Yeah that's good
because YT cracks down on those pretty quickly
Free watching
it's not like DVDs are that expensive
and thus, bootlegs
oh that was targeted towards manga
but it applies to both
those making manga bootlegs deserve another layer of hell though
Watch your favorite anime online in Dub or Sub format without registration on HiAnime.to fastest Streaming server NOW.
how do you bootleg that?
oh they do
For me this is working
sell printed scans?
what is wrong with the one on the right?
even the newest releases get more and more bootlegs
welcome to hell buddy
Hate to say it but demon slayer is not even worth it
if youre unlucky the same as an legit set

damn...
its not mine just a quick image from google to show the assholery
wow
I'm so out of the loop
but seriously
bootleg manga
speaking of which
my local library actually has a manga section
pretty nifty
reminds me of the manga cafe of Asia
and seeing the manga section in B&L gives me hope
what gives me the most hope is that HK and Friends are now mainstream in my daughter's school
I swear, HK is the gateway to #1249251565416480818
and I live in the middle of nowhere Iowa...
I can buy manga but like online otherwise I don't think it's possible
Well not gonna do it
It's pointless
i can buy those in nearly every book store there
not bootlegs ones
I'd like to buy all demon slayer manga just for the looks on my future shelf
Why
It's not even that good
Mid
because i like it very much
Mid to one is still great to another
Btw
I don't understand one thing
Like chapters comes one by one
Then like
How manga got published
And how many chapters one manga contains
they split manga into episodes
In japan many/most manga get published in magazines on a weekly or monthly basis
Usually ~20 page chapter mangas are weekly basis
30+ page chapters are monthly
And how long it goes depends on several factors including the mangakas storyboard, how its received and the publisher
isn't like gege draws 7 pages a week
No
He did once
I think
Due to health issues
Like if your manga is extremly well received and increases the sold volume count of the magazine and the manga volumes some editors and publishers push the mangaka to just go on with the manga and drag things out
ion gonna read jjk manga anyways
Oh
Health issues and to some part just beeing fed up with JJK
The JJK hes writing isnt even necessarily what he wanted to draw but what his editors and publishers want
Well it's official now manga ending on 29th
If it was up to him it had went down a completly different route AND ended long ago
September
when gojo will be back
Idk what to think
He did said
There will be 2 possibilities
Everyone dying, yuji surviving
One character dying and everyone surviving
Rn both possibilities have less chance
why not just kill yuji
The newest chapter is such an asspull once the hype dies off and you realize how stupid it actually is
Lol nobara suddenly coming back
I mean not surprised
wasnttshe dead
The only thing certain is that Gege will make the community seethe
And thats the only reason I still read
Cuz holy shit the JJK community is just a mental asylum
The Sukuna showdown at times is more light novel than manga
Lol I liked it because their comments are funny
Dude cant write a cohesive story even if his life depended on it
Well jjk community in spoiling is on top
Thats why I 'love' them as well
Sometimes I wish we had a way to see the blacklisted words of the server
Time to become a mod then lol
Lmao what requirements and where to apply, if u know then tell me
I will apply too
@humble timber
Saint cecilia and paster Lawrence
If u want anime to watch
Genre- Wholesome
nice, 12 episodes
I find the premise to be kind of odd
Why
but it's just too far off base
Nice
Omg I may or may not will go completly overbard
Theres a 22% coupon for ALL english books from a big german retailer
And that includes EVERYTHING: releaed, to be released and even already reduced books!
Im already at 500€ post coupon 💀
well that didnt work out as planned, coupon was capped at 110€ discount so I had to ditch the Box sets
Sadness
fr
I was so gunning for the Assassination Classroom Box Set
it was already reduced and wouldve gotten the 22% on top bringing it down to 3,5€ per Volume
but World Trigger takes priority
Ive been waiting to get it for too long
And another 18% coupon lmao
Well now Ive basically got everything I wanted
Good that I have literally no space anymore for any of the manga I bought
Can I get pic of ur collection?
