Nay-Roo-Toe.

 

[Grexeno]

is this the last episode of canon for a while

this is important

i need to know if I need to update the op afterwards

Next week. After that there's one episode of canon and like 24 of filler.

 

[Xe4]

A little confusing and surreal but I thought that was good Lupin



I mean sure but unless your specific aim is to make material for as broad an audience as possible (which isn't what all animators or execs want to create) then I don't know how "break" the cycle. You can and should criticize art but you can't make them not do things they want to do.

You put pressure on the producers and consumers of anime to let them know it's not acceptable in this day and age. It's not that simple, obviously, but it's definitely not acceptable the way most anime treats women characters.

It's getting better, mostly from outside pressures and change in the industry.

I think an Opening was supposed to be there.

Is any of this Filler Hell at least decent?

 

[Morlas]

Poor pervy sage, his students are blockheads with huge emotional chips on their soldiers

 

[cntr]

Oh yeah, almost forgot.

Have some DEVO and Santviento.

 

[BBboy20]

AGH

 

[Grexeno]

Is any of this Filler Hell at least decent?

I dunno. History would say nope.

 

[Ray Down]

My answer is, I have no answer, just going to follow some perv.

 

[Seda]

his answer is literally, verbally "I BELIEVE IN PERVY SAGE"

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

I could really go for sushi tomorrow.

 

[Grexeno]

I AM NOW SHOCKED FOR ARBITRARY REASONS

 

[PapaGreg95]

"If there is peace in this world I'm going to find it, but we are still going to have ninjas thought"

 

[Morlas]

Nagato is right, total peace isn't attainable without taking away free will....i don't know what else to say

 

[ckohler]

The greatest man ever....
PERVY SAGE

 

[Ray Down]

"If there is peace in this world I'm going to find it, but we are still going to have ninjas thought"

Got to keep the franchise premise going.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

And tapping out here.

Enjoy the rest of the night, folks.

Honestly, it hasn't. There's still a ton of creepy anime, and good series still get fanservicized.

I honestly don't think anything will change until the anime industry collapses. It's essentially a niche self-contained market in Japan, they can ignore a lot of outside pressure.

 

[Moaradin]

...Nah, I rather sleep. Later.

 

[PapaGreg95]

Nagato is right, total peace isn't attainable without taking away free will....i don't know what else to say

Yeah Kishi kinda coped out with that answer

 

[Hellwarden]

"I've been thinking about all the hate in the world."

Geez kid, can't you just play your gameboy?

 

[Grexeno]

Honestly, it hasn't. There's still a ton of creepy anime, and good series still get fanservicized.

I honestly don't think anything will change until the anime industry collapses.

Perhaps large Western companies like Netflix and Amazon getting more involved in the industry will lead to some change.

 

[Ray Down]

Yeah Kishi kinda coped out with that answer

All the more reason shonen writers shouldn't tackle that stuff.

"I hope we meet later on"....and they murder the shit out of him.

 

[PapaGreg95]

Jaiyra: I'm going to leave you kids alone in a war torn land, have fun.

 

[Morlas]

Jiraiya is such a great dude though....wish he was my teacher

 

[zedreamcast]

"I hope we can meet again some day"
I wonder why (eyes emoji)

 

[RagnarokX]

Nagato is right, total peace isn't attainable without taking away free will....i don't know what else to say

Well free will isn't real anyway. Change the circumstances people live in and it changes the choices they make.

 

[Hellwarden]

"You three have really grown up."

They look like they're 12.

 

[Seda]

Nagato is right, total peace isn't attainable without taking away free will....i don't know what else to say

Definitely typical JRPG villain logic. It usually falls into a category like <sterilize the world> or <kill all humans> or <turn them into automatons>

I mean, in my opinion it has gotten better. That's the sad thing. It was so bad before the horrible place it is now is an improvement.

I'm basing this on the increased number of shows that actually treat women like people and don't divulge in a crazy amount of fan service. It's still a shockingly small amount of anime, but it's better than it was in, say, the 90's.

I haven't done any studies or anything.

 

[Grexeno]

That dude has a question mark on his headband.

 

[Ray Down]

Well that old enough to be a genin in the leaf.

 

[cntr]

That's basically just outsourced animation. And it wouldn't change the fact that the mainstream Japanese market is not interested in anime, while the otaku market is and is willing to shell out big bucks for it.

 

[Seda]

LOL they went back to that line why

 

[Ultratech]

Was the ? on his headband on purpose?

 

[zedreamcast]

Ah yes...the question village.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

That line...

 

[Schadenfreude]

Boo, sir. Boo! That was lame

 

[ckohler]

That dude has a question mark on his headband.

He’s from the Riddler Villiage

 

[Morlas]

my name is Pein

 

[Grexeno]

He’s from the Riddler Villiage

He's from the Limit of Questions

 

[PapaGreg95]

You guys ever think Ninjustsu or Genjustsu have some uses other than combat

 

[Ray Down]

My name is Edge.

 

[blitzwolf215]

Ah yes...the question village.

The village hidden in riddles.

 

[Dr. Chaotix]

You hear that guys? Ninjas are awful and the world they live in is cursed.

COME BE A PIRATE! WE'VE GOT FLYING SHIPS AND ISLANDS MADE OF CANDY! FUCK DA POLICE! WHOOO!

That's more reflective of Japanese society changing in general, but note that most of that's isolated to things like Super -- i.e., stuff that appeals to the Japanese mainstream, not the anime niche. The majority of anime hasn't improved at all.

 

[Seda]

this is bad

 

[PapaGreg95]

COME BE A PIRATE! WE'VE GOT FLYING SHIPS AND ISLANDS MADE OF CANDY! FUCK DA POLICE! WHOOO!

Or be a hero we got cute frog girls

 

[BBboy20]
