[shadow sleet]

dead 😔

[tidal shore]

crazy

the optimal order should be just re:zero

nothing else

[chilly lynx]

Tf Is Mobile Suit Gundam Unicorn doing there?

[edgy bone]

it has re: in the name

obviously

[chilly lynx]

True

It's actually not that bad

[topaz linden]

The studios turned the watch order into a mess man. Don't even get me started on the fan debate of if you should watch the Fate/Zero spinoff before starting Re:Zero 😤

[tidal shore]

what

huh

[topaz linden]

Though at least they can generally agree to save The Familiar of Zero for last

[tidal shore]

oh god

zero no tsukaima

haven't heard of that in 8 years

[topaz linden]

Ngl, the "fake series" memes are some of my favorites for shows/movies

Like the Full Metal series

[tidal shore]

daaaaamn

imagine

is there a dungeon series

reincarnation series

Ig thats too broad

[topaz linden]

I'd be surprised if someone hasnt tried to spin the reincarnation ones together lol

Tho I doubt it would be all of them with how many there are

The craziest one is still the Pixar shared universe tho

[tidal shore]

have you heard about the

barbie multiverse?

though pixar shared universe has to be crazier than this ig

[topaz linden]

Isnt that basically just the premise of the barbie movie?

[edgy bone]

What are you doing stepbro

[chilly lynx]

Prepare for Titanfall

[long peak]

Huh

[hot notch]

Slight nitpick with this. If your were a true Re: fan you would know that Mobile Suit Gundam Re:0096 actually released as 7 OVA films before being cut up into a TV anime series. Thus it could be argued that it's release order is before Re:_Hamatora and in my opinion should also be the form watched for the intended order watch through.

Gundam Build Divers Re:Rise should also fall into this list but I guess the creator of the image has something against the canonicity of that one.

Having Re:Dive without Re:Rise seems like a weird choice to me though.

[hot notch]

Fair enough

[hot notch]

I feel like I made the same comments and received the same response from you the last time you send this image

wtf is up with his legs

🦵 🦵

@edgy bone

ISNT THAT A CHILD?!

[topaz linden]

Yeah. MC reincarnates as one

Show's more about his pathological obsession with magic than anything lol
Artist just has weird proportions in his art

[mighty cape]

what the fuck.

[mighty cape]

From what I hear the manga’s style actually was more passable but since the anime borrowed from it over the LN designs, it prolly didn’t translate too well

But omg

[topaz linden]

I've read a good amount of the manga. The person was very good at magic effects and bg art, so that helped a lot. The actual character designs are eh tho

[mighty cape]

You know what his legs remind me of?

https://tenor.com/view/squidward-thighs-explode-spongebob-krabby-patty-gif-9268392904251030738

[topaz linden]

It's pretty accurate to his manga form, but just yeh... doesn't look as well in anime or without the visuals to distract

[mighty cape]

Kid is eating too many krabby parties

[mighty cape]

Oh that actually ain’t half bad. Just what i suspected.

His LN design looks relatively bland in color sadly

[topaz linden]

The manga color panels unironically go so damn hard

[mighty cape]

What’s this called again? It’s a long title I keep forgetting

[topaz linden]

I was Reincarnated as the 7th Prince, So I Will Perfect My Magic As I Please

basically OP MC reincarnation (not actually isekai tho. Dude's just moved into a different body in his own world)

Thing is, MC's like... OP OP
Casual reality warper kinda deal

[mighty cape]

I’ll check it out

I heard this one’s actually unironically fun and well done for what it tries to do

Thanks

[topaz linden]

I'd agree with that

Helps that the MC has zero interest in actually taking anything besides cool magic seriously

[mighty cape]

Ok yeah manga is a 💯 improvement

[topaz linden]

the art is honestly its strongest selling point imo

tho the maid character is hilarious

[mighty cape]

He looks so sad…

[mighty cape]

what anime are yall watching

[mighty cape]

It wasn’t anime but heavily anime inspired

It was a French film

Dofus Book 1 Julith

https://youtu.be/Q0fKmOLt8Q0?si=u4QuGNbVxlTOXpYl

It’s some of the most insane stuff I’ve seen in a “kid’s movie”

[remote salmon]

anyone in here have experienced streaming ?
just wondering how streamers can read chat when it goes lightspeed

like do they filter out emoji only chats, or some spammed words ?

[mighty cape]

I meant this^

[next crescent]

Hot damn that's good

[mighty cape]

also did one of yall still like SAO as a anime?

did it have good writing or bad writing?

[lyric narwhal]

@edgy bone bro it's sad that you dont check gtalk

i pulled neuvilette on 38 pity yesterday

Even when they’re not kicking ass the animation is a joy to watch

https://youtu.be/CctQgkcPgg8?si=iP_RbYS9v9w9FKlp

[hot notch]

Shit I didn't know that were making new Wakfu content

Does it have an EN dub yet?

