Spring 2025 Anime Season 名無し 04/16/2025 (Wed) 19:37:15 No. 1341 [Reply]
i missed making the last few threads for reasons. 4/a/ is dead and it seems like discussion is scattered. other altchans shittalk currently airing things too much for me to want to talk about them there, so i'm posting a thread here. what're you all watching? post about it here.

I usually never watch more than 3 airing shows at once and there's always some 4 cour baby anime thrown in the mix so it doesn't really count. This is new
>>
>>1341 i haven't really been watching much of anything honestly. kinda thinking of watching the dark elf anime, but are any of these actually good? which do you recommend the most out of them?
>>
I'm enjoying the Shaft ninja show a lot.
>>
>>1342 I'm enjoying the second season of Shoushimin. I miss the single episode mysteries of the first season, but I'm enjoying the build up of the larger mystery so far.

>>1406 Well, which one appeals to you the most? Any designs that stand out? Personality? Sex appeal? Cool factor? Stuff like that. Could also run through a sorter https://tohosort.frelia.my/

I love everything about Remilia so much. Except maybe her purple hair, I think Flandre's blonde would look better on her.
>>
>>1433 I think I've seen a theory before where Remilia is naturally blonde but her hair got dyed somehow. I thought there was a lot more art like that but for some reason this is the only one I can find.

Love Tomoko. >When she would pretend to be asleep at her desk since she had no friends to talk to >When she would eat alone in the toilets because she had no friends to eat with >When she would be alone through out most of summer break as she had no friends to hang out with Ahaha, yeah, I did that all the time when I was in school...

>>1386 A common problem with these types of series. Feels like the story goes in circles until I eventually drop due to boredom. I wonder why mangakas feel pressured to continue

i feel like other characters never quite encapsulate the loser girl lifestyle like tomoko does

When will she lose her virginity?

>>1378 tomoko my beloved watamote is one of those mangas that kinda changed my life, somehow i guess.

>>455 More times than I can count. I'm already an emotional person, and art, whether it conveys sadness or just beauty, moves me deeply.

>>455 >anime haibane renmei and now and then, here and there made me cry there's a bunch more manga since i read it a lot more than watching anime and i can't think of any off the top of my head

Hikarins do you know any manga that's super cute? I need a rainstorm of cuteness with nothing to distract me from it. Like that anthology comic

Last night I dreamt I got to play with Ren-chon all day I felt satisfied like I had never before Even though I woke up at like 8 I lay in bed until half 11 thinking about how happy I felt and how miserable the upcoming day was going to be even though it was all warm and sunny does anyone else here like Ren-chon?

you can only take a glimpse of god sometimes in this mire of pure evil, conserve the memory fondly and be ready to wait years until you can take a bit of happiness again

>>1423 i think the only people who say shit like this are those who didn't get attention from women growing up. you can have normal friendships and relationships with women and not worship them. it's a strange reflection of deal with it.
>>
>>1424 you can't. you'll always come and ruin everything because women live rent free in your head. having a woman excludes a possibility of being dedicated to anything else, so you're naturally incapable of sustaining any meaningful hobby. that's why there needs to be a clear separation between loners who care about what they do and sex havers who care about farming validation. i don't mean to disparage you or whatever, there wouldn't be any problems at all except that you ruined everything we ever valued

>>1425 >women live rent free in your head. having a woman excludes a possibility of being dedicated to anything else, so you're naturally incapable of sustaining any meaningful hobby. respectfully, i think you're projecting, hikarin.

>>1426 i speak facts you have nothing to prove them wrong, because it's pure facts

i humbly ask for someone to help me (as a newcomer too) to get into otaku culture. i want to step it up as i'm also trying to learn japanese now. what qualifies (or qualified) someone as an otaku? i've mostly been an outsider in the technology and vidya sense and that's what i usually stick to in the imageboards i've been, but i've never really got into watching a ton of anime or manga besides some old stuff like SEL and monster. (nice place btw)

You're actually interested in animanga, vidya games, vns, ect. You're not into them because you're an otaku, you're an otaku because you're into them. >>1408 I personally don't think you could call yourself an otaku if you've only watched one anime...
>>
>>1414 That's like your opinion dude
>>
>>1415 Woah man why are we like talking like stoners dude
>>
>>1416 >>1415 woah dudes lets like... all be chill and stuff okay....peace and love bros...
