what's new for you?
this is a fun show. reminds me of those shows that can be enjoyed by all ages
I've also still been reading through Last news >>286867315 this pic is from there. I don't think it was ever TL'd but i'm 4 volumes in now and it reminds me a lot of "The Newsroom" for the type of format.
>>286867525the team that did last news went on to do a more political one that i want to read next. >加治隆介の議>Kaji Ryūsuke, a son of a famous Japanese politician, undergoes the hardship of becoming a Member of the Diet after claiming a mandate as his father's heir - in ultra-conservative Kagoshima Prefecture.
has one read 空の色ににている?
I'm about to give up on Turn A. I just can't stand the conceit about characters not being recognized due to a mild disguise like Laura/Loren and Diana/Kihel
>>286868225I couldn't finish either despite liking the base idea for it. I didn't like it as much for other reasons but i can see how the disguises would irritate you.
>>286867315How old is retro? I'm reading Trigun
>>286868282>I couldn't finish either despite liking the base idea for it. I didn't like it as much for other reasonsIs it because it's kind of low stakes? It threatens war while mostly being small scale skirmishes and such. I'm sure it will escalate but as is I don't find the mecha fights engaging. Its almost like it would have been better as some odd turn-of-the-20th century steampunk thing instead of Gundam
>>286868225Yeah and Clark Ken is obviously Superman. It’s called suspension of disbelief.
>>286868818I kind of expected it be a return to primitive humans, without higher level tech. Just similar to 50-80s tech. Where their timeline was set in the future from a collapse and rebuild, I did get a part of that but it's not the way i expected. I liked lorhan's way of exploring mech and how it can be used for non combative roles but i would have liked to see more of a patlabor take on the mech rather than the same old mech vs mech battles. obviously I didn't finish it but it would have far more interesting inventing unique uses for older mech. The zaku? it has tubes everywhere maybe the older generation meant for it to be an incubator or water holding system. In even 70 years in our timeline we've lost a lost of tech and know how. we know how they might have been used but not the progress in building in them. a timeline that has moved past large scale wars and low population numbers will eventually lose that knowledge as well.
>>286867315Waiting on new TLs
Finished Onward Towards Our Noble Deaths yesterday. Mizuki's art and writing really helps to sand off the edges on such dark subject matter.
>>286869567simple mcs and intense BG always look good. I'll try to read it later as it's just a oneshot. thanks anon.
>>286867315
I watched an episode of osumatsu-kun '66 and it's great that most gag manga is timeless.
>>286871098i heard the early versions are better than the latter. do you think so as well?
>>286867626Same artist from the shima kosaku series ?
Is it really true that there’s not a single episode or special of Ojarumaru / Prince Mackaroo available in english?No subs, no dubs, nothing for such a long-running anime?I did some googling and it looks like Enoki Films got the rights about a decade ago but they never did anything with themhttps://enoki-films.co.jp/pro_princemackaroo.php
>>286867315I started Sailor Moon S. It's much better than R so far, both in terms of scene-to-scene direction (R has a lot of mediocre storyboarding) and writing. They clearly know what to do with Venus too, which is great.As for manga, I'm 8 volumes in to 3x3 Eyes. The scan and translation quality vary between "professional" and "almost unreadable", but it's really good nonetheless. The action is creative but the slice of life parts are where it's really at.>>286867398And then you get to watch the movie, which does a complete tonal 180 from the show. Good times.
honestly the saddest thing I've watched all month
Has anyone heard of suzumiya Haruhi no yuutsu? It's an ancient anime from the ancient 2006 era, yeah it's very old but still holds up
>>286873418How is this compared to 99 in tone? Is it the same or worse?
>>286873227>which does a complete tonal 180 from the show.In what way?
>>286867315After 200 years I finished Braiger, and now I've started on Baxingar. The quality of the masters used for official releases of the entire J9 Trilogy are absolutely dire, so it's nice to get to one of the episodes that Kineko Video scanned from a 16mm print.>>286872953Sitting on properties that they're not going to do anything with seems to be their thing now. They went out of their way to pull licenses from distributors a while back, which includes Slayers amongst other things.
>>286869241> Poor Little Asian Boy
>>286868965Just because the story tells you to do so, does not mean you have to accept it. I find it awkward and unbelievable in a way that I don't with Clark Kent.>>286869088Understood
>>286867315I watched Patlabor OVA and the films. Pretty good. I liked Nagumo.>>286874242It's different. It's more like those anime centered on a sad real life story or issue, it doesn't need to be particularly great as a film you already know it's going to hit hard. With a touch of Leiji still.
>>286877096
>>286876373NTA, but it's a surreal character drama about death with Remy as the central character. The robot is not even in it.
>>286867315That pic looks like an Usan comic. Where's the moe I am so used to see?
>>286877474Who the heck is Usan
>>286877648You know, the ones obsessed with heroes wearing their underwear over their pants.
>>286877806You mean Americans?
>>286877939yeah, those guys.
>>286877207I might watch it for the mindfuck alone
I get the feeling that Madara was a significant influence on Kishimoto.
>>286881214I miss these types of ink. Even when using a gnib it doesn't produce these types of ink in modern manga (that's still analog). Is it the paper? The ink?
planning on watching pic related tonight what am i in for?always been interested in fss when i came across a newtype magazine fucking years ago
>>286882531I'll join you soon. It's next on my watch list list
>>286882477>Is it the paper? The ink?Both, usually
>>286882477Looks like watercolor and gouache. Watercolors are tricky to work with, you're more likely to see them used in illustrations (like the Lupin pic) or in single panel cartoons rather than fully colored sequential comics.
>>286883337It's not the watercolor but rather the base inking style. A lot of comics from the 70s to 80s have that almost blur like quality to their inking regardless of they are b&w or with watercolors/gauche. I see sometimes in fanart but the style itself isn't used in favor of crisper lines from pen nibs. I don't believe it's all brush work either as it was uncommon enough to get pointed out as unusual
>>286882531 You’re in for 80s OVA energy distilled into a single, gorgeous art film that refuses to explain itself.FSS the movie is basically a lavish tone piece for Nagano’s setting. Insane mechanical designs, ethereal elf-girl vibes, aristocrats being dramatic as fuck, and lore being name-dropped like you already read 12 volumes. Don’t expect a clean beginning-middle-end narrative. It’s more like “here’s a slice of a gigantic mythos, good luck.”The real selling point is the mecha animation and that shimmering, soft 80s cel aesthetic. Mortar Headds look regal as hell in motion. The soundtrack slaps too.If you go in expecting a self-contained story, you might feel lost. If you go in to vibe with space feudalism and og mechanical porn, you’ll have a good time.
Bros I've pseudo-dementia and can't remember the name of the characters from the manga I read. I hate what I've become.
>>286876431>SlayersDamn shame.
>>286867315We have dozens of untranslated magic Chinese Series, I'm tired of all the other crap getting translations but anything interesting gets ignoredSouten Kouro
>>286886242>the other crap getting translations but anything interesting gets ignoredsuch is life really. It's one of the reasons i started learning nip. companies want a mass market manga but we just want to read good things
Is the original Macross actually worth it? I have it downloaded but never touched it
>>286887624It's a series with many hooks and potential pitfalls, and depends on your tastes. One of it's strongest charm point is that it's very unique in how it handles its main premise of "cultural victory", which most of its successors and other series with similar premises fail to capture; even its direct sequel/in-universe reinterpretation DYRL misses many of the curveballs and subtleties of the original. If none of its hooks are getting you, though, it's easy to get irritated quickly at the lopsided love triangle and mid-series QUALITY episodes.
>>286887624Sure, the original Macross is fun and interesting.
