[slender skiff]

Really well animated

But it will torture your brain to hell and back

Tag: Psychological

[ivory mauve]

Every time I get reminded of it's existant my heart aches

[solid nebula]

What is this, Domestic Girlfriend

[slender skiff]

Nah

[ivory mauve]

Nah

[slender skiff]

Domestic girlfriend is just bad writing

As is rental girlfriend

This one is very well written

[solid nebula]

We don't talk about the ending

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/dumpsterfire-flooding-fail-gif-13031064

[slender skiff]

It's just that it's mental torture to go through

[ivory mauve]

Ye

[slender skiff]

You'll be like

[solid nebula]

The mind games stronk

[slender skiff]

Oh god how can it possibly get any worse

It gets worse

[ivory mauve]

It always does

[solid nebula]

Spoil me the ending

[slender skiff]

Ending is

[solid nebula]

I probably won't watch it anyway

[slender skiff]

Bitter sweet

[ivory mauve]

Don't

[slender skiff]

It's not happy but it's not a bad ending either

It's just

Ah man

That was a fucking ride

[solid nebula]

So what, girl moves on or smth moves on

[slender skiff]

I mean in short yes

[solid nebula]

We getting a 5cm per seconds in here

[slender skiff]

But the journey there is

[solid nebula]

Oh it's a 5cm per seconds in here

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/melancholia-lars-von-trier-depression-kirsten-dunst-gif-21405088

[slender skiff]

Nah it makes 5cm per second look like nichijou

[solid nebula]

That bad hug

Huh

[slender skiff]

It's more of

5cm/s is about moving on

This one is about moving on

But not just about moving on

What happens when people can't move on

[solid nebula]

[slender skiff]

When they're in denial

And if I wanted to summarise what makes this anime a torture

It's the self-destructive tendencies of the characters

And their descent down the rabbit hole

In other words

It's fucked up

[ivory mauve]

@stable herald "monster and parent" new chapters

[solid nebula]

You mean realistic

That's why it hurts

[slender skiff]

I wouldn't recommend it to anyone unless they are emotionally mature enough

[solid nebula]

It's realistic

[slender skiff]

Yes

Actually

It is rather extreme but it's believable

Very believable

Like yes somethings are obviously exaggerated a bit for the drama

But you pretty much nailed it
It's realistic

And if we're unfortunate? Enough

We've seen such people in our own lives

Dumpster fire isn't the word I'd use here

[solid nebula]

Man, this is why I don't look for relationships, outside of pain. I just hate myself

[slender skiff]

It's like watching a train wreck

You know what's gonna happen, but you can't look away

You want to hope it gets better

It doesn't

[solid nebula]

Then someone threw a dumpster fire on top of the train wreck

[slender skiff]

Yokoyari Mengo is masterful at writing the psychological

No wonder she collaborated (as the illustrator)with Akasaka sensei (kaguya) for oshi no ko

[solid nebula]

So in shorter summary

https://tenor.com/view/emotional-damage-emotional-damage-meme-funny-gif-24332819

[solid nebula]

... ooooof

But man chapter 9-10 of Oshi No ko came out of nowhere

[slender skiff]

Oshi no Ko is fucked

Like unless you've read akasaka's works before kaguya

It's not something you'd expect out of him

[solid nebula]

Kaguya love is war.

?

[slender skiff]

Yes

[solid nebula]

we getting real funky in here chiefs

[slender skiff]

It's the same writer yes

Except ofc kaguya is also drawn by Akasaka sensei

Oshi no Ko is written by Akasaka sensei and drawn by Mengo sensei

Though I'm sure Mengo had a hand in the writing too

[solid nebula]

Think imma stick with typical shounen action shenanigans

[slender skiff]

Yeah I would advise the same...

[solid nebula]

Then maybe add a dash of Military PTSD and dark humour

[slender skiff]

I remember when it first came out

I was 17

I was thinking

Huh maybe I should watch this

(as my first 20 or so anime at the time)

I'm glad I waited till I was 21 to watch it

[solid nebula]

Bruh I started anime watching SAO

So any introduction into hard heavy stuff was thrown out the window

[solid nebula]

Sounds fair, I was looking to enlist into the army sometime once I graduate

[slender skiff]

[queen canyon]

my dude @echo river

@echo river

[violet path]

Degenerates

[long mango]

What the hell??

