[long peak]

True, it's pretty good

[high storm]

Goodbye Eri was fantastic

Chainsawman is ofc good too

Gotta check out fujimoto too

[edgy bone]

he hasnt done a whole lot tbh

he's relatively new in the scene

read his other one shots first if you want a quick fix

[high storm]

If I want smth longer I am still yet to read Kingdom, Slam dunk, the climber and such

[edgy bone]

im a really big fan of kingdom

at least back when i binged it

for some reason reading it weekly feels a lot worse than any other weekly series ive read

[high storm]

@long peak is this a sequel?

Like is this the same author?

I sure would be hyped to read part 1 asap then lol

[long peak]

I think so?

[fervent hollow]

yeeeeeeeeee, i wanna read the manga cuz the anime was just an edge show with no catch LOL, child me did not like that much

i also heard nier has a MANGA??? i slightly kinda want that in my life

[rancid ledge]

they just made kaneki the fucking edgy ass boy when he was making his leave for anteiku

when the fucking manga does it better

[fervent hollow]

heard from someone tokyo ghoul in general lives on the line between reasonable and absolute edge, and sui ishida's wording in general makes it fall into the reasonable understandable section xd

[high storm]

True, Choujin X is also very much like that

Also Choujin X covers go HARD

[fervent hollow]

oh i heard of choujin x

and art pretty :3

but is story good

[high storm]

Isn't this just INCREDIBLE

[fervent hollow]

or worth more than tokyo ghoul as i can get complete box of that

[fervent hollow]

y e s

im actually playing an OTOME GAME done by sui ishida too

im a HUGE fan of his art style

[high storm]

A very important battle is coming soon so I would wait a month or so to just binge it afterwards

[fervent hollow]

ah, hm, i can put choujin x into my later haul LOL

[high storm]

Something on level of Stadium battle about to take place in terms of "strong guys per meter²"

Thinking about a bit more there already was a time skip so you can read chapters all before that @fervent hollow

[fervent hollow]

o-o

mhm

[high storm]

"Cool power up time skip" happens but even before that dynamic between main characters is pretty good

[fervent hollow]

hm

theres somethin i need to mention

as much as the story is good, theres somethin extremely important for me in all medias, its havin REALLY good character that are well-written and make me feel for them (no matter the emotions xd)

does tokyo ghoul and choujin x check that

[high storm]

Tokyo ghoul makes Kaneki a really compelling character in my opinion

I have many candidates for favourite/top 1 characters but Kaneki is firmly in the second

His growth and change mixed with masterful paneling which provides greater context is good

[fervent hollow]

hm, mhmhm

[high storm]

All the things he does do feel in character even if one time I was genuinely mad at both him and manga

@fervent hollow remember torture scene how in anime he just magically dyed his hair white?

In manga it became like that over time due to stress, and stress was depicted like this

[fervent hollow]

oh ye i heard about how HORRIBLE the anime dealt with that one LOL

[fervent hollow]

oh my, thats some strong imagery

[high storm]

That's how it goes in the manga

[fervent hollow]

(i just hope my mom doesnt decide to open the manga LMAO)

[high storm]

Bro was legit going crazy

[fervent hollow]

understandable

i dont think most people would feel better

LMAO

[high storm]

There is a chapter which is spend uuuh

Fixing the issue at hand

Lmao

Be real careful lololo

[fervent hollow]

cough

im

im uh

im sure

my mom

wont

i

im ssure im lucky enough to not have her open up that chapter

immediately

LMAO

[high storm]

It's from Tokyo ghoul:re dw

Many iconic panels are from there actually

This too

Low res cus full panel is a huge moment lol

[fervent hollow]

ah oke :3
WAIT THATS NOT ANY BETTER, if im gettin tokyo ghoul, i have to get re in my next haul, that was the promise LOL

[fervent hollow]

oh ye

[high storm]

Remember the crazy scientist guy from season 1?

[fervent hollow]

and also the one where it was editted to say "I am Tragedy"

[high storm]

He is actually a good father and his daughter is a genuine good person who wants to avenge him

[fervent hollow]

hmmmm i think so

xd

[fervent hollow]

ah o-o

o -o

[high storm]

There are very few "pure evil" characters

Even the unhinged boy with knives from first season becomes like

A good, sane, captain

If you don't mind a bit of edge here and there story is pretty fucked up but good, even if Tokyo ghoul:re is a admittedly bit rushed

[fervent hollow]

yeah alright

it was already on my top list in terms of priorities ngl LOL

im gonna like look into mangas a lil more before finalizing, I have till tuesday to make up my mind fully

[high storm]

You will notice differences from anime almost straight away

The worst offences of anime was easily the "cutting things out"

[fervent hollow]

tru LOL

we all know promised neverland season 2

[high storm]

Oof

Worst fumble probably ever

[fervent hollow]

agreed

i wanted to get the promised neverland manga at first, but i heard the second half of it is wack anyway

[high storm]

Other shit anime at least had some hiccups before hand or started bad

But having such a start

And fumbling so bad

[fervent hollow]

yeahhh thats exactly what made it horrible

[high storm]

Give us Promised Neverland brotherhood

[fervent hollow]

well-

feels like its a distant dream ngl

[high storm]

😦

True

Remembered another awesome panel from Tokyo ghoul

A person was asked to write a will before dangerous mission

: ), what a happy world we have

[fervent hollow]

a h

i

m h m

[edgy bone]

i forgot about that one

honestly i really dont remember much from tg

[high storm]

It's from :re

[edgy bone]

ye i member now that i see it again

[rancid ledge]

anybody like animes like irregular at magic school and misfit of demon academy??

[edgy bone]

i watched irregular back in the day when it came out

i remember next to nothing from it

but

the girls were hot

trust

[tidal shore]

i enjoyed them for different reasons

[edgy bone]

did you think the boys were hot instead?

