- Comment on AI-generated isekai novel that won a literary contest Grand Prize and Reader’s Choice award has its book publication and manga adaptation cancelled 2 days ago:
I don’t know anything about this contest, but if it won the reader’s choice then doesn’t that mean the actual audience liked it? The isekai crowd is used to human made slop already to why not ai slop.

In short: finished up zetsubou sensei, finished up ichigomashimaro, new game, nhk ni youkoso, aria, yurumeitsu, slow start, oomuroke dear friends, tanaka kun chibi version, tamako market/love story, bottle faries, city, ika musume, the new gintama.
I watched two current shows this year which is a lot for me. I really liked CITY of course. The highlight of the year has to be the whole series ARIA. It’s a top 5 anime for me. It does the really special thing where I end up crying without being sad. Suteki!
In terms of this season I watched the Gintama spinoff. It was definitely worth watching. However, I was watching Ika Musume in between and I did notice that I was more excited on days where I watched Ika-chan. I guess I’m a truly lost cause when it comes to moe.

Interesting. I have heard bad things about the animation of this show. I have seen some things by J.C. Staff, and never really struck me as bad. Just some days ago I saw ARIA The CREPUSCOLO and ARIA The BENEDIZIONE done by J.C. Staff. Apart from getting used the different way of drawing faces compared to the other studio, it looked very pretty and I didn’t notice any lack of frames.

I think I’ll check it out when it comes out. And CITY was very good!

Thanks for your input.
- Comment on Ruri Dragon Anime Officially Announced! | Studio: KyoAni 1 week ago:
Thanks, I think I’ll check it out when it comes. Kind of sounds like a more serious Ika Musume. Hopefully not too serious.

Is this a cute slice of life or something with action? Since it is published in jump. I can’t quite tell from reading about it without spoiling myself. Anilist has Iyashikei as a tag?

Thanks! Technically it is the other way around. I started learning to be able to understand untranslated Anime. But it is definitely a good way to learn indeed.

There were a lot of references to gintama episodes in this one.
spoiler
- og gintama intro (swaggering aliens are just western tourists 💀) - shinpachi introduction scene - pre shinpachi yorozuya - food stall episode where you don’t see their faces until the end - joui reunion - cyborgs are maybe a post death yamazaki reference - everyone in barrels: that arc with soul reapers where they were stuffed in barrels - zura as game character: there were multiple episodes where they were in a RPG world

I have tried lightly reading some of my ARIA volume, without dictionary or computer. The beginning is very hard because of the exposition. After that it is mostly characters in conversation, which is easier to follow. I think I can understand more than half in those parts. There are also some lines not in bubbles that are hand drawn and without furigana. That’s gonna be difficult.

- Comment on What is your best anime-related song? 3 weeks ago:
OPs and EDs? It’s hard to choose, there are so many good ones.
Live songs? Yuru Yuri live events are peak seiyuu aidoru especially the first season OP and ED 😤
Insert songs? I really don’t know off the top of my head!
Songs sung by characters? THAT one from ARIA (not spoiling it). And the songs from K-ON! (also written by them). I also liked the graduation song from Non Non Biyori.
BGM? ARIA and Hidamiri Sketch have some OST that have vocals and are thus songs technically. Most of them don’t have lyrics but if we count it then I pick those.
Character songs? Probably more Yuru Yuri songs especially the live versions. Lucky Star has great ones especially those where they sing karaoke together.

Good choices, definitely best girls from each anime.

As a moe enjoyer this question is way too hard… I think I need a year of hard work to select a top 10 🤣

It seems we’re getting some kind of arc. If they do two episodes then it’s a classic Gintama mini arc. Sachi had some of the funniest episodes with Gin and Zura and now he’s been brought back and arrested. Maybe I’m asking for too much but it’d be funny to see him in jail.

I hope it will be adapted for you de geso. I don’t read much manga, I always feel like I want to read it in Japanese but it is very muzukashii de geso :) Although I might be close to trying it out again.

I started watching Shinryaku! Ika Musume! Quite a basic show but the squid girl is cute, what more do you need? I like how it’s just the OP at the start and then 3 small stories. It keeps my attention quite well. The squid also has a cute way of speaking de geso! Bye bye de geso!
- Comment on Are there any other anime with beautiful depictions of light and color like in Frieren: Beyond Journey's End? 5 weeks ago:
I don’t know if it’s like Frieren (haven’t seen it) but Aria has my favorite light and colour. Especially when golden hour hits… I also hear Frieren is supposedly a slow show. If you like slow, serene and emotional with scoops of aware no mono then Aria is peak. Here is a video with some moving shots without spoilers to gauge the vibe: www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQXviHhK44U

Yamazaki has good taste, Tama is clearly best girl. Also, she replacing actors in their jobs, yells an actor acting out a character. The fourth wall was never there to begin with.

