Silly question, but what is the anime equivalent to this album?

For me, I think it’s Great Teacher Onizuka

But yeah, we should do a thread where we name our favorite musical albums and what anime it reminds us of.
 
WataMote recently had a what-if "swole Tomoko" gag panel in the "we didn't have time to finish chapter 189" mini-chapter that creators Nico Tanigawa put out the other week.

So I just finished reading Ajin: Demi-Human and I was really impressed with how good it was. The story-telling was really tight, and the logic behind the immortals was really well thought out and I liked the author didn't feel a need to explain everything perfectly. Sato and Kei were great foils to each other, both having sociopathic elements to them, though on different sides of the scale.

Sato makes a great Joker-like antagonist who just views his life and the lives of others as a living game. His motivation is that he has none, he just wants to make a story-line for the game he is playing. Its great because he's so unpredictable.

I also liked how it ended without a gigantic fucking kaiju monster that some mangaka think they need to end their manga with. It was also kind of funny to me how Japan were portrayed as treating their demi-humans worse than the Americans, who just kept tabs on them, basically for their own protection as they'd be really useful for all kinds of heinous shit.
 
Urusei Yatsura is probably the greatest time capsule manga/anime for late 1970s and early 1980s pop culture (both Japanese and whatever western pop culture was big in Japan at the time) that there is, and you also get to learn a lot about Japanese folklore and, to a lesser degree, religion, especially if you have the old AnimEigo tapes, Laserdiscs, or DVDs with the liner notes (do the recent re-releases of Urusei Yatsura include the liner notes for cultural references and puns?).

I'd probably buy the manga re-releases just to get them unflipped (the ancient 1990s Lum: Urusei Yatsura/Return of Lum: Urusei Yatsura paperback releases from Viz I have were flipped) but I don't really have the money.
 
Aside from the test English dub of the first two TV episodes of Urusei Yatsura and the U.S. Manga Corps dub of Urusei Yatsura the Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer (the only UY anime that AnimEigo didn't have the rights to since Central Park Media/USMC beat them to it), was any of the rest of Urusei Yatsura ever dubbed into English? Are there Asian English dubs of it from Hong Kong or Singapore?

For one, this is not known. Most places list the author as female. There's no evidence pointing to that its a man besides content and women write fucked up fujoshit all the time.

I think she's convinced the author is a troon, which given the content of the manga, I could maybe see why someone like Sinner would think that, given how fucked up the average tranny is.

But if it really was some tranny that wrote it, Woke Twitter wouldn't be screeching about it as hard as they are and would instead be all in support of it.

There's no evidence to suggest that Redo of Healer was written by a troon or some other male using a female pen name.

Occam's Razor suggests that it was written by an actual woman who is into fucked up shit or it was written by an actual woman who is writing it purely for the money.

Recently I have been reading the Dr. Stone manga since the anime ended and it probably has some pretty good art in terms of environment and background designs. It also is pretty interesting in how the story does a unique take on a post-apocalypse by focusing more on rebuilding civilization (while teaching the readers science) rather than focus on survival drama.

It does however have issues since there are times where things go too fast or it being hard to tell where certain characters are since sometimes in the manga you feel a character has disappeared but they somehow reappear a few chapters later.

But it's pretty good.

Hello, I hope everyone's doing ok. Anyhow, what do you guys think of Urusei Yatsura?

I think I started burning myself out a bit on Urusei Yatsura 'cause I haven't watched it for a while (probably not helped the YouTube playlist has I guess started getting deleted and whoever uploaded it to 9anime apparently cut the first several episodes into two to make the episode count longer), but it's not a show to binge and that was my fault for getting so sucked into it in the beginning lol. But I do like the show, and I still really like the characters, and I have totally come to understand why Lum has become a popular waifu. Even though I'm collecting the manga now, I still haven't made myself read through it just yet when I really should.

Thus far, the show's OPs and EDs have been some truly amazing bops, like omg they're addicting and such eyeworms.
 
Is the Hathaway Flash film meant to follow the continuity of the Char's Counterattack film or just whatever the fuck the authors felt like using?
 
So I've just finished watching watching the last episode of the first cour of mushoku tensei. overall i enjoyed it for what it was.

Instead of skipping past the "hero" childhood like most isekai do. The anime slows down and focuses on rudeus childhood and he slowly learns how to use and control magic over the years.

The anime focuses on worldbuilding and fleshing out the characters.

It’s connected. The main character was young then and one of the young girls that worshipped Char in Char’s Counterattack kinda haunts him. Never liked that girl anyways.

I think he's talking about how the book/manga has a slightly different and expanded story with different characters in some instances. Hathaways's Flash book is for sure a sequel to that version but the movie trailers weren't clear about which version they're going to follow after. In CCA Beltorchika's Children, that woman actually never shows up, Tomino just continued the Amuro-Beltorchika romance plotline he started in Zeta. It definitely matters because Hathaway goes out of it completely different. I recommend reading the manga first (the book isn't in english iirc) but if you just want the important spoilers: Instead of killing Chan (who doesnt exist in this continuity) on purpose like a traitorous moron thinking with his dick, he accidentally kills Quess when they both try to get involved in Amuro and Char's duel, which traumatizes him into the person he becomes in Hathaway's' Flash.
