Anime & Manga - General Chat

[austere skiff]

its like i was 14 when i first watched it or something

[normal hare]

It also is technically one of the og isekais

Arifureta is one series that really isn't that good but it's been getting sequels

Like sales are still pretty high for ngnl

[austere skiff]

yeah i guess that the thing

[normal hare]

Eminence in shadow is another one

That really reminds me of old school ecchi

[austere skiff]

anime are for promoting the lns

thats why konosuba went of such a big break

[normal hare]

Yeah but usually it works in tandem and that's how you get more seasons

Cote

Mahouka

[austere skiff]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[normal hare]

Re zero is a weird one too

One of the most popular novels but it took like 4 years in between

[austere skiff]

i think the wait for rezero was definitely worth it though

also i think they needed to give the novel time to get ahead

iirc the anime was pretty fast

[normal hare]

Was it not ahead already? I remember novel readers harping about the end of s2 only being the prelude to all the crazy stuff

I guess if they wanted to do two cour for all the seasons makes a bit more sense

[austere skiff]

ah rezero started in 2012, must be thinking of something else

[normal hare]

Yeah they were like 9 or so volumes ahead of the anime I think

[austere skiff]

that definitely helped with sales of the ln then

what i always found strange about ngnl is that everyone seems to way more ok with sora and shiros relationship than i expect them to be

i imagine if there ever is a season 2 thats gonna be th emain talking point

[ebon thunder]

i didn't even know there were rumors in the first place so...

[normal hare]

It was back then and also it's anime

Like mahouka

[ebon thunder]

nisekoi s3 when

[normal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-irregular-at-magic-high-gif-12243716

[austere skiff]

yeah its just interesting how opinions change lol

[austere skiff]

the rumors were complete copium thats why

[normal hare]

Yeah it's been like that for ages now

[austere skiff]

aniplex said they were gonna announce a new anime and ngnl fans assumed it was ngnl s2 despite aniplex having nothing to do with that ip

[normal hare]

Oh a lot of people were excited for that announcement not just ngnl fans

I was so ready for a 86 sequel

Still waiting

[ebon thunder]

obviously aot s4 part 4 episode 1 part 1

[rustic lynx]

Anime peaked at the chess part

[gilded ember]

ur trippin

[normal hare]

I don't even remember what he's talking about lmao

It's been too long

[gilded ember]

the battle against that girl who guarded the library was more peak

[normal hare]

Jibril fans rise

[gilded ember]

aint no way isnt that part the most iconic on the series

[normal hare]

Bro I haven't watched it in 10 years

[gilded ember]

damn unc

[rustic lynx]

[dull drum]

no game no life s2 is def not happening

s1 itself would not get a pass these days due to having an 11 yr old naked in the show

[rustic lynx]

I didn't remember that

[austere skiff]

"circular breathing" is an iconic part of the show

i assure you it was absolutely nescessary

[normal hare]

Yeah my memory is cooked I remember nothing

https://tenor.com/view/riku-dola-rd-ngnl-ngnl-zero-no-game-no-life-gif-16427904689973447223

Anyways the movie is great

Much more interesting than the original series

[dull drum]

when they were fighting Jibril in ep 7 i think

i remember cause i was obsessed with that anime at the time so i rewatched it like 100 times

[ebon thunder]

ngnl is where i knew about shiritori

[gritty burrow]

Gonna check if NU offers Mobi download

[gritty burrow]

Damn, it does't

[gilded ember]

Amagami AOTY

[gritty burrow]

I didn’t see any download buttons,and yeah,I use Calibre and Kindle Preview

[gritty burrow]

oh shit, good looking out

[gritty burrow]

Nah it didn’t work

[normal hare]

Yeah I usually download from jnovels, otherwise I just read stuff on the web

Been wanting an app for awhile but is more difficult than manga

[gritty burrow]

Yeah,it makes the most sense,it’s just a bit tedious for my situation.

[gritty burrow]

The sites slow down my kindle because obviously it’s not built for that

I’m just fortunate to download fanfics on it lmao

I don’t mind on the tablet but on the kindle it’s a pain

[normal hare]

i've been reading on the web for ages just cause a lot of the stuff i read are web novels

the sites I read on are pretty good

respect that you're still using a kindle in big 2025

I haven't used mine since like 2014

[gritty burrow]

Oh yeah,it’s just the flashy shit slows down the loading,that’s why ao3 works well because not a lot of pictures

[normal hare]

flashy shit?

