The english dub of this show is better than the english sub. It doesn't follow the japanese dub at all and almost feels like an abridged series.

Just finished season one and wondered if I should read the manga?

Anonymous 36524

Yes. It's pretty good if you like eating glass. The glass gets sharper every day

It's a lot of suffering ahead and not really worth reading if your just in it for gay rock stuff. It's VERY worth it if you're into the buddhist themes and religious symbolism though.

Season 1 implies a story upon which the manga very much does not deliver. I'd say read it and try to enjoy the ride.

The internet sucks Anonymous 36695[Reply]

Does anyone else feel like the whole of the internet sucks now? I mean I grew up on it when the algorithms and heavy advertising were already a thing, because of them what I consumed never felt super genuine or exciting at that time already (2009-2020ish). But now it’s ten times worse. AI slop everywhere. Corporate slop everywhere. You can’t trust what you see anymore. The only times I feel genuine excitement on the internet is when I am interacting with artists/regular people or media that those people make one on one. And I feel extra sad for kids and young teens now. I mean theres more I can say here, about the underground, how thats a safe place, but now commercialised and made into slop. How important it is to place knowledge and research and efforts to find community by yourself not take what you are fed. I can say a lot. Bottom line is these kids will be retarded and lost and miserable if they use the internet the way corporations want you to. And it’s sad that it’s like this because it’s so easy to just consume slop. The internet sucks and I’m mad that most people are complacent with shitting on this beautiful tool we have.

Everyone treats the internet as a money making scheme. You got AI generated slop on Facebook. You got grifters on X. You have wannabe influencers on instagram. You have parasocial relationship parasites on YouTube and Twitch. YouTube videos are so shit now. 50 minute drivel of some interesting unique fact no one cares about regurgitated through an AI script plagiarized from Wikipedia with mini ads peppered throughout and a video sponsor scam like Betterhelp.
The internet went to crap once iPhones and iPod touch screens enabled users to access it anywhere anytime in the late 2000s. Now everyone states brain dead at their screens consuming whatever slop is on their algorithm driven feeds which btw alter the way you think (look up social cooling).
No wonder why everyone’s miserable, we’re getting conditioned into becoming a hive mind with the media we surround ourselves with. And the media is dictated by algorithms. Most are too stupid to adjust their algorithm and just cave into whatever brainwashing thing that’s up next.

Video from before youtube was unironically better, on two fronts. Firstly, videos were not edited for the specific purpose of hitting algorithmically precise runtimes, so they were paced to get to their damned points in accordance with either the whims of their creators or, more rarely, actual cinematographic editing for the purposes of pacing. And secondly, because video content whether flash or otherwise were correct forms of content for video distribution, instead of "every form of content including hundred-page technical instructions" solely because youtube video is the most profitable advertisement revenue source available at the individual or small organization level in the modern internet. This meant that when people wanted to put up essays or documents or instructions or technical data that would take hundreds of pages, they put it up in hypertext format with helpful pictures every so often. And that meant that search engines… actually worked. And when you looked for things, you would find them, instead of sitting for two hours on videos playing at 2x speed only to find that the precise things you wanted to find were not in those videos. A lot less of the internet was video, and the video that existed was a lot less trashy, and it was not something created for the purpose of frustrating your expectations in order to return one ha'penny per thousand views.

Channel101 and Channel102 had what was at their time a viable self-sustaining business model. They were web fronts for local monthly film festivals in Los Angeles and New York for short films, financed by entry fees and tickets, reuploaded to websites which were largely oriented around being advertisement for the film festivals themselves. Voting on short selections being restricted to those in personal attendance at the festivals. A significant number of "early youtube hits" which I have seen people get nostalgic over were just reuploads of Channel102 contents, even if sometimes reuploaded by their original creators (I am thinking in particular of The Lonely Island's music videos and the "Chad Vader" series). Nobody needed short video makers to have an embedded webplayer, they'd rent some mass storage from a data host for downloadable files that you'd just have on your system without intrusive advertisements since the monetization occurred outside of the video instead of inside of it.

PDF Dump Thread Anonymous 24751[Reply]

I don't think crystal.cafe has ever had one before in it's whole history (although as an imageboard the posting format would support it I assume). I suppose this can serve as a place to just dump any pdf you might have, be it fiction, nonfiction, biographies, cook books, manuals. Really anything that is a pdf. I think this would also serve as a good place for us to exchange our literature, especially for the more GC oriented posters.

Giivamber's music for the B-Sides soundtrack is so good, she's a very talented composer in the male-dominated field of VGM and just overall criminally underrated.
