/a/ - Animu & Mango★

>>852605 (OP)

> I feel like this season started out really good and it's kind of fizzled out halfway in

I feel the same. I only picked up 4 shows, but I feel burned out with most of them. Tonegawa is the only show I'm genuinely enjoying and anticipating. I fell behind on the anime club, and need to marathon through the latter half of Lodoss. It's been refreshing though. I think I've been watching too much slice of life lately. Didn't know there was a new streamer tonight, but I'm looking forward to it like any other Saturday.

I thought the season started off weak, and I still think that now, but overall I'm watching 19 shows at the midpoint which is slightly above average. What's missing are the 10/10s. There's not a single show that is really outstanding. Revue Starlight is probably the closest, but it just doesn't quite have enough in it. There's Overlord, but Overlord is getting hit by the downtime episodes where nothing particularly fun or interesting happens. YnS also had one or two such episodes. Planet With is all around good, but not that good. And so on, and so on, with Tonegawa, Isekai Maou, High Score Girl; then Akkun to Kanojo is great, but a 3-minute show just can't fit enough of a punch to get into the 10/10 range.

So there's a lot of good shows, but none of them stand out enough to be competing with Sorayori for AOTY.

>>852623

It's an interesting idea for a thread. There are times when I'd like to chat about older shows without wanting to make a general just for that show Sort of like a Questions and Comments TDDTOT. Though I suppose saving it for r/a/dio makes the party more lively.

>>852631

Sometimes I've been thinking about making a general thread for seasonal anime that just can't sustain their own thread as well, but the downside is that it's hard to tell at the start of the season if I'll even be watching any shows like that. In any case I don't think it'd hurt to have a general discussion thread, so long as it doesn't run off on its own, becoming 70% of the board traffic.

>>852605 (OP)

I've been going through my backlog while watching some shows this season.

>Are you going to enjoy r/a/dio tonight with the new DJ?

I didn't know there was going to be a new DJ tonight.

>>852634

>seasonal anime that just can't sustain their own thread

This. I'm probably the only one watching Free. Its quite enjoyable because if you watch with yuri goggles its becomes cute girls swimming cutely with implied yuri. All the characters act like girls and one of them is essentially Yui so it works.

Is anyone else watching Banana Fish? Its literally gay beyond Free level but is interesting enough to keep watching. That immediately makes it better than the smartphone 2.0 anime.

In the same topic, does anyone know the continuation date for Beatless and Marchen Madchen?

>>852605 (OP)

>How are things going, anon?

Its that time of year before the fall storm begins. Referring to normalfags being active again with NFL, MLB, holiday seasons, eating too much, etc. I'm just enjoying the last of time of year when being alone is seen as acceptable by them.

>Are you enjoying this current season?

Its pretty average. The CGDCT shows are not that great (except yama no susume) but next season looks to be fantastic as long as theyre all not shorts. Asobi Asobase, the yakuza turned idol anime, and chiochan I thought would be much more hilarious than they are. Theyre funny but only enough to smile or chuckle and never enough to leave you suffocating.

>newcomers in radio

As long as they don't fight each other its okay. I'm biased toward Torpedo because Haifuri was a good anime.

>>852644

Marchen Madchen is apprently going to air the least two episodes in december.

>>852644

>Is anyone else watching Banana Fish?

I watched the first couple of episodes. It was interesting to see a Japanese take on an American crime story but it just got kind of dumb and it wasn't engaging enough to keep watching.

I used to think MAPPA could do no wrong but they haven't made a good show in a while now.

>>852644

>better than the smartphone 2.0 anime

Smartphone 2.0 was probably the worst thing I picked up this season, and that badminton anime was really pretty fucking bad too. I usually don't mind these isekai harem whatevers, at least manage to finish them even if there's plenty to dislike, but Smartphone 2.0 took all the worst aspects of each with almost none of the good ones, dropped it around the fourth episode.

