anime girl

[mighty cape]

Spoiler about this issue

[ionic schooner]

why is moon knight always ||traumatized and insane asf||

😭

[mighty cape]

Can you blame the guy? Dracula owes him money

[ionic schooner]

true

[rancid ledge]

Yall, should I watch dandadan?

[ionic schooner]

i heard it is good yes

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/dandadan-anime-dance-watch-dandadan-gif-10578616237734058467

been pretty dang good so far

[tidal shore]

what the fuck 💀

banger art but I'm not sure about the message here? 💀

[rancid ledge]

heard its peak

[mighty cape]

These were just some random pages I found on Google images so I couldn’t tell you tbh

issue #3 in particular

According to a friend Phases of the Moon Knight are collections of stories featuring different incantations of the Moon Knight throughout histories

[topaz linden]

kinda gives me Mob Psycho vibes a bit?

both with the really well done animation and the kinda serious but lighthearted and wackytone

[rancid ledge]

thats literally what im getting

[topaz linden]

The soundtrack for it is so good

[long peak]

Apparently it's not very good

You should read dandadan

It's fantastic

[topaz linden]

Whenever this gets an official release, I'm adding it into my playlist right away
https://youtu.be/dzq2qBKhQdQ

[tidal shore]

soundtrack too

[tidal shore]

this could easily play in a Cyberpunk night club, it would fit so well

[ionic schooner]

its to show off how insane moon knight is duhhh

[mighty cape]

[long peak]

I dunno

[tidal shore]

From the looks of it seems like it’s gonna be a 4 issue mini series

I’ll prolly pick it up when it’s compiled into a volume

[mighty cape]

Nah. Not interested in it tbh.

[long peak]

It's sick

[mighty cape]

[rancid ledge]

did anyone like the alya chan anime

the one with the brother and sister?

[tidal shore]

as a lifetime hater of Russia

saw some funny clips on youtube, think I'd like it

[long peak]

I keep getting an ad for it and the one scene is cringe

[frank musk]

i did

the community loves to overexaggerate the borther and sister relationship tho

[rancid ledge]

i ignore the community

[frank musk]

the 1st season is alright, but according to those who have read the light novel, it gets better

[rancid ledge]

ah i see

the garden witch manga is already getting animated

[topaz linden]

According to the Russian guy in a scanlation server I'm in, the EN Dub's Russian was at least better than the Japanese dub's

[topaz linden]

It was really good imo, particularly the dub. The localization team did a good job with making the dialogue feel natural and there was some pretty solid humor to it

[rancid ledge]

as much as i love the dub, i wanna give the jp a chance

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/the-road-to-el-dorado-both-both-is-good-gif-8304204

Also, the different ED tracks each episode was a pleasant surprise

[tidal shore]

yea

Japanese language so syllabic they can't pronounce for shit

have you heard the Polish Japanese song?

[craggy mango]

Its very generic and boring, the sibling romance joke is the only thing that make this series relevant

[topaz linden]

That's a very nonspecfic description, I'm not sure

[tidal shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mbQhQHpuh9o

Japanese trying to sing in Polish

I didn't even realise she was singing in Polish until the 3rd listen

[rancid ledge]

apothecary diaries is getting a second season

whos watching it

[topaz linden]

Reminds me of this one JRPG I played way back on the PS2 that had a song I thought was some latin shit. Turns out it's Portuguese with reallly bad pronounciation

[tidal shore]

BRUH

fwiw the anime is like 6/10 according to mal (and mal is already low brow as is)

character design is so epic tho, at least the Japanese figured that part out about femininity
the west barely gets it right

[topaz linden]

Still a pretty song tho
https://youtu.be/axgM5Ss0xfo

[tidal shore]

the vibes do be latin tho

I can kinda see how you'd be confused, or anyone really

[topaz linden]

Portuguese isnt exactly anyone's first guess for a JRPG soundtrack

[tidal shore]

also true

• portuguese doesn't sound so soft

where's the "sh" coming from huh HUH

[topaz linden]

Battle theme from it's still a bop tho
https://youtu.be/laN7PIOZOXE

[tidal shore]

ohh it's Grandia

I've come across this title in my jrpg phase, mostly through comments tho

[topaz linden]

It's a solid game

Has a pretty unique combat mechanic to it I dig

Fucking long tho

~30ish hours long minimum if you know what you're doing

[tidal shore]

yea that's long

[topaz linden]

Kinda neat bit was some attacks actually had little anime segments worked into them 👀

https://tenor.com/view/grandia-grandia-2-gif-5592503981406135139

Nothing mind blowing ofc, but for PS2 era it was impressive

[craggy mango]

Holy shit, i just found out Tricot doing OP for anime this season

Its Kimi wa Meido Sama
https://youtu.be/AD4wjqCmC98

Ofc its a fucking banger and thank god with beautiful animation too

i havent watched the anime tho

The last time Tricot created anisong it was for Bocchi The Rock ED 2 "Karakara" https://youtu.be/MTPiaDzacSI

Yes it was my most favorite song from Bocchi

[tidal shore]

the quality shows

[dusty fable]

Sure, I will probably never watch this

[frank musk]