[gritty burrow]

I’m trying to use as a hub for reading,only exception is my phone and tablet for manwha

[normal hare]

you mean the ads?

yeah i guess some sites do have that

[gritty burrow]

Yeah,I honestly couldn’t remember the word lmao

[normal hare]

can't remember the last time i've held a physical book

i miss the feel and smell

[dull drum]

def feels different with physical books, the moments feel more special

[normal hare]

yeah just no reason to buy physical books anymore unless you want to collect

for me at least

also considering that all the stuff I read is weeb, fan translations take awhile and official ones

even longer

so yeah just for collection purposes for physical

[gilded ember]

do you actually buy physical to read it or just for collection purposes

[normal hare]

collection

[gilded ember]

actually for me who can't bring a phone inside the university (crazy right) i actually use the novels i have bought

[normal hare]

Wait so how do you contact people if you're at uni

[gilded ember]

u can bring ur phone but its only used for emergency purposes

[normal hare]

inch resting

[gritty burrow]

Kobo are nice

[gritty burrow]

I bought the season 1 and 2 of the monogatari collection

Have I read it? Nah

Have I finished watching it? Nah

But fuck it,we ball

[normal hare]

Based

[gritty burrow]

The Kindle Preview came in clutch to transfer manga to the kindle/ ereaders

I still need to finish DxD but idk,feels like I’m out of the age range for it now

I’ll probably read the summaries and shit

Xenovia/Irina based tho

[normal hare]

Never too old

https://tenor.com/view/akeno-gif-6031918770122280675

[gritty burrow]

Then again I don’t think the echhi is that bad in the novels compared to the show

[rustic lynx]

The peak of all-time vs the peak of today

[azure ravine]

finished dandandan s1 and wasn't really intrigued. first 2 eps rlly made me want to see more, but after that i just wanted to watch less somehow...

[austere skiff]

shoulda been 24 eps smh

the ending to jijis arc wouldve been the perfect ending to a season

[normal hare]

Chainsaw man also suffered from ending right as things were picking up

[austere skiff]

thats just chainsawman, youre always gonna have that problem since its always escalating

[normal hare]

It's not really a issue of escalating, it's more that nothing really happened in s1 to bring people in

A lot of people found it underwhelming

Aside from the premiere, didn't really hit as hard

[austere skiff]

maybe idk

[normal hare]

From a non manga reader perspective at least, I was just like ok this is finally going somewhere

[austere skiff]

part 1 is only 100 chapters long

[normal hare]

And then it just ends

[austere skiff]

if they were gonna do more they should do all of it like jojo

but i guess theyre going the movie route

[normal hare]

Not a bad idea that is the meta

And a lot of people seem pretty excited

Including me

[austere skiff]

oh its still great

jump+ does have that effect

that why im like 3 years behind on jojo

[normal hare]

One day I'll finish jojo part 2

[gritty burrow]

I’m 8 chapters behind lmao

[normal hare]

So far jojo has been fun but still really waiting for a moment that pulls me in

If it's not slice of life I don't follow monthly releases lmao

I just wait for it to get ahead

Been waiting for boruto for 6 years now

[gritty burrow]

Damn,I forgot that shit still running

[normal hare]

My friend has repeatedly told me to catch up cause it's actually good now

[gritty burrow]

Yeah that’s the problem when it comes to monthly for action,it either hits and keeps the momentum or it dies out

[normal hare]

Yep

[gritty burrow]

I ain’t gonna lie,I probably still won’t pick it up

It was just

Eh

[austere skiff]

cries in world trigger

[normal hare]

Boruto next generations was pretty bleh cause like 60% was filler

[gritty burrow]

I started picking up other media like comics and especially webyoons so Manga have been on the back of the list

[austere skiff]

tournament arcs lasting years

[gritty burrow]

Yeah,I blame the show,it needed more material

[austere skiff]

then he started another tournament arc and went on hiatus in the middle of it

[gritty burrow]

I do want to pick up Super

[normal hare]

Yeah they started the show way too fast, it was like only a year after shippuden finished

[gritty burrow]

Craziest thing for me is that the manga ended years before it even finished

[normal hare]

