The scorching heat of
summer has arrived and it's time for a new round of shows to distract us from our bodies melting!
https://www.livechart.me/summer-2024/tvhttps://anilist.co/search/anime?season=SUMMERWhat are you going to watch?
Will Oshi no Ko give Kana official main character status as she deserves? Is the time of /qa/ belly anime finally here? Will the fansubs of Dedede save us from mediocrity?

>>133127Good feet actually. The details on the tops of the feet and the ankles are well executed. Toes are pretty good too and I like the tendons leading up to them, it's not something that many people draw. Wrinkly sole is the main detractor in my eyes. That combined with the angular lines makes them look like a bag that's had some of the fluid sucked out of it. Makes them look kinda mannish. But for some reason I like them more than that description'd make you think. I like it when feet inexplicably outperform the linear regression model that exists in my head of foot characteristics vs quality.

>>133127On a macro level I think the ones on the bottom are good but I think the line work is too rough and sharp and that makes many details of the feet look rough and sharp, like the wrinkles
>>133135 mentioned.
The ones at the top are fine though.

>>133357I wouldn't mind seeing Yuki and her onii-chan compete, but Alya is just so fucking boring that my eyes glaze over whenever she's involved.
No.133374
>>133363Exactly. She has no right competing for seitokaichou's seat, she's just a tard that sometimes speaks russian. The current kaichou completely changed himself to get to where he is (albeit to get a girl, but the determination is still there), all through hard work. Yuki is a good candidate for kaichou because of who she innately is in the anime, but russia girl? a tsun-tard.
Her speech of "I am very determined, I am hard working, bla bla bla" sounded like utter bullcrap. I don't for a second believe the student body felt any compassion for her with that being her speech. She has nothing to show to support that. Maybe if you have to tell them about it, you're not actually doing anything to show for it. All of those characteristics are "show, not tell", all that speech should have done for her was paint her as someone who's all bark no bite, making it harder for her to compete in the election. But she was well received for some reason? Then there's MC who makes a couple jokes (?), announces her "rivals" are going to be in the saitokai? and the crowd goes wild? What?
Not to mention the broadcast with Yuki thing. Russia girl could have easily just rejected the offer. The conversation was actually retarded:
Yuki: "Come as a guest!"
"no! you're planning to shame me in front of the entire school arent you!"
Yuki: "No I'm not!"
"Oh, ok then"
Yuki: "Actually, YES I AM!!"
"..."
and she still goes to the fucking radio show? Good thing it only ended with Yuki making her feel bad for her. She could have easily destroyed little miss I speak "russia and no one says anything about it". She should've at most been a support character with the actual show revolving around the siblings, that or she's just the gag girl that deres in russiago with no "I want to be seitokaichou because... because!". She really ruined the anime. Or, they really ruined the anime with her. Or, they really ruined the anime by making her what she is. I don't know, just the anime was ruined.

I am looking for hidden gems but also not hidden gems as I do not participate in anime discussions so I don't know what is popular.

>>133428why didnt /qa/ like the /qa/ anime?
No.133432
>>133430Well, it did have a thread unlike most shows ( >>>/jp/77952 ), but I think it's just hard to talk about. Well, for me it's hard to talk about anime in general, other than "Whoa that was cool!" and stuff.
It's a show I'd recommend for sure if people like a show about people stuck in a video game world that is taken somewhat seriously with some horror-like elements in it.

you could easily discuss Haga's character since it's pretty interetesting. But you might wind up discussing poltics by doing that

also you could discuss how it makes an isekai into a cosmic horror genre

The old spice and wolf skipped vol.4 and went to 5. Glad they did something not yet adapted. Hoping they continue to 24

>>133430As the /qa/ QA, it's because it's kinda, sorta, fairly bad.
It's terrible at developing its plot, with sloppy endings, things being regularly dropped, and no long-term storylines, while the amount of character development somewhere between 0 and -1.
Take the mangaka fluffer and his waifu: she's killed by the sadistic crew, and that motivates him to take revenge. Once his revenge is fulfilled, he ends up reviving her, but she has no memory of him and their relationship stays dead. What for? Now he no longer has any goals of his own. His character hasn't really developed, rather it has
lost something, so he can aimlessly remain in the party without any regrets. Oh, and the manga subplot dies along her.
>>133434>>133435Haga isn't so much a commissar as he is an automaton. You could genuinely switch him with a robot with basic empathy functions and the plot would not change, because he always puts bugs over the well being of others and his actions are never truly contested. When the elf is forced to use the kill command to dispose of Gaydle and Haga once more objects to it, there isn't any sort of re-examining of his beliefs. No "well maybe I was wrong and sometimes cheats are necessary", they just move on and it's never brought up again. When they're trapped in the dungeon and stay stuck in that claustrophic death trap devoid of sunlight for a whole year, they off-handedly comment "we would've gotten out of there much more quickly if it weren't for Haga's debugging" as if that wouldn't stress the hell out of people. All the while the villain succeeds at carrying out their evil plan. Well, too bad, right? Now even more players are dead, guess we'll just move on again after a bit of grieving.

>>133541>No "well maybe I was wrong and sometimes cheats are necessary", That's just you injecting your own opinion... The part that's interesting is his borderline sociopathic commitment to his job and how he is terrified of debug mode because it is part of the rules and how you can brick yourself.

Like I don't doubt the plot is weak, but it's a series about constructing atmospheres and it's just sad that you would essay it without understanding that
No.133545
>>133542It's not my opinion, it's the reality of the job. And I can't say it's interesting if it never develops and is never challenged.

>>133820Thank you, I ended up not doing something else today so I kept watching it. I had seen up to and including episode 7 before and intended to finish it today, but didn't realise it had 25 episodes - I only had up to 11 downloaded. It's really good and I like this sort of setting and theme. I should finish reading Higurashi and Island as well.
