I very much enjoyed this show. Everything was very cute and comfy. Second season when?

>>257 It was actually so good! I though tit was pretty poopy and generic at first but then by episode 3 I knew what it was up to and everything got ultra super mega final turbo galactic comfy. Season 2 confirmed so it's just a matter of time now but already I can't WAIT for more character songs by Kyaru
>>257 this frame looks like fucking shit it isn't an actual screenshot?
my JS mommy-daughter-wife, the show has left her with criminally low amount of screentime, had to install that fucking gacha and now im grinding the shit out of it upping her bond level to unlock special vn scenes with her, there's though another option to up it, that is by giving her candy in the guild house but where the fuck do i get candy, im still too shit in japanese to understand a big portion of interface and tutorial

Now that the dust has settled, can we all agree that this was the greatest ecchi manga ever written?

>>995 >does she have a boyfriend? Megumin? Yeah she won the kazuma bowl.
>>994 Yeah the manga is honestly not bad if you enjoy Shounen. Good art and the story progression is decent. Doesn't go in meandering arcs like most stuff, ends cleanly in Egypt bringing everything full circle nicely. Not my favorite but it's definitely good.
>>999 Thanks I'll have to give it a shot then.

Legend of Galactic Heroes: My conquest is the sea of stars Anonymous 11/21/2021 (Sun) 06:49:28 No. 653 [Reply]
First off God damn that's a long subtitle, as ridiculously long a title to have to begin with they managed to top even that. Seriously what a fucking mouthful. So this anime is shilled a lot, and yesterday I finally was convinced to try it out. I began with the prequel movie "My conquest is the sea of stars", and I have serious issues with the last ten minutes, and nowhere else more appropriate to air them. There's a giant fleet engagement with about a million vessels taking part, as the democratic "good guys" are getting creamed they come up with a move to win. Three guys take a ship and kick everyone else off (if these ships don't need gunners to fire the guns, engineers to oversee the powerplant, marines for boarding actions, or even crewman to man radar. Then why the hell are these ships manned at all?) Then fly up to the enemy commander, come along side and sit there. The entire warzone goes quiet. Everyone to afraid to fire a single shot, EVEN MILLIONS OF KILOMETRES AWAY, for fear the commanders vessel might be struck. The "good guys" (who were getting crushed) use this confusion to sail away in peace, leaving this single vessel with three crewman alone behind enemy lines. Then that ship leaves too. That was the summary and already I bet many can see the obvious issues with this plot. 1. Coming alongside another vessel does indeed mean you probably won't be targeted by canon fire, sure, BUT that simply means you are commiting a boarding action. Pistols and sabers time. So why doesnt the "imperialistic" "badguy" commander sound repel boarders and? Or when it's clear he isn't being boarded, BOARD THE OTHER SHIP. 2. why the fuck would you let the enemy go? 3. Why would a ship fighting off boarders (which has been a common occurence for so long as naval vessels have existed I.E. all of western history) silence not just his own side, but the other side as well? 4. In a battlespace billions of kilometres wide why would anyone else give a shit? 5. Why let the enemy suicide vessel go? Why would noone take a potshot after it left the side of the commanders ship? 6. Is the entire series this monumentally retarded? Did the author even look into naval tactics from any century? 7. Will it get better? I mean what kinda ship doesn't have marines on board? How is there no procedure for dealing with a close in enemy? Traditionally you board it, kill the crew, and then cut away boarding ropes, wait til you are out of range of it exploding, and then sink the bastard. Or you take control of the enemy vessel, crew it, and keep fighting now with another ship in your flotilla.

Straight in there with the overt anti-white shit, this one. Second time around my nose got too sensitive for the stench & I dropped it.
>>893 Only retards like fiction more than reality.
>>898 >overt anti-white shit Where? At any rate, I personally rooted for the Goldenbaum dynasty. Doesn't matter anyway; it's not like there are any nignogs in the empire for Reinhard (or his heirs) to push for diversity, and Reinhard has never interacted significantly with any non-white to care.

