it would be funny to see how time travel and time rewind stories slowly progress. It used to be 1960s, then 1980s. I guess 1990-2000s nowadays lmao?

2000s

[hot notch]

Normally people would refer to that at 00s or 2000s not 20s.

Especially considering we are currently in a 20s

[ionic schooner]

How many animes start with "reincarnated as a"

[fair wedge]

1 too many probably

[next crescent]

many too many

but there's a point to their titles too i suppose

since they tend to come from light novels/manga that are titled that way to help explain the plot for anyone who wants to read them

[ionic schooner]

Reincarnated as a poop, pooped out to solve racism

!!!

They always solve racism and sexism and other political problems in the funny isekai animes

[next crescent]

?

[topaz linden]

Animes? Not that many (tho you'll find many more if you include any with "reincarnation" in their title somewhere)
It's a very common title in manga tho

[hot notch]

I just watched the first Eureka 7 Hi-Volution movie and all I'm left to is ask is....

What was the point?

Like that entire movie seemed completely pointless. It literally went nowhere.

[craggy mango]

https://tenor.com/view/kento-nanami-nanami-jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-gif-14725672049705265578

that episode

showcases just how terrifying he is

and it's wonderful

[fair wedge]

Jjk needs hurry tf up so I can start watching

[next crescent]

like he literally just has ||no fucks left to give and goes on a rampage that's probably the most horrifying thing i've seen in the show because he's ruthless and merciless in his endeavor to get information from fuckboy mcgee||

and the way they like

do the shading on him

in those scenes

is immaculate

[fair wedge]

Who is fuqboi mcgeee

[next crescent]

him

[fair wedge]

Oh

Sword man

[next crescent]

the guy who can basically like

continue to live after dying

like a cat

[fair wedge]

He can?

The more you know

[fair wedge]

Ah

[next crescent]

i think he lost one from s1, no?

[fair wedge]

Idk

Think he ran away

With plant man

[next crescent]

oh 😭

anyway

the shading they put on him is insane and really aids in how menacing he is

and i love it

nanami in serious mode is terrifying

this is the face of a man who has ||almost nothing left to lose after the deaths of some of his students/comrades||

I'm just 5'8 if I stand up the tallest I can be

[fair wedge]

you forgot yo put on heels

[long peak]

i cant believe we have toddlers in the anime channel this is so sad

[topaz linden]

Tis a nice height, ngl

[shadow knot]

could've been worse

[topaz linden]

tall enough that people will notice if pointed out, but not so tall that people can't help but notice

[shadow knot]

no actually if I'm 5'10 I'd be happy with that

[long peak]

im fine with being 5'11 but i want that extra inch

[shadow knot]

how about you become 5'10 by giving me that inch

[long peak]

cause i would die if i was shorter than my friend

[next crescent]

this reminds me, i went to the store today and there was a guy who was probably 7'1

[long peak]

shaq is tiny compared to wemby and ming though

[topaz linden]

Without giving much spoiler detail, ShanFro gonna reach peak by the end of first cour

you can tell she's ancient by the fact she uses an old beyblade

Part 4, 7, 8 and imo 2 beat it out

Also 6's final sequence is way better

[shadow knot]

the fights carried 5

[long peak]

5 had good fights but the rest wasn't great, true

[ionic schooner]

@topaz linden checked out teamoon empire synopsis

I'm so binging this when it fully done

It sounds so goofy

Like it sounds like goofy re zero

[topaz linden]

She only dies once everything else is just her attempts to not have to do that again
Think of it more like if Bakarina had Ainz's power of "all according to plan" luck and accidental charisma

[ionic schooner]

[topaz linden]

Also the narrator constantly shit talks her

Only watched three-ish episodes so far (haven't had time to catch up), but im a big fan of the book and the anime looks like a pretty good adaption

[ionic schooner]

💀

If I do the math

It will be like 2-3 months until the anime is done

So I'll wait until then

[fair wedge]

why are there so many anime bruh

i keep finding new ones to add to my planned list

like wth

[ionic schooner]

Fr

[fair wedge]

i got 32 on my planned list rn

and almost all of those are current season shows

wtfff

[shadow knot]

just give yourself higher standards and your ptw can drop down

[long peak]

Just read manga, it's faster

You can read all of one piece in 2-3 months

[ionic schooner]

How long is anime one piece

💀

[long peak]

Longer because they do a million recaps

[topaz linden]

As of October, ~359 hours of video.
So if you did nothing but watch One Piece from the minute you wake up til the moment you sleep (assuming 8 hours of sleep), it'd take 15 days.

