anime-manga

[slender skiff]

it's less that she liked him romantically

[echo quiver]

dude's a single father and everyone thinks he's a weirdo

[slender skiff]

more of she knew that he would actually take care of her properly

[echo quiver]

i think lakan should just give her like a few thousand silver as a gift. he kinda owes her

[slender skiff]

after all, she too likes to play board games

[quaint patrol]

• Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
• Kanna Spinoff
• Elma Spinoff
• Futari Ashita mo Sorenai ni
• Dangers in my Heart
• You and I are Polar Opposites

• Yuusha Party ni Kawaii Ko ga Ita no de, Kokuhaku Shite Mita
• Oshi V ga Oshiego de something more this probably enough to search
• Fuzoroi no Renri (Assorted Entanglements), and especially the "side stories" which practically have more content than the main series at this point
• Whispering You a Love Song
• School Zone (a way more derpy and comedic romance, but it is a romance)
• Dungeon no Osananajimi
• Dekoboko Majo no Oyako Jijou
• The Warrior Princess and the Barbaric King
• Endo and Kobayashi's Live Commentary (indefinite hiatus, 26 longish chapters tho, very good)

wow this really expanded out

[slender skiff]

that what she's most known for after all

[quaint patrol]

this isnt 100% comprehensive and i skipped the repeats from this past week

but yea

i scrolled through my tabs at least

[dry moon]

Holy moly

That’s a lot

Thanks much

ender can you pin it for me

[slender skiff]

no

LMAO MAOMAO

[quaint patrol]

please no

LMAOMAO

[dry moon]

GENIUS

[slender skiff]

that's somehow even better than what's in the manga/LN

[echo quiver]

was there no better way to phrase that

[quaint patrol]

but what scene is this

i've read the manga

[slender skiff]

when jinshi asks maomao if she hated lakan

[echo quiver]

when she's asked if she hates lakan iirc

at first i thought she meant he did something to get her in the outer palace

[slender skiff]

in the manga/ln

she simply says

[echo quiver]

then i realized "oh, she meant on the planet"

[quaint patrol]

if you get through this list, i can add my completed manga that i've closed out

[slender skiff]

"eccentric as he may be, he did managed to knock up my mother, allowing me to come into being"

[quaint patrol]

this list was from scrolling my 500 tabs

[echo quiver]

casually just eating supper while discussing the origins of one's existence

[dry moon]

well, thank for your time

[quaint patrol]

yknow, after scrolling through them

i realized how many I thought were pretty bad or mid manga

im just hoarding them at this point

[slender skiff]

the dance

sugoiiiiiiiiiii

[quaint patrol]

they finally animated it?

[slender skiff]

last ep came out today

with an s2 announcement

[quaint patrol]

the seasons have been consistent with bangers these past few years

[slender skiff]

frieren is also implied to have a sequel in the works

at least from that cryptic tweet

[quaint patrol]

OnK Kusuriya this summer, whispering you a love song this april

mushoku tensei also had something sometime

was bookworm 2025?

[slender skiff]

ye

jinshi's jump is glorious

lmfao

then the headbutt

[quaint patrol]

I havent watched it since like Ep 8

maybe ill catch it up after this paper

[slender skiff]

THE GLORIOUS HEADBUTT THAT LOOKED TO BE A CONFESSION

and that nyahaha from maomao

👏

great adaptation

10/10 for me

[quaint patrol]

qt

[slender skiff]

as she always is

[thorn briar]

Who made her cry

[dry moon]

Sauce

[slender skiff]

roshidere

ya know

alya sometimes whispers sweet nothings in russian

or something

idfk the english name

[dry moon]

Oh

wait it’s finished?

[slender skiff]

not even remotely

[dry moon]

Oh

Must be looking at the wrong thing

Anyway, I just read it last week

Must be a new chapter?

[slender skiff]

that is the LN art

not the manga art

[dry moon]

Ahhh

I was merely testing you

[slender skiff]

the LN art is very light

and less distinct

the manga art is very bold by comparison

[dry moon]

She very coot

[slender skiff]

https://vxtwitter.com/AIR_News01/status/1771934512412258628?s=19

AAAAA

@silver robin @quaint patrol

[dry moon]

Qt

[slender skiff]

ritt a cute

[quaint patrol]

nice but

reading the LN completely turned me off from the series

it was so bad

literally needed bookworm to heal my sensibilities

[quaint patrol]

this is V8 art

[quaint patrol]

ender is right

there's like no progression in the school year

there is a hella interesting plotline in masachika's family situation though

[slender skiff]

how interesting?

what, ayano is actually his sister and yuki isn't or something?

