it is literally the work that inspired virtually all modern isekais and yet it was better than them, the anime adaptation was inferior to Novel but still is a good choice for those who want to start watching anime. what do you think about it?

Well he was not wrong, on the anime Saito is very "non-sentient" but in the novels he is a little better.
>it is literally the work that inspired virtually all modern isekais
And that's a bad thing. They also played a part in creating the pariah that are modern tsundere.

someone who hasn't watched anime in the past ten years here. mind explaining?
>it is literally the work that inspired virtually all modern isekais
Wrong. That's Mushoku Tensei.
>>8
No, the author of Mushoku Tensei has already said that he was inspired by Zero no Tsukaima in some elements of the MT plot.
Shitty Harry Potter wannabe from the era when crap like that was a dime a dozen and >>6 is also correct.
Also made an entire fanfiction section dedicated to Louise summoning someone.
Harry Potter? Sure. EMIYA? Yep.
Gilgamesh? "........."
Though I do want to see an Ascendance of Bookworm one with Zero no Tsukaima.

good job. now we'll need to write a fanfic where Louise unsummons your posts
Why does all anime look the same now? What happened? They all look so similar to one another these days. It's incredibly dull and boring. They all use the same color palate, the same art style, thin lines, all the characters look identical, the shading and tone is the same and then there's all the choppiness and framerate issues which lead to general ugliness. It's like they sink the entire budget into visual set pieces.
It probably costs less to stick to one style.
Most of the more generic anime from the mid 2000s looks pretty much all the same too. I think that style looks better, but I guess I am just becoming an old fart stuck in the past. Or it really just does take more time and effort to do it with the old techniques that made the style of the time. Stuff like Kanon, Air, Clannad, I really think that is the style to go with. It even looks decent on 360p. I still like new shows though, there's usually something I like in every season.
The framerate issues probably have to do with studios outsourcing work to the Philippines, China or South Korea. When you have animators spread out over multiple countries speaking different langauges choppinness and general ugliness is the result. It's a double edged sword really. The Philippine animators get to build expereience, but being used as cheap labor keeps them from producing their own high grade product. Anime also has to have a high turn over rate and they pump that shit out and whoever has to make it, Japanese or not, end up overworked and then their work sucks because they can't stop their hands from shaking.
To appeal to Americans anime has to look a certain way. So studios pump out the same “anime style” artwork which leads to less artistic diversity. More Americans consume anime than actual Japanese people so now they are the target audience. So its become an Asian minstrel show where people play into the stereotypes others have about them just to make money.
Hand drawn is dead. Everything is made by computers using engines and graphical tools that recycle the same components. Everything today is painfully stock.
>>3
I wonder how long those cheap labor sources have before Japanese studios just start using AI instead. Then everything will look the same and extra ugly.
>>6
They'll probably always use them. If AI will get rid of anyone it will be the Japanese animators. You'll have a handful of Japanese involved in the process, AI will do the heavy lifting, and they'll outsource the remaining human element to the cheap labor in foreign countries. The Japanese are adopting the Hollywood model of corporate exec dictated art and building huge endless content franchises. Give it decade and it will look exactly like Hollywood.
What >>4 said more or less, in tandem with:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cool_Japan
Generic marketable slop.
Most stuff produced in the 90s was also formulaic slop but there was more visual diversity back then at least. Probably because there were more studios with their own styles while today there are a handful of big corporations that have monopolized the industry. Formulaic slop happened when traditional cel animation was abandoned. Coincidence? I don’t think so. If you walk into a studio you’ll see most of the animators use the same tools and rely more on their tools than animators of the past and the bosses are slave drivers who want them to produce as many episodes fast as possible.
>>10
I learned about 8 months ago that Solo Leveling was made the same week as an episode released. Art is produced for the masses now but that's striking. The only thing good I can say about it was already said. The hope that AI adapts manga to anime rather than them lawl. Mo Dao Zu Shi and other chingchong anime like it are good though. Very beautiful with nice stories.
hi i want to play neon genesis evangeleon visual novels but i dont speak japanese then i dont know if exist any english version of that visual novels
A quick search on vndb.org indicates there are not many visual novels, and even less translations, the few of which are old machine translations. I wouldn't recommend it.
If you want to play them that badly you could start learning Japanese. I did that to play an untranslated VN and I'm still going even after finishing reading it. It's a fun hobby.
The "Shinseiki Evangelion: Koutetsu no Girlfriend" vn series for the PSP have translation patches for the first 2 games. And the story and translation is actually pretty good.
Gotta find them yourself tho...
Hope this helps
I'm fairly new to Otaku media and I'm kind of ashamed of it, in particular that haven't watched too many of them. As of now it's about 25 Anime and like 5 Manga. I'm genuinely interested and watch whenever I can, mostly 2 episodes every evening of whatever show I'm currently watching, but no matter how I look at it, I feel like I can never watch as much as I'd like to. How do Otaku, who have watched 200, 400 or 1000 Anime do that? I'm NEET and don't have anything that I need to do, but my day only has 24 hours like it's the case for everybody else, yet I don't get anywhere. I don't want to do it for showing off numbers, it's more about the content. There is plenty franchises, I'd like to know more about and get knowledgeable about all this, but watching 2-4 Anime per month really doesn't help with that.
What are all those Otaku doing, that I'm not doing or the other way around, what am I doing, what they aren't doing? Am I not dedicated enough? All explanations and help is appreciated.

