On the other hand I hope that the new silent hill written by ryukishi07 turns out good, the trailer spooked me out and it did bring back ideas of Hinamizawa. To bring it back to anime, I think Higurashi Gou and Sotsu were very disappointing but I've heard that ryukishi07 had minimal involvent with it, mostly giving a thumbs up to whatever they showed him. Something about wanting people to come up with their own stories or something, he's done that with manga adaptations of his visual novels as well I think. I'm not the biggest Higurashi fan, it's iffy at times.

I am glad shiki made so many cameos, she looked really good with the super bouncy animation.

>>428562The animation in the anime is insanely good. Normally anime has one or two eps of sakuga and then it defaults to shitty stiff animation, i dont know how they managed to afford 12 episodes of fluid, bouncy animation. It was a blast to watch for the animation alone.

Though my main issue with it so far hasn't even been so much the visuals and more so that there's just way too many girls, so instead of following the formula of giving each of them an episode they tend to just focus on the idol groups as a whole, so you end up feeling way less of an attachment to them. I wouldn't really recommend watching it and I'm thinking of just playing the game for it instead, since it has a lot of cute designs and probably does the story better.

This show is just not good. It feels like a draft, with no clear direction of where it wants to go, who the target audience is, who the characters are. Why was this poorly-planned manga picked up for an adaptation?
- Situations feel contrived.
The MC goes to Tokyo to live as a kept woman fiancee of some yakuza's heir…just because. Let's say she was curious and wanted to switch to freeload for a while to experience that Tokyo life. The moment she realised that Kirishima was only pretending to be a 'nice guy' and is in fact some psychopath with a fetish for femdom, she should have run back home. Yet she wasn't even that bothered (despite supposedly being a spoilt princess who was never involved in anything brutal or shady…). She is risking her personal safety for what exactly? To play some stupid games orchestrated by adults?
- There are logic gaps everywhere.
So you want me to believe that the 'sheltered little princess' somehow managed to sell her kidney? When it was mentioned that she had always been watched and protected, hence her 'sheltered' status? You somehow want to believe me that there were shady doctors out there who didn't check who she was and tattled her all the way back to her crime family before she managed to do equally stupid shit? How many yakuza are losing their heads for this? Did the idiot MC even consider that there would be heads (of her own syndicate members) rolling for what she did? What exactly would happen if grandpa found out? Does she have self-harm tendencies? Nope. She isn't even mental or with cluster B, so why write her this way to progress the plot? Is this manga written by an AI?
- The MC does not act or dress like a teenage girl.
She dresses like a high-fashion adult woman, as if she wanted to appear more adult than she is on purpose. like a grooming victim She behaves like an adult too - she wasn't even upset when she found out what bullies had done to her shoes. There is absolutely no freaking way a teenager would have acted the way she did back then. Her bullshit decision to stick with Kirishima is some calculated crap only an experienced cougar who's been through a lot would have bet on. And yet she's supposed to be a sheltered, ignorant girl - clearly a dissonance between what we're being told and what is shown. The mangaka doesn't seem to give a fuck about this story and whether it makes sense or not. Why does this manga run in a seinen magazine again? To get moids to think that teenage girls are actually just like adult women, because they dress and act the part? Creepy.
- The MC is boring.
She is plain like an otome game self-insert. She is just nothing. What is her purpose in life? Is her life ambition to play stupid games with psycho moids she's not-dating and win stupid prices get raped in the process? Why isn't she more overwhelmed by the events from the past couple of days (being bullied at school, guy faking his persona and mercilessly beating people up, sneaking into her room, beating up more people) - which would have been traumatic to a supposed 'sheltered teenage girl'? She can act tough for 5 minutes, but it's quite clear that it's all an act, even without her internal monologues. She might as well have picked up that skill in the school drama club.
- Her love interest is much more fleshed out than the MC.
It would have been interesting to have a story about yakuza starring a guy who just loves the job, because he has psychopathic tendencies and beating people up or watching them get tortured gives him the thrill. Unfortunately for him, he can't reveal that side of himself to the wider public, hence the need for a double persona. Too bad that potential tale has been ruined by the need for self-insertion, and so the MC had to be shoved in somewhere.
- The way difficult situations are solved is the lamest shit.
So your not-fiance is a massive creep who sneaks into your room at night, yet you're super-calm about it? You don't even freak out, lash at him, start screaming or use that damn knife? All you do is give him a pep talk, as if he was a 6yo? You've seen what he's capable of - or maybe you have amnesia? It's not even 'so bad it's good', it's plainly just bad, like a fanfic written by a teen.

