How about just pics and links with some comment, this time? --------------------- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1F5CcHWFjMA Part 1/3. Now you can begin to imagine what Fuminori experienced everyday (also: some of the most faithful depictions of 3D sex I have ever seen in part 3/3).Post edited on 27th Dec 2012, 11:33pm
The sequel is still to come.
All the missing videos in this thread give me an empty feeling. Here's my contribution. It's a Nico medley with the gimmick of combining two songs at once. Some of the combinations are brilliant. https://youtu.be/PN2qF7329cQ
So many ded youtube links... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LYd8Qe861w
Kyoani has been burned down after an arson attack, with many dead and injured. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-49027178
The director of Lucky Star was one of the victims. Fuck.
>>32761 Holy... I just looked up to check this was true and he was the director of Kobayashi as well. Really sad.

Support KyoAni! I will.
This has been something that's been brewing in my mind for a long time. Most people here have similar negative thoughts about 3-d women. What are the exact problems specific to 3-d women, physically and psychologically? Do you think their "design" could be improved upon, or is that a hopeless ambition? If you could, how would you make a better woman? I'm seriously interested in this.
>>32836 >>32828 I am not the person(s) you were talking to but if I may, I would like to provide my input. When it comes to human nature, I am more drawn to the feminine. Sure I like beer and guns and steak and other manly shit, but female nature is more emotional and warm. So if I had a choice, I would probably have more female friends than male friends. The only problem is, most of the women I have met in meat space are incredibly unpleasant, or at least the ones around my age are (I'm in my early 20s). Most of the women around my age are rude and obnoxious, and the ones I have befriended in the past had ulterior motives. This is really the major reason I was drawn to SoL series with all female casts in the first place. Sure they are attractive and cute, but the main reason I watch them is because I like to imagine what it would be like if they were my friends. If I was right there with them, drinking tea after school or hanging out in a shopping mall or what have you. And most of the time, I am not even attracted to these characters in a romantic or sexual way. So if you ask me, one of the major things I would change about 3D women is their personalities.
>>32861 >but female nature is more emotional and warm Emotional yes, I don't get where you get warm from. I don't think you can say personality can be seperated from nature, regardless of what the predominant culture is. All of those idealistic depictions don't seem to have any basis in reality. I really wonder where they came from in the first place. Again, this isn't about the made up bullshit version of women that only exists in fiction. Why are you comparing 3-d men to 2-d women?
>>32861 Yes I've felt this too. Nothing makes me feel more content than watching a group of girls in an anime do things together and show that they're genuine friends. >>32864 The way I interpret "warm" is that they're more open about showing their affection and friendship toward each other. The portrayal of men in media usually doesn't focus heavily on things such as their feelings or the way they are genuinely grateful to be friends with someone. Such things are antithetical to the idea of masculinity. On the other hand, SoL/GGDCT anime focus almost entirely on these ideas, whether it's Azunyan tearing up at the idea of her friends graduating and leaving her, or Yuzuko wishing that their group will remain friends forever. When watching such shows you can't help but feel a sense of warmth and belonging as if there's no other place where you'd rather be than among their circle of friends, comforted by the fact that the bonds you share are everlasting (and thanks to the nature of the 2D medium, they are indeed eternal).Post edited on 1st Aug 2019, 6:40pm
>>32865 >The way I interpret "warm" is that they're more open about showing their affection and friendship toward each other. In real life, or in media? In real life, female relationships don't seem that different to me. They're not so much deeper and more affectionate from what I've seen. Maybe there's more bullshit and deception though. Why even bring up what goes on in media? >The portrayal of men in media usually doesn't focus heavily on things such as their feelings or the way they are genuinely grateful to be friends with someone. Such things are antithetical to the idea of masculinity. I really don't know about that. I think it's more of a western thing. In some countires, heterosexual men holding hands in public is normal. I really don't know what you mean by "antithetical to the idea of masculinity". What is the idea of masculinity to you? Berserk and Jojo are just two examples of very close male relationships being depicted. Frankly, I think yuri overtones are so common in SoL because it panders to the otaku demographic. Otaku are predominatly men who both desire women, and fear/resent average real life people. So the solution is depicting girls with no undesirable or threatening traits in mushy lovey-dovey friendshing that are just platonic enough for the target demographic to imagine being in a relationship with one. On top of that there's no men around to stink up the screen. The viewer is the only man, so there's no perceived competition to make things even a little uncomfortable. It's like a mental harem.Post edited on 1st Aug 2019, 10:25pm
Censorship is banning steak cos infants can't eat meat. https://www.eff.org/deeplinks/2019/07/key-safety-online-user-empowerment-not-censorship
Nice image but pls no more agenda posting
The 5 eyes or "good guys governments" want all your to belongs to them.
>>32856 Here's the news on it https://www.forbes.com/sites/zakdoffman/2019/07/30/u-s-and-u-k-propose-forcing-whatsapp-and-others-to-include-encryption-backdoor/
Isn’t this a /tat/ thread?
There are eva themed two-bedroom apartments in Gunma for rent at ¥45,000. Could you see yourself living here?
>>32336 ¥45k still seems pretty good for a two bedroom place, and in a town at that. That money would get you a cardboard box or a shed in the desert here.
>>32337 Assuming Japanese rents are given monthly. If it's weekly, that's more in line with my expectations.
