They have very different plot lines because the director didn’t like the direction of the manga. It actually caused a little shitstorm back in the day because the mangaka complained on his blog about it.
>"In closing, I have to post what I don't want to post: the director of the animated version of Bokurano dislikes the original manga. From here on out, you can't expect the animated version to expand on what you might find appealing in the original. So, fans of the original, please do not watch the anime.

I fell in love with this fucking anime so much that I downloaded the OST in FLAC format last night, and I'm so stupidly excited about it that I saved it for today, even though it's only the OP and ED themes and some background music. I can't help it, I just love LotGH on so many levels, and the OP/ED songs are just one of them.
The first and third endings still make me tear up, especially when I sing along.
Anyway, I still need to watch the Gaiden series, but I'm hesitant to torrent them because it'll be a quite a few more gigabytes and I'm running out of space.

I get that it's a slice of life but I feel like they could've gotten more creative with the shots. The manga had really powerful panels and I feel like they didn't give them justice.

The mangaka seemed to be really happy about it though, so in the end I'm happy it was made at all. She even went as far as to draw the voice actors with the characters they voiced and drawing promos for each ep.

I'm so upset this season is ending it's one of my favorite anime now for sure. The fight between Bojji and Bosse was really cool, I love how they showed him in his true body so you got a scope of his power and heft. It felt like something from God of War or Attack on Titan with the grand scale of it all. And yes, I'm so curious about Miranjo's relationship with the demon. It was just eating and then smashing and then eating souls in the end? Creepy as hell. It seems like it was also more innocent at one point though.

I'm glad someone else feels the nostalgia. I agree a lot of recent shoujo seems shallow or else goes off the deep end trying to make teenagers too edgy. Fushigi Yuugi was one of my favorites that I think rode the line pretty well. Speaking of romantic options, I don't think anyone beat Miaka. Kind of telling that a lot of the more recently popular shows are just remakes of the classics (Sailor Moon Crystal, Fruits Basket, Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card). Kageki Shoujo was great though, I really hope they get to continue the series. I'm confounded it was originally published in a seinen magazine

Back then, shojo manga were more diverse. You'd have a lot of different genres and vibes and protagonists in shojo magazines, but nowadays that's not the case anymore. If Black Butler and Vanitas no Cartes started in the 90s they would have been published in shojo magazines for example. Literally the only guys I know who like Black Butler are turbo gay guys who are into shojo to begin with. I bet if you showed some parts of X to teenage western weebs like action scenes or the scene when Kotori gets dismembered and Fuuma loses his shit they'd tell you it's an edgy shonen manga and not a shojo manga.

Last time I looked up what shojo manga were popular it was all just a bunch of romcom with love triangles between high school classmates, not sports manga or anime, not magical girls, not urban fantasy with action like X, Angel Sanctuary, anything by Saki Hiwatari, etc. (I wouldn't be surprised if Megaten as a whole influenced a shit ton of shojo manga back then), and they're barely adapted into anime or drama like before. If there are adapted it's just one short season of an anime that serves as a long ad for the manga. Maybe you'll get a shitty Angelique inspired isekai sometimes and that's it. If I'm wrong and missed some interesting recent manga, please tell me.

I only read Mirai no Utena from her the story is very similar to Persona 1's snow queen route and Persona 3, I wouldn't even be surprised if the Atlus devs read it and Ii recommend it if you like weird supernatural stories but I haven't found scans anywhere online. I read it because it's published in French and I managed to find it very long ago at the library and I got the books on Vinted not too long ago even if they're not in a very good state. I've read summaries of her other manga and I'm guessing her other series have similar themes. As for please save my earth I've heard it's good but I've been too lazy to read it. I'll try to someday.

>I miss all of this - especially edgy series

Me too. Now what do we have? Black Butler is very slow nowadays because Toboso is working on a Disney mobage so she's focusing on that, Vanitas no Carte seems good but I need to see what the recent chapters are like because it's been a while and it's less edgy than the series we mentioned so far, I haven't read Toilet bound Hanako-ken but it gives me a similar vibe to Black Butler and Mentantei Loki just from the art and summary. As I said, they're published as shonen manga. Is there anything that can fit in this category that's still ongoing?

Ha, it is canon after all! Ahh I was thinking of Fushigi Yuugi as well. Obviously Tamahome is canon but mmm that Tasuki I must say! Yes, Kageki was good but started to fall flat toward the end for me personally. I felt the characterization was not fully dimensional.

Very true. Happy to see Makino posted I think she's one of the best shoujo protags of all time. Indeed, wow… I mean I guess Madoka is 11 years old at this point but people really lost it over the head chomp. Even back then it drove me nuts to see people spouting "this is the first dark mahou shoujo ever!!"

I certainly know of nothing nowadays that matches up.
My fave older show which is overlooked or perhaps just too unknown (despite being on streaming services) is Shamanic Princess. That it's basically forgotten is really puzzling. The animation, voice acting, art designs, music, and story are all amazing.

Anon, a bunch of American millenials played the PS1 game with the horrible localization and completed what was left of the actual game, so don't say that. Joking aside, I know about the snow queen quest because I wanted to see how to unlock it and it's way too complicated. And I've seen people saying that P3 is a very direct sequel of that route for spoiler reasons but we're going off-topic right now.

Anyway, the whole "normal pretty boy who likes video games and his normal classmates in a Japanese city have to deal with demons and a magic tower that fuses with their high school at some point" isn't exclusive to Persona and iirc Mirai no Utena was released before P1. I remember the mangaka giving her opinions on NGE and Escaflowne in her notes while these anime were on-going so it's kinda old now, and she shat all over the last two episodes of NGE. She was also saying she'd like to play a JRPG where you collect hot guys instead of monsters of weapons while opening treasure chests because she was playing Angelique, I need to kind that one.

I'm Europoor so I downloaded P1 and P2IS on the Vita BUT I have the official French translation of the P2 manga that was released in early 2000s, and the translator notes are pretty funny. It's basically "hey guys, this manga is based on a video game that isn't released in Europe, and the previous game of the series isn't translated either, and the mainline games aren't translated either, and the PS1 is region locked but they're fun games! Hopefully we'll get Persona games in French someday too!" and now in 2022 we have like 4 megaten games translated in French. Shout out to Katsuya for appearing as a cameo when the rest of the characters showing up are original characters.

Has anyone else seen Jubei-chan 1 and/or 2? I watched 2 because 1 is fucking impossible to find for some reason. There were things I really liked and other things I disliked about it. The fight scenes were super over the top but in a cool way and there was some novelty in the show not dragging out the obvious that Freesia was clearly the Spade eyepatch wielder and the dramatic irony that held, plus the bizarre comedy was fun, but there were parts that bugged me like the blatant male pandering fanservice when Freesia would manipulate Jubei. I wish I could find 1 and watch it, it apparently leaned more into the wacky parody angle than 2 did.

I finally decided to watch Higurashi no Naku Koro Ni: Gou. I'm on episode 2 and so far it looks, feels and sounds fairly amateurish, both in phasing and development. The abrupt cuts in audio to make it "serious" or "creep" only accomplishes a high schooler quality. The long paused stares also don't give any sense of creepiness or malevolence, it looks kinda autistic. The character design is also very horrendous (in my humble opinion), I don't mind that they were made by the prolific lolicon Poyoyon Rock, but it just doesn't capture nor it channels the Higurashi spirit very well at all. Hopefully it gets better throughout the rest of it, I'm only in the second episode after all.

Did anyone else finish watching? The last two episodes especially 22 were upsetting wtf. Seriously picrel, what in the hell happened? I need to rant about it.

I do not understand Daida marrying Miranjo at all. She was a creepy haunted mirror that directed him from behind the scenes to bring about the destruction of his kingdom, killed a bunch of people, would've killed him or at least trapped his soul forever, nearly caused the death of many others including his own mother and brother, and was also romantically involved with his father. Hey ho though spirit of forgiveness, let's bring her back to life and propose! I don't care if Daida is now an angel and Bosse asked him to look after her, it's insanely messed up to just welcome her at the drop of a hat. If the show wants to redeem her fine, but a slight amount of caution would've been great. Not, y'know, immediately deciding you're obsessed with her and making her the queen of the entire kingdom. I'm so weirded out by how happy everyone was with the proposal, the Guard Captain was the only person with any sense.

Then there's Bosse. Hoo boy. I was waiting this whole time for Bosse's complex backstory to be revealed but it turns out, nope. He really was a head empty retard who wanted to be the strongest man in the world. That's it. That was his whole aim in life damn the consequences. Not only that, but he lets a much younger woman support his aims and makes a literal deal with a devil to achieve it. No shit it doesn't feel satisfying, he basically used a cheat code. Miranjo was an idiot to fall for him and sacrifice her demon pal's sanity to fulfill his wish, but I can sort of forgive her for being a terrified child who trauma-bonded to the only person who cared for her. Bosse though has zero exuse. He's a narcissistic adult man who knowingly created and sacrificed his two children to 1) get stronk and 2) stay alive to be with his child lover. Bravo. For a show that mostly has complex, multifaceted characters, Bosse really stands out as an unrelenting piece of shit.


I am okay with the ending and where things are heading with Bojji and Kage. I'm also still interested in Ouken/the three brothers, but if I never see Daida and that group again I'll be just fine with that. Things went off the rails so abruptly and it was really jarring.

This series is a joke. Pure unadulterated garbage. The epitome of male romcom retardedness. The female lead just happens to be a quirky girl whose weeb interests align with the average failed male otaku's taste (eroge/coomer characters) and even before she falls for the self-insert she's the "dense" type who sees zero problem sitting in his bedroom in a bikini while he touches her all over "for cosplay". It has a "wholesome" episode by the beach but we obviously can't have wholesomeness without some panty shots of the wind blowing her skirt around. She, of course, doesn't even notice. Later in the show she brings him to a love hotel "for cosplay" like its NBD lol y'know she's a totally cool and chill girl who can make jokes about keeping condoms in their wallets for good luck lolol and neither of them realize how weird it is for her to sit on his lap while she poses for cosplay pictures until he pops a boner. She, of course, doesn't notice his growing boner right underneath her. Oh and she had totally zero interest in guys before MCkun btw her popular friend group were just, ugh, way too different from her.

It's so comically bad I feel like I'm being thrown back into the early 2000s with how many archaic tropes it has, except it's trying to present them as a wholesome, pure, budding relationship instead of just doubling down on how retarded some of the situations are and making it comedy. Lol. Lmao. My eyes take a weekly trip to the back of my skull when I read comments about how wholesome the failed males watching it think this anime is.

Supposedly a woman wrote this manga. I would say it's hard to believe because there's a reference in there about an 'adult' loli character's "bald vagina" but nip women are brainwashed doormats so it's not too impossible. Moids use that excuse to convince themselves that this series has a female audience to cope with the fact that it's just another pathetic desperate male romcom.

From what you're saying, at least manga from the 2000s were more original for their time and created or popularized tropes instead of copypasting them, so I guess there's also that. From what I've seen, people getting into this manga and anime seem to be zoomers too young to remember Love Hina or shit like that so anything recent seems original to them.

The anime industry gave us multiple stories that downplay rape (oh boy, remember valvrave which seemed super childish like a morning mecha show by sunrise?) and also women like Mari Okada who wrote a girl walking in on her crush fapping to women getting raped on trains (because he's a train autist KEK) and she still stays in love with him and it's played as normal.

