>>74068 I really question how, it really feels their entire relationship is built on suspended bridge effect copium. They only ever talk heart to heart whenever they almost fucking died and even then the relationship still has progressed jack squat (they are not technically even a couple yet) despite being into basically season 9 content in the manga by now.

>>74006 >>74024 IMO the problem with shounenshit isn't so much centered around no romance, that's more like a symptom than the illness. The core problem IMO is basically it's a format forced to end on an epic cliffhanger literally every single week, and when chapters last a single fucking scene tops, it really starts to strain the narrative. There's not much any author can do when they are forced to go from epic fight scene to "aura farming" scene back to epic fight scene. It's even worse in the zoomnig era thanks to tiktok rotting everyone's attention span, back in the day jojo part 1-2 or YYH were pretty to the point and didn't have much depth to them yes, but after they hit their stride we could see that was mangaka's inexperience and the format did allow for some depth. But now? Good luck getting any nuggets of depth between fight scenes, and romance is the one thing that always gets sidelined first for more fight scenes.

>>74075 Yeah that too, the anime already showed the musicians fight scene where he has far better chemistry with aira than with momo. And to think of it, this means momo is pretty fucking useless for the plot fights unless said plot bends over backwards to make her powers extremely important to win.

Tsuyokute New Saga and Mynoghra are out.

>>74007 >That's been a meme for centuries in storytelling. You're going to have to be more specific than that. I don't think you get to just handwave away the damage madoka did to the magical girl genre just like that. >Have you read Cutey Honey, where the entire climax of the series is everyone dying (In an attempt to parody Devilman, which was by the same author)? No, and it sounds like the exact same type of tryhard goykuso I'm complaining about, so I have no plans to. >Another classic series where everyone dies in the end is Outlander. And Ideon. You don't have to keep padding my "avoid" list like that anon. >Probably because, outside of torture porn and for laughs in vidya/VN dialogue choices, people don't actually like reading about outright evil characters? Even Drakenguard "justifies" itself on the basis that the world is ending. It's less the evil character thing (light yagami and ainz have huge fanbases mind you) and more the holier than thou tone of LE SUBVERSIVE authors. >Do you remember this obscure piece of Western literature called Les Miserable, where a guy was unjustly sentenced to years of salvery because he stole a piece of bread? A better example would have been monte cristo. >You're complaining about the genre of reverse-harem series for girls? I have read a couple of those, and I agree that they are shit, but that does not make up the "majority" in any way whatsoever. Are you intentionally trying to derail the pointer from the anime that comes from novels based on a nonexistent otome game to outright actually existing otome games? >Okay, what did they actually "remove"? Fanservice mostly, so normalniggers can show it to their Shōwa ojisan parents for approval and not feel "cringe" while doing so. >Would the 1970's manga Lady Snowblood also fall into that category? I legitimately have no clue why the fuck do you keep bringing up ancient literal who shit.

>>74026 >No, and it sounds like the exact same type of tryhard goykuso I'm complaining about, so I have no plans to. It's a "magical girl" series from the 70's, and one of the cornerstones of anime >It's less the evil character thing (light yagami and ainz have huge fanbases mind you) and more the holier than thou tone of LE SUBVERSIVE authors. Is it really an example of subversion, or just following the simple fact that people like heroes? >A better example would have been monte cristo. You do realize that you're proving the point that you hate stories tropes that have existed as a part of storytelling, and treating it like it's a "recent" trend. >Are you intentionally trying to derail the pointer from the anime that comes from novels based on a nonexistent otome game to outright actually existing otome games? Could you rephrase the question? >Fanservice mostly First, not every single anime "has" to have fan service. Second, how can you "remove" something that the original series didn't have? The only recent series that I know of that went out of it's way to outright censor fanservice that the original had is the Bocchi The Rock anime and the Urusei Yatsura remake. >bringing up ancient literal who shit. It's the manga and film that inspired Kill Bill. You REALLY must be a newfag or a casual to not know about this shit and be angry when people bring them up.

>>74025 QRD? First time I hear of this.

Discussing it with halfchan /a/ while it was airing was peak enjoyment.

