never read punpun but tell me if I'm wrong, punpun is a jerk that deserve hate

>>43762
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.

>>43763
thanks for answering

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.

>>43759
It's a vapid, boring piece of shit unworthy of even being considered manga with zero value that only dumb niggers could possibly enjoy

its over 9,00 lol

I have never watched dragon ball. They always play at the same time as other cartoons on sunday morning in my country.

>>43708
AND THIS…IS…TO GO…EVEN FURTHER BEYOND!!!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

>>43707
One of those animus I used to enjoy watching on YTV back in the day along with Inuyasha. I think it was on Bionix?

it was second only to Pokemon in terms of Japanese influence on my childhood, will always love it even if its very dumb, it never lost its heart (well, untill Dragon Ball Super but I consider all that non-canon)

That's pretty sweet! Been forever since I've been down to the Asian market, I'll have to watch for this next time I go.

>>43689
are you in japan?

>>43695
Yes. Spiritually.

>>43701
me too, me too…

Boku no Pico. Go in as blind as you can

Just finihed watching REDLINE (2009), a sweet soda variant of rock-themed anime.
>the only shows I really like are the sopranos, breaking bad/bcs and the venture bros

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.

>>43674
ew!
is harcore hentai, not anime

dayum youre old

Just read Principles of Economics by Mankinw, bro.

>>43664
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.
>>43665
yeah bro thats very accurate

>>41815
She was "done" in an epic fight with Yue in ep. 47


however, fans wanted moar


and that's how Clow reemerged as a kid that just wants to see more Sakura in action (pretty straighforward, huh?)

>>43598
or was it ep.46?

anyway, the point stands: she got all the Clow cards, but then, a mysterious young mister decided to toss some extra challenges

>>41812
Because it's a kids' anime and kids' anime tend to be long. Precure is like 15 times as long.

I watched about 20 episodes of this show I liked it but got a little bored of the formula by that point

>>43658
It actually kind of changes up a bit once Sakura captures all of the cards

hmmmmm!

You ARE right.

The otaku media is the reason I managed to survive the /dep/ zone

>>43377
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

>>43654
normies are willing to spend TRILLIONS (in unrealized profits) just to board up their senses from otaku trolls, kek

do you have a pdf of hikikomori/outsiders/ otaku in japan?

>>42540
its already a problem how much media they produces about hikkos
it implants the manifestation into the youth's minds. they will cast the role of hikko upon others or themselves.
>you are what you eat
you should take sun wukong's lesson and assume that you are also what media you consume

>>42559
I'm a apprentice in a virgin boy website, I am hollow on the inside and I am what I eat:internet

>>42559
>it implants the manifestation into the youth's minds. they will cast the role of hikko upon others or themselves.
lol wat? That role is bestowed upon outcasts by others whether they like it or not irrespective of what tv says.

>>42182
True

Normies: escape reality via normie shit
Hikks: escape reality too, in their own way

>>41303
Man, Bepop from Netflix was so bad

>Akagi
I watched a few episodes of akagi just now but I didnt understand anything about majong.

>>43591
just noticed that reply is from a decade ago lol

I really like Space Adventure Cobra's intro…

There's no blackpill. I'm a bleeding heart, a lover of my interests, just as you and anyone else. Why the misanthropy? I love Japan too.
What differentiates us is the fact that I've lived there, indeed live here presently, Fukuoka prefecture, and have been in and off the country at large for over 7 years now, giving me an understanding of the approaching event horizon.

The sustainment of its culture and its foundation rests on an establishment too thoroughly intertwined with the support of its aging male population; those old men whose youth has been exhausted, whose predilections are, by and large, globally looked upon with reproach, whose communal support of and with one another is dependent on a network accessible only to them, and whose time has past. Once they're cut, it's game over.

You think Nagaru Tanigawa's gonna finish Haruhi? or Nasu will be ready to create something else for Type Moon? or 47 year old ZUN the likes of which speaks about Touhou's end. Really? These men with families entering their 50s or 60s have had enough, and their protégé are soon following, retiring to a halcyon life as their country spins a new tale. Who even buys anything except for those old men, of clear heart, wanting for more so they refrain from pirating.

Z-kun doesn't care for that, in all parts of the world.

Just as Takao Saito died, Akira Toriyama died, Kentaro Miura died, the remaining old guard will collapse, and thereafter nothing similar shall beget, for today's stage is a globalist type, and none no longer possess the steely mind necessary to resist its flare as they chase for money unavailable in their shamble of an economy.

Passion is dead, Z-kun exhibiting it still lesser somehow.

That's why high school settings are being banned. That's why 'underage' depictions are being annihilated. That's why anything libertine is being equated to things licentious and grossly perverted. That's why gore is rampant, because it's better to show a man being shot sixty times than seeing a flash of panties.

I always feel a stab of guilt when I read a JP comment and they complaining that creators they've always been following have begun lessening the intensity of their content to appear agreeable in western -in your- eyes, and express a powerless dismay against this. Just a mellow feeling

so japan is over and the fatest it dies the better, am I right?

>>43056
Partially.
Japan is over, yes, but not altogether so, and accordingly, to put that struggling remain out of its strangled misery, it is only best to deliver a swifter and faster death, lest it survives and transforms into a resisting bastardized amorphus blob, a shell of its former self, a willing carrier of disease, a thing which anyway will surely rapidly die… but not before taking the salvageable with it following a repulsive reign it will construct where flagellating all its prior merit will be commonplace. Yes, a faster death is better. Letting it live in a direction which normalizes shit is no good.

Accelerationism is an interesting policy.

Owing to natural phenomena, once everything resets and returns to nothing, the ensuing reconstruction will again recreate divisions of 'Good' and 'Bad' with the former of greater strength than the latter, more plentiful, allowing for a period of repose, until again the refuse is large enough that circumstances call for another reset.

All cabals in the world, all conspiracies, all machinations, all malevolency and good, creation entirely, from plant to insect to dog to man, good, bad, operates with that policy in mind, pushing for their own respective time of victory, and Japan's period must once more arrive, 62,530 days after Perry forced them to open up.

In the other thread, I'm sure you're the Penguindrum poster, yes? the show is good. Nothing like it 14 years later. It was especially interesting before Kanba's fallout.
The central theme in the whole thing is a merciless unveiling of the inability to truly overcome fate. Everyone was playing to the seductive tune of Sanetoshi Watase, even he himself. Bittersweet was not the ending, it was horrifying. Unlike Madoka, even if Kyubey always wins, the succubi can at least evade misfortune, but not so here. Actually, I wonder how that'll go in the next movie. Maybe it'll be worse for them, and Homura's rouse will collapse inward into itself, and as she despairs and weeps with no way to fix, Kyubey will be off with that Cheshire grin of his, a fresh pile of misery behind him.

But Urobuchi's a pretty happy guy these days, and after 2014, I think some ban was placed on animated media suggesting depressing themes. The stuff that's bleak is consigned to literary mediums now.

>I'm sure you're the Penguindrum poster, yes?
yes I am. you're pretty clever. apparently the movie don't add so much to the story. thats what I read on internet

>>43043
ugh


even anime like Gundam GQuuuuuuX features smartphones as something mundane.
