[thorn briar]

Why did I open Pandora hearts again

[slender skiff]

It's literally called pandora

What did you think was gonna happen

[thorn briar]

I remember reading it twice and I'm still not over what happened

My friends recommended it to me I watched the anime and was feeling nervous but when I read the manga I understood why I was nervous

But the way the manga ended

[boreal oyster]

[thorn briar]

I'm complaining

[boreal oyster]

[thorn briar]

About one of my used to be fave manga

This still makes me laugh

[ivory mauve]

@silver robin @slender skiff ping me! If you don't i won't be able to reply in time

[silver robin]

oh

i just default to no ping cause i don't wanna be rude

ill keep that in mind probably

[ivory mauve]

Nyeeeeeet

[echo quiver]

was waiting for them to start lifting off

[ivory mauve]

You waited for nothing. Unless someone animates that

[slender skiff]

Spoiler for Oshi no Ko new chap

(fyi that's the ||ex president of the company||)

[solid nebula]

Damn bruh, his sister scary

[slender skiff]

Overtook the brother in the horror factor

Even in sophistication

[solid nebula]

I feel sorry for any poor bastard that attempts to date her

[slender skiff]

She gave quite the nasty surprise to her bro this chap

@solid nebula

[solid nebula]

Accurate

[slender skiff]

So I just finished hatamaou's LN

I did know the ending

But I really hate how it was written

Wagahara sensei either seriously sucks at writing romance

Or he couldn't decide the damn ending he wanted to do till near the end

It feels so weird

Like it was shoe horned in over the last few volumes

When it was headed in a completely different direction initially

I'm not surprised his new series is tanking

He really screwed the pooch on this one

[slender skiff]

Note: That is still Eiko's singing VA

[flat cedar]

OKETE

LESS THAN 2 HOURS TILL EPISODE 12

of Koming

[echo quiver]

less than a week left of anime this season

probably. i haven't been keeping track

[flat cedar]

today is last ep tho

[echo quiver]

i mean in general

all the animes

[slender skiff]

Spoiler for kaguya's latest chap

This, is why you set alarms people

[thorn briar]

[thorn briar]

[silver robin]

@slender skiff

[slender skiff]

Uwu

[slender skiff]

Wtf

[echo quiver]

chestburster and... cat chestburster

ok

why not

i should work.
but skeleton knight is out

priorities

[echo quiver]

Praise lord ponta

[thorn briar]

[ivory mauve]

Chaika the coffin princess

[silver robin]

oh

ive heard of that

i think i watched like 1 ep then dropped it

[ivory mauve]

Cartoonish violence be advised

[ivory mauve]

Your mistake

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

I dropped it too

Wasn't appealing

[echo quiver]

dark souls references are overrated

when can we get a skyrim blackout meme in anime

... wait, the chestburster things weren't fan edits?

[ivory mauve]

It wasn't

[echo quiver]

mmm- oh, gross patties too

is that a half-pounder sausage burger

contaminating my moo burgers with inferior oink and cluck burgers

and newspaper ink

if you angle it juuuust right

[ivory mauve]

Char ink

[stable herald]

the fuck

[stable herald]

ah i remembered this anime. i was fuckin shockes by that alien liked monster

reminded me of Aliens-xenomophs

[echo quiver]

the other one with the chestbursters was definitely inspired by alien

[echo quiver]

this one, yeah

i think

the chest one is... well, the obvious chestburster

and the face one is the faceburster(?) variant from one of the games, i think

i mean, it's still technically a chestburster... but out your mouth

[ivory mauve]

It was in the comics

[ivory mauve]

It freaked me out first time

[silver robin]

koumei ended today sadge

hopefully theres an s2 but we will see

[slender skiff]

They did release

2 more vids yesterday

Of Eiko and Nanami's singing VO singing the OP in their own way

Rather than their character's

[slender skiff]

^

It's kinda cool seeing the transition

[silver robin]

finally PA works had a good anime, and it only took them not making an original

[grizzled acorn]

need season 2 now

i also want them to release fulls for all their insert songs, like Underworld

that song goes hard

[slender skiff]

Oh they will

It's a matter of time

Kaguya has already done that

https://youtu.be/kuEl3LL3CD0

[grizzled acorn]

I know theyve done it for some of them

[solid nebula]

Angry Aquatope across the white sand noises

[silver robin]

that was mid

Story was pretty mid

At least day i became a god invoked emotion from me

[grizzled acorn]

That show was so boring

Aquatope looked pretty but boy could i barely sit through an episode

[solid nebula]

Just be you fellas

I find it quite good

[solemn pollen]

time to hit the manga

[slender skiff]

There's

Not much more material

And because it's in such a niche series

It's very hard to find it

Even the official one was painful enough to find

And even that isn't far head of the anime

[echo quiver]

but why would anyone want to watch it without the animation reminiscent of esports animated music videos

with cursed chika looking like a normal human being rather than a distraught anime teen mother

||i raised that boy||

[slender skiff]

Cos this is the full version

[echo quiver]

i want best of both worlds

[faint crag]

