Yuuki stands over what was Mishiro and Riko. Battered, but unbroken. Their towels shredded; flotsam mingling with cotton in the shallows. The thick scent of the mineral baths coated her throat for every hard-won breath, the sound cutting through the soft burbling of water jets. A cold chill ran through the hot soup. It was the only thing she could feel.

She looked up to the wall beyond the two corpses. The girl in the mirror nods her head. She was the only one left in this desolate place; a thing without purpose.

A disappointing game. Had she gone insane? She hated herself.

It was the only thing she knew for real.

If you were to look into Carl's mind, at least 50% of it would be Candle Woods.

>>286240558
The other 50% is Carl getting herself off from asserting her dominance over girls like Mishiro in death games.

You know, even if they made the butch lesbian girl say this, I'd have been happier.
It's these stupid throwaway fun lines that give the work personality that the director chooses to cut.

>>286240890
Carl is a bully who likes throwing her superiority around. When she heard Mishiro played more games than her she got very mean.

imagine the slow mindbreak over mishiro's next 31 games as she continued hearing more and more people talk about the ghost-like player

>"That player has completed her next game, Ghost House."
>Mishiro drops the cup that shatters when it hits the floor breaking Riko out of her near-orgasmic state of headpat bliss. She tilts her head up but quickly averts her gaze from Mishiro. She's angry.
>"Ghost House? Ghost House you say? Ghost? For that Yuuki-san? Are management fucking with me?"

As soon as Sera Sera started playing I was out.
Trying so hard to be like yuropean expresionism about a death game but fails hard to convey the tension of the game, the shock of the deaths and to care about silver hair girl due jerking off to much on muh aesthetic mise en scene.
Fags like to felate this kind of shit as inspired by Monogatari but that work did not hide its intentions to show a big pair of tits on screen and breedable lolis (who some are not lolis) as fap material.
But this? Is hiding and failing to do so the intention to see pretty girls dying. Because the nature of those games are pretty girls dying.
But of course a npc who is programmed to behave like "I'm not like the others" do not notice. Is deserved its scores on NND to be lower than Kanokari lastest season.

What are you even talking about Anon? We're here to watch Carl kill cute girls while wearing slutty outfits.

The symbolism, artistic liberties the director is taking, the voice acting, Carl's depression, the art style, outfits, and everything else helps it stand out compared to other works with a similar theme, like "Munō na Nana". Munō na Nana wasn't even bad, but the way it was directed was generic and didn't help get people in the door.

i'm sure there's no shortage of people who managed to miss kinko's missing hand until the 4th time it was shown. but setting that aside, lately the anime has left so much up to interpretation that just because you can easily answer your questions yourself doesn't mean you can expect other people to come up with the same answers.
>>
>>286249607
From the anime alone, would you guess that Kinko's father knew that Yuki kill her? Cause I did and then LN readers told me I was wrong. The anime is destroying what is given in clear context by adding pregnant pauses and hanging silence that implies the complete fucking opposite

Webnovel and Indie hentai game is on the rise. For webnovel, the good stuff can be found on the R18 section, lots of people in there write because they want to and not because they want to get published like the one in R15 section.

I'm honestly excited for Candle Woods.
Thanks, faggots

From what I read on 5ch they mostly just hate the anime, probably cause some of them are actually big fans of the LN.
Personally I just think the anime is boring though and that's mostly a writing thing (maybe direction could help? idk)

- The illustration/art for ghost house is on another level, definitely the best one.
- Scrap Building have interesting coloring, but for some reason the anatomy and pose looks off, like it's the work of someone with good art education but not enough working experience.
- Golden bath is the most generic, but works very well for low budget anime
- Candlewood looks like it's done by animator who knows his stuff, but must cut corner a lot to make the design works in anime.

This page need to list the name of the involved key artist.

On one hand I think they're retarded for how they rate Shiboyugi, on the other they did have good enough taste to appreciate Yayoi-chan's show.

I have qualms with how they rate Kinme, Kaya and Frieren's shows.
>>
>>286254395
Isn't Kaya's rating pretty good?

