Usually I watch anime in like a 1 or 2 year lag. But this year I got into Jujutsu Kaisen by chance and liked it a lot

I hardly watch newly released anime but Skip and Loafer and Frieren are some that I really like and enjoyed so far.

no love for Spy x Family?

Have you ever watched Phase Connect vtubers?
Their brand is 'omg she is literally me fr fr' rather than 'omg anime waifus are real' or 'jeebus she's so talented' so they tend to have higher % female viewership than other agencies.
My favorite is Tenma (Uruka best singer tho).

>NOOO YOU'RE NOT SUPPOSED TO SHOW YOUR REAL FACE!!!
Moids would experience existential crisis if they discovered that a real living human being is behind their fictional parasocial girlfriend.

Most of those comments seem genuinely worried about her not upset about the real girl.

Though you're probably right that most of them wouldn't care without the avatar.

I’m a VTuber. I hate moids even more since I started, I’ve never been that close to a male community before and sometimes I can’t understand their logic and how they act. But it’s good money, and I actually have fun playing games and being silly.

>most of the comments are expressing concern for her privacy or employment
I don't understand what this picture is supposed to demonstrate.

anyone go to metal concerts? how do you find people to go with? there are a few bands i like doing shows in my area by i dont want to go alone.

>>32000
Lol i was just listening two of her albums today! That was pretty cool and different!

>>32080
i just dmed a girl on instagram who takes pictures at metal/post hardcore shows nearby and befriended her. within two days of talking she sent me a flyer to a nearby show and introduced me to the scene.

with that being said be wary of moids who invite you to shows, some of them expect "something in return" /:

I really like metal, but everytime I meet a moid who likes it too is one of two. They either like numetal/metallica in which I don't care, you like whatever you do, but act like they are the biggest metalhead in the universe, or they're NSBM listeners. I don't even need to comment on that. I wish I met more girls that were into metal from where I am. Sadge.

I find it funny that metal fans used to complain about pop music and even some rock because it was formulatic and repetitive, but modern metal has become exactly the same, just a bunch of bands trying to sound as fast/agressive/loud as possible ignoring basic music concepts.
Even the heavier and more extreme genres used to have a great sense of rythim, harmony and melody, but that seems mostly gone.

Of course, not every modern metal band is like this, I'm just talking about the general trends.

Have you seen Batman (1966)? That one is goofy and fun and better than the Nolan output. The 1989 film also does a good job of blending the campy elements with a Gothic atmosphere and has a good Jack Nicholson performance.

I similarly find the Nolanverse overrated because I find them too self-serious particularly Dark Knight. Heath Ledger is doing a good job, but the character he's playing might as well not be Joker. Same with Bane and Scarecrow, Nolan was so concerned with realism he striped the appealing parts of their comic book counterparts away.

For me it's most Ghibli films. I only liked a few films of theirs. The rest rely too much on pretty visuals, which are nice but can't hold up a film alone for me. Pom Poko is one of their best yet people almost never talk about it.

>>32742
Rewatching some of Ghibli's films made me realize how paper thin the plots are. Even the majority of the scenes just serve as eye candy. Without really move the plot forward or having any impact on the overall story. They're basically short films with a ton of padding for a feature length runtime. Also you notice how the characters tend to blend together. They have bland and near identical personalities to each other. Like they copy and pasted the character's personality, motivations and backstory for each film.

>>32398
The lighthouse is what would happen if you asked someone who'd never seen an arthouse film to make an arthouse film.

Whit Stillman movies. I saw Metropolitan and Last Days at Disco. They were both just 3/5 stars to me, fine to pass the time but forgettable. But for a lot of people these are part of their favorite movies ever, which I just don't understand.

I just dislike how tumblr-ish the writing feels. Jax made me cringe. I liked ragetha and pomni though. The whole thing about pomni wanting to find an exit and forgetting her life before the circus is so interesting. I can't wait to see them expand on it.

The sad thing about zoomer trends is that they come and go so fast. Becoming "cringe" because of how short the average attention spans are now.

>>32793
This won't become "cringe" anytime soon unless of course the creators get outed as "problematic" obviously"
Fandoms and the drivel they love tends to have staying power.

For a show called The Digital Circus it's weird that only two characters are kinda circus themed (plus the tent but only from the outside). Should be called The Digital Playground or Digital Funhouse or something like that. Or commit to the circus theme, I love circus themed characters and settings

I've got news for you… (it's a tranny)

>>32329
i hate this character design so much im even saging this thread so i don't have to see it in the catalogue

I'm reading Relationsip Guidelines at the moment. I have only read few chapters but it seems to be very well made. Happy to see more quality GL manhwas.

>>32427
Green room? If it’s not that do you know what country or language it is in?

>>32438
It was in English, I watched this in Turkey

not anime but too hilarious to not post

the original Devilman OVA where they basically grabbed some bums off the street and made them record
>my father is DEEAD

Listening to war propaganda is kinda eerie. Knowing these songs fueled the deaths of countless people.

>Knowing these songs fueled the deaths of countless people
Well that's part of the appeal, it's art born from absolute dedication to an ideology no matter what they need to do to achieve it. Resistance songs or songs from the defender's side are specially beautiful but sad.

I do. Mostly to Japanese war songs:

The militant and religious fanaticism of this one is sometimes made obscure by the liberal secularwashing of the cause of abolition. Now that we're no longer Christians by and large we like to remember the role that Christianity played in spreading and legitimizing slavery but like to forget the role that fanatical religious reformism played in abolishing it. Britons seem to feel that it is their duty and obligation to play Dawkins to America's evangelicals so become offended at the suggestion that militant Anglican revival played the historical role that it did in inspiring the British Empire to take seriously the enforcement of slave trade embargoes on the seas. It is harder to ignore the religious fundamentalism that motivated Northern Abolitionists, since their propaganda pieces all revolved around it. The relatively higher religiosity of the South today is the strongest argument for secularwashing abolition. And the South did have plenty of religious themes, songs and propaganda at the time. But none of them, for my money, are as powerful, striking, or occasionally bone-chilling as the Battle Hymn. "Let us die to make men free." There's a shiver in those words, regardless of the virtue of the cause they were spent on.

I disagree on this one. These people need to be confronted with the inherent contradictions of their ideas as much as possible.
It would be good to remind them constantly that abolitionists were not godless secular invaders like they think they were, but instead people who were more devout that they are now.

Oh, it's the nona who saw Love and Pop the other day. Hmm…
You could watch Christiane F if you liked Love and Pop. I thought it was more serious and dark compared to it.

I've seen the face of another and it's one of the boring movies I've seen in my life, lol. Belladonna of Sadness made no sense to me. Your taste is cool. I try to give "artistic" movies a try but most of the time it flies over my head so I prefer things being literal and personal.

Some of the movies that I watched recently and loved were Aftersun, Worst Person in the World and I'm thinking of Ending Things. Aftersun was so good.
I watched The Green Knight, In the Mouth of Madness, Sorry to Bother you, John Wick 4 and Right Now, Wrong Then and I thought they were okay movies but not worth recommending to someone else.
I don't have a letterboxd account btw.

I just watched this funny Spanish short from the 70's and wanted to share it somewhere. Now I can stalk OP's letterboxd to see if she watches it.

>>32966
> i'm not the op haha
Wow, I thought it was you because of high ratings to all the artsy fartsy Japanese movies, lol. Also thanks.