Been watching a lot of robot girl/mahou shoujo stuff lately, lots of decent OVA's but nothing still hits quite as hard and Cardcaptor Sakura or Sailor Moon.
Asking the otaku scholars/old farts ITT:I've always associated the peak moe/Akihabara era with the mid-2000s. So I was surprised that Komugi in 2002 was already taking jabs at otaku-bait, which seems to already be well-established by that point. Other otaku cornerstones like Di Gi Charat are from '99 and later, but that whole aesthetic seems much less prevalent earlier through the 90s (might be a false impression, though).Where and when exactly did it start and develop from, then?
>>286888124In the very very late 80s and all through the 90s it was associated with that, but not as much for anime but for VNs and PC games. A few famous VN's from the 90s are Kanon and To Heart for example.
>>286872229yep >>286867525>>286867626I'm pretty sure these two ain't fully translated as far as I know.
>>286872953A lot of kids' shows never get touched, either by companies or the fan translation community.
>>286867315Berserk '97 and first time for Berserk anything. Last time someone asked me what I'd give an "A" grade to. Berserk '97 gets an A, maybe an A+. >>286882531This sounds great and is going on the list. I saw a note about a connection to L-Gaim, should I see one of those before the other? I already have the new BD release of L-Gaim on order.
I just finished the SNES game and really enjoyed itIs the OVA worth checking out?
>>286888969Most people probably wouldn't be interested in fansubbing the Japanese equivalent of Bluey.
>>286867315>>286889864Why? Plenty of stuff for kids is really good. This one has a manga and an anime. But 0 Translations
>50 years later>only 5% of the manga has been translated
This is fun
Bump
>>286890610I see it as a supply and demand thing. The anglosphere already has lots of cartoons aimed at kids, which are also more culturally familiar. The western market for anime and manga tends to revolve around niches that are not well served by local industry.
>>286890610Because they're slice of life shows for toddlers.
>>286877096>I liked Nagumo.Why?
>>286894157what the fuck is his problem?
kinda funny how all the kid anime mentioned in this thread aired in latin countries, but not in the US
Assassination Classroom.I'm on season 2, that's ancient history by now (10 years ago)
>>286892668>Because they're slice of life shows for toddlers.You don't understand the level of kino
>>286889276L gaim is complete compared to 5ss. It depends on how you feel about that. Nothing wrong to start l gaim. I think it's a great series overshadowed by Gundam with tomino
>>286895543>that's ancient history>I remember reading the very first manga chapter way back then on /a/ my old heart can't take it

I'm looking at the new official release of the Hibari-kun manga on nyaa and wondering if its cultural significance might outweigh my dislike for gender-bender stuff
>>286898332I mean, if you don't like reading that kind of thing then the cultural significance probably isn't going to do anything for you.
>>286898332Its a silly surreal gag manga, cultural significance and the gender issues are all blown significantly out of proportion
>>286900578>>286898332You should try 昭和アホ草紙あかぬけ一番
>>286898332Lucky there is no gender bender in Hibari
>>286901352Nta but I haven't read it yet. Is there some reveal that it was a girl all along?
>>286902605No.
What am i in for?
>>286903738A fairly disjointed film if I'm being honest, but it's still cool as hell.
>>286902817Hard to tell sometimes when someone is spoiling or shitposting
>>286890610i always remember this one for being too moe, too long and repetitive like 999i doubt this will appeal mainstream audiences, specially for those random ecchi scenes like megu chanhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k3a4p_RkK6Y
>>286904571NTA but Hibari is trap/otokonoko, not gender bender.
Takarjima!
>>286903738>>286903749>>286903935And i'm back.I still think Terra E is my favorite film of the time period, but yeah, Arcadia was pretty cool.After enduring the TV show which i honestly didn't like much, the movie was quite the treat. From the planes and modern scenes to the shots in space, it was breathtaking. I very much adored the dramatic tone the film had and the score really elevated it. Likewise, i liked the script a lot, with plenty of good lines.>When we see in hell, we'll share a cup. Until then, live your dream, harlock.It's a strangely romantical film. A lot of it's ideas about what means being a man, hope and freedom are seen from a fairly idilic place, but can't help but find some reason to them, like they resonate even to this day. I think it meanders a bit, and there some stuff from the TV show that i'd have liked for it to touch upon, but i guess what they were going for here was hard to link to the show.All in all, i liked it.Is Endless Orbit SSX and Nibelung Ring OVAs worth watching?
>>286906127You're making me want to watch this. I might watch it and report back if the thread is still alive in a few days
>>286906127>It's a strangely romantical film. A lot of it's ideas about what means being a manFirst time in the leijiverse?
I started Joe but the new translation is awful and I assume the original Japanese more accurately depicted the harsh conditionsI doubt the original had retarded phrases like "you big palooka"
Watching genji tsuushin agedama to work on hearing Japanese and have gotten a weird sense of despair thinking about how much media exist and has been forgotten to time.
>>286906127>Endless Orbit SSXIt's a bit more childish and more entertainment than "art Leiji" like the film or first show. But it has some great moments, and it's nice to have Tochiro and Emeraldas around more. I'd say yes if you don't expect a spiritual continuation of the film. I think Katsumata might've been busy with Final Yamato (awesome film).>Nibelung Ring OVAsThis I thought was awful. Dull, uninspired anime.
>>286897815I noticed in chapter 16 of the official English, the mention of kagebara was completely omitted. At least that fan translation bothered to bring it up and provided a translation note for it.
>>286867315I finished reading Hidamari no Ki yesterday, really great manga and definitely one of Tezuka's best. It's already a fascinating historical period but his story telling really elevated it even more.Not sure what I'll read next but I guess I'll see what catches my eye later
>watch all the Phoenix / Hi no Tori OVA, movies, and series>there's one I'm missing>nowhere to be found online>chances are it's just lost media by nowdamn it, I even tried getting it from the official 2006 site using the Internet Archive, but it was no goodhttps://web.archive.org/web/20070517040056/http://broadband.biglobe.ne.jp:80/sitemap/index_hinotori.html
>>286896201Almost nothing Gundam is in print on BD, so ill just keeping watching basically anything else.Super Dimension Century Orguss just shipped
>>286910697which one is it?
>>286910915>Almost nothing Gundam is in print on BDbecause they expect you to purchase the UC library editions>b-but japaneseit's subtitled in 4 languages
>>286910925https://tezukaosamu.net/jp/anime/154.html
>>286910984Seems like they integrated with UNEXT, but at some point lost the license I didn't find anything while logged in. Theres dvds floating around but for a 7m clip i dunno if it's worth to purchase the アースキーパーズ・コレクション for it.
>>286910946>because they expect you to purchase the UC library editionsWasn't actually aware of these, pricings seem high but I'll shop around and do some research now that I know what to look for. Unrelated but search engines are such garbage now.If I can get the core series to start with for a decent price I'll finally give the franchise a look.
>>286911240https://a-onstore.jp/shop/uc-blu-ray-libraries/obviously you can get them from other retailers but this is one of bandai's stores This is the link you'll want to look at
>>286911596I'll add on that 99% of gundam jp releases have subtitles in eng at least. hathaway, origin bds, gquacks (the beginning movie), etc they all are subtitled in english and quite frankly have much better bonuses than overseas editions. looking at the hathaway movie 1 that includes the the bd + audiobook +book+soundtrack for like 6.5k used-10k new. origin special editions include the entire storyboard of the whole episode plus a lot of other extras. the newest one for gquack's movie contains a whole novel not previously written/released. it's in nip but as (just one of the) bonus it's pretty good
>>286911161thanks for looking for it, anon. maybe it'll turn up somewhere one dayI’d also been searching for this one horror anime called Man Eater Mountain for years... site was dead, nowhere to be found and then out of nowhere it got restored and was finally released recently as part of the All the Haunts Be Ours box
>>286911815just set up alerts on all your favorite sites for the dvd anon. I have a record i've been waiting to pop up since the last time it was sold 5 years ago. sometimes it's just a waiting game. could also just email the company and ask who has the rights/where it's available now
Anyone ever read 3x3 eyes? Looks good, is it?
