yeah, I get what's trying to be said by that point, but I don't think that test works in this scenario lol

[mighty cape]

Success rate: very high

[next crescent]

I guess lol

Idek what the scenario is tbh, just the out of context screenshot

[mighty cape]

It’s from The Ambition of Oda Nobunaga where dude travels back and time but into an alternate history where Nobunaga (the guy who united all of the Japanese islands) and other feudal lords are young women.

The dude just really likes mammaries and won’t take any slander against them lightly ig.

If I were gonna guess based on regular tropes and the pic: the lil one on the right probably called out the one on the left for being fat bc of her boobs

[fair wedge]

[mighty cape]

Then cue this guy coming in between them lol

[rancid ledge]

what the actual fuck.

uknow what nvm, forget what i said.

[mighty cape]

Lmao

[fair wedge]

🤣

[next crescent]

Huh

[high storm]

Based as fuck

I would not watch/read about shit like that but damn do I respect it

[fair wedge]

wtf is that

[high storm]

Golden wind jojo

In meat canyon style (his video about Mr. Beast to be exact)

[fervent hollow]

Yall, its here

After all that tokyo ghoul talk, i ended up with promised neverland LOL

[high storm]

Me 🙂
Me 🙂

[fair wedge]

🤣

[fervent hollow]

Couldnt help it

[rancid ledge]

no words... NO FUCKING WORDS.

[hot notch]

Is it sad that I can actually name a large portion of these characters/the show they're from?

[ionic schooner]

Which ones the real one

[ionic schooner]

Idk them either

Ik the kirito dude he's basically the og

[topaz linden]

Pretty sure they're all real

[ionic schooner]

Ty mom

[high storm]

They don't have shit on my king

[rancid ledge]

bro who

[high storm]

No lookalikes as far as I am aware to one and only HERO of visual novels

[high storm]

Rance

[fair wedge]

You mean you didn't know?

[high storm]

I think it's referencing to them looking the same

[fair wedge]

That's my point lmao

[high storm]

Aka traditional self-insert phenotype

Bet they are also all magically 170cm

[long peak]

GET SCHWARTZ OUT OF THERE

[rancid ledge]

WHICH ONE IS SCHWARTZ?!

[long peak]

The goat himself Schwartz von Liechtenstein Lohengramm

https://tenor.com/view/fantasy-bishoujo-juniku-ojisan-to-punch-schwartz-gif-25567848

[topaz linden]

Fourth one in the top row

[long peak]

He's so awesome

[high storm]

Generiko Heroico

[long peak]

No he's awesome

[high storm]

When was the last time any of y'all saw an isekai main character with bright hair

If ever

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/that-time-i-got-reincarnated-as-a-slime-reincarnated-as-a-slime-rage-rimuru-tempest-gif-22990324

[long peak]

First one I thought of was Atem from yugioh

He's technically isekaid

Also Tachibana from Fabiniku

[topaz linden]

[shadow knot]

^^ smash or pass anyone

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/no-game-no-life-gif-18476266

[high storm]

Tbf he is androgenous outlier

[high storm]

We really bringing up fossils now

[long peak]

Still a bright haired main character

[high storm]

They don't do them like that for 10+ years then? Lol

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/saijaku-tamer-sora-weakest-tamer-saijaku-tamer-wa-gomi-hiroi-no-tabi-wo-hajimemashita-femicia-gif-14524429711043561540

[high storm]

Who is the main character here?...

[rancid ledge]

whats his story about

[topaz linden]

...the girl?

[high storm]

Couldn't tell, looks like token side character a lot ngl

Like a animal-girl sidekick or an elf or smth or sorts

[topaz linden]

Show's got a really pretty opening
https://youtu.be/-biFNoRk-3I

[high storm]

It's okay-ish

[long peak]

Basically he's a side character from hit show Fabiniku, a weeb high schooler that day dreamed about being isekaid, long story short, he gets isekai'd and gets powers, so he thinks he'll be able to talk to people, but turns out, a nerd with social anxiety woth powers is still a nerd with social anxiety.

When the main characters bring him and a guard from the fantasy world back to their apartment, he loses in Smash bros to someone who's never seen electricity before

[topaz linden]

that's high praise from you tbh

[high storm]

Looks good but god am I tired of high pitched female voices in openings ngl

I really dig opening with some guitar riffs and shit

[long peak]

Also he thought the main characters were around his age (17-20 ish) when they're in their 30s and have full careers

[topaz linden]

personally love me a good Sawano opening lol
They're all super similar, but that's not a bad thing if they're all similarly hype

[high storm]

Sound like a journalist here for a bit lol

[long peak]

I must tell of Schwartz von Liechtenstein Lohengramm's story whenever required

I love him so much as a character

[high storm]

https://youtu.be/9StfX1p9LuY?si=ln3FDSPctRypvwhx

Like how is this not the best shit ever?

[shadow knot]

psycho pass s1 having two back to back banger openings is insane

[high storm]

Black clover opening 10 in black/white is probably the best long shonen opening I've ever seen

[shadow knot]

sucks it got tokyo ghouled

[topaz linden]

the riff at 0:50 reminds me a lot of Noragami's opening
https://youtu.be/aZenmeRytEM

[high storm]

And no, I have not watched a single episode

Nor am I am going to lol

[shadow knot]

I don't hear it

[high storm]

Ah, one of my first anime, it had it's greats

I personally really liked the pink clumsy goddess girl

She is so cute and nice

[shadow knot]

oh I kinda hear what you mean

[topaz linden]

just that little riff in the opening (~0:08)

[shadow knot]

yeah ik

[topaz linden]

I forget the music term for it

that thing where you kinda just go up and down the notes

[shadow knot]

bit of a stretch but ig how its arpeggiated

yeah

[high storm]

Almost every opening with guitar riffs in it has been heard by me is how much I love that shit

[shadow knot]

just a reach imo because different key

and context

[dusty fable]

it actually gets very good somewhere after episode 40 or something, like really good. The first arc is the stupidest shit ever. I was lucky I watched through it, which I never usually do

[high storm]

I just genuinely don't care about show at all, I don't want to even risk a chance to ruin such GREAT openings with even 1 subpar episode

I enjoy them in a vacuum

I think every black clover opening is fucking awesome and show might just ruin them for me lololo

[dusty fable]

sure, but it's worth watching. I would say it gets to the level of FMA storytelling, and that one I consider the top shonen

[rancid ledge]

whats considered the best isekai??

[dusty fable]

SAO

[rancid ledge]

what isekai would yall reccomend??

