>I hope the management finally will see how well the show sells even after a year, and stop downplaying numbers, because clearly they are scared to not sell.
Why hasn't the sequel been announced still…

>>4011
Because it takes time. Bravern took 4 years to be produced, even being greenlighted without doing a public announcement, it will take the same amount of time (or less, depends by the budget).
Usually shows that get an instant announcement for a S2 or sequels are adaptations, not original shows.
Anyway, I feel they might go for a theater cut of the show or a movie, seems like Obari mentioned that few times, both ironically and not.

I also want the two seiyuu to do more songs together, like for the ED.

>>4024
Yeah, but I don't even mean announcing the release date, just the fact it's greenlit.

>Usually shows that get an instant announcement for a S2 or sequels are adaptations, not original shows.
Yuri on Ice! got the movie announcement a year after it finished airing.

>Anyway, I feel they might go for a theater cut of the show or a movie, seems like Obari mentioned that few times, both ironically and not.
That would be disappointing, even if they added extra scenes.

Lol wtf

Forgot this place had an isekai thread, thought I might as well use it for this.
After reading the web novel for pic related, I've been interested in finding another one that does the "brainwashing harem" aspect. I liked pic related, but it seems like it's going to take a while for the hammer to really drop. I really enjoyed the reveal that the mc was losing his mind and sleepwalking/self harming but I do sorta wish it was foreshadowed a bit more beforehand.
S-Class that I raised sort of does it too, but it's pretty light isn't it?

>>3213
Yeah I am a bit worried because I feel like it needs more time. Like 15 chapters at least? But I will wait and see. It seems like he knows what he's doing.

>>3168
>It's also one of the very rare cases where I think that the anime is exactly as good as the manga or even slightly better.
I agree. The anime has better pacing than the manga, and the manga's attempts at comedy are just terrible

>>3646
Let's go! I hope it's like Twin Snakes where everything is cranked up to eleven, watching them handle the scene where Ocelot meows is going to be great.

>>3647
Mgs3 ocelot is the cu te est!
I am a bit worried though because it’s a “remake” instead of a “remaster”…. I hope they’ll keep oce as pathetic as he was in the original

>>3657
To my knowledge the game is not being redubbed/re-voiced so hopefully everything is as it should be!

Do any other anons still play this game? The new world is coming out soon, hopefully there'll be some good fujobait.

I'm not going to torture myself with those awful missions or that dumb deer. Oh well, once again, no Lightning because I refuse to touch Sevral.

A real shame, I genuinely enjoyed him as a guest character during the trailblaze mission where he joins. Lightning feels like a legitimate requirement for some encounters and Moze simply doesn't work being single target only.

I wonder if they'll shape Phainon up to be like Firefly (in regards to MC shipping/self-inserting aspects, not just meta). Even with barely anything right now it's doing more for me than DanCae though I'm barely interested in HSR shipping in general honestly.

>>3510
I don't have any Lightning DPSes either, I've been coping through the game with only my JL and FF kek, can still clear endgame content well though.

>>3373
I'm a Yamatsukkifag so maybe a bit unorthodox but I like Norio's doujin for fluffy stuff

Thanks!

I’ve never watched an anime with so many smug boys, it’s ridiculous.

Inuyasha. Everyone I knew preferred Sesshomaru, but Inuyasha is a perfect mix of hot and cute. I still love him, just not obsessed with him like I was when I was younger.

Strange Klug from Puyo Puyo. I pirated Puyo 20th around when it came out in 2011 and fell in love with him. I think this guy is the reason why I have a huge thing for evil pretty boys with glasses, and dark personas. He gave me a huge thing for selfcest too, now do I think about it, kek.

He still holds a special place in my heart, but I'm incredibly embarrassed to admit to others that he was my first husbando because of how the Puyo fans tend to be nowadays.

>>3524
Nice! Klug is my fav character so naturally Strange Klug psedo-selfcest is one of the best pairings in the franchise. It's a shame the plots involving Klug and Sig's demons got dropped post PP7 it's arguably the most interesting SEGA era Puyo plot. I guess this is the trade off for having the newer entries officially translated into English.

>Is there a way to find old Japanese fanart from before Pixiv was born?
Yes! I used to do this all the time in my fandom and just started again. One way is to google character name + series name or ship names in Japanese. A lot of fansites are hidden from search engines but not all of them. Alternatively, you can see if people link their personal sites from their pixiv, twitter, twpf, doujinshi, etc. You might have better luck looking at older fanart first.

