>best fantasy fiction in decades>made by an autistic japanese womanHow does this happen?
>>201736026I thought Frieren was supposed to be the generic fantasy show everybody liked
>>201736073Frieren died during the magic school licensing arc
>>201736026the big bad sucksthis show doesn't really need a giant lion to shit things upit could be a slice of life thing and go on indefinitely they also never clarified if the elf girl is lesbo for laios' sis
>>201736026this looks like made in abyss + promised neverland, how close am i
>>201736026Japan is just different, the idea of "wow a women cant like fantasy" is not even a thing there and i dont mean in a way like "im a women breaking barriers, i will write fantasy" , i mean as in if you tell a japanese person a women cant like some autistic thing they are just gonna go "what?". It would be like saying today "women cant like buying ice cream that's a man thing" it just doesn't register for them, people are different over there. Im not saying sexism doesn't exist but it does differ.
>>201736855I mean, it’s not pedophilic and has a driving plot.
>>201736881women can't be CEOs, salarymen or presidents in Nippon
How the fuck anyone thinks "today I'll watch yet another iteration of japanese dungeon animated series, but this time, they eat FOOD!"It's stupid shit.
The trailers make it seem like a comedy rather than epic fantasy.
>>201736026Wont watch because I hate elves
>>201736940Yeah but they can be into autistic niche hobbies and i think that was his point
>>201736940https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kyaria%C5%ABman
>>201736026anime died in 2010
>>201737048It is a comedy. Occasionally it has a plot heavy episode that's serious, but the comedy is far better.
>>201736073I think it is, in the west. Not sure why the internet latched so hard onto that show.
>>201737102that's because autistic jap men gatekeep hard
>>201736026>westaboo crapno thanks, just another western pandering crap like edge runners that will be forgotten a month after
>autistic Japanese lady doesn't understand the actual appeal of fantasy >Creates a superficial reproduction that focuses on things besides the pointAnd so the big two headed bird eats the little salamender and this is the deepest world building and character writing off all time!
>>201736026I read the manga and thought it was below midno idea why people overhype this maybe because it's so safe and and non-offensive
>>201736881That's not really true. There's a reason why circle princesses or e-girls are put on such a pedestal by nerds. It's more innocent than in the west but it's totally 'omg a girl with fat tits likes making Gundam models just like me'
>>201736026>weebshit for tumblrinas and redditors>best anything
>>201736881Probably because women literally wrote all Japanese fiction once upon a time.Back in the samurai days, the view was that writing about history, reports and bureaucratic shit was prestigious and important, therefore women weren't allowed to write about it. A woman's place was writing about unimportant shit like fairytales and romantic stories, unaware of just how popular that shit was going to be once literacy started getting around. It got to the point that when fiction starded to get popular, men started writing under female pseudonyms just to get their own shit out there.
>>201737355Are you retarded? it has quite a lot of world building, from the interconnected dungeon ecosystem to the over world having pretty well fleshed out politics and history which then come up in conversations between characters and influence how they treat people from different races and regions.
>Generic beta diverse looks>Elves look like pigs>No one has titsI dunno man, looks kinda western.
>>201736026Half the show is just food porn, and all the characters are completely one note. I really like the cooking animations though. This would be better suited to five minute shorts.
>>201737656>It got to the point that when fiction starded to get popular, men started writing under female pseudonyms just to get their own shit out there.This was also true of English literature at one point.
>>201737968>No one has titsBest girl (forma el pollo monstruo) begs to differ
>>201736026>original take on the animal society trope but done better than a billion dollar studio>made by a 4'9 autistic japanese womanI am starting to see a pattern here.
>>201736026Technically, she is the author of the original manga, not the director of the anime.
Berserk is still the best fantasy and nothing comes close to it.
>>201736824It does, it couldn't and she isn't, retard.
>>201736026Didn't they generate half of this shit with AI?
>>201736073it's 4am, new fotm dropped>inb4 nooooooooo dericious inna dungeon is a crassic
>>201736026She rushed the final just to play balduers gate 3
>>201741163It was a very competent ending considering all the plot points she had to tie in.
>>201736026Japs have this idealistic view of the west.
>>201741557Nah, in this case it's just some chick who played a lot of Baldur's Gate growing up and incorporated aspects of western fantasy into her story.Kind of like how the guy who made Ajin liked Doom and older RPGs, or how the guy who made Chio-chan's School Road liked Splinter Cell.
>>201737288The best anime are made by westaboos.
>>201736026>competent but ordinary adult cast facing off against low-stake but still dangerous threats with non-flashy skillsets informed by their personalities and backgroundsThis alone is enough to sell me on a show
>>201736940Suntory's CEO is a woman
>>201737048it manages shifts in tone like Golden Kamuy did (humor isn't dirty though)
>>201737355>lies shamelesslylow effort
>>201742644I enjoyed this aspect of the story as well in the Grimgar anime (although it's completely different in tone and setting from DM), shame it never got a second season as I can't be bothered to read the light novel format.
>>201737897Complete autism that's besides the point of actual storytelling.A bland and lifeless world with bland and lifeless characters.>yeah so these microbes rebuild the dungeonWow tell me more Japanese Lady!
