[rancid ledge]

so i wonder if spirit chronicles is good

[next crescent]

Okay

[rancid ledge]

i heard devils a part timer and overlord are peak

i should rewatch konosuba

[shadow knot]

I Was Reincarnated As The Son Of An Idol And I Try To Make It Into Showbiz: The Series

[rancid ledge]

do yall like akane or kana?

[next crescent]

I like both for different reasons

[long peak]

Unfortunately devils a part timer is ruined by the ending (and the back half of the series)

[hot notch]

In the manga I'm a Kana all the way. I'm ngl though the anime is getting me to Akane's side a little.

[shadow knot]

series is clearly shilling kana at the end of the day but I like akane more

[dusty fable]

@topaz linden @shadow knot @tidal shore @long peak hey, can you list your top 5 manhwa (this specific type of comic book)

[shadow knot]

I do not read manhwa

[long peak]

Uh

Korean or Chinese

[shadow knot]

if it’s chinese then its manhua

unless

[long peak]

Oh true

[dusty fable]

Top 5 overall

[long peak]

I mean I've only read 2

Solo leveling is a manhwa

But the two I've read are Leviathan and Hero Killer (both are fantastic)

[dusty fable]

I guess Chinese is fine too, I was skeptical of it before, but there are gems

[long peak]

Why would you be skeptical of Chinese manhua

[dusty fable]

Yeah, Leviathan is pog

[long peak]

It's essentially a similar style

[dusty fable]

Well, mostly because I never found a good Chinese comic before. I did find one very recently

[next crescent]

YOU READ HERO KILLER TOO

[dusty fable]

I am surprised you didn't name Link Click

[topaz linden]

Getting a good translation into English for Chinese is much rarer/harder than Korean from my understanding

Has also been my experience between the two (Korean manwhas being generally at least decently translated, Chinese ones only very rarely getting a good translation)

[dusty fable]

Also Chinese idioms are harder to translate, it seems

[topaz linden]

and at least from what I've heard, all of them (especially the fantasy-esque ones) are overloaded with idioms

So without a translator willing to localize, you end up with either a ton of TL notes, or unreadable mess

or both

but yeh, finally home, lemme get that list typed up

[dusty fable]

Yeah. Also humor is often idiomatic, so a bad translation = no humor

[dusty fable]

It's good if there are even TL notes. Meaning that at least someone can interpret somewhat

[topaz linden]

Personal top 5:

1. A Stepmother's Marchen [Ongoing] - obvious don't think I need to explain this one to ya
2. ReLIFE [Complete] - Technically Japanese in origin, but done in Manwha style. Really nice "2nd chance at life" story that somehow (can't clarify without spoiling big bits of the main story) manages to get around the age gap issue of regression stories
3. Regressor Instruction Manual [Ongoing] - TL;DR: Humanity gets brought to a death world and are given random abilities. MC gets an eye that sees hidden traits. Finds out another character is a regressor. Decides his best chance at survival is latching on to the dude and riding his coattails to survival. Really smart MC + some unexpected plot twists along the way.
4. SSS-Class Revival Hunter [Ongoing] - Actual name is a banned word TL;DR: Dude has a Re:Zero -esque Return by Death feature, but unlike Re:Zero's MC, he's not afraid to actually use it. Unexpectedly heavy with the feels and really well done world-building/character development.
5. Afterschool War Activities [Complete] - Full Metal Jacket meets Starship Troopers meets post-war documentary. A dark, grounded take on a group of high schoolers drafted into the army in a (totally not a metaphor for NK) alien invasion.

[dusty fable]

ReLife has anime, right?

[topaz linden]

yee

haven't watched it, but iirc it's a full adaption?

[dusty fable]

Well, it's good, so probably

[dusty fable]

Ok, thanks. It more or less aligns with what I think/expect to be good, so I guess I don't need to search for stuff to read

[craggy mango]

The anime didnt cover half of the story and somehow they finished the story by some OVA episodes.

Better stick with the webtoon

[dusty fable]

I guessed so, thanks for confirmation

[tidal shore]

there's not enough good manhwa to even make a top 5 for me 😭

The Greatest Estate Developer is a comedy I vibe with a lot

uhhh the rest of what I read is mostly battle manhwa so there's not much to expect

I found Returner's Magic to be somewhat interesting

Return of the Mount Hua Sect is also part comedy, which I vibe with
there are some plot points about being a good teacher and regrets from past life which I found to be nice

[mighty cape]

You’re not reading the Breaker I assume?

[tidal shore]

nope

[undone marten]

Yeah this was what I was looking for

Welp

Maybe after I finish reading hxh

[undone marten]

Mf got mogged

Togashi really is a great artist

He's just lazy

[mighty cape]

(Well, he’s chronically ill so)

[undone marten]

I thought he only had back problems

[mighty cape]

He does.

Chronic spine issues and pain.
Sitting drawing manga for too long is hell.

[undone marten]

I know he's stubborn cause if he wasn't he would've just let his apprentices draw the art while he works on the story

[mighty cape]

He certainly is, but it’s his work by the end of the day.
Regardless of how many assistants he’s got or not. Just look at Berserk’s Miura and his staff of assistants , and he still didn’t manage to live to see his work fully through.

But what matters more is what Togashi plans to do so long as he’s not putting his own health or wellbeing at risk. And I’d say that much is at least warranted some respect towrads Togashi as a person.

