Personal taste, but I cant stand CN dubs

fair wedge
#

then dont watch a dub xd

topaz linden
#

Yee

#

Been nice having the option of JP dubs lately for them

fair wedge
#

bleh

#

xdddd

topaz linden
#

No one's making you watch them lol

fair wedge
#

guess i have to wait for the jp sub to come out or look deeper for a eng sub

ionic schooner
#

Who's link and why did they click

edgy bone
#

george is a ninja now!!

edgy bone
#

omg it's golden

long peak
#

These two run a photo development shop, and they double as detectives

edgy bone
#

Stoic smart guy

ionic schooner

edgy bone
#

omg

#

he's disguised so well he just looks like a regular monkey!!

ionic schooner
edgy bone
#

i'd never have thought he was a ninja!!

fair wedge
#

real shit tho why yellow

ionic schooner
#

That's the power of me the ninjamonkey

fair wedge
#

why did bro obsess over yellow

edgy bone
#

i still can't believe jake gave birth to such a majestic creature

ionic schooner
#

Cause bananas are yellow (THEYRE NOT GREEN)

fair wedge
#

i vaugely remember there being one ep where it shows the man's lore but i forgot

edgy bone
ionic schooner
#

Yeah

fair wedge
edgy bone
#

ah

fair wedge
#

why did the man obsess over yellow

ionic schooner
#

Guys is yellow guy the enemy to purple guy

edgy bone
#

i think it's just so it's a simple thing for kids to distinguish him by

ionic schooner
#

Cause a man with a yellow hat saved him as a child

edgy bone
#

ACTUALLY

#

IIRC

#

in the movie

#

it shows him getting the yellow hat

#

and he kept wearing it cuz it made it easy for george to recognize him in that?

#

i think

#

i may be making that up it's been a long time

edgy bone
#

from george the ninja monkey?

ionic schooner
#

Yall know George has 8 phds

ionic schooner
fair wedge
#

chilly lynx
#

Like, curious george?

edgy bone
#

who else?

tidal shore
#

george the majestic

edgy bone
#

never heard of em

#

must not be as famous as curious george

#

but what can you do

#

very few people are

lean drum
#

girls band cry is a good 3D anime so far

tidal shore
#

still uncanny tho

mighty cape
#

it looks kino

#

doesn't look off by much at all even

#

@lean drum

mighty cape
#

#

george of the jungle!

lean drum
chilly lynx
#

Curious George Of The Apes

tidal shore
#

from what I've read there's a shit ton of mistranslations and mtl-adjacent bs

lean drum
#

yeah but

tidal shore
#

really took me out of it

lean drum
#

if you've watched enough anime you can get the gist of what's going on

tidal shore
#

nah

lean drum
#

i can easily tells there's lots of mistranslations

lean drum
#

but the story and music is actually really good

mighty cape
#

call me when Biden Blast

tidal shore
#

I'm not watching just to get a "gist" of it lol

#

if I wanted to read poor translations I'd boot up any mtl chinese wuxia web novel

lean drum
#

in any case it's the best 3D anime i've ever seen

#

truth be told the only other 3D anime i watched was Rwby lol

#

speaking of Rwby that got it's own spin off called the ice queendom or something

#

as an actual 2D anime

tidal shore
#

yeah anime has a really poor track record when it comes to 3D

#

with a few exceptions

lean drum
#

chainsawman utilised 3D work well

#

but it's not a 3D anime

tidal shore
#

I don't mean just utilising it in some scenes

#

but choosing it as an aesthetic altogether

lean drum
#

yeah i dont actually know any 3D animes besides the one i am watching

tidal shore
#

well there's

lean drum
#

i think there was an isekai one in the winter

tidal shore
#

berserk 2016

lean drum
#

but that was so trash

#

isn't beserk that weird 18+ anime that had tonnes of blood and gore in it?

tidal shore
#

Ajin, Lands of the Lustrous, Beastars, the one we're talking about rn, Promare, Belle (my fav music group did an opening for it), Dorohedoro, Ghost in the Shell

#

all 3D

lean drum
#

oooh ghost in the shell is one i recognise

#

didn't scarlett johansen star in a live action movie of that?

tidal shore
#

Idk

#

I just know that it's a cult classic, never watched it personally

lean drum
#

yeah it did

#

im sure it did

#

lemme look it up

#

it wasnt popular at all

#

42% on rotten tomatoes

tidal shore
#

the live action thing you talked about?

lean drum
#

yeah

tidal shore
#

I was thinking 1995 version

lean drum
#

it had scarlett johansen as the protagonist

#

she's the black widow from marvel

tidal shore
#

who

lean drum
#

but the movie bombed it seems

tidal shore
#

oh the redhead

lean drum
#

yeah

#

in any case what animes currently releasing are you watching?

tidal shore
#

none

lean drum
#

none of them interest you?

#

i'll give my currently watching list

tidal shore
#

I kinda just

#

can't find anything interesting anymore, maybe there will be 1 or 2 anime a year that will make me watch it through, but that's it really

lean drum
#

Jellyfish can't swim in the night
Girls band cry
Mushoku Tensei
That time I got reincarnated as a slime
The new gate
Whisper me a love song
Re:Monster
Chillin' in another world with level 2 super powers (might drop this)

#

I think my favourite of those is whisper me a love song

tidal shore
#

i've read like half of them in manga/novel form a few years ago lol

tidal shore
lean drum
#

ive started reading a bunch recently too

#

yuri anime plus they sing a lot

tidal shore
#

girls love

#

ok nvm I get it

lean drum
#

the romance is very cute

#

aweh shucks i wanted to watch season 3 of laidback camp but i started rewatching the entire anime and i still havent caught up to season 3 yet

#

well anyway i wanted to say i've started reading light novels

#

specifically to find out what happens in so i'm a spider, so what?

