Are we back to heightchat? I'm 6'2, which has always felt like a great height. You're very tall w/out being "the tall guy"

I'm remembering now how confused I was that the show kept talking about how brawny Makoto was, but she has the exact same figure as the other girls.

the real hosed up thing is the character design sheets that point to usagi and say 'chubby'

like what world does takeuchi live in. some artists just give everyone the same build and that's fine, every artist does different things, but jesus, at least give it the old college try.

This woman (and presumably those other 3 adults) being led around by a trail of bananas really tickled me

The scenery art in Colours is really nice




The little thumbs-up :3: The whole scene in the bakery was good

episodes 3 and 4 of Colours were really enjoyable

Ah is that so, well it looks good and whatever touching up they're doing makes them fit the really bright and cheery vibe of the show despite being pretty urban a lot of the time

so studio 3hz is doing an adaptation of a sword art online spin off written by the kino's journey author next season so i guess i'm going to watch a sword art online spin off. feels weird.

It would take it out of guilty pleasure territory if the girls weren't so young. Still looking forward to it same as Fatal Bullet.

the main character of the spinoff novel is 19 years old and her two best friends are 19 and 27

i have no idea what that post means

i guess the main character's in-game avatar is short and young looking?



but there doesnt seem to be any fanservice about her in game avatar from what ive skimmed of it

Some of the manga has been translated and there's nothing weird in it so far. A 6' tall woman hates being tall, starts playing Gun Gale Online, gets the shortest, cutest avatar possible, maxes agility, wears all pink, and jumps around like crazy while shooting dudes with her pink P90.

There's some fanservice, in general, from what i read of the first novel, but it's all focused on the woman that's in her late 20s, so unless the shocking plot twist is that she's 12 in real life I'm not really sure what that post even means.

Yeah, SAO is a guilty pleasure, I may still enjoy the new one but the main characters look like little girls so I can't recommend it to people without feeling bad about it. I would feel bad for liking it, for the designs I've seen so far.

Uh. What? That's intensely weird, dude. It's one thing if the material is sexualizing them or something, but if it's just a few younger looking girls doing video game poo poo then... who cares if they look like younger girls? There's plenty of manga about younger boys doing action-y poo poo and nobody handwrings about liking my hero academia even though deku looks like he's eleven.

Because it's a spinoff of SAO, which is still a harem anime. If it's just actiony stuff and adults playing cute characters than it isn't an issue.

Eh, as long as there are no instances of gross fanservice (meaning tentacle rape, actual attempted rape and-- y'know what just gently caress off with the rapey-vibes, 'kay?), I'm fine with more dumb MMORPG shenanigans. Haven't read the Spin-off Novels, but hopefully they don't become as boring as Alicization in the main series.
