yeah I can do so, but it will take a while since currently i'm focused on other things

samurai champloo:

this is cowboy bebop but slightly worse

completely episodic anime, even more than cowboy bebop as new we don't get new main characters during the runtime of the anime or whatever. The episodes themselves are pretty simple, none of them are particullary mind-blowing or something I hadn't seen before.

The OST is worse than in cowboy bebop, I don't like that rap/beatbox style they went for on this anime. I also think the characters have less chemistry than on cowboy bebop

There is a filler chapter at chapter 12 so that is also kinda bad

This anime doesn't really try anything new, and it's just a worse version of another anime that already exists, don't get me wrong, I still enjoyed it, but I don't know, it definitively could have been better

when you watch movies for this thread, do you watch the spanish dub or do you watch in full english or do you watch english with spanish sub

Depends, I normally watch them on original language with english subtitles, mainly, because there are more things with subtitles in english than on spanish and I don't want to keep flipping between languages



Caroline:

it was good, i'm not the demographic tho

halloween movie about this kid that moves and discovers an alternate dimension. The art was good, nothing mindblowing. Like in most western animation, all of the characters are different shapes, this works to make the characters more easily recognisable. Their personalities are also greatly exaggerated, these aren't very well fleshed out characters that really feel humans and there is a lot of nuance to them, most characters just have one or two character trains associated with them, this works because the actual story isn't too complex, and none of the characters are actually hateable or anything like that

As i've said, the story is pretty simple, it honestly follows the formula of all of those stories about someone who walks into the mirror and discovers a different world, there really isn't much to say in terms of plot

This was a enjoyable watch, however, it's not the type of thing i'm personally really into. It isn't particullary ambitious or new, it's good if you just want to watch pretty colors and be entertained for a while, but for me, that's about it. The fact that I watched this only a few days after I watched All About Lily Chou-Chou (my new favourite movie), didn't help either lmao

I forgot I promised that


there isn't much to say so far in terms of actual plot so far. The actual unedited docs had pretty bad english from both of you, but that's why i'm here, your book seems a lot like a weird furry fanfiction and manishhh seems to go for a more comedy style, both of you write dialogues in this almost theatrical way which is strange to me

it's a start, for sure better than the ot!book IMO


--- the nightmare before christmas ---

turns out I had already seen this movie like it was originally intented, in high school, near the end of the school year, in english class when the teacher just wanted their vacations already so they put a movie and forget about teaching that day, and of course, I didn't pay attention as I was talking with my friends and crushing over girls, not only that, but the movie is like an hour and a half and you normally don't see more than 50 minutes of a movie during a class (because the actual class is an hour long total)

pleasantly surpised about the actual movie tho. I think that in terms of western animated movies this has to be one of the better ones, if not my favourite currently. It uses stop motion, but the fact that it's older than something like corpse bride gives it more charm, since it's even more apparent that it's stop motion. The movie is a musical and the OST is like actually really fucking good, features "this is halloween" like that song is already better than any other song from any animated western musical

the actual plot is very simple, nothing too special about it, it's just that the combination of the art and ost that just creates a really enjoyable movie

since you recommended so much at once i'm going to be slightly more picky than usual to not bloat the queue too much, sorry


I don't think I will be playing kingdom hearts, mainly because it's split in a lot of different consoles and emulating some of the recent ones may be a struggle (+ it's a really long franchise)

the world ends with you was already recommended by an IRL friend, so will play it

I'm fine with giving a second try to re:zero and watching mob psycho

I actually started Follow the Clouds North-NorthWest like a year ago, but didn't end up finishing it, so may give it a second show

will read Dragon and Chameleon


edit: also, since you seem to be new to the forum, let me informe you, I'm slow and the queue is long, so I may start watching/playing/reading your reqs in like a month or two

edit 2: also, do I know you? your name sounds familiar ngl

Hokuhokusei ni Kumo to Ike

I gave this a try a year ago, didn't get into it, but now, I actually did get into it

Don't let anyone fool you, I don't care what anyone says, this is a slice of life. The manga starts trying to do drama/mistery type of thing, but that really only gives motivation for the main character to just go out into iceland and showcase cool natural formations. I feel that this in part is needed, because unlike other SoL, the main character isn't a cute teenage japanese schoolgirl, but a pretty cool and chill adult guy, so there needs to be a hook to actually get people to read it

The art is really good, definitively above average, as I said earlier, it really focuses on the environment, they often use these aereal shots of the entire area, which are extremely pretty.