[dry moon]

Yuki cuter than femc

[slender skiff]

oh i agree

[dry moon]

Would love to have a spin off around her

[quaint patrol]

his parents

his parental situation is lots of intrigue for me

[slender skiff]

you can argue that half the events of the story

is due to Yuki

[dry moon]

That’s true

[quaint patrol]

yuki is the whole plotline

[slender skiff]

and that's why she's best girl

[dry moon]

Since she did kind of incite alya to go for mc

[slender skiff]

and vice versa

[dry moon]

By saying she’s his childhood friend

[slender skiff]

her yelling about alya's (alleged) e-cups

in the bathroom

bruh

and that left him thinking about that for the whole fucking volume

culminating in him actually asking her that in order to diffuse some tension

...which he got a reply for

[dry moon]

Either way

She cute and smug

[zinc lance]

Happy Ruri

[slender skiff]

oh ye

ruri sundays

[shut lion]

dude is such a wimp

[zinc lance]

dunno. 5 women? yeaaa no

atmost maybe 2

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

deadbeat dragon

[quaint patrol]

more like

mom traveled to the mountains just to do it

[stable herald]

downbad for the dragon-

wait nvm

[quaint patrol]

unless they reveal a transformation trait or whatever

but that would be typical

[slender skiff]

literally kobayashi dragon maid

@slender skiff I should have done this earlier but, thank you for recommending Apothecary Diaries to me

[thorn briar]

When is the new chapter of orv

[slender skiff]

...5 days?

[trim swan]

[slender skiff]

kek

[thorn briar]

I just found 203

And there is 204

[flat cedar]

I hate ringed hero

the more I kept reading

[trim swan]

i remember dropping the manga really early

i think i was 5 chapters in

[shut lion]

I think its okay mostly

its just mc so afraid of intimacy even when girl said several times its ok to continue

[trim swan]

i never actually got into the manga so I dont really have an opinion

[fierce tide]

Anime MC when they get the go ahead to continue:

https://tenor.com/view/anime-creepy-daddy-boss-japan-gif-17915818

[thorn briar]

Wait

D.gray-man was in a 6 years hiatus after chapter 218

[trim swan]

just quit at that point

[thorn briar]

I remember my friend telling me about this

[trim swan]

this some hxh level shit

[silver robin]

hunter x hunter fans be like first time

[thorn briar]

It's back since 2017

[silver robin]

fun fact togashi is the most followed mangaka on twitter

[thorn briar]

So , the hiatus was from 2012 to 2017

[slender skiff]

https://tenor.com/view/first-time-meme-first-time-the-ballad-of-buster-scruggs-gif-24656975

[thorn briar]

We already get 4 chapters a year

That's good for me

[thorn briar]

I dropped hunter x hunter since I watched half of the old version on tv

[quaint patrol]

altina fans have been waiting 10 years

[slender skiff]

dont remind me

[silver robin]

i googled the author and both his series are on haitus

[slender skiff]

...he ded or sth?

[silver robin]

and both are at 14 volumes

[quaint patrol]

he was active 1 or 2 years ago on twitter

[silver robin]

which is a weird coincidence

[quaint patrol]

he made a third series on like some highschool setting

[silver robin]

also didn't know he did this series before googling

[quaint patrol]

altina's LN artist does some derpy ass drawings

Yeah the reincarnated as a demon lord LN

or whatever the TL to that is

[silver robin]

en title is

how NOT to summon a demon lord

[quaint patrol]

ty

[silver robin]

the not being all caps is what the title says

[quaint patrol]

I was looking at some comments on youtube about how the MC was so original and whatever

but reading the LN is pure garbage

[slender skiff]

it is yes

[quaint patrol]

literally mana transfer: the LN

[slender skiff]

GAHAHA

SO TRUE

[silver robin]

is that the volume 3 scene

[quaint patrol]

every volume or so

[silver robin]

oh

[quaint patrol]

maybe every 2

pretty sure there was one scene every book

[silver robin]

idr

its been like

6 years since ive read the first 3 ln volumes

i just saw them on my local library's ebook site and i was like fuck it ill check it out

[silver robin]

at least eng tl caught up

so theres that

[quaint patrol]

both series ended on hard to write arcs

bet he just gave up

V14 arc spoilers for both: ||He has to write a full war arc with surrounding nations for altina, and there's an isekai 2.0 for the demon lord one||

well Altina literally went from like

when were muskets invented?