>>286914216I haven't read in so long that i don't remember it but i do like the anime for the most part
Have you reread something and come away disliking it compared to the first time you read it all those years ago? I wish I didn't reread it
>>286869567His background art looks wonderful but visually busy at the same time. It makes my eyes hurt a little bit.
Depressing after it was finally translated fully on mangadex it’s maybe been lost to time again but apocalypse zero is a must read
>>286916357no, but there are some manga I started reading over a decade ago that I loved and they've just gotten so bad quality-wise that every new chapter feels like a chore to get through
>>286916830I have a couple like that as well. One is ending soon so I'll read to the finish line but I stopped the other long running series. Sometimes it's just not worth it
>>286916531Wasn't it posted on /a/ too?
>>286914216not the manga but i saw the first episode of the anime some time ago just to see what it was about and it was pretty enjoyable, i have more shit in my backlog that i wanted to get over with so ill have to pick it back up later
>>286905898Unfathomably based. One of my absolute favourites.>>286890610The movie for this is subbed actually, but the only torrent for it that's not dead is on BakaBT.
>it's all dick & balls in here
>>286867315Shima here on /a/?!
>>286904616But is relaxing
>>286916531>it’s maybe been lost to time againWe literally have translations. Everything is fine
>>286916531It wasn't mirrored elsewhere?
>>286888930A majority of older manga isn't. Nor is older anime always translated either. I'm not sure what you expected.
>bunch of zoomers talking about shows they have no investment inWhy are these threads allowed again?
nice bait
>>286923080have you missed the volume release dumps?
>>286924390SUGOI DESU NE [CURRENT SEASON] SELF INSERT ROM COM ANIME IS SO FRICKING GOOD
Akira before is hiatus from the movie feels a lot different then Akira after the movie and resumption. It feels like he changed the ending while working on the movie or something. Does anyone else get this feeling?
>>286920694rip legend.sad I never got to see him, he passed a couple months after I moved to his city. he was the most beloved local celebrity.
>>286894341It was the 70s.
>>286906127>It's a strangely romantical filmThat's pretty much Leiji to a t. His particular brand of sci fi leans very heard on the operatic side of things. I liked SSX. Nibulung was... not the best. I have a friend who sworn off Harlock for years because of it a long time ago. You should check out Galaxy Express if you haven't.
>>286923080/a/ is probably the only place that knows that manga exists and is being translated because the storytime was pretty popular.
>>286928734The op isn't from that though. I'm not sure what they're talking about.
>>286928935It looks quite like him.
>>286867315I see I'm not the only one who thought OP was Shima.TL DOKOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Future GPX Cyber Formula.I feel fuckin robbed that i didn't get to watch this in my childhood. Then again the technical stuff is probably a bit too boring for kids>>286887902Mew and Mica sexooooo
Anything you plan to watch?
>>286929437It's fun to realize yas did a lot of background work for crusher joe and gorg himself.
>>286916357lots of times
>>286928734I thought the translation effort started here.
>>286889329This reminds me there's a Rayearth snes game that I never got past the intro area..
Watched the OVA Submarine 707. It was a... somewhat decent undersea adventure. Wouldn't put it on par with other sub anime, of which there are criminally few of, but what do want out of a single 45 minute OVA. This ain't no Super Atragon.
>>286882531I am exited for the new English release of the manga.sadly it seems like it's been delayed.
>>286936557F

People talk about lost media in terms of actual shows you can watch but without books and cels, certain scenes are truly lost media after removal from home copiesArion had 4 pages deleted from the final script, and in the scripts itself there was 3 scenes made (known) that have cels and lines but not left in. 1retake scene was omitted in the final product.What was left out of the script was Poseidon watching arion battle in an Olympic coliseum battle. He would develop a fever that Seneca would be worried about.
>>286943120That feels like a normal part of film making in general. Even with all the extended shit the LOTR movies added you always hear tale of something new that cut left on the cutting room floor.
>>286943229Oh of course. If you left everything in the movie the runtimes would horrible and did that should get cut wouldn't. I understand why the battle was cut. It would be cool animated but if the fever impacted his exertion and fever later in the movie where he draws his blade against Poseidon in a hallucination, now that's a debate. Does fighting/using his strength cause him duress? Small things like this even if the scenes themselves have been deleted a really fun to think about in terms of impact on future actions. Similar to cut lines from Gundam.I really wish they still did thing like this for people like me who like to collect stuff
>>286932863Name one
>>286916357I wouldn't say I dislike it but I get real sick of things that run for too long
I keep seeing Nana get talked about lately but i dont know anything about it. Any good? Does it hold up? Anything its similar to?
Currently juggling three anime, all count for this thread.>Doraemon>Akazukin Chacha (picrel)>Igano KabamaruAnyone else seen the last two? Both have been a fun watch for me in particular.
>>286944770Not retro and the manga is better.
>>286945202The manga is on eternal hiatus with a cliffhanger, I wouldn't recommend people to read it even though I enjoyed most of it.
>>286945237Nana is not even Yazawa Ai's best work either. That tile goes to Gokinjo Monogatari, which feels closer to Paradise Kiss and Marmalade Boy than Nana. And frankly those are the sort of series that I would go to first.Not that Nana is bad, just a matter of personal preference.
My cousin passed way recently and I suddenly remembered this oneshot he read to me when I was a little kid (mid2000s), and I can’t find a single thing about itI know it’s about some guy with a guitar, and it ends on a school rooftopIt’s really messing with my head
>>286945356Only thing that I could think of is beck, but that is not a One Shot.
>>286945335I wish she'd just write a novella or something that says how the story is supposed to end if she's never going to go back to the manga.
>>286945589I honestly think that will never happen either. Usually mangaka do not write novels unless it is tied to some larger project like .Hack//.
>>286945713I think it depends on the author though. Yasuhiko has done 6 series, for example
>>286945713Yeah I don't expect it either, just frustrating when you pick up a series and it just never gets finished without even a formal cancellation or anything.
>>286945044the second one has been on my backlog forever and I have massively high expectations for it because I love that era of the studio/team behind it
>>286945837I think it's just an on going meme now. I don't think nana will ever get a conclusion but I also don't think it's worth a read. Maybe if it was still in that time period but nana just doesn't hold up
>>286946026Same here. I have enjoyed all of Gallop's anime from Anime Sanjuushi on, though I have not seen Ojarumaru, Animal Yokochou or Nurse Angel Ririka SOS, plus I am stuck on episode 6 of RPG Densetsu Hepoi (typical of ARR dropping a series early on).>>286946037Do you think the mangaka has a better series? I feel like Paradise Kiss might still be her more popular title in certain parts of the world.
>>286946401what's your favourite Gallop?I can't believe there is anything else as good as pic related
>>286946463High School Kimengumi or 1 Pound Gospel. I am a sucker for gag comedies and Takahashi Rumiko, though, so I am a bit biased.Anime Sanjuushi is good too, though, as are all WMT and WMT-likes, really. (Same goes for KodOcha, which I think is one of the best put together romcoms full stop). Hard to decide...
>>286946401I think nana will always be more popular as a word of mouth type and how much it being unfinished is major 'draw' even if it's a complaint.I'm not a big fan of all of her works but I remember liking paradise kiss more.