>>201737355>>autistic Japanese lady doesn't understand the actual appeal of fantasyneither did tolkien. it doesn't matter if you warp the idea as long as people like it, or you like it i guess.
I actually enjoy anime but this was fucking trash. I couldn't get through the third episode even if i forced myself to watch it in 5 minute segments. It's just so retarded how there's just no sense of urgency that is proportional to the cooking aspect>lol my sister got eaten by a dragon, let's dilly dally to make food and act all care free>oh some orcs just murdered the patrons at an inn, lol who cares because we got some fermented milk so we can cookI could probably live with that if it wasn't for the "humor" being that elf bitch being outraged about everything they cook and all the other stupid shit. I can even enjoy garbage like konosuba, vending machine isekai and campfire cooking but this is just so bad
>>201736073Frieren died around episode 7Dungeon Meshi got good about episode 4 and never got bad
>>201736073>I thought Frieren was supposed to be the generic fantasy show everybody likedit definitely is. I got free ticket to the biggest anime convention in my country since my friend was volunteering at the event.there was a huge number of frieren cosplayers. pretty much 9 out of 10 of the elves are frieren. on the other hand I only saw like 2 people cosplaying characters from dungeon meshi.the most surprising for me was that half the women cosplayers (mostly chinks) was cosplaying some kind of genshin characters. didn't know it was that popular
>>201743740>the most surprising for me was that half the women cosplayers (mostly chinks) was cosplaying some kind of genshin characters. didn't know it was that popularOh yeah, gatcha trash is really taking over from anime & superheroes as the go-to among the more professional cosplay sloots.
I love japanese version of classic fantasy. it's always so comfy and free of DEI crap
>>201744347Their idea of classic fantasy is some shitty JRPG and most of the fanboys are south americans and SEA monkeys. That's why they keep spitting out all these shitty isekais
>>201743740frieren benefits a lot just from subverting the archetypes of cliche isekai garbage.Like stark not getting bullied by his cooler brother or Wirbel being an evil edgelord just from his appearance
the original. even had a spin off about food.
>>201744819Frieren and Dungeon Meshi aren't Isekai though
>>201741810More Wizardry than Baldur's Gate
>>201745342Native isekai
>OP posting some faggot shit per usualBruh moment, more like Duh moment!
>>201736026Go back to /a/
>>201736026Autistic Japanese women owe me sex.
>>201736026-scans cast--zero barefooted waifus-Next....
>>201736026>How does this happen?they let her cook.
>>201736026Why don't you ask in /a/ where this shit belongs?
Thank you, but I prefer the real chinkshit show about 'eating' creatures.
>>201736963It's like watching a cooking show but all of the ingredients are fake. Then you see some soulless cartoon character react >MMMMMMMMMM SO DERICIOUS!!!
>>201743701That's because no one really dies in the dungeon...
>>201736824>it could be a slice of life thing and go on indefinitelyHoly shit that is the worst take i've ever seen
This thread is fucking retarded holy shitFuck am I doing on this shitty website talking with absolute mouthbreathing morons
>>201736963>>201746694Lmao, retards obviously talking out of their ass thinking this is just a cooking show. It's autistic (for real) man decides to eat monsters instead of buying food so he can get back to the dungeon faster and resurrect his sisters body before she's digested but him and his party stumble into the middle of a dick swinging contest between short lived races and elves while an eldritch abomination preys upon the autist to try and containment break from the dungeon and put all sentient beings into an existential hell of eternity while it fulfills all of their desires so it can feast on them. The amount of world building and thought that went into this series is autistic as fuck. Unironically the closes thing to LoTR japs have ever made.>>201743701Resurrection is an entire industry in the show. People literally go into the dungeons and revive all the dead bodies they can find for profit. Shit gets more serious when the healers start to get their heads literally stomped in.>>201746260The cat is barefoot. Also Halfelf wears strappy sandals that come off often. Ninja milf got nerfed in the anime, which gave her tabi when she was wearing stirrups in the manga.>>201747452shut up nigger, you're on 4chan, what did you expect?
>>201743701>>lol my sister got eaten by a dragon, let's dilly dally to make food and act all care free>>oh some orcs just murdered the patrons at an inn, lol who cares because we got some fermented milk so we can cookThat's how the Japs are, they are animals with no souls, they are literally the kind of people who dismember lizards as children and then graduate to mutilating and eating humans.

>>201746677HOLYthis series sounds kino. thanks
>>201736073Frieren hype died with the shitty wizard exam arc
>>201746677uoooh t'was too based so it got cancelt
>>201744347We need a full-blown revival to wash away what Western companies have done to fantasy.
>>201743182>A bland and lifeless worldNow that's just a straight up lie. Lore adds life to any setting, and there's a ton of fucking lore here. In no other fantasy world do you see living armor revealed to be a colony of mollusks. In no other fantasy world do you see mimic monsters revealed to be giant hermit crabs. Dragon's create fire by clicking their tongues to create a spark that ignites the gas they spit out. It's unreal how much unique lore this series has
>>201747773and uncensored masters DO exist, according to Funimation
>>201747853zigh
>>201746830Didn't they get into an entire shitstorm because they were dragging ass so long her body decomposed in the dragon so they made her into a homicidal dragon hybrid?