Man i cant wait for saturday

[tidal shore]

I think it's worth a watch

though I haven't seen it myself, I've seen a therapist talk about it (Arcane), and I found it immensely insightful

[next crescent]

Oh the show is insanely good and well-written

The depth of the characters and their motivations, struggles, and basically everything is phenomenal

With awesome animation to top it off

[rancid ledge]

https://fixvx.com/anime_softspot/status/1852056403281952983?t=tI6X7LZw8VO4WgeVkSb_qA&s=19

he's dripped out, holy shit

[topaz linden]

Another note is that it's entirely self-contained. There's no need to play/read anything about League of Legends to follow the story of the show

[tidal shore]

true!

in fact the Riot team decided to rewrite their own lore based on Arcane

cuz it was so good

[next crescent]

Yeeee

[dusty fable]

Tbh, I would take a word from a person outside NA or China who actually watched it. I think NA is too obsessed with LoL and Valo, that I can't expect them to be not biased.

[tidal shore]

so it's more that u don't want to commit?

well, I don't feel like watching it either so

¯_(ツ)_/¯

maybe somewhere down the line in the future

not soon tho

[dusty fable]

No, it seems that nobody outside NA outside LoL fanbase watched it and nobody ever suggested to watch it to me. So for it being that good I find it quite unlikely, because most of the really good stuff was suggested to me multiple times

Like it's probably good. The lore and character stories in LoL were quite good.

But I somehow assume it's WoW movie levels of good. Warcraft has incredible lore and story. Maybe one of the best in gaming world. Blizzard has(or had) incredibly good cinematics and animation department. But WoW movie? Good, but not great

[tidal shore]

well, I'm outside the fanbase, and outside of NA, and I haven't watched it, but the clips I've seen were amazing

that's why I'm keen on recommending it

haven't seen any WoW movies, honestly never really cared about WoW

[topaz linden]

WoW movie was pretty terrible lol

Comparison feels way off

Arcane's not even really world lore-heavy tbh, it's 99% characters and their conflicts/relationships focused

[next crescent]

My word is mostly valid then, because I don't give a shit about league or val

I played league for like 2 days about a decade ago and haven't gone back

[topaz linden]

Never touched league at all here lol

[next crescent]

Never touched valorant at all nor do I care to watch any videos or anything on it lol

The show itself basically just uses some characters from the game and very, very loose lore from what I've been told

The show itself is entirely its own thing

[dusty fable]

It depends... Idk if it's a good example, but if a StarCraft movie came out, I wouldn't trust anyone from South Korea on it, even if they never played StarCraft. People just tend to have a better prior opinion on something, if people around them have a good opinion about it. It's like an inherent conforming bias that is pretty hard to notice

[next crescent]

Okay but what if I don't talk about league for pretty much anything, none of my friends play league and all like the show (if they've watched it), and so on?
Idk if I have any sort of confirmation bias for it when, if league disappeared or ended, I probably wouldn't even notice vs having seen the show for myself with no prior knowledge to anything regarding league and thinking it was top notch solely based on the actual story and character development?

Like, the only thing I think I "actively" (more like rarely) participate is watching their yearly cinematic drop for whatever new song came out for them

Also idk anything about star craft but if I was into that genre and someone who is into it said the movie was really good I'd probably still check it out regardless if they're from Korea or not

I'm not saying it's good because it's a league show, I'm saying it's good because it's good

That and I have 0 idea if they marketed the show outside of North America at all, which could explain why anyone outside the sphere of the game and the continent would not have seen it

Even if not to watch the entire show, I'd at least suggest watching a clip or two from it and judging from there

[dusty fable]

Well, yeah. The point is, I already have some bias against it(tbh, it's kinda hard to pinpoint where this bias comes from), so that is why I am sort of sceptical. Plus I have zero incentive to watch it. So I don't mean that your opinion is wrong, what I mean is that I am unlikely to be swayed on this due to my bias

[next crescent]

I mean, that's fair and all, it's just that your original response to not watching it felt like something entirely different lmao

"I won't watch it if it's someone from China or NA trying to sell me on it" essentially?

But ye, that's fine

I won't force you to watch it or anything, just got a little iffy with how you originally stated why

[dusty fable]

That specifically comes from having a decent amount of non positive interactions with NA and Chinese LoL fanbase

[next crescent]

Well yeah, because the league fan base in general sucks monkey ass lmao

But if that's what your reason is then yeah

[frank musk]

I just watch the pro scene and do anything else that doesnt involve me playing the game

[dusty fable]

Tbh, LoL twitch viewers are kinda the reason my 14 year old bias kept getting reinforced, since LoL viewers tend to popup on Counter Strike and Pubg streams I watch and tell how many viewers are currently watching LoL world tourney kekw

Pretty sure it goes both ways, with CS viewers being toxic on Riot streams but nonetheless it keeps me low-key annoyed with LoL apparently

[rancid ledge]

wtf

[next crescent]

yeah, communities for different games and media can suck quite a lot, but i personally like to dissociate the community from the product since it isn't always reflective of its quality

like genshin for example

[rancid ledge]

idk what the problem is, but uhh anyways go watch arcane and if you dont want to, then cool

[mighty cape]

sees League mentioned

we did it

we beat this vr game

[next crescent]

It was still going?

