Hi, I asked Codexx to apply this CSS that you can see in effort to bring our /a/ back to life.
However, this board also needs banners of which we don't have none yet, so if you got any post 'em here so the BO can see them (or I can inform him about them) and add them.

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.

This is mostly just for my own archival purposes but if anyone else has found mistakes in manga volumes they've bought, in english, then feel free to drop them. What I got range from typos to missing letters to printing errors. First two are from Demon Slayer. The third is from The Promised Neverland. The fourth is Levius/est & the fifth one is from Sekiro Side Story: Hanbei the Undying.
Speaking of that last one, the error is that the woman they refer to is the boy's mother. Not his sister.

Wholesome Incest Anime
I want anime focused on siblings being in love and entering a happy romantic relationship. I don't want a lust filled relationship; if there is any lust between the siblings I want the lust involved to be very small. I don't care about blood relation but I want the couple to have lived as siblings before they entered a relationship.
I saw Oreimo, Candy Boy, Eromanga Sensei (though it had much fanservice, the siblings had little to no sexual activity or thoughts; though I'd prefer anime without much fanservice) and Boku wa Imouto ni Koi o Suru (though there was some lust, it was a small part of the O.V.A.). Is there anything more?

Post about a series that you just finished
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.

Hisoutensoku is an expansion to Touhou 10.5 SWR and is a multiplayer fighting game made by Tasofro with ZUN's approval. It's easy to learn, hard to master battle system makes for fun and fast paced matches with counterhits often launching girls across the screen. Very fast when played right. As a P2P game, game hosts must forward ports in order to play it or use specific workarounds.

Get soku, then extract contents of swrs toys (modpack archive) directly into the same folder.
To host, a hosting player forwards a port (detailed instructions are available on the internet) and provides IP with a port in an IP:Port format, launches the game and uses the Vs Network menu to start the server. Client connects to provided IP and port and plays game. For hosts, please be sure to check the options menu to set a port and disable the "post to bot" checkmark if you don't want random people from the lobby to join instead of people in the thread. If no one's joining in the thread, playing people from the lobby can be a good idea to practice!
Should a port be unable to be forwarded, workarounds exist - Autopunch is installed in a modpack and is used automatically in case of un-forwarded ports. Keep in mind that it can fail on some routers and workplace connections and that ping will likely be less desirable, so please forward your ports.

I'm a bit of a newfag to DBZ, I watched some of the Cell saga on Toonami, then watched (((TeamFourStar's))) abridged series.
In between that long-ass hiatus, I watched the Kai version of DBZ on Nicktoons, up to about Frieza saga I think. Then I started to watch less TFS and watch the actual series with two DVDs. Funnily enough, both were about the Cell Games; the first being Orange Brick, and the other being part of the Dragon Box.
I want to get more DVDs of them, but I don't want to give Funi any shekels; I've managed to avoid that so far by buying my current DVDs from a pawn shop on whims. Anyone know of any online stores that aren't ran by fags that sell DVDs of Dragon Ball?

Gundam General
How does the Turn A Gundam Correct Century work? Spoilers for the show but it's plot centers around the mystery of the Dark History. An era before the current time which in the show's setting is a Victorian era level of tech society with planes & blimps. This Dark History is hinted at & outright said to be essentially the history of at least 4 previous Gundam timelines. From my understanding, each timeline is supposed to be a different universe.
So how does this work? Because I can't find a straight answer no matter where I look. Is it:
>A: Each Gundam timeline referenced here were actually part of the same universe all along.
>B: Each timeline was separate but something converged them into one.

Dreams
You ever dream about anime? Ever dream in the style of anime? See yourself as a flat character from the third person view, yet have control of your body and can still feel everything and somehow also see things, that the third person flat screen view can't? Talk about it.
Last night I had a dream that I was in a middle school, standing beside Alice Cartelet. We were facing her female teacher, having a discussion about her studies, while my hand was under her skirt and panties tightly gripping her small ass. The perspective was behind us so I could see this happening, along with some x-ray view through her clothes. The teacher was clearly aware of what I was doing, but for some reason could only act irritated with my behavior without directly calling it out, as if something like my position was forcing her to play dumb. Alice was receptive, and we went into the classroom where I stripped her nude and did her missionary style. I then jizzed myself awake. I have never actually watched Kirino Mosaic and I only even have four files on my computer featuring Alice, none of them lewd. Though I imagine all that will change in the near future now. Is Kirino Mosaic actually good?

