Lamby

Lamby @momoichi oh yeah?

godspell @godspell I posted one just now and what it's about. By the way I posted a thread of Manga recommendations

godspell @godspell You're the only one who reads my recommendations. Someone trolled on my thread kinda sad

Lamby @momoichi nothing after ozzy still, but i saw a new one was out. i should catch it, i know

godspell @godspell I liked it. It's good blitz is a side plot that ties to the story. Moxie and millie are the focal point encouraging characterization of millie character

Lamby @momoichi tell me about that bathtub guy with the black hair. was he a kool/good character that led to a good story arc? (i need husbandos as motivation to read it again basically, and he looked cute/quirky)

godspell @godspell I actually love that character in the bathtub

Lamby @momoichi really? he a mainstay character or just apart of an arc?

godspell @godspell Not really a mainstay but you'll see him in the story with the cast. His ability not meant for fighting

godspell @godspell Can you believe that they told me Naruto did the demon inside trope better. Damn they really have no idea. Sakuna the baddest irredeemable fuck in the world. There's literally no way to redeem him.

Lamby @momoichi to be fair. i havent gotten very far in juju..... BUT naruto the original story was one of the best mangas of all time. but his bijuu being a good guy in the end was kinda ass. i hope they dont make sakuna some secret altruist. i want him yo stay an irredeemable blood thirst monster that has to be caged at all times. not every bad guy has to be sympathetic, specially a literal demon

godspell @godspell I like it. It means kurama the nine tails was a person full of hate never experiencing love besides from his master the sage of six paths.

Lamby @momoichi wait so he was just like the chainsaw devil? just wanted huggies and wuvies and bonded with denji over the lack of snuggies and kissies?

godspell @godspell Somewhat. I mean people hated him. He was the strongest of his siblings and they all hated him. He had no one. Until Naruto finally became his friend. I feel so sad he finally died you know?

Lamby @momoichi ayo i havent finished shippuden (wait isnt he in boruto? is this a boruto spoiler?)

godspell @godspell This is what I was obsessed with every week

Lamby @momoichi looks cute. havent been watchin anime lately, but ill keep it in mind when i do

godspell @godspell This was so very good for a slice of life

godspell @godspell You gonna watch season 2 of jujutsu kaisen? They're using new animation tools in the series it's crazy good

Lamby @momoichi yes ONLY because i wanna fuck toji so bad its eroding my sanity every second i am not actively straddling the man

godspell @godspell The animation for the first episode was amazing. The camera angles and animation are amazing

godspell @godspell One guy on Mai said jujutsu kaisen mid xD and one other said they don't want to take the time to read it. Omg they're missing out. Every week I listen to the Manga leaks that are translated on Twitter and YouTube

Lamby @momoichi to be honest i dropped and anime and manga on the tournament arch. was pretty boring. i got as far as the teacher guy telling them his power. it probz gets better, but to be honest chainsawman had a similar concept and totally outclassed it.

Lamby @momoichi the animation was really good, yeah. but the plot was pretty meh

godspell @godspell You mean the training exercise between the two classes? You again dropped it before the better parts of the story again+???

godspell @godspell Chainsawman and jujutsu are too different to even compare

Lamby @momoichi ugh i followed this one account on instagram (or tiktok?) where they fed this snail stuff. like gave him two options and see which he liked. but then the more i looked through the account, they were having the snail eat things they shouldnt eat... like spicy food, sugary food, salty food.... but seeing them eat is so cute...

Lamby @momoichi you ever see a snail lay eggs?

Ghost @kuharido I'll look it up

Lamby @momoichi was ist das?

godspell @godspell Issekai for DC but specifically suicide squad from wit studio

Lamby @momoichi i...

