Japan is going through its own Vaporwave renaissance recently.
Especially for PC-98 type of stuff.>>>/wsg/6119768
>>287245534They've always been a big fan.
>literally the worst anime in yearsWhy are you watching this?
Truly the Evangelion of the Lain genre of the Umineko medium.Likely AOTY, possibly AOTD.
>>287245637It sharpens you up for bit of the old ultraviolence
>>287245637>>287245674w-who do i believe??
>ironic weeb bait taken seriously by the japs
AOTY
>>287245637It will never beat Shiboyugi.
>>287245704me
>>287245534Vaporwave was a mainly english-speaking internet mouvement for most of 2010's.
>>287245637I'll take that over s-class lv999 gacha skill slow life thrown out of the hero's party strongest class in another world a thousand times over
love the clockwork orange references, but hopefully this was just on one ocassion and the ending will be MUCH different
>>287245738And now Japan is part of the conversation in a big way.
Carlbros we are here?
>>287245534I played the game back when it came out but this seems like a completely new thing. She's an idol now?
We need to make a watch/reading list for this.>Clockwork Orange>Lain>Shibou Yuugi
>>287245709Happens more often then you would think.
>>287245797I suppose this will tide us over until Cloudy Bitch
>>287245797Seems like Ueno has some competition
>>287245704In truth is great but also shit.
Smug retard erotic...
Nice, the MC has sex in this one!
We live in a society
>>287245954......do people really just pass out while still inside on top of the girl after sex?
Korea mentioned!
>social media is...le bad
>>287246057Yes actually
DO NOT OPEN
Do double eyelids even occur naturally in Asians?
People comparing this to Shibou Yuugi are making me regret not having watched it.Was it also artsy 2deep4u stuff, or is it just cause anons think both were bad?
Holy shit, it's literally me!
>>287245534Japan really is like a decade behind...
>>287245951
>>287246097If you have Jomon ancestry, you have the double eyelids; if it's Yayoi, you're doomed.
>>287246091Do I need to be a zoomer to understand this?
>>287246106To put it in perspective, in Shibou Yuugi there was a minute long scene that was just a still frame of the main character in bed. Draw whatever conclusion that you will from that.
>>287245704It's really bad and really good at the same time. A true Lain successor.
>>287245534I mean that oekaki loli artist has been drawing vapourware stuff for a while, right?Or was that something else? I'm not an expert on internet aesthetic trends.
>>287246151Gen alpha
>>287246139>>287246097There is a cosmetic surgery for this.
>>287246153A Ghost Story has a 5-minute long scene of a woman eating an entire chocolate pie in silence, and that was a masterpiece so
>>287246115it's the acid bath clown from the sufjan song
>>287246091>>287246151>>287246180>alpha humor
>>287246153I saw that webm, but I thought it was just production issues, not a real artistic decision.
Based unc politician knows her full name
>>287246177NGO is a bit too in-your-face, though.
>anime based on a mental illness game is equally mentally ill>this means its a bad anime somehowI dont get it
>>287245811Its not made by the author
I hate carrybait whores who don't put out so much
I already hate this anime just because of the type of people who will become its fans
Chudcore kino
67 mentioned
>>287246232it's translated differently in each languageand in all the languages it's him saying her nickname like a simpbet he even watches her streams and drains gov money on her
>>287246279It's the Shibou Yuugi of this generation
A show being heavy handed with its themes is honestly fine but this shit goes way too far with it and just feels like the author holding a seminar or some shit. Not even Anno at his peak finger-waggingness with 3.0+1.0 felt this preachy.
it insists upon itself
I hope this anime doesn't stop huffing its' own queefs because the moment it turns into sol with vchuba rejects it will become a boring nothingburger.
>>287246344with how unaware and uneducated most kids are nowadays, having them analyze subtext, metaphors and themes to decipher the author's intent is just too much.the literacy crisis isn't about kids not being able to read words, they can read them fine. they just cannot internalize information given to them and apply it to other concepts also presented to them. two sentences might as well be two different books to many people now.I watched a few different youtube videos from English majors going over what is the "literacy crisis"
>>287246097Iirc it's their e thot fad.
the moment this show slows down from being a hyper violent fever dream of commentary on social media and the unraveling inter-personal relationships is the moment is flops hard.
I liked the needy streamer game and the manga as well, despite the differences. I haven't seen much about this anime but from the little that I've seen posted and the trailers it looks like garbage. I'm not enthusiastic for the idea of this becoming the most popular rendition of the series.
>>287246459Well the writer of the game is writing the anime so it is the creator's vision
I can't believe overproduced music from doujin music scene and Sound Voltex charts of 2010's has become so popular. Sound Voltex (and osu!) was a mistake.
>>287246343As someone who hasn't watched it, I am fucking tired of candlewoods posting
>>287246459I played the game and this doesn't seem to be garbage, just very different from the game. It might end up being bad, but it's not soulless slop.
isnt the game filled with sex and drugs?How will the anime work
>>287245534Oh, yeah. I need to watch that.
>>287246594the first episode already has her popping pills and chugging bottles, aka the fastest way to suicide
This is a terrible show but I'm going to keep watching it solely for the /a/ threads lol. Might be the funniest experience of the season
>pops pills>gets drunk>cuts herselfwould you still fuck her, though?
>>287246406>>287246431My only problem this episode is there's too much talking. KAngel should shut the fuck up.
>>287246654my favorite arc of Sensitive Boy
>>287245991>>287245687>>287245863It's probably the surreal scenery that includes repeated objects, elaborate CG, and abstract paintings in the architecture; the real life objects, and the quick cuts.>>287246431>>287246374Yeah, I'm worried it will become more straightforward as it goes on. I'm genuinely excited about this.
>>287246707ah, that thread hadn't died yet...
So what's the story with the original game creator getting shitcanned but then brought back onto the project? Because I was trying to look into who the writer for this was but there is no credit for it with only the game creator being credited for the scenario.
I dunno why Carl fans are being competitive. This non-adaptation is endorsed by the game's writer and not a one sided hijack.
>>287245717[sad news] japanese have spoken
>>287246786>Japan finally has good taste.>Better taste than /a/, in fact.Amazing.
>>287246786nyooooooooooooooo
>>287246765Author is menhera
>>287246786Damn, didn't know Japan had an entire twitter account for itself.
>>287246786nico rankings are gunna be SOOO GOOD this week!
Would you begin pumping?
>>287246765The author is kind of a schizo so maybv they tried to drop him to make an actually watchable anime. Or maybe they just disagreed with something and he had an episode on xitter.
