A lot of machine translated LNs and webnovels out there that just localise to the extreme because they don't understand Japanese. so they just add colloquialism for whatever expression of shock, fear, etc and swearwords everywhere.

>>475629 Penalties for weed are light almost everywhere. I'm not saying don't do it for legal reasons though.] Whether it's legal or not is an unimportant distinction.
That's not a legal argument, I'm saying your assertion that pot is the reason for ruined lives is shaky at best, considering its historical popularity both with the wealthy of society and in fact entire civilizations Civilizations which were not hellscapes
Lots of rich people completely ruin themselves and lose everything over drugs. It usually takes something a little harder than weed for that, but weed is a gateway drug to harder stuff.
sk
Yeah, usually if you're gonna try something illegal, you start with the more or less harmless stuff You could just as well argue alcohol is a gateway drug to heroin
sk
Like you're seeing people not starting with the actual crippling shit and going "they did it because they did this other thing", rather than considering the enormous popularity of the other thing both with people who do and do not do other, more dangerous stuff
>>475634 A good reason why alcohol isn't a gateway drug to heroin is that alcohol is legal. So you don't have to encounter people who sell illegal things in order to get booze. >the argument has never been about why the correlation exists, but that it does This is generally true but I'm trying to make a point about legalization. In that, marijuana is a gateway drug to worse things in part because you have to go through illegal methods to get it. Not the effects.
sk
Well no, if you consider the legality the entire concept of a gateway drug, as a thing, ceases to function. Because the argument has never been about why the correlation exists, but that it does, enabling the existence of laws against it
>>475635 A lot of people do just straight up start with meth. They say meth gives you an incredible high the first time but it fries a lot of the brain so they spend the rest of their lives chasing that first high. It's a really sad situation.

>>475701 Organs aren't universally consistent. Some people can deliver much more abuse to theirs and keep on functioning. There's also the content of what you're drinking to factor in. Beer and wine isn't healthy to abuse, but there's far less alcohol content to them. If you're drinking enormous amounts of 40% and higher liquor per day you're gonna be at a much higher risk.

But my issue with the game is that the map feels a bit small. I'd like to see it expanded a bit.

>>475736 Survival and management is in itself a rewarding experience for me. I enjoy having resources I need to balance and properly manage. Continuing without failure is an element of satisfaction for me.
>>475739 They have reworked some of the survival elements lately as well. Food's been re-balanced, I think in part to make mealweed or whatever the super-basic food plant you can farm is less long-term usable. As your base expands you'll need better food options, so you have to start working with the harder to cultivate plants or start husbanding animals.
I like managing and accumulating resources, expanding the base, making improvements and advancing the tech and stuff But it feels like the kinda thing I'm just doing it to get through the tree without any real reason beyond doing it
Of course, the heat thing is a sort of end goal I guess
I'd buy it but I dislike the devs and don't think its worth the price tag. I'm really good at it though. I help my friends design stupid rockets. Like a rocket that can be flown as a plane.

It somehow, with incredibly simplistic gameplay mechanics, created a very tense experience. You had a gun, the same gun as everyone else, it killed in one shot if you domed someone The digging was nerve wracking because suddenly there could be A MAN and he has a gun, and you were digging just now so he has the upper hand But there was purpose to the digging, you didn't just do it for the tension

So the fucked up thing that happened last weekend that had me absolutely tilted (and still does) is that my little brother visited town and he told both me and my mom that he was transgender now and that he'd been taking hormones for six weeks without telling anybody.
>>476120 I think so. He said he'd been talking to some expert doctor or something. We looked the person up and he has a ph.d I think.
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476123 being related to someone doesn't give you an all-access pass to their personal life if my brother doesn't wanna tell me he's dating someone, or he's gay, or he's actually a dinosaur, that's none of my business unless he wants to tell me lol get a grip amigo
>>476126 He may be seeing a MD or something but I don't really know. Honestly I didn't catch a lot of the specifics.
>>476125 Not good at all. He will not be able to be a good girl, he's like six feet tall and has super broad shoulders and he's already too old for the estrogen to do much. Transgender people have insane suicide rates and he has always been moody and emotional and I know estrogen isn't going to do him any favors there.