Lamby @momoichi oh shit wit? arent they actually a pretty good animation studio?

godspell @godspell I'm actually thinking this is so fun xD the trailer looks hype. And seeing them in a fantasy setting great. And yeah good studio

godspell @godspell You watch the trailer

Lamby @momoichi two things i hate most in media; isekais, and super heroes. i cant believe this would actually be good

godspell @godspell Isekais can be good. Superhero are also good. I just binged shy fuck bro that was a fun read. Also tiger and bunny man I love that anime

Lamby @momoichi eeeeeehhhhhhhhhh i mean, kumo desu ga nani ka was probz the only exceptional isekai. maybe you could say the same for overlord but i havent actually read those books (the knowledge i have of them is second hand bf sperg, theyr his favorite books) that satirical isekai manga that the mangaka of kakegurui made was REALLY promising, but isekai fans went psycho and made him apologize.

godspell @godspell Wasn't it the other authors bc he used those characters without permission?

Lamby @momoichi he parodied them. lucky star didnt have to make an apology for referencing other animes. isekai fans were pissed because he rightfully pointed out that these neet hikkikomori losers would 100% being psychotic rapists, not virtuous heroes. they hated him for he spoke the truth, damn it

godspell @godspell I believe it's one take you could go. But you have to keep in mind there are good isekais. Inuyasha and devil a part timer are isekais reverse style

Lamby @momoichi devil is a part timer doesnt count because the devil is going over, he isnt transported against his will. inuyasha you could make a better argument for, and while in spirit it is an isekai because of the spirited away trope, it doesnt fit to modern isekais, which are largely, nearly entirely, trash. they are all the same, 0 originality. kumo desu ga nani ka was the rare exception because the author actually thought of a really kool plot and concept for their novel, with actually good character development and world growth. the twist is really REALLY good. i hear slime is also a good one, i need to give that a try, but starting from 0 and actually working your way up is the only good way to handle an isekai. kumo's growth feels SO earned and none of her near death experiences ever feel like ass pulls because the author bothered setting things up before hand to justify these things (like her having toxic immunity from eating that bug that one time, a great call back)

Lamby @momoichi plus wasnt rudy literally a pedophile canonically? and hes our hero? and hes totally responsible with his powers? like, i kinda liked tensei, but i hated rudy as a protagonist. why make him such a shitty dude? how could i ever root for him when he was bad and continues to be bad and his 'omg im a neet im so shy oh no' bullying trauma was resolved IMMEDIATELY when it could have been a mini arch in and of itself. but no, cant have nice things, every fucking isekai has to have all the substance of a bag of chips

godspell @godspell Re zero good. Most people say it's annoying but that's because of how realistic it is in a protagonist that has no over power abilities. The rise of the shield hero is a framed issekai hero who starts with no support and everyone hatting on him. No game no life is a classic. Do you count being transported to a game and stuck in it?.Hack would be a good choice and Grimgar. Ascendance of a bookworm

godspell @godspell Ya boy kongming fucking great with that banging music. Twelve kingdoms. Log horizon if we count games. Digimon is also an issekai

Lamby @momoichi re zero. was the worst. re zero started my hatred of isekais. iv never seen an anime protagonist done as poorly as subaru was. never. iv debated people on this website over how bad re zero was, especially subaru. only protagonist that comes close to being as insufferable is the ninja guy from hells paradise

godspell @godspell How is gabimaru terrible? A lot of people like his character

Lamby @momoichi no game no life was alright i think? never finished it lol never seen rise of the shield hero (is that the girl who only specs into defense? cause i stopped watching that too) i dont really count the being sucked into a game though they technically are i think. i never watched the //root animes but i hate a friend back in the day who looooooooooooved them, so theyr kool in my book

godspell @godspell I'm still mad you dropped jujutsu kaisen and missed the bigger picture of its themes

