I might be wrong or biased, but It feels like the isekai genre is slowly being replaced by witches. There's a bunch of anime about witches being released for a while now, feels like every season has at least a couple.

My girl Kore Yamazaki was way ahead of it with AMB and now Ghost and Witch.

Actually speaking of Crayon Shin-Chan, how caught up are fansubs? I've held it off for so long simply because there's just hundreds of missing episodes.

They are never catching up. Your best bet is Crunchy picking it up like they did Maruko and watching everything Buriburi has put out for it.

The plot doesn't really matter too much so just watching whatever episodes you want is fine but I get some people don't like that.

What is this? It's not a joke, my retarded nigger mind is struggling to grasp the concept of what this is. From my understanding this is an anime based on or a followup to a FOTM game from like three years ago about managing a menhera Vtuber. Silly premise and probably tried to be all deep like Oshi no Ko tried to before wetting the bed with incest fetishizing. I do not play FOTM games and I won't knock this series if it's for fans of the game exclusively. I can understand that as someone who's defended Fate works.
My main...well not really gripe but self imposed annoyance causing confusion is to what this show is trying to even be. From the two episodes I've seen it's a lot of overly flowery dialogue and exposition regarding streamer culture which I don't really engage in outside of shitting up threads, clips (and of course Mad at the Internet, every Friday at 12pm EST) so maybe I'm just in the shallow end of an Olympic swimming pool. This like weird distinction between the real and streamer world, how these Karamazov characters and KAngel are seemingly real but not. The "real" KAngel being obsessed with this person called P who from what I gather is the player character in the game who never really gets a happy ending. This odd almost self insert character Kache. It's all very jarring and confusing- almost like it's trying to ape Serial Experiments Lain but in an Idubbz level of irony.
Or not, it could just be my autism causing overthinking about a shill game anime with the thematic depth of an inflatable pool. I'll still watch it to try and figure out what the actual fuck it's trying to say or if it's really just some surface level "Yo, streaming is Le bad. Go away, parasocial fricks."

It's the anime adaptation of a super edgy visual novel that had its name changed to "Needy Streamer Overload" because the localizers wanted to think of the trannies and trigger warnings or whatever self-harm/suicide issues they suffer from. There's a fucking John Wayne Gacy Pogo the Clown reference in it?

Was watching a recent anime that’s airing “The Warrior Princess And Barbaric King”.

Couldn’t help but notice it was a bit censored compared to the manga.
 
Has anyone else been seeing the Japs on Twitter act like the biggest DSP dents about piracy lately? This image has been floating around.

The hypocrisy is hilarious.

Nah, you always get some sub genre trending for a bit due to some other popular work showing up.

Someone pointed out something pretty interesting about Piracy and why the Japs hate it so much. It basically comes down to the fact that Japanese culture prioritizes order above everything else. Rules exist for a reason and should be followed. It's why the Japanese were so insane during the Second World War. Higher-ups told them to die for their country, and that the enemy were subhumans, so they believed them without question because the government makes the rules, and rules are meant to be followed. Obviously, you have dissenters, but it's rare, and they're generally very quiet about it.

It's also why their work culture is so bad. "Hey Hoshi, I need you to work 80 hours this week," Asks the boss, and you just say yes because why wouldn't you? The Yakuza are another good example of Japanese people, even though they're criminals falling into their little hierarchy and following insane orders because, again, rules are rules.

American culture appreciates order to an extent, but we dislike perceived injustice more than we value rules. It's why the Declaration of Independence points out that when the government stops working for the people, we need to destroy it, the American Revolution, Civil War, Prohibition are major examples of this mentality but minor ones would be the fact that we view piracy as something similar to somone sneaking a peak at a baseball game through a fence or sneaking into a movie. While the Japanese see it as someone quite literally stealing and causing irreparable damage to the honor of whatever company they're stealing from.

It's also why the Japs have been chimping out about immigrants recently. Since they don't follow the rule of law and the Japs hate that.

I mean, yes. I understand that. I understand that quite well tbh. It is the hypocrisy though. It wasn't that long ago that Japan were the pirates themselves. When something had "made in Japan " on it, it used to mean it was a bootleg piece of shit. Wasn't until the 70s really that they started shaking that reputation off.

And let's not forget who provides the raws for the pirate sites. The japs themselves. They aren't free of sin, but they like burying it due to their culture of shame and dishonor. Owning up to it would mean "unconditional surrender".

South Korea being #3 on nyaa traffic isn't surprising either, since they also have the same problems that Japan has, but does it even worse. And does that chart also count the sukebei (PORN) part of the site too?

On a side note, when it comes to anime list tracking sites, i.e. MAL, AniList, AniDB, Anime-Planet, etc; what is the average number anime list entries per user? I would think it would be in the 300-400 range on average, with the higher ones being either people that are dedicated (500-700), list them to cheat, or diehard addicts (900+). Manga entries I think would be a bit more, maybe 400-500, since those would be faster to read in comparison, I think.

IIRC, it was actually due to Japan having strict anti-drug laws which led to "Overdose" being changed to "Overload".

I don't think it applies in this case, it's more that Japs tend to get autistically devoted to media products, to the point that buying multiple copies to "support the creators" is a decades old meme.

They see another person downloading an anime/game for free as literally cucking them.
