Ash is gettting retired after 25 years, the final episode was yesterday and the next 11 episodes will center around all of Ash's former companions telling his story throughout the years, a recap of the 25 years of his journey if you will. 2nd pic are the new protagonists for the next series, but it's mostly focusing on the girl How does this make you feel?

RWBY - I'm An Anime Now Anonymous 03/30/2022 (Wed) 18:46:12 No. 740 [Reply]
RWBY Ice Queendom is a new anime set for release in the summer of 2022 and produced by Studio SHAFT in Japan. A genuine RWBY anime. It's here, let it stay don't relegate to /co/ or elsewhere. Monty's dream has moved to Japan as an anime and will keep moving forward! https://youtu.be/tjmBDfulaGk

The combination of the two styles of animations gives me headaches and makes my eyes blur. I could watch it or tolerate a little more if was just cgi or traditional animation.
>>740 Feminist garbage.
>>1584 The RWBY anime was ironically better than the canon volumes.

First of all HOW IN THE FUCK was the protagonist able master 48 style of combat while in fucking high school? I could understand if it was some grizzled assassin or something like that but why on gods earth did the author make him a high school student? I think the idea of someone going insane from media to the point that they try to learn magic just because they want to have equal power to a nuke is kinda cool, but fuck me sideways if they didn't make him too young. Another thing that bothers me is his fucking harem and how he somehow guessed that there was a cult in society rather than just learning it from a young age. He's the biggest mary sue and it bothers me on spiritual level. I swear if I get reincarnated into an Isakai, I hope it's as the same world as Cid so I can poor water on him. Seriously, I fucking hate this manga but I also kinda like it as well. Like there's some interesting twists and turns, but I fucking hate the protagonist.

>>1393 Honest to God I think the Nips were better off during the Edo period or even the Sengoku period.
>>1391 >>1393 >young retards who self insert into the fictional works That's the entire fucking reason, that's literally it. No need to overthink it, anytime when the mc is an adult he's usually fucking neet or closeted otaku with a job.
>>1519 It's media aimed squarely at this age demographic, look at literally every single piece of YA novels the protagonists are always teenagers.

How do you deal with the existential dread that occurs after you finish an animu/mango? Anonymous 12/14/2022 (Wed) 21:28:56 No. 1549 [Reply]
Reaching the end of the story and knowing that there is nothing more to tell about the lives of the characters I had barely grown fond of creates an overwhelming emptiness that takes weeks to fade away. No more stories, no more funny or sad events, it's as if everyone died without actually dying. I hate this feeling. Is one of the reasons I don't read/watch media as much as before.
1 post omitted.
>>1550 I used a translator for that part, sorry. I mean that the stories end just when I am enjoying the characters the most.
>>1552 Oh, okay then. Sometimes ya just gotta take a few weeks and just let yourself "breathe" from it. I haven't gone through what you're going through in a long time, its tough when it happens. the last time that happened to me was 8 years ago when I first saw my favorite anime, I kept rewatching it over and over, especially the ending parts I probably rewatched it 6-8 times or something, and just wept a lot because the pain wouldn't go away, it was an extremely bittersweet anime at the ending. It took a long time to recover from that, I haven't really gone through anything on that scale since then. These days something great more just "sticks" with me if it brings me to tears, but I can look back on it fondly generally and just like "thinking" about it, writing thoughts or opinions down, or trying to see if other people felt similarly about it. I usually talk with a sibling about the anime I watch so that's also a release valve for these kinds of things for me. Though maybe I "consume" anime more these days, and more quickly, rather than experiencing it more slowly and letting it really sink in, its hard to tell. One of the ways I try to "fill the void" is to just find something else to watch/do or grab my attention, until it kinda fades I guess? Though again, its kinda like someone who eats a good meal at the buffet, and tries to find another good dish or something; probably a difference in mindset.

>>1549 >>1554 Its just something you learn to deal with, and move on. Sometimes you don't need external assistance and sometimes you do. Moving on is important, else you get stuck in thought alone. Kinda like in real life.

Non-Seasonal Anime Thread Anonymous 11/29/2022 (Tue) 02:17:27 No. 1299 [Reply]
One thing I've noticed is that other /a/ boards tend to obsess over, and concentrate all their activity in threads for the latest seasonal shows. But can we have a thread for discussing less recent anime that was popular? For example, I missed the boat on Lyrical Nanoha some years back and only wound up watching it recently. I fell in love with it, but there's nowhere to talk about it with other fans. Similarly with Darling in the Franxx, which I really wish would get a sequel with a better planned ending.

