/jp/ - Japan/Anime

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.

People say shit about Western adaptations of anime and manga, but truth is most of the Japanese ones are very bad as well, it is something that doesn't really translate well into live action.

I actually enjoyed the live action a lot and I went in expecting to only like it ironically. I think the performances are kind of cringy but I also don't really know how you'd deliver any of One Piece seriously. The physical sets and props, along with the lighthearted camp feeling ends up coming across as a faithful adaptation despite cutting out a pretty large chunk of the manga.

Buggy was literally perfect.

When I was originally on wizardchan there was a ton of people putting enormous amounts of effort into their hobbies, so much so that I fear I could never measure up to them, and it inspired me to try all sorts of things and put more effort into myself. What I've learned so far is since then seems like the board has been reset and no one even enforces the 30+ rule any more so I don't think this is the place for me.

Wrong. The entirety of Z is kino.

>>43189
I stopped being as active ages ago but I stop by now and then to see how all the wizzies are doing. It's definitely odd seeing how some parts of the board culture has changed.

I think a lot about when we got /jp/ made and the anime nights we used to have here that I'd watch while working my night shifts. It's been so long at this point that I forget the handle of the guy that used to organize them, but he always put so much work and effort into making the whole experience fun and smooth.

I've become the person in my friend group that organizes similar anime days, and he comes up in my mind basically every week.

>>43190
nah.
power level creep ruins the series as Z goes on until everything feels pointless.
Frieza is already at a level where he can destroy entire planets singlehandedly, its harder to get much more powerful than that.

>>43189
is this genshiken the manga?

Fujiyama-san wa Shishunki

I am currently on chapter 343 of "Usogui". It's a manga with a gambling theme, but the primary focus is a japanese organized crime syndicate named Kakerou, who have deeply ingrained themselves into Japan's political system and economy to the point of near completely controlling it, and the protaganist, Usogui, is a thrill addicted madman who aims to replace their current leader through a series of high stakes gambling matches. (Kakerou has a meritocracy system where members can advance through gambles, as well as originating as an organization that guarantees the legitimacy of illegal gambling)

In this arc Usogui and friends are dropped off in a "Greed Island" style of area to compete in an island-wide gamble for the right to challenge the leader of Kakerou, in a real life recreation of a popular MMO, which is a pretty drastic change setting-wise from the rest of the manga so far. The goal of the game is for three warring nations to unite, but, as if to mirror the real world, the resources available allocate themselves overwhelmingly towards the upper class which cause players to grow comfortable with their positions, so they are only superficially opposed to other nations and unification/domination becomes impossible. Their focus is on exploiting the lower classes instead, so Usogui, and his opponents, are tasked with upturning the status quo and becoming king to win the game.

I won't pretend it's super deep, but its a very good manga mainly about the destructive nature of gambling that's really good at grabbing and holding your attention with some really neat ideas which turn mundane playground games like hopscotch into absurd life or death battles that "expose the darkness of humanity". Gambles are generally won through elaborate game theory, cheating, and bluffing instead of being luck. The mangaka also gets better and better at drawing as things progress until the art becomes pretty much legendary. There's a big element of physically fighting in addition to gambling and the mangaka being able to draw well leads to some pretty insane shit. I'd definitely recommend it.

The manga I have lined up to read after this is:
>Ultra Heaven
>Kiichi!!
>Yamikin Ushijima-kun

I also follow a bunch of ongoing manga but I'm not sure what the point of listing that would be beyond spoonfeeding. However, it is truly a lot and I'm fairlyPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

Funny coincidence, I picked it up recently as well. It's a very fun manga. I thought it would take forever to catch up with so many chapters and yet I was already 1/3rd through in just a few days, because it's just too much fun. Other than that I haven't read much manga recently except for some isekai stuff and some Junji Ito works.

I'm reading psycho pass, I've watched the anime but it mostly pass through me, now reading the manga it make far more sense, pretty cool story.

>>43184
is the manga better than the anime? Ionly watched the anime

Let's gooooooo

just found about this character. she's cool murasa minamitsu I like her.

how would you design a TCG for touhou?

I wish Nue was real, even though I know she would not date me nor fuck me, I know for a fact she would eat me on a literal sense but still, I would just be happy to be around her.

>>43086
Very true.
The OG adaptations don't even look bad even by today's standards.

