>the current drama in the fantasy scene right now is that fantasy is extremely popular in leftist spaces and the fascist are feeling like they arent welcome anymore
culture is so diffused now that I don't know why the whole 2000s "nerd culture demographics aren't like how I remember" thing is still a thing. Weeb spaces in particular are very seperated

I just read an article about kurd owned restaurants getting harassed in JP and the comments were all seething about them

NO you're wrong, the author wanted to teach us a valueable lesson don't you see? Its that the easiest and greatest way to dispose of a body after murder is through cannibalism. Minus the hair and bones but those are easy to get rid of. And its easy to be a cannibal when human meat tastes like pork or chicken. Oh and that veganism is a bunch of no good christian moralizing nonsense and that the ends justify the means.

Racist white chuds view themselves as oppressed indigenous people under colonialism and immigrants as colonial-settlers
But if you bring up actual examples of that in history you'll be called anti-white
Anyways I can't wait for all first world and western aligned countries to crumble, because they can rarely write genuine stories about rebels fighting against imperial powers.

I guess I should watch Hathaway's flash 1.

heh

Jesus.

It's unlikely, but if Fujimoto is actually setting up the America devil to be the strongest child of the War Devil that would genuinely be kino.

Psychotic skinny dude. Anyone who has spent time in prison knows that the unassuming lifer with dead fish eyes is the most dangerous guy there.

I my thank you for telling me this.

Many of Battle Beast's songs are about Berserk, too. (Or maybe just in the early albums, before the split? I have not kept up with them.)

Kirkman also wrote Marvel Team-Up 20 years ago which I thought was fun.

This goofy green bean looking fucker gotta have the goofiest backstory I’ve ever read. So apparently there were two kaijus roaming on his planet, literally eating people alive, tearing shit up and stuff. So what does he do? Nothing. He’s literally the prince of his home planet too which makes this shit funnier. No, he does do something.
He goons.
He spends the entire moment having his girl literally bounce on his dick for months while the same two alien kaiju looking ass things spend the entire time blowing shit up and ripping apart his citizens. Eventually they find his goon cave, literally grab him and eat him alive while talking mad shit about how much of a pussy he is and how tasty his parents were. Then while he’s in one of those kaiju’s stomach right, he gets a fucking bloodline powerup out of fucking no where and survives in the beast’s belly for idk how long until battlebeast frees him. Peak kirkman writing btw

Never mind, kirkman one upped his game

no,because we are in the berzerk boat situation 2.0 electric boogaloo,where he writes a thriller in enclosed space before resuming the actual worldbuilding,and there is 2 chapters every 2 years,it's over

It is hands down the best shonen ever. Forget world building, magic system etc, the magic of HxH is that
(i) it does not drag on unnecessarily.
(ii) things are hyped up and then actually deliver (unlike One Piece which abuses vibe/aura-farming for minimal pay-off)
(iii) minimum retcon/asspull. There is only like 2 things in the whole series which you could consider asspull, and even then, very debatable.
(iv) Togashi KNOWS what he is doing. Nothing too much, nothing too little. Whatever the flaws of Togashi, he knows how to write a story.

Yorknew and Chimera Ant are the among the greatest arcs in all fiction. Hunter Exam arc is great, it is like Chunin exam but (slightly) better. The Arena Tournament arc is great as well. Greed Island is a good training arc but I feel like it should have been a bit shorter (it has the misfortune of being sandwiched between the great Yorknew and CHimera arcs). The post-Chimera arc (election arc) is my least favourite. It's not bad, but not great either (but it's short so nothing painful). Can't really comment on the Dark Continent/Succession arc since it is manga only, which because of the slow pace, when a new chapter drops, I forgot what happened in the prior chapters like years ago.

One Piece's world is very wide, but very shallow. I prefer HxH, where it is narrower, more focused, but goes much deeper.

>>29273
Nah, kaido and rocks both lived up to the hype. Oda knows how to introduce his villains and how to scale them

HxH is the most mis-recommended series of all time. I finally have a chance to steer someone right before they get disappointed by it because of the fans. I am so serious. OP please ignore everything that reeks of overhyping and heed my words.

>Read the manga first. Do not begin with either anime adaptation.
This is non-negotiable.
>HxH is the definition of "unpolished/messy but very inspired" within shonen.
The feeling you get reading it chapter to chapter is that Togashi is often doing whatever he wants, following his whims, throwing interesting ideas out there and following whatever fascinates him at the time. Which is why every act feels like it's completely veered away from the previous one. That format isn't for everyone, and it makes for a manga that's quite messy. This applies to everything, including the world-building. It is full of super intriguing cool lore concepts but it's all strung together with barbed wire and has no shortage of things that make you go "wait a minute, that makes no sense". The world map is literally a rearranged map of the Earth. It's that kind of series.
This isn't to say that it's completely unstructured. There is a plan, there is development and steady build-up, etc. Some stuff is very detailed and consistent (like Nen), some stuff is… just straight-up not. But it's full of anticlimaxes, unexpected directions, things that just sort of get dropped. The main character has not appeared in ten years despite being in the middle of some important development. Again, it's that kind of series.
So if you take "good worldbuilding" in the sense of a setting that's elaborate, thoroughly and clearly planned-out, logically consistent, etc. HxH will probably not satisfy you.
>It's barely a "deconstruction" the way people say it is.
One thing that's extremely clear reading it is Togashi's love for other things, especially Dragon Ball. The appeal of HxH is that it's a creative, freeform, smart take on a genre that has grown very rigid and unreflective over the years, without ever wanting to escape the boundaries of that genre. Look beyond the "dark" stuff and it's clear that it's emulating the spontaneous energy and whimsy of Toriyama but in a more serious, *slightly* more thoughtful form. While the story can get dark and melancholic, it's really not overwhelmingly so, and when it does it never really feePost too long. Click here to view the full text.

I liked seitokai yakuindomo,the manga goes nowhere and is a boring slog that only does japanese stand up comedy for the entire lqtter half(AKA the mere mention of something being incorrect mentioned by someone else is somehow humor)
D-frag is also obsessed with tsukomis,but I dare you to try to predict anything that happens,that shit is a rollercoaster of nonsense.

Not sure if they count but the Crayon Shin-Chan dub is absolutely hilarious. I stg it gets funnier everytime I watch it

I want to like Gintama but it's loaded with topical references which you wont understand

azumanga daioh and nichijou
maybe excel saga if you are of a certain age and grew up consuming 90s seinen anime
asobi asobase if you're not

if and only if you are n3 or above:
joshiraku
kakushigoto
sayonara zetsubou sensei
poputepipikku

there has been a lot of action-comedies and romantic-comedies in the last ~15 years with the industry tirelessly trying to replicate konosuba. the problem with that type of media is that sooner or later it drops the comedy to focus on the action or romantic part because that's easier to streamline than comedy.

"pure" comedy anime and manga either die after a couple years when the author runs out of juice or become something like dril tweets but in japanese

ok i just got this idea for a dark comadey ware the MC and comrades sert in middle school and ends after they sert college