1500s?

1465 in ottomans

so 1100s medieval warfare to muskets to howitzers

WW1 era type military tech advancement

[cedar furnace]

My local book store has a lot of mangos

[thorn briar]

D.gray-man new chapter next month

[quaint patrol]

yeah I did read through 14

[silver robin]

i went to a bookstore and they had a sign specifically saying you cannot take any manga outside the manga section without first buying it

[quaint patrol]

can you read the manga in the manga section

[silver robin]

i think so

[quaint patrol]

not so bad

do they have manga section chairs

[silver robin]

i think so

but i haven't gone to the bookstore

in like a year

i prefer libraries since i rarely reread

[thorn briar]

The manga section in the bookstore here is just filled with promised never land

[silver robin]

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

i heard manga good anime s2 bad

[thorn briar]

I never watched it

[quaint patrol]

can you tl this sam

[thorn briar]

I never read it too

I remember finding conan there lately

They got d.gray-man too and some other manga

There is Tokyo ghoul re

I just want the last 2 volumes of Tokyo ghoul

[cedar furnace]

Theft?

[silver robin]

rightmost speech bubble

"thank you for buying this booklet" (in a polite / respectful way)

[quaint patrol]

hmm, what is the warning part

[silver robin]

theres no warning

actually wait

theres something about the 44th chapter in the 9th volume

and something continues there

please go read it

[quaint patrol]

ohhhh a continuation from happenings in the previous chapter

i understand

[cedar furnace]

You understand Japanese?

[silver robin]

hai nihongo wakarimasu yo

[boreal oyster]

@slender skiff

[thorn briar]

@stable herald is orv novel worth reading

[stable herald]

Idk

Thought, iirc there a couple of people here who reads them

[thorn briar]

I will ask cad I think ender said that he read it

@quaint patrol sorry, but I have question

Have u read orv web novel

[quaint patrol]

through alot of it

[thorn briar]

Is it good

[quaint patrol]

um

it has a peaking scene about halfway through the novel but

afterwards is just cyclic MC sacrificing himself for friends

pretty annoying

the manhwa has not reached the peak scene though

[thorn briar]

I think I will give the novel a chance, but idk when

[quaint patrol]

it's worth it for awhile

can always stop after

[thorn briar]

Thanks

[silver robin]

finished both movies

they were not as good as the previous movie

especially the middle movie was mid; should have just adapted these two movies into a tv series

[cedar furnace]

Did you watch a movie in a theater with subtitles?

[thorn briar]

The only sentence that caught my attention in mahouka s3 trailer is womaniser

I think cross got isekaied into mahouka by a mistake

[silver robin]

yes, yes i did

[cedar furnace]

How many people were there?

[silver robin]

not that many in my specific theater

but i live in an oldish person area

the other 2 theaters in my area were more full

[cedar furnace]

Ah

[trim swan]

lives in boomerland

kek

[silver robin]

schools are better in this area 😔

[slender skiff]

Karane lmao

So relatable

[dry moon]

Such a comfy series

[silver robin]

who said the mom is divorced

or single

whatever the case is

[slender skiff]

You should see the full comment section

[slender skiff]

It's implied that she never even married to begin with

[silver robin]

yea

[boreal oyster]

mom having an affair with a draggie

[stable herald]

Ngl true

[stable herald]

Basically the mom is downbad for the dragon

Or the dragon rizzed her soo hard

[slender skiff]

...both maybe

[quaint patrol]

she rizzed a dragon for the fun of it

the real timeline

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

for all we know the dragon could have a human form

or the mom is also a dragon and ruri is a full dragon

[boreal oyster]

mom fallin for scally d

[slender skiff]

I'm more of the stance that Ruri is far from the only human-mythical being hybrid in that world, which is why everyone was mostly nonplussed by it

[silver robin]

yea

Guy has such an iconic voice

[echo quiver]

watching frieren and im like

dio is that you

[weak glacier]

I might be gay

[slender skiff]

Why did you feel the need to inform me of that

[weak glacier]

idk

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

I inform you

on worse things before

This is the line you draw?