[slender skiff]

...is it just me

[slender skiff]

Or does Marin look like a long haired Cleveland in those pictures

[queen canyon]

[slender skiff]

I mean for the daki cover

[echo river]

ehh 9k

nothing

I have that daki

it comes with the BD

and I have the BD in japan still tho

[echo river]

tbh

I would have done the same

If I were in Japan

I'd buy anything official marin/bisque related

Like I am currently doing online

[echo quiver]

marin's room wasn't meant to be an instruction manual

nor her lifestyle

[flat cedar]

AYO

POCHI SENSEI MADE A SPIN-OFF

(is making a spin off)

[echo river]

Of what

[flat cedar]

her mainline series.

but with the uncle and the other demon

[echo river]

ah the onee san

nice

tho I think her vtuber career is slowing down her releases

well as long as she doesnt quit totally I am happy

[queen canyon]

[queen canyon]

man
would you buy the entire stock lol

[echo river]

Well

if I had the money

I dont see a problem

[violet path]

Finally a worthy opponet

Our batlle will be legendary!

Dont think my obsession can be matched so easily however

[pallid osprey]

Is the magic siscon has new season yet?

[thorn briar]

Which one

[thorn briar]

U mean this

[pallid osprey]

Yeah

Ss5 out yet?

[thorn briar]

S2 is done

Also there are 2 movies

And the 1st season but from miyuki's pov

And I think they will do more cause there was an announcement about that I think

[pallid osprey]

I done S1 S1, and Miyuki pov

Might start Movie

[thorn briar]

S2 was the perfect

[thorn briar]

: , now to read the manga

[slender skiff]

movie is meh

the ova is fine though

the one that came out on new year eve

reminiscence arc

[thorn briar]

Wait the one where they were kids was an ova

[echo quiver]

how did this thing score 71%

it wasn't funny

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

It is

[pallid osprey]

You watch Takagi-san

[thorn briar]

Yes

[slender skiff]

Technically

An ova

It's not a movie

[thorn briar]

I didn't know

[slender skiff]

It is great though

Actually

[thorn briar]

Yeah I watched it

[slender skiff]

Ova isn't the right word

Special

Would be the best

Since it premiered on TV

I watched it as it aired

It was sugoi

But yes the movie is meh

I saw it in cinemas

There is a couple of nude Miyuki and Honoka shots yes

And ofc

Best girl Lina appearing before she even appeared in the anime kekw

[thorn briar]

The 1st volume of the LN has miyuki in her underwear

[slender skiff]

No I mean

Actually nude

It is a movie after all

[thorn briar]

I don't remember the movie

[slender skiff]

Just like how asuna's boobs are on full display in ordinal scale

The Girl Who Calls the Stars

That's the name iirc

[pallid osprey]

nudity?

[slender skiff]

I mean

Yes

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

Bare breasts rather

[pallid osprey]

Time to find out

[slender skiff]

During a shower scene

More of bath

But anyways yeah

[thorn briar]

I think I remember now

[slender skiff]

Interestingly

The titular girl

Was voiced by a then little known VA

Called Konomi Kohara

You can see from the promotional streams

She's soooooo quiet

Understandably so

[thorn briar]

I never seen the streams

[slender skiff]

Given she's in front of big names like Nakamura Yuiichi

Hayami Saori

Lina was Hikasa Yoko?

Forgot

It is

And Kana Hanazawa

Then you see her on kaguya radio show and like

Wtf

[pallid osprey]

But I like Saegusa Mayumi

[thorn briar]

Maya is the aunt right ?

[pallid osprey]

This

one

[thorn briar]

I always mix thier names so sometimes I'm not sure

[pallid osprey]

Best girl

[thorn briar]

I like her too

[pallid osprey]

better than Miyuki

[thorn briar]

[pallid osprey]

Right Ender?

[slender skiff]

Yes

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

I don't care for either

Like legit

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

They are the most popular characters

But I care for neither

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/tqK2iK0_vDE

Example

Don't mind the title

[pallid osprey]

Why

you dont have interesting in girls?

[slender skiff]

I just... Don't really like them a lot?

