Manga thread
It's that time again. Share what you have been reading and if you like/liked it.
Subete ni Iya girl: It is kinda sweet. MC gets fascinated by a strange girl with an arrow trough her head. They become friends and the series follows standard SoL stuff. It is kind of obvious that the two main characters will end up together, and the series is seriously starting to feel padded after a while.
Jin: I really like this series. A surgeon from 2000 is sent back to the year 1862. He uses his medical knowledge to cure various diseases and preform surgery. It is interesting to see how he gets around limitations and preform operations.
Kurokami: I can't say I particularly liked what I've read of this series. MC forms a pact with a supernatural girl and gets thrown into a world of supernatural shenanigans. The main reason I started reading this was because I wanted to read a manga involving a "battle couple". A couple that loves each other and to fight, and that fights side by side when things get messy. Kurokami is not like that.
why should i watch gundam?
other shows i'm interested in are space runway ideon and patlabor, but i've never seen a single episode of any of them. the only reason why i am drawn to them is that they are considered classics.
i am not asking where i should start, but simply the reasons why you like them. sell me on the idea of watching them.
another question is, do any of these shows have an enjoyment curve? some shows are boring until a certain point, and it becomes more enjoyable after that point, so do any of these have that curve? if i watch the first 5 episodes of gundam seed for instance, and i don't like it, is it reasonable to assume that i wouldn't like the rest of it either?
idolm@ster thread
im@s goes here. Be it classic 765, Cinderella Girls, Million Live, or even Side-M if you're into that fags.
The new batch of Cinderella Girls singles comes out today, so I'll be dumping all of the ones released until now starting from Rin, the first CG to ever receive a voice. It was a simpler time, when the 765 anime had just ended, most CGs still hadn't been developed beyond their introductory lines, gaijin were still able to play the mobage without much difficulty, and the only reference to "New Generations" was Rin's SR+ card's subtitle.
It was a better time.
Why is the demographic of yuri genre so so overwhelmingly female, lads? Both the creators/artists and the audience. Even the lewdest ones like Saki where the girls don't even bother to cover their genitals were made by a female. Yaoi is probably too, it's normal that only gays and women like fags, but I can't understand this one.
And why do japanese males enjoy trap shota hentais and those disgusting rape hentais where lolis get fucked in the ass by big ugly dark skinned men more than pure yuri? Are they cucks?
This phenomenon is bizzare man, like what the hell is going on in japan? Or is it me who doesn't really understand how human sexual preferences work? I don't even watch animes and this is boggling my mind.

Lotte no Omocha
Did anybody else watch the adapation of Lotte no Omocha?
I've heard a lot of mixed feelings about the anime itself because it ended up not being something it tried to be.
But it was very cute and enjoyable the first few episodes. But jesus fucking christ what the fuck happened in that ending? It felt like an anime only ending. They make a big fucking deal about Lotte growing up and she is branded with all sorts of curses and shit and they spend lots of episodes binding it with drama, and then in the last 10 minutes of the fucking show they pull a 180 with "Lol it was just a bug bite" and "Lol the tree was hacked by the loli bunny girl".
The fuck?
Even Toriyama thinks Super is shit
We all know Super's quality is a fucking shitfest. Faggots like putting the blame on Toriyama rather than Toei, but now even Toriyama's bitched about it, in the 'Super History Book' to commemorate 30 years of Dragon Ball.
It's translated to something like this:
>"Dragon Ball once became a thing of the past to me, but after that, I got angry about the live action movie, re-wrote an entire movie script, and now I'm complaining about the quality of the new TV anime, so it seems that Dragon Ball has grown on me [so] much that I can't leave it alone."
Super confirmed on-par with Evolution for how shit it is.
What anime do you consider comforting?
Like a relaxing ambience, and characters that make you feel warm and fuzzy inside?
Like for example, in welcome to the nhk it had a relaxing musical score, and Misaki would repeatedly tell the main character everything would be alright. For me it was the comfyiestest
What was a comfy anime for you?
Plastic Memories recap thread
Every fucking day. Every single fucking day this little faggot just sits there and gives me this stupid look on her android face.
How would you have improved the story? When it was airing, there was lots of Anons that offered decent rewrite alternatives and exposed the enormous and hilarious plotholes.
Still, Aira was a pretty cute loli even though she eventually died. Who was your favorite character from this shit show?

