Gurren Lagann (and general Gainax/Trigger) thread Anonymous 12/07/2022 (Wed) 20:15:20 No. 1411 [Reply] [Last]
I just want a thread where I can wax on about my favorite anime is all. Here's downloads to the best fansubs for ep 1-19 (group died at 19), and my edited fansubs for 20-27 for the few people who somehow haven't watched the anime yet. https://www.mediafire.com/file/q02b6vjcvi9ovkz/Tengen_Toppa_Gurren_Lagann_ORDER.rar/file https://www.mediafire.com/file/fpgmj9mxtsupnm4/TTGL_hardsubs_20-27.rar/file I'm less interested in other Trigger/Gainax stuff (though I still like some of them a lot like Eva and KLK. and intend to watch Gunbuster soon and maybe Cutie Honey), but if people wanna talk about the other works here, that's fine too.

>>2458 as russian guy who has insane official gurren lagann dub by AniDubs that stands to the test of time, I don't have issues with torrenting it lol. The fun part about third world shitholes like mine is that there are mijllions of torrent sites not blocked by anyone and crazy quite communities, plus superb dub when they want it though.
>>1425 I recommend it. It's not the BIG NEXT THING that people try to make it be but it's a nice read

For anyone who watched Little Witch Academia tvanime series during its airing, what was the general consensus? I watched it last year, including the films afterwards (still have the manga to finish) but it left me wonder how much of the show got either scrapped or changed at the last minute. Especially since I see lots of discussion of LWA's main flaws being either the male characters or the 2nd half having, if not one of the most retarted villain Trigger had spawned.

what made it so good despite it's flaws? I tried many shitty obscure mangas, and only this I enjoyed
>>729 Bold, constant pacing. Weird characters that mashed well together. Constant tone changes between despair and hopefulness. It was just the author blasting through what he felt was the most interesting stuff he wanted to show without worrying too much about character development, setting explanations and such.

4chan refugee. My thread was pruned from the Otaku Culture board and anime & manga board. Which is quite frankly retarded I am Aniconomics. Feel free to follow me on twitter and submit more flag designs for me to remaster in this thread. This crying emoji PNG is popular in the lolicon community. I made an alternative version without the puddle.

>Aquaplus President and Key Co-Founder Justify Censorship as Vital for Global Market Reach and Revenue https://archive.fo/lTizR <“With the Japanese market shrinking, Steam’s massive global player base is crucial,” Shimokawa explained. He pointed out that Japan’s once-strong visual novel market is in decline, forcing companies like Aquaplus and Key to sanitize themselves for international sales. <Shimokawa remains defiant in principle, even if reality demands compromise. When discussing the ToHeart remake, he made it clear that the core emotion “the bittersweetness of youth” was more important than following trends like making protagonists more mild-mannered. “If we made them milder, it wouldn’t be ToHeart,” he argued, drawing inspiration from Steven Spielberg’s regret over editing E.T. <To make matters worse, Nintendo of America has begun systematically blocking Japanese titles from the Switch simply for containing suggestive imagery, whether it’s a bath scene, implying nudity or even a simple kiss.

Bungo Stray Dogs Anonymous 03/28/2023 (Tue) 20:58:09 No. 2975 [Reply]
I understand the hype around Fyodor and he's pretty smart but consider this. Fyodor has had a lot of time to plan and plot and he also has a lot of resources at his disposal and he's strong. But being able to make a puzzle is not the and may not be as difficult as having to solve a puzzle. He's had initiative of setting up the plot and he may be able to catch others in some traps but, after all those advantages are up, he'll be on an even playing field. Ranpo has always went into every puzzle blind and can still hold out and win in the end. Ranpo has also been playing by his own restrictions but if he set those aside. Ranpo might not seem flashy and the best right now but they have very different ways of operating. Ranpo might seem at a disadvantage now but it's not at the time in the game when he scales yet. He will definitely wreck Fyodor and carry later. Believe in the best boy!
>>2975 what do you think about him now anon
>>5287 Fyodor? He's pretty cool and pretty OP. Ranpo? It's all part of the plan. He's probably not dead yet. Probably acted like he was a step late so Fyodor let his guard down. Or he couldn't know his ability what so ever but he still figured out what he was up to in an instant. Fyodor has much more resources but already showed his trump card so there are not many surprises he can pull. With no more tricks to play, Ranpo will win in the end.

I Need Some Loli Ecchi Loli Ecchi 08/18/2020 (Tue) 04:50:46 No. 197 [Reply]
I am looking for some loli ecchi. I watched all of Kodomo no Jikan and Moetan (and KissxSis, but that's not focused on lolis), and now I need some more. I would prefer the fanservice to be from lolis in compromising positions and revealing clothes (and swimsuits) rather than innuendo towards sex acts (i.e. pretending a plastic tube with milk is a semen-filled condom). Please give me some good ecchis, thank you.