[rancid ledge]

NO

[shadow knot]

no isekai

[rancid ledge]

GET THAT SHIT AWAY FROM ME

[high storm]

Sure bud

[dusty fable]

that was sarcasm

[high storm]

What's next top tier recommendation? Akame ga kill?)

[high storm]

Well obviously

[dusty fable]

ofc, mainly because there is no great isekai, lmao

[high storm]

How harsh

[shadow knot]

only the ones that are not coined the isekai term but are technically isekais
are the only great ones

[topaz linden]

For me, I love openings that try and do something different/have some style to them. There's a ton of openings with sick songs, but meh af visuals and it honestly feels like such a waste.

Personal favorite combo being Drifters (I actually dropped the show ~2 episodes in, but god do I love the OP)
https://youtu.be/cXabZ_-QPb0

[high storm]

I LOVE THIS ONE

[topaz linden]

reminds me of the old Heavy Metal film if you ever saw that lol

[high storm]

Re:zero is genuinely great though

[shadow knot]

oh drifters is solid from what I remember

[shadow knot]

[topaz linden]

yeah, think it just wasn't for me

Can def respect a hype op tho

[high storm]

Drifters is really fucking awesome

Isekai too lololo

I can't describe it besides being just fucking cool and awesome

[rancid ledge]

IS A QUESTION REALLY HARD TO ANSWER

[high storm]

For me opening must be either
Some nice ass guitar
Strong vocals
Iconic
Very unique

[rancid ledge]

HELL I EVEN TRIED TO WATCH MUSHOKU TENSEI

[high storm]

Re:zero is good imo

[rancid ledge]

BUT NOPE miss elf girl was fucking feral as fuck

[topaz linden]

Don't really think there's really a "best" one (not just cause the genre's oversaturated, but because "isekai" on its own just isn't really a genre. It's a premise. There's isekais of pretty much every genre)

[high storm]

Hardly anyone could call Drifters and Tensura same genre I think lol true

[dusty fable]

isekai became a genre. Since it has now defining attributes

[high storm]

@rancid ledge Sonny boy is isekai if you like the genres it covers

It's really "art house" dunno how to better put it

[shadow knot]

so btooom is an example https://youtu.be/5GjbLOe_cgw?si=aIX_-9KScX0k5wCB

[topaz linden]

Btooom's is hype lol

[shadow knot]

sonny boy is good but it's definitely a filter show

great even

[topaz linden]

Personally was thinking of Idaten Deities and Kokkoku's OPs as some that might fit

[shadow knot]

those two fosho

[high storm]

I watched Idaten purely because of opening

[shadow knot]

I watched some of it because ishuzoku author

[high storm]

It was pretty decent imo, nothing too crazy to fan about

[high storm]

Wait fr? Had no idea

[shadow knot]

yea

[high storm]

https://youtu.be/_5WvUPHF5f8?si=zZOHRQFzQfRVlxUa

Consider this tho

Certified BANGER

[shadow knot]

oh that one is not bad yeah

don't really remember much from the manga aside from the cool chapter font covers stuff

[rancid ledge]

bro deadman wonderland is good

[high storm]

https://youtu.be/Ua5UARWRYLA?si=HEVHR6n9aPNqJWEJ

By Great vocals I mean like

[long peak]

Domestic girlfriend lmao

[high storm]

Stuff like this

OP is amazing, not ever gonna watch the show tho

[topaz linden]

Haven't watched the show yet, but Bastard had a hype af opening
https://youtu.be/zpDq0olK9eg
Can't really go wrong with Coldrain for someone to do an opening theme

[high storm]

One of few anime songs I actually downloaded and listened semi-daily

[shadow knot]

you guys should shoot a top 5 openings

[high storm]

?

Wdym by that

[shadow knot]

make a top5 anime openings

I think I made one here before I'll see if I can find it

[long peak]

Cowboy bebop
Link click season 2
Fmab season 3 or 4 I don't remember
Samurai champloo
Durarara

For all different reasons

[shadow knot]

oh wow link click op2 is interesting

[long peak]

Link click op2 is mostly for the visuals and audio gimmick that 100% fits with the theme of the season

It's a decent song, but putting the song in reverse for the latter half is a very good idea

[shadow knot]

mhm I get it

[long peak]

Although the rest of them are pretty obvious

Also bleach op2 is very good, the peak aka the one piece gear 5 opening (idk what number op it is) is very good and dragon soul are my favorite of the big 3

[shadow knot]

it took me a few relistens to fw drrr op1
still gonna be a fan of op2 though

[dusty fable]

Promised Neverland
FMAB
Death Note
Psycho Pass
Maria Holic (or Overlord, those two kinda close)

[shadow knot]

bebop and champloo are fine picks too

[long peak]

Nujabes is my favorite artist so champloo is an easy pick

[shadow knot]

tpn op1? ngl wasn't a fan of that

[topaz linden]

song's pretty hype tbf

[shadow knot]

I still listen to the luvsic parts from time to time

[long peak]

Although the best song from champloo is San Francisco

[shadow knot]

I think for comparison I really fw the co shu nie ED for that show way more than the opening that it blew it out of the water

https://youtu.be/-7VRXvj4A84?si=Lw_3cHOuTWcMj-1a

[long peak]

Honorable mentions to literally anything bump of chicken makes though, it makes me happy hearing their music

[high storm]

Samurai champloo
Black clover opening 10
Psycho pass opening 2
Serial Experiments Lain
Vinland saga op1

Close up runners are stuff like Naruto cus iconic, and Mob Psycho 100 because I can't pick a favourite

[long peak]

I forgot mob

[shadow knot]

nice picks

[long peak]

All of the mob openings are peak

[high storm]

I have no idea what is serial Experiments Lain is even about I found the song first and later found out it is used for an opening lol

Listen to it almost daily

[shadow knot]

me hearing sangatsu and kekkai sensen openings from them

https://tenor.com/view/jjk-jujutsu-kaisen-sukuna-peak-fiction-absolute-cinema-gif-8477083568112127482

[long peak]

I like their stuff in dungeon meshi and spy fam too

If someone used polka dot stingray music in an op or ed I would be very happy, but I dunno what would fit

[high storm]

I like "Man with a mission" they know how to make a nice solid opening

[shadow knot]

for me its unison square garden through kekkai sensen, fgo, ballroom e youkoso, op4 for sangatsu
and everyone now knows them through blue lock

[shadow knot]

tried learning one of their songs on guitar, would be awesome if they can cover for an anime one day

[long peak]

