/jp/ - Japan/Anime

>the west

That's the fucking bottom of the barrel of all media if you exclude 3DCGI.

i rewatch a lot of my favorite shows. certain episodes of gintama i rewatch for certain days of the year

i was never much into jrpgs, and while i liked visual novels i just never played many, so im able to fill the void of new anime with other mediums

i refuse to consume anime that doesnt interest me just because there's nothing else left. like another poster said i do occasionally find obscure stuff that flee under my radar but for the most part i'm finished with the categories and themes of anime that interest me most

>but dropped it halfway through because it was a bit too nonsensical for my taste.
I think if you didn't like the first half then you probably won't change your mind as the movie only gets weirder, for me the enjoyment came mostly from not knowing what could happen next and wondering what was going on all the time, it basically held my attention because of the silliness.

China should produce their own kind of animation (like they do in cgi, which makes sense as japan has outsourced much of their 3d animation to china I believe) and not copy something 1:1, remember all the fake toys like yu-gi-oh-cards from them?
In most cases you can see a clear difference between western and japanese animation, even Avatar while looking animeish was still clearly western. First anime were inspired by disney-animations, but even then you could tell that it had its own style that further evolved over many years, while chinese studios have been known before for picking something established and selling it as their own as it is. I would not measure quantity with quality, having more resources means it's also easier to produce knockoffs, or look at all the TripleA-games that are coming out with an enormous budget and a huge staff, they look so good yet most of them are so similar. Globalism has been changing the tide for a while though, if something becomes popular many want to get in on it, now the whole world is producing anime-style content like all those games that slap an anime-picture on their cover, which strips away the cultural aspect from what made them appealing in the first place. Reading your post it seems that you aquired your taste through these anime that you can now enjoy the chinese ones, and mostly because they are similar in many places.

>I like anime that offer an experience which you cannot get from any western show or movie.
these type of anime end up being too try-hard or end up going full nippon nationalist unless you're talking purely animation then there's still only a handful that fit that criteria

once you watch a few anime from every genre you're interested in they end up being all the same

Light novels -> manga -> anime

When's the next HARUHI light-novel?

>>27430
read mushoku tensei,don't fall for the best isekai evar! hype, it's good but the ending comes outta nowhere.

gonna watch spice and wolf then read the LN's.

I remember reading konosuba and No game no life many moons ago both good, use calibre for ebook management it's very convenient also for those who don't know you can send books to your kindle via email.

I also wanna read the katanagari LNs, maybe FLCL after that.

>>27430
I'm still salty from the ending of Devil is a Part-timer.

>>32002
web novels -> light novels -> manga -> anime

saya no uta has a really good OST, great VN too.

https://youtu.be/NkYYYew8CUI
a great banger from OG berserk, very comfy.

dorohedoro has a really good soundtrack all of it is worth a listen

https://youtu.be/NSmukdqyvjU
MIA also has a good OST in general something I would check out.

I though of posting monogatori and NHK too but everyone here probably already knows about it, really am an idiot posting to a dead thread at page 3, no ones gonna be reading this.

I never actually got around to watching the Sailor Moon R movie, is it as good as people say it is?

>>31395
Definitely Madoka. The problems that arises from it are the fanbases hype of it being some dark subversion of the magic succubus genre. Though it is a subversion, it's not nearly as dark as they claim it will be. And even in sad scenes they still retain a cutesy atmosphere (opening song, and other scenes). Kyuubey is supposed to be this dark figure, but his actions aren't that evil, and in fact he is quite kind for what he does. Madoka also has other problems not only with its hype… plot holes, characters, and other writing issues. The art style looks really cool though!

>>33548
This is literally just an Evangelion rip off with a shitty twist ending.

>>33548
definitely, I remember it had some good ideas towards the middle until it got boring again. I hated the white-haired one who always acted like an angel and then betrayed the fat one, I got the message but everything felt too much like some telenovela-relationship-drama.

>>31046
This, not the 90% but sometimes i droped animes after watching 1 or 2 episodes.

