Where we talk about currently airing anime, anime that is airing RIGHT NOW. Because I have seen a lot of talk on 4/a/ about how they stay because of the seasonal threads, but nobody ever actually makes seasonal threads here, and I want to talk about eps as they come out too. Do please try to avoid source material spoilers (or at least actually use spoiler tags) because not all of us read the source material as stuff airs.

>>42485 You will never read this reply but the worldbuilding in MT is great and God-tier for isekai anime. Lowwits have been convinced that worldbuilding refers to how much "original" stuff is presented that differentiates your setting from Tolkien, and not the secondary intricate background machinations of a setting.
>>72465 Do it anyway. It's about the satisfaction of making your own things.
>>73851 That’s an interesting point because there have been many series with this sort of original settings but they felt stale and less fleshed out than this. It’s the difference in execution and writing ability. If you can’t write and execute your ideas doesn’t matter how original they are.

>>4597 So I found out something a little bit interesting while searching for anime officially posted on JewTube. Turns out that there's entire channels dedicated to posting marathon runs of anime series all as one video. By itself, this is nothing impressive as official channels like "It's Anime" posts marathon runs themselves: https://yewtu.be/playlist?list=PLhGamQZtJ7K-XKg7sUOhGUKIISa6oM0xR However, where things become interesting that these channels are not officially licensing the shows. Now, why do >we care? People pirate anime all the time, and sometimes post it on JewTube, so what? The difference with these channels is that they're asking for "donations" to keep posting content. To put it another way, they're illegally posting anime they don't have the rights to and making money off of it. These channels are committing the exact definition of piracy that companies and the government are so pissy about. Now I don't know what "can" or "should" be done about these channels, but the only thing I can think of is to avoid them like the plague. If you want to watch a series, download it from Nyaa or similar sites: https://prolikewoah.com/static-pages/animu-links.html If you want to give money for the purposes of acquiring a series, then buy the damn thing officially. But absolutely do not give your money to pirates. The "point" of internet piracy is to force these companies to compete with "free". Not give your money to a fucking Communist.

Was breddy gud. I still kinda feel like some lines in English should have had a passover by a native English speaker, but I think the original had that issue as well, and sometimes the Engrish feels like it's intentional and part of the joke. Felt like the first season, pretty hit or miss, but also fairly unique and fun overall. Sad they censored Garter's nigger lips because it's [CURRENT YEAR] +10. I'm going to have to go through the whole season again and get some spicy pics. Something I really liked was that they continued to push the boundaries of what nudity they were allowed to get away with, and they did so one step at a time too. First in the first episode they crudely depicted Panty's slit, but it was up close and pretty abstract. Then they showed her nipples a dozen times in one episode, and a couple times in later episodes, along with multiple instances of breast jiggling. Then they showed her bottomless slit in a non-close up, slightly less abrstact form for a moment in the prom scene. And lastly, they got away with putting tons of dicks in the Indiania Jones episode. >>72621 >I cannot stand the weeb though, he's just annoying. That's the point, I'd assume. >>73189 I fully expected them to do it again, but I have no idea whether it's genuine or not. >>72630 -oomer shit is the entire joke in the show though. The new fagboy angels show up and start spouting brainrot slang. Though it's hard to judge how much of that is creative liberties taken in translation for lack of analogous slang term. They even say b-o-o-m-e-r.

黙ってこれを受け取れ! Anonymous 11/01/2025 (Sat) 14:19:26 Id: e8b03b No. 74380 [Reply]
This sci-fi time-travel concept is yours to adapt into manga or anime. No royalties, no credit needed. Go wild! The year is 2026. Akira (仮) is a depressed and lonely reclusive coder/hacker in his early 30s. Times are bad. Pandemics, wars, lies, censorship, AI take-over… He wants to go back to happier times when everything was great and writes a time travel script, using a newly discovered mathematical concept called Quantum Dissolution — simply executing the script is enough to travel 20 years back in time to 2006. Except, when he does it, a new timeline is created and the original universe is dissolved to provide energy for that new timeline. He successfully travels to 2006 in his 2026 body, but destroys his original 2026 universe to do so. Coincidentally, after the time jump, the boy in 2006, who the protagonist used to be, is hit by a car on his way from school and dies. But now the version of him from 2026 lives happily in 2006 with all his loved ones still around. No censorship, no pandemics, anime is great, and most of the tragedies didn't happen yet. He predicts a few disasters, makes a couple of sci-fi pitches to publishers. He even dates his old school teacher who is in her 20s now. Time passes, it's 2012, and Akira (仮) is 6 years older, approaching 40. He is content with his life, married to that teacher who is now pregnant. But then he finds out that someone else, a depressed and lonely reclusive woman in her early 30s, naimed Eiko (仮), wants to write that time travel script and travel back to 1992, when she was happy. And of course Akira (仮) knows that it will destroy the universe of departure. The cat-and-mouse game ensues… Akira (仮) to find Eiko (仮) and stop her, so he can save his pregnant teacher-wife. The arc ends with him finding Eiko (仮) in a rundown apartment in Osaka, but she executes the script at the end of their dialogue. She immediately jumps to 1992 and he watches what the dissolving universe looks like for some time. His wife vanishes into the static. Then he manages to find a terminal that still works somehow and types his own time-travel script to follow Eiko (仮) to 1992. They both succeed, and end up in their adult bodies in the year 1992, and the 2012 universe is no more. After the ending roll, there's a sneak peak of S2: a guy in 2000 writing a script to go back to 1980.