Once you find one site, you should be in. Usually they link a bunch of other art/fic sites and also some webrings and directories. Most of these are monofandom but there are some more general ones. I have this extension so you can right click any link and have it search the internet archive: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/resurrect-pages/. There have been tons of Japanese hosts and a lot of them have been nuked over the years. Archive coverage is spotty and glitchy and you will suffer though.

I was able to find this and it should be a good start: https://web.archive.org/web/20131019151146/http://murai.tk/yomi.cgi?mode=kt&kt=01_01. It looks like the site breaks and starts redirecting in a loop around 2015.

>>3447
Thanks!

This is very useful, thanks nona.

I've actually really gotten into exploring the old and small web lately.

>Favorite series?
I don't know, I like some series more than others but I don't have a favorite one. I like Tokyo Babylon and X a lot, my first manga from them were CCS and Clamp Detective School, I also started XXXholic when it started in my country, so a long time ago, but never finished it because I simply didn't think about reading scans online but didn't have enough time to go borrow the rest of the volumes in the library. I really wish Legal Drug and Drug & Drop was completed because it had potential but it's in hiatus hell right now. I also need to finish reading Magic Knight Rayearth someday, before the new anime starts. I think overall I like their more edgy series but I like that they have a lot of different stories. I remember reading Kobato but I don't remember anything about it besides the dog screaming at the MC all the time and I disliked Chobits so I never finished it.

>Favorite pairing?
The one you posted was one of my first gay OTP when I was a very young kid, then there's Seishiro/Subaru and Fuuma/Kamui. This one is a straight pairing but Shaoran/Sakura is getting on my nerves. I like it a lot in CCS since forever but knowing that Clamp is so obsessed with them they brought them back for Tsubasa and for a CCS sequel while neglecting other series on hiatus makes me boycott these two manga until we get a proper conclusion for X.

Anyway, I'm going to give XXXholic another try once I finish reading Golden Kamui, and then I'll start Clover. By the way, I need to confess but their recent art style isn't my cup of tea, I miss their art style from the 90s and early 2000s. Pic related.

>>3409
>Favorite series?
X
>Favorite pairing?
Fuuma x Kamui
Subaru x Seishirou

Still waiting on them to break free of Cardfight Vanguard and work on new stuff.

>Favorite Series
I like them all really, but Tokyo Babylon has a special place in my heart being one of the series that got me into manga.
>Favorite Pairing
Doumeki/Watanuki

>>3411
Did you ever read Reservoir Chronicles? I'd highly suggest checking out both xxxholic and it. I know you said you hate Shaoran/Sakura but it crosses over with xxxholic and also has the great pairing of Fai/Kurogane.

I used to read and love the manga back when anime was hard to access. I recall looking for some yaoi at the time, but found nothing. And when there was stuff, it didn't play into my topping preferences.

Thankfully, there seems to have been an explosion of stuff where Ranma ends up on the bottom, often under Ryoga. Based.

>Best Boy?
Ranma. I like how he's got more drive and slyness than the 'average romcom protagonist', Takahashi's boys always have some traits that make them seem more fun to play with, than just being a het love interest.

>Best Ship?
Currently rewatching, and being way more into Kuno/Ranma than expected, the height gap and Kuno's cool, yet devoted personality is very cute against Ranma's comparative hot-headedness. That said, Ryoga/Ranma seems to be the longstanding OTP.

>Does Ranma top or bottom?
Bottom. He's got the sly devil personality, which is hottest when taking it, imo, although I can see why people would enjoy him topping Ryoga.

>Does Ranma-chan's existence play into it somehow (as a plot device), or is it only male Ranma who matters?

I like the idea of Kuno finding out that the pig-tailed girl is actually his romantic rival, still being in love with Ranma-chan, then starting to notice that male Ranma has the same cute traits as Ranma-chan, then growing protective over male Ranma and having a gay crisis over it.

>>3306
thank you for the ranma thread op
>best boy
Kuno.

>best ship
when it comes to ships really I like anything but the main romance, which is the case for most Takahashi works, i'd say ryoga and ranma would be right up my ally if it weren't for the fact that Ryoga is way too emotional, and I like ship combinations where one party is less emotional than the other, so Kuno and Ranma.

>Does Ranma top or bottom?
bottom

>>Does Ranma-chan's existence play into it somehow (as a plot device), or is it only male Ranma who matters?

Same as anon above, I think it would be also fun to joke with the idea that Kuno actually likes Ranma as a boy too, but he obviously dismisses the thought immediately because of his stubbornness

Is anyone watching the remake? How does it compare?

Currently watching the old anime, and it's far more yaoi than it was remembered as. The low amount of fanfic hurts.