[outer scaffold]

Guys, 100 Kanojo has introduced a new GF whose trait is just basically Layla

[outer scaffold]

The difference is that this GF, in her sleep personality, can't actually speak, only ZZZ, and also, her eyes are actually shut

[next crescent]

So she sleep walks

[outer scaffold]

Idk what to say, let me screenshot it

Her transformation

Her sleep personality is like a "live broadcast" packed in a "dream" for her conscious personality

So she sleep walks, but actually conscious, you get what i mean?

[next crescent]

Okay

Rip how tired she still looks though 😭

[rancid ledge]

question, did anyone like samurai champloo?

[long peak]

It's goated

Very good series

[undone marten]

My top 1

[shadow knot]

its up there for me

[tidal shore]

https://tenor.com/view/youmu-fish-lazy-gif-18097101

sharing this gif again cuz it's hella wholesome

also it goes hard asf with the song im listening to rn (danshi ver reol)

[tidal shore]

she's just like me 😭

the first 2 panels

[rancid ledge]

I bet it was better than the demon slayer fights

[long peak]

youre saying that like demon slayer isnt just pretty to look at

the choreo is not very good

[rancid ledge]

ah I see

[tidal shore]

samurai champloo fights were rly epic

[undone marten]

The music was a 10/10

https://open.spotify.com/artist/5Fmr3KeGe2IAVFmMxUq1sD?si=_U7TMz3ITtu12K_Ryi5RxQ

Force of nature is lowkey him

Nujabes too, the goat

[long peak]

Samurai Champloo probably has the best soundtrack out of any anime

Nujabes the goat worked on it, and it has 2 of the best eds ever

[tidal shore]

perhaps

but nothing hit me as hard as the theme near the end of Silent Voice

so Samurai Champloo is going to have to step down a bit for me xd

[undone marten]

https://open.spotify.com/track/69UzDmxpRr3F0xY3NaApm9?si=z-Go1Q9oS6u6sQSGN577bQ

If this doesn't get you grooving idk what will

[rancid ledge]

I heard the mc does like break dancing while fighting

[tidal shore]

yea it's epic

[undone marten]

Yeah one of the protagonists

The fight choreography is so peak

[rancid ledge]

oh damn, thats why

[rancid ledge]

i see a peak mc in your pfp

[undone marten]

Who the hell do you think he is

[tidal shore]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LvZv36GZwU

[rancid ledge]

simon from gurren laggan

[undone marten]

are you serious or nah cause I just referenced the anime

[tidal shore]

ohhh my god she's so sigma

[dusty fable]

JoJo for me tbh

[long peak]

really?

jojo is good but like

its like a 7/10 max

the only real standout music is the battle themes and thats kinda it

[dusty fable]

I guess I am just old enough to dig the same shit author does

[long peak]

are you talking about op/eds?

[dusty fable]

OST in general, ofc oped included

[long peak]

i still think samurai champloo clears

the only thing jojo has going for it are the op/ed and the battle themes that play for like 40 seconds

dont get me wrong i love jojo a lot but music wise it doesnt hold a candle

and it doesnt rely on previously existing music

[dusty fable]

Ehh, I think it's a matter of taste more than anything else

Especially in music

[long peak]

for sure

but jojo doesnt have that much environmental music

[dusty fable]

You mean ambient?

[long peak]

yeah, word slipped my mind

[dusty fable]

Well, it kinda does. Especially more towards the later seasons, like the ones about Kira or the prison. It's not ambient, more like suspense building ost

[long peak]

youve watched samurai champloo right

so you know what i mean when i talk about that

[dusty fable]

Yeah, around 13 years ago, like most of the anime

[long peak]

ah

[dusty fable]

Tbh, I still think it wasn't too memorable for me. Like for example I remember Mushishi having good ambient, and I didn't finish it. Not so sure about Samurai Champloo. I remember the show itself being good, but not much about ost

I think I remember it having hip hop motives? Or am I tripping?

Or was it afrosamurai...

[undone marten]

You take that back rn

But I kinda have to agree

JoJo peaked with sbr tbh

Perfect manga

[shadow knot]

erm overrated

jokes aside, honestly any watanabe work or anything with yoko kanno holds at the top for best anime ost

[undone marten]

Shinichiro Watanabe my goat

[shadow knot]

/mu/ peeps would def put the cowboy bebop ost up there

[undone marten]

Can we all agree that Bleach has top tier ost

They just don't miss

[shadow knot]

best out of the big 3 I agree
top tier out of every battle shōnen in general, maybe
top tier in general, it depends

[undone marten]

Idk what shiro sagisu did to be that good at composing

https://youtu.be/LVKOsWZm8Ms?si=NmdGSAqJja7Oo146

And he still makes bangers like bro made a deal with the devil to be good at creating music 🗣️🔥🔥🔥🔥

[hot notch]

OK do we think Sawano is goated or do y'all think he's bland? I only see extremely polarized opinions on him and nothing in the middle.