>>287246765oh yeah, didn't they kicked out the original creator of the scenario and still used it
>>287246786>>287246799I mean this is the exact same opinion /a/ has of it
>>287246786this is exactly the type of nonsense that troons will prop up as deep introspective art, kinda like that garbage Cruelty Squad game. it's absolutely meritless noise that is as deep as it seems, but people want to desperate assign a deeper meaning to so they go delving into shadows that don't exist to find meaning that was never there
>>287246786[maji yabai] it gets worse
>>287246654Only pump and dump, preferably with my bros.
>>287246786He's right but those are all positives.
>>287246786This guy either got filtered or felt called out by what he was watching. In any case it wasn't even that hard to follow, Jesus Christ.
>>287245534Only the top left is vaporwave.Good first episode though.
>>287246882cruelty squad had very good gameplay though
>>287246765it's the owners of the game that have beef with him, not the anime production side
Someone explain what even happens besides the bicolor hair girl being at work and then arriving her place with a black eye to get clapped.
>287246786So if I say it's amazing, then all of America has spoken?
>>287246952and exactly as artistic
*ahem*Yuri. Mehera. Sexxo.
>>287246654I can, no, I WILL fix her
>>287245797Until cloudy bitch releases and Bueno sama graces us with his work of art, I am here.
Yep it's cinema confirmed
>>287246786Carlbros... they're doing it again...
>>287245534isn't this a videogaym?
>>287245825>Karamazov Brothers
>>287247089Yep it's larp confirmed
>cutting in visible placesamateurs, you aren't menhera, you're performative
>>287246786Elevens are easily filtered by anything that isn't told explicitly to them, so no wonder there.
The great filtering has begun.
This has soul, so it's worth watching it to the end, even if it ends up being a 0/10.
>>287246882Never played cruelty squad, but everything I’ve seen of that game is awful. At least this anime is trying (and I'd argue succeeding) to look good.
>>287247197>This has soulthis has anti-soul, it's the most unoriginal forced thing I've seen in years
fucking garbage
There's no way they're keeping up the SHAFT-style editing for the entire series.
>>287246786This is 100% accurate but I'll probably still watch it just so I can shitpost about it once a week.
Forced soul and insufferable levels of pretense.Definitely my AOTS of the season so far.
>>287247222You don't know what you are talking about or what soul even means.
>>287245545S
>>287247293>it's got pastel colours and marble statues?>SOUL SOUL SOUSL SOULyea ok, tell us more
>>287247341Yes.
>femc used goodsDROPPED
>>287247366the mc is ame
>287246091fuck off
>>287247341It has soul because the original creator brought his vision to life and didn't just try to make something that appeals to the masses.
>>287247397irony poisoned commentary that's as subtle as a brick to the face isn't soul, it's the exact opposite. it's lazy storytelling by the uncreative who can't covey their points with good writing
>>287246786So it's good?
>>287245797The tutorial has concluded, please figure the rest out yourselves.
Making surface level obervations about otaku and social media culture to put food on the table
>>287247430>irony poisoned commentaryYou don't need to keep telling us that you know nothing about the game or the creator, we heard you the first time.
>>287246666you have 3 characters referencing the brothers karamazov about to slam dunk into the story where the mc is named 'angel', you better believe you're gonna get some babbling about mankind's relationship with divinity
>>287245534
>>287245797
>>287247197>soulChuck every aesthetic that's been popular with teenage girls on mainstream social media this past decade into a blender, along with a generic message about social media being detrimental to society, and this is what you get. It's trying so hard to capture a zeitgeist of modern internet culture, but by virtue of the nature of the modern internet, everything is just referential, unorganic and entirely fabricated.
>>287247430Quality has nothing to do with soul, newfag. Even the biggest hack could create a piece of art that will stick with you by putting passion into it.
episode 1>wtf this commentary is all so obvious, there's nothing subtle about it, this sucksepisode 12>wtf nothing is being explained, i don't get it, this sucks
>>287247476>heh, did you know, social media... bad?>heh, lil shocked aren't youi am le subverted
>>287247514Can't believe they're referencing the modern masterpiece already...
>>287247514the parallels...
>>287247549>>287247554carlmind
>>287247547Why do you continue embarrassing yourself? Have you played the game?
>>287247549>>287247554>heart shaped barrel/k/fags, care to comment?
>>287247586sorry you made an irony vn your entire personality
Anons cars is burning....
>>287247599So no, then.
>>287247598the barrel is the round purple part, the heart is just a shrowd
>>287247598doesnt matter barrel still round
I don't see how this compares with Shiboyugi, none of the characters are as sex as Carl.
>>287247599The sad thing is that you're much more ironically detached than the game or this anime, but you don't realize it.
They are still burning to this day...Are Carlfags going to take over these threads now?
>>287245797SupAlso, just looking at >>287246786 is enough to realize this will be the Carlfest of the season.>>287247549>>287247554Hivemind
Do I need to play the game to understand this?
>>287247682No, but you need to watch female streamers regularly.
>>287247682No, but you need to be female.
>>287247657Needy Carl Overdose
>>287247669NOOOO LADA*jumps inside*
>>287247682No but make sure you've watched Clockwork Orange
>>287247739Tried to once. So boring I actually fell asleep.
>>287247598like a true evil woman, there is a bullet behind the heart
>>287247718no... anything but that...
>>287247727I need Carl sexo so bad.
Truly this is the Lain of our generation. People will be talking about this show decades form now. Forums will exist just to ponder its complexities.
There is no beating this, AOTS confirmed. No idea where this is going though.
Only if we get KAngel in a bearsuit
This would be good if it wasnt so pseudo-intellectual and they out more effort in the animation.The whole japanese society is a hivemind and internet is full of bullies/onlookers feels so overdone.They couldve done more, i hope they do they improve instead of saying hivemind=bad.A bunch of the animation was unique sure but the parts that werent was pretty badThat said i love ame and will watch.
>>287245534I don't like this, all these references feel lazy and condescendingThis is just as lame as the worst of modern western media but instead of trying to be quirky it's trying to be intellectual
>>287247549>>287247554
Goddamnit, it's out, huh.
>>287247915BRAVO UENO-KANTOKU
>>287245825I dont get the appeal of clockwork orange, is it cause you sorta sympathise with the mc after hes evil, is brainwashed to be good and is punished for when he was bad? Like society doesnt forgive, it all wraps up too well, it feels artificial.
>>287247885Ame wasn''t even in the episode
>>287245825Add Higurashi and Mirai Nikki.
>>287247756It picks up past the halfway point, before then its just edge

