One of these days I'll reread Ichi The Killer, since last weeks it was reminded to me multiple times on Kiwifarms.

Loved the manga the first time.
 
Can someone explain for me why people are pissed off on jujutsu kaisen ending?


I am one of the few people that likes Shingeki no kyojin ending and was very satisfied, but this doesn't seem similar of how it ended.
 
Guys, I think we may have been too harsh on Legend of Duo. Apparently the reason it was mostly still frames with mouth flaps is because it was made to be watched on flip phones: https://landofobscusion.blogspot.com/2013/06/legend-of-duo-twilights-fathers.html
Even before I knew that, I thought it was decent. It's a fujobaity vampire OVA with a vaguely sci-fi premise and character designs straight out of a VN, and that's actually fairly cool. There's another OVA like it, Vie Durant, that will probably never be subbed, but I still wouldn't mind seeing what it's about.

basically giant bug monsters have taken over the earth and the saviour to defeat them as the guys were in cryogenic storage it's one of the older animes so it has that nineties 2000s look

also it's funny that the monsters appear in 2017 clearly this is an allegory for the social justice warriors

That's a throwback, there used to be a trailer for that on my Revenge of Cooler dvd where it showed a holographic outline of the pilot sitting in the mech and it would crack us up every time because the music wants you to take it very seriously
 
It came a little late in my area but finally watched Dandadan in Theatres. I really enjoyed it. It's faithful as it can be to the Manga, visually great, OP is really fun, a high energy show in general. There was lots of laughs in the theatre and people stuck around and to chat about it. Good vibes all around.
 
To think, despite how much anime has been beating the rest of media nowadays, some still call it little more than "Disney-lite McMedia corporate slop."

it's not even remotely what the anime is about I'd be kinda it just has one of those really bad endings where it's literally not even a final confrontation people need to stop writing these endings there's gotta be some deep philosophical meaning no I just wanna see giant Mecca beating bugs to death.

Trvke doe. If anime wasn't McDonald's conveyor belt slop nowadays, there wouldn't be so many isekai that all look and feel the same, and most battle shonen wouldn't fall apart so easily.

I blame the popularity of that genre of anime more on the fact that society is basically falling apart and no one has a sense of community so why wouldn't people want the idea of starting over in a world free of suffering.

I don’t think I care about “Grimjoker5572” from the YT comment section liking the same media as me.

Some people still aren’t fond of the medium, so be it. They were meant to be filtered.
 
It is a bit odd to see nowadays though, given how much more accepted the medium has become.

Though maybe that’s a blessing, as to be frank, anime remaining niche does keep the mainstream from trying to turn it into something more accessible to a general audience.
 
Singer-Songwriter Sayuri Dies at 28 (archive)

Sayuri sang theme songs for Lycoris Recoil, Scum's Wish, ERASED, My Hero Academia

The official X (formerly Twitter) account of singer Sayuri announced on Friday that Sayuri died on September 20. She was 28. Her relatives and close associates held a private funeral.

Sayuri's husband, the musician Amaarashi, said on his X/Twitter account that Sayuri had been fighting a chronic illness.

On July 25 earlier this year, Sayuri announced that she would go on hiatus due to suffering from functional dysphonia, a condition that causes someone's voice to sound strained or otherwise irregular, with no obvious physiological or neurological reasons. At the time, she said that she was seeing a speech therapist and vocal coach, but that she was feeling frustrated at not being able to express herself and connect to the world.

Sayuri has been active as a singer-guitarist in the local scene of her hometown of Fukuoka since her teenage years, forming the musical duo LONGTAL and performing in small music venues and busking. When she was 19 years old she made her major solo debut with the single "Mikazuki" in August 2016, which also served as the ending theme song for the Rampo Kitan: Game of Laplace anime. She has since performed theme songs for other anime, with some of her popular anime songs including "Hana no Tō" (Tower of Flower) from 2022's Lycoris Recoil, "Heikōsen" (Parallel Lines) from 2017's Scum's Wish, "Sore wa Chiisa na Hikari no yō na" (That Was Like a Small Light) from 2016's ERASED, and "Kōkai no Uta" (Song of Regret) from the fourth season of My Hero Academia in 2019, to name a few.

Sayuri married musician and vocalist Amaarashi on March 18 earlier this year.

Failure Frame is so good. I don't know why I like it so much, probably because I went into it with low expectations like a lot of isekai.
 
The last chapter of Jujutsu Kaisen was translated by fans. The following is basically the last thing that happens at the last two pages of the chapter.

Sukuna's soul, as he passes on, meets a last vestige of Mahito left ever since their first encounter or something. Mahito asks Sukuna if he wasn't a lying hypocrite who didn't live according to his stature, but to take revenge. Sukuna says that nah, he lived the only way he knew, before admitting that actually, he could've taken his life in two other paths, but he was afraid that he would be consumed by the curse of revenge. Next time, though, he wants to try something else. Mahito tells him that this is bullshit, he went soft, and Sukuna agrees - after all, he lost. Cue this.

Started reading Ajin yesterday and it's fucking good. Blew through the first 10 volumes in virtually no time, gonna finish reading it today. I dislike the protagonists chara design but most of the others are great, especially the Black Ghosts. The action is great, Sakurai knows how to convey dynamic and the violence, while over the top, is fitting. The demi-human thing is a neat little idea which i greatly enjoy. Best manga i've read in quite a while.

Last one for me was Alice in Borderland after i watched the Netflix show's first season. It had an interesting premise but is losing itself fast in its own bullshit and turns into complete slop a couple of volumes in. I just powered through it because i at least wanted to know how it ended. It must've been utterly shit because i couldn't remember how it did end even if my life depended on it. 2010+ manga just don't seem to do it for me in almost all cases. Ajin is a notable exception.

Yamamoto is an excellent mangaka, completely unique style. I'm a big fan of "Homonculus" even if it's full with troonery (to be fair, it came out long before troons went mainstream and ruined everything). Ichi was the first scan i've ever downloaded, love it.

I tried twice now to watch it and dropped it a couple of episodes in. I don't know why, it's fucking excellent and right up my alley. Well-animated, original story, great characters. I need to give it another shot.