[long peak]

Don't watch the fucking anime

Watch certain fights and like that's it

[fair wedge]

their almost at 1.1K eps

but like almost half of that is filler

[long peak]

They adapt literally 0.8 chapters per episode

[fair wedge]

xD

[long peak]

They do filler arcs but it's not half

[fair wedge]

i said almost*

huehuehue

[long peak]

It's not even a quarter

It's about a 40 ish difference from the chapters themselves

Like gear 5 was chapter 1043 and the episode was like 1077

[topaz linden]

About a chapter per episode 💀

[long peak]

Yeah its bad

They literally stretch a fight for 22 EPISODES

Ayo aot anime has ended?

Or is there more

[topaz linden]

As far as I understand it, memes aside, the release today was the ending.

[raven trail]

Okk got it

I left it at season 4 part 1

Time to continue finally

[edgy bone]

i kinda wanna binge the whole thing

I read the manga as it was coming out and due to it being monthly releases I kinda forgot a lot of the details inbetween waiting for a new chapter to come out

[dusty fable]

I left it at season 2 part 1, good riddance

[short gulch]

yea i hvent watched part 6 yet

[short gulch]

is there any place i can get the english version of jojo part 7 manga?

i cant find the english version

[edgy bone]

just google

[short gulch]

[edgy bone]

[ionic schooner]

AOTS DONE?

NO FINAL EPISODE PART 3 OF FINAL SEASON?

But like

Isn't myne bad

[mighty cape]

shes a bitch and amber heard basically

[ionic schooner]

Yeah

[ember cairn]

no

now we wait for the Levi manga adaptation

[ionic schooner]

💀

[ember cairn]

I actually wouldnt be mad if we got a romance manga about Gabi and Falco

[dusty fable]

guys, can you suggest any manga (or manhwa or other types) that has really interesting story?

something that was not aired as anime

[topaz linden]

Hm, time to trawl through the spreadsheet

[dusty fable]

a huge plus if it has mindgames of any kind, but it's not necessary

like, for example, I would consider ShangriLa a manga that has mindgames, so my definition is pretty broad

[topaz linden]

If AI Ruled the World (Manwha): A series of loosely connected "Black Mirror"-esque stories that look at the ways a future society is affected by AI, whose plots gradually begin to cross and collide as the story progresses. [Complete]

Love Score (Manga): A short and somewhat disturbing exploration of a possible future in which dating and compatability are determined entirely by algorithm, rather than trial and error. [Complete]

A Stepmother's Marchen (Manwha): Historical setting time regression story set in a very realistic medival European society. Lots of historical-style politics and strategizing, as well as some real heart to it. My personal all-time favorite. [Ongoing]

The Abandoned Empress (Manwha): Thematically, this is more or less a Otome isekai that realized the "isekai" part wasn't needed for an interesting romantic/political drama. An Feels like a historical drama rather than a pure romance series, which is a refreshing take on the genre's usual tropes. [Complete]

Afterschool War Activities (Manwha): A dark, realistic take on war that mixes alien invasion with high schooler Full Metal Jacket. Structured as half-present day story, and half "documentary" footage after the war. [Complete]

Personally very much enjoyed all of these

[dusty fable]

Thanks! I'll check those out, all sound interesting. Unexpectedly, not many mangas

[dusty fable]

also, does the first one have a central plot (later on)?

[topaz linden]

It does, and all the stories feed into it

[long peak]

20th century boys, Pluto, vagabond, goodnight Punpun

[topaz linden]

A lot of the good manga I've read have gotten adapted already (also was trying to stick to completed series. If you like mind games tho, another good ongoing manwha is Regressor Instruction Manual. Dude's mindgames are on a other level lol)

[dusty fable]

great, I forgot that I prefer the stories with a (strong) central plot

[topaz linden]

Yee, if you've watched Oddtaxi, it's kinda that sorta thing, where the stories start spread out and gradually intersect as the pace of events quickens

[dusty fable]

Ahh, I was going to ask about why you chose Completed stories. That's like not an issue for me, since I rarely complete reading manga stories, so I am completely fine with incomplete stories

[topaz linden]

Ah, waiting for new chapters is a constant struggle for me, so I generally avoid passing it onto others

Also, would feel bad if I recommended something and it ended up with a shit ending later on lol

I can check through my currently reading folder if that's not an issue tho 👀

[dusty fable]

nah, I am totally fine with anything that has more than 70 entries. I usually read manga in binges of 100-200 chapters, then make a pause for 3-4-5 years then continue if I don't forget

[dusty fable]

Pluto sounds familiar. I'll check that

[topaz linden]