>>74456 First draft is always the worst, here's the quickest patches I could think of >Akira exterminates the Universe as if nothing had happened and yet he didn't kill one more person to preserve his timeline without hesitating. Would he have been aware of the consequences before he time warps? If no, you could have a dramatic "what have I done" sort of moment when he finds out that greater emphasizes the stakes of it happening again. How he finds out and not the girl I'm debating on how to handle because of the other problem. >Akira discovering a script-kiddie not once but twice (implied) seems too improvable Programming forums for unique/special interests catching the MC's eyes, wouldn't be too out of place, plus for her to even find the script she kinda needs him due to it being "recent" in the future, so who else could've developed it in the past? >is his timeline unique Sounds like only one timeline is ever active if the previous one gets destroyed, so no multiple timeline shenanigans for this series. Unless... >there're people trying to obliterate the world each 10 years (actually more often) each time the destruction happens 10 years earlier, Couple of potential series ending answers to that one: Destroying the time travel code, solving whatever "original sin" is causing people to jump back so much, refining the code to salvage something from a previous timeline; it's definitely the most open ended problem and furthest away from "needing" to be solved unless it's doomed to last only one season.
>>74462 >Would he have been aware of the consequences before he time warps? He'd have no idea in 2026, since he was the first time-jumper and not a physicist. But he learns about it after the jump. How? Perhaps he caught a glimpse of it as he was already jumping, or the information simply got "uploaded" into his mind by the script and now he's having nightmares. In my opinion it's a technical triviality and the story is more about the philosophy of individual happiness and nostalgia. >Programming forums for unique/special interests catching the MC's eyes, wouldn't be too out of place, plus for her to even find the script she kinda needs him due to it being "recent" in the future, so who else could've developed it in the past? This seems like the best approach to it. >Sounds like only one timeline is ever active if the previous one gets destroyed Indeed. There's energy for only one timeline which is why the original is always consumed as fuel. >Couple of potential series ending answers to that one: Destroying the time travel code, solving whatever "original sin" is causing people to jump back so much, refining the code to salvage something from a previous timeline; it's definitely the most open ended problem and furthest away from "needing" to be solved unless it's doomed to last only one season.

>>74380 What is the pull here? The concept isn't very existentially interesting because a) It is extremely arbitrary, deriving itself from no physical principle or idea And b) It isn't explored or thought out. There is no deliberation about the consequnces or reasons. Thing just happen If I were writing it, I would set it to be about a mad scientist who does this, goes back to before he was born and lives out a full life, then his grand daughter has inherited both his capacities and miseries in a world he could not change and he has to try to save her from the world he ran from, while also avoiding letting her invent the thing that kills everyone Then make it a narrative metaphor for suicide or avoiding your problems instead of a plot device with no plot to device upon Don't focus so much on the abstract sci-fi idea if you aren't going to flesh it out. put more into the backround of it and the affects Also everyone has an anime idea. Some people have dozens. There's no need for a false pretense of sharing to talk about your idea. They are fun

