Nobody there wants to unionize?

I doubt it's worse now than it was before for manga authors. I think it is shitty but sustainable, which is why it's still going. It's not like there's no way to draw something closer to your own pace either given series like Berserk and Hellsing; it just means more money if you rush em.

Skimming through new One Piece chapters, it does look like decades of this are catching up to Oda & his assistants. Maybe it's nostalgia speaking on some level but I doubt it's entirely that; I really don't recall it being this sketchy and simplified before. Hell I have old volumes lying around now and it didn't.

I think there's a lot of respect for the administrative side of things in Jump. Partly for valid reasons (their editors do historically offer good advice and have good taste & standards) and partly cuz they don't wanna rock the boat over the legit bad parts.

modernity is cool fuck that reactionary trash miyazaki

>>15846
People like you are everything wrong with anime culture.

>>16132
Fuck you, western imperialist dog. Your "modernity" is demonic death and destruction disguised as "progress" and "democracy"

>>16548
What the fuck

>>15846
nice

TV Lupin is full of well animated episodes. Green, Red, Pink, all have great work.

>>16492
The last few episodes of red jacket has some really strong animation. The bank heist episodes and the two miyazaki eps look movie-quality

>>16108
hmm

kanye, the Black Stirner, was a fan of Lupin III, so it checks out

>>16540
>Kanye even gave himself Lupin hair

Is this the root of his madness? He just wants to be a rubbery horny cartoon man but the laws of reality forbid his desire?

>>16526
Touhou popularity proves Yukari is fucking real.

>>16526
a lot of cute girls in frilly dresses and a sort of interesting lore that re-elaborates on east asian folklore and religions.
Personally, I don't even care about the official games.

>>16527
What are some good ones?

>>16543
Gradius II
Image Fight
Darius Gaiden
Armed Police Batrider
Hellsinker

I don't know why we're talking about this on the /anime/ board.

>>16526
there are also the cyoa threads. i enjoyed reading the archive of assm https://www.touhou-project.com/storylist#111

Fall is ours bros

>Pop team epic 2
Must've missed that one. Indeed. What a promising season.

>>16194
don't forget about golden kamuy 4
i'm so fucking pumped for more winter treasure hunting kino i love this series so much

I'm watching Made in Abss and the Vampire one. Pretty good so far.

>>16207
How can you be pumped for that censored secondary garbage? The manga exists and does the job just fine. If you've seen even a second of the anime, you didn't experience the kino.

copypasta saved

congrats, you are now a WIZAD, you are officially old enough to be the go to guy for the true con idiots to get booze/smokes/etc
but remember, over half the good looking cosplayers and gals are UNDERAGE TO THE EXTREME
but they don't care, they just want to get in there, have fun, make clips to share online, talk smack about your old ass, etc
you are TOO OLD, to hook up at a con anymore unless the woman you are talking to is also as old(easy to tell if they are not mentally broken)

Just remember, a convention is there to
1) Buy shit that you can actually see/handle in real life and not get fucked over by false reviews and trick photography/touchups.
2) Get convention exclusives(less than half are worth it, but still worth it)
3) Talk anime in real life, in the open without being swatted/losing your job/embarrassing yourself(too badly)
4) Talk to those who voice the anime's, make the animes, import/produce the animes, get signatures, cells(if they still animate without computers), and show your geekiness off for fun(remember you are the old one now, remember that old anime that for some reason would actually take off now?? SHARE IT/NAME DROP!!)

A tank convention would be all about guys/gals talking about tanks, buying tank related things, watching tank movies/skits/plays/dressup. Driving a tank in a special pay for service, and more. The only difference is that conventions have a clear age related divide, those under 25 are the con goers that can do almost anything(19 or younger can and will TRY to do everything) and those above 25 are generally there to talk to people the same age, talk the shit, exchange contact info, and will generally RUN the thing themselves.

Don't be a groomer.

lol awesome

If you seriously watched Kimetsu no Yaiba, one of the warmest most empathetic recent anime, and assumed that speech is meant to be 100% the author's intended message of the work you're pretty dumb.

Its emotional core is empathy and familial ties, both literal and metaphoric.

Most shounen manga have this weird fascination with integrating Neo-Darwinism into their worldbuilding to the point where it basically becomes detached from reality, most shounen animes usually center around some sort of supernatural powers being used in wars (My hero, Jujitsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer). Practically all of them phase out evolutionary genetics or anything short of mysticism by making these powers only attainable via inheritance and nothing else. Very shitty writing. Not only does modern Shounen anime appeal to the most normal and mainstream audience and being totally forgettable and dissimilar, but they also fucking fail at basic genetics. Powers in anime shouldn't just be mostly attained via muh inheritance but should also be subject to evolutionary change during the metabolization of the environment, and subsequent evolution of new traits/powers, just like how practically all living species on earth make qualitative changes in their lives.

Tl;dr shounen anime is fascist

>>16237
funny then that none of your exemple except demon slayer work that way
MHA is about the near entirety of humanity (it's supposed to be 80%,but it's easy to forget when the author doesn't do anything with it) having random powers and some of them being deemed good enough by an arbitrary ranking boss fight to make them heroes (the entire start of the series even talked about how unfair the focus was on powerful physical powers etc,but it was also badly written if you remember half of the students being incapable of actually winning the robot fight,and now it devolved into end of naruto bullshit and every hero being a private cop isn't even adressed anymore or just in passing and handwaved)
for Jujustu Kaisen,one of the strongest characters is because of their lack of genetic inheritance,the MC has powers because he's possessed by the strongest demon that ever existed,and every family shit on the respective characters as "not belonging to the clan",one of them is litterally a spirit robot built by someone who then made it his son,pretty much all the families are deeply disfunctiunal and it's honestly quite dark and pessimistic on the family question,where they all end up killing each other or losing one or more relatives.
For Demon Slayer,the MC isn't strong because of his family,one of the character litteraly lived in nature and trained there,but I do agree that a lot are descended from old slayers (but it make sense,because they're the one who trained their children) it's not necesserally about their bloodline except for the thunder guy,where yes,he wouldn't have his power without being born from his family.
I do agree that powers that you can only inherit is pretty lame,but that's Dragon Ball Z+Super you're talking about (or AoT,but it's subverted when talking about the Hackerman,and the time travel bullshit)

that's just your run of the mill edgy japanese thing

I remember reading some hentai and the girl just remarked out of the blue "wow you actually have a job? guess you're really an adult productive memeber of society huh"

asiatics are weird man

>>16258
Can't even jerk the gerkin without capitalist dogma :disappointed:

The ideals of isekai are inspired by capitalist realism in general

>>16354
just like real life

>>16351
Not to mention that adventurer guilds are historically absurd. It's just modern late-capitalist japan re-imagining itself as a feudal fantasy land, and all the trappings of magic and elves and shit only lightly cover what is in fact a very depressing genre, in which "freedom" is pretty much just freedom to live your old alienated life except this time you have superpowers and hot chicks following you for no discernible reason.

>>16105
I don't want current SHAFT to finish SZS. That boat sailed long ago…

>>16105
Kinda funny in retrospect that they didn't think to include P&S season 2.

Considering how shitty the Lucifer and the Biscuit Hammer anime ended up being I wouldn't be so "hyped".

>>16286
Never thought the manga was anything special myself.

>tfw read Tomo-chan in real time on 4chans /a/ board
I remember a beach arc where anons absolutely thought that there was gonna be NTR lmao

Annnnnd of course he's part of the LDP.

>>16317
If you want a seat, the LDP is the party for you.

>>16287
well Love Hina represents the death of human creativity so it makes perfect sense he's become a bourgeois politician
