I just started Jaadugar: A Witch in Mongolia, the new Ghost in the Shell series, and Goodbye Lara. I'm really enjoying them so far.

I wonder if Wrath-Amon consulted on the recent episode of Hanzuki no Gekokujo. Good old family-friendly stuff.

I finished both seasons of Sono Bisque Doll a few days ago and now I'm watching Kaguya Sama

It's been very fun but I'm afraid of what I'll watch after I finish Kaguya Sama

If anyone has suggestions please let me kno

>>503

Itll probably keep on getting more and more convoluted for you to understand, BUT you'll still leave with a good notion of the anime when you're done. I reccomend that you dont drop it!!

>>6821
Sono Bisque Doll, Kaguya Sama and Lain . . . Perhaps Utena? It’s closer to Lain than the other shows, but surrounds its trippy visuals around lots of comedy as well as having a romance (mostly but not only yuri) core.

>>6826

>and Lain

I only mentioned Lain because another anon was talking about it; If possible, I would like something that is closer to both sono bisque doll and kaguya sama

Still, thanks a lot for the recc! I'll be sure to check it out when I've got the time

Would streaming the entirety of Tonari no Seki-kun be too much? It would be about 2 hours and 30 minutes long.

No streamm today?

>>6818
Don't know what to stream. That's why I asked about it in the post above yours. There's no interest in that so I dunno.

>>6819
Sorry about that. If we have anime fatigue, maybe we could watch a nature documentary or something? I don't know. Or watch >>6627, I did not watch it yet.

>>6823
No worries. I just get indecisive sometimes. A-Girl is very short and is more like a silent film than anything we've watched on stream before, but sure, we can watch it. Penguins: Meet the Family could also be a good nature documentary for us to watch.

No one called anyone delusional? At least not in this thread.

I have noticed more people intentionally making things up to argue about on /kind/ but you're probably the one doing it again now.

I'd go through the mental checklist of what you could do to make yourself feel better even if slightly. Sleep, diet, and physical activity being foundational. After that I'd sort through what you could do to find people to talk to. You might want to teach yourself or allow yourself to be delusionally optimistic just in order to convince yourself to do things without losing motivation.

Years of isolation are no joke, i forgot how to hold a conversation from all the years as a neet.
For me it's kind of two sides of a coin though, i want to have friends, but i usually can't get along with people irl. Social interactions are exhausting and i've always sucked at it. I only have fun talking with someone when it's about my interests, so anime, games the usual. Even back in school classmates were making comments about me that i was weird because i literally talked about nothing else.
I thought about being alone online too for a while now. I've spent much time in front of the screen but rarely post or interact with anyone because it's exhausting, like i feel this post is a mess but i want to get better at conveying my thoughts i guess. Also i think having online friend/s would be cool, and regret i didn't try when i was younger. And the black screen instead of a future is very relatable.

Let's say you were trying to repair relations with your family and threatened to kill your brother instead. What would you do?

Fedze- Arms Around Me
Genre: E-pink/incelcore
prolly his only single that I like from him, always been a c9k and gezzebelle moid but this song is good.

Black Sabbath - Children of The Sea

Been listening to this one for a few months.

Read Sisters in Yellow by Mieko Kawakami. I really liked this book. I finished it days ago and I steel feel emotional when thinking about it. Probably the best japanese book I've read so far.

I've been meaning to re-read Genealogy again because my first read years ago was superficial and I feel like I could get more out of it now. I did hear that it's a better read after Beyond good and evil so maybe I should read that first this time.

>>6478
Yeah if it weren't for the fact I am reading it as part of a book club with others more versed in Nietzsche I wouldn't be able to appreciate or understand it as much. If you have read more of his works I would probably recommend giving it another shot, you'll probably enjoy it better.

I have read China Miéville's Kraken. It is urban fantasy about a stolen giant squid specimen from a museum and then there's magic and apocalypses and it's confusing and the characters are not very interesting and it's way too long.

I read Super-Cannes by Ballard, it was really good. I think it's a bit milder than most of the other stuff I read by him and at some points there was too much talking, but it was engrossing and fun to read, I enjoyed it.

The epub I read also contained a short story, "The Enormous Space", which was amazing, I loved it.

I'm going through the Monogatari series. Want to rewatch the anime after I finish reading, but just as expected it takes a while because motivation.

Return of the Jedi is almost as forgettable as Attack of the Clones.