Literally my exact thoughts about this series. Go off my love, burn it to the ground. I have nothing but pure hatred for this piece of shit of an incel wish fulfilment romcom and seeing someone tear into it is like breathing fresh air. I know so many pickmes who self-insert into the main girl and sperg over how pure and wholesome the main character guy is and how their relationship is #goals for female weebs, when the fuck did this needlessly sexualized garbage become anything else than coomer male fantasies? Unironically makes me want to a-log so bad I can't stand it. Fuck this fucking series.

>Supposedly a woman wrote this manga.

As far as I know the gender of the author isn't public, or at least there's no confirmation on the gender or any personal information to begin with. So it might as well be a moid faking being a woman to seem more credible and interesting.

Anon who made the post that started this discussion here, and I find it funny how my friend who also self-inserts as the girl wants to stay single and is very critical of men.

It's been a few years since I read and dropped the manga, it got turned into an anime meanwhile. It's one of those "scandalous" coming of age stories about girls and how they find out about sex, one girl cybers all the time and is addicted to it and stuff like that iirc. The main character has a childhood friend who she crushes on, but she also sees him a bit like a brother because he's so childish and also seems to have a thing for trains. One day they are both home alone, and since they're childhood friends she brings him some dinner but finds out he is fapping to train assault porn that's popular in japan, like women getting raped on a public train. I remember anons on 4chan losing their shit in the manga thread when they realized even his porn needs to have trains in some form. Then mc is shocked and hurt because she never saw him like that, yadda yadda.

Meanwhile a scrote writing the most popular animation blog-

No. 192467

I'm watching Boogiepop Phantom and I'm at episode 7 and so far, the last episode is my favorite. I was attracted to this show because of the trailer – which turned out to be Boogiepop and Others' trailer, not Boogiepop Phantom – which seemed to be a creepy thriller about fear of passage of time, consequences of escapism, gender melancholia, and fatal – if not paralyzing – nostalgia. It was this sentence: "When a girl is at her most beautiful, Boogiepop comes to take her, so she won't grow any more unattractive." It sets (or seemed to, at least) set femininity and female youth as transient non-place that is posited as an ideal window of perfection. A short window that is already tinged bitter by the inevitability of its own demise, and the hidden consequences of what happens when you cash in far too much for your own good.

Later I found out I was watching a different anime, but the overall themes (so far) aren't straying from my initial expectations. It doesn't seem to zero in on femininity or female adolescence as inevitably tragic, but it does borrow a component of that grief: the inability to adapt to change, to the passage of time, to your childhood spots being razed down and built on again, and again, and again, and your favorite restaurants being ran out of business, and your mother's hands. Especially your mother's hands. One of the quotes I think about often goes talks about how Adam and Eve's fall from Eden was a must for progress, but it was also a loss. In this sense, progress is hopelessly bound around loss, and the two around time. There is a paralyzing horror that digs a crate out of your bones and leaves you brittle, so brittle. That is what I believe this show is about, right until now. It's about copes.

The reason, though, that this is my favorite episode is because it surveyed motherhood. I am uninterested portrayals of motherhood in anime. They're always shallow, if they're generous enough to be so, kek; most of the time they're just really cheesy plot devices. Right at the beginning of the episode, we're introduced to an expecting future mother, who seems to be quite self-driven. She does things on her own terms, including motherhood: she doesn't have a husband, she wants a natural birth, and when, later in the episode, she is told her pregnancy is dangerous, she refuses to give up her baby. Because she does life on her own terms, and, as a mother, she wants "live life to the fullest". There's another mother in the episode, too, the mother of this episode's school girl protagonist. She works hard to afford college for her kid. Until one day, she gets too tired of being a mother, and has an affair with a coworker, and is later caught by her daughter. This is where the trouble is: the distinction between mother and Sexual Needs Haver, between mother and woman. For her daughter, this is a clear distinction; her mother cannot be a fully-developed human being; she's a mother. Not a person. This isn't some revelation, mind you; this is just teenage narcissism – the daughter is unable to see her mother out of the role she has strictly designated for her, she is unable to see her floating free from the role she has in relation to her. She can only see her in relation to her. She can not view her mother independently. Which is where this line comes: "My pregnancy has me that, unlike men, women have two different faces. Her face as a mother and her face as a woman. Like with plants. There are flowers and there are leaves. A leaf tries to absorb as much sun and nutrition as it can, while a flower simply looks as beautiful as it can. The flower is a woman's face, while a leaf is a mother's." I personally disagree with the way this is worded, because it makes it seem like this identity struggle is inherent and not synthetic (if that's the right word…? I think it's native, but not inherent). I think this little speech is what makes Shizue (the daughter) really understand the struggle of this incoherence. The ending is sad, I guess, but I really liked it. I wondered for a while how this episode (titled Mother's Day, by the way) fit into the bigger picture. It seemed clear: at the beginning, Shizue's friend visits her mom and tells her that the town is haunted by the past, and the notebooks she gives her to her helps her to move on. The butterfly memories give her the final push forward. She doesn't succumb to memories as escapism. It's the first semi-OK ending of the series. Will probably have more to think about it after I finish the series.

This anime is absolutely horrid and I knew 100% what types of anime fans would latch onto it. It's so disappointing that the author is a woman. I absolutely hate this trend of wholesome ecchi, I don't know what else to call it. The mc is so pure and cute and definitely not perverted at all while the female love interest is a horny harlot and they get into all sorts of pervy hijinks together. It's all so tiresome and I hate how people legitimately call it cute and wholesome. Nothing about this is pure or romantic at all.

I finished yesterday and I completely agree with you. Frankly the whole second half of the show when they return back to the kingdom and people start randomly dying and getting resurrected three times an episode is where I lost my interest in the plot, and didn't understand the point of it. I wish the whole deal with the devil aspect was explored a lot more, and I got the impression that neither Miranjo nor Bosse feel a lot of regret about what they did. Daida marrying Miranjo comes across as such bullshit to me because he's basically just continuing the cycle and repeating his fathers mistake. What's the point of that? It seems like Miranjo is cursed with being moral support for Bosse and his spawn kek.

I'm also way more interested in the three brothers. I really love Hilling and I wish her relationship with Bosse was more defined, she should be way more angry, disappointed, betrayed, any of these. I feel like there were a lot of loose ends. Bojjis ending makes sense though, at least.

And because the male MC is so "wholesome" and "innocent" all the pervy shit gets excused because it's just a series of hilarious coincidinks, why, he's just taking this beautiful, big tittied, half-naked girl's measurements for a costume. It's so pure and adorable that the horny, sexy main girl obsesses over ecchi games and cosplays the characters, making the shy main MC so embarrassed! Oh now he walked in on another girl changing from her wet clothes butt naked, hate when that happens tee hee! Now they're having a photoshoot at a love hotel while the guy has an erection from the girl sitting half naked on his lap, oh no!

Like the other anon said it's just every bad 2000's ecchi trope but framed as something to be considered cute instead of eye-roll worthy male fanservice. The girl is a BPD-chan using the autistic MC for her own gain and somehow falling instantly in love with this guy for no other reason than he.. exists I guess. The MC on the other hand is as interesting as a dead fish but because he isn't a complete asshole (as he doesn't have enough personality to be one) that's apparently enough to consider him perfect husbando material. I wouldn't be so mad if this stupid anime was just something male incels dreaming of a qt cosplay gf liked but instead it's shilled as the quintessential portrayal of cosplay and how Marin is so #relatable by being the ultimate pornsick Cool Girl unbothered by male bullshit.

Surprised but not shocked at all, Japanese women tend to consider being an aloof, hypersexual cool girl based and liberating which in their cultural context makes sense to a degree, but as for myself it's just a romcom sexualizing a hobby that's already turned into softcore porn. I see plenty of women self-inserting into Marin because they dream of being the sexy IRL anime girlboss simped for by males but then again those people have terminal pickme tendencies and/or want to date a cute, obedient, fairly attractive moid that worships the ground they walk on and has tolerance for their emotional instability like the male MC does in this garbage fire.

I think I just didn't pay enough attention, but I find Miranjo's story confusing. I was disappointed that her story with the devil didn't have more focus after all the build up in the opening, and I didn't really get the relationship between her and Bosse. Were they really in love? If so, that's creepy. And why didn't Bosse just married Miranjo instead of having two wives? Also, her redemption can't even be really called that. She got rewarded without doing anything to deserve it, besides having a sad past, which is a cheap attempt to make the viewer sympathize with villains.

With Oyasumi Punpun at least it was unapologetically an angry male story told by an angry male detailing the male mindset in many characters but there's something that really disturbs me about male mangakas previously known for masculine stories switching over to creating series about little girls talking like adult men while still being infantile in a cutesy, condescending way.

I was shocked to realize that the two main girls were supposed to be almost adults, compared to how appropriately mature the high schoolers looked like in OPP Asano really took a dirty lolicon dip. Also this is one of the most boring fucking mangas I've ever read, OPP was a drag at times but at least it kept my interest up enough to see what happens next.

To give some “bruh we live in a society (trademark)” moments to the soybois who will sperg about the anime but that never touched the manga.
And then they will show us the alien glitching with their sick ass animation skills, maybe glitch his voice a bit, the alien ship, maybe the cute little aliens for some “uwu moe” mascots to sell merch of I don’t mind though the aliens are cute
And maybe, only maybe, they may show us the fat woman who tries scam people with the aliens as another “bruh we live in a society (trademark)” moment.
Right, I forgot about the forgettable tranny, they will push the tranny down our throats, I can feel it in my bones.

It's such a bizarre thing, b/c they sort of have the appearance of depth – I think if you don't know much about manga/anime, you can see them talking about sex or being gross and be like "oh okay female characters who aren't moeblobs/princesses, cool," but in reality it's like….it's like another variation of dommymommy shit. There's so much anime that presents the ideal woman as being a straight horny nerd dude in a hot woman (or loli's) body. But of course men, and mtfs who are convinced they're women because they relate to "women" created by men for men, love it.

I really liked the Shikimori manga, mainly because the mc is so handsome, and their relationship was really wholesome&realistic (no ecchi!). But just from watching the trailer I can tell the anime is gonna be hot garbage. For comparison, one of the random first pages from the manga. Guy gets almost as much page time as the girl plus he is drawn with great care. MC in trailer looks nothing like in the manga (purple hair? really? his face looks like it's melting). If they didn't bother to animate him properly for the trailer, I can't imagine it'll be any better in the actual anime.

The name makes me laugh, but anyone planning to watch Dance Dance Danseur?
>Dance Dance Danseur tells the story of Junpei Murao, a young man who discovers a love for ballet as a child who forgoes his own aspirations following the death of his father, choosing instead to become more “masculine” and pursue Jeet Kune Do. When a new transfer student named Miyako discovers Junpei’s hidden affinity for ballet, she invites him to her mother’s studio and offers to teach and perform alongside him.

Imho: watch it if you want to see cute guys suffering in war and having mental breakdowns. Gundam doesn't pull punches and some installments are really well written.

