[high storm]

Watched it when I was 17 but fuuuck I laughed my ass off

[chilly lynx]

I decided to start watching Mazinger Edition Z: The Impact

[eternal wyvern]

I remember watching nanbaka for a bit, but that one is also pretty funny
I didn't like how it went that much, so I dropped it

[rancid ledge]

imagine mihoyo makes genshin a anime

they wont

[high storm]

Yeah, cus UFOTABLE is doing that

Lol

Also bruh even the poster oozes this dirty aura from the getup of main heroine

[rancid ledge]

oh not the panty anime

nuh uh...

[chilly lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/mazinger-z-run-anime-gif-18721675

Panty anime?

Crazy

[rancid ledge]

FINALLY I NEED SOME MECHA RECCOMENDATIONS

NOWS THE TIME

besides gundam and evangelion

[eternal wyvern]

Ngl I thought the anime was an adaptation for the twin star exorcists mangaka's previous work
But apparently it's from a light novel

[chilly lynx]

I picked up the Mazinger Z anime

[chilly lynx]

And thought about watching GaoGaiGar afterwards

Probably Gurren Laggan too

[eternal wyvern]

Girls w/ pantsu on their heads are kinda common, surprisingly

[high storm]

I just watched the fucking opening and god how is it still on YT lmfao

8 year old anime y'all

[high storm]

Gurren Lagann 🗣️💯🔥

[eternal wyvern]

It's not copyright striked at all? Amazing

[high storm]

https://youtu.be/hfBY2E3snFs?si=V-RyrLCWX9K5TPp_

Posted by crunchy roll too

Funnily enough

[chilly lynx]

There's a lot of good mecha anime

Out there

[rancid ledge]

Lemme guess

Gurren Lagann
Fullmetal Panic
Gridman
Code Geass?

[eternal wyvern]

Then again, I remember seeing old anime clips from a decade ago still chilling somewhere in the depths of yt, so not that surprising

[high storm]

I didn't like code geass y'all

[chilly lynx]

I was gonna say Shin Getter Robo

[high storm]

Lelouch is such an asshole I hate him

[eternal wyvern]

Truly amazing

[chilly lynx]

And Mazinkaiser SKL

[chilly lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/shin-getter-robo-armageddon-change-damaged-ryoma-gif-19871466

[high storm]

I watched Berserk fully on YT

[chilly lynx]

Dang

[eternal wyvern]

Talking abt dirty jokes anime, I remember watching seitokai yakuindomo, that's prolly my biggest exposure to that type of anime

[chilly lynx]

I got some more mecha model kits that aren't Gundam related

[high storm]

14 fucking years

[eternal wyvern]

Man... can't belive it's been that long

[rancid ledge]

lmao he was in his edgy era

so Gaogai... what is it??

[high storm]

I watched whole first season because my friend convinced me to and I still didn't like any of it except dope mechs

[eternal wyvern]

Gag mangas have more longevity surprisingly, I remember going when I heard kochikame was 40+ years or smth

[wooden drift]

:rofl:

[chilly lynx]

GaoGaiGar?

[high storm]

I could sympathise with his goal if he wasn't such a prick about how he does it ngl

Also some plot elements were just so stupid

Like seriously ||second geass awakening was absurd and ruined potentially good moment imo||

[chilly lynx]

Never will watch Code Geass

[high storm]

Why?

I seem to be literally the 1 guy who doesn't like it

[chilly lynx]

I feel like it wouldn't be interesting to me

[edgy bone]

i dont like it much either

[chilly lynx]

Plus, I hate Lelouch

[edgy bone]

granted im just not a big fan of mecha and political stories in general

i dont like post timeskip aot for similar reasons

[high storm]

Ma man

[eternal wyvern]

Haven't watched code geass either, but from the clips I saw, I assume it's full of anime shenanigans

[chilly lynx]

Lelouch too edgy. He should be blended

[high storm]

There were some real amazing moments though you gotta admit

When ||Eren told his father to fight|| was PEAK aot

[edgy bone]

the whole eren reveal was cool yea

besides that idk

granted im manga only

i heard the anime did a better job with some moments

[high storm]

They changed ending in anime so hard it's crazy

[eternal wyvern]

The few anime-only that I kept up was...psycho pass, but even then it's only season 1

[high storm]

They also removed Armin thanking Eren for becoming a genocider

[edgy bone]

i want to binge it someday to see if i like it more now

[high storm]

That was a good removal

[edgy bone]

but it's not a high priority

[high storm]

PEEEEEAK

[rancid ledge]

gurren langan mech looks dope as hell wtf

[high storm]

Every form is just so cool

[chilly lynx]

Would consider watching the movie after I finish the main series

[edgy bone]

rip gainax

hope they can regroup somehow

[high storm]

His fucking final mecha gets a CAPE

[rancid ledge]

how about eighty six??

