It was one year ago today that this pretty elf graced our screens for the first time.
sell it to me
>>285175633Someone post that happy elf wrapped in a blanket clip.
>>285175702Perfect blend of a romcom with a fantasy adventure (and fantasy romcoms are very rare in the first place). The heroine is by far the main draw.
>>285175702Check this out>>285175739The dragongirl isn't bad either
>>285175845Oh for sure, possibly the greatest dragongirl of last year.
>>285175702Kinda meh. The premise is cool, the Japan parts are cool, the fantasy parts are boring. Wasted potential, very mid slop. Fine to watch if you don't have anything else to do, but don't expect much.
>>285175845i'm sold
>>285175948Fuck off pleb
>>285176160Why won't you fuck me yourself!
>>285175702
>>285176212...why is Wridra drawn as the Shotacat?
>>285176359Guess
the isekai parts (over half the series) ruined it.
>>285176359The book is actually called "The Fishing Dragon Cat".I don't know why she's fishing, I'm probably getting this wrong.
>>285176441There was nothing wrong with the isekai partsAnd they weren't even a third of the series>>285176473Fishing for shota's, duh
>>285176473Fishing cat is a real cat breed from SEA that loves to swim and dive for fish.
>>285175633Okay. When the hell is the second time?!
>>285175702tourism commercial
>>285176547But this cat looks nothing like Wridra.
>>285176758This makes zero sense to anyone who has actually watched it. What is being advertised, exactly?>Come to Japan to... sit in small apartments!Or even better:>Come to Japan to... eat French food!If there's anything advertised in this show, it's the one small town in Aoyama whose name I don't remember. But that's just the last three (or was it two?) episodes. Here's a real story. I've seen butthurt Koreans bash this show because it was showing that "Japan is great", and I know it was real Koreans because they were talking in Korean and didn't realise foreigners were reading. So any time someone brings up the "tourism commercial", send them back to eat kimchi and rage against foids.
>>285176846>the one small town in AoyamaHirosaki
>>285176547Interesting, so like a Turkish Van?
>>285176977Japan is heaven...
>>285175633Damn, time flies. Feels like I was only watching it yesterday with /a/.
>>285177529
>>285177529I can almost physically feel how much worse /a/ became in just one year's span by comparing those threads to the ones we have now. And it will only keep getting worse.
>>285177920You're always free to go back to your preferred commnity on reddit
>>285175633Elf of the year.
>>285177967Don't worry, I probably will, though definitely not to reddit. But will you be happy? /a/ already stands half-empty, and it's only going to get worse. Will you be satisfied when the only people you're left to talk to are yourself, bots and severe mental sufferers who are rejected everywhere else?
>>285175739>meta "humour"D R O P P E D
>>285178195There's frankly very little of it unfortunately.
>>285177297This is the last place where I expected to see a Nyaight of the Living Cat referenced
>>285178722Why? It's a good show.
>>285179061It's not exactly targeted at the same audience
>>285175722I'll do you one better:
>>285176212
S2 when?
>>285177297No, it's a wildcat while the turkish van is a housecat
>>285175888What were the others?
>>285184093I don't actually recall many new ones, but there were some prominent comebacks.
>>285184865Comebacks don't count.
>>285184093
>>285175633I liked it but the Japan parts were kind of boring.
>>285176977>>the one small town in Aoyama>Hirosaki>As of 1 February 2023, the city had an estimated population of 163,639 in 71,044 householdsSeems pretty small
>>285185218Not sure if this is meant sarcastically. 160k is pretty small for Japan and in general in highly urbanised countries.
>>285185133so damn flatno sex appeal whatsoever
>>285175845>The dragongirl isn't bad eitherused goods with kidsalcoholic as well
>>285184093Stella's show was airing concurrently with Tokyo Elf.
>>285176977>>285176846I kinda wish they went to Aomori City, it's a mecca for Jomon stuff and Jomon stuff is so cool.
>>285185529Damn, almost forgot about her
>>285185439>used goods with kidsThen it's a good thing I'm just gonna goon>alcoholic as wellBased!?
>tfw I just noticed I wrote Aoyama instead of AomoriWelp, time to sudoku, I mean shikoku.
>>285185885forest, mountain - practically the same shit
>>285185885
>>285185164>I liked the show>except for the main premise and 75% of the contentMake this make sense to me.
>>285186028>FeMC gets shiny new equipment and evolves her pokemons>season ends, never gets to use itHate it when that happens
>>285185382So damn feetSex appeal whatsoever
>>285186042>Make this make sense to me.Category: Phrases and collocations originating from Reddit.
>>285186544You seem to know a lot about reddit, are you sure you donät come from there?
>>285178009She kinda lucked out by appearing in the only year when Frieren wasn't airing
>>285175633Here's hoping for her return next year.
>>285186949>2026: Frieren (the year has only started but come on)>2025: Marie>2024: Frieren>2023: Frieren>2022: Sui>2021: SylphyWere there any prominent elf shows in 2020? I frankly can't recall any.