I'm not watching either of those, but I'm still watching Kyoto Holmes somehow, which is also pretty gay. Literally every episode is

>"hello i am holmes desu"

>something happens

>"heh, this is below my level, I figured out exactly what happened before it even happened"

<"sugoiiiii Holmes-san, kakkoiiii~~"

>"nothin' personnel, bby"

<"uwuwu kyoto danshi wa ikezu desu ne"

>>852663

>Kyoto Holmes

Watching that one too. Its exactly what you said. I'm only in it for the historical piece autism. If he was just a generic guy with no autism it would be a waste of time.

>smartphone

Be glad you dropped it. It is starting to go downhill as they just started the "i dont want this harem" arc along with kind of dropping the whole smartphone for tactics aspect. MC is just making stuff up as he goes at this point.

>>852658

Its an American crime story, it was dumb from the start.

What time's the r/a/dio? I might listen along, get drunk and funpost. I haven't listened to a r/a/dio in a couple years because uni and my fucked up sleep schedule.

>>852672

Probably in an hour or two if it's at the usual time frame.

>>852672

I saw a post about it on /k/ a while back, all I know is that it's some kind of weeb music stream. Maybe I'll listen to some of it since my plans for the night got delayed anyways.

>>852672

I'm planning to start on the hour. Please tune in and get drunk with us.

>>852679

Outsiders are not welcome

>>852684

/k/ are always welcome.

>>852686

>>852687

/k/ is welcome, but there's a difference between the normal overlap of /a/ and /k/, and someone from /k/ who wandered in after seeing an ad for "some kind of weeb music stream".

Just started r/a/dio.

Seeing how mangled the HorribleSubs subtitles were in Hakumei to Mikochi was the last straw, and I stopped watching seasonal anime at that point and tried to better my taste. BD release with a non-meme sub group or nothing, every season a backlog season, and learning Japanese to eventually read the source material directly.

>>852636

I keep telling myself to pick up Jashin-chan. I can't believe we're already on Episode 7, time is just flying this summer!

>>852928

I have a love hate relationship with Jashin-chan. I hate Jashin with a passion, but like all the other characters. Jashin makes me want to drop her show so badly though.

New Hatoba Tsugu video. I dunno if producing these videos are expensive but holy shit, this one is oddly beautiful. There's now a Patreon of sorts, and from what I can get from the translation if that it'll be a movie of sorts. They opened it during the night, they're asking for 8 million yen, and they have already donated 23%, with 10 months to finish donating. These people love Hatoba. I do as well, the mysterious/spooky/melancholic vibe of her videos are something I'm liking a lot.

Anyone else burned out on anime?

>>852989

They're being really creative with the characters, this is really neat. I hope they don't ever blow their load and give out answers as to what they're trying to convey, I hope they leave it as vague as possible, it also saves them the hassle of answering people and establishes the character's mystery even better.

>>852970

I burned out years ago and generally just read manga now. I find it more enjoyable and less strenuous to let my mind animate and voice the scenes based on a few good still drawings vs trying to constantly look past QUALITY animation. The brain is very good at filling in missing information but very bad at filtering out bad information.

>>852970

Not really, I usually try to mix anime, manga, and games so I don't get too tired of any of them.

>>853068

Imagine being this bitter

>>852970

I get burned out easily which is why I balance it with r/a/dio, LNs, VNs/Games, and Manga. I really like my LNs.

>>852695

What was wrong with them? I don't remember noticing anything.

>>852970

I get 'burned out' when a season is shit, but during good seasons I rise from the ashes and suddenly I'm watching 15 shows again.

Incidentally, this season is total shit.

>>853095

This right here. Taking it slow and watching only the stuff you are interested in is the best option.

>>852605 (OP)

>Blogpost general

No, fuck off.

>>852619

Agreed on a lot of points, even if I don't like the shows you mentioned.

A lot of watchable shows, not one particularly amazing.

The strong point of the season is how some of the best comedy series in a long time are airing.

The weak point being no good SOL, or loli series.

>>852940

If anyone, I hate Yurine in that show. Jashin is a devil and so she acts her part, but she is surprisingly loving beyond the facade. Even if she really don't consider giving her devil side a stop until she's forced to.

>>853274

Reinhard von Lohengramm is an obvious pick alongside Honk.