[shadow knot]

he’s in the middle for me

can’t deny he’s solid but his composing style feels too redundant for my taste

[hot notch]

I guess I like that part though. Whenever I hear his stuff I know it's at least gonna be a good OST. He also just does a lot of mecha stuff so I may be biased.

[shadow knot]

I like some of his KLK tracks

few from unicorn

[undone marten]

I liked his aot stuff

[hot notch]

Gundam Unicorn my beloved

[shadow knot]

86 has like one that I like and the rest I sleep

AOT gets overrated

[hot notch]

Xi from Gundam Hathaway is very interstellar inspired and it's awesome

I like a lot of his lyrical nZk stuff as well.

Some of it flops hard though

[undone marten]

This guy

Loved his metal stuff

https://open.spotify.com/artist/7sLqa02moPoueR5XrSUvMx?si=ueol7GJ1TImIs-PTHgWfLQ

Bro why won't it embed

[shadow knot]

Ltify

[undone marten]

Didn't know he also did black lagoon

[rancid ledge]

damn imma need to catch up to bleach

[topaz linden]

Sawano for me is kinda like the Michael Bay of anime OSTs

Kind of a one trick pony, but for what they're going for, they do it really well

Michael Bay has his explosions, Sawano has his drops

[dusty fable]

Sawano has really good stuff. And then replicates that formula to get free estate in anime. So he dilutes good stuff with more of a consumer oriented stuff

[tidal shore]

"too redundant for my taste" what does that mean

[shadow knot]

there are probably better ways to reword my opinion but being too familiar with his mixing and instrumental compositions I just got tired of hearing most of his music

[tidal shore]

i see

[tidal shore]

strong retro vibes here, I totally dig it

[undone marten]

Check out his other stuff it's great

[hot notch]

This is valid, I just haven't gotten tired of the Sawano magic yet. The fact that I don't think I've disliked an anime that's he's made the OST for yet is also a pretty big help in that I guess.

[craggy mango]

After three years, the queen returns today

[topaz linden]

but only part 1 😔

still have to wait another one or two weeks for the rest

[craggy mango]

3 episodes are good enough for my crave

[rancid ledge]

should i watch the smartphone isekai or is it just generally stupid?

[next crescent]

At least the episodes are like an hour each

[rancid ledge]

hey kindred, hru?

[next crescent]

I'm okay, how are you?

[rancid ledge]

im good, good

[mighty cape]

I hear better things about the LN tbh

[rancid ledge]

i should read the LN huh

[mighty cape]

Up to you. But tbh, way too many LN adaptations tend to get heavily shafted that’d I’d rather experience the sauce material first lol.

Don’t get me started on LN Kirito vs anime Kirito

[rancid ledge]

lets see we got mushoku tensei, classroom elite and that...

[rancid ledge]

whats the difference

[mighty cape]

(Or SAO anime in general)

[mighty cape]

One is an actual character that at least faces noticeable self doubt and more inner conflict, even with his feats, while another looks like anime Jesus without a second thought for show-off sake

[rancid ledge]

well, blame the writers for making kirito a mary sue

[mighty cape]

I blame people’s perception from the poisonous anime that ruined SAO far more than it had to

As well as the anime staff directors

[rancid ledge]

wdym spiked?

[mighty cape]

Edited

I ain’t gonna say that SAO ln or its protag is peak fiction

But it’s at lesser more nuanced than people give it credit for up to the parts I’ve read

SAO anime adaptation is a straight up massacre

[rancid ledge]

i kinda agree, i dont like it at all anymore but they couldve made kirito less relevant

maybe give some development to the other characters too

[mighty cape]

I shudder hearing about how they downplayed Mother’s Rosario along with Alicization

And don’t

Get me

Fuckn

Started

[rancid ledge]

quinella im assuming?

[mighty cape]

On SAO Progressive having an anime original waifu for harem pandering sake

SAO anime is dead to me

Period

[mighty cape]

No.

[rancid ledge]

its already been dead tbh

[mighty cape]

Doesn’t matter. My point still stands on how shameless a cash cow it is even by cash cow anime standards.

[rancid ledge]

they always have to make kirito a fucking harem king because of the "games" via hollow realization or lycoris

[mighty cape]

The anime did yes

[rancid ledge]

thats a stupid ass reason

[mighty cape]

But apparently

The game spin offs weren’t helping either

[rancid ledge]

season 2 and 3 are the bane of my existence

was the kiss from sinon really necessary, asuna is right there

[mighty cape]

I couldn’t tell you. I stopped the LNs by GGO and got distracted by other stuff.

Wait no

Mother’s Rosario

That was good shit

[rancid ledge]

I dropped sao as soon as i left the sao amino by choice.

[mighty cape]

Good.

[rancid ledge]

never went back to that fandom ever again.

[mighty cape]

SAO anime is a shit stain

[rancid ledge]

its trash.

and garbage.

full of kirito wannabes and shit.

[mighty cape]

But yeah, that said. Over the years I’ve lost a lot of faith and hype over most anime adaptations.

