How was the best anime of 2024 so quickly forgotten?Regardless, with the upcoming season 2, I just want to say...... thank you, Elusive Samurai.>Elusive Samurai? ...............................>....... because, uh... you eluded everyone in the first episode so easily.......Oh yeah, right.
i hope the real life equivalent got anally raped lots as a boy
>>288466429There's something about this mangaka that is like, "Tee hee hee, I'm not just making thinly veiled references to man-boy love, oh well, maybe I am just a little bit, tee hee hee!"
man boy love is the most historically accurate kind of love not only in all of Eurasia (squire boys anyone?) but especially in Japan
>>288466429I want to see his pp
>>288468165but it's a small small boy pp
Manga ended like shit
>>288468770I love small small boy pp!
>>288466429It's simply too japanese and historical so it doesn't appeal to your average anime watcher, same way no one is really talking about Nippon Sangoku.
>>288469549History ended worse lol
>>288466706calling it "thinly-veiled" is being too generous, the author is obviously a shotacon and it's annoying so many of his fans try to deny it.
>>288471378They are projecting, if they admit the author is that, it means the fans are as well and they dont want that.
>>288466429Anime for gay pedophiles is fortunately in low demand.
>>288466706>>288466750>>288471378>>288471665He literally marries 3 girls
>>288466429Hecking chungus priest ruined it
Why did they use exarm tier 3dcg after first three episodes?
>>288472261Not before taking 1000s of backshots
>>288466429I'm not gay, but when I imagine this guy half naked, his ribs are faintly visible, and I can't stop ejaculating. I swear I'm not gay.
>>288473445Kys gay propagandist
>>288466429Didn't he lose and die? That's a weird premise to write about, it's already a foregone conclusion.
>>288473996It was 700 years ago of course he's dead
>>288475289>not becoming a taoist immortalWhat a noob
>>288473860You don't know what propaganda means.
>>288466429I'm not gay but imagine him being dotted on by older women with huge breasts
>>288473996That's what I heard and it keeps me from getting too invested even though I like the show. It shouldn't matter since I know f all about history but it bums me out. speaking of bums me out...
>>288468770Out of 10!!
>>288466429Thank you running away, I will always be hooked on you.
>>288469549qrd?
>>288473028To save money for the important scenes
>>288466429He was a tyrannical little shit and he should have been gutted like a fish earlier
>>288477686Since its based on actual real events, MC dies and while the author tried to give it a more positive spin, he still dies failing at everything he wanted to achieve, the serie kinda had a vibe about divine energies and spirits going on, but they really dont play much of a part, so you cant even have something like "saved the divine cosmic order but died at the mortal side of things” he just fails.
>>288466429>forgotten By who, I'm just waiting for the 2nd season.
>>288478073But he goes to hell and chills with Hitler and Pol Pot if that makes anyone feel better.
>>288466429Because the ending was shit
It's just a boring story that would never have survived if it didn't come out around a time when several established series ended, making it unaxeable.If it came out along with Red Hood and Neru, this would have gotten axed first.
>>288478073Wow, that's shit.Should have just gone for an alternate history ending.>>288478193If this is real, just why?
>>288478236>If this is real, just why?Because Tokiyuki and his pals murdered a countless amount of people directly and indirectly, and in Buddhism the past and the future converge in afterlife. So he ended in Hell along with countless other sinners from every location and era who constantly fight each other and Hell's demons. The degenerate actually got hard when he realized that he would spend eternity running away from the biggest sick fucks in history, calling the place "heaven".Kojiro and Fubuki also admitted to each other that they always found Tokiyuki strangely hot when he runs away before the 3 of them eventually died.
>>288478236I would have prefer if the paranormal had more presence, make it more of a "the untold tale of forgotten hero" kind of thing, he saves the spirit world and shit, but his efforts to save the spirit side, dooms his mortal side objectives and because the lack of records, nobody knew his true achievements, but is just a comedic take of real life events of a loser warlord that had nothing going for him, no awesome last stand like 300 spartans, no tragedy like jeanne d arc, or mythical reputation like Vlad Tepes, just the last heir of the previous ruling family after being dethrones that tried and failed to retake power.