#

but im probably going to read other fantasy novels too like in the land of leadale, wandering witch the journey of elaina and ascendance of a bookworm

#

im off to do something idk what yet so bye

tidal shore
#

bye

#

seems like an interesting selection, just don't get discouraged with all the exposition 😅

#

ok i sleep now

edgy bone

#

Im also not big on Monogatari but for somewhat different reasons

#

Namely I’m not that big on its direction

#

Im still open to reading the novels but anime? I don’t think I vibe well with its artistry save for the Kizumonogatari films

dusty fable
rancid ledge
#

so whats the hype with monogatari??

dusty fable
#

Dialogues. Scenes. Mystique. Fan service. Not much else

edgy bone
#

i watched all of season 1 and it felt p easy to grasp

#

you just need to pay attention to what's happening on the screen at all times

#

it does punish you more than the usual anime for letting your mind trail off or getting distracted

dusty fable
#

basically, Monogatari is almost exemplary case of "show, don't tell". People are not very used to it

rancid ledge
#

oh its the anime with the toothbrush scene, okay

dusty fable
#

Meh, fan service is there just so that you don't blow the fuse, if you decide to dig into what is happening

rancid ledge
#

what was the anime again that had the america ya?

dusty fable
#

ya?

#

My Hero Academy had it (sort of, I don't think it was in manga, or until later?)

edgy bone
#

it was academia

#

you had it right the first time

#

alsot it's not what teru is talking about

rancid ledge
#

azumanga daioh thats the name

#

this girl is gonna give me nichijou vibes

rancid ledge
#

does anyone watch class of tge elite??

#

what are yall thoughts on it?

dusty fable
#

MC is just boring unfortunately. The story is good though

rancid ledge
#

Ayanokoji right?

dusty fable
#

yes

#

There is implied depth that was never revealed. So I am not sure if there is any depth of character

rancid ledge
#

I think hes someone that manipulates others I think?

dusty fable
#

Kinda. But it's not descriptive of his character. He is not manipulative, he is rather blank, but utilizes manipulation as means towards ends

#

By which I mean, if we say someone is manipulative we also attribute a bunch of supportive characteristics. Like maybe such person is also scheming, conniving or maybe nefarious. He is neither of those. So his manipulativeness is not part of his character

rancid ledge
#

what does “means towards ends” mean? what makes him so boring?

dusty fable
#

Well, as I said, all his characteristics are not part of his character, these characteristics don't deepen him. They are more like clothes. Like a tuxedo that was put on just because the person had to visit a formal evening gathering.

rancid ledge
#

okay so not manipulativeness. alright, i guess theres more than just that.

shadow knot
#

if you wanna watch monogatari without all the lavish direction it beholds by the hands of nisioisin

#

watch bunny girl senpai

#

its lowkey the same show

rancid ledge
#

i may have seen clips of it

shadow knot
edgy bone
#

yea i used to know a lot of peeps that loved the novels

shadow knot
#

adaptation is poorly paced and jambles up the order of events

rancid ledge
shadow knot
#

100%

#

I only liked that one scene where ayanokouji fought class C it was like a guilty pleasure watch

#

in S2

high storm
#

Tried to watch monogatari and all the text flashes gave me a headache trying to follow them ngl

edgy bone
#

you dont really need to read em

high storm
#

Nuh uh

#

I do

edgy bone
#

they give you some extra context but it's not necesary to follow along

high storm
#

Why would they be put there if not for that

#

Smh

dusty fable
#

you don't drink a river. You let it wash over you

shadow knot
#

its just usual shinbo style

edgy bone
#

it's a stylistic choice to adapt the protag's internal monologues that dont normally work for a tv show

high storm
#

Well I don't fuck with "shinbo" whatever that is

shadow knot
#

like "omg the scene cut numbers to transition scene to scene is so cool awau" type shit

rancid ledge
#

so what are the characteristics of ayanokoji's character?? is he really that boring??

edgy bone
#

teru why do you keep asking other people to explain characters or storylines to you

shadow knot
#

I think bro wants a summary from us lol

edgy bone
#

try to experience all those things yourself and make your own conclusions

high storm
#

Or misinterpreted by fanbase

#

Yeagerbomb was a thing that existed at one point at time after all lmao

rancid ledge
edgy bone
#

but do you have your own opinions on the matter

#

cuz from the way you talk about it it kinda sounds like you dont

dusty fable
#

He is not a bad character though. As a story actor he does pretty well. He advances the story, and he is proactive. From the story point of view, he is decently designed

high storm
#

Yeah wake up you sheeple

#

Or smth lol

rancid ledge
edgy bone
#

why not

rancid ledge
#

if i did say a opinion, itd probably be invalid

shadow knot
#

if I want opinions I just look at reviews on MAL/AL

high storm
#

There is no "right" opinion silly

#

Everybody interprets things their own way

next crescent
#

your opinion is an opinion and inherently valid

high storm
rancid ledge
#

well sometimes i say “your opinion is invalid” because i dont want to hear what a stupid person has to say

shadow knot
#

teruko finna invalidate kvitsev rn

rancid ledge

its not?