>>286254413
It is, but they're adapting it pretty poorly and the animation is subpar. Same with the censorship in Kirei.

>>286254440
It's so weird how they complain about bad adaptations(they are not bad) and the very next minute they are praising a show doing a really bad job at adapting a work(but really badly).
>>
>>286254509
It's good but I've never thought it was the best thing since sliced bread like everyone else does. Maybe that's a problem for my taste.
>>
>>286254609
Well, until episode 16 or 17 I think (the last episode before the exam arc), the anime was great, it just took a nosedive after.
And S2 was essentially a joke upon itself until the most recent episode
>>
>>286254649
I think it was really good up until Sein left. It's still decent but not as good as early stuff
>>
>>286254554
I think it depends on intention. Kaya skipped a bit but went back and filled that in with subsequent episodes but then skipped a chapter and referenced the events happening in it so it's not going to be included, which is fine because I think I have an idea of what they're going to end on so it becomes more that while they're doing a good job on a clearly limited budget I can still sorely see the constraints.
Same with Shiboyugi and saving Candle Woods for last, it's a beloved important arc and ends things on a bang. I understand why they're keeping that until last, but some of the changes with Golden Bath and the way they're presenting things leaves a lot to be desired so I'd rate it worse off overall over Kaya just out of coherency and I'd rather things be skipped than skipped and changed.
I do wish both were better they're very good series.
>>
>>286253151
This. The score is fair from the pov they've done a piss poor job at conveying the original work's charm. So many scenes I want to see aren't included or get butchered. As an original work the way it's presented is immaculate.

This anime is beautifully animated and the music is great, but it's so depressing.
It's not even ryona porn like I expected, most of the deaths are off screen and artistic instead of the thrashing and screaming these things normally go for.
We don't even really see the state of the outside world, all we know is she lives in a fucking dump, wants to win 99 games, and Squid Game is so popular there are endless deathgames for cute girls to die in now.

The next death game should be separating her trash into combustibles and recyclables and throwing it away on time.

Yes. She says only parts she changed in her body are three fingers. My only explanation is that if it's not completely artificial, then it's still her body part, don't think they grew and later implanted back part of her scull.

I honestly wonder if anyone would have watched if the director hadn’t changed the tone of the series? I love death games, but they’re a shit genre. The director is definitely pretentious, but I think it worked for episode 1 and it’s still way more interesting than the manga or LN which are honestly pretty generic
>>
>>286307054
This is a stupid retarded argument that's almost as stupid as
>I wonder if anyone would care for this JRPG if localizers didn't bastardize it.
Fuck you.
>>
>>286307054
There's nothing wrong with generic. Better than the director butchering the novels.
>>
>>286307054
All I'm going to say is that the Chainsawman director was crucified for much, much less.
>>
>>286307078
I mean, unironically that HAS happened before. Some things only get popular when they’re changed, for better or worse (Ghost Stories). I don’t know, I guess I just don’t give that much of a shit about authenticity to the LN when the LN isn’t that memorable
>>
>>286307224
I've noticed. A lot of people who never had any interest in the novels or manga in the first place also feel the need to tear down and shit on the source material to jerk off the director. It sucks man, it fucking sucks. I wish you tourists could fuck off and die
>>
>>286306627
>>
>>286307287
I don’t even hate the source, I’ve just read a ton of stuff like it before. I guess if you’re never supposed to change the source, then I wish there was a pretentious death games LN that could’ve been adapted? This feels performative to me, it’s one thing to have read the LN beforehand and be unhappy with the change, but I doubt even half of you have heard of this before the anime aired
>>
>>286307054
I'm animeonly, and I love the directing style. I'd still watch it on the premise alone. Cute girls and dark or horrific themes are my weakness.
>>
>>286307054
leave aside the fact that it's an adaptation, I still think that on its own, the anime is subpar. Cute stuff isn't shown enough, too many ABSTRACT shots (I dont fucking care man ive already read my share of pretentious shit).
THIS didnt need to be 'artistic', it was supposed to be pure SCHLOCK. I wanted cute girls doing gay things dying in uncanny manners, and I wanted it to be as graphical as possible. This literally went the opposite direction, not showing shit, zooming out, flattening colors/no details camera pans like WHAT THE FUCK MAN NO ONE THINKS THIS WRITING DESERVES ANY OF THIS.
for fucks sake it's fucking DEATH GAMES, give me the good SLOP, some cute gay things and be done with it.
FUCK