But we can all agree that the Kaiju no 8 opening and ending are dogshit

[high storm]

Listen it's bad yes but not unlistenable

[long peak]

They picked the most milquetoast performers possible

Oh yeah, also sleeper pick

BNA has a great op and ed

[high storm]

Dororo has some NICE openings

[shadow knot]

everything about BNA was alright

[high storm]

Also obviously stuff like AoT, Jojo etc the popular stuff

[long peak]

The story was alright but the music was a banger

[high storm]

Death parade opening one of the catchiest ones ever

[long peak]

Clearly the best op of all time is High Earth Defense Club

It's the peak of all anime

[high storm]

Ousama Ranking has two 10/10 openings

[shadow knot]

got put on king gnu w/ banana fish
then they did obama ranking & jjk lol

https://tenor.com/view/your-mom-is-special-jjk-meme-jjk-yuji-itadori-gif-9784038236298805380

[high storm]

Obama XD

[topaz linden]

Y'all clearly passing on the coolest anime opening of them all...
https://youtu.be/f8d3bW42aFY

https://tenor.com/view/sakamoto-desu-ga-cute-reading-gif-13804885

[high storm]

Show's ending was kind of fixed by a tiny spin-off, very good show overall imo

[shadow knot]

for me its the usual, first half great second half mid

think I got too high expectations lol

[high storm]

I like gasing up stuff I enjoyed to my friends even knowing they won't ever watch it

Like Devilman crybaby? What a show

OSTs from that bitch go so hard

[shadow knot]

its such a good creative direction of devilman too

yeah ushio ost go hard

boogiepop, dvmn crybaby, csm and soon dandadan

[high storm]

My expectations for dandadan adaptation could not be higher

The stuff working on it are all great from A to Z

[topaz linden]

the trailer music for it has been fantastic. I'm really curious to see what they do for the opening

[high storm]

Something funky is my theory

I can not see Dandadan getting a serious opening

[topaz linden]

https://youtu.be/Qf4iaJ9K8_A The song in the teaser trailer seems like a potential OP candidate 👀

[high storm]

Like Mashle opening 2 level funky

[topaz linden]

0:08 onward

[high storm]

With the bring bom bom bom stuff

Something like that would fit very much imo

[topaz linden]

I could see it

[high storm]

I can't stress enough how perfect VA for Okarun is

[topaz linden]

The new Monogatari's getting a super high energy song from Yoasobi for its OP

[high storm]

He was made for this

[topaz linden]

indeed

all the voices fit so well

[high storm]

Can't wait for Nemona VA

Rei we deserve

I NEED her to sound as dead calm as possible

[mighty cape]

@edgy bone bc it’s cute

(Maoyuu Maou Yuusha)

[rancid ledge]

i thought i was seeing boruto again

[next crescent]

a decade later and this song still slaps
https://youtu.be/1iSTJYIXYao?si=wxHTEtmdm_FI0xyg

[hot notch]

You're missing part 3

It doesn't flow together as nicely as Part 1 into 2 does but still great song in it's own right. Also Casey just has an amazing voice.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K_6kcQvJXnc

In context Part 3 completes the arc of Ruby struggling with her identity in relation to Summer that starts in Part 2.

[next crescent]

honestly never liked pt 3 as much as 1 and 2

i'm just a sucker for the rock

and the awesome fucking guitar solos

and the angelic vocals in the background

and just all that energy

[tidal shore]

part 1 and 2 bang

im used to hearing them

part 3 tho 🤔

[next crescent]

Yee

[edgy bone]

member when the demon king was big and scary

02pensive

[edgy bone]

same

i dont really like any of the new songs that much tbh

they just dont have the same vibe anymore

[tidal shore]

hey I remember watching that one, good times

moment

[outer scaffold]

Tell me, is he a japanese or a german?

[outer scaffold]

His arurian dance is his best song imo, try to listen to that while playing GOT riding a horse and taking a stroll

[outer scaffold]

(No order)
Komi S1
All of AoT op (except the second one and rumbling)
Beastars S2
NNT S1
Tokyo Ghoul S1

[high storm]

Rumbling easily wins THE most spoilery opening ever

[outer scaffold]

NNT S1 opening is such an adrenaline imo

[high storm]

Btw what is NNT?

[outer scaffold]

Nanatsu no taizai (Seven deadly sins)

[high storm]

Bruh never seen is called that

[outer scaffold]

It's their japanese name a.k.a their real name

[high storm]

I remember opening 2 being pretty awesome

[high storm]

🙄

[outer scaffold]

P.S. i don't know if that's true or not, can someone help me correct it please?

[high storm]

Well how else would you call a show that reads "the seven deadly sins"?

Nanatsu - 7
Taizai - "serious crime" which in context obviously means sins

Because "7 of serious crimes" doesn't sound too well ya know

[high storm]

What other translation would you suggest?

[edgy bone]

mostly manga readers called it nanatsu

if you weren't around at the time then yea you probably didnt see it

[high storm]

Every manga gets short named

[outer scaffold]

Well, i always assume that the japanese name is the real one, so i'm scared if the real one is the english name

[high storm]

Nobody on the internet uses full titles all the time

[outer scaffold]

Note: I haven't watched it, but this specific opening is so good

[high storm]

They mean the same thing in different language, wdym "real name"

[outer scaffold]

Well, what i mean by "real name" is that the mangaka uses english word or it was advertised by japanese media using english word

[high storm]

Well on the Japanese shelf it's ofc 七つの大罪 not "Seven deadly sins"

But characters literally ARE depictions of sins

If you don't believe me check the wiki lol

[high storm]

Well "Berserk" is called "Beruseruku" in katakana but you aren't gonna call it that will you? Lmao

[fluid tinsel]

Serie transferring magic makes her incapable of using that magic? Unless she relearns it

[high storm]

Not a biggie for an elf ngl

[fluid tinsel]

Is superior mage = great mage I'm reading manga rn.

[high storm]

Soul track is zoltraak fyi

And yeah seems so

[long peak]

He's a Japanese kid that's kind of like fischl, he gave himself a fancy German name in the fantasy world because he thinks it's cool

[outer scaffold]

Ooh, i thought he was a german pretending to be a japanese... or maybe he was a german who got isekai'd idk

[long peak]

Nah, he's just omega silly

[high storm]

The yap demon

[chilly lynx]

Hell nah

[high storm]

Oshi no ko just switched gears in right direction and I am so glad

Finally stirring away from ||sibling love||, what a W!