>>429262I believe I've read here from nonnies that some scrotes were very pissed about the Ooku anime when it came out (even though the manga had existed for nearly 2 decades). I've watched and read it and it's one of the best things I've seen in animanga, in my opinion.
Not only did it make moids seethe, but it's actually feminist and insanely engaging. Sadly, it only has 10 episodes, as is customary for adapatations of good josei manga. If you wanna keep reading the manga after watching the anime, you'll have to suffer through the old-timey English in the official localization.
As for what it is about, it's basically an alternate history version of the Edo/Tokugawa period where, due to a mysterious disease that only affects males, the majority of the male population was wiped out, and most jobs had to be done by women, including positions of power, so women had to fill the role of shogun as well (although they still get masculine names). While women benefit from this new order in some ways, it's not a feminist utopia, but a more realistic portrayal of what would happen in that scenario, written with amazing attention to detail.
>>429282NTA but to moids, that's "fujo garbage", not "feminazi garbage". We all know which anime moids hate because of its hot guys, but it's harder to find anime that gets shit for being even slightly feminist.
>>429287Legend of the Galactic Heroes. I can count the coomer fanservice scenes in one hand. Hell, I can only think of one (1) extremely mild shot in the whole 110 episodes (I'm not counting Gaiden because I haven't watched that one).

>>429317There are two anime adaptations of the novel it's based on. The most well-known is the 80s-90s OVA series and that's the one most of us have watched. The newer adaptation (Die Neue These) is on Crunchyroll, it's not bad by any means, but since it's a separate adaptation, there are some minor differences (DNT is closer to the novel, I think?), and some scenes that weren't in the OVA were included here. It's up to you, but of course I (and most people lol) would rather recommend the classic version.
If you decide to watch the old OVA series, you should start with the prequel movie
My Conquest is the Sea of Stars (pic related), since it came out before the main series. A movie remake of the first two episodes was made, it's called
Overture to a New War, it's pretty good and worth watching even if you've already watched those two episodes. After that, it's the 110-episode OVA, and then an additional 52-episode Gaiden series of side stories.
All of these are subbed. I strongly recommend the official Sentai Filmworks subs, or MTBB's version of them, over the ancient Central Anime fansubs, since the former are more accurate. Everything used to be available for streaming on HIDIVE but it seems that it's been gone from their catalogue for at least 4 months, apparenty without notice. Lots of people were pissed about it because they subscribed to that service just for LoGH, lol.
Also, to prevent really bad spoilers, don't watch the previews at the end of each episode, skip to the next ep. as soon as the ED is over.

Late to the party but I watched the Elusive Samurai last night. It was an enjoyable, easy watch and I’m glad there’s going to be a second season.
I did find the CGI in the dog hunting episode to be really distracting but I won’t fault them too much for it. There are obviously other scenes that were beautiful so it all balances out.

No. 431952
>>431683Kek, exactly. It's so weird how it always gets left out of every single conversation about long anime or manga, I always see every single other one mentioned
but Conan. It's like western weebs are vaguely aware it exists or know the title, but none of them know it's still airing or have ever watched it, outside of some weebs in Europe. I'm honestly not sure if it's a good or a bad thing, on one hand I prefer to not have them in the fandom to shit it up but on the other it's weird how little recognition it gets in the west compared to all the other long shounen. I guess it must be because of how episodic it is and how it doesn't really have as much action compared to something like One Piece or Naruto.
No. 432013
>>431973I think so, that was the english name due to copyright or something. They also changed a lot of the character names to be more western (Shinichi became Jimmy, Ran became Rachel, etc), which was offputting to a lot of people. I do believe it was hard to market because it looks like a kids's show but then it isn't.
>>431979I could see that from an outsider's perspective if they know nothing about it, but it's different from those 2 in the sense that it's actually got a plot going on in the background besides the episodic stuff and it isn't really a kid's show. The demographic is supposed to be more like any other shounen like One Piece despite the mc being a kid, since he's actually a teen stuck inside a kid body. There's people dying almost every single episode since it's a crime show, explicit blood and stuff like people's heads being decapitated, lots of romantic subplots between the characters, large adult cast outside of Conan and a few other characters, and some pretty dramatic developments when it actually does plot arcs rather than the episodic stuff every once in a while when the plot advances. It's kind of like how a shounen like Gintama is mostly episodic comedy but then also has a serious plot and dramatic arcs. While Doraemon and Shin-chan are more of a light hearted watch meant for kids without much of a plot or any of that going on.

