Kill la kill
>>65411658Kill la kill. It's an anime that makes fun of anime tropes in general (for example, the good guys are nudists, and the bad guys want to force everyone to wear clothes). It was made by the same studio behind Cyberpunk Edgerunners.

holy shit!
>>65411658I'm still mad this stupid banner got astroturfed into winning. It should've been pic related
>>65411658Fucking newfag…
>>65411658Just noticed this is still up even though board has been kill for weeks.
>>65411715Why spoonfeed when this nigger should at least be able to recognize studio trigger artstyle and work from there?It’s fucking kill la kill.
>>65411908>studio trigger artstyleAll their animations have a different artstyle, its normal for such a talented studio. Darling in the Franxx looks different to New Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt which also looks different to Star Wars: Visions (I know, Visions isn't their greatest work) which also looks different to...
>>65411658Do we even get new banners anymore?
>>65411942This site's culture is dead so no.

>>65413174>looks /k/ on the surface but is just another case of sheltered jap edgelord manchild fuddloreJormungand had me pissed off by the end of the first episode. Usually, bad anime just makes me go "Yeah, dumb fluff is the cultural norm after all" and move on.The only good thing to come from Jormungand is a few pieces of Valmet ecchi.
>>65413244>>65413174I liked it...Well, I liked it more than Black Lagoon anywayAlso, Chiquita best girl
>>65414904>liked it more than black lagoonShit taste.
>>65414955I mean, I liked BL too, but the whole vampire twins arc kinda soured the experience for me. Shit was fucked.btw, Sawyer best girl

>>65413166The only thing that actually got requested on /r/ by the end was AI-generated nudes of real women, which, after the passage of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, is illegal under US law. The mods pretty ruthlessly hunted them too, when they fled to other boards. /gif/ however, is untouched, and I've seen anywhere between 1-4 threads up at a time of AI-generated porn of real people. I cannot say why this one board is permitted to host illegal content, bu the mods haven't done much about it yet.

>>65415056
>>65413244Holy based. Last episode I just stopped watching. Whatever the fuck was happening was so dumb it made me just stop watching.
The only anime I've ever watched is Steins;Gate, Kill la Kill and Hellsing Ultimate. None of them were bad but I don't feel like I need to watch anything else. I am sated.
>>65418850If you're a /k/ommando you should watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Gunslinger Girl, and Black Lagoon.
>>65418850my only one is soul eater
>>65412144Hey do you think Imbreed has porn ads? Maybe he should make a prog rock about Android 18 porn ads.
>>65418875>Gunslinger Girl>mfw listening to “Light before we land”
>>65419283
>>65415240>UpotteYeah, what did you expect from yurinigger manga?
>>65411715>It was made by the same studio behind Cyberpunk Edgerunners.That's a huge red flag. Is it as terrible as Cybershit was?
>>65419609Was edgerunners bad? I personally haven't seen, but everyone tells me it was great. It's Studio Trigger. As far as I'm aware they're generally regarded as being pretty solid. I've only seen Brand New Animal from them, which I thought was fine, and have only seen part of Kill la Kill, which also seemed pretty good. I have severe problems with actually following through on the shows I start, unfortunately.
>>65419669It was awful, they kill off most of the main cast in the show. It's slop for the emotionally masochistic.
>>65419704I don't have a problem with that sort of thing, since it's cyberpunk. My problem with it is that it gets too wacky by the end and we don't get enough time with the crew in general
>>65419711>I don't have a problem with that sort of thing, since it's cyberpunk.I'm not judging your masochism, but I still think it's a terrible show that shouldn't be recommended to anyone.
>>65419718It's far from a terrible show. Terrible is something like Angel Cop I couldn't even watch for the antisemitistic memes
>>65419722I haven't seen that one so I can't comment on it. I rank shows based on their enjoyability, and I would have been better off never seeing Cyberpunk.
>>65419669Edgerunners was kino. No anime is perfect. Faggots these days always harp on the negative. You'll laugh, you'll stand up and yell "Kino!", you might even cry. It has some pacing issues, but it's not really that bad. It's a show set in a universe where good endings don't exist. Expecting anything more than a miserable death on Night City is retarded. Getting anything more than that is a blessing.
>>65412114Don't do this, it was terrible and unmemorable.
>>65420549It was memorable for being so bad, though
>>65420128So the anime is terrible because the setting forces it to be terrible?
