On a related note, totally havent spent the last 48 hours putting together a Vivy-style Genshin OP. Totally 👀

It's honestly refreshing after watching so much harem stuff that there's a protag who actually loves his girl enough to be vanilla.

[solemn wedge]

same

By the way , i'm looking for an anime like Isekai wa Smartphone to Tomo ni .Do you guys have any suggestions ?

[hot notch]

I think it's called death parade though a parallel world Rhapsody. My translation might be a little off there but it fits into the same generic isekai genre

[solemn wedge]

i watched it already , this anime is really good

i'll be very happy if you give me others suggestions

[shadow sleet]

That looks like the type of broth thats super thick 🤢. I dont like those it feels like the broths gone bad

Might just be the one ive had thats gone bad lmao

[hot notch]

Are you looking for another isekai or does any fantasy harem work

[solemn wedge]

i'm into both of them ❤️

[hot notch]

"The hidden dungeon only I can enter" isn't an isekai but it's honestly indistinguishable from an isekai. It's also a bit more echii than the other two but fits into a similar story type. "The fruit of evolution" has some of the lowest quality animation out of any of these types of show that I've seen but that honestly works more in its favor because it's so bad it's funny. "By the grace of the gods" is less of a harem but is a super wholesome isekai.

I should also probably add that "The fruit of evolution" is a show best watched by turning off your brain and not thinking about what's going on

Both of the demon lord shows "How not to summon a demon lord" and "Demon lord retry" would probably fit the bill but "how not to summon a demon lord" is the better show imo (the echii and degen is heavy with this one though)

[solemn wedge]

i watched all of them except "By the grace of the gods" , i will watched it now , thank you alots

Nah, this aint Nagatoro. She's surprisingly wholesome and supportive of him, so he goes the extra mile to help her out 👀

Only thing she bullis him into is taking her measurements himself

The world could use more grimdark fantasy anime with deep worldbuilding. True 👀

[severe tinsel]

Lmao

[topaz linden]

Mankind stole fire from the dragon gods, creating a time of great prosperity from its light and warmth, but its slowly going out, and the current civilizations crumbling with it.

The games generally give you the choice of sacrificing yourself as fuel to keep the fire going a little longer, or letting it go out and starting an Age of Dark (it's not actually known if the Age of Dark neccesarily means the end of the world, or just the current world, hence its debated whether an unsustainable series of self sacrifices to keep it going or risking the unknown is the better moral choice).

[hot notch]

That might be the best summary of the dark souls storyline I've ever heard

Android girls with guns in them. You're thinking of Girls und Panzer

It's really lazy animation too 😅

It's a shame, cause the animations from the game itself aren't even halfbad. I don't care at all for the story, but I'd still watch the show if it had stuff like this

and hes also (spoilers for the end of demon slayer) || like one of the only people who have become a hashira and survived in the end pre timeskip ||

[ocean dagger]

I wouldn't necessarily call it "boring" since it is following the in-game plot as far as I can tell. But yeah it is pretty boring, but its just slowly ramping itself up.

[topaz linden]

I meant the "boring" part more in the visual department (story would be okay if the acting was a bit better). The action is fairly unimaginative in terms of directing (not much camera movement, lots of "standing still and shooting" with some awkward cuts)

[ocean dagger]

oooh yeah the camera movement is a bit awkward especially in the most recent episode. The visual for the most part seems fine to me but it could be better in some parts.

the only thing that really stands out is just the op/ed

[topaz linden]

Honestly, the scenes would be salvageable with just a bit better cuts + one or two more angles. But yeh, OP and ED are the stand outs

Example of what I mean: Black Lagoon had a similar scene to one of the Girls Frontline bits with the maid robots. Hopefully shows what I mean by 1 or 2 more angles + a little more dynamic cutting

[ocean dagger]

yeah I get what you mean now, it just doesn’t feel polished in a way. I’m hoping that Arknights goes above and beyond in the near future

Also how in the world did they not get hit once 😭

[cloud iris]

I just watched all of re zero season 1 in under 24 hours is that bad

[stiff birch]

Steins;Gate

[stiff birch]

well this show loves to give you a perception then throw it all away with big reveals, so trying just 3 episodes is just unfair

but you do you, watch what you enjoy

[mighty cape]

What's some good, underrated anime?

[stiff birch]

does Symphogear counts as underrated?

it is a fun series but you sometimes need to shut your brain down with 5 seaons of total, but if we talk about score (ratings), only the last season scores decent with 8+ in MAL, the rest of seasons are about 7 ish

[woeful sonnet]

what kind of crack is cloverworks feeding their animators holy shit

[stiff birch]

now if only they could give Wonder Egg some justice back then

[hot notch]

Cloverworks is doing Sono Bisque doll aswell right? I think they also have something else going on this season.

[topaz linden]

Getting some Children of the Sea vibes from that (in a good way)

[hot notch]

Children of the sea?

