anime-manga

[slender skiff]

But that feels more SoL

Because any attempt at making a serious story of that might end up being spoilers for what the actual game intends to cover

It's for the same reason that it would be difficult to make a pre-story about the stellaron hunters

[thorn briar]

Doesn't this look like some figures that u build like the gundam ones

[slender skiff]

Not just gundams

A lot of models in general

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

At least

DIY ones

[thorn briar]

That's cause I just realised this on my rewatch for d.gray-man

[cedar furnace]

Jokes, memes, and morals aside. Is it accurate?

I'm legitimately curious

I just remember this being memed on years ago

[silver robin]

if you include the plots that happened in the past then i agree

[cedar furnace]

And yes I know that English and Japanese are in two different language categories

[slender skiff]

Nope they're different words

[silver robin]

if you only include the quests that you yourself have played through then i think genshin is slightly more ahead as of right now

[slender skiff]

I mean, the Japanese culture still the loans the word "pedo" from English

[cedar furnace]

Bad? Mid? Terrible? Awful? Half assed? Second thought? Not a priority? Low quality? Kinda not up to par?

[cedar furnace]

Now that I think about it, English has a lot of lone words

[slender skiff]

Sumeru and Fontaine cooked too hard yes...

[cedar furnace]

I haven't played genshin

[silver robin]

i also like how hsr is less pandering to immature audiences

[cedar furnace]

Genshin fans are... how do I put this?

[slender skiff]

I still remember there was this one anime

I can't remember which scene it was

But the guy proudly proclaimed he was a lolicon and not a pedo

[silver robin]

sounds like something araragi would say

[slender skiff]

It wasn't Lucky Star, though there's a very similar scene in there

[silver robin]

[cedar furnace]

I'd also say the same thing about R1999. And its not lewd but the story can get heavy toned

[slender skiff]

Where the father proclaims that he's "not a lolicon"
But "also a lolicon"

[silver robin]

surely you could just google it

[cedar furnace]

But is it appropriate?

[silver robin]

ender is 21+ so idc

[cedar furnace]

I mean I asked before I posted the aphrodisiac joke

Cuz I thought it was funny

And a property done dirty joke in my opinion

[slender skiff]

Oh yes, the vocal minority is horrendous

[silver robin]

if you want to ask thats fine
but i trust my common sense, therefore i don't need to ask that often

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/16SNLEiiYG0?si=PV3I9l50dlSB-Erd

[cedar furnace]

Yep

[silver robin]

[cedar furnace]

I asked cuz aphrodisiacs are sex drugs

[slender skiff]

This was definitely from Lucky Star

[slender skiff]

And all jokes aside
This is one of the only scenes in Lucky Star where the anime takes a sombre and more serious mood

[silver robin]

got confused by the not merica spelling for a second

[cedar furnace]

I'd even say that that's an understatement

[slender skiff]

...it might have been actually

The issue is then finding out which monogatari anime that's from

[silver robin]

it can't be that hard

[slender skiff]

It's most likely in response to a line from Hachikuji

[silver robin]

yes

and shes not in every season (i think)

[slender skiff]

Most

The only ones she's not in are Hana and Kizu

[silver robin]

[cedar furnace]

I remember a scene like that in the pastor anime

Where Hazel asked Lawrence if he's "taking advantage" of Cecilia

[slender skiff]

I mean

Not because of that

[slender skiff]

In this particular scene's case

[cedar furnace]

It's kinda played as a joke at first but it's taken seriously if you know what I mean

[slender skiff]

Konata is basically taking a jab at her father

[cedar furnace]

Oh

[slender skiff]

Since he dotes on her a lot (and she's petite)

And her late mom was even moreso

That's the initial gag

What made this scene more sombre

[cedar furnace]

Dotes?

[slender skiff]

Was when the mom's ghost popped by for a visit in this scene

That's why the video is called "Kanata's visit"

The first meaning

[cedar furnace]

So nothing bad

Right

[slender skiff]

It's nothing bad in this context

It's more of he dotes on her a lot because she's his only child, and because his wife/her mother has passed on

Basically he's doing what he can

[cedar furnace]

That's what I ment

[slender skiff]

The daughter is just making a joke at her father's expense

Since he really dotes on her

[cedar furnace]

Ok now I definitely see a similarly

[slender skiff]

The reason the daughter is an otaku is because of him really

[cedar furnace]

Like father like daughter I guess

[slender skiff]

"o kawaii koto"

[cedar furnace]

Also why do people care so much about what language somebody watches a show in?