Lamby @momoichi hard to control my caps lock on this kind of discussion, because it genuinely gets my riled up. kaneki ken. kaneki ken has gone through a lot, youd agree? what happened with him post torture? he changed. forever. even re his ptsd still followed him and he was NEVER the same kind forgiving, merciful guy he once was. subaru was tortured always similarly. multiple times actually hes tortured i believe. what happened to his character? ptsd... AND THEN HES THE EXACT SAME AS HE WAS AT THE STARTED OF THE SEASON! HAPPY GO LUCKY! oh they try and use the 'my smile is a facade im traumatized!' but thats cheap. when your mind is broken it is broken. kaneki ken and shironeki are not the same character, because trauma has changed him forever. shironeki is still like kaneki, in the manga he still is kind to others and can smile and enjoys the thinsg he use to, but he is not kaneki ken. homura. her development happens technically off screen, but she has faced trauma, has seen her friends killed and has killed them by her own hand, has held a gun to her own head countless, countless, countless times. she is different. she is hardened. she was changed. even in the movie in her fantasy land where she larps her old innocence she is still homura the witch at the heart. she is still traumatized over madoka's countless deaths. subaru? foundamentally the same character. subaru has gone through the torture of kaneki and the time fuckery of homura and is less traumatized than either of them. gabimaru is the worst imo because he LITERALLY basically says "i dont want to kill you. BUT O BOY HERE I GO KILLIN AGAIN' hes ment to be another shironeki esc character but hes shironeki with no development from kaneki.only the edge badass without really getting to see who he use to be, with that, the true tragedy of who he could have been. his wife thing was kinda interesting, but hes insufferable with his edge try hardness. i stopped reading hells paradise because i was enjoying following the other characters and then gabimaru came back into the pov and i had to take a break. i couldnt.

Lamby @momoichi tbf i know i need to pick juju back up, there seems to be some interesting characters, and again, i really wanna fuck toji, so seeing and knowing him would be kool

godspell @godspell Saburu is difficult you really have to be able to pick things up for him. The author is honestly a genius in writing characters. The author is so specific that he chooses colors for saburu that you don't realize have meaning. Orange and black for example. Orange means change instead of joy. Black means death. Combine that with his unoriginal design to show he has nothing remarkable to back him up

godspell @godspell I understand that people do not enjoy him. But this man self sacrificing. You say him pretending to smile and keep going like nothing going wrong. He isn't sane at all he is neurotic at best when no one watching. He has convinced himself that he does everything for Emilia to give him a focal point to return to for his sanity. It has been stated different points in the story I do it for her. I will for her

godspell @godspell He is completely insane though. His madness is silent

Lamby @momoichi kek, the author 100% lost to his friend in the isekai department. the comedy one is way better and knows what it is atleast. i have the first novel, forget the name, but its genuinely funny. subaru isnt complex, hes lazily written. they want their cake and to eat it too. they want to get the emotional shock of torturing subaru, but dont want to maintain any character change because goodness forbid the person watching cant self insert as him anymore. i mean idk about the symbolism of his clothing, but theres nothing there. even okarin was a better written character than subaru, his struggle was way more realistic and the ending of steins;gate was clever and sad (nvm the sequal or movies sshshhhh those dont exist)

godspell @godspell Yeah steins gate can never be compared

Lamby @momoichi i saying he isnt written well. its convienent that he can bottle it up and put on a brave face when hes gone through as much as both kaneki and homura have and neither of them are able to hide their trauma. even haise was literally haunted by his past because to put his trauma behind him he had to develope did and become a whole new person to separate himself from what happened to him

Lamby @momoichi subaru had his bones broken and saw his friends die countless times but it totally still effects him guys cause he sometimes gets sad. totally realistic trauma response, come on lol

godspell @godspell I'm not sure. I feel like you drop the series after half way in season 1. Season 3 coming out soon. So I better re-watch. Oh it's there he isn't sane at all. It breaks out but I hear it gets worse for him season 2. Even more so in season 3

Lamby @momoichi oh, ill be fair, wasnt there a moment when he wanted to kill himself to escape the pressure he was under? thats an actual response to that kind of stress, but they didnt go anywhere with it and he never got o that level again. his peak was wanting to kill himself, and it was all smooth sailings after that

godspell @godspell He has killed himself multiple times to restart. You don't do that if you're sane.

