Anime Thigh Thread II

[Suicidal Panda]

It's worth the watch, entertaining throughout.

30 minutes in and I'm assuming that he's only talking from the eyes of the anime seeing as how a lot of his "guesses" are explained in the LN...and that alone would counter ~70% of his arguments

And a minute later it goes into GGO...which I don't enjoy either.

It's funny that Yunru just linked a Gigguk video as I was just coming to link one myself:



I have come to really appreciate Gigguk as an anime reviewer/'thinker'. Not in terms of actual agreement of taste, mind you. Or even in how we view things ought to be analyzed or understood. It isn't for those reasons that I endorse him. Instead it is the fact that he has a certain simple vibrancy and earnestness to his views. You can see it in his content: his first goal is to enjoy something, causing him to look for the positive elements first rather than always laying a groundwork for why it is fundamentally flawed. He doesn't have that same pedantic aura many other reviewers have while at the same time at least giving some measure of support for his views.

In any case, the point is I liked the video and recommend people watch it (even when I didn't actually agree with much of it due to my own neuroscience-based cynicism).

I am mostly trashing anime with fan-service tho.
Fairy Tail (2014) OVA 2 for example that came out in sub today.
First 5 min were trash.

Just as you indulge in Gigguk's works for his more optimistic oriented persperctives, the same is applicable for those who view Digibro and friends. They're not overall entertaining or informative necessarily, but their ostentatious and derisive attitudes are what keep people coming back. At least I can say they are somewhat articulate and make for contentious discussions.

I agree with what he's saying, but I couldn't finish the video because of the anime in question. I swear, by the time I watch this movie I'm going to start it expecting a literal miracle in animated form.

Chihayafuru 175 - Finally, the TV special airs. Wonder how long the hiatus will be.

My problem is I provide enough of the disapproval all on my own. Listening to somebody actually liking, and defending liking in an articulate fashion, many things I utterly pan is what makes it so engaging.

I would second that sentiment (except I did finish the video). That + the Koe no Katachi movie are both still on my to-see list, and I anticipate both of them...I just don't know when I'll have the chance.

Been watching Nisekoi with the gf and we're both really enjoying it. Since she seems to like Shaft's style, I'll likely show her Madoka or Monogatari next.

Commie subs for Nisekoi are amazing and really add a lot to the show.

Random real life kinda question...

Would getting this for a really good friend that had the same sort of experience (though she went the opposite end of the "size" spectrum) be a touch too insensitive?

Depends on the friend and what's in the book I guess.

Honestly at a glance, it almost comes off as "nothing can be fixed without magic", but I imagine they're gonna twist it another way with true acceptance being the best cure, but I don't know.

I gave my friend a Tracer pop for her birthday/Christmas

[Jester Joe]

Yeah, it does seem to be like that, honestly. Sort of a "love yourself" thing, as the title says. Seeing the complete thing would be a massive benefit. I may get it and then just decide after I read it. Can always sell it or something lol

True.
I mean, it does seem interesting, but also a bit risky since we don't know the exact contents. Otherwise, like I said, also depends on your friend and how willing they are to look their issues in the face and take them on.

As a fat man, I wouldn't be offended if I received that gift if it from was a very close friend. If just a "regular" friend, maybe I would. Probably not, but...yeah.

I might find it a bit uncomfortable, though.

[Jester Joe]

It's a past issue now, she's doing amazingly well. She's fully aware of what happened and why and so on. Though, I guess this could end up just serving as some kind of awkward reminder of things.

Meh, I'll leave it for now lol I'm sure I'll be able to get it in the future somehow if I change my mind.

Oh, yeah ends up in that limbo of "awkward reminder" or "encouraging reminder of how far she's gone since then".


Also, regarding Steins;Gate 0, slight spoilers, but it's a question about Steins;Gate in general more of - did I miss something in the original, whether it was the game or the show, because in 0 Daru flat out says several times he does many illegal things in his "job", while it seemed like he was just a simple hacker in the original. I mean, hacking SERN is pretty much the top of the cake in terms of being illegal, but he was hesitant even at first. But in 0, he's just like "Oh, yeah, illegal stuff, oh well, keep it secret guys". He also seems a LOT more perverted than before, it might just be the fact that he actually plays a larger part than before

I mean, he even has several hideouts. What.

[icedwarrior]

I'd respond to your S;G 0 message(s), Joe, but I've yet to play it. I'm gonna replay the original VN, and then try and get around to, er, getting it for PC.

Sadness.

It's a small thing honestly in terms of the actual plot. Almost insignificant even, but yeah, definitely don't want to spoil anything on you.
