I used to like Re:Zero but the more I continue reading the more I realize the author makes up shit as he goes, he didn’t plan ahead or anything, and still the beginning was the best part of the story. I don’t think it will ever have a satisfying conclusion, so it’s pointless to keep up.

>chapter 18
is the idea of a necromancer race that has birth tubes that constantly spawn larvae, really good? It's certainly strange and not to my liking, but I miss this kind of asian autism they longer do anymore. So I will see where it's going.

>>943 (OP) 
First ever would be Naruto on tv or maybe something no one would consider an anime like the 80s transformer cartoon that was animated in Japan by Toei. First 'proper' non-normalfag anime that turned me into a weaboo/otaku would be Nichijou.
>>943 (OP) 
Yu-Gi-Oh, my brain couldn't understand what the fuck was going on which the only other anime on tv at the time was Digimon Beyblade and Pokemon I knew of. 
>English dub cringe which turned me off
I didn't really know what anime was at the time and didn't really actively consider watching  until over 15 years later because of personal experience with video games.

Must've been Moomin or Pokemon.

>Ulysses 31
>Jayce and the Wheeled Warriors
Well, that or Naruto. No real way for me to recall.

Why are Japanese female writers so into making Chinese themed works? is it just another case of women loving foreigners? or some autistic Japanese tradition?

Yes, this only happened recently because they got desperate and there’s an overseas market for anime now. Regarding Solo Leveling japs boycotted the anime and the blu ray sold like shit.

Do you have sources for that? Because I've been searching around and google is being useless fucking cancer.

Most I can find is that Solo Leveling had some serious nationalism and anti-Japan themes and a controversy emerged from how the anime tried to soften it. Is that what you're talking about?

>Solo Leveling had some serious nationalism and anti-Japan themes and a controversy emerged from how the anime tried to soften it
There was an arc where the japanese hunters backstabbed the gooks and left them to the monsters, japs got mad over it saying it portrayed them as untrustworthy and is basically ani-japan sentiment.
They got mad because solo leveling was adapted in the first place.

Oh, so it was about that arc. I guess Germans are way better at putting up with that kinda shit than Japanese. Meanwhile the Chinese are the first ones when it comes to portraying their own country's leadership as filled with scheming vipers. Well, I imagine for many Japanese Solo Leveling was in the category of "fun to watch but awkward to own." Feels like they bungled a Korean Blu-Ray release though, or perhaps these numbers are more regional than you'd think.

I tried to reread Jojolion to understand what Araki left behind when he finished it, but I was baffled by just more contradictions.

If you were to run down a top ten of what makes a harem anime a harem anime and what are the biggest, most recognizable cliches, what would they be?

Does anyone still remember or like this genre in this age?

>Not if there is no multiple girl ending or something that involve romantic relationship with multiple girls at once during the common route
That kinda made me think about something. What if there was an anti harem essentially a pathetic loser trying to win over multiple girls and just gets denied until he stops giving a fuck and it becomes a harem again.
I don't remember any anime doing anything similar.

Part of me wonders if the reason it fell off wasn't also because they lost some of their charm with the transition to computer graphics and animes like that need charm to function. Imagining Tenchi Muyo rendered with modern computer methods makes me think the viewership would've been distinctly lower and the series less well-liked.
>>776
The "tsundere love interest who beats the shit out of the MC at the slightest misunderstanding" trope popularized by Love Hina is definitely a defining cliche too

What? I mean, Dio could probably end part 3 in his favor since Jotaro would never figure out that The Star could stop time, unless The Star also mirrors Killer Queen in that scenario, in which case how can anybody know? Part 4 is a similar situation. Are you presupposing that Jotaro realized his stand can utilize timestop? Another problem is that Killer Queen was the first big evolutionary stand. It's hard to compare back to the previous part when that wasn't a concept yet. Perhaps you could better explain what you mean?
I got burnt out of reading Jojo during the shitty zombie arc in Jojolion. But I can't imagine the story getting any gayer than it was in Vento Aureo without having actual on-screen buttsex,
Even with the Netflix budget bullshit, the Stone Ocean adaption made me appreciate the original story way more. It really examined the themes and characters of it's universe, and the fights stretched the concept of stand battles to it's absolute limit.
>>432
Dio is probably fucked. KQ is optimized for stealth kills and stealth kills only. Forgetting that Dio is, well, Dio, he can't really hide like Kira did because of Hermit Purple. Really, it's a question of whether he can get everyone in one room to fire off SHA. I don't think the Stardust crew has a direct counter to it.
Kira probably wouldn't even be in the position he's in during the start of DIU because he probably would have been busted a long time ago. Za Warudo would have been way harder to clean up bodies with. Maybe he could do Diavolo style cleanups once or twice, but he's just not going to be able to get rid of the bodies as easily as he did with KQ. If things go the way they did in the manga and everyone makes it to a fight, it'll probably be like Dio vs. Jotaro again, but Kira might have a little better chance of surviving because he doesn't have a bum leg to kick Jotaro with.
Stone Ocean doesn't happen at all because the Za Warudo holder doesn't care about the Hea

What did I say wrong? it's objectively what the scene alluded too, Rudeus was a fucking Hikikomori. I'm talking from a pure plot viewpoint, but it's you who're the cuckchanners and associate any kind of modernity criticism with /r9k/ and other social media bullshit. Get out of your bubble, same issues are in Japan and every part of the world.

Yes it is an isekai. Mushoku Tensei is on the upper tier of isekai even if I think the anime itself just drag on and on. At least there is a time progression which include people getting old, people getting pregnant and having kids.

There are better way to start a Mushoku Tensei thread, feel like a shitty fourchan bait thread especially with the 2nd question.
To answer the first half, Rudeus is reincarnated he can't go back he's fucking DEAD in his original world. You would know this if you weren't braindead AND retarded at the same time.

>To answer the first half, Rudeus is reincarnated he can't go back he's fucking DEAD in his original world
That’s irrelevant and a pathetic attempt to refute, since the show showed you the contrast between his old and new life, and how he’s enjoying his time to the fullest now. Even if he wasn’t dead he would’ve never wanted to go back and you know it.
What I said doesn’t apply to any isekai, for example in Re;Zero, we’ve been shown that Subaru loved his parents and misses them, he just died by accident. So obviously not all isekai are about blackpilling, and  my thread wasn’t some 4cuck template.

Speaking of Dragon Ball, does anyone know what's this mysterious "Starter Book" thing that came with a torrent for the RAWs? I'm guessing it's like a super condensed version of the story to fit into two volumes but I'm not sure.

Very good and feel very chinese/wuxia instead of a typical anime
You get people killing themselves to spite others, you get people who are so insane even evil magical beings get afraid of them
I had a blast rewatching the first two seasons a month ago, watching the 3rd season with a friend and somehow it make the show better because we can just laugh at the insanity together. Don't think it's a comedy but it's a fun genre.

>Even though the shots change too quickly it makes you go dizzy.
They're trying to do typical shonenshit action sequences in a literal Taiwanese puppet show filmed in real time. They can't do motion blur or smear frames to convey how fuck-you fast the action is supposed to be, so they try to cover it with fast motion and it only sort of works.