Someone a thread or two ago brought up Green Legend Ran. That was pretty good.
>>286946872If you want another overlooked OVA, then check out Everyday is Sunday. It is very different from Ran, though, since EiS is a romcom.

>>286947277Honestly, it reminds me more of Super Pig, a series I am quite nostalgic for.>>286947364How do you mean? The faces? I am not really that sure as the style is pretty distinctly Western, but try The Gutsy Frog and, if not that, Ghost Sweeper Mikami never fails to impress.
>>286947277>azukichan its just like kareshi kane no kanojoso it's one of the greatest anime ever made?I knew it, fucking sold
>>286947451Oh...>>286947451>Azuki-chan>Azakukin ChachaDang, I think we are both confused... Azuki-chan is on my to watch list. I will get to it. It is number 2 on the backlog behind Kiko-Chan Smile. Mama Loves the Poyopoyosaurus was also up there, but the guy subtitling is taking his time.
>>286946732I'll give Kimengumi a try. Never would have thought to pick those up desu
>>286947743It is worthwhile. The remake is not great, though, but it is better than what people may suggest it to be.
I decided to go through episode 1 of Igano Kabamaru again, there are a ton of reaction image-worthy stuff.
>>286947526>looks at the post...Meant for >>286947277 not myself... That was embarrassing.
>>286937292thanks for the rec brodiegonna watch this tonight looks interesting
>>286947852It probably would have been better if they spent less on the voice cast and more on commissioning a studio other than Seven to do the animation.
>>286949178True. Any Studio would have been better. Maybe throwing Tatsunoko a bone would help as I know that they are almost entirely surviving off of merchandise at this point and desperately need a new IP to work on.Even then, a remake was uncalled for and both Shape Up Ran and Gakuen Jouhoubu H.I.P. still lack an adaptation. Literally the only two comedies featured in WSJ during that time to lack one. (I have read neither, but they both were fairly long running fwiw).
>>286949359>Maybe throwing Tatsunoko a bone would help as I know that they are almost entirely surviving off of merchandise at this point and desperately need a new IP to work on.They could always try doing Mecha-Doc again if they want to do an unnecessary 80s remake of their own.
>>286949470>Mecha-DocThat was alright
>>286890651And there's a new anime coming too, hopefully better than the low effort Kimengumi 2026.
>>286943120The Cyborg 009 1980 movie has some evidence of scenes that made it to the recording script and boards but were deleted for time, if they ever were animated.A popular one for fujos is 004 asking 002 if he'd like to come live in Canada with him, paralleling 009 later telling 003 he's got a race in Monaco they can meet at.
>>286949359Tatsunoko seems to like farming IPs out to Mad Cave for mixed-effort American comics these days, but with strange lenience for some vs. strictness on others.>So concerned about "keep it in the first series" for Gatchaman but the OCs and developments don't really fit, people whinging about black Science Ninja trainees aside>Speed Racer is a whole modernized remake>Casshan will be an OEL sequel
List of otaku interests, according to 'Otaku no Video'
>>286905155Yeah Eguchi has always been telling people that Hibari's a cross-dressing gay boy and won't fully go all the way or be trans, making one narcissistic Hibari kin type really peeved. The last chapter of the manga has a "reverse of Hibari" character which could get some thinking Hibari's trans, but it's more like the other character does go all the way and is taking testosterone to be a man.
>>286951525I'm just confused as to who these are meant to be for.
>>286867315I've been reading the eternal arc of Ginga Tetsudou 999. Earth getting supernovaed is hard to take.
>>286952871Have you watched the anime? I've been curious how they compare
>>286951482none of the former VA are coming back, so that's a bad start already
>>286952828Yeah, the Gatchaman title doesn't feel new viewer-friendly but it's also rather hackneyed. Forget the complaints about there being multicultural characters, the writing and characterizations suck and are pretty low-effort but guess as long as Tatsunoko editorial is pleased with them not referencing anyone outside the first show they'll approve whatever.
Started Pumpkin Wine and am teo episodes, please tell me the MC mellows out early on because his borderline homo obsession is already grating on my nerves. L deserves better. Whistle loli is pretty cute at least and refuses to put up with his shit.>>286945044Akazukin was my favorite thing I watched in 2024 by far. Just hard skip any recap episodes.
>>286869241Should've posted Nami's BF for better effect
>>286949470They did that with Muteking. I have my gripes, but I guess the changes were necessary for the newtypes.>>286955280Which ones are the recaps?
>>286955574They'll be pretty obvious like 60 seconds in. Just dont sit through them expecting any new content.
>>286944504not only one but more: future boy conan, oniisama e, sherlock hound...
>>286955999Not sure if this is supposed to be sarcastic/joking or real depression, but I'd be interested to know what you actually like
>>286887902armpit sex
>>286956875Pay him no mind, really. Some people are nearly impossible to impress and that does not always equate to good taste. I knew a guy who hated every anime that he watch except for Casshern Sins and he had seen over 300 anime at that point.>>286887902Tried Wedding Peach or Corrector Yui?
Since CSM fags are about to wipe this thread... Have another Igano Kabamaru bump.
>>286961828It was on page two ? What did I miss?
>>286961922seasonal fags and shit posters
>>286962027I can't be bothered to even see what the fuss is like. This thread is comfy and has all my favorite series. Even the shit ones
>>286961922>>286962125Pretty much >>286962027 but more specifically CSM ended. They are making a fountain out of an ant hill, in my opinion, but then again, I post only in this thread for a reason.
>>286962348i only post in the one that doesn't look like it was made by the waifufag spammer
>>286962027holy shit 21+ threads are up right now you weren't kidding. what the hell?
>>286965336and none of them are good
>>286965931
>>286887902try wedding peach or doremi
>>286961828Sucks that they steamrolled the 009 thread
>>286965336Still not as bad as when Attack on Titan ended.
>>286966391you're right only because no one posts here anymore
>>286928734"Japanese the Manga Way" introduced me to it.
Over a third of the less popular manga I want to read isn't fully translated or is translated by a strong ESL / AI. Maybe this is the year I start learning Japanese.
>>286914216Yes. It's got wonderful artwork and a good mix of everything in regards to the plot.The action is very fun. Everyone has creative abilities, and 10 volumes in I've yet to see a typical shonen asspull or even annoying plot armor. The supernatural stuff is very unique and well handled.The comedy and romance are typical Yuzo Takada so you'll probably love or hate them.Pai is cute and you'll want to bend Parvati over.
>>286966330009fags are welcome here. Depending on the series it is retro or retro-adjacent.Also, while I am going through Igano Kabamaru, are there any similar series? Other than Tokimeki Tonight, I have seen that one.
i wish i knew more people who talked about joe
>>286968799I wish I did too.
>>286956875>>286960464God forbid people for having opinions I fucking guess.Well sorry anon-kun for not enjoying your favourite animu.
>>286968919 NOT YOU I HOPE YOU BURN IN HELL YAS
>>286969212Opinions are like assholes, little girl.
>>286968919Have you read the novels at all?
>>286969963I have read the first three novels, I am taking a short break before picking them up again. I like what I have read thus far, though.
>>286951527Does anyone feel like giving an overview?
>>286916531I remember liking the remake of this that came out. How did you guys like both? Was the original better?
>>286971136
>>286968324pollonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CW4WnNs2LnU
>>286955280The funny thing is some Anilist people only seem to like it for "fat kink" with L, but her design was actually slimmed down by the animation team because they realized in replicating her thick thighs and round face she looked too big. They put her on what they called a "design diet" and claimed viewers would find the revised L sexier, but she looks so strange and pointy.
