A new LoveLive group has just been unveiled! http://lovelive-anime.jp/newproject/ Not sure if this would be /an/ /vg/ or /mp3/, sooo whatever!
So this one is going to turn into an anime after Nijigasaki? There was some news of a recruiting some time ago, now that you mention it.
I can't say I'm loving this. The characters seem very generic.
LoveLive + Macross = Macross Delta
Official name's Love Live Superstars.
What do you think about reviews as a form of entertainment, and more broadly, mixing information with entertainment? What started out as a way for people to know if a product was worth buying or not has branched out into different genres of people stating and explaining their opinions on things which people consume not for their functional value, but for their own sake and because of cult of personality. There's no hard line between review, essay and opinion piece anymore. Siskel and Ebert might be an early example of this shift, were people tuned in more for their personality dynamic than to find out if they should watch a movie or not, but they were still called reviews. Redlettermedia pioneered the internet, video form of this, and now everybody in that circle uses variations of their format and jokes. Then there's stuff like that guy with the glasses, people who made things barely resembling a review, but called themselves critics. In written form, anime blogs were doing the same kind of thing. People eat it up.
I like hearing people talk about things they are very passionate about, that all i need from a review. I tend to like more personal blogs, i particularly enjoy the written form and don't care much for videos honestly, than professional reviewers.
A review in video format is a total waste of time and I see no reason to ever watch one. George Orwell, now known as a famous novelist was in his own time considered the greatest book reviewer alive. Just as he retired he wrote an essay titled "Confessions of a Book Reviewer" where he explained how and why he didn't even bother reading a lot of the stuff he reviewed. I highly recommend that essay and it is freely available online. It's a simple fact that if someone is financially dependent on writing reviews and pushing out content constantly they are going to end up writing some trash no matter how good they are. I think this is the crux of the problem.
>>35072 What if they do it for free?
>>34992 >reviews as a form of entertainment It's what you need to do for good info on Amazon shops these days. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24196237 5 or 1 stars tells you nothing!
whats the best country to move to if you just want to live off welfare and lurk the internet?
>>29623 I had a recurring fantasy of going to North Korea to seek asylum from the trappings of life in the west. Of course, they would probably either always suspect me or execute me on the spot, and North Korea has it's own problems. Why would they support me? They don't even feed their own citizens. Still, it's nice to think about before bed.
Argentina. Say you are paraguayan or bolivian and you'll have right to get citizenship and wellfare.
>>29622 Europe
The problem seems to be that every country with welfare is going to make you work for it, you don't get it for nothing it's support while they make you get into the work force. I have to spend half the year doing ridiculous things like volunteer work or courses and if they find me a Job I can't refuse it.
From the J-List newsletter: "One of the more refreshing aspects of Japan is the laissez faire attitude companies take to certain aspects of Japanese copyright, specifically "doujin" or fan-produced works such as ecchi doujinshi comics that explore improbable relationships between characters, or other kinds of non-official creative works like music remixes and soundtracks and, er, anime onaholes. In the decades since the first Comiket in 1975, an odd tradition of allowing free use of copyrighted works has grown up, due to the fact that virtually every industry artist got his or her start making doujinshi, and the reality that every modern anime needs a healthy "ecosystem" of doujin artists in order to make a mark with fandom. When studios went to remake the venerable 1974 Space Battleship Yamato franchise, they understood the need to engage fans from several angles, including adding in fan-service and encouraging creators to make fanart using the characters. But now an animation studio is trying to stop these creative works: the owners of Love Live are asking doujin circles and shops to completely stop distributing products featuring their characters, citing Japanese copyright rules. Since Bandai also tried (and failed) to use Japanese copyright to ban Pokemon doujin works back in the day, I'm sure this new development won't affect things much, but it is kind of a disappointment." I'm glad I never watched Love Live, nor bought any merchandise. Never will, now, either, and will inform others of why. I'll definitely never watch this anime, nor read its manga, ever.... considering how much money I spend on merchandise, they might regret it if this is a frequent opinion of people. Just, go away. Just, please go bankrupt, you fuckers... =_=
>there is fan fiction for sale of every single popular anything ever It is referring to the legal sale of copyrighted intellectual property at events such as natsucomi. There is no Western equivilent; you cannot legally profit from fan-fiction of intellectual property for which you have not obtained the rights to, and therefore there is no market event for sales of such items.