Outside the main character, there really aren't any "fixed" second characters, the one accompaning the main protagonist always changes with each volume

my only real complain is that there are some things that aren't quite expanded or explored as much as I would like, for example the fact that the main character talks to his car

good manga overall

no need to bump this thread, I always bump it myself with these types of post

----- monster (2023, not the anime from 2004, or the american movie from 2003) -----

This is a japanese movie by director hirokazu kore-eda, i've actually seen multiple films from this guy, i've seen nobody knows and shopliftes. This director seems to specialize in dramas involving families, however these are NOT family movies as some of these are emotionally painful (mainly nobody knows)

monster is a very unique film, it showcases a very difficult case of bullying from 3 different perspectives, in order, the mother perspective, the teacher perspective, and the child perspective. The timeline of the movie starts with a totally unrelated fire happening somewhere in town, you know you've went to the past and changed perspective by that fire appearing again. Neither the mother or teacher have an actual clear and accurate perspective of the situation, as they're competely filled with external bias, meaning that they see the exact same events in totally different ways.

the child's perspective is the most interesting tho, turns out, that the root problem of the issue was a conflict that involved him protecting another kid who was gay, adding another whole dimension to the already complicated problem. Japan is not really the most tolerant country for LGBT people, so if there is a case like this, it actually makes it very difficult for the kid to actually speak up about the actual situation out of fear or having consequences for taking that stance in support of LGBT people. After that, the teacher understood the situation in a very different way and the mother understood in a very different way, adding a layer of distortion each time, making things worse and worse.

It's also important to say that while the mother's and teachers perspective aren't pure or "true", I don't really think they were wrong, that distortion of the original problem has created another entirerily different issue, and that problem is as worthy of being solved and creating emotional distress as any other.

I really enjoyed this movie, had watched it in the past, It's my second favourite movie of last year (my top 1 is la sociedad de la nieve) and I find the fact that maestro was nominated in the oscars over this really fucking funny if not insulting, but as we know the oscars are very america-focused so it was to be expected

Ryuu to Chameleon

Ongoing manga, has potential but I think it will end up disapointing me on the end

the manga is about two people who swap bodies, one of them is a very popular mangaka who has created something as popular as dragon ball or naruto or whatever and someone who has 0 individuality but is really fucking good at copying other people. Now the one who is very good at copying is on the body of the successful mangaka and the succesful mangaka is forced to start over and try to publish something new

this concept is very interesting, you can explore a lot of stuff with this, mainly, how much does the fandom and the community aspect of a work affect the actual percieved quality of the end product. And with the other guy, how discrimation can happen torwards newer mangakas and how for someone as talented as them, they cant seem to get something serialized, much less actually recreate the success of the previous manga

The second half I spoke about, about how hard it is to become serialized is true, however, the manga seems to go in a direction that reminds me more of action shonen or sport manga than something like blank canvass which was more of what I was expecting. There are a lot of panels and scene that shows like a dragon forming when the guy picks up the pen to draw and everything is very over the top and whatever. This mainly applies for the person who copies (the chameleon in the title), as this character doesn't seem to exist to make a cool point or get in interesting moral or ethical situation, but more to act as an antagonist, which I guess it's fine, but honestly makes me less excited about the future of the manga

so far this is an enjoyable read tho, I recommend it

for a little bit of context, whenever I watch anything I usually go in blind, I don't read the synopsis, I don't watch trailers, I just take recommendations from people or see that it's in a genre I normally enjoy and watch it, but with this thread, I don't even do that, so yeah, went into this 100% blind

The first episode seem kinda interesting, I was like "oh shit this is kinda like violet evergarden" and then the next episode was like "oh this is a male oriented romance"

this anime just didn't hit, and honestly I think the fault resides in the actual cast of characters, the main protagonist is just your typical male fantasy romance protagonist, so, just doens't actually have a strong personality or whatever, and it works more as an outlet for you to insert yourself into the show. The female MC is the typical robot girl who isn't good at handling feelings. So yeah, not both of the main characters actually have any sort of real strong personality.

The actual circumstances are interesting tho, they're both of a pretty emotionally intense job, however, I feel this is barely explored, just mainly focusing on the actual day to day of both characters (since they live together). I feel that everything this anime tries there is an anime that does it better.

TBF i'm not the biggest fan of this type of male focused romance (surprisingly, most romance I consume is more female-oriented which is kinda weird since i'm a male myself but idk they just seem to be more interesting and emotional lmao) so my view is a little bit biased because of that

still, I didn't enjoy this anime very much

denied, I only do games with plot as I said now probably only short hames

There is a plot in Stardew Valley, though I haven't played enough to get a grasp of how good it is.

I'm not sure how short the game is, so I'll just request Postal-2 instead.

70-80 hours to get to year 3.

It's slow paced and half of the story is like developing relationships with the characters.