It's something that I am extremely concerned about.
Anno
>>476117 sounds upsetting is it otouto or onii-chan
>>476128 They still count as transgender even if they don't go on estrogen. Denying it and telling them "no stop thats not a good idea" won't really help with the suicidal part. (Hint: it will probably hurt)
>>476124 He's my family so it's my business. Family takes care of each other and I am deeply concerned about this situation.
>>476131 Yes, I very much am. My brother is the opposite of me in a lot of ways, he has always been unstable in kind of the same sense that I am almost always stable.
>>476135 i apologize for meme'ing too hard, unlucky that they did not trust you enough to confide this information. i hope everything turns out well for both of you somehow. >>476132 make me.
I have a close friend that is transitioning. We don't really talk about their depression that much but I know they've been having some suicidal ideation.
>>476137 I think that he's seeing doctors and stuff while he's doing HRT. My mom convinced him not to get boob implants for a few years yet. I'm hoping it will just be a phase. I lectured him a bit about how it is going to have serious consequences for his reproductive health if he stays on HRT for very long.
And another worry I have now is that I need to hurry up and find someone to have kids with. I was hoping he'd give my mom some grandkids before she died since I'm not doing too well in that regard but now I guess it's up to me.
transgender people have to deal with a lot of physical problems in addition to the mental stuff, I honestly just feel bad for them, it must suck to not feel comfortable in your gender, and feel like you aren't the way you're supposed to be. it's a bad situation all around, advancements are being made though. over the years we will understand this better. it's important to be 110% confident that it's the right decision though because you can't have any regrets going into a gender change. >>476141 yeah no I didn't mean anything bad by it, but yeah it's a difficult situation. does he normally confide and talk with you guys about stuff in their life? if they normally do then it's not good that they didn't share this life change with you...
>>476141 I don't think you should rush to have kids just because it's like that.
Maria
>>476141 Don't have kids for the sake of your parents. That's something that should be a tertiary factor for such a big personal decision imo
Anno
I think the most concerning part of this is that he didn't feel comfortable dscussing this before starting, regardless of how he may have felt about how you'd react I always got the impression that you had a tight knit family
Well one thing to understand, "when are you going to have kids" is a question that becomes commonplace for a woman when she hits 22. You start getting it constantly. There's also pressure when you see your friends from highschool posting on the internet about how they're getting knocked up and stuff.
I had one friend in high school who was like a super genius girl and I thought she was going to be a rocket scientist, but what really happened to her is she got married and knocked up shortly after we graduated and she had kids at 19.

>>476181 I have enough credits that I could apply for one right now if I wanted to. >>476185 don't worry about that kinda stuff, you're still young. do not let other people pressure you into making life decisions that aren't what YOU want to do. >>476187 okay I will retry in 2 years then unlucky
nobody wants my genes anyway, +intelligence +acne +skin disease +depression
FormerRei@mobile
>>476186 A bachelor's or an associates? Cause be degree I meant bachelors cause that's the minimum they take. *by degree
>>476185 Yeah, all of my high school friends are having kids now. My grandma keeps asking me when I'm going to settle down with a nice, white, Jewish girl. Fish's dad keeps pressuring us, too.
Anno
oil baron kirara when
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
also I am genetically programmed to be good at video games. it's in my blood. Ms. Pacman is my great great grandmother.
I'm also worried that my brother is going to get mad and cut us out of things when we fail to do things like call him by his girl name and use the wrong pronouns for him. It's extremely hard for me to make that change.
I know some of those people are like a cult and they try to turn people against their families with stuff like that.
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
i literally yelled and sweared because I got sick of family people pressuring me into shit. not about to let some faggot pressure me into something that I don't want to do. fuck your ideals I want to be happy, not give you what you want
fish and i have been together over a year now time goes by really quickly
>>476194 Make sure he knows you're trying! Does he have a large group of trans friends? she*
Anno
>>476194 this would be a big fear of mine, if he starts isolating himself it would probably worsen his mental issues my only advice is to do your best to keep him comfortable around the family even if you don't agree with his decision
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
people that use peer pressure are shitty people period
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476194 just make sure you explain to him that you're going to make these mistakes with pronouns BEFORE you start doing it, and mention "it's hard to undo X years of calling you "he" instead of "she", but I will try my best" or something like that >>476198 hey you have pretty good advice I like you friend keep it up, nice moves ethan
>>476197 I don't really want to try. I don't really want to have to do those things. I think he has some. I think his doctors, who are all like transgender experts or something, will do it too.
