Very excited for new movie in a couple months, not sure how long it'll take to get subbed / western release, but very excited. New manga chapters have been a little more frequent also and very excited to see where things are going.

mori calliope jumpscare lol
my friend was so hype last night about the mori calliope news
my friend was never the same since he heard the news his eyes have been glowing red
i just reread and caught up with the manga recently and ohhhhhhh my god the new quad amputee loli/shota twins that were introduced in the new arc are like bait for me specifically. I really hope the scene of them wiggling around in the bath is just as gratuitous in the movie as it was in the manga

I really enjoyed what has been published so far.
I've never been assigned to a submarine, but I have been assigned to a very small DDG during my time in the Navy, and it struck me as very well crafted. I can tell when an Author has researched their work very well by how it matches with my lived experiences, sometimes.
Girls' Last Tour was excellent, and I'm wondering what sort of very human and very empathetic pains will emerge from a tale fundamentally concerned with a culmination to war.
These days, it feels tragically relevant.
Anyways, I am going to be thinking about Canned Universe for a long time.
wahoo new chapter.. i really liked it!
thematically this seems to lead to humanity inventing the simulation program where shimeji simulation takes place? there was someone who looked a lot like majime at the end o-o

a friend sent this picture and asked
>Is there a name for this genre of art? Like an overly detailed doomsday 20th century war?
this is downstream of harajuku subculture brands. jirai-kei / yami kawaii specifically if you just look at the general composition of the anime girl. but there is other stuff going on that is more like, they were inspired by that stuff and made something in a different cultural context. but idk if you were asking more generally cos there is a whole history lesson to pick apart in that piece lol.
the angle of overly detailed doomsday 20th century war? i dont know if there is a name for it. the moe military stuff kinda intersected with the cyberpunk/street wear look that has been popular in the past decade. and the op schizo stuff is probably entirely an american thing. but that is not to say there arent a lot of people going for this look because it seems like its a natural next step
so you had cyberpunk in the 80s. and then the west and japan recycled that forever. neon katakana script became cool in america. that kinda thing. and then you had ghost in the shell, battle angel alita, lain. this all took off here. and then that became cool again in the 2020s w cyberpunk 2077 as post-cyberpunk and what have you.
in the background you had nerds doing military moe stuff in japan. the girl is the weapon. (kancolle -> girls frontline -> arknights -> blue archive) and this inevitably crashed into streetwear and cyberpunk in the mainstream.
at the same time you had alt culture japan. you had gothic lolita that sublimated into the mental health crisis that was being grappled with. menhera stuff. sickly girls cute. (evangelion rei, lain -> yami-kawaii -> jirai-kei) this is where you get girls eating pills and cutting and ED and stuff as an anime subculture. yea its incestuous :-(
(continued...)
(... continued)
in america here we had military surplus taking off in the second hand market. lots of this stuff was exported to japan as a style. i learned abt this from (name omitted). i think it started with some fashion week thing but it took off like wildfire. over time it became a part of street wear and esp in japan, who had largely stopped innovating with war since it became a crime with article 9 and disarmament and stuff. people were sick of war and their family members dying left and right. so it escaped into fiction. battleship yamato (1974) is a good example, literally resurrecting a sunken ship from ww2 but its okay now because its in space and not on the pacific ocean
so basically this all converged into this t-shirt. sorry this is not helpful in any way shape or form to answer your question but i had fun thinking about it

anything i missed, anons?
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!

