ok nvm novel readers say manga is better and manga reader say anime is better. guess i just watch it
azure ravine
i don't read manga 
while everyone reads 20+ mangas, im stuck with a single novel for more than a year
think i've only read and finished 1 manga. was good, but don't remember the name been a long time.
i just hate how it is read and sometimes the images are so packed/busy i just cannot see what is happening

||The best part is Cid is still thinking everyone in Shadow Garden is just role-playing||

This episode adapts Chapter 31 and 32 of the manga
azure ravine
think after another 3 episodes everything might be new to me starting then since it is different
rustic lynx
And maybe Chapter 33, might have to reread it to be sure
Oh kind of, only the first pages of Chapter 33 made it
At least that means more Yukime next episode 
azure ravine
||> but the main divergence in the main plot is definitely after the John Smith arc.|| think that should be pretty soon whatever it is.
rustic lynx
||The John Smith arc might take 3-4 episodes depending on how deep they go into Yukime's character background||
Or they cram the entire thing in 2 episodes and call it a day
azure ravine
lol
i dont remember anything from this part onwards tbh. didn't really get my intrest much

man manhwa really been runnin into the same issue with anime isekais
it's just all these power fantasy stories
was silly of me to think that people would get sick of them eventually
azure ravine
am also reading an isekai. never get bored of them
normal hare
I don't really mind isekais at the root of it, writers just aren't doing anything interesting with it
very lazy writing imo
calm frigate
isekai / rebirth stuff / climbing towers / murim
which mostly falls into revenge or knowing what will happen in the future
normal hare
I've just been watching anime/reading manga for such a long time that I've reached a point where I don't really want to pick things up if the story isn't captivating
the appeal in these power fantasy shows is that they're easy to digest, formulaic, and u kinda just turn ur brain off and enjoy the fun
used to be big into it when I was really younger

King of the Octagon

MC Brother getting his ass beat
He jumps and throws hands
The rest are just fantasy
So im trying to avoid that
Seems you got tired of it
so why recommend that
normal hare
it's not to say I don't enjoy fantasy
I just don't enjoy a lot of their takes on the genre
feel like there's so much more to explore
and the majority of the times we kinda get the same structure
which I've read more than my fair share of
gritty burrow
I get it, just depends what ingredients they use for it
I always laugh about the manhuas
normal hare
yeah there are still some that definitely can do it well
always got an appetite for a good ol power fantasy
gritty burrow
I just stick to the premise and go from there
Hate the overpowered douche MC
I like MC's that struggle
normal hare
yeah cause it's definitely more relatable
gritty burrow
the true emboidment of the human spirit

the second coming of gluttony was one ln that really did that well
his character development and power growth hapened gradually over time
he was strong
but there were definitely a lot of dudes out there
who were badder than him

also am a big fan of great world building
makes the story feel so much more whole
and actually give me a reason to care about the world besides the main character
gritty burrow
Cant recall if I read anything like that

The last thing I remember watching was part 2 of the final season

Finding out that part 2 wasn't the end kinda was a turnoff for me so I lost interest but hey maybe it was a great idea after all
Will head in soon

It’s all good
Honestly
Both should’ve been a theatrical release
Kind of surprised Mappa didn’t commit to that. Glad they didn’t though, cuz I would’ve waited like 6 months or something to watch it
dull drum
i feel like whatever the ending was, people would have never been satisfyed because it's been so long

rather than just so long, it's just been so consistently masterful for so long
hard to live up to that hype cause people are always expecting more and more
normal hare
yeah can confirm

wish they just made 2 seasons that had 24 ep and waited longer

the first time they announced part 2
i was a bit bummed out
but it was so freaking good so I was cool
then it turns out part 2 of the finale ain't the finale
that's when it got to me

i think waiting more would have also improved the animation quality, cause i remember there was a part where the cgi was very obvious 💀
poor animators had no time to breathe
normal hare
yep

I wouldn't have minded waiting cause we'd been consistently getting new seasons of aot ever since 2017
waiting a year or 2 wouldn't have been that bad

But if you haven’t watched it yet. I’ll just say that the animation did not disappoint. They really did a great job, that wait was worth it

togashi's health is still up in the air and i have no idea how fast the series will progress atp
inland talon
In my mind, the series has ended. Gon already saw his father, which was the goal of the series
Now the rest are subplots. To a extensive universe
normal hare
I guess you could look at it that way, to me him meeting his dad never meant much to me
it was sort of an "end goal" but I was always more interested in what would happen in between
so even though he's already met him, there's still a lot more excitement i have left from the show
a lot of unanswered questions
might be a hot take but i feel like the series hasn't reached its fullest potential yet
especially since for me the chimera ant arc was a bit of a letdown
inland talon
might be a hot take but i feel like the series hasn't reached its fullest potent...
Agreed there, but considering togashi’s health. I’m just happy with what we’ve got
Hxh was my favourite anime
Attack on titan just beat that tho lol
normal hare
hard to say what my definitive favorite anime of all time because it's so genre dependent
but in terms of shounen
it's definitely up there right behind one piece
normal hare
ah yeah i guess haikyuu would be my pick for favorite
completely forgot about that lmao
but we'll have to see how the movies stick the landing
cause all seasons so far have been magical
i think it's also kinda difficult to comapre one piece to any show just cause of its sheer size
kinda in a class of its own
inland talon
I think atm it’s AoT, hxh, and haikyuu
Wait I completely forgot about Vinland saga omg
But I just can’t put it there yet. Because it hasn’t ended.
inland talon
cause all seasons so far have been magical
Wait they’re making a haikyuu movie???!!! No wonder why it’s been so long. I’ve been waiting for the next season since forever more
normal hare
yeah they announced it like last year

