[tidal shore]

she's so like me fr 💀

[mighty cape]

(I have friends in their 30s acting like they’re in their late teens so I can relate)

[tidal shore]

come to think of it, there's this high school setting action manhwa I've read today that had way more epic mature-esque romance

[topaz linden]

I have family in their 30s acting like they're in their late teens

[mighty cape]

Sometimes reality is stranger than fiction

[tidal shore]

true....

[mighty cape]

My own dad is pretty immature too

[tidal shore]

do you get dad jokes with the package?

[tidal shore]

says this after entering a guy's room and sniffing his bed

the expressions are awesome

[topaz linden]

yee, manga's kinda funny cause I think the guy's caught on whats happening feelings-wise (but is just whatever about it), but she hasn't (when it's usually the other way around)

[tidal shore]

it's a sol romcom, this is required by the plot

the authors collectively agreed to make characters suffer it's real this is a real conspiracy i tell u

[topaz linden]

kinda surprised it's run this long with the romance staying as lowkey as it has been tbh

most jump the gun really quick, then spend all their time in the "but do they like me baaaaack?" pit

[mighty cape]

Challenge: find a comedy manga about two opposite sex leads that aren’t romantically inclined towards each other

[topaz linden]

cow day?

[mighty cape]

No one saw that

[topaz linden]

you're opening my eyes to so many new genres

[tidal shore]

cow girl?

[tidal shore]

love is war

it started as one

[mighty cape]

started

Disqualified

[tidal shore]

what u mean all the way through?

it's still awesome tho

[mighty cape]

At least try bruh smh

[tidal shore]

but all the way through wouldn't be a romance manga then

[mighty cape]

that’s the point

[tidal shore]

uhhhh Spirit Circle maybe? they pretty much hated each other all the way

[mighty cape]

I said comedy not romcom

[tidal shore]

hm.

that's tough

the com in romcom makes up 90% of romantic stories

they go like bread and butter

like eggs and salt

like cinnamon toast crunch and milk

(not sponsored)

if it's comedy

ahh I can think of one webtoon

forgor the name tho it was something about vampire witch

[topaz linden]

The World God Only Knows would work I think? He doesn't have feelings for any of the leads.

[tidal shore]

wtf aldonah zero is getting a movie

awesome

I don't even remember it but sitll awesome

[topaz linden]

all I know about that show is that one Sawano track

[tidal shore]

I read the manga, ||he ends up with one of the girls||

[mighty cape]

Weeelll ||he winds up with the first gril he exorcised|| (ending spoilers)

[tidal shore]

wdym exorcised lmao?

[topaz linden]

I wouldn't ||call her a lead in any real way tbh. At best a side character?||

[mighty cape]

Have you read or watched TWGOK?

[tidal shore]

it's been 8 years brother

[topaz linden]

that's the premise of the show. A bunch of spirits fled hell and are in various girls, and he needs to fix their hearts to exorcise the spirits out of them so they can be returned to hell

[tidal shore]

but I've watched the anime (it was horrible on rewatch), and finished with the manga

[mighty cape]

No excuses

He has to make women with evil spirits inside them fall for him so he can save them.

They get amnesia afterwards tho.

[tidal shore]

I-

[mighty cape]

Tho the amnesia part wasn’t in the one shot

[tidal shore]

I forgor 💀

ok now I'm starting to remember

[mighty cape]

It was obviously added in the serialization since it’d be very inconvenient the MC look like a 20 times timer by the end of the series

[tidal shore]

||the girls would lose all their memory after this and that||

||and he would start another route||

[mighty cape]

Bruh you didn’t have to spoiler that

Manga is almost more than a decade old and it’s a staple in the series

[tidal shore]

does Angel Beats count @mighty cape

[dusty fable]

Hmm... Full Metal Panic? I don't think there was romance between main leads

[mighty cape]

No

Cuz Yuzuru and Kanade legit fall for each other

[tidal shore]

there's also Soul Eater

[topaz linden]

Only other examples that I've finished that come to mind are some axed mangas

[mighty cape]

And Angel Beats isn’t a comedy-focused anime

It’s got humor

[tidal shore]

it has a lot of comedy tho

[mighty cape]