Animate it yourself

[silver robin]

wtf

how tf does youtube music thing get copyrighted by itself

[faint crag]

It's not copyrighted
It just doesn't allow embeds

[silver robin]

:(

yeah

also how tf does it have this many plays

[faint crag]

Anime popular

[silver robin]

i guess so

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/piGuCMs_qok

Even this has the same number of views

Kaguya is that popular yes

It is rather unusual tho yes

For an author to have 2 rather big series run concurrently

Probably helps that he's not drawing for Oshi no Ko

But still

Guy must have a lot of assistants

[pallid osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/princess-mononoke-hug-hugs-anime-hug-tightly-gif-16503947

Such a good movie

@slender skiff

Have you try this

[slender skiff]

Heard of it

Haven't watched it

[pallid osprey]

I just done it

https://tenor.com/view/howls-moving-castle-howl-sophie-studio-ghibli-ghibli-gif-24065521

The art style is like this anime

Tho I forgot what is this anime name

[silver robin]

that looks like gihbli

[grizzled acorn]

It is

Thats howls moving castle

[stable herald]

reminded me of The Pilot's lovr song

its great

[slender skiff]

It is Ghibli

[grizzled acorn]

The first one was princess mononoke. Both are some of the better ghibli films

Imo

[slender skiff]

I am amazed yami watched a Ghibli film tho

[pallid osprey]

Yeah

The first one is mono noke hi me

[grizzled acorn]

Well id sure hope he has no complaints with the animation

At the very least

[slender skiff]

It is on a movie budget

[stable herald]

Soo this anime....is it the wind rises?

[grizzled acorn]

No

[slender skiff]

And it's Ghibli

[grizzled acorn]

Howls moving castle

[stable herald]

oh i see

[pallid osprey]

Classic bruh, if you have never ever watch these you aint wibu

[slender skiff]

(you cane see from the gif name btw)

[grizzled acorn]

Thats my favorite ghibli film. Should check that one out

[stable herald]

the girl's dress looks the same

[slender skiff]

I've watched other Ghibli films

[pallid osprey]

It's been very long

[stable herald]

i've watched wind rises.

[echo quiver]

let me just ask how that went for the touhou team

[slender skiff]

Spirited Away is one
The other was Laputa

Oh right
Ponyo is technically a Ghibli film too

[grizzled acorn]

Those two are also great

[pallid osprey]

Ender

You seem like you like that artstyle a lot

[slender skiff]

Not exactly

[echo quiver]

ive never seen gibli except spirited away, but i can play a few lines of the laputa song on easy

[grizzled acorn]

Ponyo looks amazing, but man do i hate the characters. They annoy me, but that one is even more geared towards children than their other movies so

[slender skiff]

I'm not really a big Ghibli fan

Ponyo is meant to be a children film yes

[grizzled acorn]

Same, i find most of its overrated, but theyre pretty and have a good ost so i watch

[echo quiver]

although that song got uh

copyright striked or something

[slender skiff]

Which song

[echo quiver]

and i didnt save the sheet music

[slender skiff]

Laputa?

[echo quiver]

ya

some person wrote the lyrics for piano for beginners

only anime song i could sort of play

others are all way too hard lol

brb, gonna play unravel

[slender skiff]

I don't really watch movies in general

Really

[silver robin]

only ghibli movies i watched were howls and spirited away

[slender skiff]

Ghibli have kinda lost their touch honestly

[silver robin]

almost like

[echo quiver]

i think i saw part of howl back when tvs still aired anime

[silver robin]

miyazaki retired

[echo quiver]

i think tvs still air anime, but i dont watch tv so

might as well not exist

[silver robin]

tvs still air anime

i was in a hotel a couple months ago for a chess tournament

[pallid osprey]

But you just advertiser SAO movie + KnY movie + slime movie

[silver robin]

and the TV had assassination classroom

s2

[slender skiff]

I just post the news

[silver robin]

on toonami

[slender skiff]

I haven't even watched ordinal scale

[silver robin]

smh

[slender skiff]

And that's from 2017

[silver robin]

i mean i only watch a couple anime movies here and there as well

[echo quiver]

whats kny

[pallid osprey]

Overlord July air?

[silver robin]

demon slayer

[echo quiver]

kara no youkai

oh

[silver robin]

kimetsu no yaiba

kny

[slender skiff]

Overlord is in July

Yes

[pallid osprey]

Finnally

[slender skiff]

KnK is at least worth getting confused over

[pallid osprey]

Something good in the past 5 years

[slender skiff]

Cos KnK can be both Kara no Kyoukai
And Kyoukai no Kanata

[echo quiver]

awwwww yeah. more shitty cgi and powertrip fantasy garbage

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earwig_and_the_Witch

This was Ghibli's latest work

[silver robin]

at least ufotable has not shitty cgi

[slender skiff]

I mean...