Speculation: Naruto killed After-Image Techniques Anonymous 06/05/2022 (Sun) 10:50:51 No. 853 [Reply]
In the classic '90s beat 'em up videogame series "Streets of Rage," the second and third entries into the series, Streets of Rage 2 and Streets of Rage 3, feature a ninja-type enemy. Whilst executing one of its frustratingly effective evasive manoeuvres, the ninja, whilst moving away and leaving behind a trail of after-images whilst doing so, can be audibly heard saying "Ninpo: Kage-bunshin no Jutsu" i.e. Ninja Art: Shadow Clone Technique. While this videogame is indeed a Japanese videogame, and it was indeed targeted at the presumably youthful male Japanese demographic, a demographic that may have also consumed manga and anime, and may have indeed been influenced by the manga and anime available at the time, it is nonetheless, a mere videogame and not a Japanese anime or manga. The illusory/genjutsu form of the shadow clone technique in Naruto, as demonstrated by Sakura, generates after-images but that disappears later on in the show as nobody uses the technique. In One Piece, the Soru technique originally generated after-images, but I believe that was only used on occasion, and even then, only at the time of its introduction. I think after-images are still seen in DBZ even as late as the Cell-Saga. IIRC, they appear in Goku's fight with Cell however, that part of DBZ was done entirely in the '90s. I cannot remember what it was but I recall seeing a different anime where a character used shadow clones and they were indeed of the Naruto-variant and not of the after-image variant but I do not recall what it was. I do recall my reaction though: "Naruto changed the Shadow-Clone technique." It may be unfounded but this is my suspicion: that after Naruto, not only did the traditional shadow-clone technique get abandoned in favour of Naruto's version, but after-images were abandoned entirely and that Naruto is responsible for this shift. I know you guys have consumed more anime than me, both 90s and 00s, so tell me, what are your thoughts on this speculation of mine?
Thinking about it, answering this speculation requires not only being an Anime Historian of sorts, but also someone who pays attention to the presence of the Ninja in Japanese culture, particularly in Otaku Media. This is perhaps too niche to be answerable and would require independent research on my own part.
>>854 I think another place to look at would be the Pokemon anime. I have very, very vague memories, but I think they kept using after-image illusions well until the season that had Treeko in it. Then again I only watched until then.

I'm watching Dragon Ball and realized how many ideas and themes toriyama stuffed there, most problems with modern shonen are very understandable and tolerable in the context of Dragon Ball (training, excessive eating, people going back to life, asspulls.. etc), why did the faggots steal his ideas and incorporated them in theirs out of context like this? it was lazy and unrealistic in their respective stories. I think many mangakas actually just wanted to capitalize on DB's success than anything else, so much for the japanese originality huh
>>730 Japanese are creative and original in changing concepts and giving new viewpoints to established concepts. 100% better than western jewish garbage.
>>730 >training Was already a big trope of shounen manga. Look back at Ashita no Joe, which had multiple training arcs and the protagonist didn't even become a boxer until a sixth of the way through the series. >excessive eating This is just Japanese humour. Dragon Ball is just the one series that bothered giving the joke a form on internal context, that being Saiyajins just eat a lot. It extends from the hyper active kid idea of shounen protagonist. >people going back to life This also isn't anything Dragon Ball started. It's a common trope to have a character die and come back, though Dragon Ball had the balls to straight up have them be wished back. >asspulls Asspulls have existed in stories since the dawn of time (i.e., "And then, pirates appeared").

I honestly didn't see this coming. I thought they were the more resilient file hosting sites. What did they do other than just illegal file hosting that got them to shutdown?

Intro 40 seconds. The first 17 sec explain what Ichigo is 2:21-4:46 the “reminder what happened last episode ” almost 2 and half minutes, so from 4:46-21:55 we have 17m9sec of actual episode, minus 1 minute to summon Ayon, Now about the episode itself. Stark and Kyoraku being lazy are the only one with justification of not take the fight seriously. But what is Stark rebutting Kyoraku style for? Just so kubo can wrote Kyoraku analysis about his pistol later? In retrospective we know how their actual power are. Hitsugaya get outmatched the whole time (even with Bankai) and Harribel won’t take it seriously 18:50 after the blast the amazon trio enter resurrection. Apache cero once and that’s it. They then summon Ayon. the other 2 never attack while in resurrection form
>>756 I watched the very first episode when it aired, and decided to never watch any of it. A bunch of edgy freaks paraded for a female audience.
>>779 >edgy freaks AKIRA is literal edgy freak so is that gunmen anime or cringy redline