[ember cairn]

Dude, i really dont know why, but I dont like the character design of this anime

[hot notch]

Nvm I know what this is now but I thought it was something completely different

I was thinking of the one anime where there's the sea people and the land people, and the sea people's school gets shut down. I can't remember the name though

[topaz linden]

Really well animated (to the point it almost broke the studio) anime movie by Studio 4°C.
https://youtu.be/ctnC6NGNcsk

[hot notch]

I figured it out. It's a lull in the sea.

[topaz linden]

Ah yes, Nagi no Asukara. Honestly a really slept on series (I feel like its premise has only gotten more relevant in recent years. It's aged really well)

Yeh, Lull in the Sea

love its opening.

[hot notch]

I watched it on a whim on netflix and ended up really enjoying it

The whole ||time skip part|| for season 2 was really cool

Manaka best girl btw

[topaz linden]

It's honestly pretty slept on. Wish more would watch it, but its a hard recommendation (at least, one of those where its hard to sell without spoiling things)

[hot notch]

And it has one of the most complex love polygons out of any anime (can't call it a triangle because there's too many sides)

[topaz linden]

Can't remember if it was a hexagon or heptagon, but yeh

[hot notch]

Well it was a almost a straight a line and then ||season 2 happened|| and everything became much more complicated

Because everyone liked someone who was assumed to like someone else and that went in a straight line up to ||tsumugu||

Also just something I noticed in that anime was that almost everyone has a 3 syllable name. I know 3 syllable names are common but it seemed to be way more prolific here.

[topaz linden]

Wouldnt be surprised if that was intentional lol

Well made stuff like that tends to have lots of little details

[cloud iris]

What’s it about

I think I saw the first ep but that was a while ago

[shadow knot]

what kind of underrated anime you looking for?

for shounen I can say Beck for some down to earth slice of life music kinda vibe and Cross Game for baseball romance

or you can peep at this "omg my taste is so good and I'm definitely not an elitist" list

[topaz linden]

Another SoL underrated recommendation: Interviews with Monster Girls
Another one that's kinda hard to sell just from a one to two line summary

^(also has a really good English Dub for those who prefer those)

I'd have to watch it again to see if it actually served a purpose but one thing I just thought of was that ||everyone related to the sea people|| has a 3 syllable name. I'd have to rewatch to confirm that though.

[hot notch]

Could you still post it somewhere so we could see it?

[hot notch]

While this can't be taken as definitive proof ||Sayu the only one of the group who's full land people|| has a 2 syllable name

TL;DR: Saw the "Divine Damsel of Destruction" cutscene and thought "Finally, I can recreate one of the intros I've been waiting to attempt for so long... Vivy..."

Aniplex is super protective of its soundtrack tho

But yeah, took my best shot 👀 (considered doing the color filters as well, but with Genshin's colorful visuals, it looked off, so I passed)

[topaz linden]

Some random reccomendations:

Ongoing:
Sousou no Frieren: Follows the elf of the Hero's party several decades after the defeat of the Demon King, as her companions age around her. A bittersweet series.
The Eminence in Shadow: Dude has Overlord-style "everything I do ends up appearing as part of my master plan" luck (unaware of this of course), that basically result in all of his chuuni delusions actually proving true ("evil demon cult on the loose", "random student being a spy", etc), all while he simply believes everyone around him is just playing along with his delusions.
Arifureta: Not joking. The manga actually is really well done imo (has some gorgeous artwork) and the story is decently entertaining to not bring the action down.

Completed:
ReLife: Unwilling NEET (got trauma and fired, can't get rehired) gets second chance at life through a company that offers him a guaranteed job if he can successfully complete their program that de-ages people and puts them through a year of high school to "rehabilitate" them into society. Premise sounds strange, but I promise it's 100% great and honestly really hard-hitting.
Maoyuu Maou Yuusha: Hero goes to slay the Demon King, only for the Demon King to be a waifu that wants the Hero's help to end the war and implement societal reform. Pretty nice "realistic kingdom management" series with enough action and stakes to keep it exciting.

Has a pretty good anime adaption too 👀

yee

the story's actually pretty good too 👀

[sonic echo]

Sad theres no s2

Just finished that recently

Most comments Ive seen were hating it because it got made instead of Spide and Wolf s3 I think

[topaz linden]

Yeah... the ending was really nice, so it's a shame we're not getting it adapted

...then there's Shield Hero Season 2. Which honestly, I feel like people are going to go into with the wrong expectations for the series lol

Coming out this year 👀 Shit's gonna be weird

[sonic echo]

There’s a manga?

[topaz linden]

yeh, its an older series, so that's sadly the case

[sonic echo]

Time to read

[ocean dagger]

true 😳

[topaz linden]

Yep, now time to go for some Dr Strange-esque multiverse shenanigans

I think the folks who watch Shield Hero S2 expecting more of S1's style content are going to be disappointed.

[topaz linden]

Wasn't joking earlier btw about the math thing

[shadow knot]

[topaz linden]

Didn't even know you could put formulas in the text box til I looked up how tf to do a countdown in a video editor

[topaz linden]

First one

Same author and title, so I'm guessing the aggregator accidentally grabbed the same manga from another site (MangaBat grabs manga from other sites like MD)

Nope, gotta look elsewhere for em lol

Somethin like that lol. I just searched "Chapter 57 maouyuu maou yuusha" and went with the first result.
It's only 3 chapters

Mangadex?