1- i'm saying that I may limit play time, so please read the thread

I actually have played omori, it's one of my favourite games, i've said it in the past, but I have some beef with how some people in the forum perceive omori, so I will also go into that, so please, read this post in full

omori is a psychological horror RPG, focusing more on the psychological aspect than the terror since the game isn't particularly scary. As always, I went blind into this game, even if during the first hour of gameplay or so since I hate horror and they had me to really convince me to play it

the game is made in rpg maker, and while it does have some combat and stuff, that's not at all the point of the game, the combat is nice but you're not playing omori because of the gameplay, you're playing it because of the story, (or in the case of some, the memes...)

the actual plot is pretty emotional, it's about the main protagonist coping with the mental weight of having accidently killed her sister, developing some sort of amnesia and split personality as a result, and the steps the protagonist takes in order to forgive themselves. This is not a comedy game or a chill game by any metric, it's fucking brutal

There are multiple areas in this game, (however I can't get into it without going into severe spoilers) each one having some sort of meaning, the two most important ones are headspace and real life, headspace is the world that sunny has created in his head, and the real life is self explanatory

headspace is supposed to be beautiful and comfy and happy, however, the actual feeling of guilt ends up overcoming sunny, having aspects of reality leak into the dream. The way this is most common is via basil, however there are some other more references. Sunny tries to delete and forget about basil, however, he just cants.

There is also white space, this area is the link between the real world and dreams. Whenever it is sunny in white space they have the option to go deep in their dream or to wake up. To go in the dream is as easy to just go in the door, to wake up, you must kill yourself, you can see this as an analogy of how living in the dream is easier than to even try to change things in real life

further in the game, whenever you actually are about to forgive yourself and erase headspace, white space reacts, by turning into black and then red space. Red space is notorious for having a scene where you kill basil over, and over, and over.

headspace and the real life share multiple characters, however, in headspace they're innocent children, however, in the real life they're older teenagers, each one of them coping with the death of mari (sunny's sister) in different ways

kel just tries to ignore it
aubrey turned to violence
hero tried to ignore the real world by studying and working
and basil is just straight up fucked

in terms of game design. The actual game just understand really well how each scene will affect the player, so it can create a really well done and polished emotional rollercoaster, basically breaking you by the end


---- this is the part I want lostsilver and beanicraft to read ----

SO we've clarified that omori is a fairly complex, very psychological, extremely emotional and pretty dark game. However, if you've been in OT, you may have not realized that since the acutal perception a part of the fanbase seems to have of the game is just totally different, and that just has to do with fandoms and how they can change the game experience for someone

i've called out this exact phenomenon before at least like 4 times, straight up naming people in some of them, however, you guys either have seem to not read it or don't understand it

a cult has formed around omori, the reason why I do not know, but they seem to treat omori as a comedy game. Kel isn't this portrait of someone who tries to put on a facade while he is actually heavily traumatized. But the funny hamburger guy, basil isn't this guy who is about to fucking explode, but this cute little guy who wouldn't hurt anyone

(This has to be the single most out of touch interpretation of omori i've seen in my entire life)





It seems like the entire perception of omori by some is just the funny memes. They once saw a funny meme about a character, and now they go into the game with that mentality that this is a funny meme game.

Not only that but the actual community is an echo chamber. Making memes out of the already existing memes, always striding further from the original product and interpretation of the game. The actual perception in the game in that part of the community and the actual games are two completely different beasts. The actual game has been buried under so much crap that it doesn't feel like it matters anymore

fandoms can affect the way you see a piece of media. For example I think shrek is a good example. Would people care as much about shrek if there weren't 400000 memes about it?, probably not, but now it is perceived as this titan of modern culture and animation.

if you go into a game with the mentality that you're going to hate it, the chances that you actually hate it are higher, this applies with any mentality you have, as you're trying to see things that don't exist. This is not wrong by itself, this is just called bias, it's a part of being a human

However, I feel it's important to recognise what biases you have, because when you have a totally distorted view of something and you post about it online, you're just missrepresenting the game. Which will end up keeping people that may actually enjoy the game away from the game just because of that



This often connects to a bigger problem, and that is people not really trying to go outside their bubble, often than not, people just find a single piece of media that they enjoy and they would rather just keep watching that over and over making memes of it than actually venture outside it, I talked about that in this thread

We both may have played omori, but we have not had the same experience. I interpret it as a really dark rpg, and you interpet is as a fandom. Which I will say again, is not bad, but at least be self-aware. Don't misrepresent the game.

I have more to say about fandoms, and for that read my review on undertale yellow, which I also talked about in this thread.


omori is an S rank for me, however, I cant say that I respect the way you guys portray omori. And while it's true that you've played the games, it doesn't even really fucking matter as your perception on it is totally different