Esp LNs

So much can go fukn wrong midway

To the point where I either just jump onto the source material as my first option more often if I’m really interested

Or if said adaptation has been known to be consistently good through and through

[rancid ledge]

idk what LN is there, so i cant say

[mighty cape]

One of the more popular adaptations atm is Re:Zero and Jobless Reincarnation

[rancid ledge]

yeah, also danmachi anime made season 5 so theres that

[tidal shore]

the vocal minority at it again

they go like brrrrrrr

[rancid ledge]

re zero with their newest episodes as well

lmao dont remind me

gundam 0079 sitting on my watchlist...

[hot notch]

Gundam mentioned

https://tenor.com/view/turkey-bitch-simon-cowell-laser-eyes-gif-15634652

Please don't watch the full original 0079 anime it's so mid. Just watch the recap movies.

[ionic schooner]

gundam came out 79 years after jesus

i did not know this

[rancid ledge]

bro wouldnt i need to like watch ALL of gundam?

[hot notch]

0079 is the first one ever so no

Granted there's like 7 different shows that take place during U.C. 0079 but the OG Gundam was the one set in 0079 (because it came out in 1979). U.C. 0079 is the 1 Year War which is the main catalyst for most of the things that happen in the U.C. timeline. If you wanted to just get into Gundam as a whole (idk if you have already or not) you could start with one of the shows not set in the U.C. timeline like 00, Seed, Iron Blooded Orphans, Age, Wing, G, or Witch From Mercury (the new one).

All of those are set in their own completely separate timelines so you don't need any prior knowledge to get into them.

[rancid ledge]

I don't?

[hot notch]

Nope. For the ones I listed there you don't need any prior knowledge because they all take place in their own self-contained universes.

[rancid ledge]

Hmm yeah thats true, every gundam series are diff

[hot notch]

There are a metric shit ton of them that take place in the main Gundam timeline of the Universal Century but those that I listed don't.

[topaz linden]

Generally stupid (at least the anime itself is)

Tho on the positive side of things, the folks that made SAO Abridged made a one shot abridged of the Smartphone anime that's a decent 26 minute watch
https://youtu.be/rnx6n1lj4hU

[rancid ledge]

Hmm, guess Ill start watching 00? i guess no watching gundam seed?

[hot notch]

Both 00 and Seed are good. Seed has the best overall mobile suit designs but the story is kinda lacking in a lot of places. The movie that came out recently fixes some of those issues but it's still a little rough. Seed is also 100 episodes and 2 movies long. 00 is 50 epidoes and 1 movie.

[tidal shore]

joks fell flat for me, then again they had very little to work with considering the source

[topaz linden]

It's a one shot for a reason lol

[tidal shore]

yee

[topaz linden]

Probably was just a side project to give em a break from SAO:A for a little

[tidal shore]

they couldve released it as a CD xd

[topaz linden]

God knows how much time they spend on the SAO one with the amount of editing and script writing they do

[tidal shore]

they also do dbz on the side, no?

[topaz linden]

That was Team Four Star, wasn't it?

[tidal shore]

ah

I got them confused lol

[topaz linden]

think they might share one or two voice actors, but are different groups

I know Asuna's abridged VA is in a few things (since her voice/acting is pretty easy to spot )

[tidal shore]

they do mha

[topaz linden]

ah, yeah, that's the one

They've been running that for a bit now as its own series

[topaz linden]

I feel like you'd ideally either want to keep it limited to just your own college club members' survey results, or pull from a bigger survey elsewhere

this feels like a really weird middle ground of "not enough people" AND "nothing personal/related to the club"

MORE GAY ANIME?

[rancid ledge]

do yall prefer anime or manga jjk?

[mighty cape]

Go For It Nakamura is a romcom manga about a gay social awkward high schooler who’s trying every thing he can so he can at least befriend his crush, but his attempts usually end in some wacky comical failures, while he meets some odd balls bigger than himself too along the way. It’s actually a comedy I’d recommend to people who aren’t even into BL bc of how much I like the gags, as well as the cast (which have several recurring girls among them too).

Okay but ANOTHER GAY ANIME

[mighty cape]

Even better, a potentially actually good one

[rancid ledge]

whats wrong with that?

[next crescent]

Nothing, hence the pog

Japan making is making more LGBT shows

JAPAN

Or I should specify gay like I did before because I feel like women tend to get more exposure with lesbian couples or "they're possibly in love" sort of stuff

[long peak]

Oh that's the one that my gf likes

[mighty cape]

Anime girls can have nachos together and it can be seen as gay

[next crescent]

Exactly, but also the ones where they are openly really into each other

Because of whatever it's called when dudes think lesbian couples are hot 😭

But think gay couples are disgusting

[mighty cape]

Then you got the ones where they bait you into thinking that after the strongest of romantic-looking tensions

looking at you Euphonium (great af show btw but DO NOT watch this for any romance at all )

[next crescent]

The fake outs

Yuri on ice though is still just such a classic 🤌

[mighty cape]

Like holy shit they took the CAKE FOR THAT one it was crazy.

imagine doing this shit

And in the episode

RIGHT AFTER

the same gril calls her to come out with the fact that’s she’s in love with their music teacher.