I prefer other female characters

I like Lina and Shizuku more

[thorn briar]

I only care for tatsyua, miyuki and maya

[slender skiff]

Lina is like THE tsundere

And I just like shizuku

Like the deadpan delivery

And the character

I had her as my pfp during valentine's lol

[thorn briar]

What was the name of the girl with glasses

Cause I like her too

[slender skiff]

Mizuki

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately they're non existent in the sequel

Mayumi still gets a lot of focus

Lina obviously does too

[echo quiver]

damn. zombie boy almost got isekai'd

almost

[pallid osprey]

you can just say you are lolicon Ender, we understand

[slender skiff]

A lot of times actually

[thorn briar]

[slender skiff]

Have tou

Seen how Lina looks like

[pallid osprey]

I know how the character look like but I just like Shiro, I dont know which name is it

[slender skiff]

https://mahouka-koukou-no-rettousei.fandom.com/wiki/Angelina_Kudou_Shields

Nice thumbnail

But yeah she becomes basically the third most important character in the series

[pallid osprey]

You know what they say Ender

No one care unless you are the most important

[slender skiff]

I mean

Most important is Tatsuya

Then Miyuki

Mayumi is 4th I'd say

[pallid osprey]

Who is Mayumi

[slender skiff]

.

[pallid osprey]

Oh

I fuck up when it come to the character name part

there is thousand of character names I have to remember

[slender skiff]

Mayumi is working under Tatsuya's company in the sequel

Hence her relative importance

[pallid osprey]

I like her because that just my style

What do you think about a good character design can carry the whole TV show?

Ender

[slender skiff]

Assuming you mean good character design in terms of art

Very little

[pallid osprey]

Yes

[slender skiff]

It cannot carry the whole show

At best it'll be 6-7

[pallid osprey]

Seem so many people complain about Franxx (not me) but that show still has high view. Do you think Zero Two carries the show?

[slender skiff]

Zero Two carries because of the waifu factor

Not just her design

Franxx, like every studio trigger work

Is very divisive

Either you hate it or you love it

[pallid osprey]

I mean I like the show tho

[slender skiff]

Franxx is one of those evenly split down the middle

A lot of people despise it

A lot of people love it to heaven and back

[pallid osprey]

The only part I dont like about Franxx is they CAN have better Mecha design

[slender skiff]

The people that despise it
Mostly despise it due to the handling of ichika

That and typical studio trigger story telling

[pallid osprey]

Ichika? what are they complain about her?

[slender skiff]

It is ichika right
Blue hair

[pallid osprey]

Franxx is not pure Romance, it is Drama

[slender skiff]

Simply put

[pallid osprey]

Not every love deserve to be good ending

[slender skiff]

Ichika had about as much simps as 02

[pallid osprey]

Either way Zero Two was first girl

what are they complaining about?

[slender skiff]

So when not only did she get cucked

[pallid osprey]

Jealous?

[slender skiff]

But her character was handled rather horribly in general

After that whole botched confession thing

[pallid osprey]

Bruh whut

What the mc name again?

[slender skiff]

WHY ARE YOU ASKING ME

[pallid osprey]

He didnt like Ichika

[slender skiff]

I didn't even watch the show

[pallid osprey]

How can she got cucked if he didnt like her at the first place

[slender skiff]

I mean

She wasn't able to end up with the guy she liked

And someone else was

Hence

Cucked

[pallid osprey]

Mc friendzone Ichika, and his bestfriend like Ichika

[slender skiff]

Or rather, cuckolded

[pallid osprey]

Nu nu nu

You cant think like that

[slender skiff]

Yes I'm saying people weren't happy

Yami

You can say that all you want

[pallid osprey]

If I like someone, and that girl like other, I would be cucked?

Hell no

[slender skiff]

The reality is that

[pallid osprey]

If then every Romance is cucked

[slender skiff]

That's how people felt

I mean

Yes yami

[pallid osprey]

No Yami

No

[slender skiff]

In ichika's case

It's more of

[pallid osprey]

This is not how love work

[slender skiff]

Yes

But that's not how people see it

It's the same thing with the whole Miku and Nino thing in gotoubun

[pallid osprey]

Unless you in relationship and your partner like somebody else, that would be cucked

[slender skiff]

The respective simp base hates the other

[pallid osprey]

But Ichika is just friend

nothing above that

from the very first scene

[slender skiff]

Fine let me put it in a better way

Ichika simps didn't like that she didn't end up with the mc

Hence they grew to despise the series

The end

But well it is a studio trigger work at the end of the day
So it was always gonna be divisive in some way

[pallid osprey]

Oh I didn't watch the show, But 5 girl like him and you assume 4 girls get cucked just because he chose one?

No

[slender skiff]

No?

