Truly the Serial Puella Magi Neon Genesis Penguindrum Yuugi no Komonogatari of the current era.
>>287309667How does the show even work? Cause in the game you’re playing as her manager/boyfriend right? Is the show gonna have multiple routes and endings just like the game?
First for pretentious.
>drinking Milk>2026No one does this, Kache-sama.
>>287309707they're a bit old fashioned
>>287309707I drink Kache-sama's milk.
One episode in and they’ve already made the player the bad guy…
I watched manly play the game 4 years ago as I'm usually bad with these kinds of games.Kinda just... liked the anime? Idk, maybe a "me" issue as I have a tendency to like other anime that people like to call "word salad" and "pretentious"Also might as well play the game now, gonna buy it.>>287309768NEET rapist? that's an anime original and not related to Ame/KAngel
>>287309667could've just suck to the character designsiunno why they needed this whole obtuse thing
Would you?
Just the name of the thing sounds like something some retarded indian suit thought up would "fit" in the with the "modern" anime watcher
>>287309680It's set after KAngel got her follower goals so it's about the greater scope effects of becoming a mega streamer or something.
Interviewer-san a cute.
>>287310298Imagine the menhera yandere lesbian sex...
>>287310313Imagine nothing happening because that's what lesbian sex looks like.
I really don't know how to judge it yet. The karamazov shit is definitely something i didn't like and don't want to see more of, Kache's part wasn't bad. KAngel feels like it's going to be secondary in this tho
>>287310298interviewer clearly doesn't like her job and envies kangel
>>287309667
Couldn't make it past the first five minutes.This is peak "watch it through the threads' screenshots" anime.

This anime feels like exactly the type of thing Cubism was (supposedly) critcising>>287312529Truly a picasso made out of lies ...
>>287312529Carlbros we are so back
>>287310457>I really don't know how to judge it yetit's a commercial product trying to be a criticism of something it belongs to for profitit's shit

>>287313066She didn't even resist, how was it rape?
>>287313066I don’t like that they made her guy friend scum. In the game you can be good or abusive.
>>287309707Milk...bar?
>>287309751Me and my droogs waiting for the next episode.
>another show where men are evil Lame. We already have Oshi no Ko
>looks down on slut coworkers that fuck rich men raw and have fun, some might even get pregnant and never work again>goes home to a loser that beats her upwhy are femoids like this?
>>287313411It’s a little unfortunate because in the video game one of the endings was just her having so much sex with you she becomes a devoted nympho wife
>>287313462Anon, you don't exist. You're only in her head.
>>287313462kache is not ame
>>287313411either "omg shes just like me fr" or "I can fix him to stop raping me"
Open up wide
>>287314224The unholy trinity.Kangel is not Kache.Kangel is Ame.Kache is not Ame.They are all whores.
>>287313299Dont worry next episode he will be super nice. He is the hot/cold abusive type.
>>287313299In the game (You) are a literal imaginary friend
I really love it, but it’s probably not the kind of anime that would click with the usual NicoNico audience.
Does this sum up the series?
When will Zero no Maria be adapted into anime?We need more denpakino.
>>287315823Anything better than that crap I just watched, it felt like the Mall Ninja of denpa>>287315774Honestly, kinda. Only missing the 3deep5u social commentary about obvious stuff everyone knows already

>>287312529Found one with magical destroyers for comparison
I don't remember what magical destroyers was about
I never was in Shibou Yuugi's threads, please somebody explain who is Carl and why that name was chosen.
>>287321595Carl is the MC and that's her name.
>>287322029But her name is Yuuki (幽鬼).
>>287309896>Kinda just... liked the anime? Idk, maybe a "me" issue as I have a tendency to like other anime that people like to call "word salad" and "pretentious"Personally I just don't really care much for any of the characters so far, I liked Ame because her fuck ups were fun to watch.Also the whole "streamer culture bad/neet obsessed otaku subhumans are part of the problem" is nothing new, like no shit being a streamer is a scam and only the 1% actually get something good out of it, everyone else gets stressed or feels like killing themsleves
>>287322073Not sure where you got that false info from. Here's the real answer.
>>287322130Thank you.
I didn't have a bad time but it feels like the staff are just leveraging the game's popularity to do their own thing except with guaranteed ROI thanks to the existing audienceit's probably normal and not that scummy, but if this keeps up I'd assume fans are going to feel deceived
>>287322512redditors are already eating this up as usual
>>287322512Honestly didn't understand what the fuck I was watching.All I wanted was some Ame-chan schizoing out.
>>287322512I think there are three main groups of people watching this.1. People who have not played the game but picked up it for whatever reason.2. People who played the game, got some minor endings and a couple major ones and stopped there.3. People who played the game and got all the endings.For better or for worse, the anime seems to have been made for people in group 3. People in group 1 are confused as hell and some don't even know Chouten-chan is Ame, people in group 2 might be confused why this is the direction they are taking, people in group 3 might be the only ones really enjoying it, but not necessarily.
>>287322130heh, that's hilarious
>>287322073What are you talking about?
>>287309667I haven't watched this show, I only entered the thread because I saw a reference to AOTY. Are we still burning to this day?
>>287323127Getting all the endings doesn't necessarily change the viewing experience.
>>287323446Yes we are. This is the Cloudy Bitch waiting room.
>>287322073Wrong, her name is 友樹(Yuuki). She's not a ghost, that's silly.