Oh wait this isn't new content

How have I not seen the Dofus stuff before

Oh shit S4 actually finally came out

I know what I'm doing tomorrow

[mighty cape]

Peolly not worth it

[hot notch]

Well today I guess

[mighty cape]

It’s known for being pretty bad

Might as well watch in French dub

[hot notch]

Yea but I watched all of Wakfu in English so watching it in French would be weird

This show has come so far for something that was originally a Flash Animation
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C1ygxdo7ZYs

[tidal shore]

I'm replaying Persona 5 through the Royal version

and

holy skibidi toilet

I don't remember the writing being so corny and bad

back when it came out I didn't think much on it, but now that I'm playing for the second time it's soo

for Kamoshida arc at least

BUT

I guess the game's plot couldn't happen without forgoing logic

to not keep it too negative, I can go more into detail later if anyone's interested

so anyway

check this out

https://vxtwitter.com/ReignOfPride/status/1775369745853825254?s=19

[edgy bone]

I quite liked the first story arc

[shadow knot]

erm p3 and p4 better

[edgy bone]

Ok bot

Time to do it the ol captain sparklez way

I didnt expect them to tackle abuse and unalivement in an anime jrpg video game

[tidal shore]

idkkk

everyone seems like a caricature

[edgy bone]

Its anime

[tidal shore]

I know

[edgy bone]

Isnt that the whole point

[tidal shore]

but still

suspension of disbelief doesn't work if the writing sucks

[edgy bone]

If youre looking for realistic protrayals may i suggest some american rpgs

[tidal shore]

for me tho, I notice that everyone during Kamoshida arc is under a spell of sorts, almost no students gossip or talk about the abuse, nothing really spreads around on social media especially when you start doing the investigation, the students actually have a lot of physical evidence to put pressure on the teacher and get him fired and suspended for eternity
smartphones and cameras are popular during the period the game is set in, you could easily record that one scene where Kamoshida confesses, for proof, I mean really, it's like none of these characters use brain

[edgy bone]

Idont really remember many details

Also in general im a gameplay first person

Stories in video games for me are an extra cherry on top kinda thing

If im in the mood for stories tv shows or manga are my go to

[tidal shore]

well I'm playing it right now and it pisses me off how an apparently abusive person is holding the whole school hostage, like, that's not how it works??? if ur involved in at least 60 people's lives, excluding their parents who "know about the abuse", how are you still free to roam around????

u mean to tell me none of the 120~ (estimate) parents did anything?

this just doesn't add up

it's not a cult

[edgy bone]

Remember that its japan

[tidal shore]

in a cult u could get away with it

[edgy bone]

Japan has a culture to stick to the norm

[tidal shore]

I feel that is often exaggerated

[edgy bone]

Have you ever heard about subway assaults

Its a real thing

[tidal shore]

I've seen puzzle games with better writing than 95% of stuff written for TV or for sale as books

Persona 5 is largely a graphic novel

it should have good writing, it's medium is intended to have good writing

it shouldn't be treated as optional at least not here

[edgy bone]

Define good

[tidal shore]

without going into the nitty gritty

anything around the 8/10 ballpark

[edgy bone]

Define 8/10

[tidal shore]

you can look at the well rated series in any medium and find common writing elements that make it good if u want

I don't feel like writing a 5k word essay about it

that doesn't matter tho

I've listed out my reasons for why I think the plot makes no sense in the Kamoshida arc

so I'd rather speak about writing in the context of P5 and it's medium (and maybe the intended audience, which I am not a part of)

[edgy bone]

So you decide wether something is good or not based on how many other people agree with that notion?

[tidal shore]

generally speaking that's a good point of reference

though mass appeal is it's own thing

how something appeals to it's own niche is another thing

and whether a work of fiction creates a new niche that's a completely another thing (a trend setter of sorts)

I think it's fair to treat them similarly in the context of defining what's good and what isn't

if you want to use your own criteria then feel free

[edgy bone]

Ive already stated that i dont like using these words in a vaccuum

I was just asking for your take on the matter

But anyways

[tidal shore]

oh ok

[edgy bone]

In this case by your own definition p5 story is good cuz a lot of people like it no?

[tidal shore]

yeah I'm not used to talking with people similar to me sorry

[edgy bone]

Not sure what you mean

[tidal shore]

I don't like using words in a vacuum too and I tend to ask a lot of questions (less now though)

[tidal shore]

maybe it's good for it's intended demographic? which would be shounen
but because of the themes the game tackles I think any moral it's trying to convey has a much lesser impact than it could have

[edgy bone]

I see

Do you plan to keep playing or are you done

[tidal shore]

I will keep playing for my big tiddy goth gf

yeah I may have standards, but I also got standards, you know

I am so easily catered to 😩

[mighty cape]

There’s also the fact that… really popular stuff can fumble, and you can just as likely find it ‘lesser’ than initially hyped by the masses.

Mob mentality goes a long way for plenty situations for better or worse.

[edgy bone]

I never said otherwise

[tidal shore]

Avatar moment

[tidal shore]

Avatar moment!

