Looks like it doesn't end... well, this is the end. They're cancelling the BD sales for Sasakoi. The anime is done, and it's the end. No blurays, prob because nothing is going to be mastered.

it's so sad, I feel so sad for Takeshima. A beautiful work being butchered like this.

Sakiko: Welcome home cheater

[vale bloom]

woah

i gotta catch up then

[normal hare]

damn is my taste too picky I couldn't get through solo leveling

[gilded ember]

damn how

[vale bloom]

the ragnarok one?

[gilded ember]

im guessing the anime

[normal hare]

yeah the first season

was gonna catch up for s2

but it's either cause i've read the manhwa before

or the show is just bland

[gilded ember]

its been awhile since i watched s1 but s2 is peak already

[normal hare]

yeah the later arcs are hype but man

the majority of the story

just can't get through it

yeah this sounds just hella elitist but the art in the manhwa

really carried it

[gilded ember]

i remember s1 mostly the talk was abt the igris fight

[normal hare]

it's like I think you could just watch the fights on youtube and not watch the story

similar to god of highschool

guess i'll watch delicious in dungeon

[gilded ember]

its the story to become op lol

[normal hare]

yeah i've just kinda read too many of these cultivation stories

especially when you've seen better ones you kinda get numb to it

solo leveling kinda paved way so it definitely should get its respect

but I swear if it hadn't taken so long to release the anime

[azure ravine]

get that with any novel turned anime i read

[normal hare]

cause i was super hyped for this series back in like 2020/2021

[gilded ember]

maybe i enjoy it just because i dont read that much type of manhwas

[normal hare]

oh for sure

solo leveling was one of the first ones i read so it got me excited too

[normal hare]

I was actually excited for beginning after the end but the studio adapting it

probably not a good sign

novel adaptations usually aren't the greatest

[gilded ember]

also idk if imma watch sakamoto days, everyone says the animation is bad

[azure ravine]

yeah, was excited for solo leveling too, but watching knowing what happens is not the same

s1 was great, havent watched s2 yet, but don't feel the same hype once s1 started

[normal hare]

this is why i try so hard to avoid reading the original source material

cause that magic will never be there

[normal hare]

yeah apparently japan ripped it quite a bit

like even in the preview lol

[gilded ember]

wdym by ripped

[normal hare]

like were flaming it

[gilded ember]

yeaa

shangrila frontier is still my fav fighting anime to date

[buoyant lake]

NOOOOO

[rustic lynx]

Imagine the final panel of the final chapter with Komi going "I'm Komi, and I can communicate"

Then Linkin Park bursts into your room and starts playing "What I've Done"

Guys, do you remember Zatch Bell?

I just found out there’s a sequel manga 2 years ago

Zatch Bell was peak 2000s anime

[gilded ember]

https://myanimelist.net/anime/59113/Farmagia people would think this is a fairy tail knock off but its actually also made by the fairy tail author lol

[buoyant lake]

Fairy Tail author just has one style LMAO

I'm more surprised the protagonist isn't named after a season this time

Rave Master is actually a really good series btw

But when I say "one style" I do mean that some characters look EXACTLY like other characters from Fairy Tail or they're just straight up reused in Fairy Tail

[normal hare]

Yeah eden's zero literally looks like fairy tail

I did hear it was pretty good though

[rustic lynx]

Wait you mean Eden's Zero isn't Fairy Tail?

[normal hare]

They just stole a couple characters no biggie

[buoyant lake]

Oh which ones?

[rustic lynx]

Like, that's definitely Happy and Lucy

And Erza

[buoyant lake]

Look up Sieghart from Rave Master

Happy and the lil snow guy is in it too

[normal hare]

Also baby gray and erza

[rustic lynx]

Ok, it's definitely Happy

[buoyant lake]

Rave Master had my favorite fighting system cause it reminded me of Ueki's Law iirc

Which is FANTASTIC btw

[rustic lynx]

Same VA as well with Kugimiya Rie

[buoyant lake]

Happy encompasses all universes

What in the world happened to my cute girls doing cute things while in a band franchise bruh

[normal hare]

Life

[rustic lynx]

Real

1st panel is me getting excited about graduating after Uni

[normal hare]

And then you realise uni was better

[rustic lynx]

My HS days was better for me

[normal hare]

It just gets progressively worse pretty much at every stage

[rustic lynx]

My uni days was being an irregular student, which meant I only get to meet my specific classmates only on specific classes on specific days

[normal hare]

Middle school was true peak

Highschool I was way too worried about my future career already

Like what I wanted to study in uni

[rustic lynx]

I don't know what middle school is, I don't PH has one

PH education went from elementary (which is Grade 1-6), to 4 years of HS, and then you get sent off to college

[normal hare]

damn so your last year is grade 10?