Do anyone really enjoy references? Why do they keep insisting on putting them in anime?
>>287248063All of the above
>>287245534is this just the game made anime or its its own thing?
>>287247915>[CarlAngel]lol
>>287245989You don't?
>>287248063>>287248089Its objectively pretentious trash, but I like it.
>>287247682Yes, the anime story is happening outside of your pov during the game. You are already thrown into Ame's world.Most of the characters are animated-original.
>>287248107If you like it then it's not trash. Stand up for yourself.
So who got raped?Was it actually rape? Or did they just have sex normally and she didnt feel like it that time?
>>287248107>objectivelyBy what standard?
>>287248131No nigger, the writing is so bad it's insulting but the visuals are kind of interesting so you can still call certain aspects "good" and others "bad"
>>287248157>So who got raped?It all goes back to the year 1992...
>>287248157The man got emotionally raped because the woman tried to gaslight him into thinking he was raping her when she actually enjoyed it
>>287245811When the Switch version released, they added a new ending upon reaching 9.999.999 subs. The understanding is this anime is what's happening after that. with the Vtuber group and Kache being the "spiritual retelling" of Kangel and Ame's story respectively.
>>287248157>Or did they just have sex normally and she didnt feel like it that time?More this, you can't rape when you're in a commited relationship.
>>287248095It's its own thing.
>>287248095The game is a closet VN where you sit at a computer screen and skype call with your streamer gf and then play a management sim with her nico channel. There's barely any "story" you just choose between protecting her mental health at the expense of her channel, or making her debase herself for numbers.So it's safe to assume whatever the fuck this anime is will be some kind of loose exposition on that idea.
Just give me another yandere ending, please and thank you. Bless
Unironically if it was yuri or yuribait it would have worked
>>287247885that part is not even that long. and its episode 1. of course, they need to give background as to why these girls are insane.
>>287248285What if it was a bi threesome?AmexKangelxp-kunThey all inhabit the same body, there could be cheating, loyalty, and all sorts of romantic stuff while sharing the same body.I feel like its a weird enough concept to work.
Why didnt they make kangel wacky instead of perfect and idol like
>>287248107I know you liked it (I did too) but I take a bit of umbrage at the "pretentious" claims.The author is an autist (an actual autist) that lived through poverty and used the internet and prescription drugs to cope with his depression. He wrote several books on his condition and on the crazy people he met online, and the role the internet itself has in modern society. He put his heart and soul in the game and now in the anime, as it's clear it's a subject that's dear to his heart. This first episode wasn't even that hard to follow, and the topics the anime will touch upon are pretty obvious even if you didn't pay attention.How is that pretentious?
The anime needs more ame
>>287245637what do I watch this season?
Yes hello friends i am pchan and I'll be showcasing all 2000 different variants of the sex overdose ending with my very cute wife miss overdose, please enjoy!
>>287248362honestly I wanna say it could work, but from the new world is the only anime I knew of that had the bi thing going for (but no threesomes I can remember off)but the whole schizo threesome ntr is the kind of thing only fujimoto would think and be able to pull off
>>287248387>How is that pretentious?It isn't pretentious. That's just the buzzword people use whenever a piece of fiction does anything unconventional.
Why are they still not revealing KAngels VA? Everyone can tell it's Sally Amaki and they even put part of her face in the anime
Was this episode a stealth Samsung Fold series advertisement?
>>287248536more like samsung foid haha hahaHAHAAHAHAHAHAHA
>>287247682It didn't seem like you need to to me.
I like it, it's different. The animation is a little janky in some scenes and I noticed some shots getting reused, but some of the other scenes are really nice to look at and the 3D animation wasn't bad. The story is about what I expected, though I'm not sure how all of these new characters are going to pan out. Hopefully it's entertaining. I'll watch it/10.
>>287248491Because KAngel is heckin' REAL. We don't play around with that 中の人 crap around here.
>>287245534Even the game not this schizoic mess
>>287248451Yeah I'm starting to believe it too."Pretentious" should be only used when it's painfully obvious a show is all style and no substance. Which is not Needy Girl's case.
>>287247319E
>>287248387Instead of telling a story most of the episode is effectively an animu girl reading some sophomoric faggot's blog post.
>>287248549Preparation complete!
I was invested in the first half, but then latter end was just a talking heads interview and then something something russian idols? It completely lost me
>>287248387Not him but lots of japanese media i guess tries to be deep by critiqing japanese culture and its almost always>bullying is bad>passive bystanders enabling harm>society is a hivemind Its nothing new, everytime the mc is potrayed as above it by shitting on them saying im better than you for not doing that, some shows might tackle the subject for some character's backstory or a one off.This episode seems to go all into it with flashy visuals while just monolouging and adding nothing really new.Its very surface level in its observation while barely touching the issues in a unique or nuanced way
So Karl and Karazov are internet personalities?Who's the girl who got dicked? Karl in real life?
Waiting for Pewdiepie cameo.
Isnt carl a boy's name?
surprised they didn't buy some vtuber watchalong #ads
labyrinth screensaver spotted
>>287245580I'm noticing
I'm gonna have to watch this a couple more times.
>>287248095Completely original with the game as a very loose background setting. You can watch it with 0 knowledge of the game and get basically the same experience or maybe even better because you don't have anything to compare it toOr just play the game instead since it's way better
>>287248605The thing is, the MC is not "above it", at least in the game. She is a total mess and the game doesn't portray her as more sympathetic than she is.
>>287248607The character introduction has concluded, please figure the rest out yourself.
Is P-chan a dude or a girl? I'm not going to watch yuritrash.
>>287248759>majoring in nail artNo wonder she wants to die lol
>>287248770He's her boyfriend.
I love you too ame-chanMWAH
>>287248770P is a (you)
>>287248770She's her girlfriend.
>>287248770He's/she's their tulpaImaginary boyfriend
>>287248594>>287248605The anime appears to be a sequel to one of the endings of the game, so I think it would be wise to play that one first.That would probably help add a lot of nuance to the topics covered in this first episode. As someone that loved the game, this episode was just about everything I could've asked for.
>>287248607it was just a girl corrupted by the kangel of death
>>287248665Stream that film if you're so great
>>287248770It's (you) who isn't real.
>>287248770I am P
>>287248788She probably like what she does, but this kind of jobs are precarious.
would you an ame?
>>287248594i feel like KAngel's placid interview monologue is a setup for the reveal of who she actually is and how she actually acts. surely the irony is not lost on you?
>>287248900Mentalspicy girls can't be fixed
>>287248923who said anything about fixing?people can be broken together
>>287245954There is other show this season what started with MC having sex
>>287248759>280 followersdamn what a loser lmao
>>287248821Damn I didn't know girls could be as schizo as me
>>287248900Would you not?
>>287247885Is it overdone? It can't be more overdone than romcoms, battle shonen, or isekai so I don't see it.
I watched three Jean-Luc Godard movies for THIS?
>>287248770It's literally me
So... this is just Perfect Blue but somehow even less subtle?
>>287248900I want a blowjob from a girl with a tongue piercing so bad...
This needs to be a proper psychological horror to be good. I want this to be pure schizokino.
>>287248999I dunno man, I just don't find the feeling of metal particularly sexual. What if it got stuck on something?
A lot of yapping from nyalra on the episode https://note.com/nyalra2/n/n8e040950947b
>>287248770I dont know how to explain but we the player(you/me) are playing a game called needy streamer overdose from steam or wherever you got it from.When you boot the game however Needy streamer overdose is actually an OS that Ame/Kangel is running and using and pretending to be P her manager/lover.P is you, but its also ame/kangel.
anon look having fun, gonna watch
>>287249035it makes for a nice rolling sensation and the metal is warm
>>287248682qrd? i don't get it