[edgy bone]

I could go on a whole rant about how people judge things but thats not the topic of the conversation

[tidal shore]

actually do

I'm interested

[mighty cape]

Wasn’t insinuating it.

Point being, there’s no better way to make a call other than giving it a shot yourself to fairly evaluate sth in the first place.

Funnily enough tho? Sometimes people trashing on/relatively ignoring sth actually gets me even more curious about a title better than someone shilling their “top tier anime of all time.”

Love it when it winds up to me actually liking it better than most

[tidal shore]

does that mean I should start trashing on my beloved Monogatari Series (my beloved)

[edgy bone]

I wonder if thats some twisted side effect of the negativity bias we all have

[mighty cape]

No. It means you should at least try it out and see if it’s your cup of tea to begin with. Heck I lasted up to midway Nisemonogatari before flat out dropping it.

It has some really good merits

Don’t get me wrong

But SHAFT’s visual direction of that show

Coupled by Nisio’s wacky dialogues

[edgy bone]

(Also sidenote but im really close to dropping got , season 5 writing bored and annoyed me , season 6 feels like more of the same, and if everyone and their mother keeps saying it only gets worse idk if i wanna waste 30 hours to find out)

[mighty cape]

And choice in plot progression this time around compared to his other stuff

Just didn’t click for me sadly

Granted I’m admittedly internally biased against a lot of relatively recent Shaft anime that isn’t Madoka so

…oh and Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei was actually pretty neat too iirc.

[tidal shore]

u weren't degen enough I'm sorry 😔

[mighty cape]

If only you knew

[tidal shore]

hey I liked that one!

too bad it didn't click with u, I guess that happens

I've also had series that, on paper, should've made my top 10

[mighty cape]

I mean

[tidal shore]

but in practice fell off

[mighty cape]

I haven’t given up on it entirely either

Just the anime

[tidal shore]

loool

[mighty cape]

The manga looks insanely good

[tidal shore]

yeah agree

[mighty cape]

And I own most of the novels too

[tidal shore]

LMAO

ok I like this

should I read 🤔

[mighty cape]

I’d pick up Medaka Box

Just keep in mind it’s sorta a parody and meta commentary about shonen manga lol

[tidal shore]

oh I've watched that one

then switched to manga

but never finished

[mighty cape]

How far in?

[tidal shore]

for some reason

uhhhh

It’s an adaptation of a Song of Ice and Fire

[edgy bone]

You can read the summary of the first book to get a taste

[tidal shore]

WHAT

[edgy bone]

What what?

[tidal shore]

oh I got confused, though he said with fire and sword

[tidal shore]

think I will just watch the first few episodes and see

[mighty cape]

According to some friends of mine

But most friends recommend to stop at s3

[edgy bone]

If you care i think season 1 is one of the most enjoyable ones they ever did and also has the most complete story arc

[tidal shore]

this is probably due to the difference in mediums

[mighty cape]

Cuz it goes downhill after that lol

[edgy bone]

I liked s1 s3 s4

S2 bored me

[mighty cape]

R.R Martin also takes

[edgy bone]

And s5 is when i could really start to feel the shift in writing

[mighty cape]

Fucking forever to write

[edgy bone]

Indeed

[tidal shore]

he's still alive?

[mighty cape]

Yep

But he’s old lol

[tidal shore]

damnn

[edgy bone]

Basically he kinda put writing on the backburner once the tv got popular

And now that hes the author of a bestseller i imagine theres less pressure for him to put out new material too

[tidal shore]

actually it might be more pressure

expectations would rise, and it would affect the writer

though given his age Idk

cuz i hear old people dont give a damn

Between JP and EN audio which did you prefer for this moment?

[tidal shore]

lmao

funny thing is, Goku in jp version was voiced by an elderly woman

probably why it sounds so goofy

after watching the english version tho, that's goofy too

but I prefer eng

[edgy bone]

I meant it more like

He doesnt have to worry about having to work to earn money

[tidal shore]

ah ok

[outer scaffold]

I just saw a comment on tiktok saying that japan needed more of pd kil, the video was talking about the fire on kyoto animation in 2019

[outer scaffold]

That makes me think, why would they blame it on the studio? They should blame it on the mangaka who makes the manga, the studio just follows the content of the manga

[outer scaffold]

If you guys want to know what pd kil is, lmk by dming you

[tidal shore]

wat

wait, has the reason been revealed?

for why kyoani got set on fire

[outer scaffold]

I think it's already long since the reason for the fire is out, the reason for the fire is that the arsonist thinks that those animators copy his work

[edgy bone]

OMG ITS HIM

IN THE FLESH

what

this is way dumber than I anticipated

[outer scaffold]

What is it you anticipated?

[tidal shore]

something like in-house bullying, abuse of power, or maybe a cancelled project and a ruined career

copyright issues go through court usually 💀

[chilly lynx]

Oof

[tidal shore]

nahh nahhhhh kyoani went through this tragedy cuz of such a reason 💀

[outer scaffold]

The law between countries is different (even though there could be those who are the same as other countries)

[tidal shore]

wait

EU forced Japan to extend copyright time to 70 years (to all works)

fuck the EU 😭

[chilly lynx]

Damn

That's crazy

[tidal shore]

ah

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Copyright_law_of_Japan

more infoon this

[outer scaffold]

What does it mean? Isn't it good that a copyright can go long, so nobody will be profiting from others work?