[chilly lynx]

yes

[tidal shore]

not that xd

[mighty cape]

Some of them were pretty cute/handsome

[chilly lynx]

I'm taking my Clorinde plush out on a drive

[blissful bison]

guys im tearing my hair out

anyone know which anime/japanese song is this? https://jumpshare.com/s/OgWF2QVrP6NMK22silGg

idk the lyrics i only whistled the chorus of it

[dusty fable]

Yes, Tsutomu Nihei is the original author. Also would suggest watching Knights of Sidonia

[dusty fable]

I have no clue about the song, but nice whistling! Even if a bit off key at some points

but honestly, should have whistled the rickrolled song, would have been more effective xD

[dusty fable]

first season is good. I watched it back in the day when it came out and I remember most of its story. Second season I remember as well, but it is slightly worse

[blissful bison]

i cant sleep without figuring this song out

[blissful bison]

found it thank god

But when is season 2?

[edgy bone]

dont remember if we talked about this already

[craggy mango]

More than enough for 2 more seasons

@long peak

[tidal shore]

dunno, I will ask for the sauce if ur interested (it's a shoujo manga)

[edgy bone]

ah

i thought you were reading it

[tidal shore]

kek

I don't read romance anymore

honestly I despise the current romance trend in anime too

seeing the "wimpy boy gets bullied" anime get 8.9/10 rating on mal makes me lose hope for humanity

the anime society is primarily made up of masochist beta males

I'm sorry

[edgy bone]

you didnt have to call me out like that

[tidal shore]

[edgy bone]

but yea ive mentioned it before

internet community (and english speaking internet community if you wanna be even more specific) isn't really a good representation of the population as a whole

even tho you may feel that way when youre constantly surrounded by media created or related to it on a daily basis

[edgy bone]

like for someone to really care enough to update sites like these with ratings on a regular basis they must spend quite a big chunk of their life online

people who fall in that category usually do so because they dont have a well developed social life

which is usually coupled with other traits that encourage that type of behaviour/lifestyle

[ionic schooner]

Hello

Someone called

?

[edgy bone]

obviously im talking in very broad terms but you can definitely see a trend

[tidal shore]

however aggregate sites are a good representation of the current trends within a specific industry (given that they usually have it all)

[tidal shore]

u don't gotta call me out like this man 😭

[edgy bone]

they are only a repretensation of the audience they're able to reach

which is still predominantly online

[tidal shore]

not what I meant

[edgy bone]

there's plenty of people that just consume content and move on

[tidal shore]

the aggregate websites have what is being produced

regardless of ratings, if a number of some types of anime increases then you can assume that it's making enough money in the country of origin (Japan), that even more are being produced

[edgy bone]

ah

yea sure

but what is considered "enough money" may not be as much as you think it is

i can think of plenty of long media series that most people would consider niche that still do well enough to keep themselves afloat and producing more stuff

[tidal shore]

anime culture is hella corporate, for the most part the execs decide what will be made and how it will be made

anime are being reproduced in the same way that character designs are being reproduced in freemium gacha games

you make a bet on what will sell based on what has sold before

no doubt character design plays a big role in this considering for anime, the only real profits are from merch and CD sales

[edgy bone]

yes

im not disagreeing with you

im just trying to say that the audience that's keeping it profitable and that they're targeting may not be as big a percentage of the total population as you may think

[tidal shore]

it's typically not

yeah

[tidal shore]

more on this, I think those are exceptions from the rule

from the norm*

and for the record I think the current norm of profit-oriented mass manufacturing of garbage is horrible

[edgy bone]

so then there's no reason for you to lose hope in humanity as a whole

AYAYA

[tidal shore]

ah

nahhh

[ionic schooner]

If every billionaire gave me 10% of their earnings I'd be happy

[next crescent]

Actually, I just watched a very well laid out video a few days ago that talked about this, and I guess many anime studios are in debt because of how insanely expensive it is to make anime

https://youtu.be/BDEIPa9b3OU?si=auSivPIkfTNR6Cya

Listening to Miyazaki made me want to cry

[ionic schooner]

Didn't someone else send this a few days ago too

[next crescent]

Yes

[ionic schooner]

Ig the video is just that good

[next crescent]

But to share with more people

It is a good video tbf

And he goes into detail explaining a lot of the lesser talked about parts of the animation process on a corporate scale

Like apparently the middle of the process is just an endless loop of "you fucked something up, fix it" between like 18 different steps in a 50 step system

Until the deadline hits and they have to push it out because they can't have delays

[tidal shore]

lol i sent that vid in this channel

[ionic schooner]

Omg jjk

[next crescent]

Oh it was you

[next crescent]

I thought it was boen

My bad

[ionic schooner]

Nah it was caveman

[tidal shore]

kek

[edgy bone]

it was me all along!

[tidal shore]

I heard something about the animation process a couple years back

[tidal shore]

how KyoAni doesn't have this issue because they don't have to redo a lot of the stuff like other studios

[next crescent]

I heard very little about it years ago, but had no idea how terrible the process was or how insanely expensive it is despite even when studios cut corners

[tidal shore]

for how complex the anime has gotten (visually), you'd think that the process would be simplified to cut on costs but NAHHHH

[next crescent]

And yet it's the only studio to be bombed and lose most of their work and employees over something so stupid

[tidal shore]

also isn't part of the reason why anime studios don't make money cuz the execs are taking it all?

[next crescent]

Yes

[edgy bone]

ai coming in to save the day

[next crescent]

The video explained that the people working on the anime essentially get a split of 1% of the profit

While the rest is allocated to merch and the execs and stuff

[tidal shore]

honestly I wish, just relegate all the execs to producing AI trash

jk

it probably wouldnt be goo

good

[tidal shore]

I love capitalism

selling dvds at 5000% mark up
u don't even get a share of the sales if ur a freelance animator

[next crescent]

Yeah, the $60 DVDs for 3 episodes because they're marketed for collectors

[tidal shore]

I'd rather opt for manga tbh

[edgy bone]

i wonder how well dvds sell nowadays

i imagine the profits are lower than what they used to be

[tidal shore]

not that well apparently

[tidal shore]

yeah basically this

globalisation + Japan finally catching up with the rest of the world

AAWWW ANOTHER DOLL

I has Neuvillette doll

[tidal shore]

kind of a hot take

but im not gonna say it cuz juca would be hot on my arse

might still take my chances tho

[rancid ledge]

juca would be what?

