Why absurd humor is so rare in the industry as of late? This shit is gold.
>>283278598This has been on my backlog to actually rewatch. I seem to barely remember anything from 2009 and my tastes have changed since then.
>>283278598hekkopo jiken anime isn't something you can just churn out like a factory production line, it requires writers and a showrunner with genuine wit, imagination, and improv skills, but most importantly, inspirationand even then it might not turn out all that funny except to audience members with the exact same sense of humor as the composers
>>283279136
>>283278598Shaft is still that based, they just don't make as much stuff anymore.
>>283278598It's too risky for committee members. Better just animate some more shounen romcoms that go nowhere.
>>283279136>hekkopo jikenwut
>>283280485experimental quack anime
>>283280503Heppoko?
>>283278598Season 2 as garbage.
>>283280709What went wrong?
>>283280510へっぽこ実験アニメーション
>>283282499>へっぽこYeah figured. Though I wouldn't know how stuff like Detroit Metal City or Teekyu would fit into it. Not a term I'm familiar with.
I want to fuck this sexy maid.
>fraternal twin brother and sister>names switched at birth>both crossdress to attend opposite schoolsWTF
>>283282648no maid would fuck you, gaikokujin
>>283282711It's complicated.
>>283278598I remember buying the DVD and almost throwing up when I heard the dub.
>>283284561Average dub experience.
>>283278598Well, it's not that absurd if you played eroge from the 90s
>>283278804Alive is worse than the 1st season because the mangaka choose the way of a parody on current events on the TV. But ru ru ri ru is a stellar OP
>>283286391The 90s eroge imagery is made on purpose to clash with general art style for absudist purposes though.
>>283286391Specifically the 90s?
>>283282648I had a Matsurika papercut a fucking lot of years ago
>>283284561
>>283286500>it's shit on purpose tho
>>283289348Truly, dubs kill the soul.
City exists and people shit on it for its humor.
>>283288359Yeah, something bad happened after the millennium
>>283291289City unfortunately has terrible timing while MH is way more absurd and spontanoeus.
>>283278598You cant be more absurd than reality anymore.>the woman japanese prime minister welcoming emigrants
>>283291289On paper CITY should 100% be my thing but somehow it's a perfect miss.
>>283278598>Why absurd humor isLearn to speak English, you should, ESLfag.
>>283292753>you shouldNope, this site has not a single global rule about that. Cope hard.
>>283292753How is that wrong?
>>283293168I think you mean>How that is wrong?If you want to keep being an obvious ESL.>>283293070Why do people outside of English speaking countries want to interact with English speakers so much on sites made for English speakers? Do they not have similar sites in whatever your native language is?
>>283278804its only bearable if you watch 1 ep per week otherwise its really boring recently watched it
>>283293493>Why do people outside of English speaking countries want to interact with English speakersWe don't, but if /a/ is dead, imagine how dead the local boards are?
Where does Maria fit in the Holic cinematic universe?
>>283293493Same reason people keep visiting the same handful of sites. Critical mass.
>>283278598i met someone on grindr with mariya as her pfp and when i said 'do you like maria holic' they said 'what is that?'
>>283293493>want to interact with English speakersLol. For better or for worse English is chosen as a global language with the highest chance of people speaking it as a second language.I actually don't care about interacting with the few native English speakers in this site, it's the ESLs I wouldn't know their native language to communicate that I appreciate more.An English speaking site is a rule that forces people to speak english instead of having everyone type in their native gibberish. If the rule was for a native English speakers site then IP blocks would exist.tl;dr ESLs are superior, even those that have a poorer grasp of the language.
>>283298455Classic normie behavior.

>>283293168>Why is absurd humor so rare in the industry now?Would be a better way to phrase that"why is X?" = a question"why X is" = an answer/explanation
>>283299860What is she trying to say?
>>283300034she is a radical flame
>>283300141Oh she was giving her name.
GODIWISH
>>283278598i remember this anime being shit
>>283300185
>>283278598>CITY>Shikanoko>PoptepipicIt's not that rare. Being consistently good and funny is another matter but I don't remember Maria Holic being that consistent either.
>>283295469Lel
>>283278598i never did finish reading the manga.guess i better finish that up after nearly 15 years
>>283278598I can never look at Tokyo Tower the same way again.
>>283302368Don't recommend, it ends up with unsatisfying farce, and the worst thing, it looks like some proper ending was planned, but then the manga was prolonged for a few more chapters, and they are bad, especially bad those "secrets" that were foreshadowed from the start
>>283303738why are the japs so fucking bad with endings?
>>283303915Have no clue, it looked like Kanako would get a proper arc (she really became an evil Gollum near the end), but it was quickly shut down in favor of some asspull shit, that wasn't even funny
>>283295469After Maria-sama ga Miteru but before Lawful Drug.
>>283302368Anime S1 largely follows the manga.S2 skips big chunks but gets half way through the manga.I think you coud make a satisfying S3 out of the other half of the manga but Miyu-tan left us ten years ago.I read the manga and it was like dealing with your granma's dementia, it subtly loses track of what it wanted to do and just ends.

>>283303915I think it's the serialized format.
>>283304310>but Miyu-tan left us ten years ago
>>283279136>>283280485He means stuff like Excel Saga, whose anime adaptation was titled "Heppoko Jiken Animation Excel Saga" in Japan (Heppoko Jiken meaning "Experimental Quack" in Japanese going off of Wikipedia)Excelsisters...
>>283299722It isn't "a better way." There is only one correct word order here.>>283293070You are brown.>>283293168Review your ESL textbook.
>>283310056Why you are so mad though?
>>283310056>colorism out of nowhere
>>283311567Why you type like a fag?
>>283311567Nobody said anything about race
>>283309486Naruhodo.
>>283292712>On paperthen read the manga
>>283314408I should give it a try but I expect the same thing.
>>283304310Ambiguous ending or a definitive end?
>>283278598kinda surprised to see someone else remember this
>>283300531She's the same as me!
>>283317456
>>283316695No ending at all, something like "My mother in heaven I will wait for another year in this school". It could work if those foreshadowed things with rosario and Maria's grandma didn't reveal as absolute dogshit. So it has the ending of an ongoing anime and before it destroys anything that could make a satisfying story
>>283318918Well that's a shame but also it could be a lot worse.
