Man, early 2000s anime were still cool. Why is every modern thing so shit

yada is cool

>>32008
That may be because they wanted to give more attention to the class that had doremi and momoko.
>>32009
Modern anime only wants to take money from its audience and nothing else and nobody cares about the people who want to tell a good story.

>>32013
Yeah infest that way too, honestly at some parts of the series Doremi, Momoko and Hana were sort of like team A and Onpu, Aiko and Hazuki kind of felt like team B at times.

I wish Ojamajo had gotten a proper video game adaptation, I've seen some footage from those awful PlayStation One games, and oh God do they look bad.

The dic dubbed soundtrack is so god tier.

I miss when Sakura and Syaoran were both a lot more spunky.

I thought Clear Card was terrible, such a boring, underwhelming waste of time.

I liked the show, but I always felt drained after one or two episodes. Don't know if I'd ever watch the whole thing again, maybe I'll wait a few years since its still fresh in my mind.

Thought I'd get myself a life size anime figure to help stymie the intense loneliness I've been feeling lately, since I thought it might be within my price range. Turns out a decent one costs like $6000 minimum. Damn it. I'd even be willing to pay a little over a $1000 for one, since I have that much lying around, but $6000 is just way too much for me. I wouldn't even care if it looked like my waifu or not, although that'd obviously be the ideal. I'll admit that I didn't really look all that hard though, so maybe there's something more affordable out there that isn't nightmare fuel.

Maybe a high quality standee would do instead. Sex dolls are more cost effective, but look creepy as hell. A waifu-centric sheet for my body pillow just wouldn't do anything for me, I'm afraid, despite that being the most popular option for a lot of people.

There's also something called paper craft which I saw while looking through various options out there, but it looks like the sort of thing you have to pretty much create yourself and I'm far too hamfisted to do something like that.

I just want something I can hug that actually has a human form and that isn't just a pillow, while also not looking like something ripped right out of the uncanny valley. I'd really just be so happy just simply sleeping next to it in my bed. I feel like I'm going crazy here. I just need something in this room with me. Something I can pretend loves me and wants to be with me. All I've been doing the last little while is just crying softly to myself, at various spontaneous intervals, out of a sheer, crushing sense of loneliness. I'm fine with a self-imagined facsimile of love, since I'm a completely autistic invalid whom most people would run away screaming from if they ever knew me. I can't wrap my head around actual relationships. I never have and I never will. Something like this, is the best I'll ever be able to do and is really the best possible option for me & everyone else.

More than anything else, perhaps a VR headset would do just as well. Although, I can easily imagine myself crying if I ever booted up something more intimate or wholesome to simulate a sense of affection. That's just how pathetic I am, it seems.

Can't a poor, lonely hermit, have at least this? Is it really so much to ask, or will it forever remain in the realm of rich collectors and other such well off individuals? The reason they're so expensive is probably becPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

You can just get a nice teddy bear for $25 or so. You can even get something larger for probably less than $200, like related?

It's a lifeless hunk of matter no matter how realistic it may be anyway. Once you "imprint" onto it the form doesn't really matter to much and it becomes quite human and comforting to hold; you are essentially just creating a tulpa upon a physical avatar.

>>32023

Nah, that shit wouldn't work for me. Call me an unwizardly, unimaginative pervert I guess, but I'd need something that actually looks like a beautiful 2D succubus made as pleasingly close to 3D as possible for it to actually make a difference for me. Lifeless, hunks of inanimate matter or not, I want something that I can basically pretend is my waifu made manifest and that we're finally living together and that she loves me more than anything and will stay with me no matter what.

Having said that, I'd honestly pay $2500 as soon as tomorrow if it meant I could get a hold of that Rei figurine in the 2nd pic of my original post. I'm pretty sure I'd just spend most of my time gently hugging it, in between simply weeping at its feet out of sheer joy/relief that it'll now always be here to keep me company and I won't have to feel so alone anymore. I can even imagine how'd she start to speak to me inside my head and how we'd be able to make each other laugh or just talk the night away about this & that. She'd be a real person to me and I'd never be able to suspend my disbelief in even close to the same way if it were just some overstuffed teddy bear or what have you. My potential ability to construct a "tulpa" is pretty much entirely dependent on having a proper external form I can imprint on. Nothing less will do, which is exactly why there's no hope for me. If I lived in the US, I'd just as well buy myself a shotgun to gently caress at night, at least until the point comes where I'd finally use it to blow my own brains out. On that note, I really regret the fact that it's so difficult to get a gun anywhere else in the first world. It's really frustrating for someone like me who wants something instant (this being the most key aspect, since nothing other than a gun is truly instant) & almost next to painless for a suicide method, let me tell you.

>Do you ever watch shitty/obscure/forgotten anime just for the hell of it?
That describes a 1/3 of what I watch.
The other 1/3 is random well known stuff that took me forever to get around to. And the last 1/3 is stuff actually made in the last couple years.

Most comedy anime/manga tends to fall into a rut real quick, especially when they let it run for as long as Ranma did

Is Creamy Mami any good?

>>31992
It's good in short doses. Maybe 2-3 episodes a day.

watching fancy lala, it's quite good. there's an inviting warmness you wouldn't expect from a mahou shoujo

It's Halloween now

Why is Futo such a dork?