[tidal shore]

depends

70 years after author's death is a long time

by not letting people create derivative works for the existing ip you're essentially killing any cultural impact that a series of books, movies, or other media could have

ofc that doesn't matter if you are a multi billion dollar studio like Pixar or Disney

they can force a franchise down our throats and we will eat it up

[topaz linden]

Good for the copyright owner, less so for people hoping to use those ideas/concepts as the basis for their own stories.

Ex: Most of Disney's most famous movies were only possible because the stories they were adapting were old enough to have entered the public domain (meaning anyone could adapt/make material based on them)

[tidal shore]

and then Disney forced the government to extend the copyright TWICE

yeah that's right, TWICE

so0 they could keep Mickey Mouse for 90 something years

expired first of january btw

Guys, have you ever experienced where you read a manga, the main characters of that manga are in a bad situation, and you can predict the reason for it, even though the main characters don't know the reason, it hasn't been shown too by the narrator itself, but you are really certain that is the correct reason for the main characters bad situation?

[edgy bone]

i think the word youre looking for is predicting

and plenty of times the authors plant out hints for what's about to happen if you pay attention

[outer scaffold]

Yes, maybe i can simplify it, but i'm pretty bad at simplifying a paragraph

[outer scaffold]

No, this time, it's about the reason in the past for the bad situation currently

[edgy bone]

or even without any hints once youve seen enough stories you'll be able to pick up on narrative structure patterns

[outer scaffold]

Idk if you know the manga or not, but in the mangas i read, one of them is about a returnee's academy, the mc just wants to live peacefully after returning to his own world, but got forced to accept the invitation of returnee's academy

[outer scaffold]

The academy is for returnees who saved the world they got summoned before

[edgy bone]

that just sounds like the typical start of the hero's journey

[outer scaffold]

But here's the strange thing, the mc wasn't supposed to be in this academy, he got summoned to a lost world, not by a goddess, but by the demon that was the academy's enemy, so he got trained by the demon and "kill" the demon, he returned to his own world by sneaking into a vehicle on the goddess tunnel of worlds network.

[edgy bone]

i fail to see how this is relevant to you predicting a plot point

[outer scaffold]

It hasn't been shown in the manga, not even a major hint, so i think this is a subtle hint, but i think that the mc got summoned to the academy because he uses the goddess tunnel network, it recognizes him as a savior

[outer scaffold]

I need to explain the prologue first, sorry if it's too long

[outer scaffold]

This is an example of my question

[edgy bone]

was that confirmed?

im confused

[outer scaffold]

It's not, but i'm pretty certain that's the reason, that's my question, predicting and pretty certain about it, even though it's not confirmed

[edgy bone]

that's just speculation then

and people do that all the time

the whole point of having mystery plotthreads and cliffhangers endings on episodes that air weekly is to get people to speculate in between releases

[outer scaffold]

Ok, but let me screenshot my example

Remember, this is just a casual coversation

[edgy bone]

i lack the context to make any meaningful commentary

but if it stands out to you it's probably a hint planted by the author

see my first few messages

[outer scaffold]

Ok

[chilly lynx]

I kinda don't know what to watch now

[outer scaffold]

Also, i think i just realized this, but i think i only ever saw you on this sub, not on the other sub

[edgy bone]

sub?

[outer scaffold]

I call genshin-talk, star-rail, and etc a sub

[edgy bone]

ah

this is all the channels i check

[outer scaffold]

Ofc anime is one of them, and i only ever saw you on the anime sub (i think, wait, i think i saw you on lore-basement too)

[outer scaffold]

So you only want to know the lore of genshin and your hobby?

[edgy bone]

more like

i liked the lore group so i stuck around

i plan to get back to genshin eventually but we're still a couple years away from that

[outer scaffold]

Wait, when is the last time you played genshin and why do you hiatus from genshin?

[edgy bone]

ugh

i quit right before the 2.x golden archipelago event

[outer scaffold]

Are you waiting for genshin's story to end first and then play it again?

[edgy bone]

and im just waiting for teyvat to be finished so i can binge play the whole thing like a normal rpg

the gacha style drip feeding of content patches isn't for me

i just dont enjoy content that way

[outer scaffold]

Kinda like some manhwa fans who wait for the manhwa to have hundreds of chapters or until it ended

[edgy bone]

sure

[outer scaffold]

I just remember the term for it, "let it marinate"

[edgy bone]

i dont think ive ever heard of that lol

everyone ive seen just calls it binging

[outer scaffold]

That could be it too

I think you're the only person that i have ever seen with my own eyes that waits for the story of a game with major progress about once a year to end because you want to binge it (maybe there are people like that too, but you're the only one I have ever seen)

[edgy bone]

i imagine youve only been around young people

who have grown up with this kinda live service content so it's normal to them

i miss when games would release feature complete and you could just play the whole thing on release

02pensive

[outer scaffold]

Maybe that's the reason

[outer scaffold]

I reckon you like elden ring for that sort of thing

[chilly lynx]

god, I gotta get back on genshin

[edgy bone]

kinda?

soulslikes aren't really my thing

i liked their take on open world design tho

it reminded me of early 2000s rpgs

[outer scaffold]

Would you be back on snezhnaya, even though you still have another year to wait for khaenri'ah?

