Exactly what said
I would still be play PS2 and 3DS games if they kept making them for those consoles. But I am not a normal customer.
SILENCE, ELF
Wrong board
>Elves
>Ganker
>It is actually 17 years old
I didn't need to know that
>le progression of time
yeah man, ya know, time like goes on and things age and it is oh so depressing i'm depressed fr fr oh my god i'm so old at 22 years old and the games i got as a kid are so long ago knowledge of time progressing absolutely makes me sad
>t. will kill himself at age 30
damn bro, maybe you'll outgrow posting like this eventually?
He's right, you npcs always crying about anything aging and then making fun about younger people doing the same thing as if this was a feeling unique to your generation
It's tiring
>i'm so old at 22 years old
It's been about 13 years since I was 22.
I'm a 30 year old virgin and starting to get white hairs
how could you not know? i played Wii in middle school and I'm in my 30's now
I was an adult when the Wii came out. Everything between age 22 and the present is just a blur of either “the other day” or “last year maybe?”
shame motion controls never really took off on PC. We could have actual sword games, instead we have mouse-click-spam and dodgerollin'
Motion controls are awkward at a desk.
>rest elbows on armrest
>sit a foot or two back from the monitor
>up the sensitivity so that wrist-flicks are swings
that works at a desk, but yes for the best experience standing is preferred.
Anyway I just miss the Razer Hydra. That was actually cool. And Valve's implementation in their FPS games was great and proved that motion controls beats both controllers and mice.
VR uses motion controls.
Fun fact: it's still a shitty gimmick. The novelty wears off after an hour.
I sincerely hope they improved it by now
It's perfect. The issue isn't the implementation. It's the concept. No one wants to fricking flail around like a moron when playing video games. Shit like manually reloading a gun or reaching around a wall to pick up an object is cool exactly once and exhausting every time after the first.
It's all tedium busywork that adds nothing to a game. There's a reason why you don't have to do a fighting game combo input to reload a revolver in flat games, or why mashing is exclusive to play-once party games like Mario Party.
Look at every AAA Wii game, including those made by Nintendo. You can count the ones with mandatory motion controls on one hand. And that's for a good fricking reason.
in what world is reloading a revolver (without a speedloader I'm assuming) a fighting game combo?
most guns use magazines or clips anyway so it's closer to the active reload system that a few games like to use
>It's perfect.
Nah, they still haven't come up with an even remotely passable solution to the haptic feedback issue. Using the revolver reload as an example you have to give people tons of leeway in getting the bullets in the chamber because there's no force feedback for them to use to get them in properly, they can't feel the bullet slide in properly. At which point you're no longer reloading a revolver, you're just fingering a remote. So then you have to take so many shortcuts for things to make it work physically, that it ends up just being glorified wagglan.
untrue, VR is great.
This. VR games are still just wii motion + wagglan gimmicks years later.
KILL ALL KNIFE EARS
elves are for rape and murdering them after rape
This show is so good, i cant believe people tried to downplay it
is it better than the manga? I need to decide whether to watch or read first
i've only read the manga but people seem to like the anime so it must be one of the rare times a manga i like didn't get a shit adaptation. go with whichever you prefer
>is being an animeonly better?
Anon..
read the manga, currently watching the anime. both are pretty good tbh. The anime's a great adaptation.
Of course it is. It's literally the best rated anime on MAL currently. That's as objective as it gets.
steins gate is the third highest rated
doesn't say much, honestly
it's worse than Slayers in how boring each fight is. That's an achievement
"muh boring fights" as a complain about a piece of media that's 95% not fight scenes is a great way to suss out massive morons whose opinions are worthless. It really helps sort out what criticisms are legitimate and which ones are just shounentards accidentally watching something with substance for once.
We seriously need a spinoff featuring Aura
Is the red hair kid even a real character? I've seen many interactions between Frieren and Fern, but that dumb kid is never to be seen in any of the fanart except for sometimes a minor appearance. It feels like he was manufactured to be a fake character than an actual presence in the show
Yes, Stark is a real character. Go watch the show. Better yet, read the manga.
>Go watch the show.
