normal hare
i think i'm just super particular on which tsunderes i enjoy nowadays, need a good balance of it
gilded ember
||also nico is a bit too tsun but i still like her||
||she's not that super tsun since she still recognized yuu's doings instead of being ignorant about it||
normal hare
||yeah it's just every small interaction she's blushing like heck and getting so flustered||
these are my golden standards for tsunderes
i'd say tsunderes are hard to pull off, they've got incredibly low floors, but when done right they got the highest of ceilings
gilded ember
i like kuuderes and danderes more
normal hare
danderes i'm usually super lukewarm, i think kuuderes can be good but a lot of them end up a bit boring
C.C, tomoyo, ryou, mikasa, kanade some good ones from what i can rmb
primal estuary
me?
normal hare
i think if i had to pick one it's either hinata from naruto or sakura from fate
normal hare
That's why i said low floor high ceiling, really easy to mess it up
Battle royale with mages and historical figures combined with ufotable budget, doesn't get better than that
In general writing characters as just straight up tropes usually not a good building block in modern anime, good to adopt some traits but not make their entire character that trope
Just different times now
he's a complete tyrant but has respect for loyalty and bravery, like when he fought rider and let waver live
akaza from demon slayer is about as close of a modern day example i can compare
normal hare
not a school setting 
gilded ember

wait no it doesnt, there's a shit ton of adult yuri mangas

it's like the same way you can say there are a lot of adult romance anime
just the majority are set in school

normal hare
Yeah, but we get more highschool than we do those

mikadono sisters anime is way funnier and better than I expected it to be from the initial 1-2 episodes 😄
boreal rover
three cat-like fanged tsundere characters is def a treat lol
I've warmed up to the visuals too
gilded ember
what's wrong with the visuals tho
normal hare
just an artstyle preference, took me an episode to get used to it
gilded ember
its clean i like it
normal hare
moreso than the general artstyle i guess more of the character designs actually
everyone kinda looks wide

azure ravine
@normal hare was going to wait till i was caught up to where the anime ended, but the way things are progressing... evert bit is different. || he just enderd elven kingdom now and instead of him having to argue his way through all the rascism between races in the anime. here in the novel none of that is actually happening. atleast nowhere near to a notable extend. besides this every thing else up to this point has been very different aswel. like characters and locations are the same, but the way things are occuring, conversations etc is all different. they really betrayed what an amazing writing this is in the anime||
normal hare
<@278059184946282508> was going to wait till i was caught up to where the anime ...
||can't speak too much no the early novel, i only swapped to the novel from the manhwa further down the line, did hear a lot about how the weak the start of the novel is so that adds up, iirc the manhwa did that have that part where art was talking about the racism thing, the author was involved in the manhwa adaptation so probably wanted to change it himself, just one of those series where he just learned to write better over the course of the books||
azure ravine
guess he decided to add more character and details
normal hare
yeah not the first time i've seen an author learn as they continue to write
the manhwa and anime definitely have all the added improvements into earlier arcs
azure ravine
yeah there are def added scenes in the anime not present here, but also missing some, which i was actually asking while watching, but only answerd here in the novel

none of this was in the anime

bunny girl s2 ep 5
||that touko kirishima girl is much more of a threat than i thought she was gonna be, seems like ikumi's "present" came in handy
also did i miss this lore about sakuta not getting a phone at all? mind explaining that to me?||
boreal rover
||sakuta not having a phone comes from the first season and the fact that his sister's condition was due to primarily online bullying by her classmates, so he threw his phone into the ocean out of frustration and concern for his sister getting triggered by the presence of a phone||
also you sure you don't mean episode 4?
the light novel has so much more in-depth dialogue for some of the scenes, it's a bit sad that some of it gets cut in the anime, but I understand
somehow I doubt we'll get the full story behind ||kirisihima|| in this season given the pacing, as bubba said before, it'll likely get tied up into a 1.5-2hr movie after to end the series.
gilded ember