It's got an anime airing rn that's incredibly well done 👀

[dusty fable]

huh, I missed it since I don't watch ONA

Jeez, descriptions on MAL suck as usual

I would never read or watch pluto after that description, lol

why every description on MAL is so boring, even for interesting plots, like even Oshi no Ko

JakeFromStateFarm about to write a 10 terabyte essay in #・anime

[dusty fable]

Have you read SSS-Class Revival Hunter (the censorship lol, at least convenient)? I was planning to read it for a long time, but it sounds a bit generic

[topaz linden]

Ongoing Recommendations:
SSS-Class Revival Hunter (Manwha): Death world manwha, but the guy has a 24hr Re:Zero-esque ability to revive upon death. Character isn't a whiny incompetant ass like Subaru tho, so he uses this ability strategically to play the other characters and achieve the best possible outcome in each of the themed worlds/challenges humanity is out through. Absolutely incredible story, with emotional highs and haunting scenes. [Two seasons complete, 100 long chapters]

Make the Exorcist Fall in Love (Manga): MC is a "blessed" exorcist developed as a weapon against the devil by the church. Unable to beat him in one on one conflict, Satan sends a succubi in with a single task: Make the exorcist fall (in love). A game of temptation (sfw kind) and conflict of heart. [51 chapters out, but really good so far]

A Gate Opened on my First Day as a Politician: Monsters start emerging on a dude's first day as a parliament member. With most of the governmenr dead, he must navigate the conflicting interests to restore order while keeping dangerous rivals in check, while the rise of super powered hunters threatens to throw everything into chaos. [1 season complete, 52 chapters]

The Fable (Manga): MC's basically a mentally challenged John Wick. The Yakuza's best assassin tries to retire, but conflicts in the shadows threaten to spill over into his new life, forcing him back into action. A classic incredibly well done. [Complete, 240 chapters]

[long peak]

Oh, Lime, Id also recommend Leviathan

I'm not gonna do a whole essay but it's essentially mad Max on water with giant alien sea monsters invading earth

[shadow knot]

wtf jake reccing the fable is so rare

[topaz linden]

Cannot recommend it strongly enough. I'm loving it so much so far

[dusty fable]

A Gate Opened on my First Day as a Politician: Monsters start emerging on a dude's first day as a parliament member. With most of the governmenr dead, he must navigate the conflicting interests to restore order while keeping dangerous rivals in check, while the rise of super powered hunters threatens to throw everything into chaos. [1 season complete, 52 chapters]

THIS LMAO. This sounds pretty hilarious, but I wonder how long it lasts (well, I don't suppose it would fizzle out within 52 chapters)

[topaz linden]

It's surprisingly grounded tbh

[dusty fable]

have you watched Waterworld?

[topaz linden]

Dude's just a normal dude doing the reconstruction stuff that always just happens in the background/offscreen in these death worlds

No special powers of his own

[long peak]

I've heard about it, I imagine that's just mad Max on water

[topaz linden]

I'm not normally a fan of older manga, but its recent enough that its art style is passable and the story is really solid/well-paced.

[shadow knot]

ya I’m pretty sure it ended recently so I do wanna finish it eventually

really fun read

[topaz linden]

Older mangas tend to trigger uncanny valley stuff for me, so it was a nice find

[shadow knot]

mid 2010s manga is old for you?

[topaz linden]

but its recent enough that its art style is passable

Pre 2010ish is around the dividing line I think

[shadow knot]

mhmm

because for me old manga is around osamu tezuka era

[dusty fable]

ok, great. Definitely a bunch of interesting stuff. Also I suppose I'll finally get to read SSS-Guy

[dusty fable]

Did you see anime Gargantia?

[topaz linden]

Basically I just can't stand this era's art style

[shadow knot]

lmfaoo that’s shōjo manga jake

[long peak]

But yeah the art for leviathan is fucking crazy, and the horror aspects too are really well done

[shadow knot]

I’m also not a fan of it obviously

[dusty fable]

as for me, I am fine with any style, that's totally a non-decider for me

[topaz linden]

Yee, its just an uncanny valley thing for me

That period where they still tried to make their manga characters "realistic" rather than stylized

[dusty fable]

interesting, I'll check this too

[topaz linden]

Well, realistic but with wack proportions

[long peak]

As someone who has thassolophobia leviathan scared the hell out of me

[dusty fable]

I would assume this is a deep-water phobia?

[topaz linden]

You should play Subnautica

Yee, deep water phobia

[dusty fable]

nah, there is a recent game from Quantic Dream (I think?)

let me check

Yeah. Under the Waves

[topaz linden]

Havent checked that out yet 👀

[dusty fable]

it's LIT honestly.