But it’s a side bonus

It’s more of a drama series by the end of the day

[tidal shore]

same with Charlotte, but they do fall for each other so it's like yea

[mighty cape]

No one is watching either of these shows thinking they’re slapstick comedy

[mighty cape]

Admit defeat caveman

You’ve got none

[tidal shore]

I am a unmovable

[dusty fable]

Ignored but whatever

[tidal shore]

I am unyielding

[tidal shore]

is it comedy? I don't see the tag

[dusty fable]

Fumofu at least

I remember it, original not that well

[tidal shore]

@mighty cape NGNL they're siblings also not even [redacted]

[topaz linden]

oh yeh, that one works

[tidal shore]

would High School DxD also count? I don't think there's any romance, jsut unyielding teenage sexual obsession

[dusty fable]

Tbh, anime comedy is not memorable. I can barely remember 10 full comedy titles that didn't air in the past year

[mighty cape]

The main lead just recently tied the knot btw

[tidal shore]

man I only know Gintama
don't tell me all those 10 titles are just different Gintama seasons 💀

[mighty cape]

Yeah but that’s the close family loophole

[tidal shore]

Pop Team Epic was awesome

[topaz linden]

there was no talk of no loopholes

[tidal shore]

look man, they could've gone the other route but they didn't, and I respect that

[mighty cape]

siblings are banned

[tidal shore]

being blood related never stopped anyone

haha get rekt

[tidal shore]

you just got auto botted

skibidi gyatt

oh I'd say Another counts as comedy, though it's horror comedy but still

[mighty cape]

More like they cannot be they legally are not allowed to

Why do you think Oreimo had the cop out ending that it did. The author got shutdown and had to rework it.

This is ofc with the ‘regular’ publishing lines this applies to.
(I don’t need to elaborate the cases that are exempt from this tho)

[dusty fable]

With whom, the other main lead?

[mighty cape]

Yes

They legit played super smash bros

Straight up

[tidal shore]

please do elaborate, what other cases are exempt?

[mighty cape]

It hit Twitter not too long ago and people went crazy

[mighty cape]

No

[tidal shore]

anything that falls under the echhi tag?

[mighty cape]

Beyond that

[tidal shore]

softcore?\

[mighty cape]

But we’re not getting into that discussion here

Period

[dusty fable]

You talk about seiyus or what?

[tidal shore]

also idk anything about the copout ending, just some bullshit wedding or something

[mighty cape]

The actual characters

[dusty fable]

Ok, I just didn't understand that sentence

[mighty cape]

It was figurative for ‘that thing’

You know. Babies being delivered by a stork.

[tidal shore]

to be fair you said "romantically inclined to each other" and not "end up in a romantic relationship" therefoer I still win

[mighty cape]

Bs

Take your L

You lose

You win nothing

[tidal shore]

I am making perfect logical sense though!

[mighty cape]

Good day to you sir!

[tidal shore]

has the sibling loophole ever stopped characters from being sis-con and bro-con?

[mighty cape]

[tidal shore]

[tidal shore]

[mighty cape]

damn there really aren't that many pure comedies

Pinging you cuz wholesome sibling hilarity we can all hopefully enjoy @tidal shore @topaz linden @next crescent

[topaz linden]

this looks familiar to me... don't know if I've watched it before (if I have it was ages ago)

[tidal shore]

nice aim

about the other thing you mentioned earlier, does it also include Visual Novel adaptations? @mighty cape

[mighty cape]

Forget it

https://youtu.be/3E_mCawU9u8?si=KaMkdLhsklqmZSgV

[tidal shore]

I gotta know if Visual Novels can get away with it

[mighty cape]

I’m just gonna post stuff about this show instead

[tidal shore]

bro just gave up 😭

[woeful plinth]

oh

[tidal shore]

huh that's still legal in Japan?

[topaz linden]

the death penalty? oh yeah

Japan legal system doesn't fuck around (for better or for worse...)

[tidal shore]

guilty until proven innocent

from what I heard

[topaz linden]

99.9% conviction rate

[shadow knot]

oh I've seen this

was fine

[next crescent]

Yeah, for what he did and why, he deserves the death penalty

It was for such a stupid reason too iirc

Jealousy I think

And it costed 36 people their lives and seriously injured 30+ more

[topaz linden]

and of all the studios, the most non-toxic one too 💀

[next crescent]

Yeah 😭

The one that cared the most about its artists and products

[mighty cape]

https://youtu.be/duQgTw14wRE?si=0EAyR91diMp_gLnq

What a bro

😭

Also do some Chinese schools have their students wear jerseys or sth as the uniform??

