The fact that one of the biggest open source social media software companies has the most minimal website speak volumes of the unnecessary bloat of modern web design.

Pretty much, yeah. Noscript helps a lot with blocking the 30 other websites connected to most sites now and it helps stuff look more manageable, but perfect was reached back in the 00s. Some Japanese websites never 'advanced' and I'm jealous of them.

Do you remember what was the first VN/eroge you've played? I was trying to find out the names of some of these pixelated PC-98 ones I've played before and one of them was apparently True Love. It seems to have gotten an official TL in 1998 according to vndb. I played it sometime around 2003-2004 I believe. Quite a few ones seem to have gotten official translations back then surprisingly: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/JAST_USA There are probably more that I've had the chance of playing before in there as well. Need to check it thoroughly. Yume Miru Kusuri is in there too and it was also important to me in that it was the first 'real' VN I've played/read in its entirety. I remember finding out about it on /v/ around late 2007.

I can't say for sure. I played a few of them around the same time, but my memory is hazy and they kind of blend together. I did play True Love back then, but it wasn't the first (and that's a dating sim really) but I'm really not sure because it was so long ago and I was so young that I can't remember much. It might have been Nocturnal Illusion, but maybe it wasn't. I remember that it took place in a mansion (I think?) and there was some evil woman with glasses. It's so embedded in my psyche that I hate 2D girls with glasses. Well, I mean I don't HATE them but I can't like them.

It's an eroge though. And the distinction between VN and dating sim is a bit dumb to me anyway. Dating sims are pretty much just VNs with a bit of gameplay, like Rance, Monster Girl Quest and Utawarerumono.

It's not the best film scan, EoE needs a remaster now that Anno has the rights clear and free of Gainax's rotting corpse. But I will say the surround sound mix of EoE is actually amazing, which I never realized until seeing it in a theater.
Misato moaning sex like she's right to my left for 2 minutes was the best.
Asuka's mom slowly becoming more and more audible from the back of the theater sounds like a schizophrenic break.

Do you watch anime movies often? It feels like they are something that goes unnoticed in the West for the most part. Miyazaki won an Oscar with his newest movie but I haven't seen people discussing this movie anywhere. The last two big hits (Kimi no Na wa and Koe no Katachi) were almost 8 years ago by now, so what gives? Why couldn't it gain traction from there?

This. Maybe it will get more traction with mainstream audiences now that it won the best animation oscar.

I think part of the problem may be the same suffered by shows dumped in full on some streaming service, the fact that there's no weekly engagement to keep it on par with all the other stuff coming out during a season.
And uhh no I usually don't watch movies that are coming out and the only ones I ever really hear about are either adaptations, or originals from Shinkai or Ghibli. If there are others coming out, I've zero clue about it.

There's actually a fair bit of movies that come out a season compared to what gets talked about. But from this season I know that prior to it people here were talking about Dededede so that'll probably attract some attention when the first BD release comes out.

qBittorrent since it has everything I need and pretty much every PT whitelists it. If you need some advanced feature(s), chances are there's a way to get qBit to do it even if it's not natively supported.

I was listening to the koukaku no pandora opening https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hWGqagnqHb4 when it dawned on me that the line
"yaiba no kage ni kokoro ga atta yo"
is probably referencing the kanji for shinobu 忍, literally composed of the the characters for a blade "in the shadow" of the character for heart

This is also the heart of the pun in naming Acerola Orion Heart-Under-Blade "shinobu"

unfortunately all english translations of the song had interpreted "atta" as the past tense of "au" rather than "aru", thus shifting the meaning to "hearts meeting"

i checked the the DameDesuYo subs used by DmonHiro/neoHEVC/Nene and their translation surprised me
>This blade lies between your heart and the world
without any context for the show i have no idea how they came to render it like this, because there's no mention of the world in that verse and in this line the blade isn't the subject, it's the heart. not even referring to the blade itself but the shadow of the blade which isn't mentioned for some reason. however, what matters is that it is using existential aru, it's not talking about a meeting. atta is also written in the lyrics purely with kana (刃の影に 心があったよ) and that's the standard for ある. iunno where OP got the meeting part but i can't see the irony either.

