/animu/ - Anime & Otaku Culture

We had one before but I guess it died.

Hey everyone.

I just wanted you to know I will not be enforcing any swift rule changes, this board will continue to operate as before as a lax place for discussion of japanese culture and anime.

Feel free to ask anything ITT

I'm having a problem with 4chan. I don't know how to type things. Is 4chan having a problem, or is it just me? yet

I was using 4chan, but it's strange I don't know how to type anything. This is odd. Can someone explain this to me? Are there problems with 4chan, or is it deleted yet?

>fuck Crunchyroll

>fuck Funimation

What about HiDive? They're a bit newer of a stream site, and I haven't seen any controversies like I have with the others.

Hey /animu/ since you guys liked the Your Name stream I figured you might like if I or other anons started streaming movies on a Saturday night. I'm hoping we can plan shit out so everyone on the board can be happy.

Saturdays at 7:30 pm EDT -- https://cytu.be/r/Jazzynight

Is this a red flag or no?

A Chinese ship-girl game, it was seen originally seen as a KanColle ripoff. Now, Azur Lane is gaining popularity in Japan giving the native KanColle a run for their money due to improving upon the gameplay and fixing issues that KanColle wouldn't fix. You can go and play the Japanese version of the APK or you can just enjoy the lewds done by many Nip artists.

Yo anons, it's the same OP from that Amnesia Wind thread (https://8kun.top/animu/res/119340.html). Been diving deep into Chainsaw Man lately, and man, why'd they have to kill off so many characters? Like, what was Fujimoto thinking? Power, Aki, Angel Demon, Himeno... all gone, and it hits hard. Power was such a gremlin, her and Meowy (prolly dead too, rip) brought so much chaos energy. Aki's death was just brutal, that Gun Devil fight? Oof, my heart. Angel Demon had that tragic vibe, and Himeno, damn, her sacrifice was peak "I'm not crying, you're crying" moment.

Kinda reminds me of other gut-punch deaths like Suyi from Amnesia Wind. Girl was out there surviving a messed-up world, only to get snuffed out like it was nothing. Or Cosmo from Sonic X, that plant-alien kid who went full martyr to save everyone. Funny thing, Chainsaw Man literally has a character named Cosmo, and guess what? She ded too. Irony much?

Fujimoto's just out here swinging the scythe, no mercy. Makes you wonder if he's got a grudge against happy endings. Compare that to, say, Blade from Marvel, Vampire Hunter D, Dante, or Hellboy. Those demon-vampire bois are out here collaborating with humans, saving the world, no problem. But in Chainsaw Man? Nah, devils and humans ain't teaming up for no buddy cop flick. It's all betrayal and blood.

And then there's Makima. Bet she's just gonna snap her fingers and reboot reality or something. They teased Power and Aki coming back, but nah, we're still stuck with the L. No Himeno, no Angel Demon, just pain. Maybe Fujimoto's waiting for a popularity poll to bring 'em back, lol.

P.S. Maybe if we spam enough fanart and boost their ratings, Fujimoto'll pull a Makima and revive 'em. She died and came back, so why not the others? Wishful thinking, I know.

Been following this one for a while and it's genuinely strange.

there's a contemporary Japanese SF and yuri writer, published by several major houses, who's been at the center of some pretty serious online allegations for the past few months. Two young women are dead. The discussions started on X, the accounts deleted themselves, and now the whole thing lives in archives and screenshots that people keep reconstructing and arguing over.

The writer denied everything publicly, mentioned lawyers and Tokyo police, warned about defamation consequences. Standard playbook.

What's weird is the total silence around it. No publisher statement. No media coverage to speak of. No independent investigation. Just an endless loop of anonymous accounts, deleted posts, and amateur timeline reconstruction.

There's actually some English language coverage if you know where to look. Erica Friedman's Okazu blog, which is probably the most credible English voice in yuri publishing, put out a statement on it back in March. There's also a Kiwi Farms thread compiling stuff, though obviously take that for what it is.

The part I find most interesting isn't whether the allegations are true. It's how Japanese online culture handles something like this when every formal institution just refuses to engage. You end up with this weird ecosystem where everyone's seen the discussion and nobody official will touch it.

Seen anything similar in Japanese fandom or literary spaces before?

Za warudoo!

urobuchi is a faggot and emo hack cunt.

fate zero is a edgy emo pretentious overrated dogshit.

Kiritsugu is an emo faggot.

kiritsugu a manchild with a stupid ideal and boring personality, winning his fights via asspulls and le speshul matrix abilities and muh specific ability that lets him fight against much stronger and talented opponents so edgelords can powerwank their edgy selfinsert and pretend he's a better character than he actually is

>cast is full of retards who only serve to make kerry look cooler, two women who are thirsty and absurdly devoted to kerry's dick and are perfectly fine with that for some reason, full of overused tragic tropes like muh self-loathing muh tragic past muh [insert character here] is my only reason for living and bad guys having 100% plot-armor in all circumstances and scenes but nah it's fine when the villains do it etc etc.

Killing Kayneth was pointless and needlessly edgy.

>severely crippled and humiliated, the face he makes at his wife is of a man who just wants to make it out of that mess alive no matter the cost

>Assassin and Caster are dead leaving only Gil, Saber, Jets, and Rider to contract with. Rider and Saber would never contract with him, Berserker would dissipate extremely fast after Kariya is killed, and Gil's master is the least of your worries when dealing with him.

Even in actual war, people who pull the shit Kerry did are labeled as criminals and mass murderers.

Kiritsugu faggotry that killing is bad is horseshit.

So you think all wrongs are equal? A pregnant woman killing a man in self defense, if not her own then for her baby's sake, is just as wrong as that man killing the pregnant woman for fun?

Because they are both killing, so according to your logic, they should be the same.

But that's wrong you retard.

"Murder is the unlawful killing, with malice aforethought, of another human."

Killing on the battlefield, or in a duel, is not murder. (Present laws aside.)