>>65421139anon, there's this hot new form of story called "tragedy"
>>65420555yeah kinda it was memorable in how stupid that shit was. especially if you read the manga with its bullshit thats not how anything works ending.
>>65421282Yeah, and it's quite awful. Who in their right mind would enjoy feeling miserable?
>>65411930Trigger looks all the same lool
>>65421310It's about the journey.
>>65419609It's been a while since I watched it, but I had alot of fun.It made me breathe out through my nose harder than usual on many occasions.>>65419669I don't know man, the >teleports behind you nothing personal lmaotech is retarded and breaks the setting, but that's just cyberpunk in general.Apart from that it was alright.>>65419704Are you 12?
>>65423055That's even worse, a potentially enjoyable show completely ruined by a dogshit ending. If that doesn't make you upset then there's something wrong with you.>>65425432>Are you 12?38, why?
>>65423055if i wanted to watch someone have a shitty life i would take a vacation to india
>>65419609>>65419704>>65428431This is either bait, or these anons are emotionally stunted to the level of a teenager.
>>65428466I think it's the opposite. The emotionally stunted ones are those that watch tragic shows and derive some kind of enjoyment out of them. Those that have normal emotions do not enjoy feeling miserable, and thus do not like tragedy. Or maybe they just aren't masochistic.
>>65428409The ending isn't poorly done, it's just a bad end. Are you autistic or something?
>>65428837this poster has bitched and moaned about edgerunners for months. best to just ignore his autistic ass
>>65428483You thought wrong. Only small children watch shows where nothing goes wrong or everything ends in sunshine and rainbows. Only children shy away from negative emotions. It's not just about the lows, it's about the highs too. They accentuate each other, just like in real life. Seeing the character's triumphs wouldn't feel as good if you didn't see them at their lowest.
>>65428842I see, so it is about emotional masochism. You want to feel sadness, you want to be miserable. I don't. I can watch characters succeed and appreciate it without seeing them die.
>>65420128If it's anything like the video game, it's tryhard pseudo-edgy where everyone is a passive aggressive little bitch and then you have the epiphany that it was probably written by lesbians.
>>65428856So there really is an audience for gary stu garbage
>>65428975Absolutely. I would say that even cookie cutter korean reincarnation slop is far better than any tragedy, because the tragedy simply ruins one's enjoyment of the story. Some more than others, sure, but most people agree that all the tragic stories they've experienced would be better if the characters they liked and connected with hadn'd died. Unless you're some flavour of masochist, of course. Then you can't enjoy a story that doesn't make you feel miserable.
>>65428998Lol. I'll admit that sometimes I wish some characters in a story hadn't died, but it's just one story and that might not even have been the thing that makes or breaks it
>>65429006And that's my ultimate point: people don't like tragedy because of the tragic elements, they like the stories despite them. Tragedy diminishes people's enjoyment of the story, and the purpose of a story is to be enjoyable, to entertain. I'm just slightly more extreme in my distaste of those tragic elements than most. And it's not just that I dislike the stories, I also feel annoyed that the author of the story decided to ruin something that I could have otherwise enjoyed.
>>65428483>masochisticIt's not my suffering, it's other (fictional) people's suffering. There's nothing wrong with enjoying that. Especially when they brought it upon themselves.
>>65429018I feel strongly empathise the characters in stories that I experience. I share their misery. It's probably easier for detached, cold people with stunted emotions, though.I've done this for a while, see. And I've come to the conclusion that there are two kinds of people that enjoy tragic elements in stories: those who lack empathy, and those who enjoy being miserable. All the rest don't enjoy tragedy, but can stomach it if the story is otherwise good, though it does diminish their enjoyment.As an example, when I point out to people that Spike doesn't die in the ending of Bebop since there was only one star extinguishing (Vicious's), they usually say something along the lines of "ahhh, that makes it a lot better".But Edgerunners did none of that. If anything, it proudly displayed the corpses of the main cast in full display, and greatly diminished the value of the story. It's a bad story.
>>65429017>people don't like tragedy because of the tragic elements, they like the stories despite themThat's just plain false. I don't really like misery porn stories where everyone gets raped left and right and everything is shit, but there's nothing wrong with a little tragedy
>>65429048>misery porn stories where everyone gets raped left and right and everything is shit,That fits Edgerunners to a T, doesn't it?>but there's nothing wrong with a little tragedyWell, maybe you're one of the people in category A or B.
