I'm a fightscenefag (the more homoerotic the better) and do like imagining how a fight between two characters would be like but the usual endless fanboy discussion of 'no but Goku is stronger' is just boring. I'd rather discuss what the scene could be like and how it would arrive at the outcome, or different outcomes depending on who wins.

There's always the psychological warfare of grinding your boner against your opponent and licking his ear and other gay shit that men often fail to consider in power rankings. Who would gay chicken their way to a win, you know?

I've lurked there for an embarrassing amount of time (I mean close to 10 years), and I still do. Never made an account because I have nothing to contribute, and I especially don't want to make one now because of how weird the users are. It's a shame because I like a lot of their threads in theory, but the majority of their users feel like cows themselves now.

>either the userbase got more obnoxious
I'm pretty confident it's this one. A lot of the older accounts that I recognize from a long time ago still have occasionally normal opinions. However, it really sours the mood when someone derails the entire thread to talk about something irrelevant. As a Fujochan-adjacent example, in the thread about that loli vtuber who recently got doxed, one guy brought up how she's probably a fujo (this came out of nowhere because most of the stuff she has watched on MAL has been more loli anime-related), and then there was an entire derail about how she gives off the vibe of being one. There's more than enough shit to talk about, so I don't understand why some users feel the need to write fanfiction about cows.

Minor spoilers The protagonist explicitly states that he has romantic feelings for the other character within the story itself, so the subtext becomes literal text. I'd spent the majority of the book under the impression I was being Fujobrained about it, since I'd gone into it thinking it was just a horror novel, so it was kind of surprising lol. I do not know if the author has elaborated further in any interviews, as I have not yet looked that deeply into it. It is, of course, a horror story, so I wouldn't anticipate things necessarily ending WELL for the characters, but the romantic feelings are acknowledged by the protagonist himself. It was just a pleasant surprise after spending so much of the book like, "god damn, this man is obsessed. In competent hands, this would be a romantic obsession because there's literally no heterosexual explanation for this."

I have an awkward relationship with horror. I love all sorts of scary stories and psychological horror but I can be rather squeamish with gore so I don't watch horror movies or play horror games for the most part. Actually as far as games go I can't really handle being chased and jumpscared in a game either. I can deal with drawn gore better but it all just depends.

Nta, thank you for the rec. I'm also a LLC enjoyer and wanted to find stories like it.

basset hounds!

I have so many!

>the whole thing is presented in a way commonly seen as "masculine" with a focus on big breasts and fetishistic elements like high-heels, short skirts and pantyhose.
This is such a weird, unnecessarily gendered notion. If I am attracted to women, of course I'm going to like all that. The more saucy the better.

>>9432
Oh trust me I agree 100% with you. This manga's success overwhelmingly with women is a huge "told you so" moment for me.

>>9418
I hate office love as a genre to begin with so it's not for me personally, but I can see why women would like it more than men because for one thing the women look like adults and have short hair. Two things that otaku men find absolutely reprehensible.

I've been a MikiShin fan ever since hearing him in YamiMatsu and I was so pleased to get another lively character from him again. There was a rough patch where he ended up doing perverts and LN adaptations in the 2010s, but lately his schedule seems to prioritize comedy and especially originals. I don't know what it is about his voice, he and Onosaka Masaya have a certain twang that's great. Wish there were more tired immortals for him to mumble and purr on though.

Gotta stop lying to myself and admit that Night Head is on hold for a bit at this point.

>Sengoku Basara/Sengoku Basara Ni
Super over the top and very fun because of it, and Date's engrish is 10/10. Not sure when/if I'll get around to the movie + Gauken Basara but I'm pretty confident I'll enjoy them when I do.

>Revenger
Had a blast with this. It just clicked for me really quickly and I had a great time. Enjoyed all of the main cast, the fights were fun, liked the plot, just a solid experience all around imo. I wish I had watched it back when it first aired because I'd see it here and there on /a/, but it is funny looking through the archives now and seeing all the unhinged screeching about "fujoshit" though, kek. Kurima IS majorly cute, though, and I really liked his interactions with Souji.

>Aldnoah.Zero
It's interesting, I was able to get seven episodes in before I was just… struck by the desire to stop. It's not that surprising though, the whole time I was watching I was just barely lukewarm to everything. The Martians were so cartoonishly dickish, but not even in an especially fun way. Just flat, and I wasn't super invested in any other characters in the show, either. I did like the protag's sister, Yuki, well enough + the doctor if nothing else. I have no idea when I'll get back to it because it feels weird to drop it with only 5 eps left but yeah, very low priority watch for sure.

I'll probably step away from backlog/impulse watches for a bit because I gotta catch up on some of the things I picked up this season.

Ah, the A.Z shitstorms over the first cour… And then even bigger shitstorms when the second one started. And an apocalypse of butthurt when it ended.

I don't play Epic Seven anymore, but lately I've been tuning into some streams just to see how the game has changed, and man, what the fuck happened? I remember when certain units used to dominate for years despite counters being released and new ML5s. Now it seems like new ML5s will constantly get overshadowed in just a few months.

For me, the game started going downhill around Conqueror Lilias's release, alongside shit like Aravi's buff and Hwayoung. Instead of nerfing units, they kept trying to release counters, which led to even more oppressive units (Ran, Peira), or units that are dogshit outside of a specific niche (Taeyou, Yulha). Ironically, they ended up having to nerf Hwayoung, but they would never nerf a ML5 because of the shitstorm that would happen.

The game was really fun at release and I actually enjoyed the lore and worldbuilding, but now it's obvious they're leaning hard into the PvP and P2W aspect. I probably wouldn't have quit if the PvE aspect was still good, but it just became tedious grinding and autoing. I miss doing early Abyss stages with 3 stars and going through the labyrinth trying to get the shitty Attack set gear for my Vildred kek.

I played Epic Seven for a couple of months a long time ago, but I couldn't quite get into it. My favorite characters I rolled for were Ervalen, Krau, and Ludwig. It's sad to hear it's no longer F2P-friendly. The plot's premise seemed really interesting.

The UI was a little cluttered, and I couldn't quite get into the story, sadly, but there were a lot of lovely designs. Even the MC was pretty cute. I heard the story gets better later, but I just wasn't feeling it.

>>9653
Great taste nona, Ludwig and Beehoo and my favs.

I do think it's still possible to play without paying since the biggest hurdle is gear RNG, but the last few ML5s have been more meta-defining than usual and there isn't as much time between powercrept units. It makes saving pulls harder.
But they did just make a huge UI update and redid most of the new and returning player bonuses, so there's that.

I'll still use 4chan but I intend to stick around.

>>9643
I use both so win win for me

>>9640
Imma be honest, I think they learned nothing from this and will get attacked again. The fact that mods and janitors are deleting any mention of the event as well as posts insulting them, it just tells me they haven't changed one bit.
