/jp/ - Otaku Culture

ghost gurls.
that one with the blond gurl and the homorock.
that one with the blue small kotana girl.
that one with nobunaga.

So many Satens this season. There's Green Saten, Ghost Saten and Zombie Saten.

No, please, no. Don't bring the whole SHAFT hate team into Silver Link as well.
Anyway, I'm watching way too many things, and this is an >>>/a/ thread.

So far:
Medaka Box
Lupin III
Medaka Box
Nazo no Kanojo X
Sankarea
Uchuu Kyoudai

Considering picking up Upotte!! and Tasogare Otome x Amnesia. Probably going to drop at least half of them before the season is over.

Saki and it is better than the main Saki storyline.
For one the main characters arent fucking crybaby like Saki or bitch like Nodoka.

>>8826883
Shaft infected DEEN too, just look at Sankarea.

Soon, there will be no more separate studios, and instead Shaft will become the synonym of anime.

And I couldn't be happier.

>>8826898
I tried watching Saki again since I never finished it the first time around, but damn, the "luck is an ability" kind of bullshit always makes any competition anime unwatchable. Guess I'll force myself since yuri, but it's fucking annoying.

Fate/Zero, Zetman and finishing off Legend of the Galactic Heroes because I can't see anything else worth watching this season except maybe space bros.

>>8826934
You dont watch Saki for the mahjong.
You watch Saki for cute girls doing cute things.
If you care about real mahjong just watch Akagi and Tetsuya.

Acchi Kocchi is pretty cool.

The kuudere/tsundere mix the Konata rip-off has going on for her is pretty damn effective.

>>8826937
It's not like I care about mahjong specifically, but Saki puts WAY too much emphasis on it to just be able to ignore it.

I'll probably watch Lupin III, Saki and Fate.
Madoka Box was horrible. Upotte appealed to my interest with the jokes but it's not really good. I'll watch the ero BD specials if they actually do them.
Still going through first episodes. This season appears to be actually watchable.

>>8826959
Horrible as in the adaptation was horrible, or just horrible in general?

I've already started watching Medaka Box, Sankarea and Tasogare Otome. Gonna start the others later on.

Only things I've watched in the last two years are P&S w/ GB, Princess Tutu, and Madoka. At some point I figure I'll watch Mushishi, Mononoke or finally break down and buy Captain Tylor, think I saw it for 30 bucks a few months ago.

>>8826994
I have no idea about the manga. It was horrible as a story, or rather it had horrible direction. Maybe "I've consumed over a thousand Jap stories and I can't see much chance of it becoming something entertaining"-horrible.

>>8826994
The manga is absolute shit. I dropped it long ago, I won't even attempt to watch the anime because it can only be just as good as the source material - which is still shit.

>>8827061
>>8827018
I dunno guys, I'd bang Medaka.

>>8827085

Lol i hope your metrosexual father rapes you in the ass and 2-3 jews and niggers help him punching you and putting their legs kicking hard and deep in your ass so you won't be able to walk normally for more then 1 month and you will die from starvation while your whore mother is suking jew dicks infront of you and you can't do nothing biatch

>>8827061
>it can only be just as good as the source material
But that's bullshit.

>>8827097
What are they going to do? Change the entire plot? Switch out all of the terrible characters for good ones? Completely different character designs? Completely re-write all of the dialogue?

It's shit and the anime can't be more than that.

Medaka Box
Kore wa Zombie Season 2
Sankarea
Ghost Yomi starring Takane

Ghost Yomi they said.
She is a fucking Senjougahara clone.

SPACE BROS

I'm still buttfrustrated Yurumates isn't an actual full-length TV series.

I want my Halko Momoi, dammit!

>>8827091
why u mad tho

apoleon
zombie saten
ghost yomi starring takane
fate/zero
lupin

might watch nazo no kanojo and uchuu kyoudai,

Well, fuck me backwards, I have absolutely no fucking clue how they managed it, but Mysterious Girlfriend X is actually a pretty amazing and accurate adaptation.

Needless to say, I did not expect that. Hell, I was 100% sure they were going to fuck it up.

Still, not exactly a /jp/-compatible kind of show, but if you liked the manga, go watch the anime.

Also, it's funny how instantly obvious it is when they get someone who isn't a seiyuu to voice an anime character.

>>8827085
>>8827115
>>8827304
fuck of sluts

>>8827333
>Mysterious Girlfriend X
It's shit

I'm just going to watch the last episode of Mirai Nikki and then I'm mostly done with anime for good.

It's just gotten too repetitive.

so many sion award nominees this season

>>8827368
Yup yup, the autistics will hate it, I know.

>>8827333
>Also, it's funny how instantly obvious it is when they get someone who isn't a seiyuu to voice an anime character.
Yeah, you can tell it's her first role.