>>287248770P-chan was always (You). Don't you remember being P-chan?
Which of the posts in this thread was written by kAngel?
>>287248387nta but the issue for me is that the game was much better at adressing these questions about "the role the internet itself has in modern society." the anime didn't need a fucking boring rape scene that couldn't even get my dick hard, it needs to be GOOD.And the game had clever ways to do it, by making you tardwraggle ame into success and showing you the many pitfalls she can fall into during her aim for success and viewership, while also having scenes where it's not all "streaming and stream otaku is le..BAD??" things like Ame genuinely loving that a little girl looked up to her and hugging her in one of her lives or how ame would speak from the heart and say how doing streams allowed her to be her ideal person that wasn't a fucking mess irl.I dunno I just feel that anime in general just can't tackle this shit, the game was good as it was.
I expected shitty pseudo intellectual bullshit with trippy visuals and it's exactly what I got. And I'm all for it.0/10 can't wait for the next episode.
>>287246344>but this shit goes way too far with it and just feels like the author holding a seminar or some shitthe episode felt like a youtube essay with some good editing
Why hurt the cat
>>287249193oh boy i can't wait to see 1 gigajillion youtube reaction essays on this show on how it's Society or soem shit
As a big fan of the game I really liked the first episode, even if it was as subtle as throwing a pack of crack cocaine and glitter in your face. I do hope they tone down a bit on "we live in a society" in the next episodes, though.The full OP is really good, btw:https://files.catbox.moe/wl8oo8.flac