You mean the girl that had the weakest character development of them all?
Facts my sister, spit yo shit indeed
gilded ember
damn i was just tryna instigate 😭
rustic lynx
Still better than RaG tho 
gilded ember
no because why is miku explaining to me how to math
normal hare
You mean the girl that had the weakest character development of them all?
or maybe just the one that tried to step back from the spotlight cause she didn't want to fight her sisters for his love, she was the main girl that was genuinely interested in trying to make fuutarou happy, whilst the others were constantly fighting to make their feelings apparent
even when she had every right
boreal rover
https://x.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1949733405618266267?t=PIJcZwvq8SoPCrozl-DZOw&...
pretty quick wrap-up
but I guess you can't drag out this kind of thing for too long
otherwise you end up like nisekoi >_>
or RaG
rustic lynx
otherwise you end up like nisekoi >_>
Nisekoi better because they didn't go with the "Childhood friend from the past" trope unlike what Quint did
Who tf cares if you gave him ice cream 10 years ago 
boreal rover
okay but to be fair the entire plot of nisekoi is about trying to find the childhood friend from the past that the MC had made a promise to/with, like a good 2/3rd of it anyway (manga not necessarily the anime), they even introduce FOUR key holder girls, which is just love hina but somehow worse as a harem, even if the eventual winner was pretty clear within the first 50 chapters.
I still have a soft spot for nisekoi but mostly thanks to Shaft's animation and commiesubs amazing subtitles shenanigans lol
boreal rover
this yuri is too aggressive for my liking to follow weekly, but I'll watch it after this season ends lol
but the budget is high and they captured the look from the LN and Manga illustrations really well for an anime
almost just as detailed
||Mai teaching Renako how to love bomb and seduce girls turned her into a harem slayer, probably not the outcome she expected lol||
||feelsbad for Ajisai||
rustic lynx
This is what Sasakoi anime could've been
normal hare
Who tf cares if you gave him ice cream 10 years ago <:KEKW:653926723607592973>
Except that's literally not the only thing but yotsuba was the one who supported him from the beginning while the rest of the girls did everything to make his life difficult
You can be mad that your favorite girl didn't win but she was the only one that made sense
Hell I wanted nino to win but there was no big justification for her to win over any of the other girls
At the end of the day not only was yotsuba the og childhood friend, but she was the girl that was constantly concerned over his and her sisters happiness rather than her own feelings
I was a bit on the fence back then when it was revealed she was the one but as time has gone on its only made more sense
boreal rover
aside from copout harem endings, the choice often makes a lot of sense in retrospect when looking at the plot progression, unless the author/mangaka is a hack
though to be fair writing a harem story in the first place is being a bit of a hack lol
gilded ember
a hack?
boreal rover
normal hare
yeah i don't really put harems and romances in the same category cause they just function so differently
harems are like isekai, kind of a quick way to get some popularity but there are some that can be really good quality
boreal rover
in my view, romantic comedy harems are best when they try to do lighthearted comedy and slice of life rather than "serious" romance and endless string of misunderstandings and coincidences and missed encounters
otherwise yeah romance (whether comedy or not) and harems are too functionally different despite the various overlaps
gilded ember
so what ur saying is harem is the junkfood of the romance genre?
normal hare
essentially
it's a lot easier to make for more interesting interactions cause several love interests, and also an easy way to write in conflict
also just like how being overpowered in an isekai is a power fantasy, having multiple love interests in a romance is just a love fantasy
boreal rover
and then you have isekai harems just for that excessive dose of junk food
like Arifureta
normal hare
arifureta is so funny in hindsight, i genuinely enjoyed that was when i was younger
overly broken, overly edgy, crazy harem
boreal rover
I don't think the anime ever finished the story but I also enjoyed that show more than I should have
normal hare
it's a guilty pleasure of mine
it just got so ridiculous after awhile that it became entertaining
boreal rover
it was never frustrating storywise, which I think was a major plus for an isekai that was also a harem lol
but I would still never recommend it to anybody else to watch haha
maybe after they've watched 100-200 shows they can give it a try as junkfood
normal hare
oh i have a friend who consumes isekai no matter what the quality, he just enjoys turning off his brain and he'll watch any of them
so i just recommended it to him lmao
and he liked it
i respect it atp that's a way of life
normal hare
in my view, romantic comedy harems are best when they try to do lighthearted com...
honestly i was thinking about this, i do agree, but also couldn't the same be said about regular romances, i'm not sure when the misunderstandings have enhanced the experience
boreal rover
I don't think they enhance the experience generally, but a few here and there does allow some tension buildup. Harems just overuse it for 200+ chapters and the plot progression and character development go nowhere.
normal hare
yeah i'd say for both i'm fine with a bit of misunderstanding but i've also seen both genres take it too far
like amongst my favorites romances they either don't really use that like blue box, or it's used in a comedic sense like in love is war
boreal rover
I am curious what A-1 will do with their next animation project for kaguya-sama
because the chapters they have already adopted for s1-3 and the movie were basically the best parts of the story
everything after is more drama less comedy
they may have to wrangle out a cohesive conclusion from those remaining 140ish chapters
normal hare
as someone who has stuck to the anime i have not heard the best things about the rest of the manga
honestly i'm pretty content with how the movie ended and i really don't need more
s3 + movie got to have one of the best peaks in anime period
it was just such a great buildup and payoff
boreal rover
I also stuck to the anime until the end of the movie and had not read the manga, and was really happy I did because the payoff without being spoiled beforehand was def worth it.
but decided to look at the rest after to some extent, mostly using this fanproject site https://guya.cubari.moe/