[undone marten]

Finished 401

Damn

[dusty fable]

Tbh, manga publishers need to step up and promote regular health check ups and screenings for their authors. And have personal health on the agenda for editors who need to look out for manga authors. The industry is too taxing and they shouldn't be wasting great authors

[undone marten]

Tbf it's also the author's responsibility to care for their health

But I agree

1 chapter per week is fucking insane

[dusty fable]

It's not how individual psychology works unfortunately. Ppl need outside influence for stuff their mind tend to avoid. There are plenty of established practices how to motivate ppl to follow a healthy routine. Giving away free health check ups, gym or pool monthly access for starters. Ppl love free stuff, especially if they find it beneficial (for that you need to promote it beforehand).

Even better, make those not free, but a small prize for winning a company inner lottery or unofficial contest. Ppl are more likely to use their winnings if they expire and not let them go to waste

Anyone else having trouble getting the video player to work on 9anime?

For the last two days it sits with a generic blurry bg without loading until it gives me a crash notice

I tried gogoanime for the first time in like a decade but goddamn there are so many fucking ads on that site that it won't function

[rancid ledge]

legendary defenders?

also glitter force is just dubs

theres also pretty cure

[ionic schooner]

Won't adblockefs save u

[next crescent]

Not on mobile

Or well

I think someone told me a while back I could download one somehow on another browser or something but I don't want to go through the effort

[topaz linden]

there's mobile adblockers too

[next crescent]

That and it wasn't working on PC either which has adblock

[topaz linden]

on android it's basically 0 effort

[next crescent]

I mean, I have an ad blocker on my mobile, but gogoanime has the stupid fucking ads that open a new tab

So even though it blocks them when they try to load, it still opens the tab and switches

[topaz linden]

those should be blocked if you have ublock origin running...

[next crescent]

It's not ublock

[topaz linden]

...but why

[next crescent]

It's whatever it automatically on here

[topaz linden]

💀

[next crescent]

It will give me a pop up on top telling me it blocked an ad when I use sites

And it does fine with 9anime

But gogoanime

I think it ended up opening like 20 tabs before I gave up trying to watch anything

[topaz linden]

or go with a proper adblocker and just... don't deal with that?

[next crescent]

This still doesn't solve my issue though

Adblock or not, 9anime ain't working

[topaz linden]

it would let you use literally any of the other alternatives?

[next crescent]

I use gogoanime as a last resort because it usually buffers a lot for me

What other sites are there

[topaz linden]

so so many

[next crescent]

KissAnime either got taken down or changed again right

[topaz linden]

https://theindex.moe/library/anime pick your poison

[next crescent]

I tried nyaa.si like someone mentioned before but I refuse to download episodes

Thank you 😭

Okay anicrush seems close to 9anime, their search system just sucks ass

Oshi no ko is under the English name "my star" and typing in either one doesn't show the result

But found it at least on a different page

[next crescent]

Oh my god the way they animated the kizami scene

From the fluidity of the movement of that awesome fucking sword kick all the way to the abstract build up through his frustrations was so goddamn GOOD

[tidal shore]

didn't it die?

like a few weeks ago

[tidal shore]

no adblocker 😭

[next crescent]

No, they switched from 9anime to aniwave, then aniwave got found and dumped, so they switched back to 9anime but 9animetv

Essentially just a rebrand to hide from a take down then got taken down while rebranded and quietly went back to their previous brand

The site itself works fine, it's the video player that's acting up lol

Also, S2E9 of oshi no ko drops such a massive fucking bomb, I am so glad I'm not watching it weekly

I would've fucking cried waiting for the next episode to come out already

[tidal shore]

h om

oh ok

I kinda started using hianime instead and it was a bit odd xd

[next crescent]

Ah rip

From the site Jake sent, I just picked the first one and it's almost an exact copy to 9anime so it's been great lol

[ionic schooner]

I haven't even watched S2 is it hype

[rancid ledge]

tokyo ghoul on the manga is so fucking peak

[next crescent]

Very much so

[next crescent]

Goddamn those last three episodes to s2

Especially the end to the final episode

He's still at it

[next crescent]

And episode 3 to uzumaki was uh... Something

I have no words, honestly

[long peak]

as in, bad?

[next crescent]

I... I don't know?

Just a lot

Like 3-4 different plots in succession

The last few seconds to last one being... Like

Like comical for a quick second for the sound effect used, and then straight back to "wait this is actually horrifying but WHY"

I just don't know what to think of it

Like the first half was like the other episodes where it's a main plot bit but then once it's done it just quickly descends into shorter and shorter mini plots

And then the last bit of the last one was just... Why did it happen and where the fuck did he come from

Completely disconnected from the theme of the other parts of the episode

And out of left field

[long peak]

Good question

[hot notch]

Unironically peak

Also this is the season of sequels it seems

So many shows I didn't know were getting sequels at the same time

Seirei Gensouki, Shangri-La Frontier, Arifureta, Reincarnated Aristocrat, Demon Lord Retry, SAOA: GGO, DanMachi (second half is gonna be peak), Re;Zero, and MF Ghost.

There's even more too

Tower of God S2 is still going

Blue Exorcist, Bleach, and Fairy Tail

7DS (why)

Oh yea Blue Lock S2 but I've heard that's going poorly

Great season for sequels

[topaz linden]

And still no Bocchi S2 😔

[craggy mango]

Fr fr 😔

[craggy mango]

Some new anime are pretty good too

Like Dandadan, Chi Chikyuu, and bunch of romance series

[next crescent]

Yeah, blue exorcist is probably the biggest shock to me

I thought it ended like a decade ago

And gotta check out fairy tail's new season, that show was my jam when I was younger

[mighty cape]

Have you watched Girls Band Cry

[topaz linden]

Watched a few episodes while it was airing, really liked it. Still need to go back and finish it tho

[mighty cape]

Goob

[tidal shore]

IT'S STILL GOING???