Symphogear thread
General Symphogear thread.
The last BD is out and with it the last of the new songs.
4chans Symphogear general has created this mega to store all the season 3 related material, so take whatever you like.
https://mega.nz/#F!19FVyBzQ!eKkp4fzmcyybty7rY5r0mA!wptxxQzI
The OVAs are still untranslated and it will take forever before all of them get subs, like last time. I really like this last new song though.
Check out the Symphgear thread on /u/, it has a dump of webms with music as well as scenes from the show.
3D Waifu Game
tl;dr Galatea thread, vote for next feature to implement
Since last thread:
>new playable build
>IK solver
>day/night cycles
Currently I'm trying to decide if I should continue in the intended direction and focus next on stat-building gameplay, similar to Love Plus and Tokimeki Memorial.
This would mostly include things like attending classes, studying, exercise, managing stamina, attending club activities, ect., as well as traveling between the school and the MC's home.
The other option is to expand the visual novel interpreter with a new trick I've discovered, which should allow me to embed the native scripting language inside the VN scripts, much in the same way that Ren'Py does with the Python language. With this, I could then go off and build a showcase of some 3D visual novel scenes which would mainly require some new scripts and animation.
I consider both of them important and both of them will be implemented, but I'm undecided on which one I should focus on first, so I'd really like to get /a/'s opinion on what you would prefer to see next.
Also, again, any ideas, feedback, favorite animu you'd like me to rip off, etc., would be much appreciated.
Speed Racer
wasn't sure to put this on /tv/ or /a/ considering this is an adaptation of Speed Racer.
Watched the series as a kid. I watched this film. Wasn't sure what to make of it. But watching it now, since I got around to re-watching the originals, I gotta say.
Out of all the live action adaptation films, this is as close to the original series as it can get. Cheesy voice acting and motor mouth and everything. And I actually kinda like this movie.
What do you think /a/?

Fat Stupid Garbage - Japanophobia
Stream 3 runs anime mostly from the 1980s and 1990s from 7:00 AM to about 4:00 PM on weekdays and is set to a schedule.
Stream 1 has live action B-movies from the VHS era and other things of that sort in the evenings.
If you tune in, thank you very much.
Sister thread: Hoozuki-san Chi no Aneki
I'm having a blast with this older sister lewd teasing manga. It's in the 4 panel style, it's a lot of fun, and Aneki is disgustingly hot.
>Will Gorou ever give Aneki the dick?
>Will Gorou ever give Misaki the dick?

Tenchi Muyo
Who's best girl?
Ryoko's appearance was the best but Sasami seems to be the one with the most appeal overall.
What's the best Tenchi movie/series?
I just watched Forever and it is by far the best so far. The first few episodes of Ryo Ohki were great but that was only when Ryoko was actually good.
When/where did you watch Tenchi?
I just got it the other day and have been watching it for a while.
"Post a screen cap or two''
Look at this fucking face. It's the first fucking episode and she knows she's already won
>Follow Cool sama on twitter for updates on his work like oujojo, i cant understand what my husbands saying or the maid dragon of kobayashi san
>When not shitting out a new oppai loli/giantess oppai loli on shota doujin every week he puts out a new volume of a new manga every month
How the fuck does one man have such unrelenting zenkai powah?
Do oppai creatures grant this man power overwhelming?

>just finished this
I really found it a cut above average. Very enjoyable. Fairly clever jokes. Not a bad use of a few hours. Except for the last 5 minutes of episode 12.
What the fuck happened? Did the writer get hit on the head? I wonder if there was some meta-commentary that was being attempted, but that might be giving them too great a benefit of the doubt.
Fansubs
I'm fucking lost, I have no idea which group is doing what better than the other or if they're going to shit on the original lines or not.
And their description doesn't help either like damedesuyo pulling shit like pic related despite saying in their fucking "commandments"
>22.Translations will be done in a literal manner that neither loses or adds to the meaning of lines.
And they might or might have not added badly Photoshopped Easter eggs in a episode.
All I gathered so far is that commie is aids in .str, horrible-subs is bad but bearable if I have no choice, and damedesuyo is a bunch of lying cunts.
Do we have a chart or something ?