>>3402 I watched season two episode nine today and found the loli fanservice at the end very good.
I watched Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha's first and second season, as well as the film retelling of the first season. Most of the fanservice in the first season wasn't arousing for me, but the third picture in this post http://4usoivrpy52lmc4mgn2h34cmfiltslesthr56yttv2pxudd3dapqciyd.onion/loli/res/5314.html#5643 I find arousing. I didn't notice any fanservice at all in the second season As. I found the transformation scenes in the first film quite hot and I think when Nanoha transforms out of her magical girl outfit into her normal clothes the shot focused on her bottom is quite hot too. I think I will watch the film version of the second season. Also, I started watching Vividred Operation and found it quite good. There is a lot of focus on lolis' bottoms which is what I am into. Is there anything else?

Post about a series that you just finished Anonymous 07/29/2020 (Wed) 17:37:30 No. 181 [Reply] [Last]
Time to make this thread again. Here's an archive of the last thread on 8kunt: https://archive.vn/EAtrt So, I decided to drop UFO Senshi Dai Apolon after 17 episodes. It's not a bad series, it's okay, but I just grew bored with the show. The premise is that Takeshi is the prince of a planet that was conquered by the Dazaan Army, and was sent to Earth as a baby in order to ensure his survival. He then grows up in an orphanage, and gains a passion for American football while living there. Then, on his 16th birthday, he is struck by a meteor that imbues him with the Key Energy power that his planet's people had developed as their "ultimate weapon". Takeshi and his friends are then abducted by his guardian, Rabi, who informs him of his origin and gives him and his friends a giant robot, Dai Apolon, and several UFOs in order to fight off the Dazaan Army and protect the Key Energy that now reside within Takeshi. The rest of the series then details the Dazaan Army's various attempts to gain the Key Energy along with trying to figure out the true identity Dai Apolon's pilot. The series boils down to three different episode were something effects the "UFO Boy Scouts" on a personal level, some outsider gets involved in the fights, or the leaders of the Dazaan Army are trying out one of their various "just created" super-weapons to defeat Dai Apolon. It's pretty formulaic, and it just feels like an attempt to sell toys. There are some moments in the series were it does decide to get a little bit more "mature" with it's premise as innocent people are dying during some of the episodes, but it feels like it's there just to be there and show how "evil" the villains are (As if mass genocide and enslavement across the galaxy wasn't reason enough). And, the show never really moves beyond that. There are a few times were the Dazaans do some espionage and end up kidnapping the wrong people thinking they have times to Dai Apolon, along with some general rivalries and tensions taking place within the various generals of the Dazaan Army, but it never really moves beyond that or does anything unique with it. As for the animation, the art is fine but the show feels very stilted and limited in it's animation. And, with the audio, there really isn't much music to speak of, the sound effects are great, but all the voices sound like the characters are always shouting no matter what they say. Overall, I wasn't really that impressed with UFO Senshi Dai Apolon. Like I said, it isn't a bad series, but I just grew too bored with it to the point that I didn't care about finishing it off.

>>4541 Didn't know it had an animation.
>>4541 >>4554 Supernatural: The animation's made 6 years after Supernatural, Eric Kripke created both. It's 22 episodes, Supernatural's 327. 12 episodes adapted from the first 2 seasons of Supernatural, the other 10 were original.
I finished the first season of Megalobox yesterday. Nowhere near as good as Ashita No Joe, but I liked it enough to want to give season 2 a go. Will start it later today.

Mistakes in English Manga Releases Anonymous 04/22/2021 (Thu) 22:50:45 No. 392 [Reply] [Last]
This is mostly just for my own archival purposes but if anyone else has found mistakes in manga volumes they've bought, in english, then feel free to drop them. What I got range from typos to missing letters to printing errors. First two are from Demon Slayer. The third is from The Promised Neverland. The fourth is Levius/est & the fifth one is from Sekiro Side Story: Hanbei the Undying. Speaking of that last one, the error is that the woman they refer to is the boy's mother. Not his sister.

Kamen Rider Kuuga volumes 5 & 6. Missing choking dialogue or even ellipses. Two typos "oversize rubbish" & "xagain". This is the point I dropped the manga. Very poor handling of it. Dandadan volume 8. You can't use an apostrophe in a plural sense here. Trigun Deluxe. There should be a question mark instead of two exclamation marks.

Zom 100 volume 15. This one is special because it's just shit localization using internet zoomer slang like "mid" & "Chad". Dates it immediately & is definitely not faithful to the original text.