[silver robin]

yeah see, once elder miyazaki retired the studio went to shit

[slender skiff]

They were trying something new I guess

[pallid osprey]

Why does it look like they make 3D anime

[silver robin]

thats the son

[pallid osprey]

[silver robin]

and the son is bad

at anime direction

[slender skiff]

Ghibli's era is at an end

[silver robin]

it ended once elder miyazaki retired

[slender skiff]

After like 20+ years

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Well it lived longer than gainax

[silver robin]

elder miyazaki retired in like early 2010s i think

well gainax rebranded to trigger

or more technically trigger was started by former gainax staff

[slender skiff]

Ghibli was founded in 85

Totoro was 88

Laputa was 86

[silver robin]

yami plz

:laffeyshake:

[slender skiff]

Monoke was 97

Spirited away was 01

[pallid osprey]

Wow

[slender skiff]

Howl was 04

[silver robin]

spirited away was the last anime movie to win an oscar

[slender skiff]

Yami watched an anime older than him

[echo quiver]

they finally learned to abuse their most popular assets

[slender skiff]

What an achievement

[pallid osprey]

Ender not a Ghibli enjoyer but he named so much

[silver robin]

almost like

hes reading off wikipedia

[slender skiff]

Wait

Sam

[silver robin]

what

[grizzled acorn]

Dont tell him that

[silver robin]

you wondering why spirited away was the last anime movie to win an oscar?

its simple

[silver robin]

oh

[echo quiver]

oh, i thought this was a shitpost

[slender skiff]

[grizzled acorn]

👀

[silver robin]

yeah i think he came back after he realized his son was a disappointment

thats the only logical conclusion i can think of

[slender skiff]

Nepotism doesn't work in Japan

[grizzled acorn]

Thats better left unsaid

[slender skiff]

Fortunately

This isn't India

[echo quiver]

or a car dealership

[slender skiff]

The Indian movie industry is horrendously nepotistic

[echo quiver]

they have funny clips tho

[slender skiff]

Hollywood is somewhat better

[slender skiff]

I do watch a lot of Indian films
There's not exactly much shortage

The sitcoms are the worst tho

[silver robin]

indian movies are all the same

theres no creativity

[slender skiff]

Miyazaki commenced animation work in July 2016, later confirmed by studio executive Toshio Suzuki.[2] With Miyazaki coming out of retirement, Studio Ghibli re-opened with many of the past collaborators working on the project.

The power of a name eh

In December 2020, Suzuki stated that the production was working with no deadlines, similarly to The Tale of the Princess Kaguya (2013), which took eight years to make.

8 years?

Miyazaki stated that the film is not to be expected anytime soon; he said that in his younger age he used to produce 10 minutes of animation every month, but now his speed was reduced to 1 minute per month.

[echo quiver]

what kind of NEET billionaire is bankrolling them

oh, they just poor

[slender skiff]

Toshio Suzuki said that Miyazaki is working on the film for his grandson as his way of saying "Grandpa is moving onto the next world soon but he is leaving behind this film".

That was in 2017

[echo quiver]

...

[slender skiff]

He's still kicking well now ain't he

[echo quiver]

well that's kind of dark

[slender skiff]

I mean

He is 81

[silver robin]

1 minute of animation a month

[echo quiver]

basically a young lad

[silver robin]

assuming 120 minutes = 1 movie

thats like 10 years

[pallid osprey]

Best girl

[slender skiff]

girl

[silver robin]

uh

thats rimuru

who technically is genderless?

[echo quiver]

i feel like that's inaccurate in so many...

wait, why is rimuru in so many girl outfits

[silver robin]

isn't rimuru being genderless canon

[slender skiff]

Rimuru is specified explicitly several times to be genderless

[silver robin]

yeah

[slender skiff]

One word. Shuna

[echo quiver]

ah

[pallid osprey]

No, it is shuzune

[slender skiff]

Shuna loves to make girl clothes for him

[echo quiver]

i was suspecting ONE of them

i forgot she makes clothes

[slender skiff]

And shion often goes along for the ride too

Not making clothes

But dressing rimuru up

Tho it's usually shuna

[pallid osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/tensura-slime-bunny-anime-shame-gif-22520998

[slender skiff]

Right

[pallid osprey]

I like this one

The most

[slender skiff]

I was gonna find that video

[pallid osprey]

Bunny outfit

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/DXYOiGZ3da8

Just as a reminder

Shizue has the same VA as Hayasaka

[echo quiver]

when the lord of your nation dresses up in public like a men's club waitress

[slender skiff]

[queen walrus]

Maid rimuru and maid ruminas

[echo quiver]

dont get my hopes up. she looked so carnated

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/Tu66z6_tc_s

[echo quiver]

then i saw slime diaries

[pallid osprey]

Yo Ender

Quick question

[slender skiff]

https://youtu.be/IbDmdxnJLhs

My favourite moment of slime diaries

[pallid osprey]

If Milim and Vedora fight seriously, who win?

[slender skiff]

Hard to say

[queen walrus]

Veldora

[echo quiver]

you can ship any monsters together if you make them look 90% human

[queen walrus]

[echo quiver]

veldora is much older, no?

