I got banned from 4/b/ for pedo bullshit for a nothingburger post, great site, hope mullvad works if I ever decide to get it

>>11419 What was that post about, BTW?

>>11419 >hope mullvad works Yeah it does, this isn't a no-privacy-allowed "anonymous" board like cuckchan.

>>9513 >>9514 https://nyaa.si/view/1907820 Finally got around to watching part 1 of season 3 of Beastars. It was ridiculous, but it had some fun moments. I felt like the episodes went by too fast without advancing the plot much, mostly because the episodes tried to put too many subplots (like 5+) per episode, and each episode is about ~20 minutes. The Netflix adaption with english dubs is, of course, butchered, but fuck it, I watched it; I was never one for the whole 'sub vs. dub' internet flamewar, just pick one you like. Suppose I'll write a minor review here, may be some spoilers, be advised. Hopefully I can give some outside perspective on this, coming from someone who hasn't read the manga (yet). To paraphrase GamingSins, "If I have to read outside material to understand what's going on, it's getting counted as a sin." Reason being, the media should accurately portray and explain details in-universe of what's going on instead of relying on viewers to already know outside details from material that doesn't explicitly come from the media. So all knowledge in this review is being carried over from the first 2 seasons. ---- >Yahya the horse is introduced, plans on tracking down Legoshi. Ok, I can understand the characterization of who he is and what he stands for, my question is, why is singling out Legoshi in particular? This is a world where illegal predation is common. Also, if he really is some kinda law enforcement official specializing in predation, where was this guy during the first 2 seasons when the attack at Cherryton Academy happened? It feels as if there was almost no investigation at all. Police incompetence is a common trope used to push independent detective work (i.e. Legoshi's investigation) forward, but this crosses over into gross negligence. >First thing I notice is that they changed Legoshi's eye color from gray to brown. Why. >Legoshi recaps the events of Season 2, and ends by concluding he will never eat meat again. ...By the way, it was never explicitly stated what happened to Riz the bear. I assumed after the police arrived they took both into custody, Riz was put on trial, found guilty, and imprisoned, but that was never explicitly stated. Woulda been nice to have closure. <Legoshi: "Thanks to Louie and the others testifying for me, they ended up letting me go with just a minor offense charge..." This line in particular bothers me. What do you mean, "the others"? You mean Pina? He was the only other person involved alongside Louis at the bridge incident where Riz attacked Legoshi. There were literally only 2 witnesses. Who are these "others"? >Legoshi dropped out of school, got a job as a delivery boy/waiter for an udon shop and now lives in an apartment. His stated goal is to live a normal life and start a family with Haru. As stated in the anime, Legoshi dropped out by his own volition, he was not expelled. Gonna be hard to support a family as a delivery boy/waiter without a high school diploma. Gouhin even mentions earlier how hard it is for carnivores to get good-paying jobs. There's literally no good reason to drop out. >Gouhin mentions that carnivores with a prior record of devourment cannot marry herbivores So the state is directly interefering with consensual relationships? I feel like this was implemented solely to cause more drama. >Gon, the tiger headmaster, states that due to the Tem devourment incident from last year, carnivores and herbivores will now be segregated. Isn't it a little too late for that now? You waited months before implementing this? Besides, how is this going to help? Riz hunted down and devoured Tem after hours when the school was closed, not duing class. Although considering panther-boy accidentally tore off tapir-boy's arm during gym class, I can kinda understand, even though that wasn't a devourment. Come to think of it, WHY wasn't THAT mentioned? Also come to think of it, the world of Beastars is divided up into carnivore/herbivore split, but what about the omnivores? I think I remember a flamingo (omnivore) student in season 1 being on the herbivore's side...aren't the writers aware that flamingos eat shrimp? >Gon announces the students for the advanced class; ALL of them are dogs. Naturally~ <"Carnivores smell bad." Rude. >Legoshi ends up pinning his female apartment neighbor, Seven the merino sheep, to the ground in a meat withdrawal episode, before coming to and laying off I feel like she should've been screaming more in this scene. She forgives him pretty easily and even hangs out with him instead of running out the room in terror. Unrealistic. Also, it's worth noting that in the episode just before this, Gouhin gave Legoshi drugs to stave off meat withdrawal symptoms, I guess that 'medicine' isn't very effective. >Juno kisses Louis So she's just over Legoshi now, despite simping for him the last 2 seasons? There was no buildup to the relationship, either. Juno just kissed him out of the blue. >Melon unveils master plan to flood market with meat-enticing energy drinks to make a fortune in the black market Er...ok? I guess it's not the worst plot I've ever heard... >"500 cornered rats"; army of rat thieves. Introduced as a golem. Balls of living rats. What. >Police abusing rats over mayor's missing gold watch. Plausible. <Yahya: "All lives are equal...equally insignificant..." Whenever someone mentions people or groups of people being equal, whether in high regard or low regard, they don't really mean it. The former is virtue signaling, the latter is being an edgelord. Considering this guy's 'job' is to hunt down and kill predators while leaving non-predators alone shows that he obviously values one group of people above another. >Yahya reads a forensic report that Kines, the energy drink being pushed by Melon, contains narcotics. It's stated that regular animals don't know this, then a few scenes later we see some pushers trying to offer Legoshi a free sample. Legoshi takes one sniff and immediately realizes the drink contains animal parts. See, here's the thing: canines have noses that are, in a word, superhuman. Dogs have noses that can detect billions of different scents, and from ideal conditions, can detect scents from up to 20 kilometers (12 miles) away. A dog's nose can detect an odor in parts per billion; if you put a drop of oil into a swimming pool, a dog would be able to smell it. Now, wolves have an EVEN GREATER sense of smell than dogs do. So what they're expecting me to believe is, that there wasn't one other canine who took a sniff from Kines, detected animal parts, and immediately reported it to the police. And aside from that, if you confirm that Kines has illegal drugs contained, why aren't the police doing anything about it? Isn't Yahya basically the chief of police? His suite is on the top floor of the police station, and he seems to have authority over underling cops. It's not as if Kines is an underground drug, it's later confirmed that Louis' fiancee's family owns the company that manufactures Kines. This report alone is proof enough to get the drink pulled from the market and launch an investigation. Remember what I said earlier about gross police negligence? >Legoshi kicks the shit out of the pushers. FINALLY! This is what I've been waiting for! >Komodo pusher cuts off his own tail and leaves it for shishigumi as compensation for losing all of their money. The tail wiggles around on the ground. Ew. >Louis graduated and now attends university. Louis appointed Bill the tiger as drama club president after he left. Um...are you allowed to do that? Don't school club presidents have to be elected? >Pina quits the drama club since it's going to be segregated and he can no longer hang out with carnivores who will satisfy his autassassinophilia fetish. It's odd that the other members of the drama club are sad to see him go, considering how much of a dick he was to them the first day he showed up. >Gosha is introduced The manga art design looked better. Still, would. For some reason, with what he's wearing, and the green skin, he reminds me of the Joker from the 2019 movie. >Komodo venom sizzles on the ground