This is the ED cover art apparently.I don't understand why menhera cut themselves but it's pretty hot
What the fuck did I just watch?Is this going to be AotY or a 3/10?
>>287328830Both.
>>287328830Yes.
>>287328830Yeah
>>287328830No.
>Bipolar main girl>Bipolar fansBit in this.
>>287328194Moegi's flinching is so brutal. It's like she feels pure terror...
>>287329189You shut your damned mouth, Kyara loved her.
>>287329189While true, the secret is that she wants to feel it. It's a fear fetish.
>>287329262Also true. This is a story about a deranged love.
Moegi would have a single digit follower count.
>>287309680>Cause in the game you’re playing as her manager/boyfriend right?The true ending of the game implies that you were always just a figment of her imagination that she created out of loneliness and that the game is essentially just her fantasizing different routes she could have taken in her career
>>287329299Moegi would go viral for clips of her breaking down.
>>287322512All the scripts are written by the original writer, though. He was heavily involved in the entire series
>>287327482I watched that last season. Are the shows that similar?Feels like they're two pretty different genres but I guess both anime are visually interesting?
Yuki's show is over.You can stop pretending to like it.
>>287329642Who the fuck is Yuki?
>>287329651>he doesn't know Yuki
>>287329642It's still burning to this day.
>>287329672That's Yukki.
why does the game have two different names
>>287329751Oh, that's why they're in this thread.
>>287327482I was thinking of making a Carl thread for Carl day, but it seems I don't need to
>>287327522fine, okay, stop begging already
>>287329751Girl overdose is original name, and the other one is name under which English version of game was released. Apparently west people are too sensitive for original name.
>>287309667>aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa anime has raaaaaaaaape>watch the episode>it's boyfriend and girlfriend having sexGet the fuck out of here faggot
>>287329751Needy Girl Overdose is the real title, but then troons (no really) on the Steam forum caused a ruckus over the use of the word overdose so the title for the western release was censored.
>>287329997Why change the girl part too? Wouldn't it just be Needy Girl Overload then? What a ridiculous culture. I hope this nonsense ends someday, future generations can look back on it and wonder what the fuck was going on.
Ame-chan is so cute
Episode 2 preview
What other series did the directors of this and Shibouyuugi direct? I know most of /a/ hates that stuff because they seem pretentious but I love pretentious shit. t. one of the five anons that watch GoHands anime
>>287329751I had heard it was to stop people having their videos/streams taken down because YouTube, etc, was flagging "Girl Overdose". The other anons are probably correct too
>>287330148Shibou Yuugi's director Ueno previously did Gimai Seikatsu which is a must watch if you love the "pretentiousness", similarly slow and introspective.NEEDY is Nakajima's series director debut.Both are pretty young creators.
>>287330375Ueno is young? But he looks based ugly bastard core.
>>287330384Meant mostly experience wise but 34 isn't that old...
>>287330033Look at the colour pallette in >>287329751 and you'll probably realize why a militant and oversensitive outrage bloc decided the world 'girl' needed to be censored.
>>287310292So is this a sequel of the game?
>wahhh this poor girl that was solely responsible for all the decisions she made and is now facing the consequences of all of her poor life choices>feel bad for her wahhh, men are so hecking evilAbsolute slop
>>287330536Moegi did nothing wrong!
>>287330536Having played the game, it's pretty much played for laughs how two-faced Ame is. A lot of the humour is derived from either her being a hypocrite or being two-faced
>>287330536i talk like this
>>287309667A bit too preachy for me even if I agree with the author
>>287330536>wahhh this poor guy that was solely responsible for all the decisions he made and is now facing the consequences of all of his poor life choices>feel bad for him wahhh, women are so hecking evilI get it now... it all makes sense...
>mfw Ame was Lain all along>mfw no face
>>287330585Uh oh, there's been an understanding. Someone thought he was the main character.
>>287330171But Japanese streamers used Needy Girl Overdose on their stream titles just fine. All of the promotional materials for the anime are also using NGO with no issue.
>>287330630I'd wager they're just not getting reportedIt wouldn't surprise me if it was only in the West that people were getting reported over it for obvious reasons
>>287330650So the west being oversensitive again
>>287330630>>287330650 (Me)The title was also changed in China, although I couldn't tell you what their one means as I don't know the language. Officially they never gave a reason for the change
I love this song so much
>>287330084>Karamazov episodeyawn
>>287330585I thought his problem was being artifical human, something he could never fix.
>>287330084when is it coming out?
>>287330873Sunday morning, 00:30 JST
>>287330533That's correct, it's a sequel. Someone mentioned it's a sequel of a specific ending but I can't confirm or deny that.
>>287330738Bless...
Anyone know the name of the song that kangel sings that startles the office worker into dropping his phone off the building?
I wish I could be as emotionally invested in a hobby as this dude...