[slender skiff]

I was not expecting to start my lunch break with that kind of declaration

But by all means

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

I encourage to continue your investigation into your own preferences

Though guy doesn't look blonde to me

[weak glacier]

Nah, I rather be sexually ambiguous so I can continue moving the goal post

although

[slender skiff]

My point exactly

[weak glacier]

shit

Forgot to censor

Oh well

[silver robin]

just don't draw attention to it

ex. cropping

then you fine probably

[slender skiff]

I actually have no idea which is the issue here

They're smol enough

[weak glacier]

oh sweet summer child

[weak glacier]

I can DM you the name

[silver robin]

probably some hentai character

but as long as the image itself is sfw then posting hentai is fine

its just rare to find an sfw image from a hentai for obvious reasons

[slender skiff]

This

[weak glacier]

Ironically

I had that character as a PFP

[slender skiff]

The only thing I recognised as sus there is the girl from Euphoria lmao

[weak glacier]

That's literally it

lol

I own the blu-ray

[slender skiff]

Yeah that pic is fine

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

...I shan't ask anymore details

[silver robin]

i will

why and how did you get that copy

[weak glacier]

so uhhhh

[slender skiff]

I'm more curious with the how tbh

[weak glacier]

Kids, first don't take stimulants

And uh secondly

the how

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

I bought it from Amazon JP

Did through a proxy

[silver robin]

sounds normal enough

[slender skiff]

The saddest part is that she's right next to Shamiko

[weak glacier]

It was an used copy

[slender skiff]

Who is like

The opposite of lewd

[weak glacier]

Technically

It isn't supposed to be there

[slender skiff]

Shamiko is wholesome AF

[weak glacier]

nevermind shamiko is brunette

[slender skiff]

As for ryuuko on the other side

Well, it's ryuuko so

[weak glacier]

Ryuuko isn't lewd, the animators are

[silver robin]

TRUE

literally studio trigger moment

[slender skiff]

Red heads are considered brunettes now?

[weak glacier]

I couldn't tell

If she was redhead

Or brunette

[slender skiff]

NUDISTO BEAAAAACH

[weak glacier]

I have her anime figure

And it is closer to brunette

[silver robin]

you might have gotten scammed on the figure

or the paint faded

[weak glacier]

nah

brand new

[silver robin]

i said studio trigger but my mind went to yoko lol

[silver robin]

huh

yea that is brunette

[slender skiff]

The red is going into brown there ye

https://youtu.be/s-9ASSbqAbU?si=3C99jmAGSAGNDvXb

This is probably the most well known scene from the series

[weak glacier]

shamiko hair is both red and brown lmfao

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/iZ2uhJscsZ4?si=XPXNDpyjD4sftOBU

This scene is by faaaar my favourite tho

[silver robin]

i guess its shrodingers hair color

[slender skiff]

TOKI WA KITA

[silver robin]

you dont' know until you see it

[weak glacier]

wtf isa this edit

[slender skiff]

Considering who her JP VA is...

[silver robin]

strasser

[slender skiff]

And well

[weak glacier]

bout to say

[slender skiff]

And also well

[weak glacier]

Monica Rial voiced shamiko in EN

[weak glacier]

Rial gets hated too much

[slender skiff]

And also...

Her voice is so recognisable

[silver robin]

so recognizable that i had to google it

sounded familiar tho

[weak glacier]

ngl

I like the orange girl the most

[slender skiff]

Konomi Kohara

Otherwise known as Koko-chan

[silver robin]

also speaking of recognizable vas when i watched bunny girl senpai over the last 2 days i realized futaba is the same va as frieren

[slender skiff]

Her role as Chika was definitely the one that made her popularity explode

[weak glacier]

IS the The Demon Girl Next Door get S3?

[slender skiff]

I can't remember

[weak glacier]

Mikan Hinatsuki is my fav character

[silver robin]

not yet

[weak glacier]

Guys, I swear it isn't because she is blonde

💸

[slender skiff]

Atsumi Tanezaki is literally everywhere now

She even got the opportunity to voice Anya and Frieren in the same season

Daheck

[silver robin]

yes

[slender skiff]

With a bonus of voicing one of the main supporting characters in Apothecary too

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Dat ain't cheap

[weak glacier]

You tell me

[silver robin]

inflation be hitting hard

you should talk to your local politician about it

[weak glacier]

Not including shipping and VAT

[slender skiff]

Geezus Christ

[weak glacier]

Which prefectural governor should I call?

