- Comment on Federation issues with .ml HSR community? 1 day ago:
Lemmy.ml defederated from ani.social a long time ago.
I suggest using a different account that federates with both instances (like lemmy.world, lemm.ee, lemmy.dbzer0.com, etc). Sorry if it’s a bit inconvenient, but there’s not much I can do about it.

A little update: Lemmy-UI made over 1500 zombie processes and I noticed that the other frontends aren’t going down so I assume it’s a Lemmy-UI issue. I’m trying to figure out what’s causing this but I’ll keep you and this thread updated.

I’ve been getting the downtime emails but the status page is definitely not reporting correctly. I’ll check what’s wrong over the weekend.

I didn’t realize you’ve been posting Asako here! I just wrote about it in the weekly thread. I just stumbled upon it while my friend and I were browsing Mangadex the other day lol. I’ll try to catch up when I can!
- Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2025, Week 04] 1 week ago:
I finally found a new read that I might like. It’s called Asako. It’s an age gap manga so it might not be for everyone but I’ve read a few before (My Boy and After the Rain). It has a bit of mystery to it and the plot is non-linear so that makes it more enjoyable for me. Anyway, for those interested, it’s about a man who reminisces a woman he met when he was a young boy set in a small coastal town. Her identity is a mystery however. I’m only a few chapters in and I like it so far.
- Comment on Did rap become more popular in asia in recent years? 2 weeks ago:
I don’t listen to pop music much but hip hop has been popular in Korea for a long time now. Same with neighboring East Asian and Southeast Asian countries. I guess they’re just not nearly as popular overseas but they’re mainstream enough locally you’ll hear it wherever you go.

Neon Genesis Evangelion. I remember reading somewhere that every anime since NGE is just a spin-off of NGE lol

Oh boy I have a lot but the one that stands out is Paprika. It’s the only Satoshi Kon film I haven’t seen. I don’t know when I’m ready to watch it yet.

Yeah I think Stevem makes clickbaity titles too. His anime director video series are titled “THE [DIRECTOR’S NAME] PROBLEM” which made me hestitant to watch. But after watching the Love & Pop segment in his Hideaki Anno video, I realized he does his research surprisingly well.
- Comment on How Elf Girls Took Over Anime 4 weeks ago:
Actually he does mention Deedlit (Record of Lodoss War) a lot throughout the video.

- Comment on If Anime Doesn't Get an Oscar Nomination Next Year, Then Film Is Dead 1 month ago:
The article title is… something.
It’s not just anime but every non-American film industry and culture is under-represented in the Academy Awards. There’s a lot of good movies put out by other regions but because the Academy Awards has a small segment called “Foreign Films”, naturally you’ll have so many countries competing for a spot there.
Because of this, I wouldn’t rely on the Academy Awards to decide what movies are “best”. I also wouldn’t say that “film is dead” even if anime (or any other non-American film industry) doesn’t get a nomination. Saying something like that is absurd because it implies that film is defined by Oscar nominations somehow.
- Comment on Manga Questions, Recommendations, and Discussion Thread [2024, Week 48] 2 months ago:
Just finished the Evangelion manga recently.
I actually liked how it follows most of the original Evangelion but less tragic. It gave some important moments to the each of the cast members but the changes aren’t nearly as drastic as Evangelion Rebuild I think.
Between all the Evangelion endings, I still like The End of Evangelion the most. After reading the manga, somehow I kind of appreciate the tragedy in EoE more. I can’t imagine anyone walked out of the theater with a happy face during the original run lol
Now, to satisfy my unending thirst for Evangelion, I shall read Shinji Ikari Raising Project.

Reading the post and the top comments, I don’t think people are upset that she’s flat.
(OP)
First of all I just want to say holy mother the real Herta looks absolutely gorgeous 😭🙏.
After looking upon her magnificent figure, I noticed her chest is flat. I don’t think we had a maiden model who’s flat chested before. This could indicate that devs may start testing the waters with their models

fuck yeah, slender women!!!
The controversial comments are horny people. Except one who said “Lame” (-16).
This one is funny though:
the lord is real, we’re finally getting women without overinflated balloons that have stupid physics!

There’s a wave of casuals playing League of Legends again which I think is nice. Over the past years, Riot was struggling to get new players to play because of how complex MOBAs are and people getting completely stomped by smurfs. I guess the solution was Worlds and Arcane lol (and all the little new player things they added).

I was going through some of Anno’s older works and found this gem. He also made an Ultraman fan film with him as Ultraman.

- Comment on Look Back - Movie Discussion 2 months ago:
I’ve seen I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Kimisui (the short title, because it’s so long lol) kind of feels like getting stabbed in the chest then it’s over. Like what @wjs018@ani.social said, Look Back wasn’t very emotional, at least in the same sense as Kimisui.
Kimisui / Look Back spoilers
Kimisui banks on the audience’s anticipation on when Yamauchi dies because it’s pre-established that she does die (movie opens with her funeral). The twist takes a different form. There’s also the reveal of the main character’s name. After Yamauchi dies and the MC goes through a cathartic moment, life goes on for him. In Look Back, I kept thinking to myself “oh it’s not over yet?” There are several moments after the “twist” when I thought the movie was going to end already but it kept going (for good reasons) so the emotion you feel is a bit different. Perhaps a bit dull. Maybe you can say Look Back doesn’t have a “climax” in the same way Kimisui does. Also, Kimisui is grounded completely on reality while Look Back has a segment where two timelines converge. So maybe the realism in Kimisui makes it more emotional maybe.
- Comment on Look Back - Movie Discussion 2 months ago:
My friend’s been bugging me to read the manga years ago so now I can say that I “read” it. It was kind of depressing to watch though.
I’m guessing Fujino and Kyoumoto are two parts of the author (Fujimoto) and it’s essentially his response to how a mangaka keeps on going. The manga was released during the Chainsawman hiatus and I’m guessing there are other references to his other past works.
Despite that, I’m still figuring out what Kyoumoto means to him. It’s a silly thing to think about but assuming he’s both Fujino and Kyoumoto, and he uses Fujino to represent the mangaka we know, then who is Kyoumoto?
And if anyone hasn’t, definitely read Fujimoto’s other one shot “Goodbye Eri”.

A bit late but happy birthday /c/anime! Honestly, I owe @wjs018@ani.social a lot for revitilizing this community and for making it into what it is today. They’ve been our biggest financial contributor and have also made me aware of some significant issues with the instance in the past. Thank you for your hard work! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

I never thought of Spirited Away that way but now that you mention it, it does resemble isekai.
