>>1207 thats the most wonderful thing. thank you friend for giving this show a chance. kuroma is my favorite too. his actor poured his soul into him. >>1204 m-maybe... >>1203 the fact alone that some hikarins are aware of the show makes me happy

>>1207 oh that sounds pretty interesting :D

>>1207 >I see. so it's basically like Gushing Over Magical Girls but without any of the original appeal

>>1216 acro trip was created before gushing. and its just a comedy for all ages

have you seen boogiepop phantom, and what do you think of it? Also, what are your thoughts on denpa anime in general.
>>
The original one was great vibes and quit eerie and mysterious. When they brought it back reboot an adaptation it lacked that great atmosphere and art style unfortunately even though it has more of actually properly telling the story.

I would personally recommend to watch Your lie in April. It's a great anime in my opinion, even got me emotional sometimes

Have you watched Ergo Proxy? What do you think?

>>737 one of my old favorites.. I love pino. \ >>739 there was pretty constant action. maybe you would like psychopass. completely different anime. but more action and faster pace, story isn't a mess. I forget what ergo was going for and what the creator said about it. I think it was an eva situation where there wasn't really a point to any of it and the symbolism was just cool. at the same time I'm not sure about that because ergo's symbolism I remember making sense to me when you look up all the names of the deities being referenced. I'd put it somewhere between a 7-8/10. I also recall that the ending got botched or somewhere in between was. I could be remembering a different anime from back then though.
>>
I remember it being praised a lot a decade ago by my old otaku friends, but when I tried to watch it, I struggled to finish the first episode out of sheer boredom and never looked back. By no means do I find dialogue heavy anime to be boring (big fan of the monogatari series), but this one was worse than frieren.
>>
Yes I have. It wasn't bad, but I didn't understand half of it and the ending wasn't very consistent with what happened before and failed to create enough tension to be satisfactory. It's a very atmospheric show, though, there are very few that could match it, so it is understandable it gets recommended.
>>
>>1149 Follow up to this post, all my memories about Ergo Proxy are positive. There were some very queer (in the good sense) moments to it that I liked very much. It is really very unique.
>>
>>742 >I think it was an eva situation where there wasn't really a point to any of it and the symbolism was just cool I remember reading an explanation after I finished watching it and it had a solid story with everything making sense and actually being straightforward if told chronologically. It was just told in a very complicated manner, explaining things in a roundabout way or not at all. Do you remember that episode (or was it 2 episodes?) somewhere in the middle of the series that felt like filler and seemed like it had no connection to the original timeline or even the whole plot itself, a game show or something like that. Yeah, there they explained some of the most crucial parts of the story. That's just an example. This is different from something like eva, where firstly the story itself is complicated, the characters' emotions have heavy impact on the plot, almost nothing is explicitly stated and only like 80% of the actual story is present in the anime. The rest you could only speculate, or some of it was revealed through other means (nge2, interviews). Ergo proxy just told a relatively straightforward story in a complicated manner, adding psychological elements and symbolism along the way. Not saying that's bad.

2hu visual novel 名無し 12/02/2024 (Mon) 01:30:47 No. 1189 [Reply]
Hey hikari3. /jp/ is trying to make a touhou visual novel, but they're having issues with coordination. Someone floated the idea of using an altchan, so I'm here to see if anyone supports this idea. Here's the original thread: https://boards.4chan.org/jp/thread/48279006

>>1189 Post about it politely on smuglo.li /a/'s writing thread, some really good writefags there I will sit this one out personally tbqdesu

Wow 4channers are at it again. I won't be surprised if it ends up being some political sjw whatever this time. It ain't 2007 anymore
>>
That anon demoralized them , I guess it is destined to fail because 2hu is 2 mainstream for anybody autistic to care enough to bear the responsibility

>>1091 For you

>>1144 No, Hina Ichigo is universally the best doll. She's a cute, pure and innocent source of endless entertainment and perfectly unmarred platonic love. There is no other doll that can offer that. Shinku is imperative and full of herself, Desu ultimately equals to endless trouble, Souseiseki is just boring, Kana Ria didn't need to exist at all, Suigintou has too many mental issues, and the rest are whatever. No doll compares to Higa Ichigo. She's the ultimate masterpiece of Rozen, one and only perfect doll.