The women in gundam surprisingly have personalities (though the original series is pretty trash), but Tomino's logic is basically that men are expandable and women serve to preserve the species and life, so they can't be soldiers and are too emotional. Gundam had a lot of perverted shit (naked sayla poster in the 80s that sold out…) but the series themselves sexualize the male characters as well and beat them up. Oldfags will be mad at me suggesting this, but watch gundam thunderbolt or the first origin movie as a start, they are well animated and short, give you a good intro.

NTA and I'm a Gundam n00b but I started with the original movie trilogy (the original series but condensed). I didn't notice any perverted shit except for that one scene where Mirai (iirc) is seen topless, but I'm aware that there are more scenes of that sort in the TV series.
The female characters aren't as important as the male ones so you'll notice that right away, although they're still there I guess? I don't think it was that bad, especially for such an old anime, but it was still frustrating. I liked Mirai tho

tried watching card captors. it was pitched to me as an anime that was developed by a group of women (CLAMP) and it is artistically a very cute and well written show but some of the reoccurring themes bother me greatly.
these are mild spoilers for episodes in the series so
>sakura has a crush on her older brother’s friend/boyfriend
cute, handled well. her little boy counterpart also has a crush on him. not bothered by this but it sets a future precedent for age gaps in the series
>sakuras dad was a high school teacher who married + impregnated his student
sakura’s dad is presented as a handsome, well liked man. he is called out on the abusive nature of their relationship by sakura’s mom’s friend but this plotline ends in forgiveness on all sides. it’s also noted that sakura’s late mother’s family does NOT fuck with the dad.
>fellow elementary student has a crush on their teacher
the girl makes comments about the male teacher being similar to her father and brings him sweets and such during the school day in occasional episodes… kinda weird but he doesn’t play into it soooo i’d say it’s handled pretty normally.

this is the one that got me though
>sakuras older brother is groomed by his middle school teacher and they have an intimate relationship until she moves overseas
i was like… no. this anime doesn’t know what it is or what it’s doing. she moves back home and becomes a mentor for sakura, no backlash or mention of her molesting one of the main side characters of the series. the anime plays it off like ~they understand each other because magic~ but the context of a little girl having a crush on her teacher/older friend is entirely different than a middle school boy meeting up with his fucking teacher after school to ‘profess their love’ for months… the kicker is when she goes back overseas initially, she doesn’t say anything to break it off with him until the night before she leaves. the brother is freshly a couple years out from his mom dying.
big ass waste of time imo

I just finished Boogiepop Phantom and I love it and I recommend it to everyone here. A lot of anime from the early 2000s are about escapism and being unable to truly and meaningfully face reality and change, but I think Boogiepop is one of the best. Picrel is what the author wrote on his book (it's based on a book), and it sums the themes so well: evolution as change, dealing with past, and dealing with the passage of time. I keep thinking about the scenes where they're rebuilding the city – "as you get older, things change" – and think back to spots that I often frequented a few years back that I no longer recognize now.

This never sat right with me and felt weird even as a kid when I didn't fully get it. To say they dealt with her dad being a pedophile and the predatorial nature of a high school teacher seducing his 16-year-old child bride is way too generous. They really just brushed it off as 'well it was a bad thing but in the end he was a good husband so it's fine.' It's been a long time since I watched or read this series but I believe it wasn't even the age gap and power imbalance that were presented as the worst aspect, but the fact that Nadeshiko's cousin was "jealous" of their relationship. Way to ignore the massively messed up dynamics they chose to include.

You've got me hooked on this nonny and I've been watching over the past few days. For the most part I like it. The female characters are good especially Chinatsu and Chizuru. Tatara's whimpy personality is really annoying but at least the other characters tend to boss him around a lot and call him out on his whining. I was also caught off guard by the frequent fan service. It's not the worst out there but somehow I've managed to avoid it in many of the recent shows I've watched so seeing continual shots like picrel and the boys getting nosebleeds all the time is annoying especially when it deals with high school age characters.

It's a fiction for children, depicting a pedophilic relationship as sweet and wholesome. That's worse than in an adult media (IDGAF about ~problematic~ otome or BL) since children are more affected by it. It can be actually dangerous. The Rika plot is worse than a high school teacher dating and marrying his own student, which irked the other anon.

No worries! Yeah, it definitely feels out of place considering the treatment of the women is positive otherwise. Some aspects that stood out are how Chinatsu bluntly calls out the male-centric judging of dance, the fact Tatara doesn't get to break up Shizuru/Hyodo as a pair but understands they're way above his level, and the way he respects his partners and doesn't want to "dominate" them as the lead. Overall the pacing is really good and everyone except the unrepetent assholes like Kugimiya is nice.

Uh casually displaying relationships like that definitely normalizes it in your head as you're growing up. Why do you think the vast majority of age gap relationships have an older man?

Not my fault if you don't see a difference between a grooming material addressed to children (as CCS is) and content for older teenagers/adults that unsupervised kids can access, at the very best (better ban anything that is more offensive than an episode of Teletubbies!). Media is often being used by pedos to romanticise and normalize pedophilia to their victims (beyond what >>195019 said). If lolicon porn has been used by them, then CCS is even better, since it's so "innocent", cloyingly sweet and presents damaging age gap relationships as something that true love triumphs over.
In my opinion normalizing pedophilia has no place anywhere, but especially not children's media, for many reasons including children learning more from it than adults do. Tell a regular person about a comic for little girls where a 10 year old is dating her 30 years old teacher and see how they react, lol.
just for the record, I don't support pedo and pedo glorifying content in other media, if it wasnt clear – children shouldn't be presented as sexual objects, ever

I'd say it's even worse in Japanese media since it took them a while to stop portraying child-adult romantic relationships as normal or good, when it wasn't that common/didn't exist anymore in contemporary Western media.

True (and sorry for going a bit ot but I find it interesting) but it seems like every country has its own version of messed up romantic media. I remember looking at a study that found when western romance novels were localized for Japan, they would often add a female best friend for the female lead and emphasized the role of platonic relationships more as opposed to the individualistic, "it's us against the world fuck my old friends and family" approach a lot of the western books had. I wish that was more common here as I've seen so many women abandon female friends immediately after they get into a relationship. Not saying that never happens in Japan, but they are definitely a more communal society and it's nice to hear that female friendships are still (sometimes) shown as important.

one of the things i liked is that there's no romance subplot. i'm not demonizing if there's any later on in the story but i'm glad we get to see the characters becoming friends. before i watched the show i dreaded a rush romance between every dance pair shown. it's one of the annoying things in pair-related sports, fans and even judges romanticizing the pair to an extent sending death threats to either of them for having a romantic interest for someone who isn't their dance partner. it happened in pair-skating.

it didn't help that there are movies out there that solidify that stereotype.

Things I didn't like are very spoiler-y so read if you don't care about it.

It is literally metaverse beauty and the beast for weebs. The metaverse in the movie looks ugly as fuck, only the girl's and the dragon-boy's designs are kind of okay. There is no appeal of that metaverse VR world, there are no rules estabhlished, people just pop in and out for no reason and… Float? No one ever talks about what people do in the VR World. There are also no company/admin presence even when users's safety is threatened. It also has that "shy girl sings and blows up overnight and becomes super popular" trope. The VR world uses CG animation which just adds to its ugliness, the main villain/Gaston is horribly generic and uninteresting (also ugly). Plus they can just log off, but no one fucking logs off and instead have these boring fights. This would be kinda based if movie's main idea was "just turn off your computer if you're getting cyber-bullied" but it wasn't it.

In the end, the dragon dude/The Beast Belle hangs out in the VR world turns out to be an abused kid and Belle wants to help him in real life. So she just changes cities to confront an abusive adult man as a highschool girl. But there were multiple adults and also strong male friends around when she takes the decision to go, yet no one objects or asks to go with her despite seeing that the man was clearly vilolent which was fucking dumb.

So in the end it wasn't pretty enough to be just a pretty spectacle that was about nothing, and it doesn't have a good strong plot to stand on. It was just fluff for shy girls to self-insert to but it wasn't even a good self-insert scenario. My fault for expecting a good anime movie when Satoshi Kon is dead.

Absolutely, I was so worried the focus was going to be on Tatara chasing after Shizuku and trying to become her partner. It not only would've been unrealistic since he's so inexperienced but annoying since Shizuku clearly feels Hyodo pushes her to improve more than anyone else. Tatara admiring them and simply wanting to compete on the same floor was so respectful and wholesome. This show also has some of the most genuine growth I've seen in characters. Tatara's lack of self confidence and cowardice really bothered me at the beginning (love Chinatsu calling that out) but he becomes much more mature and able to stand up for himself by the end. The same with Chinatsu who was always amazing but learned to trust others rather than feeling she needs to face things alone. I may have also cried when it was shown that Akira wasn't just a vindictive bitch but has a massive crush on Chinatsu and only continued dancing to try and keep her attention. I felt the story was really mature overall despite the showrunners messing with the source material and throwing in boob shots every other episode. Hope it gets a S2!

It's a movie and a sad one at that, but Princess Kaguya is really beautiful and cute without sexualization. I'd also recommend Houseki no Kuni. I can see how the show might attract genderspecials because it's about a bunch of sexless (but female presenting) personified gems, but I don't engage with the fanbase and that's not the show's focus at all. The mix of 2D and 3D animation is unique but I think it grows on you and the story is engaging.

Deaimon: Recipe for Happiness is about a musician that moves back home when his dad gets sick. In his absence, his parents took in a young girl as an apprentice at their traditional sweets shop. This show has great art and is set up for a healing dynamic
The Executioner and Her Way of Life is a funny new anime this season. Japanese keep getting summoned to another world and the mc has a divine duty to kill them. I like that the mc of an isekai is an other worldly inhabitant, but there is also a mystery.
Ya Boy Kongming is a fish out of water with an ancient Chinese general reincarnated in modern Japan, the mc girl is cute, it drags a bit near the middle but the ending of the first episode is awesome. It's lighthearted.
Aharen Is Indecipherable is slice of life about a guy that sits next to an autistic tiny classmate that can't act normal. It's low quality slice of life but funny.
BIRDIE WING -Golf Girls' Story is a sports anime about a couple of girl golfers that earn money with underground bets and disguises. (Eve, the Rainbow Barette, a fierce and determined player), and her friend (Lily, who is bubbly but skilled) help underprivileged children with their winnings (yes really). The subtitle quality kind of suck
Healer Girl is a new anime about girls that live at a place where they train to heal people with their voices (really). It's slow paced but fun and they have cool hair. Pic related is their master with sake

but i guess the story is arranged chronologically, from what i experienced when i read the manga years ago. it's the chapter title that's confusing everyone.

Anon the characters could be as nice as possible, which they're not, the girl is obviously portrayed as a horny mature for her age 15 year old girl but in a ~wholesome~ way, but the way the camera treats the female character makes everything clear. Don't play dense like the hoards of braindead coomer anime fans that somehow see this show as cute. Even my bf that has a higher tolerance for fanservice because hes a scrote couldn't stop laughing at the cringy fanservice in the first episode, it was really hard to watch.
The author truly could have made the characters college aged, it would have made much more sense. The fanservice would be more tolerable too. But she had to pander to pedos. Boring.