I finally got around to finish K-On
Actually made me tear up in the last episode.

>Youjo Senki movie

I think I was bored early on but when the man trapped inside a loli's body started speaking about his hatred for commies and destroyed their capital I am now legally obligated to give this movie a 10/10 for basedness alone. if you watched the anime it's more of that with the MC dominating the battlefield, getting more frontline work, coming up with a plan to escape frontline work and have that plan backfire. the movie is just fun, I think that's the best way to put it. the plot is the same but the execution is good so I say it's worth a watch

>ACCA 13

in a world without niggers the entire world is united under a single royal family and governed by a colossal organization known as ACCA. ACCA runs everything, ACCA is everywhere, ACCA knows when you sleep and when you do bad things and largely considered to be the reason why the empire hasn't gone to shit for the past 100 years. There is also a congress but they have no rights (the empire is still an absolute monarchy) and no one gives a shit about them through the anime.

there is just one problem and that is a region that is inhabited by wizards known as I don't remember. You see all niggers have been eradicated by our glorious king at least 100 years ago but these wizards have turned their skin black and in order to save their mana they get new citizens by opening portals to alternative dimensions and abduct young boys to train them to be wizards after they have completed their training they are considered to be a "brother". this brotherhood aims to control the world but they don't want to lose brothers so instead of an all out war they want to puppet a king and control the empire that way. the current king is 100 years old and the successor is a barely legal retard (who is hellbent on removing ACCA and the congress for the lulz) but instead of taking the easy way and making this retard a puppet they decide to take the hard(fun) way and organize a coup around an illegitimate older male. in case anyone asks the reason for their insane wealth is alchemists turning sand into arable land and oil.

the story follows the vice inspector of the inspection department of ACCA which is shockingly in charge of rooting out corruption. this vice inspector may or may not be an illegitimate heir for the royal family.Post too long. Click here to view the full text.

This is going to be a moreso-than-usual bloggish and self-indulgent post, so apologies in advance.

I tried watching New Game and Stella no Mahou. Here are my unrefined thoughts:

Full disclosure: I really can't stand 'game-making' as a premise. I'm not into video games and I did programming for work for a number of years, which has the effect of ruining my immersion and/or reminding me of the workplace. I know other people love the game-making premise, but it doesn't appeal to me at all. Also every person I've ever encountered in the workplace who had a 'gamedev' background was particularly insufferable in some way, and unfortunately this taints my view of things as well. I'm not judging anyone else for liking the game-making premise, I just really don't like it. I'll probably drop both of these anime due to this, but I'm at least sampling them.

Stella no Mahou:
Somewhat ironically, the production quality is doujin-anime level (read: bad). It's a SoL so this is no big deal, but should be mentioned here regardless.

Really ugly character designs (my opinion, sorry!).
Feels like a formulaic SoL (not necessarily a bad thing).

Finished the first episode and I can tell I simply won't enjoy this much. There's really nothing of note here beyond the premise itself. I'm dropping it with no hard feelings. If you enjoyed it, great, but I know I won't enjoy it enough to justify the time spent. Now I am going to give New Game a chance.


New Game:
I have a weird interest in Japanese workplace culture, so I will likely watch more of this than I would of another equivalent-enjoyment anime. Also, I see these characters plastered all over the internet so at least this will allow me to develop some emotional association with them, for better or worse.

Wow this is really similar to a real-life workplace. This is just reminding me of work. I don't know how anyone with an office job IRL would find leisurely watching this enjoyable. With episode titles such as "Salary is Just a Loophole in the Law to Lower Wages", how could I not feel relaxed while watching!
Oh Christ they're going out to lunch together on her first day and stuff like that. Wow this really is anxiety-attack material.

Just finished the WN of mushoku tensei, it's pretty good but don't fall for the muh best isekai meme; all the books are good except the last one, the ending is so bad, it's sudden I though it was gonna go on for a while but it just ended after it started to get good, It was so anti climatic too.

personality : sylphy > god > eris
body: eris > god > slyphy
overall: sylphy > god >> eris

overall I like it would recommend but read the LN not the WN, it's plainly better.

