Gakkou Gurashi is now on it's second last chapter.

I think everyone is dead.

Also Idk if anyone's been reading it but happy sugar life is over, too. It followed the same path as the anime.

I'm not sure what I think of that series. It's interesting, at least.

The bechdel test is not an objective truth and things that fail it are not automatically sexist. That was never the intent of it. The intent was to jokingly show that, in the grand scheme of things, there aren't a lot of movies that just have women talking. The intent was never to apply it to every single individual thing and deem it a success or failure based on just that. It's especially worthless in the context of anime, where unlike western film you actually do get a lot of stuff with female leads or majority female casts.

It's not a failing of promare at all, nor is it even worth pointing out.

its a gag in dykes to watch out for about how going to the theater as a lesbian kind of sucks

Panty & Stocking OST is still hella good, even if most of the vocals are autotuned to hell and back. My personal favorites are Fly Away, Technodildo, and Scanty/Knee Socks' Theme.

How’s mturk going for you? I signed up a few months ago but I haven’t done any work yet. I’m hoping I could make enough money to work from home once I stop procrastinating.

So like, with the advantage of scripts and the experience required to pick out the good jobs from bad, I can generally pull in about 6$ an hour. It's really unsteady and gets worse every year, but it's possible to make some money. Scripts are absolutely necessary because of how quickly the jobs get taken, I use Mturk Suite because it has a dark mode and a good scraper (automated job grabber).



Don't accept jobs that pay for less than ten cents a minute, that's the agreed upon baseline that most people follow to avoid the inevitably lowering pay. Personally I just do surveys and stuff. Oh yeah, and I'd also recommend setting your Include List to have only HITs you're qualified for, and set the minimum pay to whatever you like. Personally I have it set to 50 cents as my minimum, and that seems to work to get rid of the obvious scams.

I heard as much about the pay. It sounds like it’s something that I can do in addition to my current job. I’ll try it out with that script, thanks.

So when reading scanlated stuff is it normal for there to be a few chapters way later on translated after the mass of contiguous chapters? I’ve been enjoying Iruma kun and so started the manga and finished the sequential chapters available. I have to say though that I am stumped as to whether should wait for the like 50 chapter gap to fill in or not. What are people’s thoughts on this?

no that's weird and the only times I've seen this are if someone is trolling or if they're missing a huge chunk of the raws but have the latest one for some reason.

I wouldn't skip a huge gap like that and try to keep reading, seems like it would be hard to follow if you've skipped over that much content.

having looked at in on mangadex, it's one of SSSSS's victims. they seem to translate based on a whim and basically tell people to gently caress off for complaining that they're skipping chapter order because nobody is forcing them to read it, it's a free tl etc etc. you should be able to block their releases from appearing on the group page. i would assume the regular tls that are going in order will cover those chapters when they get to them.

it's literally one dude's gimmick to scanlate stuff 50 chapters ahead. he does it to stir up poo poo and often goes for manga with active groups handling them. the quality of his scans and TLs wouldn't even be bad if not for his randomly inserting memes or edgy out-of-character language when he thinks he isn't pissing people off enough.

so no, not really normal and iruma-kun has an active scan group working on the normal progression of chapters.

when you think about it, its probably less effort for the amount of validation and attention you get from thosuands of people, than if you were just normally scanlating a single manga.

it was "it's my style": the cartoon. pacing all over the place, editing combined with the busy cinematography gave the eye nowhere to rest or focus, a confusing amount of hot topic looking characters jockeying for attention, unnecessary musical numbers, and "edgy" humor that just consists of everyone shouting bitch and gently caress a lot

also the mc's girlfriend was named vaggie

hey look,
a post
hazbin hotel looks like cartoon porn and sometimes its hard to make out what is going on in a few shots since the characters blend into the backgrounds. but also its really well animated, has some good character designs, a few mildly funny jokes, and is pretty decent for a pilot and actually has something resembling a personality. there has been more misanthropic stuff on adult swim that has way worse women and lgbt characters.

The 7th Guest
Dec 17, 2003

the animation was often pretty good, yeah

e: the reason adult swim was like that was because of the person running it. dunno if things will get better or worse for them with lazzo gone but hbo max might make them irrelevant

i don't care about the reason why adult swim was like that i just don't understand why people are taking such a stand against this when there has been worse

An uncountable number, to be sure.

What's the pirate guy in the top middle from? I see it watermarked multiple times on every single of the manga I translate for manga+, presumably to discourage me from spreading it unofficially. I always assumed it was just a cute "do not pirate" icon someone on that end had come up with, but is it actually a thing from somewhere?

The 7th Guest

finally it's my turn to play dumb, because i didn't know that. i only watched it because it showed up in my youtube suggestions and i had seen trailers for it before

i don't watch adult swim either, i haven't since the era when they were showing witch hunter robin, which i should probably rewatch. i guess that was, gently caress 15 years ago. time to age into sand

e: i think the last time i actually tuned into adult swim on tv was to see the first episode of superjail and then i learned the studio was sourcing most of their work to unpaid interns so i did not watch the other episodes. the last anime i watched on there was paranoia agent

e:e: oh dag nabbit there's an adult animation thread in tv iv now, now i understand. last time i looked in there there was just a kids cartoon thread which was mostly people posting about the french CG ladybug superhero show. is this what it's like to be out of the loop???
