Tell me more
gritty burrow
Which was doped but sucked they never explored it

Let me try to get pics of it
@rustic lynx so pretty much it was a vr of the manga,you can see the characters move and such and really made you feel it was there
I think at the time,it was like $30 for the episode(1st chapter)
VR Manga experience really has potential,especially given the right amount of resources and funding as well as support

well the drop off from back then isn't gonna be big
why do you think stuff like sao is still so popular
that's how they determine the popularity of these shows
normal hare
it isn't, but it's still incredibly popular
inland talon
Let’s take a moment and actually appreciate sao, cuz even if I knew as a 13 year old that this anime wasn’t that good. I still enjoyed it
Lmao, I think I was pressure to liking sao, hahaha
normal hare
sao was definitely a show filled with many flaws, but for what it was, it was the first of its kind back then
and got a lot of people into anime
inland talon
I mean it wasn’t bad. But I actually found the series boring. They said it’s cuz I wasn’t a gamer, but I was just not feeling the show
inland talon
and got a lot of people into anime
Exactly
normal hare
I don't think you really need to be a gamer
it's just a self insert power fantasy
where you get to be the strongest, coolest, and get all the girls
with a cool twist of dying in game means you die in real life

where you get to be the strongest, coolest, and get all the girls <:wonkekw:6545...

everyone tunes out

inland talon
I mean I actually dk
I think season 2 was pretty good as well
But I think people came out feeling…. Underwhelmed maybe?
normal hare
it was similar to aot in the sense where s1 was all hype and action, while s2 actually developed the world and characters
think people were just not ready for that difference
inland talon
I mean if we’re gonna compare, let’s say Vinland saga. Action packed season 1 and no action season 2 yet season 2 is well received. But the ending felt something
inland talon

Just like AoT, it took ages for season 2
Maybe that’s why
normal hare
also didn't help that it was during covid
so it got split in two parts
think s3 will be the real breaking point where we see if this buildup was worth it
which will probably be late this year or early next year
inland talon
Most likely yeah. Still taking ages though
normal hare
don't know why, we've had enough rem figures sold to give to every person on the planet
inland talon
Connor’s been talking about that
And thinking about yeah why is it taking so long lmao

Late to it but I remember guilty crown
(Also i am your non-local classic SAO hater)
Guilty Crown was messy but I honestly don't think it was as bad as everyone said
normal hare
it was a decent show
first half was good
then after he went edgy and stuff
all went downhill
normal hare
💀
also inori felt very
forgettable in the 2nd half
was just a damsel in distress
a shame
sullen pine
Ngl i completely forgot if she even had a backstory
normal hare
probably did but i can't remember
normal hare
yeah uh she was just there for the mc to save
she was really cool when they first introduced her
a lot of mystery behind her character
then it fell completely flat
sullen pine
||Her dying at the end also felt unnecessary||
sullen pine
then it fell completely flat
normal hare
yeah that ending 😭
sullen pine
That was also a general problem of the show, flat characters
normal hare
mhmm
very forgettable
barely remember any of them
https://youtu.be/Hv4znGv6lzg?si=LtpQbdxCnkPoBf3A music is still crazy though, so many good songs
also animation was beautiful

