Japanese cartoons

,

Japan seems to simultaneously be going “the olympics are coming over, quick, clean the place up” and “oh, a shit ton of people are coming to Tokyo, maybe we should like, legalize gambling or something, idk”

IIRC, agreeing to some UN stuff is actually pushing the :yikesghost: out but, uh, there’s also some weirdly vocal pushback from certain artists and academics(???)

absolutely. i wish there’d been more inconsequential “filler” episodes because watching their creativity flourish unrestrained felt magnitudes fresher than what the main plotline was doing

Did you check out the new KlK game that came out recently? Apparently it’s a What If story that makes Satsuki the protagonist or something.

I enjoy that Demon Slayer show pretty well. Its gorgeously animated. It manages to pull off the intensity of its emotions pretty damn impressively. But there are things that I just can’t quite get behind. The comedy almost always falls flat (though there is a more subtle humorous streak that runs through a lot of it that adds a lot of charm). A lot of it is comedy revolves around Zenitsu whose entire personality is funny anime horny and it’s miserable when he gets to chew up scenes. Except for when he’s dark and mysterious split personality badass. Then he’s just boring. It’s not not problematic that Nezuko doesn’t speak.

My biggest problem though is that it’s apparently going to go on forever and I think this show would benefit from a looming ending. The end of this season basically seemed to promise infinite deferral. This could drag on for years. The like fourth to last episode was a big emotional/plot crescendo. The rest felt like it was just checking manga plot boxes.

When it’s good though it’s top tier shonen bullshit. And sometimes I do really want that.

Just watched the first episode earlier. Definitely a series I can stick with for standout production energy and aesthetics, and put whatever level of storytelling, characterization that comes along, just behind it. Long as it doesn’t rot via trope infection.

Fire Force has cool fights and good shonen fun, but the fanservice is so dire they’re literally just cutting to a bra wackily falling off out of context as a standalone scene. Dunno if this is just how the manga was but it’s definitely one of those animes where it feels like an executive is mandating a minimum horniness quotient

I guess this is the official Anime Thread Post About Anime Here thread now

you guys fucked up

ALLOW ME TO DEMONSTRATE

recently, I finally went through with a threat I’ve been hanging over my head for a while and watched/suffered/experienced My Sister, My Writer, a show implicitly about sister fucking and very transparently a quick and dirty Kadokawa light novel adaptation cash-in (see fantastic shows like Noucome (jesus please don’t watch Noucome)) but is more infamous for being a show whose production completely fucking melted down and home of an animator listing their name as, translated, “Honestly I’m Screwed”

of course I had to watch it

the first episode looked fine! was I lied t- no, wait, there’s no ending sequence, instead have a credit scroll over a black screen while footage from the episode plays in a window on the left. but bigger shows have goofed harder, so this is no big deal

episode 2 has the opening and I’m looking at it and it’s a bunch of keyart and footage from the first episode thrown together in Premiere like it was an opening from an eroge and the little man in my head has pulled up the glass lid an is steeling himself to smash the ALARM button, but you know, it’s no so ba-

okay, I mean, that looks bad but it’s relatively on model, nothing’s melting quite ye-

hm.

it’s not a total disaster and the rest of the show keeps on going on a “well, we’re hanging in there” level of production and then motherfucking episode 7 and I

but

and

what you’re not seeing is that laptop having 4 different looks in as many shots but that’s fine, because I got to episode 9 and, uh

4 SHOTS

OF THE SAME CHARACTERS

ALL WITHIN A MAYBE A 90-120 SECOND WINDOW, IF THAT

THE ANIMATION DIRECTOR IS DEAD

ALL THE PREVIOUS BULLSHIT KILLED THEM AND THEY JUST COULDN’T ANYMORE

AND IT BROKE ME

I FEEL BAD FOR KICKING THIS SHOW WHEN IT’S DOWN AND THE PEOPLE WHO HAD TO HAVE THEIR NAMES ON IT

BUT MY GOD

this was far beyond my expectations for even a show that’s so open about it speeding through a bunch of material (also it’s poorly paced, as if I were so hung up on a story about a younger sister trying to make her brother see that she loves him) (also also it’s poorly concieved and written to begin with)

the level of production this show is skating on even seems to have infected the poor soul who had to do the Crunchyroll subs