Nothing to do with that lol

I'm not talking about characters here

I'm talking about their fanbase

[pallid osprey]

Oh

[slender skiff]

Or their simps

[pallid osprey]

To much moral

[slender skiff]

They don't like their simp didn't win

They riot

That's why gotoubun author made sure neither nino or miku won

[pallid osprey]

I can tell you this Ender

[slender skiff]

Because either winning would have caused a riot

Due to the respective fanbase hatred for each other

[pallid osprey]

If the show really end with Ichika x Hito instead of 02, that is even more fuck up

[slender skiff]

Idk and idc

I haven't watched and never intend to watch franxx

[pallid osprey]

Why you hate Mecha that much

[slender skiff]

It's not even about the mecha in this particular case

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

I just... Don't find it interesting

It's not like I hate all mecha

I watched gundam seed as a kid

Though I understood absolutely nothing

[pallid osprey]

That doesn't count

you kid know nothing

[slender skiff]

Code Geass is mecha

[pallid osprey]

Oh

is it

[slender skiff]

It is

Most of the fight scenes are mecha oriented lol

[pallid osprey]

Bruh, I already dont like code geass

know you are saying

it is mecha

[slender skiff]

I mean

[pallid osprey]

then I should never wacth it

Mecha need high quality in art to be watch or else it fuck up

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/1575/Code-Geass-Hangyaku-no-Lelouch/

You can even se the damn mechas in the poster

[pallid osprey]

And what make you like it?

[slender skiff]

I didn't like it because of the mecha

I like it because of the story

Lelouch is an amazing main character too

He's a lot like Light Yagami in the sense

Both are extremely intelligent

[pallid osprey]

Oh really

[slender skiff]

Play mind games

[pallid osprey]

well hope for remake or

[slender skiff]

Much like light he has a super power... Ish

It already got its "remake"

[pallid osprey]

Bruh that is remake?

2006 is remake?

[slender skiff]

No

They remade it into movies

Which are obviously worse

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

Because they lack the depth

[pallid osprey]

So I should watch movie right?

[slender skiff]

The movie is a giant disservice to the series

So no

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

A movie is like

In this case 2h 15min

Each ep is say 20 mins

You're condensing 8 hours of content into 2

It does cover the main points sure

But it loses a lot of the value

A lot of the mind games

Because we can no longer see the thought processes

[pallid osprey]

Man

I want to watch it

cuz I dont know what is Mind game and Mecha combine is

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/101811/Code-Geass-Hangyaku-no-Lelouch-I--Koudou/

Rating plummeted by 8%

[pallid osprey]

But the art tells me not to

[slender skiff]

And frankly

Not much difference in art

Given you did watch the Evangelion movies

I suppose it's fine

But you are missing out

[pallid osprey]

this look nice

[slender skiff]

If you want to by all mean ofc

I mean

It's literally 11 years later

With a movie budget

If it didn't look better idk what to say

[pallid osprey]

hmm

no

If the 2006 art look like the movie

Yes

[slender skiff]

But I don't think there's much difference

At most the colours look better

Chins still pointy af

[pallid osprey]

Time to move to 4.0 era ender

Anime art is better nowaday

so we can focus on judging the plot

Am I right?

[grizzled acorn]

idk about that one

still see a lot of shows with shit animation and art

[ivory mauve]

New gundam anime

[slender skiff]

On the whole yes

[pallid osprey]

Like nowaday?

Which one?

[slender skiff]

But some shows still retain the quality of old days

Why go so far

Realist Hero seems like a early 2010s anime

[pallid osprey]

Is that a anime name?

[grizzled acorn]

record of ragnarok, exarm

[solid nebula]

honestly I like it

[pallid osprey]

[grizzled acorn]

just to give prime examples

[slender skiff]

Ex arm is not a good example

It's an example of a modern anime done horribly

It's not that it uses old artstyle

[pallid osprey]

[grizzled acorn]

exarm is the first thing that popped into my mind

modern. looks shit

[slender skiff]

Ex-arm is about as bad as it gets

[solid nebula]

some anime benefit using a older style

[pallid osprey]

Like which one

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/I4x0jTcxx1k

Like holy shit

[pallid osprey]

[grizzled acorn]

the entire shows budget went on that opening

[pallid osprey]

Made by god himself

Is that kinda arrogant

[silver robin]

Yeah i cant think of an anime that would be better in old art styles vs newer ones

[solid nebula]

Smth smth Blacksmith

[slender skiff]

It's being sarcastic

Because

[solid nebula]

Gimme a MINUTE

[slender skiff]

Ex-arm is

Horrendous

[silver robin]

[grizzled acorn]

God himself descended unto the earth, gave us exarm, left.

