Wasn't Ikura suppose to "get shinji!" to be a transgender? Because there is offical fanart where Ikura becomes transtender.

Also why does the angles look like Deathnote characters? they're like gothic sort of characters, it's like the poeple killed in Deathnore became angles, where they male?

If Tokyo's boomers' complaints are as petty as getting annoyed at based Kansai people then I'm not even surprised. One nuke was enough but Hiroshima was the wrong target.

Could Sovietist Japan prevent this?

It feels like the nipponese animation industry will never get back to 2005-2010 level quality. Looking through seasons from back then, it seems as though most anime were held to a much higher standard of creative quality compared to the past 2 years at least. There were 20-30 anime released per season, instead of literally fucking 50. And the worst of otaku slop was relegated to a few shows per season, instead of having like 40% of shows be the most boring romcom you can imagine or some variant of narou-style litrpg fantasy. The kind of decent premise and execution we see in the best anime today was normal for the time. And I'm not sure if this is a recent trend, but original anime and adaptations tend to do terribly in terms of audience reception, the otaku slop actually works in capturing fots audiences.
The worst part is, all of this is happening against the backdrop of the extreme exploitation faced by japanese animators. They're being made to release 50 anime per season, and most of it won't become something that will be remembered past the end of its run time.

The anime industry in general has had a profitability crisis for a while now, so yeah quality is probably going to keep trending downwards.



 

ITT We discuss about our favorite Vtubers, corpo and indie alike. Liveposting, (Spoilered) Porn and Rateposting are all encouraged.

I'll start with my own recommendation:

Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.

Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.

However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

two days after i tried getting back into this a vtuber corp received mass backlash for issuing an apology after one of the people they manage called the civil rights movement "stupid political garbage" like ok lol im hanging it up again i think. its actually insane how much the vtuber audience has devolved since i stopped watching a few years ago, shit like this definitely existed back then but it was mostly avoidable and compartmentalized, now its just the norm lmao

>>29797
it's still avoidable if you stay away from anything related to phase connect

That's exactly the kind of audience they've been cultivating tho, it's dialectics

We need more stories where the villain is never redeemed (at least, not explicitly), but does not die either. Instead the hero makes peace with them, accepts them for the vile assholes they are, and begrudgingly respects them for it once the hero had grown powerful enough to stand up to them and prevent them from hurting innocents (or at least hurting innocents on scale).

The 3rd and 4rd POTC movies had nailed it with their depiction of the relatonship between Jack and Barbossa before the fifth movie had to ruin everything.

The idea that every antagonist should end up either "redeemed" (read - unilaterally and uncritically submit to your notions of morality), either dead is very reactionary actually once you think about it.

OP your example both has the villain die in the first movie and get resurrected on the condition that he cooperate lol. Like there's a scene where he gets explicitly threatened with his resurrection being revoked if he gets any ideas. He's functionally a slave.

>We need more stories where the villain is never redeemed (at least, not explicitly), but does not die either
One piece between the start of the series to the dressrosa arc is already like this, there’s like dozens of capeshit comics with characters like doom or lex luthor where this is a thing, transformers has a ton of this stuff with megatron and star scream, I’m not expanding this list. No, it’s objectively shitty writing to leave a lot of obviously harmful villains alive or present in the story for redemption usually because it insults the agency of the villain to live in a defeated state instead of being allowed to die off with a shred of dignity against the protagonists and because redemption arcs usually can look more like moral policing on behalf of the authors than organic growths on behalf of the characters themselves.

Nagatoro was only good when she was actually abusive like in the web comics. The manga and anime are just generic romcom harem trash.

>>29888
I can give you Tonari no Idol-san if you want to read abuse
or "Ueno-kun Has Been Developed",but that's sexual bullying turn into relationship drama
the others I can think of all have a twist or are pure nonsense/yandere comedy.

Well, I know this isn't similar to anime music, but anyone knows the source of this jap ad canon choir music, somewhere between 0:25 until 0:41, when god descended upon them to grant them any wish? I've tried everything and still couldn't found it. Thanks, btw.

Midori / Mr. Arashi's Amazing Freak Show [Shoujo Tsubaki: Chika Gentou Gekiga] (1992) Directed, story boarded, fully animated, and screenplayed by Hiroshi Harada.

For what conceivable causation (the act or process of causing something to happen or exist) might you abstain (restrain oneself from enjoying something) from perusing (read something, typically in a thorough or careful way) the paramount (superior to all others) and furthermore perpetually (in a way that never ends or changes) progressing serialized (publish or broadcast in regular installments) Japanese comic book presently (at the current time)?

Is it the best Shonen?
I like to think so. What are your opinions about HxH and Shone in General
94 posts and 26 image replies omitted.

Post-Ryodan Arc 2011 = 1999 TV anime + Ryodan OVA >>> 2011 up to Greed Island.

This is the correct opinion.

>>15745
I'll admit the series has good music at least. File ver

I honestly think the way the fandom talks about HxH gives people unreasonable expectations which leads to undeserved backlash. It's not super deep or grimdark (even "deconstruction" is a stretch), it's just a weird creative story that plays by its own rules. Also both anime versions completely screw up the pacing (as is wont for shonen adaptations) and make it harder to get into, in contrast to the manga where the first few arcs are actually very breezy and fun (that said I agree with >>25530 esp in regards to the art).
Anyway it's fucking back motherfuckers.

>>25912
I love Hunter X Hunter (mainly up to the Chimera Ant arc), but the manga/anime industry is so stale, partially due to the absurd working conditions and burnout, that anything that expresses even a tiny bit of genuine creativity/depth gets elevated and praised far more than it honestly deserves. It's the same feel I get from something like Punpun, although unlike HxH I think Punpun is an irredeemable steaming pile of shit.

It’s just a butchered and japanwashed Journey to the West, it has the exact same powercreep as Chinese fiction

Holy shit it’s like the show was based of a legend of a monkey with a staff. Almost like the name “son Goku” of an alien creature wielding a staff that changes shape based on his will and also transforms into a giant primate may have been influenced by something that actually exists in human mythology
