isn't there an orange ribbon character on that poster already
Proponents of the theory count her as the yellow rep.
Anyways, Oshi no Ko released the cover artwork for Vol. 7:
This fucking Chainsaw Man cover:
Steam
In specific, Toei decided to report every single video on that channel while negotiations were ongoing, which is very much against YouTube's Terms of Service. And YouTube has long been critiziced for letting reports be weaponized against creators, so is not even about the channel itself, is about making sure that everybody else knows where the line is.
I don't think anyone watched this at all, but it's a pretty solid monster of the week tokustasu show about half the time, before the plot kicks in. I mentioned it in here before, but there's also one episode with absolutely no fighting or plot, where the main character just hangs out with his brother while they talk and play video games. I thought it worked really well, it's a nice change like halfway through. Also, the OP is pretty great.
I didn't like the ED as much, but it's sung by Sheryl Nome from Macross if that's interesting to anyone.
Charming show, had something to say while also being a relaxing and low stakes (but still sometimes emotional) slice of life.
Unfortunately, I wouldn't celebrate all the much really. Another Anime Youtuber who mainly focused on Pokemon channel for his comedic takes on Pokemon TV/Movies is basically having his channel shut down due to multiple Copyright strikes by ShoPro the company behind the animated Pokemon productions, using a really nasty legal maneuver. .
The long and the short of it is as follows:
- Company files a claim in a Japan Small Claims court claiming roughly 80,000 yen in damages based on 0.2 yen per view that this user has accumulated via their site
- Company then struck multiple videos and attached said small claim to the strikes in the info and sent it to youtube. Claim is not translated from Japanese, leaving the Youttuber to figure out what the claim is even saying
- Because an actual Court has gotten involved Youtube has completely backed off the claim and basically are requiring the youtuber to resolve the court claim before they'll reverse the strikes, but if he doesn't resolve the strikes, and because he's received at least 3 strikes, once the timer on the claim runs out, his YT channel will be deleted regardless if he fights it or not
- The wording of the claim basically Amounts to a SLAPP suit with vague allegations of damage and misuse of videos and basically demanding he pay the money, but in order to contest this claim, he has to contest it in a Japan court which would require a local Japan-based lawyer who can speak english and is well versed in Japan-based IP law, which is basically out of the realm of possibility for this guy.
- So essentially if a Japanese based company decides that they don't like a creator who has videos that can be seen in Japan, they can file a claim that's too big too ignore, but small enough that it doesn't cost them much to file in small claims court, then attach said claim to multiple copyright strikes, causing Youtube to completely abandon any creator protections through its fair use system, and all the 3 strikes to go through, thus terminating the channel.
It's a really insidious legal manuever and sadly completely allowable under the letter of the law. And I wouldn't be surprised to see Toei try this shit with a smaller youtuber or even go after TotallyNotMark as well.
Wud yoo laek to lern aboot meatz? Look here!
One real big issue for 'harem comedies' is when potential romantic partners get added way later in the story as compared to some of the others, so you absolutely know in no uncertain terms that said romantic pairing doesn't have a shot.
How I Met Your Mother
Well, generally the first one introduced (or the one on the first volume cover) is going to be endgame regardless, so even if you're introduced in Chapter 1 it will still be known you're the loser if another was introduced first or gets the volume cover.
Which sucks when fans really like one of the other girls over the main girl (ie. A Couple of Cuckoos).
Girlfriend, Girlfriend is a little different because Naoya has been openly dating two girls from the start, and the question has always been would he add more or stay at just two? So far we're nearly 90 chapters in and he has...
Quints and Bokuben also ended up being exceptions to the norm.
Yeah Bokuben went full ham didn't they and made endings for each of the girls right?

Ranking of Kings 16, uh...
An entire episode about how siding with fascist racists and literal child torture/murder is sometimes okay if it keeps them happy is... a choice.
Today I got caught up (watching episodes 9 & 10). This was my first experience with the show and I can see why folks like it! It's anime Sky High!
I enjoyed basically everything except for Grape Boy.
GRAPE BOY IS THE WORRRRRRRRST!

Semi-sealed copy of The Animatrix. Probably my favorite Matrix thing. I rewatched the DVD endlessly as a teen. I don't think there's a single one that I don't enjoy on some level. I've gushed about it before in other threads so I'll keep it short but man, the sheer talent involved in this project makes it my favorite supplementary material to a franchise I've ever encountered
Is this meant to be in 480p, or is it just Netflix being dodgy?

It should be available in HD but there is some intentional digital noise on it - it's most noticeable in the first couple of episodes.

Nah I've tried it on 3 different devices now and it's definitely streaming in 480 here for some reason, it's not just the noise
super weird

I'm told.
In Minecraft.
It's weird because the movie comes after Season 1, but then they also broke the movie up into episodes
So after S1 you want Mugen Train, either in movie or episode form, then after that it's S2 Entertainment District Arc

I own it on Blu-Ray, it's been on sale for >$20 for the whole thing once or twice which is a steal for such a good show.

I own that very same VHS, signed by Serena's VA no less.
Symphogear blew up the schedule and the entire second half of Season 1 of that was marathoned instead of anything else.
SYNCHROGAZER!
We'll have to see how we all feel once we get through the initial allotment of Sailor Moon episodes and start in on Thunderbolt Fantasy, the schedule will probably get changed again then.
It's got kind of a Sam's Club brand Cowboy Bebop feel though I'm only about 3 episodes in.
I think that's one of the reasons why I liked JJK so much. They're just a bunch of dipshit teens in modern day Japan, who like Jennifer Lawerence and probably Apple products and also have to fight demons sometimes.
Also I just like the honest little snippets of contemporary Japanese society without all the Edo samurai-yokai trappings we get so often. Fuckin I'll tell you the best goddamn anime for that. Aggretsuko.
I fuckin love it.
4 episodes in and we've already got
