Space Flower posted:not counting the last rando but im begging people who've decided to post in here more than once to actually engage with the the thread or watch an anime that aired after k-on instead of just making 10 posts about vtubers and 1 about 'tenacious d is anime' or whatever. otherwise why are you here i feel slightly seen here but the truth is while I like anime it's not an actual hobby for me the way gaming is so i don't care to talk about it unless I just finished watching or reading something. i have the josei thread bookmarked though.

Larry Parrish posted:The protagonist spends 200 chapters growing with the second love interest just to end up getting with the love interest from the first volume in the space of about 5 chapters. I didn't look it up but I'm convinced it was serialized and got suddenly canceled lol. The ending is a little rushed but it's fine, I guess, it's a happy ending for the characters but it's kind of like. Narratively whack, I guess. i love it when this happens, i feel like all the authors get together in one big room somewhere to make sure it does.

Looks like they broke the API fixing something else. In more anime-related content, I am watching Hakumei and Mikochi again, which is an okay animated adaptation of one of my favorite mangas. I think that came out after K-on.

Space Flower posted:the 'actual' part would place it well outside of anime jurisdiction as it was a complex set of ideas used by a philosopher 50 years ago to recontextualize much older philosophical works. it was never meant to be applied to madoka as a magical girl show or w/e. Oh no, not the concept in it's entirety. I mean more like, what does that even mean, why do people keep slapping it on Madoka and Gurren Lagann and Evangelion for some reason? Is it a Family Guy thing where they haven't seen the actual reference and they assume this created it in the first place? If that conversation is too boring to start, didn't Mierko Chan have a thread in here?

I watch something from my collection when I go for a run on my treadmill and right now I’m re-watching Crest/Banner of the Stars and man this stuff is so good. I love this kind of Sci-Fi where the characters are like “hey were in a spaceship and only got hit by a tiny bit of a space mine and now we’re all sorts of messed up” because it just adds that much more tension to the battles. I can’t wait for the paperback collections to get beyond the anime material.

If you're interested in something similar there's also "Starship Operators" especially if you happened to have liked The Expanse.

My workout anime of choice lately (when I'm not working out long enough to watch a whole dang movie) has been Kimagure Orange Road. Recently hit that 2nd opening and it's a banger. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W2OmXgEBT-w&t=102s

I make no pretence to understand the finer detail of deconstruction. Basically a lot of people use deconstruction to mean something is a dark edgy take on a genre when what it should be is more of an examination of why we assume certain things or try to find an objective truth or reading in a work.

I think to be fair, its being widely used as a catch all for any work that seems to be scrutinizing the commonly used tropes and setting conveniences of the genre it is a part of. This doesn't have to be particularly thorough or encompassing for it to be applicable. A particular work being a darker/grimmer example tends to overlap with being labelled/considered to be a deconstruction because often that's what happens when you take a fantastical setting and make it more "realistic", because such things would be horrifying if it was real. Kids being forced to fight giant robot battles to save humanity would be horrifying if it came to that; people having superpowers and society being forced to take a backseat would also be horrifying if it actually existed; aliens invading regularly would also be probably pretty horrifying if it happened; children given vast magical powers and responsibilities by a morally questionable source to fight literal demons would also be pretty horrifying if it happened in real life. That's why 'deconstruction' media works tends to find itself in the "dark and edgy" bin and why people sometimes are overeager to label a dark and edgy work as deconstruction. Additionally, words/meanings are malleable and subject to change; see there being a "conventional"/popular meaning of term, and its academic/philosophical/theological definition. So literature/media analysis/criticism can have their version of the term as it makes sense to contextualize and discuss modern works, and ivory tower nerds can have their version of the term.

Namtab posted:Thank you for the long post about things that aren’t deconstruction. Not sure what you mean. It's very clearly the context in which people use the term to discuss popular culture; hence it has a valid meaning in that context. e: https://www.britannica.com/topic/deconstruction quote:In popular usage the term has come to mean a critical dismantling of tradition and traditional modes of thought. Seems clear cut to me. Raenir Salazar fucked around with this message at 22:17 on Mar 8, 2022 |

I missed Sushi Chat but there is a fuckin rad sushi place where I live that I go to all the time, which is kinda weird cuz I live in buttfuck Texas but it is SO good. They make poo poo like deep-fried sushi burritos and sometimes they do sushi nachos and they're both awesome. Their menu is loving huge; I've eaten at least 20 different things off of it and I haven't had a bad thing yet. Also they have a drive-thru. I. M.
