LibrarianCroaker posted:I gotchuu Thank you so much kind goon. Rocko Bonaparte posted:I have kind of wanted to start a thread where we summarize animes and mangas based on a heavily distorted impression of what is really going on in them and have wanted to summarize this one as "A young man becomes the caretaker for a woman that moves to Tokyo who is blind because she cannot see anything through the hair that is always in front of her face." Is female knight the one with the buff knightess and priest guy who likes her? I love stories like that because they deconstruct the whole "Xena" thing where you have these badass female characters who actually DO want to be a bit more feminine, but have a hard time doing so(lack of maternal figure, being pushed into masculine profession, lacking stereotypical feminine build, etc).

chumbler posted:That's the one, but I don't think it's really going for some enlightening message, it's just there for blushing, pouting, and abs. And shark teeth, with one of the newer characters. I kind of doubt it myself, but it's definitely something I like seeing like in I-Revo and Saotome Senshu where the female lead is very stereotypically masculine and it's treated as a mixed bag rather than the usual "Real Women Don't Wear Dresses" crap we tend to see nowadays when someone wants to do a "Strong Female Character". It feels more realistic if any of this is making any sense.

ChairMaster posted:From what I vaguely remember of it the priest guy wasn't trying to get her to be more womanly and princess-like but I only read a few chapters of it a long time ago. Oh hell no. He likes her EXACTLY the way she is, but very much treats her like a lady rather than one of the guys which a lot of series tend to do hence the title. It's what throws her since she sees herself as "Useless as a woman" in that she's not stereotypicaly feminine and whatnot. One of the flashbacks has her as a kid training with her dad and he REALLY pushed to be a hardcore knightess so she has some issues with self perception as a woman in that the idea of someone liking her in spite of not being feminine in the slightest, but even BECAUSE of her non-feminine traits really boggles her. I've always seen the series a huge riff on the whole concept of "Xena" characters that tend to get really overdone in the medium especially when they're very sterotypically hot if that makes any sense. Edit: Yeah I know it's fluff that has issues and I know it's not going for some higher message(if it's going for message at all), but I like it for reasons I can't quite articulate. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 07:06 on Jan 5, 2019 |

Supersonic Shine posted:The writer is playing so fast and loose with history and mythology that it's near impossible to figure out who's fighting who, but I think Simo going up against Apollo could be cool. The Greek god of the sun vs. the White Death who shrouded himself in the snow. Apollo was God of the Arts, Archery, and Medicine. Helios was the Sun God. Granted Apollo was also considered the God of Light and sometimes the Sun as well.

Brought To You By posted:I question the wisdom of letting NGE be someone's first anime as I feel the series is decent but definitely over-rated and not for everyone. I absolutely endorse trolling someone snobby with it, and it's subsequent movies. Never watched it and never got into it aside from it having a rad intro and some incredibly cool designs for stuff. The more I read about it though, the more I feel that my choice was indeed the correct and logical path for this series.

Brought To You By posted:Don't get me wrong, I think it's definitely worth watching. I just don't think someone should dip their toes into anime with it since the writing is all over the place in terms of quality both because of the troubled production of the series, and the creative staff behind it most notably Hideaki Anno. It's also just a bizarre story that gets too up it's own rear end to the detriment of the dialogue and plot, at least from my perspective. I usually pick movies or OVAs to start someone new off since there's less time commitment. And there are just overall more consistent and approachable series to choose from even within super robot and mech series. Oh I 100% agree that it's definitely worth watching for those interested and had a MASSIVE impact, but it just seems like such an equally MASSIVE clusterfuck in a lot of ways.

Mirage posted:What better way to motivate young people than being the biggest bitch in the universe? There's like an AGGRESSIVE AND OPPRESSIVE HATRED to music from her beyond winning and status symbolism. Like, if it can't be used for winning, oppresing others, or as a status symbol it may as well be poo poo from an rear end to her. Like the idea of simply liking music for music itself is seen by her as a bigger sin than pissing on a cross would be by a Christian or Catholic. I can totally envision her being the type of manager or music trainer that would drive someone to suicide in different music Manga or even real life. That's the best way I can describe her. Like just pure uncut cruelty for cruelties sake.

Punkin Spunkin posted:I don't consider it a wholesale endorsement but the story as presented absolutely frames it as this dark mystic charm. It's all very romantic about its darkness in a very teen dude way. THE FEMALES OF THE SPECIES just throw themselves at him and he repeatedly destroys their lives. Ultimately, for something called No Longer Human he finds himself sort of blameless in the end, presenting the women in his life as some sort of plague. From what I can tell Ito's is a fairly faithful adaptation From what I've read, Ito's version HEAVILY cranks up the volume on the darkness as well as changing some stuff on who dies. The stuff I've read about it frames the book as having been about a person who lived a VERY sad and depressing dreary life

Lt. Lizard posted:Huh, from those two pictures, it kinda resembles Berserk. And that's pretty high praise. Thought the exact same thing at that exact page I posted. Follows a slight similarity of hardened badass getting younger girl sidekick that irritates him, but starts to soften him up as a person(no, there's no romance) and he becomes a surrogate uncle to her. He also starts to be mentored in magecraft by eternal youth Impa from Breath of the Wild. Edit: Only reason I've not started Demons Souls on PS5 is that I want to make this guy as my in-game character, but I suck at that(if any of you can help, that would be appreciated). doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 19:16 on Oct 15, 2021 |

HenryEx posted:Yeah i read that a while back and loved it. The potion granny gets to be badass, and i really liked the girl adventurer, she had just the right mix of "fake it till you make it" and enthusiasm. Agreed. Apparently people hated herald kept telling the author to get rid of her/kill her so Levan could go back to being a lone wolf badass. Same poo poo as Berserk basically hated Guts's new group and the effect t had on him mellowing out and being something other than a violent killing machine. There's speculation that it might have had an effect on it being canned(LN also got canned as well til a digital continuation).

The church wanted to collect her as a healer and Levan fought them off while potion lady put in a word to the church higher ups letting her go. Kind of...disappointing to her? I at least don't quite know how to feel about that, granted again I've not read that far in since I can't find decent translations.