[topaz linden]

Subnautica was great tho

[dusty fable]

and it's gone under the radars (pun intended)

which is unfortunate, but the atmosphere there is something unbelievable

And I have played stuff like Bioshock, SOMA, Subnautica, Sunless Sea etc

also it has all the typical ailments of Quantic Dream games. So if you played any of their games, you can probably guess what that means (which means the flow of storytelling is jagged, and there is a bunch of immersion breaking stuff that would ruin your experience if you fixate on it), but outside of those ailments it's a very worthy experience.

[shadow knot]

yeah because actual realistic char designs is a trend w/ seinen manga

shōjo manga is usually that moe-esque designs where weird proportions can be common

[long peak]

Soma depressed the fuck out of me when I played

[shadow knot]

I gotta play bioshock still

[dusty fable]

Under the Waves is more depressing than that. SOMA has an outlet of having a decent amount of SciFi stuff

[long peak]

Oh fun

[dusty fable]

do it. It's easily top3 story-driven FPS of this century

I still have Bioshock OST in my playlist, almost 20 years later. It's that good

funny enough, I would say at least 30% of Fontaine's inspiration comes from Bioshock probably

[ionic schooner]

Is bioshock the thing with the daddies

[dusty fable]

https://tenor.com/view/bioshock-bigdaddy-gif-13986464063651317486

yes, and creepy little girls

creepy little girls were all the rage at the time (FEAR, McGee's Alice, you name it)

[edgy bone]

not any specific titles but I recommend browsing the jump plus catalogue. It's shonen jump endorsed series that are only published on their site (as opposed to being printed in the physical magazine) . Ive noticed they tend to give jump plus authors a lot more leeway with genres/topics/pacing than they do the physical magazine, so you can find some p refreshing takes on the shonen formula (or stuff thats not a shonen at all) in there.

granted a lot of the popular ones from there just started getting anime adaptations in the past couple years, but theres still quite a lot that havent

also depending on your definition of no anime

I could give you some that have incomplete or really poor anime adaptations

[dusty fable]

that would work too

I was asking "no anime" mainly to avoid something I have already seen or have a potential to see anyway (simply to guarantee fresh titles that I have no knowledge about, but it's not a requirement really)

[edgy bone]

well magi is one of my all time favorite shonens

the anime only covered the begining part (which is the worst part, story is really slow)

but when the manga gets good it gets really good

the final arcs get really philosophical

[dusty fable]

hmmm, what do you mean the beginning part? I would say anime's start was great, like very good. And then it slowly deteriorated into a generic shonen, namely "story so far-> new enemies -> new enemy bosses -> our heroes acquire new skills against them" rinse and repeat.

[edgy bone]

like

everything the anime covered lol

magnostadt was the first really good arc imo

and that's the last arc in the anime

[dusty fable]

I was enjoying Magi a lot until Alibaba childhood arc (including it). Magnostadt I liked simply because I like the trope of Magic Schools. But everything after that was... kinda bad... imo.

[edgy bone]

oh you read the manga?

[dusty fable]

no, I am talking about anime

[edgy bone]

there was nothing after magnostadt tho

[dusty fable]

there was their take on three kingdoms (or chinese war vs mongols?)

[edgy bone]

that was still part of magnotstadt tho

[dusty fable]

and also the fights against giants

[edgy bone]

if you mean the war

giants?

[dusty fable]

well yeah, it run parallel to Magnostadt story

[shadow knot]

I just know magi had a mid ending

shōnen manga moment

[edgy bone]

i wouldnt say parallel, it transitioned into a war cuz of some politics stuff that i dont remember

like the school stuff was over at that point

[edgy bone]

it was cut short

the concept the author went with to end it was cool imo

just didnt have enough room to breathe

[shadow knot]

mhm

[edgy bone]

but yea other than that

I also remember really enjoying my kingdom binge

it has an anime that still does new seasons every once in a while but ive heard everyone say it's not good so I jumped straight to the manga

silent voice manga is a lot more detailed than the movie, I watched the movie after reading it and was displeased by just how much stuff they cut out

[dusty fable]

maybe it was the evil Jinny. Don't quite remember. I just barely remember that they had a sort of an epic fight in the ocean, and I think their opponent could suck the life out of everything and turn it into power or smth like that. Well, anyway, it was super epic and super boring

[edgy bone]

main things I liked about the arc was the whole artifical life subplot

and that it finally started to delve into the whole big historical mystery part of the lore