Are people not familiar with the source material meant to be able to follow along?
>>287331380Right now nobody is meant to be able to follow along.
>>287331380I played the game and I have no idea what's going on kek
>>287331208She's just singing part of INTERNET OVERDOSE, but slowerhttps://youtu.be/BnkhBwzBqlQ?si=xOPTa9l_MoDfNRqH&t=69From 1:09 onwards. The lyrics are basically about how how both positive and negative affirmation on social media (likes and dislikes) are both poison, but people crave it anyways
>>287330084I don't give a FUCK about those russian cunts
>>287331380>>287331423>>287331546Haven't played the game, so far it feels old-school Monogatari-esque with all the philosophical ranting about society.
>>287330084Bless an actual fang instead of that flesh fang cancer.
>>287331905I knew it sounded familiar. It really sounds a lot better when sung slowly.
>>287329751UK laws
>>287330555Moegi didn't fuck the evil out of Kyara.
>>287330084Nice, more Kache.
>>287330084their faces look so ugly, the only one acceptable is ame here
>>287335268apparently the character designer for the anime (as opposed to the concept artist) is Ohisashiburi's sister, so there really wasn't much say in the matterI even tried drawing Ame with the anime-style eye and that's when I realized that I really don't like it
>>287335305post the drawing
>>287331380To give you an idea of how many levels of bullshit this anime is on, Bowling For Columbine is required viewing to understand Kangel's convo with the interviewer. that's not even getting into how one should watch at least one Godard film to understand all the idiosyncrasies that the anime's direction is trying to encapsulateit's 2deep4u except all the depth is coming from places that people would never think of. that is to say that the NSO anime isn't Monogatari-esque, but it's drawing from the same well of inspirations that SHAFT looked at back in the day
>>287335495Can you give me the full list of media I need to experience before watching this?
>>287334660She redeemed her with ____
>>287335495>Bowling For Columbine is required viewing to understand Kangel's convo with the interviewerPicked up on that. It's pretty much the only thing of the episode I understood.
>>287335621>A Clockwork Orange>Do You Love Me? An Entertainment in Conversation and Verse>La Chinoise>Pierrot le Fou>Weekend (1967)>Dragon Quest VI>Space Adventure Cobra>Notes from Underground>Mulholland Drive>Kiratto PriChan>Caligula (Ultimate Cut or not)>Salò, or the 120 Days Of Sodom>Bowling For ColumbineThis is by no means a complete list, but it should be comprehensive enough. if this looks like an autistic watch list, that's because it is
>>287335621The song Internet Overdose alone contains multiple direct quotes from a variety of famous Visual Novels/eroge. Probably not vital in actually understanding the plot but it does outline the kind of work that the original game was obviously taking inspiration from
Ludo kinoMonogatari of the new generation Hard facts
>>287336220the thing about looking into VNs is that when you start looking into them, you're not so much looking at a specific set of inspirations for a particular work as much as you are observing a foundational pillar from which a bunch of otaku culture comes fromit would be like watching 0079 Gundam and expecting all mecha shows to be that way. of course there is a specific subset of "denpa" VNs that go a long way of informing how NSO communicates its themes, but again once you look at denpa then you're looking at an overarching cultural movement that's so vague that it encompasses even Neon Genesis Evangelion as one of its primary drivers. It's not feasible to cite VNs as inspirations without overgeneralizing their influence over JP subculture as a whole, so it's better to cut your losses and focus on what concepts can be feasibly grasped at
>>287336407I would probably agree with that. I'm sure there are interviews where he more specifically talks about what he was reading to inspire the gameFor instance, Kana Imouto gets quoted quite a bit, but from my own reading of it, it doesn't necessarily inform Needy Girl all that much other than it being a landmark Visual Novel title. I would be surpried though if Sayooshi and Shizuku didn't at least inform the writing, thoughFor his upcoming work, I know he's specifically name dropped CARNIVAL and Leaf as being what he's aiming for in terms of the foundation of what works he's trying to draw from. Basically he wants to write a 90s/00s style eroge but utilizing as much of what a modern Visual Novel can bring to the table with regards to presentation
>>287336592 (You)I had completely forgotten that he was, surprisingly enough, inspired by DDLC despite being native Japanese. There's a recent interview where he opines about how it should have been a kick up the ass for Japanese developers specifically because it was made overseas and not by them
>>287336033One scene might or might not be a reference to Pink Floyd - The Wall movie, which also revolves around a singer going insane while making various unsubtle social commentary. Worth a watch either way.
>>287337072Damn, that's a nice chair.
>>287337072I wonder how many people, especially abroad, don't realise that Bob Geldof was the frontman of a rather famous Irish new-wave band back in the day
If you have no idea what's going on right now, you're going to have a blast next episode.
>>287329319I seethat does change things
>>287338498I wonder how Lap+ is going to punish me...

