Is anybody reading Night Light Hounds?
I've been reading it. While there isn't anything interesting to say about it yet, it's utterly beautiful and still engaging. I hope it continues to grow, we are on the edge of some neat plotlines.

I recommend reading the random visually interesting stuff mangaplus shits out. Most of it gets cancelled, but they do bring back artists for more fleshed out series.
 
90s and early 2000s Hentai English dubs also had atrocious voice over work. It's as if the studio literally hired people off the street, and offered them Taco Bell to read off some lines in an animated porno.
Also, British dubs were often ass, below the quality of dubs of low-budget kung fu films. There was one channel I came across that had some compilations of some particularly feculent gems of British dubbing , like clips from the dub of the 1982 title Techno Police 21C ("WHAT'S THAT WHAT KIND OF CAR IS THAT?") though one can find the whole thing around online. Alas, that one seems to have been deleted in the years since, but I came across another old channel with a few clips of bad dubbing from UK releases.

A UK release of the early 1980s film based on Locke the Superman
"Hey, you should never let your sheeps overeat; they'll get sick."
"I'm an expert ha ha."

The dub of a UK release of Crusher Joe: The Movie. Well. It's...well.

UK dub of Galaxy Express. Notably, Captain "Warlock" sounds like someone trying to do a bad John Wayne impression on purpose, and somehow failing at it.

Take your bets, people.
 
Princess Mononoke and Howl's Moving Castle are my favorites, but I still have to see all Miyazaki movies.


Really ? Apart from Makoto Shinkai and Satoshi Kon no one comes to mind if I think about it. Miyazaki is the go-to guy for "normies". And I don't think that the approachability of his work is a problem. Not to mention that there is the possibility that someone completely oblivious to anime at least heard of Miyazaki/Ghibli or one of his movies. This that the case for a lot of other people involved in anime too ?
You have people like Toriyama and Miura having infinitely more effect on the medium and art for the next decades, normies included (though I guess they aren't technically directors). And as for being a "grandfather of anime" you have people who actually pioneered genres rather than being bootleg Disney.

Okay, speaking generally, you are certainly right that Toriyama and Dragon Ball had and continue to have a considerable impact on the medium in general and especially regarding normies. Miura and Berserk too, but not sure if that also applies to the normies. Osamu Tezuka's influence is undeniable, but I would argue that he and Miyazaki can stand side by side, especially if you separate manga and anime.
 
Japan has leaned heavily into the "sympathy for the devil" nonsense that progressives have pushed in the West for years in a lot of their media based off of what I have seen. Normally I can tolerate it, so long as the universe bothers to establish that ackshually the demons aren't supernatural monsters from hell but rather some subspecies of human, but when the story goes out of the way to paint the aliens as monsters, it really should just stick with that. This to me is as bad an idea as Frieren At The Funeral introducing a demon who isn't like the other demons and just wants to grill and stuff and is misunderstood due to no fault of its own.
Let him finish the story at least. If every single alien is indeed sociopathic and this particular one is a straight-up psycho, why should we assume that it's not all complete bullshit coming from his mouth? Maybe there's something hilarious in the sack.

I was gonna disagree with the frieren thing too but I'm phoneposting and one paragraph was already enough to make me feel dirty
 
I need to check both of these out, I've heard good things about them
They're wonderful imo. But on the kf scale, ichi the witch is bad because it has a nigger as a deuteragonist and fags saved kagurabachi in the early days when it was morbius.
But who cares about the kf scale, this shits awesome

Kagurabachi is just hokozano drawing action movies as comics. iirc he spends 6 days just on paneling and framing and a day of drawing for kgb, while ichi the witch is the closest thing you got to a 2000s shonen
 
Some people noticed that one of the frames in OPM 3's most recent (?) episode has editing assets that were accidentally left in:

The amount of people sucking the balls to this show after Episode 8, because the animation was a bit better so they're going all "WE'RE BACK BOYS" mode is probably premature.

I'm finding it hard to see Miyazaki influence compared to Tezuka, maybe Nausica did a lot but I haven't saw it.

Like trannyism, Japan has a good deal of responsibility for the trope becoming commonplace, one can argue that they did it due to their role in WW2.
 
"Hey, you should never let your sheeps overeat; they'll get sick."
"I'm an expert ha ha."
Reminds me of these ones I occasionally send out of context to people. some of these uploads are almost 20 years old and it freaks me the fuck out a little because it shows how stagnant the last decade's been.


Still funny though
 
Every other half year i'll reinstall a manga reader app and browse for a few hours. Every single time I find something worth reading, I already read it 3 years ago and it has only moved 20 chapters. Mangakas make fuck all, literally more than 60% of them rely on paternal financing according to study: How the fuck do they release such little content and stay afloat?
 
Is the Villainess isekai even actually evil? Back in my day a Villainess could be relied on to set the heroine up to be raped, nowadays they are just haughty.
No, they aren't ever actually evil. They can't sell to gaijin if it has a twitter nono word happen.

It is just cute girls doing cute stuff with her harem of soft bishi boys and the occasional side girl or edgy bishi boy thrown in for variety's sake.