Highschool is 9-12 and middle school is 7-8

[rustic lynx]

PH has since made a new curriculum, but I graduated HS before they implemented it

[normal hare]

Interesting

Oh it isn't k-12

Damn missed a couple of years of peak childhood

ive been watching this, its actually fun

[normal hare]

It's so bad that it's funny now

[gilded ember]

i actually wanna know how and why are they going to hawaii

its just gonna be a bunch of bikini fanservice

[normal hare]

I haven't watched since s1, might catch up for shits and giggles

[rustic lynx]

Because how else are they gonna milk this franchise?

I'm surprised the author hasn't isekai'd Kazutrash yet

[rustic lynx]

They even made it a 2-cour to milk this shit as hard as they currently can

As if anything substantial to the plot will happen in either cours

[gilded ember]

only gooners are watching this anime lol

[normal hare]

cmon now that's a bit unfair

[rustic lynx]

That's pretty rude to actual gooners

Can I get a rule 1

[normal hare]

plenty of fanservice anime that could be just called gooner shows

people just want to see the trainwreck till the end

a shame cause this show once had just a good trajectory

[gilded ember]

yea only 10 people prolly

[normal hare]

you'd be surprised to see how many people are still invested

that's why this show keeps getting more seasons

just like how we get stuff like date a live still

[gilded ember]

woah ntm on date a live the few eps i watched was actually good ngl

[normal hare]

I didn't really see anything in it

made it like halfway through s1

[rustic lynx]

And that's why anime quality is freefalling

[normal hare]

not really

[rustic lynx]

And that's not exclusive to just anime, it's happening with games and movies too

[normal hare]

there's just a lot more slop

cause there's just

more anime being produced in general

[rustic lynx]

If people continually buy crap, companies will keep putting out crap

[normal hare]

but if you look at the amount of good shows it's still pretty consistent

just a bit harder to sieve through it

[austere skiff]

id argue that rent a girlfriend is one of the highest quality harem trash anime weve ever had

[normal hare]

i'd agree with that if it ended at like

chapter 80

the movie arc was like a perfect spot

[austere skiff]

i havent watched or read it

[normal hare]

or at least it should've been a turning point

[austere skiff]

it just feels that way to me

[normal hare]

but it just regressed after that

high quality trash anime usually still have some quality to them

plot is still solid, characters still enjoyable

[austere skiff]

ok wtf

i take it back thats very long

[normal hare]

can't really remember the last time we got good quality slop

[austere skiff]

rent a girlfriend is literally longer than dragonball lmao

does it have any sign of stopping soon?

[normal hare]

lord knows i'm not kept up

oh i guess maou gakuin was probably the last good trashy show even though i didn't like it

https://tenor.com/view/anos-voldigoad-gif-24955543

or eminence in shadow

[rustic lynx]

Rent a Girlfriend: 1 million+ viewers
Bocchi The Rock: 650K+ viewers

More people watched Rent a Girlfriend than Bocchi, let that sink in

Now tell me, which one has a better quality

Hell, even the Haruhi movie only has 620K

[gilded ember]

do you know how better the world would be if they invested the budget to makeine or days with my stepsister s2 instead of those filth like cmon man

[normal hare]

tbf i haven't watched haruhi either

I just hear a lot of stuff about endless eight

[austere skiff]

haruhi was the series if you were a fan of anime

20 years ago

time be changing

[normal hare]

yeah unfortunately i was a toddler 20 years ago

sword art online was the series when i started watching

or attack on titan

[rustic lynx]

To Love Ru at 650K is actually surprising

[austere skiff]

kids these days dont get it

its funny seeing people find out that one piece was the least popular of the big three

[normal hare]

yeah one piece didn't get big until the past few years

naruto and bleach was always the cool thing

[rustic lynx]

That's because One Piece is overhyped mid

https://tenor.com/view/one-piece-luffy-run-running-chase-gif-4773340

[gilded ember]

oh yea i always wanted to ask this question, why is dbz not in that big 3

[normal hare]

it's the father

of the big 3 lol

[austere skiff]

cause dragon ball was like 20 years earlier lol

[normal hare]

it's essentially the founding father of shounen anime

the big 3 were all inspired by db

[rustic lynx]

Smh forgetting the actual father of anime, Astro Boy

[normal hare]

ok gramps

let's get you and your black and white tv to bed

[gilded ember]

hmm i guess dbz broke that mecha wave back in the 80s

[austere skiff]

watch pluto

very good show

[normal hare]

I read a bit of 20th century boys

i assume

it's the same jazz

[rustic lynx]

Spice and Wolf is at 200K, more people watched Rent a Girlfriend than Holo

[normal hare]

now that gets me depressed

[rustic lynx]

Let that sink in

[normal hare]

but tbf it was very much a show of its time'

and people were always like ew economics

thank god for the remake

[rustic lynx]

I used the new ones data

btw

[austere skiff]

spice and wolf was niche even when it was at peak popularity

[normal hare]

yeah it's just not for everyone

i just love the business side and the slow romance

best couple in anime

also holo is just

the best tsundere

sorry rin

[rustic lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/taiga-gif-25819148