[next crescent]

Yeah apparently

Their s2 is rn

Or it's not really a s2 but it feels like it with how long it's been
https://myanimelist.net/anime/53889/Ao_no_Exorcist__Shimane_Illuminati-hen

[craggy mango]

Another misery for Okarin, cant wait

The current arc is basically an endgame on top of another endgame rn lol

They were ||just fighting Satan||

[next crescent]

Ah okay

[somber bison]

remaster of the vn maybe?

[mighty cape]

ugh

[next crescent]

Onto the newest season of bnha and the first couple of episodes are meh but it seems to be ramping up by episode 6

[dusty fable]

There was already a remaster...

[mighty cape]

(And it wasn’t a good one either)

I swear Chiyomaru himself is such a meme

S;G Elite
Cuts content
Chaos;Child
Xbox 360 exclusive and nearly sinks the company
Occultic;Nine
LN Series
Anime started as LNs ongoing, Anime passes up LNs
VN adaptation is just a recap of the anime
VN announced, development for almost a decade, cancelled
Anonymous;Code, supposed to be Endgame of Sci;Adv
In dev for almost a decade, comes out and has nothing that was teased, 12 hours and by far the most expensive Sci;Adv game to purchase (60 USD)
Flops

[dusty fable]

Chaos Child game was good btw

It nailed Murder mystery theme pretty well, which Chaos Head couldn't quite

[mighty cape]

It’s one of those unfortunate cases where you wish its quality matched its success, or rather, had folks actually not flopping in marketing the darn thing

🗿

xbox exclusive in JAPAN

[dusty fable]

I doubt marketing would have helped. Both Chaos Head and Chaos Child were Weirdge af, borderline mental. But the story and murders were interesting enough to make it a good series of games

[mighty cape]

It’s always important.

As well as accessibility.

[dusty fable]

@topaz linden Started reading Regressor Manual, it's quite interesting and funny. I like how MC is starting to acquire a rather crooked "harem". Also I really hope that the Regressor is not what he appears to be

[topaz linden]

Minor spoiler about that first bit: ||He actually gets the ability to see special 'hidden abilities/traits' later on at one point, and his is literally "Attracts dangerous women"||

[dusty fable]

Honestly, the comedy in this manhwa is top notch. I haven't laughed this much in a long time

I wonder if this bodes well... FMA chimera reference...

[topaz linden]

My biggest praise for the writing personally is that the dude's written smart but like... not unrealistically so.

He's not some "I'm 4 parallel universes ahead of you" super prophet that can foresee every possibility that could happen, he's just a sly guy that stops to think before he acts and is quick witted af when it comes to improv

The MC summarized in a single panel:

[rough meadow]

https://tenor.com/view/vegeta-tantrum-dbz-abridged-crying-gif-12648567

[dusty fable]

Well, some things he is very conviniently oblivious of. Like, for example, if he himself is or isn't in the regressors memory. Because if he is, then Regressor already knows about his shenanigans. And if he is not, that means he didn't survive and he should be asking himself how to know more about those circumstances. That's like the second thing he should have thought of

[dusty fable]

Ok, I'll admit, I totally expected her to have only these overalls and nothing beneath (ofc properly hidden by a nightgown, but revealing nonetheless). I was disappointed to say the least

[mighty cape]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qvHk-lI66EQ

ok wow

I'm gonna check this out over the weekend

this looks

STUNNING

[dusty fable]

Btw, I said that not knowing about Cha Heera. || I would say his harem is not even crooked anymore. It's inlaid with women-shaped cursed Lego pieces to accidentally step on and horribly die ||

[dusty fable]

Yeah. Dot painting. That's a freaking hellish style. Especially in manga. You don't even have pressure or length of strokes at your disposal. Just the dispersion of dots to cover the whole variety of shades and textures

[next crescent]

those are from the manga? i thought it was an anime

especially with that first image

[mighty cape]

they are from the anime, all the screenshots are.

[next crescent]

JESUS

[undone marten]

Jagaaaaan is certainly an experience

Great art

Wtf kinda plot

Can't remember most of the characters

Robahata is a fucking menace

[tidal shore]

ooooohhhh kenny lauderdale my goat

[tidal shore]

I fucking love this man

I am not even a mecha guy but I love this

[undone marten]

Maybe the guys who did Crybaby can animate jagaaaaaan

It'll prolly get cancelled though

[shadow knot]

was fun for the first 100 chapters

[undone marten]

I won't sit here and pretend it's not fun but it's certainly weird

[shadow knot]

fosho

[craggy mango]

So many people angry with Sono Bisque Doll live action

Because somehow they decided to nerf all of its fan service

[tidal shore]

why don't you back that up with a source, senator

genuinely tho I'm curious

[craggy mango]

I watch it in bilibili.tv and idk if its available outside of my country

But just an example case: remember the famous Marin underwear/bikini scene? ||The actress wore normal clothes instead||

[tidal shore]

I can access bilibili easy

[craggy mango]

Anyway, i thought this is live action of Mob Psycho op
https://youtu.be/tRwHpyOq4P4

