>>550 a beautiful story that touched my heart.

>>533 Does Nekopara count? Yes... I am a degeneracy man.

>>607 Is it fun? I suppose it's a moege?

>>482 Thank you dumpanon. I sorta plan on following in your footsteps once I get a stable Internet connection in a month.

Haven't seen the manga in a while, remember alien child. Got scared when i saw the anime because i thought they would butcher it. I think its a good adaptation, but your never gonna draw the monster as weirdly good as the mangaka. It almost felt like Junji Ito's drawings on certain chapters, and i wont be surprised if inspiration was taken.

>>608 the author has impressive art autism, the detail is a sight to behold.

>>566 Dandadan would definitely have been one of them but I already know what the manga is like (not my cup of tea). But I might still check out some episodes to check out the direction/animation choices. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LM6RhRm2GQM Wow, Kiznaiver's opening is so cool, never seen anything like it. (Honey and Clover's opening is pretty unique too though.) The song reminded me of some of Owl City's more techno songs.

>>566 Tokyo Ghoul https://animethemes.moe/anime/tokyo_ghoul/OP1-NCBD1080

>>587 Dandadan is very fresh in whatever combined genre it gave birth to and using Creepy Nuts, who are well known for making unique openings was a great choice to make something hard to describe. Dandadans opening is like a unique sour food you never had before and each time you try it you find new stuff you enjoy. This is a really great post! (Check out "TVアニメ「マッシュル-MASHLE-」第2期ノンクレジットOPムービー｜Creepy Nuts「Bling-Bang-Bang-Born」" as an example of their music if you haven't seen it already. Found out about it because it was a meme on japan's youtube) >>595 Tokyo Ghoul is a classic!! The openings beginning with those impossibly high pitched vocals that cause me voice cracks every time i half drunkenly sing along. This song feels like every noise and every drawing was deliberately thought about and you can feel the exact emotion they wanted you to feel. This song will never get old. Thank you for replying to a random internet user!! I genuinely wish you well.

I just picked it up today. I'm surprised at how quickly things seem to be moving along. I haven't watched any romcoms except Makeine in the past, must be three or four years, so I don't know if actually things moving along quickly is normal these days, but they're not shouting or slapping each other constantly and they seem to genuinely be interested in creating some kind of relationship? I'm surprised. Is this normal for modern romcoms, am I misinterpreting and jumping to conclusions, or is this just one of those rare series that actually gets somewhere and has a clear beginning, middle, and end?

>>541 Well Makeine is a LN and this is a Jump manga so there's already that difference. But for Jump romcoms even though this one aims to be grounded, one common point is they tease big events at the start to not get axed and then they start branching out into the friend of a friend's substory and shit gets slow haha. Well, in 2024 I think people wouldn't swallow a new rom-com with that exact same formula though, so some events DO happen relatively early in Blue Box, compared to like, bokuben or nisekoi.

>>576 I'm just thinking that maybe the audience for romcoms has changed. Even Makeine which is just trashy romcom harem # 1451925 is a lot more, how do I say, stable? Features more emotionally mature characters? I dunno, I guess I'll watch/read some other popular romcoms too, it's just a feeling I've gotten.

Nothing will beat how bad the ending of Attack on Titan was.

>>553 Eh, I thought it was decent for what it was.

>>553 Attack on Titan's ending - I felt nothing except occasional cringe. Jujutsu Kaisen - I didn't even keep reading the final arc. Attack on Titan was better throughout. Way better for most of it and then somewhat better to the end

New cover!

I thought One Piece had entered its final arc last year. Is it still not done?

>>544 Looks like it's more of a "final saga" which will comprise of several islands (arcs)

>>504 He WILL finish the boat arc. I believe!

>>504 Don't jinx it!!

Our prince.

>>522 If you're up for the challenge learn calligraphy. This image was made back to front. First that water art was added then on a separate layer they used Latin Calligraphy to get the specific font for "Tekno" then they used a unique rule of 3rds to get the logo and stars while using a backdrop overlaying the previous font

how to get like this water art ? In photshop

>>536 I would study far out ocean images that don't show sediments like dirt or sand under them. Textures are very difficult when learning them but can be easily applied over many practices

>>362 Ooh! Good thread. Fairy Tail's OP/EDs are so soulful! I listen to them all the time. Yeah, Bling Bang Bang Born and modern "noisy" music can be nice but I miss the 00s-10s SOUL. To add one, Bleach's OPs/EDs and soundtrack (even though I only really read the manga) go so hard! I remember catching the Ichigo vs Grimmjow episode once, the one with all the punches and the music brought me to tears. Dunno what the OST is called but here it is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xms-0MwdIao

>>362 I only consider one anime's OST to be truly peak. The rest of my favorites range from good to great. Vidya was my first love, anime/manga was my second, only TTGL can compete with the best of the best though in my opinion.

>>309 It's gonna be a Yami/Nacht chapter right??

Just 1 month left!!! Maybe less!!

Who's your favorite character everyone? For me it's Nacht I think. And yuno is underrated.

>>463 Did it get worse??

People seem to hate it but i cant get enough, i love gamedev and the writing us fun so far

>>473 That's nice to hear, gonna jump back into it after a few more weeks.

>>181 >I didn't get Rosario vibes at all though? Human goes to demon school, befriends multiple really strong demons, collects a harem (bisexual) >I doubt a "one good chapter out of 10" manga can survive in weekly shonen jump There was a recent arc where make an art exhibition, took two volumes to see how it ends. I realize that sounds like a dumb thing to complain about when One Piece arcs can take two years to resolve, but it really does feel like Nishi does a lot of padding.

>>189 Ah, I see. I was thinking more in terms of the tone and execution since that matters more in the long run for survivability. > There was a recent arc where make an art exhibition, took two volumes to see how it ends. I realize that sounds like a dumb thing to complain about when One Piece arcs can take two years to resolve, but it really does feel like Nishi does a lot of padding. Gotcha...

Why does someone keep spamming the dark girl collage on 4/a/ lol. Is it the guy who's proud his race is finally getting representation so he's doing that as part of his regular WSJ spamming?

>>210 I bet some anon got a huge hardon from that scene

>>236 Wouldn't most anons be more into tying up Tokiyuki and not vice-versa? It'd take a REALLY masochistic subby anon to want a little shota to take advantage of them like that.

I'm a few episodes behind. I hope the cour ended with a bang!

lol why is he so mean to his sister...

Another watchalong on Oct 12! https://rentry.org/rozenmaidenrentry

>>376 I'm gonna read the chapter tonight and share my thoughts!

>>400 Reporting in Halfway through the chapter and what the fuck this is such a cool reveal. And during the nen teaching session too!! Will continue reading when I get home

>>400 Holy fuck, this is one of the best chapters in so long. Each batch is good ofc but this one probably beats every chapter in the previous batch. He upped the complexity so much in just one chapter!! Now we have even more "landmines". Kill the wrong person and a prince straight up dies, that's insane. And I love how they're building up Beyond like this. If Togashi can deliver even half of what he's setting up this is bound to become the peak of literature.