Naruto filler shippuden

[austere skiff]

hey the filler is part of the naruto experience

[normal hare]

There was like 80 eps of filler before sasuke and naruto's final fight

[gritty burrow]

Damn

[gritty burrow]

That wedding arc was fye

[normal hare]

True

Need like a one pace for naruto shippuden

[gritty burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/patrick-beverley-patrick-beverley-nba-timberwolves-gif-11752728165167489486

How it felt when Naruto asked Iruka to be his dad

[normal hare]

Cries

Yeah as much as shippuden is clowned on, wrapped up pretty well

[gritty burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/josémourinho-portuguais-coach-real-madrid-victoire-gif-12469557

[gritty burrow]

Yeah I agree,it ended well

Then it went to shit

Ain’t gonna lie,I still defend Boruto’s behavior

[normal hare]

Think boruto just got screwed over, his childhood was never gonna be as enjoyable as naruto's cause it didn't happen during the wartime time period

People just gotta let it cook tho

Cause ep 1 when they showed kawaki turned the fanbase upside down

[gritty burrow]

Whole lot of shit was happening

[gritty burrow]

Personally,Naruto was a bad dad 🤷‍♂️

It’s the Itachi syndrome,the background doesn’t justify it

[normal hare]

Yeah doesn't justify it but it does explain it

He's just trying to work too hard

Was his life long goal after all

So makes sense why he wants to put so much into it

Just gotta find that work life balance

Naruto really be teaching you all the life lessons

[gritty burrow]

He didn’t learn from his,that’s why I defend Boruto

They just grew up with Naruto so they look the blind eye

[gritty burrow]

That was his greatest flaw

[normal hare]

I mean yeah that was the whole arc of the boruto movie anyways

I think it's good stuff

You grow up during war

It's hard to adjust

That's what makes it worthwhile to see

Oh man I wanna rewatch the movie now

[gritty burrow]

Idk,I personally dislike Naruto to what he grew up to be

Sasuke is a whole different thing

[normal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/hi-gif-27231202

[gritty burrow]

Yes sir,then it went downhill

[normal hare]

I mean yeah I don't like it but I think it offers an interesting conflict

[normal hare]

I mean the majority of early boruto is before this movie

[gritty burrow]

Wasn’t it like 3 chapters?

[normal hare]

Wdym

[gritty burrow]

Nvm

[normal hare]

I meant like we don't get this arc until like 70+ eps in

[gritty burrow]

Oh I was talking about the manga

[normal hare]

A lot of the early anime just got screwed by filler

[gritty burrow]

I liked the episode of Sasuke fighting that one bald mf

Shin?

[normal hare]

I think the manga does get progressively better from what I read so far

I'll have to read more to see if they follow through tho

[gritty burrow]

Sasuke,Sakura and her Sarada

[normal hare]

Cause I have heard good things

[normal hare]

The sarada arc was good

[gritty burrow]

The whole “they don’t know who you are” shit was

https://tenor.com/view/ah-shit-here-we-go-again-ah-shit-cj-gta-gta-san-andreas-gif-13933485

[gritty burrow]

Yes sir

https://tenor.com/view/naruto-vs-sasuke-karma-gif-21431250

I’m telling you,have Sakura train grappling skills,she’s p4p fighter

[normal hare]

True, tell her to forget healing just beat people up

That's the best medicine

[gritty burrow]

Send her 2-3 year Dagestan and forget

One time call in 6 months

[normal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/khabib-not-me-its-god-gif-12646714

[gritty burrow]

Hopefully they better utilize writing better female characters

[normal hare]

Yeah, sarada carries the hope

[gritty burrow]

Fuck

Now I’m tempted in reading it

[normal hare]

I'm gonna pick up where I left off

[gritty burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/the-cup-dave-blunts-blunt-cup-gif-2447846343543578333

[normal hare]

Going on holiday soon

Got all the time

[gritty burrow]

Lowkey that episode with the fucking dinosaur pushed me away

[normal hare]

I don't even remember that, sounds like filler lol wtf

[gritty burrow]

It was

[normal hare]

I dropped it in the anime during the mist village arc

The mizukage is so sorry

[gritty burrow]

https://tenor.com/view/sasuke-raptor-dinosaur-velociraptor-fight-gif-11285991539619385068

[gritty burrow]

Was that shit in the beginning?

