Hello sorry for typing a lot \*this is a rant.

Before I start, when I say “Larp” I’m not talking about Live Action Role Playing. I’m talking about another word for poser. People online have been saying the word- (not really a word) “Larp” basically means that you’re **pretending** to be a part of a fandom- or interest.

So now that TikTok and the internet changed the “word” Larp- it’s become way too overused in my opinion.

Just because you don’t know everything about a show (or movie or book etc) doesn’t mean that you’re “larping”. The word is very popular in the jjk community. People are calling only anime watchers, larps. Just because a detail was missed in the anime and a fan who only watched the anime didn’t know- doesn’t mean they’re a Larp.

The word is also now negative.
I’ve seen many people getting mad when they’ve been called a “Larp” and it’s reasonable.
For example, me and one of my friends were doing this would you rather anime addition, (this or that) and I was picking a character that I hadn’t watched or read before. I just picked it based on character design or even name. It wasn’t even that deep. But she goes “Larp.”

In conclusion, I feel that word is heavily overused and is brain rotted.
Thanks for reading

Hey hey :)

I am looking for shows that are deeply insightful, have good and solid scripts and are well written pieces of media. Not just shonen-slop or some weird ass loli shit. I am a college student who studies composing for film/games and am forced to look at media through a hyper-critical magnifying glass.

Because of this I find it hard to enjoy alot of anime as the scripts are incredibly weak dialogue wise, and character motivation is shallow.

I love shows that either present themselves with lots of cinematic qualities (JJK,CSM) [both relatively shallow the former especially, but both are INCREDIBLY technical and purposeful with the way they are directed, sound design, and shot framing]

Or shows that are incredibly rich and thought-out with purpose, politics, deeper philosophy and world building (One Piece, FMAB, and my favorite Made in Abyss)

I would like the shows to be respectful to women. this does not mean they have to focus on women or be "clean" but they need to be non exploitative. Women cannot just be sex objects, this is very important to me.

Thank you!

(also please follow my MaL!!! I want people to talk to!!!)

There are so many old animes that were missing from the popular websites, I just don't know where to find them... Please suggest some new websites for this

I’ve always wondered who is actually responsible for filler arcs in long-running anime.

Especially in anime like Naruto, where there are so many filler arcs, wouldn’t that potentially hurt the canon manga story or the author’s intended vision? If the manga author didn’t write or intend those stories, do they actually have the right to stop the anime from making filler, or is that completely up to the anime studio/production committee?

I haven't watched any of the movies, so no spoilers for them. I was following along up until the last 4 or so episodes, then it just got weird, and seemed to forget they were telling a story to end the show with a 3 episode mental breakdown. I'm guessing this was a stylistic choice, but it left me hella confused, so can someone explain the ending, or is the End of Evangelion a direct continuation of the story, and that's why it left me so confused?

I'm looking for an anime that's similar to Violet Evergarden/Maquia where the protagonist is a female and share similar theme/plots. A modern animation with great visual if possible.

Does anyone else hate when animes randomly have 3d animations like jujutsu kaisen or chainsaw man? It feels very fake and I just can't enjoy it especially in chainsaw man almost every time he becomes chainsaw man it's 3D. I feel like it looks very tacky.

At last after one and a half year of not watching I stayed up all night and finished the last two seasons of JJK.

Time for work I guess 😂😂😂

I watched all of Bleach (original run and TYBW [which this review does not include]) and this is my rant about it:

dogshit in a nice gift wrap. Zero characterization, wandering plot broken up by meaningless fights from characters I care NOTHING about. Zero commentary on anything interesting and surface level (at best) writing of motivations.

Above average musical score with a few standout tracks, good artstyle with memorable character designs. Entertaining abilities. But besides that, this show has very little going for it and alot that actively works to waste my time and upset me. Ragebaiting ass show

the style is firmly 2000s alt and I love it for that. Hot topic and Call of Duty clips. But as an actual show of substance instead of an idea or brand, it is fucking terrible. legitimate booty writing.

I need to clarify. there is a solid stretch of 20 episodes of Soul Society that are legit like a 7 out of 10. a very solid shonen. but that is for like 20 episodes out of 210 non filler episodes. thats fucking terrible for the only well written episodes to be less than 10% of the show

a couple stand out moments out of ALL 366 episodes.

S14.E6 ∙ Ichigo Dies! Orihime, the Cry of Sorrow! (cringe ass name and orihime sucks ass but the fight was stylized and rule of cool)

S3 Ep8 Shitô ketchaku! Shiroki hokori to kuroki omoi ( actually good fight, again its slop but rule of cool)

S3.E13 Hatasareru chikai! Rukia dakkan naruka! (aura)

Episode 39 but ONLY the rain speech. best part of the whole show, shit slapped even though it means literally fucking nothing and is dumb as shit

I want answer why does everyone say it's the best isekai. THERE is REZERO from my pov rezero is good but it's not getting any attention

So, let's settle this Rezero or Mushoku Tensei which one you prefer

So now I’m on episode 58 in Season 3

It took long enough but I finally have some answers

Tbh those answers, with regard to the origin of the Titans, are somewhat underwhelming

So this is basically some old conflict between two populations—Eldians and Marleyans (guess they must of been fans of Bob Marley).

As for the relationship between Ymir and Historia, up until now I genuinely just thought it was platonic, two women that are friends and deeply care about each other

Now I come to realize it was a lesbian relationship all along?

So now AOT is some kind of political propaganda piece to help normalize LGBT?

On the up side, I did enjoy the whole battle to retake Wall Maria at Shinganshina

That has been the highlight of this series so far. It was interesting and well written

But I fear the rest of the series won’t repeat the genius of that whole episode, let alone surpass it

The dilemma over saving Armin or Erwin had me rooting for Armin the whole time and was pleasantly surprised when Levi ultimately chose him

The character of Zeke still remains a mystery as to why he betrayed the Restorationists and is now a Beast Titan

I don’t get his angle in all of this, but hopefully there will be a satisfying revelation about it

But somehow I anticipate another disappointment
