I know about the seal and stuff being a Japan nerd but is it a requirement a lot of the time or can you just sign stuff if, for instance, you forget it? I get keeping with tradition but I think I'd just forget to bring it unless I had my man bag with me and end up signing stuff anyway.

I'm having a hard time picturing what this lump thing on his head is supposed to be. Is it a patch of no hair? A protrusion?

How long was he in jail for? I forget. I'm confused about what year it's supposed to be, since when it started it seemed like present day and now he seems old and haggard and it's still the present day. Was it just five years but he's got that thing where he comes out of serving time looking all grey even tho it was brief?

I actually don't think it's that bad, the art is MSpaint-y but much better than most webcomics and the story is weirdly compelling in the sense of presenting a bastard who you really hate but end up kinda feeling sorry for

the art reminds me of ONE (the mob psycho 100 and original One Punch Man comics person) in that superficially the style seems amateurish but the composition is actually very well done and it lends a kind of flavor to the story that more competent art would not

So NEET is like 40 and it's probably around 2018 in the comic I think?

Also like ONE's work a lot of people are gonna look at the superficial elements and be immediately turned off. Obviously not the freaks who are following this though, such as myself

You need it for like official documents and poo poo, but I just sign for packages and things usually.

Incidentally, Korea still uses the stamps too. So it's not just a Japan traditional thing.

He's not actually, and the hand thing stood out to me too because hand are hard as hell to draw and many artists will avoid doing that. Yeah, this. Like, kinda... Have you ever heard the band Pavement? A lot of their stuff sounds ugly on purpose. That's why I'm kinda into it. What I'm saying is ugly stuff is cool.

Aristobulus posted:man, the comic is kinda just sad now. not really funny or ridiculous anymore. agreed (about this arc, at least). honestly, the discussion/jokes in this thread have considerably elevated my enjoyment of the comic, and im super glad im doing it this way well, also it's funny that the comic became such a downer as punishment to you for expecting the crime route to be fun and games edit: i will absolutely advocate for making something intentionally unenjoyable, as a "gently caress you" to fans. see: homestuck epilogues, or to a certain extent the evangelion rebuild movies edit edit: the entire movie Funny Games is an extended "gently caress you for enjoying this type of movie, you loving losers". i love that sort of aggressive, anti-audience crap Mr. Steak fucked around with this message at 09:37 on Oct 19, 2019 |

Oh man, Funny Games was legitimately painful to watch. I wouldn't classify NEET's criminal arc as anti-audience, though. It's a sad story about a dumb loser, but there's some very clear positive character development. At least it seems that way so far. Maybe Tohru ends up starving to death in a gutter while clutching a small photo of his parents.

Funny Games is great to watch but I always hate myself afterwards for watching either version. Is it anti-audience or.just bizarre and dark though? Hadnt thought of it being so.

A_Account posted:Do they do this in both versions? Haven't watched either in many years. Not sure about the original, only watched the Naomi Watts version. After doing something particularly heinous, one of the antagonists turns to camera and says something like "are you pleased with this? Have you had enough yet?" Also I think the director himself stated this as the intention of the movies.

I love me some gen x miserable navelgazing (I mean, goon), I'm lapping it up. It reminds me of Ghost World, or Adrian Tomine's stuff. But with more Gay Baby Jail.
