Does this shit get good? Two eps in. It seems super try hard and boring.
It's one of those shows that try way too hard to come up as deep and profound.
>tell me what to think /a/>/a/ is my opinion in-line with yours?>/a/ what's the concensus on this?Watch it and think for yourself you fucking sniveling maggot
>>289249946The first episode is exactly how the rest of the series is
>>289250011I was just curious what others thought of it. I think I'm gonna drop it, not feeling it.
>>289249946fuck off we're full
>>289249946stick to shonenslop, dumb zoomoid
>>289250224I get that it's about growing up, and their relationship to authority/institutions and shit, but the presentation is just boring. I don't care.
>>289249946It's just aimless pseudslop for midwits who want to feel smart and deep.
>>289249946it's bad ON PURPOSE
>>289250318So it's like any Urasawa garbage work lol
It's more of a vibe anime he has a new movie coming out soon too
It's one of my favorite anime of all time. It is the first thing to make me realize maybe living forever really isn't that great. A lot of anons get filtered because it's slow and abstract. They are better suited for DBZ and My Hero Academia.The OST is also great one of the few anime I listen to the OST by itself, though I already was a huge fan of Ging Nang Boyz.If you make it through the Monkey Baseball episode ypu may as well finish the whole thing, it's worth it if you want to have more to think about than how muscly and strong Goku is with his shirt off.
>>289250801oh fuck off with this false dichotomy shit. The smugness reeking of this post, good lord.
>>289249946if monkey baseball does not blow your mind then you have shit taste and might as well drop it
>>289249946pseudo intellectual slop

I know it's summer forever now, but I love how "tries to make you think a little rather than just sit back and be entertained 100%" somehow equals pretentious.
It's a baseball league here in the world of Monkey Mountain,played by the great monkeys, which started when the first ball and batand the rules of the game were handed down to them.In the Monkey League, a number of great players arosefrom among the nameless monkeys,whose faces and appearances all looked the same.They included the legendary home run king,who batted an unprecedented, record-breaking80 home runs in one year, Steroid Monkey;the one who bested the god of batting, Monkey River's career batting averageby two thousandths, the miracle hitting machine, Upper Monkey;the greatest catcher of the Bigfoot era, Mister Monkey;later, as manager, he would go on to break the record for most league wins,with a legendary ten-season-long streak!Then came the golden age of the M-League.A miracle monkey came alongand shattered those previous legends one by one--the monster, Monkey Blue!This maverick of the league was the only one with blue hair,who, despite weathering ugly discrimination and crafty persecution,triumphed over them with overwhelming talent, ultimately becoming a hero,and a symbol of hope for the monkeys!Although a rookie, Blue put the brakes to the king, Steroid Monkey!Breaking his bat as well as his heart, Blue drove him to retirement.Then, with his mighty pitching arm,Blue led the underdog team Monkey and Club to victory,preventing Bigfoot's championship streak from reaching 11.The public accepted this new hair color,and there was no doubt in anybody's mindthat the era of Monkey Blue had begun! But then......that great tragedy, when a near-perfect game was foiled,and a monkey was killed, took place!
>>289249946>>289250270>muh boringBoredom is subjective, this series is not for you. I fucking love "boring" shit. Dialogue heavy stuff slow stuff with more abstract themes is fucking awesome and I say this as somebody who likes retarded over the top shit as well.
>>289249946>Does this shit get good?Don't even bother with this turd
>>289251626Sonny Boy isn't even deep. It's a vibes show. Either it resonates or it doesn't.
>>289249946Find out for yourself, faggot.

>>289250801Everyone would think immortality was great if people were naturally immortal. Deathist culture is idiotic.
Wait till the baseball ep then you’ll understand >>289250780Damn I did not know this. Thanks anon!Also seconding the vibe thing. It’s all about the feels, do not try to think about it logically
>>289249946This about sums it up for you.
>>289249946The mc gets cucked and it's made out to be a good thing.
>>289249946Just watch Little Busters, is the same thing but with actual characters, actual development, an actual goal, an actual conclusion, etc.
Feeling bad about yourself all the time while lamenting missing out on experiences that you would've never experienced in your teenage years anyways is such an effective drug for the goyim zoomer cattle, it's unreal
>>289249946The early episodes are the best part. It only gets more schizophrenic from there. I'd say it's worth watching just for Hoshi's machinations but he disappears halfway through
>>289254761there are other ways to put a sentence together that don't immediately expose you as a twitter tourist you know
>>289251872Spoken like a true twitter covid nigger who probably thinks Cyberpunk is anime too
>>289254851You found out about this movie from @AnimeCinema4KScreenshots, that's for sure
>>289249946I understood nothing and still enjoyed it, felt like a pleasant experience with people or they might even by elusions crafted by the mc interacting with each other
>>289254945...movie? Sonny Boy isn't a movie
>>289249946hey bud, maybe just stick to watching generic cute girl slop
>>289254945oh and by the way this>y-you're the real tourist!!!routine is so lame. there aren't tags or usernames here, if you've been caught just don't reply and do it right next time
>>289254986You didn't deny being a Twitter tourist but hey you can keep this effeminate coming-of-age misery porn cryfest for yourself, I'm good.