Even his sister wears the same thing too along with the other female students

[next crescent]

There's a lot of schools that will have a school uniform

In Australia I think it's more popular with public schools iirc

Japan I think has a ton of schools with uniforms the students need to wear

Idk about China but I'd assume so

[mighty cape]

https://youtu.be/k_dKCIjd5w0?si=sOpH-ZC710H8A2x0

I forget if they just wear this for PE

But they walk to school and leave school wearing either jerseys for fall

Or a t shirt and joggers for summer all the time

Nvm they even attend regular classes in this too

The more you know ig

[dusty fable]

It's not a question of deserving death sentence or not, but the question of how death sentence doesn't contribute to improving situation in any way

If anything, I think psychopaths behaviour needs to be researched so that you can identify and prevent it. Killing such ppl is just removing potential data entries

[next crescent]

There are plenty of psychopaths who get researched and plenty of killers who are investigated outside of countries that would give the death penalty

It's only a small amount vs the number of people who are simply kept in the prison system

That and not every psychopath goes on murder sprees, or sociopaths

Most of them are normal people like you or me

Just with a different way their mind functions

If you want, you can freely research all the papers that have already been written on the psychopathy and sociopathy of murderers

[topaz linden]

it's only 4 democratic countries that do it anyway. Plenty of other countries to sample from

[next crescent]

Exactly

Most countries don't have the death penalty and many of those that legally do don't really use it except for extreme cases

There are plenty of murderers outside of those countries that get studied

And investigated and interrogated and get used for research

Even ones in those countries, there's plenty who don't get the death penalty

[mighty cape]

cyclops or triclops

[dusty fable]

Not that many mass killers to just dispose of them. At least not in terms of data gathering.

[dusty fable]

I read some papers on it. Most of what I read was done using last century understanding of how brain functions

Before we even had MRI to research actual brain activity

[next crescent]

I want you to be aware that every year in the USA there's like 400-600 mass shootings that tend to kill several people

In just the us

Just shootings

There are plenty

[next crescent]

Then focus on the more recent ones that may or may not use the old research as a foundation for what to look for or recontextualize

[dusty fable]

Ngl, that's precisely why I am skeptical about any decent research being done. In case of USA I don't see this problem even being addressed on a large scale

[next crescent]

I don't know what else to tell you man

I'm just saying that just in the USA alone, just mass shootings, there's hundreds of culprits every year

That doesn't count people blowing places up, doesn't count people who go on stabbing or other sprees to kill people, not counting serial killers, and not counting any of the thousands of mass murders that happen outside the USA

And many of those being in states or countries that don't have or actively practice the death penalty outside of very extreme cases

That's all I was saying

As well as the fact that pretty much every single one of them (that didn't off themselves before getting caught for killing so many people) had also been extensively interrogated and investigated before being put to death

[dusty fable]

It's more about weapon controls rather than death penalty. At least as far as psychology goes, death penalty proved to be no deterrent in future cases

[next crescent]

That wasn't what we were talking about

[dusty fable]

My initial point was that death penalty doesn't provide anything compared to other options that don't actually waste this and future human lives

[next crescent]

To ones that wasted dozens if not hundreds of other people's lives

I don't fully support the death penalty, but I do also understand why it's a thing

There's a lot of people who cannot be trusted, especially after doing something so heinous

[rancid ledge]

where are you even finding these manga next?

whats next, my roomate is a xenomorph?

[next crescent]

I'd rather they spend the rest of their lives in prison to "atone" for what they've done, but if they ever escaped or, hell, were given the chance to leave for good behavior as so many tend to- that's putting more people's lives at risk that don't need it

[mighty cape]

most of these are old stuff I've come across in my youth tbh

[next crescent]

Fair

I think the only one I read when I was younger was fairy tail

[dusty fable]

Which is why the research needs to be done for actual prevention of such things.