@normal hare the more i read beginning of the end, the more i feel like i have already read this.
not so far yet, but from my memory next up would be: || going to school, getting invaded by stupid powerfull demons destroying the whole continent who came from some far away island, mc and family hiding somewhere, him revealing his reincarnation and identity then going to the dragon world and training there. || if this is that book, that would be roughly where i dropped it. || somewhere during dragon training he was in some forest and towards the end of that i stopped||

anime chat i have a question, are OVAs canon?
normal hare
haven't seen any filler OVAs myself but all the ones i've watched are canon
https://myanimelist.net/anime/38349/Wotaku_ni_Koi_wa_Muzukashii_OVA just off the top of my head
Like a lot of shows have side stories that don't go into the main season but they still contribute to the plot so it's canon
gilded ember
ah i see so it depends on the show if they decide to make OVAs canon or filler
normal hare
ah some ova fillers i can think of are probably highschool dxd
just pure fan service episodes
austere skiff
OVA's are typically either stuff that cut from the storyboard of the actual release, or more commonly an adaptation of a manga side story (e.g. attack on titan ova's)
or sometimes its an extra episode cause they dont want to commit to making a full series

normal hare
no it doesn't really
it was also during covid, so if you're someone who doesn't like watching movies not in cinemas
probably didn't see it
you could probably say that about shounen movies
dragon ball and naruto are basically all fillers
naruto the last movie and boruto being the exceptions
broly being canon

mugen train was the first big one

Dropped it at the part where dude is just at the train station and it keeps looping
Sangatsu was a weirder one cause I did enjoy the 8 eps or so that I watched but I wasn't moved to like continue watching

This is how I imagine people who don't want to read one piece feel like

normal hare
It's not bad per se, just the most average watch of my life
austere skiff
but i guess i was in school so valued my time less
normal hare
And like once u get thru 24 episodes of average stuff you really don't feel like continuing
Like I broke my 3 episode rule for this
normal hare
I haven't really gotten through part 2 yet

but id give part 4 a shot

Just finished part 1 and watched a bit of part 2 but I got off track
That was 4 years ago
Yeah that's where I mainly come from
Yeah the memes keep u in it
Can always appreciate speedwagon

i think meme has kinda died out sadly
was sort of like rickrolling/losing the game

