>4th episode

Best one yet. Asuka redeemed herself by testing the traps and being cute. They're rushing through the content, though. Didn't the rabbit hunting start at chapter 20 or something like that?

>>107899

holy shit, I remember seeing that anime one point, got interested but lost it forever.

I should give it a try one day.

New episode. Pretty good. This is starting to look like the best show this season.

Here's a little lesson in melancholy...

>togafag also a shameless cuckchannel refugee

Nobody was surprised, and OP is a faggot.

>>110708

There was Gaimon, the nigger in a box.

Also, aokiji counts depending on your definition.

I miss reading colored one piece. The new art is too messy and the pages are too wordy. Anyone else notice how there's like zero porn of one piece?

>>112513

Yeah, a lot of stuff never gets scanned.

>>110410

i love this

Does anyone know what the deal is with the latest One Piece episode? I guess it's not cannon but it's a weird that they started a bit of filler after starting to get into the Wano arc instead of like 2 or 3 episodes ago.

>>112376

It's the pre-movie (Stampede) episode, they always did this for the movies.

>>112397

Oh, makes sense I thought it was like a filler arc. So is it back to Wano next week? And were all the characters that popped up in last weeks opening that weren't in it previously in the movie or do they pop up in Wano?

>Also, Jotaro isn't at his peak in Part 4, hence the shortened timestop.

Is this explained in the manga or something? There was nothing to even hint at that in the show.

>>109628

The speculation is that he just didn’t train with it after part 3, sort of like how Joseph went from being a god with the ripple in part 2, to barely being able to use it in part 3. If you go off into fan head canon territory, there’s explanations ranging from “Jotaro dislikes using the time stop because it gives him ptsd flashbacks of Dio “killing” his grandfather and finding Kakyoin’s body” to “Stand Power is tied to breathing like the ripple, and since Jotaro is a smoker, it makes sense that he’d have reduced lung capacity and thus reduced time stop, he quits sometime between part four and part six and thus his time stop duration goes up”

Really, it’s just that Araki nerfed Star Platinum over several parts because he realized that if he kept it at part three levels the narrative would lose any kind of serious stakes, imagine Sheer Heart Attack If Jotaro had the time stop duration of part three, or the last fight with Pucci if he had both the part three time stop and Star finger.

>Fun Fun Fun comes back only to get immediately fucked up

I feel deeply ashamed for genuinely thinking we'd get an actual battle.

Welp, part 5 anime is finally over today. thanks for the wait david

My opinions on part 5 have changed somewhat now that the anime's over. I should really go back and reread the manga just to check, but I remember reading the original translation and finding it pretty boring. I suppose I can chalk that up to the translation because I actually enjoyed part 5 more after watching the anime. It's still not my favorite part (it's currently middle of the pack for me, I'd say at least beating out 1 and 6, possibly 8 as well if it continues going nowhere), and Giorno's still a little boring, but it was a pretty fun ride throughout.

Also happy they not only threw in a second special OP for GER, but also updated the ED visuals one last time for Rolling Stone and GER.

Now it's time to wait for part 6 so we can slog through that to get to part 7. I want my horse racing bromance already, dammit.

Whoa a word filter. Good.

You need to buy yourself some good taste. The series is funny as fuck.

Isn't that basically pretty much most aggregators?

What you get in not having to deal with scanlator drama and moralfaggotry fucking up what series are available, you pay in swimming in aids infested waters.

That being said, what kind of retard browses the internet these days without at the very least a layer of ublock/umatrix, and only selectively enabling scripts?

Hell, even if it wasn't for malware, you'd still end up with a completely unresponsive site gobbling up shitloads of memory, because almost everything is tied up in unoptimized, obfuscated JS.

>>112102

I have ublock and umatrix, but I'm far from the average /tech/ user and struggle with creating scripts. Regardless most aggregator sites aren't competently run. Depending on the series your following the aggregator might not have it. This doesn't take into account how virtually no website apart from madokami upload actual official scans. So finding a good aggregator is hard as hell. There's a reason batoto became popular beyond scanulator shit.

>>112105

>Regardless most aggregator sites aren't competently run

I'm pretty sure they are competently run, when you consider that they are mostly run by chinese and/or the spiritually chinese with the goal of getting a quick buck off normalfags who don't run any kind of adblocking.

>This doesn't take into account how virtually no website apart from madokami upload actual official scans

Official scans aside, there is a real lack of any dedicated download repositories as far as mango is concerned. I sure as hell hope anons are backing up the shit they like and are not just relying on online readers. Since its pretty obvious with the panda going down, that hiding your stuff behind accounts and even convoluted account age/point systems did jack shit.

>>112090

Why not just voice your concerns and speak against Mangadex going legit in that thread instead? You're jumping ship before it even starts sinking.

>>112110

>Official scans aside, there is a real lack of any dedicated download repositories as far as mango is concerned.

There really hasn't been one ever since Mangatraders shut down about five years ago.

>>111475

And if I read up to what is available from the scanlator and do not enjoy it, will you accept a differing opinion on this series?

I may be harsh for only one chapter, but this reeks of twitter artist cunt turned e-mangaka.

Oh yeah I forgot about this one. I wonder if its updated yet. I like the art style in it , the heavily inked guy vs the girl.

>>111455

I agree that the demons look irksome, but I realize it's part of the point. It's very clear that nobody in the story likes the curse. It's not meant to be embellished. It's supposed to strike at the feeling of inadequacy. The story has this constant depressed feel to it, bordering on horror. The dude's already gone, but he's still humane. It's disgusting at first, but then you'll notice brief moments of normality that are so out of place that they actually lift some of the heavy atmosphere so it won't be grimdark all the time, like the tea parties with Shiva and the demon dogs playing with the goat demon's head like a ball.

And the original song.

I've reached the age where I can only chuckle in a mix of mild amusement and embarrassment at the silliness of anime OPs.

Underrated animu

>>108867

>>111328

Could always read the manga.

are the animorphs supposed to be an allegory for soldiers with PTSD in general? surely they won't derail the "monsters have no place in a peaceful society" narrative they've been pushing with some weird vampire guy and his loli right?

Oh it's finally a anime

>>111352

You skipped the post-credits scene lad.

>The real drawback that companies hate is that in a world of try before you buy, people will generally only cough up money for things that are actually good.

That is true. In a world without piracy, people will simply buy whatever is popular/mainstream because those are the only products they have heard other people's opinions on and is sometimes the only option available. There's no way you're going to spend the extra cash on a somewhat obscure IP if you can't know beforehand if it's good or not. Those anime magazines aren't exactly good resources either because they only talk about the newest series and are often in cahoots with western licensors to only promote whatever they expect to get the most sales.

So you could say that really big companies who produce media that no one with common sense would want to spend money on if they had alternatives, like the ones in Hollywood, do get hurt by piracy. But that's only because people are allowed to have a choice thanks to piracy whereas in a world without it, you only get to have one flavor so to speak.

>>111218

Youtube streaming did pretty much kill Telltale, but they also made a lot of shitty games, and after a point people decided they'd rather watch them on Youtube than actually play them. You have to put some blame on them as a company, after a certain some point.

>>111222

Well, you can't expect people to pay for games when there isn't any real gameplay after all. I never saw the point in playing visual novels for that same reason.

>>111222

Telltale sudoku'd through pure retardation. They put out a trillion "games" on the same engine, where the only gameplay was QTEs, and with generic stories sold on choice-based systems that didn't provide actual choice.

If a single one of these variables had been different, they'd probably still exist.

Any Fighting Fantasy book has a thousand times more choice than Telltale shit. And it's better written to boot.