>>286926518When was the last one? I feel like I might've missed it.
>>286975099https://desuarchive.org/a/search/subject/Shima%20Kosaku/
>>286975373Thanks!
>>286969217kek
>>286972116Thank you for the rec.
>>286867315where is he from
>>286980446>>286975373
>>286973153She's still pretty thick at points, but consistency is all over the place.Speaking of which, the subs quality for episode three is fucking awful. I'd say they got a good 20% of extremely basic lines completely wrong. First two episodes were acceptable so I'm not sure how the quality plummeted so fast between episodes.
saw an anon mention this a while backgonna give it a go the main girl looks cute
>>286867315A cel from the first OAV of Vampire Princess Miyu, which has my all-time favorite character designs of any animu. The artwork for the main characters are all exceptionally beautiful.
>>286984721A few more cels, which are not mine.
>>286984783
>>286984850
>>286907844Nice to see fellow Agedama enjoyer That show was so damn good and also funny. I just wish it was available in better quality somewhere.Rei is best girl and Ibuki is meh btw
>>286984178Yeah few more episodes in and the accuracy is only going down. Stuff like "go stand in the hallway" getting translated as "what a stupid story" and "I messed up" as "I get to watch you". I'm like a N4 at best and can scrape by without subs thankfully, but I'm absolutely baffled how they got some of these lines wrong but other more complex lines and kanji translations are just fine.Aside from that, M and L are cute enough I guess but it's just not hooking me.
>>286984178Yeah, the original OP, ED, and first few episodes were done when they had her "NG, looks fat" model and they claim they made the revised skinny model around then, but it depends on animation director. The later half of the series and the movie have her skinnier and sharper-faced more consistently iirc.Yeah I remember there were some crabstick quality subs for later episodes too, really killed the vibe.
>>286984178Would.>>286984933Shame about that. How good is the French dub? Maybe trying to transliterate that or seeing if the DVD rip has English subtitles could be better.
>>286984891the show is archived and even on youtube. I've also never met a single people who didn't like Rei the best.
What's with the chapter order on Black Jack? I downloaded Vertical's release and it starts from a completely different chapter than the raws
>>286985447Makes me think of how MaruChanSubs had to clarify that Hai Step Jun is about two teenagers, not a loli and an adult because apparently its own French dub changed the story to be about that.You still got AL people ranting that the anime was for diddlers and had evil vibes from its premise, since the site used the French dub summary.
Remastered bd soon for elf 17 by toei
I'm watching Mobile Suit Gundam Wing for the first time and seriously starting to like it at episode 8 so far. Heero came of as completely unlikable until you start to learn he's a trained child assassin from the colonies. Relena is brave for not giving up on Heero and pushing foward after her father passed away. Favorite characters so far are Relena and Trowa.
>>286985469>the show is archived and even on youtubeYes, but it deserves a proper remaster from the original film negatives, like G Gundam or Outlaw Star, for example, although I doubt those negatives still exist.Plus if it even got one I bet that modern fags would start complaining about nudity in the show for kids
goshogun was a trip. What the fuck even happened in this show. 10/10 im going to watch that movie now
>>286984891>>286907844I saw there is a BD of this but its not ripped and uploaded online, who is gonna be the hero that does it because it wont be me since I'm a retard and have no BD drive.
>>286989005>I'm a retard and have no BD drive.If you are in Japan, you still have an edge over me because I’m in Europe, so I doubt I can even get that BD shipped to me without it costing a fortune.Also, do you happen to know, is it a proper remaster or just an upscaled version?
>>286989095>>286989095>is it a proper remaster or just an upscaled version?No idea, I can find almost no information about it online just that it is a thing. I can't even find a release date.
>>286989110oh, well, it sucks thenI wish I could enjoy Rei in proper 1080p at the very least.
>>286989005same thing with blood+. they released upscaled BDs quite a bit ago but most rips are still LQ ones
>>286989233upscaled BDs look really terrible all the timethe last thing I tried downloading was Words Worth and it looked way worse than the original versionsYour media player usually does way better job at upscaling content
>>286986661So the summary plastered everywhere about her being a tensai that moved up grades and him being a class skipping retard that got held back several times is based on a rewrite? Thats mildly fascinating.
>>286989278there isn't really way to do it unfortunately. I'm going to buy them myself when i get some spare cash for the 34k they want. It's just not possible to do 'rescans' or revisit the film because shows from that time were just made at the quality they aired at. It's unfortunte truly but i'll take the bds for it over dvds from the 2000s. The studio did it compared to an AI so i'd at least like to support them all these years laterIt's not like it matters much to me when i can just take my glasses off and hs and sd look the same kek
>>286989233How do you know that? I have not seen a single screentshot of the BD online let alone any video to compare to the DVD version on Nyaa.
>>286989538Know what? that there is a BD?
>>286989538have one of mine i guess.
>>286989724
>>286989724No I meant Agedama, you replyed to a post about Agedama saying "Same thing with Blood+" which implied you knew the same thing happened to Agedama.
Picked up Cyborg 009 '79. Only watched the older films and some non-hero Ishinomori stuff. Did he really tell Takahashi to wrap up Yggdrasil because he wasn't good enough like JP wiki says? That's brutal. Anyway, it's still cool. Pulpy with traces of an artist's vision, which reminds me of Harlock a bit. The kind of latent depression some of his characters show feels very Ishinomori to me for example.
>>286990032that's not what it means at all though. are you esl? not an insult It means in the previous statement>BD of this but its not ripped and uploaded onlinealso applies to the show im talking about. however my claim is old now i guess, looks like someone actually did it all these years later, last year in September.
>>286984721>>286984783>>286984850>>286984876There should be more husband-wife collaborations if they turn out as good as Miyu
>>286867315Want to watch Futagohime but don't know where to torrent.
>>286990607>not retroThere is/was a project on Nyaa, but the guy moves slowly, he started almost 10 years ago and he has only reached episode 15 at this point.
Don't die
>>286990085It was more like Ishinomori had the idea for Takahashi to do Yggdrasil as their own take of "Battle with the Gods", but Takahashi said the story scope was beyond his abilities so they cut the plot short and did all that "Warrior's Rest" filler as he shifted gears to Neo Black Ghost.Ishinomori was pretty busy at the time but apparently contributed some guest character roughs here and there, and he was more involved with the scrapped Mythos adaptation; Takatoku pulling out caused the abrupt end at episode 50, with a dangling plot thread that was meant to lead into a further arc. They'd basically been extended, and then cancelled. Rough.
>>286994652Oh I see. Very interesting, thanks.
Tell me what you know about it.
There was an auction that ended yesterday for fire (水野英子, ファイヤー). I'm honestly so stoked that I can own a nice hardcover manga from 50+ years ago (published 69-’71)especially as it's one of the first shoujo that featured both a male mc and a rockstar and signed to bootEiko's drawing are so lovely. I'm really in for a treat. She's very text heavy but I don't mind at all. I don't think any of her works has been scanned or licensed have they?
>>286997593シラ, scylla was another of hers I picked up. The hardcover full limited edition. Only fire seems to have an ebook but if anyone is curious about either manga I can talk about it in a future thread or review it or something. I'm just really excited to get some new (old) books like this
>>286989149The world couldn't handle Rei. She deserves to be in some Tatsunoko vs Capcom style game or something similar.
>>286996642Same director and studio as one of my current watches (Azakukin Chacha). If the two are similar, then expect a well animated magical girl series with some fun antics.Again, I have not seen this series, but this would be my guess.