>>285187226Complete Emilia loss.
>>285175633And it was a few weeks less than a year ago today that I dropped this shit. I wanted the cute elf exploring Japan, some reverse-isekai stuff, not generic fantasy bullshit.
>>285187226>2024: Frieren*Rosalinde
>>285187268Oh yeah, I guess Emilia can take 2020. I honestly forgot her show was airing that year.>>285187305Call me when she gets an anime.
>>285187302The cute elf got to explore Japan and the fantasy part was refreshingly non-generic, shotposter-kun.
>>285187268What it actually is is a total Marcy loss lol
>>285187302Japan just isn't that interesting. Sakura, going grocery shopping, eating curry, getting a library card, going on a shinkansen, onsen trip--well I guess meeting the grandad was interesting.
>>2851873052015 really was peak anime. We've since regressed from perfect elf...
>>285187480/co/mblr is over there
>>2851872262022 was Ariane's year.
>>285185382
>>285187480While I agree, I enjoyed the elf's cute reactions to this stuff.
>>285187726Marie was the best part and her relationship with Kazuhiho was cute.
>>285175633I have knife-ear fever
>>285187549While the original Pricone came out in 2015, the anime only aired in 2020.>>285187645I'm aware. I just think that Sui is a much more fun character.
>>285187726The whole show is basically cuteness porn. Is there a Japanese name for it? No, CGDCT is not it.
>>285175633>>285175702>one of the only isekai shows that ACTUALLY uses the premise of multiple worldswhy do other isekai's exist when they never do anything with that shit?
>>28518791699% of isekai involves rebirth, meaning you can't go back and forth willy-nilly.
>>285188007yeah that's exactly the issue. Number 1: They always use a fantasy world never any other world, you know despite the insane potential of a completely different worldNumber 2: The characters never even travel between worlds except at the very start and it's just a single character. If you're gonna call yourself an isekai atleast do more with the concept. I guess it's all just so people can self insert and imagine themselves being whisked away to a fantasy world where they can indulge in a simple life rather than the modern world, but it's narratively so basic
>>285187460She tried to compete with THE anime girl. Vae victis.
>>285188069You have Gate, Inuyasha, and arguably Outbreak Company.
>>285188143hence why I said one of the only
>>285188069>Number 1: They always use a fantasy world never any other world, you know despite the insane potential of a completely different worldI'm the Evil Lord of an Intergalactic Empire aired last Spring and it was a sci-fi isekai.>Number 2: The characters never even travel between worlds except at the very start and it's just a single character. Tales of the Wedding Rings only finished airing a few weeks ago, and it had quite a bit of travelling between worlds, although mostly in its first season.Most of isekai is slop, so you have to look for diamonds in the rough, but it doesn't mean they don't exist. Actually, most of anime in general is slop, always has been.
>>285187840same
>>285187881But this show was CGDCT...
>>2851872262025 was Amelia and it's not even close.
>>285188472I don't recognise any of these bitches except Marie and Wridra.
>>285188738Nice design, but she wasn't involved much in the early and late episodes. Also I'm not sure she had any personality beyond gushing fanatically over the autistic MC.
>>285188786You should've at least recognised the redhead musclegirl, she was in the anime for all of ten seconds.
>>285189137So many great designs so underutilised
>>285188738Imouto > Amelia
>>285189401Season 2 soon, brother.
>>285175845its an ecchi???
>>285184865>>285185133>>285185382>>285185529Wtf is all this reptile talk in muh elf thread?!
>>285188143I feel like Outbreak Company directly inspired this anime.
>>285190067It's actually relatively chasteThis scene >>285178013 is as lewd as it ever gets
>>285188143>>285190998As I sat down to watch Outbreak Company blindly, I expected it to be a fantasy story about a band of mercenaries or adventurers, like The Black Company or The White Company.It was... not that.
>>285187916The Greatest Anime Of All Time, Solo Leveling, does that much better !
>>285185439>milfs are bad/a/ gets gayer every day
>>285191857Used goods milfs? Bad.
>>285188143Saving 80k gold and Otherside Picnic too.
>>285191857/a/ is a loli stronghold.
>>285191678It does have an elf.
>>285191678>>285192183that was probably my favorite isekai of all time. I love the bratty princess
>>285188472Does this show pull a Saki and forget it has male characters?
>>285192219I couldn't get over its being a parody. A parody that actively satirised its own audience at that, meaning myself. I didn't like Kagejitsu for the same reason.
>>285192274No, not at all. The show ends before most of these girls are even introduced. Most of the characters in S1 are male.
>in my dreamdropped
>>285192758What seems to be the issue?
>>285192274The males are villains
>>285190703Dragons are not reptiles, they're warm-blooded sauropsids like birds and dinosaurs.
