dunno if this is the right thread, but I doubt it matters. I've been watching "yani neko" because I saw it was making waves due to it being "too gross" or whatever. I only watched 2 episodes and so far I've only seen 2 scenes - both of which early in the first episode I assume to establish yani's character - which would be considered seriously gross. so not really as much of a big deal as I thought. it's ok so far, I like all the characters and their very annie may over the top spergout reactions. the art and animations are also pretty gud, I liked the shots with shifting perspective and the close ups of the hands, a little less so a lot of the goofy faces the character makes sometimes. both opening and closing themes are also pretty good.

I watched episode 3 and 4, and I must say everything about this has kinda taken a turn for the worse. a couple new characters were introduced and they're not that interesting, more gross scenes, and the animation quality has dipped a bunch. there are maybe 1 or 2 shots at the beginning which are well animated, everything else is pretty sub par. also a significant portion of the episodes has been very obviously forced and gratuitous fan service which only seems to be there to pad and make you forget about the shortcomings. I'll continue it for another couple episodes and see it if recovers or pivots in a better direction otherwise I think I might drop it. with that said it made me want to get a pair of sku 10001 color 209 crocs.

done with episodes 5, 6, 7, and 8. it did recover slightly, there were a couple scenes which made me legit lol. still, the novelty has for the most part worn off, even though they keep introducing like 1-2 new characters per episode. I thought the plot was going to go somewhere, maybe with yani trying to overcome her addiction (something which is hinted at in the first episodes) but no. it's just an assortment of thinly connected sol segments about their daily lives. I also don't get the title, yes yani is indeed the main focus, or rather was in the earlier episodes, but as the cast grew it became more "yani neko & friends" or "cat girls with various vices featuring the chainsmoker cat girl who shows up slightly more prominently doing ordinary or sometimes less ordinary things" 

also, also, the landlord guy is the best character, he should've been the true protagonist.  the scenes with him are the ones that genuinely made me lol.

I watched episode 9 yesterday, episode 10 also came out yesterday and I was going to watch it as well but ended up watching it today. I dunno it keeps being just "ok" punctuated by glimmers of good every now and then that keep me from dropping it. I think I'll stick to it for the time being. I like how it doesn't take itself seriously at all. now official zzzchan powerranking of the characters so far:
<ugly bastard gigachad goated to the max tier
>landlord
<best girl tier
>yakuko
>aruko
<good tier
>yaniko
>imoko
>penpen
<still ok for a tertiary character tier
>president of that one magazine
>his goon
>shizue

>>1520
oh I forgot to mention episode 9 had the most gross scene by far, truly revolting, I had a little trouble keeping my eyes on the screen and I guess I blocked it mentally.

Was it a comfy club anime?
Does it have any cats? 
The only thing I know about it is the clingy sister.

>>1388
There’s no cats but there’s a clingy loli so she can pass as one

loli are just big slow moving cats after all.

Do you enjoy rock collecting?

What's clubby, came out sort of recently and worth watching?

>>1513
I had assumed he would be the typical weak self insert male character. Does he ever act like a proper brother or does she have him completely wrapped around her fingers?

Should sisters follow the natural order?

>>1514
the two only interact with each other during the story mode and during that time it's mostly them working on stuff related to their job
they're in this weird spot where they're not really independent characters but they're not really full-on self inserts either
so when you're doing game events and stuff, which is when most of the character fluff is happening, you're supposed to sort of forget that the other protagonist exists for the time being
t. only played up to the end of the season 1 interlude

>>1515
what biological quirk explains this phenomenon?
do anime wombs first do a trial run where they birth a perma-midget built like a washing board, then they birth a real woman who will forever heightmog and chestmog their older sister?
i mean, that entire top row was built to watch their boyfriends having sex with their imouto

>>1517
Maybe stress, disease or malnutrition could stunt their growth?
Definitely fits for Tatsumaki but I don't know about the rest. 
The artist's thinly disguised fetish?

>>998
There's nothing wrong with it pleasing lesbos. I do agree that anime romance is usually better when it's more fun and perhaps features some personal growth than just being drama/abuse central that a lot of women's romance seems to be for whatever unhealthy reason.

I got oddly invested in "Yuri is Taboo to a Yuri Otaku." I've been slowly following it and forgetting about it for a while, but I guess I'm kind of sad it's over. I wasn't expecting to be sad over such a nonplus story.
I think the moment I fell in love with it was this panel. The MC is such a fucking small, cute, dork.
Nothing special happens in this. It's dumb. The plot is...average. I don't care, though. Sometimes you're good with just plain bread, you know?

Ever been going through TV channels and see one of those soap operas and think, "This is STILL on the air?!"
Picrel. Every year or so I check in and am like, "O.k., now it's a sports manga about dodgeball or wtf?"
Like it was supposed to be a one-off gag "lul dubious consent love potion lolololol," but now it just won't end. Meanwhile, you've got a BAJILLION one-shots with the most interesting premise in the world, and that all end in dubious cliffhangers.
Life just ain't fair, man.

