Anime/Manga - Discuss Japanese cartoons and comics here; NO CULTURE WAR DOOMPOSTING!

Anyone read Baki?
I’ve tried to watch both the anime and read the manga of it earlier this year, and I never finished it. Its both good, and the spin-offs are a lot more edgier than the original.

Sometimes, its hard to believe that Keisuke Itagaki’s daughter was the same one that made Beastars. It really must run in the family.
 
Modern anime fans are fucking retarded and wimpy.

Finished with the last episode of Made in Abyss, I thought it would have some massive battle or twist, but it was overall lowkey and hit all the emotional points, hope the next season will not take several years.
Also caught the second part of Bastard! It's good (with fantastic fanservice) but I doubt I'd have kept out with the endless final battle if it wasn't released wholesale.

About Edgerunners, it's good and I think it's rewatch worthy with the amount of shit happening on screen. It's very good in world building and some tense action screens, with some extremely lovable characters, but it really lacks depth. Netflix seems to be on a roll with adaptions lately and I hope they keep their hands off approach.

Edit: Holy shit next season is insane. Though nothing original seems to be good except maybe the new gundam.

I got curious as to who was the English voice-actor of Pina in Beastars because I was thinking it was Chris Patton, but wanted to make sure.

It's a "Kayleigh" McKee. :story:

You'll never be a woman, sweetie. Your voice was undoubtably that of an effeminate man, and it's an actual good voice that I really wouldn't mind hearing in dubs since at least I'd never have to see your face. It'll fucking suck for you to wreck it from HRT and shit, legit.
 
Could just be a typo.
Definitely not, it was an "official" (including in-universe) transliteration, used for a long time in movies, books, on merch, etc, that eventually got changed for the international market. What bugs me is I can't find anything about how it might have been established, whereas with Matsumoto you'd usually get several conflicting accounts.

Well yeah it's easy to find faggots if you want to subject yourself to reading MAL reviews, but you couldn't find a non-ESL one? I give those guys a pass. English is annoying; you could hypothetically say all that without sounding like a pussy if you can be circuitous enough.

Who gives a shit if English isn't their first language? I showcased the review because the person hates stories where characters die, says they can't recommend the anime as a result yet gives it an 8/10 anyway. That's some really wimpy, shallow reason to dislike a story, and there's no fucking way someone can be an anime fan (or a fan of media in general) and expect to find a series where no one dies in it. People like that deserve to be ridiculed.

You must be new to MAL because I'd say that review is about average as far as the reviews there go. If you wanna read some supremely retarded shit then go to the reviews for Shield Hero and read the one by this one Panda guy. It's literally just paragraphs bitching about incels and misogyny instead of reviewing the actual show. Like, I legit don't like Shield Hero after the first like 6 episodes and didn't bother watching season 2 but if I remember correctly, the shit this dude said about it lead me to believe he didn't even watch it and just heard about the initial controversy. I feel like if we scoured through MAL reviews then we could end up finding a lot of lolcows but I honestly don't believe that's even worth it.

On another note, I just started reading Hell's Paradise. I'm 8 chapters in and feel like almost nothing has happened thus far, it's not bad but I just feel like the battle royale this manga set itself up to be is taking forever to come to fruition. I feel like this should be a fast-paced page-turner by now but it isn't, can anybody give me a general ballpark on when the story begins to really pick up? Just wanted to read this before Yuji Kaku's other work Ayashimon but if it remains this slow then I'll probably just drop it.

Has anyone here seen Hamefura? It's become an instant marathon for me (Just watch episode 1, see if you watch the rest). It's an otome villianess isekai, where the girl realizes she needs to prevent her doom end as the villianess and ends up accidentally triggering all the romance flags. It's been very heartwarming and fun.

Apparently this is a big genre, but it's the first one I've seen so it's new to me.

I love it, tho it can get a bit filler-ish at times. Tho I like Bakarina enough to not to find it bad.
 
For Isekai anime, Mobuseka is really weird. The anime is bad, but for some reason I couldn't wait to find out what happens next episode, so I read the Manga, then read the LN. The anime's bad, but I cannot really say it's bad because it got me to read the manga/LN. So I guess the anime is just a great advertisement for the manga/LN. Watch an episode or 2 then read the manga, it's great. Seriously one of the few anime that got me to read a manga.

(I haven't been able to post here in awhile so I hope I don't sound like an ad bot)

So in conclusion, I am into otome villian isekai. Don't know how it pans out. Akuyaku OP is amazing but didn't care to watch otherwise.

I've been there for ten years, nice try. I know the userbase sucks eggs and I saw over time even before One Punch Man aired how the site gutted the review section to bits, but the attitudes of the newer, younger fans of anime frustrate me sometimes (an inevitable problem when you want to talk to anime fans online). Is it like a Zoomer thing or something to have such shallow attitudes toward media that have characters die in the plot?

Popular shows in general that generate "controversy" attract retarded views like that, but even really innocuous and mediocre series get some of these people frothing at the mouth. I posted it in the Weeaboos thread, but a now-deleted review made me look at the "Kiss Him, Not Me" reviews and it's hilarious how many negative/mixed-feelings reviews there are bitching about "fatphobia" and how gross it is to fetishize BL despite the fact the series was created by a fujoshi making fun of fujoshi culture.

Back in my day, we only wanted to watch anime where characters died. Me and my brother watched the original Higurashi, Code Geass, and the Gankutsuou when we were kids, and we loved the hell out of it. I tell you, kids these days fear facing more complex emotions and concepts.

Edit: Also, speaking of death, and since it's the beginning of October, has anyone here watched Shiki? I watched the whole thing years ago and remember loving the hell out of it. Might rewatch it this month in celebration of the season.

Cyberpunk Anime was pretty good and didn't overstay it's welcome. The game is also fine I did a full clear of it last winter (and therefor before I could be braindamaged into having this opinion by a successful anime) and if you like Ubisoft open world collection garbage it's that except better then Ubisoft's take on it. There are parts of the game that don't feel like they should be in a AAA game (driving and how police aggro worked being the most egregious examples) but they are fine enough as it is and if you have any tolerance for Eurojank as it is you can just write those parts off. It's not as good as Ghosts of Tashima or anything but I thought it was fun.

I agree.

You know, one thing I’ve noticed about a lot of modern cartoon and anime fans is that they’re a bunch of autistic wimps.

Like, these people can’t take any kind of negativity. If they see negativity, they start ranting and seething or they completely shut down.

It’s really pathetic.
