Started watching 'Giji Harem', its alright so far, but it feels more like a shortform with how short the 'plots' are. Didnt watch any more of the russian girl show so far, though I will probably finish it.

>Sword Art Online Alternative Gun Gale Online is getting a season 2

>SAO Alternative Gourmet Seekers volume 2 is getting a volume 2 soon

The year of SAO is upon us.

got a concealed along with a few triple suit hands the other night irl and i'm not sure if i'll be invited back to the suburban moms group anymore

I am so tired of people saying that Frieren is a good show. It sucks. Are people so lost these days that they think a 5 out of 10 show has Breaking Bad levels of writing? Maybe not normies but in the anime world so many meh/10 shows get tons of attention and praise.

How many…

Seriously, they had some of the best action scenes, well developed characters, gripping storylines. Nothing nowadays goes anywhere or really grabs you like the Big Three

Started watching 'Tokidoki Bosotto Russia-go de Dereru Tonari no Alya-san', so far its...okay I guess, though I kinda got tired of the shtick by episode two and wanted him to tell her he understands her. Apart from that it seems like it will be a generic romcom show.

(translator's note: keikaku means plan)

Except for the insane amounts of plot armor the main chick has.

The T-800 literally punches in holes in the rest of those Chinamen, but when it comes to "Not-Kyle Reese that happens to have a gussy?" Just a few bruises and scrapes.

Get elbowed in the spine? She's OK.

Have a 400KG killing machine dangle from your leg? Nothing undoing a bootlace cant fix.

Other than that 8/10 show, better than any other piece of Terminator related media in the past decade.

I feel like Death Note is the most similar !anime to Breaking Bad I've watched. A dude finds a gateway into sneaky crime under a new identity and becomes addicted to the power and thrill of it while trying to hide his illicit activity from his family, carefully manipulating someone else to serve as their partner, keeping close to the cops but gets caught and dies at the end anyways.

No I didn't actually watch it before linking it, someone let me know wtf they were doing with this

thats all

If you woke up this morning hoping to catch up on One Piece or maybe some Jujutsu Kaisen episodes on your favorite illegal streaming site, you probably had a rude awakening. You probably discovered that the site doesn't exist anymore.

That's because Japan and Brazil teamed up to obliterate 16 of the biggest illegal streaming sites on the Internet because they dared to stream anime.

Japan has been steadfast in its fight against anime piracy. And it makes sense why. It's one of their biggest cultural exports and rakes in billions of dollars a year, and they'd probably be making a lot more if these sites didn't exist. So, they collaborated with Brazilian authorities on a special operation called "Operation Animes."

The first phase of the operation, in February and March 2023, resulted in the closure of 36 anime pirating sites. The second phase has been underway since September 2023 and has been responsible for the closure of 16 another sites, including Aniwave aka 9anime. Three of the site takedowns were reportedly following criminal charges by Toei Animation, Toho, and Bandai Namco Filmworks.

The whole operation has been spearheaded by an organization called CODA, or the Content Overseas Distribution Association. Based in Japan, the organization enacts countermeasures against global piracy of Japanese media, mostly anime and manga. All of this coincides with a Brazilian antipiracy initiative launched in 2019 called "Operation 404" which aims to cease the operations of piracy sites, apps, and social media accounts.

Brazilian authorities conducted "knock and talk" raids of the site owners' premises. Eleven of the sites were voluntarily surrendered by their operators. The sites now redirect to a CODA page announcing their closure.

One has to wonder how effective these operations are going to be, considering that piracy sites are a dime a dozen. It's essentially a giant game of Internet whack-a-mole. You can take down 16 of them---but will another 50 quickly take their place?

I don't watch anime but chappy got banned so I'll take up the mantle