It's true that the main male character has some "personality", but that's the only thing I can give props for. Even then he's a boring retard who spent half the first episode feeling emasculated and crying and whining for having a unique hobby and a really positive and cool male role model.

not surprised considering tiger and bunny was kinda built around western-ish influences/ideals with their characters. huang pao lin was a tomboy that hated the girly gifts from her parents which she feels guilty about but ends up cutting her hair short and wears more boy clothes in the movie. nathan seymour was a gay man and had his own arc in the movie about it as well. not to say it's a trans-issue but the anime and a bit of the movie 'tackles' gender expression.

It's on my list nonny, it's such a random and goofy premise I need to see it. I love how autistic the Japanese get about such niche areas of interest. Also their willingness to shit on themselves for the sake of humor that would get you canceled in most other countries.

>people say he has a "childhood trauma" when it was just one kid girl telling him he was weird
The fact this is literally what most scrotes consider "trauma" when women who have been abused, beaten, raped and mentally degraded sometimes for years yet still prioritize other people is top tier irony. Flashback to my adult ex whining about how a girl laughing at him in primary school has stuck with him for decades while he repeatedly negged me, criticized my every decision and threw in some physical abuse in the hopes of making me his slave. Males would not last one day in our lives.

Late but imho the 2012 original is superior to the version that just got released on Netflix. The 2012 anime follows the manga much more closely and is a straightforward goofy comedy, while the newer Netflix anime tries to give the main character a tragic backstory in a really hamfisted way.

shoujo nowadays seems to focus more on normies dating and relationship drama, i guess that's why they all get a live action adaptation. which is fine, i mean a lot of girls, especially non-otakus enjoy that but when you look at how self-indulgent incel pandering media is it makes me seethe a bit. like why is there no isekai where a depressed female neet goes on an adventure with a bunch of super hot guys totally out of her league? why in so many drama anime movies the girl is the one who is always cheerful and brightens the male lead's day?

At this point for this you'd either need to look into older anime, manga or novels (like the 12 kingdoms, Escaflowne, Magic Knight Rayearth, Fushigi Yuugi, maybe Inuyasha but I never read that one, etc.) or you'd need to be the change you want to see and write a story like that yourself. It's a shame.

No. 196334

nodame cantabile is an example i can think of where the girl is a mess, could be considered a neet in personality though. and it was a popular romance years ago.

honestly, same. but i guess even in fiction girls are too hard on themselves that they couldn't read stories where the female character is less than what they think is beautiful or acceptable. in a way theyre still indulging themselves with hot guys in isekai, it's just that they're inserting into the fantasy with a girl they dream of being.

my reasoning could still be applied in incel isekai stories but men, irl and fiction, can act like trash and still faced less scrutiny than a women doing the same both irl and fiction.

but honestly, i think a depressed female neet in a isekai story would be popular. it's a relatable self-indulgent feeling. someone just has to publish themselves than bother doing it professionally.

No. 196339

Yeah, the guy has a bunch of personal problems and he crossdresses, but at the very least he is more attractive than female mc (very rare) and he attempts to help her out and bring excitement into her life.

>>196333
None of these shows you mentioned have average or ugly girls, fem mcs are all excpetional and far more capable than the moids surrounding them.

>>196331
Yeah I agree 100%. I wish it was more self-indulgent, in most shoujo it's the girl working hard to make the relationship better, and she is always very cute.
Maybe you'd enjoy Yona or Prince Freya though, female mcs are obviously not average neets, but they are at least surrounded by many hot men who treat them like literal queens lol. Definitely more self-indulgent than typical normie tsundere guy and hard working girl couple. Also, Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun has a male mc who is very cheerful and kinda crazy, while the girl is the one who keeps distance from others.

I listed these ones because they fit the whole "normal girl goes to another world to live adventures and meet new characters", and I wasn't actually trying to list anything that fit your description 100% because I can't think of anything at all right now. btw Hitomi from Escaflowne looks plain as fuck but that's just my opinion, and she's not particularly capable compared to the other characters who are actually able to physically defend themselves. Yoko isn't really described as particularly good looking in the 12 kingdoms novels either iirc but it's been so long since I read them. She was just described as looking strange because of her black hair turning red very fast and people thinking she died her hair and was a sukeban because of it. Keiki was described as hot as fuck everytime he showed up, and the rat boy was also described as cute whenever he took his human form.

Samefagging, I feel like if studios want to make magical girls anime only for girls they'll either make cutesy kid shows like Precure or they'll maybe create remakes or sequels of older shows and manga. Boeibu isn't really recent anymore and is about magical boys but it didn't pander to men because it was made for older female fans, especially fujoshi and there's no female character in it so I'm not sure that would appeal to the average magical girl fan who doesn't want to watch a parody. No idea how the second season is though.

Also shojo protags are usually pretty and have good, bright and cheerful personalities, despite being kiiiinda bland or generic with brown hair or w/e. They're always much prettier and have much better personalities than male protagonists in haremshit. They're normal and average people, not utter failures. I think that just shows how low the bar is for Japanese males in general, and how women are always expected to emotionally fix males, even in female-oriented media.

women in media are often supposed to take the caregiver role (regardless of their personality be it gentle or tsundere), reminds me of how in avatar katara assumed the mom role despite being the younger sibling. doesn't help that a lot of real women have the "i can fix him" harmful mindset so they project on these characters even more

Most shoujos if not all have desirable female mcs that are cute, pretty and likeable. Also noticed how shoujos/female-oriented romance anime don't have much fanservice or aren't that sexual like guys being shirtless for a couple of minutes compared to scrote romcom anime where you get boob/panty shots or sexual tension between the male mc and girl for being super close and touchy, pretty much softcore.

Seconding A Bouquet for an Ugly Girl, love the main couple and the fact that the male lead tries to get know her and her interests instead of the other way around. Even though the female lead caught feelings first, we get to see him fall for her. She has a love rival at first but the rival slowly realises that the ml wouldn't have romantic feelings for her, only platonic ones and that she shouldn't focus on letting the guy she likes only see the positive side of herself and not the negative one. The story mostly focuses on the main couple and character growth of the both of them however they do show the growth of the side characters too and their love life. The love rival becomes genuine friends with the fl and makes an effort to make it up to her after all the help she received from fl

SpyxFamily is def a favorite this season. Looking forward to "The Executioner's way of life" and "Ya Boi Kangming" they look fun and low on fan service. I tried to watch dress up darling because my male friend really gassed it up but he also liked Highschool DxD so you know I didnt get my hopes up. I found it grossss I asked him why the main character was 15 and he goes "Well she turns 16 near the end so whatever,really she doesn't look 15 at all." Just made me kinda sigh,why bother. The anime community is really bad about critiquing the medium but they get really excited and are more than able to critique western media without screeching. Another thing that annoys me is the "Dont dare be a woman and have an issue with how women are potrayed in anime!" mentality as well. Even other women enforce it for some reason. I think the anime community is more of the reason I keep anime at an arms length rather than the shows themselves. Western animation community just feels like it has a more solid middle ground TBH.
Like this video is so aggressive for no reason because of a really simple critique and of course this person has a Dress up Darling video on their channel with not a hint of criticism for the show at all. It can be frustrating.

I know what nonnas would say, but I just finished Jobless Reincarnation S2 and I cried like a little bitch. It is honestly too good, story and characters and voice acting.
I know it has fanservice and also the main character starts off as a pervert, but he’s also a kid for real and he’s a sweetheart.

Everything is about money, unfortunately. There are plenty of manga with good stories that don't have excessive fanservice but when they get popular and start selling well it's because they're popular with Japanese normies who won't by crazy expensive blu-rays for long anime and expensive merchandises besides maybe some pins and keychains.

Being disgusted by the poor and overly sexualized portrayal of characters in a "serious" high budget show does not make you "afraid of sexuality". What a dumb scrote thing to say.

One of the anime I have had the most fun with is actually Ladies vs Butlers, and it's ecchi.

You're brainwashed thinking that "lolz random anime girl titties go boing boing!!~" is totally ok which is not.

My sister, 31 years of age, made me watch an episode of Dress up Darling, only I couldn't get past three minutes. In the first episode in like the very first scene the male main character is clearly way too obsessed with those dolls. Plus the moment they are in school this fucking blonde girl for some stupid reason slow motion flies through the air and lands on his desk and starts licking his arm because he got a boo-boo. Absolutely disgusting and ashamed of my sister. She is definitely a pick-me but she thinks she isn't. Of course it wasn't her idea to get into the anime, it was her boyfriend's idea. She even started uwu-ing the main character's name, presumably like how the girl in the anime does it. Despicable. Made me absolutely disappointed in her that day.

Something about My dress up darling triggers a burning hate deep inside me. Maybe it's because the female protagonist is so ridiculously sexualized despite being 15 years old and people acting like a generic ecchi romance anime is better and woker than it actually is because the male love interest is "nice" i.e. not a straight out rapist or an abuser. If it was just another flash in the pan seasonal anime that never made it anywhere I wouldn't give it the time of my day but people really hype up this garbage about, again, a 15-year old girl literally playing porn games and dressing up as the characters in them while being the subject of cheap sex jokes all thorough the series.

It's funny because Princess Tutu has so many high-brow references hidden in it that most of them are completely lost on "little kids" (and on regular viewers). Like Edel's theme that's an adaptation of a part of the Coppélia ballet, which features an automaton girl, or the fact that all 24 episodes are each centered around a specific ballet with subtle references to it, which is a higher number of ballets that the vast majority of people could even name. Princess Tutu is more intellectual that any existing western series, whose only resort in order to look "mature" is to have multiple sex scenes in them

Kek, see the question is, why does it have to be a perverted pedophile in a boy's body? Why do we have to see anime girls masturbating or being raped on-screen? These things only make the story worse, they don't improve it in any way, especially considering that it's anime and has that typical moe art style and that typical annoying and weirdly sexual voice acting. It can only be explained as "scrotes really think degenerate protagonist #35778329844 is peak comedy" and "scrotes need their regular dose of pornographic scenes and objectification of women to enjoy any creative work".
Trying to excuse that shit, and blaming other women of being "puritans" for pointing these things out and not wanting anything to do with this kind of anime, is beyond pathetic. If you (not you nonnies, but the poster from earlier) want to watch this shit and just ignore all the gross unnecessary garbage, go ahead, but don't try to act like it's not there for a reason.

>What did it do different, exactly?
Kind of nothing. It was just in the right place at the right time. Or more like the current climate of coomerism, sex "empowerment" and teens sexualising themselves more than ever helped in birthing this anime and making it so appealing to the current masses. It perfectly appeals to lonely female weebs that want to fit in with the edgy coomer boys. I'd know as sadly I think I would have fit the stereotype a decade ago. I think that type of female weeb used to be more rare outside of 4chan, but nowadays it really leaked everywhere online and all weeby girls want to be the perverted egirl that enjoys eroge, owns a few coomer figurines and an ahegao hoodie.

It's kind of like pic related except make the main female character even more male gazey. Whereas Tomoko was literally a horny pathetic weeb with at least some typical female weeby interests (which are there to poke fun of her or make her seem repulsive) Marin is not only an ultra stacy with a perfect body but she's also into coomer stuff that perfectly appeals to men.

Maybe she really was shooting for the ultimate male fantasy to score points with the coomers. It worked kek.