>>285193142birds are cladistically reptiles. The closest modern nonavian species to birds is actually the crocodile. Are crocodiles not reptiles?
>>285193234If birds are reptiles, then mammals are fishes.
>>285193419I mean really no matter how you want to do it it's splitting hairs. The concept of dragons is based on mythological interpretations of dinosaur bones, and they obviously don't have feathers unlike what we know now. I don't think anyone in their mind would call a t rex a bird and if not that then it would default to reptile, which is also true.
bros....
>>285175702japanese cooking GOOD!
>>285193419they both have eggs and swim right?
>>285193502Dead bedroom even before their first kiss
>>285193485>The concept of dragons is based on mythological interpretations of dinosaur bonesThis is a very contentious and unscientific statement that cannot be proven.>and they obviously don't have feathers unlike what we know nowAnd this is straight up wrong for god knows how many interpretation of the dragon. By the way. What we DO know is that the Japanese dragon, "ryu", is definitely not a reptile and not even a tetrapod, but a fish. We know that because it's a character borrowed from China, and the Chinese classics unambiguously state that dragons live in the sea and evolve from fishes.>>285193601Yeah. And also, you're a tunicate. Live with this knowledge now.
>>285193885I was obviously speaking of the classic european dragons, which are the basis for pretty much any and all dragon girls. They don't have feathers in like 99.9% of interpretations. The only version I can think of that does have feathers is the red dragon in dungeon meshi after being combined with falin, but even there the original red dragon only has scales. >This is a very contentious and unscientific statement that cannot be proven.I assumed that's where you got your assumption that they would be in the same class as dinosaurs since they would obviously be extremely similar in that case. Besides, where else would people come up with the concept of dragons that almost exactly matches the image of dinosaurs but with wings?
>>285193502
>>285194001>Besides, where else would people come up with the concept of dragons that almost exactly matches the image of dinosaurs but with wings?You have that backwards. They found large bones and thought they were dragons, giants, or other mythical creatures.
>>285194190yes I'm saying they developed the concept of dragons from the bones of dinosaurs and because of that they look similar
>>285194001>They don't have feathers in like 99.9% of interpretations.It's obvious you're just looking at contemporary interpretations. Historical depictions had feathers in many cases, and the further back you go, the more common they are. I don't think the ancient Greeks ever drew dragons with leathery wings.>I assumed that's where you got your assumption that they would be in the same class as dinosaursNo. it was because dinosaurs (and birds) are warm-blooded.>Besides, where else would people come up with the concept of dragons that almost exactly matches the image of dinosaurs but with wings?It's a XXth century invention that was backwardly informed by the knowledge of dinosaurs. Look at actual medieval depictions of dragons, they look nothing like a dinosaur.
>>285194190They didn't think dragons were huge, but you're correct that they usually attributed these bones to giants.
>>285194317I feel like that makes it make even more sense. Bones are rarely in the correct orientation. Also you're really making this concept of dragons super vague. Sure there were a lot of interpretations of them historically, but modern synthesis of the european dragon pretty clearly has no feathers. Especially when we're talking about anime dragons or in this case anime dragon girls, which really don't have feathers. Either way this all an aside from the original issue. Dragons ARE by modern phylogenetic definition reptiles, just like birds are, and to a lay man I doubt anyone would call a featherless scaley dragon a bird.
>>285193555So it's basically Tondemo Skill with an elf waifu?
>>285194317But medievals still thought elves were cute anime girls right?
>>285194455Depends on the country and the time period but yeah, generally that was the prevailing view. "Elf-like" was a descriptor for particularly beautiful women in Old English.
>>285194423Not a single bit
>>285193619I mean, they aren't even an item at this point, she's just inviting him to travel between worlds.
>>285192343grow a pair
>>285175633S2 when?
>>285175633Cute pairing
>>285197641Jesus Christ, how qt
>>285193485You literally cannot find dinosaur bones. You need to split rocks to see impressions of dinosaur bones. You think primitive humans split rocks?
>>285201540...They did especially in circumstances where the ground was suddenly shifted due to natural disturbance like a mud slide or glacier melting or even more commonly by simple erosion.
>>285201647What a convenience, not only did the earthquake crack the rocks the correct way to expose an entire skeleton, but also people went to investigate and were there, even though there was like 100k across the entirety of Europe.
>>285201744I don't know what to tell you. Humans have been around for 200k years or so that's a hell of a long time for things like to occur. Especially in more recent times when people DID in fact know how to dig and mine. The oldest wells even date back to 8500 BCE.
>>285201647>...They did especially in circumstances where the ground was suddenly shifted due to natural disturbance like a mud slide or glacier meltingnothing so fancy, a lot of biblical monsters are just Afrosemitic dudes digging up fossils of mammoths and whales while looking for ores or water
>>285201851This. They found megafauna bones, not dinosaur bones. Dinosaur bones are not easy to find even now when people know where to look and how to expose them. Also they're really rare. Most fossils are small sea creatures.