I use mangareader.to

Honestly, googling "Maouyuu maou yuusha manga online" would pull up several websites as well

Not that hard to find

[hot notch]

Did you try mangareader?

[hot notch]

@topaz linden do you think my NagiAsa theory holds or am I completely off the mark

They had all of solo leveling and that finished recently so I thought they'd be up to date with more things

I can't rn because I'm in school but can you check if Ch 78 from mushoku is on that website yet?

Check the settings bar there's a couple different ways you can read the stuff

[shadow knot]

o never heard

[dawn socket]

1. because the chainsaw dog (pochita) was inside of him and hes the actual chainsaw devil (the one with a gut scarf)
2. it’s badass

ye

the dog had to fight makima + 3 other devils

[dawn socket]

oh and also the guys who appeared in the makima vs denji fight were there too

pochita ran away and denji found him and thats how the story begins

one thing that isnt explained tho is how chainsaw devil can erase other devils from existing just by eating them

its bullshit but whatever probably will be explained

yeah its just weird

apparently theres devils with the names of the primal fears tho so maybe the chainsaw devil is one of them

like https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brainsnacks/201203/the-only-5-fears-we-all-share

i just found out minami has a new song 4 days ago

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kCAR6BGPBxY

[hot notch]

So is there seven brother and seven sister or seven siblings total? Because the way that's worded is very misleading if the cover is all the characters because that's six girls and one guy (it's hard to tell with the one in the back so it might be 5 and 2).

[dusky trout]

Seven siblings total

I think its 2 guys 5 girls

[hot notch]

I'm thinking the second one is the one in the back

[dusky trout]

BANGERR SONG AND VISUALS

[dusky trout]

Well this will be in Young Animal so itll be more spicier

[plucky mantle]

SO TRUE. i dont even understand the song yet, havent seen the translations. i just know it touched my soul in every bit

[hot notch]

Kono machi ni hare wa konai is Minami's best song imo so there's no way it couldn't be good.

[hot notch]

The Minami-verse thickens

It looks like the girl from the Drop MV at the end but the underside of her hair is blue and not yellow like it was in Drop

[plucky mantle]

ayo that's what i thought as well 🤝

[hot notch]

Drop MV for those who want it
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpRcRYoHqxE

[hot notch]

I'm rewatching the drop MV because I'm pretty sure that yellow orb showed up aswell

it does

[hot notch]

So I'm going to go full theory mode for a second. Minami's whole first album (the one with crying for rain) follows the story of one girl. This story culminates with the single, Waiting for Rain, in which we are also introduced to the animation style used for the Drop album (even though it's a single Waiting for Rain is the first song on Drop). Both Drop and Kono machi hare wa konai talk about "this town" and how they'll meet again. Now for the Drop MV there's two possibilities on how it ends. Either the one in the mask is the girl and she's coming to terms with herself and with whatever power that yellow orb gave her, or my theory, she'd already dealt with that and the person in the mask is the guy from the Konomachi MV (The evidence for this is the eyes behind the mask are the same as the guy's when he's using his powers). If it's the first theory then I think it's the Drop girl going to all these different places to help people under the influence of these orbs. If it's the second theory then I would go further and say that the Drop girl is the same girl from the entire first album and that the guy is the same from guy from Waiting for Rain. The "meet again in another town" is some sort of allusion as to what happens to them in Freiheit (Freiheit is between Waiting for Rain and Drop in the album order but doesn't have an MV) and now they continually meet again in different places possibly even as reincarnations. Irregardless the pink spirit thing in the Konomachi MV was totally the soul of that dude's girlfriend so make of that what you will.

Really unique art style (that the studio actually lands this time, Rip Hand shakers) with some really fluid and sometimes cultured animation

yeah its a shame how bad handshakers went

[shadow knot]

• Hyouka
  It's an episodic SoL about The Classics Clubs solving fun, school mysteries in a creative and invigorating flow of deduction. It also has amazing shots and cinematography in the mix; I could argue that this is subjectively peak Kyoto Animation

• OddTaxi
  An odd mystery series, yet fresh and dialogue driven. It consistently builds up its plot and characters while tying the knots together to bring an enjoyable ride. It's a structural achievement, and the best anime mystery I've seen

honorable mentions (only worth considering if you already watched a good amount of anime): ID: INVADED, ACCA: 13-ku Kansatsu-ka, and Paranoia Agent (this one's also really damn good if you're in for a crazy psychological experience)

[shadow knot]

Sustaxi

sustaxi best mystery

[stiff birch]

their animation is great but I can't stand the color choice and hues there, I ended up dropping it bc watching those scenes in that anime somehow makes me dizzy

[topaz linden]

Kanata No Astra: Lost in Space - Group of teens on a future sci fi field trip to an alien planet are caught in a wormhole and sent to the edges of known space. With only a derelict ship they discovered to get home, they must jump from alien planet to alien planet to resupply on food and water, all the while figuring out who among them is sabotaging their journey.