[queen walrus]

Veldora killing arts ftw

[slender skiff]

Veldora is much older

But you must remember

Veldora doesn't have much in the way of technique

[solid nebula]

Meanwhile Shizue's ghost checking out Rimuru's town and seeing Rimuru use her body like that
F Shizue

[slender skiff]

He just rampages

[queen walrus]

Just a shit ton of mana

[echo quiver]

are you implying milim is different

[queen walrus]

Or magicules

[echo quiver]

milim

[stable herald]

What teh fuck, this is soo hot. Yuri

[slender skiff]

Milim actually trains

[solid nebula]

I oughta stop making waifus out of dead people

[echo quiver]

the dragon of disaster. or something. im sure she has some unflattering title

[slender skiff]

Veldora doesn't

[slender skiff]

"Tyrant"

That's her official title

Tyrant Milim Nava

[stable herald]

how bout veldora's sister?

[slender skiff]

It should also be noted

Milim is an awakened demon lord

[queen walrus]

Wait does rimuru have a title in the LN?

[echo quiver]

ug

uh

[slender skiff]

Early on its "Newbie"

[queen walrus]

He has one in the WN but i dont remember in the ln

[echo quiver]

veldora is also awakened
||to the power of manga||

[stable herald]

Queen Slime

[queen walrus]

Ah still the newbie huh

[slender skiff]

I believe it changes later

[stable herald]

Slime empress sounds good too

[queen walrus]

In the WN iirc he's called the Chaos lord? Chaos king?

[echo quiver]

there is no one more woke than veldora

[stable herald]

Universal slime of chaos

[queen walrus]

Something related to chaos

[pallid osprey]

True demond slime

[slender skiff]

In Japanese it's rising star

Rather than newbie

[slender skiff]

Forgot honestly

[echo quiver]

humans: "i wonder what unfathomable evils the demon lords are committing today."
milim:

[pallid osprey]

https://tenor.com/view/adam-vs-zeus-shuumatsu-no-gif-19459091

[slender skiff]

||adult ramiris when||

[echo quiver]

i love this series. they're all dorks

[pallid osprey]

Have anyone watxh this anime?

[queen walrus]

10 centuries

[slender skiff]

Actually yeah it is a thousand years isn't it

She herself says that

[pallid osprey]

Nah, I need adult Cloe

[queen walrus]

Zamn rimuru - ||Ultimate Slime (Viscous Dragonic-Demonic Star God Body).||

[slender skiff]

Very creative

[echo quiver]

no one can remember that

[slender skiff]

It's basically ||dragon slime||

[pallid osprey]

Have they ever show Veldanava in the show?

[slender skiff]

He's dead

[queen walrus]

|| 5th true dragon btw||

[slender skiff]

[echo quiver]

wuh

spoilers

my poor veldanava

[slender skiff]

Veldanava being dead is not a spoiler

[echo quiver]

... wait, who

[queen walrus]

Ye

[slender skiff]

Veldora reveals as much

Very early on

He says milim was his dead brother's only child

[echo quiver]

i was being facetious. i dunno who that is

[slender skiff]

The only thing to contest is how "dead" he is

[queen walrus]

The creator

God

Bananas

[slender skiff]

Veldanava is as mentioned

The first of the true dragons

[queen walrus]

And God

[slender skiff]

And milim's dad

[echo quiver]

wuh

[slender skiff]

Who also happens to have the powers of creation yes

[echo quiver]

no one mentioned this. we just got a vague fairy tale backstory

[slender skiff]

It's revealed as much in milim's backstory

When Elen tells the story about how Milim became the demon lord

[echo quiver]

[slender skiff]

She mentions how her dad was the one that gave her the dragon

[queen walrus]

Still waiting for vol20

[pallid osprey]

Wait Ender

Is it illegal to post Shion booba here?

[slender skiff]

Yami

[queen walrus]

Depends on how exposed they are

[slender skiff]

^

[queen walrus]

[echo quiver]

but... they're always... yknow...

[pallid osprey]

It just anime cut scene

[slender skiff]

You're asking a question about as specific as "when will overlord s5 come out"

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

Shion's boobs have only grown larger from s1

[queen walrus]

[slender skiff]

They're way more exaggerated in s2

That or she's exposing way more cleavage

[echo quiver]

i wouldn't know. i dont look that low. unless they're where subtitles are

[slender skiff]

I mean

[echo quiver]

[queen walrus]

That scene on s1 where rimuru talks to the kijins after the orc lord fight

[slender skiff]

I don't typically look that low either

But that's how obvious it is

I actually disliked it

[pallid osprey]

Wait

[slender skiff]

She's not a slut or anything

[pallid osprey]

Lemme guess

[slender skiff]

It doesn't fit her character

And it's not like she's raiden shogun pulling out her sword from her cleavage

[queen walrus]

[echo quiver]

i only assume she dresses like that to fit the secretary persona

[slender skiff]

Yes

That's correct

[echo quiver]

and to attract gelatinous lifeforms

[queen walrus]

Yami writing a paragraph or an essay?