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
i mean you may not like it but you should still respect other people's wishes , you can express your disapproval but that doesn't mean you should call her a him if that's what they want. but hey i'm not gonna tell you how to treat people. up to you mate
>don't pressure people into thinking a certain way >hey you just gotta think this certain way lol what is wrong with you >>476213 it's not a debate you dumbass what the fuck
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476211 it's a debate at the end of the day I don't really care that much about what they do, I'm just arguing the moral aspects of it don't you put that evil on me fam >>476211 how is the treatment of transexual people not a debate? lol please do not insult me friend, that only proves you have no cards :)))))))))
there's no debate here rika has her opinions and perceptions and whether we agree with them or not won't change those opinions rika is trying to be respectful despite her unhappiness with it
>>476213 someone came here to post a personal issue and vent about it, then possibly get some advice you are not being helpful if you want a debate go to reddit
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476217 I'm giving my advice, and if they don't like it then that's okay and I won't be offended if they don't want to listen to me.
Alice
>>476218 you're being pushy and generally unpleasant i guess. You're doing exactly the kind of thing you're complaining about.
>>476208 Yeah, I've been turning it over in my head all week. I finally talked to one of my mentors about it yesterday so I guess I'm ready to start talking about it. I haven't slept particularly well this week.
>>476210 Well she's doing about the same as I am, I imagine. My mom and I both have a great deal of patience and tolerance for hardship.
>>476213 It's not really a debate because I'm going to do what I want to do in the end.
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476220 >>476217 fine I will stop sharing my opinions if you can't handle it how are you all doing this friday night?
Anno
wow how gracious of you
Kirara 🚗
>>476222 the problem here isn't that you're sharing your opinions it's that you're sharing your opinions like an asshole
Anno
>>476222 nobody asked your opinions to be honest man >>476226 ??? that makes no sense why are you here
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476224 >>476225 guys come on we're done talking about this, clearly it's not a conversation that's going to work out well for any of us let's just change the subject since that's what you were asking for, and I agree with you
>>476221 Have you thought about maybe going to see a counselor as a family? It might help keep the family bonds together even if it doesn't make anyone more comfortable with what's happening.
>>476221 That is pretty concerning I -- hang on i can't focus >>476232 dude we're like a group of a dozen-ish people who have known each other forever and we're confiding in our friends to talk about stuff this isn't a 4chan general board like, we don't even know you you're just dropping in unwanted opinions in a rude manner about very personal issues and it's not appropriate >>476221 Yeah, I know a lot of transgender people it can sometimes work out, but usually it doesn't and i do have to hear about a lot of them suiciding more often than i'd like the hormones also seem to just be pretty terrible and i almost always lose contact estrogen is a pretty fickle thing, and even some women have trouble handling it after having dealt with it most of their lives for guys who aren't used to it, it's even worse i can empathize
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476225 if they didn't want opinions they wouldn't have posted it publicly here and started talking about it lol??????????????????????????????
>>476233 I know. I just wanted to complain. >>476236 You really haven't been much long here I assume. The fact I wasn't able to keep up was the very reason I decided it was easier to just leave even tho it's not a helpful thing because it's selfish. just try to listen and dont assume people are just attacking you.
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
I guess what you're saying is you don't like people that think differently and you don't want me here. Point noted.
>>476236 if this is how you're going to be, yeah, we don't want you here
Anno
gonna feed some deer in nara park
Anno
>>476240 Oh oh oh oh I did that too while I was around Kyoto. You can actually continue travelling along from Nara to Osaka if you have the freedom to travel. Osaka is a really neat city and I think you'd definitely get a kick out of going.
FormerRei@mobile
>>476240 Be careful, they can be really aggressive. My friend got mobbed by them and his tourist map was eaten.
>>476228 Nope! I'll think about it. I've never had a lot of faith in stuff like that though. I usually just work out my problems in my own head.