[shadow knot]

gatekeeping hot takes crazy

say it

[tidal shore]

i feel like anime has low standards for writing, like, most acclaimed anime may be masterpieces within the anime sphere of influence, but when viewed on the international stage they'd range anywhere from decent to pretty good, but nothing groundbreaking

yes I know this is vague, don't hit me juca

[shadow knot]

I get what you mean

[tidal shore]

damm he predicted

[shadow knot]

it definitely depends on your taste and what kinds of media you consume

[tidal shore]

maybe

[shadow knot]

a lot of old anime are very influential to the animation industry in general

ie. akira bike slide is an iconic scene that a bunch of shows pay homage to

and overall projects like ghost in the shell and evangelion

[tidal shore]

yeye I get you

[shadow knot]

I think it feels to you that there is an oversaturation of "mediocre" releases of animanga nowadays

like how a bunch of seasonals are filled with dumb isekai most people don't care about

[tidal shore]

part of it is that more anime are being made now than ever, but I have this nagging feeling that the ratio of good-to-mediocre hasn't changed much, and it's just that hindsight is 20/20 vision

or maybe instead of good-to-mediocre I should describe it as

exec slop vs passion kind of deal

cuz let's be real, a lot of exec slop is getting released

[tidal shore]

@edgy bone thoughts?

[rancid ledge]

name what anime has good writing

i dare you

[topaz linden]

A Silent Voice is pretty good with its writing. Odd Taxi too.

[outer scaffold]

Clannad after (forgot the actual name) (haven't watched it, but people said it's good)

[tidal shore]

Silent Voice is amazing

it really is!

[rancid ledge]

NOT THE SILENT VOI—

thats a good anime

[topaz linden]

I think the more serious the anime, the more writing tends to take priority. A lot of shows can get away with less than stellar writing by playing on the unrealness of the setting, but grounded/serious anime can't do that (as much) without it standing out

[tidal shore]

true

[ionic schooner]

Classic odd taxi JakeFromStateFarm reference

[rancid ledge]

Clannad fucking broke me

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/odd-taxi-odd-taxi-odd-taxi-meme-odd-taxi-tenor-gif-22419768

[rancid ledge]

also do yall like beastars??

i gotta know

[topaz linden]

havent seen s2 yet, but I liked S1 (especially the deer dude. His voice actor did such a good job)

[ionic schooner]

I love how this becomes relevant later in the plor

Plot

😭

And its not just some funny thing

With funny music

[topaz linden]

A ton of little details come back later in the story 👀 Is very nice

The audio drama side story thing was also a very nice touch

[ionic schooner]

I liked the part where ||the monkey dude thought the gacha dude ran out of bullets cuz he counted how many he shot||

[tidal shore]

beastars is usually praised for it's 3D
but I found it very uncanny if I'm being honest with you

[ionic schooner]

||And then the gacha dude just shoots him cause it turns out it was actually the cop that shot the monkey guy||

And it's revealed basically at the end

[topaz linden]

Yeah, was a nice attention to detail

[tidal shore]

actually topically adjacent, anime has even shittier standards for 3D it's kinda crazy

[ionic schooner]

Topically adjacent

😭

Maybe I'm the caveman cause idk what that means

[tidal shore]

im probably making up words

meant to say my observation is related in a kinda sorta weak way to my previous point

trickstar sounds cool

[long peak]

Frieren was the first one I thought of

[craggy mango]

Skip & Loafer

Btw Link Click isnt anime

Its like saying Avatar is anime. Well, its not

[shadow knot]

its okay, I even read the manga

[shadow knot]

lots of anime

[long peak]

It's technically donghua but still

[rancid ledge]

always read the manga

its better anyway

Eh, there's a few shows out there with terrible manga

[craggy mango]

Yes its Donghua, belongs to China not Japan

If you mean for profit productions vs passion projects then sure to an extent

But i doubt there were many that were pure passion

or that one other 4chan story that was made into a manga

im blanking on the name rn

iirc theyre both 4chan stories that got turned into manga

(at least one of them is for sure)

[fervent hollow]

okay... here i am again...

opinions of whether to go for tokyo ghoul complete box set, a bunch of witch hat atelier volumes, or the toilet bound hanako box... stalls

im on a budget, cant choose all, mostly cuz my budget is saying "pls have mercy" and im scared of taxes LMAO

[edgy bone]

for reading or just display?

[fervent hollow]

B O T H

[edgy bone]

i mean

[fervent hollow]

me want pretty art that me can read LOL

but also good story and characters

(im an artist xd)

[edgy bone]

what you consider to be prettiest looking is entirely up to you, i dont see how other people's opinions on that will change anything

it also depends on how you can store/display them at your place

[fervent hollow]

i know i'll love sui ishida work for sure, but each one of those stories is a different vibe and i just dont know what to go for

[edgy bone]

as for reading they're all p different genres, depends on what youre in the mood for

[fervent hollow]

y e

okay should I just

make a wheel and throw a dart

LMAO

[edgy bone]

if you want to prioritize the art

witch hat atelier was one of the series i saw being recommended purely for its art

(among other ones)

[fervent hollow]

o, i saw the paneling alone, its insane how good it looks

hm

should I try to read the first chapter of each of them to choose? o-o

would that help?

o -o

[edgy bone]

most likely

[fervent hollow]

im already past the "idk what would click for me" phase, and i had all 3 of them click for me, so uh, bein stuck is not fun LOL

hm

[edgy bone]

idk like it's your money and your place to display them in, i dont feel like other people should make the decision for you

if you dont mind reading them online then buying them will be mostly for display so you can prioritize that

[fervent hollow]

yeah no, I just came for opinions on the stories mostly

@long peak @edgy bone @next crescent

I had to see this

Now so do you

[high storm]

Happened to me, I wish I had asked one of my groupmates to go look harder for Oyasumi Punpun volumes

Fucking sucks not living in a big city when you are in Japan in terms of manga that is not currently serialising it seems