[echo quiver]

maybe they on mobile

typing hard with one finger

other 9 for eating dinner

[queen walrus]

Relatable

But I only use 5 fingers when I eat

[pallid osprey]

||Leon use to travel with Cloe, some how they lost. He try to summon Cloe, but end up summoned Shizue. But Cloe like Rimuru, so how Leon gonna act when he know this? ||

[stable herald]

HAHAHAHAHAAAAA FUCK YOU Mama

[pallid osprey]

@slender skiff

Explain

[slender skiff]

Uh

It should be fairly obvious

[queen walrus]

Leon is

Very

Protective of chloe

[slender skiff]

He becomes a joke whenever Chloe is around

[queen walrus]

Overprotective

[slender skiff]

Chloe sees him nothing more than a childhood friend

[queen walrus]

Pain peko

[pallid osprey]

But he summon Shizue

[queen walrus]

And?

[slender skiff]

Leon is yes, very overprotective, even jealous at times

[pallid osprey]

Which is chloe teacher

[slender skiff]

I'll be honest

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

The whole thing with Shizue Chloe and Hinata

[pallid osprey]

That doesnt make any sense

[queen walrus]

Time travel man

[pallid osprey]

[slender skiff]

Is extremely confusing

[queen walrus]

Fucking up with everything

[slender skiff]

There's a lot of time travel shenanigans involved

And if I wanted to explain it I'd seriously need a whole chapter to

[queen walrus]

Idk what happened in the original loop

[slender skiff]

The LN required more than 1 chap

[queen walrus]

All I know is that ||rimuru dies||

[slender skiff]

Or he did at least

It's really confusing

If you want to know the specifics

[pallid osprey]

And some one said to me Chloe is like Docter Strange, she have to repeat a lot of history to find the root that Rimuru not dead

[slender skiff]

Volume 11

[pallid osprey]

[queen walrus]

Ye

[pallid osprey]

Oh love

[slender skiff]

Fairly accurate yes

[queen walrus]

They're gonna deal with ||ivarage|| on vol20 huh

[stable herald]

Rising of the shield hero is so good

[silver robin]

@slender skiff

ender and i have a love hate relationship with the show if that makes sense

[plain garden]

Just watched episode 9 and 10 since I didn’t have time before, gonna watch 11 and yeah making me want to read the manga now

[silver robin]

manga isn't that far ahead of the anime pretty sure

[plain garden]

Really

[silver robin]

iirc yeah

[plain garden]

It’s still ongoing or has it ended?

[silver robin]

ongoing

[plain garden]

Ah

Was gonna avoid searching that up in case of spoilers

[silver robin]

well manga is probably ahead if you look at JP version

[plain garden]

Because you know how the search engines like putting the word death after you search up things about anime

[silver robin]

but EN translated version isn't up there yet pretty sure

[plain garden]

[silver robin]

yeahj

actually

anime rn is already ahead of official eng manga release

[plain garden]

Boooo

[silver robin]

it just passed it like this week or last week

lol

you caught up right

with anime

[plain garden]

Translate it Sam

[silver robin]

no

i can't legally do that

in any case this is the latest eng translated manga volume

and as you can see from the chapter titles

its literally what just happened in the anime

[plain garden]

Wait it is

Lmao

[silver robin]

see told you

[stable herald]

"Mom, i was reincarnated ever since i got to this world as your newborn child"

"Oh So All This Time you've been lying to us about being our child??!!"

im crying not becuz the drama, its becuz the stupid logic they parents using here

Mate what the fuck

[warm cobalt]

she thought Arthur was but a newborn soul

but turns out to be a middle aged man

[stable herald]

"Oh no, my laboured child that turns out to be a reincarnated king that actually sincerely live his life having a loving parents is not our son and is making bullshit all this time"

[warm cobalt]

told ya

this isekai logic is bullshit

[stable herald]

exactly

unlike this certain isekai manga i've read, when he told about the reincarnation to his gramp and grandma, both of them sorted out their feelings properly and still accepted him as he were

[warm cobalt]

not his parent

[stable herald]

yeah i said gramp and grandma, you can guess which manga

[warm cobalt]

kenja no bullshit

[stable herald]

i forgot thr manga name, but the grandparent found mc in a forest

[stable herald]

ahh yes this

[warm cobalt]

just found yes

not gave birth to

[stable herald]

but the sincere love from little made them still loves each other after the truth

not like this bullshit

[warm cobalt]

tell me one title
where the mc reveals that he/she actually is a reincarnator to their parents

[stable herald]

Arthur is even their blood related borned child

[stable herald]

There this one i forgot the name too

its not he revealed it, the parents realized it themself

and told mc right before he'll tell the truth

[echo quiver]

uh

whats his name

demon academy

ran around announcing to everyone they were the reincarnated demon lord

[silver robin]

theres a couple demon academy shows

including one this season

[echo quiver]

the one people tolerate the most

konichiwa. ard-des

but yeah, the misfit one

[silver robin]

oh

Yeah that one was alright

[grizzled acorn]

nah thats fucked up

ive read that series, i feel bad for the parents honestly

doesnt matter if they raised Arthur, hes just a fake, he isnt their actual child, he took their son from them

[solid nebula]

"Man, how the fuck could I love my child after finding out I actually took care of a middle aged man"
The reincarnated in question: ".... Yo what the fuck"

[grizzled acorn]

honestly isekais like that is just brood parasitism lets be honest here.