And she flat. Out. Elaborates.
“And I don’t mean it in a sentimental way. Or an inspirational way. Or a platonic way. Or any other fancy way. I’m in LOVE with this man. Straight up.”

The other gril: “oh uh. k ig?”

You would not

believe the discourse this shit started

Though according to a old friend who read the novels in JP, some of the ‘subtext’ (including the finger to lip thing) was anime original soooo

[rancid ledge]

watch citrus then we can talk

[mighty cape]

Citrus

[next crescent]

Orange?

[mighty cape]

How about watching Bloom Into You, Adachi To Shimamura, or Kase-San And Morning Glories instead?

Citrus is just one of those ummm

[next crescent]

STEPSISTERS?

[mighty cape]

‘Notorious’ yuri anime

[next crescent]

I had to Google it because I haven't heard of it 😭

The promo art made me think "okay it's a gl show" then I read the synopsis

[mighty cape]

Even without the step sister stuff (their parents just recently remarried anyways)

The nature of the main pair is kinda infamous for being questionable and manipulative to an extent altogether

[next crescent]

Ah

Then yeah I'm definitely good with not watching it

[rancid ledge]

OH YOURE SO RIGHT

kase san is so peak

[mighty cape]

Adachi to Shimamura LNs look esp promising

Like bro

They got one of the female lead’s MOM defending her and her daughter’s gf in it

If that’s not raw af idk what is lol

Oh and I highly recommend reading

Boy meets Maria

For some mlm romance. But just be warned there’s some really tragic and scary backstory involving ||SA and trauma from it||.

But it leaves the characters on a good send off onto a healing journey.

[rancid ledge]

I havent seen that one

[mighty cape]

The author passed away a while back

Rest in peace

Citrus is a very good show. Definitely a breather in a stagnating romantic genre

[dusty fable]

What, it has a name? I thought most straight guys generally have this disposition more or less

[long peak]

Citrus is so bad

[next crescent]

There is a name for it I just can't say it in the server since the first half of it is banned

[dusty fable]

Say the second half

[next crescent]

Ize

I guess less like half and more like 2/3

[undone marten]

Bleach TYBW is so good

The fight scenes are so beautifully animated and they even keep the artstyle

looks at jjk

[undone marten]

Riruka is so bad

[mighty cape]

[next crescent]

Can't wait for the parts 2 and 3 and also "The final season part 1" and "the final, FINAL season part 1: THE FINAL SHOWDOWN"

[shadow knot]

2 parts should be good enough for the remainder of the series

[next crescent]

He didn't get the joke 😔

But yeah it should

Just watched recent episode of Orb

This is the first time i laughed hearing Kenjiro Tsuda voice since Ore Monogatari

[rancid ledge]

anybody like katana fights like rurouni kenshin?

or just samurai champloo in general

[tidal shore]

in that case I recommend checking out the Rurouni Kenshin live adaptation choreography

it's so good

[rancid ledge]

oh yeah my dad watches that

[tidal shore]

based

[rancid ledge]

yeah rurouni kenshi live action feels like the series

i still need to watch the anime

i watched trust and betrayal a couple times

[royal sail]

Any cool horror anime you can recommend?

[tidal shore]

Ghost Stories (dub)

[royal sail]

Thank uuu

[mighty cape]

Shiki

Aka “the only ‘actually good’ horror anime”

[topaz linden]

Higurashi (When They Cry) is a classic.
Tho if you're open to "suspense" horror too, Summertime Rendering might be worth checking out 👀 (more mystery than horror, but it's got some nice horror aspects to its story)

Perfect Blue's good if you're a psychological horror fan

[dusty fable]

Shiki. Mieruko-chan. Higurashi no naku koro ni. My top3

Also Barefoot Gen, but that's realism horror. It's about horrors of war

[next crescent]

Perfect blue was insane

Like damn I never really thought about that angle with mental stress and illness and how it can make reality shift the way it does in such a realistic feeling way 😭

Outside of something like schizophrenia

[royal sail]

Yeah I watched that one , it's pretty cool uwu

[royal sail]

Yeah I watched Higurashi , it was twisted and messy but it was fun, I will try the summertime rendering one

[royal sail]

Sounds cool

[royal sail]

Watched them 3, Mieruku was kinda comedy too I think

Thank u all uwu

[rancid ledge]

ghost stories is so peak fr

[rancid ledge]

corpse party /j

[royal sail]

Tortured souls one?

[rancid ledge]

tortured souls or the games

or uzumaki

[dusty fable]

It was unwatchable for me. Anime itself is good, I just generally don't like this sort of depicting hallucinations in anime

[dusty fable]

It's, but Comedy is there to enhance the horror

[royal sail]

I watched the tortured souls one only and it's more gore than horror

[royal sail]

Yeah, but I hated the ecchi stuff, at least they stopped showing the sexual stuff at episode 2

[rancid ledge]

mieruko is awesome i love that one

i dont think tokyo ghoul was scary

[dusty fable]

Ehh, I agree. Not that I hated it, but yeah, that's Japanese horror for you. Most of it has ecchi since their age rating is usually higher on average. In anime they sometimes cut it out, like Higurashi for example, because that one was already popular, so they don't need to grab attention

[royal sail]

I remember when I wanted to watch high school of the dead thinking it was just about zombies and it was all ecchi :(

[ionic schooner]

me when the zombies also have boobs

[royal sail]

I mean it kinda gets me out of the stories if all I see are boobs jumping around xd

[dusty fable]

Zombies and ecchi - a perfect combination. Eating someone's ass was never as meaningful as in this genre

[tidal shore]

coco

I have yet to watch a good horror anime

it's all gore

or blood

or violence

which is relying on shock factor

that's part of why horror works, but it shouldn't be the focus

haven't seen Shiki tho so maybe that one's good? Idk

[dusty fable]

There is also "Another". Very good one.

