waow deep

It's an interesting idea. I thought it was funny that people thought the one hero was so upright that he couldn't even sit down to shit.

>>28098
Ah you mean the one hero that had to Stand Tall and the consequence of it was as you said couldn't sit down to shit, nor could he even sleep in his own bed correctly.

nevermind the show has gone to shit after the first few episodes

damn no ones done this before

May I offer you some Bride's Story in this trying time?

>>28257
Thanks man I'm going to check this manga out

>>28257
nice decor but the eyes are too big Yugoanon

>>28150
Uygha you did not just compare artwork for a gacha game with Berserk. What the fuck is wrong with modern anime fans.

>>28222
>>28225
Sounds cool.
Is it first person or third person pov?
Also what's the prose like?

>>28227
Its first person, the prose is alright. Not a whole lot of it but its decent.

I'm reading Ajin: Demi Human.
It's quite good. It's about people who can't die, their dehumanisation by the state and human medical experimentation by the state and capitalist institutions.

Just got current on Telomere. It's a zombie manga, but while it's set 10 years after the zompoc, the zombies themselves are mostly a background element. It follows a brother and sister pair that the zombies show no interest in, and in fact they can kinda sorta interact with.

Only 15 chapters out by this point, but I'm enjoying it. There's some mysterious elements set up, a couple of which the latest chapter elaborates on but doesn't resolve. The art is really good, and I'm liking the main characters. Subverts expectations in a good way imo.

Astro Baby is good if you liked Parasyte

They do held poses specifically to help them allocate more budget to the parts that need it. If they always walk towards each other at minimum, then it cuts down on how much budget the actual fighting part will get.

>>28223
That’s more of an artistic decision that’s unique to jojo that makes sense given the way the show portrays itself. You couldn’t do that with other shows unless you’re Pokémon, power rangers, or digimon. With basic walk and run cycles, you could get away with reusing key frames for different characters and just use the excuse of “the characters got hit so hard that they’re too far away from their opponent to land a hit” to justify all that movement.

It is a time and budget thing. Anime tends to make all kinds of shortcuts to reduce animation while not making it too obvious and focusing the good stuff for special moments.

>>28241
I’d say it’s more time than budget given that most of the money goes into special effect and overly detailed scenes like for eyes and fx. A basic walk cycle is reusable for different characters and doesn’t involve a lot of work.

>>28221
Maybe they need a different walk cycle for every single perspective. Its why when they start to use up the budget for a fight scene you get to see cool perspectives with distortion. It's very pronounced in naruto.

I never liked superheros and as I get older I like them even less

OP searchs for the dark-skinned_male tag in secret

You are a weeb fishing for a reaction

So what? I don't bitch and moan seeing stuff from shows I dont care for instead of making a scene like a spoilt brat.

>>27822
Really? I thought things were worse back then. Not saying that it's peachy now but still

>>27827
Most Britishness in humor is mainly in the accents and excessive verbosity.

>>27921
crap.
Was alright before timeskip
Everything shit since then
Luffy being some mythical Sun God is the worst. Oda is repeating Kishimoto's mistakes

>>28190
meh, sun god uygha is more or less fiction in the world anyway, it's been show many times in one piece people calling things gods or godly beings yet it was all human myth and legend, the history in the mural of the three worlds on elbaf shows that.

Post-merge bump

one piece is boring sloppy garbage
One piece fans are all retards

Kamina is Lenin so he had to die. Simon is Stalin.

Ashita no Joe

Again Nakashima strikes me as a normie lib who just rolls with whatever people around him say >>25271 and Gurren Lagann's message is very centrist if you have actual legitimate "media literacy"

>>28023
was gonna say the spirals make it kinda obvious

>>27980
They're not fundamentally "bad guys" is the thing and the show hammers you with this point. Progress is inevitable but if you do it mindlessly the world literally implodes on itself. There's a reason Lord Genome of all people was a valuable ally in the final battle, there's a reason Yoshinari's Parallel Works short makes it clear that he used to be the same as the heroes in his youth. Even with the Anti-Spiral it's clear the show was saying he had a point but took it too far. The Anti-Spiral was like Simon's last mentor more or less. One of the major points of the show is that individuality isn't something you're born with but something gained from mixing together outside influences in your own way (like hijacking robots then fusing them into your own personal mech)

I found it pretty funny and makes some good points but also sometimes seems to go in a direction I dont know if it is exaggerating since I didnt grow up Black in a White suburb like McGruder but I can't help but wonder if many Black people think he took on the wrong kind of views of some Black culture stuff, though i know he's dead on with many. McGrider wrote Huey as reflecting his own views where he admired Malcom X and Huey Newton, but he is still meant to have some naivety to him. I don't know if it could be called leftist per se, it has some leftist tendencies criticizing capitalism.

>homogenous opinion on (pop culture media)? is it leftoid enough?
bleak shit

famous anime za bundokusu

You seem to be new to interacting with other human beings so let me lend a hand!
>Leftypol consensus on the boondocks?
This is OP indirectly asking for summaries of potential previous discussions on the comic and the show; this is a useful way to start a conversation about art and entertainment without regurgitating subjects. It establishes a baseline opinion then allow for people to raise and discuss disagreements, follow up on certain points, etcetera. It may seem like OP is demanding homogeneity, but he isn't – this is one of the tricky things about the ways neurotypicals talk to each other!
>and is it considered leftist?
This is, again, an indirect way to raise a point for interesting discussion, namely what people of this largely left-leaning website think of the politics present in the Boondocks, a heavily political story in both its incarnations.
Also, this is the /anime/ section of the imageboard website leftypol.org; that the discussions revolve around pop culture is inevitable. If this is not what you want, perhaps you'll want to try out the site's many other bountiful boards!
I understand that for people who suffer from autism the way neurotypical people talk can be confusing – we often use phrases in non-literal ways, lean heavily on subtext, and so on. But don't worry, I'm here to help you and hopefully make this board as welcoming as it can be!