[dusty fable]

yeah that one was nice. I just didn't like the chinese subplot for the most part

[edgy bone]

naruhodone

im trying to think

wish I had a list of what I read lol

no one's mentioned berserk in here yet but I assume youve looked into it by now

ah

if you want a more grounded and adult take on romcom there's 365 days to the wedding

if you want pure depression there's boys abyss

there's jagaaaaan which is an action series but for adults , made by the same guy who made blue lock

[dusty fable]

yeah, Berserk was one of the first manga I have read

[edgy bone]

there was some mystery series I read I can't remember the name of

pain

if you like really well choreographed fights and aren't against nudity/sex jokes theres rosen garden saga

just be warned of the 18+ tag

[dusty fable]

It was Berserk, NANA, Gantz and Blam. And then Claymore. Damn, I started with all the dark stuff lol

[edgy bone]

it do be like that

ah right theres a new gantz series if you wanna read that

its been going since 2019 or so I think

if you like card games theres a really good grounded and realistic card game story for mtg , "destroy all of humanity, it can't be regenerated"

kakegurui manga has extremely good art, the plot quality is about the same as what the anime covered but just looking at all the art makes it worth it imo

[dusty fable]

choreographed fights sounds interesting. I would check that, I don't think I have seen that in manga, outside of sports boxing manga

[edgy bone]

it's a fighting tournament type deal

the art and the paneling are really good

but it's a lot of sex jokes and nudity so some people wouldnt like it

[dusty fable]

Kakegurui sounds fun, but don't think I am ready to appreciate it a third time after anime and dorama (honestly, live-action is great in its own right, I kinda enjoyed it even more than anime)

[edgy bone]

i never checked it out

[dusty fable]

well, it's a bit goofy, but after you get used to it, it's actually very enjoyable. Actors add their own flavor

[edgy bone]

the story itself is kinda meh imo, it's never managed to really make me tense in the same way kaiji did

[shadow knot]

kaiji is great

[edgy bone]

i miss kaiji

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1122317365259022426.webp?size=48&name=02pensive&quality=lossless

[shadow knot]

akagi comes close if not better in most departments

[edgy bone]

i should give that a go sometime

kinda forgot about it

but yea

other than this

[dusty fable]

I am okay with that, if it's not out of the context. Though I don't remember watching or reading stuff with nudity besides Berserk and Daughters of Mnemosyne, but I enjoyed both.

[edgy bone]

oh it's

like the whole context

it's the whole vibe of the series basically

[dusty fable]

yeah, basically Akagi got me into mahjong

I got to 3rd Dan on Tenhou, before leaving, lol

[edgy bone]

if you want slice of life with a really wholesome and heartwarming storyline there's the mute girl and her new friend

i think that's most of what I can think of from what I already read

I have a whole giant things of stuff to read if you want that lol

[dusty fable]

wdym

[ionic schooner]

omg komi!!!

[edgy bone]

ah if you like shonens and pokemon there's this really really well made fan manga called festival of champions

[edgy bone]

no not komi

this girl is actually mute

[dusty fable]

so what's up with the new series? How is it related to the original one?

[edgy bone]

from what I read so far (im like 1 year behind)

it's not really related, it's just the same premise

of people being teleported to the gantz dimension after they die and they have to fight for their lives to survive

this time all the charas are from medieveal japan

[dusty fable]

honestly, MTG is the ONLY CCG I like, lol, so I might check it

[edgy bone]

oh

please do

it's like

[raven trail]

Guys y’all liked aot ending?

[edgy bone]

the best tcg story ive ever seen

and ive watched most tcg anime

[dusty fable]

spoiler please. I might be bored enough someday to binge it

[raven trail]

Ohhh

Sorry

[edgy bone]

also the artist for this series also did a bunch of shorter series adapting stories from 4chan

[dusty fable]

what do you think about Wicross?

[edgy bone]

it's p fun

ah

wicross was the other one I liked yes

but I never finished it

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1117959905719099422.webp?size=48&name=taoSadge&quality=lossless

but this is really different

it's all taking place in real world 90s japan

and it references a lot of real world tcg play stuff that you dont see mentioned in other stories

[dusty fable]

huh, interesting. I basically was on the heels of 90's era of the MTG boom (Black Lotus, all the stuff, lmao). My personal involvment was during 2000-2010s, I even participated in a few local tourneys

[edgy bone]

keep it mind it was japan's experience of it

they didnt get the first few sets

but yea

it goes over stuff like having a locals, buying new sets, ruleset changes, banlist, having a meta, different deck archetypes, casual lingo refering to certain abilities

[shadow knot]

What do you think

it stayed true to the manga with a few hijinks

[edgy bone]

(I didnt care much for the ending but im also in the minority camp that didn't like the story since the timeskip)

i'll try to binge it sometime soonish just so I have a fresh memory of everything

