Spooky month time!
>>33456 Here's the rest of it.
flip fappers is good the colors holy fuck
>>27262 Watched the second episode and I 'get it', enjoying it. The first episode focused too much on world exposition, where the world has no story/lore and is more a visual spectacle. >>27266 >Might just be me but ep3 was giving me some heavy KLK vibes. I got it as well; my thinking was a more general 'Trigger Studio feel'.
>>27666 it's definitely influenced by Trigger works. studio 3hz is relatively unknown, i think flip flappers is the only thing they've worked on but i like the 'vibe' a lot. i predict/hope we'll see a lot more of these klk-esque anime in the coming years. take no game no life which was basically klk by madhouse. anime should always strive to be visually confrontational/appealing.
I <3 the OP https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6nlDwOfZu8
>>33677 There's a very nice AMV that uses the full-length OP to retell an abridged version of the story: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a11g02F10ms The amount of effort put into this show overall is breathtaking. It's a treat to watch, and you don't necessarily have to care about the underlying themes or motifs to enjoy it.
Believe me you will be like god
>>33510 >>33511 Since some time ago I wanted to get into this, what would you recommend to start with? Manga, this OVA?
>>33510 That's a lot of ketchup
>>33520 Read the original Devilman manga before anything else. Then watch/read whatever you want, most are meant to be sequels anyway.
>>33001 The nose knows
Story is about a girl who discovers she's part of a cursed blood line and has to find and defeat a mahoshojo to lift the curse on her family.
I'm still convinced until proven otherwise that momo has already been loosing her powers and is training a replacement now that she found someone good and pure of heart.
>>33401 I wonder what secrets she's been keeping
Last episode was quite a lore dump! I guess we now know part of the burden that Momo has been carrying. As we learned in an earlier episode Momo had no family, so it's likely she was adopted by Sakura. And with this episode's reveal that Sakura suddenly went missing some time back, that might help explain some of Momo's trauma.
>>33476 Read the manga (still ongoing) if you want more.
What do you think about video game adaptations(not visual novels)? Rpgs usually already have fleshed out stories with more room for diaologue and side characters, but there's benefits to an animated medium too. Which ones have you seen?
I find most of them to be the equivalent of shovelware. Low-effort, poorly directed & lousily written garbage put out in an attempt to cash in on the fan's goodwill for enjoying the game. VNs are generally less offensive in this regard, as there is literally an existing script (which will be butchered, but I digress) for a starting point -- more true videogames have less to work with initially, and the end product is so much worse. Or it's a 23 minute advertisement for the game with no plans to put forth an actual series.
>>33669 If you like E&L you're probably going to like its animated series.
>>33671 I did enjoy the game. The Dusk series had a really great image of living a decent life in what amounts to a dying world.
>>33672 Absolutely. It's a very melancholic and yet cheerful world.
How about it? Anyone want to give this a shot?
Some of these are amusing. Thanks, people.
Pretty much.

What are some themes from anime which you disagree with? A lot of times when I'm watching anime, I feel as if the characters are being as mouth pieces for the creators. This is a problem in itself, since I think it's better to let your audience think for themselves, but it's especially annoying when the message is something I think is bullshit or just doesn't make sense. Kokoro Connect is one of the worst examples I can think of. I don't even remember what they were trying to say, but I couldn't stomach how they did it. The teacher arch in the World Only God Knows was just confusing. Are overbearing teachers a good or bad thing? Did Keima just say what the teacher wanted to hear? I didn't get it. Mob Psycho 100 is a show I really like, but when I take a step back, its message doesn't make all that much sense. On top of that, Mob is a favorite show of "politically conscious" "anime fans" who like to criticize actual otaku. Basically, the shows says average relationships with average people are the most valuable thing a person can have, nobody is better than anybody else because of natural aptitudes, and having ambitions that could affect others or wanting to change how the world works is juvenile and foolish, so growing up means being content with the status quo. We never learned how Claw planed on ruling the world. For all we know, they would have done a better job than the governments that currently exist. There's no reason given to think otherwise, except that Claw is just made up of "average people". It's like the show is implying the current governments have a divine right to power and officials have magic governing powers which separate them from "average people". Why? Governments came to exist through brute force to begin with, so how is replacing them through brute force unjustified? Somehow, Mob is never rewarded for preserving the status quo or punished for having his powers(experimented on). The idea that all people can change and become better no matter how much of and for how long they've been a cunt is also bullshit. There's no real basis for that(there's a lot of evidence to contrary actually like people getting sued for performing cpr). I also don't buy the Claw boss having a wife and kid. What Message too long. Click here to view the full text.
>>33455 If Rocklee was the main character, he would have a super secret power which made him stronger than everybody else. After "unlocking it" he'd spend a month or something in a training montage and surpass all his classmates. That's just the writer for you.
>>33455 its funny how at the end of the day the manga proved Neji right for saying that your lineage was everything
>>33455 So in the end it's an unintentionally accurate allegory of real life?
I hate it when the hero wins with one special move. Loved it when One Punch Man turned it on its head though.
According to Anime Japan 2019, these are the most recognisable anime characters here. How many do you recognise?
>>33465 Problem is that they aren't wearing their regular recognisable clothes like Lupin III and CC (Code Geas) in the upper right corner.
>>32666 needs more BORUTO
Anime is from Japan.
>>32666 What's going on here?
I found why the theatrical version of Evangelion isn't so popular in the West. It's format is based on traditional Japanese arts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jo-ha-kyu Eva 1: 'the first act as "Love"; the play opens auspiciously, using gentle themes and pleasant music to draw in the attention of the audience'. Eva 2: 'The second act is described as "Warriors and Battles" (shura). Though it need not contain actual battle, it is generally typified by heightened tempo and intensity of plot'. Eva 3 Q (kyu): 'The third act, the climax of the entire play, is typified by pathos and tragedy. The plot achieves its dramatic climax'. Eva 4: 'the fourth act as a michiyuki (journey), which eases out of the intense drama of the climactic act, and often consists primarily of song and dance rather than dialogue and plot'. Eva 5: 'The fifth act, then, is a rapid conclusion. All loose ends are tied up, and the play returns to an auspicious setting'.

What is the last character design that made an impression on you?
I've been watching Yumekui Merry. Merry's design is really cute, and I think somewhat reflects the author's previous work on Touhou doujin manga.
I am having withdrawal from the strong lack of imouto anime and manga. Imouto anime was the major reason I became interested and obsessed with anime. Bill 156 is fucking killing me. This isn't fair.
Now that you mention it OP I haven't noticed much of the stuff lately. Was it a passing phase?
>>27423 I doubt it. We still see remnants of it in some newer anime, they just never go in depth. There was some government shit that went through in 2010. Along the lines of 'won't somebody please think of the children!'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokyo_Metropolitan_Ordinance_Regarding_the_Healthy_Development_of_Youths >The definition of harmful material is expanded to include "any manga, animation, or pictures that features...sexual or pseudo sexual acts between close relatives whose marriage would be illegal, where such depictions and / or presentations unjustifiably glorify or exaggerate the activity".
Best imouto coming thru
>>33478 Miho is best imouto.
