No other anime came close in to being this good in 2023. NO ANIME.
>>290331139Nice. I actually watch this cool boomer PC-88/98 channel on youtube. The games there are so soulful. It feels like most modern games just like other modern media are tragically soulless. I want to go back, even if it was before my time. Apparently the feeling is called anemoia. These are sad times.
>>2903311392023 had some good stuff. Konoha's show was great, if only Frieren wasn't airing at the same time it would've been AOTS.
>>290331139Severely underrated show
>>290331286What channel?
>>290331139oh it's from the guy that made kami nomi zo shiru sekai thats cool
>>290331869Holy shit, you're right. Picked up.
>>290331286>AnemoiaDrop your "a" at behind and you get kamige
>>290331794Basement Brothershttps://youtube.com/@basementbrothers>>290332513Nice. I enjoyed the Summer Pockets anime. I miss KEY adaptations though.
>>290331139She has a really interesting voice.
>>290331286You can read every old VN for free right now.Almost no one does because the writing and art is not good.
>>290332569cute girl
>>290332814I read a few. I liked Ever17 a lot.>>290332852She is adorable.
>>290331139I always wonder what Horie Yui felt like acting in this.Probably old.
>>290331139yes i liked my eroge floppies... i first experienced them on piratey CDROMs thoughbeito.>>290331286>boomer. most of the eroge devs are Gen X-ers. the PC98 autist guy in the anime was probably born in late 1970s.
>>290331139wasn't that the year frieren came out? 16bit was AOTS on vibes alone
>>290331139I like that there's one guy still making Konoha x Mamoru R18 doujinshi
>>290331139I still think about this show every so often. It was definitely one of my favorites of 2023.
>>290331139It came out at the perfect time, right before AI started really taking off and being used for game development and before the anti-AI psychosis picked up. AI as a creative tool to assist game development but not replace it and the danger of America buying up and stripping the creative industries in Japan and making them match American tastes; the latter hit close to home because America has bought up and asset stripped a lot of the gaming, film and TV industry in the UK. Interesting ideas and concepts I didn't expect would be in an anime all in a rom-com about making eroge.>>290333834I have never forgotten about Konoha but then I sleep with her every night.
>>290333791
>>290331139It was really great. Too bad they weren't able to make all the planned 26 episodes and had to rush the ending...
>>290332814trvthnvke
>>290331139Konoha my wife
>>290332513Still no global release?
Reminder that Mamoru is like twice Konoha's age.
>>290334876yet she groomed him. wholesome.
2023? But it just aired.
>>290331286Heh, I saw the channel answer coming from miles away
>>290332814This, feeling nostalgia for shit games is cringe. PC98 vns had minuscule CG count and little/no variation in the HCG.
>>290331139WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
>>290335315It's a niche, but an interesting niche. Especially for dekinai yearning for better days.
>>290331139I wish we had more art of her
>>290335001If only I could have a childhood friend wife who is half my age, he's a lucky man.
>>290336625There are some of her in this book
>>290336991
>>290337010
>>290337028>Images came out sideways despite being corrected because Windows is shitBravo Mamoru
>>290337042
>>290336991>>290337010>>290337028Very nice! Sankyuu anon
>>290337061>>290337075There are a few more
>>290331139
>>290337086Only three more
>>290337199
Does somebody have the webm of how they used to draw using paper film on top of the screen?
>>290337223Last one with Kaori, there are a few of the twins but the majority of the art is characters from the games they made in the manga. For whatever reason, when I bought this I thought it would have Konoha in it, it doesn't at all.
>>290337265>Forgot the imageI might be retarded
>>290337265iirc the manga is a completely different work from the anime. Konoha and her plot is anime original
>>290332569Same. Weren't they called pc-98 paradise like a couple of months ago or something though?
>>290335315Same.
>>290337304Yeah, the manga is more or less what some people wanted the anime to be, focused on game development and otaku culture in the 1990s and the anime just throws a time travelling Konoha into it like a hand grenade but the explosion is good and creative.
