By that logic Steins;Gate 0 and Cutie Honey Universe also deserve sirens, regardless of their quality or popularity this season due soley to their approximation to popular things in the past. If it ends up being good and people hop onto it, it'll get its due.

Joe is a level beyond that you dink, people went to his funeral lol.

I forgot what Megalobox was, and yeah that trailer is cool. idc about boxing tho but i'll watch the first episode

I just want the drat soundtrack at this point cause its all so good and is pulling from like 3 different genres and their various subgenres. It's got jazz and classic 90s rap and different kinda of electronic including some retrowave inspiration. It's cool.

The Simpsons artists were similarly horny for Marge and were constantly trying to get her to wear less and less, with executive pishback.

Sharkopath

Eventually the executive side had to relent and let them go crazy for the eye on Springfield segments.

Sharkopath
May 27, 2009

Somebody please link an eye on Springfield opening for illustrative purposes.

It's a complex thing because artists are by nature thirsty af. Figure drawing is a skill mostly honed by drawing lots and lots of nude people and the thirst transcends gender and sexuality, men and women artists partake equally even if you may only notice one or the other. Not to treat artists like a protected class or different from non drawing folk but it's my near universal experience that this is true. Its filtered through a world dominated by a patriarchal lens and there's a huge variety of social stances you can take on whether sexuality is good or bad or maybe only certain kinds of it are good or should it be regulated or if not censored tamed at least, but I think you're always gonna see it because like I said, artists thirsty af.

Personally I wanna see more harmless or healthy sexuality and relationships in everything because love and lust is a huge part of the human condition and we should probably be sharing realistic and good relationships with kids more than we are showing them violence. Love good.

imo the whole thirst/'horny on main' culture kinda bugs me because its basically the end product of a generation of kids being raised on the internet with porn all around them developing a weird self-consciousness about sex. like goddamn its okay to just wanna gently caress something you dont gotta be ironically detached and attack anyone who isnt ironically detached enough about it

I like thirst as a turn of phrase because its cleaner to say than I wanna gently caress this and sometimes horny is too funny a word.

I feel people are using thirst in full sincerity more nowadays than as ironic humor.

1s 2s 3s 4s is the rate of animation, how many frames of the film (usually 24 a second) you are drawing a new animation frame for. 1s is 24 animation frames and 2s is 12 frames for a second of footage. Normally people animate on the 3s and 4s because doing 24 frames of animation for a full length production is nightmarish, but the neat thing about cg is the computer can do the in between frame work for you after you give it the keyframes you want. The only thing that costs is rendering time, not manpower. Anime cg though tends to stick to cg animating on the 3s and 4s because either the cg is part of a composite shot with normal 2d animation so they want to keep the same framer as te between the two elements, or they just want it to look more like regular 2d animation which is not super bueno, kinda removed the benefit of using cg in the first place.

The new Ge, Ge, GeGeGe no Ge is super good and I think I set my expectations too low, really colorful, unsettling horror, well directed action and great sound effect work. I like the female lead a bunch and laughed a couple times during it. I especially liked that the whole mess was started by a youtube jerkface and Kitaros dad being amazed by smartphone technology.

I like Mad Max but that movie's pretty boring, and I like Super Mario Bros. but that movie is pretty garbage. I would have used anime examples but I couldn't really think of any.

Instead of using bad shorthand crit you can be elaborate and more descriptive without much effort. Mad Max is super cool but has a long slow pace and lots of lingering shots. Super Mario is really goofy and poorly acted but has imaginative environments and set design and is fun to watch.

I wanted to watch MHA again before the new stuff and it made me realize... maybe MHA isn't that good? Like it is fun enough to be a watchable weekly shounen theng but gosh nothing happens ever forever and there's like one good action thing per half a dozen episodes.

Vigilantes is better but neither are my favorite shonen.

No but you need to know a lot about conterstrike and siege. Don't worry I have a quiz that will help.