[normal hare]

taiga has single handedly ruined the tsundere reputation

[rustic lynx]

Bro forgetting who started it all

[austere skiff]

also its not until recently that non-action/shounen shows have been getting popular anyway

[gilded ember]

this mf prime be holding a grudge, man if u dont ball up and tell me ur fav girl

[rustic lynx]

Fav girl in where

[gilded ember]

rent

[normal hare]

has to be short hair girl

[austere skiff]

screw taiga

ami best girl

[rustic lynx]

The blue hair girl

[normal hare]

WHAT I'M SAYING

ami was by far

the most interesting character in the series

[gilded ember]

mmmm you know ball

[normal hare]

i knew she was gonna lose but

she was just such an ass but true to her nature

[gilded ember]

we cant fault that mc is a masochist

[normal hare]

true

I too enjoy getting assaulted on the daily

tbf

taiga did get a lot more

bearable

halfway through the show

[normal hare]

that scene where she fights that girl in the classroom was

peak cinema

[gilded ember]

pretty sad that my actual first anime that i watched if i dont count naruto and dbz was love and lies

[normal hare]

why that sad

it was so peak

[gilded ember]

only thr op was peak

[normal hare]

only thing that sucked was that the manga released like

4 pages

per month

drove me nuts

and then they kinda made the ending weird

it was very obvious the original ending was ririna winning

but to appease the misaki fans (me) they made two endings

[austere skiff]

i had to check something

irregular at magic high now has over 40 volumes

the manga adaptation that is

[rustic lynx]

Watched 1 episode of Love and Lies when it first came out and it's currently sitting in my on-hold section

aka I'll never finish it

[austere skiff]

i enjoyed koi to uso

mainly cause ive been a frederic fan for a very long time

[normal hare]

it was one of those wild japan birth rate solution stories that worked

i remember reading it and i was like what in the hell

[gilded ember]

wait what? lmao

[normal hare]

the government basically matchmaked all the citizens

to solve the birthrate issue

japan things

[gilded ember]

ngl i be forgetting the plot oh yea that did happen

[normal hare]

the funniest part was the first few chapters they had an "educational" seminar where they made them watch 🌽 and then sent all the couples into their own rooms

i was like

[gilded ember]

also if dont know ||chihayafuru|| you dont know ball one of the most underrated romance anime of all time

[austere skiff]

chihayafuru is not underrated

yes i was one of those people who got mad at prozd for saying that

[normal hare]

I never watched it

[gilded ember]

idk them new gen fans dont talk abt it alot

[normal hare]

i was out of my shoujo phase by that point

[buoyant lake]

SO TRUE

[gilded ember]

yea nah back then i was just a shounen kid man

[buoyant lake]

Chihayafuru was one of those anime that folks always wanted a third season for

I think we got one a few years back

[austere skiff]

yeah it was 2019

[buoyant lake]

🧓

[rustic lynx]

Anyone remember Working

[gilded ember]

the love triangle is best ive seen executed in all of anime (haven't watched fruits basket)

[buoyant lake]

To be fair 2019 was COVID times so

YOOOOOOOOOOOOO WORKING!!!!!!! was sooo good

[austere skiff]

madhouse was always super busy doing shonen stuff back then so it felt like it was never happening

[buoyant lake]

I know it goes against my dislike for tsunderes but it's so good

Also there at least it made sense 😭

[austere skiff]

the manga has finally ended now

[buoyant lake]

Oh Chihayafuru manga did???

[austere skiff]

yeah a couple years ago

[normal hare]

you mean 2020

[buoyant lake]

Damn

[austere skiff]

there is a sequel manga but i wasnt really interested

[normal hare]

covid hit like late 2019 but we didn't get lockdowns till like march of 2020

[buoyant lake]

WELL yeah I just mean it's like, those couple of years got deleted for me so it feels like it's only been a couple of years

[normal hare]

we were just all like oh haha funny flu

and then in a few months we were like oh

[normal hare]

fair

half a decade btw now

[rustic lynx]

I got to see Loona in 2019. 2019 is a good year for me

[buoyant lake]

F U CK

I'm calculating

I saw them in 2021 I think

[normal hare]

wasn't it 2022

that's when they had the tour

[buoyant lake]

The World Tour

[normal hare]

2021 was only online

[buoyant lake]

OH DAMMIT YOU'RE RIGHT

[normal hare]

smh fake orbit

[buoyant lake]

NO I'M JUST OLD LMFAO

I keep having to calculate their whole history to remember when the tour actually happened

[normal hare]

i remember it all too vividly

[buoyant lake]

My mind always goes oh let's go back to 2018 and count forward

[normal hare]

cause it happened before the lawsuit era

everything changed

[buoyant lake]

Right but I keep forgetting what year lawsuit era started

[normal hare]

when the fire nation attacked

[buoyant lake]