>>290337159Whore
>>290337482
>>290337678And yet, in the end she too was tricked by a man.
>>290337159Queen!
Is there any art of Konoha with long hair, I feel like she would look cuter with longer hair
>>290335322Does that really matter for VNs? It's about the stories and characters too.
>>290332569Thank you
>>290336626You have to wait 24 years for her to appear again after you last saw her, become a billionaire, keep an empty company going and be socially isolated after all your other friends and family move abroad and everyone thinks you are crazy, only then do you get the Konoha wife
>>290340061Your terms are difficult but acceptable
>>290331139Voice of an angel https://youtu.be/sTvb0urjU8U
>>290337678came in thread for this.... best cap in whole anime
>>290331139It was mediocre. The setting was interesting but it went crazy halfway through and couldn't really tell a proper satisfying story. Also the MC is just a larping brat who probably doesn't even know what a folder is.
>>290341158Cute gremlin
>>290332814still all better than slop;gates, slop/stay night and slop irae
>>290331139I love the ending
>>290341158I could listen all day>>290341778You missed the point, and the story was satisfying but it could have been better as they gave themselves too many threads they couldn't wrap up neatly.
so what deal with Aliens ?
>>290341968They wanted to understand human imagination because humans have limitless potential and they have no imagination
>>290342470wrong place... should visit shadman basement
>>290341844Reminder that they canonically get married
>>290331139I liked the earlier episodes where they showed the development process for old games and also highlighted a few iconic ones. Especially the denpa games. Unfortunately the development side ended up being less important than I thought.
>>290342712How old was he
>>290342712I don't remember this in the anime
>>290331388Delusional coomtards.
>>290334876Yeah, it's awesome.

what's wrong with Konoha and how do we replicate it in other women?
>>290345980>what's wrong with Konoha She plays eroges
>>29034409844 or 42 and she is 19 but they met when he was 15
>>290346251I think that's a symptom of what's wrong with her, not the cause
>>290345980She's an extroverted otaku who is passionate about her art and eroge and talented artist and game designer, to get other women like this we need to send the 2016 era Akihabara when they're impressionable 12 year old girls
>>290346741please refer to this:>>290341158I believe she has some form of brain damage
>>290331139I've watched more than 70 anime from that year, and this is my top 10 list for 2023:1.Dark Gathering2.Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu3.Kimi wa Houkago Insomnia4.THE iDOLM@STER Cinderella Girls: U1495.Niehime to Kemono no Ou6.16bit Sensation: ANOTHER LAYER7.Jigokuraku8.Migi to Dali9.NieR:Automata Ver1.1a10.Tengoku Daimakyou

2023 also had the best romances
>>290334876Based.>>290335051I thought it was 2024...
>>290350334I work in IT and I can't identify all those ports
>>290337159The woman who broke /a/>>290337359They could've followed the plot of the manga with Konoha in the early 90s. Konoha is a more fun character than all the manga originals tbqh
>>290346867You're missing Onimai
>>290350457I don't think they could have because Konoha basically does the same thing as Meiko in not knowing anything at first and having to be taught it all so if Meiko isn't there then they have to find something for her as she joined the team in the early '90s or just move her joining a few years earlier.>>290350022It did but it had an idealistic vision that only people actually passionate about making games would use AI to make games and not slop from those only trying to make money.
>>290350625In the anime Meiko already had some experience so they could've definitely have followed the manga plot with Konoha there by that point.
>>290350410I lived through it and about half of them are just "monitor port" to me.
>>290350334Not going to cheat and look up the PC/98 specs so most of these are wrong because I only know AT.Top left: grounded AC input and two switched accessory outlets.Top right: 4 unpopulated expansion card slotsBottom left-to-right: 3.5mm audio jack, PS/2 keyboard, XT style keyboard, MIDI port, monitor (DA-15), SCSI (50-pin Centronics), DE-9 serial port (usually used for a mouse), DB-25 serial, 24-pin Centronics parallel port for printer
>>290350334I still use the PS/2 ports on my computer.