[edgy bone]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it's gonna largely depend on my mood at the time

and how close it looks like they are to finishing off the teyvat chapter

if they somehow end up making khaenriah another 1 year long patch cycle then i'll just wait for that too

[outer scaffold]

I feel like they should make snezhnaya a 6-8 month period instead of a 1 year period, because they should match the pace of the story, i predict that after we finished with snezhnaya, we need to move fast to khaenri'ah

would you say that you dont like it simple and clean

hmmm

I think it's more about how the content matter is presented

[edgy bone]

I was trying to make a meme about the song

[tidal shore]

oh ok

well anyway I don't mind cringe lines, I vibe with cringe more often than not, but generally when characters mention stuff like fate, destiny, some mysterious force of universe, or a lot of Barret's lines from FF7 at the beginning (even in the original) take me out of the experience

Ig it has more to do with my suspense of disbelief?

[chilly lynx]

what anime do I watch now?

I need ideas

[dusty fable]

Wolf and spice must flow

[topaz linden]

What kind of shows do you like?

[chilly lynx]

recently started watching a bit of isekai.

[topaz linden]

[chilly lynx]

uh huh

also thought about watching Mha sometime soon

[edgy bone]

I see jake doing my job for me

[chilly lynx]

(just cause i feel like it, i have like 4 genshin plushes)

[edgy bone]

do you sleep with them

[chilly lynx]

yes

always

[edgy bone]

oooo

[craggy mango]

You like isekai? Try Digimon

https://tenor.com/view/ken-ichijouji-ichijouji-ken-digimon-digimon-adventure02-digivice-gif-23606071

[chilly lynx]

Yes yes

I will keep that in mind

[tidal shore]

ngl I completely forgot that Digimon is an isekai

but considering the tropes that isekai have settled on, I think calling it an isekai would be a disservice

[edgy bone]

reminds me of the whole what is a shonen debacle

[chilly lynx]

Probably

[chilly lynx]

The cchino

[chilly lynx]

Crazy

[chilly lynx]

That's crazy

[tidal shore]

meme edit

[chilly lynx]

Behold....my thing

[hot notch]

Guncannon: "Behold, my child, the Prinzessin der Verurteilung!"
Kampfer: "Sorry he does this to everyone..."

[chilly lynx]

Exactly

That's canon for me now

[craggy mango]

Wake up babe, Yuru Camp new season is out

[chilly lynx]

He carries her everywhere he goes

Oh wait it was supposed to be this one

(on a side note, I take my Arlecchino plush everywhere I go)

[edgy bone]

do you show it to people

[chilly lynx]

Ye

They're with me in the car rn

[edgy bone]

wow

very brave of you

[chilly lynx]

They feel like an emotional support tool to me

[edgy bone]

[chilly lynx]

Here they are right now

[edgy bone]

do they like drinking sprite

yaethunk

[chilly lynx]

[tidal shore]

this was so me lmao

[edgy bone]

oh are you caught up with one piece?

[tidal shore]

no

[edgy bone]

02pensive

[tidal shore]

I periodically re-read everything every few years

[edgy bone]

humu humu

[tidal shore]

last time I read was last year so I'm like 40+ chapters behind by this point

stopped at the ||joyboy fight||

[edgy bone]

at that point it's probably better to wait for a full arc to finish then binge all of it

[tidal shore]

true\

[edgy bone]

that way you get a complete experience

or as close as you can get to one without the series being over

[topaz linden]

It me. I'm the Guncannon.

[hot notch]

That you are

[hot notch]

Who would you say is the Kampfer in this situation?

[topaz linden]

Probably Kc lol

Also...
So I don't know how many people here are light novel/manga readers versus anime only...

But Humble Bundle has all 57 light novel and manga volumes of the Monogatari series on sale for $30 until <t:1714068057:D> 👀

https://www.humblebundle.com/books/monogatari-returns-again-kodansha-books

[hot notch]

That's what I was thinking lmao

[topaz linden]

Good price + proceeds go to charity

[edgy bone]

all these are the same story?

the art looks wildly different

[chilly lynx]

I might buy the series

[topaz linden]

Some novels are other books by the same author, but a different series. It has all of the Monogatari books in the collection tho

[chilly lynx]

Ahhh

That seems nice

[topaz linden]

From the author (Nisio Isin)'s wikipedia:

[chilly lynx]

Ooo

Crazy

[topaz linden]

My guess is they figured more people would notice "Entire monogatari collection!" over "Nisio Isin's Entire collection (including monogatari)"

[chilly lynx]

If I get more money this month, I'll consider buying it

[edgy bone]

i forgot he did zodiac war

[chilly lynx]

Never knew what zodiac war was

[edgy bone]

it was an anime in the late 2010's that got a decent bit of hype around it when it aired

[chilly lynx]

Oooo

Sounds cool

[edgy bone]

then it faded into obscurity with time like everything else

[chilly lynx]

Damn

That sucks

[hot notch]

Lil guy

[chilly lynx]

[tidal shore]

autobot be like

[edgy bone]

what do the decepticon be like tho

[tidal shore]

whar 💀

[edgy bone]

you dont know transformers?