Cause it was late Nov 2022 but it feels like it was Nov 2021

[austere skiff]

i use queendom as a landmark

cause qd2 was in 22

[normal hare]

nov 2021 i had only just gotten into loona, nov 2022 loona gone

1 year can change a lot

[buoyant lake]

2022 was just so darn busy

[normal hare]

the best thing was sns freedom, i enjoyed that more than qd or the cb

[buoyant lake]

After years of having just one-two CBs max you get 2022 which had From concert, QD2, Flip That, World Tour, Chuu kicked out, lawsuit era begins

SNS freedom era was awesome but also very busy LMAO and usually I would just watch the duo/group lives and not so much the solo ones

[normal hare]

I was stuck at home and doing online classes so i'd watch every single one

happier times

used to post orrery's translations in the chat 😭

[buoyant lake]

Bless your heart

I used to do live translation (attempts) for some of them HAHA

[normal hare]

I remember, whenever orrery was slow or he was mia

🙏 bless

Bless Subbits

[normal hare]

I just miss vlive, youtube lives don't feel the same

or ig lives for that matter

TRUE

Who knows maybe Vivi will do a stream of her watching all of One Piece while we wait for Looble to do stuff again LOL

(Me trying to bring it back to anime a lil )

[rustic lynx]

I can bring it back to anime related, watch

Heejin is a weeb

https://tenor.com/view/loona-heejin-heart-rasengan-naruto-gif-18058887

[normal hare]

what has she actually watched besides like naruto and jjk

[rustic lynx]

My bias is a normie weeb

[normal hare]

i think the others are kinda normie too, yeojin and choerry watched demon slayer

at least vivi watches one piece

[rustic lynx]

Ngl I didn't even know she watched JJK

[normal hare]

kinda normie but a bit more based

[normal hare]

I'm not actually entirely sure, i've just seen her doing some gojo poses

maybe she saw it on tiktok or smth

[rustic lynx]

Probably got it from that TickTock of hers 👴

Back in my days! rants

[gilded ember]

oh yea this is a loona server i totally forgot lol

[buoyant lake]

Didn't she say she watched Oshi no Ko or something?

[rustic lynx]

Loona? What's a Loona? Is that an active Korean girl group?

[normal hare]

idols watching oshi no ko

[buoyant lake]

yeah............

It was either her or Choerry I think

[normal hare]

they're becoming aware!

i can't remember

oshi no ko s1 was already 2 years ago

[rustic lynx]

Tokyo Ghoul was a decade ago

[normal hare]

I still can't believe a series as great and big as tokyo ghoul

[normal hare]

the artstyle is a bit old looking as good as it is

[rustic lynx]

Bro it looks like back when Crush Gear was the shit

[normal hare]

just like how spice and wolf completely changed up their artstyle

it's a more colorful cleaner look imo

[rustic lynx]

Remember Crush Gear? Yeah

nah while everyone loves rias, im a asia typa guy

[normal hare]

actually

more of an akeno guy

but rias is great too

[austere skiff]

i think the ranma remake is a pretty good example of something getting modernised without changing the art style

[rustic lynx]

Xenovia

they're all great

[normal hare]

aoty already i can smell it

[gilded ember]

which one u referring to

[normal hare]

bunny girl

I lost all interest in onk atp

[gilded ember]

i gotta watch the movies

is it canon

[normal hare]

yes

i haven't seen the 2nd one about his little sister yet

[dull drum]

onk was truly just the pilot then we all lost interest

[normal hare]

the first episode was absolute cinema

still one of the best premieres to date

then I caught up on the manga and slowly lost interest

[azure ravine]

mood

[normal hare]

my morale of the story is never catch up to the source material

there's only the rare occurence where the studio just butchers

the second season

so it's better to go to the manga

i.e promised neverland

or blue lock

(and yes i am aware they've fixed a lot of things recently)

[austere skiff]

^

promised neverland manga also didnt stick the landing fwiw

[normal hare]

for me a good anime adaptation is always better than the manga

[normal hare]

but that was also a lot later down the line

[austere skiff]

ive always preferred reading

[normal hare]

I prefer reading too, it's just usually with novels, not manga

[austere skiff]

onk is quite interesting to think about

[normal hare]

I'd say the same for one piece, the manga is much better, but the big moments in the anime are just absolutely iconic

[austere skiff]

i think a lot of people viewed it as a "dark side™️ of the idol industry" story but now that its over, while it does show some bad things happening, it never really challenges them in any way

also mengo has been talking about doing a spinoff where aqua and ruby end up together

[normal hare]

the reincarnation and that god just kinda took the immersion out of the story for me

[austere skiff]

so suck on them apples (sigh)

[normal hare]

yeah the manga is fantastic, i just listen to the bleach soundtrack over it

i'll swap over to the anime once i reach the tybw

voice acting and animation is really important for comedy i feel

kaguya sama was another pretty evident case

the manga was great but the animation just elevated it to new heights

oh I loved the anime a lot more

I mean i still enjoyed the manga

but like you said

the anime really adds

a lot more

to the experience

I also really prefer action in anime form, I know the manga art can be great but when it comes to fight scenes

sometimes there's just a difficult time

being able to tell what's going on

[normal hare]

yeah it's like a blur of movement or explosions

[gilded ember]

what a stacked resume she has happy birthday to reina ueda 🎂

[ebon thunder]