>>290349852She cute
>>290345639I didn't realize that yu-no was a pc-98 game. Makes me wanna make a serial experiments lain game for pc-98.
>>290355491Isn't there also a PS1 Lain game?
>>290355784Yeah but now I wanna make a PC-98 one. I'd be fun I think to make a game for older hardware.
>>290356024Retro is in.
>>290331139I'm looking at this now and it's meh. kind of weakthe main character is annoyingthe setup is clumsy and poorly directedi suppose it's something to someone who loves old games but let's be honest this anime will be forgotten
>>290350370you forgot kubo-san
>>2903468672023 had a lot of bangers>cooking in another world>saving 80,000 gold in another world>isekai one turn kill oneesan>my clueless friend>kaminaki>jitsu wa>level 1 dakedo>cafe terrace>atarashi>rain protocol>Hyakkano>kanojo x2>apothecary diaries>frieren
>>290351457Looked up a hardware manual to see how close I got. I was right about the bottom right being printer (14-pins not 24). The one I thought was SCSI is just for an external disk drive, floppy or optical depending on the configuration. (And it looks like they used SASI for hard drives not SCSI anyway.) Monitor connector is correct, analog RGBHV. But the two large round ones to the left are also monitor, with digital signals. One color the other monochrome. Finally the small round one on the left isn't a port but is a thumbscrew for grounding the case to earth. So where's the sound output? It's carried by two of the pins on the monitor port. 20 years before HDMI did it!Also it doesn't use PS/2 compatible keyboards. Looks like some kind of serial protocol. While the mouse isn't serial it's a Microsoft bus interface.
>>290345734Idiot didn't save the sound
>>290339242Everything matters, they are not shit medium like books to pretend the writing alone can carry the whole thing.
Ha ha That's so true. Can you believe boomers used to READ books. That's so lame. No one got time for that. Thank god we live in the future and have AI to read books for us.
>>290361614gap cuu

>>290362650
>>290345639YU-NO is such a kamige. Really glad I got around to playing it a few years ago.
>>290345639>>290362805Do not play Yu-No.The last quarter of the game is terrible. Even in a genre filled with bad final acts, it manages to stand out with just how bad it is.Put on the soundtrack and look at some of the art, everything else is not worth the time.
>>290356721It also had Kamikatsu
>>290364034What a terrible take. The final arc was the best part.
She was so annoying with how many times she shouted>MAMORU-KUNNNN
>>290364064I sure did love how all the characters we spent most of the game around were dropped in favour of a completely uninteresting linear fantasy plotline. It's great how the title character is introduced like three hours before the end with maybe one hour of screen time, and I couldn't tell you what her personality is like.Unironically, the best parts were some of the unintentionally funny moments. Like when you eat the hot dragon girl, that was so dumb that it still makes me laugh.
I wonder what sort of porn Kaori was making>>290350688Maybe, though Mamoru is 10 at the start of the manga so Konoha would be more a big sister to him than she is in the anime where she's sort of a big sister and peer to him at the start
>>290364034the final part of the anime was abominable
>>290362650Yeeeeah, she did. Whoo, whoo, whoo.
>>290365529he never stood a chance
Did the manga ever finish its tls?
>>290365293The hat tells all
>>290365720I think the problem is acquiring the volume since it sold out fast and physical only
>>290364064Hot
Should've followed the manga. Could've been Shirobako tier instead of mid shit.
>>290366505>Shirobako tierIs that good?
>>290331286うぐぅっていうんですよ！ うぐぅって！
>>290366629
>>290364338The soul is contained in the jank.
>>290366505No it shouldn't have and whilst Shirobako is good, I would say this is better>>290366598It's good, it's a semi-realistic portrayal of how anime is made or more how it was made, there's a movie as well.
>>290365741Wrong hat, luckily.
>>290347506She played the game and chose who she wanted to be.
