Kawahara lamented, that while TIS and AO and other such titles scattered across his notes now lost to digital enclaves were the works he put more passion into, and whose collective worldviews he admitted were of greater personal interest to him, SAO instead would be the only project to take of, one that eventually would also even garner global recognition! … A fact he just couldn't understand but would nevertheless be obliged to roll with under the duress and blackmailing of editor Miku, now a comfortably rich CEO and a robust family man who profited off the gamble, fattening his pockets, while he -Kawahara- remains yet infinitely busy, lost to labor for mysterious cabals; indeed, it is no surprise the man in his 50s can't write much anymore, even if he wants to.
Yes, for SAO, it was (and still is) an immense success… one so certain in its enormity, that it again would lead to the author's lament, a strangulation, a discomforting palpation that would disease the source novel volume 18 onwards.
This begun following an interview somewhere in the states and elsewhere where questions of why SAO had 'rape, and so much cruelty' 'why can't you give the succubi more agency!?' were brought up, flying left and right, many a prompt of this sort… Kawahara's hands were after this instantly tied, so clearly evident by the response he gave: "these will be fixed.".

There can be no doubt about it: those questions being brought up over such a huge audience created a butterfly effect too strong. Editor Miki would not overlook it. He did not overlook it. Fate for this would would alter.
…And so, the intensity of SAO would thereafter dim, its antagonistic element reduced always to something 'acceptable'. Worse yet, Kirito would now be artificially directed to forever project a family friendly atmosphere at all times… he never again will break past the yoke of 'good' disposition.
Not long after, the time-keeper would throw his watch, and now finally, with SAOP9, SAO has injected homosexual gay characters into its cannon. Leyshren Zed Yofilis head first, Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

Goblin Slayer Volume 10. LN. Has its own manga counterpart probably adapting the arc. Written post-anime, around its peak.
Had to stop the JP side, in fact the whole world after overseas examination especially, from conflating blacks -> goblins. This is the appeal to them.
It's not the whole thing, but here's an excerpt from ch1 and ch2 regarding the character in question, Sister grape. Two pics of her as well.

ch1

"Hmm…”
…there was no blaming Goblin Slayer for his low murmur.
This succubus had skin as dark as a well-sunned grape (illustration shows she's just black), and luxurious black hair flowed from under her cap. Add to that her eyes, green as a pair of emeralds, and it was clear this succubus was not from around here. She was human, yes, but humans came in many types. She was most likely one of those people who had wandered up past the southern mountains…

Character's called Sister grape btw. Token blackie for the world.
At a later chapter, this would transpire-

Ch2: ghouls & ghosts

“Eh, seems nothing has actually happened yet,” Sister Grape had admitted with an embarrassed smile. “It just worries a person, having goblins skulking around.”
“I agree,” Goblin Slayer had replied. “I agree completely.”
The problems started after that.
It wasn’t clear who had said it first, or why. But whispers began in town, at the taverns, even in the dark corners of the Guild.
“Think that nun (<- sister grape ) is a goblin’s spawn?” they asked.

damn Im glad I stopped reading and buying GS manga. at first I was angry they stopped to show succubi being raped by goblins and now they put DEI in the story.
For SAO, it was shit season 1 because when asuka had sex with kirito it (SAO) jumped the shark

[–]  No.43052>>43053>>43054

>>43051
Hey, nice, I'm still up anon, so I'll respond.
I stopped GS for the exact same reason, and I considered it a great loss because the volume just before the DEI one was actually Goblin Slayer at its best. Of course, I quickly stopped caring and just deleted it off my library, since that's the privilege of a market with a thousand other options.
Also, even though SAO might've jumped the shark, the worst thing is-any potential it might've had to become something _better_ after the fact, however slim, was destroyed.
I read the novel. Waste of time. There's a gay shitty character with a sob background exactly as in OP for the 9th work in the prequel spinoff, a completely unnecessary background that retroactively destroyed anything decent this guy might've had and done.

Anyway, that aside, and for something better, there's another manga you can purchase and read ( it's truly good, and genuinely satisfied me ) if you want Goblin Slayer but basically better, fully uncensored. I'll drop a link and name if you're interested.
It's part of the very, very, very limited manga I purchase.
I've ended up so thoroughly selective of what I read now to the point I run hours and days even weeks of examination on the everything to do with X work I'll be reading.

[–]  No.43053

>>43052
Addendum: SAO masturbates Asuna too much as well, pushing her positions of extreme always assured significance, or else her crew of friends, in lieu of 'destroying the image of standard heroines', consequently reducing Kirito to nothing more and outside an instrument who just saves the day as his presence need still somehow be necessary; he's someone whose truly empty outside existing in the framework his archetype permeates. It's sad.
After the first 1/3rd of Alicization, everything that made him potentially human, humane, was destroyed. The friendship with Eugeo was nice, but alas.
Even putting that aside, and the latest volume of progressive, it (the spinoff) feels truly useless after the 3rd book.
I made myself read too much of this for nothing.