I'm still waiting for Oshi no Ko S2
>Better yet, read the manga.
ew
>oshi no ko
I don't think you're allowed to comment on which characters are real or not.
We're both FOTMtards here. Let's break it even and say we're both incredible sources of opinions here
latest episode is all about him
A case of anime-only fans only care about the waifus, while ignoring the story.
>some nobody who jobs and has no personality or character or backstory
why did morons latch onto her so much?
Is it just the usual pedophilia shtick? God, weebs are pathetic.
Why do you hate indonesia?
>try living in a first world country
Free Papua you theocratic fascists.
Is there any appeal to this show or is it just your usual seasonal stuff just with a sassy MC?
Why don't you watch the show and form your own opinion for once? Hate bandwagoners are just as moronic as FoTMgays.
Because 99% of the shows you gays watch is shit for fricking virgin losers. If ever have to see that pink b***h the rock ever again it will be too soon.
Just answer the question before we waste our time and you continue posting bullshit for gays
>just answer the question
Or, you could develop taste and actually determine the quality of things on your own instead of blindly following whichever random person hands you an opinion first. I'd bet you couldn't even tell me why that show was bad without just insulting it's viewers.
I trust Ganker and Ganker
I trust Ganker as much as I trust Ganker or Ganker. meaning very little. because you gays are utterly moronic and have shit taste most of the time. I've been burned wasting my tine on your suggestions. My taste is simply better than yours. if you can't feel passionate to defend something you like or to explain what's good then don't bother posting
Also your reading comprehension is dogshit, I've not said anything about freiren, I've simply said I don't trust your taste without an explenation. You can summarize bocchi as "shy b***h gets famous" and that's it. Not that hard if you were semi literate
>I don't trust Ganker's taste. You've let me down constantly and I am objectively better at telling what's considered quality anyway, but tell me what to think
How fricking stupid are you? Even if I told you the show was good, obviously you wouldn't believe it anyway.
>Also your reading comprehension is dogshit, I've not said anything about freiren
So is yours apparently, because obviously I was referring to Bocchi the Rock when I said that I doubted whether you could explain why the show was bad. Then you went on to prove that you couldn't explain anyway, accidentally.
holy mother of cope. Ok since you're just deflecting and want to get into an endless b***hfest tonight I'll just leave you alone, clearly you're too moronic to have a conversation in english.
I think you'll find better company on other websites. They typically like to share the same opinions with each other and uncritically believe whatever they're told, so you'll fit right in without having hurt your brain trying to think.
I asked you to simply verify your opinion but you think I'll just dismiss it outright so you do nothing but get into this pointless (you) fest which ironically is a bigger waste of time than if you just wrote out your reasons why Freiren is good.
I have no reason to dismiss your statement if you just wrote it out.
>I have no reason to dismiss your statement if you just wrote it out.
>I trust Ganker as much as I trust Ganker or Ganker. meaning very little.
>because you gays are utterly moronic and have shit taste most of the time.
>I've been burned wasting my tine on your suggestions. My taste is simply better than yours.
>but you think I'll just dismiss it outright based on nothing
Are you having a stroke, anon?
>trusts Ganker's hivemind
>doesn't trust Ganker's
You've never been to Ganker or Ganker. Can't blame you, but making shit up to argue with Gankerirgins is kinda sadder than going there.
I've yet to find an anime Ganker suggests that is as good as shows that Ganker suggests such as Chernobyl, The Terror, Shield, Sopranos, True Detective, Mindhunter, The Bear, Frasier.
I'm sure the catalog snapshots you took in your brief visit to boards you don't frequent are very representative of everyone's opinions there.
Consider lurking more, or perhaps kys for being crossboarder filth. Whatever helps you with your shitposting problem.
First of all, you're really upset, you sould calm down. You just went from projecting your newbieery to this idiotic stance on browsing more than one board at a time. All because I called your waifu a shit. you're having a melt down and I think you need to log off Ganker and get some air, or return to facebook where you belong in your anime club.
>get called out as a crossboarding homosexual
>"lol u mad"
I mean, you probably still could be butthurt more but I find that hard to imagine.
The only people who even care about cross boarding is Ganker because of the autistic unwritten rules and your inability to have a conversation that is autistic.