The Golden Age of Anime
What do (You) think was the golden age of anime?
Personally, I think between 2000-2016 was the golden age
Not that there wasn't great anime before and after those times, but I personally feel in terms of the greatest and most amount of the amazing anime came out in that period of time, and my most favorites.
Comparatively, I can count the number of great anime (to me that i've seen at least) in the 90s on maybe 2 hands, and the 80s and earlier on 1. or so
There are great anime coming after 2016 too, but a lot of them are still ongoing or something or are just really good, but not as good as my absolute favorites.
But those are just my opinions, what about yours?
I posed this question on /animu/ several months ago; my opinion has not changed since then so far at least, though there have been some good anime as of late that I'm enjoying, they haven't reached the peaks of that golden age so far. A lot of ongoing stories still probably need a decade or so to develop since many only just have their starts right now

Why this series is deemed ecchi?
I wondered about that but still have no answer,several people claims are about sexy character design,or mature content but to date after reading all the manga and watching the anime which felt like a chore still nothing.
The manga designs are rather basic and unapealing in most cases which had chizuru in a bikini she looked like a transgender man similar to the designs of gokudolls,the manga barelly had something similar to ecchi content the closest is the allusion of kazuya masturbating and that would be it,the anime design is different but goes for moe factor so less reasons there.
I want to discuss why is deemed an ecchi anime/manga if it doesn't have anything to make it ecchi
>no pantyshots
>no chizuru dating other guys besides being rental kanojo
>no shimonetas
>no panty problems that force chizuru to go around nopan for a whole day suffering some accident but kazuya never realize that.
>no nude scenes
>no sexualized content (like wearing a miniyukata or go around in underwear or eating certain stuff in a obscene way)
>No shower scenes
>No competition of chizuru with an homosexual that feel atracted to kazuya (just for laughs and worked on other seinen ecchi anime) which would make her being more honest about her feelings.
how is this even ecchi if there is none of that,even evangelion which isn't ecchi showed more,even doraemon a kids anime showed more.
PS : before someone says "BUT THERE IS LOT OF CONTENT THAT SHOWS CHIZURU AND SHE LOOKS SEXY THERE" remember that is fan content so doesn't count and before you mention "THERE IS AN EPISODE OF CHIZURU ON SWIMSUIT" that is normal content even shoujo anime showed more.

Known Anime Girls Porn Actress
Well i was watching some stuff after learning that race queens in japan are porn actress so as i watched girls bravo i saw Kirie being a race queen and she saying
>You won't lose nothing for showing cleavage or panties
So you realize she was slut.
I think was obvious she was a slut specially when you take into account she took economic (or home stuff) and yukinari took another course by kirie request,her reason well she can only cook while naked and after getting good grades she ended up sticky,sucked lot of stuff (isn't specified) and was sucked a lot but felt good.
Do you know of some other anime girls that are "race" queens,the only one that came to mind was naoto from persona 4 (well she was a queen but the spades ace queen) and Rise Kujikawa but she was obvious she was introduced as the "completely pervert idol"

Ciao, /a/nons, I was in the process of updating my collection of manga since I don't read much but have always wanted to at least own as many scanlated books as possible. I'm currently sitting at 700ish downloaded titles, most of them are incomplete due to the usual drop of interest by the scanlators but a sizable chunk should be all the classics and the niche hits.
I was wondering if you guys would be so nice as to suggest to me a bunch more. Not just "what you're reading right now", it's more about getting a comprehensive list of the most important, fun, interesting or historically significant manga you know of. If they have an anime adaptation that surpasses the simple "the manga but they speak" a la Ping Pong or the Jojos, then I'll be more than happy to also add that to my list. I've got about 4 TBs more of space, so help me fill 'em up.

