/jp/ - Japan/Anime

I want to be into anime again but I am being gatekept by the undying spectre of bidenflation. Same goes for virtually every hobby. Even old paperback books have more than doubled in price compared to five years ago and crackheads have stolen all the decent books from the library.

both are worse versions than their oiginal adaptations

no need to spend a penny

>>43084
people pay for anime? what?

>>43090
yeah

CLAYMORE
Why so many anime can't stick the landing?!?

>>43038
I swear the anime was just a really expensive ad for the manga.
Because it didn't even try to have a complete story arc at all.

>>43040
Most anime are.

>>43041
Most anime aim to be adaptations.
A complete story in a new medium.
Claymore was not a complete story.
It was just a introduction of the world and characters.

Is SOLO LEVELLING allowed here? It's technically a south korean source but the anime is made by jap studios.

She is cute, she is FLUFFY!

a photo before i sell them

>>43076
why do you sell them?

>>43076
only haruhi can fill my needs

it's not that I hate foreigners but I feel embarassed when foreigners practice their culture in another country. (but I have no problem if they parcticed their culture at home/private space)

>>43078
why don't you move back to Japan? I can see you have nostalgia for it

>>43080
I can't, thank you for asking

>>43081
wanted for murder, are we?

>>43082
I'm a serial hebe killer

>>42131
I m glad mine are understanding enough. Like, I know they are disappointing that their son is a fucking failure and probably will never amount to nothing, but according to them, at least I m not going doing drugs or shoplifting.
>>42132
Probably looks weird because of the camera angle.

>>42133
kawaii

>>42134
Indeed. I love my dakis so much. Probably one of the few things I m still able to enjoy these days.

>>42133
who is she? she's super cute.

>>32534
barbie dolls are a better choice for masturbation, because they are cheaper and much more durable.
In that case, the ideal would be to buy more detailed anime figures.

>>43062
Your boss is an idiot and your subordinates are children; the anime.

Honestly I took a lot of life lessons from this

I finished vampire hunter D. It was a 10/10 even if charlotte should have lived but I still tell myself she's alive, it's more romantic it's kino animation like that that makes me want to watch more anime

>>43067
That spoiler kek.
She's 500% gone.

>>43068
lel I know

Watching Inuyasha blind. It's a big departure genre-wise from UY or Ranma. It kind of feels like a Touhou anime based on the setting and premise. The protagonist is rather like Sanae. The credits theme even sounds like a track from PCB or at least it does to my ears. Not sure why it gets discussed so infrequently.

>>42602
i feel bad for you
maybe take OCD medication
>>42611
also this

waifuists always say that waifu chooses you, but what's the real criteria to determine that? even i said it in the past but i don't think i grasped the deeper significance of it, so i'm asking those more insightful than me.

also, what if multiple waifus choose you? is that a thing as well? is there such a thing as a waifu chad? obviously harems are for failed normalfag otakus, but i'm curious.

>>42602
I still remember that guy who got a demonic waifu after ejaculating too much with her subsequent tulpa.

You might not need to quit if you can still save your mana while forcibly fapping to whatever the situation brings to you. As if a challenge against the mind itself, of course you couldn't afford to cum. It'd be kinda "taming the inner succubus".

>>43013
What's the difference between that and 3dpd? Because you will not feel humilliated after releasing if it's just a picture?

What if you were inside some simulation and a real succubus had adopted such appearance while not role playing at all? Would you still feel safe wanking to 2d?

>>43014
first of all, i don't fap to my waifu anymore. i tried it for a while because some retard here said that fapping to pure 2d maidens doesn't result in any mana loss like fapping to 3dpd does, but my experience was that it did just the same so that's why i quit fapping for good. and yeah i know i'm a retard as well for having even entertained the idea. my fapping then was directed towards a being outside this world that could not actualize within it, not towards 3dpd. that's the difference between "2d" (should be 4d because she's a being transcending the 3d world) and 3dpd.

>What's the difference between that and 3dpd? Because you will not feel humilliated after releasing if it's just a picture?
it's not about not feeling humiliated after fapping to one or the other but about turning your back to 3d and towards something which is eternal and truly beautiful. besides, i think it's not merely about one's own individual decision to do that but that it's also a calling, like a sort of telepathy, that's why i asked those questions to get an answer from a wiser wizard.