[next crescent]

And they do

In other news and back onto the topic of this channel, I've been reading this webtoon the past few days and I'm in love with it but it also makes me yearn for what the characters have

It's the usual romance isekai romance stuff that only some people like but the two leads are incredibly healthy individuals with good boundaries, understand and practice consent, and are very, very fucking awesome and I love them

And it makes me wish I had a boyfriend who would treat me and talk to me as kindly as calcion does to selina

[mighty cape]

since you asked: Jingai-san no Yome

[next crescent]

He's so thoughtful and cute and wholesome and funny and kinda stupid but the endearing kind of stupid

I'm almost done with it but I don't want it to end 😭

[rancid ledge]

ooookay interesting

is vagabond gonna get a adaption?

[mighty cape]

😭

[rancid ledge]

whats it about?

[mighty cape]

the characters are set into arranged marriages with quirky monsters.

Most of human characters are male tho. And they act like total 'housewives'.

just one of the human ones is female iirc

and she's being set up with a giant snek

[rancid ledge]

Hah?

[next crescent]

Supposedly it is, by the same team that made arcane

[mighty cape]

one of them gets set up with THIS

a person made of bandages

[rancid ledge]

so people getting into arranged marriages with monsters?

[mighty cape]

p much

[rancid ledge]

so a big ass snake and a pink plushie looking thing...

[mighty cape]

but the main gimmick is the role reversal

the boys are not the 'husbands'

when they meet up they act like they're having a spouse meetup

it's just silly all around

[rancid ledge]

I remember reading fire force

the art is great too

[mighty cape]

mfw when Fire Force ||is a confirmed prequel to Soul Eater|| at the end

[rancid ledge]

it feels like a soul eater remake but its just firefighters with abilities

and demons

[mighty cape]

yeeee. things is, putting aside that it's legit by the same author it adds up since ||a lot of the stuff you're seeing is canonically a 'basis' for what would be the stuff you see in Soul Eater||

even the people you see with Star eyes are ||ancestors to the would-be clans that Black Star was descended from too||

heck

even Death the Kid || was created in the image of Fire Force's protag||

oh yeah and even you even see some of the earlier roots of ||the witches|| that would be pretty prominent as a group in Soul eater also

tho is still blows my mind a bit we legit got to see how ||Lord Death came to be with how goofy he looked by the time Soul Eater happens||

that final page went made hard tho

[next crescent]

LMAO I can't with this fucking princess 😭

She's been ||obsessed with the Duke the entire time|| until the end and on the final chapter during the wedding she just starts screaming ||"WHERE THERE'S MARRIAGE, THERE'S DIVORCE... AND I WILL WAIT FOR YOU FOREVER"|| and I'm losing my fucking mind

Like she's obsessed in a funny way

Not a creepy way

And she's a child so it's like misplaced affections

But I love her she's so funny

This is one of the reasons why I honestly prefer a good Fan TL instead of official TLs. OnK was a lot more fun to read when it was Fan TL'd.

[ionic schooner]

Oshi, you ain't got no ko

Your nickname is now Oshi No Ko!!

Credits roll

[hot notch]

Well the big thing that OnK Fan TL team did was they added like extra page or two per issue explaining references and other things that may have gotten lost in translation

[ionic schooner]

R there any apex legends references in oshi no ko

Like how in love is war apex legends is the main multiplayer game all the gamers play

And ishigami is a crypto main

[topaz linden]

only one I can think of is a lot of the hiatus dates just coincidentally lining up with the Apex tourneys the author entered...

[ionic schooner]

Well that's cuz he hits the max rank every season

And cuz of the tourneys

😭

Actually

||Oshi no ko and love is war is the same universe right||

||So technically all the apex references r in both stories||

https://tenor.com/view/ishigami-yuu-gif-21572808

It has been years since I watched this show bro

😭

[tidal shore]

whAT

[ionic schooner]

||Cuz Kaguya appears in oshi no ko once||

Oshi no ko spoilers

!!!!

