My biggest problem with doga being the studio is that most of their stuff doesn't match OnK's vibe at all. It doesn't need animation to sell comedy because comedy isn't the focus (||It might help them for some of Mem's stuff but that's about it||).

I couldn’t care enough for that studio anyways whether they butcher stuff or does something justice cuz they adapt a lot of shit ion care about 
but again hearing them adapting quite a popular series, I be keeping tabs

Other than exposition for hf there’s zero reason for fate route to exist it’s so fucking bad

and fate route introduces all of the characters and mechanics, and gets you to see how insane shirou is, while the following routes show him trying to become a more functional human being
still agree about it being the weakest route
spare isle
he's not really insane he's just stupid and that never really changes
civic creek
i haven't tried HA yet so i can't comment on that

except for hf where he actually kind of develops a purpose
and has something driving him other than a misinterpretation of his predecessor's ideals

Not really insane. Lmao a guy who can't enjoy a date because he thinks it's wrong for him to be happy about anything other than helping people doesn't seem that sane to me

and shirou actually ended up happy unlike his edgelord father
spare isle
he also goes to bed at 3am and wakes up at 3:30am to start making his banquet of a breakfast every morning

i wouldn't call someone with survivors guilt dumb. There's plenty of reasons to call shirou dumb, but that isn't the one. Fair enough about the food comments
spare isle
nasu writing truly is peak fiction with such scenes as
lol i killed you so hard i took 7 of your lives in one blow
if they could take the gilgamesh stuff from ubw and fit it into hf there'd really be no reason for ubw to exist either rin and archer are such shitty characters
civic creek
but at least you read the vn, know what you are talking about, and have actual arguments unlike 95% of the guys criticizing the franchise. Fair enough about the nasu comment, he's a big chuuni and i understand why some people don't liek it
what don't you like about those 2 ?
spare isle
archer's entire character is baffling like he's just an edgelord because he's seen some shit and gave up on trying to be unrealistically selfless?
rin is a cookie cutter tsundere who only barely becomes useful in hf near the end and otherwise exists as an exposition dump for grail war rules
as far as chuuni goes nasu cant hold a candle to masada
civic creek
rin being just a tsundere is a bit of a stretch, the fandom focuses in that aspect (which to be fair is still a big part of a character) but that's not all of it. As for masada, yeah i heard his reputation even if i haven't tried his stuff yet
spare isle
tbh i would have liked if fate/prototype got the same treatment as knk did it could have been good and done a lot better than the story rewritten to suit eroge fans
civic creek
fate proto is a big cope imo, ayaka is boring as shit, manaka is a villain sue and arthur is just shirou without an expanation for his personality. People think that the mc being a female woukd magicaly make it good but ithink that while it would remove the fanservicy aspects of the tsory, the final result would be bland.
spare isle
doesn't rin straight up kill shirou in some early bad endings? ive forgotten now but i feel like i remember her suddenly being head over feels for him later on which felt like it made no sense
regarding prototype idk its hard to tell because it was so short and didnt get much time
certainly knk is leagues above tsukihime
civic creek
doesn't rin straight up kill shirou in some early bad endings? ive forgotten now...
I forgot, i think she just removes his memory. But yeh of the 3 romances, hers felt the most unatural. For proto, there's fragments of blue and silver that's a prequel, but it was written by sakurai not nasu so who knows. Anyway have a nice day, sorry for starting the conversation so agresively, i'm too used to people paroting the same memes instead of using actual arguments like you ended up doing

Think with how heavily they referenced them, they had to have gotten permission, cause they straight up used the ||Planet Namek|| background from ||Dragonball|| for one of the bits.
spare isle
Don’t think you can copyright that
topaz linden
I dont see why not? It's very clearly meant to evoke the original, and Japan is much stricter on these sort of things than the US (there's pretty much no "fair use" laws over there). Animes are usually very hesitant to make overt references like that for a reason.
Though in this case, I suspect the two series both being under Shonen Jump is probably what made it easier to get permission.
spare isle
Uh they aren’t stricter lol
Doujin content couldn’t exist if it was
They wouldn’t have much grounds for claiming copyright on a background design either
topaz linden
Doujin content couldn’t exist if it was
It exists because Japan has slightly different rules on enforcement than the US.
In the US, it's "use it or lose it" as far as protection goes, so companies have to go after an infringement as soon as they're aware of it.
Japan lets authors pick and choose, so most don't go after doujinshis.
spare isle
It’s not just doujinshi it’s doujin content in general
It’s not just that they don’t go after them