[hxh] wow, just finished an episode where ||it's just 20+ mins of gon being so fucking pissed||

[normal hare]

Rock paper scissors intensifies

[normal hare]

Hbd legend

[vale bloom]

LOL

kaiju no.8 ch 120 : ||i understand it now meme||

[ebon thunder]

why is the climax of the chimera ant arc less actual dialogue and more narration

[normal hare]

everyone's too locked in

only the narrator has time to speak

[ebon thunder]

you're right tho

it's full of yap

[normal hare]

watching it in anime form was a different beast

i swear they were running up the stairs for 20 episodes

[ebon thunder]

lol

how much more when we get to jjk's ||culling exam|| arc

is it sad that i only think abt sayuri whenever i see something related to lycoris

[sullen pine]

they really don't wanna do a S2 huh

[normal hare]

don't think there's much content left

[normal hare]

i swear hxh has like some of the most iconic scenes in anime

[ebon thunder]

Finished the chimera ant arc, that was super wild

[buoyant lake]

Popular take but it's probably the best arc in HxH

[normal hare]

yeah for me yorknew overall was still my favorite

i just love the phantom troupe so much

chimera arc was a bit dragged out but the peaks are like the highest peaks in hxh

https://tenor.com/view/netero-meruem-chimera-gif-19998744

[ebon thunder]

true

despite it having 60+ eps

[normal hare]

it's like yorknew > greed island > chimera ant for me

all very valid

[ebon thunder]

reminder that bungee gum has the properties of both rubber and gum

[normal hare]

tru

[ebon thunder]

but if i were to pick the best villain group it would be the spiders

[normal hare]

yeah they've surpassed the akatsuki for me

[ebon thunder]

also better drip than them

[normal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/ginyu-force-pose-explosion-dbz-gif-7883323

actually nvm i forgot about these guys

goats

[normal hare]

I think the funniest part in this series is when uvogin fights the shadow beasts

actually just the shadow beasts in general

hyped them up just to have them all get beat in a few seconds

[ebon thunder]

"this is slipknot he can climb anything" ugh narrative

[ebon thunder]

akio otsuka one of the most epic anime voices tbh

[normal hare]

i think he has definitely the best artstyle

out of all the big shounens

it's clean

[sullen pine]

nothing is more iconic than bleach manga covers

[rustic lynx]

We're really about to get Garnt watching MyGo before Bubba

[normal hare]

checkmate i'm watching it with him

[gilded ember]

the crashout counter finna be so cinema

https://tenor.com/view/absolute-cinema-cinema-neqsil-neqsil-gif-tokidoki-bosotto-russia-go-de-dereru-tonari-no-alya-san-gif-7194922688176180121

[rustic lynx]

Your move Love Live

Make Garnt (known idol anime hater) watch Liella

[normal hare]

he hates idol anime but he's been super big on girls band animes (better idol anime in disguise)

[rustic lynx]

Actually, he hated K-On

[gilded ember]

i only watch his vids sometimes cuz his takes are casual af

[normal hare]

yeah cause it was just slice of life

oh cmon man garnt is the last person you should be calling casual

he's literally been watching every season for like

20 years

and he watches everything

[rustic lynx]

Then what do you call Bocchi or Girls Band Cry?

[normal hare]

i mean bocchi is literally all about her progression from being a shut in

to finding friends and performing on stage

and you see that as the show goes on

she gains more courages, and creates bonds

and girls band cry was also about about nina finding a way to express herself

and get away from her family and school that shunned her

[gilded ember]

idk i was watching his top 100 op reaction and it was mostly casual takes ngl

[normal hare]

really? I watched it too and i didn't really notice that

[rustic lynx]

Bruh even Garnt called Bocchi a slice of life

Come on now

[normal hare]

i mean his main distinction as to why he liked bocchi and not k-on, was that there was actual plot

that's essentially the difference between slice of life and non

plot

[rustic lynx]

[normal hare]

people have lost the plot when it comes to what slice of life actually is

basically everything that is non fantasy is slice of life now

just cause it happens in the real world

slice of life is literally the characters vibing every episode with no sense of an overarching goal

[gilded ember]

true sol should be about life lessons

[rustic lynx]

Yeah because SoL is rooted in realism and relatable everyday events

[normal hare]

to me something like nichijou or horimiya is a slice of life

there's no plot

no goal no nothing

it's just the characters interacting

[gilded ember]

or maybe that, just peaceful stuff

[normal hare]

anyways that's besides the point i was trying to make lol

i don't care how you want to define slice of life

the main reason why garnt didn't like k-on

is cause there was no real plot

and bocchi/gbd has

[gilded ember]

the plot is yui finding a club to have fun lmfao

[normal hare]

yeah it's just vibes

not saying one or the other is better

it's just when it comes to garnt's preferences

that's what it is

[rustic lynx]

