Do you watch seasonal anime as it comes out? Do you wait until the season is over to binge? Do you not follow seasonalshit at all? And perhaps most importantly regardless of your previous answer, do you then go read the source material if you liked it?

>>73774 It's always funny seeing so called independent thinkers that just so happen to have their opinions align 1:1 with the consensus from ecelebs and reddit.
>>73061 (OP) if it's something story-focused then i wait till it's over to start watching it (sometimes it might take years), otherwise i watch it as it airs (which's usually the case). >source rarely, yet my source backlog's still fuckhueg.
Recently, with so little free time I have, I became more into watching anime because it feels lighter to chew through 24 min episodes compared to 1 hour episode shows or 2 hour+ movies, if that makes sense. What I like about anime is that it feels like the only TV format left that is still so full of unlimited creativity, like I don't feel like anime went to shit like American films and recently TV shows did, I made a bet with friends where they insisted anime also used to be better back in the day, but when we went through seasonal anime lineup, counting how many worth-a-watch anime each season had, we found that from since the last 10 years, anime barely "got worse" and is in fact is still doing pretty damn good, all things considered. I guess they were just too much of shounen fans. Also, no, I can't watch seasonal anime, like I said, I barely have enough time to play games. This is why even my selection of anime to watch has to be like something that's unique or something I haven't seen before, thankfully there are so many creative anime I have my hands full.

Who is that beautiful girl wearing a brooch and a big hat that signals her status as a cute witch, whose ashen hair flutters in the wind, shining so much with the beauty and talent that even the sun's eyes squint involuntarily? Who's that beauty blooming as beautifully as the most colorful flowers? Who's that witch flying through the sky, so beautiful that if someone were there, they would definitely look back and sigh? That's right. It's her.

>>73784 TLDR: Quite literally just "it comfy". Also narou hasn't been a good measuring stick for otaku culture since MT started to bring in the normalniggers, especially when basically any story can get decently high in the rankings if they go at least a year straight with a daily chapter.

What is wrong with westoids and why do they keep pushing anti-intellectualism and their refusal to read? Have any of you ever noticed how westoids tend to write off Japanese lit as nothing but trashy fan fiction? It's almost like they think just reading a summary or watching a YouTube video is good enough to understand the whole story, without even bothering to crack open an actual book. I mean, can you imagine someone doing the same thing with Western classics? Yeah, they do that too. It's getting worse over time too. Around the early 2000s people were desperate to scramble to learn japanese because the fan translations for stuff like shana or DaL were too slow. Around the 2010s while the normalfag flood had begun, you still got people willing to learn japanese to read the raws. Now after covid you're hard pressed anyone that reads the source material, hell you are hard pressed to find people that actually watch anime at x1 playback speed and not through tiktok videos and manga leak threads. What the fuck went so wrong with the anime community normalfags?

Why do people refuse to read the source material of a series? Anonymous 10/01/2025 (Wed) 10:58:00 Id: c92a78 No. 73472 [Reply] >>73785
This insistence seems eternal (has been a problem since at least the early 00s) and only keeps getting worse as time passes. It doesn't matter if someone loved a specific series to death and literally cannot wait for a season 2 (that may never come), they will not read the source material. If the source is a LN, at most they will read the manga adaptation, catch up to the TLd manga chapters and completely forget the series ever existed afterwards. Somehow shit like MT are extremely rare exceptions that confirm the rule and even then the amount of people that actually read the novels are a drop in the bucket in the fandom of said series. >But anon, you are forgetting shounenfags! And that's where you're fucking wrong, shounenfags don't read manga, they follow twitter leaks and then get a summary of the chapter from their eceleb of choice.

>>73759 I kind of agree. What I usually end up doing is deliberately start skimming the latter halves so I don't get into that state. I guess it's kind of related to investing my time and energy into something that's completely intangible in nature. I feel the same bout MMOs and online games too.
>>73472 (OP) but if i spend time reading the source, then i won't have time to watch the next kuso!
>>73766 there is a feeling of annoyance that comes with a conflicted state of wanting to see the rest of the plot, and being tired of the worst, disagreeable elements of a show taking up your precious time.

Seasonal Anime General Anonymous 09/30/2025 (Tue) 21:09:02 Id: f52dab No. 73417 [Reply]
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.

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.

>>73303 Quite evil, if normalfags weren't such sheep the question why that old credit card method isn't sufficient would have come up immediatelly. At this point it won't be stopped, the only good news is that a massive global crash is also likely incoming, since the global elite doesn't really understand how anything works besides enriching themselves and feeling/acting superior to us. So likely they'll also lose everything. Doesn't really help us, though, but when everything's on fire and civilization collapses the rich and useless are usually not amongst the survivors. This is unrelated to censorship, of course, but we can see it already happening, and if anything the elite accelerates the downfall (in some retarded cases, like Thiel and his Dark Enlightenment, on purpose, not that it will help useless wastes of flesh like him).

Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle Tops Superman as #1 Comic Book Film of the Year https://archive.ph/axbsp >Deadline and The Numbers services reported on Sunday that Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle - Akaza Sairai, the first film in the Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba Infinity Castle trilogy, has earned an estimated total of US$633 million worldwide as of Sunday, October 5. That makes the film the highest grossing comic book film of the year, after surpassing Superman's US$615,784,465. (Infinity Castle had already overtaken Captain America: Brave New World and Thunderbolts*.) That would also make the anime film the #6 highest-grossing film of 2025 so far after topping F1: The Movie. >(The Hollywood Reporter and Box Office Mojo list the film's worldwide box office total at "US$757.6 million" as of Sunday. However, the discrepancy between their total and Deadline and The Numbers' total is US$124.6 million, which is exactly the U.S. box office total that all four services list.) >Deadline added that the first Infinity Castle film earned US$324.6 million in Crunchyroll/Sony markets (which are outside Japan and some other Asia markets) by adding US$10.2 million this weekend (US$3.5 million in the U.S. and US$6.7 million outside the U.S.) To date, the film has earned a total of US$17.4 million in Mexico, US$14.4 million in Germany, US$14.2 million in France, US$9.3 million in India, and US$8.9 million in the United Kingdom.

What is the most anti-Pokemon Digimon season/anime of all? I want to watch a Digimon anime, but I want something that doesn't feel at all like Pokemon. I want something that, when I watch it, feels like anything other than Pokemon.
It was a strong first episode. I feel like the cliffhanger at the end was only there to show people this isn't going to be an episodic series like Ghost Game. They could have finished the battle with knock-off Garurumon this episode.
