They're called headmates, you bigot.

More seriously, do you think it would kill each different personality until the guy was sane?

I mean that seems like an entertaining premise where a protagonists is literally insane due to some bullshit trauma and hunting a supernatural killer. Have the protagonists mind be a group therapy session and slowly as he fucks up the chairs become empty, but he's more levelheaded because the trauma he's clinging onto is purged from his conscious and subconscious mind. We might have a shitty pulp comic on our hands.

Superfluous conflict would be his imaginary friend personality that was created when the main character was abused being afraid of dying, but ultimately fulfilling it's role by giving it's identity in order to protect the protagonist, you'd probably have to make it some kinda superhero or cowboy kinda guy to really manipulate peoples emotions because of how pathetic the protagonist would have to be. Issue is do you want to go the route of the cops being oblivious to the supernatural or some gay secret society bullshit or just the fact that magic is more or less a lost art that the authorities are aware of, but it's ultimately less useful than a gun.

EDIT: You could probably play that each personality was created to cope with something. Superhero/ Cowboy was to escape early childhood trauma, Thugish guy for prison, servile asskisser for keeping a job after getting out of prison. You'd be basically be copying shit like Split, Death Note, Jekyl/Hyde, and other bullshit. If I was good at writing dialogue I'd probably do this in my spare time between looking for a 2nd job.

I'm finally checking out Kemono Friends since I was wanting to watch something easy with janky animation. I missed out on when it was wildly popular but I'm surprised at just how interested I am in the story like what happened to humans, why the park is abandoned, etc. And I'm a sucker for anime series that are educational while using cute waifus as a tool to teach otakus shit (One of the reasons I also like that Dumbbell anime)

My god is this nigger so fucking insufferable. I watched the whole fucking thing. 20 mins of monkey noises.

Hes not just a nigger but also a faggot. Like any guy who complains about fan service (hot women) in an anime is just a fucking gayass homosexual. Like, you have to be a penis lover to complain about boobs in anime. Having girls in anime is a good thing, Its one of the main reasons why I love Fire Force. He is the definition of an SJW snowflake who has "they/them" pronouns. His OC is a furfag anime nigger cat. And like any anime leftist, he complains about K-ON fans being racist. Who gives a shit if someones racist? Maybe dont act like a fucking monkey and no one will call you a vine swinger.

And his comments are so cringe, they keep using the word "cishet" what the fuck is that? Something to do with cisgender??? You mean normal??? U retards???

Im done with my rant, gonna watch Thomas Sowell (a smart nigga) videos to raise my IQ after watching that braindead spook's video.
 
Why are they playing up Garou like he's an actual threat? The webcomic literally plays him more like an immature idiot who endangers heroes with his bullshit. The whole point is that Saitama humors him because he reads Garou the second he arrives. Garou never actually takes anyone out except Darkshine and various wounded heroes because he's an autist. It's why Saitama telling him that he's a failure works.

Apparently Murata misspoke and was referring only to the current arc of One Punch Man when he said the series was ending soon. Guess they're going to find a way to bring Genos back. Presumably Saitama is holding on to his core for more than just pathological reasons. I can only assume he'll find some absurd way for Garou to have knowingly not finished him off by virtue of him leaving the core intact. We getting GITS Genos now lads

In-universe he goes to great lengths to make it look like he's trying to murder heroes. Could be that Murata is trying to sell that to the audience by making it much less obvious at the time that he's pulling his punches. It seems like he might be trying to escalate the action exponentially whilst still hitting the same story beats sooner or later. Then again maybe neither he nor One actually have a plan. They certainly could just be winging it at this point.

I think it's entirely possible that Kazuki Takahashi could've had his issues with edits and rewrites in the 4Kids localization but still appreciated the performances of the English-language actors, who usually aren't the ones writing the scripts.
Click to expand...
My man, according to Stuart, Takahashi didn't say he liked Stuart's performance or his performance out of all the dub cast, he said he's his favorite kaiba out of everyone. You somehow think it's more believable that Takahashi watched enough of a dub for a language that he doesn't speak to form this pragmatic position on Stuart's performance and 4kids censorship. When it's far more likely that Takahashi hasn't seen even a minute of the dub and Stuart is making shit up.