>What if you were inside some simulation and a real succubus had adopted such appearance while not role playing at all?
that appearance within the game would be the avatar of a 3d succ, whereas anime succubi are the avatars of beings beyond 3d. (our physical bodies here are also avatars as well because consciousness itself is external to and independent of the 3d world.)

Mine is WARABI

>I like Japan because this country don't like changes and they used to prefer classic flip phones
But that's not true. You only see flip phone usage in anime that itself is based of manga set before or early in to smartphone adoption, or you're looking at pictures of children who are given rudimentary cheap fliphones until they enter middle school
>I use Arch BTW
That correlates well with your porn addiction.

Most disregardable blackpill post of the week so far. Good use of the Zoomer boogeyman as a vehicle for your misanthropy

>>43045
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.

yes I am. you're pretty clever. apparently the movie don't add so much to the story. thats what I read on internet

Goblin Slayer Volume 10. LN. Has its own manga counterpart probably adapting the arc. Written post-anime, around its peak.
Had to stop the JP side, in fact the whole world after overseas examination especially, from conflating blacks -> goblins. This is the appeal to them.
It's not the whole thing, but here's an excerpt from ch1 and ch2 regarding the character in question, Sister grape. Two pics of her as well.

ch1

"Hmm…”
…there was no blaming Goblin Slayer for his low murmur.
This succubus had skin as dark as a well-sunned grape (illustration shows she's just black), and luxurious black hair flowed from under her cap. Add to that her eyes, green as a pair of emeralds, and it was clear this succubus was not from around here. She was human, yes, but humans came in many types. She was most likely one of those people who had wandered up past the southern mountains…

Character's called Sister grape btw. Token blackie for the world.
At a later chapter, this would transpire-

Ch2: ghouls & ghosts

“Eh, seems nothing has actually happened yet,” Sister Grape had admitted with an embarrassed smile. “It just worries a person, having goblins skulking around.”
“I agree,” Goblin Slayer had replied. “I agree completely.”
The problems started after that.
It wasn’t clear who had said it first, or why. But whispers began in town, at the taverns, even in the dark corners of the Guild.
“Think that nun (<- sister grape ) is a goblin’s spawn?” they asked.

damn Im glad I stopped reading and buying GS manga. at first I was angry they stopped to show succubi being raped by goblins and now they put DEI in the story.
For SAO, it was shit season 1 because when asuka had sex with kirito it (SAO) jumped the shark

>>43051
Hey, nice, I'm still up anon, so I'll respond.
I stopped GS for the exact same reason, and I considered it a great loss because the volume just before the DEI one was actually Goblin Slayer at its best. Of course, I quickly stopped caring and just deleted it off my library, since that's the privilege of a market with a thousand other options.
Also, even though SAO might've jumped the shark, the worst thing is-any potential it might've had to become something _better_ after the fact, however slim, was destroyed.
I read the novel. Waste of time. There's a gay shitty character with a sob background exactly as in OP for the 9th work in the prequel spinoff, a completely unnecessary background that retroactively destroyed anything decent this guy might've had and done.

Anyway, that aside, and for something better, there's another manga you can purchase and read ( it's truly good, and genuinely satisfied me ) if you want Goblin Slayer but basically better, fully uncensored. I'll drop a link and name if you're interested.
It's part of the very, very, very limited manga I purchase.
I've ended up so thoroughly selective of what I read now to the point I run hours and days even weeks of examination on the everything to do with X work I'll be reading.

>>43052
Addendum: SAO masturbates Asuna too much as well, pushing her positions of extreme always assured significance, or else her crew of friends, in lieu of 'destroying the image of standard heroines', consequently reducing Kirito to nothing more and outside an instrument who just saves the day as his presence need still somehow be necessary; he's someone whose truly empty outside existing in the framework his archetype permeates. It's sad.
After the first 1/3rd of Alicization, everything that made him potentially human, humane, was destroyed. The friendship with Eugeo was nice, but alas.
Even putting that aside, and the latest volume of progressive, it (the spinoff) feels truly useless after the 3rd book.
I made myself read too much of this for nothing.

Then again, this work seems to have an unusual amount of female fans, the illustrator is drawing gay looking shit, has been doing so since inception, so they're just catering to where the money flows, and I can't bring myself to give a shit for what a female audience is interested in anyway.