[shadow knot]

L

[edgy bone]

just learned about this damn

wild to see

[craggy mango]

Aka Akasaka fell off

The worst girl about to win

[topaz linden]

Nah, the character's a chuuni (delusional roleplayer), and throwing in random German is an extremely typical chuuni thing to do

That and random English lol

https://youtu.be/8EUuYxXJ6MY

[dusty fable]

who tf is Barbara Cartland, lmao, 723 books. That's like writing a book a month for her whole life

[edgy bone]

yea and only one of them has a dedicated wikipedia page

[tidal shore]

broken german 😭

[high storm]

Says any fan of any female character depending on the week

[topaz linden]

Except the We Never Learn readers

[high storm]

Never heard a thing about that anime so idk whatchu mean

[shadow knot]

was a sensei simp but open to uruka winning

[topaz linden]

Ah, was a romance anime with 5 different love interests...
Author decided to make ||6 different endings for it to give each of the girls a "winning" ending (five 10 chapter ending routes, + one joke "harem" route chapter)||

[high storm]

Holy based

[topaz linden]

Incredibly so lol

[tidal shore]

bokuben

???

[shadow knot]

yeah

[topaz linden]

Think that's the JP name, yeh

[tidal shore]

dropped it after a few chapters, seeing how it was one of those "we will tease the audience about romance but never actually deliver until the very end"

[dusty fable]

anyway, what is this. Like this list is so unrepresentative. Pretty sure Homer's Illiad and Oddysey should be somewhere there too

[edgy bone]

best selling fiction authors

[tidal shore]

much better than quintessential quintwats

[edgy bone]

it's just sorted based on sales

[topaz linden]

I'd say it's one of the better ones for romance tbh. A lot of them get legit good moments and develeopment over the series (plus I really enjoyed all but one of the ending routes)

[shadow knot]

they’re both the same tier for me but bokuben edges out a lil bit

[edgy bone]

i tried getting into it once but didnt like the comedy

quintuplets had fancier mystery storytelling which i vibed with more

[tidal shore]

I don't see it

kirito and asuna had a better romance arc tbh

[topaz linden]

Well yeah, you dropped it after a few chapters right? Can't see what ya don't read

[tidal shore]

tries to kill mc with poison

[dusty fable]

well, that's different from most read authors, but I guess this is rather hard to quantify

[topaz linden]

Tbh, I want to enjoy Quin more, but that ending kinda retroactively soured the whole series for me...
Such lazy writing

[dusty fable]

I wonder if you can potentially extrapolate the number from the number of mentions and quotations

[tidal shore]

I'd say 20-30 chapters is enough to get a good look
also, don't hit me with the "it gets better" i will hurt you

[edgy bone]

that never happens

_>

[tidal shore]

poison arc

[edgy bone]

wa-

[tidal shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TPUV8KLH7-M

[edgy bone]

those were sleeping pills

and it was in the intro

and it didnt really mean anything

[outer scaffold]

Nah, this romance harem manga talk and all of them get slammed by 100kanojo (no fight between the fandom, all of them get loved equally)

[topaz linden]

Tru

[dusty fable]

which one was their romance arc. It feels like the good boy Kirito had more interactions with other girls in the story

[shadow knot]

I think the fact that bokuben covered endings for everyone was the seller for me

both series are mid to me but can’t deny them as guilty pleasures nonetheless

[outer scaffold]

All sort of gf is there, you want what, mommy? You get it. boyish? You get it as well.

[tidal shore]

they went from frenemies to lovey-dovey pretty quickly tbh, but unlike with other girls (where kirito is the maiden saving slayer), here they were on mostly equal footing
also weren't there like 2 arcs for them to develop the relationship?

or more

I'm talking Aincrad only

[shadow knot]

aincrad was so fun to watch till they botched it with the elf stuff

[tidal shore]

could do without the elf stuff tbh

[outer scaffold]

The elf stuff is already a different game iirc

[tidal shore]

A1 pictures my goat, ruining characterisation since early 2000's

[shadow knot]

yeah

[tidal shore]

heard the novel actually better, and A1 botched it

that's what they always say

but then I actually read the differences

[shadow knot]

anything involved with that is why I think super lowly of s1 and s2

even ggo wasn’t that bad

[outer scaffold]

So Aincrad arc is still aincrad, that elf stuff is a different arc

[edgy bone]

funny you say that cuz

i know someone who was extremely pissed they did this

[shadow knot]

they added more sexual assault in the anime than the novel lol

[tidal shore]

fair, that's how I would see them too

[shadow knot]

high roller much

[outer scaffold]

Sinon is a popular character in SAO, right? If so and GGO is hated, then how else does the author introduce Sinon?

[tidal shore]

wasn't the second sexual assault scene like totally anime original?

[edgy bone]

said it felt like a cope out that made all the guessing games pointless

[shadow knot]

think so

[tidal shore]

or the tenties with the smol girl from when they were gonna revive her pet or something

[shadow knot]

it was semi clear that the red head was the yotsuba of bokuben

[dusty fable]

idk, it feels like he gave her the butter, then BAM they are engaged

[shadow knot]

till everyone gets an ending lol

[tidal shore]

butter

for me it was the fact that they didn't make such a big deal out of it that I liked it

[dusty fable]

yes. Intended

[tidal shore]

the passage of time was nicely conveyed too, so it didn't feel too abrupt

anyway, bokuben

https://tenor.com/view/judgement-cat-cat-angry-cat-cat-face-cat-forehead-gif-4731341898773190051

[dusty fable]

well, it was good, I agree. Like it didn't feel out of place. But the story isn't romance, so it can't be representative

[tidal shore]

the story isn't romance yeah

I do like to see it in normal stories though

ok "normal"

[edgy bone]

that was in the 2nd novel

novel 1 only has the stuff that relates to them clearing the bosses in the game

[tidal shore]

im taslking anime only since i havent read the novels

[edgy bone]

novel 2 added all the side stories in between

anime mixed them both in chronological order

[topaz linden]

Going off of the rule that the manga introduced (that whoever he was in contact with during the fireworks won), the anime ||pretty much confirms the childhood friend sport girl|| was intended to win (which lines up with her route being first), so I could see the author doing the multiple route thing as a last minute change.
I'd suspect possibly due to the Quin's series' blowback from its ending lol

[dusty fable]

I don't think GGO is hated. People dislike the whole season, because after GGO was a non-entity of a story about Yggdrasil

[tidal shore]

||whaaat? childhood friend won? crazyyyyyy||

[topaz linden]

Except the one time it mattered (goddamn ||Nisekoi|| baiting me like that)

[shadow knot]

ye I think you mentioned it before
author saw how bad QQ folded so he’s like “not making that mistake, everyone gets an ending”

big iftrue

[tidal shore]

dude forget yggdrasil, the female gamer story after that is goat

was it yuuki

or was it before that one, been a while since i watched so order is a bit jumbled

[shadow knot]

ggo is fine, whatever
cool gun action game and all that
what happens after that is the elf shit again and I just watched it at double speed

[topaz linden]

Think the authors kept in contact iirc (not sure if friends, but close enough to congratulate each other on finishing their series).