[slender skiff]

There definitely are

[solid nebula]

Honestly didn't watch much anime to defend my point but it still stands

[slender skiff]

Just need to remember

[solid nebula]

if a tad weak

[pallid osprey]

Me neither

[pallid osprey]

Nah, your point aint nothing until you give me proof

[slender skiff]

Nonsense like berserk aside

[solid nebula]

it will in my heart

[silver robin]

Well cg vs no cg and 3d vs 2d are not the arguments im making

[solid nebula]

oh god damn it, Sacred Blacksmith is from 09, I forgot

Lmao

[slender skiff]

Bakemonogatari

[silver robin]

[solid nebula]

Well from the top of my head Aokana

[slender skiff]

Bake is as old as FMA B now

[grizzled acorn]

its that old?

you could convince me it came out this year honestly. its beautiful

[slender skiff]

I actually prefer bake art to kizu's art

[grizzled acorn]

kizu looks good too though

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/5081/Bakemonogatari/

[grizzled acorn]

bake is just, really out there

[slender skiff]

Really Clyde

It is that old yes

A lot of the older shaft works really

They're best with the original style

https://anilist.co/anime/2605/Sayonara-Zetsubou-Sensei/

Another one better left with the original

[pallid osprey]

That old era

Not new

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/113311/Kakushigoto/

Same mangaka, over 10 years later

Oh strictly new?

Fruits basket kekw

[pallid osprey]

Bake is jusr old anime but good art

[solid nebula]

gasp, it's a child! Now yeet the child

[slender skiff]

It retains the original art style

Hence why the giant eyes

[pallid osprey]

Because audiences get fimiliar with it

[slender skiff]

But modern animation techniques

I could then throw in card captor sakura

[pallid osprey]

Your point is modern anime take avandtage and profit out of old art style

Which I aint see

[slender skiff]

Well berserk I already mentioned

[pallid osprey]

But this is kind interesting

Any review

???

Like why yall say god made that anime for us

[slender skiff]

It's being very sarcastic

Because of how badly animated it is

It's one of those

It's so bad it's good sort of things

https://youtu.be/Haa0J8oEyWA

This video explains why everything went wrong with ex-arm

[pallid osprey]

Oh

[slender skiff]

There's no point asking for a story review

[pallid osprey]

Look like over used 3D

[slender skiff]

It was always meh to begin with

Manga got axed afterward

A lot of cases put forth about modern anime being better in older art

Is due to poor CGI use

So Berserk 2016

[solid nebula]

Crunchyroll has a history with making their own bad anime...

is what i'm getting

[slender skiff]

Kumo Desu Ka Nani Ka

Arifureta

[silver robin]

Overall quality went up though

[slender skiff]

Especially kumo

I felt that would have been way better in older style

Sure you lose dynamic angles

But you can play around with faces more

Oh right

I forgot

Initial D

Modern remakes are pretty much universally acknowledged to be worse

Cos of how they animated the races

With the original, you can actually see what the hell is going on with the cars and their relative positions

In the remakes you can only see what's inside the damn vehicle lol

[pallid osprey]

Is thst spider?

[slender skiff]

Yes

I feel that

Had they stuck with an older style

They would have much more liberty with facial expressions

Instead you're forced to look at

Weird flailing

[pallid osprey]

I saw it ok

but I would like less 3D art

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/uC6VMB-tOB0

https://youtu.be/YzKOJu-xUzg

Older style focuses more on the cars

Newer one... More on the faces

[grizzled acorn]

what a beautiful show

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

Ofc this is more of direction choice

Rather than animation choice

[pallid osprey]

We have Tokyo Driff as an anime

[grizzled acorn]

[slender skiff]

Yami

[grizzled acorn]

say sike rn

[slender skiff]

Tokyo drift and all its memes came from this show

[pallid osprey]

[grizzled acorn]

[pallid osprey]

Unbelievable

[slender skiff]

There is a very good reason why there are no new car racing anime

None can compete basically

that and it's not very popular as a genre anymore

[grizzled acorn]

wish it was, I'd love a new good racing anime

[pallid osprey]

Yeah but futuristic

[grizzled acorn]

besides that new one coming out by type s that Acura is putting out

[slender skiff]

Futuristic if anything

Takes away from it

It's about driving skill after all

Not about fancy gadgets

[pallid osprey]

We can have both right?

Ender

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately no one has been successful

[pallid osprey]

Not yet

[grizzled acorn]

whats with this thing

[pallid osprey]

[grizzled acorn]

https://youtu.be/pD6W4oh1plY

[slender skiff]

Not "not yet"

I think no one will ever try

[pallid osprey]

Damn

Nice art

This is what im talking about

[slender skiff]

Mind you this is... Early 1990s

[pallid osprey]

But is it an anime?