Plus if you want character development, Yui started the series not knowing how to play the guitar

And ended the series shredding

https://tenor.com/view/anime-guitar-gif-15927472

[normal hare]

that's great and all but relative to gbd and bocchi, quite a big margin

anyways that's garnt's opinion not mine

i have no problem with slice of life shows

[rustic lynx]

MyGo clears all anyway

[normal hare]

i'll see when i watch, gbd has a set pretty high standard for me

[gilded ember]

i think he's a shounen first guy and every shounen fan hates slice of life

[rustic lynx]

Cause unless there's a fight scene with 10,000 cuts every few minutes, it feels boring

[gilded ember]

yea, like most shounen guys ive seen who tried to watch frieren dropped it immediately cuz it was slow af and slice of lifey

[normal hare]

he is not a just shounen guy at all lol

his 3x3

he likes shounen

but he watches like

everything

he is as real of a hardcore anime fan as it gets

[gilded ember]

again, i dont know him that well to judge his takes so imma just chill

[rustic lynx]

He fell off for me so hard that even I'm starting to think Connor's takes are better

[normal hare]

bruh why you be hatin he's literally the only guy who still watches anime 😭

and I have to reiterate

he watches all the shows

so I think if there's anyone who can judge properly it's him

[rustic lynx]

I moved over to Mother's Basement and Glass Reflection

[normal hare]

they're all good

i just don't know what he's done to fall off so hard for you

or maybe he's just too mainstream of a content creator for you

[gilded ember]

yea he took over joey since he retired on the anime stuff right

[normal hare]

yeah if we should be saying anyone's fallen off hard

it's for sure joey

that dude just hates on modern anime

his reason for not liking anime is that "it's all isekai trash", like yeah there are so many shows that are isekai trash

[gilded ember]

now he's the one who hates bocchi lmfao

[normal hare]

but that doesn't mean the good shows are gone 💀

[rustic lynx]

Watch him shit on MyGo for 2 episodes, then pretend he never did that when he reaches Episode 3

[normal hare]

cmon now gbd was literally one of his top shows of 2024

he knows quality when he sees it

joey is the one who be switching up his takes

he enjoyed bocchi and then he started hating it cause of the fans

everything you say about garnt sounds like a more accurate depiction of joey

[gilded ember]

no he hates it because bocchi's personality does not exist irl apparently it makes him cringe is what i heard

[normal hare]

that contributes too

but like if you looked at his takes on bocchi from like

2 years ago

[rustic lynx]

Joey dismissed social anxiety

[normal hare]

he said he was enjoying it

[gilded ember]

oh idk about that

[normal hare]

but like i think he just got tilted when people were saying bocchi was better k-on especially during the trash taste tour

so now he just flat out dislikes the show

it's like man just ignore those kinda fans

[gilded ember]

kinda ironic for still having a channel called theanimeman dont ya think

[normal hare]

yeah lmao he can't change it either

cause that's basically his branding

his takes have just become so surface level that it's really frustrating to listen to

he won't bother to watch stuff cause he believes that only isekai trash is released now

[gilded ember]

ok i take that back he is the casual not garnt

[rustic lynx]

Connor the only one I still watch

[normal hare]

you should watch his yearly anime recap vids, they're a staple

[rustic lynx]

Especially when he collabs with Abroad in Japan

[normal hare]

I watch connor just for streaming stuff and not even anime anymore

[rustic lynx]

I blame Connor for bringing me back to vtubers because he collabs with Ironmouse

[gilded ember]

yea i got to watch his 2024 recap did he talk about makeine?

[normal hare]

yep

[gilded ember]

niceee

[normal hare]

his list this year was shorter i think, just cause there weren't really

a lot of great shows in 2024

[gilded ember]

true

[normal hare]

he's got makeine at #7, dangers in my heart at #6, and gbd at #5

so yeah pretty high praise

[gilded ember]

what's gbd u mean gbc?

[normal hare]

and he's not a big fan of highschool romance

oh yeah gbc idk y i keep saying gbd

[gilded ember]

lmao

[normal hare]

but yeah he doesn't really like highschool romance anymore so when he does like one, it's usually high praise

[gilded ember]

the highschool romance last were surprisingly pretty good man

alya, stepsis, makeine that's all in the same season too

[normal hare]

yeah i think the genre is having a resurgence

blue box

and then kaoru hana

alot of actually quality stuff

and not just the same old same old

[gilded ember]

we need tune into the midnight heart to get adapted and that's gonna be perfect

[normal hare]

🙏

[gilded ember]

that genre is back if that happens

[normal hare]

waifu wars are officially back lol

i just know it's gonna get messy

[gilded ember]

fuck it we ball, its gonna be a better quintessential quintuplets

[rustic lynx]