>>853274

Honk would be better as a head of state, not involved in the day to day functioning of the government but always there for speeches and encouragement. For generals, Miho and Maho are my picks.

>>853280

Reinhard is a space admiral, so he should be in charge there.

>>852605 (OP)

>Is life going alright? I know this is a stressful time of year between new schools, new jobs, moving, and new bills

I was all set to move out of my parents' house. Had a really nice apartment picked and everything (brand new building, in-suite laundry and temperature control, good location, etc.). Then I ran the numbers one last time and realized that if I lived with them until at least next May, I could pay off my entire student debt and still have plenty left in the bank for contingencies once I do move out. As much as it pains me to abandon my plans, I can't pass up becoming debt-free only a year into grad school.

Sage for blogpost, even though it's what OP asked for.

>>853317

>grad school

What made you want to go to that hell hole?

>>853358

Partly the fact that it's the only real way to get access to the necessary instruments and data, partly the fact that it's the only way to get people to pay me for my research, and partly the fact that it means MNRAS, Nasa, and so on will take me seriously.

>>853363

Its good you have clear goals in mind. People that go just because they didn't get a job end up hating it the most.

Do I need to watch the first two seasons of Digimon to appreciate and enjoy Digimon Tamers? I've heard tamers has more going for it than just a kid's show, so I'm willing to give it a shot. Or rather, I'm willing to give it a shot if I don't need to sit through two seasons of a show that looks like Pokemon.

>>855513

I don't think it's that bad. The main problem is with the text formatting. The text shouldn't be extending beyond the black boxes, and white text on a light background is hard to read.

"The next morning..." is unnecessary, as are the white borders separating the images.

Could be a nice thread if not 853026. Disgusting.

Is anyone watching chinkshit monmusu, aka Shiyan Pin Jiating? How bad is it?

>>859359

>finished airing

*was

>>857425

I don't remember Digimon ever being a kid's show like Pokemon if you're watching the subs and not the dubs. It was obviously not an "adult" show by any stretch, but it was hardly a "kid" show like Pokemon from what I recall. Plus those first two seasons were enjoyable.

>>862026

>Painting is hard

Well, you did a good job painting that Mitty figure at least.

>>862026

What the fuck did you do?

>>862038

I put her in the elevator

Okay, so those who haven't followed my sculpting adventures, this is Nanachi I sculpted. I now painted her but shit's hard. At least I can paint her million times, so it's not that of a huge loss.

>>862026

I remember an anon saying they were going to make a sculpture of Nanachi. Good for you for going through with it.

>>862049

I don't know how to paint, but I'm going to use a line I see on /tg/ minis painting threads and hope it's relevant:

THIN YOUR PAINTS

>>862026

Hooly shit you need to got to /tg/ and ask for advice on painting.

>>862049

Anon who recommended sculpey and offered up some tips months ago here: You did really great for a beginner. The first few attempts aren't going to turn out right. Each time you start on something new, you'll get a little better and learn to use the tricks you taught yourself along the way. Keep making mistakes so you can get them out of the way.

Also, don't be afraid to try and repair and improve what you've already made. Sure, there's something to be said about doing something right the first time, but refinement is a skill too.

>>862083

>Actually, not really.

I think anon was referring to the fact that he can always create new Nanachi sculpts, not that he plans to repaint this one over and over.

>Don't pickle it to death

That's actually what I was about to do. But if Rob Ross says so, I won't.

I also bought acrylic paints now, none of this enamel bs anymore. I can thin acrylic with water, enamel would've required some kind of fairy juice so I didn't bother.

Going to look for some tutorials now. I'll make mitty next, she makes a good test subject.

>>862026

Painting tips from a fa/tg/uy:

Primer: put a layer of primer colour on the entire thing. Black or white, your choice. Black primer makes shadows stand out more. White primer makes highlights easier. It's entirely up for preference/the colours you want to apply later. Anyone who says otherwise is a liar. Since Nanachi's fur is mostly white, I would suggest a white or grey primer.