I ckuld see Quin's author showing Bokuben's the desth threats he got and being like "...up to you man"

[tidal shore]

brotherrrr don't forget my goat

[shadow knot]

who is she

[tidal shore]

fail

[topaz linden]

Yuuki, yeh?

[shadow knot]

fail, never heard of her cuz I don’t take those!!

[topaz linden]

Trying to remember the name lol

[tidal shore]

y'all forgot about the best part of the season

[topaz linden]

[shadow knot]

alicization could’ve been so good ngl the bromance go hard

[tidal shore]

had it been presented with more emotion I think it would hit pretty hard

[dusty fable]

why. I watched like 1 hour of that story and didn't find anything worthy there

[outer scaffold]

For me, if the trope is about fake dating, chances are that they will end up dating for real, the childhood friend will not win against the fake dating trope (also, why does almost everyone like the childhood friend? Is it because they already spend time with the MC from when they were a child?)

[dusty fable]

I would say a lot of people had a childhood crush and can probably relate somewhat

[tidal shore]

i think i said it here somewhere before, how exploring the concept of using full dive to give bedridden people a new chance at life, that alone is very interesting to me and I wish it was explored further

[dusty fable]

yep, pretty decent concept. Not very well conveyed tbh, since I have zero clue what you are talking about

[tidal shore]

yeah that's the problem

[dusty fable]

I can guess though

[tidal shore]

SAO author has like the best ideas for writing, but often fails to convey them in a way that would resonate with people (also it's likely that A1 also fucked up here)

[dusty fable]

true, the concepts are all quite good, which is why SAO is pretty popular

well, that would have been a once in generation story, if the author had a really good narration

[outer scaffold]

Yeah, that makes sense, either way, you can't force the author to make the childhood win (onodera incident), also the same thing for the partner at the start of the story (not the start of their life) (tadakoro megumi incident)

[dusty fable]

well, if anyone besides editor could force an author to do anything, it's a sad day for an author and his story

[outer scaffold]

Japanese people are all of these examples. They protest about onodera and tadakoro not winning so badly, that souma's mangaka "hides" the fact that implies souma marries erina

[tidal shore]

honestly I didn't get it until recently
there was one story I read where all the concepts were pretty interesting themselves, and allowed for the story to progress in a much more interesting way, but the author just went like 😐 and then im like 😐
and it's not like that writing just didn't resonate with me, because it itself did not have anything to offer 😭 like it was so dry and devoid of any emotion

sometimes I would watch a trash anime with fansubs, just because the subs elevated the anime (Nisekoi is a good anime though)

||Why gojo fans though? Do they want gojo to be alive for real?||

[high storm]

||Gojo is still dead, it's just Yuta in different font||

|| Quite literally took the likeable part out of character and just left a shell with abilities to use||

I don't care for red, blue, purple infinity whatever, I care for Gojo

[outer scaffold]

Well, sorry to talk about gojo fans, but "most" gojo fans are for his looks

[high storm]

And his nasty personality

||which he now straight up got stripped of lmao||

||The one fighting now is NOT Gojo, that's just his body being puppeteered||

[outer scaffold]

||So i think some of them will be fine with gojo being "alive"||

So... Noragami is getting a S3 huh? I feel like this manga and SoTE shouldn't get any continuation at all, they kinda fell off, when i saw a post on IG talking about noragami manga, it was already going to the end, idk what happens on SoTE, can anyone inform me who is still reading it about the current story and the weird "things" happened in the manga?

[tidal shore]

what is sote

also

happy for Noragami S3

underrated and goated

[outer scaffold]

Seraph of The End, the vampire anime

[tidal shore]

oh

that one was also pretty cool

but that's cuz it has best girl

noragami has best boi

all things are balanced

[brazen isle]

Hi

Is anime fun

[outer scaffold]

And both fell off, i've said what i said.

[tidal shore]

both for me only got better

as they started to delve into politics

well

"politics"

I did read ahead for sote though

so 3rd season would just be regurgitating what i've already seen

similar could be said for noragami, but i don't remember how far I got

[outer scaffold]

Nah SoTE fell off, even in the writings, i've said the example here and i will say it again: yuu suddenly revealed as a reincarnation of mika and shinoa being a lover girl, only live solely for the purpose of loving yuu all of sudden

[tidal shore]

crazyyyy

I did find that odd too

[chilly lynx]

Sote....I haven't heard that name in a long time

[tidal shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=23kUulN2sYQ

we need Youjo Senki S2

[high storm]

Find me bald, I need a new "literally me"

[high storm]

DDDD adaptation is cooking something fucking weird and wrong

First episode is from 90 chapters ahead of the first one

It is a good manga why take this approach is absolutely beyond me

Actual HORRIBLE first episode, if you want proper experience straight up SKIP it

First chapter was so good too, studio is NOT cooking

[high storm]

Staying faithful to panels though, that's pretty awesome

Hopefully next week episode is chapter 1

[tidal shore]

just watched it
unique art, kinda boring writing

[high storm]

Ever watched Naruto?

[tidal shore]

yeah, kinda forced myself through the first season (skipped all filler), then didn't even get past 8 episodes of S2

[high storm]

It's like Shippuden first episode, they start from veeeery far to tease something but do it poorly

Instead of "teasing" they straight up reveal some VERY important moments of story

[high storm]

In manga this reveal was shocking and had me audibly gasping, in anime it got me me audibly slapping my face in disbelief

Maybe anime only will enjoy the mystery and stuff but maaaan I am confused what this (honestly quite shit judging by previous works) studio is doing

[tidal shore]

then you might be interested to hear what I have to say about EP1

since I haven't read the manga

[high storm]

Go ahead

[tidal shore]

this is my first exposure

[high storm]

I very much am interested

[tidal shore]

so

3 times

I've been had 3 times

[high storm]

?