>>285201851Completely normal reaction to Barbie boobs
>>285187347You forgot Emilia's show, but remembered its cheap rip-off?
>>285201879Apparently dinosaur bones were extremely common in ancient China (they actually still are, but only in places where Han people historically never lived... hmm...), but they called them "dragon bones", pulverised and ate them all to get dicks as large as a dragon.>China...
>>285202256Emilia a shit and always will be, I follow the based and subarupilled path, I cleave through emiliafags....I am....the honoured one.
>>285187699I PREFER WATER
>>285194418There are hairless cats, why not featherless birds
>>285201744Not a coincidence, a miracle. God was revealing the existence of the majestic creatures to the Euro peoples
>>285202256Nihon Elf has almost nothing in common with Re:Zero.
>>285188007That's not so much an issue as the fact that there are no elements of the original world being used in the story. Zero no Tsukaima is great because it also involves the use of equipment coming from Earth.
>>285202712Feathers are a defining characteristic of birds, although I frankly don't see why flightless birds can't be featherless.
>>285202836There's use of Earth technology in the source material, though the anime never even got close to that point.
>>285202733He should've revealed the existence of elves to us instead.
>>285202955I wasn't referring to Elf here, but to isekai in general.
>>285178195It's not meta, it's justified by virtue of her watching kids' anime to learn Japanese.
>>285203182Meta doesn't have to involve fourth wall breaking. As long as a fictional medium mentions itself, it's meta.
>>285187023This is a garden gnome.
>>285192758Do you also hate Lovecraft?
>>285177439I'm sure your town is also going to look nice beneath ten million Instagram filters
>>285203304No, THIS is a garden gnome.
>>285203274I don't really acquiesce with that sentiment. Is a book mentioning the existence of books meta?
>>285203472No. A crime novel saying "it's just like in crime novels" is as meta as can be.
>>285203438What a cool looking douchebagIt's a pity that Japan hates gnomes
>>285203618Say what?
>>285203738DM is about as unjapanese as isekai can get
>>285204137It's not isekai...
>>285204422It's still native isekai
>>285188738>Amelia>not AtouYou all need to grow a taste.
>>285202712Acktchyuallyi there are no hairless cats. They all have extremely short velvety fur that you must have noticed if you have ever played with them. It's like soft stubble.
>>285204600>evil>badly drawn>stuck in a bad shownah
>>285204627I'm going to double down and straight up call you /plebbit/
>>285204611
>>285204645You're quite obsessed with reddit, you sure you don't come from there?
>>285204550It's not isekai in any way, shape or form, native or not. It doesn't have any isekai tropes that it doesn't share with generic Western high fantasy. No adventure guilds, no ranks, no stat screens, no Demon King, no goddess, no nothing. If it was published in English with no anime art, you wouldn't be able to tell it apart from D&D slop.
>>285204550Was Crest of the Stars native isekai?
>>285204903No, it's timeskip/far future scifi with some silly assumptions about hyperspace travel and uniquely autistic approach to language.
>>285204903It doesn't have a separate world, ergo it doesn't fulfil even the most basic prerequisite for an isekai.
>>285205060It does have an elf though.
>>285205073Abriels are gene-edited humans like rest of the Abh, but the chose to add the ears.
>>285202256>emilia in a corpse baglol
>>285205084It's a regular zipper bag, a reference to Outbreak Company.
>>285205073It has an elf in, ostensibly, our own world. Isekai means "different world", not "world with elves"
>>285203738Jesus Christ meshit designs are ugly
>>285202769Yeah sure, except for the entire design of the FeMC
>>285205375This is false. Here you can see a sketch of Mariabelle drawn by the author himself. Does she resemble Emilia, even a little bit?
elven bitches
>>285204902>Transportation PuristFun fact: Isekai Ojisan was translated in my language as "Uncle's Reincarnation" because the fucktards translating it thought that "isekai" means "reincarnation"
>>285192758What if I told you that this story has zero dreams? The MC is physically unable to dream. Makes me wonder how he lives without getting severe brain damage and eventual cerebral haemorrhage and death.
>>285203148Then it's even more bizarre because use of Earth technology is possibly the single most common trope in isekai. Be that literal Earth technology taken to the other world or the ability to replicate Earth technology and introduce it to the other world to solve their problems. Crop rotation is also an Earth technology, by the way.
>>285209821She's definitely very cute
>>285206007
>>285209845The character designer for the show said in an interview that the director asked him to make Mariabelle as cute as humanly possible. I think he succeeded.
>>285205802Her eyes aren't purple...
>>285210378They are. The color is 705e92, which is a "muted purple or violet".
>>285210541Anyway, I prefer the vibrant purple from the cartoon. It's a really cool color and one of my favorite things about her.
>>285204600Atou was a sludge, not an elf.
>>285210644Not this shit again...