>>476231 Yes, I am worried about that aspect of it a lot. He has always been moody, he claims that the estrogen makes him feel better but I know when it really hits it's going to hit hard. Estrogen makes you crazy and even the most stable girls have moments when they're crazy and they know they're being crazy but can't help it. I don't think my little brother can deal with those moments.
>>476243 Yeah, I don't know if it's what you need, but it might be good for him, at least.
Kannagi
Is this a sudden thing? Its quite a change to suddenly have to deal with. >>476247 So neato!
Anno
>>476241 yeah I'm doing osaka now, checked out the fish market this morning it's neat, the city has a real 80's aesthetic
Anno
Yeah, I only got to spend a few hours to half a day to walk around Osaka, so we mostly stuck to walking along that one major river that runs through the city. And the, uh, I can't remember the name, but it's the longest shoutengai (those roofed almost strip malls that are all over Japan, think Tamako Market) in Japan. I definitely want to spend more time in the city some time in the future.
Don't be too hard on the newfriend, he's still just kinda getting used to the culture. We're not like the rest of the internet.
>>476246 Yeah, totally sudden. He told me he wanted to talk about something, and he usually just asks me for advice on stuff but this time it was that he was transgender. I did not expect it at all, I was floored.
>>476250 That is hard to deal with, I can't imagine tell someone that I was transgender or anything like that. but to suddenly have to deal with it being sprung on you and then try and carry on as normal probably takes time.
Alice
I'm not even.. unable to tell my family about liking guys i guess, it's kind of a blurry area where i guess they won't ask I probably don't talk to them about it until i have a stable and less shitty life.
>>476250 I think the people for whom it is a good fit tend to be people who are ... not sure the words here less okay
your family seems like there's some status there, so there's lots to be lost if things dont go too well, and it's a little concerning i'm not sure why he thought it would be well supported like, if i did that to my family it would be different because we're all struggling to find our own way, so it's a little different
i think that's also where the suicide statistics trail off a bit, is because TG and HRT is often an option for people who were pressed into suicidal ideation by gender dysphoria and other living conditions in the first place
an ex of mine is now dating a transgendered person and it is working out quite well from what i understand, but that person was a little more fortunate in their circumstance, having a very liberal family who supported it from a young age and also having some good money ...i really think it's too late for your brother he's what, 23 right?
Kannagi
I know some transgender people who are fine and some who are a bit scary, Its such a big change. >>476258 It'd rather commit suicide than deal with my family over something like that. Damn.
Ah, thats not really appropriate to say, I shouldn't have said that.
Alice
Only friend I knew who was openly dysphoric died in february. I can't get over it. others kind of stopped mentioning it and i guess they might not really be.
I know a few trans people that have completed suicide, and a few that have done alright. It often becomes a toss-up and usually seems to have a lot to do with how they're treated, but a big part of it is internal conflicts. Sometimes people just feel an // a sense of wrongness and, in searching for an answer to that wrongness, they conclude they're trans and make a lot of big changes which aren't right for them. I think it's important for people in that position to talk to a good therapist that knows about trans issues and can help them explore their gender so they can find out if it's right for them or not.
Kannagi
It is a lot to do with internal conflict, I'm not a big expert. it can be hard to when people are so defensive about their gender and then getting them to trust you all over again is difficult. because they end up losing trust in everything.
Alice
>>476263 how often is that tho? like, i can't imagine it - nevermind there's not a clear answer to what i want to know.
I don't think there's really anything he could do that would get anyone from our little family unit to disown him. I'm worried he'll shut us out though.
My dad wasn't able to be a good role model to him because he got sick. I wish he were still around to help sort this stuff out.
Alice
I don't get why american families do that tho. like, I feel parents in the states just push their kids away at the earliest chance.
>>476267 Yeah, there's a difficult /// difficulty in figuring it out. People don't have access to that kind of care and don't have the ability to explore their gender and find out what's right for them, so a lot of people fall through the cracks.
