Tuned in to Post 2K Anime / Manga!

It's nice to have a situation where the most popular one is the best as well.
For Sketchbook I recall it being decent but all the cat parts being shit. For GA for reasons I can't recall it's one of my least favourite Kirara anime. I really don't know what it did wrong to make me consider it Aldnoah tier but aside from remembering a surrealist episode being decent I don't remember anything else so have to defer to a list I made 6 years ago.

For extra art girl anime if I count New Game and Stella no Mahou they'd only be behind Hidamari. If I include mangaka and potters a few extra series would join them.

I found volume 2 in a secondhand shop the other day. It's a little bit disappointing they didn't have the 1st as well, but it was still a good find.
I'm taking this as my sign to start reading it finally. I'll report back later.

He's still releasing music what do you mean?

Furui Riho does the opening and TOMOO does the credits
I assume Piranhas are doing the soundtrack itself

>>803

>> The organization using the orphanage system to raise child soldiers and then deploying them as cannon fodder was always in the background

MiA took world design plot concepts from Stalker book, movie (not the game, which is VERY different and misaligned with original concept book & movie).

worth noting that MiA haters usually act like green skinned general , dressed in a witch hunt inquisitor black costume from some British tv series animation, I can't recall title of. something about monkeys.

The author does nothing wrong, he is one of us, he keep otaku spirit alive in his work by drawing and publishing this delicious and (mildly) unhinged work of loliguroporn

The people who hate on him are tourists, newcomers, people who got into anime in recent years and watch it on smartphones, the twitter and reddit moralfriendry crowd who screetch about "pedo" content making them "uncomfortable" because that's that and being "hateful" are the worst insults they can come up with
I despise them all. I love MiA, except he takes waaay too much time drawing these chapters and I'm mildly worried he'll end up like miura.

I tried to give MiA a fair chance by watching the anime first but I gave up after season one after it just kept sliding into "let's torture children" porn. Except not like literal porn, but I'm not going to get far enough into the series to find out if the constant sexualization of children goes that far. It /probably/ doesn't, but I wouldn't be surprised if it did. I loved the setting because it did remind me of Tarkovsky's Stalker, and I love series like Madoka and Elfen Lied but at some point, it ended up giving me the sensation of watching a video of a kitten be beaten to death with a shovel and I started wondering what the fuck am I doing with my time.

I have seen only 1st season. I haven't read manga.

>author is one
one of who? Are you mangaka or writer, maybe show us some of your works?

there is no such thing as "otaku", it's a broad social construct term. person who watches only iyashikei are different from one who watches mahoushoujo or shounen etc.

or maybe you wanted to say : author is just a normal regular human too. In this case yes, maybe.

Buy originals, licensed hard copies directly from author, if you really care so much.

>Elfen Lied
I remember when it just came out and were considered newfg zoomer type of emo slop. And then some one made cool effect amv with breaking benjamin & diary of jane. When it came out we were drinking beer staying overnight with my punk school friend, smoking cigs at roof, watching moon n stars n anime. now he grew up a bit of alt-right. but he still like watching mimikauwa alike stuff.

> the series to find out if the constant .. goes

Otherside Picnic was decent but felt a bit directionless for the most part. I think it would've been better had it just been an adventure of the two girls traversing the zone throughout with no link to Japan and back.. Still, the escape theme from that show was a banger.

read the novel or manga, the anime adaptation is trash
they cut content and shuffled the order of events, even if you just want to see the characters animated and talking it's bad, it's horrible for first time introduction to the series

maannn it's funny I haven't noticed this thread before here about Urasekai picnic.
I'm from MiA thread.

im sorry.

I strongly doubt it. Especially since there was a lot of dark stuff in the 80s with hyper violent OVAs that was reviled by a lot of westerners, especially internet critics of the 2000s. Hell look at Genocyber which was peak nihilism and postmodern critique. The same guy that did Genocyber went on to do the plot of FMA 2003 which was more nihilistic than the source material.
I think it's less to do with western influence and more a sub-sect of that Japanese generation at the time that grew disillusioned, I am not that good at Japanese Cold War history, but part of me thinks it has to do with all the wacky shit that was going on in the 60s-70s with those extreme leftist groups that were taking over schools and causing literal sieges (I think there was even one that was a literal self-hating anti-Japanese group?).
Also post-modern critique in Japan is nothing really new. So I don't really believe that either. It just so happens it more easily appeals to western tastes because westerners are a lot more cynical.

I wouldn't be so harsh, he heard it from another anon so I strongly doubt it's his own beliefs. But I can see why it would be easy to jump to that conclusion if you only looked at it superficially. If you look deeper it doesn't really add up that much honestly.

>It's as if Gonzo wanted to atone for how much they butchered Hellsing by taking a similar IP
Nah take that back. Hellsing 2001 was great.
I get it wasn't faithful, but I just found out more interesting than Hirano's original version (I like the tone, characters, writing, style and music more). Hirano's original manga felt too rushed since Hirano was just too lazy to actually write the damn story, which is part of the reason why the anime was mostly original instead of faithful.
I wish Hirano had more of an attitude like Arakawa when it came to unfaithful adaptations, I would've liked Hellsing 2001 to run for a bit longer before then having Ultimate come out much later so Hirano could've taken more time to actually finish the manga instead of rushing it in such a weird way. But nah, Hirano threw a hissy fit about 2001 and probably got any continuation shit-canned.

Since Ergo Proxy is being talked about, here is an old interview with the director.

You need to be put down.

I've only watched the anime. I liked season 1 a lot, but lost interest during the theater performance part of last season. I just thought it looked silly with the whole emotions showing through their acting thing.

I went into it completely blind and I really enjoyed it, I was hooked and watched the two seasons, I then knew I wanted more of it and read the manga, which I was also hooked on
I was sad for a day after reading the final 20 something chapters
I really liked the reincarnation angle from Aqua's POV, I wish there was more of it and I also enjoyed the slice of life stuff with Aqua and Ruby in the later parts of the manga, I wish there was more of it too but there's lots of fanart to fill that void

I love art

Not my usual genre but I'm reading Kitchen no Ohimesama at the moment. Enjoying it well enough so far. Mostly just in it for the baking aspect (although the art is very cute).

Rewatching Princess Tutu, I loved it the first time around and wanted to experience it for a second time, though in all honesty I'm not ready to be sad again.

right now I'm watching Idol Precure and Princession

I was watching Futari wa but got distracted by watching VOTOMS. I love Nagisa.

>>89 I remember this manga! I read it at the local library when I was much younger and remember it being pretty decent. Does it still hold up?