Finished Attack on Titan recently and it sent me into a month long depression. I don’t know why but it was just so sad. I really liked Eren and there was no other way for it to end, but I wanted him to be happy or have a different life. I thought he was really pretty as an adult. I also started watching Inuyasha and I really like it. Lord Sesshomaru is my absolute fave and I’m in love with him. I was pretty much crying when Kagura died. She thought he came for Naraku, and then he says he knew it was her. I pretty much wanted to drop kick my TV. She deserved better too.

>>437660The “romance” is hyped by people who call the barest of minimums a green flag. It’s completely shallow and the mc’s have zero chemistry. Not even going to touch on how these same fans shit on the shojo genre and shojo related tropes but suddenly it’s a “breath of fresh air” when an uninspired moid uses them. Doesn’t help that none of the characters have any substance. They’re just embodiments of typical shonen tropes. Easy to digest for room temp IQ shonen fans.
As for the hype, it’s only gassed because it’s the first of the new gen of shonen and has no real competition yet. As soon as it’s done airing and its competitors come in to play, you won’t hear anything about it anymore. When you do, it will just be about how it “fell off” or its “mid”.

But yeah, I agree with you. I get that it's annoying that shounenshit "romance" is basic crap with ecchi to keep the moids entertained and that's why the male lead is always plain and awkward like the target audience, and the girl is always a pretty and special waifu. I hate it too, but those male leads aren't incels, they're just boring dorks that are easy for men to self-insert into. They're all different kinds of male losers.

i'm rewatching this precure season in preparation for the sequel, it's so comfy and cute. i love the clear harry potter inspiration, japan loves HP lol. also i got to go to the precure collab cafe and there was a little girl dressed up from the newest season going precure! precure! bouncing up and down in her seat… so cute… however the fact that there were multiple single males there deeply disgusted me. i feel so sorry for mothers in japan, you can't even take your little girl to a cafe aimed at pre-schoolers without adult men ruining it. also cute was that i saw a group of teenage girls dressed up with ita bags for the characters, they were probably kids when the season originally aired.

>>441792The near rape scenes paired with light coomer scenes with the female characters (various panty shots involving Momo) is why I can' take the Acrobatic Silky arc so seriously.
Everyone was going "man that was so sad [insert frowny face here]"—and while the tragic storyline of a single mother who moonlights as a prostitute isn't necessarily a bad idea—the fact that that plotline is in the same show where aliens attempt to rape a teenage girl (don't get me started on that co-ed hot spring scene). Of course, she isn't traumatized and is never spoken of again because I guess waifus with baggage are not kawiwi or whatever.
Like, what exactly is the author's intent? Going from a "looool, weird looking aliens want to steal this girl's organs" Momo's panty shots, to the Acrobatic Silky story to the ugly bastards in the hot springs.
Acrobatic Silky's arc was the cheapest form of drama and I can't stand people praising it.

>>442581>just slept with Takumi once and then let him go kek.Nana K is weak and she’s especially weak to Takumi, she never even properly broken up with him before getting with Nobu, not that they were ever together. Her whole character centers around prioritizing men over herself or better she selfishly chases after her idolized idea of “real love” even if she doesn’t like the guy in front of her (see how she forces herself to like people, from Shoji, to Yasu and to Nobu. She chooses the guy and then convinces herself that she likes them). The only guys she truly liked were the married man and Takumi, who are funnily enough, the people who treated her the worst. Therefore in front of these two she never stood any chance, from the moment Takumi opened the door in that episode and slept with her the next day she was already head over heels.
She also chose Takumi because he was an easy choice because in that moment Nana had abandoned her and she didn’t want Nobu because she felt idolized by him, whereas with Takumi she never felt that way, he never hid how he was and despite that he was ready to marry her and give her what she wanted, aka a classic family with a husband who seemingly loved her, even if it was a façade.

Disappointing. I like the contrast between the two OVA series. The first one is from the point of view of the guy, while the second one is from the POV of the girl - even when the story is linear and quite faithful to the manga. You just don't see such personal touch in modern manga adaptations, which are more often than not manga panels copy-pasted onto the screen. The concept of having your own personal zombie boytoy is also something that appeals to me.