The fanservice shit is mostly unfortunately obligatory in most shonen anime, but hopefully you still enjoy the series overall. I also recommend Gunbuster if you haven’t seen it, it’s super short (8 episodes I think) and has great female characters (there is some Gainex fanservice but I still think it’s a great show with a super emotional ending). Enjoy your classic mecha anime nonnie!

Dress Up Darling is a shitty anime with two boring protags. I watch a lot of anime and I've finished a lot of bad stuff but I dropped it at episode 4. Marin is just so insufferable. I don't even mind perfect 'waifu' characters but there's just something about her. I think it's specifically that she has zero flaws. Even popular waifus like Zero Two or Komi or whoever else have SOME sort of negative trait. Marin has literally zero. Not only is she beautiful, popular, outgoing, and completely understanding, she's also a weeb coomer with a sexy body who wants to wear sexy outfits based on hentai characters. Her only flaw is that she's oblivious to how horny she's making the MC. Glad she's flavor of the month and will be gone soon enough, though.

It seems everyone is shilling the female characters saying how amazing they are, but honestly I thought they were disappointing, other then Maki Zenin and maybe Nobara none of them were really interesting compared to their male counterparts, because literally all the men were interesting in some way whereas the rest of the girls were, so boring.

Ah yes, because the solution to avoid sexism is to consume content of gay men and ignore women exist.

I like lgb romance stories, but the way some women latch onto gays is pathetic. You don't see the level of worship fujo ships get for other pairings, psycho yurifags are very few and contained to fandoms like love live and other people are just into one character as their husbando/waifu, but with gay pairings you have fujos worshipping the pair like they're in love but not worthy of the relationship.

Utena is still one of the best of all time imo. A lot of it may be hard to follow on the first watch because it's very abstract and metaphorical, but it's definitely dramatic, to put it lightly. Has some of the most complex female characters in anime.

Akuma no Riddle is also pretty fun but it's more like an edgy survival show with some lesbians thrown in rather than the romance as focus.

Bloom Into You, Aoi Hana, and Kase-san are well done slice of life teen romance, but if you're looking for adult characters as the focus I'd rec looking more into manga. There are quite a few manga with adult lesbian characters being published these days, but none of them have been adapted yet.

I… yes? Even if you personally interpret Utena herself as bi or whatever, it's a series about two girls who fall in love. It also has Juri who is unmistakably lesbian. Actual spoilers but teenage girls being raped by a man twice their age does not make them bi, if that's what you are implying. I also would argue that any interest Utena may have had in Touga was because she thought he may have been the prince from her past rather than actual attraction, and of course, Akio was manipulating them both since day one. And I think it's pretty apparent that Anthy only ever loved Utena, the only other kinds of love she may have ever felt in her life was for her brother before he started absuing her, and Chuchu, neither of which I would say were romantic lmao.

See, people like you are why I say Utena is hard to understand… you misunderstood everything so hard I want to think you're baiting but I love talking about Utena so I'll break down your post.

>in the anime Utena was completely hetero.

Do you also think that every time Anthy smiles she's being genuine? People lie in this anime, not only to others but themselves. Sure, she calls herself hetero, but when ultimately given the choice of Touga, Akio, or Anthy, she not only chooses Anthy every time but risks her life and her wellbeing, all to save and protect Anthy in the end, abandoning the social role as the "princess" to do so. The original reason she even wanted to become a prince was to save Anthy the way Dios saved her. Utena as a character is rather headstrong and innocent and has a hard time changing her view on things, especially if she sees herself as right. She's a teen girl who has a one track mind in a show written in the 90's, maybe try reading between the lines a bit in the scenes where she says that and you'll see her trying to convince herself it's true.

>She was clearly enjoying it.

First of all, I fucking hate you personally. Second of all, this is what was going through her head when it happened. Yes, clearly her begging for it to stop is her enjoying it! She also spends the entire time talking about what to make her and Anthy for dinner tomorrow, avoiding eye contact and looking sad, trying to distract from whats happening. Third of all, she was literally groomed since she was in elementary school. Her parents died and while she was vulnerable a grown man said "hehe don't be sad, let's get married, have this ring" and then had sex with her while she was a student at his own school. Akio is the villain here. You aren't supposed to be rooting for this. Utena and Anthy were raped.

There's an interview with Ikuhara where he talks about how he thinks incest is emblematic of people who have very small views of the world. They only think they love their family members because they don't have the life experience or desire to step outside of what they know, so they cling to the people who were born closest to them. Nanami is also someone you aren't supposed to be rooting for. She's abusive, she kills animals, she takes advantage of people, and she thinks she's in love with her brother because she's naive and has a small view of the world.

She doesn't actually stay like this until the end though, because she's fucking traumatized at seeing Akio rape Anthy and being shown what the reality of incest is.

I'm not rooting for this ,but they should show that what happened was in fact rape. Not her talking about fucking meal.
And her waiting to be a prince doesn't equal being a lesbian. You can love someone like a friend and procect them. We can see that in countless anime.
In anime there isn't even single situation that would show that Utena is into women. It's hard to call this anime "lesbian" just because Juri is in it.

Listen, I have some beef with Utena, but you are basically criticizing the anime for following the principles of "show, don't tell" and not being a PSA. She's talking about her meal so she can focus on something mundane instead of the scarier feelings going through her. The STOP STOP STOP is there on purpose. Literally everything in the anime communicates that Akio is a dangerous predator. The moment Nanami is scarred by the reality of Anthy's situation. Anthy's cold stare when Utena catches them. The way he sets up the entire End of the World system for his own ends. The way he destroys his fiancee's life. The explicit things he says about seeing all women as rose brides, aka being there for his use. He's literally compared to Satan. This is like saying Romeo and Juliet isn't about the pointlessness of blood feuds because it focuses on a teen romance.

I honestly refuse to believe you are a girl. I watched all of MT and even read some web novel (years and years ago). The world building in the series is very weak and superficial (Bookworm this season has much more deeper and more vast world building than MT). Characters are all shallow and besdies MC don't seem like real people at all. Conflict is drawn out. But what makes the series really insufferable is that it's 100% a pedophile's power fantasy and it's reflected in every way in the series loud and clear. To start off, MC recorded his preteen niece and was masturbating feverishly to her even in the middle of his parents' funeral. All throughout the series he keeps leering at children, fantasizing about them, they cut some stuff for anime but still left scenes like the Roxy one, beast children, Eris (which Rudeus said he fell in love with as a nearly 40 yo man when she was 10). And the kicker is he is always basically rewarded for his sexual preferences and grooming, because he gets to fuck the kids he is into throughout the series. All of MT resolves around sexuality in some way, the emotional climaxes are all centered on it (with only exception being MC reuninting with his dad, but even that was one-sided and poorly executed). On top of it, you kept calling MC a kid. But he is NOT a kid, he doesn't think like one, we even get a different old guy narrator for his thoughts to highlight that he is very much an adult in a kids body, taking advantage of the situation. In most isekai MC, even if born into a different body, takes over the new body's voice because it's implied that despite having their memories they still have a "child's mind", and besause of that their past self has been altered. But that's not the case with Rudeus, so when you are watching him leering at children and narrating in old guy's voice, how do you not get physically repulsed? This series is so vile, and the fact that it got top notch voice actors and amazing animation is fucking embarrassing. It is the most blatant pedo pandering in mainstream media I've seen recently. The fact that scrotes are praising this show every chance they get is worrying, because it has such a lackluster plot and shallow world building, and the only well-explored aspect of it is sexuality.
Personally, shitty ass isekai shows with overpowered MC are my guilty pleasure, I love Overlord and other silly anime like it, so I would be MT's target audience. But it's not just a fun harmless fantasy show, it's straight up pedophile's fantasy, and because it's packaged so nicely it's all more sinister.

To add to the worldbuilding stuff people keep praising, it's all so shallow! People living in the villages Rudeus visits don't seem like real people, more like caricatures. There were some good moments like Roxy's village and her being unable to understand them, but otherwise it's the same boring shit rich humans bad blah blah. And I also thought those different communities don't seem that different at all, sure we explore sexual side of things, but what about mundane stuff like food they eat, music they listen to, how they like to spend their afternoons, what deities they believe in etc. There's clear lack of thought put into that in favour of more sexual moments. On the surface someone might say "wow, there's so much stuff to Mushoku Tensei's world-building, amazing, so different from other isekai" but the world doesn't seem lived-in at all! Bookworm for example takes place in one city, but that one city has been explored to the absolute fullest, we feel like we know every street, every person, what they eat, how they think, how they interact with each other regardless of mc. Even magic has been approached in realistic way instead of "omg! Genuis GOAT MC can cast magic without incarnation" like in MT lol. If you like kinda emotional world-building (idk how else to call it, basically focusing on emotional side of things instead of culture etc.) then again, Slime Isekai is way better than Mushoku Tensei. It's a simple fantasy world with basic races, but the interaction they have with each other are amazing. It has some fanservice and it doesn't shy away from mild sexual stuff, but it's not the absolute center of every character, more like a natural side of them that gives them additional depth.

Sigh, if you can't take this anime at "face value" but you should "read between the lines" then it's open to interpretations.
How I look on it is my interpretation, you don't have guarantee that your conclusion is right either. Because there is no "right" or "wrong".
For me whole anime was bleak, scrote-ish and very grotesque. They handled rape and incest very badly. The only good thing is Juri and her situation, it was actually intereting.

If all that have that "deep" meaning then what deep and groundbreaking meaning is behind Nanami turning into a fucking cow?

Maybe this scene where she watches her brother take a shower while red faced and panting will help you. You need her to say that she wants to fuck him to finally understand?

Pump a load of money into social media marketing and you're bound to get them hooked on whatever it is you're shilling. That's why they all like mainstream shows too because those are the ones those streaming platforms are pushing. Why spend money marketing more obscure shows when the mainstream stuff performs better in driving subscriptions?

I'm pretty sure the shower scene happened before Nanami ended up being traumatised by the reality of incest and realised it's not really what she wants. Did you miss the ending where she acts like a normal sister and not an incest freak?
My interpretation is that she was confused about her feelings for her brother and maybe she thought that she wants to be his #1 princess (see how it ties into 'all girls are rose brides'?), but in the end it wasn't what she was looking for.

I hate how anime is often seen as great escapism for male weebs but as a girl it actually made me more insecure. I maybe wouldn't mind it so much if it was just a coomer male thing but it sucks that a lot of female creators also share the same tastes in depicting female characters as 10/10 goddesses. At this point there's no difference between a manga written by a man and one written by a woman. People don't want to believe "my dress up darling" was actually written by a woman but it makes sense, more than half of the hentai artists in japan are in fact women. Nekopara is also created by a woman and it's straight up garbage, i was actually a big fan of her art when i was a kid but that was before she went full coomerbait

Fully agree. The girls in even female written anime/manga are super beautiful, sexualized and malegaze-y and I just don't get the point. Women are already expected to perform at peak beauty in every form of media, I wish there were more variety and they would have other redeeming qualities than their conventionally good looks, waifu ranking and how they perform femininity. I guess these women grow up reading malewritten garbage and learn how to depict female characters from those works instead of doing something that wasn't an ultrastacey power fantasy proudly flaunting her perfection. There should be more female characters that were allowed to be similar to male characters with their flaws and all. It's no wonder why so many women end up self-inserting more into the male characters, they're allowed to be much more relatable.