[tidal shore]

it's more a comedy than horror

||umbrella scene particularly||

||also epic dance scene||

[dusty fable]

Oh, it's definitely one of the best. And you genuinely need to go clueless into it. Like without even reading the description and tags

[dusty fable]

Kinda. I think comedy and horror goes well together

[tidal shore]

hm

Shinsekai Yori was kind of horror-ish

but it's so slow I think most people won't bother

if you don't vibe with the vibes it's joever

[tidal shore]

good to know, cuz I still have no clue what it is about

[dusty fable]

I would agree, Shinsekai Yori is pretty creepy when it gets to its main plot device

[ionic schooner]

The best horror anime is shikanoko nokotan

She's scary bro

[tidal shore]

@ionic schooner the best horror is seeing you gen alpha speech

Hawk 1: I finally have an idea do you want to hear it
(Hawk 1 says the idea)
Hawk 2: ah I get it

[dusty fable]

Higurashi is considered one of the best VNs and horror stories for a reason.

[ionic schooner]

We need more 1st person animes

Like ik there's a romance one

But we need an action one like

I forgot what it's called but it's the movie where the guy in the bus says your jacket is gay

And then the guy uses a flamethrower on the bus

[dusty fable]

Wasn't there a mirrors edge Anime or am I tripping?

[ionic schooner]

Idk maybe

Sounds cool tho

[dusty fable]

A bit off topic, there is a super good horror movie, which almost started the whole 1st person thing (Blair's Witch aside). Cloverfield. The first movie in series

[long peak]

You're outdated

No one talks about baby gronk anymore

The Costco guys give that 5 DOOMS

[dusty fable]

Also, if you never watched "One cut of the Dead" - it's one of the greatest zombie movies out there. It starts as a typical trash movie and then goes somewhere else

It's also first person

Lmao, it's 100% on Rotten Tomatoes, didn't expect that

[ionic schooner]

I don't actually know what these mean😭

And now everyone thinks wolves have alphas and stuff

[tidal shore]

what

no

[ionic schooner]

The guy who made the alpha wolf theory

Said it wasn't true years later

[tidal shore]

Sigma came way after the alphas and betas

[ionic schooner]

Oh

Wait

Isn't sigma a number

Or a letter or something

😭

[long peak]

I just mogged you coco. -10,000 aura lil bro. I'm like the rizzler and you're like Jimmy fallon

[ionic schooner]

Who is Jimmy Fallon

[long peak]

Anyways yes, sigma is a thing in the Greek alphabet

[ionic schooner]

Omg so sigma

One two sigma three four five

[tidal shore]

sigma male is ironic posting to kind of make fun of people who buy into alpha beta male theories
but then it got so big people forgor /shrug

[ionic schooner]

[long peak]

People assigned it cause it sounded cool to guys who think they're unique for being quiet and brooding

[dusty fable]

Ratioed

[ionic schooner]

Apparently my friends r Sigma's cuz they always call themselves sigma

[long peak]

That's so two years ago

[ionic schooner]

[tidal shore]

that's for alpha/beta wolves, and yes that's true

[long peak]

Don't even know about Duke Dennis or that they put fannum on a horse

[dusty fable]

Hey, if I think something is rad it is rad, even if it's 30 years old.

[ionic schooner]

wait

[long peak]

I don't wanna talk tuah unless she hawk tuah

[ionic schooner]

isnt calling yourself a sigma

making you not sigma

cause sigmas are quiet

[long peak]

[ionic schooner]

so all my friends arent sigma?!>!.1

[long peak]

[dusty fable]

It's fine. If you are quiet while typing

[tidal shore]

what

sorry coco but what

[ionic schooner]

cuz

sigmas are quiet and stuff

but people calling themselves sigma all the time

makes them loud

so they arent sigma

[tidal shore]

are you truly a sigma when you engage in the social game online?

pretender....

[long peak]

Sigmas are not on social media

Or at least the ideal one

[dusty fable]

They use proxies

Sigma Proxy. Now that sounds rad

[long peak]

Cause they theoretically don't give a shit about what other people think or communicating with others

[tidal shore]

so sigma = psychopath?

as a self identified sigma proxy 💀

sounds like something gen alpha would invent ngl

[dusty fable]

I mean, there are levels to not giving a shit what other ppl think. Somewhere there is sigma levels of nonchalance

Like I would imagine Gunslinger from the Dark Tower as a perfect sigma. But he does communicate and even socialize to advance his goals

[topaz linden]

Sigma = someone with a bad case of ligma

junji ito ep 1 🗣️ 💯 🔥🔥🚒
junji ito ep 2 💀

and continuing

[ionic schooner]

dont ask who animated the episodes after episode 1

💀

[outer scaffold]

Can the anime save its manga?