[edgy bone]

i used to hear a lot of peeps recommend eureka 7 back in the day

dont see it talked about much anymore

give it a try

[chilly lynx]

This piece of shit is on the levels of a god for some reason

[edgy bone]

nice angle

[chilly lynx]

Mazinger Zero doesn't actually have an anime style, cause they never bothered to do so

[high storm]

Do the impossible ❌
See the invincible 👀
Row! Row! Fight the power 💪
Touch the untouchable 🫳
Break the unbreakable 🛡️
Row! Row! Fight the power 💪

[high storm]

Lmao looks vaguely cool

Like old devilman type of cool

[eternal wyvern]

Don't watch its sequel, eureka 7 ao tho
Idk why, but I heard it kinda messes up w/ the continuity or smth

[edgy bone]

i havent watched either tbh i just know it used to get recommended quite a bit back in the day

[chilly lynx]

Zero, iirc, creates multiple worlds where it is on every media, like the giant Gundam statue is replaced with Zero.

[edgy bone]

and it's the only mecha i could think of that hasnt been mentioned already

[high storm]

Huh

[wooden drift]

🤐

[chilly lynx]

I googled the wiki on the Shin Mazinger Zero manga

[high storm]

🗣️

[chilly lynx]

Zero loses because the protag, Kouji, with the power of the imagination of all the people in Zero's world, to evidently calm Zero down

Zero clings on to the fame it once had when Mazinger Z was popular, and it refuses to believe that any other mecha is stronger than it

[high storm]

Wha

The fuck

[edgy bone]

reminds me of recreators a lil bit

[chilly lynx]

Zero really just erased all other mecha media because he was in the denial stage

[rancid ledge]

i need to watch recreators

love me some isekai fantasy animes

[edgy bone]

i didnt like the story that much but i thought the concepts were really cool

esp the main villain

[rancid ledge]

i tried watching grimgar too

[chilly lynx]

Daigundar looks interesting

Might give it a watch

[rancid ledge]

I think I have to go back to watching digimon adventures

[chilly lynx]

Do so if you feel like it

https://tenor.com/view/nikke-popcorn-doro-dorothy-gif-8626997574330021589

[edgy bone]

oh wow i just found out

the nijisanji subreddit turned on request to post a few months ago lmao

now it's all just birthday messages

and they all have 0 upvotes lmao

and the last month of them have zero comments too

[edgy bone]

wait hold up

im looking for a source

but apparently the company stated they wont support the en branch anymore?

💀

bro what

this is insane

[tidal shore]

bruh

yeah im not sure playing league until 5 am is a good idea 💀

how would phone calls drain her social battery when she streams all day?

wouldn't it be the streams that did it?

[edgy bone]

they usually do like 1 stream every few days i think

and it's only like 2-3 hours

[tidal shore]

https://i.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/002/723/508/9d2.gif

[edgy bone]

that just looks like chocolate mint

[fluid tinsel]

is eminence good or just popular because of waifus?

[edgy bone]

give it a try and see for yourself

it'll mostly hinge on wether you like the humor or not

[fluid tinsel]

So its a comedy with action

[edgy bone]

it's supposed to be a pardoy of isekai tropes

granted most of its parody style is just lampshading

[tidal shore]

the answer to this type of question will always be "check for yourself"

as far as the public opinion is concerned, the anime is good

[edgy bone]

we should get a bot message command for this

[outer scaffold]

But how would the bot know if it's a "how good this anime is?" type of question? Use AI?