This hides natural imbalances in the material. It also allows the colours that go on top of it to be spread with different layers of thickness. Having primer shimmer trough the paint at some spots, and having a thicker layer of colour in others makes the colouring look more natural, and allows you to do highlights/shadows a lot easier.

Thin your fucking paints: /tg/ has few serious memes. This is one of them. Thin your fucking paints. Take a glass of water, put a bit of colour on some surface (not the figurine), dip your brush into water, mix it with the paint and only then should you start painting.

Paints are always far too thick for figurines. They will cover too much of the primer and will reflect light too much, causing a glossy look. A thin layer of paint also won't conceal all the details of the actual material below. Thinning your paints allows you to be much more precise with how thick you want your paints to be, from a watery "barely a hint" of red to "cut if off already!" red. You can achieve very natural looks with a solid primer and thinned paints.

Wash and drybrushing: Did you finish your figurine, but you think it is missing something? Do shadows not stand out as much, and do light areas not shine as bright as you want them too?

A nice way to finish your figure is by washing and drybrushing it. "Wash paints" are super duper thin paints, that are most often dark in colour. You can paint your figure with them, and they will run into folds and accumulate in areas where there would be natural shadows. Don't overuse them. There is no need to thin them.

"Drybrushing" is the opposite of washing. It is used to highlight areas where you would think light is reflecting, or to add a slight transition in colour. Use a stiff brush and do it very quickly. Use very very little paint.

Watch all of the videos on that channel actually. It's very good.

Wash and drybrushing isn't "necessary", but it can really add to the figure.

>>862036

That was very rude. I laughed though.

>>862083

This anon tells the truth.

>>862121

>enamel

I fucking knew it. I should have tried to guess what you were using.

Enamel is used more for model cars and planes and the like. Detail retention is abysmal, you'll notice the difference when you switch to acrylics. Also, you should know you'll probably do well with artist's paints from a craft store. Modeling paints are formulated to retain fine detail and attempt to hold up to manhandling by greasy neckbeards, but they're also pound-for-pound more expensive than a tube of artist's paints. Eventually, you might find yourself branching out into other styles and techniques; the basics are identical and everything you've been told so far is correct, but this is closer to bust painting than miniature figure painting. That's not something you worry about until much later down the road, though.

>>862244

Use a spray can to prime. It ensures an even layer over the entire surface and spray cans of white or black paint are quite cheap.

>>862256

I live in a city so I don't really want to go outside with my autism or ruin the balcony. Also it's winter soon, 80% humidity isn't probably good for spraying. Airbrush is expensive with the compressor and what-not.

>>862244

>>862280

They sell brush-on primer at craft stores. Not as good as spray-on, but it works. I don't think many of them play well with water, though. The Vallejo primer I have will turn runny, lose it's surface adhesion, and start clogging up details. It also dries with this weird glossy finish. I have a half-gallon jug of economy de gesso, and it says on the label:

>If thinned with water, cracking and poor adhesion occur

I used to use it, and thin it with water, back when I first started, and it was a big reason why so many of my first models looked like shit. Usually primer is thin enough right out of the bottle that it won't interfere with detail.

Now you've got a taste, and you're going to begin spending more and more on better and better supplies. Maybe one day you'll decide you want to try oils, or find a way to justify dropping a fat chunk of change on Windsor and Newtons. You will be compelled to buy that airbrush one day, it is an inevitability now.

>>862280

Your bathtub will make a good spray room provided you know how to set some plastic up.

>>862402

A large cardboard box can also work quite well. Open the box up and put on it's side. Place the model on a block of wood in the box. Spray into the box and rotate the model by turning the block of wood.

>>862280

>>862256

Rattle-can-primer is nice to have, but not a must. I used normal brush primer for years and it works fine.

You usually don't have to thin primer, but if you really want to make sure that certain details don't get washed under you can thin it a little bit

It's not so much about how thick the layer of paint is, but rather how well it covers what's below. Different paints works differently, and there are lots of differences between paints from different brands. You should experiment a lot and see what works best for your equipment.

>>862402

>>862403

You should still have good ventilation, though. Unless anon enjoys the high from the fumes.