[silver robin]

cause they dum

but if the translation team sucks then it does matter

since dialogue can change the vibe of the scene / show as a whole

but assuming the translation team did their job properly then it doesn't matter

[solid nebula]

FISHING IN ANOTHER WORLD. LET'S GOOOO

Finally, good manga

Before you ask
The sauce is this
The Forsaken Saintess and her foodie roadtrip in Another World

Ma'am, there is a galaxy in your fridge

[weak glacier]

Seems about right

[weak glacier]

Lolicon was created so that pedophiles wouldn't be grouped with other pedophiles

[slender skiff]

Cultural context often vanishes with translations

Whether dubbing or subbing

Something is ALWAYS lost

https://youtu.be/pU9sHwNKc2c?si=vsBQ00rK67d4UkfW

[weak glacier]

The word derives from lolita complex, which is not a subtle reference

[slender skiff]

A very good video explaining the issues with subs and dubs

[weak glacier]

I don't make that distinction

[silver robin]

something something some book etc

[weak glacier]

Lolita it is

About a guy creeping on a young girl

[silver robin]

yes

[weak glacier]

Not something you want to label yourself after

anyways enough of that weird talk

4kids dubs are unironically good

even with its dumb censorship

The only good thing 4kids does best is that they have than real American cartoon feel

Believe or not, English doesn't have to be generic midwest accent

[cedar furnace]

Agreed

[weak glacier]

I like how they gave joey an NYC italian accent

from Yugioh

Funniest shit

[cedar furnace]

Nyah! Brooklyn Rage

[cedar furnace]

https://youtu.be/c53OoE-AJLM?si=kRjSYt9Qn5n77UxS

[weak glacier]

you know whats funny

I was actually right

the VA was from New York

LMAO

I can't fucking believe it

[cedar furnace]

He also still does yugioh dubs

[weak glacier]

he's a good VA

[cedar furnace]

Agreed

[weak glacier]

we need more accents

I don't think I came across a scottish one yet

[cedar furnace]

I think one reason could be that if two languages are in a different language category sone things can get lost in translation

[solid nebula]

I know Nerissa, a holomem, explained about it with her "love me love me love me" cover

[cedar furnace]

If what's their name raise the prices doesn't that mean they can do more stuff with the money?

[slender skiff]

Crunchyroll

Also no lmao

The same argument would apply to Netflix raising prices

[somber relic]

hey can do more stuff with the money?

do you know that Crunchyroll closed their manga license service already?

we also just talked about how YenPress digital manga quality got low resolution with their high pricing

soo

[cedar furnace]

What's that?

[somber relic]

you can take a conclusion here

[somber relic]

what?

it's exactly what I said

Crunchyroll used to license manga as well

[cedar furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/crab-gif-26300412

[somber relic]

Final Fantasy Lost Stranger, also almost all of Hoyoverse-related comic licensed by Crunchy

lol

here for the title list https://www.mangaupdates.com/group/d5rrh73/crunchyroll

[cedar furnace]

If they dub a certain anime I'll be happy

[cedar furnace]

Idiot updates mango?

[somber relic]

that's the site name, similar with Baka-Tsuki

I guess Gen Z and gen alpha weebs in this channel never heard their name before

[cedar furnace]

Well anyways they probably raised for more money or something

[cedar furnace]

I wouldn't consider myself a weeb but no I haven't heard of it

[weak glacier]

I mean, I'm much aware of that
But that also reminds me when culture warriors were making a ruckus out a fact that some company did 2 layers of translation (Japanese -> English -> whatever it was)

[somber relic]

dude, that's not acceptable if they are doing it for commercial release

now that's just pathetic

[weak glacier]

It's whatever

[somber relic]

second-hand tl is cringe and should never exist

[slender skiff]

