It's very difficult managing work, special-needs cats, relationships, personal health, and home life. I'm strongly considering working as a part-time freelance tutor again, and the harassment and depravity goes deep in the field of education. I am not excited about the idea of working 2-3 pt jobs again, but my morning job just isn't going to pay the bills.

In other news, Sheila chewed almost all her sutures loose, and now she wears the bodysuit of shame as well as the cone, which she escapes easily.

Prayers requested. I know I'm trash, but I do my best for others. I figure that counts for something.

All /h/drama titles will now be honored in this hole.

That is all. May drama last a thousand years.

his old deviant art account gets hacked by soyparty and they fill it with cp

animesnob explains that he was doxxed with information he shared publicly, so people would send him free shit.

animesnob really hates this guy, has a whole series dedicated to him.

For those who don't know, Junji Ito is considered the master of horror manga. He's most famous for his body horror and lovecraftian stories about people struggling against unknown/unknowable forces. For years people have wanted to see faithful anime adaptions of Ito's work, which many studios have tried and failed.

Some examples and their scores on MAL:

The Junji Ito Collection 6.54/10

Junji Ito: Maniac 6.64/10

Gyo 5.33/10

For those who don't know, anything under a 7 on MAL is typically bad, and anything under 6 is garbage.

One of his most famous stories is Uzumaki, Japanese for swirl. From Wikipedia:

Uzumaki follows a high-school teenager, Kirie Goshima ; her boyfriend, Shuichi Saito; and the citizens of the small, quiet Japanese town of Kurouzu-cho (黒渦ー町, Black Vortex Town), which is enveloped by supernatural events involving spirals.

In 2019 an anime was announced for Uzumaki at the Crunchyroll expo. Here's the announcement thread on /r/anime.

Originally planned for release in 2020, it was delayed to 2021.

And then 2022.

And then indefinitely.

And then 2023.

But in 2024 it came, and it was glorious.

Drawn in black and white with rotoscoping, the first episode looked pretty good. A little rushed, but it received glowing reviews on /r/anime

I understand why the show took as long as it did. The pacing is a bit fast, but this is an incredible adaptation.

Man that was so good, unsettling, and creepy. I'm so excited for the rest of this.

Was anyone else grinning like a crazy person? Just me?

This is just terrific! I was surprised to realize they're adapting multiple stories simultaneously, but it makes sense. A lot of them take place over multiple days, so it's not crazy to think some are happening at the same time. I'm impressed at how organically they blended them together though.

even the crabs that infest nu-/a/ seemed to (mostly) enjoy it. So how did it look? Pretty decent I think:

Everyone was looking forward to the rest of the series (only 4 episodes by the way), and with bated breath, all awaited episodes 2. So how was episode 2 you ask?

Yeah, /r/anime is not happy https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/1fxayq1/uzumaki_episode_2_discussion/

I don't understand how this even happened. The anime was delayed three times, with it in total taking over 5 years from its announcement. Just to produce 4 episodes in black and white. Only for the animation to fall apart on the 2nd episode.

I was willing to overlook the extremely rapid pacing for good animation. As I knew, they only had 4 episodes but to get goofy animation and rapid pacing at the same time.

5-7 years in the makings and endless delays _"to make sure it lives up to the standards"_ and we get THIS? wtf? the lies. we're not even getting a full season but only 4 episodes, it's not that hard to keep the quality for this kind of short run.

I'm literally so devastated.

/a/ is clowning on it, as one would expect.

So how could this possibly happen?

So where do we go from here? I don't know, but thankfully there are only two episodes left, so we'll all be put out of our misery soon. If you want to follow along for this shit show, new episodes come out Saturday nights for the next two week

The stupid fricking format preview stopped working halfway through, so I have no idea how this post is actually going to look. If it's fricked then oh well, I'm supposed to be working right now so I might fix it later, there's some other things I want to add, so I'll do it then. This is my second try btw

I was considering getting a manga volume as a gift for a cousin but literally all the ones I hear are for kids and start reading(naruto, dragonball z) have ecchi sequences right in chapter 1 are Jap kids just extra perverted or is the culture different local kids media barely has any romcom stuff and even in American media at most you'll have light romcom. When I used to watch anime on TV I'd flip to cartoon network every time stuff like that happened cause my grandparents would be nearby He's 10 BTW, it'd probably not be very shocking to a kid with internet access but I don't like optics of his parents maybe flipping a few pages and seeing a naked(appropriately blurred) lady.

Watched some of Makeine, its okay I guess. Not much else, will finish that show in the coming days and then return to the russian girl show probably.

Who knew stargazing could be so exiting?

It's only showing the last hundred days in his history for some reason but I've found him in older threads like this going back even farther.

Autism? Paid shill? Genuine Boruto enthusiast? Not sure but I thought it was funny.

From raping pillaging barbarians mangay to hamfisted pacifism to random ery now. This one's mom turned it a so it wasn't made to go to battlefield like its based viking dad, just at thinking a 7 feet giant with a stubble doing that mannerism is cute tho. Very Scandinavian I suppose

Spy x Family for example is true native NTR.

Spies have to use his disguises to gather intelligence from old lusty generals, but the implication is that the true love will be born between MCs.