I can make some
Ill have to add some notes though
Most of manga are german and some titles are different in english
How much it cost to buy sets?
'Die Stadt in der es mich nicht gibt' is Erased
'Bright Sun Dark Shadows' is Summertime Rendering
The volumes between Jojos & GTO are manga based on Lovecrafts stories. Check them out theyre gorgeous and terriyfing
box sets or just complete series in general?
the most expensive manga in my collection is Magi The Labyrinth of Magic but mostly due to the publisher Kazé having been bought out by Crunchyroll and new prints beeing made with a new spine and the Crunhy logo
everyone that has started collecting the Kazé variant is hunting like mad to finish it with Kazé due to the spine change
oh and I have Alice in Borderland twice because... well I initally bought the german but found the english on a trip in London.
The beautiful and a 3 for 2 deal made me do a "whoopsie"
no regrets though
Series
Well understandable
I also wanna have that hobby
But that hobby gonna cost me alot
So I can't afford it
to be honest this probably isnt a good question towards a german
we have the so called "Buchpreisbindung" which mean book price binding
our books have the same price everywhere and arent allowed to go on sale for I think atleast two years
Manga literally never get sale so it doesnt matter if you buy something now or in 10 years as long as its still in print
english series go on sale here though as they dont fall under that law which I why I get some series that way
and its a blessing
there are quite a few box sets in english that we dont get and in a sale theyre SO MUCH CHEAPER
like currently I could get the complete english Assassination Classroom box set for HALF the price of the german single volumes as we dont have a complete set for the series
but I must also say that while Im not rich I basically have no expenses so I can splurge on my hobbies
How much?
In numbered?
Assassination Classroom 21 volumes total
German singles 147€ no box set
English singles ~8€ (now 6,5€) box set 126€ (now 103€)
Bleach 74 volumes total
German singles out of print (OOP) 800€+ on the used market total, 26 Omnibuses 3in1 for 12€ = 312€, no box set
English singles & omnis not really determinable they arent readily available here, 3 Box sets for 153€ (now 125,50€), 180€ (now 147,50€) & 170€ (now 139,50€) = 503€ (now 398,5€)
English singles may be more expensive than the german Omnis but the quality difference and reading experience between singles & omnis makes it worth it imo
Claymore 27 volumes total
German singles OOP like 400€+ used, no box set
English singles idk, box set 190€ (now 156€)
we only have a few box sets here and comparisons can be hard due to this
and considering that I only buy english volumes when there are sales my perceiption is a bit skewed as well
Omnibusses are by far the best bang for your buch but I dislike reading them as I get cramps due to how thick they are despite the usually thin paper
Can I get some anime recommendations ?
What genre
The wrong way to use healing magic
I don’t think that’s rly power of friendship
He has friends he helps… but they all have major powers of their own if that makes sense
I’m bad at explaining lol
I already read manga
Idk if watching anime will be worth
Guess Oshi no Ko just finished: https://www.crunchyroll.com/news/latest/2024/11/14/oshi-no-ko-manga-end-aka-akasaka-new-fantasy-series
I thought it was really good
I might just read the manga rather than waiting for the anime adaptation
Will giver it try
I didn't think the first season was done very well
It's already anime
Done with season 1
But there’s also solo leveling which is PEAK anime and god of highschool if u haven’t seen that
Nope
Read solo leveling manwha
That is peak
I think there were rumors for 3 seasons?
Yesss
Not sure if I really want to wait
Idk, voice actor of one main character just passed away
Maybe it will take some time now
What the 
More reasons to find scans
I already did
Nothing right now
I'm so swamped after finishing this project
Ic I have anime in mind but always got distracted by novels/manga
Other work piled up while I was doing the project
Life
Yeah
True
The novel is even better
It might be but manhwa is already completed
So no need to read it
Ig
The novel came before the manwha lol
Ik
But I read solo leveling very late
And it was totally random
it was my best experience

I don't know if YouTube's automatic translation will help viewers.