[tidal shore]

actually more, a few twists got me like "wtf"
||first with the 8 year skip, then with the human skinsuit, then when they killed the 2 girls, and lastly kadode is actually alive? he has no memories of past 8 years but was still functional in that time?||
overall I am very intrigued (aside from kinda ass pacing and info dumpy writing)

but I can see how some of these reveals would be way more impactful 90 chapters in

[high storm]

Admittedly this is episode "0" so I can see some merit to do it this way but maaan am I left confused by this decision

I don't see stuff like that often, only examples of "Show's first episode is smth from the future" Naruro Shippuden and Boruto

[tidal shore]

Heavenly Delusions did something similar, but it was more intermingling different parts of the manga (and did it masterfully too, rare occasion where anime > source material)

[edgy bone]

boruto did it in the manga too

[tidal shore]

ok yea can't recall anything more like this, and my example doesn't count tbh cuz it's a wholly different

[tidal shore]

doesn't really count, does it? cuz then it's intended by the author
we're talking when anime changes the order of events from the source material

[edgy bone]

that's why i said that

[tidal shore]

???

[edgy bone]

kvit mentioned boruto as an example

i said it's also in the manga (thus it's not exactly the same)

if you wanna count it there's the one piece live action

or well techincally one piece in general but only by 1 chapter

[tidal shore]

oh ok

[high storm]

I just have so little examples of JUMPING 90 CHAPTERS AHEAD 😭

[edgy bone]

Yea i gotcha

[tidal shore]

remember when fansubs were like this?

Hey, there is a new anime coming called "Too Many Losing Heroines" and people on IG already called this anime an "incels anime", what do you guys think? (The name of the anime should be obvious, if you wanna know the synopsis)

[tidal shore]

idk what kind of communities you hang out with that you see people call basic harem anime "incels anime" lmao

[long peak]

never heard of it

[outer scaffold]

It's not a harem anime (maybe), i've read the manga, they are not in love with MC (currently)

[outer scaffold]

It's about a romance story, but the anime is not about love, they are about what happened to the heroines who lost to the main heroine

[long peak]

oh

i dunno, it sounds like just a take on what happens after the harem ends

[lyric narwhal]

What

whart

[tidal shore]

what? from synopsis it seems he will be meeting a bunch of rejected girls

it is so going to be a harem

I'd be surprised if there are consistently recurring male side characters

[long peak]

well flame didnt describe it very well

i dunno

[outer scaffold]

I feel like those who called it an incel anime is because it kinda like corners women you know, making fun of them by showing them losing

[tidal shore]

reading these takes makes me die inside 💀

[outer scaffold]

Hey, i'm just guessing

[tidal shore]

look, anyone who would describe it as "incels anime" is probably not sane to begin with

[outer scaffold]

Well, i just looked again at the replies of the comment, they say this is an incel anime because they thought the mc will try to take the woman as his

[outer scaffold]

Which is not true

[tidal shore]

ok im not reading anymore

i feel like i will grow stupid from reading this

[outer scaffold]

Well, maybe that concludes the argument 🙂

[tidal shore]

it's just an incredibly simplistic and reductive way of looking at a story

haven't read so can't say anything more concrete, and tbh I'm not even interested in the premise

[outer scaffold]

If it's with your favorite woman character, will you read it?

[tidal shore]

if someone convinces me I may read a few chapters

[outer scaffold]

But... i don't think you would read it, there are tropes that are pretty common in this manga, the lunch trope, the swimsuit trope, etc

[tidal shore]

tropes themselves aren't enough to make it boring for me

question is how will they be used, will the writing itself interest me, will the overarching themes interest me

Idk what that is but the cover art makes me wanna watch it

[edgy bone]

it's a shonen jump manga

about a guy who used to work as a hitman but retired to live a normal life and have a family

and shit happens that drags him back into that world

[tidal shore]

battle shounen yakuza house husband manga

[edgy bone]

he's not a house husband tho he has a job

[tidal shore]

battle sounen former yakuza husband who quit killing trying not to kill his assassins

[high storm]

Fable but good (haven't read it 🗣️💯🔥)

[edgy bone]

hes also not a yakuza that's a japanese gangster mob boss he was just a hired killer

[tidal shore]

yakuza then

[edgy bone]

typo

[tidal shore]

ok yea now i rember

he was an assassin

[craggy mango]

The animation looks fine, but i hope they improve it
https://youtu.be/XA4jmyg3rhY

[tidal shore]

nah this looks epic

[fair wedge]

Reminds me of a similar one where crime boss left and settled down but it (obvs) doesn't go smooth cause to the police (and his former gang) je just disappeared

They didn't realize he was still there but just living a normal life lul

[eternal wyvern]

At first I thought it was 3d, but ig that's just my eyes lol

[high storm]

Dandadan so fucking good lately it's insane, previous chapter had me gasping with this panel alone and now we get even more character development

Love me some gag/action/romance/drama/shonen/mystery/alien/supernatural manga

what is this convo

[high storm]

A professional hitman undercover working in ad company is asked to draw a santa with reindeers for Christmas for orphanage or smth

The whole gag is that he draws like a kid

Or as his coworkers put it "Pure hearted and kind" type of drawing

wtf they drew trump

First stage of evolution of cringe mobile spotted in the wild

[tidal shore]

elaborate

[high storm]

I am saying it's a first step to full fledged cringe mobile, also known as itasha

[tidal shore]

what is itasha, what is cringe mobile, why is it cringe

[high storm]

Like full anime wraps level of cringe, but on shittier car

[tidal shore]

o

nah this is fire

have you heard that there's a whole ass culture surrounding this exact concept

[high storm]

@tidal shore

[tidal shore]

oh

it's called itasha

forgor

[high storm]

Itasha literally IS cringe car

[tidal shore]

i rember seeing something similar in the wild, but it was much older and had more charm than this xd

come to think of it

people are less likely to steal cars with eye-catching stickers like this

great idea

[high storm]

Just use cheap car instead

Not worth the trouble

[tidal shore]

true

unlucky tho

I want a mazda rx 7

I may be able to afford it in 40 years lmao 😭

actually cheapest I found rn is for 20k usd, if I work abroad for 5 years I will be able to afford it

[outer scaffold]

Yo, any reccomendation of post-apocalypse adventure manga, set in a fantasy world?

[outer scaffold]

Prefer the mc going solo

[high storm]

That's a tough criteria

[outer scaffold]

Ok, scrap the adventure and solo genre (the original one is still very appreciated though), what would you reccomend?