>>285203371wat
>>285210719The premise of the show is extremely similar to a famous Lovecraft novel. The pseudo Middle-Eastern setting is also weirdly close to Lovecraft's own tastes in fantasy.
>>285213861Is it? Basically the protagonist becomes an adventurer in his sleep, and that's where the similarity ends
>>285210667I can AI too
>>285214163Yes. This is what a "premise" means.
>>285214163They also went to explore a pyramid, which happens in several Lovecraft stories, and fought an eldritch entity in one of the episodes.
>>285214497>fought an eldritch entityYou sure you didn't dream that one up?
>>285203182You got it backwards. She's learning Japanese in order to watch anime. Basically, the elf is a weeb.
>>285214643I am sure. I'm talking about the tentacle worm that they stole the magic jewel from.
>>285215028You mean RETURNED the magic jewel to? Also I thought it was a Moomins reference if anything.
>>285215226>Moomins referenceCome again?
Check out the new volume cover.
>>285215523>_ewWhat could it possibly be...
>>285201851Why would a woman have that reaction upon seeing another woman naked?
>>285215593It wasn't because of the nakedness. It was her massive dragon sized chest muscles rippling.
>>285215279How familiar are you with the Moomins? The book called "Magician's Hat" is about a wizard looking for a magic jewel that was stolen from him. In the end, the main characters give the jewel back to him and he goes back to the Moon.
>>285215590The lower left corner of the first letter is clearly visible, shitposter-kun.
>>285215593Breast envy
>>285215842Yeah, somehow I don't think that a giant tentacle sandworm was meant to be a reference to a Swedish alien wizard.
>>285215523What's the point of wearing a hat concealing your ears when you have ELF printed on it?
>>285216191Moomins are Finnish
>>285216378Fingols don't want you to know that the books were written by a Swede, in Swedish, and published in Sweden before Finland
>>285216332Don't look at her handbag
>>285216191Who knows? the Japanese obsession with the Moomins is well-known.
>>285216730Not everything has to be a reference
>>285216332https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Post-irony
>>285215523Is there already enough manga for a second season?
>>285217296Sure, they just need to do a little bit of anime slice-of-life filler.I'm sure the author can provide some storyboards.
>>285215593She's shocked that the dragon has no nipples.
>>285218430>fillerMeh. Most of the adventures in Japan already felt like filler.
>>285217296Looks like the anime mostly covered volumes 1-3 and 12 is about to come out.
>>285218900Oh no. The anime covered everything up to vol. 8
>>285214643No, Kazuhiho dreamed that one up
>>285218753Neither does she.
>>285218753Why would a reptile have nipples?
>>285219759>>285219925Does that mean that elves are reptiles?
>>285220314No, they're elvals. The boobs contain mana bladders, the nipples are useless.
>>285220588Not entirely useless, they're sensitive and visually pleasing. Not having them is barbie doll anatomy and lacking.
>>285187023Dangerous elfomorph escaped containment!SHUT DOWN EVERYTHING!
>>285220748Well then, looks like you'll have to choose between nipples and hitting the wall at 30.
>>285219062>Take down the master of the ancient labyrinth! The undying floor master awaits deep within the ancient labyrinth. The raid on the labyrinth has been full of turmoil, and a third faction makes its appearance. It seems someone is interested in Mariabelle... Meanwhile in Japan, Wridra returns for a visit for the first time in quite a while. Wridra and Marie decide to wear kimono and tour Japanese gardensVolume 4 summary. Why are you lying?
>>285175633Polygamy route with the dark elf
>>285222816That ain't happening, she has her own human, as much of an asshole he turned into.
>>285222816
>>285224892>-kunShe sure picked up honorifics quickly, and remembers to use them even when flustered.
>>285222816She is a fucking schizo and already mindraped her future husband
>>285224947Honorifics are the first thing weebs always pick up

>>285222816This dark elf looks like she goes commando
>>285216378They are Finland Swedish to be precise. Their author was a Finland Swede living in a traditional Finland Swedish area and wrote her books in the local native language known as Swedish.
>>285228178>local native language known as Swedish
>>285215028>>285215226Why did the worm wait all those centuries, maybe more, before showing up to claim his jewel at the exact same moment when Kazuhiho gets it from the bandits? Seems awfully convenient.
>>285227051All elves go commando.
>>285228180Eve a qt
>>285228178Welcome to Finland. Even though the Swedes only make up 5% of the population, whenever you find someone noteworthy, it's always some guy called Sven Svensonmann.
>>285223339He has always been a piece of shit and tried to NTR Marie on two separate occasions.>>285224976She was herself mindraped first.
>>285176441The other half was just the elf eating bland Jap food at home, there wasn't even any romance since the MC is a herbivore cuck master.
>>285229123>there wasn't even any romancewut
>>285228248Why do newfags always expect GRRM levels of plot intricacy from unpretentious escapist entertainment? Seems awfully inconvenient for them.