godspell @godspell I've seen him throw himself off a cliff

Lamby @momoichi noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i HATED re zerosince mid season. i finished season 1 because i wanted to properly be able to say it was shit without hearing "finish the season." i didnt just finish season 1, i got to mid season 2 before washing my hands finally of that pseudo-emotional trash. oh yeeaahh. well, homura had to kill herself too to restart time, and ajin used killing themselves as a really clever way to recover from injuries. i think they wrote subaru into a corner. how can he cope with this trauma when he cant even kill himself to resolve it, and they also had to keep it relatable for the person to be able to self insert as subaru. subaru never collapsed under incomprehensible pressure, and thats pretty stupid. lack of character development (especially after extreme events) is a crutch in writing, and a sign of a shitty writer

godspell @godspell Because he's placed Emilia on this huge pedestal as the focal point to grip him in reality which is why season 3 will be nuts. If he doesn't have her how will he cope

godspell @godspell Saburu will start not to flinch anymore. He'll see any of his friends dying as nothing anymore. Lose body parts just to go confirm his suspicions for the next issue he has to go through before dying again. Because he'll be eerily calm casting his humanity aside

godspell @godspell What's your take on Tokyo revengers

Lamby @momoichi kaneki was fighting for people. homura was fighting for madoka. they still changed perminantly as characters. people grow and people change and conform largely to their environment, its a very very human trait. lack of this trait is lack of humanity in your character, they just become a caricature. im trying to think of suitable character growth that would be good for subaru but i actually cant think of any. like i said i think the writers messed up by torturing him so bad because there is no realistic or even semi-realistic way a person could grow or transform from that without becoming a villain kek. what, isnt he pride or something? and there is another pride? so theres another him? tell me if im miss remembering, but is that the angle the anime is taking? that he will become a villain? or am i thinking the double people being emilia and that witch?

godspell @godspell But they have powers. Saburu has legit nothing he's trash at everything else besides his power to reset. If he becomes the villain at the end that would be great. His powers originate from the villain of the story.

Lamby @momoichi i havent finished it but im really close to the end. tokyo revengers is good, but i have a soft spot for delinquent manga. it has a power scaling issue, massive power scaling issue actually, everyone is the toughest in tokyo lol. its good, but i hate that the main guy never actually tries to exercise and learn to fight and jsut relies on others. every arc he has someone to help him lol. like every arc is 'hes weak but going again the biggest guy! someone help him!' and the new friend helps him, but like, he never tries to exercise and get actually wrong xD think he did once and never again. i loved the reveal with the original main bad guy and how he died. that was great, my mouth was gaping. and the whole 'save me' thing was really sweet from tommy or whatever his name is. gave me madoka homura vibes. kinda hated how weak every girl is though, even when theyr hyped up to be super strong. but again, power scaling issue. Out is better though. way better. i need to read more og delinquent manga but Out is top tier, way better than tokyo revengers

godspell @godspell You mean Mikey? I love Tokyo revengers even though people hate it. He said the main character him from his delinquent days. He says everyday he has regrets from back then. Things he wanted to do different. So this Manga is a letter of himself on what could be if he was the main character saving his friends

Lamby @momoichi the reason subaru is different from kumo is because kumo had to struggle and claw her way out of a labryth to be strong. and she got strong. all on her own. and her becoming a god basically fits with the universe and works well. its deserved, its earned, and it works in the universe, because the admins are above even gods, so shes still not the most op. subaru doesnt really grow or get stronger, this isnt an mmo universe where you can work on stats and level up. hes hopeless start to finish, again the same character. kumo grows up, builds resolve, is petty and a genuinely cruel person at times to those she feels wronged her (for canonical reasons as well, not just cause) for a spider shes a very human character. and her shyness isnt thrown away like rudy, shes genuinely an introvert through the entire story.

Lamby @momoichi oh yeah mikey. do people hate it? i mean it has its flaws but its genuinely a good read regardless. awwww i love mangas like that, how sweet