It's essentially a broken telephone

[weak glacier]

[somber relic]

except for some special circumstances

[slender skiff]

If it's a fan TL that's one thing

But an official one is

💀

[somber relic]

yes yes

[weak glacier]

I mean

If it isn't a really big market, it won't make a difference

[somber relic]

there is no justification for second-hand tl sold commercially except for some super old stuff that very hard to get the original text

[weak glacier]

well that's your opinion

[cedar furnace]

And on top of that a language barrier

[slender skiff]

From an objective stand point, what Haru says is right lol

[somber relic]

or the languange of the original text is so obscure it's hard to find a person who fluent in that languange

[weak glacier]

It has it's issues, but the point is to drive sales, not to keep whatever the original says lol

Same reason why people hate 4kids

[somber relic]

what with this pathetic capitalism mindset lol

[weak glacier]

You talking about capitalism in anime market?

Anime lives off of consumerism

lol

[somber relic]

translation stuff, for anything

because you sell them

to ppl

[weak glacier]

The irony of people complaining about capitalism in anime never is lost on me

They cancel whole series if books aren't being sold

That's just how business works

[somber relic]

I don't give a fuck about western anime market. Second hand tl sold to ppl is hardly can be justified

except for special circumstances I mentioned above

[weak glacier]

cool beans, then don't bitch about translation if you don't care about western market

[somber relic]

how?

[weak glacier]

If you don't care, then why do you care what they do?

[somber relic]

do you think ppl only translating from original lang to english?

lol

[somber relic]

also it's affected ppl outside American as well

reminder English is the most common languange used in the world now

[weak glacier]

"I don't care about the western market"
"I don't like what the western market does"

So just read the Japanese versions?

[somber relic]

@slender skiff why frosty love to spitted out questionable take like this

I can't

[weak glacier]

My guy

You acting like you don't care and then become critical of something you claim you don't care about

lol

That's like me saying I don't care about OnK

[somber relic]

I care, but on different aspect

[weak glacier]

My guy, if you don't like the industry, you can always make a stink on Twitter (formerly X)

That's the only way you can get western media companies to listen to you nowadays lol

Translation is always going to be controversial
But quite honestly I hate the direction modern translations going to
Most of them try to copy exactly what the JP text says and makes it very stale

Even though 4kids censors a lot, it felt pretty authentic as an American

[somber relic]

whatever I guess, this make me reminded with the convo of anti-MTL faction vs. brainrot pro-MTL faction

[slender skiff]

That's just an MTL

[cedar furnace]

So hopefully they dub the angel anime

[slender skiff]

At this point

That's copium

[cedar furnace]

MTL?

[somber relic]

machine translation

Google TL, DeepL etc.

[weak glacier]

Nah, I know it's not MTL because they keep a lot of Japanese lingo in it

[cedar furnace]

https://tenor.com/view/hope-gif-19238353

[weak glacier]

Copium is complaining about censorship

[cedar furnace]

Oh those are not very accurate

[somber relic]

that's an understatement

[slender skiff]

MTL, like AI, is ultimately is a tool

It can be used to assist

But that's about it

[weak glacier]

Dubs are trying their hardest to emulate JP speech and it's bad...

[slender skiff]

I mean

[weak glacier]

the older was didn't care what the underlying JP text was

[slender skiff]

Dubs usually have to follow the mouth movements

So

[weak glacier]

Not really

[slender skiff]

They do

[cedar furnace]

Or edit them

[slender skiff]

That's common practice

[somber relic]

might as well make new anime from the scratch lol

[weak glacier]

There is tricks in animation to sidestep this whole issue

But it's not so much following the mouth movements as much as it is trying to replicate the feeling of Japanese

[slender skiff]

Yes, but there's a limit to what you can do

[weak glacier]

Like 4kids feels way more authentic than funimation could pull off

[slender skiff]

Again, this video is really good for explaining all these

[weak glacier]

Funimation either pulls some guy who pull of a midwest accent or some generic posh person

[slender skiff]

Even if it's concerning live action

[weak glacier]

I already watched that, but I don't think you quite get it

Localization is what the whole crux of the issue is

Localization doesn't matter as much anymore because people are becoming familarize with JP culture