>>289255049What the fuck do you mean "Misery porn"? Do you even know what that means? First you called it a movie, now misery porn, did you even watch the thing?
>>289250801>It is the first thing to make me realize maybe living forever really isn't that great.Bait?Children media discuss this shit all the time.Even Frieza has this realization in Super.
>>289255097>he doesn't know>>289254653Seconded >>289251626Its funnier when the only excuse you faggots can come up with is some retarded appeal to pity, not a single reason why it's good, just "Think of the children" tier argumentation
>>289255216>is a twitter tourist>calls it a movie>calls it misery pornyou're retarded man why are you even here
>>289249946Fucking sucks. Overrated as shit. They should've just told one connected story instead of a bunch of disconnected episodic stories.
If it was so boring then how come the scene at the end with the music still haunts me?How come the death scene rang so true?If it was so void then how come i saw things in it?
How were Nagara & Mizuho able to kind of come back, but when everyone tried before parting their ways, they ended up only observing their original reality?
>>289255758Most students did not change during college no matter if they lived grand adventures during their years, it didn't impact them, they took nothing important from it so they continue their lives as if nothing much happened.
You can absolutely enjoy it without "getting it" immediately if you accept that some stuff might not make any sense ever and just let the great visuals and soundtrack wash over you. Since the setting has this huge class of kids with a bunch of them not mattering that much, I think you're invited put yourself in their shoes as if you were going along, exploring these seemingly nonsensical words, each with their gimmick, some of which might resonate and some of which won't. The monkey baseball thing, for instance, I don't think was any good, but episode 8 is one of the best from any anime I've ever watched. In any case the baseball episode ended up being useful in the long run since plenty of the people who weren't that much into the show ended up dropping it and the threads back then got comfier.And then it gets rewarding when you revisit certain episodes and start connecting the dots. If I remember correctly there was this space-bending girl who is revelead to have turned into a massive red crystal at some point, and I believe it was the same red crystal the students used to power their ark. The visuals for the girl's superpower in action and for the ark at work were similar too, really fun stuff.The issue I think is that some people demand it be easily readable and full of action from the get-go, and when instead they get some slow paced thing that works on dream logic, they go ham. And of course the EVA types and trolls relish in that and run the 2deep4u routine, which is always off-putting
>>289252076It didn't resonate because it's not my youth but i recognized it as such. It's same kind of of story japan's produced over and over for decades so it's too bad /a/non couldn't even recognize what he was watching.Albeit for different age ranges Sonny Boy speaks of the late 10's like FLCL speaks of the late 90's.Surrounded by kindergarden google furniture but you've got to watch out for school shooters. I'm an old fuck so i didn't know young people like to share their geoposition with their friends on a minimap because it's practical to them and if you don't then you're a shifty weirdo up to no good. The level of connectivity of that, forget social fabric it's social kevlar. Post 2021 we can realistically consider our world to be hosting bubbles of alternate reality in which same ideas hold different meanings. Hyper social yet completely divided. Sounds stressful. And then we tell them "the future is you, you gotta build a new world" 'cause we don't know wtf to do
>>289255545Because OP finds it boring but you don't find it boring, I think.
>>289254563Yeah, I refused to watch it due to this pic and that NTR webm. I'm not gonna sit and watch 12 episodes just to end up with "isekai bad, wageslave good". And I don't even like isekai.
I mean this was basically just FLCL but for a new generation.It's LITERALLY about the same thing after all, complete with a cool OST.I don't get why pseuds get their panties twisted thinking the show is trying to be smart or obtuse, it's basically as straightforward as it gets.
>>289251872It's only partially subjective.
>>289256900OP's a faggot?
>>289256911That's the level of lecture you're at.
>>289257007You lack objective sensory organs. Not a single living thing has ever experienced objective reality
>>289257041That's up to you to decide.
>>289249946Don't care. Mizuho best girl.
>>289250270>I don't care.then dont watch it retard
>>289256911>isekai bad, wageslave good
>>289260512good goy, get back in the cage.
>>289254563Yamabiko and the Nozomi compass being included in the harem always cracks me up.
>>289260512Taken out of context.

>>289249946>>289249977trying to read into it too hardthese are the type of people that believe eva is profound and that everything is a methapor for some dumb shit shallow message
>>289249946No. It's the typical "escapism bad" story that Japan loves to tell. Everything that happens is for nothing, and meant nothing.
>>289262821lol, retard
>>289262821>It's the typical "escapism bad" story that Japan loves to tellNot reallyAfter Nagara makes the decision to return to our world, there's nothing to suggest he was right in doing so. If anything the ending portrays his life as boring if not miserable from that point, while the indian guy who stayed adrift seemed really content
>>289249946Doesn't this show have an NTR ending?
