I like Yuukos voice in Machizoku Mazouku.

I really like Yuzuhara Konomi's voice. Her seiyuu didn't really do a lot of other roles, which makes me sad. The only other notable ones were the original Yukiho Hagiwara and Thursday from Disgaea.

Ditto: the tiny sound effects and nuances for both Shamiko and Gosenzo are absolutely lovely.

I think in addition to solid character dynamics what can make or break a SoL is the voice acting. Going from a 4-koma/manga to an anime, there's lots of opportunities to express the range of emotions via voice, and pairing this with a good OST makes the adaption come alive.

>Warfare
Warefare also can't be considered daily life.

>Whether we are religious or not, most of our morals are derived from the bible as we are raised in a society that was made that way and much of these morals go against natural instinct.
To some extent, but there's many aspects of religion which does fit human nature. Fear of death, wanting an explanation for things, wanting to feel protected, wanting routine and tradition. I think cultural evolution is guided by human nature to the extent where the two can't be seperated. Communism could only come about by force and not natural development. Boiling human nature down to wanting food and sex is an over-simplification. I also think different groups of people are predisposed to forming certain types of culture.

In some places it was fairly common, it's hard to tell what it was like in Europe but Europeans living amongst tribal people have noted that it was often quite frequent. But still, the average man would not be able to eat humans that often or there would be a discrepancy in the ratio of people killed to be eaten and people eating the killed. But it's likely more important people would eat humans on a more regular bases. On Fiji there was a tribal chief that would place a stone in a line behind his hut every time he ate a human, he had a line of 872 stones. But regardless of how frequent it was it was still done.

>Fear of death

Many societies didn't fear death, the samurai didn't and it could be said that religion was aimed at preventing it by telling people that it was okay to die, they would go to heaven.

There are some aspects of human nature that cultures will cultivate but some it will fight against.

>Fiji
Small island. I'm not convinced there was ever any large society where cannibalism was viewed as no different from eating animals. Even then, it was a chief who probably wanted to show off how macho he is.
>But still, the average man would not be able to eat humans that often or there would be a discrepancy in the ratio of people killed to be eaten and people eating the killed
Eating people also poses a larger health risk since diseases are so easily passed.
>religion was aimed at preventing it by telling people that it was okay to die
That's what I meant. Religion is a solution to a problem. It was created partially for that reason.
>There are some aspects of human nature that cultures will cultivate but some it will fight against.
I agree with that and I already stated that, but while you think culture is more influential on people, I think culture's influence on people is just an extension of huamsn nature because cultures are formed the way they did because of that nature.

Depends on what you mean by “nature”. The way I understand it you can shape the response of the individuals to their innate nature but the actual nature doesn't change so I dunno.

You eat the lethal injection. Haha.

I think that's called "sublimation", when something goes beyond the mere natural reasons and reaches value for itself.
So yeah, 2D>3D.

>>33513
Do you think we'll be able to make 3-d painted ladies?

For non-living things such as scenery, it's a really open question as to why we find some things pleasing but I'm guessing it has to do with how our senses evolved to find comfort in certain scenes over others. It's really similar to how in music theory we have all these heuristics in place and we can sort of reason it out by working off some basic principles such as logarithmic perception of pitch, but other than that we don't really have any good non-subjective reason other than the fact that it seems to work and be a shared experience.

>>33519
If our brains were structured a bit different, polytonic music would sound better to us, but as we are now, one key at a time is what we naturally perceive as pleasant for some reason.

The one from 2017 is Anne-Happy, and is about a few unlucky girls that go to a school together and get into all sorts of trouble along the way (still one of my favorite moe series of all time).
The one from 2014 is Gochūmon wa Usagi Desu ka, and I'm sure that one needs no introduction considering that I have seen posts of it a few times on this very site.

>>32720
Gochiusa's definitely become a staple of CGDCT and Anne Happy was about as popular as any other moe seasonal.

I was actually really curious to see which post-2000 shows are indeed "obscure" by some metric (perhaps relative to their genre since SoL as a whole is going to be less popular), excluding ONAs/shorts. Luckily someone scraped the MAL database (search "MyAnimelist Anime Dataset as 2019/02/04" on Kaggle, it's only 5MB) so I could do some fun queries.

Here are some interesting things that you might or might not care about (I'm only focusing on SoL shows because that is what I watch):
* There are only 335 SoL shows from 2001 onwards filtering out kids shows and shorts (defined as shows less than 20 minutes)
* The most popular SoL shows are Toradora, Clannad, and AnoHana (this is using MAL's metric of popularity which is the number of people who have it in their list)
* The least popular show is "Wala! Pyeon-uijeom The Animation" which aired in 2010
* The least popular CGDCT show is "The Marshmallow Times"
* Highest ranked shows are sangatsu no lion 2nd season, clannad after story, and mushishi
* Lowerst ranked shows are Glasslip, Battery, and Gunparade Orchestra

But what would be really nice is to find "hidden gems," shows that are not popular compared to their rating. I'm not sure what's the best way to do this, but here's one quick metric I used:

Very interesting but a bit flawed in that it is based on MAL so therefore on western tastes.

>>31671
Yes. But I seem to have less time these days, so I'm more picky...

I don't mind them, I've never really got into it though, if it was a game I might but isn't it some kind of role-play thing?

Pokémon Girls please.

That guy's an anti-monster girl, furry faggot. Don't conflate monster girls with furshit.

I'm a little confused, are you talking about 4chan?

Jesus I want get my ass beaten up by Kasumi so much...

I didn't say those types weren't also a problem, but they seem less influential to me. Video Games are big everywhere, unlike toonami shit, and image boards are ground zero for a lot of trends.

>>33497
Dead or alive's too realistic for my taste.

>>33489
This. But I guess it's time for another regularly scheduled struggle session.

Peaches.

There's so many. I like moles, eyebags, braids, braces (really uncommon), glasses, eyepatches, abs, scars and prosthesis. You could say I'm the Albert Fish of anime fetishes.

Mostly seems fine to me. The only point I'd make is with the line "恋の魔法かけたメッセージ", which you translated as "The message of the magic of love connects our beating hearts". 魔法（を）かける (as in 掛ける) is a set phrase meaning to cast magic, whereas it looks like you were reading it as 架ける, maybe? I'm not really sure where you got "connect" from. But yeah, other than that, it seems like a decent translation.

Post more on /日本/, it's lonely.

Woof.

One cat and two dogs. The cat's a bit of an isolationist and spends a lot of time on her own.
The dogs are really energetic and are a bit foolish. I love them all.

i enjoy caring for plants

>>33465
Do you have an outside garden, or do you tend potted plants? Sounds nice, regardless.

>>33455
Well they have been linked to it yes, particularly drugs.

I can only tell you to read about tulpa if you want to know about it. Relating it with schizophrenia is spook of the worst kind. Of all things you must not be afraid of your own mind, you can do amazing things with it.

>>33459
I've already read of it, it's what it is. You can try and sugar coat it all you like, the bottom line is that a tulpa is just a figment of your imagination.

>>33460
First you said it was induced schizophrenia now it's just a "figment of your imagination"?

Have you ever tried this? I feel like I'm just talking with whatever prejudices you have.