[fervent hollow]

oyasumi punpun, I would go for it if it wasnt gonna eat up too much of my money (20$ per volume, almost double all other mangas, its weird)

[fervent hollow]

ah, meanwhile im gettin my manga from amazon

i dont believe theres a downside to amazon... i hope

[high storm]

I don't think they deliver where I live and regardless they don't deliver to East Europe anyways

[edgy bone]

meanwhile thats the normal price over here

[high storm]

Don't have money for that no mo anyways

[edgy bone]

[high storm]

I imagine if I bought every Usogui volume I would be homeless lol

[fervent hollow]

i didnt think they did here either, but im lucky manga was one of the rare stuff they allow (im in lebanon)

[high storm]

Surprising

[fervent hollow]

most manga cost 10-13$... uh, if i were to go with local prices, volumes can go up to 30$ per volume

no ty

LOL

the french have it cheap tho, french translated manga is like 5-8$

im so mad

[high storm]

Merch is also hella expensive

Can't imagine being American having that shit be worth your daily allowance lol

[fervent hollow]

i barely have any space, i cant fit merch, thus i cant be tempted...
well more like im broke too

[high storm]

I honestly can't wait till I graduate because job was much more preferable over a mfing university

Working in office is actually not that bad

[fervent hollow]

idk man, americans are always the one with the manga collections besides japanese in experience, kinda jealous of em LOL

[fervent hollow]

eeek, meanwhile im in college in a medical field

kinda cant back off, but i plan to work in private laboratories to avoid overtime and stress hours of hospitals

[high storm]

Lucky you

Good job bro

[fervent hollow]

NOT a doctor

its just biomedical sciences/laboratory LOL

[high storm]

I myself whole life aimed to work in industry that has been replaced by robots since 2000's, sucks to suck ig

But at least I came to terms with it long ago already

[fervent hollow]

ah.. what is it exactly?

[high storm]

Linguistics

[fervent hollow]

hm

my friend is actually studying it

[high storm]

"applied linguistics" to be exact, half-ass at programming and half-ass at languages

At least it's like, best university in my country (not of private one's)

Prolly won't have much problems job seeking

[fervent hollow]

fair enough

good luck ;D

[high storm]

Yes thank you

I was a fool to choose Japanese to study tho

[fervent hollow]

i plan to leave my country which makes it 10x harder

[high storm]

When I was applying I was thinking I was going to study

[fervent hollow]

MY FRIEND IS STUDYIN THAT SPECIFICALLY-

[high storm]

XD

What a fool I was

I just wanna work and chill fuck that hard foreign language shit

[fervent hollow]

i mean at least u plannin somethin.. else... my friend kinda wants to be a japanese teacher

[high storm]

Oof

[fervent hollow]

or somewhat like an english teacher in japan

which

[high storm]

It's very poorly paid

Do not recommend

[fervent hollow]

you see the economical state of my country (he's american in america, not with me dw), and how hard teachers were hit specifically with the minister REFUSING to pay a cent to teachers for 2 years straight

kinda

had him shaking for 2 years

LMAO

[high storm]

I honestly just can't stand children so teaching ain't for me

[fervent hollow]

he was starting to regret his choices

[fervent hollow]

same

[high storm]

Tutoring can be alright tho

[fervent hollow]

i refuse to even have it as a part time job like a lot of uni students

like

pls no

[high storm]

But teaching is last resort

Japanese people were racist af to my groupmates

[fervent hollow]

i'd rather die than have it as last resort personally LOL

[high storm]

Ain't a big fan of that

[fervent hollow]

its probably because how japanese society works

[high storm]

Maybe it's for worse for girls idk

Can't confirm nor deny but I've been told I do have some traits appealing to Japanese women lmao, sounds too good to be true

[fervent hollow]

have u seen the requirements to become a japanese citizen? LOL

[high storm]

Anyways, Kaiju no8 had a great scene getting dim and it fucking sucked

Took all excitement away

They better not pull that when bigger fights happen

I've been expecting an alright adaptation and it's been exactly that so far but maybe it they didn't dim the shit out of it it would be much better

[fervent hollow]

ah dang

im reading through chainsaw man

[high storm]

It's good

[fervent hollow]

and after they killed my muffin, and my other child, and also my other other child, and then didnt give ma lady much time to cook

i kinda

[high storm]

I love Asa, I also hate sushi and blunt as a stick to people

[fervent hollow]

lost interest after crying too hard

im in part 2, chapter 121

xd

[tidal shore]

sus

wait wrong reply

[tidal shore]

sus

[high storm]

I've been caught up and believe me Kaiju no8 IS mid (in later parts)

[high storm]

Tall, long face, and smth about teeth and the way I walk

And long brown hair

I would be towering over people there

[fervent hollow]

i want my muffin back ;-;

[tidal shore]

japanese women when they filter 89% of the population for shallow reasons

[high storm]

Hur dur women smth smth

[fervent hollow]

o-o

[high storm]

Don't care, I prefer more open girls and it's generally nor the norm over there I've been told

So fuck that

[tidal shore]

hey i also have brown hair

brb getting jp gf

[high storm]

My hair is I think 29cms

Gonna sell it soon

[tidal shore]

wtfff

how much does hair go for?

[high storm]

Not a lot, just more a spiritual thing for me

[tidal shore]

oh ok

[high storm]

Gonna buy a fucking cigar with them money tho

[fervent hollow]

idk, i dont like to think about how different races' societies think about different appealing traits, i prefer to think of it as person-to-person bases, feels healthier and more of a "whatever my luck brings and whoever i click with" mentality

[high storm]

Never tried cigarettes though lololo

[fervent hollow]

YALL MEASURE UR HAIR LENGTH?? LOL

[high storm]

You can't sell it if it ain't past certain length

Nobody needs your mfing 3cms

[fervent hollow]

o u sell ur hair

[high storm]

Not even a brush from that

[fervent hollow]

I prefer straight up donating them

hair cant be that expensive

LOL

[high storm]

I've been growing it for 3 years now

[tidal shore]

understandable, but i think you can still notice trends of attractive physical traits between different cultures/ethnicities

[high storm]