This, I remember loving her illustrations back in 2008ish and I remember seeing them a lot in RP/anime discussions back then lol
I always thought they were super cute. But now her art is super scrotey it's unreal. My theory is women don't really draw in a scrotey way naturally, they learn through the years.

I just really hate how much she had to change. Her early illustrations were cute and calming, they always had an ethereal feel to them and I always started imagining cool stuff whenever I looked at them. All the charm is gone and it feels plastic and empty now. Coom is a fucking disease. It always ruins the charm of anything it touches.

Her art definitely got more blushy blushy and sexualized over the years. This one is still cute for example, I just don't want to post her more recent art because fuck that scrotey shit. I mean, sure, women can like scrotey shit too but her art clearly downgraded from being pretty to just being pretty for the sake of coom. I think it all started when her games came out. I think she at first just wanted to make a game about her characters working at a maid cafe or something similar. Scrotes hands and the scrote gaze ruined it all.

What do you mean by "10/10 goddesses"? If you're lamenting the fact that female anime characters tend to be boring and one dimensional, and rarely ever grow through complex, humanistic struggles, then I totally understand and share your pain. If you mean you wish they weren't drawn super stylised and cute, and would prefer if they had more flawed appearances, then I'd have to say I disagree. I don't mind them being unrealistically perfect looking. Like yes I'm also insecure and anime definitely contributed to that when I was a kid, but at the end of the day it's a cartoon. It's supposed to be out-of-this-world pretty.

Yet most if not all of the male main characters are plain or stupid as hell because they allow the male audience to self-insert without making them feel insecure. But there are very little plain girl MCs, and if they are then they act stereotypically cute, have ridiculous glow-up later in the story or have some kind of super power that makes them too unrelatable. Most mainstream anime is made for moids, when they're made for women they get shit on and they usually involve pretty men.

No. 202184

>>202178
NTA but the main problem is the lack of variety. Almost all female characters are supposedly beautiful and perfect in every way, their only "flaw" might be that they're a crybaby, modest, naive or coy which is rather seen as a virtue when it comes to female stereotypes. There's a stark difference between the portrayal of female and male main characters and it speaks volumes of societal expectations of both genders, men are allowed to accept themselves as flawed beings while women have to constantly idolize and emulate an unrealistic goal.

No. 202186

That's a good point. There are tons of popular shows with a male protagonist whose only traits are "stupid" or "pervert". I can't think of any girl equivalents aside from harem extras who never end up with the lead, and even then characters like that are always oversexed male fantasies.

for me even if a work is gross or scroteish, it doesn’t bother me so much if it was made by a woman.

Well nonnie that's basically the problem that's being brought up in multiple posts already. Stories that would make a great media experience without unnecessary sexualization and coomer brainrot never get an audience because shit like Mushoku Tensei or Dress up Darling gets all the money and resources that could go into creating something better. The coomerpandering has gotten so bad that it's not an occasional meme anime per season but instead half of the roster, not only that but it's also being shilled in series that don't need it and are degraded for having it added. Like if an anime like Madoka Magica or Tamako Market was made in 2022 it would probably have a horny masturbation scene and a ton of gratuitous panty/ass shots and tit jiggles. You can see it in the new promotional artwork released for older anime series, they always up the sexualization to ridiculous levels.

The most recent episode was difficult to watch. The main character was an approval-seeking little twat while the sweet shy guy got mercilessly bullied, in large part due to the other dude's insecure comments. Not saying it wasn't a realistic portrayal of high school age kids, I just wish there was more dancing and less drama. I don't give a shit about monkeybrain and his dickless friends, I just want to see more actual dancing.

Some of my impressions from 2022 Spring
>Spy x Family
Obviously very good, magical first two episodes especially. Around episode 3 animation quality drops a little, but it's still enjoyable. Manga is a bit better I think, so I'd recommend checking it out first.
>Shield Hero Season 2
I hated Season 1 with loli slave stuff, felt so fucking gross, on top of false rape accusations. Surprisinly, 2nd didn't start as bad as 1st, there's less focus on male lead. He almost disappeared for one ep. There's a girl with adorable character design (green braided hair). Plot leads to nowhere and the series is really boring though.
>Kaguya-sama Season 3
Romantic comedies for men are usually nauseating, but Kaguya isn't so bad. After three seasons of the same jokes repeating over and over again, countless failed confession scenes, very samey formula, it gets tiring. I can't imagine binging this show, it's fine if you watch it weekly.
>Gaikotsu Kishi-sama, Tadaima Isekai e Odekakechuu
Damn this one… there's always explicit or implied sexual violence in like every episode. A guy isekais into fantasy world as huge skeleton and saves various girls from getting raped or mauled by monsters. Scenes of sexual violence are sooo long, taking up half the episode in one case, and they are especially weird af since the tone of the series is supposed to be so cheerful. Like one second we have "haha funny skeleton man likes food", "haha adorable dog spirit won't leave my side" to scenes of kids getting sex trafficked. Idk who this show is for?
>Kawaii dake ja Nai Shikimori-san
This one really doesn't work as anime, simple scenes that were like couple pages long take minutes on end… It's another one of the "10/10 girl with bland guy" romcoms for men, but at the very least I thought the guy was really cute and sweet. I think some nonnies will enjoy it, but only if they are into his character design, which definitely isn't as good as in the manga.
>Shijou Saikyou no Daimaou, Murabito A ni Tensei suru
Anime about demon lord being reborn as an average villager… Except it's not it at all lol. First half of first episode was pretty good, some fun comedic moments of an awkward ex-demon lord trying to make friends, funny inner monologue, blah blah, but it turns into shit so quick. Somehow all comedy disappears, he gets even more powerful than in his past life, and gets a harem of girls he goes on dates with… Why even bother with that demon lord set up or comedy in the first epsiode???
>Heroine Tarumono! Kiraware Heroine to Naisho no Oshigoto
I loved it, the story follows a village girl moving into a big city and somehow landing a job as a manager of a popular idol team. It's simple and cute, MC has a fun personality and unique character design. Guys are assholes at first but they warm up to each other (and her) slowly, it also helps that MC can stand up for herself and won't take shit from them. It's a cliché story but it's nice to see something made for female audience that's not completely terrible.
>Healer Girl
Sweet and refreshing story with a lot of singing. Some other anon recommended it itt and yeah, it's really good. Top notch animation, voice acting and production quality. It gets better as you go and familiarize yourself with the girls, you really start rooting for them. So far we haven't gotten a lot of info on them individually, I guess we are meant to view them as a team, but still I'd like to know more about them, their backstory, etc.
I don't wanna completely shit up the thread so I'll write rest of my impressions later on.

Gonna blab a bit too nonna
I was originally looking forward to the season but now I'm really lukewarm on everything. I read SxF manga so I feel the anime is a little underwhelming tbh the director seems to be taking a more grounded/serious route with the story instead of how lighthearted and comical the manga feels. I just hope it wont affect the school episodes.

Like you said about Kaguya, while still funny, is getting kinda old. Still one of my favorites of the season but I don't feel that excitement starting an episode like I did with season 2. I haven't read Shikimori-san's manga but the anime is so slow-paced I can see what you mean by it probably being better in manga format. I'll have to check it out since I'm enjoying the premise.

Have you watched Anos-sama's anime from last year? It does the OP demon lord in a past life thing much better than the one this season just because it wholly embraces how OP he is kek I found it a fun watch.
Do you watch everything every season?

Heroine Tarumono to me was kinda meh, the girl has that one specific anime voice type that comes of as grating to me and is slightly too genki for my personal taste, and the art at some points can look a bit icky, but I'm actually curious what will happen next so I'll keep watching.
As for Healer Girl, as it started I was a bit afraid the singing would be done in a too tryhard-emotional way but it was actually really cute and I enjoyed it.

The production quality of Heroine is definitely below average like you pointed out, thankfully it doesn't get much worse, but if you can't get past it I wouldn't continue it tbh. It's cute and all, but the story isn't anything special (like obviously the asshole idol boys warm up to her and fall in love). It's just that I'm in huge shoujo drought, there's barely any anime made for adult/adolescent women. So I lap up anything that's available lmaoo. Down the line there are some fun moments of them exploring their goals (especially track for the MC), what comes with being an idol and drama between different idol groups, but the focus still stays on the MC.
I'm glad you enjoyed Healer Girl though, hopefully you'll find it more fun as you go!

>>203238
I agree, but episode 4 of SpyxFamily gave me some hope. The comedy was done pretty well, it was way more pronounced than in the previous episodes. That being said, I think the director decided on the "serious" route because manga later on took that direction as well? I've read up to volume 8, and I've notcied that there was a lot more subpar drama and serious action scenes in later volumes instead of funny interactions.
I think you'll enjoy Shikimori's manga much more, there's more focus on the guy, and he looks much better drawn (more detail, dark hair).
Oh yeah I remember that Anos anime, it was enjoyable. I wish more male power fantasy anime embraced the comedy route, it would be more fun for everyone, not just adolescent boys. Have you seen Hataraku Maou-sama? It's kinda similar, but the demon lord mc actually loses all his powers and has to survive based on his personality alone lol.
And yeah I usually watch everything, wbu?

Yor is an adult too, thankfully. I think maybe you might hopefully enjoy something from this list? I know nothing about your taste, so just based on general assumptions.
>Paripi Koumei
Famous Chinese strategist (Kongming) teleprots in time to modern day Japan. He's charmed by singing of a random girl and decides he is going to make her into a top star lol. It basically treats club scene, music festivals, internet fame, as a huge battle. He implements different strategies he got so famous for to dominate the music industry. All while not losing his personality, sense of style and flair. You don't need extensive history knowledge to enjoy the show, it's just an added bonus for history nerds. There's also nothing creepy or romantic going on between singer and Kongming thankfully.
>Deaimon
Episodic slice of life series about a guy coming back to his home town to help with wagashi (Japanese sweets) business. Every episode focuses on a different person and their approach to Japanese tradition. It has really pretty scenes of making wagashi, describing them, etc. Sweet, calming series with amazing production. Also one of the best portrayals of breakup I've ever seen. Unfortunately, one episode has a crossdresser. It's not a trans woman, but a guy who likes to dress up. It didn't seem creepy to me (I remember some anon really didn't like it and it made them drop the series tho so be careful). Personally, I think it comes with territory that we aren't going to relate to every single character of episodic story.
>Dance Dance Danseur
Absolutely insane ballet sequences. It's a very dramatic series with love triangle about ballet. It's kinda annoying at times with the endless conflict between dancers, but the ballet scenes make it so worth it imo. If you were into Yuri on Ice or Bakuten you are going to like it. Also the MASSIVE eyes characters have are so charming lol, character designs look as dramatic and stylish as the anime itself. It's made by Madhouse so animation quality won't drop in later episodes.
>Meitantei Conan: Zero no Nichijou
Anime about side character from Detective Conan. I like Detective Conan but I'm watching it with my friend who's never seen it and she likes it a lot too. It's delightful 12 minutes per ep of fanservice for girls. Especially first episode with him brewing tea, taking care of cafe, and in general being hot as fuck is kino. There are some cases he has to resolve sure, but tbf it's all about him chasing after criminals, putting on his watch, etc. Mindless fun.

Speaking of seasonal anime, is anyone here watching LotGH: Die Neue These? Have you watched the old OVA series, and if so, how do you think this new adaptation compares to it?

