I do think in general, nerds of any type overrate metanarrative heavy pieces. Monogatari getting adapted at the end of the 00's was really very deliberately of its time and I think as its become an increasingly anachronistic piece, the western fandom has frittered away.

One of my favorite shows is getting a sequel soon. I really like this series and think a lot of people passed over it because it was said to be a Madoka rip-off when the anime came out. I've been reading the LNs and they're really good. I think they'd be a perfect series for someone learning kana.

The new season of the anime should be really good because it will cover what is arguably the best two LNs in the series. The only downside is it'll probably be 12 episodes instead of 24. It's a lot of content to cover in 12 episodes. The first season felt really fast paced because of that. I don't want to spoil anything but suffice to say characters are introduced quickly and certain events happen too fast.

Anyone else a fan of Raising Project? I don't understand why this series isn't more popular. It feels like only a few people have seen it. I am hopeful season 2 will do good in the ratings and maybe we'll get some OVAs or something. A proper video game based on this series would be really fun.

They're not really connected. Battle harems were the previous braindead LN template that got adapted way too often. The edgy mahou shoujo trend just fell off over time as Madoka became a distant memory and the genre slowly reverted back to light-hearted stuff like Twin Angel and Ore.

As much as I'm enjoying Apocalypse Hotel, I'm not thrilled about how the overall tone has shifted. The first couple episodes had a strong feeling of melancholy as the leftovers slowly declined, but the tanuki sticking around have turned it into a goofy comedy. The last episode in particular seemed to invalidate the passage of time element and basically took away the sense that the robots would eventually end up a state of disrepair. The sense of loneliness and isolation is also gone now that there are always guests to tend to and people to talk with instead of just repeating an endless routine with a bunch of beepboopbots. I really think keeping the shitters around this long was a mistake, it's probably impossible to get back what the first couple episodes had at this point.

The tonal changes are definitely... Interesting. At first I was expecting something like Planetarian: a steadily falling apart Hotel being slowly worked back to functionality, or something like that. Maybe exploration for parts to keep the hotel running? But then with the first alien it kind of seems like it might go in a Kekkai Sensen or Space Dandy direction with a constant clash of unique aliens coming and going. And now the Tanukis have settled in.

Anyway, on slightly more serious note, i still enjoy it and feel like every episode has clear focus on something they want to convey, but i can agree that it has changed it's overall tone a bit.
It kind of feels a bit like they've mixed two different plot ideas in one. Robots taking care of a hotel, while lost in unknowns trying to figure out how to go on, it veins of Girls last tour. And a whimsical family of alien tanukis, crash landing on a long deserted Earth and comically trying to adapt to the unknown world they've found themselves in, with the various leftover from the humans.
I kind of like the fun clash it gives, but i wouldn't mind more slower episodes focusing on just the robots again.

EU V has been officially announced. It wasn't really a secret since they've been openly releasing dev diaries for what could only be a new EU for some time, but now it's out there and a few good boy streamers have gotten to make carefully curated videos of the early alpha gameplay.

I'm a bit conflicted about it. On the one hand it does seem like they're fixing fundamental issues with IV with things like pops and better trade, but on the other it looks like they've taken cues from CK3 and Vicky 3 with the UI and warfare. It also stands to be seen how much content they're going to lock off to fund the next 15 years of DLC.

File:[SubsPlease] Kowloon Gener….jpg (258.67 KB,1920x1080)

 No.6076[Reply]

With each episode of Kowloon I'm more and more convinced that they're in a simulation of sorts created by that object in the sky. I don't know what happened to Kowloon, if the memory preservation device has just let them demolish the actual town or if there was an accident in the real world that caused a rush to it. But I think if there was some accident it may be why Kudou blames himself for Reiko's death. Otherwise my theory is that Kudou with Hebinuma and Gwen have some sort of administrator role in the simulation that resulted in Kudou doing something to Reiko's memory/past.

Aside from just theorizing, it does let me ponder the theme of identity that seems to be prevalent in each character, especially when it comes to the supposed copies. I'm still a bit confused by them so I think I'll read the manga to get a grasp on that part better. Like is Yaomei the real or the copy? Kujirai in particular constantly trying to measure herself up against the past Reiko she doesn't know is an interesting struggle. I don't think Kudou will ever be able to come along to her though, since Reiko seems so ingrained in his memory and he carries such grief and regret over her loss that any love or affection towards Kujirai just creates causes him to remember her.