[grizzled acorn]

fuck if i know

[slender skiff]

No

[grizzled acorn]

i saw ads for it at times square, looked like anime. i know nothing more

[slender skiff]

It's promotion material

[grizzled acorn]

thats what i thought it was

[slender skiff]

For a fucking car

[solid nebula]

oh yeah I forgot the Initial D movie didn't have any eurobeat

sad innit

[pallid osprey]

Lmao

Comment

Ender belike

[grizzled acorn]

based

we do need one

initial d was so good and it scratches an itch that nothing else manages to

i want to see more road safety violations

[slender skiff]

The thing about car racing in anime is

It's the CGI issue

[pallid osprey]

CGI?

[slender skiff]

I mean

Most popular racing based cartoons are American

At least currently

[solid nebula]

MFS Ghost

I wait

[slender skiff]

Because most of them use CGI for their cars

Or more specifically

3D models

[pallid osprey]

Oh

Cuz they look better

[slender skiff]

The Japanese animation industry has an allergy to CGI

They can look better

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

Once you've learnt how to use it, it can save a lot of time

Since you don't need to redraw every cell

Just drag the model and change some bits here and there

Pull a point here and there

Change the colour

Done

The west, more specifically Disney and Pixar have mastered the art of CGI in animated movies

[grizzled acorn]

is that getting an anime?

[solid nebula]

yep

[grizzled acorn]

W

[solid nebula]

https://youtu.be/2fSXarfeg3A

[grizzled acorn]

day made

[slender skiff]

Until the Japanese

[solid nebula]

The sequel to Initial D is near

boiiiii

[slender skiff]

Decide to not have an allergy

To cgi

Good luck

[solid nebula]

literally CGI

we going back to 1990s Initial D lads

[grizzled acorn]

i didnt hear any eurobeats in the trailer

ideally they add them

would be awesome

[solid nebula]

Hopefully it'll come in the anime

God I can't wait for the reveal of who's the MC's mentor is

[slender skiff]

The first 20 seconds are fine

[grizzled acorn]

would be an awesome throwback

[slender skiff]

Like I genuinely like the first 20 seconds

Everything else

Ehhhhhhhhhh is this the best they can offer in 2022?

[solid nebula]

||Best we got is that guy from the Akagi Red Suns and Takumi as a cameo||

Oh yeah, I forgot the Eighty-Six is dead

[slender skiff]

It was fine until they zoomed out from the cars

Then it started to look janky

Or rather

Not a product of its time

It looks more like early 2010s

[solid nebula]

idk, the anime car scene is dead

and thus it's coming back

now if that one car manga would get an anime adaptation with the female protaganist in taht one Toyota car

god it has been ages since I read that

[slender skiff]

Pray ufotable does a car racing anime after kny then

[grizzled acorn]

lmfao

[solid nebula]

found it

it's Over Rev

[warm cobalt]

ufotable remake akira

[grizzled acorn]

why

[echo quiver]

eu is a lovable cupcake. a cold, tsundere one

[echo quiver]

now that i think about it, kyoto is tokyo backwards

oh, it's on purpose

til

(no it's not. dont trust posts from 2005)

[grizzled acorn]

thats genius

i didnt realize they were just the characters swapped, somehow

[queen canyon]

the fact that kyoto was the former capital of JP

it just

eh

Kyoto : Imperial Capital
Tokyo : East Imperial Capital

[pallid osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/noire-neptunia-nowaru-shock-gif-9675444

anyone know what anime is this?

[wooden aspen]

noire neptunia according to google

[solemn pollen]

nope

[wooden aspen]

for the character, that is

[solemn pollen]

they should change it back

[pallid osprey]

[wooden aspen]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

or should i mean noire from neptunia

[ivory mauve]

https://youtu.be/jAIyiV1C8Vg

https://tenor.com/view/gundam-laser-anime-mecha-laser-sword-gif-17279782

[pallid osprey]

Well

these new art kinda change everything

[ivory mauve]

New gundam series

[inner sphinx]

https://tenor.com/view/nep-gif-15581012

[wooden aspen]

i mean , it differs from how the VN and collab looks

i can mistake that for date a live for the anime

[slender skiff]

Hyperdimension Neptunia (OVAs)

Character is as said, Noire

[slender skiff]

The DAL VNs are also made by compile heart yes...