But it does make me look much better

My compliment coefficient gonna sink HARD

[fervent hollow]

yeah thats true, but i just prefer it the way i said it when it comes to a personal level

just whatever u do, keep jujutsu kaisen fanbase away from me

theyre horrifying

[tidal shore]

yo, I've been growing mine for 2 years now, slowly reaching my lower ribs

[high storm]

Chainsawman son or Jujutsu daughter

No returns

[fervent hollow]

uhhhhhhhhh

uhhhhhhhhhhhh

if chainsaw man son will simp over quanxi with me, i'll have the son

[tidal shore]

long hair is so annoying tho, gets caught in everything, u need a hairband for everything, try to turn in your sleep and your scalp is gone, playing with kids is even worse

[fervent hollow]

i was just gonna look up what pong hair is xd

[high storm]

Just use a hair rubber

[tidal shore]

I don't like the sensation

people say I look great with it, but ehhhh

[edgy bone]

i imagine it depends on the specifics of your hair

[fervent hollow]

also, I can testify, long hair sucks (and hurts to keep tied up o-o)

[tidal shore]

I'd rather use a headband

[high storm]

Nobody looks great with ponytail ngl

[edgy bone]

https://tenor.com/view/soma-shokugeki-no-soma-yukihira-soma-anime-fire-gif-17279384

[fervent hollow]

nahh, bring out a single strand and u somehow look hot for many

LOL

[high storm]

Dunno, I like my image much more when I just show all hair instead of keeping aback

I look like 2000's hipster with ponytail

Nobody wants to look like that I assume

[tidal shore]

this is because you're changing the angle of your hair glands, after removing the band they're falling through the magic of G R A V I T Y and so the sudden change in angle 💀

something like that

wait

nvm

[fervent hollow]

i agree too honestly, but its also harder to keep... tidy?

[tidal shore]

was it to do with the hair glands becoming more sensitive? as in pain receptors n stuff

[high storm]

Just wash it every other day smh

Taking a shower is not hard

I even still do it without hot water even tho it seems to damage hair

Fucking waterworks facility

[fervent hollow]

nono, not clean, just, to keep it not messy and flying everywhere

i eat my hair ya know

[high storm]

Won't have hot water for 1.5 months

😠

[high storm]

Maybe you eat and your hair gets in a way?

You don'teat eat it do yiu?

[fervent hollow]

but also like i would like to also say that on top of all the problems, I cant shower every day

[tidal shore]

WHAT

[fervent hollow]

I MEAN IT GOES into my eyes and mouuuthhh LOLL

OI

YALL

PLS

[high storm]

Exactly

[fervent hollow]

I forgot words LOL

[tidal shore]

damn

[fervent hollow]

have mercy LOL

[high storm]

That's what I asked to specify

[tidal shore]

imagine eating ur hair

[fervent hollow]

okay LOL

[tidal shore]

https://tenor.com/view/cat-funny-tongue-lick-pussycat-gif-23463927

[high storm]

I've seen a girl once or twice nibble on it while she was reading

I wouldn't be surprised

[fervent hollow]

i want a cat badly

[high storm]

You are a cat lady

[fervent hollow]

dang okay

[high storm]

Aren't you?

[fervent hollow]

a cat human*, and i just want a max of 2 cats

[tidal shore]

it's the same girl that will be in a Chubbyemu video

[fervent hollow]

more would be too much to take care of

xd

[high storm]

Who, what

[fervent hollow]

i just want a cat to pet :(

and hug me

[fervent hollow]

prob wont happen

[high storm]

You freaky

[fervent hollow]

wtf LOL

[tidal shore]

A Woman Nibbled On Her Hair For 15 Years. This Is What Happened To Her Stomach.

[fervent hollow]

oke..

i think

thats a form of disorder LOL

[tidal shore]

same

getting a lone cat would be just sad for the cat

give him a buddy

[fervent hollow]

mhmhm u get it

[high storm]

I have a cat mom and her son

Son is fucked up weirdo tho

Mom is alright

[fervent hollow]

wait, in what way LOL

[high storm]

Not used to people

For years niw

Now*

[next crescent]

Scalp is gone? 😭

[tidal shore]

it pulls

[tidal shore]

take bro outside

[next crescent]

Ohh

[high storm]

I can't just catch a cat and force him to like me

[tidal shore]

oh like that

[next crescent]

I guess I just mastered the art of sleeping with long hair then because I've never had that issue lol

[tidal shore]

feed him from hand

try pet from hand

[high storm]

He is too afraid to approach me or my family

[tidal shore]

if bro dont eat then grab by the neck

[high storm]

We just kinda gave up on him

[next crescent]

Is he your pet cat

[high storm]

We just feed him

[next crescent]

Or someone else's

[high storm]

Yup, he sticks to us, born and raised here

Can't pet him tho

[next crescent]

Ahh okay

[high storm]

Like, at all

[next crescent]

So he's like

Semi-feral then?

[high storm]

Semi stupid

[next crescent]

Born and raised in captivity but just avoids human contact

[high storm]

He would eat more it he wasn't avoiding us

[next crescent]

I'd give advice but I've barely ever interacted with cats

[tidal shore]

what did u do to him 😭

[high storm]

Maybe this moron wouldn't be shedding his fur annually if we could catch him and heal him

[next crescent]

😭

[high storm]

Literally nothing he just doesn't like any human contact

[next crescent]

I mean, he'd still be shedding since he's a cat

[high storm]

Neither his mom or granny did that

I think he is just sick or smth

[tidal shore]

genetic condition perhaps

[high storm]

Maybe his father is like weird or smth I dunno

Don't care either to be perfectly honest

I like his mom much more she is cute and awesome and sits on your lap

[tidal shore]

dam

one L for cat boi

he kinda old now, so Idk any methods that would help acclimatise him to human contact

[edgy bone]

i never had issues sleeping with long hair either

my main issue with long hair was it getting on my face all the time

[tidal shore]

I meant anime having low standards for writing

[edgy bone]

define low

[edgy bone]

oh you should have pinged me i didnt see i was mentioned

nah when im reading op im more like

either screaming out loud and being shocked by w/e is happening

or im mad at something lol

[tidal shore]

in comparison with western, I rarely ever see something as compelling in anime (when comparing the most acclaimed tv shows, movies, etc)

someone said it's down to preference which I can agree with

but err

i also noticed anime doesn't try as much to craft serious stories

[rancid ledge]

not anime related, but does anyone watch kamen rider?