>>201747853Funimation is dead now so we better get those masters asap
>>201741810Minsc and Boo for life.
>>201747825he is being dishonest for (you)'s, don't fall for it.
is the anime good enough so I don't have to get the manga?
>>201743701>let's dilly dally to make food and act all care freeTo be fair, they need to rest too. The dungeon isn't a simple thing you can get through in an afternoonThere is a character you meet later on who doesn't take breaks and rushes in to the dungeon. This made him exhausted and not well.
>>201736026I can't stand animes where they eat food and then make stupid noises over how good it is
>>201747916>>201747919Seems like I precipitated too much.They are always one step ahead from us.https://jbox.com/shop/product/interspecies-reviewers-%E2%80%93-ishuzoku-reviewers-1-blu-ray>We're happy to see the full uncensored release of Ishuzoku Reviewers (Interspecies Reviewers), the super anime that famously got canceled from Funimation and other broadcast TV channels for having too much sexual content. Now you can get all that content with nothing censored or removed with the awesome limited Blu-ray release!
I want to have sex with elves
>>201741130People like you piss me off. This and that being fotm is such a huge concern but ask you about your opinions on classics like Towards the Terra or Giant Gorg and it's like I'm speaking a different languageAll "anime pros" on this fucking website are just posturing try hards
>>201748256Yes. Avoid the dub though.
>>201749267Real anime fans watch every 5/10 isekai released yesterday and nothing else
>>201749664No, they watch nothing and say nothing of substance.
>>201749807I tried to watch the first Gundam movie recently and I couldn't get through it, I guess it's where the trope of the kid not wanting to pilot the mech and being an annoying gaylord comes from though so that was at least interesting to find out
>>201737656Woman were not allowed to write in mediavel japan, full stop.
>>201736026The author really really hates the "Japanese" characters
>>201750113>typoYou are completely wrong. Samurai born women were required to be able to read and write, and the huge influence of Pure Land/Jodo Shu Buddhism from the 750s to today meant that all classes of Japanese were being taught to read&write. Japan had probably the highest literacy rate in the world from 1650-1868.
>>201736026Fuck off with this tumblr anime, autistBet you are enven from /a/ but a troon from /co/ who fell in love with it because it looks like a dogshit western cartoon
>>201741163>Balding Gay 3So she was actually a tranny? That explain why the characters are all hideous
>>201736026>we have anime at homekekAre we even sure this shit wasn't made in the west?
Couldn't care for the zelda cooking scenes. When it got good it got good but you have to plow through those meaningless scenes. >b-b-b-but it's za warudo buildinguuuuNo, it's not, dialogues are mostly some BS on how faunas behave in the dungeon accompanied by some real world cooking techniques and it's like that over and over again. Those scenes have no value whatsoever. Most world relevant conversation they have are during fights but then it's mostly how the world is similar to a table top game solid 6/10 for me
>>201736073Both are great.
>>201736940It's not 80s anymore bro.
>>201750113All most famous Japanese medieval writers were women. Literally the first novelist in history was a japanese woman.
>>201747825One of my latest favorite facts is the lion statues that distribute water throughout the dungeon have fangs made of unicorn horns to purify the water. I've also always loved the relationship between treasure bugs and mimics.
>>201736824>Slice of lifeYou are the reason we have either shitty all action toy commercial animes, jack off material for incel coomers and barely dressed up "slice of life" animes that are just jack off material for coomers. Can you really not be happy with an actual balance in a theme and story?
>>201745926heh the adaption was weak
>>201742751When are we getting the last season of Golden Kamuy?
>>201743701>lol my sister got eaten by a dragon, let's dilly dally to make food and act all care freeThe series makes a point to explain the importance of nutrition and rest several times. The entire reason they lost Falin was because they rushed. Furthermore they're under the believe that they have a significant time limit, and if you actually kept watching you'd know that they DO in fact make it back down to the dragon ridiculously fast, mostly thanks to Chilchuck's navigation, Laios' specialty in avoiding monsters, and the shortcut provided by the orcs.>oh some orcs just murdered the patrons at an inn, lol who cares because we got some fermented milk so we can cookNot their problem. But seriously, the bar was a den of crooks and vagabonds who they had nothing to do with. And since corpse retrieval is an actual industry in the universe, it's practically a given that the bodies left in such a well-visited location will likely be revived.
>>201747802After Edgerunners Im ready for Japanese takes on western universes/franchises.
>>201736026This looks gay as fuck like you and your dadYou troons have a board for this faggot shit
I can’t get into it. I think I’m up to episode 4 and it’s just “we can’t eat monsters/armour/ghosts/whatever the fuck” before “oh wait, we can, ITS DELICIOUS”.Frieren is 100x better
>>201736026Kino mangameh anime
>>201740886Not to mention she's the daughter of Itagaki.Yes, that Itagaki.
>>201736026>Sousou no Frieren >#1 highest rated all time>Dungeon Meshi >#62 highest rated all timeOP is a faggot.