[tidal shore]

no way 😭

[topaz linden]

Yee, which means Oshi no Ko's society is technically built around that hilariously interesting alt history worldbuilding that Love is War has

[ionic schooner]

Oshi no ko has the gangs or whatever was in love is war near the end😭

[topaz linden]

(Basically an alt history timeline where the post-WW2 occupational government never broke up the Zaibatsu conglomerates, meaning there's still family dynasty super conglomerates like Kaguya's)

[tidal shore]

awesome

[ionic schooner]

Yeah I have not read this manga since I finished it years ago

I'm reading a new webtoon and already like it

Also an mc who isn't baby faced

Awww

That's cute

[mighty cape]

I know she’s only asking for verbal confirmation, and it kinda makes sense given her background since sirens avoid partnering with humans they’re seriously in love with (cuz they’ll legit want to eat them like crazy), but omg this makes the female lead look dense 😭

OFC HE DOES AJEGWVDNS

[next crescent]

[topaz linden]

Whenever I see the topic of facial hair and manwhas together, my mind always jumps to that one Q&A the author of Another Typical Romance Fantasy did

[next crescent]

LONG LIVE THE PELLUS!!

[next crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/praise-god-hell-on-wheels-the-swede-thor-gunderson-preach-gif-22792314

We need more men with facial hair in manhwa

I agree with the artist from the other post about there being enough smooth faced male leads in these stories

[hot notch]

Just finished rewatching Gundam Unicorn. Man this show is fucking peak. Great themes, amazing animation, and Sawano's best OST make for such a good combination. Also all the background shit happening during the ||Battle of Torrington|| is one of if not the best real robot action sequence ever made. I definitely recommend watching it as the 7 OVAs instead of the 22 episode TV cut though. The TV version is cut really janky and takes you out of the immersion too often.

[next crescent]

[fair wedge]

Irish be like

And germans

[dusty fable]

Unlikely, asians have less facial hair in general, which is why characters won't have much of it either. For the same reason protagonists are generally dark-haired

[topaz linden]

It's not really from a lack of it genetically (a lot can grow them, just not as dense as non-asians). It's very much a cultural preference thing

Korea in particular loves their baby faces lol

[tidal shore]

the czech

fins and poles too

[fair wedge]

I was also gonna say that but was either thinking them or Romanias lmao

Which is also true lmao

[dusty fable]

Kinda corresponds to the beer quality that is sold. I would say Czech, Slovakian, Irish, Spanish and German beer is the best out there. Also the opposite is true for countries with low beer consumption, French, Moldovan, Italian, Greek and Portuguese wine is the best

[dusty fable]

Well, that's the point, it's "not dense". I don't have thick facial hair, I can say it just doesn't look great when beard is not thick. Ofc there are cultural considerations too

[tidal shore]

Surprised to see Momentary Lily that high. The synopsis seemed kinda interesting but I didn't know it was that popular. Might have to check it out.

[dusty fable]

Is this only an anime from a specific license? Seems as if animes like Solo Leveling, Re Zero, Dr Stone Shangri la etc are missing?

[topaz linden]

Seems like the only restriction was "among Japanese viewers"

Or at least, thats the only restriction I'm seeing

[next crescent]

Me thinking back to all of those traditional paintings with men with insanely long beards in China

But yeah, like Jake said it's more of a cultural thing

Tbh, it's hard to call beauty standards a cultural thing since a lot of beauty standards don't age well over the prolonged time. And when Asians are currently following westernized beauty standards

[next crescent]

Beauty has always been a cultural thing though

It's ingrained into different cultures and religions what's seen as beautiful and what influences that

I wonder jjk is there

[mighty cape]

Seems to have outsold Dandandan on that week too.

But I wouldn’t be surprised if DDD sold more back in its first weeks of the anime airing.

WTF

this is great?!

@next crescent

[next crescent]

The CG work for this anime is just on another level it looks so nice

Also the framing and camera work for the scene is amazing, I always felt the wide angle usually used for real life dances never did the beauty of the dances justice

So the way it follows like a drone is wicked nice

[mighty cape]

Ngl as much as I was worried about this show’s use of CG when I first heard about it, it really feels like it’s thanks to the medium they can capture it this well.

While still using the strengths that come with 2D too

But my god I LOVE the part at 0:16 so much

It gets you to wake up and really tune into the magic of her performance

[next crescent]

Oh most definitely

[tidal shore]

the subs

nice choreo

btw do ice skating dancers spin this much?