I don't have anything personally against Stuart, but I did sit in on a con panel he hosted once. Dude does have a big ego. For sure. He was talking about how he was so great at impressions and could do some other actors' voices "even better than they could." With a completely straight face. I would not put it past him to bullshit some stuff.
 
Like if I'm giving Stuart the biggest benefit of the doubt, I'm sure they met at an event and Takahashi complimented him on his voice acting. That's completely believable.

But, no, Stuart's version was said to be the absolute best one. This is up there with Vic Mignogna saying Clamp telling him some couple in tsubasa was totally straight you guys or that Ghost Stories was so terrible the Japanese begged the faggots at adv to do a parody dub. I know it's an embellishment but Jesus Christ.

Meanwhile Japanese Kaiba only posted this.

No one is going to ever be a threat because Saitama is right there. Dude is literally tearing up a moon and kicking a guy who’s current fueled by a literal god one-handed. He’s still not going all out. He both kicked and grabbed a gravitational warp panel like it was nothing.

Like if Garou was meant to be seen as super evil and a massive threat, he wouldn’t have tossed Genos’s core to Saitama, he would have just crushed it in his hand. He wouldn’t have tried to get Saitama to work together to get off the moon, he would just keep fighting. They’re just playing up the “I need to be the biggest and baddest thing on earth to actually be seen as a threat, or my plan to unit the world won’t work, because there’s someone who can beat me.” mindset Garou has.

What is it about anime that attracts gay, woke snowflakes like this loser?

Since the early 2000s Anime is/was still a lot easier to pirate then western movies and tv shows and used to be at such a low bar that any retard with a computer could find them
Looking back I think thats what got me in to this dumb hobby. Parents cut cable when I was in 2nd or 3th grade so the only things I could watch where evening crime shows, old sitcoms, or Saturday morning cartoons which included a lot of 4kids anime, so when I got my first computer said 4kids anime where the easiest to find with full episodes uploaded straight to Youtube (usually in 1/3rd parts) and it spiraled from there.

Dont forget about DanMachi S4. Also, Spring was'nt too bad imo. I think Skeleton Knight in Another World and Love After World Domination saved the Spring season. Well it did for me at least. Winter 2022 was also ok. Only JoJo, Attack on Titan and My Dress Up Darling were interesting for me.

Late reply but Winter has always been seasonal shit. Almost anything coming out of Winter is peak Flavor of the Month bullshit that gets forgotten about 3 months tops.

They met at least once, so I can see that.

Reminds me of when Carter Cathcart (Gary-motherfucking-Oak) claimed himself to be the best James (this was confirmed to be his account).

You can count on one hand the number of VAs who aren't full of themselves.

I believe there's stories of voice-actors imitating each other off-mic, whether out of fun or whatnot, so maybe he could do some damn good impressions, but it doesn't look like there's recorded proof of this and he must've not given any examples in that panel. It funnily enough reminds me of a claim that Stuart did the voice of Mewtwo in the Pokémon Puzzle League game because Jay Goede in an interview said he had no recollection of recording lines for a game and it was speculated they may have spliced recordings for it. So 🤷‍♀️.
 
I forgot to add, this summer we also get Made In Abyss S2. Hopefully it's not a letdown like The Promised Neverland S2.

Exactly, Saitama will probably never find an enemy that truly challenges him until the final act. The dramatic tension comes from whether or not he show up on time to actually save the day. Murata certainly seems willing to kill heroes off, given that he had a couple of samurai dude get straight up melted by acid, but I don't think he's going to change Garou in that way. While I'm still not a fan of the sheer overescalation he's doing, after this chapter I'm more optimistic that he can at least pull off the remainder of this arc in a satisfying manner. Beyond that he runs the risk of writing himself into a corner unless he makes the conscious decision to tone down the scale and focus a bit more on substance rather than style. So far the next arc seems like a pretty good opportunity to do exactly that.

If anything, this will encourage Saitama to try harder to get there in time.
