Been reading Ajin: Demi-Humans. Enjoying it so far, it has some pure kino wrt to cop killing.
How'd others find it?
Can anyone recommend any good anime or manga that has dead cops kino?

Mangadex confirms nuking of 7000+ titles, handed over control to NamiComi, basically dead as of this. The wonders of IP law.

Most of the scrapers compress images and many even add watermarks. Mangadex doesn't and is also the main hub.

>>28180
they deserve to be expropriated or to be made irrelevant then, IP laws to anything other than fair payment and recognition for the creation is rubish.

>>28201
Good for the future but I'm pretty sure the 7k titles in question are already gone

They also added point 3 and some scanlators seem to have left because of it.

This guy was the ruler of the entire fucking universe, he genocided literal millions of worlds and subjugated likely billions more, killed several of goku’s friends and tormented every single fucker he crossed paths with just for the sake of it.

The only reason why dragon ball isn’t invincible tier levels of fucked up at this threshold is the lack of blood, injuries, and gore in the game. Otherwise, this series—especially this maniac—is far more over the top.

Also, images like this makes me so fucking angry with Goku like you wouldn’t believe just off the fact that that’s his dad and he knows what happened and he doesn’t change. This guy barely takes any fight fucking seriously even as late as his encounter with super saiyan broly. He never goes all out at the start and doesn’t have the killer instinct and will of vegeta, he’s so unimaginably sensitive to pain and minor discomfort and you can tell by how frequently he finds himself standing from blows I’ve seen exponentially weaker anime characters in the dragon ball universe and other anime universes casually shrug off. I’m so glad that the guy can be bothered to learn to use his teeth, but fuck man, at least a guy like guts from berserk or Damien Wayne from DC comics learned to go all out and beat the ever loving shit out of villains ruthlessly.
Goku is still mentally a kid fighting his enemies even in his forties.

>Anyways, going back to the second half of your post, my grip with the series is how emotionally weak a lot of the characters are at the start compared to how physically strong they are.

Super strength doesn't mean invincibility.

>Characters somehow keep falling for the same sudden increases in their opponent’s power; no one learns to fucking help their friends from being tortured by dudes like nappa, buu, and freiza in the face of overwhelming power which makes characters feel mentally weak and stagnant;


Like Sakura Haruno from Naruto?

> also I still think the decision to make characters try to take on villains like cell, freiza, and the androids solo even after it’s proven routinely since as early as the freiza saga on namek that that shit never works is genuinely infuriating.

Idk any of the characters specifically.

Physical strength != mental strength. No one in the series has a lot of courage and resilience to pain necessary to deal with villains like cell. Like cmon. Count how many times in that saga you see a saiyan collapse from a knee strike while cell is casually regrowing entire limbs back from energy blasts casually without breaking a sweat, or freiza somehow flying despite being cut in half and only being provided enough ki from Goku just to stay breathing. The protagonists (except tien, Yamaha, not krillin, and piccolo) are exceptionally weak.
>sakura
Sakura was not useless. She stayed out of most fights in the second half of the series and did a lot of recovery work to help injured fighters return and surpass their strength. Plus, she did slot on her end to help in fights directly anyways and is crazy strong herself.
>idk the characters specifically
Watch dbz kai. The pacing of that edited show is much better, you can find the episodes for free on archive.org, and there’s no filler

This.
A lot of people hate on Sakura for being "useless" just because she doesnt have super powered ffense attacks like Sasuke and Naruto.
But I think it's mainly because she simps for Sasuke even though in the pre-Shippuden series, around the second half, Sasuke was getting his ass handed to him.
And yet she patronizes Naruto, a lot of it justified though.

You're forgetting that in most superhero franchises, whether western or Oriental, the most powerful characters often have emotional weaknesses that can be exploited, the most obvious being their loved ones ' well-being.

Is this donghua based? It relates to the exploitative nature of the entertainment industry and how our value in society depends on arbitrary notions of conformity and popularity

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

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).

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.

>>20963
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

I swear, only attack on titan ever fixed that issue with anime characters standing still and talking in the middle of a fight destroying any pacing the scene had just by having characters walk towards each other in anticipation for the next engagements. It’s so simple, it’s not expensive either. Just a fucking walk cycle is enough to keep the action from awkwardly falling.

File: 1747869491175.png (822.51 KB, 587x529, ClipboardImage.png)

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.

List people like picrel who are nothing short of absolute, total, complete and utter filth. I'm talking living surrounded by trash, shit, rotting bodies, disease, rats and other scavengers, swamp uyghas, Nurgle worshiping goblin mode extremists. uyghas who will wipe they ass right before shaking your hand.

Can't be anyone nastier than human playdoh sewer toes, right?

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.

What do you think the most communist anime is Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann I would like to know your guises comments on the below

>>27896
Kamina is Lenin so he had to die. Simon is Stalin.

Ashita no Joe
Iykyk

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)