||the father is already portrayed pretty villainously in the anime, but he's somehow worse early on in the manga. it may also explain the lack of a mother figure given how he views girls and women. also he's likely in charge of the MC's mother's assets and convinced her to let him live with his family while he manages those assets.||

||i see, again this is typical asian parent behavior lol||
boreal rover
LN adaptations are always a gamble
you never know how it'll go
if they instead use the manga as storyboards, then it might not be so bad
it's a typical school comedy romance harem so don't get your hopes up too much
with the twist that the MC is not a typical harem MC, he basically starts at the top of his game as a womanizer
they got some top tier VAs for the girls though
normal hare
worst case scenario it's just a read the ln angle
dialogue is such a big part in novels that i rarely see it get replicated well in anime
i rmb for cote they completely ruined kiyo's character by making him incredibly deadpan and having no internal monologue
boreal rover
https://myanimelist.net/anime/59517/Chitose-kun_wa_Ramune_Bin_no_Naka
that is some serious voice acting names for this anime, and it's studio feel so they know how to do school comedy romance harems lol
normal hare
yosuga no sora that checks out
gilded ember
i think ln adaptations are great in the romance genre because everything needs to get explained especially with how they interact with ppl
normal hare
when it's done right you get absolute magical experience
like makeine
days with stepsis too
it's why i'm such a big ln guy because although it can easily be messed up, it's got some very high highs
oregairu is still untouched for me to this day

bubba that ice cream scene is still insane to this day lmao

depended on whether people came into the manga from the anime or not

bubba that ice cream scene is still insane to this day lmao
dudes actually took their time to animate that one
i respect the craft
normal hare
also remember when nisekoi ended lol that was quite a fun time as well
i was heated for days when i read it back then
quints was also pretty bad
the nino and miku army were at arms only for both to lose
boreal rover
it's why cop-out harem endings or the newer routes endings became so popular, you can't piss off your fanbase and need to sell volumes and merch still lol
normal hare
harem ending 
i remember koi to uso changed the ending to make two routes
but i think it was pretty obvious who was supposed to win
cause the "losing" girl's ending just felt off and forced
boreal rover
all harem manga/anime are just visual novels in disguise after all, routes ending feels like the way to please everybody but also please nobody because of how forced some of them feel
normal hare
true, fate is the best harem anime after all
boreal rover
I respect an author who puts their foot down on who is going to win tbh despite the shitshow it causes
as long as it makes SOME sense in retrospect
gilded ember
its pretty insane how nobody talks about saekano for it being the highest rated harem show
normal hare
LMAO not the censor 😭
gilded ember
had too lmao
normal hare
the manga version of it is actually pretty good too
saekano just feels like one of those lost in its time animes
boreal rover
saekano was only harem in name, it was pretty clear from like the very start that ||Megumi|| would win
boreal rover
yeah it was a good anime
but look at its viewership, it wasn't actually watched by too many
even in Japan
compared to like quints or nisekoi or date a live or similar
normal hare
it's still crazy to me how popular date a live still is
i understood its popularity back then but as a show nowadays
just doesn't hold up
especially when there are other better ecchi harem shows
dxd, to love ru, etc.
boreal rover
even the spinoffs for date a live were super popular there lol
I guess it just made for really good waifu bait anime
a lot of merch were sold
gilded ember
the girls are pretty insanely designed for a reason
normal hare
yeah character designs are usually really good
but man it was a rough watch even back then
i somehow made it 8 episodes in
gilded ember
i watched a few episodes, it somewhat had a similar premise to kaiju no 8 lol
ebon thunder
they also cut one of my favorite panels of this chapter lol
The boy is the taller one, right?

