Whacha readn/watchn thread Anonymous 21-08-23 18:53:37 No.20963[Reply]

Since the board is slow, (and my adhd stuggle to post on near-dead boards), let's do a general discussion thread of what you've been reading/watching.
Similar to the /tv/ thread on hobby.

I'll start:
Manga: Kingdom
It's alot of fun, currently on chapter 430.
Despite the restriction of it being in the past, there's alot of strategy/complication that makes it interesting to read.

And the manga is fun in the fact that it has shoenin level power clashing and hyping of characters – but still respects reality.
Like a character being healed after a fight is explained by months or even years of a time skip, or when situations where "talk-no-jutsu" would've occurred in shoenin, instead the person ranting is just meant to understand the world more before they die.

I am reading some others as well, like: Vinland Saga, One Piece, Watamote, and a few others – just been alittle addicted to Kingdom.
(I should catch up with One Piece though.. I'm 110 chapters behind with it).
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

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.

Just got caught up on Chainsaw Man, botht the manga and anime. Tbh I havent laughed so hard at an anime since shin-chan or ghost stories. I cant wait for the Reze Arc movie to come out. Kinda dissapointed that we never got to see Denji and Power scrapping copper wiring for food money or someshit.

Comedy Anime Anonymous 24-09-25 23:25:28 No.29221[Reply]

Comedy anime is a underappreciated genre. My personal favorite one being Gintama as at first glance its just a silly comedy anime but as you get deeper into it you realize how much heart it has. It has some of the best comedy and series arcs in all of anime. Gintama's run a little over 700 chapters but it never got tired or overdone and each new arc felt refreshing.

My second one is Konosuba as its funny isekai that features an incompetent main cast of complete degenerates that somehow is able to succeed through shear dumb luck.

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.

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

I really want to like it but the author is just fucking horrible Anonymous 15-09-22 05:52:58 No.16956[Reply]

The setup of the world is original, the lore is interesting as fuck, the uncensored brutality showcases an interesting take on violence that feels genuine to what something like this in real life could occur and the plot is overall entertaining

But fuck the amount of other garbage in this pretty much “makes a perfectly baked caked bathed in the shittiest frosting you could’ve gotten”. Child nudity that only exists to satisfy the authors god awful fetishes, crying and death when it isn’t needed or doesn’t do anything to contribute to any form of character development, major figures like bondrewd, wazukyan and his crew or just reg and his origin in general either gets sidelined completely or just flat out abondoned after less than a single episode and it fucking sucks and makes trying to be entertained or even gain any cool ideas like how ethics are considered when the promise of discovery is near or how people respond and develop tools to new threats or just how nature itself adapts to the geography that surrounds it doesn’t truly feel like it got the attention it deserved in a series that felt like it was made for it

Why do people constantly call the saga of Tanya Mangaka a communist? just stumbled upon the guy's feed and it's full of boomer takes, SDF shilling(this is the complete antithesis of the JCP), and anti-communist retweets.

On top of that, Riyoko Ikeda(The Rose of Versailles) who was a member of the Japanese communist party in her youth is now doing interviews with LDP and butt buddies with a senior member. The Riyoko one is far more shocking than the nazi anime girl

Wonder Woman vs Goku thread Anonymous 26-07-25 10:27:11 No.28844[Reply]

Yeah that’s right, I think this matchup is actually one of the closest fiction has to offer and is far more plausible than the decades long Goku vs superman debates. Superman is a lazily written brawler whose strongest forms (one million and cosmic armour) aren’t even canon to the main plot. Superman has also lost a lot of times in canon to Diana in open combat just off the fact that Diana is far more skilled and experienced in close quarters combat than superman could ever dream to be. This ultimately makes the debate between who would win in this matchup a lot more interesting. A literal demigod trained by gods possessing untold levels of martial prowess and power vs an alien whose trained in martial arts his whole life developing some of the strongest powerups and fighting techniques known to fiction who has also been trained by dieties.

Goku is better at fighting since he's implied to be a literal savant at martial arts and Diana isn't. If the setting was a normal-ass non-lethal tournament with rules and stuff, Goku would win.

The Welcome to the NHK novel is the best version of all Welcome to the NHK output.

A girl that is into cosplay meets a guy has experience sewing clothes, styling wigs and emulating make-up because he's training to become the heir to the family workshop that makes traditional dolls. This last detail is important because one of the premises of the show is that he isn't less of a man because he's into unconventional fashion design, just like the girl isn't bad just because she works with her body (or for being a sex worker, if you consider グラビア, a genre of japanese softcore porn, a form of sex work, as some people do). The fact that it is traditional dolls is also important because it undermines that idealized image of the past where "men were real men", which is only a projection of our current social expectations.

Bear in mind that many people resent both the manga/anime and the female author because it doesn't address reality nor the cliche fantasies that are commonly reproduced (sometimes "critically") in western media: her ideal boyfriend isn't really confident or assertive, and he's definitely not intimidating nor demeaning. If you pay attention to the critics, their point of contention is that her work is too self-indulging, both for men and women, and that it's unrealistic to actually like and eroticize non-toxic masculinity and non-toxic relationships.