>>285228178>>285228910And all the hockey players are Japanese, you can tell from the names, always something like Aho Suikoden
>>285229388Uralic and Japonic languages are related
>>285229588>Japonic languages are related>Possible genetic relationships with many other language families have been proposed, most systematically with Koreanic, but no genetic relationship has been conclusively demonstrated.
>>285229452
>>285229664Stop drinking westoid koolaid
>>285229847dude, japanese wasn't even linekd with uralic, but with altaic, and there is no actually accepted evidence for that, it's at best a less likely hypothesis.Uralic, in turn, is not related to altaic at all, that's pretty much agreed upon as discredited old hypothesis.>westoid koolaidPlease don't tell me you take all soviet-era "science" seriously without vetting (enjoy your lysenkos, michurins and political crap)
>>285229123Dis nigga is cruisin for a bruisin
>>285229847>germanyholy kek
>>285230087>that's pretty much agreed upon (((((agreed upon)))))>enjoy your lysenkos, michurins and political crapEnjoy your gender as a social construct, redditor
>>285230583>both a chud strain and a tankie strainWhere are you from even? I must know.
>>285230733Kazakhstan. Problem?
>>285230806Not really, but well, some stuff figures with eastern block background. Czech here, btw.
>>285230882Actually 21st century genetics has rehabilitated a lot of Lysenko's claims
>>285230882It has nothing to do with the eastern block, it's a turkic weeb who wants to be related to nips, many such cases.
>>285230907yarovize yourself
>>285231011Let's just ignore how many Turkic and Japanese myths are nearly the same, almost as if they come from the same source>>285231027I guarantee that your country uses vernalization
>>285231011People probably did that before they even knew much about japan though the sentiments tend to be like that, vaguely.More modern equivalent with the antique/medieval need to "trace" your ancestry to Troy. I vaguely recall from one very old popsci book about Etruscans (from before 89) that at a time, these extinct guys with unknown language were very cool so everybody tried to prove they were in HIS language family.
>>285231095Yeah humanity. Kind of weird humanity keeps making similar stories. Must be because of the Great Turkish Ancient Emprire.
>>285231143Kinda weird that they keep making similar words as well, but somehow only in Japan and Turkic languages, huh
>>285231095Wolf Amaterasu is a videogame character, retard.
>>285231214anime is called literally the same word in both, FFS!
>>285231282You don't say?
>>285231095>I guarantee that your country uses vernalizationnot quite the same as lysenko ideas
>>285231315Ooh mama. She needs more love.
>>285231095There are myths analogous to the Tower of Babel everywhere in the world from Arizona to Nepal. It's not an uncommon thing at all.
>>285230907>>285231214This makes me think you may have a case of being insufficiently careful about confirmation bias and broken clocks being sometimes correct, anyway.The Lysenko thing may be a good "argument ad absurdum"-kinda warning to take into mind for the linguistic stuff.
>>285231472It is, quite literally, his idea, and I wasn't even talking about vernalization, but about modern epigenetics, which is just Lysenkoism lite>>285231536There were also Christian and Islamic missionaries everywhere from Arizona to Nepal who spread this story
>>285231315Why are dragongirls such footsluts?
>>285231660Imagine looking at a big booba dragon waifu and noticing the feet before all else
>>285231702She explicitly is a footslut in the source material, animeonly-kun.
>>285231610>which is just Lysenkoism liteYeah putting it like that's literally the fallacy of broken clock being right twice a day matter.It's like saying Demosthenes or who it was knew about actual particle physics. No, he just happened to put forth an concept that was randomly close.Everyone has an asshole but someone's may look like Donald Trump, which makes it the best in class and universe, sorta thing.
>>285231821This is literally the same as saying that Copernicus was a broken clock because all of the orbits he calculated were wrong and he only guessed at the correct principle
Could anyone explain how all this crap relates to elves?
>>285232049How new? /a/ threads always derail.
>>285231959I see you are a fellow ORB chad as well.
>>285231959We he didn't describe gravity effects like Kepler, sure. But he worked with empirical evidence and tried to come up with a good explanation. It was not like he was a philosopher tossing of ideas on the wall to see what sticks.Lysenko was more like the late proponents of Ptolemaic hypotheses: push your idea and when the empirical evidence doesn't work with it, suppress/handwave away your oposition.Focusing on certain evidence and not pondering that it may be be just coincidence, ignoring evidence to the contrary, and also hand-waving criticism as "west they hated it because it's ours" can push you that way too.
>>285232172>/a/ threadsMake it just "threads".
>>285232252I've seen some /e/ theads go on for literally a year with no derailment, just on topic lewds.
>>285232293Horniness is the strongest emotion, nothing can distract you from it.
>>285232049Quenya as the elvish language is related to Finnish language, anon.As you can see the soviets are stealthily trying to build up a pretense to claim that elves are their "relatives" so that they have the right to invade and steal their country and kill and replace them, like with Finland before.Everything is connected.