>>65429047It can also serve as an emotional rollercoaster, providing contrast to the happier days.
>>65429056Nah, Edgerunners is all sunshine and rainbows in comparison to some of the shit that exists. I think the ending was a little fucked but that's because it's set before the game, and you can't have the characters running around anymore really. I recognize it had to do with not painting themselves into a corner more than making misery porn
>>65419704>they kill off most of the main cast in the showthis is only a problem if it's written badlyfor a perhaps more controversial take, the same applies to politics
>>65429075But a rollercoaster gives you a thrill. It doesn't fluctuate between making you excited and bored, or happy and miserable. The entire rollercoaster ride is a "high" to contrast your normal "low". A tragic story is not equivalent to a rollercoaster. I reject the notion that killing off the cast at the end of the story enhances it in any way.>>65429076>Nah, Edgerunners is all sunshine and rainbows in comparison to some of the shit that exists.The story's writer has stated that his intent was to make people feel sad, and that qualifies as misery porn in my books. Sure there are probably worse offenders out there, but that doesn't improve Edgerunners.>>65429110I disagree, it's still a problem. Particularly bad writing just makes it worse.
>>65429110For some books/shows it's kind of a cop-out in its own right to kill everyone IMO, but there are also shows that pull punches too much so it evens out
>>65429017There's different levels of enjoying things. Sometimes you watch a story and it's miserable but also really memorable, or profound, or meaningful or beautiful in some way that transcends the immediate sense of fun. And grabbing on emotional heartstrings and yanking on them is a necessary part of how it achieves it and it simply wouldn't be the same art if you rewrote a happy ending.Personally, I only like to see it if the show is actually good. The average 5/10 weeb show doesn't deserve to punch me in the gut to heighten the emotional experience of their cartoon or to make a narrative point. But some media does.
>>65419704>a show about people spiraling into self-destructive mentality and behaviors while ignoring the warning signs for the sake of improving themselves at their highly illegal and highly dangerous job ends with most everyone dead as a consequence of their actions>anon gets upset about it>>65429047Edgerunners isn't a tragedy. If it had wrapped up about halfway though it might have been a tragedy. By the end though, it's a bunch of self-deluded, narcissistic sociopaths getting themselves killed because of ego.
>>65429163>Edgerunners isn't a tragedy. If it had wrapped up about halfway though it might have been a tragedy. By the end though, it's a bunch of self-deluded, narcissistic sociopaths getting themselves killed because of ego.its basically the point, only way to become a legend in NC is to go out in a blaze of glorythere is no backing downits kinda neat because it was the way you could 'immortalize' your characters in the tabletop game once a campaign concluded, adam smasher was basically the DM's 'fuck this, its over' or 'you fucked around too much or got too OP' magic fix button, you got too good or derailed the campaign and the DM would summon adam smasher and kill you
>>65429178Ironically Pondsmith has pointed out that it's actually not that difficult for well-geared players to kill Smasher.
>>65429161I have a really hard time imagining a situation where feeling miserable could be twisted into something I would find enjoyable. A character that dies, fails. There is no beauty in failure, or glory in sacrifice. I'll give you one thing, though, it can be very memorable. It's been, what, half a decade since Edgerunner finished airing, right? My hate towards the show or its writers hasn't diminished one bit. Being memorable is not necessarily a good thing.
>>65428856It's not about wanting to feel sad. Edgerunners ends on a bittersweet note. There's lots of sadness within the show, but there's also lots of joy. There's still hope and happiness at the end of it. Like I said, the lows make the highs even better. If you watch to the end, you will be able to smile. When people look back at the story, they remember all of the good times the cast had together. Just because most of them don't get perfect endings doesn't negate the bonds and triumphs they had throughout their journey. The main characters shoot for the moon. Though most don't make it, some of them do, and the trials and tribulations they face on the way to it is what makes the watch worth it. It's not misery porn.
>>65429263That sounds exactly like the bog standard eulogy priests deliver at a funeral. Unfortunately, I'm still going to regard the death of a person I knew as an entirely negative occurrence, no matter how neatly you spin it. And yes, a character whose life I know intimately is like a person I know in real life. Them dying does not help me appreciate the story in any way. And why should it? The story could have been great. They shot for the moon, and they succeeded, how exciting! The only reason why they didn't is because the writer was a sadist who wanted people to feel sad.Do you think you would have been unable to enjoy the story if the main cast of characters had survived?