[edgy bone]

no i meant

!bot command

try it for yourself and see

[outer scaffold]

Ohh, i thought it was automatic or something like that, not a command, but that works i guest

[edgy bone]

I literally said command in the initial message

[outer scaffold]

Ok, sorry, i am slow

It's the 2nd insert song in the latest episode

[outer scaffold]

Same, i want to check the requirements too

[edgy bone]

yea but

arent they related to bushiroad

i def remember hearing that name in one of their commercials

[hot notch]

I don't think so

Original Anime by Toei

[edgy bone]

do they have cards in weiss schwarz

[hot notch]

I don't even know what Weiss Schwarz is so idk

[edgy bone]

smh

[hot notch]

But it's a completely original Anime so I don't think it's related to anything

[edgy bone]

yea they do

that's why it sounded familiar

[outer scaffold]

Dolphin

I've never met Whale

[outer scaffold]

Wait, you're a dolphin tao now, why do you ask that?

[hot notch]

I was just curious if I still met the requirements because I know they up them every so often

[outer scaffold]

What weapon or character do you have that are upgraded?

[hot notch]

I think I meet the total 5* character cons

[outer scaffold]

[outer scaffold]

Nah, i don't think the m**s always check this channel, if they do, it's just to clean up those scam links

[hot notch]

Also I doubt they'd remove the role even if I didn't meet it anymore

[outer scaffold]

Who knows, there are m**s who are kinda serious about their job

[hot notch]

If they were going to that I think they'd require everyone who has it to renew it when they change the requirements

[outer scaffold]

I hope that this message doesn't actually summon them

Honestly haven't continued reading the manga since...||Kafka's suit synchronization (?)|| or smth

If the initial premise had continued about Kafka's job as a monster cleaner (while being a kaiju), maybe it would've kept my interest a bit more

[rancid ledge]

ayo guilty gear??

[high storm]

A new shonen jump manga starting like this? I smell axe

[ionic schooner]

why did they cut her head off

[high storm]

So it's a manga about ww1 veteran trying to drink booze during prohibition time in USA and just things happening alongside

That was a nice first chapter but I don't see it making far

Talking about not making far

Maybe the worst charisma in Choujin X yet

Yet another L in talking to girls for Tokio

Ooh a new jump plus manga huh, I haven't read the newer stuff recently

I think it's kinda adorable tbh

Also just remembered bronies is also a thing, so there's that

[tidal shore]

But I like the song and the vid on its own.

[high storm]

I have no idea what do you mean by all this masked fools spheal but sure

[edgy bone]

there's some really sneaky fanservice shots in here damn

also this is so heavily inspiried by frieren

[high storm]

I haven't watched this yet but ain't no shot 5 half naked girls relate to Frieren anyhow

[edgy bone]

i moreso meant the settings and the shots

there's a bunch of frieren refrences

[high storm]

Capitalising on success of something else, the usual

[outer scaffold]

Like i said on gtalk, fanservice will always be here, there are PEOPLE who defend it

[edgy bone]

im not against it

and like

kay yu directed this

he's literally known as the boob guy in animator circles

actual japanese studios hired him for anime just to draw a boob scene

[outer scaffold]

It's for @high storm

[high storm]

I never said it's a bad thing, I just don't respect that

Fanservice has to be non sexual for me to like it, which doesn't happen often

[outer scaffold]

Would furina's style of clothing be a fan service for you?

[high storm]

Like when in jojo part 5 opening Giorno does Dio pose? That's PURE fan service and I fucking loved it

[outer scaffold]

Because some people like fontaine's clothes

[high storm]

No? It's nothing extreme, I like her outfit very much

It doesn't look obscene and her character is very good, plan on rolling

[outer scaffold]

No, i meant, a fanservice that you like, not dislike, sorry for not making it clear

[high storm]

Well I am not a fan of french fashion so I can't really see where the fanservice is

[high storm]

In my mind it has to be something that appeals to the fans, like this ^

it's a character gag in a shonen you never get rid of those

[eternal wyvern]

Ooh didn't know they're making an anime adaptation for this

https://youtu.be/jLbaHNpjdsY?si=qmNPtibaWl-5VsO9

I've only read a few chapters for the manga adaptation years ago, so prolly gonna try watching if I remembered

[shadow knot]

the red haired girl in the thumbnail reminded me of like 20 different red haired anime girls

[mighty cape]

Look up:
Yona of the Dawn
Snow White and the Red Hair
The Ancient Magus Bride

[outer scaffold]

I'm not talking about the gag, i'm asking if he's over it or not

[outer scaffold]

More than his sister?!?!?! Who are the others?

