My bad. I only replied because I saw this on the overboard. I guess the OP just really loves grain. Maybe figamin can condense the threads somehow.

Does wapchan want to compete in a competition against other otaku related imageboards?
The sport will be a vidya game yet to be decided(chess maybe?), so suggestions are welcome. Representatives from tohno, hikari, world2ch.net, and hopefully a few others should participate. That is all

Retro Anime that you want to see subbed. anon 01/08/22 (Sat) 16:39:36 No.581 [Reply]>>604

Self explanatory. For me it would be three late 80s Studio Comet produced TV shows all with Hirosho Kanazawa as character designer and heavily involved as an animation director. I believe all three are manga adaptations, and they all have the similar kind of pudgy faced caricatured character designs that are really unique. High School Kimengumi, Tsuide ni Tonchinkan and Meimon! Daisan Yakyuubu. The latter two I watched raw, with Tsuide ( screenshots shown here) being a well executed slapstick comedy, albeit a bit repetitive. Meimon is an incredibly well done sports drama with storyboards that feel somewhat reminiscent of Dezaki, as it was his student, Hiroshi Fukutomi who directed it. The animation quality was outstandingly good and consistent, full of subtle weighty convincing motion during the baseball games. Kimengumi has its movie subbed and I enjoyed it, but the series has yet to be picked up.

I think it's important everyone is aware there's still
FORTY-EIGHT (48) HOURS UNTIL THE NEXT STREAM

Giving everyone plenty of time to catch up.
Up to episode TWENTY-EIGHT (28) because the host repeatedly forgets to mention what episode we're at.

Hunter X Hunter (1999) ranks in the top 10 best anime of all time in the lists of multiple decorated experts in the field of japanese visual arts the world over. It's so consensual, it's become a joke within the field to say you're hunterxhunterizing(1999) something when you try to argue something has unquestionable widespread appeal and exceptional quality of production and execution (the joke is sarcastic in tone because only Hunter X Hunter (1999) has ever been able to achieve it – it's like reminding the people arguing for the virtues of whatever they're defending exactly the standard they're trying to compare their stuff to).

Come check whether or not the experts are right,

Historical Anime anon 03/01/22 (Tue) 07:59:42 No.163 [Reply]

Often overlooked, I think there's a lot of good retro anime based on historical events that get often overlooked. Let's have a thread about them.
I'll start with Ai no Wakakusa Monogatari, adapted from the 1868 novel Little Women about the lives of four sisters during the American Civil War.

Having already watched a few episodes: don't. It's slow and boring and all the characters suck.

It's too bad, because the historical period is interesting, but the actual show is shit

Catalogs of Showa Magazines? anon 05/03/25 (Sat) 19:21:31 No.3476 [Reply]>>3477

Are there any sites out there in the depths of the Japanese web anything like comics.org that list what mangas ran in what magazine for a given issue?
Ones that are more specific and only list a few magazines are fine. Any sort of listings going into the publication history of magazines besides Shounen Jump would be useful.

This is kind of how I feel. I read a collection of oneshots of his that Viz (? I think) released back in the day and it was fine, but the best one was the mystery of the cute psychic girl at the ski lodge and even a series of one shots was getting repetitive by the end.

Still, what he does do, he does well.

Have any of you seen Miracle Girls? It's show about two twins who can communicate telepathically and and teleport. It's more shojo that magical girl, but I remember liking it alot. I saw it some years ago and remember laughing on the second episode when a plane gets hijacked by terrorists as part of a joke, thinking how they couldn't make a plot like that today.

anon 05/02/25 (Fri) 20:22:36 No.3472

I wasn't that sure about Creamy Mami at the start but some of the episodes were crazy and surreal, which I liked. I was going to jump into Persia but it's sub status isn't as clear and Creamy Mami kind of burned me out. I'm currently watching Nanoha Strikers.

I liked Nurse Angel Ririka a lot too and it's a shame it was apparently cut short. I'm interested in if the manga has any additional content (like the Tokimeki Tonight manga vs the anime) but based on the length, probably not.

The manga of Hime-chan no Ribbon is one of my favorite magical girl things. The anime is good too but doesn't have a good conclusion imo.