Does it come with Rei and/or Asuka?
>>32703 Have both?
I've heard most anime uses a very simplified version of Japanese and using it with native speakers can be seen as insulting. Is there any truth to this?
>>32283 Most people pick up English from TV, even if they grew up in an English speaking country. It's why our language is becoming so homogenised(well that and social media).
I can't say if it is simplified, but there is a clear difference (at least to me) between Japanese used in anime and the Japanese I hear in live actions. Kumiko from Hibike is the only character that was speaking like an actor from a live action.
Far as I can tell it seems to be slowed down with words pronounced very clearly. I can see how that type of speech can leave a person feeling talked down to.
>>32308 Makes it easier for a Jap-learner like me.
I don't see any thread about this so post here about stuff you did outside, of your own will of course. I went on a small trip to look for fossils in an old quarry. It was rather meh, didn't enjoy it much. Brought home a fistful of small Perisphinctes. I found a lot of fragments of really big shells, whole things must have been like 30cm big at least. Pieces of big old belemnites too but it was all smashed to shit. The quarry was obviously big on using dynamite.
Does tohno chan like fishing? Do you prefer saltwater or freshwater if you do? I know fishing otaku are a pretty large thing in japan if mastodon and twitter are any indication but it doesn’t seem to appeal to the same crowd.
>>32607 I keep having dreams about fishing even though I only did it once as a child.
>>32428 Got any bismuth?
>>32708 No, pure bismuth doesn't occur naturally. The colourful crystals you've seen are synthetic therefore boring. Anyway bismuth minerals can't be found in limestone.
This isn't another "bitch about modern internet" thread, I genuinely am curious if anyone else here suffers from net addiction. From a usage tracker I put on my computer, I spend about 10 hours a day actively on the computer, mostly using a browser and sometimes playing games but mostly just mindlessly browsing the web and often F5ing slow boards. Does anyone else do similar?
It is not the addiction that bothers me as much as how it is not a sustainable lifestyle. What all these people don't understand when they talk about addictions like drugs, alcohol, internet is that they blame the addictive substance for everything that is wrong with the addicted's life. People aren't addicted to drugs or alcohol because there are magic chemicals in there that hypnotizes you to crave it. People are addicted because their life is shit and their addictions made them feel better. You can't just see a deadbeat internet addict as a well adjusted, hardworking person ruined by computers and by taking away the internet they will miraculously return to their "default" state of being functional. This is why supposed therapeutic "cure" is useless. Patient who weaned off one type of addictions often finds a new one. I could go cold turkey until I completely forgot that the internet exists but so what? My life is still shit and there is nothing for me to do. Outside of the thing that can be called addictions there is absolutely nothing else in my life that I can enjoy. What do you want me to do after I stop binge browsing fetish porn every day? Work hard and get rich? Get friends and 3DPDs? Become a productive member of society? I don't give a fuck about any of those shit. All of society can go to hell. I just want to stay in my room and play games or whatever.
>>32643 Too true. >>32644 Go away.
>>32643 Even if you don’t want to do any of that there are other things you can do besides excessive screen time, I feel as if the web has ruined my attention span, I can’t watch things or read a book without itching to do something else but I can surf the web for hours and f5 dead sites.
This isn't another "bitch about modern internet" thread
What makes your heart go moe moe kyun?
1. I think we already have a thread like this. 2. That is one of the best pics I have seen on this site so far! Saved! I extend my sincerest gratitudes.
all those cute anime girls we're watching today were probably born in like 2005 or so. don't that make you feel old?
>>32578 While it's true that "anime" means animation in general, they use the loanword cartoon (カートゥーン) to mean comedic animation from the US and Europe. Gekiga also isn't the same, as it refers to a particular more realistic style compared to the more stylized Tezuka style illustrations popular at the time, and is a dated term anyway.
>>32579 Nah, like any other dumb girl they'd simply latch onto men and have those guys take care of them for life.
>>32582 Osaka would probably get hit by a car before that could happen.
>>31900 >>31905 What changed about the western fanbase so much? It was always filled with morons that made low quality posts and memes (called fads at the time, like demotivational posters) but just the format of low quality posts changed, instead of moronic wapanese teenagers spamming misspelled posts with dongers its just the same shit but with the current climate of memes and low quality posts. I think you all just grew up.
I don't know where to put this since i think /fb/ is gone now but this discussion deserves its own thread. Why are there people on here bragging about their happy lives relationships and sexual experiences? i thought this was a website for social outcast and losers not normalfag anime fans there literally is no need to humble brag about experiences because it upsets other users and i get that this website is dead but it seems like tohno doesn't care about this place anymore because he is now letting normalfags in and allowing users to shitpost and be sarcastic when this isn't that other chan i feel like i don't fit in anywhere and just want to leave the internet for good.
>>32514 Why are you even asking them? Why do you think they'll be convinced by anything you say? They are a failed normalfag, and a very bitter one at that. They value "social acceptance" (sex) and family and whatever the fuck else and think the zombie masses "have it great it life". Some people are a waste of time and that's why this thread should be locked.
>>32510 This. No more normalfag apologism. No more what ifs.
>>32516 lol.
Yeah screw it I'm locking this embarrassment of a thread. And no I'm not deleting the bingo thread, lighten the hell up.