I think it's in human nature to have empathy and try to rationalise. So when confronted with 'evil', some people confort themselves by dehumanizing the people comiting it but others try to humanization and give them a motive, a justification. The truth is that sometime they are sadists and narcissists that are otherwise normal humans like anyone else.
The demonniggers aren't humans, they got their own mindset and so far in the anime(I have some early volume of the manga but I'm up to date only with the anime) they have been showned to be incompatible with humanity. They are barely able to work together too. However there was a demon girl that seemed interested in humans but still felt nothing about killing them, it was also revealed there is another 'eccentric' demon who is also interested in humans; perhaps there are some very very rare exceptions but I feel it would be like a scientist who is curious and doesn't care about hurting his subjects rather than someone trying to co-exist with humans out of fascination.
The story also goes out of its way to show that some humans still show pity toward young demons pretending to be helpless crying kids despite it being almost common knowledge that it's all fake. I feel the moral is more about empathy being humanity's greatest strenght since it allow them to work together and have a working society rather than a couple of faggot who sometime band together to do some

>>1377
>I feel the moral is more about empathy being humanity's greatest strenght since it allow them to work together and have a working society 
I don't disagree with your sentiment, but I definitely disagree that that's the morale here. I mean how MANY times does Frieren have to have:
>Demon inna village
>Humans "Maybe we can trust them...???"
>Humans get slaughtered/maimed/etc.
For the suicidal empathy thing to not be completely apparent that that's the morale going on here?
>Himmel trying to save the demon child, only for the demon child to kill her parents.
>Lugner fooling Graf Granat with a peace offering.
>Revolte tricking Genau with a fake child.
Etc., they're constantly fucking with humans' empathy, and humans constantly fuck with demons' ego and pride.

>>1379
You forgot half of my statement, it's a doubled-edge strength. Not having any empathy make you weaker but over-empathizing make you prone to being manipulated.
Frieren is an old hag, she learned a long time ago what demons truly are so they should never trusted. The other characters are mostly 'young' humans who don't have a thousand years of demonnigger fatigue to know the extent of their perfidiousness. It's in the nature of a human to show empathy to their own and thus by extent to human-looking demons. Most of them probably never saw demons before so they never knew, but it has been shown that not all humans get tricked because they been taught properly about demons. Some learn the hard way and might not fully accept the fact demons are that way because they anthropomorphize the demons believing that not all demons are the same, which while technically true, is not the case for the point of human-demon relations.

I feel the true moral in this is not the danger of over-empathizing but rather of excess anthropomorphism. Because without the latter, people wouldn't apply empathy to animals and other non-humans to the same degree. As an exemple of my point take a horse that broke its legs during a race: sure the horse is in pain because it broke its leg, but it's not sad that he lost the race. 
Too much empathy on non-humans get you stuff like anti-natalists vegans who prefer animals to humans aka mental il

Can't believe the reason I watched Nadja in the first place was because of a gachimuchi version of the opening and I thought the music was good so I got interested in the actual anime. I still think the final part of the opening(tv size) is better in the final dance part with the gachimuchi version.

With those 98 bills, If rice is around 500-1000 yen per kilo that's still in the region of 49,000 to 98,000 yen.
That's around 6000NOK.

Thought someone else would be here while 4c is in maintenance.

What makes him so good at portraying these evocative scenes? The One Punch Man Webcomic is still incredibly enjoyable. 
While his art can be rough around the edges everything drips with such vivid character and dynamism.

>>1394 (OP) 
Been enjoying Versus and the webcomic a lot.
Kinda tuned out of Bug EGO these days but it's still nice to read.

Honestly mob100 is peak ONE for me, it's clearly mostly his art (character desighn) and writing that I enjoy without the webcomic OPM roughness that is sometimes almost unreadable.
Don't care for OPM manga and couldn't get into Versus, I will try it again now that it has more chapters and I'm not tired of isekai.

Is your favorite drink water?

>>1448
Everything drinkable is made out of water. Juice? Water with bits of fruits in it. Cola? Water with syrup and gas in it. Coffee? Coffee beans infused in water.
The other drinkable liquids are oil, ethanol and vinegar. Ethanol is fine but it's diluted in WATER once again in all the drinkable alcohols there is. Good luck drinking oil and vinegar by themselves. Vinegar mixed with water is something the Roman did and once more water is present.
Just like my tastes in anime girls, water is superior and the basis of everything good. You retarded niggers just want to jug the anime girl equivalent of corn oil and just like actual oil and water your tastes don't mix with good tastes.

>>1449
>gets mocked for having bland taste
>defends it by using "its an ingredient" logic
Maybe I should've asked if flour was your favorite food instead.

either is fine tbh

>>1450
Yeah unironically it is. I bake my own bread too
However water by itself can be drank and it's not even an ingredient just a solve. Juice is still water but with random shit in it. Hell regular water always has shit in it which change its taste.