I'm watching Dragon Ball with my boyfriend, the original series.It's not bad or anything but to be honest Akira Toriyama might have been kind of a pervert. I know he died, I respect him and his art and stuff but man, why is one of the first scenes Bulma pissing off of a cliff and her flashing an old man without her panties. My boyfriend says "it's not perverted it was just supposed to be funny, it was a different time" but I can't help but think Toriyama might've found this sort of thing titillating. Why is Chichi's costume a bikini, it's really weird. I guess at least he wasn't a lolicon but still. I was excited to watch it and now I'm a little disappointed, I feel bad for being disappointed because my boyfriend was so excited to show it to me. Is this show just old timey coom slop? Does it get better or will this keep having weird scenes. Like Everytime Bulma has to take a shower or something theres always a weird fan service scene.

>>448527It's a known thing that Toriyama was a pervert with female characters, he even made a comic about a female hero that becomes a prostitute because she gets raped and she likes it (gag). Bulma's name comes from the word bloomers, and as you said Chichi's first appearance has her as a kid in a bikini. That said it does get better as you go on because Toriyama got tard wrangled at some point by editors. The obsessed moids will seethe at this, but I always liked Z and GT better because there aren't as many perverted "funny" moments.
Also I haven't seen anyone saying this, but I rewatched some of the movies recently and I was kind of weirded out because there are two separate occasions where a kid pisses on the villain (not on purpose, they piss themselves) and now you mention the Bulma pissing thing and like… is there someone with a pissing fetish involved??

Also, most of the main character designs suck and are forgettable. Although, I guess I appreciate the cast not being full of rainbow haired shounen protags. The pacing could be better too.

Talk about a complete downgrade since Sakamoto used to be hot and it irks me that the wife stayed the same as a pretty young lady ever since they got together. Should've aged her up or make her chubbier. Better yet have her push for divorce if Sakamoto doesn't lose weight. Ugh, he looks like he could be her dad. Gross. Also this feels like a moid self-insert anime where fat scrotes imagine themselves being all cool and shit while having a beautiful wife and child (loli). Sorry I find this anime cringe especially seeing this lardass moving at the speed of light while still having combat skills. He could've easy burned all that fat and stayed fit.

>>451029That's always their way to deflect any
valid criticisms women have, all they have to do is say "nuh uh, a woman likes this/did this too" and that automatically means every single woman can't criticize that thing anymore because in their mind women are a monolith, so if one does something then you couldn't possibly have a problem with it, you're both women after all. If you do, you're totally just a hypocrite and should respect other women's retarded choices or whatever. At least that's how it seems to work in their retarded brain. It's also how they absolve themselves of the guilt of being a degenerate and pretend women are "just as bad" (if not worse), as if some pick me degenerate women existing even compares at all with the amount of degenerate males out there. I've seen so many delusional male weebs claim it's ackshually women who love rape and degenerate content more than men somehow and it always just comes across as massive copium and delusion on their part. The average female weeb isn't into things like Redo of Healer but they'll keep pretending like that's the case lol.

Because JJK has a lot of things that are irrelevant because it's a shonen manga. Sukuna could have been way edgier and more degenerate than he is, all he really does on screen that's truly shocking is
eat Hana's right arm and throwing her off a skyscrapper despite him being a sadist and a cannibal.

There actually are some GL shoujo manga that have gotten anime adaptations, like Maria-Sama ga Miteru or Oniisama E. At least those can be confidently called "yuri for women". They're not at all like lolishit such as Nanoha.

Alot of people seem to ship Rachel and Zack, judging by the annoyingly amount of fanart that exist. I dont get it because these two characters have no romantic chemistry whatsoever. Id argue they rather have a brother and sister kindof dynamic, atleast when you take the age difference into consideration with Zack being in his 20s and Rachel being a literal 13 year old girl. I also dont get why that whip lady (i dont rmeber her named) refered to Rachel as a woman all the time, when she is a girl. Also I didnt like how in the anime they tried to portray Zack as a victim because he had a traumatic childhood, an dthats why he started murdering people in cold blood as a child.

>>462331>>462334As if the way female characters are sexualized in anime is sooo elegant, classy, and appealing and not as equally if not even more retarded. I don't see an issue with doing it the same way as long as the designs and sequences aren't an eyesore. I'd argue this anime looks more dignified than the way female characters are sexualized but is still treated as a joke or a funny thing. If you laugh at a gross coomer female character design you'll be told you're jealous or you're a crazy feminazi or something.

>>463763Honey and Clover has a better story and characters, I wouldn't call it weird as fuck unless you're referring to the loli character, but even then I don't think it's that weird compared to other anime since there's no fanservice with her or anything like that, she's just supposed to be a short and childish adult woman who the other characters that are around her same age like. I would say the ending is the actual weird part with her but you didn't see it. 3 gatsu doesn't really have anything that could be perceived as weird or at least not that I can remember, it's been a long time since I watched it.

