" it was fun while it lasted" but I had hoped it would last a little longer.

This should probably go in the thread for the manga, with spoiler tags... Please don't post spoilers here where they can't be hidden T-T

Unfortunately he won’t go, the dude has a big ass army

Putin -> Putout

May the gods watch over the ghost of Kiev

maybe we could just tattoo all our finished animes on our skin and live in a commune. anybody watching anything i don't like will be shot

@smeg that's pretty hardcore. I would just pout and annoy the person who doesn't like my animes.

Well, that's kind of serious. I should have a deal but everyone liked my favorite animes.

@TheNuisance1 The incest thing was fucked but so were many things. So it easily blended in with all other nonsense.

@TheNuisance1 friend, you've only read 3 chapters. Incest is mentioned and dropped instantaneously. But tbh if that scared you away from reading it then you would've been disgusted of what's to come.

@arnexks yeah it threw me off big time so yeah I had to drop it to save myself and I am glad I did. It was one of the creepiest shounen I’ve ever read!

@Gaunter something sickening? Depending on how hardcore, but gore horror always hits hard. (not my cup of tea tbh)

sadge

@Gaunter sadge indeed

eat a block of cheese

had a hard day, thanks for the good suggestions.

everything i'd recommend is either immoral or illegal

Too bad there is only 90 chapters translated (as far as I looked).

now, the big thing about individual differences and creating something scary is that all 7+ billion of us wonderful people living on the best of all possible worlds have our own fears and phobias and trauma for reasons that are, to some extent at least, unique to each and every one of us.

and so anyone trying to make horror needs to hope she either casts her metaphorical net especially well, is skilled at writing and visual art, or appeals to some more baseline fear we all share by force of nature (fear of harm)

sorry if this was too rambly, i always start poking holes in my own arguments after a while. hope i got most of what i wanted to say covered. cheers

True Tears. One of the worst endings I've seen with awful twists to the characterizations in the last like...2 episodes.

Personally BNA

Another kinda went down the drain halfway through, dunno if ura sekai picnic counts since IMO it barely managed to get into the air before crashing into a dung heap. i'll still rewatch Another just for the first half, fight me

some in weeks, but if they get burned out they usually take a break. But there is this preconception, that they are slaves to the manga industry's status quo, which in my opinion is silly. Why does 1 artist publish 2 chapters a month, while another makes 2 chapters in 3 months.

I believe, that there are most definite cases of overworking, but the notion of hating on the industry that pays them and brings us enjoyment is beyond me.

i dunno man, i don't know nearly enough about this to have a proper discussion about it. just wish there was less rpg mechanics and more fantastical, fleshed-out, out-there worlds.
you know, floating islands, flying whales, endless legend stuff, things of that nature

maybe isekai manga would be better for that, if there's anything you'd want to recommend i'd be all ears

also sorry for the rambling lol

@smeg I completely agree. Heck don't say sorry for the rambles, I write on my status provocative shit that makes you think for that very reason. I enjoy hearing others opinions and want to get a discussion going.

@smeg Also when you spread the seas of modernity and boring tropes (like Moses) you sometimes find something real tasteful. For an example Goblin Slayer is one of the best Isekais, that I have ever red, cus it takes inspiration and mechanics from D & D and I find that real enjoyable.

I think general statements centered entirely around broad demographic labels are more often than not, exaggerated and pointless.

@g3data I make a broad statement because I wish, that someone would correct me or show his own opinion. I wish for a debate, I think that notion is not pointless.

I have yet to find a manga/anime solely to be a slice of life which I didn't drop. Maybe that's just me.

@arnexks yeah there have been times where I dropped a series that was based on slice of life e.g. kino's journey, Natsume's Book of Friends and Mushi-Shi

@TheNuisance1 Oh Mushi-shi is more like a spiritual journey, than a slice of life. Well Mushi-shi is really strange: hard to find a genre that it fits in and also it is different in the sense, that it's hard to compare it to other anime. There is a video essay called "the Haunting Calm of Mushi-shi" it explains the main idea.

that's basically the gist of it. There are some wacky tropes as well: mother figure having an uncurable illness, protagonist becoming more edgy over-time and my favorite the one-off romantic interest chapters where after those you don't see the love interest for 50+ chapters again.

Sounds interesting.

They are weird but for some reason I enjoy reading them hahaha.
Probably because I enjoy coloured art and the characters for the most part ^^