[high storm]

Post-apocalypse? Sabikui bisco the one I remember watching semi recently and was actual really noticeable post apocalypse

[high storm]

Watch heavenly delusion

I swear it's sooo good, 10/10 show

[high storm]

That one is like 6-7/10

[outer scaffold]

Fantasy world though, i would say no skyscrapers, like destroyed medieval house and stuff like that

[high storm]

Ergo proxy too if you feel like you are a god damn connoisseur

[high storm]

Medieval realistic post apocalypse? Any apocalypse is NOT realistic already

Dr. Stone is pretty much non-modern post apocalypse?.... I guess

[outer scaffold]

Hey, i just want some reccomendation, i'm not a judge or something like that, or is it about an actual connoisseur?

[outer scaffold]

Already watched some of it, maybe pick it up later

[high storm]

Slow, full of symbolism, deep character dives and takes itself super seriously

Pretty much feels like a very long good movie

[outer scaffold]

If IMDB rated it 7.9, i feel like that's a good movie for anime

[high storm]

It's REEEEALLY slow at the start though keep in mind

[outer scaffold]

Don't worry, i read romance manga.

[high storm]

I had to take a brake after 3 episodes due to me almost falling asleep

[outer scaffold]

When does it pick up the pace?

[high storm]

4-5 episode funnily enough

But the setting is really cool and I might not remember every detail due to watching it very long ago I can not recall any frustrations I had with it besides slow-ish start

[outer scaffold]

How about romance manga, what is YOUR reccomendation? It can be anything, the ones you dropped, the one you cherished very much

[high storm]

I think I watched literally 1 romance focused anime, Wolf and spice, wanted to talk about smth with weeb girl in my class lmao

[outer scaffold]

Already read the manga

[high storm]

Okay googling says Violet Evergarden is also romance

Yeah it was pretty easy 10/10, watched 10th episode with my mom and later my roomamte

Masterpiece

Technically also Berserk, Gurenn Lagann, shield hero and steins gate but it wasn't NEARLY focused on as much

[outer scaffold]

Ok then, while we're at it, i reccomend you watch josee and the tigerfish movie, it's pretty good, and... guess what? Eve the singer has two soundtracks for the movie

[high storm]

Most focus was probably in Stein's gate

[outer scaffold]

Also, stream Shinkai.

[high storm]

Okay found another romance I watched

Kyokou Suiri is straight up dogshit

I did not enjoy the 10 theories of what happened for then just to turn out false and I just listened to all that yapping for NO reason WHATSOEVER

[high storm]

Scrolled 5 more pages and yeah I literally do not watch any romance whatsoever lol

[outer scaffold]

What's your preferred genre?

[high storm]

I dunno honestly

Thrillers maybe?

And just general fantasy stuff action/comedy, mfing mecha whatever

Yeah "suspence" fits the most, I've seen like half the shows on the very first page already

Well top left don't look full of suspense lmao

Also Babylon had one like 1 good character and exactly 1 good concept

Not enough to carry but certainly not the worst thing I've seen

I find the idea of "To end is evil and to continue is good" to be interesting enough to justify all the yapping characters do over it

[outer scaffold]

Top left is definitely suspense... just not the one you think about. (I've read the genre and tropes of it.)

[tidal shore]

true

[shadow knot]

I thought that show was okay

could’ve been better but I don’t think its mid

ai magase should’ve gotten more screentime

[whole canopy]

W anime and you can't prove me wrong

[tidal shore]

this is why I love DxD

[whole canopy]

It no jokes had bigger character development than most new gens

[tidal shore]

too bad another studio took over for season 3 or 4 was it, and then started following the novel again all of a sudden, which made the continuity really odd

[tidal shore]

NAHHHH AIN'T NO WAY BRO

[whole canopy]

I don't mind and the new artstyle was actually good

[tidal shore]

he ltierally goes from "let me poke your titties" to "join my harem"

[whole canopy]

Yes like look at boruto this Shi looks like more of a joke

Also remember issei because more respectable through the series

At least when it wasn't for his gaga attacks(which made him likeable)

Those were season 1 clips so makes sense

[whole canopy]

Season 1 and expect him to have character development at the beginning?

[tidal shore]

it's a wish fulfillment type deal, kinda like Trinity Seven, so I don't mind

rather, I'm not looking for character development in those sorts of stories

cue in To Love Ru acting like "ohhh mc-kun no longer gets a nosebleed from falling on girls in weird positions, that's so much character growth!!!!"

[whole canopy]

Issei is more of a "mc-kun actually knows what needs to be done and cares for only one girl and care more of quality over quantity "

[tidal shore]

he still wants to own a harem tho?

[whole canopy]

I think but he at least showed he truly cares for rias more than like"oh boobies!!"

[tidal shore]

granted, I only watched up to season 3

[tidal shore]

ehhh, okay I will give you that

[whole canopy]

Season 4 showed he loved rias more than anything..you can simply watched the final scene

Just find the clip on YouTube

[whole canopy]

Season 4 settled that he loved rias and had a new transformation based on the one he loves(rias)

[tidal shore]

lmaooo

based

[whole canopy]

Ikr

[whole canopy]

Note the transformation was simply his armour but with pink-redish than his green orbs

[outer scaffold]

You guys are scraping the guidelines with this one

Also, @high storm, this manga i will reccomend has suspension AND romance, don't mind the ecchi, it's just started (only one chapter for now)

We are talking about anime and not directly saying anything nsfw

[outer scaffold]

Well, i'm just saying

[whole canopy]

It's just talking about the main thing of an anime I didn't mean to say it in an nsfw intention i only said it as what the anime is mean for

[outer scaffold]

Ok.

[high storm]

Eww romance

[high storm]

I am not saying it's bad I am just being honest the extent of good it had

Magase was easily the selling point

ASMR queen

[whole canopy]

Depends

[outer scaffold]

Read it brother, it has mystery too, the romance for now isn't too much of it

[whole canopy]

From Japanese stuff I watch SOME anime,Kamen rider and super sentai

[topaz linden]

Added to my read later list, but I'd never read a manga with only one chapter out lol. Just a tease at that point

[outer scaffold]

Just read it if you have free time, you will be surprised

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/star-wars-obi-wan-kenobi-maybe-some-day-someday-one-day-gif-26036494

• the amount of manga I've read with dramatically different chapter 1s than everything else in the series lol

[whole canopy]

I recommend any Kamen rider and some super sentai

[high storm]

Go! Go! Loser ranger for peak sentai

Low-key (tots not a bait)

[outer scaffold]

Oh yeah, worth noting that the manga was just released recently

[whole canopy]

That is NOT part of the super sentia

[high storm]

I know

[whole canopy]

Super sentai is where power rangers gets it's fights frim

[whole canopy]