Okay I'm gonna reverse my opinion a little here. I assumed the new Ranma anime was shit because it's a Netflix series which usually implies slop but I watched it and it's actually quite good. Visually it's nice, well drawn, pretty colours, good backgrounds, keeps most of the nudity and naught humour. I enjoyed it. Soundtrack is a little bland compared to the older version but otherwise it's good.

>>43156
It messes with the material to please modern western gender politics to the point of outright censorship.

I don't give the faintest fuck about how pretty the colors are. That is utterly superficial.
They corrupted the intention of the artist for the sake of evil bullshit. They can go fuck themselves with a broken bottle.

>>43157
Netflix did DMC dirtier; the studio may as well have made their own original character who hunts supernatural creatures. Capcom should have said "no" to using its intellectual property.

>>43181
My expectations of video game adaptations in general are extremely low.
The number of good ones can be counted on a single hand. Two if you are very lax on defining good. Vast majority take tons of "liberties" to the point it at times doesn't even resemble the source material in a lot of video game adaptations. So it doesn't surprise me that DMC turned out the way it did.

bottoms just ugly holy shit

I watch the Spanish dub years ago but I don't remember much about it. At least is not as boring as Heidi was.

>>43133
Why the modern counterpart looks like she is hyperactive?.

>>43146
Anne is described as lively in the novel. For her to possess such an outward enthusiasm from the start is necessary to set her apart from the reserved people of Avonlea to better illustrate her development in to a quite and polite young lady. Remember that in this scene Anne believes she's finally being adopted in to a loving home in a beautiful community, a happiness she's never known before. It's only appropriate that she be ecstatic, even if it makes her appear feral when jumping around while Matthew is stunned and still.

duolingo doesnt always use words in the right context, or misses the nuance of asian languages. it also doesnt really make transitive vs intransitive verb usage and their accompanying particles very clear, which is an important thing in a lot of other languages, but not that important in english. i would say maybe use it as an aide to a textbook, but not as the main tool.

明かりを消す - (somebody) turns off a light
明かりが消げる - a light turns off

おもちゃを壊す - (somebody) breaks a toy
おもちゃが壊れる - a toy breaks

there is a different verb and particle to use if the verb is transitive vs intransitive. duolingo hardly teaches that matter other than just throwing a bunch of verbs at you and hoping you notice the difference.

I gave up on learning Chinese, but I find hanzi very aesthetic. I just take notes like this 价 芥 阶 疥 界 尬 every day or use them in real contexts. For example, a flower 花 on the green grass 青草 - 花 化 华 哗 桦 货 靴 人 匕 - 草 朝 障 章 日 十 。 Any ideas from your mangas/anime? I'd like to see something like the Lion-Eating Poet in the Stone Den (Shī shì shí shī shǐ) poem made with similar characters, not phonetics. Surely you MUST have some ideas. The last time I was watching anime, literally ten years ago, I remember how the fourth WataMote episode begins with Tomoko's dream turning into characters in real time, surreal, reminding of old school rpgs with ASCII graphics

In Japanese, people sometimes like using numbers in place of normal characters, kind of like in English when people write "2 hot 4 you" or something.

You often see this in Japanese online usernames. Sometimes a username that seems like nonsensical numbers might actually be spelling out a word.

Here is a list of numbers and the sounds they're often used to make:
>0 お
>1 い
>2 に つ
>3 み さ
>4 し
>5 こ ご
>7 な
>8 は ば ぱ はち ばち ぱち
>9 く
>10 と

Here are some examples of how they're used:
>8888 ぱちぱちぱち (pachipachi, clapping onomotopea)
>072 オナニー (onani, word for masturbation)
>3150 さいこう 最高 (Saikou, meaning best or great)

I know about it, I like I find it cool like in the exemple yu-3 (3=san) and 'yume 2kki' (2=ni)
great exemple is pagers

>>42515
So they use them in place of their pronunciation instead of the letter their shape resembles like here in the west? For example I would expect them to use 5 instead of ち or　ら and 3 instead of ろ or る.
Also that pic is very funny, too bad he had to summon a き　out of nowhere for it to work

I'm a sucker for the rule of cool so my favorites are Final Wars and those with Mechagodzilla, especially the original one from 1974. On the same note, and despite not being strictly /jp/, I also like Pacific Rim a lot.

>>43167
vs Mechagodzilla was insane since it was the first Godzilla movie to have blood in it. Also in the sequel it introduced one of the coolest kaiju, who sadly never reappeared in anything ever again. Well, movie wise.

Final Wars was great cause it at least gave a very small cameo to my favorite enemy kaiju, Hedorah.
