I'm reading this manga right now, it's pretty fun.
I wonder if aspergers are the polar opposite of manipulative bastards, they say what they think instead of what others want to hear. Reminds me of Satori in legends, saying all truth and being absolutely hated for it.
Does anybody like to buy anime on VHS, or own any collections from back in the day?
Not going to try and make any hipster argument about VHS being superior to DVD or anything like that. Just think it's neat. It's a good format for enjoying official releases of 90s anime on. The thickness of the boxes also adds to the shelf art charm when you have a complete set. The early history of the anime home video industry is also pretty interesting to me.
I only have Magic Knight Rayearth (complete), some Sailor Moon and some Dragon Ball, I'd like to find some series from the 90s that had small enough runs to get a complete set relatively easy.
Mass-produced VHS collecting is retarded since all that shit is online anyway. Collecting those just come off as tryhard "retro collector". I used to have a bunch of TV recordings on VHS, but my uncle's house got fucked up by a tornado so all of those tapes went bye-bye.
>>14
Eh, why collect anything if everything's online? It's fun, cheaper than DVDs, and I don't have a bluray player.
Things that are "online" are very easy to go offline forever and without a warning. But I'd rather invest in a digital tape storage if I had an opportunity, it's pretty expensive.
>>14
VHS tapes are likely to go extinct. It would be a pretty damn cool collection to have in 50 years as everyone thinks that it just takes space and you can find it anywhere so they destroy it.
Not everything is online and there are very rare VHS tapes out there that you can find which makes collecting them fun and interesting.
>Collecting something that slowly degrades in qualiity
how retarded can you get?
>>19
You're supposed to keep a digital backup anyways. I think it would be pretty cool to visit a jii-san and see a full collection of VHS anime. I would definitely be impressed regardless of playability on some of the tapes. The cover has value too.
The only one I have left is my old fansub of End of Eva before we ever had a domestic relief here in burgerland
Rewatching Shuffle! after years
Dragon Maid S is missing something from season 1 but I can't put my finger on it.
My Next Life as a Villainess s2 on the other hand feels like a continuation of season 1.
>>19
It might have to do with the fact that it is directed by a different person since the one in charge of S1 died in the arson attack.
Idaten is a refreshing take on the 'teens with superpowers' formula. Being stronger than the villains and removing them the moment they appear instead of wasting whole arcs fighting them or leaving them to reappear in the future is something I fully welcome!

Just watched Porco Rosso with some friends. I'd never seen it before, so I had no idea what to expect, even though I knew it had some rave reviews (like most Ghibli films). It was pretty good all around! The animation was great and the political subtext was nice. That poor pig ;_;
I am watching Renkin San-kyuu Magical? Pokaan. It is a nice show, you might have heard of the fan game/vn "wolf girl with you", which is actually I think more popular than the actual show now.
>>8
I'm currently rewatching it. Definitely understand/notice a lot more this time.
This month I finished Flip Flappers, Otherside Picnic, and Made in Abyss.
Liked them a lot, enjoying Princess Principal right now.
Made in Abyss was pretty cool. Too cool for the gay youtube.

Has anyone on here seen the Japanese Death Note live action movies?
I think they had a better ending because L won and it was more like the manga.

There's no five star acting in it, but that's part of what makes it so funny. In Japanese, Sato has a "cool guy" voice, some in Japan would even consider it a handsome voice. In the ENG dub his voice just sounds funny. And of course the added swears are more hard hitting than the subs (which are actually inaccurate translations if you own the DVDs). If you've never watched the entire dub, just think of a scene you thought was kind of funny and then watch the dubbed version of it. You'll end up seeing something like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wLnagfwTwKo
I think in Japanese Sato sounds kike a ladies man while in English he sounds more like a screwed up unemployed shut-in which he is of course and that doesn't surprise me that the subtitles are incorrect and yeah i own the DVD.
>in Japanese Sato sounds kike a ladies man
Freud is intrigued.

This is what i actually meant my apologies for the typo i was drunk and tired.