I'm gonna to touch yoy

[high storm]

Aight, tomorrow 8pm EST

[topaz linden]

Go Go Loser Ranger best sentai I've ever watched
only sentai I've ever watched

[whole canopy]

Watch go onger it's peak (it's one of those fun adventures with one traumatizing ep)

[topaz linden]

Nah, I'm good. Reason I dont watch them is willingly, not accidentally lol

That genre of shows just isnt for me

(Same with mecha tbh)

[whole canopy]

Kamen rider is more anime live action like and worth it

Kamen rider W has a detective twist in it

[topaz linden]

Generally, the only shows I'll watch in those genres are subversive/meta type shows

Like SSSS Gridman. I liked that one, but it's more of a play on its genre than a normal kaiju battle show 👀

Also, i want to ask a fun question, what anime character when you put in TAWOG (Gumball), it fits so perfectly, you can see them as a character from that world and not the original?

why do you expect me to get that reference

also unrelated note but does anyone here use firefox on pc

[mighty cape]

(I didn’t either cuz not even I know, besides her doing a funny dance)

[tidal shore]

where the funny dance

[high storm]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE let the pacing be good this time

Shit pacing with 25% of episodes being flashbacks in later half was absolutely disastrous

Manga deserves so much more, first half or about 60% was good enough to get me to read manga after all

[hot notch]

Yes

[edgy bone]

can you access youtube?

ever since yesterday night it's giving me a cannot connect error

i tested with a clean profile and it's the same thing

but it works fine on chrome

so i assume it's a browser issue

It was working for me last night and is still working now.

[edgy bone]

Hmm

[unkempt brook]

I finally remembered why I stopped reading the Tutorial is too hard webnovel. All chapters past 140 has TERRIBLE translation.

Is there anyone that can help me find somewhere that has better translation of this?

[high storm]

Idk just seem like a list of skills pretty self explanatory

[high storm]

Some of the skills are hilariously specific like what xd

"Knowledge before Babel time lvl6" and "basic trapezoidectomy"

What kinda plots happens there damn

[eternal wyvern]

I honestly didn't even watch ep 20 or smth when they met ||Anno Un||, cuz I think I forgot it's already out, even though I like reading the ||Andy vs Victor fight|| in the manga

[high storm]

I think did manga pretty dirty the longer it was going for

Hopefully my children killing GOAT may see the light of animation tho

[eternal wyvern]

I hope they fixed the pacing before ||Ragnarok||, cuz that arc does not need a lot of flashbacks to get to the heart of it all
||Nearly weeped when the casts got all wiped in the explosion after Fuuko got teleported to the moon||

[high storm]

Yeah, ||Rip fight had me super conflicted because I really wanted either side to win for once ||

[eternal wyvern]

I did have a bit of doubt with how davidpro handled the pacing since ep 1-2, but man, I didn't think it'd be that bad even going near the end, cuz UU's fast pacing has been one of the biggest selling points in the manga since day one for me

[high storm]

True that, even despite fast pacing I think characters are really well done and sad moments are really hitting the feels

It is a great manga with subpar anime adaptation imo

[eternal wyvern]

Speaking of Rip, I dunno if you're already caught up with the latest chapter yet, ||but I'm still kinda iffy with Leila's character arc (if she even had one) just ended with no further development in Loop 101. I hope Tozuka can bring more development to her in the last 3 (4?) Negator recruitment arcs before the 101 Ragnarok||

The mangaka has made every female characters have more depth into them, so I just find her surprisingly kinda lacking ngl

[high storm]

I personally think ||that three way marriage was suuuch a cop out||

I don't mind the "feel good" moments but man that's like an important choice and all

[high storm]

Juiz is so fucking goated and cool and awesome, really like her

Billy in the runner up category

My biggest criticism is how fucking corny the names of characters are

Mf with ability "Un-avoidable" is ofc named VOID

Sasuga

[eternal wyvern]

I feel like if he we had known more about ||Leila|| or she had more development before ||the marriage, before or during Rip's 101 arc||, it would've made that arc's ||three way marriage end|| waaay more satisfying

[high storm]

Girl really feels like a bit of plot device

But the other two kind of make up it for me and make me enjoy the arc none the less

[eternal wyvern]

I mean...she really is though, conceptually ||Rip's "goal" and reason to be edgy in the first place||

[outer scaffold]

||Three way marriage? Between who? (I haven't read the manga)||

[eternal wyvern]

If you don't care about spoilers, ||Rip and Leila+Latla (the girls are twin sisters)||

They like the same guy

[high storm]

I stan monogamy but I feel like my boy deserves a W, not the worst thing I've ever seen in manga in terms of fanservice tbh

Biggest fan service was probably jojo part 7 with numerous references to previous parts

[eternal wyvern]

Honestly I don't really care that much, but I do like to see them happy with the ||three way marriage|| arrangement
I just find ||Leila's|| character kinda iffy, given the mangaka's track record of writing compelling female characters

Plz Tozuka, make her relevant in the last 3-4 mini arcs before the big fight

I need something to care about her

[high storm]

I expected smth like ||since they all have like control over souls now maybe they can somehow push other souls and abilities to inherit people they want/need? Or Rip just yaps about it to her and she herself seeks out to become a negator, pretty unlikely scenarios tho||

[eternal wyvern]

||Unless Rip/Latla died midway battle and gave their negation to Leila (a la Shen to Mui in Summer)||, doesn't seem likely yeah

I do think she could be a one time/off screen support character for ||Bunny or Kururu's|| arc, kinda like ||Phil's mom in his arc||

No need to get negation powers, but any character interactions would be nice at this point

[high storm]

God how lame that was

Un-burn having a strong ass ability but the way how it occurs is just so silly

[eternal wyvern]

Good scenario, she gets some continuous plot relevancy in the future
A meh scenario, she's relegated to ||a role like Phil's mom||, as if she didn't already become that after ||the end of Rip's 101 arc||

[eternal wyvern]

I find the absurdity from how ||Fuuko asked Enji if he can go to the Sun|| still funny ngl

I hope he joins the ||Unchaste arc, cuz Kururu from the chapter spread didn't wear you typical goodie two shoes idol outfit like in 100||

[long peak]

This shit is lame

[high storm]

The fable was a actually a good read, really enjoyed the both serious and silly parts of it, never felt like they are clashing with each other or smth, characters were compelling and comedy is fun, very nice manga, like 8/10

Art style pretty dogshit tho

[edgy bone]

tcb finished translating part 2 a while ago if you wanna read