>>862523

Mask + Bathroom exhaust fan should be enough for a rattlecan, unless the anon is some sort of savage.

>>862545

>tire compressor

I've always wondered if those will work for airbrushes. We sell them at my work for cheap, but they all plug into cigarette lighter outlets in cars. Part of me wonders if I could rewire it to plug into a normal house outlet, but it's probably a bad idea.

>No bathtub.

I don't understand.

>>862547

You need a 12V adapter to run it off 220V. However, there are two issues, one is that these compressors usually don't have enough airflow, they supposedly have around 25L/min, and airbrushes tend to be rated for about 70-80L/min, the other is that if you use those cheap tire compressors for a long time continuously (more than 10 minutes) they will overheat and eventually fail pretty quickly.

You can buy regular 220V compressors for 70-80 shekels nowadays and they tend to have pressure regulators on them too.

Thoughts on Azur Lane? How does it stack up against Kancolle?

I've generally stopped coming to /a/ but I want you all to know that I adore and love you.

>>862604

All I remember about it is that it is made by chinese and had a neptunia collaboration.

>>862545

Don't bother with the tire compressor. I have tried it and it's not worth it. On it's own it can't produce a steady airflow and even with a reservoir I had a whole car wheel under my desk the air only suffices for half a cup of paint with not enough to clean the brush. Plus the compressor makes a horrible noise as it slowly fill the reservoir up to the whatever little pressure it can produce.

>>871882

That's fine, but the comparison I was ultimately getting at was

>cute girl gets hurt by bad people, so sad

that is, the rape/murder scenes in episode 1. Which didn't really achieve anything other than having a graphic, sad scene for the sake of having a graphic, sad scene. Which was the same in Ulysses. Cheap feelbait, or fapbait if you are so inclined.

>>871885

>Which didn't really achieve anything other than having a graphic, sad scene for the sake of having a graphic, sad scene.

It's literally to show how devastating goblins are and how people underestimate them.

Goblins are weak on their own, so adventurers would rather go and kill a dragon, plus adventurers think monster = dumb and weak = lv 1, so showing adventurers getting fucking raped and mauled by these weak creatures really get across the point that they are something that should not be left alone.

Also, it's on the first episode to set the tone of the series, so you don't have goblin slayer killing goblin kids out of nowhere without you understanding why. Also, IIRC that's either the only one or one of two rapes in the series, the other are just attempts or mentions.

>>871895

>>871911

How do you quit the bad taboo hentai doujin once you've seen them. It just makes me jaded and sad, but at the same time I find fascination in the depths of depravity of the artist's minds and don't let it affect me personally. But I still sympathize with what's going on and it's clear when some artists intended to evoke a certain feeling which is difficult to just callously brush off. I do just brush it off eventually though. What's the incentive behind all of this, though? I'm starting to think life is meant to be lived in a perpetual state of discontent and fear, and some of the rare stuff on sadpanda is there to evoke that primal feeling of tribulation. So it makes you feel alive but it also makes you feel bad and the bad feeling persists. Maybe that constant fear is just how life is meant to be lived if not for the pampering of modern day society.

But here's what bothers me, as of late I stopped being interested in the actual material being written and drawn and more interested in the author, regardless of the created material. I think this is all from too much isolation which makes me wish to understand and know the makers of what I fap to more than the material itself. Anyone else experience this? I used to not really pay much attention to the artists but now I can't help thinking about meeting them for no particular purpose at all. For obvious reasons this only applies to hentai-related doujinshi.

>>871927

I, personally, don't think it's a good idea to derive philosophical insights on the nature of existence from hentai doujins. The more deprived the art the more depraved the mind of the artists, it is not a good idea to find any contentment from these sources. A good book nurtures the mind, a bad one leads to bad education, and one born from the hateful and depraved will lead to same. I'd suggest putting your inquiries and current wants in the fruitful and happy, or at the very least the imaginary, for mental health. Really, one has to ask, what does this say about you? Often, when I'm lonely, I imagine myself to be with those I admire. To ask and share in the pains and aims of life. The symptoms may share a common root.