Omg the last season was at 2020
inland talon
gonna be two final movies
Makes sense

Then maybe it was intentional, and was taking some creative liberality . I know a bunch of directors and animators are working on this season, even just voluntarily. It’s an all star cast. I noticed the choppy square art from that one director. I forgot his name but he was the one who directed naruto vs pain & Deku vs Todoroki
low widget
I really doubt it, the scene I was talking about is clearly just unfinished, it has no lighting and it's not cleaned up and polished to the same level as the scenes during the same fight
It's definitely a nitpick tho and doesn't bring it down overall, I'm just using it as an example of how the people who work on these are very constrained in budget and time
The rest of the animation during the episode is what reminds me of devilman, it's simpler on style overall but it's very deliberate with how it uses movement specially during the fight scenes
Some also extended and had new stuff that wasn't manga so that's great to see, they're doing an amazing job overall
I do like the style and animation this season more than the first one but in some moments it's just clear they had some issues
Which is fine

verdict of using tachidesk after a nearly one month of daily use for reading.
library good and simple, you can make loads of categories to curate your own reading sections
updates is a bit bugged. sometimes some mangas would show up in the latest mangas but there would be no latest mangas and i have to go to the extension's own website just to read the latest.
sources or the extensions. could be a hit or miss depends on the extension. i only use comick. so i cant say anything about it but the upload speed of their mangas is pretty fast
good for finding new mangas if you're totally adventurous and can just read a new manga everyday.
so far so good, it really just depends on the extensions you're using to make the experience of using tachidesk to be pleasant. but then huge W in tachidesk for having all of the exntensions.

They were literally just complaining about how there’s like a final season part 1 of part 2 and all that and it ruined the enjoyment

which is by no means a problem with the story

True

Yeah ngl it being all separated in multiple parts that don't even have a consistent release just ruins the momentum the anime had, and naming the 4th season "final season" and then having "final season part 2" and then having these two last parts over 2 years later being the actual final is a pretty bad move and naming scheme too to be fair lol
You don't call something the final season and then have it not be the ending

Surprised I’m actually saying this. But I’m disappointed that they didn’t make into a movie. I completely thought they would
And I think watching this would’ve been a great movie experience
low widget
they wanted to rush and capitalize on the manga finale coming out to drive hype up and it kinda fucked everything lol
iirc the first three seasons are like, half the manga
calling the fourth one "final season" just to line up with the manga when there's still 2-3 seasons worth of content for them to go through is just a bad decision, a movie for these last 2 parts would've probably been better than the 2 part release but 🤷 dunno
kinda doomed to be weird no matter what they did because of the "final season" decision
dull drum

As much as I don’t want a movie for an arc, cuz I just don’t wanna wait 2 months for an English sub to come out and another 4 months for it to have an eng dub theatrical release.
It’s still wayyyy better than splitting seasons into parts, especially if the material doesn’t have that much to split from.
And especially if I have to wait 2-3 years for the next parts to come out
That’s why jjk is the goat man. They just don’t do the bullshit. They just get straight tot he point
Even if season 2 was technically split into parts, part 1 is a completely different story and arc. And the wait wasn’t that long anyways

It definitely ended in weird way tho

Missing 6
Should be finished by dec 28 unless they delay stuff

Oh yeah they doing everything bro.
azure ravine
what, it was huge. everyone was watching it

