Have you watched anything neat on youtube or similar sites lately? Don't just link it, mention why you like it!
This is a re-enactment of the American Psycho dubs man scene with Weird Al and Huey Lewis. There's some very nice attention to detail and the humor is great. Somehow it's 7 years old and I never saw it.

This video was cool. It's interesting to see that performance gap between stone and wooden tools and metal tools isn't as big as media makes it out to be. There's also a surprising level of craftsmanship and technical knowledge going into making these tools, like spears using the trunk end of a tree as the main point as the wood there is harder, or knapping techniques to strike off the exact shapes they need.

What is your opinion on the kuudere archetype? I'm personally attracted to them because they're similar to myself. Kuuderes are a big 'gap moe' thing. The smile of someone who doesn't smile much means a lot more than the smile of someone who smiles all the time.

Many people don't seem to realize the last two ones are kuuderes too. I don't see many people discussing archetypes these days.

Probably looks different on a CRT. While it's not as important for retro anime as it is for retro games, CRT alter the color a bit in comparison. Otherwise you will see most retro shows appearing 'washed out' on a LCD without the CRT's stronger vibrant colors.

According to the happenings thread >>101080 , Ash's journey in Pokémon is finally ending. It's pretty impressive. He was doing it back when I was a kid, but here we are in 2022 and it's finally over.
It brings lots of thoughts to mind apart from nostalgia.

- I wish I was into Pokémon more. It's like the /mlp/ people on 4chan, there's a bunch of dorks involved, even around my age, that still keep the magic alive. Sure, there's a bunch of kids as there should be, but it's interesting to see older people around making references that only people of a certain age would get. It's hard to find good internet losers.

-Names. People on the English internet generally refer to him as Ash (like this thread) and the localization names for each Pokemon as well. Some names are the same, but many of them aren't. One of my favorite Pokémon is Bulbausaur and not Fushigidane. With the internet full of arguments over everything regards translations, it's strange how this never seems to crop up.

-Great games. I haven't played the most recent ones, but I've never played one I didn't love. I think the newer games allow you to see the Types so you didn't need to throw moves around randomly, which was really getting to be a problem when there are 1000 of them instead of 150.

-The games get a LOT of various ROMhacks. There's even that one Touhou one that's not a hack but a standalone game. Not just simple hacks, either, but very involved stuff and you could spend thousands of hours playing them all. I should look into them more and try some out.

-Pokégirls. I think everyone knows this, but this series has some of the best character designs around and has been consistent about it since its inception. The Asuka vs. Rei thing never seemed that interesting to me in comparison to the girls in Pokémon. Even the 'girl of the week' in the anime had more interesting people in them. Duplica the girl with the Ditto that couldn't transform its face sticks out to me. Brock getting a crush on every girl really made sense.

-Just a fantastic style in general. There are places like https://hirespokemon.tumblr.com/ where you can see the old concept art and it's truly beautiful. Sugimori is a true genius. Also apparently his name is used by people as a keyword to improve the qualityPost too long. Click here to view the full text.

File:Pokémon - 059 - The Misty ….png (395.8 KB,640x480)

The English dub voice actress of Misty/Jessie/Jigglypuff passed away and I'm feeling unexpectedly saddened by it. Her voices were really quite amazing. Cancer...
I think Misty awakened a lot of boys to puberty and I was one of them. The strong personality tomboy type that has occasional glimpses of femininity or vulnerability like her fear of Bug types is really endearing. I think Misty permanently influenced my preferences.
Dubs these days are terrible, but some of the older ones were really something special. It feels like just like American 2D animation itself is gone, American dubbing has fallen into the abyss.
But, this stuff will always be there. Well, as long as you download it.

i've seen dedicated drawthreads and writethreads here, but never once saw a music creation thread. considering you can post sound files here i wonder why it happens, because i did see several posters here said they made music. is it because many consider the stuffs they make have no merit to be posted? or because many have some musician profiles that they want no connection to this place...?
anyway, post some musics you made!