All that just to get beaten by Kurumi

[rustic lynx]

Not a high bar

[normal hare]

gonna need to see how the author sticks the landing

think quintuplets was pretty peak until the end

it's just so easy to fumble the delivery lol

and like you just know fans will never be happy

regardless of which girl wins

[gilded ember]

hot take if u make a harem anime, just stick with the harem ending also

[rustic lynx]

Or a yuri ending where the FMCs realize the MC is denser than a black hole

[gilded ember]

https://tenor.com/view/yor-forger-yor-meat-cooking-cutting-gif-26866147

let him cook

[normal hare]

the thing is harem animes don't work if the mc isn't dense lmao

[rustic lynx]

Monogatari

[gilded ember]

no bcuz if he isnt dense there's no harem to begin with

[rustic lynx]

Or Grisaia I guess

[normal hare]

I never made it past ep 2 for monogatari so i have no idea

[rustic lynx]

Wait I think there is one...

||Redo of Healer||

[gilded ember]

oh brother...

[normal hare]

ehh I mean like we never really got a confirmed winner in that either

he was just like vibing with every girl

[rustic lynx]

Well it is adapted from a visual novel

[gilded ember]

havent watched that

[normal hare]

yeah

point is like if the mc likes all of them then he isn't dense

[gilded ember]

the animations was cool based on the clips i watched

[normal hare]

that's just how the cookie crumbles

like 100 gfs

but like in your standard harem anime where one girl has to win

he's made dense so that there's suspense

which is why people don't like harems and that's fair

[gilded ember]

100 gf is a different story tbh, he got blessed by god lol

[rustic lynx]

I only watch harems when I wanna see some... cultured stuff

[normal hare]

i watch harems if the character designs are cute

[rustic lynx]

Ok watch Amagami then

[normal hare]

i mean i'm caught up with the manga

unless you're talking about amagami ss

[gilded ember]

whats better a harem or love triangle

[normal hare]

harem

[normal hare]

i just think the more competitors the better

and it feels less uh

realistic

[rustic lynx]

White Album 2

[normal hare]

so my immersion is way up

[gilded ember]

less drama too the most important part

[normal hare]

depends

really

like blue box handled their love triangle pretty well

[rustic lynx]

Love and Lies is a love triangle

[normal hare]

quintissential quintuplets got pretty messy for a bit

[gilded ember]

love triangle got some bad bad animes ||school days||

[normal hare]

ok but tbf

mc was

a massive asshole

and just straight up unlikeable

[rustic lynx]

See this is what I mean when it would've been better had they gone the yuri route

[normal hare]

and the girls

were psychos

[normal hare]

but usually most girls are somewhat sane

i think

[rustic lynx]

Why do you think Kurumi is still popular today?

Or why MiSide popped off

[normal hare]

yeah everyone wants to fix someone

[rustic lynx]

I can't fix them and I never wanted to

[normal hare]

a generation of boys were raised on yuno gasai

that's the kinda show you enjoy when you're an edgy teen

and akame ga kill is your favorite anime

[rustic lynx]

Yeah it's pretty mid. It's only saving grace is Yuno

[gilded ember]

ngl she looks like zero two copycat

[normal hare]

hey now don't bring down zero two like that

[rustic lynx]

It was a so-so survival game show

[normal hare]

i just hated yuki so much lol

he was the biggest scaredy cat

[gilded ember]

just basing off aura lol

[rustic lynx]

Btoom was better, and Btoom was pretty bad show

[gilded ember]

btoom op was a banger tho

[normal hare]

she's cute

pink haired girls are just peak

[rustic lynx]

She's from MyGo

[normal hare]

I can't escape it

[rustic lynx]

Run from it, hide from it, MyGo arrives all the same

[gilded ember]

tell me like who was the waifu that ran the early 2010s

[rustic lynx]

Kanade Angel Beats

[normal hare]

yuno gasai lmao

[rustic lynx]

Or probably Rias cause everybody was such a gooner back then

[normal hare]

rem rem rem rem rem rem rem

[normal hare]

back then

[rustic lynx]

[normal hare]

honestly zero two and rem are the two biggest ones i can think of

from that time

[gilded ember]

how about her

https://tenor.com/view/spy-x-family-yor-forger-yor-spy-x-family-yor-gif-9257090568996937621

[normal hare]

probably a good chunk

spy x family is one of the most popular shows in the world

past few years probably like yor, marin, kaguya

off the top of my head

[rustic lynx]

Touka is also a good choice for mid-2010s only because everybody and their mothers known about Tokyo Ghoul back then

[gilded ember]

the gyaru era pretty much

[normal hare]

true

i was obsessed with touka back then

tokyo ghoul was my personality for like half a year

[normal hare]

what other gyarus?

