Phobophilia posted:Magatsu Wahrheit: Zuerst, a show with a nigh incomprehensible name, seems to be getting zero press or hype. It's based on a mobile game. It is very seineny and seems tailor made for netflix. "Evil Truth: Firstly" isn't even close to being the most incomprehensible name to come out of a place where games will have names like "Under Night: In-Birth."

I've watched the first two episodes of Sleepy Princess, and I think I'm sticking with it just to see how far they can stretch this dumb loving premise.

CrazySalamander posted:The title is something like good night demon girl so I think this is the central conceit of the series. lol. 魔王城でおやすみ translates to "Goodnight at the Demon Castle." Don't confuse 城 (jou) with 女 (jo).

Maxwell Adams posted:Is that meant to be a pun, then? Because I thought 'maoujou' was a term that meant something like 'magic princess' or 'demon princess'. So, you have 魔法 (mahou) in 魔法少女 (mahou shoujo) for magical girl; 魔王 (maou) for demon king; 王女 (oujo) for princess; 魔女 (majo) for witch; and 魔王城 (maou jou) for demon (king) castle. Mix and match.  Truga posted:eh, sometimes de can be used kinda like a "with". Yeah. The で particle only translates to "with" when denoting utility. (e.g.; Eating with chopsticks.) It never refers to doing something in concert with someone/something. It's not a pun.

I have a co-worker who refuses to watch Rick & Morty (while nominally loving odd adult swim style comedy) because Justin Roiland is a loving weirdo who made a skit about loving a baby.

So, I'm just getting whiplash from Majo no Tabitabi now. For this latest episode, I was half expecting Fran to give her a bouquet of flowers as she left only for the flowers to be her students or some hosed up poo poo. Instead, I get a rather mundane but overall entertaining student/teacher reunion.

Furnaceface posted:Cant wait to get my rear end handed to me by Matador all over again in the remaster. I have a sneaking suspicion they're going to ease off the ball-slap that is Matador. Ironically enough, after hearing so much crap about Matador, I felt like a badass taking him down first try. Then I hit Hell Biker and he stone-walled me forever until I found out you can just skip him until later.

FilthyImp posted:One of the things said about the old detective procedural Columbo is that it wasn't a WhoDunnit as much as a HowCatchem... because the real fun in the story was watching Columbo puzzle out how to prove his hunches and inferences. And ultimately it ends up being hubris that does most crooks in. Ok. If you're really comparing this to Columbo, I have to give it a chance. That's my favorite show from the '70s, and the only police procedural/mystery show I've ever enjoyed.

FilthyImp posted:Oh god I just watched the one where Adachi stays home from school and it's just the most awkward, sweet thing ever. Sexuality in Japan in considered a super personal thing to begin with. Public displays of affection are generally frowned upon regardless of orientation. The corporate world runs on a Don't-Ask-Don't-Tell policy. And while homosexuality is looked down upon by older, more conservative people, there is always the undercurrent of "duty" to a lot of sexual conduct. It is why cheating isn't really considered that big of a deal, so long as you complete your familial duties (e.g. Father providing for the family, mother caring for the family, young people getting married and popping off a couple kids). What you do in your free time is on you. (Also, they don't have that Christian influence on societal views of homosexuality poisoning the well like most western countries do. And as a side note, Samurai culture was deeply homoerotic almost to an ancient Greece level.) That said, like a lot of cultures that are becoming increasingly "Americanized," younger people are becoming more up front and open about their orientation if only to rebel at tradition. But it hasn't gained mainstream acceptance like it has in the US. But they've always been more tolerant of it than we have. Edit: Well that's an awkward loving snipe. >_> AlternateNu fucked around with this message at 19:56 on Nov 9, 2020 |

The Colonel posted:there is no one i trust more to help me understand the state of gay rights in japan than an internet poster on "the somtehing awful" web site I know, right? But really. Take everything I said above with a grain of salt. I'm not gay, and I haven't lived in Japan for almost a decade. But just from keeping up with my friends over there, what I read, and my few interactions when I go visit, that's my best take.

Nephthys posted:She is also still a teenager, so expecting her to start murdering people and become a fugitive for the rest of her life is a bit of an ask imo. It's kind of expected in a protagonist but I'm not going to get outraged over her not stepping in in the instances I've seen. I've only seen up to ep4, but the fact that they don't age her character model is a little offsetting. She qualifies as a temp at 14, trains for a year, and by the time ep4 rolls around, she hadn't seen her mentor in what...5-6 years? So, she's like 20 now but looks exactly the same. And in anime time, 20-year olds are practically oji/oba-sans.

Allarion posted:Like one of the stories that got cut just features this muscle troupe that Elaina keeps running into, which is basically a completely silly story. The anime still retains them in cameo form though if you've been paying attention. I was wondering what was up with the dudes in vests doing bicep curls in the background. They popped up back-to-back at the end of ep 6? and the beginning of ep 7? Something like that. It was just a weird thing to notice when all the other recurring characters have speaking parts. That said, if you want a show that is adapted pretty much perfectly, you should join us in the Sleepy Princess thread. Best show of the season!

Don't know what the line in the LN is, but the subtitle translation is correct based on what she says in the anime. Also, is it wrong that I'm enjoying it more, the more it becomes apparent the director/producers give no fucks since none of the source material seems to be saying anything particularly insightful to begin with?

Elephant Parade posted:how do you know that about the source material when all you've seen is the adaptation Because I'm an rear end in a top hat on the internet. Also, I'm just referring to the stories they've adapted so far. Stories they haven't adapted yet aren't yet "source material". So, I'm making my judgement based on what they've decided to show us, and IMO, none of these stories have particularly insightful things to say, even if they had been adapted better.

Half the reason I love the Fate franchise is just for seeing random showndowns between stylized depictions of historical and mythical figures. Ragrarok is going to scratch that itch nicely. (Hopefully.)

A couple days behind on the season finale of Elaina, but I see they decided to resurrect (and fail to answer one of) the age old questions of if you had a chance to sleep with yourself, would you? And would it be gay or masturbation? Also, some of the short cut animation looked janky as hell. The Elainas getting swung around by the vines and her hand in the opening shot were literally just stills being moved around the background.