[echo quiver]

it's kind of weird tho

and there's always the question of what happened to the non reincarnated version

[solid nebula]

Usually it involves the two personalities like merging

But that's rarely seen

Would love to see an Isekai manga where 2 personalities merge together and they more or less work together in a sense

[echo quiver]

ooo

uh

this one, sort of

not really isekai

but reincarnation

and one consciousness is kinda sleepy or... hiding. or something

there's also another one where the other consciousness is literally hiding and occasionally helps out, but it's not as good imo

[solid nebula]

You mean rewriting the villaness?

[echo quiver]

or maybe it's a metaphor. idk. dreamscapes are weird

uhhhhh

idk. i didnt like it so i dun remember

the one with the nerd

[solid nebula]

Let me guess

The villaness of her story was thrown into the author's vody

And the author retreated into some mindscape thing to hide

[echo quiver]

i cant tell you if you're right or not- oh, yeah, that sounds familiar

yes

i gave up that one quickly lol

[solid nebula]

Rewriting the villaness

[echo quiver]

cant take screenshot due to security policy

it's a comic anyone can read for free. who am i gonna sell this to

i actually do know why it exists, but i still want to bully webtoon

wait, no, it let me take a screenshot of the other screen

yeah, they just being silly now

[solid nebula]

You can

Top right, 3 dots

Screenshot button

[echo quiver]

why is this a thing

why

[slender skiff]

And this is why I hate s2

It somehow rushed content even more than s1

You don't just
Cover like 5 volumes in 1 season

[plain garden]

[silver robin]

yeah standard pacing is 6 LN volumes over 2 seasons

[plain garden]

Translate it sam

[silver robin]

i can't legally translate it

[plain garden]

Then illegally

[silver robin]

i already translate stuff in gray area i don't wanna dig deeper

[slender skiff]

The LN exists

[plain garden]

Oh yeah forgot

[slender skiff]

Stop being lazy and get to reading bakagi

[plain garden]

[slender skiff]

LN is chaotic af towards the end tho

[plain garden]

Ooh

[slender skiff]

Or rather

Towards where it is currently

https://youtu.be/ot5BvhjIstk

We're getting a lot of hayasakaraoke moments aren't we

[faint crag]

One day I'll read and re-read Shield hero just to write an essay on why it fucking sucks

tho just first 3 volumes or whenever I stopped should be enough tbh

[sonic ferry]

laughs in Date a Live

[grizzled acorn]

Unfathomably based

[slender skiff]

DAL and danmachi both did that honestly

But there's rushing

And then there's insulting the intelligence of the LN/manga reader (Shield hero)

[slender skiff]

Been there done that

It ain't hard

[faint crag]

Now I'm curious

[slender skiff]

I need to write an essay on why the ending of hatamaou sucks

Honestly shield hero first 2-3 volumes are probably its strongest imo

There is quite the gap from the anime tho

Quality begins to decline after he's been delcared innocent

And quality just begins to decline relatively quickly after what's probably going to be covered in s3

Then after that it just shits itself

After he deals with Takt or whatever his name is

Trash no.3 in Naofumi's words

It becomes extremely confusing after the 15th volume

Even as a WN reader I'm like

Huh

(there's currently like 28 volumes in JP)

[faint crag]

I mean it's kinda done after the story unironically goes "actually owning slaves is based, if you're just kinda being nice to them and groom them"

[slender skiff]

Don't worry
They get freed from slavery!

I don't take as much an issue with that as I should

[faint crag]

It's just sorta indicative that the whole "morally gray hero who's forced into doing questionable things" turned into "objectively good person who's wronged by the entire world"

(He's still doing questionable things, the story just doesn't question them)

Which just turns the whole story into "edgy fantasy adventure" instead of something cool and interesting for me

[faint crag]

Wasn't Index S3 actually worse?

I forgot how much they crammed

[slender skiff]

10 in 26 eps

It's actually the same

Danmachi S1 was 5 in the 13 eps

DAL 4 looks to be the same

[sonic ferry]

Dunno if you’re watching DaL season 4 but like

we’re about to end the season halfway through an arc lmao

at least it’s not like last season where they just speedran an entire LN volume in the last episode

[slender skiff]

Halfway thru Kurumi's?

I haven't read the LN in literally years

Can't remember where is what anymore

[sonic ferry]

I think they’re gonna end right after ||phantom’s identity gets revealed||

Like yesterday’s episode was the big flashback with Kurumi, and next week’s is the finale

[grizzled acorn]

I always plan on writing college thesis length essays on why some anime suck and why some are awesome, map out the entire thing in my head, but i never write em

[slender skiff]

Cue the s5 announcement or a movie

[slender skiff]

I rather just say it out honestly

[grizzled acorn]

Ive had to a few times

It took me 30 minutes to explain to someone why sao progressive was good and why they shouldnt criticize it for being sao

[silver robin]

sao as a whole is pretty solid

not amazing but not deserving of all the hate

[grizzled acorn]

Its got ups and downs.