> This recording was made in the audience by a friendly local and is an entirely faithful capture of the atmosphere that surrounded Tenniscoats during this time. You can literally hear the audience becoming completely entranced by Saya and Ueno’s performance. I was honoured to play alongside them for this show. It’s not something I talk about much, but my first life in music was as a drummer and a flicker of that life is captured here
"heathen earth" is my favorite throbbing gristle release, not quite as gritty and nightmarish as second annual, and not quite as austere and quirky as jazz-funk, it manages this middle ground that truly feels oneiric and surreal, no other gristle album feels to me as specific to the internet age's twilight than this one

Favorites in descending order. Because of how frequently I've migrated to fresh accounts, over the course of six years, I have lost and subsequently found the DnB set, which I linked below, a total of four times. I decided to wisen up today and rip it to my phone so that I won't lose it again (~_~;)

hihi! ive been trying to find for a couple days a game that feels like a very specific kinda movie ... idk if it exists! i just rly want something that feels kinda slow and echoey and mumbley. i just rly want something that has that feeling and is in a big city - like its hard for me to get excited for something like deltarune because i dont live in a small town, yknow? i want something that feels like where i live! hope thats not too silly
none of these are exactly it, but the games that get kinda close that ive found are : demonschool, yiik, deltarune (ofc), london seirei tanteidan, labyrinth.os, kowloons gate, knuckle sandwich, twewy? i think this game might not exist lol but i figure i should ask. thanks!

I did an academic paper on Kigu for College, once, and I got to cite some of ppilotco's very informative 'zines on the topic. If you're just curious about Kigu as a subculture, or you're interested in getting started, I think they're nice reads.
I have a friend who looks like this one.
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.

Is anyone here familiar with this manga site? Is there a way to download manga you have purchased?
personally don't use this one, but a lot of these manga reader sites have very persnickety drm (I believe fanza has it's own file format for example), if there's no obvious download option then so you'd probably have to use some sort of scrapper to get things off it. Inspect element and finding the img source might also work, but very time consuming as you'd have to do it for each page.
>>3mvlankghdc2c
in some cases there's decrypting scripts floating around for their file formats but I don't know if anyone's bothered to make the same for other sites. People tend to only make them for reader sites that handle R18 stuff.
did you try gallery-dl? it doesnt support all sites but it can undo the drm ghosts-san is talking about. sometimes

I appreciate the thought out responses, I was definitely reading things that weren't in the posts into them because of my own past experiences, we agree much more than I initially thought, sorry about the confrontational attitude.
Shoutout to nuance fr, I think I just felt a knee-jerk reaction to defend the cringe-kids cuz I was similar myself when I was younger, and I try to push back on my own feelings of rejection of the younger generation because of that. It definitely does make sense for marketing in a post-TikTok world to have these bite sized rough ideas to communicate ideas as quickly as possible, but I agree that we're worse off for it.
i worked in marketing for a bit, and this is maybe the most extreme example of something i've seen people call aesthetic affiliation. by listing a bunch of subcultural labels i.e. "traumacore", pastel gore, and so on - the game markets itself directly to people who identify with those labels. a lot of larger indie games use this strategy because word of mouth is the cheapest form of marketing, and building a community around a recognisable aesthetic is both inexpensive and effective, whether or not the person doing it fully understands the strategy themselves.
this is an unusually concentrated and clumsy example. it seems more concerned with repeatedly validating the reader’s than appealing to anyone outside its intended subculture, although i can respect that commitment to an extent. search visibility is unfortunately extremely important on the modern internet, including steam, and the developer is clearly trying to fill the description with recognisable terms that might improve discoverability. they’re just integrating them very poorly. i'm not fond of this strategy at all and much prefer the tried and true method recent games like "beastfolk barber" implement
>>3muralus42k2z
You've pretty much articulated the first par of what I was gonna say but in much smarter words
It's also realistically the 'capitalism doesn't give people time to think' so going off of those markers is easier than examining the page and reviews to see if you'd like something (at least in theory )
And of course inexperience in the marketing side from the dev, saying what's cool about a thing without just recounting the whole plot and 50 things that do not matter is hard enough if you didn't make the thing, but the author often has a lot of things floating in their brain that make it hard to imagine what it looks like for the audience on a first impression
ive seen friends enjoying this game a lot, the type of friends who would usually be uninterested in a game with this presentation