>>65429289Okay, you're just a fucking retard. Don't watch it, you're just missing out because you only focus on the negative in things. I don't know how stupid you have to be to not understand the journey being more important than the end or the start.
>>65429289>They shot for the moon, and they succeeded, how exciting! The only reason why they didn't is because the writer was a sadist who wanted people to feel sad.Kek, OK, I genuinely don't understand
>>65429321And I don't know how masochistic you have to be to enjoy an ending where almost all of the cast died.>Don't watch itI unfortunately cannot un-watch it. But it did teach me an important lesson, and that is to never again get involved with a story without first going through full plot spoilers. And that policy has saved me a lot of time, frustration and money.>>65429331I thought it was quite simple. The characters could have succeeded without dying, and it would have been a good story. I would have enjoyed it, you would still have enjoyed it, and we'd both be happy. The only reason it didn't happen is because the writer was retarded.
>>65419718>noooo everything has to be wholesomeslop, you can't have actual stakes, every character i like has to live!embarrassing neotenous mental characteristics on display.
>>65414996>I liked BL too, but the whole vampire twins arc kinda soured the experience for me.Bruh, BL conclusively ended after the first 4 episodes. Or was it 5? Whatever. The show finished with the cigarette lighting scene between Rock and Levy.Everything else after that is just nonsense filler fluff that it is so bad I'm not sure more people do not come to this conclusion. Battle maidos? Vampires? The tone takes such a drastic shift I'ma not sure how people are this deaf to it. The studio wanted to do a short story about modern day pirates and masterfully concluded everything in a couple of episodes.
>>65429354I don't know why you're so upset that I don't share your masochistic kink.
>>65429343>The characters could have succeeded without dying, and it would have been a good story.Mmyeah maybe, characters dying doesn't fit every kind of story. But in risky endeavours, especially if it's a series, you should kill off characters on occasion or it just looks like there are no stakes. Not saying kill off the main cast necessarily, but I've been reading this sci-fi romance series (sue me) where in 7 parts only one named character who's been around since the beginning died AND it wasn't even during the brutal alien invasionIt's starting to look like the main cast is immortal
>>65429392>n-no, y-you're upset, n-not me!>h-having base level emotional control is masochism!anything else you want to share with the class, kid?
>>65429321I'm not completely on the other guys side, but bittersweet fucking sucks. Bittersweet is the combination of suffering and blind hope
>>65429417It certainly does take a lot of skill to pull a story where it feels like the characters are challenged and that there's a looming threat of failure. I personally don't mind even if the main character is overpowered and not even challenged, but not every story can be like that.I think Lord of the Rings had a perfect amount of challenge and stakes. I know it's kind of hard to think back on it now that we know the story by heart, but when I first read it as a teenager, I definitely didn't feel like it was obvious that everyone aside from Boromir was going to survive.>>65429423What has emotional control have to do with it? I can manage my emotions, and my pain tolerance is high. But I still don't enjoy being in pain, so why would I seek it out?
>>65429443>bittersweet fucking sucksNow this I can get behind, the most unsatisfying ending type
>>65429474Bittersweet is pretty bad, yeah. Fucking hated the everloving fuck out of Fullmetal Alchemist's ending. Nigger had to give up his passion to give his dad a couple of extra days. Fuck bittersweet. But even as bad as bittersweet is, tragic end is still far worse.
>>65429464>i can manage my emotionsyou get immediately upset and cry when a fictional character dies, you're not an emotionally mature person.
>>65429542This clearly reinforces my theory that the only people who like tragedy are masochists and emotionally stunted individuals. You're in category B. Congratulations for lacking empathy, you big strong boy.
>>65429586>i-if i just repeat myself harder it will undo the embarrassment of admitting to total strangers that i cry and feel physical distress when fictional anime characters die!lol.
>>65429443>blind hopeWho says the hope has to be blind?
>I don't like this thing, and anyone who does has something wrong with them!>no, there's something wrong with you!>no u!>no u!Both of you are mentally stunted retards. Someone liking something you don't doesn't make them a "masochist" or "stunted," or whatever else you want to say.

>>65430940>animes
>>65430048i like stories where everyone dies, stories where some people die, and happy stories where everyone has a good time.i simply don't have to dilate every single time muematsu deathflagitsu gets raped to death by dickmonsters in my favourite anime.the nigger is really talking about consuming passive media that makes him feel icky as if it's physical torture, i just couldn't get over how ridiculous that was and had to make fun of him for a bit, my bad.
