Not sure what the issue here is. A lot of manga authors got their start in porn, it's hardly a new or controversial topic. If we talk about currently airing anime, especially ones from former porn artists, it'll come up every now and then. I figured a screenshot from fuckin' Dragon Ball of bare butt would hardly be worth NSFWing, but yeah, the other Toriyama bit is probably something you'd wanna nsfw which is why I'm thankful for Duckroll tackling it before I could edit.

It's a joke based on past events in this community.

Maybe talking about Sword of the Stranger will prevent the thread from being purged.

So I have been keeping an eye on this for a while now, since the main visual had 2 design a liked a lot. So queue the first episode. First thing that pops, an awesome mid-1900s looking city(with huge tvs on top of building playing what looked like JAWS) and freakin awesome JAZZ playing throughout the whole episode.

Then we get our MC introduced and he looks great. Youthful energy, honest, logical and good designed. Works in delivery of all kinds.

While the MC is great, the rest of the character introduced looked cool.

Then we finally get a good look at the big selling point for me on this show! The mechs and the main one looks awesome! The way they summoned it made me think of Custom Robo haha. Very cool.

Great first episode! I always knew that I had a great eye for finding good shows.
 
Well this community is potentially doomed with Tsugumomo, depending on how closely they stick to adapting this god rays and steam won't be able to save us...

Pfft doubt it most of the people who'd do that are gone

You are all over Maid Dragon but didn't notice DTL posting a Creepy Lovers GIF some pages ago.

Also WHO the hell is John Wick?

Literally only DTL watches Super Lovers

By the way, has anyone watched the Tsugumomo artist's streams? The guy is seriously talented, and it sucks that the anime seems to be a cheap as shit cashin because the musculature/anatomy, fight choreography, and general artistic talent on display is top tier. It's almost like watching Murata work.

I hope there's at least some sakuga on display because jesus some of the fight scenes.
 
Dragon Maid 06

Uh, what?

This was my favorite show of the season and then... uh...

Is this indicative of the rest of the series or just a weird one-off thing? If its going to be this creepy from now on I probably will drop it. Loli yuri and shotacon are um... a bit much (and unexpected, wtf).
 
Picked Hunter x Hunter back up and I just got to the end of the Hunter Exam. I'm enjoying it so far but I don't know it just doesn't feel that special to me. I think the character designs are actually holding me back more than it should. I guess I need to see where the story goes after this.

I will say that the way the exam ends kind of shocked me.

Doubt it, but I dont remember if that was in the manga or not (shota stuff probably was)

If there is more you'll certainly hear about it

You're probably on the right track then, go until Yorknew

HxH is a slow buildup. The show really hits its stride about 30-40 episodes in and just keeps getting better and better.

So I guess the "but it looks great" excuse doesn't work this week, huh?

Sorry, I had to.

Someone else needs to watch Princess Nine and Panty & Stocking with me, lol.

I have like 7 episodes left and I still don't know what the fuck is going on, is the next episode info dumps because it looks like its heading that way
 
Hunter x Hunter Episode 131


640



Dear god this episode. That was just brutal (and awesome) but I don't really feel good after that. Gon's selfishness kills me. Killua is too good for Gon.

I wish this arc wasnt so badly written. How do you have the Best thing every in the series but so much bad writing around it. Best Killlua.
 
Is it even possible for Turn A to be topped when it comes to Gundam?

Yes because litrally every single gundam has a way better OP than that terrible OP 2 of Turn A. I just reached it yesterday and it is a real let down.

Also most of Turn A has been dull, it finally picked up once they got into space but Im not a fan of this iteration of nuclear weapons are bad plot. Seed/Destiny did the cursed weapons of mass destruction better.
 
Nagi no Asukara 21

Just started thus a few days and now on episode 21. This could be potentially be up there with my favorite anime of all time. Please don't disappoint me.

I like Turn-A a lot conceptually, and the soundtrack and art design are amazing. But overall as a series... I like 0080, G-Gundam, Wing, SEED, 00 S1, GBF, Thunderbolt and IBO more.

Brb, gonna arm my nukes.

I suppose to each their own. G-Gundam is special, and I love it, but I don't really think of it as Gundam, more of a super robot show in Gundam trappings. GBF was awesome too, but that's an awesome toy commercial to me rather than a Gundam series as well.

All I hear about IBO is that it's melodrama Okadashit, you'd really put it over Turn A? I mean, I haven't seen IBO but...

If you ask me which the most interesting Gundam series is, Turn-A would top the list. If you asked me which Gundam series I would want to watch again, or would recommend others to watch, Turn-A would not be very high on the list. Tomino shows are all more interesting to talk about after the fact than to actually watch, because he's a really bad director! :(

I actually watched the entirety of Turn A on the couch with a longtime Gundam fan who convinced me to watch it with him, and I hadn't seen it before but he had. It was a really fun experience, actually.

I know, opinions, but still, maybe it's because I had someone with me who watched it before that I enjoyed it more.

Im so sad Ray is retiring, her music really helped to make NagiAsu special
-Lull ~ earth color of a calm / lull ~Soshite Bokura ha~
-ebb and flow

were great for the anime.
 
It's like I post into the void.

"Yo, the dude does underage titfuck porn"
"This show is great, I- AGH STRAIGHT SHOTA AND BOOBS WITH NO WARNING"
"..."

Yeah, I would love for this show to do some justice to his art and the fights but to say I'm tempering my expectations is an understatement. I've sat in on him drawing and he is absolutely deliriously talented but two of those times he was also drawing a girl spreading her lips, if you follow, so...I kinda stopped tuning in.