Sure, I'm not a gay who comes here and is too scared to post his opinions. But I enjoy Manga more So I'll give those examples.
Fooly Cooly is the best anime in my opinion. Gainax's best veterans high off theri success from evangelion. Experimenting and pushing the boundaries of animation. Perfect Music score and character development.
Kokou no Hito is the best anime in my opinion next to Oyasumi Punpun. Both deal with what traumatic events shape adulthood and how you either succumb or adapt and overcome.
Homunculous by Hideo Yamamoto is also excellent.
Dungeon Meshi and Demon slayer are the only good Shounen because they had a clear ending where the author didn't lose sight of the original vision.
Golden Kamuy was also excellent.
I enjoy anime, but I don't enjoy anime for anime's sake. anons on Ganker seem to never get tired of the same fricking story and characters. the same panty shots. it's all so tiresome. I gave my opinion, I simply asked anon to back up his opinion, something anyone should do in defense of shit they like.
I said anime for Kokou no Hito and punpun but I meant to say Manga. No anime could do them justice.
>redditard filtered by pantsu, loves FLCL
A tale as old as time. Any opinions shared with you is pearls before swine.
Seems your more filtered by adult shows and prefer to zone out to coomer shit for moronic teens in their moms basement. It would be alright if you weren't a pathetic adult.
Are you implying FLCL is an adult show? I can't say I remember everything about it but I'm pretty damn sure it's aimed at teenagers.
A teenager will enjoy it for the spectacle. You can watch it as an adult to see how every woman in the show manipulates men in their own way, even the youngest girl in Naota's class.
Naota's brother gone, Naota has no role model to look up to and it's a good portrayal of that age group of confusion and change. I think the show is very mature and adults can definitely appreciate the themes in the show.
I get what you're saying, but I disagree with your conclusion that it isn't aimed towards kids just because adults can enjoy it too.
>Baccano
Funny, I was about to recommend that in my previous post but didn't because it really has nothing in common with Frieren. Great show.
>Kara no Kyoukai
I'm not too familiar with Tsukihime, but I've played enough Melty Blood to be confused by the comparison to Frieren. Mind elaborating?
>it really has nothing in common with Frieren
It has a lot. The primary driving force behind the plot and a lot of the characters is their immortality and the way it shifts their thinking over time, in stark contrast to the other very human characters in the show. Playing with the flashbacks and order of events in the show to drive home everybody's arcs, like what they do with Frieren's history.
>Kara No Kyoukai
Doesn't really have anything to do with Tsukihime. Far less sophisticated of a reason, but it is a heavily character driven show that like with both previously mentioned shows uses the timeline to change the context of events and the actions taken by the cast. Similar sort of comfy vibe with a bittersweet tang is the main reason though.
> I disagree with your conclusion that it isn't aimed towards kids
it really isn't, you haven't explained why it would be suitable for teens or kids. It's an 18+ show just like Evangelion.
If marketers could sell an onahole as a slinky, they would.
That seems like a pretty flawed premise, to assume that just because a show has mature themes and events it can't possibly be intended for children. Pretty much every piece of good media aimed towards children will have adult themes weaved into a simple but effective narrative with a clear overall message that's not missable.
Also teens and kids are not the same category, teens absolutely are perfectly fine with the level of stuff that happens in the shows mentioned.
So the single anime you list happens to be one that Ganker recommends. OK.
Fooly Cooly is not recommended by Ganker, you can go ask yourself, you won't get those coomers to understand. Hell they had a mod posting who apparantly enjoyed the souless reboot series and banned anyone who called it out for being a pointless cash grab for posers. That's why I hate Ganker, mods literally jumping into discussions to promote their opinion. Ganker is just a fricking discord.
Dungeon Meshi is Seinen.
Seinen is for 18 year olds. Shounen is for children. Somehow Bleach is Shounen but dungeon meshi is seinen. It doesn't make sense. I'd read dungeon meshi to my kids because it's so wholesome. it was improperly categorized or it was done intentionally for mature readers not looking for action.
You shouldn't talk about stuff you don't know.
The demographic is decided by the magazine, not the individual series.