They saved a grand 4300 yen in the end. Also the opening is starting to grow on me.
- Comment on Why Do So Many Twitter Nazis Love K-On!? | Moon Channel [36:42] 1 month ago:
The first part is quite good but where he starts making conclusions he lost me a bit. It doesn’t really explore well why K-ON! has attracted this crowd as opposed to other CGDCT anime.
The argument that the nazis like K-ON! in particular because of its never ending purity (permanently 12) does not make sense. He even describes The Tale of Genji as inducing mono no aware in the viewer, which the character in the story lacks. But K-ON! has very clear themes of mono no aware build in. And the characters do grow up and do realise the end of their ideal youth. This is even one of the must pungent parts of the anime. I mod !kon@lemmy.world and the banner depicts just after that very moment. The value of youth has significance in Japanese culture revered for its fleeting beauty often compared to things like the falling of the sakura leaves and the light of the glowing bug that lives only for one day. You could say that like Genji doesn’t want to see the moving of time in the girl he likes, the nazis try to ignore the mono no aware that is present in K-ON!. But if this is the argument it wasn’t clear to me that this in particular is the argument that is being made. Coming back to the forever 12 thing, there are shows where the characters are in a forever N years old time flow (like Yuru Yuri) so if this is the appeal you would think they would have chosen a show like that.
I also feel like there is a bias in the west against mostly positive shows, put down as empty or just escapism. K-ON! is being compared to siren. And that only dark depressive and gritty media is cool and relevant. If you present an anime that is more positive than real life it is “just escapism” and “unhealthy fantasy”, but if you present an anime more negative than real life all of the sudden “it shows the nature of humanity” or something like that. Dark media is often descriptive, holding a mirror up for us to see ourselves in. On the other hand, fluffy media like K-ON! can be prescriptive instead, inspiring us to work towards a better self and world by giving an example of how things could be. For example in K-ON! instead of practicing very hard they drink a lot of tea. In a world mega focused on achievement, many could benefit from “wasting” a bit of time by drinking tea. There is even a whole arc where Azunyan doesn’t get that but she learns through time. Personally I take some Zen/Daoist messages from such things in CGDCT. “tanoshii wa tanoshii da yo!” - Hirasawa Yui
Of course, !kon@lemmy.world does not have any nazi stuff so come have a look 🥰

I have watched ARIA The Origination Picture Drama, ARIA The Origination sono choppiri himitsu no basho ni and ARIA The Avvenire. Aria always delivers. I only have 2 films left. I think I will save them for a bit later. I don’t want to rush a series like ARIA, I want to luxuriate in it.
- Comment on [Episode] GINTAMA - Mr. Ginpachi's Zany Class • 3-nen Z-gumi Ginpachi-sensei - Episode 6 discussion 1 month ago:
They just put all the characters in one class. Otae is only 18 I believe so not that much older. Compared to dudes like Madao and Kondo. Also Zura is very close to Gin’s age (as seen in the flashbacks in the main series) so he is the same age as the teacher. And god knows how old Eli is! Don’t think to hard about it lol

- Comment on [Discussion] What is your most 'comfy' anime? 2 months ago:
Glad to hear! I thought it was quite well known but clearly I’m in a bit of bubble when it comes to anime.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is your most 'comfy' anime? 2 months ago:
I wouldn’t really call Gakuen Utopia Manabi Straight comfy compared to other CGDCT anime, but it is very underrated indeed. It has some strong moments when the iyashikei really hits like when Mikan and Mei are on the roof.
- Comment on [Discussion] What is your most 'comfy' anime? 2 months ago:
Almost all anime I really like are super stereotypical comfy anime, picking one is very difficult. The most underrated is Hidamari Sketch in my opinion. ARIA is also extremely strong. Non Non Biyori is a classic. For a lesson known one I put forward Tanaka wa Itsumo Kedaruge. Apart from that most good CGDCT anime have a strong Iyashikei component to them are very comfy. Classics are Lucky Star, K-ON!, Azumanga Daioh and Ichigo Mashimaro. For more modern takes on this type of anime the newer Kirara anime such as Kiniro Mozaiku, Gochuumon wa Usagi desuka and Yuyushiki are popular under “comfy bros”.

If only Kiniro Mozaiku had as many seasons as Jojos… I’m slightly biased since I mod !kinmoza@lemmy.world
