Let it go to court

Can't wait for some middle-aged lawyer to bring up the guy who got his pelvis shattered.

Now we'll finally have proof whether or not that incident was real.

I've been to a few shrines and this is barely an exaggeration for some of them.

I finished reading Hinamatsuri. It was so good :'(
Finishing (good) manga always makes me a bit sad

Oh, did that wrap up? I'd put it on hold a few years ago.

Time to pick it up again.

Text alone is often a poor conduit for intention when engaging in impulse-driven, rapid-fire conversation; doubly so when the local posting culture involves people expressing themselves through several layers of ironic detachment. At some point someone's going to misconstrue something, even if everyone in the moment is just trying to be sincere. This is a problem with Internet communication at large, though also Something Awful in particular.

Take it from me, a guy who only recently learned a poster I thought hated me for years actually didn't. Not that it kept me up nights or anything, but if you'd asked me to put money on it, I'd have lost ten dollars.

Pokemon was probably my first anime but I didn't really see it that way at the time. Pokemon was Pokemon, the hit show based off the best-selling game I was playing. What's anime? I guess there's also this Digimon thing but that just looks like a rip-off of Pokemon so I'll just watch Pokemon (I was not especially media literate at this time). There was also My Neighbor Totoro, which was obviously Japanese, but I didn't see that as the tip of anything larger. It was just that movie from Japan I liked.

I eventually became aware of anime as a specific category of media thanks to Toonami, though most of the shows they advertised either didn't appeal or were scheduled for an inconvenient time slot. The anime block was after school, but my parents had a strict "Homework first" policy, so by the time I was finished the block was over.

FullMetal Alchemist (not Brotherhood) was the first show I was actually able to sit down and watch. I thought it was pretty cool. Then I picked up the manga and thought it was even better, and here we are.

in more recent news I�ve reached the point in Demon Slayer where an eclectic group of twelve elite warriors is dropped onto the screen and I don�t think I can go through this again

I haven't kept up with Demon Slayer at all but were they good guys or bad guys.

In my experience it works for the bad guys but not so much for the good guys.

*A bunch of evil weirdos show up.*

Oh man, I can't wait to see the protagonist and their best buds go up against these guys, who have just enough personality and visual flair to accent the handful of battles they'll be involved in before dying.

*A bunch of helpful weirdos show up.*

Oh geez, I can't believe the protagonist and their best buds' character development is going to be sidelined so these jokers can maybe contribute but probably not.

he just wants to design people which is why its baffling he's not a big name character designer already

When I saw he got a gig doing character designs for Sakura Wars I thought "Good, that's perfect, just keep doing this." Dude can't write or draw interesting backgrounds, but he can absolutely draw good-looking anime people.

Pretty sure Samurai Deeper Kyo is still the series that gets the most councils deep. Every single bad guy in that story secretly answered to another group of badder, even more secretive guys.

If I remember this video right he makes mostly good points other than the usual "24 fps is the ideal framerate for anything that isn't a game" take that everyone in the industry repeats.
They're wrong. It'd be sick to have 40fps anime battle sequences, just literally financially impossible and technically extremely challenging (animators have been doing 24fps or less keyed animation for the last 600 years, they'd have to relearn it)
To me it kinda feels like the cgi anime discussion. Most of it does suck, but then you have orange perfectly blending it with traditional animation in hnk and it owns. Likewise the awesome sakuga scenes we all love are "higher framerate" than normal anime scenes. It's plenty good enough but maybe it'd be awesome to have even more frames? Just not feasible
That said all these horrible interpolated anime videos are disgusting and until we have extremely advanced ai that strushg/straight up draws more frames as a real human would it'll never work

Animation at a higher frame rate looks good when it was tailored for it, but people who speed up the frame rate (like that FMA clip) and claim it looks better or "Smoother" are idiots.

The FMA clip is specifically taking the piss, what they did was run it through an interpolation and then remove all of the original frames, leaving only the mushy interpolated frames.

Oh, okay.