Young Love/Romance/Romcom Anime
I need some recommendations for Young Love/Romance/Romcom anime, it has to be something similar to how it was handled in Hime Chan no Ribbon or Cardcaptor Sakura (those are the only examples I have, I don't have any others; hence why I am here).
If you haven't seen either of these, I guess the things that make them unique regarding romance is that it's treated seriously so there isn't endless cockteasing like in modern romance works (Uzaki-chan, Nagatoro, Komi-san, et cetera) and while tasteful comedy is present, there is also tasteful drama. Also another key point is that the love needs to be young, either early highschool or pre highschool. Don't ask me why, it's just better that way. More innocent, pure, cute.

But being able to make a puzzle is not the and may not be as difficult as having to solve a puzzle. He's had initiative of setting up the plot and he may be able to catch others in some traps but, after all those advantages are up, he'll be on an even playing field. Ranpo has always went into every puzzle blind and can still hold out and win in the end. Ranpo has also been playing by his own restrictions but if he set those aside. Ranpo might not seem flashy and the best right now but they have very different ways of operating. Ranpo might seem at a disadvantage now but it's not at the time in the game when he scales yet. He will definitely wreck Fyodor and carry later. Believe in the best boy!

Sisters in anime
I was recently watching a shitty jewtube video about this (it was filled with shit opinions), and it made me think about how it feels pretty uncommon to have actually good sister characters in anime.
Or at least, its not the first thing that comes to mind for a lot of people.
I can think of good bro and brother characters easily, but good sister characters is a bit more uncommon and unusual.
I'm not talking about sisters who are merely just attractive, as any red-blooded man in Japan is capable of creating a great waifu regardless if they're a sister or not (though being attractive definitely doesn't hurt).
Usually the relationships are a bit harder to do well I feel like, and they're a bit odd.
One example of a good sister I thought of was Sanji's sister Reiju from One Piece. I liked her a lot and I felt the way Oda portrayed her was excellent and fitting. She wasn't just
>good brother but genderbent
It was more like she was genuinely kind and had a feminine perspective, and did her best for him despite the tough situation she was in, and all the pressure she was under to be someone horrible, and instead she ended up being great for what she did. **Yes I know that the image doesn't really spotlight her as much as it does Sanji's mom, sue me; Nobody does good fanart).
Kill la Kill didn't have a mind-blowingly amazing one with Satsuki and Ryuko, but it was good enough. I liked the ending since it felt impactful and proper, though I felt like Mako was more of a sister to Ryuko throughout the series than Satsuki was if I'm being honest so I'd rather give more credit to her personally.
I think Shiro from No Game No Life is excellent, personally. She and Sora work so well together, it just fits, plus they love each other and its cute, funny and sweet how they handle such things. Great dynamic portrayed well imo, they have their own talents and abilities and kinda fight each other playfully for dominance. Plus she's adorable.
What do you think of sisters in anime?
What are your favorites? Could be blood-related or friendships and relationships that feel close to them being sisters to someone. One can fairly argue someone like Winry from FMA as akin to a sister to the protagonists for example (or at least Hughes' daughter), but I feel that it might get complicated.
Can be for any reason, not just the ones I stated. Like simpler, shallow and perverted reasons work too for personal preference of course.
I was just trying to think of ones I consider actually good sisters I suppose.
I have no idea about Karen Araragi but she has a good design so I'm curious about her personally when I get around to finally watching her series, kek.

Kodomo no Jikan
I just finished reading Kodomo no Jikan and all I gotta say is: God that was such a shit ending.
So naturally, it ended the only way you'd expect it to end, with sensei fucking the shit out of Rin (or at least trying, since his dick didn't fit inside and it hurt her)
Furthermore, Reiji was an absolute scumbag. why did he got any sort of peace? I wonder if the author was even aware of hos disliked he is, since he is responsible for the mess Rin grew up into by doing what can only be described as grooming. He didn't deserve to end up with Mimi-chan
There's a brief time-skip to first year of highschool on the final chapter so they can attain by age of consent, and most notoriously the Ishihara Act and it jumps straight to the action, Rin's body didn't develop so the lolicon could have what they wanted (I assume) and it just fucking ends there. Unless you count the Houkago additional chapter,
So both girls waited years to fuck these dudes who are now much older for some fucking reason and somehow Rin didn't talk to sensei once for these three or so years? How is that believable?
I have so many nitpicks with this trash, how are people rating it so highly? It's just fucking boring and about 40% of it focuses on the female teachers who are just mind-numbingly inane characters. This is literally just the author's fetish, since she had a crush on her teacher as a child IRL.