[tidal shore]

why he look so goofy lol

[edgy bone]

dont like making quantitative statements about stuff like this because it's realistically impossible to measure

[mighty cape]

@next crescent @edgy bone

[edgy bone]

kvitsev posted it earlier

but yea cute cat

[high storm]

If someone asked if Monster (the anime/manga) or Utopia (British version) is better I would choose Utopia is a heart beat

And it's not even crazy popular

[edgy bone]

and that to me just sounds like youre not the target audience for a lot of those shows

[mighty cape]

And now ur blessed with it again

[high storm]

Monster on other hand is so praised it's insane

Tensura fans are industry plants, you cannot convince me that a person genuinely enjoys 5 episodes of meetings

Twitter · May 5, 2024, 3:31 AM

[high storm]

Begining of season 2 fucking sucked

[edgy bone]

yea im not a big fan of urasawa's writing in general

[tidal shore]

nah I'm just mega jaded, I can find maybe 1 to 2 anime a year that get me invested

[high storm]

And begging of season 3 is meh but still better

[rancid ledge]

ok nvm my bad

[edgy bone]

how many do you usually check

[tidal shore]

a lot, but I dismiss like 95% based on title and cover art

[high storm]

Actually read the tensura manga yesterday, it's fun, probably the best "mid" isekai out there

The "being good guy" power fantasy

[edgy bone]

im waiting for the season to end before i binge but honestly i generally do

the more administrative focus of the series is like the only thing that's keeping me interested

[high storm]

And yes I did read all that comes after episode 5 in one go

[edgy bone]

i binged all that was out after season 2 ended

[high storm]

It was ok/10

[edgy bone]

granted there wasn't much

i think it stopped after he fought the church girl

[high storm]

Yeah she cool

[edgy bone]

need to get back to it sometime

[high storm]

Nice haxs and all

I like that almost everyone has some sort of unique ability

[mighty cape]

Read/watch Spice & Wolf. That seems 1000% ur cup of tea.

[tidal shore]

why is it realistically impossible? I mean, the stuff is out there, you could easily do a controlled study

[high storm]

Well, stronger characters do

[edgy bone]

because i dont (and i dont think anyone else) has the actual knowledge to make an accurate statement on that

as for making a study

[mighty cape]

https://tenor.com/view/spice-and-wolf-holo-holo-ears-ears-this-is-very-important-to-me-gif-14901725481303356487

It has wolf gril for you Juca

[edgy bone]

you'd need a very clear cut objective definition of about what actually qualifies as " trying as much"

which i dont think exists

going back to our older talks

[edgy bone]

yeee i watched the og anime back when iw as a kid

[tidal shore]

yeah I disagree with this assessment but I've made that known before

[edgy bone]

i didnt really care much for it but holo was cute

[high storm]

She is still cute

Oooooh short smart charming fox girl wife goddess save me ooooh save me short smart charming for girl wife goddess

[tidal shore]

simply take a sample of stories, ask participants to rate how serious/heavy they felt the story is, make a chart
this is how you quantify subjective reactions to a subjective medium

[edgy bone]

i mean thats gonna give you a general opinion of the population

[tidal shore]

you don't make an objective 0 to 1 scale, their data makes it

[edgy bone]

it may or may not be relevant to how you feel personally

[high storm]

What a pointless fucking argument holy fucking shit

[edgy bone]

i dont find that to be particularly valuable

[high storm]

Guys you will never convince one another

[tidal shore]

the general opinion of the population is all that matters though?

[edgy bone]

it's not an argument it's a disscussion

[edgy bone]

matters in what sense?

[tidal shore]

I mean, I've said it before, to judge subjective is to judge it based on public perception, that's like the only way I could agree with quantifying the subjective

[edgy bone]

im not sure what your end goal is

how is this relevant to you not liking most anime?

[tidal shore]

http://animefeet.blogspot.com/2016/09/spice-and-wolf-holo-part-1.html

[rancid ledge]

i know im gonna be ignored and shit, but whats going on here?

i dont even see a argument unless i have to scroll up

[high storm]

You just hear less about dogshit movies in western culture

[edgy bone]

I think at this point no one is fully sure anymore

[rancid ledge]

yeah imma ignore it

[high storm]

Think about all the 3rd rate streaming services and how they are somehow full

[high storm]

https://tenor.com/view/sniff-gif-26460635

[tidal shore]

ok good point

[edgy bone]

lmao

[tidal shore]

i guess im trying to find a quantifiable way of justifying my own perception of anime, in other words: copium

[high storm]

We just call it chinese p**n cartoons over here

[edgy bone]

it sounds like you put a lot of weight in overall public perception

and trying to put your feelings in context to how the public feels

[high storm]

As like a joke to put it down

[edgy bone]

which i find to be a pointless endeavour

[tidal shore]

but then, in itself (removed from my opinion), I do find the topic interesting

how does the taste differ between ethnicities and cultures?

what plot points resonate with which cultures?

which mediums have more mass appeal?

etc

[high storm]

Public are stupid and listening to them is horrible idea

[rancid ledge]

you call it the what now

[high storm]

You understood what I said, it's how normal people describe anime, because normal != Weebs

Over in eastern Europe

[edgy bone]

ye a lot of asian stuff gets labeled as chinese by default by people that dont have any real understanding of what said stuff actuall is

[high storm]

I started watching anime from something manly

[rancid ledge]

what fucking drama do yall get into, good lord...

[high storm]

Not some sissy shit

Because anime = bad and gay

Obviously

Been years since I watched my first anime and changed my mind ofc

[edgy bone]

from my pov there's no drama we're just talking

[high storm]

Well, make some? 5head

Tell him he sucks and his builds are ass

Or smth

[edgy bone]

imma go take a shower then probably watch frieren

[tidal shore]

lmao

for me it was anime = for kids and girls

then i got horny....