But it loses its authenticity

I think one of the funniest localizations was Those Who Hunt Elves when they replace the coffe shop with Starbucks

it was funny af

idc about what the original says, just want to have fun

[somber relic]

and that "fun" thing should be in the territory of Fan-TL (or fan dub, if they exist), if you ask me

[weak glacier]

it's whatever

people will argue about this to their graves

But probably best casting choice was giving Joey from Yugioh an NYC accent

funniest shit ever

[somber relic]

it feels funny to me that Frosty is the only Murican weebs I met online in my life that literally scream "I'm American"

[boreal oyster]

american

define American

[cedar furnace]

I hope the angel anime gets dubbed I'm hopiuming

[silver robin]

Texas moment

[cedar furnace]

Wtf is a kilometer

[silver robin]

1.6 km = 1 mile

[weak glacier]

Because I was raised on cartoons, not anime

I didn't start watching anime until junior year of highschool

Most American weebs don't even understand American culture

[somber relic]

the anime I only watched until SHS was pretty much stuff like Bleach, Naruto and Doraemon

I watched stuff like Spongebob, Chalkzone, Oogie cockroaches something etc. for the rest

[weak glacier]

Anime always felt a natural extension of cartoons

It's controversial only for anime fans

[somber relic]

Anime is just another form cartoons duh

[weak glacier]

Well, anime fans don't want to be associated with cartoons

[somber relic]

just with different kind of artstyle

[weak glacier]

I always find it funny anime fans are the only ones arguing over what is an anime

[somber relic]

anime fans community are filled with morons, that's why

there is a reason why I avoid chatting in anime-focused topic channel on discord most of the times

in a big public weebs discord server especially

look at AnimeSoul server for example, that server is horrid

at least there is only fews ppl talking here

[slim rain]

I just heard frieren’s dub voice

[weak glacier]

[somber relic]

is that your AL profile

looks like it

[weak glacier]

yeah...

[somber relic]

it mentioned figurine

[weak glacier]

I also been saying controversial stuff too

[slim rain]

currently yapping in the anime-manga channel of an anime gacha game

[weak glacier]

https://anilist.co/user/RossFrost/

I have better anime discussions with people who don't make anime their personality

[somber relic]

except this place doesn't really talk about anime all of the time fortunately

[slim rain]

This channel specifically does

[somber relic]

otherwise I won't ever appear here

I started talking here when someone posted Blame!! manga

and Knight of Sidonia

[weak glacier]

I have read all of blame

I own 2 physical copies

and read the whole series in HS

it was ok

I liked the part where I didn't have to read

[somber relic]

if only the timing was when you ppl talking about who better between Goku and Rimuru I probably will just mute this channel and pretend it never exist

[weak glacier]

Fun fact: hatsune miku has more anime figures than all of goku forms combined

[somber relic]

lol

[weak glacier]

And goku has over a thousand anime figures

[stable herald]

Thanks Frosty, you just justified how funny american teens are in this ages

[weak glacier]

I had to explain what Scooby Doo was too an American weeb

We're doomed

What's next, I'm going to explain what tom and jerry was?

[stable herald]

what the fuck

Me living in SEA knows more bout the western cartoons:

I missed the old Cartoon Network man

[weak glacier]

I guess Murican kids nowadays know about Kai Cenat more than their own cartoon

and some trash rap music they have

[weak glacier]

I predict Scooby Doo is going to get an anime someday

[stable herald]

they had like what, naruto, pokemon obviously, bakugan, some gundam series, shin chan AND FUCKIN BOBOBOBOBOBOBO

BOBOBO WAS PEAK

ITS THE BEST SHIT I'VE WATCHED AS A KID

thanks to my nephew

[weak glacier]

Sailor Jupiter has the same luck with guys as for me with ladies

[somber relic]

I just haven't added it to my Anilist yet because I don't really know which movies I actually watch

I need to rewatch that

[somber relic]

A lot of my watchlist involves waiting this year

[thorn briar]

I can post it here now

[trim swan]

[thorn briar]

I totally forgot about this , source: d.gray-man

[thorn briar]