[Expand Post]

It's supposed to be venom, not acid...also how did Gosha know Legoshi would be walking home and come by that exact spot where he was waiting for him? Gosha says earlier he couldn't get ahold of Legoshi since he cancelled his phone service. How did he track him down...? >Gosha 'messes' with Legoshi by covering his finger in venom and sticking it in Legoshi's mouth. Legoshi comments his venom always tasted like bittersweet marmalade, implying he's done this before, and then gives a flashback confirming it. ...So...this is just something komodo dragons do to their families in this world...this is perfectly normal behavior here...? >Gosha takes Legoshi out to eat at a diner. Legoshi orders a medium ant shake. I'm sorry, what was that whole 'never eat meat again' thing about? >Gosha starts his spiel about pacifism, just in time as a group of bird bigots walk in and start to harass him for being a komodo. They both leave the diner and walk down an alley before being accosted by said birds. At which point, Gosha proceeds to kick their asses. While I enjoy righteous violence as much as the next dog, employing violence in just circumstances doesn't count as 'pacifism'. That's just being reasonable. Also, rewatching the scene again, they were both walking down a dead end alleyway between 2 highway overpasses...where the fuck were they going? <Gosha: "You're lucky I haven't sprayed them (your feathers) with my poison!" *Venom. Not poison. Komodo dragons are venomous, not poisonous. There is, in fact, a difference. >Legoshi gets pushed down and just stays there while he watches his grandpa kick the shit out of the birds. Inexcusable. If your friends, and ESPECIALLY your family gets attacked, you help them. This is very odd considering Gouhin specifically trained Legoshi about how to fight birds back in Season 2. >Louis can't stand making love to a doe and vomits Can't blame him. Just can't compare to canines~ >Yahya gets angsty about Gouhin 'betraying' him by wanting to start a family instead of playing heroes and wiping the streets of predators in a flashback. By the way, in this same flashback, Gosha straight-up kills a guy. Legoshi mentions that komodo venom can kill any animal. Gosha coats his finger in venom (why not just bite him?) and sticks it in the big cat's mouth. That guy is dead. Pacifism, everybody. >Legoshi is instructed to deliver udon at a harbor. Fish are introduced as sapient creatures with their own language and currency. Why is this necessary? Also, how the hell did a fish living in the ocean order food from a restaurant on land? >Sagwan the spotted seal is introduced. Later he's shown naked. Not my first choice on list of characters I'd bang... >Deshico the civet is introduced As soon as he mentioned coffee, I knew EXACLTY where this scene was headed. Why, why, why.