>>287248387I think people for whatever reason have a hard time discerning pretentious and preachiness. The anime pretty much says for 24 minutes straight "excessive partaking of internet and social media and letting that dictate your real world views / interactions = bad", which I think people object to because... yeah, that's pretty obvious and there's no lack of media calling that out, so really what is this anime trying to say?
>>287248759I fucking love Kache
>>287249257who's singing in the second part?
Why is the 2d animation do bad?Everything else was fine and unique
Reading the thread the game really nostradamus predicted your reactions to the anime its astonishing
>>287248788As someone that nearly picked being a history major (until my dad scolded me into choosing IT instead) I feel her pain.
>>287245797This is the new KINO show of the Season, right?
>>287249436Except you actually didn't waste your time, got a good job and didn't grow up to be a whore?
>>287245797Someone post the .webmYou know the one.
>>287249501
Would you fuck this cat?
>>287249468Kek, pretty much, got myself a wfh IT job where half of my work hours include watching anime/games/movies/etcLooking back my dad really did me a favour in giving me shit over me considering switching for a history major.
>>287249623I hope you call your dad and thank him at some point coming from someone who did not follow his dads advice and chose a fucking geography degree instead
>>287249324If something is giving off the intentions that it's saying something super deep and profound when in reality it's not doing that at all and only stating obvious observations that anyone is able to come to the conclusion of, can't you call that pretentious? I guess it comes down to how charitable you want to be with your reading of the authorial intent but this does seem like textbook pretentiousness to me.
>>287249634damn she's literally me
>>287249193Well, I think that boils down to the game being a game, a non-linear, interactive media; an anime series is both linear and non-interactive, so inevitably it's gonna feel different. Personally, I think the writer is being smart by setting it after the game's events (apparently); he's avoiding a direct comparison with the game, and at the same time has a very real chance to expand on its themes and tell a story that's more appropriate to a tv show.
>>287249583I'd rather Carl
>>287249552Wait a fucking minute...
>>287248939>only 11 les than meh-ha...
>>287249583i mean i can if you really want
Ame looks really generic trash outisde of her game pixel art style
>>287249761king
>>287249324If you played the game you'd know it's not just that. Wisely, it also highlights what's good about the internet, and how to avoid/learn to live with the ugliness you can find everywhere.It's just the first episode so I trust that the anime will have a similar depth and nuance in the coming episodes.
>had [REDACTED] with p-chan all night last night tried doing it from behind as a joke and............... it was not bad actuallyWhat did Ame mean by this?