[tidal shore]

this song still stuck in my head

wait a sec

this is so cyriak-core

wtf

cyriak too grotesque to send here

so I'll compare with this instead https://youtu.be/TdwT5JlH8gM?si=qHC3nNBBFbvuKeBD&t=103

[timestamp]

[craggy mango]

A bit different but feels more creepy

[craggy mango]

Try this keyword: Sono Bisque Doll wa Koi wo Suru (2024) Live Action

There are 2 episodes so far

In my bilibili there is only my language sub

[tidal shore]

WTF there are full episodes on bilibili

it's like youtube in 2008

[craggy mango]

Yee

Its basically chinese youtube

Wait i just found the eng sub version in dailymotion lmao

[tidal shore]

I don't see anyone whining about no fanservice so far

[tidal shore]

yeah that one is pretty much unmoderated

dailymotion is to youtube what bing is to google

[tidal shore]

WTF EP 2

okay I think I am not going to be a live action kind of guy

such a different experience compared to the anime

[craggy mango]

Ikr

Fan service is whats makes this series famous

But somehow they ruined it

[undone marten]

Peak mentioned

I thought it was two guys performing

Turns out it's just one guy

Range is insane

[tidal shore]

I was thinking more about the lack of music and different pacing and the no exaggerated anything

[craggy mango]

R-Shitei is amazing singer indeed

You should watch their live performance icymi
https://youtu.be/H6FUBWGSOIc

[dusty fable]

@topaz linden this totally should have been MC's title. And disposition. And his name too. Lmao

[dusty fable]

Oh no, ||MC really got it bad in the first cycle. Lmao, now I wonder if he himself wrote all the descriptions and titles in the popups, to manipulate his past self into world domination||

[dusty fable]

||Well, this was indeed a convenient omission. Would be revealing too early, if MC properly thought about that. I guess the fact that MC didn't think of it was revealing anyway||

[topaz linden]

Yee, thats why I didnt respond to it earlier lol

Couldnt think of a response that didnt hint or imply it would be important later

https://youtu.be/rgx_xBLz6fg

[dusty fable]

||Tbh, I expected that Regressor actually knows him from the past and keeps him closest of all as his archenemy. I became super suspicious, after regressors reaction to Warlock's profession being mentioned and regressor being bent on giving MC the least combat-able profession of all. Then seeing how Regressor disposed of the Murderer Cult leader made me think like surely this is a foreshadow of what comes for MC. Regressor just bides his time to find all MCs contacts and dispose of them in convenient manner. That's why I thought that Regressor is not really the person painted so far. But damn, the author really doubles down on Regressor being quite naive. So it looks like Regressor does have more depth than is shown, but not as much depth as I hoped. At least, it is clear why he didn't know about the priestess, because she was corrupted in the 1 cycle too||

And likely all the harem as well, that's why ||Che Heera was missing in the 1st cycle||

[topaz linden]

Been a while since I read it (stopped somewhere in S3), but ||iirc, the regressor never actually learned the MC's identity in the original timeline, only key traits (like special class and whatnot). So while has his suspicions, especially as the new timeline goes longer and longer with no Masked Man, he can't confirm or deny for sure that the MC was him, and the MC does a decent job (for unrelated reasons) of keeping his true nature a secret from the Regressor||

[dusty fable]

Well, that's a bit sad, I really hoped that in the end it will come down to Regressor outwitting ||MC||. What really interests me, if ||MCs harem was corrupted in the Cycle 1 too|| how come Regressor knew MCs soulmate and even put her in charge when he was clueless about others. Tbh, this is also very telling, considering that she looks almost like a background character, but she is not

[topaz linden]

Are you talking about ||Hayan (the mage girl who's all yandere for the MC)||? (Trying to remember which character that is)

[tidal shore]

average #・anime discussion

[topaz linden]

As someone that actively shills this series to others, I dont want to spoil it for them

[tidal shore]

which series is it again?

[topaz linden]

Regressor Instruction Manual

[tidal shore]

ohhh

oh ok

back to fifa

[dusty fable]

No, ||Hayan was corrupted by MC in the 1st cycle too||, I was talking about the politician girl who managed the first camp, who is MCs Soulmate according to description

[topaz linden]

Ah, not sure I remember them

Just checked, was ~25 chapters away from the end of S3...

Might be good for me to reread from the beginning again

[dusty fable]

Well, that's the point. She looks even like a non important person. Very sus lol. Let me find her image

[ionic schooner]

the day after a new genshin patch releases

[tidal shore]

oh yeah there's that too

ok i read the synopsis for Regression Instructor Manual

sounds like another anti-hero MC with sociopathic tendencies Idk if I want to get into it

[topaz linden]

Not really an anti-"hero" lol

[ionic schooner]

imagine a deadpool anime

cuz

ik that one squad got an anime

so

why not deadpool

give him random goofy superpowers too

like whenever he wants

[tidal shore]

fair enough

[ionic schooner]

cause hes goofy

[tidal shore]

death

[ionic schooner]

the anti isekai cuz he cant die

[tidal shore]

it wouldn't be good unless written and done by Studio Trigger

[topaz linden]

I made a TL;DR for it here
#・anime message

[ionic schooner]

you do have to explain this what is a marchen

wait

STARSHIP TROOPERS

HELLDIVERS OMG

[tidal shore]

glad you mentioned ReLIFE

[topaz linden]

German for "Folktale"/"Fairy tale"

[tidal shore]

the ReLIFE mention is epic

u have my eternal respect

[dusty fable]

This one

[ionic schooner]

whos life

and why is it re

[ionic schooner]

WTF GUATT

SHE CAN DO WHATEVER SHES DOING THERE TO ME

!!!