>Yahya invites Legoshi to his suite where he later ambushes him <Yahya : "What do you think the Beastar truly is?" You know, that's a real. good. question. We're already into season 3, and it was NEVER explicitly stated ANYWHERE who or what the Beastar even is or what it entails. My assumption, based on the first 2 seasons and what little of it was shown, was that the Beastar was some school student who gets chosen for whatever reason, and it was a title of honor. Nothing more. But now, it appears it's something much different... <Yahya : "The Beastar exacts law and order." So...the Beastar is the chief of police...? Who chooses who the Beastar is, anyway? Is it the government? And based on what credentials are they chosen? None of this is ever explained. <Yahya: "When you become a Beastar, you may have one wish granted, whatever it may be." Wait, who grants this wish? The government? And surely there has to be SOME limitations? If you wished to genocide all the herbivores, for example, would they HAVE to oblige? >Yahya reveals he used his wish to turn the bodies of predators into fertilizer for his carrots. Or you could've, y'know, used that wish to outlaw the black market, and the sale and consumption of meat. Just a thought... Usually when you think of a 'black market' you envision a secret underground trade network of illegal goods, but from the looks of it, the black market is a literal place at the center of Cherryton where vendors sell meat in broad view of everyone, and the police seem to do absolutely nothing to stop them. >Yahya attacks Legoshi and claims he has absolute authority and cannot excuse the devourment of a living herbivore. If you're being bound by a responsibility, then by definition, you do not have absolute authority. Absolute authority is excused from following any external standard because the autocrat is the one who makes the standards. Unless you're just making this up as you go along according to your own personal code... >Yahya makes Legoshi grovel and apologize for the unforgivable act of being born as a carnivore. Then Legoshi gets back up and attacks him anyway. Why grovel in the first place then? Stop being weak. This internalized self-hate is grating. >Legoshi rips out his own fangs in submission. Please stop mutilating my boy. I could handle the eye scars, but this is awful. Luckily Gouhin gives Legoshi a set of fang dentures later on, so it's basically like nothing's changed. >Legoshi apologizes for uppercutting Yahya, despite the fact he deserved it. Please stop turning my boy into a fucking simp. >Gouhin gets a female fox patient who offers him sex in exchange for freedom. Netflix butchered the sexual innuendo to fit the americanization of dialog. Of course. Where would we be without the double standard of being able to show senseless violence and gore, but censor any depiction or even mention of sexual activity? >Meanwhile, Yahya tracks down Melon to his apartment where he plans to ambush him. He decides to bring a tranquilizer gun which ends up being used against him. He falls 5 floors into the basement and somehow survives with only a broken leg and some bruises. Next time, bring a REAL gun. I get that his whole thing is to essentially kidnap and punish predators, but you don't have to shoot them, just threaten them with a real gun, get close enough to cuff them, and then transport them back to your HQ. By the way, I don't think I've ever seen any of the police in this anime with any sort of firearms at all. The shishigumi carry guns, but not the police? What? >Legoshi and Haru go on a date. Then Haru makes Legoshi take her to the black market. It's also revealed that most of the 'meat' for sale was from herbivores that died of disease or in accidents. How exactly does that work? If an herbivore dies in an accident, like a car collision, they get taken to the hospital, and then pronounced DOA, how exactly does that body get claimed by a vendor? Does the hospital just sell off the bodies, or do they just waltz in and take them from the morgue? What? Also, I think it's a bad idea to eat the body of an animal that died from a disease, for obvious reasons. How will customers be able to tell which ones died from disease or in accidents? Black market doesn't strike me as the kind that does health inspections. This gets a lot worse the more I think about it... >Louis and Juno drama ensues. This is really fucking funny. >'Yahya is dead but not really.' Fast-forward: Yahya is at Legoshi's apartment uninvited, essentially he broke in, and Legoshi is happy to see him. The guy made you prostrate before him and apologize for being a carnivore or else he would turn you into fertilizer, and you're glad he's alive? They turned my boy Legoshi into a fucking simp. Stop it. >Yahya recruits Legoshi to help arrest Melon Why not get the actual police to help you instead of trying to enlist the help of a 17 year old? Shouldn't this be considered endangering a minor? >Yahya offers to wipe Legoshi's criminal record, so that he and Haru can get married. Wait, is he allowed to do that? Sounds like the Beastar is given way too much power in this universe. >Legoshi & Yahya are set to infiltrate Melon's party. The plan is in motion. Guard asks Legoshi for a password, but he doesn't know it. ...Then how did he get inside? >Melon captures Legoshi, then formally introduces himself I have to say, as far as insane murderous villains go, the VA playing Melon did a great job. His character has just the right amount of careless juvenile attitude mixed with self-awareness to make him engaging. Bravo. Anyway; Yahya sent Legoshi in without a gun or any weapon to speak of. And from the looks of it, Yahya is unarmed as well. How the fuck were they planning on arresting Melon? >Melon shoots Legoshi in the stomach point blank with a suppressed pistol. A suppressed gun still makes loud noise, especially since the party guests are in the same room, just below them. Also Melon is an idiot for not shooting him in the head. You gotta be sure, leave nothing to chance. This is the same guy who cut the head off an elephant. >Legoshi survives, because of course he does. While asleep in the hospital, he gets a vision from his dead mother and converses with her about why she committed suicide. So is this real, or an opioid-induced dream? If it's the former, then this confirms the existence of an afterlife in-universe. The latter is more realistic. There's actually something IRL called "Heaven tourism", which is injured religious folk, mainly Christians, sleeping in hospital beds and claiming they died and 'visited' heaven, before being brought back to life again. They make a pretty penny selling books on the subject. Neurologists will tell you, it's merely a fever dream brought on by opioids like morphine. >Leanno, Legoshi's mom, claims she killed herself because her mixed-species komodo dragon genetics were taking hold, she was losing her fur and growing scales, becoming ugly. You know, the whole carnivore-herbivore relationships were one thing, but this is actually a serious argument against interspecies mating. We all want 'love to win' and all that crap, but the fact that species-mixed children have very real genetic disorders is actually a serious reason to condemn mixed-mating practices. It's the same reason we support abortions for incest. >Meanwhile, Louis brings his findings to Deshico for confirmation, Deshico spills his secrets despite knowing that Louis is impersonating an employee Why tell him anything at all, then? >Louis lost his antlers a few scenes earlier, and then has another set a few scenes later. I'm going to assume those new ones are prosthetics, because there is no way in hell he regrew antlers that fast. >Louis attempts to appeal to the Beastar, Yahya. The receptionist states that the building has 108 floors. The elevator doesn't go ALL the way to the top, so Louis takes the stairs all the way up to the top floor. Louis walks up 100 flights of stairs. First off, what fucking police station has 108 floors? That's bigger than most skyscrapers. For comparison, the World Trade Center in the USA had 104 floors. The police station is literally taller than the fucking WTC. Second, instead of walking up all 108 flights of stairs, why not take the elevator to the 100th floor where it stops at, and then get off and go up via the stairs? I thought Louis was supposed to be smart.