Have you also read the novels? At first, I didn't know it was a direct adaptation of them and that all the "changes" I hated at first were actually there in the source material, and it was the OVA that changed some things. I got over that and started to appreciate the new version more, and them adapting or even expanding upon some parts that were absent in the first anime is amazing, but I still don't like it as much as the OVA.
For instance, the soundtrack is extremely lackluster compared to the OVA's OST. I also don't like the art style that much (not to mention the CGI ships), when there are characters with more realistic faces they don't look that good most of the time I think, and the designs that have more stylized faces, like some of the main characters, i.e. Reinhard, Kircheis and Yang, look like they belong in a different anime (give them a fucking nose! it looks especially ridiculous when they're standing next to another character around their age who has an actual nose kek). Sometimes they come really close to having an "anime muzzle", especially in certain angles. That's just a pet peeve of mine, though. I do really like some of the designs, such as Mittermeyer here (Reuenthal's is atrocious imo), and have to admit the animation really is high quality like so many people say. But it's just my taste…
Something that actually affects the quality, maybe, is the way they chose to make each episode all about one side and alternate between the two sides. It gets boring fast, unlike in the OVA where everything felt more fast-paced with the constant switching between the two in the same episode. But what I really hate is the overly dramatic way everything is portrayed. It's like, they have this weird dramatic way of saying things, use these weird dramatic angles, etc., when in the old anime they talked more or less like normal people discussing politics and war and tactics, and so on, as if it were mundane stuff, which really made the flow of the dialogue and narration feel smooth and the pace relatively fast, and still managed to be exciting, badass, shocking, moving, engaging, serious, and more. It could just be because it was adapted for modern anime audiences but yeah, there's a big difference there, like the new anime tries too hard to make the plot seem smart and serious but it's just excessive, and I feel like not many people talk about it. But maybe that's just me. What do you think?

I have downloaded every episode of this new anime to date, but have only been able to finish the first season. I guess I'm just too attached to the OVA lmao

I fucking loved it, anime of the season for me. Anyone interested in it though NEEDS TO SKIP THE FIRST EPISODE. It isn't canon, it isn't good and it isn't representative of the rest of the show. Just watch from episode 2 onwards. Lucius is adorable and I love weird time travel stuff like this. It is a funny show with mild educational elements and even ends with a (live action) mini tour of Japanese baths and hot springs after each episode. FWIW I recommend the dub, its pretty good. The subject matter does mean there is a lot of nudity (more so than anything else I've seen) but a lot of it is technically hidden by way of camera angles, steam, bubbles and so on so the overall atmosphere isn't sexualized even though it easily could have been. If you want to enjoy it from a fanservice perspective you easily can but the show isn't catered to that. I really hope it gets a season 2 in part because the mangaka very overtly wrote herself in to interact with Lucius towards the story's end and I personally just think it is hilarious that such a niche character type (Ancient Roman bath architect) was this one woman's personal husbando. Oh and it wasn't enough to self insert she married an actual Italian man too, her IRL Lucius. End stage for a Husbandoist.

The BEST THING about the show though is that it has been making me have very relaxing spa themed dreams. I can't afford to go to a spa now IRL but at least I can enjoy them in my dreams thanks to this anime.

Hate you have to learn it this way, but a lot of otaku fujo women are coomer brainrotted as well. Let me just point towards the myriad of yaoi where being penetrated and femininity in general is seen as lowly and the guy says 'oh no I'm being turned into a fucktoy like a girl~' or something like that. Or look at the ton of ABO mpreg porn that spread to Japan as well, I even see fujos draw bestiality (VNs have it at least in weaker form, remember dmmd). It's very rare to find something anime related that's truly by women for women nowadays, most such creators moved to live action and dramas.

I'm just tired because the western anime fandom is full of pick-mes who want to be the cool girl that's fine with objectifying women and using epic loli reaction images, but on the other side of the coin you have twitter woke pick-mes who shit on any kind of femininity, everything has to be enby and the characters are gay babies while you are their caretaker, if you want a good female mc you are a lesbo hetfag.

you can't just single out fujos as being brainrot coomers when i've seen a ton of questionable yumejo porn, a lot of otome games have rape scenes, and don't get me started on the wattpad y/n stories with even stronger misogynistic undertones. that stuff to me is 10x more offensive than a random fuckboy twink getting his ass destroyed

I don't uwu think of the poor men, I am fine with sexualizing and objectifying men, but degen fetishes are the same as coomer shit.

Yes, it is true that yaoi is an effective moid repellent, but is it that good for women, honestly? What about the women who aren't particularly enthusiastic about guys kissing or fucking each other, should we force ourselves to like it instead of demanding more female-oriented content outside of yaoi? The reason I and the other anon are frustrated is because women who create anime art are mostly either male-pandering coomer artists or fujo artists, and we would like for more female creators to make stuff for women that isn't BL.
Scrotes bully and seethe at all women who like attractive 2D boys, not just fujos btw (they call yumejos "fujos" too). Also, liking shoujo doesn't make you a yumejo, shoujo can be enjoyed by anyone, but something like otome games is exclusively for women and have next to zero appeal for males, I don't know why you people always conflate shoujo anime with yumejo media, you don't even know if that anon is a yumejoshi.

>This is like saying, what's wrong with human cattle doujins for moids? It's just a breeding fantasy and not all of them like it.
ABO is pure fantasy and no man would ever be able to get pregnant, plus it doesn't involve women, there's no way that women can act it out in real life (unless you count trooning out, getting pregnant and pretending to be male). On the other hand, human cattle involves enslaving women and treating them like animals, which definitely happens in real life, and many scrotes fantasize about it. Maybe a better comparison would be ABO and futa shit.

Gay moids can also like BL, I used to have a male friend in middle school who was gay and to this day is still into that (made by and for women).

NTA but I don't know what point you're trying to make here. The point is that scrotes, straight or gay, will infiltrate any female-oriented anime/manga/game genre, so the fact that the straight ones might watch some non-BL anime for women doesn't mean that we shouldn't demand more of it and settle for yaoi.

but that literally happens in every kind of media, also how hard is it to comprehend that what made you insecure might not even be noticed by other women, while they felt insecure by something you didn't notice elsewhere? Like this anon said >>203650 she doesn't even think shoujo MCs are perfect,. You happened to notice the way they are drawn, but that's because of the art style, and most girls don't think too much about it and still are capable of relating to those protagonists despite looking nothing like them.
Ok, the generic but pretty shoujo protagonists gave you more insecurities, but there are other women, like some (some) fujos who feel insecure about being women because they idealize homosexual male relationships and see straight relationships and/or women as inferior, and others became insecure because they compared themselves to the female characters in hentai or haremshit that they watched. It's not the same for everyone.

If you're not a fujo then why are you even making that argument?

If you browse Japanese sites and fandom spaces it's even more obvious, and the only way I can filter it is by blocking specific ship names and even then I know some gross guro artists who don't tag their shit and don't go private.
>Maybe instead of shitting yourself over such a small niche audience of women start caring about majority of moids?
This is the same as the argument that instead of censoring the small niche audience of lolicons we should first take care of real children in danger, moids pull that kind of argument all the time. You're obviously not in the community, some anons here are and see that shit all the time.

How do you know that brutal gore, pig stuff is not drawn by men? You are fighting with imaginary enemies kek. Instead of tearing down other women (I doubt it's even women in most cases…), look at moids that completely dominate mainstream with their degeneracy. And tbh I don't care what some random Japanese girl draws to get off, I know it doesn't influence crimes or harm anyone. Meanwhile moids who get off to drawn children are likely to offend.
The argument you use on the other hand is "b-but what about female rapists!!!" when they are a very small percentage compared to crushing majority of degenerate and dangerous moids. Fuck you.

Again with the fucking bestiality thing? Incest, age gap that borders on shotacon sometimes, rape, gore, etc. are not that rare in yaoi. It's not usually found in more mainstream stuff for obvious reasons, but it doesn't take a lot of digging to find that kind of yaoi porn. Yaoi with actual bestiality might not be that common (even though it definitely exists), but what about all the other gross shit? And again, most fujos don't just consume the mainstream stuff, they look at explicit fanart, write fanfiction and read doujinshi. You're not a fujo so naturally you don't know about it.

rape and shotacon are the only disturbing things there (and frankly most shotacon art i've seen is just shota x older sister or art that is clearly done by gay moids). incest, age gap and gore are common in het fiction too. rape as a fetish is incredibly common in all female-oriented media, not just BL! yes i also hate it, but it's true that a lot of women fantasize about it, unfortunately i had a much older relative who was into that and she was obviously not a fujo

I've been on here for years, but I digrees. I just find it depressing that in the arguably most male coomer ridden art form people still find a way to shit on women. I've been to many cons and I've seen a shitton on loli anime pillows in the open, I had guys tell me to my face that having slave gf would be hot as fuck because they played some visual novel with a girl that's physically disabled due to constant abuse, etc. A harmless fujo reading degenarate yaoi is literally hurting nobody but herself, but guys who are into degenerate shit don't only jack off to 2d. Lots of Japanese lolicons base their art on real children, and many of them offended or have plans of offending or own cp.

You supposedly claim you are not a fujo but you keep getting so invested in this discussion and whiteknighting, despite the fact you have no idea what media is popular among fujos, anons even linked you examples. Hell, I can go to my feed for the games I play and find you examples of jp female artists who draw pretty bad things, you can do it too if you go on twitter and pixiv so I don't know why you claim it's 99% drawn by men for men, you have no fucking clue.

And you refuse to listen, not all BL media is bad but anons hate the obvious degenerates with trash taste. And just because we dislike those types doesn't mean we think they're worse than men or that moids did nothing wrong.

>Because that's what she wrote about mostly, about bestiality and pig yaoi porn.
No. Not at all.
>but a lot of otaku fujo women are coomer brainrotted as well. Let me just point towards the myriad of yaoi where being penetrated and femininity in general is seen as lowly and the guy says 'oh no I'm being turned into a fucktoy like a girl~' or something like that. Or look at the ton of ABO mpreg porn that spread to Japan as well, I even see fujos draw bestiality (VNs have it at least in weaker form, remember dmmd)
She mentioned something else that is more common in yaoi, ABO/mpreg, then said "I even see fujos draw bestiality", which isn't a lie at all, but the bestiality part wasn't the focus of her sentence, the focus was on how many fujos have coomer brainrot like the women who draw scroteshit porn, which, again, isn't a lie. In a later post she said this:
>Open pixiv daily and you'll see such stuff. That's all you need. You'll find Aichi from that card game getting raped by a pig, piss stuff and very weird degenerate fetishes. If you dig deeper and find the artists twitters you'll see that they're women
And again she's not lying, even if such content is niche and not very popular, which she isn't denying, it does exist and it's made by women. But this part is not very important and it's only one of the most extreme examples among all the other kinds of fujo coomerism, you just chose to fixate on this one thing and ignore her actual argument.
Nowhere in her entire post did she say that she hates fujos or that they should stop doing what the do, or that they are just as bad as the moids who draw extreme porn. She's only saying that both pick-me women who draw porn for scrotes and a lot of fujos are coomers, and that she wishes there were more female artists who make stuff for women (unlike the pickmes) but isn't BL, because not all women like or exclusively like BL. We can want something like that and at the same time acknowledge that scrotes will always be worse, but that's not relevant to this discussion so bringing up male degeneracy to defend fujos from a non-existent attack is pointless.