high storm
rancid ledge
#

NO NO IM NOT GOING TO, WAIT A SECOND

#

high storm
#

If anything I prefer old version

rancid ledge
shadow knot
#

darker ending

high storm
#

It was more grim and gritty

shadow knot

based

and it showed wrath as a homonculus too

high storm

Brotherhood IS good no questions but I like original more

shadow knot
#

lotgh fans were cooking tbh that should've deserved #1 instead of uh
frieren rn

rancid ledge
#

always stick with the original

high storm
rancid ledge
#

also another one, how about the monster anime? the one with tenma

high storm
#

It honestly does deserve the spot if you commit to watching it

dusty fable
#

what is lotgh lmao

high storm
#

I watched it few years ago but I can't remember even 1 character I didn't find interesting

Legend of the galactic heroes

dusty fable

high storm

It is a reeeeeeally slow burn

looks like gundam 0079

high storm

No it is fucking not

next crescent
#

okat

shadow knot
#

LMAO

#

yeah bro this looks like macross

high storm
#

This looks nothing like it

dusty fable
high storm
#

It's literally a story that is a grandparent to code geass and other "mind game" manga or anime

#

The book was published in mfing 80's

#

Well, series of books

rancid ledge
#

also do yall watch berserk or read the manga?

high storm
#

Berserk 1997 was awesome ofc but maaan the manga does live up to the hype

#

Most recent chapter came out 2 or 3 days ago and they are cooking

#

Berserk was my first ever anime actually, watched it in 2 sittings

topaz linden
high storm
#

And then I was thinking "Well, that anime wasn't some gay ass chinese cartoon actually, maybe it's not all too bad" and went to watch to Jojo

shadow knot

dusty fable
high storm
#

Best mecha is Gurenn Lagann and AoT anyways why bother watching anything else

shadow knot
#

ttgl is one of my only 10s I do think its the best mecha

edgy bone
#

does it really count as a mecha

#

it has mecha aesthetic but the writing style and themes and all that jazz is 100% shonen

high storm
#

How do you not count it as a mecha

#

Mecha doesn't have to be about politics

dusty fable
#

ttgl is definitely mecha

edgy bone
#

ig it depends on how you define what a mecha is

shadow knot
#

I think juca might be a thematic purist when it comes to the mecha genre

high storm
edgy bone
#

no i mean like

dusty fable
#

usually it is defined as "robots with pilots"

edgy bone
#

lagann's "piloting a mecha" is just that show's version of a shonen power up

shadow knot
#

because ttgl definitely has not a lot to do with primary mecha themes

edgy bone
#

they use bigger robots in the same way dragon ball uses higher super sayan forms

edgy bone
#

and yea what boolit said

high storm
#

Simple as

shadow knot
#

like I don't really fw gaogaigar as much which is probably the purest mecha anime I've seen

edgy bone
high storm
#

I will take gurenn lagann mechas any time over smth like darling in the franxx

#

God it was dogshit

shadow knot
#

ditf is just zoomer eva

#

literally copied

high storm
#

Such pure waifu bait it's insane

shadow knot
#

because trigger

high storm
#

I never watched eva but I bet it's 100 times better

shadow knot
#

I thought the show was mid but the movie is kino

#

I would say eoe > rebuilds > ditf = eva show

high storm
#

I just know eva won't live up to the insane praise it gets so I don't bother watching it because I will only be let down

#

Hype kills stuff for me

dusty fable
#

eva is not hype though, lol

high storm
#

It is praised a LOT in weeb communities

edgy bone
high storm
#

My expectations are too high for eva to actually impress me

dusty fable
high storm
topaz linden
#

^

high storm
#

It really isn't niche

topaz linden
#

Honestly confused af about that take lol

shadow knot
#

there are things that I like about eva, the cool robot aesthetics and classical inserts
that's probably it because in terms of the psychological aspects and plot/story I've watched better

#

and its not deep

#

anno literally thought christianity is cool so he shoved a bunch of them for fun

high storm
#

90% of weebs most likely watched eva because it is "a classic"

#

Nothing niche about that lol

rancid ledge
#

evangelion is awesome

dusty fable
rancid ledge
#

i havent watched the end of evagelion yet though

high storm
#

Eva fans are one of the most pretentious fans on earth

topaz linden
#

Problem for me is that Eva combines my least favorite genres together KEK
I can see objectively that production-wise it's incredibly well (at least in animation, not familiar with the story). But it is never going to be something I enjoy 😂

shadow knot
#

as someone who's delved into most of gainax and trigger's catalogue

#

I'd rather watch something batshit fun like ttgl and edgerunners lmao

high storm
#

Ofc

#

Show doesn't have to be "deep" and "profound" to be enjoyable

#

While I do enjoy smth like Sonny boy I wouldn't say that I could watch ONLY shows like that

topaz linden
#

I still need to get around to watching Edgerunners... I've seen a ton of good AMVs with it, but havent gotten around to the show itaelf 👀

high storm
#

God knows I hate AMVs and all the cringe comments below such videos

dusty fable
high storm
#

My previous roommate was only watching anime he seen in fucking phonk AMVs

shadow knot
#

I think sonny boy is great but again
eva show mid for me

high storm
#

Bro is like a racoon digging in trash

dusty fable
#

one could do worse

#

god I love the soundtrack

high storm
#

That one is kinda good actually

dusty fable
high storm
#

It's like I watched FLCL again

shadow knot
#

rewatched that 3 times lol

#

speedran the sequels because... yeah

high storm
#

Don't even bring them up

#

In my mind mind it just ended where season 1 ended

#

I watched a good 150 animes but I only rewatched FLCL and ttgl

#

Such goated shows

#

Also Steins:gate, it's good

#

Fucking love time travel, Re:zero, Stein's gate, Link click, Summer time rendering

