Hey kids! Do you want to be as AKOOL as me?
Woolie's excitement during his Doom streams is infectious. Somehow I didn't expect him to end up liking it this much.

The 2011 anime is good. The manga is fine but is never going to end.

It's probably the best anime I've seen. Woolie would absolutely love it if he had picked it up at his own pace, but the constant badgering and the way he's chosen to watch the earlier, weakest arcs like one episode at a time pretty much guarantees he'll never "get" it. Which really bums me out because I can imagine the conversations that would be had later in the series if he were invested but now he never will.

I think Woolie was never gonna like it because Woolie doesn't like things he's set on not liking (gently caress, Pat is better at the whole changing his mind thing), but HxH is probably the best shonen around. Gon in 60 Seconds is basically just playing poo poo up to hilarious effect.

I would consider HxH the best shounen of the Heisei Era, above Dragonball, Naruto, One Piece and the rest.
Reiwa era shounen? Demon Slayer so far.

I like Demon Slayer but it will be overthrown as soon as HxH has its first chapter in the reiwa era

Demon Slayer is good but it's marred by the fact the manga is rushing towards an ending like 2-3 arcs early.

Hopefully that goes better than Spec Ops, his shooting abilities are pretty bad and some parts of Doom can be challenging.

lmfao when woolie took the camera and zoomed in on reggie, and reggie was covering his face going "I'm blinking to signal I need help!" and then said "someone call the swat team!" but IMMEDIATELY realized what he said, his eyes went wide, and he was like NO NO NO NO NO

:allears:

I really love the reggie/woolie combo. I also really love that woolie is really loving DOOM. I figured he'd never play it due to his motion sickness from FPSes.

Yeah Minh and especially Reggie have grown on me. And I'm real glad least one of the zaibatsu is still doing multiplayer/multiple commentary stuff. I like Pat and Matt's solo stuff but it really feels lesser without someone else there.

Also Minh is such a loving poo poo talker when he's in the lead. It's great.

its prob the best shonen anime but even watching the best arc one ep at a time is also bad because its like 2/3 of the total show and the pacing is weird as gently caress.

i dropped off the chimera ants during both the manga (which took almost a decade to finish) and the show's original airing (almost 2 years of episodes) but on watching it at my own pace, a few eps a week, it quickly became my favorite arc in any shonen show ever.

that said, gon in 60 seconds is a fun thing for laughs.

Same. Didn't think I was gonna like them, but here we are.

Listening to Minh being okay with losing as long as Woolie loses is the best thing.

I got so angry at the plot of Rent that I wished ill will upon the author, who must've been a massive rear end in a top hat. Except he's dead.

Demon Slayer is that author's first serialized work. It's ending early because nobody in the publishing industry believed it could be anything more than yet another generic shounen, until it suddenly became shockingly popular. As in Demon Slayer manga sales in 2019 increased by 10-fold compared to all previous years combined. In six months, it went from average shounen sales numbers to rivaling One Piece sales numbers. Sadly, it was too late for them to backtrack the decision to end the manga early.

it makes me wonder if they'll pad out the anime or just adapt the whole story as is

I've heard it's surprisingly good, despite the anime version adding WAYYYYY more porn to it. I guess it's surprisingly open minded about trans stuff and sexuality in general? Haven't followed it myself.

The characters look WAY too young for me to not side eye anyone watching it though. Like no matter how funny it is considering how explucit I've heard it gets that's a big loving yikes.

Edit: cynic in me says Pat's throwing a bone to all the paedophiles he pissed off a few weeks back.

from what I've heard of the controversy, the manga is far more clinical and less raunchy about the actual sex activities, but since anime has a specific runtime, they needed...something to fill that time. so they just straight up put porn in there to fill the gap, and funimation didn't even realize what they were licensing with that. :v:

super sucks for the entire translation and VA team hired to do it, though. whoops, 3 episodes in and you're out of a job, surprise!

According to someone in discord the manga is mostly them talking poo poo and getting into arguments in a pub and doesn't show anything explicit? Then the anime is like 60% softcore porn with :aatrek: poo poo. Which I dunno sounds like a really bad adaptation to me!