Moby dick IN SPACE
>>286867315Not exactly new, but I'm rewatching Yatterman
>>286867315UROTSUKIDOJI
>>286991629Speaking of magical girls, there are actually two retro mahou shoujo anime I might watch in the future if I have the time: Sweet Mint and Mary Bell. Anyone here watched either of those? Are they any good?
it's been forever since i watch oniisamae. i don't remember a thing. it makes for such an enjoyable rewatch though
Do you people want to watch a hilarious masterpiece? Then watch this: The Ping Pong Club. protip: it has almost nothing to do with ping pong and is the craziest shit
Another masterpiece of Okama Report. very funny. Okama means Gay
>>287002040That anime taught me what moxibustion was.
>>286996642It coined "Nanako feet" from how Azuma drew her.But besides the infamous side gig Azuma was known for, he liked doing a lot of nsfw parodies including BL of Jet and Joe from 009.
>>287001730>Sweet MintSome, but I do not watch raw stuff and that is the only way to watch all of Sweet Mint. I have not touched Mary Bell yet. This was years ago, though, but Sweet Mint is nice, just not super noticeable (it lives in two shadows, one being Minky Momo, Creamy Mami, etc. and the other being Sailor Moon et al.)
what's your response?
>>286869241the shima storytimes will be back soon...right?
>>287001730>sweettoo generic, it also uses the cliche of magical girl living in the human world, case of the week, girl solving problems with super powers, lack of history, also the animation had a downgrade since ep 3https://youtu.be/FpOWwomb7Gk?si=76jzuC7Ig6x5EY9c&t=560
>>287002136>Okama means GayI thought okama was specifically for transvestites.
>>287005272yes, pretty muchホモ is for gays, or at least used to be in older shows and games
>>287002276>he liked doing a lot of nsfw parodies including BL of Jet and Joe from 009.May I see it?
>>287005344No.
>>286868498Probably early 90s is the end of retro, anime and manga changed in the 80s, but there was still a momentum
>>286867315I watched Goku Midnight Eye, ep1 is way better than 2 and honestly it's one of the best OVA I've seen
>>287005272It runs into the issue of these use to be seen as basically the same thing
>>286876932Such a weird hang up to not enjoy a show. Turn A is one of the best sorry you are so pedantic
Thoughts on 80’s otaku taste in anime? These guys ate up mecha anime Jesus
>>287006964All of these helps (that Saint Seiya and City Hunter both appear multiple times), I say that this is a decent list. >inb4 no Maison IkkokuI can guarantee you that Kyoko is on the girls version of this. Her character still has a decent amount of staying power among Japanese audiences too.
>>287000546I liked it but it sure wasn't what I expected
Hopefully this bump is in time.
>>287006964Generic slop has always existed its just easier to find people defending newer stuff.
>>287006964didnt spect that guy from shulato
bump
>>287010661everyone is too busy watching shows.
Maison Ikkoku was too good. haven't gotten over it since finishing it a couple months ago. can't stomach much stuff any more. I'm like a third through Ranma - not half bad, pretty funny with some cute moments intermixed, but doesn't have what made MI great. finishing it made me want to read more and generally be less of a schlubby loser. if Godai can make it, we all can. strong recommend.
>>287001872I was expecting to not remember much but it's almost like watching a new show. It's a little absurd how solid the writing is surrounding the characters. i haven't felt this invested in something in a long while
>>287008681Classic Gundam and Macross are pretty great. Shit like Crusher Joe on there is funny though
>>287006964>JJdamn Zillion was that popular? I had both the Sega master system games in the 80’s and loved them (well the first one at least) but didn’t know it was based on an anime until like 2000the JP streaming service I subscribe to has the whole series but I haven’t bothered watching it yet
>>286989736sweet RTX raytracing
>>287012049it looks really nice for an upscale though i'll give you that
>>287011996those polls most likely had like 20 people maxone day I will watch that show because Apple is pure sex and it is funny to hear Embryo's VA voice upbeat characters like JJ but the fact that it is such a slideshow kinda bothers me
>>287012131>20 people maxweren't they from people sending in magazine letters? there's got to be a few thousand at least
>>287012131I always thought it was so weird that the US market Master System light gun was the same design as the Zillion laser pistol, down to the power cable.It must have been some kind of marketing tie-in in Japan but it seemed really random as a kid at the time.
>>287009111Reiga was really popular to get posters and rank in flamboyant character remembrance polls later alongside those like the gay fox from Pizza Cats.It looks like one formula to popularity was to be a Sunrise guy with blue hair and autism though.
>>287005344>>287006039It's not that impressive in the long runhttps://x.com/solachan1104/status/1517517491706404866
>>287012131Zillion was basically a limited time toyline tie-in show yep, so they only had a shorter amount of episodes to work with and had to even scrap a number of character development ideas like a JJ x Apple endgame romance.
they're fucking aren't they?
?
Finished Aim for the Ace! I preferred the TV series to the OVAs, but the OVAs did a good job in wrapping everything up. Hiromi a cute but Reika was best girl.>>287013769Probably a janny upset at CSM's ending taking it out on random users. It happens.
>>287014302I know they are separate works, but the same director. How does ace compare to BJ and oniisama? I avoid sports genre on principal since i never ended up liking them. Ace has always kept my attention just for the director alone.
>>287013769stop making this into a template general, idiot
>>287013348i think they are
>>286969963>>286970342What about the Manga?
>>287015853rebirth you mean? Yas had no part in that, the artist just heavily references his style. Zig currently has it on hiatus while she publishes her original shounen but it's not a retro manga, it's from the last couple of years.
I don't know if the anime counts as retro since it's from the 90s but I've been watching KochiKame lately. It's pretty good.
>>287016095It adapts a 1970s manga, so I would say it counts. 90s was a transition period, but most stuff after 1995 is modern (with NGE being the dawn of this era).
>>287016889Well my concern is more that the PS2 is considered retro gaming now so I wouldn't be surprised if anything animated on cels counts as retro as well.
>>287017783it does at this point considering it stopped around 2002
>>287014386Never watched either but looking him up I didn't realise he did Ashita no Joe AND Rose of Versailles.
>>287014302Nice to see Ochoufujin appreciation. Personally I grew to love the OVAs, though on rewatch.>>287014386The Ace OVAs are from the same Dezaki period as those, where he was doing extremely moody, atmosphere-rich stuff. The TV show is from the early 70s, where he had more of an overwhelming, passionate energy. Both very interesting and expressive in different ways. Ace shows some of the best from both times.At least that's my understanding, I'd love to hear more opinions.
>>287019417i've liked all his works so far (except ace as i haven't started it). he's a specific feel to his works and if you like them you'll like most of them.>>287019454Well i think I would really enjoy it if they were similar. I'll start on it later today. if the thread is up when i finish i'll be more than happy to talk about it.
>>287012131>>287012158Popularity polls may seem like they matter but they're always made by the most vocal minority. A game will sell hundreds of thousands or millions of units and the poll will have maybe twenty thousand voters, so it it looks like certain characters are the most popular but the only thing that was counted was whose autistic enough to vote. I suspect these things would be hilariously different if you could get EVERYONE to actually vote.
>>287012233That was completely intentional. There was also a laser tag set. It was a very all in merchandise series.
>>287019864at least back then you had to have money to purchase the magazines to vote
>>287020041That just narrows the pool of voters even further.
>>287020057i actually wish it was the same now.
>>287006964A bit limited definitely. Feels good to realize you can enjoy "otaku trash" with bikini armor and nonsensical stories while also appreciating works that are the complete opposite.
>>287012383Eh it's cute enough and kind of surprising coming from a guy mainly associated with lolicon material .
