Weekly Anime Post 79

I hate anime so much it's unreal.

Not much on my part as I'm still reading The Ravages of Time. One thing that isn't spoken enough when it comes to this comic is the concept of deception. Sure, we all know works that have le token genius character who has a plan for everything and surely doesn't rely on unlogical circumstances to win. Ravages has that too, but at least it's somewhat believable. I'm talking about common tricks aimed to deceive the enemy. A good example is how Lü Bu is praised as the god of war and thus feared by warlords, generals and soldiers alike. Soldiers, which to be fair were mostly peasants at the time anyway, tremble at the sheer sight of him and are afraid of his martial prowess and therefore are simply incapable of any action. While the romance and its many adaptions exaggerate this to an insanely stupid level, I quite like how the comic applies this to concepts such as morale or fortitude of troops. Now, think about it. What would happen if you heard you were going up against this unbeatable men and his strong army? You'd be scared shitless but lucky for you, he can only be at one place at a time. Can he though? How would you even recognize a man you have never met, never heard or never even seen just by rumors alone? Especially on the battlefield? You wouldn't. Ravages has some grand moments applying this concept such as 8 different Lü Bus defending a city. It's also brilliantly done with characters supposedly dying only to miraculously come back alive.

tl:dr

Any of you degenerates watched onimai? If so, rate

Posting without context

Bocchi is really cute and feelgood. I still prefer Watamote for the pure horrible realism and awkwardness but Bocchi is better for your health.

The Angel Next Door is pretty good imo, as far as romcoms can be good.

Also anime is gay.

Been on vacation without a laptop so no anime viewing for me, I'll get back to it later tho once the tan begins to fade

Finished Billy Bat. Wild book. The first ~20 chapters were too fast and felt disjointed, but by the time you hit the ninja arc, I felt like it had come into its own. I loved all the random shit cramed in, although pretty much everyone surviving until the end was meh. Devive was essily my favorite character and one of the few that felt like he really developed and grew. My man died a hero.

The suicide? demon in Chainsaw Man 2 will hopefully be cool once stuff happens.

I stayed up until like 3:30 last night reading 20th Century Boys. I haven’t read a manga this compelling in quite a while.

I briefly considered watching the Aqours live show after but I think I’d be up until like 6 AM so I’m gonna watch it tonight on the TV. They’re doing a similar all group set list but the solos are the 2nd and 3rd ones which is great! Kinda sad An-Chan isn’t gonna do お変わり Happy Life but she put on a heck of a show during the Valentines show so I’m sure this will be great too. Also finally get to see Akorega ran ran ran live! Love that song.

Blue Lock is so fricking good bros. Every week is a banger.

Last VS episode adapted one of the best manga chapters of all time, and it was pure kino

Isekai Ojisan finally aired its last episode. Haven't watched it yet but that show is my guilty pleasure and an alright comedy

That AoT episode/special was hype I guess, but it kinda came out of nowhere and no one talked about it?? Plus the next part is like 8 months away? Stupid release strategy

Need to catch up on Nier & In/Spectre

Tokyo Revengers is unbelievably r-slurred now. The main character's super power is literally being a crybaby b-word gigasimp. The Baji-kun arc last season was kino. The show suffers without him, Mikey, or Draken being central to the plot

Outside of the usual (Vinland, nier which are still going strong) I started Bungou Stray Dogs or something like that. Seems decent and with somewhat original setting but not really phenomenal or ground breaking so far (though I heard it becomes truly good in season 2)

Slowly dredged my way through spy x family this week. I dont get how it got so popular.

Thankfully anons finally finished:

>[Isekai] Futoku no Guild (Immoral Guild) (Full Batch) (BD 1080p FLAC) (Director's Cut Extended Edition)

so I will have something good to watch next.

watched Neo Ranga, show that got bad reviews because it was marketed as an action show when really it is a slice of life. a monster called ranga follows 3 girls from bali to japan, people aren't happy that its smashing up the place, then the military comes and smashes up the place even more, the people take ranga's side and declare their part of town independent from japan and an extension of bali, lots of brown people move in.

then a bunch of pagans take over the government, who try to get rid of filthy western influences by putting pagan symbolism in all media and advertisements, starting hitler youth clubs, getting everyone mad at all the brown people living in rangatown and trying to get rid of christianity by banning christmas and making people worship trees.

it does have some good action, but only towards the end of the show.

also this (below) was made by the director of serial experiments lain, though lain was merely a watered down version made for the plebs. this is true kino.

Just finished Call of The Night, didn't expect much, and it turns out it was pretty good, really hoping for s2. That being said, the age difference between Yamori and Nazuna is a bit... to use zoomerspeak: sus.

The same week I finished part 6 of JoJo. Not my favourite part, but definitively doesn't deserve its bad rep.

Right now I'm deciding what to watch next. I plan to finish Edgerunners. After watching ep. 6 I took a breather, and I should probably jump back in now, before I start to forget things.

Highly recommend it btw.

no

Boobs

Also tits

Im watching DanMachi cause my taste is shit. Vinland saga too I guess cant wait for the arc.

Rewatching Monogatari

I started rewatching kaiji because george_floyd said it was his favorite anime. It’s pretty good tbh

I’m excited for the new Naruto Ultimate Ninja Storm game coming out

Coom s*x s*x