>>287249778No shit. I don’t even know why this got an anime adaptation.
>>287249837It feels quite Boogiepop-esque with how they're going about the musical references
>>287245534I haven't played the game and only seen short gameplay clips, but I liked this psychotic anime. I understood almost nothing, but the reflections on modern society hit pretty hard.Do you guys have a webm or mp4 of the beginning where the hostess slut talks about mass surveillance and surveillance capitalism?
>>287249869I don't have a coherent argument for this but I feel like boogiepop had a lot more "taste" for it's musical references. It feels more shoehorned in here, but I'm too low IQ to elaborate further on why I feel that way.
>>287249664Even better anon, I live with my dad to this day and always buy him lots of stuff every month (and helping paying the bills)There is no greater gratitude than keeping company to your parents

>>287250137>war has changed>It's no longer about nations, ideologies, or ethnicity. It's an endless series of proxy battles, fought by mercenaries and machines.War--and it's consumption of life--has become a well-oiled machine.>War has changed. ID-tagged soldiers carry ID-tagged weapons, use ID-tagged gear. Nanomachines inside their bodies enhance and regulate their abilities.

The age of deterrence has become the age of control, all in the name of averting catastrophe from weapons of mass destruction, and he who controls the battlefield, controls history.>War…has changed.

>>287250301>menheraYes>kino?Remains to be seen.
I don't get all the complaints about it being pretentious. Even if it doesn't stick the landing, it's not another isekai or romcom show, which already makes it a more interesting seasonal watch by default.
>>287250265If you mean what it changes from the game, it's not an adaptation at all. It seems to be a sequel to the "Internet Runaway Angel: Be Invoked" ending.
>>287245717>>287247112>>287247669Will the NGO threads become the new Shibouyugi threads?
>anons complaining about this not being subtle as if that isn't 99% of all anime ever made.
>>287250355"well at least it's not isekai" that's not exactly glowing praise
>>287250137>overpopulation is a plot pointlmao who was the fucking dinosaur boomer who wrote this?
>>287250137I wonder if we'll ever move past sitting around staring at the nihilistic cesspit we've crafted for ourselves. Sitting around and pointing at it and saying, "this is so bad" while doing nothing about it and continuing to live lives devoid of meaning or spirituality. The turn of the century led to an interesting experiment, but I think that it's obvious now that this is going nowhere good. Oh well, at least Ame-chan is cute.
>>287245534Watching this anime as a dude feels very strange. I cannot relate to any of the subjects it tries talking about.
>words words words words >artistic shot>words words words words That was really bad.
>>287250419it's a dystopia, it's going to have dystopic memes in it.
>>287250372naruhodo>"Internet Runaway Angel: Be Invoked" endingoh so it was a switch exclusive ending
>>287250494It's not exclusive, they added the other endings to all versions.
>>287250428>but i did eat breakfast this morning?
>>287250532oh shitneed to check it out, it's been a while since i've played it
>>287249257>dostoevsky mentioned in the lyrics
>>287250428I'd maybe relate more if I was a zoomer. I've never been into any idol culture, and I've never followed a vtumor in my life (outside of friends posting some random clip or something) so I really just don't get this idol worship culture.My own internet relationship involves random shitposting on 4chan, then a couple of old forums I'm still a part of it, and then just random normalfag stuff like banking or booking holidays or whatever.I feel bad for the current gen who feels compelled to partake in the instragram or twitter or whatever social media ratrace, but at the end of the day they're doing so willingly. In the words of Tyler >Nigga just walk away from the screen
>>287250535Better to be retarded than to get easily depressed over shit like social media and paying attention to what normalfags do

Ironically enough the threads for this are some of the worst on the board.
>>287250751wait for the trendy retards to get filtered so we can have proper discussions
>>287250751Why is that ironic?
I remember buying the game during its release because it looked interesting and found it fun for few playthroughs. How's the anime connected to the game, looks like fuck all. I remember reading that the original creator get basically scammed for the production of the anime?
>>287250402It's because they feel called out by the message or it hits them close to home and they're trying to detach.
>>287250846Taking the eva 3.0+1.0 defense approach I see
>>287250418You still can't say why it's bad though
>>287250813You will find the answers by scrolling up.
>>287250813it seems to be a continuation from one of the endings. I didn't play it so I couldn't tell you which one but >>287250372 seems to know his stuff.

>>287250947I am ambivalent
>>287246097Yes, and it's not even super rare.
>>287246097Yes, it's considered quite attractive
>>287250892To be fair, in that ending it's heavily implied the literal apocalypse happens. We know for a fact two things:1. Ame gets 9.999.999 followers in the beginning of the anime, the unlock condition for said ending.2. She is the "number one streamer" in the world, which also happens in that ending.So two things could be happening in the anime:1. KAngel ascended to God(angel?)hood and is some sort of entity in this afterlife2. This is completely new stuff and does not continue anything, the game's 30 days are over and she became famous, no supernatural stuff happening.3. Anything else Nyalra might have come up with.
ok but why is the show's name in all caps? is this how it's supposed to be?
>>287250947what the fuck?
Why are people comparing this to Shiboyugi? Is it just because it's the only ryona anime with girls that aired this year?
>>287250372>"Internet Runaway Angel: Be Invoked" endingI got every ending (except SMT) on release and apparently this is one of the endings they added later on.