Lmao, director stole "good game" from Cloudy Beach to use in his Golden Bath from temu.
>>
>>286308438
>>286307054
I've seen enough slop. I'm glad the direction decided to go in the way it did and didn't give us something generic. I don't think I would've enjoyed the anime as much as I have.

My only gripe is how much was cut from the LNs, but I suspect that most of it was the budget. Studio Deen is already making 2 other anime this season and this show is already stretching itself with all the long and low-detail shots. I bet Ueno, and his pretentious ass, would've loved to make us sit through 24 episodes of anime just like the first episode, but he couldn't so he had to cut stuff to fit 2 LN volumes into the first season.

I wish I could have seen Carl being more of the degenerate she is toward women
I wish Candle Woods was the second arc of the anime setting up things for future arcs to come
I wish I could have seen Mishiro's original past where she beats her sister half to death with her tennis racket
I wish I could have heard Chie's screams as she finds out she was voted to die
I wish I could have heard Mishiro raging out in the back seat of the car
I wish her agent would have joked at her expense, regardless of her appearance
I wish they would have shown Dangerous Lab more
I wish they could have shown Carl's nightly walk and how she was already agitated over her bad performances, the upcoming 30 and therefore very anxious when she noticed she was being stalked.
I wish the talk with Mr Kaneko had of been as it was with the takeaway being that Carl is a very autistic death game obsessed individual and she hates normalfags who are trying to ruin that
I wish they made it clearer what happened with the pills and how the sleight of hand failed her
Naked Carl
I wish they didn't spoil Mishiro's reveal early
I wish the bath house building wasn't liminal backrooms nonsense and therefore easier to understand Carl's misunderstanding
I wish the bath house group wasn't off screened and that Azuma got her moment to shine
I dearly wish they could have been clearer about how Carl fought fighting Mishiro, especially since I've seen a lot of suicidalfags think she's found a zest for life and won't continue playing death games because she wants to live. No, she would have been fine getting hit by a car, she just didn't want to die to that princess bitch
Everything about Riko. Everything. Her backstory, the fight, that she was enhanced the death, everything.
I wish they would have animated the volume 2 exclusive bonus chapter, but I didn't know about it until a few weeks ago so fair is fair.
That being said, I'm excited for Candle Woods and I'd like to eventually see Cloudy Beach.
>>
>>286318119
Opposite that, I have no complaints with Ghost House. Or if I do they're so minor they come down to thighs. Aoi's screams in particular were haunting and Kinko was so cute that even though I knew what was to come I was still shocked.
I liked the part at the end of scrap building where even though it's stupid the agents weren't waiting outside, they quickly rush to their charges and Chie's runs inside to grieve over her fluff. That's a great addition. This too with Mishiro's agent standing with an umbrella at the end of Golden Bath.
Naked Mikan.
The fight with Mishiro in her gay dreams reflecting the same fight she had with Carl at the end and how she was loving it and died happy was done well. I know that's likely a budget saving reuse of animation but that works.
In general the anime has done a good job of portraying these girls as cute, very cute and it's such a waste they're throwing their lives away. I feel it. So it succeeds there.