[normal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/hiramekarei-naruto-anime-choujirou-gif-20143630

[normal hare]

Somewhat

[gritty burrow]

Where Sasuke pulled up and used the fucking eyes?

Iirc it was a girl antagonist no?

Idk

Either way,filler ruined Boruto

Nah

Greed ruined Boruto,we could have gone years without that shit

Now it’s plague

[normal hare]

Yeah, they wanted to keep the momentum going

It could've released like a couple years later for sure

The anime ruined its reputation

I'm still a believer tho

I'll see for myself

[gritty burrow]

“Just read the manga it’s fye tho” “there’s only 5 chapters out and it’s the fucking movie”

[normal hare]

That's why I waited 6 years for there to be like 90 chapters

[gritty burrow]

I believe the manga is fye but you have to drop any perception you already have

[normal hare]

Yep

Not easy for the average Joe to do

[gritty burrow]

Or else you’re just wasting and time and not going to enjoy it

[gritty burrow]

I don’t blame because of the filler rep

[normal hare]

Yeah but I think it's also easy to recognise fillers are strictly an anime issue

Only issue with the manga is slow releases

[gritty burrow]

Yeah nah,it’s slow as shit 😭

[normal hare]

Lmao

[gritty burrow]

Yeah useful for fanfics

[dull drum]

feel like Boruto would have benefited more from having an entire new character that is not related to Naruto at all tbh

there was a lot to explore outside of the region Naruto lived in

[normal hare]

Two sides to it I think, him being the son of naruto definitely helps a lot of people feel the connection and have a reason to continue watching

sounds like a normal day in the fandom

I blame the seiyuus after they said how shocked they were or how they teared up after reading the script /j

[normal hare]

Mygo ep 3 a lil confusing, this flashback had so many gaps in between the events that I genuinely wonder how everything went down, hopefully it's explained down the line

Just felt weird to have a flashback for 1 episode that didn't really explain too much

just finished watching the trama code: heroes on call, story is similar to the manhwa and the pacing is good too

of course theres some changes to the story but overall i am pretty happy with it

also the actor for one of the line up is so pretty

ive only ever reread the manga, so this is very fun

i also remembered that i never actually watched s2 or 3 lol

[normal hare]

I remember being with the people saying that s2 took too long and that the hype was dead

[austere skiff]

my relationship with this show is that i watched s1 when it came out, then waited patiently for s2

[normal hare]

As soon as the opening hit I was sold again

Linked horizon magic

[austere skiff]

then i watched the first episode, then said fuck it and started reading (and apparently didnt watch any further)

I tried reading the manga when the final season part 1 finished airing

Didn't quite hit the same

The music really did wonders for this show

yeah i'm getting that now

isayama's art was good enough to carry for me

||the worst moment so far was the beginning of trost arc when sasha saves samuel||

||genuinely had to take a break||

[normal hare]

Ain't even gonna lie I barely remember what happens in previous seasons besides the big moments

2016 all over again I feel like a kid

[dull drum]

[rustic lynx]

Yuri

[rustic lynx]

Rent was increased

[normal hare]

His clothing line seems to be doing pretty good tho

[rustic lynx]

Anon in Ave Mujica is pretty funny

[gilded ember]

she be trolling lmao

[austere skiff]

my favourite part about season 2 is how the ending is just chapter 122

like three years before the manga

[normal hare]

yeah I never actually realized

they spoiled it

[sullen pine]

||She is clearly missing Sakiko A LOT||

[gilded ember]

ahh the closet playgirls, ill pass on it 🚩

[normal hare]

i don't even know what that means

[gilded ember]

a walking red flag lmao

[normal hare]

but like how

i cannot think of many big ribbon girls that are closet "playgirls"

off the top of my head

or red flags

[normal hare]

https://youtu.be/OX1aQUZwnZY?si=S1GpDSD6K81KnDGc

new love live

maybe this is what gets me into it

looks a bit more melancholic and dramatic

[rustic lynx]

First it was Bandori who went to the depressive/psychological genre and now Love Live

What's happening to my cute girls doing cute things franchises bruh

[normal hare]

they gotta spice it up man

it was just like with the magical girls

https://tenor.com/view/madoka-magica-caramelldansen-homura-dance-gif-10773926847300482716

[rustic lynx]

It hurts seeing my MAL stats I've fallen off

[normal hare]

oldge

i haven't added stuff in awhile either

it just comes in moods

[rustic lynx]

2 total episodes in the last 3 weeks

I honestly can't believe nowadays that I was able to finish 17 shows in 1 month (Mar 2015)

And it's not like those shows were only 3 episodes long or anything, they're full length

[normal hare]

you could finish a good 12 ep show in 1 day

24 even if you just stayed up at night

[buoyant lake]

Why are you worried about your watchtimes when you should be worried about your RATINGS!!!!