>>286872953The problem with shows like Ojarumaru, Nintama Rantarou, Hanakappa, etc is that they require too much management. Western producers usually think they are too weird for kids in their country. They need a lot of money for localization since there are hundreds of episodes. It is a major investment for something you have no idea there will be a return. Because they are such big titles in Japan, there is a possibility Japanese producers demand too much money for the license.
>>287021153And then you might get those like Funimation who think since they're weird niche Japanese titles no one will care about and they're "too raunchy for kids, too safe for adults", they get edged up and re-edited as Shin-chan did.
>>287020820Wonder if he had a BL drawer like Tezuka did with the mouse art.
>>287021484someone raid this man's desk
>>287012131its a shame in those episodes zillion didnt have development any interesting plot or character, its just a generic scifi action anime. the mc are just heroic good guys, the villains are just pure evil guys
>remember some manga I read over a decade ago>google it, there's a couple results, usually one of them is from mangaupdates or mangahelpers>but you just can't find a way to read it anywhere>never had an official release, never uploaded to madokami or the internet archive, nothing on the numerous manga aggregators or torrents>all the old DDL links are dead and the contacts for the scan group are gone or on dead messaging services>it just vanished This ever happen to you guys? It's been happening to me more and more lately
>>287022376i don't have this problem once i started buying my nip manga
>>287022337By that point Tatsunoko was hemorrhaging profits on many flop anime that were cut short, so they probably needed a shameless toy tie-in to play safe with.
>>287022376That Silent Mobius is hard to find really annoys me. I'm glad I have the volumes but this wasn't even obscure
>>287022376I just remembered that DeviantArt guy who scanned and translated pretty much every Ganbare Goemon manga and shared it on MegaUpload only for MegaUpload to crash and burn a few weeks later.
>>287022376Yeah, all the time.Hell, I know the SeriesLolazo guy nuked his Mega Drive of Spanish Bakabon and Osomatsu dub rips out of spite when his friend JorgeAngg ranted about fujoshi ruining those shows. Such a big loss.
>>287012131Animage wasn’t a small magazine at all lol. This is how anime fans voted back then. You can say it doesn’t have normie opinions sure but it was voted on by teenagers/otaku. Series like Gundam and Seiya kinda further this.
Only sort of retro adjacent, but the City Hunter live-action that came out in 2024 is getting a sequel.
>>287024911To spite his friend or the fujos?
>>287026210The fujos, sorry about language, keyboard is also a mess. LatAm and Euro Spanish Showa crowd do not like when the dirty women get their hands on their shows, and do not play games.
>>287022376I feel like a lot of stuff from the old internet is just GONE
>>287022376more than its lost, theres a lot of anime that its dubbed only and you have to pay a ton shit of money to get the episodes
>>287025754There was another live action City Hunter? I only knew about the Jackie Chan one.
>>287029018there's several, and one of them is french
>>287029018There's a couple. There's an unofficial Hong Kong adaptation that I prefer over the Jackie Chan one due to it being more faithful.The 2024 film is the first time that Japan itself has done a City Hunter live-action.
>>287029645honhonhon nicky narsson
>>287026829Middle-aged Hispanic men shooting themselves in the foot over women drawing that twink cop getting railed is pretty funny.
>>287030191They do flip their shit over the fujos and gays liking KochiKame too.
I came here to save this thread.
>>287032336
>>287022376A lot of stuff was only ever saved to one site so when stuff gets deleted or purged the thing itself is gone. Some of it is a blame the generation thing and money too. I’ve worked with archive and tracking groups of stuff before and there has been an issue of Zoomers don’t care as much about archiving and because of modern day politics there’s more people then ever willing to let stuff be lost or die because it’s problematic. Even in fucking archive groups I’ve run into people who were against keeping certain types of content. There’s also been more restrictions on stuff and dealing with isp things due to all the banking pressure as well.
>>287034813They also only archive their shit to one place and don't back it up, so if things go south all they can do is point fingers and blame others. One Afternoon Pulp blowhard AkumatsuT/GhostQ79 did that about some Megaupload of raws they took off someone's Weibo that they got a law office DMCA about. Then you get all those archivists that gatekeep or make things a personal morality play.
>>287036329this is why if you care about something you should just buy the older formats it came in. older web-only series may not be accessible but things on LD, vhs, dvd, film should be
Ok, maybe not retro, but it looked like Berserk. It was a horse riding / chase scene, there was a white blond guy in green helmet and a black guy in a yellow cap, they probably used some kind of magic as well. Scene lasted minutes. Anyone know which anime is this?Tbf, I saw it recently, so might be a newish anime, but the question still bugs me
>>287037280do you have any more details?
>>287038187the horseys trotted really hard and the riders throw some magic from their hands to demolish obstacles
please don't die
>>287041908jinx, you owe me a soda
>>287041909I don't want it to die either I''m going to watch the first atom soon
>>287041937it better be melon soda you faggot. I'll only buy you one if so
Looks like people'd rather make a thread than post here even if it doesn't last
>>287042008what do you mean?
>>287024689>Ganbare Goemon mangahttps://archive.org/details/@achand004
>>287042108Shit like the Minky Momo thread that was up earlier, I guess.
>>286991629No way lol
>>287043972It's not even new news they kept advertising it in movie theaters in front of every movie i watched way back in january.
Been reading the Aria manga and it's weird how it's supposedly new Venice but there's so many Japanese things like torii gates and Japanese food stalls. Barely any Italian stuff
>>287045612This scene from Nadia in front of the Eiffel Tower always stuck with me for similar reasons. Looks close enough to the real thing ig
>>287045317Doesn't Creamy Mami also have an OVA coming out?Also, since I am guessing you are Japanese, do you have any personal recommendation as far as stuff that tends to be out of sight from us Westerners? I know about Minami no Teiou, but I struggle finding manga.
>>287047620you should just stop looking in english. manga updates has a decent amount of older things but unless you read manga in japanese or MTL on your own you wont really find many things. A lot of showa manga is not available in ebook format nor seen as worth it to scan. I think you should just take a gamble and purchase random books that you find interesting. for example, 水野英子 has a lot of historical weight but there is no manga of hers available on the english side >>286997724 >>286997593 . So many popular mangaka don't have anything available without purchasing books yourself。try looking up shogakugan award winners and seeing if you read them already. i did a search but maybe this simple ranking? https://ranking.net/rankings/best-showa-manga there's 400+ here and pictures are only first the first couple
>>287048544>Hideko MizunoShiroi Troika and a couple short stories are translated
>>287048756you mean pirated?
>>286980444"Akira at home", but still pretty good.
>>286980446I have no idea what >>286982347 is talking about but it's the second post >>286867525 I don't know how you missed that.
>>287006964It's funny seeing Holmes there breaking the continuity
>>287052399There's got to be a furry somewhere
Is it as cute as it looks?
>>286882531>>286883714I'm watching it now. They don't make them like this any more.
>>287055454OVA is the best part, the series is okay, but the OVA is what to watch, really. Fun, but not overly cutesy.
>>287057604Thanks! I'll give it a watch. This article mentioned it so I got curious.
>>287022376Are any of you guys complaining about this on AnimeBytes? I haven't encountered a single scan that ins't there yet, never had this problem.
>>287031040>gays liking KochiKameThey're attracted to this? >>286947297
Don't die.
>>287058477Definitely. There are also those who like yuri with the two anime-only cop girls Komachi and Naoko, to the further anger of those sorts.
With the sequel of samurai troopers out I'm curious what would be a series that doesn't need it after one season. What is good as it is?
>>287060027Ok.
>>286903738cool film at times, nothing special thoughwhen he was rambling about the mountain it was very kino
>>286867315Nothing
I tried watching gunbusters and it's weird
I gave a chance Plastic Little, and it's just a yuribait with moe art style
>>287069686Hot girls to fap to
watching that goshogun movie now
>>287055454Very yes
>>286945356RIP
Do you read animanga?