[tidal shore]

sugoi dekai

[topaz linden]

Oh yeh, her

Ngl, I remember her vanishing after the first arc and only just reappearing super late in the story

[dusty fable]

Not super late, ||she just appeared as a Black Swan vice right before the first masked guy memory||, but it's interesting Regressor put her in charge, meaning he possibly had a memory of her, unlike ||about other MCs confidants||

So her being MCs Soulmate as well as looking completely unremarkable compared to others certainly makes for a trope, but I wouldn't be surprised that she would be an opposite of that trope, as ||a traitor on the side of forces of light||

[topaz linden]

Or just an opportunistic scumbag like the MC, riding the coattails of the main force in the og timeline

she does have a lot of those same traits lol

[dusty fable]

Nah, the author is hiding her from the story. Like there was no reason for MC not to hire her except plot requiring her to be in the background

[topaz linden]

I'd be curious if it's another ||Hayan|| type case, where they ||played the long game in the OG timeline, except unlike Hayan they never had to give up the deception/give up||

[dusty fable]

Well, she is definitely playing the long game. And many things point to her being a pivotal figure

[topaz linden]

Yee, + ||being a soulmate kinda locks her in as endgame relevant lol||

Just a neat game of figuring out how much each side knows about the other 👀

[dusty fable]

This specific thing and the fact that Regressor put her in charge immediately, makes me think that the author wants to subvert the expectations and make her the force of good in the end

[topaz linden]

Which tbf, doesnt neccesarily make them opposed to the MC/mess with the ||soulmate|| thing. The MC's not "evil" imo, just greedy/opportunistic. If it's more rewarding to be "good", he has no issues teaming up with em

[dusty fable]

Well, it would be even more fun, if there was another Regressor. I hope the circumstances of his return in time will be rather soon, so I can speculate on whether there is another Regressor or not, besides him

[dusty fable]

Well, you see, the very first system message to him set him on the certain path ||in both cycles||. So he ||might not be evil||, but whoever writes those descriptions might be

[dusty fable]

And we'll, let's not ignore the fact that MC ||already corrupted his harem|| in the 2nd cycle. Especially what he did ||to Hayan and priestess||. Like that was pretty bad and goes beyond just manipulative scheming. And again, it looks like the system goaded him into that too

[wide horizon]

How's bluebox? On the romance side of thing

[craggy mango]

There is ||triangle love|| drama but still very sweet

Also both mc and fmc are very inexperienced in romance

[wide horizon]

So I started reading and watching

Reina Ueda was a good choice for chinatsu

[novel harness]

anyone here whatch horimaya

[topaz linden]

Haven't watched the newest season, but watched the first one when it aired

Pretty nice

[novel harness]

theres a season 2

[topaz linden]

Sort of anthology/episodic stories bit they aired a year or two later

Cause the first season kinda just speedran to the ending and skipped a lot

Better change the title to "The End Before The Beginning"

[tidal shore]

oh wow

fun fact: this is the author's first ever web novel

another fun fact: it got a webtoon adaptation which improved it and did some rewriting, but was then dropped

another another fun fact: this is the next thing people will yap about (probably) because it's kind of fresh (taking inspiration from wuxia novels)

personally though I think once the novelty factor wears off u start seeing just how aimless the story feels in this

which is a bit of a shame cuz every time it started getting good you'd have a complete switch up

oh it's A-Cat doing the adaptation

yeah it's joever

[topaz linden]

been around for a while tho, no? think the manwha's been going on for 6 something years now

[tidal shore]

like I said, the author dropped the webtoon adaptation

unless something changed in the past year

and yeah it's kind of talked about in the manhwa community, but anime is going to give it like 100x more exposure

[topaz linden]

it wasn't the author, it was the artist

author's still continuing the story last I checked

at least, he was when I chatted with him last summer

(He's apparently a local in my city )

[tidal shore]

oh ok!

my bad then

[tidal shore]

WTF that's sick!

[topaz linden]

funny story about that encounter actually

so it was at a convention, but he wasn't there as an "official" guest

He just kinda decided to just... show up and chill at the Bookwalker booth?

Literally was walking around the convention floor, tried to cut through the Bookwalker booth, and bumped into him

Super chill guy

[craggy mango]

Damn you're so lucky

[topaz linden]

Took me a min, found the pic Dude was like "hey, we got a book version now. You buy one, I'll sign it"

Dude wasn't at a booth or panel or anything, just sitting at a chair/counter setup off to the side of the booth. No sign or anything

(he did pop in at a Bookwalker panel earlier that day tho (that's how I recognized them), but wasn't listed anywhere on the convention schedule)

[tidal shore]

damn

nice

[next crescent]

Oh that dude

[craggy mango]

[dusty fable]

Damn, I always knew he had an oval face. And look at that red. Probably Irish

[topaz linden]

Yes, a tall skinny white dude. Shocking, I know

[next crescent]

who would have ever thunk it

[shadow knot]

jake got the biggest feet

[topaz linden]

I get that a lot

Size 15 US Mens

(49-50ish in EU shoe size)

[shadow knot]

me with my 9s

[topaz linden]

My mom likes to joke if they get any bigger, my shoes are gonna start coming in seperate boxes

[dusty fable]

And your feet are going to have to live in separate rooms?

[frank musk]

15?!?!?!

[topaz linden]

As long as a 2 liter of soda, yeah

[ionic schooner]

no offense but

bigfoot!!!

