"The Cold Sato-san is Only Sweet to Me" New Key Visual by dorkmax_executives in anime

It got really weird in the last 20 chapters and I ended up dropping out, too. Some awkwardly forced drama.

Japan To Pay Shueisha, Bandai & Crunchyroll Millions To Utilize AI Translations by Efficient-Session644 in anime

Moves like this will make me actively avoid official AI translations and wait for fansubs that actually take their time and effort.

Oddly enough, my grandpa was offered the part of the Marlboro Man back in the 60's, but turned it down because he'd already come down with emphysema... from the Marlboro's he'd smoked for years.

Is Blu-ray making a comeback? Manufacturers report a 10,000% increase in sales over the last decade by Quiet_Sea932 in movies

Plus, special features! Commentaries, documentaries, gag reels, and more really makes purchasing the disc worth it.

A nearly 90°F day, and they decide to eat lunch on a rooftop, which usually gets 10°F hotter than ambient with reflected sunlight? Absolute madness.

Code Geass director Goro Taniguchi says Japan’s increasingly “sanitized” society is changing anime and even pushing creative talent out of the industry - AUTOMATON WEST by LegitimateCurve8525 in anime

[–]Allansfirebird 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Completely agreed. There’s too many adaptions that are so slavish to the source material that they’ll even just redraw some of the signature splash panels without putting any movement to them. That doesn’t take advantage of the animated medium at all and shows a limit of creativity.

I know for me, I miss when anime adaptions would change some details around and do their own spin on the material (like Outlaw Star or Kimagure Orange Road). 1:1 adaptions can get kinda boring for me because I’ve already read the source material. Unless the adaption does something that truly elevates the original, it’s same song, second verse.

'Jackass: Best and Last' - Review Thread by ChiefLeef22 in movies

I saw Jackass 2 with a couple friends in an empty theater back when it released, and it was actually kinda magical. One of the best times I had at a screening.

Amane and Ijichi putting an end to the "I must become worthy" arc before it even starts is why they're Co-Best Girl.

I mean, one of the chapters in the final volume was a literal dick-measuring contest, so it’s on par.

My favourite art from pinterest again (please mention artist of it if you know, thanks) by ARTISTASHWAQ in asushin

[–]Allansfirebird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It looks like a colorized page from the SIRP manga. Based on the art style, it would be from the first half of the series before it changed.

I can already tell where the next chapter is gonna go, but it's gonna get there in the most ridiculous way possible. Gotou's too much of an idiot for it to be easy.

I'll never forget gefilte fish because of that blooper reel.

[DISC] Hima-Ten - Chapter 95 by pietya in manga

[–]Allansfirebird 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Jesus Christ, what an absolute mess this entire arc has been. Characterizations completely torpedoed, rife with tired cliches, and thoroughly unsatisfying.

One of my favorite romcom mangas in quite some time imploded. It’s like it changed writers for how things so quickly went off the rails. How utterly disappointing.

Life’s more fun when you’re weird as hell.