[silver robin]

Like most anime

[grizzled acorn]

Yeah but its more drastic than most

[silver robin]

[grizzled acorn]

Sao has pretty good peaks, like maybe 7-8/10 shit going on, then like 2/10 arcs that make me want to never watch it again

[sonic ferry]

I always feel like SAO should’ve given Aincrad a bit more time to shine, instead of speedrunning over to the alfheim arc

[grizzled acorn]

Thats what progressive does

Its dedicating like a volume per floor

[silver robin]

Progressive does like a volume per floor ye

They never gonna adapt all of it at the current rate of one movie per volume though

[grizzled acorn]

Ive been saying "they need to flesh out the whole thing, show floor by floor and itll be good" for years, then i learned the man actually did it

[silver robin]

[silver robin]

yeah that's true

[sonic ferry]

Yeah SAO like

gives you an interesting premise

[grizzled acorn]

They never gonna adapt it canonically either, the movie introduced a character that was never in the light novel, and completely alters character dynamics and plot points

[silver robin]

thats true

[sonic ferry]

then spends like 10 episodes giving a very episodic view of it all, making character development feel real disjointed

then goes “anyway onto the next game”

[grizzled acorn]

That was dumb

The pacing for the first two episodes was good, exactly what i wanted

Then they said, no, 23rd floor

[silver robin]

yep

Idk what reki was thinking

[sonic ferry]

don’t get me wrong, it was one of the first anime I ever watch and therefore it holds a special place in my heart, but damn a lot of its problems could’ve been solved by spending more time in Aincrad

[silver robin]

He literally did all of aincrad

In 1 volume

[grizzled acorn]

I understand why the original work was done that way, its cause the story needed to be completed because it was for a writing competition

[silver robin]

1 LN VOLUME

[sonic ferry]

Wait really

[silver robin]

Volume 2 has the 3 side stories

[sonic ferry]

1 volume for what’s supposed to be 2 years

Lmao

[grizzled acorn]

Yeah he said that in volume 1/2 of the progressive light novel in the afterword

That it was rushed cause it had to be condensed for the competition, and he always wanted to go floor by floor

[sonic ferry]

Like I get that the guy wrote all the way through Alicization in the web novel

but Reki my brother in Christ you don’t have to skip through it all

[silver robin]

yeah sao volume tldr is
Volume 1 aincrad
Volume 2 aincrad side stories
Volume 3-4 alfheim
Volume 5-6 gun gale
Volume 7 mothers rosario
Volume 8 more filler side story stuff
Volume 9-18 alicization
Volume 19-20 alicization side story filler stuff
...
more arcs and stuff

[grizzled acorn]

Alicization kinda clutches up. Sao for me was piss poor after aincrad, slightly redeemed in gungale but terrible in every other short arc

[silver robin]

Yeah the short filler arcs are not good

[grizzled acorn]

Yeah they suck

[silver robin]

Then of major arcs alfheim was bad, rest were alright, to great at times

[grizzled acorn]

Like the ragnarok one where kirito had to get the awesome gamer sword and the one with Yuuki

Did not like those arcs

[sonic ferry]

The series’ problem is that it blew through its original premise and then tries to recapture that same spirit every subsequent arc

[grizzled acorn]

Yup

[silver robin]

Funnily enough

If you want minor spoiler

[grizzled acorn]

Alicization tho, mad fuck with. Until war on underworld, where i dropped it to never pick it back up

[silver robin]

||major arc after alicization has a similar concept of die in game = all progress lost forever||

so yeah theres that

[grizzled acorn]

Hey if it works it works

[sonic ferry]

loved Alicization tho because I liked how Kirito and Eugeo played off each other

[grizzled acorn]

Eugeo is the man

[silver robin]

Yeah second half is def weaker than first half but its still alright

[grizzled acorn]

And the pacing for alicization wasnt absolutely botched, so theres that

[sonic ferry]

tfw because time fuckery Kirito basically spent more time in Underworld than the actual SAO

[silver robin]

they did 9 ln volumes in 48 eps

[grizzled acorn]

Yeah after ||they beat admin|| it wasnt bad, but some things happened that just pissed me off and i dropped it on war of underworld season 1

[silver robin]

he spent more time in the underworld than ||his entire life multiplied by 10|| if you think about it

[sonic ferry]

Didn’t the war of underworld anime have an original ending or something

Or like an original scene or something

[silver robin]

Na pretty sure it had same ending

yeah it had original scene

Cause they tied ordinal scale to it a bit

[grizzled acorn]

They need to piss off with the anime original content

[sonic ferry]

I remember reading somewhere that like

[silver robin]

When in the LN ordinal scale was just a whole side story thingy

[sonic ferry]

When they log back in, that scene is different in the LN

[grizzled acorn]

I was so mad when i learned that the sao progressive movie wasnt canon, and actively decreased the quality of the original work with the shit they were adding