When it’s a huge market
ember cairn
Komi s3 wen
idk, I hope they take some time to make s3 now
this ep 10 was rough
topaz linden
When it’s a huge market
Because, as pretty much every article on the topic will repeat:
A. It's free advertising for them.
B. The people making doujin very often are the next generation of artists and writers who end up working for those companies in the future.
C. There's an unspoken agreement between the two that doujin sales remain small-scale - anything larger in scale should be official.
topaz linden
Like yeah how convenient nobody has tried to claim copyright after 100 comiket e...
They have, but for the reasons above, have generally stopped.
A Wired article for more details:
The violations at Super Comic City were so brazen and the scale so huge — by day's end, some 300,000 books sold in cash transactions totaling more than $1 million — that just about any US media company would have launched a full-metal lawsuit to shut the market for good.
Why aren't Japanese publishers doing the same? I posed that question to two of the main organizers of Japan's dojinshi gatherings, Kouichi Ichikawa and Keiji Takeda.
"Obviously, there are copyright issues at play here," Ichikawa said. When the markets expanded beyond the clutch of early adopters in the 1980s and 1990s, publishers and authors made threatening noises, and some accused successful dojinshi circles of violating copyright law. But lately, as the markets have reached such enormous scale, the big publishing houses have taken a different approach.
"This is something that satisfies the fans," Ichikawa said. "The publishers understand that this does not diminish the sales of the original product but may increase them. So they don't come down here and shut it down."
As recently as a decade ago, he told me, creators of popular commercial works sometimes cracked down on their dojinshi counterparts at Super Comic City. "But these days," he said, "you don't really hear about that many publishers stopping them."
"Why not?" I asked.
They have an understanding, he said, using a phrase I'd encounter again and again: anmoku no ryokai, meaning essentially "unspoken, implicit agreement."
"The dojinshi are creating a market base, and that market base is naturally drawn to the original work," he said. Then, gesturing to the convention floor, he added, "This is where we're finding the next generation of authors. The publishers understand the value of not destroying that." And as the manga weeklies falter and decline, new talent is more important than ever. Meanwhile, Takeda said, the dojinshi creators honor their part of this silent pact. They tacitly agree not to go too far — to produce work only in limited editions and to avoid selling so many copies that they risk cannibalizing the market for original works.
Add on that most doujins sell at a loss, and it's pretty easy to see why there's not a huge rush to crack down on them.

Gintama mostly parodies other Shonen Jump series, and where they parodied non-Shonen Jump shows, they've generally gotten permission from the companies iirc. (That and a similar situation to the doujin, where its free marketing for the other ones)
Though they have had episodes pulled before for unapproved parodies that went too far.

problem with banner is they spend so little time actually showing anything happening

Bookworm's final episode decided to troll a bit with its ending cards
First one before the ED, second one after the ED, last one at the end of the after-credits scene 👀
(Personally think that, endcard trolling aside, an S4 is unlikely. They had a lot of trouble getting just this 10 episode S3 produced, and its a good stopping point for the anime anyway)

Just watch school days obv
topaz linden
it's the usual "7 = mid" scale for him I think
At least for me, 7 ends up being "mid" cause I generally only rate shows that I finish, and I generally don't finish 6 or below
So most of my <7's end up being shows that started good and went shit too close to the end for me to cut my losses
shadow knot
lol yeah
topaz linden
Got a bit more <7 manga tho, cause most of the shit ones get axed early, so I can finish them in an hour or two lol
shadow knot
makes me wonder and surprised how I can finish something and give it like a very low score (ie. below 4 and so on)
but rating stuff is arbitruary anyways, like I can enjoy School Days because it's bad y'know and still give it a bad score cuz yeah that's just me
shadow knot
there's this one guy I talk to who rates weirdly
like
a 3/10 is something he still enjoys
topaz linden
like
a 3/10 is something he still enjoys
I feel like this is the polar opposite of the spectrum of the 7-10 rating crowd
Like, 7-10 rating folks mess with the ratings by making it impossible to rate scales of shit.
This guy makes it impossible to tell what is even shit to begin with
shadow knot
lol his ideology is that even the lowest score is something he'd enjoy because "he enjoys it enough to finish it" or something, and if he doesn't like such work then he drops it
topaz linden
I mean, I've finished a handful of things that I haven't enjoyed it all lol

as long as I enjoy something to where I can either just say fuck it, peak fiction or take a lot out of it and write multitides on why I enjoy it
then the anime did its job for me and that's that
and aobuta did it to where I rewatched the series and movie twice and I still enjoy

Damn

which is crazy cuz considering my current stuff I like and so on I shouldn't be enjoying it that much

I guess it takes that extra depth for me to really enjoy something more because things will otherwise struggle to stand out in the sea of anime pumped out every season
