Here's hoping there will be a sequel in the future.

I'm going to miss this series, there's anything that could fill the void next season?

Doga Kobo's doing Maou-jou de Oyasumi next season, and there's Gochiusa too.

>>34651
There will be a couple of cgdct SoLs as the other post mentioned but if you are looking for something iyashikei then unfortunately you might have to wait until winter, at least there will be Non Non.

>>34577
It's just promotional material.

>>34578
I hope that's all it is. Almost feels like an out of season April fools joke.

>>31435
But it is ok.

Saiki Kusuo no Ψ-nan

so surprised to seed doki-doki school hours winning in '05. i had no idea japan was sophisticated enough to enjoy DDSH so thoroughly.
first half of the top row is majority non-moe, 2nd half is mostly moe. was ping pong the animation really that long ago?
good pic

Are you confusing doki doki school hours for poni poni dash?

>>33831
I haven't even seen half of these...

>It mostly just sits there
As soon as my first archiving drive got corrupted I had to start thinking about backing up my back ups. No thank you, archiving needs maintenance and really ends up being a burden. I still generally don't stream but my ultimate solution is to just let go of entertainment media and not worry if I can't find it anymore.

Use ZFS(/btrfs) alongside raid(-z). Or if you want to avoid thinking about it, get a synology nas which will internally take of pooling and file system details for you and just expose an smb share.

>If you have so much data that can't be found anymore by others, you have a "responsbility" to reupload it so others have access.
Just felt like saying, I made a thread for this very purpose a couple years ago here. If anyone sees this and cares feel free to use it. >>29466

痛いのは嫌なので防御力に極振りしたいと思います(Itai no wa Iya nano de Bougyoryoku ni Kyokufuri Shitai to Omoimasu)。

Remember when anime characters had noses?

>>34520
They still do.

Umiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii da~

>>34312
I'm watching this for Kokkoro. Some of the staff worked on KonoSuba, so that carried through in this show.

>>34492
Now that you mention it, there are certainly some similarities.

Season2 announced.

Last one from official twitter

Di Gi Charat is organizing a listen-along where you listen to the "top 10" songs that you can see listed on the last image.
The way it works seems to be that people will get their own CDs/mp3s/whatevers and organize on Twitter using the tag "でしこの同時再生会" which means "Deshiko's synchronized replay meeting"
Apparently you also have to follow @dejiko_15th. I'm not sure why because I don't use Twitter but if I'm going to guess I'd imagine it's because the account will tell you when exactly to play the next song.
You also get prizes, presumably randomly selected from the people posting with the tag. I don't know if there's anymore or whatever but the two listed in the image are a signature from Kogedonbo and a CD.

That art looks cute and getting a CD/signature would be nice (assuming they ship overseas) but I don't use Twitter.

That's cool. Sounds like a fun time.

Best imouto coming thru

>>33478
Miho is best imouto.

>>34410
Rosehip is fast but I don't think she's an imouto

>For example, a 'righteous' MC fighting for what he believes is right ends up either succumbing to his sinful imperfect nature or realizing that his objective-what he is fighting for, isn't exactly the most altruist, moralistic cause. Also, a lot of media may make the villain more human (sob-story of a past), but I would love to see a villain that turns out to actually be right, or, at least, very legitimate in his argument/ defense for his actions
Subversion of good vs evil is almost as played out as straightfoward good vs evil. Often there's some racial component where there's an evil race of supernatural beings who actually turn out to not be so bad. Or maybe the villain is actually trying to save the world and maybe the hero has also been tricked. Or maybe the protagonist's idealism ends up being harmful. That's all been done already. Stories where the viewer can choose who to see as the antagonist would actually be different.

Moral relativism is about as common as black and white morality. It's all good as long as it makes sense in-universe. Also using Yamaxanadu for a post like that seems ironic.

There's lots of media that don't fall for those topics. LOGH doesn't have a villain, except some fucks that are the ISIS of their universe, there's two sides with all kinds of people in them. I think you need to be aware about what is the public a product is made for, stuff made for kids and teenagers is going to have more of those kind of things, without taking into consideration it's quality. Also sometimes good vs evil can be perfectly fine too, see The Lord of the Rings, or Star Wars, etc.

the whole otoko janai meme

This looks interesting. Thanks

Makoto in GHOST IN THE SHELL? OK, not many here are ex-military but she qualifies as 30+

I pick some lower quality compromise usually, for older shows usually 480p for newer 720, mostly to save disk space. For shows I really like I'll get some BD release. If there's a fansub I'll usually pick that over dual audio releases also.

I often go back to download and archive BD releases of shows I enjoyed.

Care a lot for personal favorites. Preferably 1080p x264 FLAC BDrip with scans of the packaging and audio CDs. Also the BDMV.
For shows I enjoyed, HEVC Hi10P, preferrably OPUS.
In both cases I look for encoders and groups I trust/have downloaded from previously and just watch some parts to check for inconsistencies. Sometimes I download an episode or 2 to compare.

For shows I didn't like much, I go for a smaller 720p release, HEVC if available, and just check that it wasn't a 16yo hackerman encode.

Usually raws.
Quality and completion over size.

Because I like to reminisce about shows I've watched; Admire the cover art and character design of the characters I like; Do not trust companies to keep them; Like to think that some day, may be able help someone who is looking for the files of a show they'd like to watch/archive in the future.

These shows and characters are my little treasures.

For older anime I don't mind if it's a DVD rip (it just has to be a good one). I find most of my stuff in high-quality anyway. But for recent anime I try to get the best release available since I've a lot of space with my 2x3TB HDD.

I like a decent quality ~ 360/480 for older releases.720 minimum for new releases.
