Tuned in to Mixed Media!

/media/ is for discussing media not covered in the other boards - art, books. TV, music, and whatever else you like.

Here it is, the worst wapchan graphic novel

Hello, I've been given permission to let you know about our Hidamari Sketch themed channel where we share music and watch shows together.

https://cytu.be/r/wideamari

The main stream is every Saturday between 15:00 and 17:00 UTC with a long after-stream. There's also stuff on other days.

The line up currently is Cromartie High and Madoka Magica. We focus on comfy shows, comedy and classics. The after-stream is more eclectic with lots of music, more anime and a movie.

(A non-exhaustive list of previously featured: Hidamari Sketch, Non Non Biyori, VOTOMs, Dark Gathering, Nichibros, Dorohedoro, City Hunter, Kaiji, Zone of the Enders: I, Dolores, Legend of the Galactic Heroes, Hitori Bocchi no Marumaru Seikatsu.)


If you like sharing cool and/or obscure things while posting cute emotes it's a good place to be.

I discovered them really recently, like a month ago, and they just obliterated my fav rankings. I wish I knew them earlier

What's some anime/manga (or other media) that has aged well or aged badly since it was released?

I find it pretty interesting how older media written about an older time is often taken today to be something that predicted the present we live with now. For example, Metal Gear Solid 2 wasn't liked when it came out and the whole story is a commentary on video games, but today people see it as having predicted the internet culture of the 2020s and AI when it really didn't. It does seem like the 90s zeitgeist is lost on the younger audience and this is one of the main reasons they misinterpret it. The world between the end of the Cold War and 9/11 was a very different place. MGS2's message was dead on arrival because 9/11 happened. I distinctly remember being blown away by MGS2's visuals and the improved stealth mechanics but disappointed by a story that felt like a re-run of the first game, which was itself a clone of Metal Gear 2 for the MSX. Now its considered a classic. The world Baudrillard was writing about in Simulacra and Simulation in the early 80s was closer the world of Chibi Maruko-chan than our one, but he's taken as this prophet whose books are key to explaining our world. The Matrix's vision of the future has aged very badly but people loved it at the time. Now I watch it and think its silly. Didn't know where to post this.