>>289255758This is my attempt to understand of the plot:The story about God psychologically experimenting on teenagers by creating clones of them and trapping them in a parallel reality for thousands of years.God is a school principal, so he clones and transports all of the students in his school to this alternate multiverse. The students arrive alongside their classmates and due to time passing differently on different worlds, some of the classes were 'adrift' for far longer. Each of the students is given different abilities by God although some of them are borderline useless, and some don't even know they have abilities.The three most important abilities belong to the three main characters. Nagara's and Mizuho's abilities are what allows the parallel multiverse to function (Nagara unintentionally created all the worlds and Mizuho unintentionally created all the clones of the students) so in a certain sense they're the Adam and Eve of the parallel multiverse. Nozomi is the only student with an ability to return home, although she dies, turning into the compass which Nagara and Mizuho use to return.As time passes differently on the different worlds, Nagara and Mizuho only spend two years on their world before making use of Nozomi's compass to return home. This propels them exactly two years into the future from when they went adrift and the psychology of their clone merges with the psychology of their real person. Those who had spent hundreds or thousands of years adrift (like Yamabiko) no longer have the ability to return home since their real version is long dead. The fake version of the real world the students view halfway through the story is a hoax created by God. Nozomi is dead in this fake 'real world' (which turns out to be untrue, but foreshadows that her clone will die adrift).Initially it was not possible for any of the clones to die, but at some point Hoshi invented the concept of death to allow all of the clones to escape their existence.
every character who lived in the fake reality for tens, hundreds or thousands of years wants to end it all but why would the main character decide he'd rather be in the real world instead of spending an eternity wishing for his death in a dream makes no sense
>>289249946>super try hard and boring.you must be 18 years or older to post here
>>289264945Only a teen would try to get a deeper meaning from this.
>>289265217>teens analyze things beyond surface levelbased>>289265217>adult believes ignorance is blissISHIGGYDIGGY
>>289263766>Nagara's and Mizuho's abilities are what allows the parallel multiverse to function (Nagara unintentionally created all the worlds and Mizuho unintentionally created all the clones of the students)Yamabiko, the teacher, and the students in the digging pit were there in the other world before nagara and mizuho first went into the other world, unless you think their abilities worked retroactivelyThe impression I got from the end was that the real world does exist, but they never returned to the real world and just went into a parallel universe in the other world where nozomi was alive, since the compass that was an ability from the other world still worked
>>289249946I really liked reading this anon's view a while back, and I think it's the canon intent of the author. I just really liked this show for the vibes and the visuals (Hisashi Eguchi designed the main trio). The plot is kind of just hinted for you to figure out, similar to evangelion, but in a way that was a lot better (and quite sad, think about what Nozomi was doing on the roof).
>>289267306it's kino until the last bit with the FLCL comparison, otherwise it's spot on, nice save anon.
>>289267306hah i too like revisiting the old threads. fun times
>>289249946>Does this shit get good?No. It's pseud trash with hideous and cheap character art. The characters have less detail than average and little to no shading. The studio pablo 2d backgrounds are the only redeeming quality of this trash.
>>289267437whats wrong with the FLCL comparison?I can get why it exists, the shows are basically both coming of age stories told in an abstracted manner with really good OSTs and animation
>>289266441a lot of gaynax girls are ugly af, especially this one
>>289250270So it's just a coming of age drama? Is there what's special about it?
>>289268607>really good OSTs and animationNo him. kek FLCL doesn't have a good OST, and it certainly doesn't have "really good" animation. Or IDK, music is kinda subjective, but I get no enjoyment out of listing to the pilllows. The animation is subpar a lot of the time in the original FLCL. There are only around a half dozen pieces of impressive animation in FLCL. Most of the fluid animation in FLCL is cheap since it cuts corners on detail and shading so having lots of low effort fames isn't particularly noteworthy. FLCL also looks like garbage.
>>289261109watch some actual anime instead of just pretentious psued shit you saw in a 3x3 thread
>>289268607FLCL is strongly about not completing the coming of age ritual while Sonny Boy obviously completes its journey.Sonny Boy with FLCL's thrust would end with them not finished with the journey.
>>289254563Based MC
>>289268817>Quit having fun!
>>289249977>simple show about growing up and entering adulthood>manchildren don't get it and think it's some giga-deep unknowable mysterySorry there son, but this is the kino section. The child's section is over by the mha and csm signs.
>>289269196But watching anime is fun unlike pseud trash.
I liked it, it has a lot of neat concepts that I found interesting, though I'll admit the ending was a miss for me. I'm sorry if you don't like it, I don't think a show like this is for everyone, which isn't to say you're too good or too bad for the show or belittling you, it just doesn't seem like it appeals to everyone's taste.
>>289266643I assumed all the students went 'adrift' at the same time due to Nagara's and Mizuho's abilities being activated, but some classes were sent to worlds where time passed extremely quickly in comparison to the world that class 2-C was on, hence why Yamabiko was already adrift for thousands of years before meeting with class 2-C. Alternatively, it's possible God dropped the different classes of students at different points in the timeline. The teacher is probably just another student whose ability allows them to resemble one of the school's teachers.
It's one of those that's entirely made out of metaphores you dunces. Nothing that happens on screen is what happens. Plotfags i swear.
>>289265217Somebody i know said "every book i read is a book about personal development". I agreed with him.
>>289268736You're not a skeptic but a septic tank.The tastes are shit.
