I would love to watch every single pokemon season out there, every single gundam season, every single precure season, every single Digimon season, every single Detective Conan episode, every single Doraemon episode, every single Kamen Rider season, I am a NEET, so it gives me a sort of "life-fuel" to have such loong shows in my backlog until my parents find me a job or something, i just fear i would eventually get tired/burned out or the quality would become unwatchable for me eventually since i hear some of these are inconsistent, are there any other super long otaku-media projects you are looking for? Manga/VNs/LNs count too, i might also add Horizon in the middle of nowhere if i wanted to stretch to different otaku media.

Talk about Touhou here. I think the OP or something. It's been three months. We've all talked about our favorite characters, so what's your favorite part of the fandom? Do you like the setting the most, the characters the most, the lore the most, the music the most, or, like me, do you just idealize the series like I do?

What are you doing right now to enjoy the series?

I never really got or understood the appeal of Touhou, what is it even all about to begin with?

 No.44482

>>44457
First and foremost, ZUN - the guy behind Touhou Project - is really open to fanart artists, AS OPPOSED TO big corpo companies that would sue you now or sue you later over a piece of fanart being used for commercial puurposes. ZUN is okay with artists making money on fan works as long as the fan artists avoid the confusion with the original works.

ZUN's own games are of a kind hardly anyone makes anymore, too. Think of GRADUS, RAIDEN II or some other top-down shooter where 1 fast plane destroys lots of slow enemy planes and clases with huge flying fortresses as boss fights… but replace the planes with magicians, fairies, yo-kai and alike

Also, the characters were mostly based on traditional Japanese folklore (kitsunes, tengus, rokurokibi)

Also, 99% succibi cast.

Currently, I’ve watched quite a bit of NGE, I’m on episode four. I was wondering if I should finish it, or if it’s just overrated garbage. Please let me know. Thank you.

I genuinely can't believe that eva is now in the fucking criterion collection.

I can't tell if it's a genuine induction or it's just the inertia of current trends. I mean, how are normalfags supposed to be able to relate to Shinji?

 No.44474

>>44455
>>44460
AFAIK, norma-lags who make eva reviews claim they relate to Shinji in terms of feeling lost, in terms of being stuck in the path parents have laid out for their kid.

In this sense, Shinji is ostensibly alright-looking on the outside since he's #1 mecha pilot and the NGE's drama is a trip into the disturbance of a guy who - to his dismay - have to take the path his parents have laid down for him. No matter how cool the path is, Shinji isn't enjoying it.



Oh and speaking of this interpretation as one that ruined eva for me.


"Thanks" to this interpretation, Shinji is the last person I relate to now. My life's drama has been anything but the "laid out path" drama; quite the contrary, I had to go through the pain of pleading my parents to give me such a path only to be greeted with your typical rock-and-roll era boomer "freedom > alle" mad shouting that stuck with me. Fuck it. I literally wanted to be a cog in the machine and now I cannot even become one due to the distortion my parents have successfully programmed into me despite their mutual after-divorce despise

I haven't watched it in years, (possibly decades now), but IIRC isn't Shinji a stand-in for the type of people who were watching it at the time?

Also IIRC there's a lot of fanservice in it, how do normies get past that? Hell, I remember watching that "recent" anime film about the boy who swaps bodies with a succubus and there's the same boob grabbing in it three times, yet the movie was a big hit with the normies.

 No.44481

Just keep watching it for as far as you can stand it. You don't have to finish it if you don't enjoy it anymore.
I say this as one who finished the entire series, the 1997 End of Eva film, and all the Rebuild films.

No, you're kinda right on that. That's a big reason why I can't stand western comics. Fugly shite. But more importantly, Jojo in general is fucking ugly (I assume OP is talking about JoJo).

I just have that color issue with mangas but in comics it looks nice to me, at least from what i've seen. In comics it is more variable, but generally it's fine.

Satou would about 37 if we base it around the time the original Welcome to the NHK book was published. If they made another book or series that revisited his life in the present day what do you think it would be about?

That's a good point. From the Japanese perspective the fact that they're out there contributing is all that matters, regardless of how shit their lives may be.

>the moment the economic incentive disappears you just quit the race without shame.


That's exactly what I've done since I accumulated enough money to do so. Why should I contribute to a society I'll never fit in to and support a system that hates me?

>the moment the economic incentive disappears you just quit the race without shame
It is interesting how, instead of trying to fix the economic incentives to improve participation rates, the powers that be are cracking the whip harder on the ones still in the race. Which just convinces more people to drop out of the race even faster.

Simple! Back in the day, the jobs were more or less similar one to another (for the most of the time).

That's not the case for the third millenia, but it's not like everyone on the globe understands that.

When I watched it for the first time it did not give an "anime for succubi" impression but more like for everyone that like magical succubi so Tokyo Mew Mew is more in the girly side I think, but the last time I have watched Sailor Moon was in the 90's so I might be wrong and when I mentioned it to a classmate he said it was gay and lame, screw him, he was gay and lame=)

Tokyo Mew Mew: the character is a "mew mew", a kitty.
Sailor Moon: a decent stacey succibi representation; probably inspired by spoiled 80s kids of rich Japanese folks.

I've found myself watching, and this thread is as much of a confession as much as anything, kids shows. It started off due to the threads we've had about Cardcaptor Sakura and Doremy, but then I realized after watching them that I was feeling…oddly good and optimistic about the world in general. It's weird, because on the one hand I hate watching this stuff because, well, it's so fucking stupid and vapid, but on the other hand I love watching it because it's so goddam relaxing and healing to the soul. I find myself questioning whether this entertainment is purposefully made this way, to emotionally manipulate individuals past a certain age into a state of depression.

Uhm, thanks for reading my blogpost? Otherwise, I guess share some younger-demographic anime you might be watching?

What the hell kind of entertainment do you suggest we consume instead then with all the stress and pain from existing weighing down on us? If all you see around you is stress, fear and anxiety over merely trying to survive and get by, what's wrong with trying to get away from it at least by watching cheerful slice of life shows? Or, if what you suggest is manning up and rising against by enlightening yourself and investing into "serious" adult media, how do you figure we'd get the strength for that if everything is already so bleak

Eating slices of breakfast while blasting a "slice of life" anime is indeed a way to start your day :)

Azumanga, KOn, something funny like Yanineko if you like smoking already and need some borderline "boomer humor" or smoker neet representation in a cheap slapstick comedy