I just need to ugh

finish mob psycho and the garden of sinners movies

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1122317165543051396.webp?size=48&name=pekorawut&quality=lossless

[shadow knot]

I mean
I also didn’t like the timeskip as well

[edgy bone]

huh interesting

everyone ive seen online looked at it as an upgrade

[shadow knot]

its not

anime wise s3 p2 is the pinnacle of the series
when the timeskip happens its just an eventual downfall

especially when it comes to eren’s character

[edgy bone]

i just wasnt a fan of the change in tone/story focus

pretimeskip it was a primal fight for survival + a lot of mysteries going around

then the timeskip came

[shadow knot]

it could’ve been handled better the arc was very reliant on shock value

[edgy bone]

shoved out the answers to every mystery all at once

and then it's all about politics now

[shadow knot]

paths was bullshit

but all of this doesn’t compare to the very last moment of the series

none of the readers weren’t prepared for how bad it was

[dusty fable]

oh yes, I remembered the ultimate nudity and piss jokes anime that I watched (well, if we discount nudity in Grand Blue). I think I got traumatized by it, but I enjoyed it too. Which is Prison School.

[next crescent]

Oh thank God I'm not the only one

I honestly despise Eren as an adult

[shadow knot]

@edgy bone see we got another one

[next crescent]

He's so fucking petty and unnecessarily stupid

[long peak]

Okay but did you consider that he's a ligma male

So he's awesome

[shadow knot]

what is a male

[next crescent]

Never

[edgy bone]

sorta like that but with a lot more action

[long peak]

Ask your parents

[next crescent]

As a kid, he was smart and doing whatever necessary to survive and keep everyone safe and tried not to sacrifice people
After he grew up he kinda just threw all that shit out the window and is willing to destroy the entire fucking planet to save like 5 people and doesn't even care how any of them feels about it because he's so fucking absorbed in his own emotions again to care about the people he's trying to care about

S3 P2 was just straight up peak, like he said

I think the premise of the world building after the time skip is interesting, and the message it's trying to convey about war and the darker side of it, but the execution and how the characters are moving through it

[edgy bone]

now that I think about it

I think every time a series did a timeskip I ended up liking it less lmao

or well

ok maybe not everytime

but a lot of the time

[next crescent]

Ye

Same thing happened with fairy tail

They had a 7 year time gap at one point and after that the show got marginally worse

With maybe a few actually good arcs/episodes

But everything else was kinda boring

[long peak]

Not one piece baby

[edgy bone]

I do actually prefer pre timeskip one piece

the overall story pacing and paneling quality has gotten a lot more inconsistent since the timeskip

and theres a lot of subplots that get teased that end up not amounting to much

oda even admitted to a cutting a few of them short in sbs-es

[raven trail]

Bro same

I know mappa style is so beautiful but i was so habited to the wit studio style

I rarely dislike anything but without the wit studio style, aot felt different

If it was mappa style all along, i’d have loved it for sure

[edgy bone]

try swapping to the manga style from wit

legit all characters look the same

I couldnt recognize mikasa for a good while

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1122317165543051396.webp?size=48&name=pekorawut&quality=lossless

[shadow knot]

wit gave the series a vibrant direction such as the huge line strokes in their animation and making use of revolving cgi

https://tenor.com/view/aot-levi-attack-on-titan-levi-ackerman-odm-gear-gif-25312664

[raven trail]

Didn’t feel much connection/attachment to the characters in season 4

[shadow knot]

if mappa did the whole series it wouldn't be the same as it is now

[raven trail]

Felt like a whole new cast idky

[shadow knot]

because mappa

[raven trail]

This is exactly what i felt missing in season 4

[shadow knot]

even with the bd releases I still have issues with how production is handled

[raven trail]

Its ok tho, so much better than not getting a release

[raven trail]

What issues did u find?

I’d say introducing new characters at the very end is a bad move

[shadow knot]

I'll find my messages in an old server gimme a second

[raven trail]

I think the whole children cast shouldn’t have been added

I didn’t like either gabi nor that blonde boy

All adults should’ve been fine

[shadow knot]

oh right the titan models were under-rendered, so they conspicuously stand out

I had issues with the lighting in most sets

very obnoxious usage of tweening I think

[raven trail]

Do u think there was bad story too?