[wooden aspen]

i mean , i'm nowhere familliar with the series other than the collab-

[slender skiff]

I'm surprised no one else here knowns nep

Considering

WE HAD A BLOODY COLLAB WITH IT

And that it's fairly famous regardless

[silver robin]

Kanji are different though
東京 (tokyo)　京都 (kyoto)

[silver robin]

I know it

I literally joined AL

Cause i saw a sponsored vid by lost pause

Showing off nep collab

[pallid osprey]

But is it good?

to watch?

No?

[wooden aspen]

iirc i joined al before the hololive collab

[slender skiff]

It's... A series of OVAs

To shill the main series VNs

[silver robin]

i joined a week after nep collab ended

[wooden aspen]

i didnt even know what hololive was back then

[slender skiff]

Well I say OVAs

But it's basically a normal anime

[pallid osprey]

What is OVA mean

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/16157/Choujigen-Game-Neptune-THE-ANIMATION/

Original Video Animation

As in non canon

[pallid osprey]

But is this anti male character?

[slender skiff]

Quite sure none

You will probably not enjoy this

[pallid osprey]

But the character design look fine

[slender skiff]

Weren't you the one who said you wouldn't check out anything below an 8

Let alone a 7

Lol

[grizzled acorn]

if youre interested in it, play the games

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

What nights said

[pallid osprey]

Wait

[grizzled acorn]

the anime is not there

[pallid osprey]

I did say that?

[slender skiff]

You did

[grizzled acorn]

he just like me fr

[slender skiff]

SoL only if it's 9

[pallid osprey]

maybe I forgot, 8 as my opinion not people

[slender skiff]

This one is a solid mid

7.5 at best for me

[pallid osprey]

So the Collab is promotion for the game not the anime?

[grizzled acorn]

how would we know what youd rate it before you watch the show

[slender skiff]

The anime is also a promotion for the games

So yes

In fact

[pallid osprey]

Yeah that kinda hard to explain but I almost rate everything in my head when I see the poster and read summary of the anime

[slender skiff]

Are any of the AL collabs besides Gridman/Dynazeon for anime lul

[grizzled acorn]

the game is the main attraction when it comes to neptunia. its anime kinda like persona 5, nowhere near the level of the source material

[slender skiff]

Let's see, Nep is a game, Utawawerumono is a VN, Hololive and Kizuna AI are vtubers, Dead or Alive is also a game

[pallid osprey]

If Ender already rate 7.5 as max, there is no reason for me to watch then

[slender skiff]

It's not worth

[grizzled acorn]

^

[slender skiff]

It's not bad but it's not good either

It's one of those

This show goes out to our playerbase yooo

[inner sphinx]

Why not try watching it first

[slender skiff]

Wisdom have you heard the saga of Yami regarding FMA

[violet path]

Full Metal jAcket

[pallid osprey]

Oofs, Ender made someone upset

[slender skiff]

Yami, he's talking about you

Not me

[inner sphinx]

[pallid osprey]

Oh

Fuck

[inner sphinx]

Not sure which part of that is someone being upset either

[violet path]

Why would someone play/watch something before reviewing it

[pallid osprey]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/528197562998718474/916691908418482266/677592867564158977.gif

[inner sphinx]

Anyway, just don't get brainwashed

[violet path]

Dont you wanna be like a video game journalist

[slender skiff]

I mean wisdom

[silver robin]

is this a shot at ectl

[slender skiff]

This is the guy

That refused to watch FMA Brotherhood

[inner sphinx]

Dejavu

[slender skiff]

Cos of artstyle

Said he watched one ep already and he wasn't going to budge

[violet path]

Its a shot at most internet journalists

"Journalists"

[slender skiff]

Turns out instead of watching brotherhood, he watched the original

[inner sphinx]

[slender skiff]

2003 one

[grizzled acorn]

No, game journalist grindset is opening the game, failing the tutorial, calling game bad

Respect the hustle

[slender skiff]

Which is why the artstyle was mediocre

[violet path]

Imagine they review touhou

EASY MODE?! HOW LAME! ONLY KIDS PLAY ON EASY MODE!!

