bitch, get over yourself, you’re the one who apparently got fooled by an obvious hyperbolic joke

this is correct. also i think sarcasm and hyperbole should be abolished.

the best part of the forest arc was when they spent pretty much an entire episode sprinting through the woods being chased, and then the leader pulled out a gun and said “i have a plan” just as the episode ended, only for the next episode to reveal that his plan was to use a flashbang to get his team to shut up so…

oh, we’ve passed 100,000 covid deaths in the us, police brutality, trump stuff, and now, worst of all, a bad manga is successful

man this week has been brutal. terrible news left and right

nothing but bad news all week

this is so fucking boring, shut up

i knew it, you people do understand hyperbole!

kill yourself

what more torment can this week subject us to?

imagine if a lighthearted video game blog used hyperbole

i can count on one hand (hell, maybe one finger*) the number of high-school-set anime that i would recommend to an anime newcomer. most of the shows that got me into the medium — a good chunk of which are on this list — had a much more international perspective that didn’t depend on japanese cultural knowledge.

..do people just not take anime seriously if it isn’t violent or full of suspense?

Bebop is mentioned at the top of the article as the show that everyone recommends to newcomers, so I assume it’s the article’s de facto ninth recommendation

I first watched it with a group of friends that included a major anime-skeptic, and he audibly cringed every time Edward did his whole “don’t call me short” yelling schtick. It was a shame, because he said he was repeatedly getting into it, only to be taken out of it by another screaming jag.

If I had to introduce a show to somebody who doesn’t watch anime and isn’t a fan of sci-fi or action, Kids on the Slope is probably the only one I’d be able to think of. It’s gorgeous, it treats its characters seriously, it has the jazz thing going on which keeps things familiar to westerners. Super heartwarming, too.…

astounding that trump is mishandling a deadly pandemic this badly and yet all biden can do is this shit

megalobox is so strong. the art style felt like a throwback to 90s anime; i swear the main rival jumped straight out of ninja scroll