Wait

[thorn briar]

This chapter was released 8 years ago

[echo quiver]

lmao i was going to post that second one a few days ago too

[echo quiver]

"fine. make them eunuchs"

[thorn briar]

I forgot this too

@trim swan yeah , I'm not alright come here

Looking at some d.gray-man pages from previous chapters

[trim swan]

[thorn briar]

Can make my head spin and overthink

[thorn briar]

[trim swan]

maybe I should read d gray man too

so we can both be messed up

[thorn briar]

Do it

[trim swan]

[thorn briar]

U will have fun since we get a chapter every 3 or 4 months

So like 4 chapters a year

[somber relic]

don't

[thorn briar]

Do

[somber relic]

see what shiroyasha said

[thorn briar]

[somber relic]

the slow fucking chapter update will torture you

D Gray Man fans are masochist

[thorn briar]

It teach u patience

[somber relic]

it's not even a monthly manga

[somber relic]

[thorn briar]

It was

[somber relic]

was

[thorn briar]

Yeah

It's good even now

[somber relic]

so how is And There Were None

[thorn briar]

Good

But , it literally happened twice in 2 cases in komonhashi ron

So, I feel like I'm reading komonhashi ron manga

[thorn briar]

I guess we are , since we know that allen will ||disappear|| and nea will ||takeover|| him

And we are heading toward things that we aren't ready for

Wait

Nea is gonna ||destroy|| everything again

Nea wants to ||kill|| mana too

Too much things happening and I forgot about them

Good thing I started a rewatch for d.gray-man yesterday

I only watched the 1st episode now

And I cried looking at everything

[cedar furnace]

I like this running gag. It's something that wasn't touched on as much in ARC V

[slender skiff]

Did you even watch bokuyaba

[whole berry]

What's that

[slender skiff]

Dangers in my heart

[whole berry]

Yeah

[boreal oyster]

coroner

[whole berry]

I internally cringed

[boreal oyster]

Coronary heart

[slender skiff]

So I'm guessing you dropped it around the first 3 eps

[boreal oyster]

is the danger

[whole berry]

I finished season 1

[slender skiff]

Then I really don't understand

[dry moon]

I read the manga but I just hated the male leads design

Everything is fine except his hair

[whole berry]

I don't hate the design, i just cringed at the MCs personality

[slender skiff]

I mean

[boreal oyster]

ppl said frieren is bad bcs there's no fight

[whole berry]

Girls cool tho

[slender skiff]

That's the point

[boreal oyster]

let alone a middle schooler love story

[slender skiff]

He's a cringy middle schooler

Let's not pretend like middle school boys don't seem cringy

[dry moon]

[whole berry]

I know, my chunni lasted from elem to 9th grade

[slender skiff]

Ah

[boreal oyster]

bros chunni lasted long

[slender skiff]

So then it's not because you hate the cringe

It's because you see yourself in him

[whole berry]

Yes

[slender skiff]

[whole berry]

But not to the point i followed a girl

[boreal oyster]

others chunni phase : become anime and shit
me : learning 'traditional' magics

[slender skiff]

Wat

[whole berry]

I'm talking about the MC

[slender skiff]

He... Doesn't do that tho?

[whole berry]

He followed her to the infirmary and under the bed

So what happened during season 2?

[slender skiff]

It's... A continuation of s1

[whole berry]

The chart says season 2

[slender skiff]

And then getting closer

And I believe Yamada indirectly confessed

In either the latest episode or the episode before that

[whole berry]

So how did it got 1st place?

[boreal oyster]

boobs?

idk idontwatch

[whole berry]

[slender skiff]

I mean

[somber relic]

typical harem anime/manga brainrot convo

[slender skiff]

I don't know how to explain it well

[somber relic]

[slender skiff]

They're just a really adorable couple to watch

And you can't help but root for them to get together

[boreal oyster]

can't relate

[slender skiff]

And you completely missed the mark yourself

It's not even a harem series

???