#

All great shows surprisingly enough

dusty fable
#

You should watch "Ore dake ga inai machi"

#

very good take on time travel

high storm
#

I forgor

#

Sorry

#

I also don't think that ending was that bad

#

It was alright

#

It didn't make show like unwatchable or smth

dusty fable
#

it's a good ending for people savvy in time travel stories tbh

#

it goes slightly off the script

shadow knot
#

how it got to the ending was very rushed
even the live action adapted the source material properly

high storm
#

I can't believe it myself but I honestly think Erased is not that amazing when compared to some other time travel shows

#

I think Link Click is better

shadow knot
#

it is better

high storm
#

The fucking cliffhangers, the emotions ugh

#

So good

topaz linden
# high storm Is "No happy endings" naruto AMV?...

Never seen that one tbh (never got into Naruto), but some of the most creative editing/directing I've seen has come from AMVs. The amount of talent out there is insane.

Like the way this one for Nisekoi uses frames is just perfect
https://youtu.be/mJzXmP1dYTs

I felt like making a video with frames and sliding panels.
Its got a little bit of drama, romance, fun, and what have you.

Ain't shit "drama" about itE_OMEGARAZOR

#

It's just horny gambling with some suspense

topaz linden
#

Literally the first tag for it on MAL lol

dusty fable
#

you might not like these AMVs, but you still have to appreciate the editing

high storm
topaz linden
#

Main point was Kakegurei is very much not a slasher horror, which is exactly how the AMV frames it KEK

high storm
#

It really isn't going to make you cry

#

If anything kakegurui is funny as hell

topaz linden
#

Personal favorite is the "fake trailer" ones. Where they take one show and edit it to line up with the trailer of another.

Like someone editing the Lego anime movie to line up with Edgerunner's trailer:
https://youtu.be/yqjqYv-u5KI

Video: Lego Monkie Kid
Audio: Cyberpunk: Edgerunners NSFW trailer

Konosuba is easily my favourite guilty pleasure

It's so childish but it is so good

#

I fucking LOVE Wiz

#

She is so cute and pretty and awesome and I like purple:)

craggy mango
#

Now i remember why was Holo a top tier waifu

lean drum
#

ah that's an anime i need to catch up on as well

rancid ledge
#

looking forward to shield hero though too

tidal shore
#

and no one knew about it

#

until Owari S2 hit the top 1 rated on Mal and everyone suddenly woke up

#

kek

#

too bad you aren't keen on it, I found that the artistic direction is the main thing that kept me watching (aside from dialogue)

#

the use of composition for visual storytelling kinda blew my mind away

edgy bone
#

did you really scroll that far up

tidal shore
#

discord left off there

#

I should rewatch it tbh

#

tell don't show and all that

high storm
#

Third one was a bit better

#

But not on level of the first one

tidal shore
#

im ngl

#

shield hero was goated until it went harem route

high storm
#

Even first one wasn't exactly "perfect" too

high storm
tidal shore
#

how many isekai try to tell a serious story?

high storm
#

Very few I suppose

tidal shore
#

how many isekai actually rely on tension, build an intricate world, and have multifaceted characters?

high storm
#

Mushoku Tensei:)

tidal shore
#

well yeah, if you can get past all the bullshit

high storm
#

True

tidal shore
#

I want to see more Isekai along the lines of Shield Hero

#

re:zero another good example\

high storm
#

Sheesh yeah re:zero is isekai even though it really doesn't matter

#

Like at all lmao

tidal shore
#

yeah

#

Faraway Paladin did well for a bit (manga/novel)

#

hmm

high storm
#

Do we count Sonny boy?

tidal shore
#

I also like Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash, but that's a bit of a weird one

high storm
#

They did go into another universe per definition

tidal shore
high storm
tidal shore
#

ahhh are we stretching the isekai term now

high storm
#

That's why I said do we count

tidal shore
#

technically Youjo Senki is an isekai

high storm
#

Because they did go to other universe

#

To quite a few actually

tidal shore
#

sure, i don't mind lol

#

it looks interesting

#

I will check it out

rancid ledge
#

also lemme say something about the other heroes

#

they are fucking stupid and dumb as fuck.

tidal shore
#

kek

high storm
#

And the "cool" moment with green haired girl

#

And mc had wings for like a fight

#

I laughed my ass off it was so bad

#

And the best thing about 3rd season is the dragon fights, they actually spent all budget on that

#

It was a good decision too ngl

rancid ledge
#

at least raphtalia with a katana is badass

tidal shore
#

what about when they get ||sent to prison in another "world"|| in Shield Hero, and then they ||form a combined party to fight against the traitor guy, only to realise that there's more at stake and something about worlds taking out each other??? something about war??? idk||