The sci-fi anime "AKIRA" will be available in about 50 minutes.
Although the story may be difficult to understand with automatic translation, those who like manga and anime should take this opportunity to watch it.
Ooo, this looks like a good one to watch eventually: https://youtu.be/bVrzN-r4MKA

I‘m also extremely hyped for this one
Gonna be epic
Ill add it to the list but I got so much to read itll take a while
Food Wars!: Shokugeki no Soma
@humble timber
This anime might give u what u want
Already watched it
Hmmmmm
Definitely very very good
Glad all 86 episodes were out
It's completed
Anime ended in 2020
5
Yeah
I finally finished 2.5D Seduction (season 1) last night
Wasn't quite expecting it to take the harem route
But it definitely offered some nice perspective on cosplay in general
But due to the harem element, I think I won't be doing the manga read
Since when u do manga read?
I thought u only in anime?
Plus I read that the manga had more lewd scenes
I just caught up on this one: https://myanimelist.net/anime/54431/Toaru_Ossan_no_VRMMO_Katsudouki
I think u show me this
I will watch this after one piece
I shared it on #anime-expo-2025
Yeah figured
Don't, the anime is super behind
That's why I had to read
What u r talking Bout?
Its one arc behind only?
Also i havent watch one peice like after 2022
So i got many unwatch episodes
Far more
Volume 13 right now
And the English translation got to volume 11
91 chapters available in English
I think season 1 only got to around chapter 20ish
So yeah, I'm usually too lazy to read the comic
But when absolutely necessary, I read too
Hmmmmmm
Plus I enjoy the VA in anime
I watch in sub
Seiyuu are just a different breed
Yeah, I don't do dubs
My Japanese is good enough to rely on subs
Anyways, another reason why I don't like long series
My Japanese becomes good after watching anime in sub
Atleast some words
I often have to jump to manga to get past the season finale cliff hangers
I watch few series like series which refused animate anime
Like black clover
And some series are really bad at lining up the anime with the manga
Last episode was in 2022
Agreed
Tokyo ghoul for example
Oh gawd
Anyways, Food Wars was very good
Especially the cooking parts
I really hope my daughter would grow up having discriminating taste
Maybe not as crazy as Erina
Lmao
All my daughter wants to eat right now are burgers and chicken nuggets
And complete
Damn
But even then, I'm secretly training her palate with different cheeses

And different burger patties
Nice
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid
This anime is also nice
Oh, that's an old one
But good one
When Funimation was still around
Wait funimation is closed?
Oh
But Funimation got swallowed up by Crunchy
Aside from fan service, I agree. I only read the manga though
I'm right now watching Owari no Seraph
Even the fan service was quite "fair"
The amount of male nudity was quite impressive
For the anime?
Yeah
Gotcha
Clothes were flying off for both the male and female characters
I probably will eventually watch the anime lol
Got a massive backlog of anime to get through first
Infinity Nikki for me
Wuwa is talked about there too
Nice
Wait I gotta share something there
Anyways back to topic. If you haven't seen Kyoukai no Kanata, I recommend it
Very enjoyable
I haven't seen it, I'll add it to my queue
Nice, looks like my cup of tea
Let me know if you see it
Will do
I watch it, and it was okay series
Not bad, not good
Normal
Yea it's not the best but I'm enjoying it
This was my favorite for this season (Q1 2026): https://myanimelist.net/anime/61782/Kirei_ni_Shitemoraemasu_ka
With an endearing protagonist and luscious art, this seaside slice-of-life story offers tranquility in the chaos of the modern world. For two years, Wakana Kinme has run a laundry service in the seaside resort town of Atami, where she's built a fulfilling life making friends with the locals and visiting hot springs. Although Wakana has no knowle...