>>30203 I wonder if this is something the people working on the show support or not. It seems like the kind of decision that would come from higher-ups in the corporate ladder who are concerned about the "image" of their franchise. And why Love Live in particular? They own Idolmaster too but they aren't they trying to crack down on doujin works there?
You cant legally create fan-fiction. profit or not. Japan or west. But companies allow it, mostly
USA copyright caused this indirectly. When your copyright term is your life-time plus 50years, it's not sounding "temporary".
Do you ever feel ashamed or guilty when you find or look back on the things you liked in the past?
we've all made mistakes i know i have

>>29762 A little late I know, but I am doing fine now, other than depression and anxiety which can happen at random.
>>29603 No.
Do you have any new years traditions or resolutions?
Year 2020 is a bad year.. could we re-do it?
>>34398 What? So far it's been fantastic.
>>34400 I agree. Finally something interesting happens and it's the asocial's dream come true – you're no longer expected to interact with people, you're not merely allowed to but mandated to WFH, etc.
8/8 progress report. All is fine.
Lets play a bit of a game. Say the first word that comes to mind when you see the previous post's word. "Start"

Should governments make laws to protect people from hurting themselves?
>>35566 Yes. A person's life and meaningful freedoms aren't harmed if you prevent them from eating corn syrup shit and using meth. Both of which being harmful, addictive substances which exist solely for profit. There's no exact formula for these things, just a "I know what's killing people when I see it" approach.
Yes and no. I wholeheartedly agree with >>29487 >>35567
>>29485 Just let them. People hurting themselves seems like an issue that solves itself sooner or later.
>>29485 No. Who decides what's "harmful?" You trust the same governments that wants to ban encryption and file-sharing with the power to outlaw arbitrary things? Also this thread should be in /tat/ I think.
ITT: Methods to make money online or from home for our bros who refuse to be wage slaves.
Now for some other stuff copied from the soon to be deleted /$/; "A nice way to start. Its not work but if you're smart with whatever money you get you'll have a nice savings to start"
All of these options are pretty terrible, mostly since you're competing with third world agencies by working online, but i might as well list them >transcription work high wpm will help you but you still won't make much, will eventually be replaced by a computer. >art freelance Any freelance site that takes a cut / blocks interaction outside of the website (i.e. fiverr) isn't worth the effort. If you know the software well and have a bit of experience you can find desperate small jobs, of course being paid little for a lot of work, and the people are sometimes very hard to work with >code freelancing probably the best bet, though I haven't tried it. Knew someone who basically got paid to do some kid's programming homework. As with all freelancing jobs your advantage over the third world is your ability to english >other with no real skills or abilities, but with some luck or networking, you might end up managing someone's wordpress / wix website. Old people feel good paying young people small amounts to do shit they don't want. Downside is all these jobs require social interaction, but with personal jobs like this you might get someone who is at least understanding. >be a phone rep at home this is legit work but it's the worst shit ever. Most stressed out I've ever been. in any case your best bet is going through family members / friends because networking will get you 10x what a forum will. but everything (except transcription) requires social interaction to a large extent
>>31147 Be born rich. Then you can fail at everything & still be "successful" like PoTUS 45.
With the recent trends due to el virus, I guess almost all software engineering jobs are indefinitely "work from home." Of course at that point you just have a full-time wage-slave job.
What triggers you?
>>30550 I think that was the point.
-porn of my waifu. someone just uploaded giantess fetish art of her moments ago and im trying to avoid an autistic meltdown so that's why i'm writing this, actually. (its not working im going to cry) -people with shit taste. this is largely why i have no friends. i fucking refuse to hang out with someone with no standards. everyone i talk to, "dota 2", "shitty marvel movie", "shitty anime about talking about snacks and making squeaky noises for seven hours", "modern nintendo". no thanks. shit taste doesnt just lower my opinion of them, it actually ruins everything for me. why are no good things made anymore? because the world is full of shit eaters who are happy with garbage. -normalfag's cruelty. it makes their dicks rock hard to make children homeless and downplay mental illness. -retards that defend demonstrably shitty things for no reason, sometimes at their own expense ie. ignoring crime statistics, buying pitbulls just to be contrarian
when tohno gets sad i also get sad