#

idk if this is still anime territory

high storm
tidal shore
#

it's like chapter 80+

rancid ledge
#

and i love naofumis outfit tbh

oh

#

okayyyy

#

Can't wait for fucking bird girl to get her own sacred weapon somehow too while we at it

high storm
rancid ledge
#

oh the “worthy” part, I see

high storm
#

It's like if in Naruto everyone had a sharingan

#

It would lose all the cool and unique factor

#

That's why we only have a handful of users for that

#

Even less for Rinnegan

rancid ledge
#

is a sharingan that rare? because if you had mangekyo, you can just put someone in a genjutsu

high storm
#

You don't need mangekyo for that

tidal shore
#

hmm I guess Shield Hero is still kinda trashy

high storm
#

Unless you mean izanami and other one

rancid ledge
high storm
#

That's just 5 dudes

#

And Naruto has almost like 100+ named characters

rancid ledge

and 700 episodes in shippuden

high storm
edgy bone
#

this whole conversation sounds like people who have only been passively exposed to naruto from 3rd parties and are trying to figure out the plot based on that

high storm
#

Sharingan is an awesome ocular technique

#

Which can upgrade

rancid ledge
#

i dont get how shield hero season 2 is so bad, i cant comprehend it

#

unless thats just me

high storm
#

Like they are rushing sooo much

#

I haven't read the manga but I bet they cut out a lot

rancid ledge
#

i dont see anything forced, no... A_HuCry

high storm
#

Also action was pretty subpar ngl

#

Gravity magic sounds cool asf but not everyone can be C-Moon A_GaspTao

rancid ledge
#

theres also another anime im conflicted to watch

#

bungou stray dogs

high storm
#

Shipper bait

#

It's decent, watched 4 seasons or so

rancid ledge
#

people are down bad for dazai and chuuya

high storm
#

But fanbase just kind of sucks

rancid ledge
#

or just shipping them

high storm
#

They just ship characters that's it

edgy bone

detective conan is awesome if you like a mystery series

Too long of a time investment

im gonna watch class of elite to take a look

# rancid ledge what animes do you watch?

Mostly stuff that's airing right now or giving a try to some new hot thing everyone talks about, very rarely just sit down and watch a full season of a thing if I have the time

#

I watch like 2-3 episodes a week usually

#

I read manga more

rancid ledge
#

also if theres a trash anime, theres elfen lied and vampire knight

high storm
#

Most recent garbage I saw was probably Ishura

#

I get what it supposed to do and set up

#

But I just didn't like the execution

#

Characters have fairly interesting abilities though

rancid ledge
#

as for romance animes, rent a girlfriend.

high storm
#

Hottest trash of all time

#

I do like something that wears a disguise like Dog Ningen

#

It just pretends to be goody aah manga

#

Has one of the best stand alone manga chapters ever

rancid ledge
#

at least Inuyasha is fucking good.

#

first anime I ever watched.

#

I did watch pokemon in japanese though

high storm
rancid ledge
#

which anime is this?

high storm
#

Legit in tears after just looking for these panels

#

I ofc cut out the rest of the chapter but not often do you see such a great description of guilt if you were 'just doing my job'

rancid ledge
#

whats the manga name??

high storm
#

Dog Ningen

#

Yuh

#

The name is very uuuuh

#

Provoking

#

But like look I feel for all the Guts backstory stuff and similar

high storm
# high storm

But this, this is real, that is how things happen, this is life

rancid ledge
#

reminds me of monster

high storm
#

You could not be further

#

It's actually phenomenal how such a goofy scandalous almost parody of a manga can pull out stuff like this

#

The way how author deals with child abuse and depression in his manga convinces me that he had experienced all of that to some extent

tidal shore
#

dam

#

sadge

rancid ledge
#

how about re zero?? what are yall thoughts on it??

high storm
#

Good

outer scaffold
craggy mango
edgy bone
#

it always feels weird to see a manga youve been following for a long time get an anime and then screenshots from it being used in memes

#

it's kinda like watching a kid grow but

#

more cringe

tidal shore
#

what the heck do you mean

#

31 months a year

edgy bone
#

americans write dates backwards

#

and if you dont know that as a kid you'll think 31 is referring to the month not the day since that's what youre used to

tidal shore
#

oh

#

yeah

#

the most impractical

mighty cape
# tidal shore the use of composition for visual storytelling kinda blew my mind away

I was feeling it around episode 1 believe me. But after that? It’s effect wore off fast, unlike with other Shaft shows like Madoka. Among other things Nisio’s written, I was beginning to find the seemingly superfluous dialogue a bad match with its visuals and compositions more often than not. Stopped at midway Nisemonogatari before giving up on the anime entirely (Kizumonogatari being the one potential exception cuz it looks like sth I’d actually vibe with).

edgy bone
#

the gyaru

high storm
#

Having friends who lived in Japan the way they describe normal girls it sounds so frustrating to date them

#

I too would prefer a gyaru

rancid ledge
#

any peeps a digimon lover??

tidal shore
#

my first anime was digimon

#

I didn't even know it was anime back then

#

and I had a period where I thought all cartoons are for kids and I am not a kid but I still secretly watched them lmao

#

imagine it took me 10 years to learn that digimon is an anime

#

still pretty cool, would pick this over pokemon any day

#

don't hit me

rancid ledge
#

yeah, digimon is just digimonsters

#

its a great concept

tidal shore
#

yeah

#

also

#

I felt so smart when I noticed that every digimon ended with a "mon" in name

rancid ledge
#

instead of saying that digimon is a “ripoff” of pokemon, people should just watch it

#

then we can talk

tidal shore
#

even if they say its a rip off

#

i think rip offs are needed

rancid ledge
#

its just a unfunny joke in general and ofc its gonna piss ppl off

high storm
#

Digimon is Pokémon on acid

#

Have seen like a season or two and then was lost where to continue

tidal shore
#

I have to admit

#

this season makes me feel like it's 2016 all over again

#

is there a cute girls doing homeless things anime

edgy bone
#

Digimon is older than pokemon

tidal shore
#

busteeeeeed

edgy bone
#

At least for the anime

#

The franchise is slightly younger but the difference is too small for them to have copied each other