I'm 99% certain this is a direct referenced to this jirai-kei streamer named Ichigo that streamed herself committing suicide in this exact fashion.
>>287251801no thats why im asking questions?
>>287251958I watched that webm, it was fuckedheard it was really big deal in Japan
>>287251958that's a pretty common suicide methodshe took off her shoes before jumping though
wich needy girl wud u overdose?
>>287251958That reminds me of those 2 JKs that died a few years ago, with one of them crying while the other kept convincing her to jump.It still fucks me up...
>>287251958>>287251999>>287252043So you guys gonna post sources or what?
>>287252004I think the shocking thing was that she killed herself over some trivial bullshit like she chased a fuckboi who moved on after she let him hit
>>287252082she didn't die btwgot hospitalized and then privated her twitter immediately
>>287251958Also saw it.
>>287252068you too retarded to copypaste "jireikei suicide stream" into google?
>>287248568KK
>>287251731All of those are in the episode.
>>287252101after hearing that the guy who was the inspiration for Omar in The Wire survived a 5th story jump out the window (he appeared in the show, he was walking around just fine) gives me hope that she'll be ok and get fixed
>>287252101source? her death was talked about for months online
>>287250428>>287250617Do you have a girlfriend or wife? Vtubers give you a nice GFE, they always make you feel good, they make you relax and smile and laugh and forget the evils of this world. Naturally, you want to support them and give them the same by reciprocity.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CSzTtmmNZ9EImagine that this isn't a man using Miku to sing it, but was actually Miku herself telling you this:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kbNdx0yqbZEWouldn't you feel flustered and desirous to reciprocate?

>>287246344>>287246279>>287246406Authors these days are very didascalic because a lot of anime watchers don't understand anything of what they watch, they don't even understand sloppy Isekai themes. Its tiresome, they watch a billions of anime and don't recognize tropes, repetitions, themes. Authors usually are smarter, but they don't get that they produce slop from retards, they can't educate anyone. Anno is the perfect example, Evangelion produced just secluded shippers as a fandom.
>>287252887The point is lurk moar, fag.
>>287252885I have no idea what BPDemon means.
>>287252370nyo...
>>287252946not an argument
>>287252932I think even the dumbest person can recognize tropes and archetypes, given how heavily anime relies on them. That's not really the problem.
Is this just "A Clockwork Streamer"
Modern Penguindrum.
>>287252833what the fuck is brawl stars
>>287252713ask yourself if the eagle would bother to teach the gopher why it flies anonif you have to ask then my reasons are beyond your understanding
>>287252912I think with roleplay, no matter what you are writing or character pov you are trying to immerse yourself into, there is still an additional layer of separation between you and whatever you are writing.Skinwalk sheds away with that layer which many won't ever even consider stepping into (me included)
>>287253016Do they? Given how easily the average consumer slurps up the tropes and archetypes without any variation or semblance of originality I'm not sure they do
>>287252972The argument is that you couldn't even understand the argument, so you should shut up and keep your arrogance in check until you have spent enough time in the anime / Japanese media community that you are wise enough to understand the argument.Nobody likes explaining to retards why 2+2=4, especially especially when the retard is arguing that multiplication is trash.

>>287252932I'm gonna let you in on a secret: normalfags have never been able to understand themes that aren't directly stated to their face. It's not a symptom of normalfags becoming dumber. It's just a symptom of you seeing more normalfag opinions.

>>287253113No, they are 100% dumber. I just learned they haven't taught phonics in school for years and instead kids relied on learning the shapes of words and associating it with whatever it meant. meaning whenever they came across new words they were just lost

>>287253188>>287252887>>287253110Okay nta and the football game I am watching right now is boring as fuck right now so I got time to wasteBasically what I understood here is that what anon here is trying to say >>287252187 vtuber gf shit isn't the domain of zoomers, 30/40/50/60 easily can get attached to those and contribute to vtuber sluts tax income, the graph is just there to explain how complex the actual age/gender ratio for these kind of things actually is (I personally thought touhou was something for 30 years old men like me, also didn't know girls didn't play it as much)Or at least that what I managed to get.
>>287253116remember kids it's down the road, not across the street
>>287253328Then current staff don't help, we got a new spam filter and every board slowed to a crawl.
>>287253330That's what I thought too, but hololive on the graph is distinctly below the 30 year old line, so isn't that proof it is for the younger demographics?
>>287253330That's right. However, most likely the other anon is a faggot pretending not to understand, or a massive retard who won't even understand your explanation either.