^Has a really unique premise, some unexpected twists, and some grade-A directing (any anime willing to do things like sacrifice OP/EDs Re:Zero-style and merge episodes together if it helps the story gets bonus points in my book)

[stiff birch]

Astra is a good series indeed
it's a simplistic, family friendly sci-fi mystery, younger audiences will have an easy time on enjoying the plot
I'm not saying "meh it's not complicated so it is bad", in fact something like Astra is a rare item, a good series where huge age portion of audience could enjoy it

[shadow knot]

Ad Astra gotta be one of the anime I gotta check out
Heard the last few episodes weren’t it tho but another friend recently watched it and gave it a 10

[topaz linden]

I mean, I gave it a 10 too

[shadow knot]

so I shall see in the eventual future

just go to zoro.to

no ads

ez

[topaz linden]

(to be fair, gave it a FMAB-esque 10, not a Odd Taxi or Vivy 10)
Didn't do anything groundbreaking, it just focused on doing what it did very cleanly/well done

[shadow knot]

o i see

[stiff birch]

Astra's opening looks simple but the foreshadowing it has is great, I love tiny details like it
for example, ||the name thing||

[topaz linden]

Yee, problem with it tho is its very mystery dependent, so its hard to hype it up without spoiling

The way its paced/directed tho reminded me a lot of Re:Zero Season 1

[stiff birch]

yea, that series started out as an underdog back when it was airing thanks to... no hype at all

[topaz linden]

Every season needs a slept on show I suppose

[stiff birch]

seems so

still remember I enjoy Wonder Egg and thinks that it was the sleeper of the season, turns out the staff messed em up

[topaz linden]

Yee, the ending got bogged down quite a bit from what I've heard

(Also, just checked what else came out that season... no wonder it got slept on.
Vinland Saga S1, Dr. Stone S1 and How Heavy are your Dumbbells...)

O Maidens in your Savage Season came out then too, but I think that got slept on too sadly

[stiff birch]

that's true
the show has been tumbling down since ||Frill|| shows up in the plot, her existence throws anything that should've been good and be the main theme of the show

first half of the show has been proven successful on giving the perception to the audience that this show will talks about modern and real life problems and mixes it to some supernatural themes

||suicide/depression, self h-, LGBT and stuffs were the early theme on the show||

if only they stayed on that topic till the end and gave the audience the rightful answer of all those bad things, granted this title got a chance of being one of AOTS back then sheesh

since that show and Promised Neverland, I always reconsider any show made by CloverWorks nowadays lol

Bunny Girl Senpai is still their best anime for me

[shadow knot]

Lmfao it’s the director’s comment in one interview that kinda had me go wtf and hate WEP even more

.

[stiff birch]

bruh wtf

[shadow knot]

[Interviewer] And the work touches on the theme of "impulsivity", too, right. And that's tied into the reason why all the ones who come out of the eggs are young women.
[Nojima]Some of them even hold hands and jump off together! It's not quite the same as holding hands and going to the bathroom together, but I think it's a sensation that male society really can't grasp. When men commit suicide, it's because they're really suffering under bullying, for instance, or they're crushed under debt...... I think it's mostly due to logical reasons like that. But girls, well, it's strange to call it "emotional", but I was thinking about how that motivates them, and the uncertain feeling I got from that is what made me start working on this story.

[stiff birch]

almost thought "this is it, the kind of anime I've been waiting for, something that has a grasp on today's aspects and modern problems"

but after reading that commentary... damn

[shadow knot]

The biggest red flag for me is when they filled one episode with a full recap out of the 12 eps

and when they introduced Frill too

CloverWorks screwed up big time and their ova for it made it worse

[stiff birch]

imo since Frill comes in, it was already a red flag
knowing this show only got 12 episodes in, why the hell they introduce a whole new element for the plot near the end

[shadow knot]

yeah

[topaz linden]

I mean, to be fair, I almost feel recaps are like... hard written into some anime contracts

Like... Vivy has a recap episode

[shadow knot]

Vivy had 13 episodes, the recap episode is not included into the original 13 count

Wonder Egg Priority had 12 episodes, episode 8 is a literal recap and part of the 12 episode count

86 had recaps/special episodes too but are not part of the episode count, though Part 2's specials can be arguably considered as part of the count because since there're two specials and they're only going to air the last two episodes in March, that's that

[tidal kelp]

I dropped 86 lowkey. Does it get any better? Same with To your eternity. I dropped it at like episode 8 cause it felt slow.

[stiff birch]

which episode of 86 you watch the last?

[shadow knot]

86 is like "ok"
Part 2 went kinda hard tho

[stiff birch]

some ppl who read the novel said this is second to Attack on Titan in terms of worldbuilding, so I'm looking forward it
1st season was good, 2nd season is insane and I hate to wait till March just for the last episode to air

[shadow knot]

They should've had eye catches like they had with AoT detailing the mechanics of the factions and mechas

because I'm still not entirely familiarized with the worldbuilding
but it has a lot of good potential

[stiff birch]

indeed

[mighty cape]

wtf is to your eternity. It should be named pain and despair

Jake do you know what chapter of manga that the anime leaves off on?