the thing is that their canon heights are 172cm and 160cm, but in the manga and the anime, the height difference for just that is sooooo exaggerated 😄

normal hare
not uncommon, with anime you can kinda stop after an episode but with a movie you feel obliged to sit through the whole thing at once
you do miss out on quite a bit with their family, but i hope you at least didn't skip the 1st movie

i didn't really feel like i missed anything major, the only thing was probably ||kaede finally going outside||

waguri's va just keeps on delivering
literally 1 to 1 how i expected her to sound it's scary
gilded ember
actually its definitely a good counter whenever you don't know what the other person is thinking you just go "sorry for intruding man" or some shit like that
normal hare
it makes perfect sense for his character cause he's always been walking on nails and just blaming everything on himself growing up
and then waguri is just too nice for her own good
cloverworks really been delivering with the big 3 i'm getting all sorts of emotional experiences watching them this summer
gilded ember
||true rintaro's trauma does have a cause for the apologizing everytime a word comes out of his mouth||
ah shit spoilers mb
||its not a trauma but more of a stereotype actually||
normal hare
I think where it gets a bit too much is later on in the manga ||where rintaro's friends and waguri's friends meet up, and then everyone just takes turns apologizing to each other, like yeah it does make sense but these kids are waaaaaay too mature for their age ||
gilded ember
oh the cafe meetup lmao that shit was funny

ok here's my thoughts so far about turkey the "bowling" anime in 5 episodes so far:
putting aside the realism aspect here since it definitely wasn't planned thoroughly in the writing stages for this show, imma give it a pass though since its an anime original
the character drama for this show is actually pretty nice but my complaint is that what causes the drama is very inconsistent, like you'd definitely get my point once you even just start ep 1
for the main point of the story which is "bowling", at this point i think they just made it a side plot rather than a main one like it is still their objective but they are much more focused on the drama/development side of the story
overall do i recommend watching it? yea i actually do but don't expect anything for it to be higher expectation watch but rather watch it for the love of the game i suppose 🤷♂️
rustic lynx
I didn't even realize the Watari-kun adaptation was airing this season
Haven't watched it yet but is the anime that bad that it's not getting any attention at all?

I just wish AniList showed you start date and finish date like how MAL does it
Or am just pepega and can't find a way to show it

i contemplated switching a few years ago but was too lazy
also i customized my mal which took me a bit of time to learn so i stuck with it
rustic lynx
MAL vs AniList for ex.
normal hare
damn brother updates both
rustic lynx
I don't, I just import my MAL list from time to time
I do give props for AniList for having a decimal system though (because I myself use decimals on my ratings)
normal hare
I don't, I just import my MAL list from time to time
you can import? i had no idea
decimals do be a nice touch, whole numbers are just too big of a gap
it's a feeling really
normal hare
or you can do that lmao
rustic lynx
I rate episode-by-episode
normal hare
i just kinda have my own feels system so i can get stuff down pretty easily
7.6 just means it was good, close to very good but not quite there
rustic lynx
I do ep-by-ep to eliminate any end-of-show biases if the ending was shit or good
normal hare
i just adopted how mal rates stuff
rustic lynx
1-10 is fine if people actually understood that 5 is mid and not a 7 like most of what MAL users think
Tell that to majority of MAL users
normal hare
it's cause 5 and below is like drop territory so they've restructed their system to 6-10
just how some people view it
rustic lynx
I blame IGN
normal hare
that translates to "worst thing i've ever seen but not bad enough for me to drop it"
rustic lynx
IGN rated a Pokemon game a 7/10 and it got memed on because one of the cons they listed was "too much water" and now 7/10 is considered mid
normal hare
the whole numbers also don't kinda work for me cause i have like death note and hunter x hunter at 8, but a decimal score i'd probably give death note around a 7.8 and hunter x hunter something like 8.3-8.4
but they both round down and up to 8
rustic lynx
It also resulted in ratings getting overinflated because good shows get rated a 9 when it's supposed to be great category
normal hare
so like even though they both land at the same score i like one a lot more than the other
all just feelscraft at the end of the day how you rate stuff
yeah that's just my way to differentiate stuff
if mal had it
it's weird cause like the average score for shows is decimal but each individual's input is a whole number
like might as well just let everyone input decimals
yeah at the end of the day it's just a feels estimate, some people just like putting a lot of thought into it
i just think of a number that sounds right and put it in and never look back
rustic lynx
My WataNare ratings so far