it's just such an anime of that era

almost caught up with shangri la frontier, and can finally say that the show is finally hitting for me
not to say that the first 10 episodes were bad or anything
definitely necessary setup
but now that we've got a grasp of the mechanics and the world, they're finally getting into the meat of it and god it's getting really good
azure ravine
so sad that the manga of shangri la is so slow 
actually it seems every manga i read has many weeks inbetween releases
normal hare
it isn't weekly?
azure ravine
last release was 28th of december
azure ravine
idk i read on tachi so idk if its just tachi being slow
and didnt start till anime started
tachi shows dates as follows from most recent to older
28/12 - 24/12 - 22/12 - 22/11
seems like since 22th of november it slowed down
normal hare
which source you using on tachi though
azure ravine
👀
am on mangadex (website) idk where to see the english version. see a brazilian and mexican one
ok kakalot site does just have the english one cool
normal hare
hmmm yeah it seems mangadex doesn't have it
i sometimes use mangafox and mangasee
those ones are updated
i usually just mix and match sources on tachi
azure ravine
so far ive only been using dex and kakalot. do got some other installed but havent touched
azure ravine
cool, gonna catchup to the anime version than read those 2 chapters i havent read yet 
only other manga i read is shadow in eminence.
friend suggested i read "player who can't level up" and "Omniscient reader's viewpoint"
might start with berserk first though. feels like a must read
normal hare
omniscient is pretty good
same flavor as solo leveling
hell the guy even looks like jin woo
only problem with berserk is that it's unfortunately never gonna finish god rest his soul
azure ravine
guess we know what the author has been up to prior to writing
azure ravine
only problem with berserk is that it's unfortunately never gonna finish god rest...
didn't the friend take over?
right was gonna wait for that till its done if that happens. omniscient it is then
normal hare
oh right there was that I guess, though I have doubts if the quality will remain
yeah omniscient should have plenty of chapters to read
azure ravine
yeah omniscient should have plenty of chapters to read
am still not used to how short mangas are. been reading the webnovel supreme magus last 3/4 months and am only at chapter 362 out of 2915

rustic lynx
normal hare
just had a thought about shounen anime, hate the type of characters who are just there to clean up all the weak bad guys and are actually useless when an actual strong opponent arrives
case in point all these dudes besides todo
and i guess mechamaru kinda
but they just show up every fight, get their 10 seconds of beating up on weak enemies
calm frigate
mechamaru is strong kinda but killed off early
but to me i think the purpose is just to show off the strength level of the main characters which should be higher than you initially saw them like showing off the other skills/spells they have that you never saw on earlier episodes
since you introduced the super strong legendary sorcerer in the first episode people watching will keep track/anticipate that eventually the final boss will appear and so they show that there's progress on the main character's strength
normal hare
I think it works initially, but as the story progresses and everyone gets so much stronger, i think it's important to give power ups and development to the side charas so that it gives us a reason to care about
calm frigate
they get discarded or maybe they come in as a surprise backup with power ups

austere skiff
i think splitting it into seasons killed the momentum a little bit
csm manga is at such a breakneck pace
maybe if theyd done the whole part jojo style it would be better
but likely thats just since i am a manga reader, and if there were more episodes i doubt the production quality would be as high as it was
having 12 eds is definitely overkill though
normal hare
having 12 eds is definitely overkill though
It was a very cool idea but it really wasn't necessary 💀

and that justifies the greed of that old guy wanting to pass the test

Yeah exactly
The reveal of the spell he chose was very nice too
So unexpected but perfectly makes sense
calm frigate
and the demon with an interesting story. not that he wanted to coexist but is just curious where it would go
sonic basin
i like the ||time travel bit|| after el dorado but felt out of place tbh
calm frigate
ah that was kinda fun too
sonic basin
it just opens up the possibility of reusing this over and over
calm frigate

And i dont want to see it abused

Isn’t as bad as people seem to say. I was pretty damn impressed with the last episode I just watched which was episode 6
Yes it lacks some stuff like Katara and Aang’s relationship, and other stuff. But I like what they did with the world, and how it looks

There's also takehito koyasu...
normal hare
yeah it's not as clear cut as the female seiyuus
teal crag
Male seiyuu work forever and just keep getting banger roles while the female ones slowly disappear, unfortunately.
Feels like there’s so many more women joining the industry each year too so it makes it harder for veterans to keep up
rustic lynx
It's probably the other way around
Studios and producers are more inclined to hire established VAs than new ones

I watched the first episode of Delicious In Dungeon on Netflix and I remember reading this back when it only has 10 chapters, I then devided to continue this series in the managa and wow, what a story it was. Man just want to eat and save his sister and it came with all of that lol.
Good story 
austere skiff
i did not expect the scale to be so huge wtf
normal hare
yeah they've got a bunch of artists hosting
it's cool
yoasobi will be performing later

the guests is huge anyway
the actual awards giving is less of a spectacle than last year
either way very cool
normal hare
yeah they had the actual vas and directors here last time
I forgot how annoying fans get just cause mainstream shows win
if there was any year for mainstream shows to win, I think it was this one
damn they even got lisa