Then again, this work seems to have an unusual amount of female fans, the illustrator is drawing gay looking shit, has been doing so since inception, so they're just catering to where the money flows, and I can't bring myself to give a shit for what a female audience is interested in anyway.

Instead of trying to save japan's population through robots or immigration. Why doesn't japan just downsize their economy and all their assets to suit a smaller country and return to being a national backwaters? It'd be the most based thing to do and it'd stop them from being globohomo'd into oblivion.

It seems globally labor is the limiting factor for economic growth for governments to leach rather than petroleum resources.
The economic system isn't the issue, it's governments addiction to spending money they don't have to buy votes in one way or another.

Our entire economy is propped up by the 400 billion human workers in hydrocarbons that do not renew on a relevant timescale. We are already running out of the easy to drill stuff, hence fracking and the like. That and a general culture of always wanting more shit that is clearly pointless. Psyoping people from an early age to get into the rat race to impress other normgroids online.
The only way of fixing this would be a bottom up change in values and culture but needless to say, that's not happening. We're fucked beyond repair and will witness total economic and then social collapse within our lifetimes.

Lol. Much as everyone here's interested in Japan's prolongation proper owing to their interest in its media, or an innocuous fascination with just its history, perhaps even simply wanting for an obstruction against the all reaching tendrils of globalism and subversion, the reality is that the country's already hegemonized.

Like South Korea, feminism has been killing and killing and killing them for awhile now, it's an unfathomably titanic problem, dwarfing any its western counterpart, Asians really ramp up these stupid shit. The typical person is indoctrinated with leftist nonsense to the extent Laurence Douglas couldn't be happier, and the Japanese man of any worth and merit grows ever distant and distasted for his countrymen.

They'll scream against you being a 'rightist', or rather ネトウヨ for professing so much as expressing any notion toward the conservation of Japanese culture, and really, their collectivist framework doesn't help in this regard, for when one man says something, and the other agrees, all of them fall in line.
Most shows, most creative work, most games and most everything these days are being disparaged and supplanted by the aforementioned feminists, and anything in its orientation designed to appeal to men is being destroyed.

The idea for marriage, stuff like this, is altogether being eradicated too and, wherever it might actually happen, Japanese succubi have settled for western men, for which they hold firm conviction will 'serve them properly' owing to their 'better allure, body and shape' comparative to 'fat western succubi.' When the Japanese man says this can and will probably ensue in trouble with their families and conflict with their history, they're brushed off, told that they're worthless. These succubi truly, genuinely believe western men will bend over for them, and well, for anyone who browses the net much, I guess they're somewhat right.
It's all rather sad for the slave office worker wanting for a solid life, really.

Ultimately, the young Japanese man of today lives in a country whose destiny is to be usurped by foreigners, who can't speak against it for fear of being labeled 'rightist', whose opportunity toward a conventional life is thwarted as feminists have determined the worth of a Japanese man to be below trash ( putting aside western men, they fuck South Koreans and rePost too long.

I watched the live action and it was decent. I mean, it's corny and goofy as fuck, but what else can you expect from One Piece. Apparently the mangaka had some say in the creative direction so they couldn't flip race/gender/sexuality of the characters like you usually expect from Jewflix.

Why do you think it's trash?
The main characters are well written for the most part, and have actual logical development going on.
Ange is certainly among the better characters out there.
Also has some pretty good combat scenes and the BGM is nice.
If you can see past its sometimes ridiculous presentation it's a pretty good story.

I got the Microsoft mixed reality headset awhile ago.
It by modern standards is also a bit shit.
Played it a good amount for the first couple years of having it, but these days it's pretty rare for me to bother, and when I do it's probably for a action or movement related game rather than porn.
Doesn't help that it's been a long while since a halfway decent feature complete vr H-game has come out. So few projects feel even remotely finished.

I have no clue what is keeping you people from talking about the best contribution Japan has brought into the Americas.
Personally, I like any 90s Honda Coupe just as long as it's possible to rice up to 500+ horsepower with at least 50 pounds of torque. The Honda Del Sol was by far my childhood dream car, but I ended up settling for a Honda CRX my parents gave me.

Any Toyota fans out there too? Toyota has been going down the drain in terms of fun factor. I can't wait until Toyota's reliability goes down too to the point where Toyota stops production in America alltogether like Toshiba.

And of course, Mazda is doing just fine.

I just have a shitty old Toyota that doesn't even run right now. I could have it towed and repaired or just replace it altogether, but I don't care enough about cars to sort it out. I just walk to my parents' place and give them money to buy me groceries when I need some. I'll probably get it fixed eventually. What I really want for a car is a '67 Stingray, but those are expensive as hell nowadays. Probably a bitch to maintain and a keying magnet, too.