#

They have different inspirations too

#

Pokemon was based on old jrpgs

#

Digimon was based on tamagochi

tidal shore
#

crazy

#

I remember having one of those

#

or at least one of the derivatives

rancid ledge
#

there's also Digimon adventure 2020

chilly lynx
#

I watched Digimon last week

edgy bone
#

finally got around to reading the dr stone 4d chapters

#

what a good way to send off this story

#

the final twist at the end got me really good too

#

man i love this series

#

hope the authors make something similar in the future

rancid ledge
#

okay so I watched classroom of the elite

#

on episode 6 now

#

kudisha is a fucking bitch

#

or was it kushida

shadow knot
#

expected

rancid ledge
#

anyways the first five episodes are pretty good and interesting

edgy bone
#

and you'd never have found that out if you had just blindly listened to other people

rancid ledge
#

mmm that's true

tidal shore
#

til

#

well i knew most of this, but I didn't stop to think about the bureaucratic culture

ionic schooner
#

I'm too lazy to watch the video

topaz linden
# ionic schooner Is the anime zom 100

At least from what I can tell skimming through it, it seems to be Kannagi, a 2008 slice of life by A1 Pictures. The guy then uses that as a stepping stone to talk about the rest of A1 Pictures' problematic shows & the industry as a whole

ionic schooner
#

Oh

tidal shore
#

tbh

#

bro could've spent like 20 minutes less talking about it, too much irrelevant fluff

craggy mango
#

Im very happy with Konosuba this season

#

The new studio has done very good job adapting story from LN, which is way better than the previous 2 seasons

shadow knot
#

good to hear

craggy mango
#

There are some content that still left behind such as ||Aqua little magic on Katsuragi ring|| but its fine

#

Also the animation its also gradually better

topaz linden
#

The dub crew is also great as always 👀

#

Glad to see em back in action

craggy mango
#

I dont watch the dub, but its nice to hear

#

The current arc should end in 2 more episodes, let see how they land the ending

high storm
#

Konosuba is still pretty funny which matters the most

topaz linden
craggy mango
#

They are really good, clearly better than a lot of dub anime that i have seen

#

Especially Darkness and Dullahan va

topaz linden
#

Dullahan's VA killed it lol

rancid ledge
topaz linden
#

man, the dub not being out for Ep 3 yet is killing me

#

||Princess Iris|| was one of my favorite characters from the non-anime media, and Ep 3 is all her HuTaoPepeHands

high storm
#

She is so adorable

#

Really like her so far

#

Someone normal in the cast for once lol

prisma furnace
edgy bone
#

fuck why is this so catchy

craggy mango
tidal shore
#

this is FF7 Cloud's sword tho

edgy bone
#

it's also not as heavy as it's supposed to be in those stories

tidal shore
#

does this one weigh 100kg?

edgy bone
#

doubt

tidal shore
#

yeah

high storm
#

Also I wouldn't expect a recreation of dragon slayer to be 1-to-1 since almost never edge is exactly how depicted

next crescent
#

That and depending on the material used, it could be lighter than expected

#

Normal swords only ever weighed roughly 3lbs

#

If that's made with the same thickness and material it might only be like 20lbs

tidal shore
#

it's supposed to be a hunk of steel

#

7kg sword wouldn't really be that

#

I do wonder how much it weighs in the video

edgy bone
#

it's an old video

#

and it's also cut off

#

i saw a longer version of it like a year ago

#

you can look up the guy's name

high storm
#

It still looks pretty fucking cool ey

fluid tinsel
#

Where can we get subtitles of actual dubs?

#

There are times I can't understand what they say in dub.

chilly lynx
#

What they doing to Neko Arc?

topaz linden
#

What needs to be done

high storm
#

She is immortal anyways I bet

#

La creatura is both everything and nothing at once, it will survive

chilly lynx
#

Dang

#

They making Neko Arc Flambe

high storm
#

Did you know you can already drink a neco arc in liquid form?

#

Pilk

#

Drinking pilk on empty stomach is the closest alive person can be to feeling like their soul has been banished

#

Do make it 60% milk 40% pepsi to feel the full extent of this truly heartbreaking experience which is bound to change you as a person

chilly lynx
#

Ahh yes

#

The killing your stomach experience

high storm
#

But not this fucked up

#

I even drank it in my office and coworkers said I was fucking nasty

#

Which, to be fair, was completely justified

#

I might have done despicable acts to own body with that liquid but NOT right after brushing teeth, that's too much

Which anime OP?

@edgy bone

ionic schooner

I never play it anymore but it was cool ig

fervent hollow
#

hiiii, yall got any manga suggestions in general? mostly for mysteries or depression

mighty cape
ionic schooner
#

Neco arc was cool

tidal shore
long peak
mighty cape
#

but anime OPs used for a visual novel remake of Tsukihime

#

it's actually coming out in ENglish

#

but already has a fan translation

#

there's a second half of the story that still has not been released yet tho

rancid ledge
#

okay so tsukihime, alright

topaz linden
shadow knot
#

classic asano

#

unfortunately his best, the others aren't really strong hits unless dddd cope

topaz linden
#

man, I had such high hopes for dddd

#

but it feels like the author kinda just pulled a "I am a Hero" and gave up towards the end lol

high storm
#

Dddd was weird

#

Didn't like it nearly as much ngl

#

But the "parallel universe" part was fucking awesome

#

And she said smth like "Maybe I can fly?" I let out audible gasp watching things unfold lol