The story was refreshing
There was just enough fan service without being overtly annoying
Ngl this is first time i am hearing about this anime
A close second from this season was this Isekai about production magic: https://myanimelist.net/anime/61549/Okiraku_Ryoushu_no_Tanoshii_Ryouchi_Bouei__Seisankei_Majutsu_de_Na_mo_Naki_Mura_wo_Saikyou_no_Jousai_Toshi_ni
Van, the fourth son of a powerful noble, is only two years old when he remembers his past life as a salaryman in Japan. With his adult brain in a young body, he's considered a child prodigy...until he displays the "Production Magic" skill when he turns eight. In a family that favors offensive magic, this crafting skill is considered useless in b...
Ik this one
We'll see if it gets a season 2, but the story ended at a pretty good break point
Third place went to another Isekai: https://myanimelist.net/anime/60460/Hell_Mode__Yarikomizuki_no_Gamer_wa_Hai_Settei_no_Isekai_de_Musou_suru
"Level up even while offline?! That's not a game on 'easy mode'—that's just an AFK game!" The online game Kenichi Yamada had been playing religiously is shutting down its servers, leaving him with a void in his heart. He looks for a new game to fill it, but everything he finds is way too easy. The kind of game he likes—the kind punishing eno...
Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
Is currently i think best in slice of life
The story just climaxed as the protagonist is getting crazy powerful
Looks like he's going to be taking on the Demon Lord
Glad they are continuing right away, ending was ass, but enjoyable anime
Very typical progression of an Isekai storyline
Yes, season 2 just wrapped up as well with only 10 episodes
Clearly it's getting a season 3
Ye
Can't believe they ended it at a literal bridge 
I thought the whole show is refreshing because clearly the story doesn't just end after the hero defeats the demon lord 
It was beginning
And Frieren is just so friggin cute
Was amazed of enjoying more "Isekai office worker, the other world's books depend on the bean counter" than "There was a cute girl in the hero's party, so I tried confessing to her" (their episodes came out on the same day)
I'm so tempted to start buying her merch
I hated both 
Now someone do the same for romance pls and dont end it the moment they get together
Whats stopping u
ROFL, you mean like a daily life of doing house chores?
Space 
That's fair, both are on the weird AF Isekai anime of this season
Thats an valid reason
I have so many Miku figures 
An all time legend (Miku) vs the newcomer (Frieren)
In terms of BL, I definitely preferred the Noble's Vacation more this season over the Office Worker: https://myanimelist.net/anime/60071/Odayaka_Kizoku_no_Kyuuka_no_Susume
When Lizel mysteriously finds himself in a city that bears odd similarities to his own but clearly isn't, he quickly comes to terms with the unlikely truth: this is an entirely different world. Even so, laid-back Lizel isn't the type to panic. He immediately sets out to learn more about this strange place, and to help him do so, hires a seasoned...
Horimiya was pretty good in that regard. Just because they got together early doesnt mean there wont be any conflicts
I think people just want the icing without the cake
Yes by a lot, even though the bl was set to low it was noticeable
The cute girl one had really interesting art style, but the storyline was just awful
I think too much was left out of the manga and watching the anime alone wasn't enough
I just want something different than the constant 'will they? Will they not?' For 200 chapters/episodes knowing theyll get together from chapter/episode 1
There was just too much gap in the story and I found the protagonist to be very very annoying
Especially that masked hero character
I thought Tonikawa may scratch that itch but it just all fluff
I didn't have enough time to watch as many as I wanted this season
The Office Worker was just way too overt with the BL to my liking
And then I get lazy and just don't come back for them till next year
The one of death game something was so insanely good
But I got lazy and didn't watch the last 2 episodes
I actually didn't follow that one
Usually wait till a season is finished before watching them cuz my scatterbrain cant remember shit
I've been busy trying to still work through the backlog of ones I wanted to see still:
I've been watching them daily during lunch
Beats watching the news 
I usually read manga
I'm seriously trying hard to escape from reality since the start of this year
Anime is definitely a good place to be
But I kinda wanna start to actually read again during lunch
Maybe that's why I liked the Washing Lady story so much
Just so simple
Anyways, nice to see everyone again
We'll regroup after Q2 
Beyond the boundary is so good
I read some of these manga but never imagined they will get adaptation
Yeee
I just saw episode 1 got posted. Can't believe it's back with a season 4 and 60 more episodes 
I'm not sure if I want to catch up 
I think I stopped around episode 20 in season 1?