[tidal shore]

I've watched like the first 2 movies then lost interest

[edgy bone]

unfortunate

i grew up with the unicron trilogy cartoons

[tidal shore]

crazy

no clue what that is but crazy

[edgy bone]

02pensive

[shadow knot]

I watched a few eps of g1 when I was very young , then I became michael bay pilled with the movies

[edgy bone]

i tried watching the michael bay movies recently but i just couldnt get into them, felt way too mysoginistic

only one i liked was bumblebee

ive also been going on a nostalgia trip and watching figure reviews of the ones from the cartoons i watched as a kid

[tidal shore]

idk what was mysogynistic about them

[shadow knot]

yeah that never crossed my mind, I just see cool robots transforming and fight and I think its cool

[edgy bone]

kinda wish i could buy them but it's near impossible to find people who sell them outside of america

[shadow knot]

bumblebee is good for the cybertron scene alone, then it was just ok throughout

[tidal shore]

bro as an 8 year old watching the first transformers I didn't even look at the women 💀

[edgy bone]

it kinda felt like a disney channel movie if you ignore the fight scenes

[tidal shore]

I had no capacity for that kind of thinking back then

[edgy bone]

and i really liked the visual direction in it

[tidal shore]

but yeah, I wouldn't equate sexualisation with misogyny

[edgy bone]

seeing bots transform from the inside is a really cool visual shot that i never knew i wanted

[tidal shore]

wtf

yeah ig thats cool

[chilly lynx]

Yu-Gi-Oh

I also have a genshin mat

Which hair you like on her best? @edgy bone

[edgy bone]

Tied braid best so she can use it like a lethal weapon

[edgy bone]

do you have experience with that astral

[mighty cape]

https://youtu.be/CKaZUFOZ1QM?si=C_DFQMHZh6dxIbX0

Just like in Scissor 7

[edgy bone]

SCISSOR SEVEN

[next crescent]

It's "common" knowledge that braids can be used as a weapon

I had a teacher in 5th grade who had a massive braid that she never went without in school and she had to warn us not to stand beside her because a student did that and when someone called her name she whipped her head to the side to see who it was and ended up whacking the kid in the face with her braid and causing a bloody nose

[edgy bone]

ayawah

[chilly lynx]

Hair is deadly

[tidal shore]

holy shiiiiii years of practice doing braids for my sister gonna finally pay off 😎

[edgy bone]

YOU HAVE A SISTER?!

poggies

is she single

[tidal shore]

bro she's 5

(another reason I'm heavily against child sexualisation in anime)

[chilly lynx]

Agreed

[mighty cape]

https://youtu.be/IJ8kXxwdDe8?si=S5JNgD_RzKSWql1e

[chilly lynx]

Car design looks cool

[dusty fable]

most people don't notice this if they don't care? I don't remember watching any recent anime with any kind of said sexualization (the last one was Cyberpunk and that was already a stretch). Given I don't watch "cute girls doing cute things" genre, other genres don't include much of this stuff nowadays

[craggy mango]

Damn they beat One Piece
https://fxtwitter.com/GWR/status/1775979368881283240?t=ScwpeP1yTl_68pd6FmcBBA&s=19

[dusty fable]

nah, One Piece is unbeatable

[chilly lynx]

One piece is beaten

[dusty fable]

it may be bruised

in 5 years nobody will remember JJK

[craggy mango]

Nah, they will remember it

You like it or not it will become all time classic battle shonen

[dusty fable]

maybe

I don't really care

[tidal shore]

idk what u watch so can't comment on that

[dusty fable]

I watch anything of consequence, anything that has some value

[tidal shore]

yeah that's such a narrow and easily identifiable set of works, surely

[dusty fable]

that means I watch most of the stuff that comes out

[tidal shore]

maybe anime has desensitised you to it then

[dusty fable]

maybe. I do notice sexualization of characters though. It is still very much prevalent

Anime cut down a lot on underage sexualization

Heck, they even cut down on panty shots, which honestly is a good thing, since I can watch anime with friends and not cringe. The last time I got panty shots, I counted four male dwarf panty shots before I got a single female elf pantyshot, lmao

[craggy mango]

Apparently 2nd episode of KonoSuba season 3 also got leaked few hours ago

Crunchyroll really need to hire a great plumber

[long peak]

I'm not really defending anything, but companies can literally pay guinness for the record, and use their own polling