[edgy bone]

do you care about spoilers

[outer scaffold]

I don't, but i want to watch the anime

[edgy bone]

this is a post timeskip spoiler the anim won't get there in a long time

||the mc and the girl get married and kave kids that become supporting characters in the timeskip and the brother's gag is extended to them too||

[high storm]

I don't know what manga you speak of by the name alone but out of context that sure sounds weird

[edgy bone]

yozakura

[high storm]

Yeah I never heard of it that's why it sounds weird

[edgy bone]

its in jump

[shadow knot]

ik yozakura quartet

but yzkr fam not that much

[outer scaffold]

||Does the mc and the brother now get along or they are still antagonizing each other but toned down or it's the same when the mc was still at high school?||

[edgy bone]

he has some respect for him but still doesnt like him "tainting" his sister

as i said it's a character gag

those never go away

[outer scaffold]

I wonder, what is the inspiration for this gag? Is it from a true story or is it from an old manga?

[edgy bone]

Isn't that just a recent meme?

I think this was the actual comment

Which is still super funny imo

[outer scaffold]

Personality... like he/she wouldn't even thought about it in the first place

[high storm]

Gege said he went to all boys school in one of author comments

Also judging by jjk he is not a big fan of women tbh 😭

[tidal shore]

Is that like

Her crush or something

[tidal shore]

why is it so over the top

[high storm]

"Le sugoi anime does that so we should too"

Can we have cartoons look like cartoons smh

I actually prefer the older softer darker tones of 2000's

[tidal shore]

nah that sucked

i prefer positive tones with depression

make it like

super high energy gay fantasy medieval european landscape

and then make the characters suffer

[high storm]

I just don't like overly bright things

As in visuals ofc

I am a very boring person regarding colours even wearing usually only black/grey/white and occasional red or yellow

[tidal shore]

crogn

try dressing like jacob collier for a day

[high storm]

These are not even my favourite colours

[high storm]

I would look like a fucking scarecrow

[tidal shore]

[high storm]

My favourite colour is god damn violet but it just does not look good on my fat ass dawg I swear 😭

[tidal shore]

yeah ur mssing that british potato look

probably

suirely

[high storm]

I dress up to university the same how I dress up to funerals

[tidal shore]

so by darker tones u meant

just more muted colours in general?

and not story related or anything

hmmmm

[mighty cape]

Pretty much. Jimmy, being one of Superman’s friends, tends to get roped into the trope of landing weird/unlucky love interests across several incarnations from time to time.

Tho this is prolly the first time I’ve personally seen Kara/Supergirl x Jimmy being teased

[mighty cape]

Honestly this is one where the character designers just did whatever they wanted with almost no direction, and their goal (as they explained it to me) was to cross Saul Goodman with Reigen Arataka. I really love the way this design works with @MaxMittelman's unhinged performance.

Yeah it’s in the tweet too

Last autobiographical manga I read was this one

It was really sweet, dorky, and heartwarming, esp by the end

Lmfao

Why news outlets feel like some regions need to have different approaches to the same thing? Just say smth smth censorship smth smth local laws

Good anime is good regardless of where you watch it smh

[tidal shore]

Japan starving for that oil money innit

[high storm]

Sudden Baki lmfao

Yuno miles has the funniest feats man I swear

[tidal shore]

yuno miles try not to create the worst lyrics in existence challenge

[high storm]

It's a masterpiece the same way Bocchi is a masterpiece

It's super fucking funny

https://open.spotify.com/track/6RyAmkJknlZ8eL0Pm4ZLFS?si=YDlQ8hUuSmmlF-3A04WK4Q

I am in tears how funny this is

[hot notch]

Yuno Miles made the best version of BBL Drizzy

[high storm]

Agreed

Him begging for 10k really resonated with me

[high storm]

Kindergarten wars please stay this goofy

[ionic schooner]

why wasnt my kindergarten like that smh

[high storm]

God all the "Yujiro in any other verse" comments are so fucking funny

And all of them are factually correct bro that's crazy 🤣

[tidal shore]

y'all having fanfic battle fantasies?

[high storm]

It's just memeing lol

Yujiro is a gag character who can do just about anything in the funniest silliest way and say shit like "Anyone could do this with enough training smh*

If Yujiro went into Dragonball verse he would find the dragon that makes wishes come true and force him to become his pet

How? It's Yujiro, he is just that guy

[tidal shore]

so

anos voldigoad

but different

[high storm]

Hyper masculine and violent version of whoever is your dude

Yujiro is just so over the top it's insane

Like one time when he was fighting a character who was taking different stances of various animals to gain advantage

Yujiro Hanma decided to take a stance of an animal too

Who you ask?