>>65430940>newcutiesthat what you're calling yourself now?if this is bait, it's pretty good.
>>65430940To be entirely fair, Evangelion is quite terrible.
>>65412114Poor man's Black Lagoon
>>65412114Second season was fucking awful
>>65419669>Was edgerunners bad?It was incredibly generic characters and plotwise.F/a/gs praised it cause of the animation and action, and the fact it was the only decent thing to watch at the time.It was entertaining, but not anything groundbreaking. You watching, tell yourself "yeah it was ok" and then forget about it.
>>65431283i like some of the animation because i am an animation enthusiast, asuka fighting against the G-forces during her fight in end of evangelion was really cool.oh and i like the porn.
>>65431362I see. I couldn't get past episode 8 or so of the original series, it was so fucking dull and all the characters extremely unlikeable.
>>65431369>and all the characters extremely unlikeablei mean, it was written by a guy who was, at the time, literally suicidal, it's not exactly surprising.
>>65431371Such a shame he didn't go through with it before writing NGE.
>>65430875Ignore him, he's just a newfag like you said, anyways what anime is picrel from?

>>65431369When I watched it the first time I was around Shinji's age and hated him for being such a little bitch. Over a decade later watching Puella Magi Madoka Magi I realized Madoka was about the same age as Shinji and I had to admit it was completely reasonable for someone age 13 or 14 to be scared and freeze or run away and maybe cry like a little kid if faced with death since they are kids.

>>65436007it has a lot of asides, but i don't know if I'd call them interesting frankly.
>>65436225>strike witchesYurinigger anime is the anathema of /k/.
>>65435884>>65436007Jin-Roh's main problem is that everyone's first exposure to it these days is clips shared on social media, resulting in their first impression being that it's about dudes in armor mowing people down with machine gunsthe only ones who go on to pick it up are the ones who wanted a hardcore action film, who inevitably end up disappointed, while the people who'd actually be interested in the interservice intrigue might pass on it without even realize what they're missing; end result is that everyone misses out(the second biggest problem is just how heavy-handed it is with the red riding hood motif)
>>65436379>these daysThis has been the case since they first were .gifs on forums 20 years ago
>>65418875>Gunslinger GirlObviously the only serious answer.

Is /k/ the most newfag board out there? You've got the fucks like a fighter jet thread with a dozen confused replies and then this guy who doesn't even know what Kill La Kill is. For the newfags, why be here and not elsewhere?

>>65439256>and the model kit hobby has been dying for the last decadeYou've got bad info, gunpla is doing better now then it ever did before. Covid+netflix hosting gundam got a shitload of people into it.Also yeah desert punk is great and it's a shame he got sick. They finally translated that final volume and I just wish the guy could've kept at it.
>>65435349>desert punk not mentionedK is ded.
>>65415098>after the passage of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, is illegal under US lawwait wait wait what the fuck?! i was not aware of this whole thing. Could this apply to 3d models of real women? if so i gotta delete some stuff...This world is turning into a hellhole combination of the worst parts of prudism and degeneracy
>>65429474no way, full on nihilism is the worst. Texhnolize ending just left me feeling awful. It was a cool show and i enjoyed it but god damn not even a sliver of brightness.
>>65435349kino no tabi/kinos journey
This thread reminded me how long it had been since I watched Gunslinger Girl. Thanks /k/.
>>65439676>it's a shame he got sick. They finally translated that final volume and I just wish the guy could've kept at it.what?! noooo i didnt know that ive been reading the manga but havent finished it. dont fucking tell me its incomplete. I assumed it was complete since its from the fucking 90s
>>65440384We're having a daily readalong of the manga over on /a/, come join!
>>65440362Nah, "it was all in vain" can be kino as hellHamburger Hill is probably my fav Vietnam movie
>>65440719I prefer "it was all in vein: a heroin's tragedy"
>>65440386There's a couple major hiatuses that happened because he was too ill to work on it. It does have an ending but you can see it affect his work, and he seems to have retired afterwards. Or who knows.
>>65430940>newcutiesyou are a troon, please kill yourself.
>>65435349Black Lagoon was edgy for the sake of edge. Although with that being said I liked when they went to Japan. I think because there was some amount of a story arc.
