One of the things I find myself really concerned with (and I don't have an outlet for my hyperfixation often) is really beautiful anime scenery.
I really like environments and structures; I hope you'll share some settings and places you like with me. I'm probably going to turn my phone upside-down and shake until my folder feels lighter.

Now if you're reading When They Cry with the Alchemist graphics, you will never in a quadrillion years experience the sound novel. You'll think you experienced it, but you'll be cheated. It's such a sadness, that you think you've read When They Cry on your fucking PlayStation. Get real.
the sound novel

yea that's what ryukishi07 calls them, I feel like Lynch would probably go along with that
yea, over in japan 'visual novel' is actually just a specific trademark iirc, so its not the actual most common means to refer to these games
i love saying Novel-style Adventure Game becuase it's a mouthfull, but also adds the helpful clarity that i'm not talking about a leaf or type/moon product :3

I used to want to make them but actually, until I saw this, I totally forgot. However, whenever I think of AMV one I saw a long time ago is stuck in my head. I'm not sure if he's still around in any capacity but a guy named William Milberry had a fan studio called "Aluminum Studios" and made one for SE:Lain set to Natalie Imbruglia's "Torn".

There a banger one cut out of a bunch of edgy anime that's kinda scuffed and for a song of an artist small and in person skewed enough that naming them would be doxxing myself

I fucking love lain at the gay bar, all time great for sure.
I finished the Umineko visual novel recently and have been enjoying digging through the annals of AMV's for the (Not Very Good) anime series, I've found some real gold (ha) in there.

I'm not immune to silly fruit/flower mix in teas whatsoever I just think they are a vibe (and I also have a sweet tooth)
I've been known to drink butterfly pea flower for the vibes of mysterious blue liquid alone. hibiscus is tasty though over here it's more of an agua fresca not so much 'tea'.
I've also been known to appreciate a simply pretty good green tea of some variety, if I am to buy One thing of tea it'd just be a nice quality green

i'm mostly making this thread to extol the work of Takahiro Kato, specifically his 2008 album Loveplex. it's an electronic/chiptune album that has quite a few tracks that are just very interesting. there's a good amount of vocal sampling which sounds really pleasant to me against the square waves, some ambient elements, some beats which sound like metroid, some which sound like kirby, it's a good time. very inspirational to me in the degree of range on display, particularly when it comes to the arrangements..
it can be found here: https://label.16dimensional.com/16d010/. i would also recommend checking out some of the other albums published under 16dimensional records... there's some cool and cute stuff.
are there any obscure peaks you'd like to extol, anon?
i listened to this and i liked it quite a bit. thank you for sharing it. i really enjoyed all the different noises, there was a variety of noises i havent heard in chiptune before. it felt like the noises were playing in front of me and i got to watch them having fun
Do you watch VTubers? If so, who’s your favorite and why?
I love both the act of playing pretend and anime girls, but I just don't think mainstream VTubers are for me. However, I’d love to become familiar with who you all watch and I'm open to changing my mind!

angelguts eliminator, she is a forgetful hallucinator-type oracle and vtuber experiment
Eimi Isami of Phase Connect Generation 4: Euphoria
I really like her backstory of being a test subject hamster who became human and is still experimented on. Kind of plays on the relationship between performer and audience.
I largely agree with Mofu. As an artist, a lot of Vtuber designs fall into the same visual aesthetic that I can't really identify beyond "VR Chat Moe"
That and most companies have an explicit directive to only appeal to male fans, hence some of the rules surrounding co-ed collabs and making jokes about yuri.
>>3msjom64xts2x
"Everyone is a Vtuber" is such a succinct description of the current era. I'd love to see streams that verge on performance art like radio plays, book readings, interactive stories, etc. Just anything other than Zatsudans and Let's Plays
focus on interactive stories and lores and roleplaying...
if only natori sana didnt become addicted to blue archive
and also merry milk from dotlive, i was told she was really good and into interactive storytelling, even with her graduation stream but i wasn't there very much (i just heard it from others, but watching the archive, it is very good and creative for a graduation stream go check it out)

I spend a lot of time combing Anime for really cool outfits, armor pieces, and so on.
Alongside scenery, which I've also made a little thread for, it's kind of my favorite thing. Before I learned to draw, all I could do was kind of collect work that appealed to me, and I think that weird habit has stuck with me today. here are a handful of pieces from my 'Outfits and Armors' folder - I hope you'll share yours with me, too!