[silver robin]

[grizzled acorn]

Not everyones gonna read the LN, and those movies were supposed to be what redeemed the franchise and finally fleshed out Aincrad, but no

[silver robin]

Movie was alright

[grizzled acorn]

Yeah but it was worse, imo

[silver robin]

Its been a hot minute since ive read progressive LNs though

last time i read them was like 4-5 years ago

[grizzled acorn]

I forgot her name, the purple hair girl

[silver robin]

just google it

[grizzled acorn]

Shes a good character, i dont mind her, but she just... doesnt fit in with the story and character dynamics

[silver robin]

i forgot too

yeah

Like they wanted something to flesh out asunas backstory more i get that, but adding this whole new character probably wasnt the way to go about it

[grizzled acorn]

Yeah in the LN i feel like Asuna's whole backstory and initial character arc were good

[silver robin]

After google her name is mito

[grizzled acorn]

From all the sao anime, i just felt that Asuna was a mediocre white bread waifu, and that she and kirito had that whole romance thing after talking like 3 times

[silver robin]

Yeah from just sao anime i agree

[grizzled acorn]

But she has development at the beginning of aincrad we never got to see, and Mito as a character retcons why she originally got on the game, half of her relationship with kirito, and the fact that she was supposed to be a complete loner type of character before meeting kirito

Thats enough of a tangent on the movie though

[silver robin]

ye

[sonic ferry]

I love how Alicization’s plot is to do with trying to create AI via games

meanwhile like

Yui’s been around since s1

[silver robin]

[grizzled acorn]

Kizmels been around since volume 2

Only real gangsters get the reference

Imma start a war. Who is best girl, and who is worst girl

[silver robin]

in what, sao?

[grizzled acorn]

Yeah

[silver robin]

that's tough

i think i gotta go with asuna though

[grizzled acorn]

And who's worst girl?

[silver robin]

between liz or silica i cant decide, but both are not good

[grizzled acorn]

🤝 🍞

[silver robin]

Id say liz is slightly worse out of the two

[grizzled acorn]

My man

[silver robin]

mainly cause at least silica has the cute dragon

[grizzled acorn]

We hate lisbeth in this household

[silver robin]

Liz is just annoying lol

or lis rather yeah same diff

[grizzled acorn]

Silica is better for three reasons, the awesome dragon, shes honestly not even in the competition because shes a child, and her arc was better

Led to something cool happening

[silver robin]

yeah

[grizzled acorn]

We agree on worst girl, but im afraid best girl for me is not Asuna

Im an Argo the Rat kinda guy

[silver robin]

Tfw

Out of all the major sao characters to get their own wikipedia pages

Its kirito, asuna (obviously), then leafa out of all people

[grizzled acorn]

People really like Leafa, for some reason

[silver robin]

sinon has one as well for whatever reason

anyways

[grizzled acorn]

Sinon is second best girl

[silver robin]

yeah same for me

But whos your first then?

Oh

Nvm i just saw it

[silver robin]

Thats interesting

almost forgot she existed until you mentioned her

[grizzled acorn]

Actually Asuna might overtake Sinon, progressive is carrying rn

[slender skiff]

Controversial opinion

Best girl is Alice

[grizzled acorn]

Argo is awesome, the title of "rat" is absolutely baller

[slender skiff]

🚪 🚶‍♂️

[grizzled acorn]

I was gonna show you the door but it looks like you found it

[silver robin]

Shoo, wrong opinions are not allowed here

[slender skiff]

Shino > Alice >>> everyone else for me

[silver robin]

shino? You mean sinon or is shino someone who im blanking on

[slender skiff]

Shino is sinon's real name

[silver robin]

oh

[grizzled acorn]

Alice honestly doesnt deserve the hate she gets, shes solid, she does some stuff where im like, yeah, i like this character, but not enough

[silver robin]

same

[grizzled acorn]

Unlike Argo the Rat, the correct opinion

[slender skiff]

People just can't get over the fact she can't get the memo about Asuna

[grizzled acorn]

Thats part of why i slightly dislike her

[slender skiff]

It might be because Kirito doesn't have the balls to tell her

[grizzled acorn]

If Asuna wasnt established waifu and Alice had a chance, based on anime alone id like her more

Kirito is in a wheelchair or something man

[silver robin]

yeah

[slender skiff]

I never found Asuna all that good

Ever

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Well written character

Never really liked or hated her

That's my stance

[silver robin]

fair enough i guess

[grizzled acorn]

Thats my stance on Alice

Im a tsundere fan, but even im not an Asuna simp so maybe she is doing something wrong

[silver robin]

Asuna was never really a tsun though

[grizzled acorn]

Shes classified as one a lot

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Incorrectly

But yes

[silver robin]

Yeah

Asuna isnt a tsun

Tsuns are generally more open about being a tsun, like you can instantly tell tsun from not tsun

[grizzled acorn]

Im not a tsunderologist man, people called her one and i gave a cool thumbsup and said ok

I should trademark that term

[subtle kayak]

asuna is mid tbh