Strongest animal on earth, Yujiro Hanma

Imagine being so fucking HIM you take stance of YOURSELF

[tidal shore]

damn

but can he sharpen his blade by blocking a bullet?

oh it's Baki

he probably can

Baki do be over the top

[high storm]

Brother, he will make a bullet into a blade by parrying it

[tidal shore]

and then deflect back

[high storm]

He will do what Avdol did

[tidal shore]

why is it that

[junior vessel]

seen videos called "least insane baki scenes" and its genuinely the least insane ones

[tidal shore]

i find main characters to be less interesting on average than the side characters they interact with?

[junior vessel]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxr-qSiZshQ&ab_channel=SlartyMcGuarty

[tidal shore]

WHAT THE FUCK XDDDDDDDDD

what about body heat, he's gonna feel it

hold up, why am I here

[junior vessel]

nah nah he synced his breathing, so he wont notice the 2.5 metre man breathing down his neck

[junior vessel]

the caveman is like the omega devil ancestor og baki

origin of insane

[high storm]

His name is Pickle and he is 4 meters tall

Very nice konosuba episode this day

If he just tanked it anyway like a champ

His goddamn skull

[tidal shore]

lmaooooo

[high storm]

God I love Baki

[tidal shore]

honestly the worst part about pairing up fictional multiverse fights (say goku vs this guy), is that you can never be right, because the source material will always pull off some crazy shit just for the story to continue

[high storm]

Yujiro is a gag character bro I am telling you

Any serious suggestion of a battle is moronic

[tidal shore]

saitama vs yujiro

[tidal shore]

2 gags make a serious, simple maths

[high storm]

They prolly just won't fight lmao

That would be pretty in character

[tidal shore]

true

no clue about yujiro but true

[high storm]

Or Yujiro tries to swing at him, doesn't harm him, until he just suddenly one shots him because he learned a killer move from 128 year old Chinese sea king monk back during Vietnam war

[mighty cape]

https://youtu.be/vazrSoijLmA?si=RDn4Dxxz73rJOdep

If reinforced glass stands in his way

Yujiro will not open the door like a weak human

He’ll walk through it

[tidal shore]

then it turns out all he shattered was Saitama's clothes, because his power is proportional to the enemy he's facing

[high storm]

God I fucking love how goody every fighter entrance in that scene was

Fucking Doppo in dinosaur statue 🤣

[tidal shore]

this fucking face 💀

[ionic schooner]

if only yujiro was a mosquito

[high storm]

Unstoppable creature

[mighty cape]

Yujiro has many faces.

[high storm]

Yujiro takes the stance of a fucking malaria infested mosquito, one shots saitama

[ionic schooner]

😭

[tidal shore]

s

so

is there yujiro vs baki?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=48POqJsCC2M there is ok

[high storm]

Schizo on schizo

It was soooooo fucking funny

Loved the part when they imagined they food so hard everyone saw it

[tidal shore]

what 💀

[high storm]

So

Baki and Yujiro, with power of shadowboxing (imagination)

Cooked and shared a meal

Everyone saw it too

Or how Baki took the stance of 3 different dinosaurs and combined them into one? Yeah everyone saw that too

[tidal shore]

i know what shadowboxing is

[high storm]

I am not joking btw that's how fight ended

Yujiro with his iconic stance will always be funny to me since his ass is literally T-posing

[high storm]

Literally the scene from clip you sent earlier

Or like when Yujiro appeared before Baki telling him how to fuck his gf? Such a goofy goober

[tidal shore]

holdf on

gag character in baki?

aren't they all gag characters?