>>203709

I think the choice of bathing subjects works to the manga's/show's favor. Bathing is something everyone does, not just hot, young people and this fact motivates Lucius to design baths that are accessible for bathers of all ages. It would be a very different, more limited, and potentially more voyeuristic show if it only featured attractive people as bathers. The show overall does a good job of handling nudity in a non-sexualized, non-voyeuristic way and I would not have anticipated that it was possible to depict the subject matter in that sort of way prior to seeing this.

It didn't exactly ruin it for me, instead I just see it as a completely different series, although comparing the two as I watched DNT was fun. There are people who watched the OVA a long time ago and loved it, and are enjoying this new adaptation too. So if you don't mind the new designs and the new voices (which btw I think they tried to make as similar as possible to the OVA ones in some cases, but with varying degrees of success) you might like it. It's not as bad as I initially thought, that's for sure. If you haven't read the novels it might even get you to read them. The characters are still the same for the most part except for what I mentioned previously, if that's what you're worried about.

Have you watched the Gaiden series yet, nona? I've downloaded it but not watched it, in part because I really miss Yang's original voice actor.
(The other reasons are that I don't like the animation compared to the more classic look in the main series and tha I'm not sure if my favorite character will show up at all.)
>Alright, I'll give the first season a try, then if I finish it we'll motivate each other to watch the rest
It's a deal! By the way, I have skipped season 2 entirely just to watch the episode where a certain someone adopts his dog, and it made me insanely happy how they made that part longer than in the OVA or the novels, so you might enjoy some of the "new" or expanded scenes with Yang. And if you don't like something in the new anime you can always take the OVA as canon, lol. But it's always fun seeing new takes on the same story and characters.

This anime might have the most blatant example of a manic pixie dream girl I've ever seen, kaori as a character feels too unreal in the context of the story even her tragic death has a fairytale vibe to it, I didn't feel any emotion when it happened. I like how they explored arima's trauma though.

In fact, the whole show excuses abuse cause kaori and tsubaki are also violent with him for muh slapstick comedy

Oh I completely agree. It's just old man overload, especially in the beginning.

I just finished the series! It was fun.
Feeling really sorry for Livia though. Imagine being a Roman woman, very dependant on your husband, and just there to have children basically. But your husband is away for 3 years with the gay emperor, and never makes babies with you despite being married together for many years.

That's a cultural thing. My parents are from two different African countries that shall not be named and they have that exact same crazy mentality. They'll say that beating the fuck out of their kids is for their kids' own good, that it's harmless and that they also went through the same thing, but they all have daddy issues as a result. Their entire generation think this way. I saw a hafu youtuber saying the same thing too about his experience in middle school and how some of their sports coachs in middle and high school also beat the shit out of thzir students

It’s great and very underappreciated in the west. It never really got pushed as hard as other shoujo at the time but it’s a huge classic and very famous in Japan. I like how Maya is not the typical ditzy protagonist, she is a bit naive sometimes but that’s because she’s literally a kid at the start of the show. Otherwise she is so hardworking and determined, she’s truly admirable. There are also a lot of cool, serious scenes about acting and getting into a character’s mindset. It’s fascinating. I love the relationship between her and her rival, Ayumi. It starts out antagonistic especially Ayumi towards Maya, but they grow as people and learn to respect one another which is amazing to see between two female characters. Heads up that there is quite a large age gap romance between Maya and her love interest. Fortunately, it is very minimally focused on in the show.

My theory is that since Japan is said to be 20-30 years behind on feminism, mangaka (and r18 otome game artists too) unintentionally play into that "you are your own voyeur" Margaret Atwood quote.

In the manga Livia doesn't stay with Lucius. I guess they kept her for the running gag of her failed attempts to seduce him. I mean, it is funny but its too easy to feel sorry for her as well. Or maybe they kept her around so there was a convenient reason for why Lucius rejected that one female bather that was flirting with him. I would disagree with that being needed though, Lucius isn't demonstrated to be lascivious, he actually kind of comes across as a bit shy/prudish. Would it really have been so unbelievable for him to decline sex even if he wasn't married?

If they make a season 2 Livia will need to divorce Lucius so he can get with the Mangaka's self insert.

Either way I'm glad you liked it!

IDC what people say about maledom or femdom (or vanilla) yume art, female gaze should be focused on the male and appealing to women that way, not making the woman look better or "juicier". The pic you posted is alright and I'd consider it female gaze, but this shit doesn't even look like the artist tried >>204168 it's almost exactly the same as male gaze in hentai except that guy also appears in the picture and his face is not hidden.

Everyone claimed it's sOoOoOoOo deep and touching, but it's all cheap melodrama. oh how tragic, the perfect waifu MPDG does so the boring protag can play music again!

Nonnies, they have a lot of problems not related to trashy otaku media. There was a scandal just a few years ago at a big uni how female and male students were scored differently at uni exams and they made it harder for female students to graduate. Then we have the general social pressure to be a stay at home mother and take care of the grandparents and children, lots of push by the beauty industry to buy more products (this is bad in the west too, but I have seen some japanese women complain about the amount of ads they were seeing every day), much stricter body weight standards, gynecologist visits being seen as shameful and vaginismus or lack of pleasure basically being a taboo topic, sexism at work, police not taking reports of stalkers seriously (the incident with that idol stabbing where the guy only got 4 years after permanently disfiguring and damaging the nerves of a young singer and she lost her case against the tokyo metropolitan police), also stuff like Okamoto getting a slap on the wrist for cheating on his wife while Runa got fired from all her jobs for cheating on her boyfriend.

Ignoring the fact that almost every altchan has better hobby discussion than 4shit and that this imageboard is the best if you want non-scrote opinions, wapchan is a relatively recent one that is mainly dedicated to retro anime stuff (pre-2000s). You can have good discussion there, although it's a pretty slow site with few regular users. I think they're also considering addding a board for 2000s anime when they get big enough.

Yes, it has one of my favorite OPs ever, though I don't remember the plot very well. (I believe it takes a convoluted tech-thriller turn with the movie length last episode.) I just remember it appealing to me as a depressed 19 year old, with the gloomy cyberpunk atmosphere and rainy cityscape. I'll try to remember similar stuff I've seen, haven't kept up with anime much anymore.

I gave this show a shot because the sound track is amazing but the show itself isn't very good. It primarily suffers due to the bizarre choice to focus on the less interesting of the two male co-leads. How is the (basically retarded) regular human boy living in human society more interesting than the forcibly turned child soldier living among vampires? Mika is a really compelling character with a lot of potential but he's stuck in a bad show, sidelined in favor of people far less fascinating. Would have been a lot better had it been about Mika. I remember liking Shinoa as well, Shinoa and Mika could have carried the show on their own.

No. 205241

>>205240
Nta but Shinoa was fine until she got turned into the boring love interest of the extremely stupid MC (Yu). It also reeks of coomer with all the boob-grabbing scene with the other girl and all the "I'm horny and in love with the protagonist, I can't help it but I must resist uwu" shit.
I also fucking hate the whole family talk and Guren stabbing literally everyone in the back while acting like a mysterious guy and everyone being fine with that. The show and manga are plagued by shitty shonen writing, which is a shame because some characters are (or were) interesting.

That's it, I've watched the first season

I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. The animation team knew that the worst part of the OVA was how it looked, and everything just looks much, much better now, in no small part thanks to 40 years of technological progress. The cities look believable, the backgrounds are refined, there are even some close ups on the food the characters eat, which make the whole universe feel much more alive. Since the sometimes outright weird aspect of the OVA was what kept irking me, I felt much more immersed. I even liked the 3D ships, which are miles above the 50 dots on an animation cel sliding across the screen in the OVA
I think the most important difference was that the OVA treated the story as a documentary, while the new series treat it more like a regular fiction. For instance, the only music the OVA had was monotonous classical music, and the dialogues were much more succinct and to-the-point with very few pauses between each lines, which are characteristic of documentaries, where the focus is on conveying information rather than making something exciting. The introduction dialogue between Kircheis and Oberstein is about 25 seconds longer in DNT, which is an enormous difference considering that it is nearly the same word-for-word: what changes is longer pauses, which is what would occur in a natural dialogue. Both design choices are understandable, albeit to me anime is a worse medium than a book to make a documentary, so I'm glad with the choice made in DNT. It's certainly a bit more dramatic than the OVA (that seizure scene kek), but it's still less dramatic than the average anime, which to me shows it's still true to the spirit of LotGH
In any case I'm down to watch more, are you still willing to watch the rest of DNT?

Holy shit, you were right. Pic related is the number of anime series on MyAnimeList by demographic. Look at how rarely Josei gets adapted into anime.

>>205968
kek, basically everything you dislike or like less about the OVA is what makes me like it more than DNT. But you're also totally right I must admit. Like this
>the 3D ships, which are miles above the 50 dots on an animation cel sliding across the screen in the OVA
made me laugh out loud because it's so true.
The way you describe the OVA, as a documentary, is an pretty accurate description, and might be why I prefer the old series as well.
I guess DNT is really made for a whole different audience, which isn't a bad thing at all. Even though I don't like DNT as much, as long as more people find out about LoGH I'm happy, no matter which version. It sucks that Crunchyroll apparently didn't advertise the third season when it came out (iirc they didn't even announce it), they don't seem to be promoting this new series a lot.
>In any case I'm down to watch more, are you still willing to watch the rest of DNT?
I'm glad you liked it so much. I'm still interested in watching seasons 2 and 3 (maybe not right now, but soon), like I said before, it's fun to compare both versions to see what major differences there are, not to mention that I'm dying to know how they'll handle certain scenes. And I can't wait to see how the newcomers will react to other plot twists! That's very fun too.

No. 206471

I did. I stopped watching almost any anime for a few years bc I got so burnt out from keeping up with seasonals. I don't know about your reasoning, but personally I think a big part of why I watched so many seasonals was bc my only interaction with other anime fans were my social media mutuals, so I wanted to keep up with the crowd. So glad I deleted my SM kek. Of course I did and still do enjoy some current seasonals, but when I look at my list I just see so much shit I could've gone without watching. And also when I look at my "watching" list, it's way less daunting to see 2 or 3 anime instead of ~20 (although maybe you aren't as retarded as I was and your seasonal count is less). I encourage you to take a break to dig into your backlog though! Missing out on seasonals is worth it.

Seasonal anime is mostly bad lately but every season there's a least one show that is pretty good, so it's always a good idea to keep an eye on what's airing.

Some nonnies itt are either complete newfags who barely watched any anime or are just looking for outrage, I've personally never seen lewd SxF art (I have no doubt it exists, but if you aren't in any seedy places you ain't going to find it), in fact I've only seen some thirst posts about Loid. In the anime itself they aren't sexualized at all, sure they both have attractive character designs, but nothing vulgar or overexaggerated. I understand why My Dress up Darling was frowned upon, it had entire episode dedicated to "exploring" naked body of 15 yo, and from skipping through some other eps I've seen ecchi scenes with character who didn't look older than 8. There's nothing of the sort in SxF, but reading some posts here would make you think they are flashing titty every episode kek.