Shin Ultraman
Yoyo, saw this movie in theaters about two days ago or so, and I wanted to gather the opinions of anons who also saw this movie. I personally like how professional the characters were even with all the crazy shit happening around them. They didn't get overly dramatic or anything you'd see in an American movie. Basically they would just say "oh that happened, what now?" which is the level of professionalism expected in real life scenarios. Basically I thought the movie was really well done and well written.
That said you have to know what to expect, this isn't a movie about explosions and high octane action. It's a movie very much reliant on its story, characters and general world building, basically this is a movie that was written with a more grounded tone rather than something like Fast and the Furious. Honestly in that regard. I find it to be a breath of fresh air since it's not having the characters be overly dramatic or over the top, and the action is actually not a mess of explosions which is another thing I liked about the movie.
Please give Shin Ultraman a watch when you can. I'm not sure when it'll be released digitally, but it's very much worth watching. At least in my opinion.

The Eminence in Shadow
First of all HOW IN THE FUCK was the protagonist able master 48 style of combat while in fucking high school? I could understand if it was some grizzled assassin or something like that but why on gods earth did the author make him a high school student? I think the idea of someone going insane from media to the point that they try to learn magic just because they want to have equal power to a nuke is kinda cool, but fuck me sideways if they didn't make him too young.
Another thing that bothers me is his fucking harem and how he somehow guessed that there was a cult in society rather than just learning it from a young age. He's the biggest mary sue and it bothers me on spiritual level. I swear if I get reincarnated into an Isakai, I hope it's as the same world as Cid so I can poor water on him. Seriously, I fucking hate this manga but I also kinda like it as well. Like there's some interesting twists and turns, but I fucking hate the protagonist.

Also, Ian Faggoten is proving xirself by not having any clue about the characters and dropping fake-subs that aren't anything they would ever say.
It's no surprise the remake is getting a luke-warm reception, looking like, and being treated as, a anachronistic sexist romcom, which anyone who watched/read the original knows isn't true.

Want a dakimakura while working on a complete overhaul of my bedroom after getting tired of the dating-game for real.
Never bought a Dakimakura, now want to, because I feel so tired of the dating-game already.
Had 2 marriages and I just stopped giving a fuck now.
Want to go full retard and turn my bedroom into a embarrassing sissy-heaven.
Already bought embarrassing bed-linen with funny farm-animals and hearts on it, got some pink waterproof matress-covers and rugs.
Had some plushies, but they all don't have SPHs, now want to get a Dakimakura with SPH, but don't want to spent insane amounts of cash, since I already bought so much stuff for my new bedroom.
Trying to get Dakimakuras or just fuckable pillows is really artificially harder than for women to get a dildo out of the deals and choices they have.

Bleach Thread.
A preview trailer of what's to come for the animated adaptation of the Vandenreich arc of Bleech is soon to come out in 2022.
It looks a hell of a bit better than the original anime at first glance though granted it's been nearly 10 years since the last episode aired back in 2012 during it's original run in Japan.

Legend of Galactic Heroes: My conquest is the sea of stars
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.
I just don't understand how that was a conundrum that has never occured in that animes world. Simple fucking shit guys.
All that being said I liked it. Good music, good art, cool massive fleet battle.
On the negative sides, bad dialogue (or maybe stilted is a better way of phrasing that) stupid understanding of warfare, and silly deus ex machina at the end for all the main characters to live.
I'm thinking of making diagrams of the battle, and ones of Lord Nelson's victory at Trafalgar to further demonstrate how ridiculously naive the writer was in terms of tactics, complete with footnotes to the equipment available in the anime and the tactical considerations such weaponry necessitates. I don't know about tonight though. Oddly not feeling nearly autistic and angry enough to commit to what will be a minimum of three hours of work to create something that honestly only 3 people will ever see.

Speculation: Naruto killed After-Image Techniques
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?

