>>74717 Account requirement is about halfchan, not boorus. An 'anonymous imageboard' with mandatory accounts. What a joke. And it also uses Cloudflare, of course. In terms of art sites, boorus mostly allow viewing unlogged (for now). But ArtStation, for example, introduced mandatory accounts for viewing not so long ago. They then lifted that restriction from some SFW content, but that created a precedent for any less SFW platform to also introduce mandatory accounts if they are ever pressured by Cloudflare or others. And pressured they will be, unless they switch to someone less netorareed.

The only thing I can think of is Japanese translations replacing their religious undertones with Nordic and Greek references, but that's not what the guy crying about. He was crying specifically about "Christians" being the problem by inserting (Specifically their) religion where there was none.

Or, better yet, "replace" the explicitly Buddhist/Shinto religious instances seen in the work with Christian ones, like you previously declared? While I'm fairly certain it has happened myself and only doubt his claims of frequency, why ask this question when I've already asked it and he's already refused to provide even a single example? >Like I was asking the other guy, where has this actually happened? I don't have any examples of this, and I don't think I could easily find any, because I believe it's fairly rare, which is my point of contention with the Redditor. I'm failing to find any simply by looking it up, but I won't be quick to deny even a single example exists out there. Search engines have gotten actively worse over time though, and I can't even find any large comprehensive list of games or anime censored in translation in general.

>>74749 >why ask this question Because I'm genuinely curious about if this has ever actually happened. Especially when how the guy began autistically screeching the moment someone brought up Christianity. The biggest "stretch" I could see is some game using Biblical names, but that's also because those are common names here in the West; like Issac, David, Joseph, Mary, etc. >Search engines have gotten actively worse over time though Mojeek and Exa have proven to be rather reliable for me. And if I couldn't find something through either of those, I've fallen back on Startpage and Yahoo. Try using some of the ones list here: >>>/pol/46181 Also, just realized something about one his earlier posts: >>74623 >In fact, imagine Major even saying "kami-sama" in every other sentence like that religious midwestern nutjob who translated it that way. The guy doesn't even know that 「神様」 is the generic catch-all term in Japanese for "god", and there is a significant different between using that or something else. They do have「ゴッド」, but that's a term specifically used in reference to Christianity's God, Yahweh. There is also「上帝」, which refers to "the creator" and is used in reference to Yahweh, but originally was meant in reference to the Chinese god Shangdhi. Then you have 「鎮守」, which is the god who is specifically protects a region or building. Then there's also the eccentricities of "politness" in the Japanese language, that entirely changes which words you're allowed to use in which situations and who can specifically use them. I just found the entire thing odd because of how the guy reacted like Christianity is a plague upon the Earth and "runing everything" when Japan is, ironically, one of the most Christian friendly countries out there. <Getting a lot of mileage out of this webm I wonder how the guy would react to Meiji period works that use entire Bible chapters entirely out of context, or that you can find Moses' grave in Ishikawa.

Post about a series that you just finished Anonymous 07/29/2020 (Wed) 17:37:30 No. 181 [Reply] [Last]

Time to make this thread again. Here's an archive of the last thread on 8kunt: https://archive.vn/EAtrt So, I decided to drop UFO Senshi Dai Apolon after 17 episodes. It's not a bad series, it's okay, but I just grew bored with the show. The premise is that Takeshi is the prince of a planet that was conquered by the Dazaan Army, and was sent to Earth as a baby in order to ensure his survival. He then grows up in an orphanage, and gains a passion for American football while living there. Then, on his 16th birthday, he is struck by a meteor that imbues him with the Key Energy power that his planet's people had developed as their "ultimate weapon". Takeshi and his friends are then abducted by his guardian, Rabi, who informs him of his origin and gives him and his friends a giant robot, Dai Apolon, and several UFOs in order to fight off the Dazaan Army and protect the Key Energy that now reside within Takeshi. The rest of the series then details the Dazaan Army's various attempts to gain the Key Energy along with trying to figure out the true identity Dai Apolon's pilot. The series boils down to three different episode were something effects the "UFO Boy Scouts" on a personal level, some outsider gets involved in the fights, or the leaders of the Dazaan Army are trying out one of their various "just created" super-weapons to defeat Dai Apolon. It's pretty formulaic, and it just feels like an attempt to sell toys. There are some moments in the series were it does decide to get a little bit more "mature" with it's premise as innocent people are dying during some of the episodes, but it feels like it's there just to be there and show how "evil" the villains are (As if mass genocide and enslavement across the galaxy wasn't reason enough). And, the show never really moves beyond that. There are a few times were the Dazaans do some espionage and end up kidnapping the wrong people thinking they have times to Dai Apolon, along with some general rivalries and tensions taking place within the various generals of the Dazaan Army, but it never really moves beyond that or does anything unique with it. As for the animation, the art is fine but the show feels very stilted and limited in it's animation. And, with the audio, there really isn't much music to speak of, the sound effects are great, but all the voices sound like the characters are always shouting no matter what they say. Overall, I wasn't really that impressed with UFO Senshi Dai Apolon. Like I said, it isn't a bad series, but I just grew too bored with it to the point that I didn't care about finishing it off.