>>285232293>theads go on for literally a yearJesus Christ not even /an/ is that slow
>>285232342Quenya is based on Latin. Finnish was just an aesthetic influence.
>>285232474Well, the details or bogusness of the claims seldom matter, you just have to shout the nonsense more often and louder, right?
>>285221305You're confusing manga volumes with LN volumes, retard.
>>285232641The manga is irrelevant as it too is an adaptation. If they wanted to make more of the anime, there plenty of material.
>>285232958This show is explicitly adapted from the manga, in many cases panel-for-panel. LN and manga aren't the same, so this is significant. And also, there are only 10 LN volumes atm. not 12 like you claimed, so you're retarded in any case.
Itadakimasu karahajimaru sutoriiii~
>>285229123While definitely a timid Japanese MC, he's still a gigachad compared to the average isekai protagonist.>not a hikki>not a NEET>good job>healthy social life>loving family
>>285233827Imagine getting whacked in the face by a watermelon.
>>285233925Most importantly>not a pervert
>>285233827So much teasing and we never got a beach episode...
>>285233950I think it's just a beach ball painted like a watermelon, a real one would've been shattered by the impact
>>285233950maybe like getting nogged with a brick wrapped in leather (bricks are way lighter than a watermelonino)>>285234200I still gooned to the onsen episode so I won't complain
>>285233925>healthy social lifeCome again?
>>285233827>dragon MILF hot unf sefxuck woulddamn, does that mean I'm into bestiality now
>>285234369The weight is irrelevant if the projectile just deforms instead of caving your face in, what matters is hardness. Watermelons are 95% water with relatively soft rind. I can imagine it breaking your nose if you're hit square in the face with it, but nothing worse than that. A brick to the face, on the other hand, will fucking kill you.
>>285234600Except you're the beast if you compare your intelligence to the draagon
>>285234632so intelligent animals are no problem?
>>285234457It's mentioned that his "friends" tease him for constantly looking so sleepy. Therefore he does have friends, which is more than many isekai protagonists can say. And also he's shown to be good friends with the qt librarian girl and her husband.
>>285234700The principal differences between animals and humans all boil down to the cognitive abilities, so an animal as intelligent as a human simply wouldn't be considered an animal. It would be "interspecies sex", not bestiality.
>>285234200There's a beach water park episode later in the story, the anime never got that far
>>285231772I've seen a picture like this of Marie as well. It might just be the illustrator's barely concealed fetish.
>>285234200Being an humble undemanding person that doesn't ask for much, I would be fine with a hardcore sex scene.
>>285235101If this is barely concealed, I don't even dare to imagine what an unconcealed one would be like
>>285233975He is a pervert, just mostly of the accidental type.First time he saw Marie was falling into the lake she was bathing in, and then there's the whole reverse isekaifying without clothes.
>>285235267Footjobs? I'm not a footfag so who knows what kind of degeneracy they're into.
>>285235364Has there EVER been a footjob in an anime? I'm not even talking about mainstream stuff, obviously, I have never seen it even in animated hentai (doujins don't count, there's a doujin for everything).
>>285235400Reviewers had one?
>>285235327Sounds like gaslighting to me, you don't have any control over destiny throwing naked foids at you, and that doesn't make you a pervert
>>285234609>relatively soft rind.no, that shit is going to concuss you if it's flying fast enough. A human toss might carry only enough energy to be tantamount to a punch because we are WEAK
>>285235437Which episode?
>>285235510A simple toss, maybe. Overhead swing with some back put into it? Spinal injury is likely.
>>285235510A ball is more likely to give you a concussion with all other things being equal. The fracturing of the rind consumes most of the watermelon's kinetic energy, making the impact force much weaker. You can get cut by the broken rind, by the way, but that's still preferable.
>>285235638>The fracturing of the rind consumes most of the watermelon's kinetic energyokay a watermelon physicist has arrived so I give upHOW DERISHAS!
>>285235101The illustrator doesn't pick and choose what to draw, he's commissioned by the writer/editor.
>>285235400>Has there EVER been a footjob in an anime?Mato Seihei no Slave has one, but I don't know if the anime has adapted that part yet.
>>285235713
>>285235802kek
>>285235802Vacuum chambering something that's mostly water? What, is he trying to see if it boils from the inside?
>>285235736>femdomshitI'll pass.
>>285232474>Quenya is based on Latin. Finnish was just an aesthetic influence.anta, et, kul, lap/lapse, gandel/gannel, pan, rauta, ruska, si, skal/hala, snas/snat/nasta, tie, terewa, tul, tun, aurë entulva, Valar, Ilmarils/Silmarils, etc.
>>285235930Embarrassing. "Silmaril" is based on the Anglo-Saxon word for jewel. I'm sure most of those others are as well.
>>285235914He's trying to induce the power of 4.20 niggawatt
>>285235713HAU PURESHUS!