[topaz linden]

From the first reddit result:

Technically it ends around chapter 41, but the ending of the anime is slightly different.

You should start around chapter 38ish if you don't wanna read the Manga from the beginning

[hot notch]

[ocean dagger]

season 3 when 😔

[hot notch]

Seriously I just caught up with the manga (it's monthly so this is gonna kill me) and there's so much good stuff to adapt here.

[hot notch]

I will gladly give Krul the honor of second best girl

[hot notch]

https://tenor.com/view/anime-dance-pink-vampire-spin-gif-16604936

[ocean dagger]

the manga is still ongoing?

[hot notch]

Yea they just ended the current arc so it was a good place to catch up

[ocean dagger]

oh nice

i didn’t expect it to be still ongoing

[hot notch]

I honestly don't know where it goes from here because we don't know who's plan is still in motion at this point and who is pulling the strings

[ocean dagger]

i need to catch up on the manga tbh

[hot notch]

There's 110 chapters rn

Have you read any of the manga or just the anime?

[ocean dagger]

i’ve read some of the manga and all of the anime

only to see what would happen next because i was curious

[hot notch]

Yea so I was told to read from ch 38 if you watched the anime because the aftermath of the whole airport thing is somewhat different in the manga

[ocean dagger]

yeah that’s what i’ve realized

maybe that’s the cause for the anime not getting a season 3 😭

[hot notch]

Well now that that's taken care of

[ocean dagger]

i love you lurker mods 😳

[hot notch]

I reported it via modmail

[queen glacier]

feel free to continue

[hot notch]

Thanks for the help

[queen glacier]

i'll forward your thanks!

[ocean dagger]

but yeah shinoa best girl 😌

[hot notch]

The writing in the subsequent part of the manga isn't the greatest but the action and worldbuilding mystery carry it through what the writing lacks.

[ocean dagger]

fr though

it was fun seeing the main cast of characters get beat up tbh

it makes you more emotionally attached to them

[queen glacier]

no problem from artoriel the mod team

[dawn socket]

wait thats the vampire mf from seraph????

[hot notch]

It's kinda refreshing for once to see the main group of characters lose you know? There's so many shounen where the main group will always overcome the adversity but in owari no seraph they're just kinda pulled along for the ride whether they like it or not.

[dawn socket]

i forgot about her since i stopped watching seraph for awhile lmao

[ocean dagger]

exactly, it gives you a breath of fresh air not knowing that every shounen mc group wins every match they come across 😭

[hot notch]

Everything they do is part of one person's plan or another's and it's a constant struggle to figure out who they can trust and who they can't

[ocean dagger]

teaches some life lessons

[hot notch]

I mean it does fall into that trope a little bit later, some characters get haphazard power ups that feel a little cheap and then ultimately mean nothing but it still feels weird

[ocean dagger]

as long as it keeps that “struggle” and “losing” factor im happy honestly

[hot notch]

Yu's last two power ups were pretty good though

https://tenor.com/view/asuramaru-asura-ashera-tepes-anime-owari-no-seraph-gif-17557750

Ashuramaru best gi- oh wait he's a dude

[ocean dagger]

LOL

i thought he was a girl at first

[hot notch]

They did really well developing his character but I'm not a huge fan of what they did with it recently but it still sorta makes sense I guess

How far did you get into the manga?

Because I can't really talk about anything else without spoiling

[ocean dagger]

i believe I left off at the part where || they all ran away to a faraway land with their group, then they restrained Yu inside of some cave or something ||

[hot notch]

Oh boy so you barely read anything after the anime

thats like chapter 42

[ocean dagger]

yeah I have a lot to catch up on

[hot notch]

almost 70 chapters

I read them all in less than a day and a half so you could probably catch up pretty fast too

It just sucks that it's monthly and not atleast bi-weekly

[hot notch]

They are indeed one and the same

Oversized hoodie Krul is much better than goth Krul though

[ocean dagger]

i’ll get around to it, but i’m currently reading another manga rn

[hot notch]

But Hoodie krul

[ocean dagger]

but I guessssss i could multitask

real best girl

[hot notch]

Which manga is this?

[ocean dagger]

Shikimori’s Not Just a Cutie

136 chapters + anime adaption next anime season

[hot notch]

So I'm assuming this is a romance

[ocean dagger]

yes

wholesome romance

[hot notch]

The best kind

[ocean dagger]

cures your post-anime depression

[hot notch]

Do the main couple actually get together or is it a giant will they wont they

[ocean dagger]

|| they’re together from the start ||

[hot notch]

||poggers||

[ocean dagger]

it’s really enjoyable and the manga panels are so good and detailed at some points

[hot notch]

I'll put it on the list. There's nothing else on the list but it still might take me a bit to get to it.

[ocean dagger]

it’ll be worth 😌

[hot notch]

So like how wholesome is it

[ocean dagger]

on a scale of 1-10?

