Why do you people like this shit so much. You do realize it's a show written by a depressed guy for 14 year old depressed kids to get their lives back on track, right? It's not even subtle. They could not be more blunt about the themes and yet all I here from the fanboys is how deep it is.
I would have to agree that Japanese cinema is actually pretty badly produced, for the most part anyway. There are really only a few decent movies coming out of it at best. But then you could say that about Western cinema too, except it's true that Western cinema really does look a hell of a lot better and not so cheap. Drama that comes out of Japan for instance, the concepts of these shows are extremely poor too, with some very minor exceptions.
Western characters are always perfect. Japanese characters have flaws, sometimes to the point that their character revolves around them.

I need to build up a list of men, from any manga/show/game, who are of above-average intelligence, have the ability to take control of a situation/person/business/ect, have been killed and NOT revived, who are essentially 'bad' guys in that they aren't afraid to get their hands dirty to achieve what they want/finish a job, but who are NOT back-stabbing douchebags. I want to say Light Yagami as a prime example, but he's a lying, backstabbing douchebag. This would seriously be appreciated. ..it would also help if personal information about said men was/were easily gathered, and there was a fairly large amount to work with.
>>16908 Crap, I forgot.
>>17005 He was a douchebag, though.
Askeladd?
Here are a few pages of Naruto's new, aptly named chapter 486 "Fists". Seriously, I don’t like the direction where this manga is going.
If only this was true.
>>17676 oh right. I didn't read the joke page. right.
The characters in this story are too childish to be gay. I feel like nothing in the story would change if they were actually 7.
About annoying little things that bother you in animu... Why do they always put out a cigar or a cigarette way before it's finished? I thought it would only be Oishi in Higurashi, but no, it's everywhere. Pic is from Yakitate!! Japan. As a smoker, it irritates me to no limit and is never explained. Any similar experiences?
>>9a560b >>b6c180 Seconded (though the dearth of sociopathic anime/manga isn't quite as bad as you say.) Also, shonen anime where the protagonist has to get beaten half to death before he can do anything useful.
>>17643 And on the shows that don't have a sponsor, they show a five second clip of an image with a bit of the OP anyway, as if they are bent over and poised, ready to insert that damn sponsor thing. One thing that really gets on my nerves though, is the truly pathetic state of the industry over in the UK. So much so, that our biggest distributor (Beez UK) is in actual fact pretty much a one man show. And then you get americans complaining about stupid shit like how there is no good anime on TV, or how it takes 'too long' for it to come out on DVD. For fucks sake, we only just started getting FMA paperbacks out here, and our DVD's come out on average a year after the US gets them. And anime on TV? Were lucky if we get Ghilbi on Film Four during christmas.
Sylver, i myself wonder who it is who gets the every-anime voice acting for the "brought to you by...", i wonder what it pays. Hmm...nice work if you can get it. Though the hilarious ones i find are on the "authentic Malaysian" dvds. The guy on that speaks english like he's on ClearChannel (that's the hueg radio conglomerate that is the plight of US Radio). >>17689 Please don't get the idea that anime is all over US tv as it really isnt. At all. perhaps some pop-culture series that are a bazillion eps long, and Sat Nite Adult Swim-that's pretty much it. And unless you've got some specialty store to go to, big-box stores anime selections are getting worse by the nanosecond. So, the over the counter dvd selection is lame. Answer-right where you are right now, the interwebs. If ya cant torrent (raises hand-reason? im too stoopid), you can usually direct dl, since streaming is usually pretty sukky (ahemcrunchyrollahem) . Unless youre on dialup, if you cant find it on the webs, you aint lookin. nahhh...i aint bitchin at ya, just another point'o'view, that's all. maho. rarely is a pic of mine related.
Is Pretty Cure (any of them) any good?
Absolutely flawless.
>>17180 ...How...What?
>>17180 This is what really happened.
>>17682 I wish my car looked like that.
I am fairly sure this manga isn't well known. Which isn't surprising, unlike pretty much everything in it. It looks like a regular shonen, and as the basic structure of it. But for a thing with such a silly title, it's surprisingly serious and dark. Events are not all that much predictable, and it's pretty weird overall. It also has a nice "independently-made" feel to it. The synopsis seems classical enough : 12 guys and a girl are given powers to struggle against a magician and his golems. But it quickly turns out the two heroes want to save the earth in the sole purpose of destroying it themselves afterwards. Give it a shot here : http://www.onemanga.com/The_Lucifer_and_Biscuit_Hammer/
>>17663 With the numerous references to smashing earth "like a cheap pastry", I'd assume it's a hammer one would use to smash a biscuit. I'd like to know if it's biscuit like biscuit, or biscuit like cookie.
That last chapter was pretty awesome.
>>17675 I would think that a biscuit hammer is more used in the dough molding process, and the implication of using it to smash the end product is just a product of the author's twisted thought processes.
so /a/ i get bored go to the other shitty /a/ and see this who was fucking retarded enough to tag Baccano! with sci-fi let alone SPACE
>>17609 And? 3fb95d defended the 32fa1b's position but stated something comepletely different.
>>17610 ok fine. Rephrase: >The extent to which an anime CAN BE CONSIDERED DEEP BY AN AUDIENCE\VIEWER can be subjective to a degree if the producers don't concretely explain it to the audience. Jesus, it was the exact same point widened to audience level as oppose to individual watcher
>>17609
Can /a/ recommend any other anime like Dokuro chan?
Jungle wa itsumo hale nochi guu. I think its made by the same peopel as Dokuro but its funny as fuck
Dokuro-chan is the least original anime and probably one of the worst ever conceived. I love it.
>>17648 >Rosario to Vampire Now you're just being cruel.