[high storm]

I do consider them so yes

But it's not widely regarded as such

There are semi consistent feats and fights within the story (for other characters)

Early Baki might even be regarded as almost realistic

(Like first 5 episodes or so)

Until Baki meets a 5 meter tall 200 year old Japanese demon gorilla (Yasha ape)

Also with all sue regard martial arts in Baki are oddly accurate, like kicks and chops DO make sense and are taken from irl

[ionic schooner]

didnt baki fight a mantis

[high storm]

Yeah

[ionic schooner]

in his mind

😭

[high storm]

With power of imagination

He even floated a bit during that fight

Ah the wonders of schizophrenia

But you can't tell me smth like Retsu Kaioh isn't just a "very tough karate dude"

Almost realistic if he didn't fight a fucking cavemen who was frozen in salt dropkicking a t-rex

Also our Mr. "4000 years of Chinese martial arts" is a cutie patootie and a tiny bit of a shy guy

https://youtu.be/TcwpUSuyObQ?si=X66gEGGVz7UIBZMD

@tidal shore check out this convincing disguise

[tidal shore]

didn't mention but

nvm

[edgy bone]

Bakis author has a reslly big respect for fighting and martial arts

If you analyze the manga you can see that all the muscles in the body line up to irl biology and all the moves have som irl connection

Its just pushed to an extreme

Supereyepatch wolf talked sbout it in a video if snyone3 is interested

[high storm]

I wish Dungeon meshi fanarts had more of this type of dumbass meme lmao

[craggy mango]

Most streamed spring anime in Japan (Abema & Nico Nico)

Ofc isekai would be on top

[edgy bone]

besides kimetsu is the top 5 all light novel isekais?

[craggy mango]

I know lv 2 isekai manga, i dont know if it has ln

[edgy bone]

originally a novel

[craggy mango]

I see

Ranger Reject at bottom 3 is pretty devastating

Even below The Fable

[edgy bone]

ok yea i checked theyre all novels

lmao

if anyone asks again why there's so many copy paste isekais lately show them this

[craggy mango]

True

[tidal shore]

wtf holo but white hair

[tidal shore]

yep, this happened

source: i read the digitally coloured manga

[edgy bone]

did you actually?

[tidal shore]

I did

[edgy bone]

oh wow

i dont remember you ever mentioning it

[tidal shore]

well

I was talking about how the anime drags on with 5 minute recaps and previews

[edgy bone]

i dont remember you talking about one piece at all ngl

[tidal shore]

and how pacing sucks

a

[edgy bone]

yea i think i was too focused on frieren to process it

[tidal shore]

xdd

[hybrid quiver]

[edgy bone]

what is a hannah day

[hybrid quiver]

hannah's birthday

[edgy bone]

oooo

[edgy bone]

what the actual fuck was that one piece chapter

the implications

[mighty cape]

Did the find two pieces

[edgy bone]

i mean

kinda actually?

depending on how you look at it

[high storm]

Was one piece actually all the friends they met along?

[edgy bone]

that was confirmed not true by the author like over a decade ago im really tired of people still saying that

[high storm]

Fuck if I care what author said

Never watched an episode/read a chapter

It just sounds funny still

[edgy bone]

it's just beating a dead horse

[high storm]

It's like when someone calls jojo bizarre

Classic

[hot notch]

7th prince isn't actually an isekai. They were reborn into the same world.

So the top isn't an isekai

Neither is An Archdemon's Dilemma on how to love your Elf Wife

So only 2 of the top 5 are isekai

[edgy bone]

at this point isekai is its own genre with tropes and stuff it's not just about another world

that's just a setting that's not really relevant anymore

it's like saying that anything that's aimed at kids is a shonen

that's not what people mean when they say shonen nowadays

[hot notch]

I mean the word for isekai quite literally means another world so I think it's important still.

[edgy bone]

chainsaw man is a shonen

shonen means for young boys

would you recommend chainsawman to a young boy

also that whole convo we had about lagann not really being a mecha

[tidal shore]

isekai is it's own genre

just like anime is a brand

just like shounen has it's own characteristics that could put it up there as a genre

[edgy bone]

also another thing

[tidal shore]

chainsawman is something we would say "it's not like the other kids"

[edgy bone]

a genre is supposed to give you a hint as to what type of story youre about to experience

and what youre gonna feel

if you wanna argue that isekai just means another world and nothing else then it doesnt make sense for it to be a genre

[tidal shore]

because it's very distinct from the typical shounen cliches and archetypes that are usually associated with a series classified as shounen

[edgy bone]

it doesnt tell you either of those things, it's just a setting

it's like saying "urban" anime

[tidal shore]

ok i kinda jumped the gun, lemme backread lol

@edgy bone i backread and he's making a good point

u failed me juca

😔

[edgy bone]

?

[tidal shore]

there's like isekai isekai and then there's fantasy slice of life

[edgy bone]

sure

but that's not what im talking about

[tidal shore]

they're pretty much the same

[edgy bone]

not really?

