anime

I did not actively read a ton, but I think my reading comprehension speed is pretty high, I think reading a lot early can help improve whatever your natural ability for that is though

yea its probably more of an early thing as well

a childhood ruined by reading japanese fiction written by like 17 year old japanese kids

Statements like this always make me laugh because I keep forgetting a lot of you are a half generation below me

phones became a major thing around grade 11/12 for me

people in middleschool HAD hpones, but it wasnt really acepted to just have it on you always or in class

until highschool

grades 3-7 i just read shitty... western stories... then 8th grade we got laptops so i just read web novels and light novels until i learned of tachiyomi in like 10th grade and have been reading manga nonstop the past like 6-7 years

I got my cellphone in grade 12 because my mom wanted me to have one since I had to travel a bit to get to university

I left it in my locker

I was a late adopter though

manga also made me basically just drop anime all together out of disinterest of everything being an adpatation

but im also starting to find/consider most manga as of recent pretty shit, which i thought was me just being cynical and picky but seeing how literally everything keeps getting axed after like 10~ chapters

i dont think im wrong

or they start off really good and then 1-2 arcs later became actually dogshit

(((frieren))))

Frieren anime is still pretty good

it drops off hard

current arc is not as good as the starting one though

yes it will continue like that

they are doing the magic certification arc atm

action is not what makes frierern good

suprising!!!

I think the anime benifits from the fact that it is extremely well animated

the fact theres

two absolute GOATs

of animation

the clothing autist is pretty nutty

Yeah the clothing is insane

i can appreciate good animation but i will always prefer a well drawn stunning two page panel to a good looking animated scene

but it hink thats more my preference thana nything

I will not relitigate this, but yeah, obviously thats a preference thing

for me the big difference maker is usually OST

made in abyss is a good example of that

OST is definitely one of the main reasons I prefer anime to written work

absolutely incredible art in the manga, mogs the anime in every single capacity but the animes OST is pretty nutty

which validates its existence

I think the anime looks pretty good too

its not like the art is bad

its not bad

and also probably a pedophile

I think it is physically impossible to have the same level of detail as a still image for an animation consistantly for the entire thing

there is not enough time and funding to justify doing it

movies do it

that takes an astronomical budget hwoever

Some movies do it

I think the made in abyss anime looks about as good as many anime movies

there are obviously the super "this is a masterclass in art" movies that mog everything

but I think most movies are not much more impressive than top tier anime art wise

yeah like gravity girl movie

That could be multiple different movies

the

mvoie we watched

the two I've seen is the upside down one and bubble

okay upside down

upside dcown

one

yea

i named the worst anime movie i could think of

That movie fucking sucked

nah the twist thoug

!

Anyways I think more movies are close to that movie than they are to the top tier movies

not that I have seen most anime movies. I do not watch the normie romance movies that get released with pretty art 1-2 times a year

i think

most of the really old anime movies

look better than most modern ones bar a few high budget ones

The hand drawn ones that were high budget at the time look insane

yes

absolutely

I've not seen anything more than clips for those though

oldest movie I've seen is princess and the pilot

which is 2011

the best way to introduce yourself

Shangri-la is the battle shonen frieren wishes it could be

the genericest of all

7th Loop had some funny moments this week