For Yamada and Ichikawa

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

It's less they're the "best couple"

It's more of they're the couple you'd root for to get together the most

It's the "oh god just get a room already"

Well, that's not to mention the diabetes that ensues of course

As for me personally

[boreal oyster]

my blood sugar level is normal

[slender skiff]

I just find the way their relationship develops

To be really good for a romcom

[boreal oyster]

bros no longer bkorn simp

[slender skiff]

No no

I'm also a Lynnette simp

[boreal oyster]

nn

[slender skiff]

Tho my phone wallpaper is Voyager instead

[boreal oyster]

[whole berry]

I forgot to mention

Wtf happened to gojo and mari

[slender skiff]

I mean

It's a really nice pic

Even if she's one of the most horrifyingly powerful characters in reverse if you stopped to read her lore

[slender skiff]

And my phone lock screen is Nilou

[cedar furnace]

Ah

[slender skiff]

Especially when it comes to dubs

It's more predictable for original language release

...well it also depends on how early or late they start production

[cedar furnace]

For that angel anime I only saw two names for 2 characters

So even the JP version doesn't have a full cast list

[slender skiff]

So they'll likely announce the supporting cast later this month

Or next

[cedar furnace]

Next what?

[slender skiff]

Next month

[boreal oyster]

TBone mendez

[cedar furnace]

Ah

[solid nebula]

Even better

Bunny girls exist. My life is complete

[boreal oyster]

bnuuy

[thorn briar]

You are telling me that lavi which is this guy didn't appear in d.gray-man for 13 years now

[weak glacier]

That's the weirdest look Asuka /s

[thorn briar]

It's from the 2nd season

This is the last time we saw him in the manga

[solid nebula]

IF I DONT SEE THESE TWO MARRY T THE END. IMMA CRY

This women is after my heart. She is over 30

[echo quiver]

why did you add that last part in the end

[solid nebula]

I am notorious for out of left pocket shit

I got a reputation to uphold here

[weak glacier]

I was a weird kid

[dry moon]

I love her design but nnnnng she’s such a manipulative bitch

[silver robin]

yes

but i care about design more than personality with fictional characters

[dry moon]

Yeah…

when you get them as a character personality doesn’t really matter

Just really hate her but also love her

[silver robin]

yeppega

[silver robin]

Oh the anime got to that in the most recent episode i think

or wait idk

maybe its a similar scene cause i dont remember background characters acting like that

[ivory mauve]

I'm almost caught up

[silver robin]

I dont think anime mentioned that

well it mentioned that she has the crush but not the reverse harem

[ivory mauve]

Nah that's like chapter 76 or something

[silver robin]

[ivory mauve]

Anime is around 50 to 60 of the manga. Right around where he begins teaching

[silver robin]

yea

hes going on his rimuru sidequest arc

[ivory mauve]

I swear

That gremlin is learning

[ivory mauve]

More like accidental chain quest

[silver robin]

fair enough

Oh they finally found out he typo'd

[ivory mauve]

Yee

[silver robin]

[ivory mauve]

So there is a different between hyumans and humans

[dry moon]

A letter

[ivory mauve]

||Humans can crossbreed meanwhile hyumans can't||

||This gets revealed by the one responsible for the teleportation accident||

[weak glacier]

Japanese edotopms

cheaper to buy from Japan

even with shipping lol

I have a dumb project I'm thinking of

[teal solstice]

Yes 100 percent

[cedar furnace]

Even in the financial crisis?

[weak glacier]

Makes it cheaper

https://webcomicsapp.com/comic/Metal-Goddess-Soldier/65a897d08c252b1eb23d010c

Oh hey

Iron Ladies got an official release

got picked up by Tencent

[silver robin]

holy

[weak glacier]

inb4 physical release

man going places

[thorn briar]

I miss his eye when it was going like this

[weak glacier]

Iron ladies was changed to Metal Goddess Soldier in the official translation

Interesting

yahoo finance somehow lets you legally bypass the paywall lol

https://finance.yahoo.com/news/tencent-sells-loss-making-animation-093000576.html

Hoping we get more manhua released

$86 million is kinda cheap ngl

i'm confused

how the hell webcomics work

they charge for chapters?

There's like... 500+ chapters?

