80,000 Yen is easily obtainable for a highschooler with 4 days of part time work. Japan is a first world country so an $800 anthology collection of a cherished anime isn't something only rich people can afford.

Yeah I am sure the Japanese would hate me if I had to deal with them. I already have problem socializing with people in my own culture, it's going to be a lot worse in an anal-retentive autistic culture like the Japanese who'd get mad if you forgot to use the correct polite verb forms or if they found out you pirated SNES games. It doesn't affect my interests much though. I can continue immersing myself in Japanese media and learning Japanese without actually having to deal with Japanese people. They're mostly normgroids like people everywhere, yes including the otakus that made your fanservice lolicon manga, they're normgroids with friends and usually married not to mention a lot of them are succubi. Feels kind of weird consuming media from a culture where the people would hate me but ehh, I don't meet people, it makes no difference even if they're super welcoming.

Is Neon Genesis Evangelion worth finishing? Anonymage 05/26/26 (Tue) 03:29:06 No.44281 [Reply]

>It just seemed like it's trying too hard to be deep and profound, which I guess is why it's been so popular with normies as of late.
That's kind of precisely why it was popular in anime circles. But this shit has existed for over 20 years, why is it suddenly "cool" now? I KNOW if I tried to show this to any of my…"friends" is the wrong word, acquaintances is better, if I tried to show this to them back then, they would ask me why I was still watching cartoons at my age.

>>44285
I mean, it was cool for it's organic mecha for the time. And I can see why it had it's hooks for 90s nerds/otaku, like it's specifically designed *for* them.

All I can understand is that anime has become "cool" enough that it will absorb (or has absorbed) shit like NGE, the same way it's absorbed things like Taxi Driver. I see so many "literally me" vids polluting the internet of Travis Bickle but you ask any of them if they've ACTUALLY sat down and watch Taxi Driver, most of them will say no.

>why is it suddenly "cool" now?
Because the overton window has shifted and anime is now generally accepted by the normie population. Most probably just watch whatever shonen show is popular at the moment but I guess some normies think they can differentiate themselves by watching "more profound" shows. Normies always try to prove their individuality by doing minor deviations on what is popular and safe. Being into NGE is just an expression of that I think.

I remember NGE being a sort of gateway drug for proto-weebs in the early 00's. If you wanted to go a step beyond Dragonball Z and Sailor Moon, you'd watch shit like NGE and Elfen Lied. I suppose there was a pseudo-profundity or perceived maturity surrounding those shows that appealed to 13 year old nerds. Nudity, violence, philosophical and psychological themes being touched upon (no matter how shallow) give a veneer of seriousness to any show when you're 13 because the only other thing you know is Pokemon.

How does one learn to draw a body while making it look natural?

Cute drawing.

Answering your question: learn basic construction, some basic anatomy (specially proportions and gesture), and draw from observation, be from real life or other art.

It takes time.

I am by no means good but I improved a bit from copying and deconstructing poses on websites like quickposes.com. I also like the vilppu drawing manual and how he breaks things down is extremely useful.

I feel the same. In essense it is not a true battle of mage anime, since the system is left vague and power scale is avoided at all cost. It has its charms with the whole rock paper scissor angle to it.

I don't like how soft the male characters are honestly. When the illusion of "dream like sequence" is gone after the initial chapters, the magic really fades away.

Kids shows Anonymage 05/03/22 (Tue) 01:54:26 No.38895 [Reply]

I've found myself watching, and this thread is as much of a confession as much as anything, kids shows. It started off due to the threads we've had about Cardcaptor Sakura and Doremy, but then I realized after watching them that I was feeling…oddly good and optimistic about the world in general. It's weird, because on the one hand I hate watching this stuff because, well, it's so fucking stupid and vapid, but on the other hand I love watching it because it's so goddam relaxing and healing to the soul. I find myself questioning whether this entertainment is purposefully made this way, to emotionally manipulate individuals past a certain age into a state of depression.

Uhm, thanks for reading my blogpost? Otherwise, I guess share some younger-demographic anime you might be watching?

Oh, I have watched this show with my little niece оnce upon a time. I really liked it. Sweet and calm series.

However, my "path" to anime aimed at children's audiences began with Haha wo Tazunete Sanzen. Unlike Moomin, I watched the show myself as a child. I just remember seeing a cartoon in the style of a very old anime, where a boy in red clothes, living in a small house, left his dad to find his mom.
While I was searching MAL out of curiosity to see what children's or classic literature works had been adapted by Japanese, I stumbled upon this cartoon and remembered it. It was a pleasant surprise. I might watch this show again, but not anytime soon.

Would this board be better if anime discussion wasn't allowed? I like anime, but this board's so slow that having any actual discussion outside of the anime review thread or the cute anime character threads, is basically pointless. The world of imageboards needs a place for niche otaku discussion, but alas, no site caters to such interest. What with the modern day youth on this site, there'd probably just be a bunch of Vtuber threads to take all the anime discussion's place. What does /jp/ - Japan/Anime, think?

In my experience, saturation of a particular conversation theme in any board doesn't mean that the board is doing poorly. It just means it lacks enough people. If you wish to have a conversation beyond anime, manga or light novels, we all would benefit from you making a thread on the subject.

My taste might come off as really generic, but after reading grim manga for years I have come to enjoy light hearted shonem like kagurabachi and dandadan.

I firmly enjoyed the purity culture in dandadan, with emphasis it puts on virginity. It made me happy, many series would shy away from placing that moral weight. Kagura bachi was a nice experience, it's a shame it will never reach popularity demon slayer did, despite actually being decently written.

I enjoy dandadan because it has yokai and Shinto faith integrated in it quite well. I am neutral on sci fi element, but I have loved yokai stories since my childhood. Truly enjoyable.