>>290368608That game looks kino
>>290362650based
>>290368612It should have been me
>>290333834>the guy who did that art is working on his own pc-98-style erogeI wish it wouldn't take him so long though
>>290365741
Mamoru is so lucky, bros
>>290369810>the blush as she gets upHe's too lucky
>keeps his beloved PC-98 alive>gets a cute wifeLuckiest man of 2023.
>>290367269>It's good, it's a semi-realistic portrayal of how anime is made or more how it was made, there's a movie as well.Thanks. I'll watch anything with cute girls.
>>290370358This kind of attitude is always hypocritical and performative. You're not fooling anyone. Do better.
>>290370358it's not my fault girls love older men like me
>>290370358It's not my fault if my future wife keeps appearing at different stages of my adolescence when she's older than me and makes me fall in love with her and then waits till I'm in my 40s to appear again whilst she is still a teenager,I'm the victim here
>>290370893Trust me unc, they're not into you. It's just redpill cope for invisible men believing they'll get lusted after when they age and establish themselves. Girls want Chads their own age
>>290365293Anon, I'm saying they should follow the plot of the manga with the characters as they are in the anime when Konoha first time travel.As in, Konoha stays in the past permanently and does 90s game things like they did in the manga.
>>290370358I could be 100 and I'd still fuck 14+ women. Cope and seethe.
>>290370358The fact you think an adult can be groomed makes you the weirdo here.
>>290371401And yet women write stories of finding and falling in love with middle aged men. Interesting.
>>290371401Don't fret, little man. It can't be helped if a girl wants a man with life experience and not some kid fresh out of school.
>>290372478Tbis
>>290371927That probably would have been a good series as well, not sure if it would have been better or worse though, certainly more standard at least
Konoha was originally just 10 in the original era in the manga. If they were going to do a whole bunch of timeleaping anyways, is there really a point to aging him up? At the end he'll still be an uncle age anyways.
>>290369744is having an egg yolk on your head in fashion now?
>>290377164Egg love.
>>290377164It's like how people used to wear onions on their belts.
>>290376831Keeping Mamoru 10 makes Konoha into bossy shotas or means the romance doesn't develop as much if she isn't into bossy shotas, aging him up means the romance is a bit more believable.
>>290331139Time travel and teaching "AI is just a tool but you can use it to make the greatest game of all time as long you have the passion" but sadly nobody got the message well that and "pc9801 is the best".
>>290379928The other messages was that people create things after being inspired by the creations of others which can result in things not being made, the eroge Konoha destroyed, and new things being made, cuu. Then that people have the ability for limitless creation and imagination, the latter of which is a form of energy unique to people.
>>290368608>text hookerThe japs call that "compensated dataing"
>>290331139I loved it until the very last arc, kind of screwed up the immersion
>>290337232Just read the manga
>>290341158https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1exK34r_BaU Same seiyuu
>>290370358age gap is normal women like older men. I would love to see everyone who claims to have a milf fetish and have the ages of their girlfriend or wife compared
>>290362614and that is why I read manga and watch anime.
>>290342712How many otaku babies?
>>290382129The voice of an angel
>>290382559Konoha is 19, Mamoru is a billionaire, she has 26 years of being pregnant with 17 of those being before geriatric pregnancy, presuming they get started right away and have one every other year about 8 healthy babies, if they go to 46 then 13 babies with the last 5 being at risk for developmental disorders.
>>290362590Why would the PC-98 use VGA?
>>290383560To spite you.
>>290382129It was the trifecta of Paimon, Kiwi, and Konoha that put Aoi Koga on the radar for me
>>290386369I didn't like her in Love is War, only liked her in Mono, 16Bit Sensation and have not watched any of the rest, I might have to change that as following seiyuus has led me to shows I've liked before.
>>290386369omg it's Ange
>>290386369She looks too mommy to have such a gremlin voice if you know what I mean. Weird. Must be an asian thing.
>>290386369
I should figure out some emulator instead of just watching other people play PC-98 games.