[inner sphinx]

Easy mode? But the only mode is Lunatic

[pallid osprey]

But look at this, this seem like way better than FMA

[violet path]

i cant get past meiling but i refuse to go down to easy mode

[slender skiff]

Because it's based on a game

That came out like

Idfk

6? Years after

[pallid osprey]

[violet path]

Animes based on games are either absolutely fuckin amazing or dogwater

[slender skiff]

^

[violet path]

No inbetween

Persona 5 anine
Absolite shit

[pallid osprey]

[violet path]

Steins gate anime
Peak

[slender skiff]

Just checked again, they do have the same artist
Tsunako

Steins gate is a VN

[wooden aspen]

[slender skiff]

[violet path]

VN is still a game

[silver robin]

Honestly doesnt surprise me

[slender skiff]

Let's be fair to the games

[inner sphinx]

2013

Nepnep

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

You can't play a VN

[wooden aspen]

so the artist simply adapted to a simpler artstyle for the anime

[slender skiff]

You read a VN

[silver robin]

Henry stickman series best vn

[violet path]

But a vn is a genre of game not genre of book

[grizzled acorn]

Then watch it and mourn when you rate it a 6/10

[slender skiff]

Unless you treat it like an audio book

[inner sphinx]

We had a lot of VN adaptation a few years ago eh

Like Mashiro-iro

[pallid osprey]

What a Visual Novel look like? Manga but it can move?

[inner sphinx]

Ushinawareta Mirai wo Motomete

[slender skiff]

A visual novel

[violet path]

Okay but this ones really good

[pallid osprey]

I highly doubt I will rate it 6

[violet path]

[slender skiff]

Simply put is a game that features a story that's voiced, has cut scenes and usually allows you to make choices to advance the story

[violet path]

Still though how do you fuck up persona 5 so much the game was so good

[silver robin]

Look up original fate stay night visual novel playthrough on youtube

[pallid osprey]

Oh

[slender skiff]

There's nothing much to play per se

[grizzled acorn]

Rushed af

[pallid osprey]

so it basically the game

[slender skiff]

Except making the choices

[violet path]

The anime is like poopoo tier

[wooden aspen]

i mean , crosswave is basically a vn with 3d combat gameplay

it had potential

[violet path]

Crosswave is just pure fanservice

[slender skiff]

Quite a handful of big anime originate from VN

[wooden aspen]

i can see why you say that

[grizzled acorn]

5* mb

[slender skiff]

Arutezza mentioned Steins Gate

[pallid osprey]

[inner sphinx]

Crosswave

[violet path]

YES I DID

[slender skiff]

Sam mentioned Fate/Stay Night

[violet path]

Fate is a series im scared to get into

[slender skiff]

I will throw in Clannad

[violet path]

Seems more complicated than gundam

[grizzled acorn]

Get into it mongrel

[inner sphinx]

Scared?

[pallid osprey]

It aint that scare

[slender skiff]

I mean

[inner sphinx]

[slender skiff]

If you only watch the bare essentials

[pallid osprey]

It just historical people fight

[slender skiff]

You'll be fine

[violet path]

No i have to go down the SciAdv rabbit hole

[silver robin]

Yami you would enjoy visual novels believe me

[slender skiff]

It's basically

[inner sphinx]

But VN requires you to read

[grizzled acorn]

Did i scare you?

[slender skiff]

A voiced manga

[silver robin]

obviously theres good and bad ones just like anime

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

TRUE

[violet path]

This is why i dont want to get into fate

[slender skiff]

Actually

Doesn't have cut scenes/CG all the time

So maybe manga is a bit strong

[grizzled acorn]

Honestly that timeline is really simple when you just look at it

[inner sphinx]

Voiced but if I don't understand a thing, it's just . . . .
and I en can't read

[silver robin]

Just watch ufotable fates then dip

[violet path]

Its about as simple as all evangelion

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

A voiced light novel with the occasional cut scenes

[pallid osprey]

Evangelion simple

whut

[violet path]

Evangelion is a yaoi romance disguised as a action anime

[slender skiff]

Yami, you didn't check out the full extent of eva

[inner sphinx]

Are there any anime based on VN this season? Or in the next one?

[pallid osprey]

Bruh

[grizzled acorn]

Based

[violet path]

Kaworu

[slender skiff]

Right, the part I wanted to forget

[pallid osprey]

I know what he is saying

[slender skiff]

kaginado s2

[pallid osprey]

kinda funny if you look that way tho

[inner sphinx]

We're still in Isekai train now

[grizzled acorn]

Wait what yaoi romance

[violet path]

Just watch the rebuilds youll feel better

[grizzled acorn]

I know nothing of this

[slender skiff]

Shinji

[violet path]

Shinji gets cured of gay

[slender skiff]

Liking some

Weird guy or something I can't be arsed to remember

[pallid osprey]

It's just diff perspective but there is yaoi love in Eva

[inner sphinx]

Not wrong but still

[slender skiff]

I mean

If you're as much a key nerd as I am

[violet path]

Yeah shinji and kaworu

[pallid osprey]

It's not that bad

[inner sphinx]

4 minutes per episode

[slender skiff]

Kaginado is fucking gold