>>60656 It was absolutely hilarious. I think it was really the last time we had an anime that had such fun threads.

I once heard that there was some interview where they talked about some ideas for a sequel that had Ange conquering worlds for some reason. Anyone knows anything?

>>73949 Hearing things like this terrifies me because I can't even know how much I'm missing. I still haven't started learning JP and doubt I ever will beyond extremely basic stuff

>>73968 if you like how dialogue sounds in anime, the wordplay, ways of thinking (this is translatable with a long TL note) in japanese and so on, maybe it's worth it to learn. but you don't have to ever open a book to understand 90% of slice of life anime. listen, tune your brain into the grammar as it flows, like learning math or physics, and deliberately look up every word you don't know on jisho.org. you will have vast anime vocabulary with low effort in what, less than 10 cours.

>>73968 Good news, learning is surprisingly easier than people give it credit for, the average westerner is just rather dumb and can't do so. Bad news, you are missing out on so much that simply trying to describe it in any detail will just make you think it's just hyperbole, you basically have to learn JP yourself to really get how bad it was, point which it would be absurdly obvious. You start realizing how bad it is just by N4 however, sometimes earlier.

>>73890 Actually, isn't it weird ecelebs no longer give details like that anymore? In the past they were effectively video bloggers (hence "vlogger") and fairly personal in terms of what they showed to the camera. These days they can tell sob stories but still feel sterile and curated for the "global audience". They don't even feel like real people anymore.

>>73895 How the fuck would I know? I can't name a single eceleb. Anyways it probably goes like this: >eceleb says he likes Kishirika but in a non-lolicon way >immediately gets cancelled for being a lolicon >changes name and becomes a vtuber (female oneesan model (D cup)) streaming with voice changer >never exposes any personal information ever again Fuck cancel culture. Fuck terminally online brainlets assuming shit and starting baseless accusations.

why would you willingly type out 7 lines about ec*lebs

>Try watch anime >am distracted by videogames or discord or other things happening on my computor, dropped at ep1 >Try read manga on my phone in bed to fall asleep >it's 5AM I have finished the series I am fucked >Try read LN >remember I am straight+male, read manga with fat titties instead

>>60451 Rising of the Shield Hero desperately needs a video game like it, but the problem is that its mechanics are too advanced/complex for modern game development, its something I hope to see in the future. For one thing, everything in that world looked very cool, the sheer level of interactivity with the character's weapons was amazing. (e.g. the fact that the MC could put almost anything into his shield and end up transforming it from a storage unit, to pure utility, to damage, to defense, to buffs, etc.), on top of just more broken mechanics, and the fact that the gameplay and character mechanics can change based on your knowledge, perceptions, personality, emotions and reactions to the world around you, as well as the role you take in the world. Plus its got a good story and premise and whatnot baked in with the whole "spawn into a (part of the) world that reviles you and forces you to approach the world differently to everyone else". And the anime adaptation makes the "UI" for the world look really satisfying and engaging to handle, plus I like the general design aesthetics of it too. This is a topic I've been wanting to make on /v/ for a while but I've always ended up forgetting before I ended up making an OP for it, but this is one of those rare works where I'm downright hungering for a game that could fulfill the work's ambitions. Unfortunately if anyone ever does make a game for it, it'll probably end up being low-effort garbage like the "VNs" that companies churn out for a lot of the popular isekai, even though a franchise like this deserves a high-budget, effort-filled game to do it justice. I think it would be genuinely fantastic if a proper company with the will, talent, vision and money would ever take on a project like this. People love to say shit like "SAO" but honestly Shield Hero looks more to me like a "game from the future" than anything I've seen in an anime so far. It would be like a sandbox RPG in terms of character freedom to interact with the world and characters, but with a genuine plot and tension built in thanks to the waves, along with worldbuilding and characters that actually matter so you aren't just jerking around the whole time without consequences like some faggot. Keep in mind I haven't watched or read past season 1 of Shield Hero so far, I'm planning to get around to it but from what I've seen of it, I think it would make for a great game. The only game closest to this in terms of breadth of interactivity in an RPG setting I can think of is Runescape, but it still wouldn't come close to a lot of the other things about this hypothetical game.