#

Also some panels looked really really fucking cool

#

Girl on the shore was very much not to my liking, and nasty and weird don't recommend hella uncomfortable read

high storm
#

Story was pretty realistic though I knew a few people in similar situation

next crescent
#

Dddd?

high storm
next crescent
#

Ooooh

#

I've never seen or heard of it before

#

It looks cute

high storm
#

It's Asano

#

You can't assume good things with this dude as author

edgy bone
#

sir im counting 8 ds in that title not 4

high storm
#

I am not writing dddddddd

#

Shit has some insane art pieces tho ngl

#

Also this one still fucking creeps me out

edgy bone
#

ooooo

high storm
#

Not masterpiece, not terrible, vigilante arc easily my favourite part

#

Ontan and her brother are pretty funny tho, loved her character

shadow knot
#

2nd best asano is the consensus so I’m just gonna stick with that and not continue it

high storm
#

Like "If we got super powers what type of heroes would we be bro? Haha"

#

Fake amnesia is a plot twist in a few manga iirc

high storm
high storm
#

Not the best tropes I've heard of...

long peak
#

Yeah the reverses are kinda ass

#

Fake amnesia is already a minor trope

#

And there's plenty of minor characters that love everyone but the mc

high storm
#

If anything I wanna see legit a character recovering from actual amnesia and experiencing many things for the first time

#

Sounds sweet

long peak
#

I swear there's a plot like that

#

But I couldn't name it for the life of me

high storm
#

Imagine like a romance manga with NORMAL and LOVING gf not some crazy stereotype off twitter crazies and story about how she and her partner fall in love again

topaz linden
# fervent hollow I'll reconsider it onto my list, i just couldnt find enough on what it is ngl

TL;DR Summary:
Shy girl curious about the Seven (supernatural) Mysteries of the school ends up getting herself involved with Hanako-kun, seventh of the Seven Mysteries and the self-imposed overseer of them, maintaining the balance when they get out of line.

In exchange for helping her avoid an unpleasant fate at the hands of one of these, she agrees to help Hanako-kun with his tasks, but between the other Six Mysteries, outsiders looking to hunt/use the supernatural phenomenom at the school, and Hanako's own dark secrets, her role as his assistant winds up dragging her into supernatural worlds, sinister plots, and her own complicated relationship with the ghost she helps but knows nothing about.

long peak
#

Sweat and Soap is also pretty normal

high storm
#

But thanks for pointing out things like that exist

long peak
#

There's plenty of them, they're just not super well known

high storm
long peak
#

Oh, you should also watch Skip and Loafer

high storm
#

I really don't like watching either slice of life or romance

long peak
#

Damn

high storm
#

It just makes you feel you are missing out on life when it's just not a realistic depiction and just makes you kinda feel bad

topaz linden
high storm
#

1 Slice of life I watched was Senko san tho

long peak
#

Maybe it's because I'm in a loving relationship that I find it cute A_smolhutao

high storm
#

Airing during winter it was a feel-good show

topaz linden
#

Senko san is very comfy

long peak
#

Actually, I can just @ my gf, she's the one who recommended all of those to me

high storm
long peak
#

Well yeah they're a little goofy, but they have to be a bit unrealistic to be able to sell copies and stay in the business

high storm
#

Romanticising things that just won't happen is bad actually

long peak
#

Cause unfortunately, normal life is kinda boring

high storm
topaz linden
#

Personally, Something About Us is the closest I've seen to a "romance drama" that didnt feel forced/unrealistic.

Actually managed to have drama where you really could feel for where both sides were coming from

high storm
#

I don't like slice of life exactly because real life is plenty interesting

#

Why get invested in someone's life

topaz linden
#

Plus its uni romance, which is rare as well sadly

long peak
#

I mean yeah, some aspects of real life are plenty interesting, but for a fictional story, it's hard to be able to slow things down to be 100% realistic and no out of the ordinary things happen

high storm
#

Well I prefer real world problems and achievements over fictional, really can't get behind the idea of warming up to 2d characters

#

I am blessed with good parents and kind friends fortunately

#

I just don't get some of those animes

long peak
#

So you just prefer action

#

That's totally fine

topaz linden
#

This feels like the inverse of the "why would I interact with 3d" types KEK

long peak
#

Yeah-

high storm
#

I mean action is not something I could even potentially do

long peak
#

Then I'm confused as to what genre you like

high storm
#

I could never be a mfing black swordman so now that it won't happen ever I can't be disappointed

long peak
#

Ohhhh

high storm
long peak
#

So what you're saying is, you like watching things that could never actually happen to you

high storm
#

I love pondering and thinking I fw that

long peak
#

And slice of life stuff emulates normal life, which you see as kind of boring and pointless to watch, as you can just experience it

#

Okay I see I see

high storm
#

Only things that do apply are ideas from more like, "deep" as people call it manga

long peak
#

I got the totally wrong read on this

high storm
#

Why would I, been human all life, shit is boring

long peak
#

So you probably like stuff like the standard shonens and the like, in addition to stuff like vagabond, berserk, 20th century boys, and I'm gonna reach here, but maybe Blame! ?

