📌 𝐇𝐚𝐩𝐩𝐲 𝐍𝐞𝐰 𝐘𝐞𝐚𝐫!
Starting 2024 off with my current all-time favorites list that just keeps getting bigger & bigger!
(This image is not organized whatsoever)
Seeing people call Shoko a flat character in this thread is low-key insane
They even made a special cut of the movie called "Inner Silence" that reflects her isolation as a person and takes you on a ride, showing you the extent of her loneliness in sensory deprivation

"Monogatari" "Off Season & "Monster Season" ANIME ANNOUNCEMENT TEASER!
Air Date: 2024
Animation Studio: SHAFT
Monster Season: New Arc with Araragi as a College Student
Off Season: Interspersed stories focused on different characters

It's complicated.
It goes down shortly because they see "less lines of credit"
Then once the credit company reports that you paid off all the debt, it shoots higher than before
It's not very intuitive at first glance though and pretty flawed in the short term
Apothecary Diaries and Frieren airing together for 2 seasons is genuinely legendary. We usually get one show of this caliber per season but we got 2 for multiple cours 😮💨
"Joker didn't have a character arc. He just did what everyone else would do."
[Persona 5 Royal SPOILERS]
He was a bold and outspoken person. He tried to save a woman and got in trouble with the police. Got labeled a delinquent. Got excluded from his old friends. Had to move to-
speaking, I feel like most people don't even bother to try and understand Shoko as a character
But there's a lot of visual storytelling involved with her, so what, they're going to speak the silent part out loud? 💀
Wouldn't that miss the entire point of their miscommunication?
Girls Band Cry
Ep7
THEY PLAYED "Nameless Name"!!!!!
For context, this is the first song they ever released as a band on YouTube so this is super freaking hype.

S3: 10/10
Overall: 9.5/10
I cried for like half an hour straight
This was absolutely their best performance. This episode was the the conclusion I needed
I knew I'd love S3, but being honest I never expected it to be my current AOTY pick
Incredible.
Hibike Euphonium S3
Ep12
This was the best episode of Eupho.
My heart was (and still is) racing and my chest was super tight.
Everyone's personal arcs came to a phenomenal close.
Absolutely beautiful, painful, bittersweet episode.

The more I read OP's thread and the comments of passerby folk, the more I realize that media literacy and understanding creator's intent is a learned skill and not something innately given at birth.

Their relationship barely holding itself together other than the strong desire to not let go. While they're apart, they'll strive to keep each other in their hearts.
Mizore was the perfect person to get through to Kumiko, as this strongly parallels Liz.

It's not really about winning. If he gets 5% of the votes, their party for the 2028 election gets funding borderline the size of Democrat and Republican funding. Which means they will actually be able to compete in more than a 2 party system in the future
Hot take, but most people have not watched the 150–250 Anime released every year but pretend to do so and make big comments like this based on the medium that they have very few stakes in
And I know this because I've seen 180+ newly released anime this year. (193 anime total)
hot take, but most anime is genuinely dogshit
there will be anywhere from 150-250 released every year, and you’ll have maybe 3 or 4 good ones on average

I'm gonna be honest...
I've stopped paying attention 😭
A comedy anime with no plot and jokes that don't move me at all just ain't doing it
Honestly it's really sad seeing a bunch of Girls Band Cry pages and fan accounts drop off the face of the map and even deactivate (more often than not because of anti-gay reasons)
But if you're into the series and even their album music, you're welcome here 🫡
Cillian Murphy says the sex scenes were vital in ‘OPPENHEIMER’.
“I think if they’re key to the story then they’re worthwhile. No one likes doing them, they’re the most awkward possible part of our job. But sometimes you have to get on with it.”

I'm not saying that their comment was racist whatsoever lol
They're ignorant to anyone who doesn't look like them since they've been living behind a wall =p
But people claim a lot about the series being racist against minorities such as Eldians, yet the overall message in AoT-

It feels like it's been here along an entire chapter of my life.
What a beautiful game.
The combat loop can be a bit tiresome at times, but the story, its presentation, and the way it mixed gameplay/music for storytelling was paramount.
If you're curious about the inner silence OST cut, there's probably a not-so-legal source out there
Another option is to play this OST timed correctly alongside the movie on Mute:
Anime are gonna have to start saying "I love you in a romantic & completely gay way, including me wanting to marry you for reasons of mutual homosexual romance." when it's not a heterosexual couple
I don't hear people consistently cope this hard over hetero "confession validity"
"She said "daisuki" so she didn't mean it in a romantic way." By this same logic in Tamako Love Story Tamako did not mean it in a romantic way when she confessed her feelings to Mochizuki since she said "daisuki" too.

While the spotlight seemingly rests on Shoya as he's the protagonist, this is only what we see at face value.
What different conclusions would you make by tackling the movie from Shouko's perspective? How would you?

Irony being that someone within AI development created this tool specifically to counter the system.
Progress requires kickback. A real AI protocol that can't surpass something like this wasn't really worth anything to begin with
Their taste is incredible.
I literally can't believe it.
One of the worst mean scores I've ever seen 😭
To put it into context, a mean score of 3 would mean that he rates most Anime a 3 and below 💀
Just drop the medium at that point 🗿 you are SUFFERING
Are there any series that made you ugly cry?
Not just "cry/tears."
Scrunchy/contorted face & all.
Coughing/choking up.
Heart/chest is tight.
"UGLY" cry
Only naming my 100% ugly cries:
–Clannad/TA
–Muv-Luv
–Violet Evergarden
–86
–Anohana
–Code Geass
–Me Who Loved You/ You I Loved

You're right! It shouldn't!
But I'd rather share "what you can do to survive" than let people spin around and get controlled/screwed over by buying into more debt after just paying some off in order to "raise their credit" tbh
Do what u can
Don't let what u can't do control you

I am beyond excited.
It looks fantastic and it sounds fantastic.
A not-so-surprise hit first episode of the season.
[Persona 5 Royal SPOILERS]
-a new home all by himself, lonely, and forced to live with someone who hated him.
He started wearing fake glasses so that he wouldn't stand out. He became socially quiet and awkward, which the player had to rebuild his confidence and social stats.-

A work of art.
In a way it reminds me that the dialog in the film is almost a distraction, a misdirection from the detailed visual storytelling.

The term "I'm in shambles" has been overkilled. But if we take it back to the original core definition, I'm lying down unable to move right now.
Thought I'd use this to tell everyone a little bit more about Spice and Wolf
It's what people used to call the "Economics" Anime a few years back. That if you wanted to understand how market cycles work in Econ, Spice and Wolf would teach you lol.
(With a bit of romance ofc)
i’m now figuring out that spice and wolf is an insanely popular show given it’s everywhere on my feed. going into the series blind, what can i expect from it ? fans of the series let me know!