>>8827381
I felt that way a year ago. After a certain amount of series and seven years of Japan it really becomes all the same. Anime at least.
Now I just watch one or two series casually, like any TV watcher would. Past season I watched Another for the cheesy horror and Gintama because it's Gintama.

I've been thinking about what Anno said, that "otaku" always like the same things. And I'm wondering what I'll do because no new interest is taking over.

>>8827407
It's not her first role - she's an actress.

It's just that, you know, she speaks like an actual Japanese girl instead of an anime character.

Yes, there's a difference.

>>8827420
Go and get all the series from a single season in, say, 2005.

Watch them like it was the current season.

Then say "it's all the same" once again, I fucking dare you.

>>8827407
I have to watch this right now for the artstyle alone. Why don't most animes look like this anymore?

>>8827436
Because eroge boom, actually.

>>8827422
I had heard that she was in other things before, I meant specifically it was her first role as an anime seiyuu.

Ghost Yomi so moe

>>8827436
wath the newest lupin fagstorm

Dropped Upotte five minutes in since thunder thighs and producer-tier-shitty protagonist.

I like the Ghost Yomi manga more than the Zombie Saten manga, but I thought the Zombie Saten anime was better than the Ghost Yomi anime.

>>8827431
OK, OK, you got me. I somehow forgot the fact that anime wasn't always like this.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:2005_anime
School Rumble, Mushishi, motherfucking FMP! TSR, Aria, Honey and Clover, Pani Poni Dash, Aquarion ('s OST).

I'll reformulate my statement. After watching so many series, in the shitty times we're going through, every awful new anime is all the same.

>>8827420
On second thought I think I'll try Zetman and Uchuu Kyoudai now since they don't seem so generic.

I don't understand how otaku keep eating up most of this shit.

>>8827431
True, but people who insist on watching every show are like pigs eating from a trough.

>>8827481
And after 2012 finishes you'll be able to go to the 2012 category and find just as many good shows.

But if you watch a dozen shows every fucking week, of course it will all blend into one unrecognizable blur.

>>8827500
Nope. Maybe it's because of nostalgia goggles and corrosive depression, but nope.

>>8827481
I used to be like you.
But I think like a year or 2 back, I somehow started to get hook to so called "moeshit" anime. I marathoned Origination, GA, KnJ, all 3season of hidamari, all 3seasons of minami-ke, rewatch azumanga daioh, and rewatch keion.
It wasnt anime that change, it seem my taste changed.
I couldn't stand formulaic loser boy get super power and magically get a harem of girls action shows anymore.

>>8827499
>like pigs eating from a trough.
Nice subtle dig and joke on sudo.
I chuckled.

The only show I'm watching so far this season is Saint Seiya Omega. Despite the goosebumps I had, I found the first episode somewhat disappointing. Granted, most stuff doesn't really happen until episode 2.

>>8827523
SoL =/= moeshit.

Not that there's anything inherently wrong with either.

>I couldn't stand formulaic loser boy get super power and magically get a harem of girls action shows anymore.

Congratulations on growing up.

Zetman might be cool.
Sankarea and Accel world are overhyped & mediocre.
Not really interested in watching the rest though.

>>8827466
That ain't what I mean >:(

>>8827559
>Sankarea and Accel world are overhyped & mediocre.
Overhyped? By whom? /jp/ just goes lolzombiesaten and I didn't see anyone hyping accel world.

Do you go on /a/ or something? Those two seem like the exact type of shonenshit they love, so maybe that's why.

Just watched Zetman, seems good so far. Gonna try Accel World now.

>>8827633
I go to /a/ every time the seasons ends or begins or whenever I just finish an anime
I'm sorry...

wow, it's cool to see that /jp/ has actually better taste in anime than /a/. Not that it is a big achievement but still

spitting image of Saten-san

>>8827752
Why is that green hairpin so badly animated? It can't keep up with her movements.

>>8827772
Really?

>>8827748
What does /a/ like this season, then?

>>8827786

>>8827787
Almost everything, but Lupin, Space Brothers, and MGX seem to be the most popular. Fate/Zero will no doubt become the most popular.

If you do go to /a/, don't bother reading the Lupin threads. There's a vocal minority that thinks that Lupin is for hipsters. It's retarded, I know.

>>8827822
>There's a vocal minority that thinks that Lupin is for hipsters. It's retarded, I know.

The fact that it's an iteration from an old show will surely make hipsters who don't know shit about anime flock to it, though. The anime in itself isn't catering hipsters but the story behind it will surely lure them.

[HorribleSubs] Haiyore! Nyaruko-san – 01 [1080p].mkv

Isn't the one thing we can universally agree on that /jp/ is NOT for anime threads? Maybe anime adaptations or something, but the whole point was to make /a/ the anime board again.