You lack reading comprehension and knowledge of this subject. So don't post next time.
Seinen, shounen, shoujo, etc aren't defining traits at all. They're solely what the anime or manga are catered towards and who they generally appeal to. It makes perfect sense. The same way that it makes sense that Avatar the Last Airbender is objectively a children's cartoon, but still features many themes that would fly over a kid's head and can be enjoyed by adults (as all good children's media can be).
Honestly just doesn't sound like anime is up your alley. I don't think you need to keep watching anime if you don't enjoy them, anon.
I can understand not liking anime, especially if cute anime girls aren't your thing. Anime is filled with awful tropes and shitty writing. But good looking animation and cute anime girls is something I enjoy.
>Anime is filled with awful tropes and shitty writing.
"Awful" is relative. Considering the slop he said he enjoyed, even obligatory isekai would be right up his alley.
He's just a troll tsundere for chinese cartoons and needs to shitpost about his unrequited love for it.
Ah yes, please point out which of the tv shows i listed were slop. You couldn't even reply to me so I assume you're from some troony discord.
if you weren't such a little b***h you'd post something you liked, anything, anime or tv show. but you're too scared, even on an anonymous image board. it's pathetic really. you must be a sad person in real life.
Oh no help it's an internet tough guy with shit taste and reddit opinions who clearly isn't mad.
I'm done for.
Double down further, it won't make you less of a little b***h.
>heh I'll reply sounding upset
>that'll prove I'm not mad to this anonymous poster
How about you give your list of anime that's as good as those shows?
>pink b***h the rock
>hates bocchi the Ganker
You need to go back.
She's not sassy, she's an immortal trying to understand human thinking after she basically ignored her friends until they died of old age.
It's fine, you fricking mong. Slow to start, but enjoyable, and relatable to anyone 25+.
>posts his shitty website expecting it not to get spammed with furry porn
People were making games for the PS2 until 2011/12 and people are still making PS4 games
Nintendo is the only company that actually makes game consoles.
it's true.
STUPID SON OF A b***h
you've spent more time shilling for that shit website than actually posting on it
I visited and there were like two threads on Ganker with more than 1 reply in the past 24 hours
I cant draw but here's this stupid autistic elf
Perfect
Looks like you can draw stupid autistic elves
Now draw her as a futa and pregnant
kys futa degenerate
kys pregnancy degenerate
I dont know what that is so I drew this instead
looks to me you can draw pretty well
elf sex
elf breeding
elf mating
elf procreation
elf intercourse
God I want to crater Frieren so hard
The wii would still be getting new games if the wii u and switch never existed.
I'd play Wii games with Frieren.
Dumb smug elf..
Mass produced goods can only be mass produced. Once the assembly line shuts down, that's it.
I think Shakedown Hawaii got a physical PAL Wii release but not NTSC because NoA no longer had the ability to do so.
Linie > Aura
stop sexualizing demons
No, they're cute. Especially Linie.
I like her design, but the fact that she is so weak is such a turn off for me that I can't be attracted to her.
The demon girl that tried to gift a replacement daughter gets my vote
She spent 6 months in the anime looking for a damn flower. Not even a magical flower. Just a flower to plant around her friends STATUE. She literally has no concept of time.
They're still making games for the GBA.
I don't usually watch anime and this is the first I've watched in years. Got any other anime shows that are actually good like this one?
Goblin Slayer is good and recent. Mushoku Tensei is decent.
Outside of strictly high fantasy settings, check out Mushi-shi and Mononoke.
Baccano, Spice & Wolf and Kara no Kyoukai if you mean literally like this show. Add Horimiya, Soul Eater, My Little Monster, Kamichu and just season 1 of Mob psycho if you just mean high quality character driven shows. Generally speaking I would say it's always better to read the manga or light novel for the actual good writing, but the anime for these is still fine. I don't usually remember things off the top of my head, so I think it's safe to assume they are my favourites.
Pluto
ReZero (I did like Season 2, but I can see why people hate it. It's not really well paced.)