[next crescent]

Depends on their routine, but usually there's quite a bit of spinning involved from performances I've seen

[mighty cape]

Routine and competition dependent

But yeah you can find this in some skater performances

[mighty cape]

You really that surprised? lol

[woeful plinth]

no lul

[rancid ledge]

oh wtf

[woeful plinth]

stoopid twitter recommended this post lmao

[rancid ledge]

i thought this anime was dead, guess not

[mighty cape]

It def was not
The anime was hugely popular during its air time

Which was sometime before the manga was even announced to have ended

Regardless of how controversial the actual ending was

[mighty cape]

https://youtu.be/uLyGdYvbboM?si=BX1n439xkmMdD9s4
here’s a funky example @next crescent

But it’s especially nice is that you see a ‘personality’ being portrayed in these performances

I’m really looking forward to seeing if the staff at ENGI continue to capture that essence with the indiviso kid skaters the more they continue to adapt it

[tidal shore]

and now instroducing the spinner

kc will get it

[next crescent]

Yeah..

I really wish they hadn't changed the tutorial

It was such a classic

[tidal shore]

huh they did???

[next crescent]

Yeah, the og tutorial was remade in like 2021

So it's longer and more in depth

Or maybe it was 2020

I can't remember the year just that the classic one got changed 😭

[tidal shore]

how come I haven't heard of it 😭

[next crescent]

Around the same time when they changed the "starter pack" of maps to be a variety of ones from a list rather than a full set list of maps

Idk

It was voiced by pishifat too iirc

[tidal shore]

I found it

yeah no I prefer the old on, less yapping and more to the point

[mighty cape]

Do you like super tall female characters

[next crescent]

Yeah

Why

[tidal shore]

you get more waifu per waifu

it's a win

[next crescent]

True

[mighty cape]

Edited my message a bit

[next crescent]

There's one in a webtoon I'm reading and she's like a fucking tower next to any normal person

[mighty cape]

Just curious

[next crescent]

Is she from breaking the boundary

[mighty cape]

Nah. Blood-C.

[next crescent]

Ah okay

[tidal shore]

oh I can't find the old tutorial now 😔
new one is bundled with the new releases now

[mighty cape]

Imagine BtB but with way more gratuitous gore.

But I heard the movie version is way better cuz the TV series drags.

[next crescent]

Anyways, calla is hot

[mighty cape]

Is it like one those shoujo ones

[next crescent]

Obsessed but hot

[next crescent]

Yeah, which is the unfortunate part

[mighty cape]

Is that a gunshot scar on his neck? 😭

[next crescent]

Super tall

[next crescent]

Her* and what 😭

Oh her earring?

[mighty cape]

Damn, got me good

[next crescent]

She has an earring that has a star with a dangly bit of metal under it

[mighty cape]

She looks very handsome

[next crescent]

She isss

[tidal shore]

I changed my mind, the old tutorial was yapping too much too

[tidal shore]

sauce?

[next crescent]

The Dark Lord's Confession

[tidal shore]

was she milk maxxing during childhood?

[next crescent]

Actually, that hasn't been revealed yet

[tidal shore]

damn

wondering cuz the Dutch eat the most dairy, might be related

[next crescent]

Her past is largely a mystery outside of her interactions with current characters and one major past character

But she herself and what she is is still a mystery

[tidal shore]

im reading to find out

will follow closely

[next crescent]

I'd recommend it if you're fine with blood and a little bit of romantic confusion and the negatives that come with it

Yee it's not done yet

[mighty cape]

Is it a yuri story?

[next crescent]

Technically yes and no?

The person making the story said to assume every character is bi

So literally anything goes

[mighty cape]

those are fun

[tidal shore]

I'm fine with it but uhjhhhhhh what is ancient magus bride doing here

awesome art

I might actually stick with this one if it's not too webtoon-esque

[mighty cape]

dude dude iot start with academy exam announcement this is already peak

[topaz linden]

Such a skill issue

[next crescent]

It's not, so it's good

Some of the twists in it so far are also just

https://tenor.com/view/chefs-kiss-french-chef-perfect-dish-excellent-food-perfection-gif-20341505

[topaz linden]

https://tenor.com/view/gasp-shookt-omg-surprised-shocked-gif-10456724239428361083

plot twists do be nice, tho I'm also guilty of deliberately reading shit you can see the ending of a mile away