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

Still watching World Masterpiece Theater stuff. Finished Little Women and Little Women II Jo's Boys. The first series, Little Women, was kind of shit because of poor subtitles. Badr93's Arabic subtitles were translated into English and that's the only English subtitles available; they were not good. Little Women II Jo's Boys had a Licca release so it did not suffer from poor subtitles and was admittedly the better series anyway.
While watching Little Women II Jo's Boys I saw an ad for Tico and Friends so I set off to find it, but the torrents are all dead and the only DDL links I could find were the [ATTKC] release of the raws and the only English subtitles were for the nezumi raws. Which meant the only English subtitles I could get were incompatible with the only raws I could get. So what could I do but try to re-time the subtitles to work with those raws?
Tico and Friends (Nanatsu no Umi no Tico) [ATTKC] Raws:
https://mega.nz/folder/4AJXEaiK#Gi79j-chwuwsZAEXJ4f0jg
My mediocre re-timed subtitles for the [ATTKC] Raws:
https://www.sendspace.com/file/wbv9ed
(confirm my re-timed subtitles are usable then feel free to re-upload and share them anywhere)
Hopefully subs are all working. I stopped checking as meticulously after episode 25 when they seemed to all be showing up with not the tightest but plenty usable timing. Only episode 2 had significantly different sub timings in the episode. The intro could be mostly copy-pasted with the same timings. I haven't watched Tico and Friends yet, but I hit a lot of spoilers trying to get the fucking subtitles to work.
Not going to give elaborate thoughts (blogposts) on either Little Women series. Practically no one appreciated my anime blogposting and a few were cunts about pushing me off to nearly-dead boards so I gave up trying to put effort in a thread / board that doesn't want it. Cunts got me banned although I broke no rules. My long effortposts about World Masterpiece Theater were deleted. Mod said it was a mistake, but regardless the absurd levels of faggotry succeeded. However in this case, I think it's important to share these subtitles since it was a pain in the ass to re-time them and it's difficult to get any of this shit now since the torrents are dead. Anyone who's going to complain about me trying to make dead shit available again should probably just be ignored and if you think this belongs on some other board then share it there yourself.

Anyways I finished Pollyanna. Like I said before it was less suffering than Princess Sara. There was still some suffering, mostly the suffering of others. Largest stint of suffering of the main character lasts little more than half a dozen episodes and winds up used as a tool to resolve longstanding grudges.
In Pollyanna there is practically no true malice whatsoever. In Princess Sara there was ample malice toward Sara and Becky to the point where any small happiness they may have had prompted villains to immediately and desperately try to snuff it out with this fucked up attitude of "how dare you not be starving, cold, exhausted, miserable and broken" so Princess Sara was a much rougher experience where I was in amazement at how cartoonishly evil some characters were. Pollyanna was practically a healing experience after the misery of Princess Sara. Pollyanna does get a bit Soap Opera with its dramatic scenes and unrealistic convenient coincidences. They did the "running along the train platform waving goodbye" scene repeatedly. I could predict some happenings just by imagining "what course of events would have the most drama?" because that's how things would go. There were a few red herrings to keep the audience guessing a bit though. Pollyanna's design with the short braids and freckles is adorable and may be up there in like top 10, but there are so many anime with cute girls it's hard to say.
I'm not sure what other World Masterpiece Theater series I should look into, but from what I've seen they're really good. I read that the Tom Sawyer series was censored in the English version, has a different intro, and no one had bothered to provide a version with English subtitles + Japanese Audio. An ad for the Little Women series was at the end of Pollyanna so I guess that's next. I saw an ad for Pollyanna at the end of Princess Sara so that's how I wound up watching it. Guess I'm on a World Masterpiece Theater binge.
If anyone else is interested here's what I found so far:
Princess Sara: magnet:?xt=urn:btih:f52b6231af4004cd39db8913c6cd92498cec8d94

Pic #1 is Princess Sara in a nutshell. Some horrible misery is in store yet the title card has cheerful music playing. Sara suffers, yet doesn't give up. Pic #4 I noticed Pollyanna moves her face toward a screen in a window and they had a screen shadow appear over her face which was pretty cool.