Mushi-shi
Space Dandy
Mushoku Tensei (Bit more on the "anime" side of anime)
The Great Pretenders
Berserk
Devilman Crybaby
Interspecies Reviewers (The completely rare show of MCs that actually frick girls, not claim they want to and do nothing for years)
Redpill me about this Frieren anime.
autistic elf that has no concept of time tries to connect with people because she regrets not spending any time with the friends she had who had died of old age. kinda comfy, somewhat emotional, slow burn, some shonen stuff sprinkled here and there for the zoomzooms
>some shonen stuff sprinkled here and there for the zoomzooms
Can I skip those and still be okay?
Sadly it's sprinkled in there with relevant stuff, but it at least looks good. Nothing like JJK's nauseating schizofest fight scenes.
No, because all the major story points are in the arcs. Frieren is just divided between serious arcs and mundane slice of life volumes.
It has nothing to do with zoomers. Madhouse is just pretending they're BONES circa 2008 whenever they do battle sequences and the majority of the big world developments and story plot points are during the arcs involving Demons.
The only real reason to stay away from it is if you hate Hero and Demon King stories since everything revolves around Frieren retracing the journey she took with Himmel until they reach the end of the continent where the they fought the Demon King.
You can always just think of it as some autist writing a story about what happens when Parn from Loddoss dies and Deedlit is still alive.
It's quite good. Well animated and Frieren is an adorable autist. I haven't read the manga (although, I suspect I'll begin once the anime ends), so I cant speak to whether or not it's a faithful adaptation.
It's a good unique fantasy story that isn't a fricking isekai
I like it.
Top tier classic fantasy aesthetic with likeable characters and a superb fantasy soundtrack that plays it entirely straight and unironic.
>plays it entirely straight and unironic.
no wonder it's popular, many series are too far up their own buttholes for their own good
It has humour but the humour is natural and happens between the characters in a way which you would expect from companions on an adventure. At no point does the game mock its own world or premise, so it is in that sense a classical fantasy adventure story in the vein of LotR with some amusing characters in it. Best thing this season and it's worth watching just for the music.
Ganker will cry about the perspective of a running character looking a bit weird during an action scene because they can only interact with a show through the medium of shitposting about silent webms.
You forgot that it's also uniquely character-driven and low on mindless action which is unusual for a fantasy anime.
The litmus test for people liking Frieren would be if you thought the travelling adventure montages set to music in Mushoku Tensei were better than the shonen battle scenes
I wanted to enjoy an anime/manga with the same tone and quality as mushoku tensei but without the isekai and literal pedophilia, and constant returning to pedophilia, and panty sniffing. Actually the story of mushoku tensei is completely moronic, why did it get such a high quality manga and anime adaption from such a moronic Novel?
Mushoku tensei is catered towards incels and chuds who fantasize about raping women. Frieren on the other hand is catered towards normal functioning human beings.They aren't even in the same ballpark.
There are part of mushoku manga and anime outside of the main character that are sweet, like the adaptors working on it have real talent but are forced to present a disgusting story in an appealing way. Like right now the manga would look extremely nice to someone unaware of the main character's degeneracy. He's married and taking care of his 2 younger sisters while he studies ancient magic. He owns a home and has many colleagues and friends. But for no reason it cuts to him going to a shrine he built of his baby sitters underwear he stole as a child. Then there was a side plot where his cat girl minions start assaulting every girl for their panties to please him and this becomes sexual assault as they bully all girls of all ages to strip.
They had to keep this arc in, but clean it up, so they try showing him as furious, but it's just so fricking absurd.
Either make it a degenerate Coomer fantasy or cut out all the Coomer arcs. Don't mix these 2 tones together.
Are you some puritanical American? You should be able to appreciate the good parts of any media without having a public freakout over something your social programming tells you to run away from. If you can't see the appeal of something like the earnest travelling montages in MT then your soul is missing.
I assume you've already watched Spice & Wolf because who would even be asking this question if they haven't, but you could try these.
>Journey of Elaina
>Gosick
>Magi
>Sukasuka (technically SciFi/romance, but an honorary fantasy story if that makes sense)
>Merc Storia: Friend in a bottle
>Digimon Adventure specifically
For that fantasy world travelling/worldbuilding character driven good stuff.