[tidal shore]

except for isekai the fact that mc is isekai'd gets brought up like every now and then

[edgy bone]

when i think of isekai i think of like sorta shoneny tropes but only on the surface level without any of the meat behind them and also pushed to a charicature extreme

[tidal shore]

I mean, u gotta have the isekai part to be an isekai, no?
but it's true that a lot of fantasy slice of life anime series exhibit the same traits as a typical isekai series

[edgy bone]

if you really wanna be pedantic about it

[tidal shore]

we could say something is like an isekai series because of this (in this case a fantasy sol series), but calling it an isekai wouldn't be entirely accurate either

[edgy bone]

it feels like a distinction without a meaning

if it puts me in the same headspace and makes me feel similar stuff i group it together in my head

[tidal shore]

well, the difference is, bro gets transported to another worl and gets pu##y, or bro gets born in another world as a native and gets pu##y, not much changes

[mighty cape]

This is misleading for a number of reasons tbh. And nuance comes into play too.
On one hand, yes, early CSM did run on weekly shonen jump before being moved to a different magazine under Shueisha as it was getting more ‘bold’ but magazine publication lines also have differing philosophies too with their selections. What you read in ‘average’ shonen jump manga =/= what you’ll find on shonen Sunday.

[edgy bone]

(also lets be real in most of these isekais the other world aspect is irrelevant it never comes up after the premise)

[edgy bone]

it's the same magazine

just online

[mighty cape]

*publisher

[edgy bone]

it's the same publisher

[mighty cape]

Y’all should check out Torture Princess tho

That’s like

[edgy bone]

shonen jump plus is just shonen jump series that they post on their site only cuz they dont want to have more than 20 series in the physical magazine

for w/e reason

(i assume the books are big enough)

[mighty cape]

The fastest title I forget is an isekai

[tidal shore]

i like to think of it more as there will always be outliers within any specific genre

[mighty cape]

The tone is just

VERY different overall

[tidal shore]

so we still acknowledge that a shounen series is not like other shounen

[edgy bone]

i tried torture princess and didnt vibe with it

[mighty cape]

As well as the focus

[edgy bone]

episodic comedies aren't really my thing for the most part

[mighty cape]

Which version?

[edgy bone]

the first few chapters when it first came out

back in like

2020 or w/e

[mighty cape]

Which version? Manga or Light novel?

[edgy bone]

manga

didnt know it had a novel

[mighty cape]

I read the LN, which it was based on

[edgy bone]

humu humu

[mighty cape]

The first book is a pretty centralized story on its own

But man… volume 2 was sth alright

Really should get back to it sometime

But it was a very memorable read

Also kudos to being like

That super rare ‘isekai’ light novel series where the MC ||isn’t in love or falls in love with the main title heroine||

You really don’t see that every day

[edgy bone]

i mean the mc is a girl

i'd be surprised if that happened lol

[mighty cape]

The protagonist is Kaito

[edgy bone]

idk who that is

i just remember the chapters being episodic gags about the torturer coming in to torture the princess but it's just some dumb kids game

[tidal shore]

is this a natural evolution of the girl dominates boy anime?

[mighty cape]

The dude that gets revived as the title heroine’s servant

[mighty cape]

Nah

[edgy bone]

i dont think i got that far

[mighty cape]

It’s surprisingly sympathetic

[tidal shore]

im looking at manga and she be like

"i will make you my butler even if it's against your will"

and he goes like

[edgy bone]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/'Tis_Time_for_"Torture,"_Princess

[tidal shore]

"nah"

[edgy bone]

we're talking about this correct?

[tidal shore]

and then at the end of the chapter hes like "please make me your butler"

[edgy bone]

just in case there's 2 series with similar names

[mighty cape]

Yeah that’s def not Torture Princess

[tidal shore]

what's this guy's deal

[mighty cape]

[edgy bone]

bro

[tidal shore]

it's called torture princess tho

wait nvm https://m.manganelo.com/manga-ze113750

FUUUUU

[mighty cape]

[edgy bone]

you mentioned torture princess in a conversation about jump manga

i was like

[mighty cape]

I SAID LIGHT NOVEL

[edgy bone]

there's only 1 torture princess manga in jump

you asked me about the manga

[mighty cape]

[tidal shore]

wait, that's the same

same designs

[edgy bone]

between what?

[tidal shore]

manga and novel

[mighty cape]

Wdym?