/j

[next crescent]

i'm surprised she didn't say anything about buying you clown shoes at that point

[topaz linden]

Fr tho

[topaz linden]

Think there was a comment or two along those lines the last time I went shopping for boots lol

[ionic schooner]

WTF

LIKE

BRO

😭

[next crescent]

oh my god you actually have a picture on hand

[next crescent]

oh okay, nevermind then

[tidal shore]

it's a 1 liter bottle ye?

[dusty fable]

Jake visits Canada once, and they will search for a Bigfoot who left the footprints for the next 10 years

[dusty fable]

Don't laugh at him. He knows only imperial system. The savage

[next crescent]

2L

our 1L bottles over here are skinnier

at least, this is the general shape we sell for 1L bottles at my store lol

[dusty fable]

Can you hold it in one hand? This shape doesn't seem comfortable for that

[next crescent]

?

yes?

just as you can hold a 2L in one hand

here, an image i found on google

this one specifically in the glass bottle i guess

[dusty fable]

Not this way. Holding it in the middle to drink from it

[next crescent]

depends on how big your hand is.

here's someone holding one in a different way

[dusty fable]

Well, that's the point. The EU bottles can be held even by rather small hands (like middle schooler)

[topaz linden]

The US uses 2 liter bottles primarily (those and the smaller hand sized ones)

[ionic schooner]

i was thinking of AMERIC

[next crescent]

ye

[ionic schooner]

AMERICA

BIG

BOTTLES

[next crescent]

no?

[dusty fable]

Yeah, but this is slightly different shape

[next crescent]

why would 1L in america be bigger than 1L in europe? it's 1L

[ionic schooner]

cuz its america

[next crescent]

that's why i said they're skinnier lol

the 2L ones have a different shape, like in jake's pic

[ionic schooner]

[next crescent]

also why would it make a difference if you could hold it like a smaller, single serving bottle when we were comparing it to jake's shoe size?

[next crescent]

then i would've said 36oz

[next crescent]

33oz*

i was off by a few

[topaz linden]

Imperial issue

[dusty fable]

Well, it's tangential a bit, I just like to use 1L bottles to put in bike's bottle holder and the shape matters there. Plus, you can drink 1L bottles on the go, though generally I wouldn't do that on a public road (I ride offroad)

[next crescent]

a bit? lol

it still has nothing to do with jake's shoe

i think we go off on tangents a lot

[dusty fable]

Well, I was talking about the bottles shape

[next crescent]

fair

[tidal shore]

damn.

my foot is like half the size of a 2L one

I have one with me rn for comparison

although I'm a Pepsi guy cuz it's superior

[next crescent]

idk how my foot compares to a bottle

i don't have any 2L on me

[craggy mango]

Author of The Beginning After The End a month ago said

Ofc he fucking knew it

Apparently tbate has their own official (?) discord for its fans

[topaz linden]

...ngl, honestly not surprised they're on fucking Discord

That scene at the end

God damn it

[long peak]

Kc i know what show would make you happy

[tidal shore]

do not watch "86"

also definitely do not watch Heavenly Delusions

[next crescent]

[next crescent]

[long peak]

No

[next crescent]

I already watched season one of 86 like a year ago

[long peak]

Violet Evergarden!

[next crescent]

I think I watched half of season 2 then dropped it

[tidal shore]

oof

[next crescent]

Watched that too

[long peak]

Kidding

[tidal shore]

why did you drop?

[long peak]

You should actually watch mashle

[next crescent]

I thought it was boring

[tidal shore]

damn

unfortunate

[next crescent]

Mashle looks fun

[long peak]

Mashle is peak

[tidal shore]

I dropped S1 cuz it was too stressful (86)

[next crescent]

But I'm currently trying to get through my immediate watchlist lol

[long peak]

Did you watch link click yet

[next crescent]

I have like 80 shows on here I might as well binge

Then I'll move on

[next crescent]

No

[long peak]

[next crescent]

That's on the other list

With 200+ shows

[long peak]

[tidal shore]

have you watched Hotarubi no Mori e?

it's only 40 mins

[long peak]

You're killing me boss

[next crescent]

Yes

[tidal shore]

oh ok

[next crescent]

I liked that one

[tidal shore]

it was nice

[next crescent]

I watched it with someone and almost cried

[tidal shore]

Ikr

[next crescent]

But the ending was good enough to make them bittersweet tears

[tidal shore]

yeee

have you watched Land of the Lustrous?

[next crescent]

That's on the list

[tidal shore]

oh ok

good luck

kojima 😹

[dusty fable]

True chads watch Barefoot Gen and nothing else, because nothing else is required

That's basically Hotarubi no Mori e Evolved (if I remember correctly what's The Forest of fireflies is about)

Ah damn, no

I always confuse these two shows

Grave of Fireflies

And Forest of Fireflies

[tidal shore]

brah

[dusty fable]

Don't ask me, they have similar name, both drama and I watched them roughly at the same time 14 years ago. They almost fused in one show in my mind. I could tell a story about a girl killed in Tokyo bombings whos spirit joined the forest spirits in the last celebration before it all went up in fires

[hot notch]

So all the mech and scenery stuff in this is amazing. All the actual stuff to with the humans looks like shit.

interesting choice for an animation

this is almost like cardboard cutouts the anime

[next crescent]

I think that's the only time they've done that for the episodes

Everything else has been super fluid or a mix of cgi and 2d

Hmm, I remember there was an anime with similar artstyle about a music boys band of statues or their heads.