>>65429195Lore-wise, only V or David had any chance to beat him. Everyone else in that universe just wasn't that guy.
>>65435349>Ctl F>Only one, singular mention of Legend of the Galactic Heroes earlier in the threadMaybe /ak/ really is dying...
>>65446234agreed
>>65431283>>65431369>>65431373>t. no taste
>>65446234>Legend of the Galactic HeroesLike a lot of classic anime, this one suffers from not being available on any streaming services so people aren’t really watching it. The average person isn’t pirating stuff and watching it on a computer screen anymore. Serial Experiments Lain and the one about the girls with the invisible arms (can’t remember the name) also suffer from the same problem.
>>65446263you're thinking of Elfen Lied
>>65446263>One about girls with invisible armsI love Elfen Lied so, so, so fucking much even though it really is just slop. It is depressing to hear that other zoom zooms haven't watched it because they need to suckle at the teat of netflix and crunchyroll, though.It's especially interesting to me you bring those two up because I know for a fact that a cohort of zoomers is super into the Y2K aesthetic, and both Lain and EL reek of it.
What makes an anime /k/?Even though it’s a type of anime a lot of people don’t like, “The World's Finest Assassin Gets Reincarnated in Another World as an Aristocrat” was surprisingly cool.The mc uses his magic to basically just summon big ass howitzers and cannons and nukes his enemies.He also summons a sniper sometimes like pic related.
>>65446263>The average person isn’t pirating stuff and watching it on a computer screen anymoreThe thing is that you can find some pretty good stuff for free on Internet Archive, which isn't even remotely a pirating site. The thing is that kids these days would rather conveniently watch JJK or Chainsaw Man or something on Crunchyroll or whatever rather than spend 2 minutes on IA to find Desert Punk >>65446316>What makes an anime /k/?If it involves firearms and is enjoyed by /k/ommandos, it's /k/.
>>65446263It's really funny when someone calls something like elfen lied classic anime and you know full well it's cause they watched it when they were 14.Anyway the zoomers are watching the remake version anyway, it's not like it's lost its cultural presence.>>65446334Desert punk is on crunchyroll.I'll say that streaming really is double edged sword though. It makes watching anime very easy, but locks you in a kiddy pool and doesn't teach you how to find anything else. Even having every streaming service available still leaves you without so many great shows, god forbid watching anything slightly forgotten.
>>65446282read the manga, Elfen Lied manga is great and has a proper ending unlike the show.
>>65446234It's hardly /k/ at all thoughMaybe if your interest is in WW1/WW2 generals
>>65446282>a cohort of zoomers is super into the Y2K aesthetic, and both Lain and EL reek of it.What are some other anime with that aesthetic? I really like it as well
>>65439256>>65440054Based, enlightened and patrician taste in animated media.
>>65430855>missed out on watching the Evange lion at 14 as God intended so it could permanently ruin your mind such that grown men are still arguing about it THIRTY YEARS LATER
>>65439298>>65419704I know I'm not on /tg/ but come on, that's literally just what Cyberpunk is like. You're small fish in a little pond deluding yourself into bigger fish than you actually are.
>>65447796so did i but i ran into onee-shota fetishism independent of evangelion anyway, so it didn't save me.
Growing up i wanted a mustang like Rally's.
>>65448474You guys told me they were lesbians but I think that was false
>>65448515don't listen to idiots who haven't read the manga baka
>>65448515Rally is gay but Burst doesn't exist to me for other reasons
>>65446234>going through the anime for the first time>always skip credits>never seen a preview in my life>get to an episode that just makes me want to sit back and soak in the emotions>credits play>preview plays>the next episode is freely spoiled>[Spoiler]now I know yang dies next episode[/Spoiler]Completely fucking ruined the series for me. I was Googling online as to "why the fuck would you do this, you cunts", and all I could get were internet comments, but the best reason I saw was that the anime was made under the expectation that you'd already read the novels, so you knew the storyWell I fucking didn't
>>65448947I am now as guilty as the previews I lament over
In a world with magic, swords, and ninjas with another name. We have a girl with a magic BFG.Safety tip. Do NOT lewd Chaika!
nu-GITS has been a lot of fun for me.
>>65450207It's the only GitS I have even liked so far, and I have seen almost all of them by this pointThe plots devolve into gibberish every episode but that's just Shirow for you
>>65450207>>65450260kill tastelets and tourists
>>65450207Turns out you can adapt the manga without taking all the fun shit out just because the soft brained think that boring = art and the more boringer it is, the more art it is.
