I didn't know that, that's a shame.
Also the manga is really good but I forgot to say that while doing Dragon Half Ryusuke Mita style changed drastically into something really weird (to the point it seems a completely different author) and that can turn you off (I didn't like it but at least it was still fun). The OVA's just adapted the beginning so it's the old style.

It looks mostly the same to me, just "sharper" later on.

Tenamonya Voyagers
I just finished it after having it sit on a disk for years
4 part OVA from 1999 abt 3 girls that try to return to earth after being stranded on a foreign planet with no money.The artstyle is amazing-it has its funny moments though.Not based on any manga it ended a little abruptly probablty due to lack of interest but still it became one of my all time favorites.

>>33935
just rewatched it a couple weeks ago
really funny and lighthearted show-highly recommended

Kirara is a 2000, 1 episode ova about a woman who dies on her wedding day, but gets to see her fiance once more, except as a ghost 8 years ago, as their relationship was just beginning to develop. Her interference could potentially screw everything up.

It's clumsy, confusing, aimless and has no real conclusion. You'd think at the end everything turns out okay and she moves on to the after-life or something, but that never happens. There actually is no clear ending. Everyone is aware of her and knows she's a ghost, but they all act strangely nonchalant about it. Nothing anybody does makes a whole lot of sense. There are a few touching moments here and there though. The premise has potential, but could have been executed way, way better.

Visually, it's surprisingly poor. It look like something that easily could have come out more than ten years before it did. The art style isn't that pleasant either. The animation itself could have been worse, but it's just okay. Watch this if you're a romance junkie I guess, or love old, shoddily executed stuff.

Good to see Isekai Shokudou doing well in a ranking.

I expected Zombieland Saga to be 1. All that hype that was generated from it.

Does anyone know what the second to last on the very bottom right is? Pink hair and green glasses?

That's an interesting idea about catboy studs on farms. Fertilizing human embryos with modified genetic code would likely be very impractical in the long term for large volume production due to the work involved in modifying the genetic code, issues with pregnancy time, sourcing volunteers, paying them, and more. catboys as such would indeed be necessary. I imagine there would have to be very strict regulations and laws in place to keep catboys out of public hands let alone running wild, and the corporations would likely keep them under very heavy guard at all times as such, but I do wonder if it wouldn't be possible to artificially inseminate a catgirls embryos without the need of a male donor. Use of a stud alone would likely produce unpredictable results in offspring, as such I imagine catboys would need to be milked for genetic material which would then be modified and injected into female embryos to produce a desirable grade of catgirl. Although it would indeed be more profitable in the long term to use selective breeding techniques to create a sustainable chain of what would be essentially pure bread offspring. It could be the corporations do both, having natural born catgirls at a lower price with the genetically modified custom catgirls at a high premium.

And yes catgirls technically not being human would probably allow the companies to skirt all sorts of laws and regulations. They'd likely use paid off officials to lobby in favor of these companies and retain the loopholes, for a time. At least until catgirl rights activists start to form resistance movements, which would then draw media attention, bad press, and eventually get some new regulations passed. ...could also be everyone's so happy to live in a world of catgirls that no one complains.
I imagine A catgirl would indeed most likely be expensive, but probably no more than a car. If I had to guess I'd say maybe in the 1,000,000 jpy ($10,000 USD) range. The main character's family in nekopara is said to be very wealthy if I remember correctly, and the MC's sister is obsessed with catgirls so it isn't unreasonable that they'd have so many.
Yes it seems crazy at first glan

Uh, what? Making new, novel dna from scratch would be way too much work to do often. If you use preexisting dna, you'd be making a clone. If your catgirl dies, that might be a nice option.
Catpeople probably have a different number of chromosomes than humans. Chromosomes are basically just the way dna is packaged, but it is a reproduction blockade. There's a man in China who was born with 44 chromsomes. He has no physical or mental abnormalities what so ever, but he can't reproduce with a normal woman.
>Use of a stud alone would likely produce unpredictable results in offspring
Not really. Selective breeding can be very fine-tuned and predictable, especially with artificial insemination(with sperm from a male). They could already look for sperm with specific information more than ten years ago. With no genetic engineering what so ever, they were able to make those Belgian Blue abominations. Selecting for very specific personality traits though is way more complicated, but the material breeders are already working with is good enough and customer expectations are probably not THAT high.
>people already do this all the time with expensive electronics like TVs that they dump on the side of the road, and cars that they abandon or sell for a fraction of what they paid. Then there's people who abandon their children for one reason or another, often a realization they're not up to the responsibility
The main point of a catgirl is sex though. It takes a while for them to be able to do their main functions, unlike electronics and cars. They're throwing away something at least as expensive as a car before they could even use it. The hardest point of child rearing is the first couple of years when they're totally dependent, but for catgirls that period is probably only a month or two and I bet there's nannies and daycare centers available that would take care of that for you. Affording it wouldn't be a problem

Making gametes from stem cells is actually quite possible. It's even possible to create female sex chromosome containing sperm like cells. You could then use that on the ovum of another cat girl and have full genetic variation bimaternal species without any living males. All you'd need to do is create a stable breeding population of females. As few as ~160 initial individuals could create a several generations of variants without issue if the genetic stock was selected carefully. Then after one recoups the initial investment create more new genomes and add them to the pool to stave off any potential bottlenecks or genetic degradation.

That's interesting. There's all kinds of complications that could come up though. They're a long way from ironing everything out. I think it would make everything less predictable and way more error-prone. The less infant death, the better. They can only reproduce so often and so many times, far less than actual cats.

Rozen Maiden is such a neat series, although I have yet to actually read the manga. The anime, though, is definitely a memorable one, and probably one of my favorites. Incredibly engaging characters, a very interesting plot, very good character designs, and animation that's sometimes cheesy and kind of awkward (six finger Suigintou) but works most of the time.
There's also a new season that everybody ignored that's supposed to be based on the new manga. The first episode is a really hasty recap though so it's kind of awkward going into after you just watched/rewatched the original series.

I'm confused. Why is it that the main characters are the only humanoid characters in this universe?

I don't watch a lot of Bones' stuffs but I think it's because they consists of 4/5 separate studios. Also do note that if it is an anime adaptation then creative control over art styles would be much more limited and dictated by the source material. Kirara SoLs are I suppose more uniform in art style being cute 4-koma heavy compared to shonen or more serious, seinen stuff that I think Bones does.

I think the same could be said of western art in this vein.

There's a big fundamental difference between single illustrations and an animated series.

The backgrounds for this are very pretty

This wolf is too cute! I can't handle it!

My current setup discourages me from taking screencaps. It sucks, but watching anime from my recliner instead of from my desk chair made the experience a lot comfier.

Tomboy loli, holy shit

Great advice for all the amateur campers and travelers out there. I can't see anything going wrong with that!

What about the ones separated by large bodies of water?

Could tossing a can of tuna be a legitimate means of distracting wild animals?

While she wasn't the MC, she was 32. MC's were a 28 yo (muscular maid) and a loli.