So it means nothing

[edgy bone]

im not sure why it's even being compared to one piece

[long peak]

Also jjk is just more popular than one piece anyways

[edgy bone]

in demand means what's popular right now

[shadow knot]

one piece has gotten a Guinness world record anyways back then so its all chill

[long peak]

True

I just think this one is especially dumb

[shadow knot]

[craggy mango]

They use Parrot Analytics research, i dont want to assume that because it could be serious allegation

For media, demands rating is very important

But yes for neutral fans like us, it barely means anything

[dusty fable]

There is a quality difference though. I can watch any story arc of One Piece at any point, and it would be good by itself (I don't know how good is overarching story, I always watched random snippets of OP). I can't say the same about the whole JJK story though

[edgy bone]

idk about any arc

or well

guess it depends on how much youre willing to gloss over

[dusty fable]

I watched three random arcs, and they were all memorable, so I made an assumption. Obviously there going to be better and worse arcs, but since my exposure was completely random I assume I got a general level of story arc quality there

the whole story might be even better, but I don't feel like watching hundreds of episodes

[edgy bone]

well yea it's one piece it's all memorable

was talking about how self contained the arcs are

[dusty fable]

they were contained enough for me. It doesn't matter if there are characters with stories that go beyond the arc in the future and in the past, if I don't know any characters besides Luffy anyway (and the characters highlighted in the arc since it does look like the arcs revolve around a character or a set of characters in all arcs I have seen)

it looked to me like character development was rather comprehensive within an arc

[edgy bone]

funny you say that cuz that's one of the more common complaints about the story

[long peak]

My complaint is in the paneling

[dusty fable]

I generally pay a lot of attention to characters, and I could say in One Piece they are described well enough. By character description I mean their general theme, their goal (or aspirations), their means and modus operandi, all those things are pretty well described. If I could compare it to other animes, probably only Hunter x Hunter has better character development overall, both within and outside of an arc

[long peak]

The story is fantastic, just man, sometimes I can't understand fight scenes with how oda draws them

Dragon ball, just as a comparison has super fluid paneling

[edgy bone]

i think i already talked with you about this golden right?

[long peak]

Uhhh

I don't remember

[edgy bone]

well in that case

yea the paneling and just general page layout of modern one piece has gotten really sloppy

it used to be a lot better in the past

but around post timeskip when the story really grew in scope oda started to add more and more world building details into each chapter which forced him to cram more speech baubles and more characters into the same 19 page canvas every week

if you watch the review series by totally not mark he even makes a whole disscussion segment about this during the punk hazard arc where he really started to notice the shift

and i think in his final review or a different video where he ranked all the manga he read he docked a point from one piece specifically because of the paneling ( and i think that was his only big complaint)

my other big complaint about the story is that it feels like oda's become really self indulgent

he's started to add a bunch of smaller plot points that tend to not go anywhere or just get handwaved away very nonshalantly halfway through an arc

most recent example is all the random shit in wano that didnt get resolved

i know oda's said at one point that he's constantly coming up with new ideas and wants to add them to the story but at this point it really feels like he's starting to add literally everything that crosses his mind without thinking about how it works in the larger picture, then realises 50-100 chapters later that he can't make it work so it gets ignored or dropped

also i feel like he's created his own set of tropes that he's started to overuse to the detriment of the characters

like the strawhats nowadays are mostly just the same specific gags and not much else, very rarely we get some genuine character moments from them that aren't just jokes

[dusty fable]

in the meantime I find it funny how we discuss OP, instead of JJK

[edgy bone]

or when he wants to tease a new reveal it's always a silhoutte, he's kinda stopped trying to come up with different ways to do teases

i dropped jjk

but op is one of my favorite stories of all time

i have significantly more to say about it

[dusty fable]

I really need to finish watching it though. I really dropped in the most crucial part I think (or one of the most crucial parts), lmao

[edgy bone]

i'll probably binge it after it's done just cuz at this point almost everyone i know who reads manga reads jjk

good disscussion topic if nothing else

[mighty cape]

because OP is a banger

[long peak]

https://vxtwitter.com/chronakey/status/1773799608684319074

This is true

[hot notch]

Twitter users try not to spread misinformation on the internet: difficulty impossible

I think you mean spread information

It's infamously boring

@edgy bone @next crescent how does it look to you? Visually

Moreso the 3D animation

[edgy bone]

it has a little bit of that 3d uncaniness but i could probably get used to it

reminds me of early rwby seasons but less scuffed

Girls Band Cry?

[chilly lynx]

I got bored watching Solo Leveling, so I did this to pass the time

[next crescent]

the fact they mentioned a gay character at all is kinda awesome ngl

[edgy bone]

ngl i was so focused on the animation i didnt pay attention to the dialogue

[next crescent]

that wa the whole point of the video 😭

they even put that in the description

[edgy bone]

i didnt read that eihter

[next crescent]

"Obsessed with Nina's reaction to the discovery that gay people exist"

[topaz linden]

@next crescent Time to update your name command? 👀

[next crescent]

LMAO

[topaz linden]

Watching the first episode, if it can keep up this quality of animation/character expressiveness, I'm pretty sure I'll probably stick with it for the whole season.