>>288476193The ending to the manga is really good. Matsui is the rare author who’s good at those.
>>288478073Dude I read this manga weekly from day one until the very end and you seemed to have read a completely story than what I did.The ending was great, don’t listen to this anon.
>>288478355You are leaving out the context/bigger joke that everyone in the world actually goes to hell, because even “innocent” humans kill things like bacteria, so heaven is just a disgusting swamp made up of only non-carnivorous micro-organisms.
>Starts off as a nice balance between being historical focused and having the Matsui-style absurdist humor.>After the deaths of Yorishige and Akiie, the story became a boring slog with the actual historical events being sidelined in favor of Tokiyuki and the constant meaningless battles are dull.Besides the harem stuff, there's really nothing interesting to write about Tokiyuki after the Akiie arc and the author sideling the supernatural aspects made it worse.The series started strong and gotten mediocre all the way to the end.
>>288466429shotas have no lasting power
>>288466429Can't wait to gaypost about Tokicutie as hard as possible like I did during S2. That was great.
>>288478355So this >>288478438 kinda makes it better, or at least coherent to the general feel of the story.>>288478364Just anything that isn't a tragic "in the end it didn't even matter" ending. I'm just so sick of those.
>>288478355>Kojiro and Fubuki also admitted to each other that they always found Tokiyuki strangely hotThat's the best part. Gaychads won.
>>288478557They are not supposed to have. Your Wand of Light is supposed to imbue them with power, over and over again, if you know what I mean.
>>288466750Japan was always based.>Most of the world: but that's ghey and wrong and wierd and muh religion and muh gawd prohibits such things!>Japan: SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEX
>>288478997>Gaychads wonThree twice pergnant wives
>>288466429I didn't forget it, I'm just waiting for S2 and the final manga volume. And nu-/a/ sucks so I'm posting lessNext Matsui kino WHEN?!
>>288478438That's still one of my favorite jokes>yes, little timmy, you're also going to hell since you killed so many bacteria and ants just being hereThe first human to enter that version of heaven must be a bizarre freak
>>288481045Pure land being basically a swamp and this page were the only good things in the final chapter
I picked this up hoping it would be an innpio manga, but apparently it's an adultmale-anallypenetrating-littleboy manga
>>288481267I liked Tokiyuki being happy in hell...
>>288466429I miss our scat ninja so much bros
>>288466429I have not forgotten. It was always somewhat niche due to its genre. But many of the fan artists it attracted are still going, so that's something.>>288471378What are you talking about? Everyone knows Matsui is a shotacon.>>288478073>so you cant even have something like "saved the divine cosmic order but died at the mortal side of things”Except that's exactly what happened. And was expected to happen by many once it became clear an alt his ending was impossible (as early as kyo, if I remember correctly). I'll admit the ending wasn't as good as AssClass's. But that's a very high bar. It was still a good ending.
>>288478073Takauji being the reason the The Black Plague existed was genuinely retarded.
>>288479139>Japan: SEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEXWhat went wrong?
>>288466429i still remember the warrior that died here
>>288481531>provides temporal context for historylets, especially foreigners>is consistent with Takauji representing death in contrast to Tokiyuki representing life>also consistent with the historiographic commentary on the small being swept up and consumed by the great>provides the exact supernatural conflict and avenue for a technical victory that anons are complaining didn't existIt is goofy. But it's about on par with the real life legend of Yoshitsune escaping to mainland Asia and becoming Genghis Khan.
>>288481531Get power scaled, buddy also it was ackshually Takauji's demon
>>288481577Everything became too expensive and shitty work culture.