>>476236 i know you're still lurking and reading this, but no, we don't dislike people who think differently than us we dislike people who aren't likable, and ramming yourself into other people's business with no social grace is abrasive and unlikable so don't get petty and passive-aggressive when all we were doing is what we do normally and you acted like a buffoon
Kannagi
If it was me, I think I'd run away and turtle up in fear of having to deal with the reaction of my family towards stuff. >>476270 HRT is pretty one way after a while too, you lose fertility and it takes a while for your mood to stablise. having someone who lets you know the importance of what the drugs do to you. Testostrone for women is pretty bad, it can mess with you. estrogen isn't deadly but it's pretty bad for mood and body perception
Alice
18 something people are still kids. I was basically one at that age. Taking dumb decisions is incredibly likely at that age.
Alice
>>476270 I mean, 5 or so years ago that wasn't a "possibility" like, it wasn't seen as one by the general opinion. idk how to explain it. But people who had issues were just prescribred medicine or jut left to drugs or whatever they had in hand.
>>476268 i shut my family out all the time it always comes back around fine sometimes people need space from each other maybe your family is more exclusive though i dunno
I probably would have taken the trans route if i were born the same but a decade later i didn't even know it was an option at the time i dont think about it too much anymore though and i'm fairly content as i am without too much concern >>476287 hmm i took and still take care of sick family for me it's always been pettiness everywhere so i've became close to my friends to get away from that stuff i think i can see the flavor of that though
>>476278 The best way to describe my immediate family unit is that we're all traumatized by my dad's prolonged illness, so we're very close.
Kannagi
My family basically controls a lot of my life, even the fact that I got into university was everyone getting around me telling me to go to university. forcing me to write up applications.
I feel a little anxiety about going to be honest. but I don't think I'd ever overcome the anxiety of doing something my family doesn't want me to do. I am trying to get my own place though, I don't want to be forced to stay somewhere but I also fear the idea of being too independant even though it might be nice.
Alice
I find it a bit much to call it a cult tho. even if it might look like that from the outside. Like families have countless problems and break and reunite since always.
I haven't talked to my father in 3 months. my sister hasn't in 6 or so.
I can't imagine what it's like to be close to my family When I thought my grandma was dying in the hospital, I was worried, sure, but my biggest concern was that it would be troublesome logistically if she died right now.
Alice
My family has all the drama things, kids - extended family- kids outside marriage, some uncle molesting supposedly his niece, kids who were never told they werent' from an earlier couple until later families that cheat on each other financially and sentimentally.
I guess eventually i will have to solve things with my dad tho, even if he probably will just guilt trip me about it.
i was real close to my dad and my oldest sister after he died there's not much connecting me to this family besides familial guilt which i hate so i paid my guilt tax and took care of the dying folks and sacced four years of my life and ruined my career as a physicist so uh, no hard feelings when i turn away and dont look back now and that's fiiine by me
Kannagi
I like my family but I feel so chained by it. A lot of stuff happened in my family that I feel like we are all super close but also all at different levels. I feel like I have to go in between members and help things out, I can't get angry, I can't get upset, I can't do a lot of things. But I know I'm so anxious about everything that I wouldn't do a lot of things without them pushing me.
>>476301 i felt that way with my dad too more of friends more like roommates in a bachelor pad it was great from what you told me in stories, i bet i'd get along with your dad too
I get along decent with my family. My sister aside, who I despise, I guess. Even then I'd still do the things that are expected of family for her. But my family is exceptionally boring and bland. We probably wouldn't bother anyone or create issue. But you'd probably not recall anything exceptional either.
>>476304 my dad had schizophrenia, PTSD, and really, really liked russian women he was extremely educated and studied his whole life while working as an electrician, even about to finish a medical degree upon his retirement as an electrician but he just stayed working as an electrician because it's what he liked to do he was probably extremely inappropriate in his humor because of his conditions and that's the environment i know, so i like it i think i came out a better person for it
not too close to your pops huh?
Alice
;_;
Alice
no i mean my dad is smart and hard working and has a deep sense of family or whatever. i dont. i felt i just kept disappointing him and we just tried to pretend we're better than we are and when things explode we get really bad i feel like he will never stop being high up there and i cant reach him so when he falls i can't help either. it's a messy situation. i feel responsible by his heath but also i hate that. i never had a healthy relationship as a dad and kid with him.