[hot notch]

Yea and like what kind of wholesome is it. Like are they all lovey dovey or is it a really nice and subtle they like each other kinda thing

[ocean dagger]

10/10 wholesome

and they’re mostly lovey dovey

[hot notch]

If you have time could you send some example panels

[ocean dagger]

i gotchu

[hot notch]

Also I'd like to thank you again Jake because I'm all caught up now and I very much enjoyed it

[topaz linden]

Glad you liked it! :D

[hot notch]

Are you caught up or have you read it at all?

[topaz linden]

Haven't read it, but made decent progress into the anime itself. Haven't really felt the urge to finish it tho (been watching other things SoL romcom vibes, ya know?)

[hot notch]

Is hoodie Krul enough motivation to read it?

[topaz linden]

Think I left off in the anime about when ||The vampire kid the MC knows gets sent out on his first mission||

[topaz linden]

Nah, tho that is pretty great 👀

[hot notch]

Oh that's really early

[topaz linden]

mightve been a bit later, but thats the last bit I actually remember up to

[hot notch]

Well if you ever get the urge to finish it I highly recommend it. Even though the writing isnt the greatest at times the mystery and worldbuilding are enough to carry imo.

[topaz linden]

Well, think ya mentioned the manga aint done, right?

Will probably put it in the "read when completed" folder for now

[hot notch]

That might be a while since we just started a new arc and now is probably a good time to catch up but if you ever do read it I hope you enjoy it

[mighty cape]

ohhh is it confidential or I can see it?

Just curious

[fallen yew]

Anyone can draw with practice and consistency

[topaz linden]

Oh I know.
"wish I could do original art" in this case means more "wish I had the willpower/could be bothered to practice"

[fallen yew]

I-

I totally understand

After that drawing i dont want to draw for at least another month 😮‍💨

idr

[hot notch]

I use the website mangareader.to and it's high quality.

[topaz linden]

Oh damn, apparently AmaLee is voicing Marin in the EN dub of Dress Up Darling... and actually sounds pretty damn good 👀 https://youtu.be/xzH2q3jQtW8

[shadow knot]

Sounds alright for a dub

[topaz linden]

Yee, the dub itself is alright. Was more just surprised AmaLee could do decent VA work as well (she's mostly known for singing)

[shadow knot]

Indeed

[hybrid sonnet]

Ok ok, so like if Eren from Aot was 15, does that make him a Teen Titan?

[shadow knot]

Good question

[eternal ledge]

[violet canopy]

Kyun kyun kyun

[ivory spindle]

Boruto OP8 first part is straight fucking fire the actual fuck?

[civic minnow]

i don't watch boruto and haven't been reading it for a while now

[pearl ocean]

Who is she

[hot notch]

Marin from My dress up darling or Sono bisque doll

[pearl ocean]

[tribal ice]

I like gabi

[cloud iris]

It gets good the first few episodes are slow

[shadow sleet]

whats the current arc

[severe tinsel]

95% similar

[dusky trout]

Manga Plus all chapters free rn

[dusky trout]

Uhhh

Not really ^

spy family right?

@mighty cape Its all there for me

and this is manga plus

yes lmao

thats what I meant by mobile

you read the chapter once and thats it

its 2 dollars/month if you want them forever

or manganato or what ever you see fit

[modern hearth]

anyone watch the new demon slayer ep yet

[dusky trout]

yea

that stupid cliffhanger bruh

[modern hearth]

i mean

it happens like every episode

20 minutes is waaay too short

[dusky trout]

I know but since Im anime only on this one Im still pissed

[modern hearth]

same

[dusky trout]

AOT's episode hard tho. Sad to see that by the way this is being paced its not finishing in 12 eps

[tribal ice]

Just watched it's really good!

What do u think about Eren?

[lucid dirge]

Interesting

[radiant fox]

Yep

[wary grotto]

whats their race

crazy!!

[lucid dirge]

Definitely not black lol

[wary grotto]

u might as well own me

[pure mural]

jump off a building you racist

[radiant fox]

They've been banned

[wary grotto]

banned bozo

[pure mural]

thank god

[lucid dirge]

Thanks for your quick work mod

[mighty cape]

so uh.. anime amirite whatchu guys watchin

[wary grotto]

me to racists

[lucid dirge]

I just wanted to say the new aot episode was good

[topaz linden]

Mostly older stuff. Not really more than an hour's worth of shows to watch this season, hard to fill a week on that

[mighty cape]

ooh

[pure mural]

blue exorcist

[topaz linden]

Re:Creators if ya haven't seen it 👀

[mighty cape]

i remember when there was like 15 shows a season and it was so hard to keep up

[topaz linden]

you mean literally every season last year?

[mighty cape]

lmao yeah

and previous years

[topaz linden]

late 2020 and 2021 got filled with all the stuff that got delayed due to corona lol
So that + some bangers coming out = Way more shows to watch than usual

This year looks like it'll be pretty good, but not as crazy

[mighty cape]

yeahh heres hopin

i havent watched weekly in years (maybe like 3-4yrs now) so props to those who keep up

[topaz linden]

Unless its something S-tier like Mushoko Tensei, I generally watch ~biweekly (2 episodes every other week) and just change up which one I watch, or binge at the end of the season

Most series don't really need to be followed weekly imo

[mighty cape]

true true

[dusky trout]

Eren Gangsta

in the manga tho....