You guessed correctly, spice and Wolf has one of the greatest soundtracks and I loved it. I really should just read the manga since the anime isn't going to finish it.
Thanks for the recommendation anon, high quality post.
Spice and Wolf anime isn't a faithful adaptation.
It leaves out how Craft has hemmerhoids on his arse from sitting down all day, and shags filthy prostitutes because Holo only puts out for tavern keeps for booze and bed.
> WAH SOURCE
First fricking issue casual.
.. so?
man you sound assblasted
she was raped by wolves, simple as
Fricked by tavern keeps.
The wolf shafting comes later.
You make me not want to read it. I like how the anime portray them as slow lovers.
It ruined it for me too.
I didn't need to know in excrutiating detail how filthy Craft Lawrences ass is because he can't wipe properly and is always sitting on his ass going from town to town.
>I didn't need to know in excrutiating detail how filthy Craft Lawrences ass is because he can't wipe properly
when is something like this ever necessary in writing wtf
The novel is literally the anime, but better writing and more intimate moments between them. Also it actually ends.
Read. The. Light. Novel. Literally no excuse.
I will never read a light novel. I read manga and that's it.
I take back all my recommendations. You can't watch them now or else you're gay.
Elf mage finishes The Big Adventure and goes on a roadtrip with an adopted student-daughter retracing the steps of The Big Adventure and cleaning up what was left after they defeated the big bad.
at the funeral
at the Ganker
Im so glad I didn't shit on old people for not keeping track with the passage of time. No dread.
Himmel was a hero.
I really like shombori Frieren :3
Sounds like the complaining moron just enjoys arguing.
Consoles force hardware forward, on PC it’s most profitable to develop for the average which is very weak hence the indie deluge.

Back in my day you waggled your arms around and FRICKING HATED IT.

wagglan was good for strategy and some shootan
gyro is good for shootan
sorry you hate fun
Funny how shit like Frieren and Oshi No Ko became bigger hits than Redditsaw Man despite the insane hype that shitshow got before it aired.
The manga for Chainsaw man was and still is top in sales. It had an experimental anime that didn't do it justice. Nothing Reddit about it you seasonal anime only weeb
>why do they stop making games for consoles?
Why do they stop making games for my 386 SX?

When I was a kid, games came in cassette tapes and floppy disks.
and not the smol plastic ones you're thinkin of, the LARGE floppy disks that actually flop everywhere
Reminder that she'll consider you a quickshot no matter how long you last.
That's not how her perception of time works, she still has to sleep all day, her perception of time is not skewed across daily tasks, it's long-term time that she doesn't perceive normally.
So she won't consider you a quickshot if you rail her for four hours straight, but she will consider you "just a sex friend" 5 years into your relationship.
Anon, she doesn't even have the patience to do the ball & cup game. It's fricking impossible for her. Her fricked-up sense of time does in fact apply to mundane things as well as shit that is immediately happening.
>Anon, she doesn't even have the patience to do the ball & cup game
Yes? that just further reinforces my point, when it comes to regular tasks she doesn't have any more patience than the average person, she just perceives the passage of time on the long term differently. To her somtehing that happened a week ago might as well have happened hours ago but she doesn't enjoy tedium
Ball and cup is for liberal cucks, nobody has time for that unless you're into anal sex with your boyfriend.
>nobody has time for that unless you're into anal sex with your boyfriend.
I can confirm. I’ve never played ball and cup and I only do oral with my boyfriend.
Do you think elves just spend 6 months straight having sex or something?
Yes.
Anon she still sleeps every night, that would be physically impossible.
>Haha, I am powerful! More powerful than you, elf!
Wrong it is I who is more powerful than you.
Who likes this shit?
I'm 7 episodes in so far and this hasn't happened once
But Frieren is pretty low tier and not that great of a mage, all things considered?
Me! It means we can get back to the comfy SoL shit faster.
What a fricking bawd.
Why is this FOTM everywhere?
Enormous ad budget.
Because it's a good anime in a sea of shit.
>devs stop supporting your old consoles
>money stolen
How do we stop this?
some anime are better as stand-alone without reading the source material
usagi drop comes to mind as the prime example