I was one of the few that actually enjoyed it
I mean out of all animated manhwas/webtoons it’s probably the best. But nothing really happened. Which is fair cuz the webtoon is a slow burner
normal hare
Season 1 is supposed to be a setup for everything
inland talon
what, it was huge. everyone was watching it
It was mostly already TOG fans. I don’t think it gained any new fans. I think the problem is that it’s been too long. They should’ve done the deacons season sooner
normal hare
Not really, I knew plenty of casuals who picked the show up
Now liking it
That's a different story
azure ravine
it was 1 of the better shows that season def not just tog fans, but yes. like i did already say. it is surprising that it has taken them so long for s2
inland talon
Cuz I haven't seen ||nobara's "death" and Todo losing one of his arms|| yet
Gonna rant about jjk. I don’t understand why fans are just letting this go. Like last episode definitely lacked the same quality as the previous episodes, and it’s CLEAR. I think people were more impressed with the action cuz it had great key animations. But the details and the obvious mistake with Yuji’s scene. Like I don’t want to watch something half assed, when you know it could be better.
inland talon
I’m the only one that’s talking about it. I didn’t know why nobody is talking about it
inland talon
It’s this scene
normal hare
Haven't watched it yet
inland talon
Watch it again
It’s supposed to be still Sukuna but instead they showed a scene of yuji
ebon thunder
the other scenes maybe i get but if u dig deeper into the scene
inland talon
I saw some reaction videos and was confused about it too. But they all seem to have glossed over it
ebon thunder
just understand that this episode was 30% of the intended vision
inland talon
just understand that this episode was **30%** of the intended vision
If it was, they probably had a different cut for this. But they used the same cut for these scene
People are saying it’s Yuji watching from the inside. But Sukuna is still inside the circle of destruction, but at that scene it’s Yuji outside the circle. And then they finally used that scene when Yuji took control of his body again. This was a cutting mistake. Or they had a cut that wasn’t finished yet so they used the same one for this scene
ebon thunder
eh w/e
let's just see if we're gonna get an episode next week or not
if not, then good let them rest tbh
inland talon
I hope not
All I’m saying is that letting this episode slide with obvious flaws. When the animators didn’t want to release this episode yet. I’m glad we are giving props to the animation and complimenting the animators. But not talking about the obvious mistakes and not giving criticism. Shows Mappa that fans don’t care and want the episodes now. I’m scared that they’ll ruin some emotional scenes for the upcoming episodes
low widget
that wasn't completely "wrong" it's just a misreading of what happened on the manga
on the manga Akutami likes to often use the last panel(s) as cliffhanger and on this chapter he used Yuji's shocked face to set up for what'd happen :v
when they shouldn't have added that panel cause it breaks continuity
it's still wrong on the anime but there's a reason for it

Waiting for it to finish

Mappa is starting to look like the BBC of Kpop.
inland talon
For real though. These animators are angels. They’re not asking for more money, or more rights. They’re just asking for more time so they can deliver a better product. They legitimately care about the story and source material, and not an easy credit on their resume. These studios don’t even care about that, all they want is the money. So sad bro
low widget
Them actually caring and having the dream of contributing to their favorite animes is what makes them easily exploitable by these companies
Which sucks

There is a reason why Mappa wants to be KyoAni or Ufotable so bad but will never be like them

There is a reason why Mappa wants to be KyoAni or Ufotable so bad but will never...
Mappa is actually the worst. The fact that animators have to sign an NDA for the working conditions, not the actual anime itself. And just for the record, nda is not a thing in Japan, or I should say rarely used

Freiren is pretty nice and kinda interesting. it's slow and laid back, you're not rushed to like expect a big event like 2-4 episodes of big fight with monsters or something

Hi, I am some people
Yes you are
I have a free day tomorrow so i might do it then
I have a friend who loves Ave Mujica and kept recommending me Bandori
rustic lynx
Start with MyGo first before Ave
Or you can start from the main series, whatever suits you since the MCs from the main series just make small cameos here and there in MyGo and probably Ave
sullen pine
I thought MyGo was the first there is a main series?
rustic lynx
It's more like Season 4 but not really Season 4? If that makes any sense lol
rustic lynx
It's basically a spin-off that happens after the main series
small compass
Ave anime when ?
rustic lynx
But you don't need to watch the main series to understand the spin-off
If that makes sense
You just get some cameo but that's about it, just a little fanservice for people who did watch the main series
So you can go:
I still recommend watching the main series though, the groups there are pretty good and has banger songs, especially Roselia and Raise a Suilen
sullen pine
How many episodes

Hello happy world my fav
rustic lynx
Only 3 seasons so 39
The movies are separate entries entirely, not needed. Just more fan service for people who love the groups the movies feature
rustic lynx
But if you want to head straight for Ave Mujica story, I do think MyGo is a prerequisite because the upcoming Ave Mujica anime begins immediately after MyGo anime
MyGo Episode 13 is basically just a 24-minute Ave Mujica trailer

Anything I need to know about Bandori as someone who has no idea about it? (Only seen Love Live and Idolmaster as idol shows)

Bandori introduced me a lot of jpop artist kek
rustic lynx
After watching MyGo anime, I highly suggest listening to MyGo's songs over on Spotify. Or you can also listen first before watching 
sullen pine
Also a good idea
rustic lynx
Bandori groups (well most of them at least) are real band groups so I can enjoy their content long after the anime ends, same with Love Live
small compass
They do 
rustic lynx
There's a Bandori band for almost every genre (at least, the ones that I can tell)

Fire bird is really fire
sullen pine
Gonna check out you guys favorite songs

You want idol-y songs? Pastel Palletes
You want rock? Afterglow
You want... whatever Roselia does but damn they slap real hard

Musically wise Roselia is the best
sullen pine
I do want rock

Ras is good too

I think RaS is called Electronica? I'm not really that good at identifying music genres lol

How can forget about morfonica

Morfonica has the violin

Violin rock yeppy

Never thought I would see the violin be used in a rock group but here we are, and it fits so well
sullen pine
gonna listen to the music later then
i want the violin rock
if i become a bandori fan i will blame you all
rustic lynx
rustic lynx
It's pretty much like Love Live in terms of 3D animation, Bandori just fully commits to it
It's honestly pretty smooth and clean

the only bandori band i know is photon maiden