Felt the thread needed one. Starting with some amusing news. No Game No Life Creator Fires Back At Western Reader Bitching About No Dark-Skinned Characters https://boundingintocomics.com/2023/03/09/no-game-no-life-creator-fires-back-after-western-reader-criticizes-series-lack-of-dark-skinned-characters/ >Yet, despite the game taking place in a fully fictional country, a Western reader unsurprisingly took issue with the fact that Disboard did not exactly parallel real-world history. >On March 2nd, Kamiya took to Twitter to reveal that they had recently “received a scolding DM from a foreign reader who said ‘There were brown-skinned people in medeival and early modern Europe, why don’t they appear in your work?'” >Responding directly to this accusation, the Brazillian-Japanese creator declared, “First of all Disboard is not in Europe.” >“Were there furry ears or elves in medieval Europe?,” he added before noting “Also, there are usually brown-skinned characters.” >It should be noted that one of the sixteen different sentient races who have a seat at the table of Disboard politics are the dwarves, all of whom are noticably more tan than their peers. >However, as they did not appear in the series’ anime adaptation nor have they made their debut in its manga version, it seems that this fan had not fully engaged with Kamiya’s work before attempting to rake him over the coals. >Ultimately, the entire interaction left Kamiya wondering if they would have a better understanding of the fan’s mentality if, instead of leaving for Japan with his parents at the age of 7, he had lived out his life in the United States. >“I wonder if I wouldn’t understand it because I am now completely close to the Japanese,” said the creator. Didn't realize the NGNL creator was half-brazilian, kek.

>>74302 Well, yeah but they just don't care. Also, something very similar to this happened to american cartoon when Hanna Barbera started. The story is just repeating itself.
>Foreign Markets Now Make Up Over Half of Japan’s Record ¥3.84 Trillion Industry https://archive.ph/HGSUe <According to the Anime Industry Report 2025, set for release this December by the Association of Japanese Animations (AJA), the total global anime market reached an unprecedented ¥3.84 trillion in 2024 — a 14.8% increase from 2023. Of that, ¥2.17 trillion came from overseas sales — a staggering 26% jump from the previous year — while domestic revenue grew by only 2.8%, reaching ¥1.67 trillion. <The data makes one thing clear: anime’s international appeal has never been stronger. What was once a niche export has become Japan’s biggest cultural product, outperforming music, film, and even gaming in global reach. Streaming services, global fan conventions, and social media fandoms have turned Japanese animation into a mainstream fixture far beyond its home country. <The AJA’s findings note that foreign demand now accounts for more than half of all industry income, solidifying a shift that began in the mid-2010s. Anime studios increasingly rely on international licensing deals, overseas Blu-ray sales, and collaborative productions with Western distributors to keep profit margins healthy. <While domestic figures remain steady, the local market has matured — meaning the future of anime’s growth lies almost entirely overseas. Naturally, true anime fans are concerned that anime will become even further sanitized, getting rid of things that were once acceptable in anime for the sake of the so-called “global audience”. >Anime studio bankruptcies and closures continue to rise for third consecutive year in Japan https://archive.ph/IyGtP <The number of Japanese anime production companies going bankrupt or closing down is expected to increase for the third consecutive year in 2025, according to a new report by Teikoku Data Bank. <The forecast is based on what we’ve seen during the first nine months of the year, with two anime studios filing for bankruptcy, and six others suspending or dissolving business operations, bringing the total number of companies leaving the industry to eight. Teikoku Data Bank points out that the rate at which studios are closing down this year is on par with 2018, which saw a record high of such cases (16 in total). <Not only that, but when including small subcontractors and freelance animators working in anime production, the actual number of companies and professionals exiting the industry is likely much higher. <Of note, the bankruptcies and closures in the past few years have not been limited to studios doing secondary anime production work, but have also impacted so-called prime and gross contractors (studios capable of fully completing anime projects in-house) just as heavily. Roughly half of the anime production companies that exited the market in the past five years were primary or gross studios, like Ekachi Epilka, Cloud Hearts and Studio5. <This comes despite the anime market reaching record high growth as of 2024. The main cause appears to be Japan’s severe manpower shortage, which has led to what Teikoku calls a “profitless boom” among production companies. With the increasing number of anime titles being made, studios have come to face surging project orders that outpace their capacity. As a solution, some companies are forced to extend production periods (and thus increase labor costs), which diminishes their profit margins. Others have resorted to outsourcing to overseas studios, only to be faced with soaring costs caused by the yen’s depreciation against the dollar. <To make matters worse, industry professionals say that the practice of outsourcing animation “for cheap” from overseas studios and then having domestic staff “fix” the subpar quality work has caused skilled key animation directors to suffer from burn out and resign, creating a kind of vicious cycle. >“No interference in creative works.” Japanese government proposes new policy for anime and game expansion in the West

Anyone been watching this anime? It's actually kinda enjoyable. Basically the story is about an introvert who picks up the guitar after being upset that she never made friends in middle school and is dragged into a high school band by pure chance. Honestly, I think the anime has a lot of charm and I'm looking forward to seeing if a season 2 will ever be made or if I'll start the manga next week ater the final episode airs.