i think that it's simple and barebones on purpose inorder to teach concepts about producing, rather than the unique styles possible through it. these concepts will eventually serve as the backbone for diving deeper and specializing in the sound you want to create. when you get a good enough grasp on the tools you're working with, it's then time to transition into a more comprehensive studying of those sounds, chords, and structures which you enjoy, and figuring out how to not only reproduce them, but incorporate them into your unique style of producing. in my mind, he is the "dance music manual" for a modern audience.

to understand his approach, you have to remember a time when you'd open up a daw and feel completely helpless because you didn't know what anything did. i'm not saying his approach is the best, but i do see the value in it. you've practically graduated his class, and now all you need to do is move on so you can be one step closer to that bigger picture. keep pushing yourself to not only learn more, but do more, and you will eventually hit your stride and take pleasure in every step. nobody is a noob because there is no right way when it comes to creation. only the righteous capacity for self expression.

I'm glad the horror vibes were picked up on.
I usually don't go that subtle with them but I felt I needed to make the change after other people unrelated to here deemed the songs I did too "anxiety invoking" and "disturbing" but I can't help myself, at least some degree, have horror themes.

A clip got recommended to me on youtube and reminded me that I absolutely love this anime. In terms of the typical shoujo today despite its influence I'd say it still stands out, and Anno's influence on the presentation through his direction (before the budget kinda goes kaput like EVA near the end) is strikingly impactful in conveying the mood of each scene and allowing the highs to reach further than manga ever could. Miyazawa's probably still my favorite Shoujo protagonist of any romance series, her smarts and unbreakable character make her extremely endearing to watch as situations arise throughout her and Arima's school life as a result of their relationship. It's a great exploration of two quite different characters who take interest with and build each other up as they go about life and maturing.

So with that in mind I'm going to be streaming the first 10 episodes of KareKano April 6th, or next Sunday, at 7:00PM EST. Only the first 10 because I feel like that's the most crucial portion of the story that sets into motion everything else. The setup, main cast, and character relations for the most part are established after that and it's more digging deeper into them that we can stream maybe some other time if people want me to. Be sure you're there for it!

Oh, and on https://theatre.kissu.moe/kiss/yukkuri of course

I really think something that probably makes the style of KareKano so good, and more than that older and more standout anime in general. It's the experimentation with different styles without any assurance that it'll work or not. It's not following any layout for how you should animate, and that works towards its benefit because the director, Anno, knows how to be creative in the right way.

Trying to think of the last anime that I found to be pretty nice and experimental a bit in terms of animation. I think maybe Oshi no Ko could count for certain scenes, but in terms of having it be something pertaining to the whole, bocchi is probably more appropriate

 No.141673

>>141668
onk uses different styles in the same way that shonen does, for a whole scene or stretch and it does so with a lot of seriousness
bocchi is indeed closer to karekano in that it's a generally shorter and a lot more spread out, there's more instances of it throughout and with greater variation
nigewaka does have a fair bit of variety as well in its alternative styles

 No.141674

This is the kind of show I struggle to start watching on my own, but it was pretty good. Lots of funny faces between some genuinely good serious stuff. I can see why someone succeeded in forcing it on [s4s].

I guess it depends on the tree and how well maintained your axe is. Something like pine is easier vs a hardwood tree.

I do some very basic exercises every week like bicep curls, it's just some lazy 'maintenance', and I normally can only do about 10-12 until the muscle exhaustion hits. This time I was able to to 17, and I know it's because I've been doing garden work.
You can't compete with real manual labor and its large range of movement utilizing different muscle fibers when it comes to building strength. Exercises can mimic it, and it's true you can use different positions and poses, but it's still an artificial thing.

Going to Japan this summer, and I really want to avoid sticking out as some obnoxious foreigner. I was wondering if there's any helpful tips for how to conduct oneself or what'd really stick out to wear around so I can avoid packing it. It seems like a country that's pretty tolerant so it's not like I'll get beat up for just being a normal tourist, but I also don't want to come off as some unkempt freak who gets judged everywhere I go. To maximize my enjoyment of the trip I've been looking to find out what is and isn't acceptable and what's social faux pas or things to avoid.

For example, I was reading up on Japanese law recently and learned that under Act No. 52 of 1999 it's actually illegal to buy JCs off the streets. Which is just an important reminder to /qajp/ that you should always check the laws of where you're going to!