[shadow knot]

oh and this running animation

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/764726727586480138/826905049120505956/Mikasa____Attack_on_Titan_Season_4_Episode_12___Mikasa_running.gif?ex=65551fd6&is=6542aad6&hm=dcac084cb4a58646769939b1426cba366a9b003820b952853f6715166e7c3a99&

[raven trail]

Clunky af😔

[shadow knot]

the gif is bad quality but you see the point

[raven trail]

I mean mappa usually saves budget in such scenarios

And spend it all in finght scenes

[shadow knot]

every studio does that

[raven trail]

So we can allow this

The thing is idk how to say it

But i rewatch aot s1-3 fights

But i never did for season 4

[shadow knot]

not as strong as the ohter seasons becuase their handling of shock value was much more impressive than what s4 and beyond has to offer

like its fine I'm open to their direction
but it gets more stale -> downhill till the end

[raven trail]

There are just so many peak moments in older seasons

Like the betrayal is my fav so far

And finding out truth in basement too

[next crescent]

Literally the only fight I can remember even a little bit is the one against the iron titan

For s4

I can't remember any other fight

Were there even other fights or was it all just politics

[shadow knot]

there were, its just that we don't care enough

[next crescent]

True

[edgy bone]

i remember ugh

the warhammer one in the plaza

[next crescent]

Yeah that one

Not iron sorry

[edgy bone]

the falco one on the frontlines when we get introduced to him for the first time

[next crescent]

I forgot iron is the man 😭

OH YEAH THE INTRO

[edgy bone]

then the whole colossal shit at the end if you wanna count that

[next crescent]

Okay the intro one was admittedly alright, it was a decent view into how titans were being used outside of destroying a group of humans on an isolated island

[edgy bone]

or not colossal sorry

founder

[next crescent]

Monkey man

Wait

Oh wait no

Founder was uhh

[edgy bone]

eren

lol

[next crescent]

The mikasa family one

Right

Oh

LOL

See I can't remember shit about s4 😭

[edgy bone]

hahahaha

issok

[next crescent]

I had the impression before then that monkey man was like... THE titan

And then after that they slam us with all this other shit that never got mentioned prior and we need to understand and follow all of it immediately or you get lost, on top of all the politics they throw at you

[edgy bone]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1122317365259022426.webp?size=48&name=02pensive&quality=lossless

you know one thing that I legit dont remember

idk if they didnt explain it or I just forgot/missed it

where did all the wall titans come from?

why are there so many colossals

or well slightly smaller than the colossal but still a lot bigger than average

[long peak]

https://tenor.com/view/luffy-gordo-luffy-gordinho-gif-25125796

[raven trail]

Bro i just fucking realised geto is like eren

[edgy bone]

is he?

granted I stopped reading the manga after the whole gojo capture arc ended

[raven trail]

Kill other people for betterment of our people

[edgy bone]

so in a sense you could say im anime only now

haha

I dont even remember what the brain wanted tbh

[raven trail]

Silimar philosophy

||I think kenjaku goals aren’t revealed in anime yet||

Maybe in manga idk

[edgy bone]

then how can you say they're similar

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/1122317165543051396.webp?size=48&name=pekorawut&quality=lossless

[raven trail]

Uhm have u watched anime?

Like season 2

If no, then my msgs might spoil you so ignore

[edgy bone]

i read all the manga until the end of this arc

unless they changed stuff I should know everything that's in the anime

[raven trail]

Do u know geto died in the movie ?

||And brain thing is different than geto||

[edgy bone]

yes

I thought you were talking about the brain thing

[raven trail]

Haha no

I meanr tge original geto

[edgy bone]

gotcha

I uh

[raven trail]

||Idk much about brain guy yet||

[edgy bone]

dont remember much about him

[raven trail]

He wantes to kill all humans

[edgy bone]

other than he killed people to save some kids I think

[raven trail]

Bcoz cursed spirits come from human’s emotions who cant control their negative emotions ir something like that

He decided to make the whole world “sorcerers only”

He was so focussed on this goal he decided his parents won’t be an exception and they would be killed too.

[edgy bone]

ye I dont remember all the details but when I was reading that I remember thinking that whole plan is im 14 and this is deep level of nonsense

[dusty fable]

what a spoiler galore, lol. Could you guys try at least not to spoil animes of the current season?

[edgy bone]

(in general that's my opinion of most things from that manga)

[raven trail]

Ok i spoilered this season stuff

[raven trail]

[edgy bone]

i talked about it with a friend before

a lot of the explanations this author writes

always come off as some artschool kid trying to sound smart

but they dont actually make any sense if you stop and actually think about what is being said

[raven trail]

I like the whole “extreme opinion characters” in fiction bcoz obviously its bad in real life

The whole point of fiction is it’s not supposed to be compared to real life

[edgy bone]

i wasnt comparing it to real life

[raven trail]

So i like characters like geto who will be obviously unpractical irl

It would only seem edgy irl

Geto’s ideals i mean

Or eren’s

Etc

[edgy bone]

eren is at least sorta interesting a bit with the whole being able to see the entire timeline thing

you'd think that'd put him in a unique position to make some decisions that wouldnt be reasonable otherwise

the fact that his action also kidna fall apart at the end is another matter

geto is just dumb

I dont remember the details exactly but

[raven trail]

💀

[edgy bone]

wasnt the whole controlling your emotions thing something that you have to train for specifically?