[edgy bone]

over here it's just cartoons

and the term carries a connotation to it that it's strictly kids media and consuming such media when youre a teen or a above is viewed as lame or weird

[tidal shore]

rankings exist for a reason though, I still believe that something well acclaimed with high overall ratings would inherently have higher quality and thus be a more gripping story/comedy/etc than something with lower ratings

[edgy bone]

i think i told you before

[rustic pivot]

awwww "i'd win" uni the cat

[edgy bone]

that since we're all humans that are biologically similar our brains find entertainment from similar things so if you really wanted to you could probably gather up some common elements that are bound to be popular on average

or well not only you could , people already do this

that's how trends start

that's why we get a bajilion isekai power fantasies about loser gamers shut ins that become the center of attention in the fantasy world

appeals to the masses

doesn't necessarily mean it will appeal to you

you can probably argue that there's a higher likelyhood it will if it's popular enough?

but even then it's not a guarantee

you just experienced that recently with frieren

[tidal shore]

yeah I agree with this

[edgy bone]

if you want another example

[tidal shore]

interesting though, people on average agree that isekai have shit writing, but they still consume it

it's like junk food

[edgy bone]

eh

youre only exposed to the internet community side of it that complains about it

there's still plenty of people that unironically like em you just dont see it

[edgy bone]

idk how familiar you are with the process of creating jump manga

[tidal shore]

I'd say, in this day and age, most people are online anyway, so I no longer see the point in differentiating (depending on geographic location and country's modernisation)

[edgy bone]

but part of the job of an editor is to tell the author to write about big popular trends that theyve noticed are a hit with the readers from previous series theyve worked on/ from sales data and popularity notes they have

[edgy bone]

you have no idea

the internet is a bubble

there's plenty that are outside of it

[tidal shore]

most people I hang out with do have somewhat rich social lives

and they pretty much share similar opinions about isekai being guilty pleasure

[edgy bone]

like for example back when dragon ball blew up all the editors were telling the mangaka to write tournament arcs into their stories

[tidal shore]

and he did

[edgy bone]

araki famously refused to do that and did part 3 instead which was basically a soft reboot of his series

[edgy bone]

anecdotes dont really mean anything when talking about statistics

[tidal shore]

well yes, but you keep on saying how I'm mostly exposed to the opinions of chronically online people which just isn't true

[edgy bone]

or now after kimetsu blew up it seems jump is trying to add more japanese themed stories into its roster

[tidal shore]

typical exec behaviour

[edgy bone]

or the whole fiasco with the bleach author and his editor that was basically telling him to keep rehashing the soul society arc over and over cuz it was popular the first time

and that's why all the following bleach arcs have basically the same story structure/setup

[edgy bone]

not necessarily

[high storm]

Japanese fans have kind of a shit taste tho tbh

[edgy bone]

im saying that you dont see the full picture

and you realistically cant

[high storm]

Some mangas getting axed I will never forgive them

[edgy bone]

youre just 1 person

[tidal shore]

mannn

[edgy bone]

if you want a video on the internet bubble i know matpat did one a few years ago

[tidal shore]

u feel my pain 😔

[edgy bone]

i find it interesting how you seem to be against this type of behaviour but you also argue for it when talking about writing?

[high storm]

Like I can't imagine how do you justify continuing some trash cliché harem spineless MC but axe some stuff because it just takes it's time

[tidal shore]

elaborate

[high storm]

Japanese fans have terrible taste and I will never agree with them

[dusty fable]

tbh, anime kinda gets traction last 7 years or so among normies. Which is a good thing, you can say you watch anime to other ppl nowadays and they don't look like you are full of BS lmao (except some)

[edgy bone]

this

[high storm]

Because there are more normal people in the industry now

[edgy bone]

and this

dont really go together in my view?

[high storm]

Imagine telling your friend to watch smth like KissXsis or Oreimo back in the day

You would get shunned

[tidal shore]

I never advocate for profit-oriented reasoning to change the direction, length, or writing of any series

[edgy bone]

unless im misunderstanding your stance

[edgy bone]

depends where you live

over here it's still p niche

[tidal shore]

that's different

[edgy bone]

it got slightly better during the pandemic but it's still not great

[high storm]

Middle east?

[mighty cape]

Now you recommend them to play The Coffin of Andy & Leyley
(Good game so far btw)

[edgy bone]

i was talking with some other romanian nerds the other day and literally none of them watch anime and just viewed anime tropes as crazy weeabo shit

[tidal shore]

treat the public's reaction/opinion as separate from execs influencing the anime ecosphere

yes, it's a good indication of what people like, it's also a good indication of what type of shit execs are pulling that works, but that's just it

[high storm]

Brother, I love the taboo shit in it I like it BECAUSE it's i****t shit

And since I have no siblings I am perfect content with the story

[dusty fable]

you can kinda see the amount of people engaged growing by visiting an anime expo (I remember though you saying that in Romania anime expos are rather rare), so I guess maybe not everywhere

[high storm]

Keep on being cannibalists and shit, I wanna try human meat someday too

[edgy bone]

so are you saying that youre fine with people trying to draw some kind of average data , but you aren't fine with people using said data to influence what's being made?

[tidal shore]

what.

[high storm]

I am an explorer

[dusty fable]

you are a caveman

[edgy bone]

actually there was one like 2 weeks ago

[mighty cape]

I only wish more fans shilled the more nuanced aspects of the game. There sooo much depth and shit going on with the titular characters that I feel plenty don’t talk enough about. 😔

[edgy bone]

AND I FORGOT ABOUT IT AND DIDNT GO

CRIES

sobeline

[dusty fable]

lmao

[high storm]

I want one day to taste how human flesh feels on your tongue

If I ever gonna grow old I will try every drug there is

[dusty fable]

you can cut a pinky and roast it

[mighty cape]

Make sure to get some salt and pepper ready

[high storm]

I am not giving a finger for a possibility

It's all or nothing

My favourite video game is RIMWORLD, ofc I like canibalism

What's so bad about it anyways

[mighty cape]

Tastes like liver

Liver tastes bad

[dusty fable]

You should also play Fear and Hunger. Might become your next favorite

[tidal shore]

I'm fine with people trying to draw trends in what they find appealing, I'm fine with people trying to include some of those trends in their writing, but it has to be intentional

once people in power force a writer to change what they make, that's what I don't like

[high storm]

Watched plenty of let's plays, too hard to enjoy

[edgy bone]

i see

[high storm]

Like

Difficult

Poor wording

[mighty cape]

Imagine if they made an Andy & Leyley anime. What studio and staff should work on it?