That first episode was really good

[dusty fable]

Damn, Dungeon Meshi is a total surprise. It is enjoyable on every single level of its presentation: idea, art, music, characters, humor. Absolutely top1 anime of the winter season for me. I hope it will combine more dark themes into its leightweight humorous structure

I expected something at the level of Tower of Druaga + Shokugeki no Soma which would already be good, but it might actually be on the level of Madoka, if the author manages to spin their story

||Unfortunately I don't expect it to go all the way dark like Madoka, which is a shame, but would be insane to pull off for it to stay good||

[chilly lynx]

Since it was considered an anime in Crunchyroll, I watched Shin Godzilla

[long peak]

Erm this isn't anime

Technically, they made it an anime

Land of the Lustrous did it better

Yes

it just aired, and it's a weekly show, so ~11 to 12 weeks from now

[ionic schooner]

Too realistic!!!

[ionic schooner]

The CGI is funny though

Cause it's so bad

[mighty cape]

The making behind it is both funny and tragically sad

[topaz linden]

I feel like the intent of what I said was lost 😅
I meant realistic in the sense of "Humans doing human things".
People have good ideas of how human faces/bodies are supposed to move and act, so they tend to be more perceptive/critical of it (hence stuff like the uncanny valley effect).

[ionic schooner]

I love odd taxi

Is it like beastars

Eh, not really

Ik JakeFromStateFarm also likes odd taxi

the realest part of the whole show fr

[ionic schooner]

He's just like me fr

Without the shooter part

I don't even get the ending

Even after the recap movie

[topaz linden]

I honestly wish the recap movie hadn't touched the ending

[ionic schooner]

Didnt it end on a cliffhanger

The shiw

[topaz linden]

the show's original ending was a perfect open-ended/ambiguous ending

[ionic schooner]

Show

Yeaj

Ig they just wanted to finish it by making my boy win🔥🙏🔥

I skipped the entire recap movie to the ending anyways

Cause I watched it right after finishing the show since I thought it was a completely new movie

Like a sequel

[tidal shore]

the more i look at it the more it feels like the studio was very intentional with those smooth operating anime models

makes for good contrast when they go exaggerated anime mode (though might look goofy 50% of the time)

[ionic schooner]

The silly classic anime faces in 3d looks so weird

[tidal shore]

defo a stylistic choice

[ionic schooner]

In a good way

😭

Like when they make their mouth into a trapezoid

I never seen it in 2d

3d

[tidal shore]

really all depends on execution, Land of the Lustrous did it really well

Have you guys seen the CGI in the new marvel movies

Nah, cause I haven't watched a new marvel movie aside from Spiderman in like

3 or 4 years lol

whenever the last avengers came out

it's awesome u have to see it

spiderverse

aside from Spiderman

ah

[topaz linden]

I'm including Spiderverse in that lol

[tidal shore]

yeah i only care about spiderverse movies sorry

[topaz linden]

It's awesome, but the strike turned what was supposed to be a quick turnaround for the next one (like <4 months iirc) into such a long and tormeting wait

They dropped it on a hell of a cliffhanger expecting to only keep fans waiting for a few months, but now it's gonna be left there for at least a year (still no release date)

The CGI is amazing

The Writers Guild went on strike from for ~5 months and the Actors Guild went on strike for ~4 months last year.

No way mappa jjk

That's what's weird about it

It's usually never normal

I should make a meme

You guys will laugh about this 🤣

[hot notch]

Girls Band Cry has some serious potential. Since this is in a more mainstream genre then LoL maybe this will finally what breaks the CGI hate bubble that most anime watchers seem to be in.

[shadow knot]

I mean you have d4dj

[hot notch]

That's technically idol isn't it?

[shadow knot]

don’t recall any scene that is 2D in that show

[hot notch]

With things like Bocchi being incredibly popular GBC I feel like has real potential to be the next big CGDCT music show, and to ease people in to CGI anime by extension.

[shadow knot]

bocchi the rock is insanely creative (huge appeal) and references a lot of j-rock bands (me appeal)

idk what GBC would offer though

[hot notch]

It's only the first episode but being in a non school setting is immediately in this shows favor imo. Separates it from the other big ones like Bocchi and K-ON.

Idk. It just gives me that feeling like it's gonna take off. One of the big AniTubers is gonna see this and like it and that'll spark a wave of all the AniTubers covering it.

.

guess time will tell since it has opportunities to excel or fall off

The non-school setting + the (at least implied so far) more serious story beats/sources of tension is the biggest immediate difference I can see.

Bocchi and K-On both have their charm in following their struggles to make it big, but no one in either of those shows will be homeless if they dont sell enough cds. Plus, the phone call scene implies to me that the MCs parents are not supportive of her choices.

[long peak]

It's not like it's just the VA changing it, if it's improv'd, the director has to clear it