[fossil moat]

Doesn't even begin to describe how good it was.

[tribal ice]

Eren the the actual antagonistic and protagonist

[dusky trout]

ong

[shadow knot]

Eren’s kinda kek ngl

When it’s been shown that he ||manipulated Grisha this whole time|| I was like lol ok then

I really need to stop thinking about the manga ending tho cuz I keep reminding myself of it and ruining my enjoyment for the anime now lol

[tribal ice]

Couldn't relate more

[dusky trout]

Damn you spitting

[inner osprey]

apparently a vtuber is the voice of Marin in the EN dub

https://tenor.com/view/marin-kitagawa-marin-kitagawa-kitagawa-marin-bisque-gif-24606170

[topaz linden]

AmaLee, tho tbh, she's been known for great English covers of anime songs long before she started being a VTuber

[inner osprey]

Yeah I know, she sounds really solid

[topaz linden]

(She only started being a Vtuber Dec 2021, she's been doing anime covers since 2006)

yee, was pretty impressed

[inner osprey]

idk every fucking dub sounds like its done by the same 8 people

[topaz linden]

AmeLee in Genshin when? (wouldn't be the first streamer VA they've added )

[inner osprey]

instead they add the most cringe person ever... Lilypichu

[topaz linden]

I think she did good as Sayu

[inner osprey]

doesnt sound that good tbh

but thats just me

[topaz linden]

Liked her performance in the Hangout quests at least

[inner osprey]

I dont get it man... Lumine and Aether talk in their profile voice lines but dont talk in the story and such

[merry smelt]

i luv happy sugar life

[cloud iris]

Any actual good thriller/mystery/supernatural anime without 500,000 boring ass fight scenes (attack on t*tan🤢) l

[merry smelt]

i bet a jojos fan would say jojos

not me tho

[vagrant kettle]

id say jojo yeah ahahha just dont judge it by part 1

[vagrant kettle]

watch it for the lore but the other parts are sooooo much better

aot do be getting confusing tho

[stiff birch]

now beat this one

[shadow knot]

Oddtaxi

[stiff birch]

Steins;Gate
Psycho Pass

Puella Magi Madoka Magica counts too in a way

or maybe Erased (Boku Dake ga Inai Machi), if you haven't watch it

[shadow knot]

All good series

[safe ether]

Fck eren jaeger

Hall of fame menace to society

[stiff birch]

lol ppl here seems to hate AoT so much huh

[quaint bane]

Anyone got good animes similar to Land of the Lustrous' artstyle literally cannot find any style enjoyable after LotL

[shadow knot]

Trust me when I say this, but Beastars

Both series are CGI and made by the same studio, so it’s not the same art style but relative animation/production

[mighty cape]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H6GmVCD7cxk

helped me appreciate the series more

eren doesnt want freedom he just likes conflict basically

[mighty cape]

monster

[safe ether]

Manga was good untill the wnd

[paper basin]

SO if anyone cares, this year marks the 10th Anniversary of theKuroko no Basket anime

[safe ether]

End

The ending of aot is dodoo

[paper basin]

which is kinda crazy really

[safe ether]

Literally copied code geass

[paper basin]

because people seem to compare it to slam dunk or ahiru no sora

[mighty cape]

is that just dog play basketball

[paper basin]

no

this is just promotional artwork on twitter

[mighty cape]

i would b down for that

[paper basin]

why would you want an air bud anime

[mighty cape]

fuck it dud

[paper basin]

This is what i was talking about

https://www.crunchyroll.com/kurokos-basketball

https://www.netflix.com/title/80063153

[mighty cape]

ive seen that

[paper basin]

ah

[mighty cape]

like first episode maybe

[shadow knot]

Kuroko no Basket is never realistic I wouldn’t be surprised if the dog started playing basketball

[paper basin]

ehhh

[stiff birch]

nah it is still decent, can't say it is the best
tho I found it ridiculous if ppl saying it copied Code Geass, for me saying that is the same as saying Genshin is a copy of BoTW

[mighty cape]

what would be a proper ending for aot

[paper basin]

We'd might as well just get it over with and just say everybody copied everybody else

[mighty cape]

good guys kill bad guy or bad guy kill everyone

u could say that everyone dying would be copying eva

[paper basin]

Probably an ending that does not feel poorly written, unlike promised neverland

No, Eva was just basically mindfuck the anime

[mighty cape]

i dont think it was poorly written though

||just bcs eren was a pathetic baby the whole time||

[paper basin]

oh and i just remembered

[shadow knot]

Genshin is lowkey a copy of BoTW in the very beginning tbf

[paper basin]

the dog's name is Tetsuya 2

and was basically the team mascot

especially since he first appeared in ep 14 of kuroko no basket

[mighty cape]

ruin guards and hilichurls are a direct ripoff fs

they just added gacha really

[paper basin]

and look how much dosh it made

and yet here we are

saving up our primos and wishes just so we can get a five star

like Yae Miko

only for Mihoyo to censor the outfit in the end just to please the chinese government for some ridiculous reason

[stiff birch]

this is what I meant

[mighty cape]

KKona

[stiff birch]

a super mindblowing inspiration nowadays is a rare find bc mostly new inspirations comes from something that already exist

[mighty cape]

fujimoto gives me mindblowing inspiration

[stiff birch]

which is true, but as time flies this kinda irrelevant

[mighty cape]

but does botw have anime waifus???

they do not!