If Mengo were the ones who continued the storyboard for the anime, would it be as good/bad as Kuzu no Honkai?

[craggy mango]

Scum's Wish might be a bit controversial but she managed to deliver the final arc

Female mangaka always have good record about landing the ending

[craggy mango]

Its possible, if they make many adjustments in the story

[tidal shore]

who animated the episodes after episode 1?

[frank musk]

From what ive heard, it was outsourced

[craggy mango]

[hot notch]

I definitely feel like the ending of OnK was Aka being tired of it and just wanting to get it over with and start on a new project.

[long peak]

Shaking my head after every chapter to show that I don't support smoking

(it's very good and it's nice to get a slow burn romance with actual adults)

[tidal shore]

are they actual adults tho

from what I've seen they don't rly act like ones

like that 30 yo in kaiju no 9

[long peak]

I mean, yeah

The 45 year old guy is dense but is super wary about trying to maintain distance

[tidal shore]

bruh

nojoke, something similar happened to me last year

[long peak]

Are you the 45 year old here

[tidal shore]

well, not quite like in the manga but still, the cashier was chatting me up regularly (like, specifically me), we didn't get to spend quality time after work tho 😔

[long peak]

To be fair

As someone who's been a cashier

[tidal shore]

nah im still 2 decades too early for 45

[long peak]

You generally talk regularly with customers you see often and are nice to you

Like this one older lady, I was basically up to date with all of her family drama every week she came in

It was kinda fun

[tidal shore]

I do see that quite often yea, the problem is I wasn't rly a regular, and I kind of observed what's going on for a while there

[long peak]

Issue is when its busy and you don't actually get to just talk to the morning crowd

Or working the rest of the shift that's not that

[tidal shore]

yeeee

peak hours sound like a pain

working near a train or a tram station is also similar, but the peak is every 15 minutes xd

most customers then

[long peak]

Yeah when I was working there as a highschooler I got the worst shifts

I'd have to run from class, change uniform in the car and then clock in not even 30 minutes after school ended

And then I was there working until 1

[tidal shore]

well, was it worth it?

[next crescent]

I remember those days in college

Would wake up at 5:30 to get ready for my 6am biology lab class on Tuesdays and Thursdays and then go throughout the rest of my classes until 1:30, rush home to get my clothes changed and grab another box of ramen, rush to work by 2:30 and then be there until 10

[ionic schooner]

Nsfw artists

💀💀💀

They couldn't keep affording the people that animated the first episode

[tidal shore]

they really hired cost cutting pros for this 💀

[rancid ledge]

I wonder what manga is this

really wish that kuchi sake onna romance manga could be adapted by now

[eternal wyvern]

Oshi no ko's ending was...an ending alright

I remember stopped reading it weekly after ||the Kana-Aqua "date"|| chapter came out, dunno why exactly, but in the middle of the ||movie|| arc I didn't feel like reading the series that much

The live action arc was prolly my favorite of the series

Also no, ||Ruby and Aqua didn't become a thing||. Honestly I would've applaud Aka if he did go ham with it and stick to his guns for the bold move. It's definitely...a thing if it happened, but ig the fan backlash was pretty big, so he scrapped it

It's a 🤷‍♂️ ending for such a series w/ a lot of interesting plot threads and character interactions imo

[long peak]

Behind the supermarket smoking with you

[mighty cape]

Sounds like an overall okay read

[eternal wyvern]

I suggest going into it w/ the knowledge that the ending ||isn't really a "happy end"|| by normal standards, it's kinda ehhh if you're a fan and was reading it weekly

In my opinion at least

https://cdn-useast1.kapwing.com/static/templates/guess-ill-die-meme-template-regular-c27526d3.webp

This was my general reaction to the last arc tbh lol

So many potential plot threads and character interaction payoffs, yet ||didn't get utilized that much in the final arc||, kinda a shame really

[shadow knot]

those fans only realize now akasaka is a hack

[dusty fable]

Ehh, I expected this... The author was flopping secondary plot narratives, so it was 50/50 they would also flop the main story ending. Unforch

[dusty fable]

Looking at NANA...

[dusty fable]

Let me guess... In the first chapter the princess opens a door of her uppermost room in the tower to a burglar

[pine viper]

officially depressed again because of that dandadan episode

[ionic schooner]

But it turns out the burglar is actually an APEX PREDATOR

AND THE PRINCESS IS TOO

AND THEY PLAY APEX LEGENDS TOGETHER (it's an aka thing)

[dusty fable]

I think I saw a movie that started like this... On a late night channel

[ionic schooner]

It was made by aka

Ishigami is an apex pred

Miko iino is an apex pred

I bet miyukis dad is a apex vtuber pred too

I never read oshi no ko but ||kaguyas|| in it so apex legends is canon there too

I bet auqa is an apex pred

[mighty cape]

That never defend tho

It’s on hiatus
