The scorching heat of summer has arrived and it's time for a new round of shows to distract us from our bodies melting!

What are you going to watch?
Will Oshi no Ko give Kana official main character status as she deserves? Is the time of /qa/ belly anime finally here? Will the fansubs of Dedede save us from mediocrity?

What's with the recent influx of shows using these anime-character-on-real-background OPEDs? I can't help but associate the style with 2000s DeviantArt teens, so it feels strange to me that we've had four or five of them in the last couple seasons.

Do you like the style or does it feel as out of place as the aforementioned internet posts always did?

you could say it was an eyesore

for me, it doesn't really bother me, you can find the same style of "real but with an amine" from jap artists or even russians i came across a thread once, and something like the makeine ed with its godly beginning and then quickened choppitty choppitty footage, they're heavily stylizing the 3d itself rather than just putting stuff on top of it and i think it they pulled it off quite well

Every time I see an artist that draws Blue Archive it's always lolis. Is the game just that chock full of them that it's all there is to draw? It really tempts me to try it out, but my distaste for gacha is still stronger. Only by a little bit...

The point was that people aren't playing the game to experience the vision of any one staff member, there's no message that will be diluted from replacing them. You can hire new people to draw the girls or write the songs and as long as they're sexy and catchy it won't matter that they're not the same guys because there's no ethos to the work.

No, it's not April 1st. Could this all be because of the social media response to that Japanese ad? It is pretty funny since 'WcDonald's' is indeed something that pops up now and then in anime and manga. If they did this 20-30 years ago it would have been witty and kind of cool, but it feels kind of late now.
The style here is very 90s Western anime imitation, especially the Miku. You need to download the usual spyware app to see the comics, so screw that.

people think that touhou is a doujin product but it's more like a franchise that lost it's intelectual property rights nowadays

 No.132964

>>132953
Yeah. The "doujin spirit" is still there somewhat in Japan since the physical cons and events there are still popular, but online it's a FFA. As long as you don't break the rules on fan creation (which really only applies to charging money on it) you're good to do whatever with those characters and setting. Making a Touhou mod of X isn't going to make ZUN or his faggy lawyer hunt you down, unlike say Nintendo, Capcom, or Games Workshop. But this is for small time creators, they have different rules for corporations which I imagine they still have to go through the hoops for permissions. I doubt McDonalds can slap Doll Judgement in an ad and not at least pay lip service to ZUN.

I don't think so, it's altered too much from the original.

>>132953
Zun never sold the IP... He still owns it.

>>132964
Copyright is an incredibly complex topic. Zun has always come down on people trying to make and sell Touhou fan games but making a fangame of a franchise is legal so long as it's not made for commercial gains. That's the same thing with mods, though mods can still be illegal but that's due to terms of service and not copyright(some games put restrictions against mods in their terms of service).

The way Touhou is managed is not actually that different to any other franchise.

what OP/EDs do you like? I was thinking about the popularity of LycoReco when it came out and how nice it'd be to see more anime inspired by gunslinger girl since that was one hell of a boson anime. the OP for it being one of my favorites and having that early 2000s english indie song for its op. also do you remember that in the same season lycoreco aired there was another original anime "engage kiss" that failed miserably and was just a soulless gacha cashgrab checking boxes to try and hook a playerbase, lycoreco had no tie-in and was the biggest anime besides bocchi so goes to show how far creating something good takes you compared to trying to cash out on the trendy market researched ideal money printer

Played DD2. Some fps issues in the main city, and at infrequent moments out in the world, but aside from that was at a frequent 60+ with RTX on. From what I can see the whole "Mostly Negative" thing on steam is from people getting outraged over mtx that are basically the same thing that Capcom's done in all their other games and people that have more major performance issues. Aside from that I've been having a lot of fun, the game's good. Opening isn't as bombastic as the first though so some people may take issue with that, and there's a bit of minor nitpicks that people may have, but on the whole it's still the same good DD gameplay that people know and love. Supposedly with a much longer story and bigger map if leaks are to be believed.

I made a Fern pawn as you can't make loli ones anymore so Schierke wasn't possible. She got a fair bit of usage so far.

I meant that they are Westernizing their games and removing any Japanese elements to pander to the West. This was pretty evident since DmC. DMC5 was a good game in comparison, so they 'kinda' learned from that mistake, but it was still undeniably Westernized.

These days the potential for non-AAA games is much higher than AAA, so someone leaving a company can be a boon to future games. AA should probably be the standard when it comes to big releases, with "indies" serving as the vanguard for niche stuff that can explore more options.

So the DDDDD thread made me realize that kissu doesn't really have any threads dedicated to manga that I could find. The focus seems to be too much on seasonal anime. I realize that this is because manga is much harder to find/follow than seasonal stuff as there are no clear guidelines for it and Westerners don't read comics nearly as much as the Japanese do.

Anyway, what manga have you been reading recently? I just read the latest chapter of Shimeji Simulation a few days ago. As with anything made by Tsukumizu so far it is great. Definitely recommend it to everyone here and I do hope it eventually gets an anime adaption as well like SSR.