[raven trail]

He didn’t go insane is an instant

It was all a gradual butterfly effect

[edgy bone]

like didnt that girl he was trying to save create a curse or smth

by his own logic he'd have to kill sorcerers too

or you know

he could train regular people how to do the whole emotion contro lthing

[raven trail]

Normal people couldn’t do jujutsu due to no curse energy

[edgy bone]

i dont think thats jujutsu

[raven trail]

No jujutsu = no negative curse energy release control

[edgy bone]

then again the series sucks at explaining its own rules

[raven trail]

Huh😭

Bro jjk spends a lot of time explaining techniques

[ionic schooner]

Isn't it like

If you're super sad you get superpowers

🔥

[raven trail]

Like did u see how they explained naobito/choso/todo etc

[raven trail]

In jjk? Its genetics

[edgy bone]

it's explained in the beginnig that "cursed energy" is something all sorcerers have right

[raven trail]

Passed down thru generations

Only sorcerer families birth more sorcorers

[edgy bone]

it's basically just chakra from naruto (and I think this series is just modern naruto in a lot of ways)

[raven trail]

Yup

[ionic schooner]

Oh💀

[raven trail]

Naruto minus power of freindship

[edgy bone]

but the actual practical use of cursed energy is everyone having 1 unique gimmick that they just spam all the time

it's never explained why that is

[raven trail]

Yeah this is not explained

[edgy bone]

why can't people learn multiple techniques

why can't they teach each other stuff

[raven trail]

Not explained, correct

[ionic schooner]

Doesn't Yuji learn more

[raven trail]

I’d say its like

“Your gene carried this ct”

Bcoz many families have similar techniques

Like naobito and ||his son||

[raven trail]

Its more like a “how to improve combat”

[mighty cape]

[frank musk]

Gege gonna explain it in one whole chapter, but nobody is going to properly understand it until some reddit user posts 8-10 paragraphs of how its an ingenious power system and how it makes gege such a great author

[craggy mango]

[turbid jay]

So will there be season 2 after this, or is it the story finish?

[craggy mango]

The manga still ongoing, but idk if they want to make season 2

The material is more than enough for season 2

[frank musk]

Hopefully by then there will be no more delays

[turbid jay]

Still manifesting No game no life season 2

[edgy bone]

just read the novels

I enjoyed them more than the anime

all the mind games are a lot more exciting when you have access to internal monologue from the characters

and a narrator explaining stuff

and the anime skipped a lot of the details

[gleaming trench]

Is Pluto good?

[long peak]

Yes

Very

[topaz linden]

Very much so

[craggy mango]

No, its amazing

[next crescent]

i just watched the special part 2 for aot's ending and i

i can't tell

if near the end of the credits

if i should laugh hysterically

or cry

like

the little box next to the credits showing the slideshow of stuff

and just

when the german lyrics start blasting

it's just

so funny

but so depressing

okay that part after the end of the credits was really nice though

(i have no words for the actual special itself i'm not gonna lie, it's okay)

i will stand by what i said yesterday(?) that s3 p2 was peak aot

[meager kernel]

never watched AoT, is it worth it?

[long peak]

Yeah

[edgy bone]

it's what got a lot of people into anime back during early 2010's

it got so mainstream non-anime yt channels started talking about it

and back then talking about anime wasn't that common

[long peak]

It was one of my first 3 animes

dont ask what the other 2 were

[edgy bone]

i wont

[dusty fable]

it does a lot of stuff great (like worldbuilding, animation, anticipation) but its logic is a total mess

[frank musk]

The fact u said this alr made me curious

[dusty fable]

my personal AoT experience be like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDHCLjuOzXY

[meager kernel]

so it is worth it, i just avoided watching it given everyone and their grandma were watching it

and i have been spoiled about major plot points so I haven't gotten into it until now, so i will give it a shot

i just have to finish all the shit that i havent

[dusty fable]

pretty much. Unless something flips you off

[meager kernel]

i finished the whole of naruto 2 years ago, might check this off the anime bucket list

[dusty fable]

I would say I have around the same opinion of AoT as Naruto

[meager kernel]

i ended up really enjoying Naruto to be honest