Bro u r watching peak
I stopped at season 2
No sure, but so many Isekai shows have made fun of slime since this show
This one make isekai genre popular
I thought that was Inuyasha 
I meant for genz
But yeah this one is super popular
I guess I'll add it to my list
Plenty of time to catch up with a 60 episode season
Yeah i think previous seasons have 12 or 24 episodes
Not sure which number
Also there are movies
(Non canon)
24 per season:
Yeah
Guess I almost finished with season 1 before quitting
Nice
I stopped at season 2 since i watch in 2022

Just a lot of fillers 
Fillers are actually related to main story
Sure
It just got worse and worse
I'm like, which character are we following now?
Since I wasn't keeping up that tightly
I just kept getting confused and gave up
Worse part about this is that something important is going then next epsiode we are totally somewhere else
I skip
Guess I wasn't the only one that was lost
I dont have patience
Try black clover
Its 160 episodes but one season
(Not completed)
I like my 12 episode brainless Isekai shows
Try skeleton knight in another world
I liked it
12 episodes atleast till now
(Season 2 not confirmed yet)
But i liked the anime season one
Anyone following witch hat Atelier
It seems an awesome anime
It took more then 7 years to animate
The anime is a more of an slide show but still very good
If you like the humor then
Life Lessons with Uramichi Oniisan and
Grand Blue Dreaming
might be to your taste as well
Oh not to forget The Fable
The beggining after the end makes witch hat atelier look like sony movie
Tbate in anime has changed the story completely
Idk why they did it
Adding both of these to my watch list
Fable is show?
Or movie
Oh movie
I didnt like watching movie now
Last movie i watch was avengers end game
They are ruining a good story in so many ways
First animation then story
Idk how they managed to convince author
To give them this project
oh man, Crunchyroll is going hard against the free anime websites
I can't seem to watch stuff for free anymore
maybe it's for the better, as I really don't have time to be watching all these animes
going against the very thing that got you big in the first place is so incredibly twisted that I cant really put it into words
days of fan sub has left the building
Fansubs vanishing is one thing
everything beeing on a subscription and yet many anime not beeing available on ANY provider forcing us to pirate is a whole different topic
9anime is still working
I HAD to watch Terror in Resonance through an pirate site because not a single provider in germany had it either for sub or buy
Funny enough crunchyroll was an pirate website at first
Ye
Well it doesnt matter honestly
If one falls then other will rise
Hianime was my favorite,i hope they will come back
Yeah, that one got banned even in jp
"I made friends with the second pretiest girl in my class" is pretty good, been reding it as it comes out, anime stays close to the story, thought thy were going to leave out some things bc it goes from candy happy to dry serious at some point but it's doing it good enough
I saw some clips
Seems kind of regret like
His ex will regret
And will try to get him back
But mc will reject him smth
Just with this, you are very very far from it
Hmmm will check it out
U could try fight delivery
Its really intresting story
Mc basically delivery fight
And mc hella story
Anime or manga?
He could crush metal weapons with his fist
Manga
Ok ok
It's my favorite one for this season
There seems to be quite a few romance animes this season
I'm still struggling to watch though
Anikai just got killed
9anime only has the newest stuff
Saaaaame, either the other websites I find are full of ads or are token grabbers
It just an wave
Soon it will be calm
Pretty sure other sites will rise
Also i heard anikai will be revived
They will shift thier servers to another
It will take some time
They didnt get banned
cosmic princess kaguya is worth a watch if you haven't seen it
I'm building my own streaming service cuz I'm tired of these sites getting taken down
Share with us
When done
It'll also cost me a bit of money and time to build it all out
Also it's not really crunchy that's behind it. It's South Korea that's been going after these sites.