[high storm]

I like difficult games in moderation

[mighty cape]

[high storm]

Sekiro was actually pretty easy all things considered

[dusty fable]

you know, getting human flesh is also difficult. You need to start somewhere

[mighty cape]

Just clone yourself

Smh

[high storm]

Died on last boss only like 60-70 times

[tidal shore]

whaaaat

[high storm]

That's nothing

[tidal shore]

man

I guess my fav action game ever is easy 😔

[high storm]

I died 4 times more playing terraria calamity

Providence alone killed me 276 times

Sekiro got nothin on terraria

[high storm]

Well if I get drafted I might just....

[tidal shore]

can you 100% avoid all damage in Terraria?

[high storm]

Fuck no

Can parry plenty in Sekiro tho

[tidal shore]

that's the difference

[high storm]

I mean if you can dodge then you can

You can beat terraria hitless

With 1 hp

[high storm]

I've seen a man beat a boss I spent 300 attempts on, without WASD keys

[high storm]

Terraria calamity mod is difficult as fuck, Sekiro is just learning patterns

[tidal shore]

I hate rng in combat, the type of rng that doesn't let you react in time or anticipate, that's just bad game design masquerading as difficulty

[high storm]

And I do like to think I am not a goldfish and can remember stuff

It's more so bullet hell

And it was really really punishing at times

I had to make 50% of my world into emptiness for final boss arena

[edgy bone]

WAIT POMU WROTE A MANGA

poggies

[high storm]

And I still lost like 100+ times

Mechs can suck my balls

[high storm]

The thing is, you can dodge ANY attack in terraria, it's just so fucking difficult it's crazy

[tidal shore]

dunno, never played

[high storm]

40 bosses marathon without being hit once existing as a video is just insane to me

[edgy bone]

omg doofensrhmirtz

poggies

[rancid ledge]

Sekiro is awesome too

[high storm]

Dodge this

Granted, it's modded

[high storm]

Oh yeah it is amazing

My only dissatisfaction is minibisses

[rancid ledge]

the combat and gameplay are insane

[high storm]

Mini bosses were fucking awful

[rancid ledge]

just don't die.

[high storm]

Hates almost every encounter

Always accompanied by mobs to interrupt the fight

[rancid ledge]

unless yall play bloodborne and dark souls, also elden ring

[tidal shore]

what do those lines mean

[rancid ledge]

bloodborne is fucking good as shit.

[high storm]

Incoming attack

[tidal shore]

easy

[high storm]

I died to drunk Juzzo like

15? Times

Killed Oniwa in 4th try

Mini bosses fucking SUCKED

Bosses were great tho

Demon of hatred least favourite easily tho

[edgy bone]

only real complaint i had about sekiro was that the resource for using your fancier weapons (equivalent to mana in other games) wasn't replenished on respawn and you had to go grind small mobs to charge it

[high storm]

I didn't use it for like 85% of the game and did just fine ngl

They are kind of a crutch

[edgy bone]

that would mean that if you died to a boss (and it's a miyazaki game, you always die to bosses), it meant that you either had to pause your attempts to to grind for charges or just do the boss without using any fancy weapons

[rancid ledge]

how would you rate the gameplay??

[edgy bone]

which made teh whole gimmick kinda pointless in my eyes

i wanted to use the weapons more but i hate grinding

[high storm]

10/10, but any time I have to fight a group of mobs it drops to 5/10 because mini bosses and gang attacks suck

[rancid ledge]

I honestly want to play it, bloodborne and hollow knight

[high storm]

Isshin was amazingly satisfying boss fight

He never felt unfair

He is strong ass old ass mf

Pure technique, and glock

[tidal shore]

what I like about Sekiro is, when you die to a boss, it's not because your level is too low, u just need to git gud

[high storm]

Pulling out that 5 shot flint lock pistol lololo

[tidal shore]

so many games keep progress locked behind grinding levels

[rancid ledge]

all there is just parrying

[tidal shore]

it was a nice departure

[high storm]

Not really true

[edgy bone]

play more action games

but yea i getcha

[high storm]

A lot of depth is in battle technique

[rancid ledge]

theres also rise of the ronin where you make you own character and just choose your weapon

[high storm]

Various uses of such and your gadgets and stuff

[tidal shore]

hack n slash, beat em ups, shooters, which type?

[rancid ledge]

oh more than just a parrying game??

[high storm]

There is a lot to prosthetics and battle techniques if you engage with those systems game is much easier

And just more enjoyable overall I suppose

[rancid ledge]

oh yeah the prosthetic arm that sekiro has

[high storm]

It has like what

8? Different tools

[rancid ledge]

honestly sekiros prosthetic has the best designs

[edgy bone]

anything that's not overly reliant on levels

[rancid ledge]

shinobi tools.

[edgy bone]

i dont really play much of those myself so can't help you

[high storm]

I never upgraded them until 18 hours into the game

[edgy bone]

im an rpg guy at heart

[high storm]

I was beating bosses with slash and cut until death did us apart

[edgy bone]

i'll say other than sekiro my favorite action combat system is the new spiderman games if you havent tried em yet

[high storm]

Play DOOM eternao

Very fun very awesome

[tidal shore]

I'm not familiar with many games like that (aside from puzzle games lmao)

ohyeah I wanted to try Doom for a while

[edgy bone]

ugh

[rancid ledge]

you also have the combat arts as well

[high storm]

Gotta be the emptiest Sunday I've seen on shonen jump app yet

[edgy bone]

roguelikes are something i constantly see people suggest if you want something that's a pure skill test
