On this livejournal (https://pieta-au-lait.livejournal.com/1542.html) it says:
>Ingwaz - In the Elder Futhark, this rune is named after Ing, the god who is consort of Mother Earth (Nerthus) in Norse mythology. This rune appears in episode 17 when the little succubus Minori is making her "mud dumpling" and Robin realizes that the succubus is going to become a Witch.
But this rune was also being drawn as a square with four strokes, and in Japanese the pronunciation of "four" and "death" are the same ("shi"). What do you think? Also the mud dumpling is called a dorodango and people make them on Youtube:

This anime is shitty, the MC looks like a 20 something years old succubus and yet she's 16 year old, and the plot is all over the place, ther's better animes out there.

she's 15.
I can agree that the anime sometimes isn't coherent. but I believe it is like that because it has not so much episode to do more arcs. I bet it was designed for more episodes but for a reason they had to cut some ideas or make them shorter. thats why when watching the anime, we're kind of confused why the pace hop on some subjects or plots

Goodnight Punpun Anonymage 09/15/25 (Mon) 03:20:00 No.43759 [Reply]

The way Aiko and Punpun’s story ends left me empty. I knew it wouldn’t be happy, but I still hoped. Guess that makes me stupidly optimistic. Reading it reminded me that people like me don’t get redemption arcs—we just keep stumbling through the same mistakes until it all burns out.

Taken at face value yeah he's a jerk. He grew up with fucked up parents and probably some sort of mental illness so you can't hate him too much. I don't like him though. In the end he's just a whiny failed normalfag with normalfag problems. It's worth a read though, and see for yourself what you think of him.

>>43760
Hits the nail on the head. If the author wanted to actually tell a profound story about some retard, punpun wouldn't even have a single succubus interested in him.

Anonymage 09/16/25 (Tue) 14:50:48 No.43765

I am pretty sure reading Punpun was one of the contributing reasons for my depression when I was 15. Punpun was a failed normalfag but just the idea of a fucked up world where things keep going wrong and how people are morally flawed without being comical villains to be defeated or have their edginess jerked off for cool points was new to me back then.

Dragonball Z Retrospective Anonymage 08/31/25 (Sun) 07:18:44 No.43707 [Reply]

Everyone knows about this anime. It's basic, practically normie tier. But you know, sometimes you got to go back to basics. Besides, DBZ is nearly 30 years old now, so it's pretty old anime.

What was your favorite part of DBZ?
Why do you think DBZ got so popular?
What made it have the staying power it had?

There are so many stupid scenes that stick with me nearly two decades later. Piccolo and then Vegeta's redemption arc. The concept of 'super saiyan.' Krillin trying to do whatever he could even though he was insanely outclassed nearly all the time. Tien's last stand against Cell. All the goddam yelling, grunting, and charging up for 90% of every single episode. All of the "this isn't even my final form" tropes. It seems so campy and tropetastic now, but in retrospect, I think it was because this was the anime that set into stone most of those tropes.

It was a pretty solid part of my childhood, so I just found myself remembering it, I guess.

Should be fine, this movie has it all save for bad ending

Also. I've been told Lucky Star (aka "RaKiSuTa" in Engrish) has been forgotten by younger generation of anime fans. You should try it; it's like milder/less insane Shikanoko-like comedy.

Spice and Wolf Anonymage 08/24/25 (Sun) 19:59:53 No.43663 [Reply]

I really like the economy part of the story. The lifestyle of merchants and such and all Im learning, even though when I was still reading part 3 and 4 I was kind of pissed about how dramatic the story is, because lawrence is constantly taking risks but I keep coming back to it. Now Im reading part 6 and the romance aspect is becoming more and more glaring. It might just be the start but lawrence and holo are kind of like a husband and wife pair now. While their on their boat they are hugging and flirting with each other and I mostly skim through it but then the author decides to reveal a completily new facet to holo as a children loving mother kind of person. She forces lawrence to pay for some random 12 yo boy's fare that got himself scammed so thats the current state of the lightnovel and Im currently pissed and unmotivated to continue reading this shit.
If you read spice and wolf feel free to share your opinons on it.

did you actually read that? I just read the first two chapters of it, like the 10 principles and the models with the circular flow and production possibility frontier, which seemed easy enough to follow. Apparently economy really is a social science, about trying to envision chain of events that might follow a policy change like increasing minimum wage or demand and supply changes and calculating some kind optimum for whats the best value to sell a product at or whatever. I guess now I know what micro and macroeconomics, positive and normative statements or an oppurtunity cost is.

Internet trolling is awesome and arguably a part of otaku culture (or perhaps otaku culture has significant overlap with troll culture, if such a thing could be said to still exist). There is actually nothing more funny and exciting than upsetting people on the internet for personal amusement. Especially normies who are unfamiliar with the internet and places like imageboards.

I believe that internet trolling is perhaps the only thing that can save otaku fandoms from the fail and AIDS of normalnigger hordes that have descended upon the internet

This could be early morning, maybe he needs to get to his car. Actually yeah, I think it says "5 AM" in the bottom right.
But this is very light snowfall, it's probably the last hours of a system which brought a lot of snow.
And there isn't really a wrong time to shovel. Yes, you could have to do it again later, but it's not like that path he's made is going to be filled up in an hour, unless there is a cataclysmic amount of snow falling.