[paper basin]

but it is a zelda game

and it sells because people are automatically conditioned to buy zelda and pokemon and mario games en masse

[mighty cape]

it sells bcs its good ngl

pokemon is the only good example there

[paper basin]

and they buy it up and say they are the best games ever even if it may have bad grafics or runs like crap

[mighty cape]

ppl just want a good pokemon game

[paper basin]

and every single person i've talked to who has played pokemon legends has told me the same thing:

"we bought the game because it's Pokemon. Not because of the fact that it had bad grafics or no voice acting or improper performance or doesn't allow pokemon to follow you"

[quaint bane]

Already saw Beastars 😭 found it great too, I guess I'll hop onto season 2 now

[paper basin]

"but because it's pokemon."

[shadow knot]

[shadow knot]

yep

[mighty cape]

is pokemon following u rlly a good metric to judge games by

[quaint bane]

Also does Chainsaw man have an anime or is it just manga

[mighty cape]

july!!!

[paper basin]

Just a manga

with shock value with an anime coming soon

[mighty cape]

ill be in boot camp

[paper basin]

if they were smart

[quaint bane]

Ohh sick alright

[paper basin]

they would debut it at Anime Expo

and people would come all over

problem is

[quaint bane]

Is it a horror? From what I've seen so far lol

[mighty cape]

nah

[topaz linden]

Anime is in production and should be out this year iirc

[paper basin]

they run the risk of causing a super spreader to happpen

[mighty cape]

philosophical shonen shit

[paper basin]

Oh and Spy x Family is also happening

anime wise

[quaint bane]

Oh interesting

[stiff birch]

ah CSM
never read the manga, though I heard it was very good, and looking at that crisp teaser makes me decide to watch the anime instead

[paper basin]

same with Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer

[quaint bane]

The only reason I wanna watch Spy x Family is Anya
Wait is it not out yet??

[paper basin]

but still nothing for Psyren

Anime has yet to come out until maybe spring i think

everyone's too busy with demon slayer and my dress up darling

[quaint bane]

Bruh I really thought it came out like 2 or something months ago

[topaz linden]

Probably good call. Manga (at least the arc thats finished, think author said they're doing a continuation?) is pretty short, so I'm expecting the anime to cover most, if not all of it depending on if its a split cour (24 episode) season or not

[paper basin]

That was the reveal trailer for the anime

[quaint bane]

Yeahh makes sense, I never really payed close attention 😭

Any of you watched Demon Slayer s2? How was it?

[mighty cape]

great

[quaint bane]

As good as the first?

[paper basin]

Mugen Train arc or Entertainmet District Arc

?

[mighty cape]

demon slayer really gets better and better idk why people call it bad

[quaint bane]

Both

[paper basin]

Because people hate popular things like people on 4chan hate everything

also because their favorite thing is not popular enough

[mighty cape]

they like furry nsfw art

[quaint bane]

Last I watched Demon Slayer was 2 years ago or when the 1st Season still wasn't complete and I wanna start watching the stuff that came after s1

[paper basin]

that's like hating uma musume because more people were playing that over some random thing you like that got shut down due to lack of users

[stiff birch]

also this one
the fact that Yor was voiced by.. freaking Ayaka
istg when I saw that trailer I was "okay, I've heard enough Ayaka, and she's somehow in 86 as Anju, and now this?"

[stiff birch]

I see

[paper basin]

https://fxtwitter.com/spyfamily_anime/status/1462254443294953473?s=20&t=FDPjj6mtszXU3WviQzJLGA

here's the trailer in case you forgot

Oh and in other news

Guess which anime song is now number one on the Billboard Hard Rock charts

[mighty cape]

bro that song is so good

surprised half of those artists still make music

[paper basin]

most other songs usually chart for random reasons

for example

because they were heard in popular tv shows like Peacemaker

[mighty cape]

yeah

hard rock isnt really a saturated genre

[paper basin]

I still wish Zankyosanka would trend on the Billboard charts in the US just for kicks

but alas it's just mumblecore rap and whatever k-pop song tweens are listening to

[mighty cape]

ong

mumblecore

[paper basin]

speaking of which

here is my apple music anime/game playlist that y'all should check out

https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/anime-game-mix/pl.u-AkAmPl3c2256o3

it is 999 songs long and counting

and also has music from random video games from the US and Japan

and also genshin

[stiff birch]

damn

well I admit that song is a banger

[paper basin]

it is