D-FRAG 6??? 😭

[rustic lynx]

That's the special

[buoyant lake]

oh carry on

LMAO

[rustic lynx]

I gave the main show a 7

[buoyant lake]

A 7??? 😭

Well better than a 6

Idk I remember it being really funny

[rustic lynx]

It had its moments

[normal hare]

gekkan shoujo 6

[buoyant lake]

Maybe if I rewatch it now I'll think differently but still

[rustic lynx]

Honestly the only scene I remember from D-Frag is the button popping off her jacket

[buoyant lake]

It's the special Bubba

[normal hare]

oh

didn't see that part

[buoyant lake]

iconic

I just remember it being a very stupid funny show

Like that one show with the girls using their literal butt power

[normal hare]

keijo!

[buoyant lake]

The one with 8 ! marks

YEAH

[normal hare]

peak fiction

my friend told me it was unironically good

[buoyant lake]

It is!!

It's ridiculous but that's part of what makes it great

[rustic lynx]

Also just noticed JC Staff took #1 on my top rated studio

I blame Hibike

[normal hare]

man dropped hibike cause of the yuri bait

i didn't know you could check by studios

[rustic lynx]

https://anime.plus/KoiTao

I use this website

Just change my username into yours

[normal hare]

wtf there's a stats page for mal

amazing

to this day i have no idea why i went with deepfriedbeef

[rustic lynx]

And contrary to popular belief, my bottom 2 are...

[normal hare]

tbf most ecchi harem shows are meant to be trashy

rarely will you get an actual good one

[rustic lynx]

idktbhprollyanod

[normal hare]

like highschool dxd highschool of the dead to love ru

and i can't think of much else

[gilded ember]

as a certified gooner, you gotta dig deep my bro

[rustic lynx]

To Love-Ru peaked when Momo was the MC and not Lala

[normal hare]

https://tenor.com/view/shock-fate-zero-rin-tohsaka-what-huh-gif-17180893

i guess you could throw in food wars

not quite harem but close enough

[gilded ember]

this one is a classic

[normal hare]

lmfao

[rustic lynx]

To Love-Ru (Lala FMC): 6.97
Motto To Love-Ru (Lala FMC): 7.26
Darkness (Momo FMC): 7.41
Darkness 2 (Momo FMC): 7.42

Math checks out

[normal hare]

i wasn't gonna mention it

but

yeah i guess

[normal hare]

i never actually watched it my friend is just a superfan

so he's been telling me about it for years

[rustic lynx]

The Darkness opening is

[normal hare]

oh hey i have kyoani 2nd as well

yeah madhouse is just the goat

[rustic lynx]

Bubba really rated Highschool of the Dead a 20

[gilded ember]

i should put my finished shows on mal but idk how to rate them

[rustic lynx]

Rate them per episode like I do and grab the average after you finish the show

[gilded ember]

u know i aint got time for that

[normal hare]

it's just something you kinda

build up over the years

i've had to re-rate some stuff as time has gone by

[gilded ember]

its hard to rewatch shows nowadays

[normal hare]

i mean i just go off what i remember

rewatching shows completely change your experience

usually

if time has gone by

[gilded ember]

like look how much stuff i still need to watch/finish

[rustic lynx]

squints

Wait I know this app

[normal hare]

ain't no way you keep track of stuff on mobile

[gilded ember]

its aniyomi

[normal hare]

i'm aware

[gilded ember]

u can track it

[normal hare]

i rarely use my phone for any anime stuff

unless it's on youtube

[rustic lynx]

Here's my MyGo per-episode rating

Speaking of MyGo, I bet Bubba hasn't finished it

[normal hare]

hey now

i'm at ep 6

that's very good progress

[rustic lynx]

You're about to hit Episode 7

[normal hare]