[gilded ember]

what in the emo

[normal hare]

not really coming to me

[normal hare]

bro 2013-2016 was like

that emo phase for anime

tokyo ghoul, sao, etc.

as edgy as it gets

[rustic lynx]

Junko from Danganronpa

[normal hare]

TRUE

i can fix her

[gilded ember]

aot and parasyte too makes sense

[rustic lynx]

I can't fix her and I don't want to

[gilded ember]

shikamori, uhh that girl from married but not lovers, girl from citrus

[normal hare]

shikamori not a gyaru

citrus was kinda like a flash in the pan

like hot on release but people forgot about it pretty quick

fufu ijou i'm surprised it wasn't more popular

i think marin really brought gyarus back

[gilded ember]

the gyarus back then were not like that appealing no offense

oh wait its shikimori and hmm i thought she was a gyaru, guess not 🤷‍♂️

[normal hare]

yeah she just has pink hair

[normal hare]

yeah i never liked them either

[gilded ember]

the modernized look definitely gave them that refreshing look that everyone loves today

also guys apparently bocchi the rock s2 is coming soon, totally got it from my very trusted sources

[normal hare]

One day surely

I'm finally done with my gacha games I think I'll have time to actually watch shows now

Beastars is widely more popular

[gilded ember]

[gilded ember]

[normal hare]

Huge

Can just rewind on YouTube God bless

[ebon thunder]

TIL leorio's VA passed away last 2020...

[normal hare]

Yeah

[normal hare]

ok i finally found time to watch mygo's first ep

I think I like anon, she feels very different for a mc

she's clearly all about herself and kinda ignorant of how people feel, character development will be good I sense

good ol narcissist

also cute fang

on a side note my attention span is cooked it took me awhile to finish it

enjoyed it though

[rustic lynx]

I thought you were gonna watch it with Gigguk?

[normal hare]

the stream was uploaded so I'm just watching it from there

i ended up being out so I missed a couple of eps

[gilded ember]

pffttt prime he don't know this is the calm before the storm type scenario

[normal hare]

hush now no spoilers or semi spoilers

i want to go on with 0 inklings of what is to come

[gilded ember]

my bad cuh

[normal hare]

I don't really mind the cg for the anime overall but the band scenes from what little we saw do look kinda rough

[gilded ember]

not everything is gonna be perfect man

actually idk how gbc did it tho, their performance stuff were smooth asl

[normal hare]

yeah I think that set the bar way too high

[buoyant lake]

Hey did anyone here watch the entirety of Gintama?

I've been kinda wanting to watch the last couple(?) of seasons so I'm just wondering if they're worth it

[normal hare]

@runic finch has

i've only seen like 25 eps

[buoyant lake]

I can't remember which season I'm on but at some point it started having short/seasonal(?) seasons

[gilded ember]

all i know is op 13 is a banger

[buoyant lake]

I watched most of it but at some point I caught up to having to wait for the episodes to come out and that's when I fell out ashgdjagsd

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa okay okay lemme figure out if i can remember what season i stopped at LMAO

The manga finished right? Did the anime cover all of it?

oh gdi gintama i forgot how confusing the names were LMFAOOOO

Is the movie number 10 here?

Looks like that's another season gashjd

I thought all the movies were just recaps/shortened versions of the series 🥺

I'm probably at Gintama. (season 8) on this list honestly, seems around the time I got into kpop

Ohhhh

[buoyant lake]

So most of the series is this and then it's only 3 to finish it up?

Yeah I figured that out LMAO that part I did watch though

[buoyant lake]

yeahhhhhhh LMAOO

It's part of the joke but

[austere skiff]

the joke was that before the timeskip arc the manga went on a one week hiatus in which two years passed so it was bacially an AU

so the anime did the same thing

idk about the rest of them i think they just did it for the luls

[buoyant lake]

LMAO that's so good

Idk today I just randomly remembered Gintama and thought to myself I should finish it

And then I remembered Tsukki exists and then I thought to myself I should REALLY finish it

[buoyant lake]

It does!!! I remember loving a lot of the characters

It's similar to One Piece in that way for me, you just end up liking a lot of the characters

time to cry back in the corner again 😢

[normal hare]

people gotta give up

even the movie was like

6 years ago atp

[normal hare]

my hype for the show kinda died awhile ago

[gilded ember]

its still fresh on my head idk maybe its because i havent watched the movie yet

[normal hare]

i highly recommend the movie

enjoyed it more than the anime series

if devil is a part timer can get a s2 after 10 years

maybe not so cope actually

[austere skiff]

i just think that style of ecchi show has gone out of fashion

ngnl was carried very hard by the visuals and the music (ie very high effort)

[normal hare]

What that mean

[austere skiff]

i thikn noone at kadakawa is interested in doing an s2

[normal hare]

It wasn't the greatest show but I thought the world building was pretty cool

Great concept too

[austere skiff]

it was pretty cool but it definitely stood out back then for the visuals

[normal hare]

For sure

[austere skiff]

i tried rewatching it recently and was just kinda checked out

[normal hare]

But like we're getting old ecchi shows like date a live still in recent memory