The author said in the afterword of the 1st volume that he didn't want to alienate too many people with the content of his book. It seems like it worked out, but I can't but wonder what it would've been like if he went all in.
>>
>>286319403
i hope he becomes a more bold author as time goes on, whatever direction that ends up being.
>>
>>286318119
>I wish the bath house group wasn't off screened and that Azuma got her moment to shine
What happen? I like Azuma...
>>
>>286318311
Why was Chie's agent crying? Something happen to agent if player dies? Or did she like her that much? Why?
>>
>>286320610
Although she was killed, she was an absolute beast to take down.
>Mishiro looked down at the player who had now become a corpse. The girl had the face of a boy and, in accordance with her appearance, had quite the vitality, too; it had required ten whole players to hold her down and drown her in a bath.
>>286320636
Using this passage from the book, I would assume that would imply that Chie had a very close relationship with her agent. I'd like to think there's enough to suggest that Carl's agent also cares for her deeply too.
>Agents all fit a specific mold—they wore sunglasses and black suits and drove black cars, like a group that existed only in urban legend. However, individual agents came in all shapes and sizes. Some did only the bare minimum, silently sending off and greeting players, while others cheerfully conversed with their players, got involved in their private lives, and provided extra support to push them to even greater heights.
>>
>>286320610
>>286320930
extra context:
when team mishiro storms the rear, they're only here for the keys and there are very few casualties. in total, 11 remain in the onsen. yuuki and azuma ask who wants to risk their lives to storm the castle and who wants to stay behind. 4 follow yuuki and azuma and 5 stay behind. along the way, the 4 and azuma get picked off one by one before yuuki's fight with mishiro. of the 5 that stayed behind, 2 escape in the end.
>>
I wonder if the game designers expected to get a perfect 70% survival rate in golden bath?
>>
>>286321212
The remaining contestents without boots probably could've cheesed the exit with enough time and effort. For example, since the turrets were kind of slow you could conceivably bait them to look one way and then someone else could run across the furniture and unplug them. You could also bash in some of the open lockers and use them to cut down some bamboo outside to jam the yawing mechanism. You could also craft a shield from bashing up some of the furniture/etc and lash it together with upholstery or shredded towels.
>>
>>286321580
That sounds like a lot of work. Better to eat weeds for a month and hope the power runs out.
>>
>>286321580
when 70 are out the game staff probably started pouring concrete in front of the entrance. even if anyone actually got out they'd probably be put on a most wanted list. the entire point of the turrets is essentially to show what rules are rigid.

Why bother working out when you can just get bionic limbs
>>
>>286327559
Because you need muscle to support the rest of the body the bionic limbs are attached to. Just because you have robot arms and legs doesn't mean that the rest of your muscles don't do anything. On the contrary, to use the strength of the new limbs to their fullest would mean the rest of the muscles in the body would need to be stronger to match.

If you had a potato core but really strong arms, then you'd still get tired quickly even if your robot arms could technically lift way more than normal arms. Additionally, having weak muscles would lead to injuries if you needed to use your robot parts to their limit.
>>
>>286327559
If they went full-robo that's fine too, but most players are doing neither and just replacing the limbs they have no choice on. Also I just want to see muscular-but-still-slender Yuuki.

>She had a sister, but she was jealous and wanted to be number one, so she killed her. Is that correct?
>Did she kill her for that reason alone or was there another reason?
>If they were really close as the flashback suggests, why did she kill her? Or is that an anime-only thing?
>How could she just live normally after killing her own sister without facing any consequences?

- She "only" beat her half to death with racket.
- She was raised "unfairly" by her mother on purpose.

Cue 1
The first time Mishiro had felt that feeling was when her little sister
was born. Anytime something happened between them, Mishiro always
bore the full brunt of the blame. She had found it odd how her mother
wouldn’t treat them equally.

Cue 2
Finally, her mind drifted to the image of her mother. She looked up
at the woman who was more than twice her height and asked, “Hey,
why does my name, Kazumi, mean ‘most beautiful’?”
The woman answered, “I named you with hopes that you would be the
best at something, no matter how small.”
Shut up, woman. Die. How dare you curse me… Die!

Nope, there was Mishiro, who was inferior to her sister, so she beat her with tennis racket. Anime added a little yuri wibes.

They certainly didn't save the budget for this. It's the exact same shit as always. I feel like a fool for expecting any different.

But the future refused to change.
For what it's worth. I didn't hate it and that's an improvement but I expected better.

All the parts that make it Candle Woods are there, but it also hasn't got to the good parts that make Candle Woods interesting.
There was Santa Kyara so I call this an absolute win.
