In which we discuss important topics like:

>which anime is the best and why is it G Gundam

Note for the UC geeks: an anon is translating Gundam Senki over at smug/tg/ and has discovered an absolute treasure trove of background material. Ever wanted to know how Char could have ganked Amuro at Side 7 or why Zeon keeps popping up like fucking dandelions decades after the OYW ended? Now you can!

I used to like Re:Zero but the more I continue reading the more I realize the author makes up shit as he goes, he didn’t plan ahead or anything, and still the beginning was the best part of the story. I don’t think it will ever have a satisfying conclusion, so it’s pointless to keep up.
Discuss what you’re reading.
Mostly wanted to talk about anime airing right now and post screenshot. Let's keep them all in a single thread to not flood the board.
Sometime shitty isekai and shitty fantasy anime can be comfy.
which one would you colonize?
Post screencaps of manga/anime or funny reaction images.
What is the best translation for Psycho Path? If there even is a good one.
Didn't see a good place to ask this so figured I'd throw it out there and perhaps make a thread for people to ask questions that don't deserve a whole thread.
What was the first anime you've ever watched?
Why are gyarus so perfect?
A bunch of publishers just DMCA'd the site and it seem 700+ manga got removed. This might be the start of the end in a chapter of manga history online.
Why are Japanese female writers so into making Chinese themed works? is it just another case of women loving foreigners? or some autistic Japanese tradition?
Why are Japanese anime MCs
>dense to an inhuman degree (both to their power and romance) or
>dickless (have zero interest for romance even though girls throw themselves to him)
>stupid (very few MC use traps, have detailed strategies, even when he knows his enemies are coming)
>mentally fragile (Get in the fucking robot, or locking himself in a room after killing someone/monster in self-defense)
>god forbids non-happy ending in harem (given the choice of picking one of many, why not both/all, or even just pick one)
A lot of animes are unwatchable because the author is so much of a cuck to project the MC to be a cuck as well. It's so frustrating to get in a good story and have the MC stops the show.
Post webm's or videos with sound
Edits/AMVs welcome for now
Trying this sort of thread out on nu-/a/, keep it anime, keep it manga, but most importantly, keep it fun. BO/Mods kill it if you like, or dictate to keep it without edits since that can be a slippery slope to shit content, we'll see where it goes
I tried to reread Jojolion to understand what Araki left behind when he finished it, but I was baffled by just more contradictions.
>we know rock humans the only known source of the fruit sell it to very rich people like celebrities and athletes for 200 million yen
>but we discover that Holly was experimenting on the Locacaca in a lab she created at T.G University Hospital. Her motive was to cure viruses and germs, However, she failed in her research because viruses are living organisms.
>Tamaki Damo was very very careful about anyone stealing the fruit to research it, to the point they weight the tree after every transaction.
>Kira and Josefumi manage to steal a branch, to grow a fruit and heal Holly's illness
>Damo finds out
>they were so meticulous they checked every ill person in japan until they got into Holly and her son kira, because no one would steal the fruit except to cure an illness
>but they never knew about Holly having her own lab before coming into the hospital
>Holly's disease was related to her brain, she started becoming forgetful
>her CAT scans show parts of her internal organs and her brain missing with almost surgical precision, not turned into rocks
at first I thought this is a clue, that she was ill because of something other than the fruit, but..
>in chapter 92 we find out the rock is moving across her body
this made me believe that maybe, to hide the experiments on her done by Doctor Wu, they managed to make the rock parts move, to not appear on the scans. but this was never stated outright.
>the story ends with Holly remaining ill despite saving her being Josuke's whole motivation to chase the fruit
So Holly got the fruit from an unknown third party? a party that doesn't charge money probably, because she had enough to create a lab, this was never elaborated upon and how possible it is.
Also it's unconfirmed if her disease was caused by the fruit through the clinical trials, but implied to be, as the Locacaca mostly targets the head area and will cause similar symptoms. But the manga doesn't even tell us how she was tricked into consuming the fruit in the first place.
None of this make sense to me, only logical order of events, for her disease to not be caused by the fruit, but tricking people into believing so by mimicking the same symptoms, and the rock humans will still do their experiments, as their goal all along was to develop a new Locacaca fruit, that doesn't have side effects like targeting the brain. But Araki in one chapter magically created moving rocks across her body, and never explained why they move only in Holly's case.
What I'm sure of, is that there's a mysterious person who never showed up in the story, and is related to Josefumi being a Joestar, which Araki retconned when the manga ended despite Kerara promising to come back again and tell Josuke important information regarding Josefumi but she never did.
OI TEME!!!
The great Mitsuhashi-sama says this is now a delinquent board.
First thread that isn't a rulecuck thread!
Welcoming thread and also a "what are you watching and reading rn" thread.
If you were to run down a top ten of what makes a harem anime a harem anime and what are the biggest, most recognizable cliches, what would they be?
Does anyone still remember or like this genre in this age?

What's your favorite pre-Y2K anime? Mine is OG Dragon Ball
You came for Urobutcher but stayed for the puppets.
This match was a superb psychological analysis. it shows how the herd mentality is formed, people become the same not necessarily by only following orders but also by acting reactionary, like how a democrat who only basis his political beliefs on what republicans dislike, or the opposite, so eventually they become two sides of the same coin. and it's easy to predict their thoughts and lead them to one conclusion or the other.
I like it here, hope fags realize 4/a/ is so bad and isn't about anime at all, but socializing through it, and find themselves here
I would like to get into light novels. Please recommend some, especially the ones that aren't the most popular.
What are some manga/anime that delves into Buddhist themes and concepts? Like not something that's literally about Buddhism like "Buddha" from Osamu Tezuka, just a normal manga that subtly mentions it. Think of it like how Gnosticism is often used in many manga.
I searched and only found Land of the Illustrious and some say Shamo but didn't read it as of yet.
The place where we talk about our kawaii imoutos.
which baki arc is your favorite?
for me it's the sumo arc
I'm not really sure where the rest of the anons from 4chan /a/ might've gone since the fall, but I figure somebody should at least keep up the posting of new chapter Raws, and here is as good a place as any.
So here's Chapter 154
How did the japs get away with it?
Thread for mainly discussing the latest chapters, for the Elbaf Arc.
>Elbaf Arc
After decades of anticipation since Little Garden, we finally reached Elbaf, and the major is that the God Knights are invading.
>Kid's Defeat
Eustass Kid, a rival to Luffy, arrives at Elbaf intending to claim the final Road Poneglyph. However, he is utterly defeated by Shanks and his fleet, demonstrating the overwhelming power of the Red-Haired Pirates.
>Saul and the Ohara Survivors
Elbaf also reconnects with the mystery of Jaguar D. Saul, who survived the Ohara incident. Saul has been recovering in Elbaf, protected by the giants. His knowledge of the books saved from Ohara is likely critical to the final pieces of the Void Century puzzle.
>The Final Road Poneglyph’s Location:
Currently possessed by the "man with the burn scar"
>Elbaf’s Library and History:
Elbaf has its own ancient texts and relics from the Void Century, colelcted from the Ohara surviving books.

There isn't a single good anime adaptation of a VN. As I am reading Muramasa, no matter how much I would like it to have an anime, I realize they are going to cut out all the inner monologue and narration and dumb it down to some shonenshit