>>287074560
>>287074585I'm actually going to share something.綿の国星 before it was serialized in to a few different versions of manga was a children's book.Here's a small bonus from when it won an award
>>287074713
>>287074743
The book version was first published in 昭和５５５月３日 which is the edition I have.
>>287074979https://ndlsearch.ndl.go.jp/books/R100000002-I000001456763#bibThis is the book I have.Unfortunately there isn't too much information on the earlier books before the manga. It's hard finding some things about it that isn't the latter children's book series. But this book is nice at least and I'm thankful it had the bonus.
I don't want to mislead I may not have typed >>287074979 correctly. This book was published then but it is not the first children's book I mentioned here >>287074713 it was trivia. Sorry.
>>287074560>AnimangaReminds me, does anyone recall the "manga" that Tokyopop made with screenshots of films? Like Pirates of the Caribbean. I think that it was called Cinemanga.
Have a good weekend anons
>>287075350no
All of the galactic heroes cafes are shuttering and even the bat is closing due to the owners health. What a shame.

>tablet finally can't play 1080p anymoreGonna ask here since I mainly watch anime and read manga on said tablet (old Samsung first gen Galaxy Tab S). What would you recommend? How the S9? Is there any other tablet out there that has great display/audio?
>>287083962USB sticks hooked up to your TV. They are like $10-15 each at Dollar General and should be able to hold 50, 100, or 200 episodes depending on what stick you get (16 or 32 or 64) and series bitrate.All modern flat screen TVs have a built in flash drive reader that processes MP4s, MKVs, MOVs and sometimes AVIs.
>>287084105>>287083962If you do not live in the US, just try to find the PNY brand, those are usually the cheapest. They can also act as a manga reader too.
>>287084105I would really rather not. My TV is not set up for that sort of thing and I prefer to watch in bed.
>>287083891Not quite, that's the climax, but the core of the film is a character study.
>>287084383Oh that's even better. I hope you enjoy it
bump cause i have something to post later
What is your favorite "hentai with a real plot and characters" series? Minerva was actually pretty good.
>>287088922Do Kite and Violence Jack: Evil Town count?
>>287084196Fair enough. Look at a Lenovo V15 laptop. 40GB RAM and 1TB and 2TB storage options for under $500.
>>287092215>Lenovo V15 laptopOnly see the 40GB of ram with a 512GB SSD for 600+ used.
>>287084196I forgot that there's people out there that don't set their TV up in front of their bed.
>>287092662Weird, I bought my 40GB RAM 1TB SSD for $450 new last year. I forget if it was on sale or not, though.
>>287093201Well the hardware market has changed a lot in the last 6 months, let alone a year.
Hey, is there some kind of list or database I can check out to see all the anime that got a 4K release?
>>287093347It may not be perfect but you can search on bluray.com by filtering for 4k and anime. You may need to set the region to Japan to get a more clear list of everything that's available, in print at least.
>>287093347Set to all countries by clicking the flag next to the search bar and reload the page. Alternatively select either Japan or your region to just find releases relevant to you.https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/search.php?keyword=&studioid=&videocodec=&disc=&yearfrom=&yearto=®ioncoding=&aspectratio=&aspectratio_original=&releaseyear=&synopsis=&retailerexclusive=&mpaa=&runtimemin=&runtimemax=&videoresolutionid=&sourceid=&subtitles=&audio=&upc=&ean=&asin=&ultrahd=on&casingid=&slipcoverfront=&slipcoverback=&Anime=on&submit=Search&action=search
>>287088922It’s BL rather than hentai, but Ai no Kusabi is a solid OVA with a legit great soundtrack and sci-fi atmosphere.
>>287094362oh yes this is perfectthanks anon
Is Demon City better than Wicked City Shinjuku? Production value is amazing, but as a movie, it doesn't work that well
>>287096962I thought Wicked City was much better than Shinjuku.
>>286928084only this guy can make karate chops look actually deadly
>>287092215>laptopI already have a powerful laptop and desktop. I do not need a laptop. I want a tablet.
>>287098327Well fuck me, then, I just got an iPad that I have not yet set up.What I found was a Dghrti 2025 on Amazon for $99.00 with 128GB memory, which is expandable to 2TB with an additional TF card. Has 24GB RAM.Frankly, you should go over to >>>/wsr/ or >>>/g/ for this sort of thing, though.
>>287098676I did. They didn't help. They just said "get a laptop" like fucking retards. Nobody on the planet seems to use tablets anymore.
>>287098727I am just getting into tablets, so I couldn't tell you anything with certainty. But I would just find something with expandable memory using a TF card, that way you can keep your stuff across different devices.It sounds like you are using it as a video equivalent of an e-reader.
>>287098858That's exactly what I'm using it for. Both an e-reader and media viewer. That's why I'm looking for:>headphone jack>SD card slot>OLED screenThat apparently does not exist in current year.
>>287099088Lenovo P11 Pro has all of those, but they are a bit pricey (over $300 for starters, but most go for $400-ish).The K10 Gen 2 is a downmarket version with an IPS LCD and that is about $200.
>>287099088just get a xiaomi it's like 600$ for a 1tb device
why is this so much better looking than the show?
Anons were not kidding when they said it was completely different than the show. it feels like two different shows. what was the demographic for this movie? this is like someone's all grown up fanfic. this is not a bad thing either
>hes a weeb now
>>286894341>>286928084
this cut transition was great. the mob 'devouring' her to black to reshape in to her body?
Interesting movie. i don't know how i feel about it though
>>287016095I was wanting to watch the short movie that was made about a decade before the TV series, but apparently that's lost?
>>287099239>Lenovo P11 ProHAHAHAHAHAHAHA>IPSNot meeting my requirements.>>287099377Got a link? Is it actually a tablet and not a fucking 2-in-1 with an attached keyboard or whatever?
>>287108199The P11 also won't play 10bit video. I suspect that's also important. There's only one tablet currently made that is has OLED/jack/SD slot and it's a chinkshit onexplayer super. You're going to have to pay 2K.
>>287108199Forgive me. I only follow tech when I need it.>>287108238There is always the option of requesting a shop to build something. It may cost more, though. My local computer shop builds their own computers, laptops and tablets (usually using donor shells for these), as well as do refurbishes of older tech using including their own special OS (more or less just a version of Windows XP or 7, but with antivirus ported from Windows 10 Pro or 11).I would suggest visiting some computer shops and inquiring if they have such a service for tablets.Perhaps you can send all your old files to a storage device and then inquire about refurbishing or rebuilding your current tablet.
>>287108327Maybe link me their website. I'll pay 1K for OLED/AMOLED, headphone jack, and SD card slot plus can play 10bit video >>287108238I shouldn't have to pay 2K for this.
>>287108466The store in question does not have a website. You must travel to their address or call them. I can always check for you if they still do tablets, since my last purchase was a refurbished Thinkpad from their stock nearly 3 years ago. It works fine and their virus protection upgrade works like a charm, even if it is Windows 7. I also know someone who ordered a very high end custom build and it is perfect.I wish for the jannies not to flag this as advertising, so I will attach the information in a pastebin. Excuse me for doxxing my general area... https://pastebin.com/gjgJCmXZIf you do decide to travel to the area, please let me know. We can go out to lunch and I can give you further information as far as places to find manga (in English and sometimes in Japanese, often for $5 or less per volume), if that is the case.
>>287108954I'll give them a call tomorrow. I have easy access to manga, both raw and scanlated, so I don't need any. I also don't need virus protection.