Cute show
>>285232342But anon, the soviets ARE elves.
>>285236261DONNAMENU GAMATTERUNO KA NA?
>>285236556The cutest!
>>285236625Does Marie count as a gyaru is she walks around wearing a seifuku?
>>285237995I wonder if she prefers the adult Kazuhiho or the shota.
>>285215028Technically, Shirley is 100% an eldritch entity, only she looks like a cute anime girl (a surprisingly common story in anime, really). And, if you think about it, Wridra is one as well. A dragon so ancient and powerful that gods themselves shit their pants at her, living in the ruins of a mysterious ancient civilisation that vanished. What is she if not an "eldritch entity"?
>>285238140She fell in love with the shota, not with the salaryman
>>285238465This is wrong. She's been adventuring with the shota for like 15 years while friendzoning him. But once she saw him as the Japanese bvll he really was, she instantly got super wet and speedran the relationship.
>>285238753>foids falling for older menLike clockwork
>>285238314>Shirleywho
>>285238314Nothing surprising about that. If it exists, Japan will make a cute girl out of it.
>>285239135The "Undying King" of the Ancient Labyrinth. She's a character from a bit further in the story that the anime never got to.
>>285239428>Kinguh...
>>285239428I'm not sure why you expect people to know about manga-only characters in an anime thread
>>285239586The show aired a year ago. I fully expect anyone still interested in it to have read at least the manga by this point.
>>285238753It's more like she was too autistic to address her feelings before Wridra finally gave her a proper talking to.
>>285187226Marcille should be the elf of 2024, you're only allowed to run in the premier year.
>>285175633Kazuhiro, on the couch with both the elves in his apartment: "Do you know what a good relaxation method is? Sex".What could he do to rizz both of them up?
>>285240234Katsudon
>>285187305Is this really how I learn that Emilia is an elf?I've only seen the first episode of Re:Zero but how the fuck did I miss that
>>285240234The good old ear massage never fails to get things going.
>>285240511How the fuck indeed, seeing how it's both evident in her design and spelled out loud as an important plot point.
>>285240566I might be a little retarded.
>>285240366Marie will be the one making a katsudon of Kazuhiho if he spouts shit like this.
>>285240366tfw I thought that katsudon was some weird Japanese euphemism for sex
>>285240965That's oyakodon>it stands for "mother and daughter bowl" and means exactly what you think it does
>>285240511>dropping rezero after one episodeHoly based
>>285236751Nah. She's not aware of the cultural implications and she didn't get to pick her own clothes anyway. However, we can conclude that Kazuhiro has a gyaru fetish.
If dragons were inspired by dinosaur bones, what were elves inspired by?
>>285241687Then he should be all over the dark->>285241870Jesus, this "dark elf" has lighter skin than 90% of white people
>>285242151It's much more prominent in the manga.
>>285242084>If dragons were inspired by dinosaur bonesThey weren't. Stop humoring pseuds.
>>285242327>vampires are just goth elvesGetting really fed up with this shit
>>285242578This is not a vampire...
>>285242327Cute
>>285242151Don't think the gyaru's still get grotesque fake tans.
>>285240511It's ok. Emilia is so boring I'm not surprised you didn't look at her.
>>285244931They never really did. Those with the fake tans are actually "ganguro", a really old and extinct subculture of gyaru. They're always the first search results when you look up gyaru because they look so grotesque. Meanwhile, the vast majority of gyaru value pale skin because that's what the men prefer.
>>285242084Neanderthals. Seriously. As the earliest humans began to spread out, they encountered people that were extremely similar to them, but not quite. Neanderthals were also more advanced at the time, with a wider variety of tools and, as some evidence suggests, probably even a form of writing. They also matured much slower compared to humans and were far less numerous. And autistic from a human perspective, as the part of their brain in charge of social interactions was stunted by human standards. Now, they're obviously pretty ugly to us, but the early humans didn't seem to mind and interbred with them a lot, which was a major factor in their eventual extinction. And while they were all eventually assimilated into humanity, they kept on living in the shared cultural memory as a nearly human race living beyind the bounds of the human civilisation. "Elf" is just a Northern European expression of that ancient idea, but there are others.
>>285236573Perfect proof? It seems the bastards are already starting.>They are out brothers! We are one people!>Which means they have to do what we say so we have to genocide them now...
>>285245354Neanderthals were more like dwarves, short and stocky with big bones
>>285245644Are you aware that dwarves and elves were literally the same thing in the original folklore?
>>285245644the world is still cro-magnon vs neanderthals technically
>>285245847No it's not. Everybody except for Africans are basically cro-magnon/neanderthal mules (with some Denisovan ancestry as well in Asia), and even most Africans have a little bit of neanderthal ancestry now due to all the mixing with non-Africans.
>>285245809Only dark elves, not light elves. Also the dwarves weren't short. And the giants weren't gigantic. Except when on a couple of occasions they were. It's a fucking mess.