[slender skiff]

What's that, another 30 USD for delivery?

[silver robin]

no talk to your us politician about lowering costs of international shipping

[weak glacier]

800 yen for domestic lmfao

[slender skiff]

To be fair

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I did have a figure delivered from the US

Lmao

Cos it was out of stock in Japan

[weak glacier]

oh right, you from singapore?

[slender skiff]

Yep

[silver robin]

you live in singapore so surely costs are lax

[slender skiff]

Shipping from Japan would be so much cheaper

SURELY

IF ONLY

[silver robin]

SURELY an internationally business friendly city would have low costs of business

[weak glacier]

Singapore has taxes?

[slender skiff]

Well, shipping from JP is certainly cheaper

We are considered a tax haven

But well

Cost of everything else

Is fucking ridiculous

[weak glacier]

Singapore is truly the Delaware of SEA

[slender skiff]

Our cost of living should be on par or exceed NYC

[silver robin]

yea but in exchange surely you get free healthcare and housing

surely

[weak glacier]

Fun fact: Delaware has more registered business than any state

[slender skiff]

We aren't a Scandinavian country

Ask Varia for the free healthcare

Heavily subsidised yes, free lol no

[weak glacier]

[silver robin]

and elon musk still moved his incorporation of tesla out of delaware after he lost business court cases there but i digress

[weak glacier]

I think Texas is the second place

oh whale

But yeah, I do spend money

[silver robin]

holy crap

[weak glacier]

That is actually...

Cheaper than normal

money tight rn

[silver robin]

unfortunate

[weak glacier]

Roughly, 40,000 yen

[slender skiff]

Well to be fair

My money goes to games instead

[silver robin]

my money goes nowhere

[slender skiff]

Or food

I love my food

[silver robin]

as i have $0 income but $0 expenses

[slender skiff]

So I tend to spend a bit more on food

[weak glacier]

[silver robin]

dang

shipping half of the normal cost

[weak glacier]

Boat is no option

Not that I would

But I think my yamada PO coming in

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/mlbch74sfG4?si=kIRx6O6ZXLuwHpmZ

I'm once again obliged to share this

[weak glacier]

seen that already

Have not watched the show

[silver robin]

what series

[weak glacier]

a series

[slender skiff]

Joshiraku

It's a mood and a half

[echo quiver]

oh, that's that weird anime with the guy with the long name

[weak glacier]

nothing more funny than watching a clip and nobody said what show it was, not even in the comments

[slender skiff]

One of those self aware series

Same guy who made zetsubou sensei

[silver robin]

oh its the toradora artist

[weak glacier]

should I watch lucky star?

[echo quiver]

what's even

going on

[silver robin]

thats why it looked familiar

[weak glacier]

I think I might relate to Pam

[echo quiver]

are the animators okay?

[silver robin]

yes

[echo quiver]

is this a cry for help

[silver robin]

always has been

see: mappa

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/ce646aHOS6s?si=3sAFqzobuAAFH20m

A very direct one yes

[slender skiff]

You could, but the references are extremely dated at this point

[weak glacier]

[echo quiver]

it actually sounds like they kidnapped the 4kids narrator for that video lmao

[weak glacier]

it is beautiful

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/eLJppuT3exQ?si=IfrErIP9tBVPVe5D

[weak glacier]

They renamed Uzu to San-ji... smh they should have said Sanchez

ngl, I want to see a HotD 4kids-ifcation

[slender skiff]

If you want an example of the true chaos of Joshiraku...

https://youtu.be/ecuBVcnMm6Q?si=jMno7AbvxwLM5xM_

Watch this

... insanity might be a better word

[weak glacier]

man

If that is insane

Then I don't know what to call adult swim

[echo quiver]

lmao. single handedly using up more budget than taiga

(do NOT watch moral orel)

[slender skiff]

And yes, you may have recognised the VA for Mari

[weak glacier]

hol up

Is adult swim and toonami the same?