I think this guy is probably the big "bad" guy, even if not on purpose. Maybe co-bad guy? Seemed like it was the case since, uhh.. episode 3 or something when he casually mentioned rebuilding the city or whatever it was. He's mentioned that he "killed" the main girl, but it doesn't seem like something he did directly so I'm thinking he feels remorse over his role in this Kowloon memory/parallel reality thing. Maybe he rebuilt something incorrectly causing people to die or get their existence wiped out or something?
I'm thinking the setting is Kowloon City for a specific reason. I mean, it's a cool thing that happened in real life, but it was torn down like 30 years ago. Also everyone looks like a retro-ish anime character which is surely on purpose. Lots of people called that place their home and they were very protective and proud of that bizarre slice of organized chaos. There's the strong general theme of wanting to live in the past and hide from the current reality.
Also lots of gay stuff. I'm not sure what that symbolizes.

The main idea of Kowloon Generic Romance is nostalgia. It's about love for a place that no longer exists and how fond memory can distort the reality of it all. Have you never sat and wondered why this Kowloon City is a such a gentle and kind place? All unlike the grueling reality it was.
Kowloon City itself is a sort of mythical, magical place, in that it very much has a lot of nostalgia and strong emotions attached to it, even by people who have never been and only know from photos, such as the ones published in City of Darkness.

There is no other place quite like it, because everywhere else still exists, different, but still there. This change is also something that Kowloon Generic Romance highlights early on, as the once lawless Kowloon City is transformed into a theme park attraction of sorts.

I am very excited for the second season of Bisque Doll. Not only was the first one great with fanservice, and well animated too, but the chemistry Gojo and Marine had together was wonderful. Definitely a far cry from other "loser otaku with popular gf" anime, Gojo was much more of a reserved MC that can be reliable and more perceptive of Marine than the normal lead is. And Marine was a ball of life that radiated cuteness and sexiness in all of her cosplays. It was nice to watch them grow closer and bond over a somewhat shared passion and each being able to support the other. I hope there's a realization of the tension in this season unlike with the Succubus scene...

It was a decent enough show. The animation was very high quality at times, although the female-oriented parts like Gojo's torso-eclipsing hands were a bit silly to me as a male. Mixed appeal, I guess. This show will always be paired with Akebi in my mind since they were competing for kissu's attention.

I don't expect it. Even if the deck certification claims that text is readable, Fallout 4 getting it was proof that it can be trusted as much as the Nintendo Seal Of Quality.

They're actually busy getting spammed by shills and trolls making unfavorable comparisons between OG Oblivion and Skyrim.

This season is so amazing that even the "generic" quasi-harem show Yami Healer with the super chuuni magical doctor is top notch. I don't know how it can be so good. It's unfortunate that the first episode did quite a poor job of selling it, but I'm so glad I decided to marathon episodes 2-5 yesterday.
It's all so cliche and yet it's executed so well with the cute girls being cute and the chuuni moments being stupidly satisfying.

I used to love these threads on 4/a/. Pitch your own anime and judge other people's ideas. I will start:
¥Slice of life, CGDCT set in pre-colonial North America
¥Focus on a group of 4 native american girls, 12 year old or younger, living a tribal life
¥The anime would be a comedy with some ecchi elements but also comfy
¥Episodes revolve around stuff like hunting, fishing, cooking, going on adventures, etc
¥The girls would be half naked all the time

I'd watch that even just for this, independent and sustainable "living with nature" videos are pretty popular on youtube, I've watched some. The cute girls are a plus of course, I haven't seen many cute native american girls in anime, so that's a neat novelty factor too.
>The girls would be half naked all the time
I usually avoid ecchi, but if it feels like that part of the setting isn't forced, I'd still watch it, especially if it's comfy
>>5986

I'd be curious about the logistics of it and consider watching it for the serious parts, but I'd reckon it'd be full of gratuitous violence and I personally don't vibe with that... There's definitely an audience for it though, even if it doesn't include me lol.

>cool military mecha battles with mainly minor injuries allowing for a more lighthearted tone
>yuribait
I'd love this and definitely watch, I love cool mecha designs, yuri and suspense that doesn't rely on bloodbaths but just epic battle strategies with well designed equipment
>MC being a crossdressing boy
I wish the politics of "oh no, men are invading women's spaces in competitive sports" didn't exist so I could just wholly enjoy this premise as the standalone fun it should be. There could be a lore reason for why this specific MC boy needs to crossdress for it. Maybe something like, mechas are somehow marketed as a girl's thing because all the boys use enhanced body armour or some other tech instead and think clunky mechas are beneath them and MC's family would disapprove if they knew he steered a mecha but he wants everyone to see and recognise the potential in mechas and the girls he meets want that too so even as they fight in battles they also fight to accomplish that goal and kinda work together for it too. Maybe, idk. But even without good justifications, I'd still check it out.