>>287339235c'mon, if she collapsed from substance abuse it wasn't ONLY a drinking problem.
>>287339387You'd be amazed at the amount of liquor some alcoholics consume in their 20's. For a tiny Japanese girl, if she was pounding back a handle a day it could most definitely kill her.
>>287336033>Dragon Quest VIWhy 6 specifically?
What does she need? What is she overdosing?
A whole bowl of eggs
>>287339576In-game, LSD.
>>287339532Dragon Quest 6 is the entry that deals with themes between dreams and reality most prominently. it's one of the most readily accessible ways to grasp the concepts put forth by Zhuangzi's butterfly dreamfun fact: whenever you see butterfly imagery being used as a metaphor in Japanese media, it is usually referencing that proverb
>>287338498>writer is severely depressed>references Russian literature multiple timesIs Russian literature actually perfect for depressed people?
>>287340874Armchair Raskolnikovs read crime and punishment and think the moral of the story is "Raskolnikov did nothing wrong"

I honestly cant believe how much this anime is making people seethe, it seemed relatively understandable to me. It probably helps that i beat the game and have had it living rent free in my head for years cause i loved it so much though. Its all the same messages about the internet being bad and mental illness and society and tons of media references and everything else that was already there, its not subtle and the game wasnt either
>>287348124Does she also want to fuck her brother?
>>287348193Probably.
I think the funniest thing about nyalra is despite flexing his taste in movies he also for some reason can't stop slobbering over vtumors
>>287350298You don't write a work like this unless you're fascinated with online social media and SNS. Vtubers are firmly embedded in that area, so there's no way that you're not coming across themIf anything, the more interesting part is that he seems to favour the English speaking ones. I suppose that makes sense considering he's obviously learning/learned a lot of English. It would be like an anon watching Japanese ones as they're learning Japanese
>>287309667It doesn't have the budget or the extremely precise direction skill required to make up for that to be any of those shows so far, but it was still a pretty good first episode.
Has Nyalra been paid his royalties for this show?
>>287350381It wouldn't be royalties as he's actually involved with the production, but> It’s more than that—even my rights are being trampled on. The usage fees for the original work and the original scripts were scheduled to be paid in 2026, after the broadcast. The flow was supposed to be: Aniplex pays Why So Serious, and then Why So Serious distributes my share to me.>However, Mr. Saito is refusing payment on the grounds that “Nyalra is now an unrelated outsider.” Right now, Aniplex is working through their legal department to find a way to pay me directly, but who knows what will happen...The situation with the company he originally worked for is completely messy. This isn't the anime staff trying to screw him over, it's the CEO of the group who made the game originally

>>287350400>Why So Seriouswe live in a society
>>287341658They're becoming whales.
>>287321078>magical destroyersPretty much what this first episode reminded me of. Just feels dishonest in what it is portraying and why.

Will Ame smoke weed and do hard drugs in this? Is that allowed in Japanese TV?