[silver robin]

same company

both are cartoon network

believe toonami was the original name then they rebranded to adult swim

[echo quiver]

toonami is the anime part of adult swim

i think

[silver robin]

yea

[echo quiver]

since adult swim also had the western cartoons like uh... robot chicken and... something

[weak glacier]

adult swim existed before anime networking on cable television in America

[echo quiver]

and then really late into the night, they switch to toonami for anime

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

Rick and Morty infamously lmfao

[silver robin]

so they are 2 seperate things

but both are owned by cartoon network

so im partially correct

toonami is more teen oriented and adult swim is more adult stuff, from my initial google searching

but otherwise both are mainly animated stuff

[weak glacier]

Technically, that makes the upcoming Uzumaki series related to the Boodnocks in some weird way

[echo quiver]

adult swim is definitely more adult oriented. i still have ptsd from the adult swim stuff

toonami was fine tho. a lil murder here and there, but nothing too extreme

[silver robin]

ok so toonami merged with adult swim

so i was kinda right but not really

[weak glacier]

Xavier is peak insanity

@slender skiff this is insanity

This actually aired on national television btw

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiWLMKwhVUc

[slender skiff]

As you might have noticed

I've never even watched CN

[echo quiver]

good

[slender skiff]

Let alone Adult Swim or Toonami

[weak glacier]

Adult Swim makes anime nowadays

[slender skiff]

I don't live in the US after all

[weak glacier]

God this show

Is definitely of its time

And mind you, this did air on national TV

oh nevermind

Too spicy for national TV

THe did on their website

ok why tf is their an air dates guide

But I digress

[slender skiff]

Yes, and so did Ishuzoku Reviewers

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

crunchyroll dropped ishuzoku reviewers

which was funny

[slender skiff]

Actually

Wasn't World's End Harem the same?

[silver robin]

na worlds end harem didn't have as much ecchi

i thought it would be more ecchi but it wasn't

the real debate will happen when parallel paradise gets an anime

[weak glacier]

I look at that name, and took me a hot minute

Interspecies reviewers?

[silver robin]

yes

[slender skiff]

Yes

[silver robin]

nihongo no namae saikou

[weak glacier]

I hate how I know what that means

Should I have focused those efforts into Spanish

[silver robin]

you should have taken jp as your foreign language like me

[weak glacier]

too bad

I'm enlisting into the navy

and also

You kinda have to like

Know a little bit to take here

Odds are, I could be sent to those foreign languages schools in the military, but I would end up learing spanish anyhow

[silver robin]

i took jp 1 in high school with only anime knowledge as my prereq

and i ended up fine

[weak glacier]

Well

We only have german, french, and spanish

[silver robin]

there were others in my class with 0 knowledge and also did fine

ah

[weak glacier]

latin too

[silver robin]

unfortunate

my school had those, plus jp cn kr

[weak glacier]

I took french

I should have took spanish

at least I would have an employeeable skill

Learning Japanese in Texas is the same as learning Swedish in Singapore

Like

What the fuck you gonna use it for?

[slender skiff]

Which is why I have no intention of learning Japanese myself

[silver robin]

you live in se asia

its more useful than swedish surely

[slender skiff]

Chinese

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

I mean, the benefit of english is that almost everything gets translated into that

[slender skiff]

Chinese is more important here

[silver robin]

yea cn better

my lil bro was smart and took cn

[slender skiff]

The issue is

[weak glacier]

I keep forgetting how big Chinese is
Like, there is a lot of ethnic chinese people, even in Texas

[silver robin]

although his knowledge of cn in 4 years is less than my knowledge of jp in 4 years probably cause he didn't watch enough cn anime

[weak glacier]

I literally only came across ONE japanese person in my whole fucking life IRL

[slender skiff]

If you learn CN or JP as a non-native/non-mother tongue, it becomes significantly harder to learn the other

[weak glacier]

And the only way I wsa able to figure out they were Japanese... was their last name

[slender skiff]

So ye will always learn Chinese first if I get the chance

[weak glacier]

Hilarious part is

[silver robin]

then go learn it

this the internet age

[slender skiff]

Given that 70% of the pop here is Chinese

Sam

[weak glacier]

I had a Chinese boss and got fired

[silver robin]

you can do anything*

*anything != anything

[slender skiff]

I'm already working and studying my degree now

I don't have the time

[silver robin]

mood

[weak glacier]