'max max: fury road' was awesome!! the action scenes were kickass! and i liked the really bright and detailed lighting! it made me feel like i was on a post-apocalyptic wasteland...

I watched Memories of Murder (2003) directed by Bong Joon Ho. A South Korean film about detectives hunting for a serial killer in a rural village. This film is very subtle and famous for its surprise ending. There's lots of clever visual story telling, interesting twists, and a fair amount of humor along the way. While your generic cop thriller slowly reveals a hidden truth via science and reason, this movie goes in entirely the opposite direction by turning the detective genre on its head.

Whereas classic detectives like Sherlock Holmes use reason to expose the truth, in Memories of Murder the detectives' rationality obscures reality. They misread clues, see patterns that don't exist, and resort to torture to brute force their theories when they fail to pan out. Rationality is exposed as arbitrary, violent, and incapable of grasping reality. In this sense, Memories of Murder is a piece of post-modern anti-detective cinema.

There's also a subtle layer of political commentary: the South Korean state is constantly carrying out civil defense drills and crushing protests in the name of national security, yet this almighty institution is incapable of protecting ordinary people from a simple murderer. Korean modernity is on trial here. Bureaucracy can't solve social problems, reason doesn't bring psychological comfort, and industrial development creates a level of anonymity and social breakdown that makes it possible for a killer to hide in a crowd.

Highly recommend this movie.

I usually hate Holocaust movies, but The Zone of Interest is really up there. The setup is fairly simple: its about the Hoess family who live in the shadow of Auschwitz where their father serves as the camp commandant. Its not like I can add much to what's already been said about it, the film is cinematically innovative and despite their being no real gore, no real action, or pornographic visuals of suffering that suffocate most Holocaust movies, its manages to be uncomfortable. The Hoess family are painfully ordinary and the immense suffering taking place just over the wall is pretty banal aspect of their lives, a topic of dinner table conversation or watercooler talk like any other job. There's some brief moments where it falls into the typical shoah porn genre tropes, but its brief and not really glaring enough to be annoying. The cinéma vérité style might turn off some people.

Evil Dead Burn (2026)
At first I found myself enjoying this film. The gore and brutality is initially satisfying and while not as schlocky as other entries in the series, it has its fair share of well placed humor. Sadly, the horror scenes quickly descend into shots of people aimlessly wrestling in different areas of the house. The most disturbing aspect of this movie is the plot, and I don't mean that in a good way. The theme here is domestic violence. The MC's spouse is depicted as an abuser, but this is retroactively established through convenient flashbacks and not depicted with much nuance. One character, the MC's mother in law, works hard to care for the family's dementia riddled grandmother in the midst of deadite attacks. This should make her sympathetic or at least warm us to a character that's quite bad tempered, instead the film works hard to portray her as a villain whose entire family deserves their grisly end because of one abusive son. Guilt by association is wheeled out to justify family annihilation. This vindictive and anti-social streak dulls the horror. Its hard to root for these characters when they are all depicted as shitty assholes who are gonna die anyway. I left the theater hating this movie.

I wrote a poem and wanted to share it, but figured nobody cares, so I didn't.

I would read it.

To Botan and Ibuki

She steps into the water of an open air bath
And there's a sunset over the dark sea.
Almost a dream in which the purple sky
Is shared by these two setting suns.

Bright rays of gold fall on the surface like
A garden of white lilies, shaded by the changing light;
And under it, beneath the calming waves,
There's all the warmth of day
With all temptations of the morning
That's met in bed under a shared blanket.

That's pretty nice, thanks for sharing!

Would you like to play a literary role-playing game, /kind/? If you would, then write a piece of a modernist prose about a carburetor.

The grass is so lush… I've been laying down and kneading it a lot. It feels really nice… The fireflies will join me in the evening sometimes… I might just do that all summer.

Outside of work I stay inside until because it's like 43 degrees outside. I do like taking 3am trips to the store to buy cheap pre-made sandwiches, and it's only like 37 degrees at night so it's better for a walk. I really am developing a taste for roast beef and pastrami. Other than that, I am going to listen to albums that I like, and maybe try to finish the first season of Hidamari sketch, or re-watch season 1 of Gunslinger Girl.

I've been slacking for quite awihle. I need to do workout more.

I'm just working on my writing. Its mostly private stuff and not very good but it keeps me busy. I'm very lazy and feeling rather dejected these days.