I guess Bulma has a pretty important role, Videl was cool for a while and I could appreciate GT because Pan had a fun dynamic with Goku and Trunks. I saw the last movie they made (Dragon Ball Super: Super Heroes?? Two supers kek) and the parts with Pan and Piccolo were unexpectedly wholesome, and honestly the fully 3D animation wasn't as bad as I thought (still soulless compared to the old ones but better than Super's).
>>466414Modern anime is a sensory overload but the drawings are also uglier and it's like a lot of animators are trying to one up each other by making everything move or animating every single little body movement but never stopping to realize that hyper-realistic or rotoscoped animation looks weird and uncanny with cartoons 90% of the time.

And yeah, I think that was the theme and character development Wakaki was going for by choosing Chihiro. Keima spends most of the series being detached from reality and denigrating 3DPD, so him ending up with the most normal girl ties it all together.Also just realized she shares the same name as LC's Elsie, kino.

Do you have any anime that you wish you could unsee so you could re-experience the excitement of putting on the next episode?
For me it's Mob Psycho 100, it made me feel excitement about an anime in a way I hadn't felt in years. I think it's because it's mainly self-contained episodes and the longer arcs aren't really that long either, so it all feels pretty light-hearted even when it gets serious. As someone that always prefer the early, shorter arcs in most shounen before they get too serious with their overarching stories, Mob Psyho hit just the right spot for me.

I’m very late to this one, I know, but I’m surprised how much I love the relationship between Fern and Frieren. I’m avoiding the fandom hardcore because I just KNOW scrotes fuck it all up with fetish art.

I watched no.6 on a whim (my first time watching it) and while I liked the first half of it, the ending got too fantastical and supernatural to an otherwise very grounded series. I liked the relationship between Shion and Nezumi, how different they are from one another, and I like how Shion's kindness has consequences in an oppressive society, he falls from grace so to speak. But I didn't like how they treated Dogloan as if she were disposable, I didn't like seeing her suffer. My favorite character was Shion's mom, she was very sweet and resilient. Overall this had very interesting one on one character moments and those are the strong points of the show, but again the ending feels too magical for the kind of gritty setting they were going for, at least in my opinion. It was nice to finally watch it though!
I know this series started as a novel and it kind of shows in the anime, not in a bad way just in a "I can tell this comes from a novel" way. I wonder how different the books are and if they skipped over anything important.

>>470733>i unironically prefer it to hxh even in its simplicityRight? YYH is just a super solid battle shounen, there's nothing in particular that makes it unique to other battle shounen as i'm watching it, just a super great execution (though it did influence bleach and jjk which is pretty huge on its own). I prefer it already from when I watched HXH which I wasn't the biggest fan of, probably an unpopular opinion
Dub, I've heard nothing but good things about it but that could just be Toonami nostalgiafags, either way the voice acting is phenomenal and soulful.

>>470915It's not the pinnacle of anime but it's funny as fuck and has a decent amount of male fanservice. It's constantly shit on by women for being "
problematic and fetishizing the poor gays" (though that stigma's gone away recently fortunately) and by moids because of the yaoi content. Why doesn't slop like Strike Witches that also has moeifies controversial history get nearly as much flack as Hetalia does for example?

>>471188 said, it's dull. It's just dull cute. The premise and the plot has a lot of potential, and I love the visual style it was presented with, but it ultimately falls flat and the supposed comical moments become more painful cringe (as if aggressively trying to balance the serious tone the series has progressed towards) the further you watch the series. While it has been directed by moids, looks like both the anime and the original web novel have been written by women. You may like it if you just like the cute and don't care if it's got lackluster execution.

No. 472697
>>472684Same. I also think the true subject of the story is child abuse and how it affects a person, because it's the one thing that ties all plot points together and the most common theme. We get to see different depictions of it but all of them lead to the same conclusion if not intervened soon enough. To me, it shows how maleable children's brains are and how can you make them either a productive or destructive part of society simply by treating them a specific way when they're kids and planting certain ideas and teachings in them that would stay with them forever. I know it's probably not that groundbreaking of an idea but it gave me catharsis when reading/watching the story as a child abuse
victim myself. I saw parts of me in most characters and they all resonated with me. It's one of the few works that I let it slide when people call it deep and philosophical, even though I find calling manga and anime that very pretentious and obnoxious.