Ironically, I've actually listend more Vietnamese pop than Chinese pop

[slender skiff]

I meant population

[weak glacier]

dunno how I ended up getting in Vietnamee pop

[slender skiff]

We've got so much Chinese

Many people think we're part of China

[silver robin]

na that can't be right

[slender skiff]

Including government leaders in certain countries that we work extremely closely with

[silver robin]

surely more people mistake you as being part of malay

[slender skiff]

Then again, I suppose it's par for the course for Mr Trump

[slender skiff]

Nope

China

[weak glacier]

I mean, Texas does have a Chinatown... multiple in fact, but that's it about to the extent to the influence. In fact, our election cards have Chinese on it too

[silver robin]

wow

[weak glacier]

actually hold on

[silver robin]

you should see the languages offered in california for voters

[slender skiff]

Mostly Americans tho yes

[weak glacier]

Vietnamese and Chinese are everywhere here

Korean is rare, but not hard to come by

Find a lot of Cambodian donut shops

Yes

That Indians owning gas stations stereotype is true

Only in rural Texas do you find non-Indian operated gas stations

And it is the most surreal experience ever

I know at least 5 different gas stations owned by Indian immigrants.. I have no idea what is going on

[silver robin]

not just indian immigrants

the one guy gets greencard to sponsor the rest of the family is common among all immigrants

the gas station thing idk where it came from

[weak glacier]

I just find it hilarious

[slender skiff]

I mean well

[weak glacier]

The types of small business owner steortypes

[slender skiff]

The stereotype here is that Indians run the shops on the ground floor of apartment buildings

[weak glacier]

Like the Korean dry cleaners, the Cambodian donut shops, the Indian motels & gas stations, and the ungodly amount of Mexican operated restaurants in Texas

@slender skiff

[slender skiff]

[weak glacier]

Spanish, Vietnamese, and Chinese

Are all over the card lmao

[silver robin]

[weak glacier]

California has the most Asian immigrants for obvious reasons

[silver robin]

west coast moment

[weak glacier]

I really want to try "authentic" chinese food

I say "authentic" in quotations because if I ask Chinese people, I'll get 100 different answers

Like asking an American how to do BBQ

[silver robin]

ive heard japan has good chinese food

*outside of china

[weak glacier]

Would not surprise me

[silver robin]

obviously the ideal thing to do is go to china outright

[weak glacier]

JP and CN always had close cultural ties, despite their hate for each other

[weak glacier]

I mean, I don't think I will enjoy as much as I think I would tbh

I love my food sweet

I will make an Asian die just by them looking at me pour sugar into my tea as I microwave it

[silver robin]

na a lot of asians pour sugar in tea

[weak glacier]

When I say sugar sam

I mean

[silver robin]

how many spoons

is it more than 1

[weak glacier]

i don't count

[silver robin]

[silver robin]

understandable then

[weak glacier]

I just take the bitterness out the tea

funny story

I went to an Ukrainian cafe in Texas. I ordered some tea, and ask if I could have some sugar

[slender skiff]

Yep

[weak glacier]

The owner handed me a packet, and I told I would need more

I said, "2 packets ain't going to cut it"

Hands me 5 in total

Safe to say

I did use all of it

[silver robin]

my parents usually use 1-2 packets maximum

[slender skiff]

I can't drink black tea personally

Green Tea on the other hand

I can drink with 0 sugar no problem

[silver robin]

the only tea ive ever drank is chai

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

Same for chamomile tea

[silver robin]

yes i don't consume caffeine

[slender skiff]

But yes tea is often served with sugar and milk here

[silver robin]

at least its still $1 right

surely

[weak glacier]

99 cents yeah

I drink it by the gallon though

I drink enough sweet tea to put most Americans, let alone Asians, in a coma

[slender skiff]

Boba tea

[weak glacier]

I drank half a kilo in one sitting

[slender skiff]

...that ain't hard at all

Lol

That's half a litre

Aka one large I guess?

