Like a decade ago I binged the entire manga in a single day while unemployed. Definitely not the best state of mind for doing that haha. I should definitely hit up the novel one of these days. The manga had a pretty big effect on me back in the day and if it's a watered down version of the novel I think that even a decade later I could still get a lot out of the real deal.

i finally bothered to blow through Beastars my review: much more leftist than that cop apologia zootopia crap i'm a furry now edit: i thought it was well done actually, my read from a distance was that it'd be really corny crap -- but it was pretty thoughtful and thankfully the wolf and the rabbit do NOT gently caress a cyberpunk goose has issued a correction as of 20:35 on Apr 20, 2021 |

I read the first volume of Otaku Elf fully expecting it to be just a dumb gag manga, but it turned out to be really good. The characters and their relationships are very well fleshed out. I was really surprised by how the main gimmick is done. I was basically expecting what if Umaru was an elf, but it's not that at all. The elf is a constant in an ever-changing world, and the people love her for that and she loves seeing the city and the people grow and change. She's just extremely shy and hesitant about making connections with other people. There's also a lot of interesting history stuff, like the elf complaining about how they do Monjayaki wrong nowadays or talking about the 200 year old history of collectable promotional giveaways to explain why she likes happy meal toys. So yeah, surprisingly strong recommendation for Otaku Elf. It's a really nice story about a shy elf and the people who love her.

if you're a bootlicker and you're watching the castle of cagliostro, do you root for the cop because he's a cop or the count because birthright nobility is authority and conservatism encapsulated in a concept?

zenigata because he’s a Good Cop™ whereas the count is just kind of a prick. i think bootlickers need to make excuses for the guy wearing the boots

misadventurous posted:zenigata because he’s a Good Cop™ whereas the count is just kind of a prick. i think bootlickers need to make excuses for the guy wearing the boots Eh, Lupin generally only steals from rich and/or actively abusive jackasses, so I'd say Zenigata is still primarily an agent of capital and property protection, even if he's usually less-than-lethal about it. Any "good" arrests he makes are generally wrapped up in a bow for him from Lupin's gang to begin with.

I always feel bad for the hapless regular mobile suit pilots trying to fight a gundam. It would be better if the main characters weren't literally invincible from their weapons.

Zenigata's employment as a cop is just a pretense to take Lupin from his wierd-rear end polycule and start a monogamous relationship with him I mean yeah he's a stereotypical japanese workaholic who loves order but you can't tell me he'd prioritize his job over his one true love

The nationalist fervor of the fascists is no match for a gigantic industrial base capable of churning out over-designed super weapons. The overwhelming material advantages of the Federation is why Zeon resorted to planetary bombardment in Operation British and why they never stood a chance once The Federation got on its war footing.

It's like Animal Crossing as directed by the Cohen brothers. I think I go in for the theory so far that this isn't an animal world where they act like humans but how this guy sees the world. He's not actually a walrus but his self vision of it is maybe like a Japanese Wilford Brimley

It's legitimately one of my favorite anime and personally as a barely sociable freak with an over active imagination like that it was very relatable. I, too, want my wierd sucidial girlfriend to appear out of thin air. I wouldn't credit it with changing my life or anything but I did stop drinking and start forcing myself to hang out with people around the same time.

Starts out fairly standard "dipshit hates translations that aren't overly literal and stilted" and just descends into complete bigoted madness from there.

Yeah, I was just pointing out that gundams being OP is part of the plot, kinda. Also in wing it's less gundam and more that the main characters are immortal supermen, and even grunt suits become indestructible when piloted by them.

I know it's a Twitter meme for people to absolutely have a meltdown over anything resembling Among Us but lol all of this from a character saying 'sus', which has been slang way before Among Us.