I wonder where all the 8chan /2hu/ fags went. Did they all go back to 4/jp/?

>>31846
alot of them probably did, but i came here instead since 4gag is an unbearable cycle of low effort shitposting and i prefer actual discussion

>>26874
I'm going through the series in normal, getting all the bad endings first before I come back to actually complete them(good endings and extra stages).
I was having no issue but 10 is kicking my ass and I have no idea how I'll manage to beat it without continuing.

>>31986
For me, it felt like the creators were too focused on making the show seem western that ruined it. It was like when they try to imitate Americans in anime and they act like this overly-stereotypical view that Japanese have of westerners but instead of doing this for comedic effect as would normally be the case, the creators of BL actually thought this would come off as cool. Instead, it just came off as edgy and ridiculous of course.
I never understood where all the praise comes from for that show, there's lots of other anime that emulate a western style but actually make it work, like Cowboy Bebop or Gunsmith Cats.

That reminds me of another western-styled anime that everyone seems to love except for me: Trigun. I detested that show, because of its annoying characters and because its mood-swings from comedic to serious felt completely tone-deaf.

JoJo: Stardust Crusaders
it turned into total shit.

Madoka Magica. Extremely overrated.

>>31989
JoJo is very cringeworthy in general

Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V. Series started out pretty great, characters started out good, the different dimensions plot line was interesting. The series even had the balls to have a wizardly rival who is better than the main protagonist in pretty much every way.

Then the fucking director had to wank his 5Ds boner all over the series resulting in original characters getting shafted for BUY BLACKWINGS: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO, An arc that would fucking put NAMEK to shame in terms of relative length, and to make it fucking worse it was a god damn tournament arc,AFTER we already had on. Like what the shit?

Synchro completely ruined every character and completely flanderized them. For the first time in YGO history the female lead wasn't useless and actually contributed to the plot significantly, only to be turned into a damsel in distress and then finally a living macguffin, The best friend character does nothing but talk about the MC even in situations where the MC isn't relevant, the edgelord becomes nothing more but a meme machine at this point

The other two arcs got fucking rushed. Kite was just there, Aster didn't do shit, Alexis got fodderized by best character Yuri and was then turned into the MC's dad's walking stick. The mystery behind MC's dad's disappearance doesn't amount to shit besides backstory for the villain

The villain's plan is fucking retarded and makes no sense in retrospect, even worse when you realise that his plan would also risk fucking the world(s) again by making it possible for Card Game Satan to reform and he took absolutely no precautions to prevent this from happening despite experiencing first hand just how fucked the world(s) would be, even making one of the living catalysts for Satan one of his top agents.

Card Game Satan was a waste of time and could have easily been prevented had all the characters who were aware of him were not retarded. The duels against him are also shit because he does nothing but sit on his big invincible beatstick and his evil dank version of whatever summoning mechanic his opponents try and use against him. Rival gets some shit to actually happen only for the day to be saved by literal DEUS EX MACHINA.

Shit STILL doesn't end and we have a few more things to go through before it finally fucking ends. MC duels a bunch of characters who try and get the MC to have fun again so that he can make a fucking baby smile. AND THEN IT ENDS.

Gotta agree here, I went on YouTube and watched some "best of" videos for Ghost Stories, and it just feels like corny early 2000s humor that just isn't funny in this day of age.

I felt that way with Pop Team Epic as well, the four panels are a bit funny, but that doesn't mean I would want to watch an entire series about it. I'm pretty sure that show flopped too.

Watched it in my teens and also read the manga. Very cool and liked it a lot but imo it should've ended after the martial arts tournament. The following arcs, specially the final one, were pretty disappointing and forced imo

>>31902
>it just feels like corny early 2000s humor
cause it is literally that.

From Lupin III: Legend of the Gold of Babylon.

From Kill Me Baby

ojamajo doremi dokkan

>>31884
It had a busty ghost witch mommy and a happy sukumizu imouto. Everything the body needs.

>>31885
Lana/Suiren is so lovely

>>31890
Yeah, her and Mallow both won people over very quickly.

That looks like German TV.
I would kill for a TV program like back then. With the whole marketing style behind it, it was perfect brainwashing and I'm still feeling love for that, call me stupid.
They had heartfelt professional dubbing and localized German theme songs who stand the test of time.

Now the same TV channel broadcasts scripted reality bullshit where people insult each other.

I stopped watching pokemon like in early 2001. I barely remember the orange islands arc and the league, last things I watched

>>31816
i can no longer watch this without wanting to blow my brains out just from from the horrors that normalfags created out of this. they ruin everything good.

>>31840
I still like this. Though it's one of the few chika dances I ever saw before the meme died in a month like all the other normgroid memes.

>>31845
>>31845
Ristarte Dance ~ Shinchou Yuusha Ending ~ tries but it's only half as good as the Chika dance.

>>31871
that 3d model dancing is so stiff. "Tit for Tat" OP is way better.

Can't find a separate video for it but I really like the song at 19:25 (couloir des vanites). 17:32 and 20:58 are both good as well. Most of the songs are actually, although I feel like reading the VN makes them even better because of how well they fit with it.