 No.121654

>>121651
The translation with "meeting" was this:
https://www.animesonglyrics.com/pandora-in-the-crimson-shell/hopeness
On a second search, I found another translation, but this one instead renders it as "connecting"
https://www.lyrical-nonsense.com/global/lyrics/zaq/hopeness/english/

I can sort of understand "blade between heart and the world" as a more natural rendition, as it does get at the same "concealing the heart with a blade" idea

 No.121656

>>121654
okay that's 合う then, hearts coming together
like take the example of「二つの川がここで合う」, "here two rivers come together/meet." that one does work with rivers being the subject, but you can see the location is marked with で while when this verb uses に it's to mean what kind of thing it's matching and that's not what any of these translations interpret it as
definitely suspicious but i'm hardly capable enough to say for sure

Not even a little. Clarion is a robot who is ordered to be Nene's bodyguard, gets treated like a yuribait best friend, and is tsundere about it. Nene doesn't realize this because she's dumb and just goes around playing with her catmaid friend.

Very nice! One of the modern /qa/ classics if I do say so much. Even if the story becomes dumb if it keeps the fantastic atmosphere it will still be worth a watch. Such a fantastic use of colors and highlights and all that other stylish stuff to make the night look so vibrant.

I wasn't a fan of it panning to other characters like >>121392, but I think that's what people were talking about so... oh well. It will probably still look nice.

The question I have with Bravern after last week's events is now "what are the Deathdrives, exactly?" Because the name seems to me like a clear reference to Freud:
>In classical Freudian psychoanalytic theory, the death drive (German: Todestrieb) is the drive toward death and destruction, often expressed through behaviors such as aggression, repetition compulsion, and self-destructiveness.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Death_drive
It's not exactly the same, but Cupiridas wanted to be given a proper death with a cool explosion, Knuth tells Smith her wish is to "make love" with him while he finds this strange, fulfilled through their deaths, and Superbia begins to meditate about his role on the conflict after seeing his Lulu has changed so much though that may be a different thing. It doesn't seem to me like they simply want to conquer Earth. And seeing as Smithvern managed to travel back in time, maybe the Deathdrives have done the same thing? They appeared from nowhere straight out of a portal.

I don't think so, Bravern's case seemed to be that of a miracle born of Smith and Kunith combining since Kunith had space-time warping powers. I think they are proper inorganic aliens, but lack the proper zeal required to satisfy their lust for battle.

Hmmm, I hadn't realized those powers were specific to her alone. I do still find the towers and such to be somewhat suspicious, although allegedly now that she destroyed the spaceship thing, they won't be able to revive anymore so who knows what they'll do with that now. I suppose it remains to be seen.

I remember people talking about this home theater stuff over the years and I remember terms like Plex, but that's about all I can remember. Storage seems like the most important part, since something that is now significant is owning the media you play as companies continue to clamp down on access.
I think prebuilt stuff has the best deals unless it has changed very recently. You generally do have to switch out power supply, though, since those are almost always the most abysmal things imaginable when they're paired with a computer.

If you told me that Doga Kobo of all studios would be producing the potential AOTD with an opening movie that asserts itself proudly as most likely the best anime movie to come out this year. I'd probably laugh in your face. All the trash they've been throwing out there. The quality void, I didn't think it was possible.

After watching this I'm convinced and refuse to believe there's any reason for this other than they had the A-team hard at work perfecting this very work. Haven't been this excited about an anime for a long time. Being able to tug at my heartstrings and relate to the protagonist not out of some form of "relatable" character points, but instead from sharing the same burning vengeful passion is what I feel really marks a masterpiece in the making.

For how much of a bang the anime started off with, Oshi no Ko really dragged its feet following Ai's death. It took the more romcom/idol route instead of focusing more on Aqua's digging into their father, and I think I would've preferred a more Monster-like story set in the showbiz industry as opposed to what we got. It was still pretty good, but now the dust has settled I don't think it lived up to the hype.