try this + watching multiple things at once (works best when you pair an eventful show with something far more chill; for example, a couple episodes of shonen with a ghibli movie)
Just watch a little bit when you want to watch and you'll get through quite a lot in a decade or two. You can get through a 26 episode show in roughly 13 hours. You can get through a 12 episode show in roughly 6 hours. Some years I watch an absurd amount of anime, other years I barely watch anything. Just enjoy it, you don't need to be #1 best otaku hikikomori in the world. You're probably happier and enjoy each show more if you aren't.

What is wrong with you? Are you trying to speedrun running out of things to do in life and getting bored and depressed? Slow down.
Don't force yourself to watch things. Just pick shows you think you'll like, pick classics you think will appeal to you, or get recommendations, and try them out. If you like them, keep watching and if you don't go watch something else. There's value to at least having some basic knowledge of canonical stuff, like knowing what NGE is or whatever. Don't feel like you need to watch all this stuff because even the most hardcore brain dead otaku hasn't seen everything or even everything that's popular or considered a classic.
The point of watching stuff is to relax and have fun. If you are not doing that then you are doing it wrong.
I'm watching Sonny Boy. It's great so far, getting Masaaki Yuasa vibes
The currently airing Kankin Kuiki Level X - half length episodes, suspense and horror with a side character I really like
As of yesterday, I started watching Yuyushiki. It's a really nice CGDCT type of show, and I like it. However, I'm confused how it's pronounced. In the short breaks in the middle of it, they always say it, but they don't say the i, that comes after the sh ("Yuyushki"). Maybe I'm just overhearing it, but this always confuses me.
>>59
In 東京弁 (Tokyo dialect) it's pretty common to drop the final vovel of a word so yuyushiki can quickly become yuyushk. As for when it's shki instead of shiki, し (shi) often becomes Sh when there's a hard sound like tsu 質問 or ki 四季 after, but I don't think there's a hard rule for it.
Are you enjoying the show? I just finished all the Non Non Biyori seasons (cute and relaxing rural life show) and started Gakkou Gurashi.
>>60
I finished Gakku Gurashi. Very fun slice of life show.
Just download it and enjoy the show. If you must know what it's about, there's a few cute girls living at school as part of club activities. I'd actually recommend you don't know more than that, makes it more exciting. ☆（ゝω・）
>>60
Thanks for the explanation. Yes, I really like the show. I'm at 10 out 12 episodes right now and will probably finish the show this evening. In particular the fact that there are virtually no male characters (except for the god of blessing), is weirdly comforting, however as a minor nitpick, I didn't understand the scene where the girls tried to make their teacher cry, it just seemed out out character and unfitting. but maybe
I’m about halfway through Kamichu. It’s a sweet little show all but spoilt by poor pacing and one or two bad episodes, like the one where the entire episode is just Yurie lying around in bed. There is a real warmth to the characters and the retro visual aesthetic is pretty. The core message is positive but not hamfisted.

Yesterweek I have started watching Clannad. I can't say much about it yet. Nagisa is cute though. I have had the game laying around as a pirated executable and as a Steam game for quite a while now, but never bothered playing, so I'm watching the Anime TV-series to check if the game is worth the 50 hours it's long, according to VNDB.

Nadesico isn't better than some of the better Gundam series but it sure is a lot better than Evangeshition.

Please all of you are wrong! LOTGH is anime's Evangellion. I wish Gundam died and it lived!
Patlabor or death.

LOTGH is bullshit. The battles don't make any sense.

Star Wars is better than LOTGH. I hate to say it but it’s true.

Post about something that you want to watch/read/play later on but too busy to right now.
I want to watch Mushoku Tensei: Jobless Reincarnation at some point. Isekai fantasy, lewd and well drawn, and pretty fun to boot. Watched 3 episodes so far.
Kaiba by Masaaki Yuasa - I loved all his yojouhan/tatami galaxy stuff, and this seems similarly artsy
I've been meaning to watch Skull Man, Sunday Without God, Heybot, and Monkey Typhoon when I get the chance.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mind_Game_(film)
Also everything by that studio that made Yosuga no Sora anime.
Visual novels:
Anime:
there's so many
if I had to pick one from each category, I'd like to watch ojamajo doremi, read one piece, and play sakura no uta.
>>7
you should absolutely watch Doremi, it's great
it definitely is something you should do over a while though
like, putting one or two episodes on a day would get you through it at a reasonable pace, it's kinda rough to marathon (I tried, humans were not meant to take in that much Doremi in a day)
