>>284829621Keroro is like Jashin-chan in the sense that it lost all it's initial edge as the manga went on thanks in part to the anime adaptation, only difference is that instead of losing the darker elements and most of the gore like Jashin did, it lost bare tits
Chapter 53Previously, Shima got caught up in the affairs of Kokubun and his lover, the young hostess Xiaolan, when it started to effect business after getting on the wrongside of a Solar Electric executive named Miyaji. It turned out that Chen, another Hatsushiba employee, found out that Miyaji had been paying Xiaolan to spy on Hatsushiba and leak company secrets to him. Kokubun, pissed, confronted her and decided to end things but a distraught Xiaolan threw herself overboard from the boat that they were on and Kokubun dived in to save her. After that, they seemed to realize how much they loved one another but there was still unfinished business. Kokubun went to see Miyaji, a former kendo champion, in order to settle things man-to-man. With kendo swords, the two had a duel which Kokubun won and seemed to close the book on everything.There were other things too such as the death and possible suicide of the owner of a manufacturing group when it was decided that Hatsushiba would be cutting them off. Shima also paid a visit to Nami and Nancy in New York as Nami had given birth; there he met his grandson, Kotaro. And there seemed to be more relationship trouble as an employee named Shigeta met his fiance Kaori for a date. Kaori was wanting him to come back to Japan as she was tired of waiting for him, but during their date Shigeta spied Chen and thought something was odd so followed him which caused Kaori to decide to leave him as it seemed as if he was putting business over her.
We're so Hatsushiback

It's Christmas. Let's talk about Amagami, that is celebrating the 15th anniversary of the anime this year.
>>284825623If I remember correctly around the time Seiren aired they said Amagami took place around 1993 and Seiren was around 10 years later in 2003 which is why Ikuo is in high school and tech was a bit more advanced.
>>284718092Are you me? I started recently too, and only finished SS+ on Christmas Day. I've had an eye on this series for a while, but it wasn't until this December I decided to actually go at it.Watching the picture dramas and OVAs currently still.
>>284824565Oh no!
>>284824230Kek
>>284824230Funny, because I've just been slopping her and I've subconsciously selected crossed legs.
Do Reze and DDD deserve to be in the top 10 films of 2025?
TIL: there is a dandadan movie
>>284829186What shitty website is this? Fuck off op

>>284821475Thanks for this thread, If I forgot to rewatch this during this year I would have never forgiven myself
>fulfills his dream of being a famous hero, literally even little kids knows about him>fulfilling job as a teacher at the most well-known school in the country>still does heroics using his super-suitwhy did people hate the ending again?
>>284827839We're more or less saying the same things here, although "phased out" was the wrong word for me to use. Adopting a mentorship role, maybe? Dunno.Either way there's no scenario where he'd be out for eight years like Deku was; he'd still be heavily involved with superheroes whether it's in a commanding role or having dealt with losing a limb and getting back into action after some time to recovery.
>>284827963>Either way there's no scenario where he'd be out for eight years like Deku wasYeah, it really boils down to EIGHT FUCKING YEARS problem. Which by itself is just one last symptom of Hori's main problem - complete lack of sense of scale and pacing. I honestly believe that basically every criticism that people throw against MHA can be perfectly explained by that. The manga has, without exaggeration, a completely bipolar approach to it's narrative. I could go on a rant and elaborate, but even if we focused on Deku's ending, all complaints about it basically disappear if you don't put a timeskip before giving him the suit, or at least give Deku The Teacher some spotlight before throwing in the suit.
>>284815846Bodycount?
>>284810919courage is fighting villains at a disadvantage.coward Deku runs and hides like a pussy if he isn't handed for free a Quirk or a Suit that's better than all the villain's quirks and all the other hero's quirk.He's not brave. Men are brave.
>>284829573>if he isn't handed for free a QuirkHow about seven of them at once, AND he can use them better than the original owners (but not really)Deku storyline is completely schizophrenic, he's both overpowered to all fuck but at the same time has weird limits that end up not mattering in the slightest anyway (oh he can't go 100% cuz it will break him, but uuuh he can fight at that level anyway because seven quirks).
Happy Christmas Eve! It's Aru's Birthday!
>>284823534It was a necessary evil. Bocchi would not of made new friends if she broke the friendship!
>>284826517I don't really think that's true, they were going to different schools, so Bocchi was already forced to interact with new poeple to at least some degree. Kai could have just seen her once a month or something and been there to offer her encouragement.Or at the very least not pretended that she didn't exist at karaoke, that was just mean. Was a >Bocchi, it's good to see you, I'm glad you're making friends, keep it up!really going to stop bocc from making more friends?
>>284826656Kai-san is not very smart!
>>284828124I just wish she saw the error in her ways when she saw how hurt Bocchi was and how hurt she was herself!
Kemono no Souja Eren is like the halfway point between 12 Kingdoms and Les Miserables anime. Its like both. But 12 Kingdoms and Les Miserables aren't very much alike. Anyone else agree?
No, that entire analogy is silly. I did enjoy the show though.
The parts of this early on that are like a kodomo anime are my favorite kodomo anime.
No, you lost me
can we have an opt thread? post them
>>284824152She has probably the most unique conventionally attractive female design he has ever done. She feels inspired by Eto visually, maybe it's his way of apology to Eto fans.
>>284825260>Her latest manga is fairly degenerateI remember that one, read the first chapters (dunno now but translation was very slow) it just seemed the equivalent of a sports Manga with more erotic setting but where nothing erotic really happens and they just dance.>>284827557and that's why I won't read it until is finished....and even then, it depends on how it finishes.
When one character completely mogs the rest of the cast so much it's not even a question
>>284828661>tall girl>5'8I mean I guess she is kind of tall. This isn't like some Sailor Jupiter shit where's she's only 5'6. Japan is hobbits.
>>284827944She's such a pussy-magnet