[next crescent]

https://tenor.com/view/dance-happy-dance-spongebob-and-patrick-gasp-gif-27689153

[topaz linden]

the one I'm reading right now literally has the character "seeing" the ending and despite the silhouettes you can clearly tell who everyone is lol

[next crescent]

But yeah, some of these twists I don't think could be seen very easily, which I like

Others are very apparent though and have a lot more foreshadowing to them

And then it's just the motivations that are the twist

Or are just plain missing for when the twist is revealed to the characters themselves instead of the reader

[topaz linden]

Ex: One of the upcoming twists is (I'm 99.9% certain) that these two are related

MC: Oh, I grew up in an orphanage after being found on a river 13 years ago. I'm a medicine prodigy with a high superiority complex, but I'm a commoner.
The doc: My wife's baby went missing 13 years ago while she was out at sea. I'm a medicine prodigy with a high superiority complex, but I'm a noble and the bad guy told me my daughter's hair was my wife's blonde color, not my brown.

[next crescent]

LOL

Ah those kinds of twists

Yeah there's like one or two of those in here

But most of them are either actually hidden with very subtle hints or just come out of fucking nowhere

But still make sense

[topaz linden]

yee, those are typically more ideal
This is very much junk food manwha

[next crescent]

Yeah no worries lol

[mighty cape]

Are there any hot guys

[topaz linden]

But the MC is smug in a way I find very amusing, so it's fine

She did. But the Demi-human he was fighting prior didn’t so kinda checks out.

Thanks manhuaians!!!

[craggy mango]

Newest Spy Family only has 5 pages smh

The inflation is getting crazier everyday

It was nice chapter tho with a great lore

[dusty fable]

Hmm, I kinda miss the name of classic tracks in Medalist. They should have subbed them in. Usually, the program follows the track in terms of storytelling, so if viewer doesn't know the story or the name they kinda miss out

In episode 5 || Danse Macabre kinda sets the whole tone of Hikaru's interaction with her choreographer ||

[dusty fable]

And then there is Apothecary Diaries, where nothing is as simple

[dusty fable]

The most complex moves in skating involve jumping and/or spinning, so naturally they take central place in anime.

2020 toilet paper meta

[next crescent]

That was no joke, a week into the panic I went to the store just to grab something and half of the shelves were entirely empty and there was absolutely no toilet paper or paper towels

Like I went for regular grocery shopping and got back home with like 5 cans of chef boyardee and some frozen dinners that were still left 😭

[tidal shore]

how much toilet papper do people use

1 roll should last 1 person a month, you don't gotta stock up so hard 💀

[next crescent]

It was the panic buy for a lot of people, because there was a symptom of diarrhea and everyone went "shit everyone is buying so much toilet paper, I need to get some before there isn't any left" and would stock up on it

My mom had several packages of toilet paper once it was in stock again at the store, but there was a limit of 1-2 packages per customer depending on availability

[tidal shore]

zamn

[rancid ledge]

would anyone watch sao again or the abridged sao?

[topaz linden]

I honestly just direct people straight to the abridged personally

[tidal shore]

would you rather watch ghost stories dub or ghost stories sub

same energy, 2 different shows and genres

comedy is a bit ubiquitous so I think it would win overall

[shadow knot]

tough call, I would pick neither and direct others to hellsing ultimate if they want edgy or its abridged version if they want funny

[rancid ledge]

oh hell no

[tidal shore]

depends on if it's sub or dub

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

[hot notch]

Ghost stories is completely different between the Sub and Dub

Sub tries to take itself seriously and flopped

Dub was told to do whatever they wanted as long as the character names and the general plot stayed the same

I'd send a compilation video but it probably has a ton of words of the ban list and I don't need another warning

Yea looking at the banned word list half the show probably wouldn't be allowed

[ionic schooner]

The scene where the kid is running on a track bro

What the person says is so out of pocket but it's also so funny

😭 😭 😭

[next crescent]

It 1000000% does

[hot notch]

Yea I didn't even get out of the auto warn section before I found a word that I'm pretty sure is in there.

[next crescent]

So we've known about this for a while and I don't why they're trying to act like we haven't in the press release.