I just watched Ne zha. I don't usually watch movies let alone Chinese ones but I heard this was the second highest grossing film in China ever so I thought I would watch it. It was basically like a Chinese Pixar movie.

Stealing anime manga and hentai wasn't enough now normies want to steal the hikkikomori lifestyle too.

>Lol I'm such a hikky but I still go on walks with my dog and daddy drives me to places LMAO

>>34682
He's obviously so desperate about not wanting to go back to wageslavery he has to stoop down to kiss normie ass for advertising favors.

>>34683
if you pull your head out of your ass you'd also notice how OP's hikki guy also goes out to buy food or has a family member drive him to a food store. and i imagine 99% of hikkis in japan also go out of their room for food or have family members do it for them. and walking a dog doesn't make one not a hikki since going out for food already break your retarded rule of definitions.
how the fuck do you expect to eat?
you grow vegetable in your room?
stop being such a whining bitch

>>34681
>/jp/
is he a fucking 4channer? a /jp/eople?


>>34685
Nigga you can't be a Hikkikomori that takes walks and goes outside, that's literally an oxymoron, it's like saying that you're a High School NEET or a perfectly healthy cancer patient.

Being a Hikkikomori means being so withdrawn that you can't literally leave your room or talk with anyone besides a few words with your parents, that "Hikki that goes outside" shit was made popular by Welcome to the NHK and shit like that, there are real actual Hikkis that spend all their lives inside like the guy OP is talking about.

This "Hikki that goes outside" phenomenom is just an umbrella term for fucking normies that are a bit shy and think that spending 4 days inside makes them social outcasts and shut ins.

>>30933
Strongly disagree. Especially nowadays, most shows and everything simply can't exist without cute females.

>>32153
it's no worse than western media that can't create anything without multiculturalism and political correctness, I prefer the way anime does it personally

>>32151
Try Koihime Musou unless you hate cute stuff

>>32275
I like Fushigi Yuugi but wish that all the cast to be genderswapped.

>>26976
Animation is perfect

>>34658
I sleep with mine on the other side of the bed and never touch it cause I'm super afraid of getting it dirty.

>>34658
where did you the actual pillow from? I see walmart has some and so does amazon, but I want to get one of best quality

>>34662
I ordered pillow from animedakimakurapillow(dot)com. It was costing quite a fortune. If you're planning to by pillow case as well, remember to buy same size.

>>34662
Not him, but I got two 75cm fluffy pillows from Walmart and then wrapped them in two wool blankets to tightly fill a 150cm case, The wool adds a lot of weight and warmth. The pillows cost about $8 each

>>34662
Not the guy you're replying to, but the faggot who owns the furry one.

I have a CMD9150, it is (150cmx50cm which is the American standard, not Japanese.) I keep hearing that Dakimakuri sells a really good pillow that is a bit more expensive than the Comodo ones, but I hear it is much better. I heard that from a dakimakuri shill server, but I trust that it's pretty good.

Good luck and godspeed.

Is death and rebirth necessary to watch? I've never seen it.

Eva is so popular that the industry named a medium after one of its characters… BLUE REI.

I'm gonna rewatch the whole series in time for the last rebuild movie.

Can't wait for that winter depression!

Normalfags are psycopaths, they get a thrill out of kicking someone when they're already down, many normalfags post on wizchan now that it is anticrab they think they fit in.

So the wonderful autists at 2ch have been harassing another 3D loli this week. This succubus on YT posts videos of herself pooping and peeing for fun, and of course some pervs stumbled upon it and asked her to do more, which she did. Well concerntrolls of course found the thread and told her they're "going to inform her classmates" and now the succubus wants to shinitai.

>>34667
>This (3d loli) on YT posts videos of herself pooping and peeing for fun
why do succubi do this
>not linking the videos
why do wizards do this

I thought this only happened in doujins. What the fuck