#

Blame! seems like it'd be up your alley

high storm
#

But other two yes were incredible

high storm
long peak
#

I still have to read vagabond and berserk

#

But I'm waiting on berserk to finish to read it

high storm
#

Oof

#

That's a tall task

long peak
#

Ikokku Nikki seems 100% up your alley too

high storm
long peak
#

It's a life changing read

edgy bone
long peak
#

At least it did for me

edgy bone
#

it's being handled by a different author now

#

and the difference is noticeable

high storm
edgy bone
#

if you wanted to read kentaro miura's berserk it's all there already

high storm
#

Chapter 3-4 days ago has nice set-up

long peak
#

Yeah, but I'm willing to wait for the full story, personally

high storm
#

Both characters just seem like normal people how could it possibly be interesting

long peak
#

Well the first chapter is nothing

#

You need to hit at least chapter 7

high storm
#

I love mentally ill and miserable characters and crazies

#

So fun to watch those

#

Well, not really "fun" in the definition but more so entertaining

long peak
high storm
#

Ain't shit fun about Punpun

long peak
#

Genuinely blew my mind with how accurate it was

high storm
#

I would to try and better a woman like her, reminds me of my ex really, almost 1 to 1 but not a streamer lol

#

I looooove exploring mental illnesses, any schizos reading this I fw your mindset

#

Human brain is so fun to poke into and discover things, I think I might be mentally ill, never once been to therapist to diagnose, but I looove exploring into human mind and try to figure out people

fervent hollow
#

But

#

Now its fighting with tokyo ghoul complete box set for which one im gonna get

fervent hollow
#

Yes

#

Im buying physical manga xdd

#

Its my first time

high storm
#

Oooh nice

fervent hollow
#

I'll be very honest

#

I dont have a shelf

#

And my house is tiny

#

But im sure theyll look just as good on my desk

#

LOL

high storm
#

At least it's a good manga

#

That's something

fervent hollow
#

Yeee

#

Either tokyo ghoul or hanako...

#

H m

outer scaffold
long peak
#

No it's fine, we went over it

rancid ledge
high storm
#

Damn I am missing out on my glazing quota

high storm
#

I don't care for either of characters I feel like

#

I don't even have a sibling so aunt's feeling are completely foreign to me

long peak
#

Damn.

#

That's crazy

high storm
#

If my parents to die I would just die as well

#

Simple as

long peak
#

Either that or you've never experienced loss in your life

high storm
#

They are my only anchor in this world

high storm
#

I would literally end my own life over that

long peak
#

Okay so

#

She's not handling it well

high storm
#

I just don't sympathise with what type of person Asa seemingly is

#

I don't get it

long peak
#

There are very specific things with grief and resolving mentally the death and missing of someone that the mind goes through

high storm
#

Also Jesus manga is so damn watery 😭

long peak
#

Her mind hasn't processed the tragedy yet

high storm
#

That's just a regular ass 15 year old orphan

#

Granted I am not an orphan (thankfully) so maybe that's why I don't get it

long peak
#

Well as someone who has lost someone very close to them, the feelings that she goes through aren't childlike in nature

#

I felt exactly the same way she does

high storm
#

Well she certainly doesn't behave like she is 15

#

Her letting out a bit of emotion in chapter 7 did feel pretty natural though

#

I just can't relate

long peak
#

Yeah, that's pent up

high storm
#

I remember when my grandfather died and I cried less than I cried watching Violet Evergarden

#

I am a fucked up person ig

long peak
#

Not for that

#

You probably weren't that close to your grandfather

high storm
#

Well, yeah

#

But actual close people being in harms way would instantly just destroy me, I can't imagine myself living past that point

#

And Asa does exactly that

#

Antithesis to how I imagine I would feel

long peak
#

Thats why support networks are important

#

Asa only has one person that she can even talk to about it, and she barely even knows her aunt

high storm
#

My only reason being here and now is because "mom would be sad" is good enough for me to keep living

#

I just don't think I could ever move on from smth like that

#

I just wouldn't try to find someone to replace them with

long peak
#

That's the neat thing, you can't ever find someone to replace them

high storm
#

I have BIG troubles with letting things go, I still miss my girlfriend for more than a year now

#

I am still bitter how things went

long peak
#

It'll never be the same, that's one of the lessons that life will eventually throw your way

#

Is it a fucked up lesson? Yeah

#

But that's how life is

high storm
#

Well yes, such is life, my goal in life is to be able to like

#

Have a reason to be

#

Besides my parents and just good old egoism

long peak
#

Well that's a good thing

#

Finding a reason to live is one of the biggest steps a person can make

#

It's not easy

high storm
#

I enjoy life, if anything, given the choice, I wouldn't end it right now, but I really struggle to imagine how would I go with life without parents

#

Frankly the idea saddens and scares me, I don't want to see that without someone being here to support me

long peak
high storm
#

Also manga has sooo much yapping I am sorry 😭😭😭

long peak
high storm
high storm
long peak
#

Oh for sure

high storm
#

It's ultimately me who has control over my life

long peak
#

True

#

That's why only you can find your own reason to keep going

high storm
#

I may be dumb, silly and restarted but I am not stupid

long peak
#

I'm dumb silly and stupid

high storm
#

If anything I am jealous of ignorant people

#

It truly is blissful

#

It took me a war to stop caring about every bad little thing happening on earth

#

Can't imagine giving even less fucks

#

@long peak I am legit starting to think that I like Oyasumi Punpun only because I can sometimes relate to him

#

Maybe I don't like depressing manga about mental illness and such, maybe I just like relatable stuff

long peak
#

I think that might be it

high storm
#

Know any manga about girls with BPD? XD

#

Wanna see how other people depict it lol

long peak
#

I don't think so

high storm
#

I should read fire punch