Anzu Masaki
You know sluttier anime girls then her?
I didn't knew much of anzu since i lost contact with the series but after checking the series again well was a surprise how much of her canon was brushed aside for something else when dubbed.
Most of this is after watching the episodes in japanese
>Anzu loves black people
>Anzu loves black music like hip hop and rap
>Anzu loves to dance to black music
>Anzu always mentioned the title of a doujin when refering to going to USA (in which she is gangbanged by BBC)
>She got angry at Step Jhonny after he said to hang out with him at night and that she probably wanted that (some that was watching said "don't be eaten by Jhonny") but was only because Yugi was there,she didn't even listened to yugi when he said "don't pay atention to him let's go" but anzu just went to challenge Jhonny.
>Anzu dream is to become a dancer (doesn't specify the type of "dancer")
>Her body becomes more obscene with time specially by the final chapter DSOD.

What happens to adult magical girls in Madoka Magica after Godoka?
The entire point of the change initiated by Godoka, is that no longer will magical girls get turned into witches via their soul gem getting corrupted into grief seed. Some new farming method is derived. This applies that now, the magical girls will no longer die, inherently for being magical girls. Maybe a few will get killed, but for the most part, magical girls will live natural lifespans. If this is the case.
What happens to magical girls as they become adults? Do they stay magical girls? Do their outfits change as they grow older? Are they allowed to stop at anytime as long as they can morally get over the fact the thing they're hunting kills people? Do they keep turning into magical girls as grannies?

I'm watching Psycho-Pass and I am almost at the end of season 1 and holy shit, am I the only one who thinks that this fucking whore's decision to follow the Sybil system after finding out that it's just a bunch of brains and that it killed Kagari was absolutely retarded on her part? She proved herself to be nothing more than a dumb tool of the system who is too afraid to take any action against it when it's clearly destroying the lives of thousands of people.
>Kou would have been better off if the system was destroyed
>She could get revenge for Kagari and then chase after Makishima later on.
>She could bring justice for the murder of Kagari as well as the murder and suffering of thousand of innocent people who were forced into this shitty situation by a bunch of sociopath brains
>Let society actually reform instead of keeping it in this hellish Orwellian state.
But she didn't, she only had her eyes set on Makishima and acted as if he was somewhat worse than the Sybil system, when arguably both of them are equally as bad and both of them killed and caused suffering of her friends, I love how she just fucking conveniently ignores the fact that Sybil killed Kagari as well as completely deriving people from the worth of their decisions. She should have a personal agenda against both Makishima and Sybil, but yet conveniently ignores her agenda against Sybil because she is that much of a tool.
Sybil was completely right about her, she is no fucking risk because she is too much of an useful idiot.

Hi guys
I'm Chiri.
some of you know me, many of you don't; it doesn't matter, really.
Just here to remind everyone that fantasy is distinct from reality because mortal men fear the uncertainty of death and the pitiful attempt at a coup/resistance to a powerful government with a military and spyware literally carried by insurrectionists simply proves that men alone are weak and that the powerless have nothing to prove against better technology; this is the year, rejoice in it, that no good deed goes unpunished - let them rule and they will go easy on you, as it's always been.
You want to post shit online about harming people? Well, sir, madam, son, you have no idea what you're up against; it's a modern global surveillance system. You can't even drop off the face of the earth, so you'd better show your true colors. It's better to live honestly, scrape by, get your shitface on once in a while but don't end up on the street sucking dick for a dime, or suck on welfare.. disability is the jackpot though, in Canada you can push your income up to 900/m+ sometimes and I've seen people fake it.
I have a job and a line of credit, so I'll do whatever I can to keep my income going, even though I know as I age it will become harder to continue to perform labour as I slowly die, knowing I will be replaced if I get fired, probably end up on the street.. but if I do, maybe my government will take care of me.
Maybe.
Anyway, I'm just here to stir the pot because that's what I do.

What Comics Could Learn From Manga
Thread for people who collect Western comics who are looking to get into manga
I will describe some advantages that manga has over comics:
>With manga, the events in the world have lasting impacts and ramifications on the world and setting
>The narrative is much more streamlined and accessible
>There is a definitive end point in sight by and large
>The characters actually undergo development rather than reverting to archetypes
>With manga, the writer by and large is the same and there is no jarring transitions between creative direction
>No lazy exposition in marketing
>No confusing numbering system or continuous resets