The most relatable bit of japanese entertainment media is the Mamiya Takuji route of Subarashiki Hibi.
Have you ever realized how unnatural and cringy the dialogue is in a lot of anime?
When I was a teen, I used to watch loads of moeblob anime and thought it was nice and cute etc. but then my irl Japanese friend told me that nobody actually talks like this in Japan except chuunis and manchildren.
Then I started paying closer attention to what the characters were saying, their mannerisms, etc. And now I've come to the point where I can't even watch an anime without cringing, unless the dialogue is realistic.
Does anyone else here feel the same?
>>17
The problem I think OP is getting at is this:
Maybe some of those complains are mine. I watched season 1 and 2 of "Jojo's Bizarre Adventure" (English dub) on Netflix, and while it was interesting and had its high points, I felt like over all it was sorta lame. Sometimes I would switch over to the Japanese audio to hear the interesting Engrish.
It felt like the show was directed towards children and teenagers, which is not a problem to me insofar as it is still appealing to me. However, some stuff only children and teens can really like. As an adult I do like watching "Courage the Cowardly Dog" (so far), probably more than I liked watch Jojo. Maybe the difference is one is more in the action genre and the other is more in the humorous genre.
Try watching the new Hunter X Hunter anime after watching the old one.
>Speaking of bad animes, should I watch the "Death Note" anime series on Netflix? I've heard that there is some controversy around the Netflix version of it, like they changed some things that they shouldn't have or something.
No idea. It probably was about their adaptation being absolute shit that raped the original. I watched the review shitting on it 4 times already, maybe it excuses the existence of it somewhat. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=njmCtiO_Xj8
>if you listen closely to the dialogue in a lot of movies you'll notice it's quite stilted and doesn't really sound much like how real people speak, even movies with good actors
Especially movies with good actors.
There is a reason, why a genre called "mumblecore" exists.
Isn't this a copypasta? I swear I heard the same thing about the AVGN.
>>22
It reads like a pasta, but I've been seeing a surprisingly large amount of non-pasta critiques on AVGN/Nostalgia Critic/TGWTG/(etc) that runs along the same lines as of late. This is especially true since Mister Metokur released his series on TGWTG and related parties.
Not super surprising, all things taken into account, since AVGN/TGWTG was largely something that Millenial/early Zoomer kids would watch in their teens. That particular generation has always struck me as being incapable of realizing that some of what they enjoyed in the past is stupid and letting bygones be bygones, so they tend to let out that particular neurosis by reeing about it on the Internet instead. lol
I love media that embraces a distinction between realistic speech and dramatic speech. I don't care if it's not realistic. It is a dramatic form. It is inherently artificial. It should embrace that and pull all the tropes that make us like it to begin with.
Moreover anime nor movies are reality they simple narrate a reality. Now how well they script it is what makes it appealing and even that is subject to change as it becomes aged
2d girls do not speak like 3d girls because 2d girls are cute and 3d are not.
I wouldn't be surprised if he tried it, but I don't think you could do anything with telekinesis to a weiner besides helicoptering.
Do you think there's anyone out there in this universe who made his specialty 'wiener'? An example would be: "special tk wang bang" which they would yell prior to attacking. A theoretical application of this attack, which would involve focusing ones tk power though said wang, would be a focused attack onto a singular target for massive damage. Also how would this person deal with the social ramifications of using ones dong as a method of attack? Why would this person even choose to focus his tk powers though his peen? Is he just a massive degenerate pervert?
Why not use it on someone else? Charge exorbitant sums for "magic handjobs", or use it to distract your enemies.
Holy shit magic handjobs, that's ingenious. But is it still gay? I think it is, but there are definitely arguments against it...
Isn't mob psycho another overrated shonen battle animu? What makes it different from jojo, dbz, one punch, etc
>>12
hmm. Well, still doesn't look that interesting and the art style's ugly. Also the fact that it airs on toonami now and has amassed an audience of the same childish shonenfags that cant shut up about Jojo doesnt help either. I'll stick to aesthetic magical girl animus.

Poster number 15 has bad taste. Haruhi was fun but Ouran High School Host Club has the better Haruhi.
I bet you're one of those people who unironiclly thinks you have to have a high IQ to understand Rick and Morty TV isn't that deep anon LOL.

Not that poster, but if I were him I don't think I would take the guy that doesn't know how to spell unironically seriously when in a discussion about high IQs.

Hehe, cuck.
Yes Haruhi season 1 was fun but season 2 sucked ass.
When are they going to get off the boat?