Had me for a second
austere skiff
wait
so is demon slayer the underdog here
or like a reverse dark horse
its the big no1 everyone forgot about cause of the hot newbie
normal hare
Kinda, it was also the least well received season so far
Cause its kind of an interlude arc between the bigger arcs
normal hare
Uh should be, there's one small arc still to go before the finale
But I'm gonna assume they animate everything
Or maybe they just make a movie
Kinda the trend nowadays

the synopsis is being the absolute goat of fantasy anime

What’s the synopsis of it
details the story of an elf after the end of her hero's journey
basically a fantasy story ends when the demon king has been beaten
so this is about what happens after
which is a pretty fresh idea

Fun fact, can't even go and stream DB/DBZ legally anywhere. Crunchyroll went and bought the rights without ever bothering to actually upload even parts of the series

wow I wasn't too surprised initially when frieren took over fma
cause like it literally happens with every new hype show
before fma retaking that spot
but frieren is almost finished and is still 1st
might be witnessing history

don't remember what you're talking about but i dropped it after going to that route that i didn't expect.

I had not been liking the direction for awhile but was sticking with it just cause I was already so deep in

I only watched parts of the first episode. Are you guys saying it went to that route?
Like a dark creepy type of route??
normal hare
pretty much
it just got a bit too uncomfortable
which I guess is realistic for the idol industry
that's one of them
vale bloom
what really, good thing i dropped it before that lol
inland talon
which I guess is realistic for the idol industry
Ok, but can I ask is it related to the doctor?
Please don’t tell me he turns creepy
inland talon
I haven’t even finished episode 1 yet lol
normal hare
but don't recommend further in the manga
aside from it getting really weird
I just lost interest
think the 1st episode really carried a lot of the series
inland talon
Wait, I know I’m a bit late. And I’m sure you guys already had a field day with this. But have you guys watched the anime awards?
normal hare
yes
vale bloom
i think imma have to read it all just to remember what it really made me drop it lol
inland talon
I’ll stick to the anime then lol
normal hare
I think people were mad that it was a popularity award show
inland talon
I think Vinland Saga got robbed yo.
normal hare
but hey
what's new
I wouldn't say exactly robbed
I probably would've picked that to win
but honestly jjk s2 had an amazing run
it was in my top 3 last year
inland talon
True. I don’t think Vinland saga would’ve won the anime of the year. But at least one awards
inland talon
I was a fan of jjk, but I’ll be honest. It got too many awards that was just not deserved

it's tough when demon slayer, aot, and jjk have been dominating the past 5 years

I had a small little my hero phase back when I was a teenager
mainly peaked during the tournament arc

I think they fumbled the mafia arc
I stopped reading at that part

just kinda lost all interest

Like overhaul was a dope villain

like if I'm enjoying black clover over it, then you know something's up
ebon thunder
nothing was missing, slice of life was there

I remember reading parts of the manga and I think the anime just didn’t capture the type of hype the manga did for that arc

they just didn't really have any interesting characters to me imo

The most interesting character from that arc was the villain and the hard red hair guy

like if I'm enjoying black clover over it, then you know something's up

i thought black clover was over after the epic fight in the kingdom but they had...
yeah I kinda got all I wanted from that series, so I never bothered continuing with the manga

Ngl, the anime lowkey did disappoint me with some aspects. Cuz the anime made a lil too realistic with its style. It’s dope, but the manga was so animated and fast paste that it was sorta uncanny with the manga
inland talon
latest sales say it's #20
I see. But I think when it was running it was much higher
normal hare
probably but I think it pales in comparison to jjk
or even frieren for that matter
was surprised at how popular frieren was

I mean it was the Japanese fans that were the ones asking for the CSM director to off himself