>>476313 Oh, yeah as a kid it was horrible my poor dad struggled so hard to get things right such bad PTSD and schizophrenia that he didn't know what was too far and what wasn't and it was horrible but as an adult and starting to understand him, he became my closest friend it's hard reconciling with parents, but man it really is worth it
>>476317 really wish i could come see you guys, i miss you but after a lot of thinking, it's just a dangerous spend i won't even have a mattress or furniture once i get to my destination as is strapping myself further could really castrate my livelihood at the moment
i get along well with my mom's sister she's pretty much removed from the family and lives in NYC we don't talk often though because we're both cat types
>>476414 Dude I get you've got a problem with him and I don't really like him either. But don't stir shit like this here please. Keep board drama as separate as possible,
It's not wotakoi but I'm enjoying Golden Kamuy at the moment
Anno
>>476426 Not particularly, no? The whole situation is pretty straightforward in a narrative sense. It's a fun series though, so I am looking forward to the new episode a lot.
Chen
it has a lot of teenage drama, but I don't know. from the preview it doesn't seem that interesting, that new episode, apart from the fight at the end
Anno
apart from those odd looking fires
Anno
Oh just wait until you see the bear then.
>>476428 Golden Kamuy has been really fun so far. The characters are pretty good and the atmosphere is interesting.
>>476442 yeah this is for certain there's so much attention to each and every scene of this show you can feel the love the animators put into it >>476445 if by stupid you mean awesome yeah it's stupid as fuck
>>476445 I watched every season of FMP but it has been so long that I barely remember what is going on. I know the characters but remember very little about what was going on where it left off.
>>476447 It's just a great show. The premise is good, the music is good, the plot hits all the right notes, the characters are good, it's just great. Every episode leaves me wanting more.
Chen
I mean stupid in a sense that every anime similar to Megalo Box is trying to be a classy anime and to remain in history like Cowboy Bepop, Darling in the Franxx is trying to be NGE of this gen.
that's the problem with today's studios, they try to milk money, not making good anime, Overlord had a chance to make a 2 cour anime aswell, the novel was there.
Anno
I feel you don't really understand how the anime industry works. Studios don't milk money, studios don't even get to decide what they animate most of the time. They're contracted out by production comittees to produce series. Those production comittees may milk money, but that's not the studios' faults.
Also Overlord is currently producing its third series, making it a three-cour anime effectively.
Maria
Boy I sure miss the bubble economy
Chen
Then I'm not sure who decides it, the director? If it was a2 cour anime, Megalo Box would get my interest.
Dude. The story it's short itself. Hayku or however that series was called had 24 episodes. And 3 seasons.
ping pong didn't let you waiting and questioning yourself about the outcome of the situation. it was one story.
Anno
>>476470 They could have, but animating twenty-four episodes of content is a pretty big economic gamble. Doing stuff segmented, one show at -one season at a time, is a safer bet. No production comittee would contract a studio out for two-cour worth of stuff unless they were hella confident.
Anime studios just seem to flip coins on whatever. Sometimes something that was really great and profitable doesn't get another season and bad stuff sometimes gets new seasons
Maria
Sometimes voice actors or directors just aren't available for a second season. I'm sure more Madoka could be profitable but Shaft and Urobutcher are both tied up
I cancelled all of my plans because my parents sprung on me to take them to somewhere so I was take a bath to make up for it now my plans are coming back to haunt me
Yes, but Log Horizon, Hayku, you call them, they had it coming. For Overlord is the same, it was made to be successful. But yeah, it's a safer bet, now I agree.
Anno
>>476480 Again, anime studios aren't making the decisions here. It's all decided by production comittees, which have much different marginal gains they're looking at than most people assume.
Maria
Is that always true? doesn't Trigger own its own IPs? There's studios like Gainax and Sunrise that own very profitable IPs and make the shots on those. Although Sunrise is owned by Bandai so I'm not sure how that works
>>476487 But in this case the production comittee is internal right? True, there's stuff to do with the people who make merchandise and stuff like record people to deal with too For something like Love Live the chance of more seasons is probably impacted by how much the managers of the singers and the mobage want to promote their products. >>476487 Yeah what the fuck even is Gainax these days
Anno
>>476486 Well, there's always a production comittee involved. In cases like Trigger and recent KyoAni stuff they have much more say in the comittee, and probably someone within the studio makes all the fnial calls.