But yeah also helps that Torture Princess recently ended

Love that cover art…

[tidal shore]

first pic is the manga

why she wearing a bond#ge set???

[mighty cape]

Yeah the manga follows Saki Ukai’s designs from the light novel. But the manga only covers the first volume of the series.

[edgy bone]

where do i find myself a girl like that

[tidal shore]

ok so what I said IS torture princess

im sorry

🤔

[mighty cape]

Cuz she likes that. But she doesn’t carry herself like a hussy in attitude either, but very confident too. She’s…. A very troubled woman otherwise when you get deeper into the core of her character.

[tidal shore]

alright

seems interesting, I will check it out

if it has no substance I will have you answer to the committee of taste

[ionic schooner]

I LIKE IT TOO

[edgy bone]

ME THREE

[ionic schooner]

YAY

[edgy bone]

[mighty cape]

Go with the LN.

[ionic schooner]

[tidal shore]

nah im good

will check out manga first before jumping to novel

[mighty cape]

I haven’t read the manga adaptation so idk how much justice it gives it

[mighty cape]

Do as you will. Just remember that an adaptation is not necessarily/always a good representation of a work before you come to me unsatisfied.

/jk

/hj

[edgy bone]

that's how i feel about most adaptations honestly

[mighty cape]

Good

[edgy bone]

eps with something like manga or light novels where the writing is done almost entirely by 1 person

the original material can feel very personal at times

adaptations kinda muddy that

[mighty cape]

What you get out of a prose novel to other mediums are

vastly different at times

Occasionally liberties will need to be taken for certain things to make sense in certain formats

For better or worse

[edgy bone]

also speaking of adaptations

i have learned that

modern manga paneling was designed to imitate animated movies

which ig kinda explains why anime adaptations tend to work better than other kinds of adaptations (on average)

[tidal shore]

more often than not an adaptation is good enough, and sometimes the adaptation exceeds the source material (like in the case of Heavenly Delusion which cut out all the useless dialogue, or Land of the Lustrous which made it's own narrative fit into the time frame they were adapting)

[mighty cape]

At times yes. Others, not as fortunate.

i mean that's just your preference in terms of what you enjoy most

fact of the matter is it's still different from the source

[mighty cape]

Depending on how much the creator is involved with said adaptation, you’re still experiencing the story in totally different lens, yeah.

Some creators don’t put any input at all, which may lead to it differing further

But the point would still hold even if they did

[edgy bone]

anw

back to playing monster hunter

[tidal shore]

if most people enjoy the changes compared to the source, I think it's fair to say that the changes are better

[edgy bone]

we've talked about this before already you know what my stance is

[tidal shore]

u know my stance too

[mighty cape]

Lemme share you some art real of her quick before you do

[tidal shore]

this is not strictly true tho, many cult classics were not as beloved in their time as they are now, sometimes even performed very poorly

so it's a bit more nuanced than that

anyway not gonna drag this on more than it needs to

[tidal shore]

looks epic
would u buy the 2nd pic if it was a 3D figurine?

[mighty cape]

Nah no space for that lol.

[tidal shore]

u mean ur poor or u have too much merchendise?

[mighty cape]

Hina tho…

[mighty cape]

My space ain’t worthy of her (but I’d also rather but other kinds of things too tbh)

[edgy bone]

is this like

novel art or?

cuz it looks too intricate

[mighty cape]

Some of it is

Like this last two

[edgy bone]

what's the 2nd picture from

[tidal shore]

fair

[mighty cape]

Others is sourced from elsewhere like the artist’s official account

[edgy bone]

the shading looks very intriquate

ooo

I was about to say it reminds me of twitter ai art a lil bit

[tidal shore]

gotta say the 3rd pic looks like something I'd make (but better)

[edgy bone]

i mean i dont really mind either way

[tidal shore]

u can see it by the linework

[edgy bone]

i like how it looks

[mighty cape]

Nah. When you look at it in better resolution the human touch becomes even more apparent.

[tidal shore]

AI just looks too smooth

[mighty cape]

Yeah it’s like…

AI tends to look very shiny

With sheens and stuff

[tidal shore]

that's old news

[mighty cape]

Actually yeah

Ur right

Nowadays

[tidal shore]

they've gotten a little more clever

[mighty cape]

More AI looks like it’s adopting a ‘pastel’ kinda look