Zetman
Zombie
Acchi Kocchi
Sankarea
Lupin
Accel World
Upotte
Fate

>>8827906
/a/ isn't really talking about anime right now. It's always like this when stuff isn't being released everyday. I'm just killing time, really.

>>8827950
so /jp/ is your personal anime thread dumper? I have nothing against anime, but fuck off with that attitude.

>>8827972
Nah. I was just responding to >>8827787 and lurking. I hope you don't think I'm OP, because I'm not.

>>8827906
Ever since KS, /a/ gradually stopped being about anime. But you're right.

>>8827981
Use the catalog? I see plenty of decent threads.

So I'm watching Nyaruko.

...since when did LN get to quite THIS level of pandering? The protagonist is a boring personality-less cunt, but of course the girl falls in love with him at first sight, acts subservient, tolerates physical abuse - this was really what set me off, when I watched the shorts before I thought there was something more to their relationship, but apparently he just decided that hurting a girl he just met when she's disobedient is just the thing to do.

I mean, I had to stop watching halfway through because it made me physically uncomfortable. What the fuck.

(and before anyone spergs out, it's not about that he's actually hurting her, it's about what the casual depiction of their fucked up relationship signifies about the target audience)

>>8828253
It's not abuse when your partner is an outer god.

>>8828254
That's exactly what I was talking about.

So the new otaku fantasy in Japan is to have a girl they can slap around without consequences? No wonder the birth rate is falling.

At least HSotD(which was a previous show that made me feel similarly disgusted) tried to camouflage the abuse by pretending it was justified by the circumstances, with somewhat mixed results, but this just rolls with it like it's no big deal.

>>8828276
It's a comedy.

>>8828281
And this makes it fine how?

The protagonist is still a self-insert, and the dynamic between him and Nyaruko is still there, doesn't fucking matter whether it's a comedy or not.

Fuck, I'd say that being something that's apparently perfectly fine to include without any justification or developing the characters or their relationship makes it that much worse.

>>8828333
To reiterate: I'm not disturbed because they're including something I deem offensive on purpose, I'm disturbed because they're not even aware it might be offensive.

>>8828253
Girl hits boy it's comedy, boy hits girl it's tragedy. Got it.

>>8828348
You'd have a point if the girl-hits-boys situations where targeted at female audience, but you know damn well they aren't.

Son of a bitch. Don't download the NemDiggers version of the Green Saten show, the audio isn't synced.

>>8828414
Why are you using them anyway? They're just re-encodes.

>>8828419

I generally download the first thing I see because I don't know the differences between groups. Oh well.

Guys, help. I stabbed my mom with a fork after watching Nyaruko and now the police are on their way to my house. What do I do?

>>8828373
Yeah, I did notice in shoujo shows the protagonist is generally a girl, and she takes most the abuse. Not from the guys physically, but she still takes abuse from the environment/other girls/verbal the most.

Better save this thread.

Watching Saki, Medaka Box, Fate Zero, Acchi Kocchi, K-ON!, Green Saten, Zombie Saten, Ghost Saten, Space Brothers so far this season. Still need to watch the rest, but it's pretty entertaining so far.

Uchuu Kyodai, Zetman, Korean Zombie Death Car, Medaka Box, Accel World, Mysterious Girlfriend X for now.

Space Bros is my favorite. The Nazo no Kanojo adaptation was a good surprise too.

>>8826858
>>there still are wannabe Shaft shows to try and take their place.

That makes no sense. Unless you think Shaft invented bright colors and layering textures into their animation or something (they didn't).

Anyways, tons of Satens this season like Anon said. Ghost Saten, Green Saten, Zombie Saten, etc. It's a good season for /jp/.

watching:

zombie of the dead
nyarlko
upotte
lupin
mysterious girlfriend x
fate/0
saki
ghost yomi

considering:
that one with the popular vas
accel world
zombie saten
medaka box

I was going to watch the first one but I heard the characters are all cunts so maybe not. someone said the ntr word for accel world so I think I won't watch it. I can't tell is medaka box is supposed to be good or not. some people are saying it's shit and others are saying it's good. I can't tell which people are the ones with taste and which are the philistines who read it along with naruto every week.

>>8831179
congrats on the marriage

Source on OP?

>>8831179
He probably mean the two different senjogahara-deres.

Wow who would have thought that a director who worked under Shinbo at Shaft and even was the main director for a couple Shaft anime would have a similar style to Shaft.

Take your ignorance back to /a/ OP.

>>8831421
Wow, you know how to Google.

>>8831424
That or I just have some basic knowledge of anime directors (I admit I'm far from an expert).

So, which show has the green Saten?

I'm watching Fate/Zero, Nyaruko, Korean Zombie, Medaka Box and Accel World right now

Look at this ball of condensed moe.