>>287253481What other franchises on there are primarily about vtubers?

>>287253501You damn retard, kek.
Would I like this if I have fallen in love with multiple Japanese hikkikomori streamers over the years (I am 36 btw)
>>287253541Probably not, because this is focusing on the bad sides of it rather than the good sides (which are the reasons why you would have fallen in love).It's like the Oshi no Ko manga/anime. It isn't idol fans that like it but normalfags, because the premise and the entire plot is about shitting on the idols and saying they are filthy whores behind the fans' backs.
>>287253595Nta but where should I personally start if I want to get into this rabbit hole for the good side of it that?I despise artists like aka who are too bitter to actually enjoy the things they critique like idol stuff, the overdose game was refreshing for not going into the deep end of it.
>>287253538I really don't know why you're being so overly defensive like you have some point to prove. It's very childish >>287253536That's also well below the 30's line so it certainly feels like it's a young persons game
>>287253675You can just watch Hololive, any talent that you like. I personally like indie ASMR vtubers as well. I would tell you to start with clips but for a while now there's a flood of channels with really poor quality clips and shitty translations.>https://holodex.net/Animation channels might also serve as an introduction:https://www.youtube.com/@momonofuaotukihttps://www.youtube.com/@momonofuen1427https://www.youtube.com/@Katakurikohttps://www.youtube.com/@AliceMagichttps://www.youtube.com/@AmHolohttps://www.youtube.com/@HoloAnimehttps://www.youtube.com/@kai_en8684https://www.youtube.com/@%E3%82%AB%E3%82%A4-w3dhttps://www.youtube.com/@MochimikoENhttps://www.youtube.com/@mochimikoohttps://www.youtube.com/@9amENhttps://www.youtube.com/@Tripl3enhttps://www.youtube.com/@Tripl3jphttps://www.youtube.com/@harutimu_415https://www.youtube.com/@wocakihttps://www.youtube.com/@utakata_lullaby
>>287253786>You can just watch Hololive
>>287253692The childish one is you, playing the fool and pretending not to understand. Stop projecting.
>>287253839What were you expecting? Hololive is the biggest and most popular for a reason. It's an introduction for most.
>>287253675I'm not sure why you would want to, since the game and anime are basically a big warning sign that this shit is not good for your mental health.
>>287253839I love you Elaina!
>>287253911vtubers in general are fucking cancer>>287253980anon?
>>287253839>>287254050In this house we love Elaina and Carl!
I just watched it and it seemed like pretentious garbage
>>287254050I love Carl too!
>>287251975watch it, it's good
I just watched it and it seemed like intellectual kino
>>287253595>they are filthy whores behind the fans' backsI mean...
>>287245797I'm here. Calm down, though.
I used to regularly watch chuubas until 2023. Nowadays I barely do it, but sometimes I get nostalgic over those times. I don't know why.
>>287254293Same, I was there during the rise of Hololive between 2019 and 2021, the /vt/ Hololive Global threads were some of the most fun I had on this website, and I kinda stopped watching Hololive as a whole when Council debuted.
>>287253786Appreciate it anon, thank you.>>287253957Eh I am not gonna throw money at them, and my mental health is pretty good too it's always nice to check something different that is outside what I usually check.For me those useless warnings are for the braindead retards that are already too deep in to get out, like no shit obsessing over some stranger or vtuber that doesn't even know you is a syndrome of a deeper issue.
>>287250137Does she like being dicked
>>287254346I started to dip out of Hololive in late 2022, and yeah, the first year of /vt/ was pretty damn fun.
Finally saw the first ep, high point was kangel schizo rambling and the way she and the interviewer bonded over fps games, plus the whole Karamazov kekMy only complain is that they need to go even more schizo into it, but so far I am looking forward to see more.
>>287245534>OhisashiburiI'll watch it for her.
>>287248383Yeah the anime missed the point that kangel's actual charm in the game isn't that she is perfect and idol like, she TRIES to be but isn't actually good at it, kangel is almost an early example of a proto girl failure before it became famous, hell the entire merch streams she can do in the game is all about her fucking it up or talking shit about the merch she is supposed to be selling and the audience loving it because it's way more authentic than some soulless merch selling.She has lots of near misses and her making quick corrections to avoid making a scandal or lose viewers.It's such an easy fix too all this anime needs to do is either ramp up the Yuri (the easy, lazy method) or get kangel/ame to do some retarded stuff asap (which would take some better writing chops, ignoring some of the nonsensical edginess they are going for)Anyway not like there is anything better to watch anyway so I'll stick with this one
>>287251539NTA, but it was not directed in the same way. Why bringing it up, instead of comparing it to other anime with more artsy direction? Are you one of those girls...?
>>287248605Yeah, it's an anime who arrived way too late to start finger pointing about the ills of streamer idols, it worked for the game because the tardwrangler aspect of keeping ame semi-functional and successful was fun.If the anime fails with the nips it won't be because it's pretentious or not, it just arrived too late for it to matter.