Like all attachments the goal is to remove yourself from any suggestive or arousing environments. You can do this either mentally through shear willpower, as in mentally stopping yourself from thinking about the thing(s) you don't want to think about, or physically (or virtually) by removing yourself from anyplace that might arouse your vice. There is no shortcut, but pain gives sweet reward. Perhaps, maybe, suffering can be it's own reward.

This is general life advice. Find something you're interested in and engage in it. Life becomes pointless without engaging in a skill, any skill.

>>871912

>It is not, they could've gotten away with a far milder scene, hell, a good writer could've gotten away with mere suggestions to get the exact same point across.

I'd argue that it makes sense, considering the story.

Goblin Slayer was an innocent kid happily living with his sister, the adults jokingly scared the children with stuff like "you become a golbin if you're jealous", goblins were just boogeyman. Then one day goblins attacked, raped his sister in front of him and fucking mauled everyone in the village. He gets to the point where he could seek bigger foes, get money, settle down, get woman or anything he wanted, yet he doesn't do it, because he's just a broken autistic kid in an armor moved purely by emotional reasons.

You come in expecting the default RPG hero story, then you get in your face graphic content, it really settles the tone of the story and gives you the mindset of the protagonist.

Later on in the story the girl whose friends got killed by goblins hesitates to kill a kid, whereas both you and GS who know what the green plague acknowledge the need to kill the niglets, because you saw what they could do.

When you make someone talk about it, either by mentions or actually talking about it, it loses a lot of the impact. The character is telling you his view on things. But when you experience it first hand as an objective fact it makes it really personal, so I don't think suggestions would work as well.

Also, verbose stuff sucks in anime, so while a text-only graphic depiction could work in the mango or in a LN, I think actually showing it in visual format was the best for the anime.

The problem is that Goblin Slayer plays be really fucking stupid double standards. So, like, everything plays by JRPG rules on the surface. Class systems, magic name attacks, enemy types, armor... all of it screams generic JRPG fantasy setting. And then the author wants us to take him seriously when he pulls stuff like "Ha ha, look at these named characters not wearing helmets so you can see their face. They are so easy to kill! lol, aren't they dumb for wearing such impractical armor?" Which is only smart if you are fucking shit tier pleb who takes the 'twist' at face value. What it REALLY does is create the plot hole in the authors own setting of "if this armor is so fucking impractical and shitty, how is there an entire manufacturing economy that mass produces this stuff such that all these adventurers keep getting their hands on it? And how has no one figured out that heads are a vulnerable part of the body before now if all of the enemies do nothing but cheap shot the skull?" Its like the entire world used to operate by different rules and, as soon as the story starts, suddenly all of the tropes stopped working and everything became gritty and realistic, and none of the characters have learned the new rules yet because last week this wasn't how the world worked. It just the most garbage, bottom tier of power fantasy: the MC is stronk not because he is anything special, but because the entire rest of the world has been written to be inexplicably and illogically inept.

Until D&D 3.5 (maybe some instances of 3.0), it was widely understood that an enemy could get critical hits without having to roll to confirm if you weren't wearing a helmet.

>>872124

I've never heared that before. In general, armor is usually a complete set and not individual parts. Except for magical pieces of armor.

>Visiting cuckchan as late as 2015

W-Where is everyone? /a/ is spooky dead.

And hey, where's that anon who said he was going to stream Halloween episodes of anime for us? I hope he didn't forget.

>>872300

>3 day ban for that

I forgot how far 4chan had fallen.

>>875011

Did you not know? Everyone on /a/ is a little girl so we're all out trick-or-treating together.

>>875022

It... it's nothing... sorry. I'm not sure what I'm looking for myself. A name I remember, I guess...

Technically this thread no longer exists, but if you have a direct link to it, you can still access it. I went ahead and archived it because it was fucking great.

>>875507

Yes, finally! I loved that thread!

Embrace it фаггот.

Hello normalfag.

>>885135

It wasn't just a MEPS, too, by the way. I've had anxiety about just about any situation outside of being at home for a while, I just blamed it on me being sheltered.