That's over $100

[slender skiff]

dunno
still better than ruan mei

arguably

[slender skiff]

Ah yes. Sparkle

[echo quiver]

it's hilarious but people still pay that much

i think a lot of webcomics end around 150 chapters

but that's still like

a lot of money

oh, it's $50

lol

on tapas

line webtoon is also like $50

[echo quiver]

instant

adoption

[thorn briar]

Running away immediately u mean

[thorn briar]

Wtf

This was stated from the 2nd episode

My love

Can u comeback please

[boreal oyster]

someone really said yogiri anime is so bad even BnP is better than that anime

[ivory mauve]

The elden ring manga is hilarious

[thorn briar]

WAIT WTF , this is literally what's happening in the manga now

How did they say it in the 2nd episode

[dry moon]

[thorn briar]

What mommy

[dry moon]

FUCK

hi shiro

[thorn briar]

Slimey

[dry moon]

[thorn briar]

And he's saying this , we were literally getting prepared from the 2nd episode, but I guess we didn't realise it

||The destroyer of time|| is literally Nea

I don't know how do I spoiler this

[pallid prairie]

What r u watching my guy?

[bronze bluff]

I speedran the anime and I'm now at s2

[thorn briar]

I'm rewatching d.gray-man

Cause I almost forgot everything that happened at the beginning

[cedar furnace]

In one day?

[bronze bluff]

yes

Should've read LN but ae

[silver robin]

i finished all 12 eps of no game no life in 2 days

[trim swan]

pathetic

[cedar furnace]

What

[silver robin]

was my first anime anime

[trim swan]

oh

still pathetic tho

[slender skiff]

That's not hard at all lol

What's so surprising?

[slender skiff]

Also, wasn't NGNL 13 eps

[silver robin]

idr its been like 6 years

[cedar furnace]

Free time cuz I've been busy

[slender skiff]

I mean

Sam is still a student

And given ngnl's age

[silver robin]

i don't have free time naymore

back then i did have free time

[slender skiff]

Its probably a few years ago

[cedar furnace]

I know it's just as of late

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I too have little free time

[silver robin]

i watched ngnl 6 years ago

believe it came out in 2012

[slender skiff]

Like

[silver robin]

or was it 2014

or 2016

i can't remember

na it had its 10th anni recently so it had to be 2012

[slender skiff]

I'm so busy
I've been struggling to play GI and HSR as of late

I haven't had an opportunity to touch hsr story
And Ive been spoilt a million times as a result

And my twitter feed is full of firefly art

[silver robin]

i did the story a week and a half after it came out

[slender skiff]

I guess I can finish the CNY story for Genshin today

But yeah the scale of chenyu vale is not helping

As for HSR

Gah the temptation to roll for Black Swan is so high

But no I must persevere

I am still an Ueda Reina simp

[silver robin]

just roll for all female limited 5* like me

im still f2p somehow despite having all female limited 5*

[slender skiff]

I could

[silver robin]

also i know the artist in your pfp

[slender skiff]

The thing is I still intend to roll for Acheron

Sooooooooo

I already rolled quite a few times in BS banner

Just to get Guinaifen

So I'm already close to soft pity zzz

[slender skiff]

I think some Italian ministers would agree

[silver robin]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/763834347777556541/1146143479081214053/lynette_1.gif

[cedar furnace]

Wait a minute we could team up

[slender skiff]

Different server probably

You and Sam might be able to tho

[cedar furnace]

NA

[slender skiff]

I'm in Asia server yep

[cedar furnace]

Oh

Do they have cross country support or nah?

[slender skiff]

Nope
No cross server support

I mean it's not really a multiplayer game anyways

The only thing you can do is borrow your friends' characters

[silver robin]

wait you haven't watched this yet

wtf

[slender skiff]

I mean

The school arc in tonikawa

Is hilariously one of my favourites

In the entire series

[silver robin]

i agree

[slender skiff]

I've gone back to it several times

And the whole bit with kaguya definitely moves the story along

Meanwhile in the manga:

Gdi tsukasa

[weak glacier]

@slender skiff I think I accidentally stumble across the final boss

https://anilist.co/user/Lexie/

You know what I hate

I agree with some of the reviews

I saw someone liked my post

[slender skiff]

https://vxtwitter.com/seiyuucorner/status/1758506527671861446?s=19

[weak glacier]

sheryl...