This one https://myanimelist.net/anime/31540/Sekkou_Boys

I mean... The myth of Pygmalion and his statue he loved

[next crescent]

Idk why this five second scene is so funny to me

He kinda looks like gigachad

[novel harness]

you see the side bar its the sign of a failure

[next crescent]

Funny face

He went goblin mode

Also fucking hell this season is actually wicked good with the animation and story beats

Was kind of worth the slog of the middle 4 seasons

according to a friend of mine this is actually a very hard call lmao

ofc the vast majority of DBverse would laught at Homelander, but when it comes to how the kids are scaled it's pretty weird and inconsistent apparently

Goten and Trunks already hit ssj by the age of 10

but Pan is currently just 5 and hasn't even gotten that far yet, nor does she have many notable feats

I'm tryna watch all of dragon ball

With all the movies n shiet

[long peak]

The og DragonBall is the best one

[undone marten]

Is gt even canon

[long peak]

No

Gt is not canon

[undone marten]

So Ss4 isn't canon

That's sad

[long peak]

Correct

Gt is dogshit anyways

[undone marten]

Prolly the sickest transformation aside from fusions and potara

[long peak]

It's ugly as hell

[undone marten]

It's atleast different

[long peak]

That part is true

[undone marten]

And not a hair color change/hairdo change

[long peak]

Fusions are goated though

[undone marten]

Gogeta has a diff level of aura

Gojeta SS4 is so goated

[long peak]

A full grown gotenks would be sick though

If gt wasn't ass people would probably be mad that it's not canon

The only good thing about gt was the ending which especially after toriyamas passing makes me cry every time

[craggy mango]

Not the first uptown funk amv, but its pretty good
https://youtu.be/ej7E89xq1v8

[undone marten]

Didn't we almost get teen gotenks

But they messed up the dance

[undone marten]

Do I watch DBZ or DBZ Kai

[craggy mango]

Dbz has more content, dbz kai has better animation

Personally i prefer dbz

[tidal shore]

original Dragon Ball mfw where we at

[tidal shore]

the way they snuck in the Monogatari Series there like 💀

[undone marten]

Wasn't dbz like terribly paced or smth so they made kai

[craggy mango]

They wanted better animation and lesser filler, so they made kai

[undone marten]

Kai it is

[tidal shore]

did I spot Air Gear there or is it my imagination?

[mighty cape]

Read the manga.

Anime still stuffs loads of filler that fw continuity pretty bad

And it’s gonna be easier to go through reading the manga anyways with less drag

[craggy mango]

Peak continues next January
https://youtu.be/6RWa03RbyOM

[next crescent]

LESSGOOO

[mighty cape]

On top of this

marketing implied Kai was going to be a remake more faithful to the manga

reality was, it was just the original series with the filler cut out, with bare minimum image quality remastering @undone marten

[topaz linden]

Oh yeah, I know this guy 👀
Chill af dude, his process is kinda insane tho

Dude makes a fully typed out script for his videos

[undone marten]

I kinda don't want to read manga rn

And the site I use lists the fillers

[mighty cape]

it's your call.

But skipping episode fillers isn't enough since the anime itself is 'fused' with its filler lore throughout.

[undone marten]

As long as I don't have to read manga

ParagraphxParagraph did it for me

[long peak]

I mean DragonBall is done amazingly as a manga

[mighty cape]

Dragonball manga is also waaay more straight forward too

like hell

why would I want anyone to sit through 10 episodes of Namek that lasts 2 minutes in real time?

same with a whole bunch of other arcs that got stretched out into many episodes bc the anime was catching up to the source material lol

DB anime does have it's high af moments but idk if I'd recommend watching it with how scuffed the adaptations are

[craggy mango]

I've seen enough. Welcome back, Mousou Telepathy!

[tidal shore]

wow first VA where I don't know any of the characters (aside from Blend S)

[topaz linden]

I know 3, but two of them only from the light novels/manga, not from their animes lol

[tidal shore]

that's so crazy

are you more of a written media buff?

[topaz linden]

It's mostly just easier to fit in reading into my schedule than anime (can't exactly watch anime on the train lol)

[tidal shore]

fair

in some way I find this preferable tbh

[topaz linden]

I do read a decent amount tho

My reading log spreadsheet thingy has me at 64 books finished in 2023

Dunno what my figure is so far for this year tho... need to update it

[tidal shore]

wow

[long peak]

I know literally one of those characters

And it's blend s

[topaz linden]

The Virgin Road one's a good series, but has a terrible name lol. The official English name is way better than that bastardization of the Japanese one

Japanese name: Shokei Shōjo no Bājin Rōdo -> "The Executioner Girl's Virgin Road"
English Name: The Executioner and Her Way of Life

TL;DR: Focuses on a girl tasked by the church of her fantasy world with hunting down isekai people before they become corrupted by their gifts and go insane.

[long peak]

That sounds kinda sick

[tidal shore]

isekai hunter

banger

[topaz linden]

The premise is pretty unique, yeah. Anime was fairly low budget and the manga isnt really going anywhere anytime soon tho, so light novels are your best bet for the main story

[long peak]

Damn

[topaz linden]

It's not all bad per say, just dont go in expecting some high action drama lol

One of the better fights:

also, it's a yuri, so naturally no Season 2 ever

[long peak]

The yuri curse

[shadow knot]

I love how whenever I watch size comparisons in fiction its always super ttgl at the biggest and all the non watchers are like “why is a drill larger than the universe”

Oh I remember this one lol

The last several threw me for a loop like "THEYRE STILL GETTING BIGGER?"