>>65450279Oh come on, nobody can say with a good conscience that the political machinations as presented to the viewer aren't gibberishI'm sure he has an autistic spreadsheet about all that but forgot to tell the viewer
>>65450207The artstyle reminds me of Bubblegum Crisis.
>>65448474The ATF stooge had the best oneliners>My mom may dress me funny, but i'm a real Eliot Ness pussycatI miss early 2000s ADV
>>65450498are you blind or retarded?have you even seen bubblegum crisis?
>>65435349GateAtrack on TitanBerserk
>>65449429Chaika on first page again!
>>65448474Growing up I wanted a girl like Rally.
>>65435349Girls und PanzerGirls' Last TourPorco Rosso
>>65418875>watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes
>>65448947Various anime have taught me to NEVER EVER watch the previews. Something is fucking wrong with the Japanese brain because they see absolutely nothing wrong with spoiling major moments prior to them happening. One Piece has been guilty of this before so I never watch the previews.
>>65450737>>65449429Every now and again I think I'll delete this stupid image I made years ago and it just keeps coming back.
>>65450862>chaika on the front face
>>65446757>go read a book with pictures in itNo.
>>65411896It should have been one of the iterations of Jaw guy or zergface, desu. Closer aligns with old board culture.
>>65437559actual gun /k/ino, down to the level of her slipping on casings and then having a brass catcher for the entire rest of the series>>65443150its an over the top action series, its fun
>>65435349>no Gunslinger Girl
>>65419609FAGGOT!AGGOT!
>>65450737>>65450862that face... that damn face. cant believe its been so long since it came out, time flies.
>>65452180>slipping on casings and then having a brass catcher for the entire rest of the seriesoh that would be a hazars most wouldnt think about
>>65452596Also a hazard I haven't encountered IRL very many times but it is a rather /k/ detail, gotta admit
>>65452594Remember when people would hide this image under a spoiler like a landmine, because back then, Firefox would probably crash trying to open it?
>Mamoru Oshii>gratuitously german title>VOTOMS>lesbian undertonesYou cannot for the life of me convince me it's not gonna be /k/ino.
>>65411658
>>65453669>lesbian undertonesIt's gonna be bait like Canaan at best
>>65453576ZA CRASHA!

>>65411896I like both.>>65413180That's a FAMAS, you retard.>>65414996Vampire Twins is about as dark as it ever got. Also she's mine.
>>65415098>The only thing that actually got requested on /r/ by the end was AI-generated nudes of real women, Grim.>which, after the passage of the TAKE IT DOWN Act, is illegal under US law. The mods pretty ruthlessly hunted them too, when they fled to other boards. /gif/ however, is untouched, and I've seen anywhere between 1-4 threads up at a time of AI-generated porn of real people. I cannot say why this one board is permitted to host illegal content, bu the mods haven't done much about it yet.Did the law change again, or wasn't it that it was a matter of the question of solicitation and shit like that?
I guess they changed the law pretty considerably. I assume there has to be a matter of lingering gray area and still waiting for precedents.>>65415240It was pretty boring.>>65418088I'm not.
>>65419704>>65419718>>65428856Actual chronic manchild.>>65429357Good Christ, are you a boring and two-dimensional person.>>65443150>Black Lagoon was edgy for the sake of edge. It really isn't.
>>65418088Tomoko was better when she was a total loser and she wasn't known by redditors. Now she sucks.
>>65454315Are you one of those people who think she should have no kind of arc and character progression, and instead should stay lonely forever?
>>65454298I dunno, the incestuous Romanian child snuff film stars turned psychotic cannibal assassins were pretty fuckin edgy.Roberta fucking a dude in order to get his guard down enough to murder him was pretty edgy.
>>65454322But is it edge for the sake of only being edge?
>>65454319No, but there's a such thing as executing an arc in a way that is unsatisfying.
>>65437668>Is /k/ the most newfag board out there?from experience I've noticed that boards with specific themes like K=guns, M=mecha, CK=food and more isolated boards like (God forbid) MLP=pony, manage to maintain a unique community culture, are generally fun to lurk/post as opposed to boards like /b/ or /pol/ that are very popular, have lots of newer anons but are mostly the same shit as normal websites but without a filter blocking the word nigger or national socialist stuff>t. started being a recenthomo in 2016 becuz muh trump n shiet
>>65454939IMO /k/ changed forever in 2012, after Newton. It was never AS fun and creative on average after that. Didn't suck, but it was lesser. Then 2016 and 2020 both had their effects.Russian invasion of Ukraine flooded the fuck out of this board, and made it just about unusable, but it seems most of that traffic has actually vanished, and now the board is kinda slow, which I think is actually pretty nice, allows for slower paced discussions with people who give more of a fuck.