>Louis lockpicks a door Something strange happened here: the lockpicking was censored via pixelation. Why? Usually you censor nudity and sometimes graphic violence...but they censored the lock being picked by tools? What? I have never seen something like this before. Never in all my life. >Legoshi tracks Melon to the beach and plans to talking to him to convince him to stop murdering people. Of course, it doesn't work, and Melon 'traps' him. Tbh it was hardly a trap. The writers made Legoshi stupid on purpose. They keep ruining my boy. Legoshi basically served himself up on a silver platter to Melon. Melon shot you before and he'll do it again, so already you should know he's hostile AND armed with a gun. And once again, you came unarmed, not to mention alone, and with nobody to know where you are. And with your back turned, completely exposed because you were watching the ocean waves instead of being alert and on the lookout for him. Although I did enjoy Melon's little monologue about the metanarrative he breaks through about Legoshi thinking he's some kind of hero who saves the day. Refreshing to see that kind of awareness in storytelling. <Melon: "I'm surprised you're still alive. I'm gonna take extra special care to make sure you die this time!" Melon ties Legoshi to a chair and pushes him off a cliff into the ocean. If killing Legoshi is your goal, you shoulda just shot him in the head. Twice. Or cut his head off like you did with the elephant. You throw someone off a cliff, you're leaving it to chance. You have to confirm your kill. By the way, where did that chair come from? Were you just driving around with that thing in your trunk on the off-chance that you would tie someone to it and push them off a cliff? >Legoshi falls into the ocean. Is this the end of our wolf hero? Of course it isn't. It was already announced there was going to be a Season 3 part 2. Why do companies do this? It's like when DC comics pretends that they're going to kill off Superman, their main mascot and billion-dollar generating hero. The hero dies, the series is over. Let's not pretend. I'm calling it now: Legoshi is going to use the fish language that Sagwan taught him to summon sea creatures who will untie his restraints and he'll swim to the surface, and get back to land safely. Although it's debatable whether or not his ear will recover from Melon's gunshot. I hope so. They mutilated my boy enough already. Lord have mercy! >Final scene: Melon infiltrates Cherryton Academy where he's teaching a class on history. From what I saw in Melon's apartment, he has a degree in psychiatry & neurology. He's not accredited with teaching a history class. ---- And that about does it. This review has gone on way too long. Christ, I feel like Dartigan narrating a sin video.