(15.77 MB 840x480 Yakitate ED2-.mp4)

I tend to miss the boat on seasonal stuff pretty frequently, which is a shame because most of the discussion happens then, and then it craters off a cliff. >>1299 I hear very mediocre things about Darling in the Franxx whenever it gets talked about, it seems like its honeymoon/FOTM period wore off and so many people hate it now; I know next to nothing about it though besides what that one chick character looks like, and the fact that Trigger made it. >>1300 I mean, good writing from slice of life/comedy anime already sounds kind of like a weird thing to be expecting. If you want things that actually "try" to be well-written, shouldn't you look for more plot and continuity-focused anime? It sounds almost like you're expecting these things to be something they are not. Its also very hard to integrate highly specific knowledge into a show without being autistic and turning off much of the audience. In terms of something like that, I've only seen Yakitate!! pull it off successfully as of late, which I really liked a lot.

I'm feeling pretty nostalgic to zero no tsukaima but thinking back on it there was a lot of things that sucked about it. I kinda wish I could for something like it but actually good. Also besides the first Macross what else is recommended in that series.
>>1301 So DITF is great if you're into character-driven stories. They nailed a unique take on tragic romance, and there were a couple scenes that nearly jerked tears out of me despite all the action and explosions. But then the last 4 episodes or so just go full Gurren Lagann out of nowhere, pulls new villains out of its ass, and feels like an ending made for a completely different show. That stunt soured a lot of people on it, and while I still love it, it took the series from a 9/10 to maybe a 5-6 real fast.

Since nips speak like weird cavemen I was wondering if subs where they are written in the order the actual words are being spoken. It's quite odd hearing words at the beginning of a sentence that are being written at the end of the sentence in the subtitle because they are depicting it how non-cavemen would structure a sentence.
Japanese is like mystic runes drawings and casting a magic spell.

Which anime did you use to watch as a kid? I can't find good quality pictures for some of these Sorry

Naruto. And more Naruto.
I used to read Dragonball and watched bleach and naruto like most weebs. Beyond that I also watched a lot of eechi shows like seikon no qwaser and ladies versus butlers. Good times.
Kimba the White Lion. I am not Analockman, although I understand his pain. My first Anime crush was teenage Yumi in Ulysses 31.

Dear Zoomers, If you ever call her just "Lum" again, put a gun in your mouth. Also, Ian Faggoten is proving xirself by not having any clue about the characters and dropping fake-subs that aren't anything they would ever say. It's no surprise the remake is getting a luke-warm reception, looking like, and being treated as, a anachronistic sexist romcom, which anyone who watched/read the original knows isn't true.

>>1179 >The MC in Urusei Yatsura was super bland That's primarily because the manga has the same five jokes that it just repeats constantly, with the only real change happening whenever another alien shows up. But, my views my be colored by the fact that it felt so similar to Yuu and Mii, which came out nine years later.

> they could cash in hard on the tranny craze. Faggoten would reword all the scenes where Ranma insists on his male identity because that's transphobic thoughts, guaranteed.

Want a dakimakura while working on a complete overhaul of my bedroom after getting tired of the dating-game for real. Anonymous 10/19/2022 (Wed) 09:29:44 No. 1165 [Reply]
Never bought a Dakimakura, now want to, because I feel so tired of the dating-game already. Had 2 marriages and I just stopped giving a fuck now. Want to go full retard and turn my bedroom into a embarrassing sissy-heaven. Already bought embarrassing bed-linen with funny farm-animals and hearts on it, got some pink waterproof matress-covers and rugs. Had some plushies, but they all don't have SPHs, now want to get a Dakimakura with SPH, but don't want to spent insane amounts of cash, since I already bought so much stuff for my new bedroom. Trying to get Dakimakuras or just fuckable pillows is really artificially harder than for women to get a dildo out of the deals and choices they have.

Bleach Thread. Anonymous 12/19/2021 (Sun) 02:04:35 No. 674 [Reply]
A preview trailer of what's to come for the animated adaptation of the Vandenreich arc of Bleech is soon to come out in 2022. It looks a hell of a bit better than the original anime at first glance though granted it's been nearly 10 years since the last episode aired back in 2012 during it's original run in Japan.

Bleach was a great manga and I considered Bleach more or less complete. Any idea why it came back? Looks good as an anime anyway.

>>257 It was actually so good! I though tit was pretty poopy and generic at first but then by episode 3 I knew what it was up to and everything got ultra super mega final turbo galactic comfy. Season 2 confirmed so it's just a matter of time now but already I can't WAIT for more character songs by Kyaru