Is anyone else still watching Banana Fish? The plot has advanced quite a ways since I last saw anyone post about it 10 weeks ago. Its getting more entertaining as we reach the climax.

>>885894

They're both disgusting, to be honest. The green tea pocky isn't horrible, but it's just a biscuit and tea-flavored glaze.

>>885894

I like original flavour ramune (basically just citrus). I also like cookie & cream pocky. In saying I only have them on the very odd occasion so I am by no means a connoisseur.

>>885902

>>885904

The strawberry ramune just tasted like normal fruit soda to me, it didn't seem bad.

>>885907

>just tasted like normal fruit soda to me

Soda is gross.

Linda Linda Linda is my favorite movie.

>>885934

I wonder who this could be.

>>885932

ever funnel a bunch of baking soda into one then give it a helping of vinegar? 6/10 times the bottles pop.

>>885932

It never actually occurred to me that there are people who have never tried ramune.

>>885918

Can't you just vakuum that room?

>>885918

There is this neat trick that my brother used to do whenever he lost legos on the floor.

Lay down, put one cheek on the floor, close the eye that is furthest from the floor, and look around. The piece of glass will stand out.

>>886046

Keeping your room well vacuumed so your waifu isn't disgusted by it is one of the principles of a proper NEET life.

>>885902

>Green Tea

>Good on anything

I'll take my first hand experience with green tea and call bullshit. And I've had plenty of the green tea version of chocolate candy in Japan.

>>885911

Oh, now you're just being silly.

>>885932

I'd have it more, but it's so damn expensive.

>>886112

Because green tea chocolate is gross. You're supposed to get a cream-based green tea or a hard candy green tea so you get the bitter with the sweet.

>>886114

Ramune is $1.79 for me, that's not very expensive.

>>886118

It depends on how often you drink soda. I have a Tab or an energy drink once ever third or fourth day, so ~$2/soda isn't horrible for me. If you drink a soda every day, you can get 12 packs for like $3-$4 so that's a lot for one soda.

>>886118

It's like $3 for me.

>>886114

I've had two melon ramune in my fridge for months, I can't decide when to drink them because they're almost $4 where I live.

>>886147

>>886150

What do you do with them?

>>886112

>I'll take my first hand experience with green tea and call bullshit. And I've had plenty of the green tea version of chocolate candy in Japan.

Green tea pocky is disgusting.

>>886152

I just put them on my keyboard between some keys, they are nice to look at.

>>885934

It's a good movie.

>>886147

Make sure to wipe it with a cotton ball so you don't get microshards of glass embedded in your hand.

>>886162

I washed it with hand soap.

>>886147

>Trying to keep your marbles.

Are you a Dark Souls character?

>>862072

I like where this is going

>>886158

What will you do to the marbles?

I need answers!

>>886310

What will you do with a bag of marbles?

>>886322

Does a man need a justification to possess a bag of marbles?

This and that happened so tonight is no good. We'll aim to do a Waifu Wednesday stream next week.

>>887128

I really like your style. I hope you draw more cute and lewd things.

>>887128

Candle is kawaii senpai and the drop is good. Do you go to anime school anon & how did you record this?

>>887131

You too anon. Merry Xmas.

Posting this here, this page posted a similar one a while ago and /a/ recognized all of them.

I'm awful at this kind of thing, the only thing I recognize immediately is the "ソ" is from Zombieland Saga.

>>887877

I think the お might be from SSR, the ち from Chio-chan, and the こ from Comic Girls, but take that with a grain of salt since I don't even know 100% which are katakana and which are hiragana.

>>887877

There are a few in the retweets.

The ア is from Anima Yell, ひ is from HisoMaso, マ from Yama no Susume, and や from YagaKimi.

>>887968

Look on the bright side: at least there are options other than the unmanageable 35GB ones.

>>887976

It's a BD remux, which I think means that it's basically a direct copy of the data from the BD but put in a different container format. BDs have a large capacity (typically 25-50 GB), so that size isn't surprising.

If Gridman and Goblin Slayer were down there with SAO, it wouldn't even be that bad.