[craggy mango]

Seems like Redo of Healer from Temu

[dusty fable]

Redo of Healer is already from Temu. This is Redo of Healer from Alibaba Shenzhen Warehouse 18th row

[craggy mango]

Damn Aoi Yuuki goes wild in latest Re Zero episode

Her bratty yapping is so good

[outer scaffold]

So... i just found out that MHA's last volume will have 60 bonus pages, one ship confirmation will open a hell, this will be interesting.

[craggy mango]

Oh

Spoiler: Akane Kurokawa still the best girl until the end

[tidal shore]

they have to add her to Saint Oniisan it would be so rad

[ionic schooner]

The anti isekai

[ionic schooner]

Jesus and Buddha come across Luce and they all play together

[tidal shore]

fr

Jesus gonna be "This is Luce, she's Gen X, say hiiii Buddha-chan"

[ionic schooner]

https://tenor.com/view/buddha-gif-22456193

[dusty fable]

I fear it won't end well for either Jesus or Buddha. They smell like isekai protagonists

[ionic schooner]

I mean

Jesus revived and Buddhism is about reincarnation and stuff

So

[craggy mango]

Haikyuu movie finally on netflix

Time to rewatch

@ionic schooner

I really want to hate these but AI actually sounds good

I was wondering why I was vibing with the new Arifureta OP so much and then I learned it was Void_Chords (I love Void_Chords) who did the S1 OP as well. Then I learned that the feature on the song is the person who did the S2 opening so it's a cool tag team of the previous artists.

[hot notch]

Man I knew what was coming but the end of the last DanMachi episode still got me. This whole volume is so good but so fucked up for Bell.

[topaz linden]

For the love of god... I thought they were done dragging this out
https://fxtwitter.com/AniNewsAndFacts/status/1852379478355272146

[long peak]

No way man

[tidal shore]

the ending?

[tidal shore]

this got 3 seasons meanwhile no NGNL S2

[dusty fable]

Next movie: Attack on Titan: The Last Attack on the 3rd before last Titan

[topaz linden]

How many variations of "The Final Episode's Final Attack Final Season Part 4 - The Final Chapter" they can come up with

[tidal shore]

I'm out of the loop here

[topaz linden]

It's a pretty straightforward meme

Attack on Titan has had so much shit with "final" in it that it's a meme in and of itself at this point

Ex: This is an actual title

Continued in
"Attack on Titan "The Final Season" - The Final Chapters", a "final" movie, a "final" recap movie, and now again in
"Attack on Titan The Last Attack"

[dusty fable]

At least now they have a good reason to do a Attack on Titan: Remake

[topaz linden]

Attack on Titan: The Final Remake

[dusty fable]

And then Attack on Titan: The Last Remake

And maybe then, if ppl still watching it: Attack on Titan: Finally Remade (absolutely new story with giant trees instead of walls)

[tidal shore]

LMAO

bro talk shit about magic and miss catgirl got pissed

[rancid ledge]

i remember her screaming at the mc

[next crescent]

No, and I'm still confused why they're taking the final season and making it a glorified movie/episode using whatever scenes they feel like for it

[tidal shore]

huh

u mean this "final" season has shuffled order of events?

[ionic schooner]

i thought they ended it

like 3 years ago

[topaz linden]

First it was just dragging out/padding the content before the ending, now it's just going back and milking it for more

Cause like

They already adapted the ending (finally)

So now it's just spinoffs/going back and adding more filler

https://tenor.com/view/i-think-theres-no-end-to-this-neil-degrasse-tyson-startalk-this-will-never-end-on-and-on-gif-22196953

[tidal shore]

🤔

[next crescent]

It's not a season, it looks like they're using the last 5 seasons (the last season, all 5 different "last" and "finals" and parts) and smooshing them together in a movie

Even though last season final episode parts 1 and 2 are both like an hour and a half long

And they're not really a shuffled order of events, it's quite literally just:
Aot: "here is the last season!"
Fans: "how are they going to condense the last dozen chapters into a season? Will it be an extended season?"
Aot: animates the normal amount of chapters per season
Fans: "oh, they'll make the last bit a movie"
Aot: "here's the final season part 2!"
Fans: "oh"
Aot: "oh yeah, we couldn't fit it all in that part, so we're making a part 3!"
Fans: "...okay"
Aot: "oh, we couldn't fit all of that into a third part, so we'll be making a second final season!"
Fans: "...why?"
Aot: "we couldn't fit it into a single special, so we split it in two!"
Fans: "OH, COME ON"

Now there's going to be a movie

That's a recap

Of all those

Somehow

it'll probably end up being like 5 movies and two of them will be the last two episodes condensed into one 3 hour episode

[tidal shore]

ah so it's a recap?

[next crescent]

That's what it looks like from the trailers I've seen

[craggy mango]

Yee basically its a recap with some new content at after credit

[next crescent]

And only after the credits

Which kinda makes it feel pointless because why would you pay to watch it in movie form than just the episodes themselves unless they're going to actually edit it down well enough to make a cohesive story that doesn't drag

[craggy mango]

He is just like me fr fr

I drove to a Halloween party at a friend's and one of their neighbors already has their house fully decorated for Christmas

I bet you they're the one who releases padoru every November

[tidal shore]

i bet they're the ones who play christmas olympics like in that one movie where neighbours try to outdo each other with christmas decorations

and then they receive the electricity bill