6 more than i watched a week ago

i'm slowly getting my powers back

anon is hard carrying so far

[gilded ember]

so where do u keep track

[normal hare]

wdym i just add them to mal whenever i finish

[gilded ember]

ahh i see

[normal hare]

show your 10s, they define the quality of your taste

[rustic lynx]

I like to keep mine updated and I also use an extension that auto +1 an episode when I finish

So I can look at shit like this and go "Wow, I really speedran that one show"

Also 2012

[normal hare]

i only just started keeping track of the dates i watched stuff

i completely forgot that was a feature

just have to rely on my memory to remember

[gilded ember]

whats sayonara no asa

[normal hare]

maquia

is the english name

it's a movie

[rustic lynx]

Da Capo is underrated fr 😭

[normal hare]

made me cry like a batch

[rustic lynx]

+3 differential is wild

[normal hare]

yeah i don't even know what that show is 😭

some random ass 2000s show

i know prime would be proud of me

[rustic lynx]

People hate it cause the art style didn't age well and it definitely got that early 2000s look

https://tenor.com/view/otome-asakura-yume-asakura-asakura-otome-asakura-yume-da-capo-gif-27493407

[normal hare]

thank god those big ass eyes will be lost to time

i blame that for people not wanting to watch clannad

[gilded ember]

what's the lowest rating you've given a show

[normal hare]

I gave trinity seven a 2

[rustic lynx]

I don't think you have to ask me that and which one it is

It's one of Bubba's faves

[normal hare]

still one of the best harems to this day

wasted on the wrong guy

[normal hare]

-5.93

[rustic lynx]

Bro Brynhildr had so much potential

It was kinda like Elfen Lied in a sense

[rustic lynx]

I wanted to love Isekai Ojisan and I really had a lot of fun the early episodes

But the constant delays the subsequent episodes got just killed the vibes of the show for me

[normal hare]

it kinda ran its course for me after a few eps

[gilded ember]

oh damn i wasnt that interested since its an isekai was it that good

[normal hare]

it's a reverse isekai

basically this uncle gets sent back to this world

after getting isekai'd

and he keeps his power

i mean it's a fun idea

just kinda got bored after awhile

[rustic lynx]

Like damn, it was doing pretty well for me until it got delayed for a whole month iirc

[gilded ember]

look i promised to watch a couple of shows this season and its been going well man

i think im watching 5 shows this season atm

solo leveling, apothecary diaries, ave mujica, elf-san, and shangri la frontier

[rustic lynx]

Didn't notice Grisaia is back this season

[gilded ember]

ye but 6.6 rating on mal is yikes

[rustic lynx]

The global MAL average is 6.5 so it's a little above average score

[gilded ember]

that aint cutting it for me to watch the whole series

[rustic lynx]

Fair enough, stats show my cutoff atm is 6.71 since that's the lowest rated show that I enjoyed

[gilded ember]

i will forever only have 1 show that i enjoyed below a 6.5 rating and its koi to uso

oh its her bday also

[rustic lynx]

Yooo Shine Post represent

Underrated idol show

Got underlooked because it aired at the same time as Love Live Superstar S2

https://tenor.com/view/shinepost-kyouka-idol-anime-anime-wink-gif-26378608

[gilded ember]

idol shows aint my thing i gotta be honest with u

[normal hare]

girl band anime reskinned

[rustic lynx]

Idol shows paved the way for girl band shows

Why do you think Gigguk think they are the same

[normal hare]

yeah i'm not comparing them

i just wonder why he doesn't like them

[rustic lynx]

The first idol show was technically not even an idol show, it was a Mecha

[normal hare]

cause they're very similar

it's just the genre of music that's different

[rustic lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/dancing-cute-anime-macross-delta-gif-15278780

[gilded ember]

band animes got more plot than idol animes nowadays

i just get bored

[rustic lynx]

They literally both start off with the center of the band/group either old band/group disbanding or just cause the MC felt like it, drama ensues within the group, everyone makes up for one big finale musical ending

Then they roll a 20-sided die and if they hit a nat20, they get a 2nd season

[sullen pine]

Tbf MyGO and Ave Mujica made the drama more dramatic than most others

[rustic lynx]

That's what makes them so peak

[sullen pine]

But yeah the structure is the same

[rustic lynx]