Is goblin slayer worth it?

[echo quiver]

pros: goblin slayer. mili music.
cons: slows down during drama parts. author clearly had lewd thoughts

[weak glacier]

thats a given ngl

that sword maiden looking like a snack

[echo quiver]

im surprised mili never got as many big anime contracts like yoasobi. i wonder if it's because yoasobi is backed by sony

mili just has a few video games and goblin slayer that i know of

oh, neat. they also did some small animes ive never heard of. some weird looking ghost in the shell and... i dont even know for the second one

gleipnir

[weak glacier]

You got to be generic if you want to make it

[slender skiff]

I'd say yes

It's pretty different from typical Japanese fantasy anime

In fact

[weak glacier]

I did a quick google and I saw the word "adventurer" and I was like "OH BOY IT'S ISEKAI"

[slender skiff]

If you extract the story out
It could even pass as a western fantasy

It's not isekai

[weak glacier]

ik

I was precondition to responde that way lol

[slender skiff]

I'd say it's worth the shot

[weak glacier]

I have the first 2 volumes for whatever reason

[slender skiff]

At least if you can get pass the shock value of the first ep

[weak glacier]

I bought for like $1

[weak glacier]

Mfer I read the first chapters of OnK and thought it was lame & watched HotD

[slender skiff]

Unlike Overlord

Where it's edge for the sake of edge

It's less edge

More of that's just how the world is

[weak glacier]

You'll have to go to Human Centipede levels of shocking to shock me

[slender skiff]

Without spoiling too much

[weak glacier]

I hate how much I know about that movie

[slender skiff]

The first ep "shock value" stems from how this beginner party woefully underestimated goblins at their own peril

[weak glacier]

Does it have video game aspects?

[slender skiff]

It does

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Sort of

Less video game

More trpg

[weak glacier]

Then it's not really western...

[slender skiff]

No level or experience mechanics

But things like magic and skills

Are limited use per day

[weak glacier]

Western fantasy doesn't include any game mechanics

Like nada

You'll probably get relegated to Ready Player One status if you did that in America

[slender skiff]

That's the only "game like mechanic"

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

The fact that magic is limited to a few times per day

[weak glacier]

whatever, gonna watch anyways

[slender skiff]

Maybe it's better to visualise it like a DnD campaign?

[weak glacier]

ig

[slender skiff]

No dice rolls ofc

It's just the way stuff works

[weak glacier]

DnD is probably more fitting

Video Games have skill points, etc

THey'll make it obvious

[slender skiff]

There is this one LN where it's literally a DnD campaign

GS doesn't try too hard to be one or the other

It just wants to tell an interesting story

[weak glacier]

I feel like LNs is just authors airring their dirty laundry by projecting on random characters

[slender skiff]

Do give it a shot tho yes

[weak glacier]

I got yugiohs ways to goes

[slender skiff]

That's gonna take awhile

[weak glacier]

I got like what? 210 episodes?

30 episodes in

I'm only here for Mai

And you know me, I got at a snails pace

Took me like what? 3 months to get through the last anime

ngl I'm not even paying much attention to most of yugioh

A lot of repeating animations and people yelling at each other about things I don't even understand

I seriously think I seen them reuse the same animations in like 6 episodes

[quaint patrol]

if he makes a clone baby and then turns off the dad clone, is the baby clone a clone or a real baby

[boreal oyster]

"i should not going inside that, HOWEVER,"

[bronze bluff]

...

[slender skiff]

1% chance indeed

[bronze bluff]

[glass flax]

there's a whole manga about armpit

[silver robin]

theres multiple whole mangas about tights so im not surprised

[glass flax]

wait wrong image

[echo quiver]

why is there an entire manga about armpit

[glass flax]

it's hot

and very ecchi

[weak glacier]

what are we looking at

do they like it hairy or shaved?

also I logged into my MAL account and got pinged by a bunch of deleted posts

Looks the jannies on MAL really couldn't handle scott pilgrim talk

People still posting about it wtf

Is MAL ok?

I can't -