>>65454322>Roberta fucking a dude in order to get his guard down enough to murder him was pretty edgy.Blame Tom Clancy for that
>>65453669>kenji kawai>full of oshii-ismyeah im excited too, it seems like a good fit stylistically >>65453733its gonna be the normal one getting obsessed with the blue one and drawn into their self-destructive world.
Since only 1 person mentioned Girls und Panzer I'd like to reiterate that.It's WW2 LARP taken to such an extreme level that it becomes entertaining on another level.
Honestly if I had to rewatch a trigger show it'd always be inferno cop
>>65450279>Moviefag wants to gatekeepListen here you pentuplenigger, I've forgotten more GitS than you've ever seen. I may be one of the few people who watched SAC 2045, which was so painful it made me nostalgic for Ghost in the Jo. The recent show is great, which shouldn't be a surprise since it's almost directly adapting the manga which is also great (though they cut out "autism mode" which upsets me greatly). People like you want to claim GitS, meanwhile I bet you haven't even seen Innocence. Expand your repertoire or shut the fuck up
>>65431341Yeah, solid 7/10 action/ crime thriller series. Nothing that'll reshape the industry and will be forgotten by the end of the decade. Still, I enjoyed it quite a bit but then again I'm a massive sucker for cyberpunk settings
>>65435349Mad Bull 34
>>65456202Madbull 34 is SO stupid, SO schlocky, and SO sleazy, and I absolutely love it. One of the very few dubs I like.
>>65455822GuP saved Finnish tank history

>>65454939>started being a recenthomo in 2016 becuz muh trump n shietyour a newfaggit and should kill yourself immediately
>>65456175>People like you want to claim GitSgo back to xitter with language like that xister
>>65456219>One of the very few dubs I like.God it's so fucing great, especially the godawfull Brooklyn accents.
>>65453669The last Votoms i watched was Alone Again 15 years ago. Still pissed Titania got so little screentime.
>>65453671I agree but probably 100 is more reasonable . 20-30 to work through the classics and then another 70-80 to get your fill of trash, hidden gems, cultural waypoints, and popular shit.
>>65456556They did their own music for the dub as well (for whatever reason), and it's pretty good.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tudLIUTnI8s
>>65446757I did actually! That's most of the reason I like it despite it's very obvious flaws. That ending is just.. burned into my memory like Muv-Luv Alternative.>>65447274>Hardly /k/ at allHow so? Just because most of it is political, doesn't exclude the fact that the battles are unbelievably well animated and realistic feeling. It's one of the only anime I've ever watched where I could for the most part suspend disbelief in the combat I was watching. Even the whacky shit like them hacking each other to death with battleaxes was at least very visually gratifying, even if kinda hammy.
>>65457310>battleships in space>realistic feeling
>>65457924...Yes? CoaDE exists, what do you mean by this anon?
>>65457991LoGH doesn't look like CoadE ergo it's not realistic in the slightest
>>65458000Certainly leagues more realistic than Gundam or Macross. You act like if it isn't solely RKV-spam in the black abyss of space all the time it's not /k/ nor can it at least attempt realism.Do you have a diagnosis for autism, perchance?
>>65458011Even CoaDE is unrealistic because the ships have crew numbers comparable to Earth ships when they would be at least mostly automatedAnd no I don't have the 'tism, just that if you want to make unrealistic space battles cool it should look like Star Wars or Freespace with emphasis on fighter action. Only navalfags want muh boring broadsides in space
>>65457198>They did their own musicBubblegum Crisis had all the songs re-recorded in English.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sp5_QuZqJe4
>>65411823Same
>>65460488I wish there wasn't so many soft porn ads. Can i not get some E whore's snapchat shit on my screen? its not even a real e whore is AI bullshit too
>>65460775Who the fuck else would put ads on this website?

I haven't seen an ad on the Internet in 15 years.
For the youtubers content I enjoy, after watching new video, I open it in private window with adblocker off and scrub through it to go through some ads.
