!weebs who read manga

After some years of weekly publishing and getting hyper popular via the anime, oshi no ko finally ended.

And it's a level equal to MHa cuck ending.

IDFC about spoilers or any shit so heres it underneath

basically

||Aqua kills himself and the one main villain cute twink and spent three chapters in a drawn out death scene basically calling himself r-slurred, one of them being an alternate vision where he wasn't murked and ruby didn't die of cancer and he became a fan when she followed her idol dream.

Then it just shows all the characters sad about him being dead and then the last chapter is them all happy moving on and getting better. ||

The shit was so trash, the chapters before it were a completely different tone, unrelated and just slice of life looking shit since the plot took a pause. Then randomly frickin dead.

Wasnt in the mood to continue any of the shows I started recently, so instead I started to rewatch Tsugumomo. I wish they made a third season

!anime

@Merryvann pin pls

!anime

On my first rewatch and just got to episode with Zero Two's flashback.

Why don't they make more like it. The soundtrack, the pacing. End was r-slurred but that's par for course for gaynime anyway.

Didnt watch a lot, but I did start 'Gimai Seikatsu', so far it seems okay but a bit pretentious. Will probably keep watching.

@Aevann pin pls there are no anime girls

Mysterious event revealed, now everyone wants it to be a movie lul

The United Nations Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination Against Women (CEDAW) has reportedly expressed concerns about Japanese media and the speculated impact it could have on gender and s*x-based violence.

According to free speech advocate and politician Yamada Taro, the Japanese Cabinet Office Gender Equality Bureau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the contents of their meeting with CEDAW. However nothing further was said about the current state of Japanese media.

The Japanese government has been thankfully slow to respond to external pressure when it comes to censorship of Japanese media. Although the same cannot be said for its corporations, but for the time being free speech remains enshrined in Japanese law with few exceptions.

You can read Taro's post regarding CEDAW's pressure to censor anime and manga below, we'll include a translation via Google.

On October 29, the Committee on the Elimination of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW) published its "Concluding Observations on Japan's Ninth Periodic Report."

This was prepared following a face-to-face review of the "Ninth Report on the Implementation of the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women," which was held on October 17th.

In this final opinion, Concerns were expressed that "pornography, video games, manga and other animated products may incite violence against women and girls based on gender or sexual orientation."

It further recommended "effectively implementing existing legal measures and monitoring programs to address the production and distribution of pornography, video games and animation products that reinforce discriminatory gender stereotypes and reinforce sexual violence against women and girls.

"However, the government (the Cabinet Office Gender Equality Bureau and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs) has confirmed the content of the face-to-face screening, but no questions were asked about "manga, anime, and games." Despite not being checked during the face-to-face screening, the company expressed its concerns.

This one-sided content denies the freedom of expression in manga, anime, and games, and calls for them to be cornered through legal action and surveillance, which is extremely unjust.

We will consider requesting that the sources and grounds be disclosed, and also requesting a retraction if this is not possible.

Yamada Taro is well known for his stance against censorship, and originally ran on a platform which emphasized his desire to protect anime, manga, and other forms of media from government censorship and foreign pressure.

I wasn't planning on checking it out initially because remakes are rarely done well and to be sure this one is indeed not as good as the original. BUT it is not a bland remake like the Kenshin remake or Urusei Yatsura remake . It has a cutesy style and its pacing is arguably better than the original. It's more manga accurate which I think helps a lot with the pacing. It's also pretty refreshing to see an MC with some personality in a romcom for once.

Some negatives:

1. The nudity that Ranma 1/2 is famous for is neutered. We are given this weird Barbie doll anatomy which is just awkward.

2. The music is lacklustre . It's not bad, just adequate.

3. Do not expect action choreography like this (although, some of other smaller fights are well animated)

4. While I do like the pacing overall, some moments should've been given more breathing room like they were in the original .

Still overall, it's a pretty fun watch. I suggest you guys check it out .