But even with studios like Gainax and Sunrise and their profitable IPs, you've got comittees that involve the other parts of the franchise, like the record companies that produce the music for stuff like Symphogeah, who probably also hold influential roles in the comittee. >>476486 I'm not sure about Gainax or Sunrise, but I'm pretty sure with Trigger and KyoAni they're probably heavily internal. I'd gamble on Gainax not really having any say in their productions anymore because they're literally no one nowadays. Sunrise might have more influence on the productions.
Also there's a bit of a difference between having a say in the production and having creative freedom. Or at least creative freedom within the constraints of, say, a one-cour or two-cour and X budget.
Chen
Umineko season 2 never.
Chen
I wish I was on PC so I could argue faster
Anno
i wish i was a cat
Anno
same
Chen
I wish I could forget some anime just to watch them again Or books
Anno
>>476486 I think Gainax has super heavily downsized and is currently working on a show that's supposed to be airing this season. I haven't seen it airing though, or at least easily ripped subs for it.
Due to a recent discovery, I have changed my mind and will continue posting here. I apologize if I offended anyone. Anywho, what are we talking about now?
There's some things I like to re-watch or re-read every while or so. I have a good memory for narrative so I don't really forget it much. But it's interesting to see how I contextualize the story this time around, or what details I pick up on instead of others. Consuming media a second time around also lets me see the set-up to big moments like >>476512 this. It's a really great way to understand what makes a piece of media well-crafted and engaging.
>>476480 it's too enmeshed in other things having a profitable anime is beight outweighed by having profitable sponsorships a tanker that gets good brand awareness or reception for an upcoming movie far outweighs the cost of production, while something historically profitable in its own right is still a small-gain risk
He totally ignored that Rem loved him and cared about him. And he choses to chase after the girl he had a fight with. He sperged out in front of everyone for Eimilia but he did show no emotion towards Rem. People think she deserves it, not Emilia.
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476520 umm excuse me Ferris is a boy! :3 but yes that is an accurate counterpoint
>>476523 this may be due to his interactions with Emilia going back further than his encounter with Rem, and how she saved him in the Alley in their first encounter, which put her up on a Pedestal, versus Rem never really did anything romantic or significant other than try to kill him! :3
Anno
young punks, get off my lawn
Nezi !Neziwi/5.M
>>476528 or perhaps I could offer to mow it and charge you a monthly rate?
Anno
I don't need some kid to mow my lawn what else am I gonna do I'm retired
How can you have the time to mow your lawn when you could mow a virtual lawn?
Anno
>>476531 i used to know a guy that was actually retired and spent almost all day playing world of warcraft back in like 2006-2008 wonder what he's up to now
>>476544 Man you'd die before you acheived that level of quality in paint. It's filtered to look like something of a previous era. But the attention to detail within the scenes is far higher than most television fare these days.
>>476547 it's only 3 episodes? that seems rather odd, are they considered OVA? >>476550 ah my mistake friend, I apologize for misunderstanding. I have not been keeping up with the latest releases unfortunately as I have been rather busy lately. Thank you for the recommendation though :)
Anno
>>476549 only three episodes have aired so far you dunko
Chen
I've read that the anime is 720 but rendered to 1080 or something.
>>476551 every anime is rendered at somewhere between 576p and 720p then upscaled to 1080 for broadcasting but megalo box has some other issue that is causing noticeable aliasing i'm not sure if it's just an exceptionally low original resolution or if it's a post processing effect but it looks noticeably pixelated for whatever
Oh, you are right, that's what I wanted to say, it's originally 720 and upscaled to 1080. I can't really watch it.
Anno
>>476552 Some shows these days are rendered at a higher resolution that's matching or is far closer to 1080 than 720. Like KyoAni tends towards stuff like that, I know, and there are studios that will have native resolutions like that as well. Resolution only ever creeps higher and higher, and eventually you gotta up yours as well when producing stuff.
>>476561 There's probably pitches of noise that thing is producing that your cat's hearing that you don't. That -They can be really on-edge around stuff like that.
