I've started reading Chainsaw Man by the same author and it's just as good. This mangaka is fuckin crazy

Picked it up after catching up with ChainsawMan, Really is good, I did not see any of these twists coming.

Very excited to see what the mangaka has in store for ChainsawMan after seeing how batshit Fire Punch got.

>>33855
soooooo it's a fantasy story?

The manga was a fun read but very shit in many ways became convulted trash and the ending is a good way to spot normalfaggot big brain larpers because people pretend it was deep wen it is clear the author was just seeing how wacky he/she could get.
The manga started out VERY strong though but got all shit after a few arcs.

It's the meme man!!! xD

No thanks

nothing new. I see normalfaggots wearing those le ebin hentai collage shit

If this stuff is getting traction in popular culture, it's only because it's good. If it makes you so uncomfortable that people you hate are into it, just keep reminding yourself that they'll move on to something else within the next 5 years.

Imagine caring.

it doesnt mean anything, people love le epic melancholic anime art and always have. they dont view it as "guro" anyways so why care?

Anyone know why nips do this job? I coulnt google anything about it.

What? This is not an exclusive Japanese thing, people all over the world use tally counters to determine an average of how many people go through one street, store or location of a given day, week, etc. If you live in a high density area and pay attention, it's not rare to see those in use.

Satou's visual novel actually exists, though is non ero.

It even lists Satou Tatsuhiro as the author, also that "S&Y" trademark.

This kind of shit is why I like japs, they went as far as hiring an actual eroge company (Circus) and creating a real game to give as extra for the manga.

>What an existence, to have an inconvenient level of compassion for pixels while we scoff at and walk by real people crying for help all around us. Truly a wiz feeling.

That's because pixels don't betray you and talk behind your back after you help them, there was a small ugly succubus in middle school, everyone said that she was fugly and wanted nothing to do with her, I talked to her sometimes because I felt bad for her without being real friends we used to talk sometimes about stuff.

She got a bit better in High School and I tried to talk with her then, she wanted nothing to do with me and even heard her talking shit about me behind my back with her new friends, calling me a weirdo and a virgin loser.

That's what I get for being nice to people, the vast majority don't deserve it and they wouldn't be nice to if you were the one in trouble.

>>35527
Still you did the right thing. Otherwise you would forever regret not helping. Now it's on her conscience not yours.

all loli eroge are must have-tier

After finishing Summer Pockets Reflection Blue, I got back into continuing the 暁の護衛 trilogy, the later instalments are just as fun as the first one. I do have a bias towards ojou-sama heroines, but while this particular work is lacking a bit on the art and music front, the dialogue and banter between the characters is brilliant and a pleasure to read.

It's more of a story/drama/comedy focused work over a purely romance oriented one, but that only makes for a more exciting story.

>>35559
No. In 2000 I read the first one in a single night, which was probably a little demented of me. The authorship struck me as boring children's literature so I wasn't interested in the rest. Tolkien it was not.

sucks 4 U

>>35566
yeah I'm really missing out on that mcdonald's literature

I'm desperate for options and I'm really picky. Is votoms worth watching? I found a nyaa torrent with everything but it's 39gb…ugh

>>35581
In your case I believe it's better to use streaming sites so you can quickly watch and drop a lot of anime. Since you're picky, it seems like a waste to wait for a 40gb torrents that you might not even enjoy.

>>21816 is fine, you can post in there.

I am very much a male in a male body since birth but I relate to Misaki and feel I have similar problems as her and really misaki is literally me.

Misaki only desires to help someone else and live through them I cannot tell you how much I am also like that.

The hate Misaki gets is unfair she has a lot of problems even more than satou who is only socially anxious and lazy.

Reminder that the MC was a hikikomori in the japanese way and not as would be common in the west.

>mental health issues
He was a hikikomori more due to his feeling of failing and withdrew there were no scenes explicitly showing he had an inability to go outside at all.

Miaski self harms and has tried to kill herself while living with abusive family and she wanted a friend she was not a typical succubus.

Reminder that the MC was very crab like and thought lewdly of the MC even falling in love with another hikikomori man in the vidya arc.
Also what the fuck was the vidya MMO arc it was shit I feel strongly that the anime adaption should have had at least 12 episodes per arc or at least not with the additional arc.

The only improvement the anime did as an adaption is clean up the mess of the manga storyline and in some ways the LN itself.

In the LN a lot of different stuff happens including some very confusing scenes it felt like it could have been more fleshed out also reminder that the adaptions are very much toned down because the MC becomes a lolicon in the LN.
Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

The anime was actually toned down hard compared to the novel, in the novel Satou uses actual drugs and it seems way more desperate at times when in the anime it was mostly played by laughs, and Yamazaki while being 2D obsessed too is a full blown pedophile actually giving Child Porn (not anime loli but real 3D CP) to Satou and satou downloading tons of CP from the internet, this was back in 2003 or so, today the novel wouldn't be published, actually the editorial went bankrupt.

There are more differences, the novel is very different at times, it's sometimes weird because of that, Hitomi was an afterthought in the novel with a single paragraph mentioning her, I don't even remember if the author named her, and the online game and multilevel sales shit doesn't exist in the novel.

The anime is quite entertaining, I liked the online game arc and Yamazaki is more likeable in the anime too, he's stupid a hypocrite traitor bastard that abandons 2D for 3DPD though.

I wonder how satou would be in 2021, probably he would be a normalfag like everyone else, too bad that no one will ever make a sequel.

I'm sorry for the many mistakes I made in this post, I'm tired and phoneposting rn.

The novel is not really that good though, it gets confusing and boring at times, only the ocassional otaku references save it when it gets bad, the anime on the other hand is very entertaining.

The ending makes even less sense in the novel.

>>35522
100 the amnag and anime toned it down a lot and it really does get confusing some times like when Satou takes a bunch of DMT and we have a chapter or two of him tripping balls but it was ok.
Satou even in the book never seemed to be very near the edge of suicide it could have been much more bleak for my liking.

I felt like the anime,novel,manga had some serious flaws and we often overlook them or at least appear to because it is one of the only media about being a hikikomori most of us have consumed.

The anime was a good watch the gaming arc was fun the MLM arc was a bit of a mess and plain stupid if you aks me.
The anime is so much more of a mess I did not even finish it to be honest I read a great deal of it though.

I wish we had a more well polished bleak hikikomori book I would like Inino Asino to make a manga about this topic he can actually do well with something like this but seems he is busy doing his cutesy style and from what I read he may have moved on from bleak depressing manga.

I used to be really into Taku Furukawa shorts when I first started getting into independent japanese animation, also Ryu Katou was one of my favorites as well

Ryu Katou's later stuff for NHK reminds me of a guy like Cezanne, it's really bright and cheerful
