I'm a medieval peasant, is Neurosama like a speech -> text -> speech thing or is it an actual llm?

>>28970
It was kino, especially Day 2

What's your opinion on this autistic baddie? (ruruneneru)

>>29014
I think an llm programmed by a guy named Vedal

I'm slowly losing attachment to hololive with so much of Myth/Promise gone, even though the ones who left weren't my favorites. I'm not saying that Advent and Justice are bad, just that I've spent 5 years mostly watching the former 2 .

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.

This image goes hard

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.

>>29263
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.

You guys seem to forget that Kishimoto was writing weekly while drawing the final version of the storyboards. He was winging it because it was his job to write weekly for as long as possible. Any proper narrative analysis of Naruto is already giving more thought to the story than the author ever did.

>>29270
He could’ve just made the filler content dedicated to characters and places he never fleshed out like rock Lee’s team, the land of iron, the six jinchuriki that got off screened by the akatsuki, flashbacks surrounding the origins of the tailed beasts, Sakura, the hidden cloud village, I could keep going. There’s a lot of things kishimoto could’ve done differently instead of writing the most convoluted magic system I’ve ever seen in shonen history.

>>29270
one day I will re-write Naruto, the entirety of it. These cool characters and abilities deserved so much more than what Kishitardo gave them.

>>29271
i dont think kishimoto writes the filler arcs
that'a anime only

>>29278
Eh could be. Still wish someone was with him to make sure that the filler (which is like fucking half of part 2 while the non filler shit are flashbacks) had the same importance as the filler of one piece