... I like her cut because I think she looks like Tofu.
Supremely regal little gunner-dragon outfit.
there's an ONA called magical play which the character design was done by Kiyohiko Azuma and its pretty fine. I love how the main 3 girls outfits look especially the bunny (pippin)
I've always liked the somewhat unflattering shako-style cap in this one.
my critical character flaw is I like fantasy art but also want it to be actual fantasy [or sci fantasy idm the exact aesthetics]
by which i mean, non-isekai non-irony-poisoned shows that are not so fundamentally insecure about their premise as to be unwatchable
vaguely preferred if late 80s-00s maybe early 10s because i think the five trillion episodes simply serves the premise of a fantasy adventure the best and also helps the writers not take every episode Deathly Seriously all the time but if a newer show is good then its good yknow
but please intended for teens and above age rating wise squeaky clean kids shows that cant show violence make me really depressed

i do not normally fuck with the video game ones[it can feel really flattening to the setting to me] but maybe i should check out more .hack stuff since that one was so much more willing to Actually Commit to the video game scifi bit
and funnily enough both adaptations of lodoss war are on my actual literal 'doing homework for projects' list, but id be curious to know which one people like better!
Shorter series but I recently watched Outlaw Star and Kino's Journey (2003 TV show)
Outlaw Star is in the sci fantasy category but features magic, mysticism and unique species. In terms of tone and narrative, close to Cowboy Bebop except there's less meandering and leans into its humor heavily. A pulp series with desirable aesthetics. Bounty hunter Gene Starwind overcomes his fear of space and forms a crew to make it big.
Kino's Journey is on the lower end of sci fantasy but features robots, automation and spirits. Heavily introspective and understated, as Kino wanders through various countries only for the sake of traveling itself, their motorbike Hermes being the only other consistent character. A story about stories, text and the nebulousness of telling them.
spice and wolf
its a pretty grounded fantasy so it might not be exactly what you're looking for but it features medieval ish folklore style supernatural elements, the whole two seasons of original series is a big road movie with a very charming pair with great chemistry, its a very fun watch
>>3msxkelsbak2q
Lately I've really liked Witch Hat Atelier, and I've been recommended Frieren: Beyond Journey's End endlessly. Made in Abyss is great too if you can stomach it.
Land of the Lustrous is one of my all time favorites, though I'm not confident it counts as fantasy?
as for older stuff I can vouch for Spice and Wolf being peak, I remember Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE being fantasy-esque too. Knight's & Magic is a fantasy take on Mecha I remember being charming.
Discuss your faves here! Or what you're watching/reading. Spoiler tags please for important plot points.
My faves are Bocchi The Rock! (anime) and Rock is a Lady's Modesty (anime). I think for Bocchi I want to experience the anime first so I'm not caught up in the manga.
Totally in love with Girl Meets Rock! but ive paused halfway through because I wanna wait for more chapters to come out, especially scanlations with uncensored lyrics.
Just started dipping my toe into Bandori and I heard BanG Dream It's MyGO!!!!! was a good place to start if you aren't planning on going thru the whole catalog. Two episodes in and I'm really liking it so far.

I am thinking about the nintendo 64 tonight... I was 4 or 5 when I first got a nintendo 64 and while I played a lot of Pokemon Snap and Mario 64, I had some more weird games too. Mischief Makers was one of the first games I ever owned, but I've never beat it...