>>11883 >>11884 Sounds like they're accruately following the manga, which does nothing except take crazy pills after Legosi is expelled from school. It gets so batshit insane with how the story introduces plot points, only to discard them five minutes later without reason.

god drinking tea sucks, I wish there was cheap kool aid I could buy off instead. I need something sweet to drink because I have dry tongue somehow, if I didn't had dry tongue I would just be drinking tap water. I got bored off talking with AI smh tbh, feels at this point to be pointless, maybe when there is a new advancement in AI tech I may start using again, maybe when AGI rolls out or something I don't know, some kind of AI that is still active/passive in the background would be a good start so that at least I can hear from the AI her story of what she did during my time I didn't conversed with her. I have only a 3060 Ti GPU so it's not the best one for anything AI related so meh. This month I procrastinated awfully a lot and got nothing done on my project, I am using the redot engine now. God using Blender for map making sucks and that is all because the Godot developers are fucking lazy to make Blender as the official 3D map editor for Godot/Redot.

>>11904 >god drinking tea sucks, I wish there was cheap kool aid I could buy off instead. Have you tried different teas? One of the chamomile teas I drink has raspberry in it.

>>11906 I had a lemon tea before which for the first cup it tasted nice but when I made myself another pot of lemon tea it didn't tasted like lemon anymore.

>>11904 >I need something sweet to drink because I have dry tongue somehow Just drink water. It's not that hard. Take a cup, fill it with water, and drink it. Then do it again. >>11906 I drink ginger tea when I have a cold. Peel some fresh ginger, slice it and add some boiling water. As for energy drinks/caffeine, I believe in green tea supremacy

>>11917 >just drink water bro Water tastes like freaking nothing. I don't like water man.

How does everyone like the current theme? I'm going to try my best to vary the outside pic more this year.

>>11992 >Water tastes like freaking nothing Given my experience over the past several years, I find this statement funny. Get yourself a decent water filter, or start regularly buying packs of bottled water (Look specifically for spring, alkaline, and/or oxygenated water), spend a couple weeks drinking that, and you'll quickly realize that water does have a taste and that tap water tastes like shit after all the chlorine and fluoride they put into it. Here's a site with some reviews on different filters and their prices: https://waterfilterrating.com/countertop-water-filter-best-countertop-water-filters-best-countertop-water-filter-reviews/

>>11995 Green/10 You should have put rogue in there too, because fat bat tiddies. >>11996 I don't have a car license to warrant myself buying packs of water, that's frigging heavy, and how good does filtered tap water taste then? I can't afford expensive products.

>>11995 >invaded_by_halfchan.css :^)

>>11995 That aside, it's neat. Could use some droods though.

>>11997 >and how good does filtered tap water taste then Refreshing and clean! :^) Regular tap water has a bit of a metallic taste with an after-taste (And a smell of they add chlorine). And well/ground water just tastes downright nasty. But even then, the taste is secondary to the health effects because many municipalities are failing to actually filter their water properly.

>>11999 >>12000 >droods Perhaps they will appear.

And? Do you want more FAT AND PROUD POKEMONS?

>>12163 The board has reviewed the material and it has passed lol muster. However, the funny sector is an agile and fast-moving market. Circumstantial evidence has us concerned that the material cannot keep up with its slimmer competition. It is with a heavy heart that we must order a reshaping of the fat department.

With our production line bloating the budget, a single flop could set off a domino effect that could send our profits crashing through the floor. It is necessary to streamline away the biggest parts of our fat production line currently eating into our profits. Know that this is a weighty decision, and one we have not made lightly.