And now I finished off Cybersix Before you get your panties in a a wad: <1 This is hosted on TMS' official Jewtube account as well, with you being able to find the series here: https://redirect.invidious.io/playlist?list=PLj2Ugc-vxcWG40YiVkqJql0vge0qy_TGF <2. The Japanese creators were much more involved when it came to developing on the series, like how majority of the episodes were written by Takeuchi Kouji and directed by Furuya Keiichirou, when it wasn't the rest of the office staff (Though strangely EVERYONE who worked on this show had some previous experience working on Lupin The 3rd, be it the shows proper or something else) <3. It has an official AniDB page: https://anidb.net/a1524 <4. Thus far, I don't have any other "anime the looks like a Western cartoon" to talk about, unless I decide to watch Sherlock Hound or Anisava The premise for the series is that a Dr. Frankenstein wannabe wants to rule the world and figures that the best way to do so is unleash his creations, all of which are references to horror movies (There's even an episode that's a takeoff of The Birds), on the unsuspecting citizens of Meridian City. The logic is that this will show his "power" and then threaten to do the same elsewhere unless they bow to his demands. However, there to foil his plans is Cyber-6, one of his "failed" creations that has gone rogue and has made it her life's mission to foil Dr. Frankenstein's plans of world domination. And as for why he didn't know how SHE was still alive, it's because she disguised herself as the male high school literature teacher Adrian Seidelman. However this choice of an alter ego has caused some "problems" for her as she begins to fall for her fellow biology teach Lucas, including getting rather close to him emotionally when she isn't in a disguise. Adding to the list of problems, C6 cannot actually find the good doctor because he is in hiding and has his "son" Jose actually being the one unleashing the monsters for majority of the episodes. To put it simply, the show's setup and development is typical "monster of the week" shenanigans, starring a character that is effectively a "female Batman". I'm not really complaining about the show being cliche, but you may feel more inclined to watching something else if it wasn't for the show's animation. The animation is actually one of the most excelling aspects of the series. Everything is very fluidly animated, and it comes across like there was "no expense spared" when it came to the budget (Of $360k). In fact, I'd say that it's one of the best animated television series even to this day. Just a shame that the voice acting feels standard (Not bad, just average), and the sound effects use the same stock library as every video game from the early 2000's. Even have to sort of admit that I didn't really care for the show's music, especially since it most repeats a stringed version of the main theme. Overall, I would give Cybersix a solid recommendation. It may be "average" in several respects, but the animation is why it's worth watching. Just too bad that it ends on a mild cliffhanger. If anything, it at least makes me want to look for scanlations of the comic (Which has never been official released in full outside of Argentina).

>>1015 So, the whore who portrayed Gozyu Unicorn was fired for underage drinking. Is the rumor that she is a literal prostitute (a "host") aside from "actress" true? Some news pointed out that she was caught drinking while working at a whorehouse ("host club"). And also, Sentai is dead. That is what happens when you diversify: you fail. Sentai should always be made by men, for men (or boys). Not for girls. Sentai was great when it had underage whore showing their butts and panties to the audience. But by the 2000s, Sentai became a parade of faggots and plank-bodied ugly women, made for women. Then the franchise died as of 2025, with the announcement of a new show format taking it's place by 2026.

>>74678 The current news in Japan mention that she was stalking the stuntman for Gozyu Wolf (the red ranger) after having an affair with him and getting dumped by him for being a psychopath bitch. Which is reinforced by older interviews were she admitted that she doesn't actually acts for her character, but just behaves as herself (if true, that explains a lot, as her character is basically a extorting psychopath whore). Said stuntman was complaining about the risks of having her on set trying to create a false narrative in order to make a false report about being 'sexually abused" after being dumped. So Toei and her agency did the right thing and fired her. It is good to see Japan giving zero tolerance to feminism. Whores like her ruin the lives of Men, and those whores deserve to be burned alive at stakes, like it was done before, when society was smarter. Hopefully the Yakuza gets her and she "disappears" or shows up dead from "suicide" or some "accident".