(the show keeps doing portrait-style pans like this and I hate it)

I am a better person for having seen it and I hate myself for going through with it and also I hate everything, apparently including life itself

I used to be an innocent cartoon watching person

then my curiosity took me too far

Miru Tights is a cartoon made by and for really horny people who really, really, really, really, REALLY like women dressed in various thickness of tights. I know this because I read news items that identified the main characters by their names and the denier of their tights, things that taught me more than I ever knew about tights in 30 seconds than I had known in 30 years

I mean, it starts normal. girls go about their lives but also we see their tights and legs and butts and feet 80% of the time and we get to see incredibly, intensely well drawn, realized and animated tights. we see them get wet, we see them get ripped, we see them get put on bare legs (on fucking 1s!!! I will never see bare legs being dressed so smoothly again, not even with my own goddamned eyes in real life, especially not if I keep watching shows like this), all the good stuff

and then

there’s an episode. it’s about the teacher who’s around a few times and you know, she’s wearing tights and also she’s sexy because only sexy women wear tights (nevermind that apparently EVERY FEMALE STUDENT IN THIS SCHOOL is wearing tights) and she does all the sexy things and her class is taking a quiz and a boy gets distracted, I mean, get a 0 on the quiz because he didn’t write anything because he he was too busy looking at ass and tights and she tells him to stay after class

and

she says some stuff

and she (rightly) points out he is MAXIMUM horny

and she reaches her (tights-clad) foot out to his crotch

AND THEN IT FADES TO BLACK

AND SHE’S THERE, IN THE NEXT SCENE, PUTTING ON A NEW PAIR OF TIGHTS (BECAUSE OF COURSE SHE KEEPS EXTRAS JUST IN CASE SHE GIVES A STUDENT A QUICK FOOTIE)

AND I LOST MY GODDAMN MIND HOW COULD A CARTOON IMPLY A LITERAL SEX CRIME I DON’T WANT TO GO TO JAIL

I’M MOSTLY TYPING THIS TO CONFESS TO MY ANIME CRIMES

THIS FUCKING SHOW PREMIERED ON YOUTUBE. THEY UPLOADED A 5 MINUTE CARTOON ONTO YOUTUBE THAT IMPLIED THAT A GROWN-ASS WOMAN WHO TEACHES GAVE HER STUDENT A FOOTJOB AND APPARENTLY IT WAS GOOD CAUSE HOMEBOY PASSED OUT

I’M READY TO GO TO HELL FOR MY SINS

my life is now split into before I saw the episode of Miru Tights where a teacher gives a student a footjob and after I saw the episode of Miru Tights where a teacher gives a student a footjob

don’t cry for me, I’m already dead

I knew this thread could have a purpose being separate from the “Cartoons” thread.

80% is really downplaying it, it’s more like 98%. Someone lovingly animated a high school student’s whole ass pussy area for this fucking thing

the purpose of this thread is now for me to do longform shitposts about shows only I care about

and I already got another one thought up

I saw this and I didn’t see anything but I didn’t look too closely and you’re not going to get me to load the file back up and check Satan, I’m too strong for your demonic influence now

yeah theres definitely some wholeass lovingly drawn labia

after your post notbov i watched the whole thing (helps that the episodes are like 4:30 each, two minutes after credits) AND YOU WEREN’T KIDDING ABOUT THE ANIMATION

i didn’t know what ‘on the 1s’ meant, i had guessed it meant every frame was animated? I THINK THATS WHAT IT WAS BECAUSE HOLY SHIT THERE WAS SOME FLOWY TIGHT REMOVAL

i actually laughed at the runs episode and the girl who kept trying to remove her tights in class but the footjob episode and horny blue hair girl were a little too much

i say, having watched the whole thing

also i had to wade through ten WORST ANIME OF 2019 videos to find it and its not the WORST that seems harsh

its impressive how transparently the show can love tights and knees and toes and thighs