>been giving a try to pre-2000's anime every once in a while for years>most experiences being mediocre or negative>even in the ones that are good, I can feel that there's a "difference" between older and newer anime>try it with manga>feel zero difference in my experience of reading old manga and new manga?Why is that? Why is there only a difference in anime, but not in manga?I just read 1-Pound no Fukuin and the two versions of Hi no Tori (1956 and 1967). If you told me those were from the last ten years, I would've believed in you.
>>284821296With manga you're basically getting it directly from the mangaka with just a small group of editors and stuff.It's small scale and the way of making it hasn't really changed over the years.Anime has much more staff and the way of making it has changed a lot (which is always more complicated).The audience is also not the same.Overall anime is targeted at a wider audience.Really manga overall will always have superior quality for this reason because it's a purer form of art.
>>284821296If you don't like pre-2000s anime and you like modern slop I can only believe you are literally brainless human garbage who will never have an opinion on anything that matters or can be taken seriously. Literally soulless zoomer husk. You may now whine about "buzzwords" but they accurately describe you.
>>284828437>5 is... well, I don't know the term for that.I'd go with "action schlock". Anyway, the first things that come to mind looking at your list are irreverent girl-centric OVAs like Jungle de Ikou! and Battle Athletes (the OVA rather than the TV, and definitely not the 2021 TV). Since you put Mahoujin Guruguru (2017) on the list, I would also suggest taking a look at the 1994 series. You probably won't enjoy it so much, but it's an opportunity to directly compare two different adaptations of the same material and it might offer you some food for thought. Also, I don't have a clear reason for it, but my gut wants to suggest Irresponsible Captain Tylor.
>>284821296 (OP)You're paying more attention to the discrepancies in anime because they're more obvious to the senses. Cel vs. digital, art direction, voice acting, music choice, and so on. Manga, otoh, is harder to discern if you don't pay attention to the nuances of paneling, composition, narrative structure, etc., because the medium is less complex and has fewer immediate tells. It helps that manga are usually made by a single person give or take a few assistants too so you'll see much greater artistic variety across the board.That aside, you're giving too little credit to how manga's changed over the years. Just look at something like Glass no Kamen vs. Act-Age, they're wildly different experiences despite sharing similar premises, tropes, and themes, because they were made 40 years apart. You can absolutely tell the era most manga were made and the only time it's any harder is when you've got someone like the Tenmaku no Jaadugar mangaka who's going out of their way to emulate Tezuka or one of those nu-gekiga mangaka that's cropped up lately.
>>284829128In addition to the technology of animation changing more than the technology of manga, I think the "format" of TV anime has changed much more than mainstream manga. TV anime used to be oriented around 4+ cours shows with an episodic structure meant to hold up on multiple reruns on broadcast television. This plus the slower production pipeline of cel animation led to slower-paced shows that may end up beating around the bush as they try to fill time. The dominant format started to shift towards shorter two cours shows in the 90s and serial narratives tightened up, especially as this solidified in the 00s. It's even more pronounced now that most shows only get a single cours, which is about the same total runtime as a movie trilogy. All this has a noticeable impact on how stories are told and directed before you even get into art style, music, and the animation mediums used by a production.Meanwhile, manga publishing has been oriented on individual chapters later compiled into volumes, so the pacing of narrative manga has not changed quite as much. Even with the rise of digital publishing, a lot of manga are still planned in a way to allow for tankobon releases, which enforces the same traditional page counts and story structures.

>>284813101Is there anyone who would seriously pass up the chance to go punch Maris in the fucking face after everything they pulled?
>>284825284So because he messed up 1 time im supossed to hate his whole plan?Nigga what is this argument.
>>284822951The last page of the last chapter hits so god damn hardHe's finally with his family
>>284822080>needing to accept consequencesSure as fuck didn't apply to Mash being revived after being fucking vaporized by Goetia at the end of Part 1.
>>284822080What consequences? Failing to save her in the prologue and wanting to save her when she comes back latter are two entirely different things. This isn't some "you have to accept that she's dead and you can't save her" thing; she wasn't dead and we could have saved her.
