Anime/Manga - Discuss Japanese cartoons and comics here; NO CULTURE WAR DOOMPOSTING!

"A special program featuring Tanya #Yuki Aoi and Visha #Saori Hayami will be streamed live on #ABEMA!
Before and after the special program distribution, all episodes of TV animation and the movie version will be distributed!
And ... In the special program, a new video will be released for the first time in the world"

I am going to be optimistic and hope for the 2 season announcement.

The new episode of Vivy is disappointing.

Spoiler

So apperantly humanity managed to create an AI that can read the next 100 years, but it couldn't make androids that can multitask? And that AI apperantly decided that humanity should go extinct for being weak/need to go through extinction event to get stronger.

It's not that clear which and both have their own plotholes, especially as Androids are very much a deadend for their lack of innovation, while humans existed fine before them. Wouldn't a more fitting reason being Vivy writing a song, which causes Archive to decide Androids are superior since they can innovate (which would be a neat subversion)?

Anyways, Archive decided, at least 40 years into the show, to work against the heroine to change history, despite nothing she did actually affecting it since it already came to the conclusion to kill humanity and for some bizarre reason nobody seen the danger in letting a single AI to control all the Androids world wide.

Dynazenon is still shit. Latest episode have the discovery that one guy can use the robot by himself without the team, invalidating the whole point of having a cast of mecha pilots.

Also I can't find who recommended it, but thanks for the recommendation of Princess Tutu. The first season is solid enough, but the second really expands on it and makes me want to rewatch it with some of the revelations. Ahiru is an adorable protagonist, but all the cast is good.

It needs everyone to use the full power of Dynazenon.

Princess Tutu is awesome.

The author of Kakerugi came out with a revenge story about a npc character getting revenge on obvious stand ins of popular isekai protagonists for being cheaters.

While it could be fun, it comes off as a little petty. People keep comparing it to The Boys, but the issue is that these characters were either morally grey enough in their original works or not particularly powerful in the first place.

That being said, I want to see how exactly they turn Katarina evil.

In one hand, revenge manga/LNs are somehow more generic than isekai, and once you read one you pretty much read them all.

In the other, blatantly making your designated villainous characters reference popular isekai protagonists is based, and not only could make for a funny story but also lead to even funnier drama. Guess I'll give it a read.

Jujutsu Kaisen 0 movie poster got released, its an adaption of the canon prequel and original oneshot. I was a little surprised to see that it would be adapted into a movie. I thought they'd just skip it.

Human obsolescence would have been a better direction to go. The anime felt as though it was building up to it considering how robotic Diva is in the beginning compared to the end. It also would have been another fantastic opportunity for Diva to face despair knowing her music led to humanity's extermination only to have that final epiphany as to what "singing from the heart" means before that data is sent back in time for one last attempt.

Fucking FINALLY. Yamato 2205 has been confirmed for an October Release date, and is going to be a two-parter with the second entry coming out sometime next year. Both parts should cover all of the plot from New Voyage.

That just leaves them to adapt Final Yamato, and then they would have finished remaking the entire saga for newfags like me.

They should do Galaxy Express 999 next.

After the insane success of Demon Slayer, I’m not too surprised that more studios are willing to bet on movies that are more directly tied to the main plot.

I hope this isn't a culture war or whatever, but am I the only one who sometimes dislikes more mainstream newer anime because of the often toxic and often single digit aged fanbase, that is especially found in VRchat? The Jojo reference memes get really old really quickly. Naruto also sometimes makes me cringe, though it could be just the anime. Even Hokuto no Ken memes are not uncommon, but at least they aren't encountered every 69 seconds. And Dragonball Super is one other anime that is kinda stained by the same VRchat children. I really like anime from the 80s to the 2000s that also happened to air on Italian channels, local and nationwide ones alike; Italia 7 Gold, Junior TV, MTV, TMC, Italia 1 (OK, maybe the 2000s ones not as much), you name it. I especially like new anime that is part of some older anime series, 'cept maybe Dragonball. I am rather fond of Yugioh series, old and new, and I'd also really like to watch Yashahime, the Inuyasha sequel. Excel Saga is another anime I enjoyed of which I would really like some newer episodes based on the later parts of the manga.

It's not culture war, it's just newfags ruining everything. JoJo and HnK are perfectly fine but no one can stand a bunch of faggots going "HAHA NANI GET IT HAHA some guy I watched on Yutub takled bout it haha" every other second.

The composer, actor, and activist—known for composing themes for titles ranging from Sally the Witch and Gatchaman to Turn A Gundam and many more—passed due to heart failure on May 30.

I’ll never forget watching this version of Gundam at the nearest gas station when I was waiting for my father’s car to get fixed. Truthfully, I might not remember much of what I watched from this version, but the soundtrack seemed sublime to me.

So Fruits Basket: The Final is almost over and it doesn’t look like they’re going to show how Kyoko and Katsuya met for whatever reason. They could try to squeeze it in, in theory, but it wouldn’t really make sense at this point. What a waste.

It looks to me like it could be treated as a bonus story final episode, seeing as there are two episodes left and the curse has been completely broken..

I guess they could, but it would still feel disjointed.

That new NHK sequel surprisingly got an official translation.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0977H8M98/ref=sr_1_8?dchild=1&keywords=welcome+to+the+nhk&qid=1623704240&sr=8-8

While 7 bucks for a 30 page pdf sounds like a rip off, Apparently the translator is some anon who worked with Takimoto on translating some stuff in the past and also all the money made is going directly too Takimoto (he also dumped all of the story on /a/ if you want to read it)

Finished up the Yamato remake stuff that was out already a few months ago and had a blast since it's just cheesy fun since it's basically anime Star Trek. I didn't like the ending of the second season (it was fun until the last few episodes which were just dumb). I'm still going to watch this one and see if it's any good.

It's a sad coincidence since I just started rewatching that one. It does indeed have a divine soundtrack and really divine everything since it's both not Gundam and Gundam as hell at the same time with a fantastic cast and a really cool aesthetic thanks to how Syd Mead (another one who died recently, he worked on Blade Runner and Tron) did a bunch of mecha designs for the show. TAAN A TAAN is a fantastic OP.

That’s a shame. I remember really liking that part in the manga.

Tohru’s dad: *lists off the questionable things he’s done as a teacher*

Tohru’s mom: Wow. You are probably the worst person I’ve ever met.

Tohru’s dad: Thank you!

Tohru’s mom: That’s NOT a compliment.

Senpai has gone from the most weak of men to a moderately capable one, and I really want to see where this is going. At this rate, the chadpai meme is going to be an actual thing eventually.

Also, the President continues to be the most indecent woman of all time. Jesus Christ, some of 774's previous work seems to be leaking in.