>>288481383I hate happy toki
>>288466706Is there at least any fan service? I keep hearing about these "references" but I never see any evidence of it. And I am not going to start reading this snoozefest just to check.
So will season 2 be your AotS of the year?
>>288481807What do you mean? Does Tokiyuki fuck men? No, it's WSJ. But he's a fruity little slut from beginning to end. Him getting hot and bothered by big, burly men trying to kill/capture him is such a prominent part of his character that his retainers tease him for it. He is very close and touchy with his male friends and retainers. Such as insisting on sleeping in the same bed with one he reunites with. The most direct references to pederasty both involve Takauji. One where he offers for Tokiyuki to become his boy servant, with such heavy implications about what that means that Tokiyuki flies into a rage at the impropriety of it (Takauji is supposed to be his vassal). The other is the inclusion of Takauji's real, historical boy wife as a bratty trap. There is a panel where Takauji is getting a blowjob from someone and it's probably him.
>>288481890If CloverWorks somehow surpasses S1, most likely. They really need to fix that horse CGI or at least hide it better.
I want to see his penis
>>288478073>but they really dont play much of a partwell that was a fucking lie
>>288479911Of course, someone have to keep those trap genes flowing. That's what walking wombs are for.The world needs those delicious wakashuu to please older men with their cute little tight butts when they are young and ripe much like their father most definitely did if he really was as attractive as Matsui portrayed him.
>>288478073>"saved the divine cosmic order but died at the mortal side of things”Anon that's literally what happened. He killed the demon at the cost of triggering his heart disease. Of all series, I don't understand why this one is the one most critics are illiterate at.
>>288481938Fortunately, most of the next part isn't super horse or soldier heavy, especially the best stuff (RIP dog shooting match). But that is probably going to be an even bigger impediment to ever getting a season 3 than popularity. Because from then to the end it's horses and soldiers constantly.
>>288471378Matsui being a shotacon is pretty memed around
>>288471378Best bait currently on this board
Wait the shota dies?
for me, it's this fuckboy
I would commit Yuki-tier slaughter in Minecraft to read this.
>>288482811Not that one, no. He grows up and then dies, as we all must. There are a few other shotas that die, though.
>>288481383Damn, what a humiliating "el" (as the kids say these days). Though for /a/ of course the fact that someone like the My Academia guy didn't plow the fat chunky girl is a much bigger loss than losing.
>>288484767>Though for /a/ of course the fact that someone like the My Academia guy didn't plow the fat chunky girl is a much bigger loss than losing.Because it is. You can call Tokiyuki a loser, but at least he isn't a cuck. He got to raise a family.
>>288484767He defeated the great evil and had three double pregnant wives. That is definitely better than most shounen protagonists have been getting. Him going to hell like everyone else, but actually enjoying it doesn't really detract from that.
>>288485827I mean going to hell doesnt feel like a significant proof of a wicked life when heaven is just a pool of primordial bacterias
>>288466429I’m just patiently waiting
>>288486275It's not. That's the joke. Matsui had to address the afterlife in some way since he chose an MC who dies prematurely and decided to include supernatural elements in the story. And if you're going off Buddhism, Tokiyuki would go to hell even by less absurd standards since he killed people. This was just a way of making that silly instead of bad. And bringing the whole onigokko thing full circle.
>>288486335(for boy penis)
>>288485827>He defeated the great evilWhat? No he didn't.
>>288489277Yes he did
>mfw episode 1:O>mfw every episode after that|:<
>>288489341episode 8 is the one people always clip though
>>288489277I don't understand how you could miss that part. There were many chapters dedicated to it.>>288489341But the second episode is as good or better. And the third is still good too. The fourth was genuinely bad. But after that every episode was either a mix of good and bad or just wholly good.>>2884893736 was also great.
>>288472261based
>>288492073on what?
>>2884733380.
>>288483044For me, it is this boy who will probably never be animated.
>>288492312He's genuinely adorable.
>>288493085Of course he is. He is best boy.
