Konaka always kind of sucked to be fair. His script for Hellsing was out of character, ruined Narutaru's adaptation and the last show he worked (GR) was awful

Is there a more relatable /wiz/ character than Yonro? I haven't watched Shin-chan in years since it's a pain in the ass to watch outside of Japan and I'm pretty sure it shares the same fate as spongebob or south park, but is yonro still in modern episodes?

I only seen the version that aired on adult swim and ended rather abruptly.

Never got around to watching the sub because shows with triple digit episodes scare me off.

It's not like you need to watch them in order to understand what's happening. The dub that aired on [as] even aired out of order. Only the pre-early 2000s episodes ever get ENG translated though, so that's a bummer

There were a bunch of subbed episodes up on kissanimu back in the day I think. Now BuriBuri is resubbing Shin-chan from episode 1-present, but at a very slow pace. They're up to episode 38 right now.

Slow but from what I hear the quality of the sub is good.
You know what they say.
There is fast, good, and cheap. You only get two.
They are doing the good and cheap thing, so it ain't gonna be quick.

Tell us your anime likes and dislikes or some sort of information about what you're looking for, or just examples of past shows you've enjoyed, and hopefully someone will recommend you a good show to watch.

Like
>plot driven
>interesting fantasy or sci-fi worlds
>interesting social commentary or philosophical stuff
>hero archetypes
>good character arcs
>political intrigue
>fights where strategy is involved rather than just powering up with beams or determinationing your way through it

Dislike
>romance (esp. pedo shit)
>boring slice of life shit where nothing outside the realm of normality happens (cute succubi doing cute things)
>high school setting and children mcs in general (not always I've just seen a lot of them and it's getting old especially as I myself am getting older)
>slow paced
>fan service that takes away from the plot and wastes time
>comedic relief/gags (situational comedy is fine but the japanese tend to do this annoying shit where they put on wonky music and people yell at each other and they call it comedy)

Blood+ has better writing but is super melodramatic at times and the animation isn't as good as the shorter projects.
The only real reason I didn't like it all that much is because I was expecting it to be like Blood the last vampire when it came out, which it really isn't.

I can't take anyone who doesn't like anime seriously anymore. It happens to anybody else here?
I mean, if someone say that they don't like anime, or that they don't watch it, is practically given that they are normalgroids. So when someone says something it directly or indirectly, I inmediantly lost interest in whatever that person has to say.

Anime has been mainstream virtually since its inception. Definitely by the 2000s. Only difference is back then less people knew it as anime, it was just toonami or whatever to them. Literally everyone I knew in elementary school watched naruto, and dragon ball z, yugiho, etc. but when I tried to tell them what anime and manga was they would act confused.

The real distinction though is that normalfags only watch the most popular anime at the moment, whereas otakus will watch things like ecchi/harem anime that would disgust normalfags, or those with better taste will watch niche shows from the 80s/90s and such.

Which world are you living in were watching anime is some obscure underground thing?

Also, how does consuming a different type of media make you superior to normies? You could make that argument if you were reading philosophy books and non-fiction to expand your mind, but judging by your attached picture you seem to be the type that watches slice of life garbage.

You are coping, trying to feel superior to normies in any way you can, but going about in the most pathetic way possible.

Anonymage 07/20/21 (Tue) 13:32:34 No.37398

Anime is too commercial for me, can't stand mindless "turn off your brain" fun and toy advertisments. There are a few good movies or ovas - whatever you want to call them, that are often based on stories taken from books, which are sometimes good.
The problem with anime stems from the fact that you need a large workforce to produce it, hence its commercial success is the number one priority. The Japanese obsession with tropes is also rather off-putting, not to mention the cutesy asian infantilism found in these works.

Anime like Chainsaw Man attract A LOT of normies even before airing.
Shingeki no Kyojin is also pretty popular among normies (notwithstanding the thinly veiled antisemitism, curiously enough).

Japanese nationalism is something that makes anime cringe these days. It's usually an off-beat quip like "Wow Japan is amazing!" said by some cute stinkyubus, and it ruins the whole series for me.

I don't like making /dep/ressing threads, especially on hobbyist boards like /jp/, but this has been bugging me for a long time now. Japan has always been a hot spot for foreigners, but I've noticed a lot, and I mean A LOT of people trying to invade the country recently. And to make things worse, not only will they eventually flood the gene pool, but they're going to pressure Japanese society into changing their morals as well. Don't think they wont, the Japanese are a very insecure race, especially young people that idolize shitty American pop culture. https://twitter.com/obskyr/status/1274628006103838720.

I'm so scared I'm going to live to see Japan's death before I even get to visit. I wish I could become some sort of stoic wizard samurai and kill any foreigners who plot against the country and its people, spreading propaganda. It infuriates me that eventually SJWs will be normalized in Japan, and people will still deny the fact that Japan will change, saying shit like "nawwww that wont happen" until it does. It happened to the majority of Europe, it'll happen to Nippon too.

revengful characters in anime Anonymage 05/03/19 (Fri) 01:22:50 No.30117 [Reply]

Hey. What character I like from anime?
I like Scar from FMA and FMA B. Why? Because he was mysterious and his country was treated poorly when there was a war.
But after war was over he came after alchemists, because he wanted revenge so much.

That impressed me.

Are there any character who wanted revenge in anime? Give me examples of them.

Most vengeance arcs leave the character inert once they get vengeance unless they get additional character development.
Since most people enjoy well written character development of interesting characters that is the better path if you want to keep that character around in a long form narrative.

A simpler vengeance motivated character works best in shorter and more action focused narratives where there lack of depth isn't as much of a issue.

Odd Taxi Anonymage 05/17/21 (Mon) 20:51:23 No.36433 [Reply]

Has anyone here been watching/reading Odd Taxi? It's already looking like AOTY despite it not even being summer yet, released on the same season as last year's AOTY, Gal to Kyouryuu. "Furry" anime becoming the new moe is wishful thinking, but I hope it happens. Animal worlds ensure more interesting stories in anime. I won't spoil too much since I'm sure not many people on wizardchan have seen it yet, but it's definitely a breath of fresh air with all the idiotic anime that airs these days. Give it a shot and discuss here; episode 7 just aired a few hours ago.

I mean the major things I can think of is stuff like Eva and madoka, which were all about taking genres that were usually lighthearted and action oriented and making them dark and serious. Also a lot of shows were trying to be more self aware of common anime tropes, and pointed them out matter of factly.