Also in the official press release thing they say "This will be it's first live-action film" which is a straight up lie. Don't be cowards Bandai. G-Savior will haunt your nightmares forever.

is he actually going to get to 100 or will the author just

copout

I think the author gonna make it

But definitely they gonna milk it by making some filler

[tidal shore]

watch the author make all 100 endings for different girls like the bokuben guy

TL;DR: Movie follows several immortals over the course of history, who can only be killed by beheading. When one immortal kills another, the victor absorbs their power/knowledge, and when only one remains, they'll receive the "Prize" (divine power). As their numbers thin, they're compelled by a force to seek out other immortals and fight.

It's honestly 50/50 nowadays if I watch a show in dub or sub, there's some really good ones now

[craggy mango]

Grandpa, we are no longer in 2024 now

And yes some people still hating on dubs

Yea I have to say that of there was any benefit of the Funimation/Crunchyroll merger is was that the ratio of good dubs to bad dubs significantly improved.

animators how the fuck do you fumble a creature

[topaz linden]

Generally by being overbooked and underpaid lol

It also was only intended as your typical 1 season "here's a teaser, go buy the manga/light novel" marketing tool. Those are usually pretty crap quality

[rancid ledge]

thank god theyre not seven deadly sins...

thoughts on the mc?

[tidal shore]

no

[tidal shore]

dragon lmao

dragon chin olympics

[tidal shore]

7 deadly sins is peak, just read the manga

[rancid ledge]

these two are gonna be on my list

[topaz linden]

Edgelord whose harem feels very forced lol

But I do respect in the light novel that he's pretty loyal to his main girl/they have a nice supportive dynamic with each other. His one decent character trait lol

[rancid ledge]

bro is so cold, he give no shits

[topaz linden]

Nah, dude's just awkward
Legit forgot how to interact with people

[rancid ledge]

isnt that like every anime character?

[topaz linden]

Nah, just the bland ones

Or at least, in decent shows, even the awkward ones arent this exaggerated lol

i like frieren but there's a reason it's so popular with fascists specifically.

Do you guys think that the idea of an ontologically evil race subconsciously influenced the minds of those who read/watch fiction who have this kind of race?

[topaz linden]

I feel like it'd just enable/reinforce preexisting biases rather than make new ones tbh

[outer scaffold]

So is it bad or not?

[topaz linden]

The show? Not really. What people attach/bring to their viewing of a show doesn't really change if a show is good or bad imo

Like, Girls und Panzer is also popular with that crowd because it compliments German WW2 machinery, but that's more on the audience than the show...

[outer scaffold]

What about the idea of the ontological evil race?

[topaz linden]

Lord of the Rings did it first lol

Literally the entire premise of the Orcs

It's a useful storytelling tool, and typically used to represent some metaphorical force of nature/state of being.

Whether it's good or bad is ultimately up to how the story uses it/what the audience brings to their viewing of it

[long peak]

its been a thing since the beginning of time with demon stories. I feel like if someone was to get their minds changed by frieren, they were already going in with preconcieved biases

also its not like theyre totally not setting up for there to actually be a good demon or anything

@topaz linden YT hates either me or you rn because I liked your new vid and it says 0 lmao

[topaz linden]

Not sure which of the two they're referring to, but I did a Lighter (ZZZ) AMV ~5 days ago, then a Mizuki (Genshin) edit earlier today 👀
Lighter: #981316966457409596 message
Mizuki: #981316966457409596 message

I was talking about the Mizuki one

[ionic schooner]

Why can't I find this channel in my channels

I click on it and then swipe right and it's gone

[topaz linden]

Are you not able to view it at all (like, the link doesnt work), or are you saying it's just not showing up in the left sidebar?

[next crescent]

I saw the title and thought you were gonna use this song
https://youtu.be/47dtFZ8CFo8?si=gv4BDGuo3X5c8Y8t

Was curious to see how you were going to mash the two together but I was wrong as always

[topaz linden]

Classic Kc skill issue

[next crescent]

But it's a decent song

😔

[ionic schooner]

Nah I see the videos it's just the channel isn't in my sidebar

[topaz linden]

Might have to go here and add it manually

Discord be weird sometimes

[ionic schooner]

Ic

I think I'ma keep it off cuz I don't really do art and videos and stuff

[topaz linden]

😔 I see how it is

[next crescent]

Imagine not frequenting the art corner enough to have it on your channels list 😔

Did you mute the entire section and make all muted channels hidden?

That might be it