[weak glacier]

of sugar

[slender skiff]

My friend, if you're drinking sugar

I don't think you're human anymore

[weak glacier]

Not sugar, just cider

[slender skiff]

Melting point of sugar should be fairly high

[silver robin]

obviously hes not human, hes american

[slender skiff]

Assuming you can even melt sugar

[weak glacier]

Caramel

[slender skiff]

It'd likely decompose first

[weak glacier]

That is what it is

[silver robin]

i hate caramel

[weak glacier]

caramel is just burnt sugar

[silver robin]

caramel can just go die in a hole

[slender skiff]

I mean I guess? Caramelisation fundamentally changes the chemical (sugar) itself tho

It's a chemical reaction

Not a physical change of state

[slender skiff]

Burnt sugar is literally just carbon

[weak glacier]

caramel changes it to a paste

Pure sugar

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

A tale as old as time

[weak glacier]

gigguk is the worst offender

i lost trust in him after that Sing Yester Day for Me and Oshi no Shit recs

I'm sure he didn't watch SYDM after 3 eps

[boreal oyster]

tf is sydm

[weak glacier]

I don't hate him, just doesn't need to give his opinions on anime

[weak glacier]

Sing yesterday for me

I'm sick of writing that out

[boreal oyster]

i mean tf is that

never heard of it

[weak glacier]

it is

The WORST romance

ever

Waste of time

[boreal oyster]

send cover

[weak glacier]

Read the synospis

[boreal oyster]

[weak glacier]

It is truly the worst

Not even fun to watch kinda of bad

it just frustratingly bad

[boreal oyster]

oh ystrdy wo utatte

[weak glacier]

I am going to spoil it

To not waste anyone's time

The MC's original interest ends up with her dead boyfriend's brother and the MC ends up with the raven girl

[boreal oyster]

huh

[weak glacier]

I'm not lying

[boreal oyster]

[weak glacier]

Highschool teacher ends up with a highschooler who happens to be her dead boyfriend's brother

This show is a complete fucking joke

Amy Schumer levels of comedy

[boreal oyster]

idk who's that but I get the spirit

[weak glacier]

The whole show is a nothing burger

They have all this drama and then

Makes the worst decisions

while being at like a 7/11

I hate this show

More than I hate Oshi no Shit

And ender can say

How much I like Oshi no Ko

[boreal oyster]

@slender skiff he like oshinoko

🏃

[weak glacier]

[slender skiff]

If I could describe Frosty's liking of Oshi no Ko

[boreal oyster]

only the incest part

[slender skiff]

It'd be similar to Yami actually finishing FMA

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

Aka never

[weak glacier]

who dat

[boreal oyster]

*yami starting to watch one piece

[slender skiff]

@pallid osprey this baka

[weak glacier]

I am not wasting my time with OnK

[slender skiff]

Did you ever watch Eva, frosty?

[weak glacier]

I did

and the end of eva

Misato is my queen

[boreal oyster]

wnd the nsfw

[weak glacier]

I do own an asuka figure too

[pallid osprey]

Yes

[slender skiff]

Our friend here only watched the Eva movies

And proclaimed it as top tier

[weak glacier]

this one?

[slender skiff]

This one yes

[boreal oyster]

I've never watched eva

[weak glacier]

it is truly an anime of all time

[slender skiff]

And he asked me to watch Eva as a result

I told him I would

[boreal oyster]

would

🎤

[slender skiff]

If he completed FMAB*

[weak glacier]

unlikely

[slender skiff]

I told him

In Oct 2022

[pallid osprey]

When?

Lier

[weak glacier]

I will finish YGO before he would finish FMAB

[slender skiff]

If he completed FMAB by Dec 2022

Along with some other shows

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

I would watch Eva

[weak glacier]

@slender skiff proof that I've watched EVA

[slender skiff]

IT'S MARCH 2024

[weak glacier]

I actually only have 2 EVA figures

That's strange

But I guess I don't like Rei or Mari

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

Found it

[boreal oyster]

yamid

wait csm is 2022

[slender skiff]

Sorry, Nov 2022

[boreal oyster]

time flies so fast

[slender skiff]

That was 9 Nov 2022

[weak glacier]

I wonder which character do I have the most of in my anime figure collection. Either Ryuuko Matoi or Eli Ayase

[slender skiff]

And today is well

March 25 2024

[weak glacier]

I think I either have 7 or 8 eli ayases

6 ryuukos

Dang

I have a lot of love live merch

[slender skiff]

Frosty pictured

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

Instead of screaming Nezuko chan

He screams

RYUUKO CHAAAAN

Wait no that's just Mako for half the anime

[weak glacier]

number too big

I meant 22

Love live figures are easy to collect

Because there is like

A lot of them