MyGo

Tbh there is that new Love Live bluebird show thingy that might go the depression route like Bandori recently

[sullen pine]

In other idol/band animes you don't hear theories about religious worshipping or codependency, dead twins or other mental health issues lmaooooo

[sullen pine]

Let's see where they will go

[rustic lynx]

Ave Mujica

[gilded ember]

these idol animes are probably just some side hustle stuff cuz most of their profits are from concerts and irl stuff

[sullen pine]

Ironically the religious worshipping was a mygo theory lmao

Yes the anime just promotes them

But it's nice to see effort put in

[rustic lynx]

Ain't no way

I'm fine with taking their time with it, it's gonna bring so many more fans

I know the op manga is better paced and consistent but the anime reaches some peaks that are even better than the original

TV Anime "WITCH WATCH" is scheduled to begin APRIL 6, 2025 ; Opening Theme performed by YOASOBI.

Broadcasting for 02 consecutive cours. Animation Production: Bibury Animation Studios.

X · Feb 13, 2025, 9:13 AM

i wanna ask, did yoasobi make oshi no ko popular?

[normal hare]

It definitely helped but it was not the reason

Everyone was there for the 1 hour premiere, song didn't really gain traction until a bit later

[gilded ember]

are we talking like blue box popularity before the anime?

[sullen pine]

yoasobi busy lately

[ebon thunder]

I think it's the other way around...

[austere skiff]

both are incorrect

yoasobi and oshi no ko (the manga) were big

akasaka and mengo were also both big in their own right before that

[normal hare]

i'd say more, onk was popular for a couple of years

i didn't really see many people talking about blue box until like last year

also I think it's also fair to say both onk and yoasobi made each other even more popular worldwide at least

mutually beneficial

[austere skiff]

yes

psy calling himself a one hit wonder moment

you can just keep going up

[gilded ember]

yea i dont think yoasobi got put on the mainstream for idol because weren't they insanely popular already since like 2020 right?

[normal hare]

I mean yeah they were very popular

but they reached true global popularity with idol

[austere skiff]

yoasobi and ado is just what happens when japan actually decides to use 1% of their power to market internationally

[silk bridge]

new dr stone season was slow start but its getting better

another one started? they make them so fast

yeah season 4 is about 5 eps in

https://tenor.com/view/anime-crying-love-live-school-idol-project-gif-11532139

[silk bridge]

what site do you watch on

ive started watching jojos btw, tried once and didnt get into it but enjoying it so far

[azure ravine]

used to watch on hianime, but found a dif one yesterday. the way this site works is horrible, but atleast the vids run without any problem

[silk bridge]

ohhhh

youre a working man now just pay for crunchyroll

its so cheap

[azure ravine]

finished the recent fairy tail anime yesterday and catching up to detective conan now

[azure ravine]

the amount of subs i got

havent had cruncy for years, it used to miss most of the anime. idk if it is still the case

[normal hare]

Yeah Netflix is probably still the best and even that isn't complete either

[azure ravine]

netflix bad

[silk bridge]

i have both tbf and can always find what i need between the two

[azure ravine]

has at the very most 2 anime of the new seasons and that is even months behind

[silk bridge]

also introducing gf to fma:b because she hasnt seen it

and it was back on netflix recently

[normal hare]

Peak

I've appreciated brotherhood more as time has gone on

[silk bridge]

it was funny because 1 minute in she was like "im gonna hate this bc its more cartoon-y than anime" but now we're like 4-5 eps in and shes hooked

once you get the initial backstory its so easy to get invested

[normal hare]

Oh cartoon-y just wait till she gets deeper...

This is one of the shows that you show to people that say anime is for children

It starts off very shounen esque

[silk bridge]

yeppp

[normal hare]

But gets quite dark as the show goes on

[silk bridge]

we watched shou tucker ep last night

it honestly nearly brings me to tears

[normal hare]

[silk bridge]

scars greatest moment

[azure ravine]

yeah, i won't get much out of crunchyroll

[normal hare]

Yea I use that

[silk bridge]

oof

[dull drum]

🤝

[azure ravine]

the show is at ep 1154 or something like that atm

[silk bridge]

it's only a little bit behind then

[gilded ember]

yep animepahe and aniplay are my goto's

[azure ravine]

did watch dandadan through netflix, show started really good, but wasn't a fan of the rest

[dull drum]
