When I see an anime girl or woman it is not like I am seeing a human girl or woman.
If I saw an anime girl in front of me there wouldn't be any contradiction in it. It would not be very unexpected. I've seen these things depicted incredibly often, so it makes sense. There would be no doubt or speculation of insanity. I would not flinch from the hand of an anime girl near my face.
When I see an anime girl I want to grab a potato peeler and run it all over her. I imagine it would reveal something like a mannequin beneath. Without the skin it would be cold, motionless, without character. I would peel the skin from her face, I would peel off her eyes, but beneath there would be no socket. Only a smoothness. If I held in my hand the scrap of skin that held her eye I might see it blinking. This is the sense that I have, my intuition into the nature of a physical anime girl.
Anime women, do they speak? Or are they simply understood? They are heard in, at all times, at least/most two voices. At least two when they are known, at most two when they are beloved. This is another impression of mine, except this time I call it conviction.

Edit
When I use the hand of an anime girl to twist my fingers from their sockets, I do not feel pain. When I use the teeth of an anime girl to puncture my flesh where tendons draw taut, I do not bleed. The damage is never undone.
Is it a mistake to love an anime woman? This is a question I leave open. To do otherwise is too terrifying for me to think about. I beg you, this is a question I do not want closed. It is not something to strive towards. Most fortunately it is a futile question. In the first place it is impossible to love an anime woman. This is not because they do not exist. It is perfectly simple to love something that does not exist. I would name that among the most common species of love.
It's my hypothesis that an anime girl is one of two things. The first, an angelic being. The second, something that is understood through the same required terms as angelic beings. The anime girl DOESN'T speak, to answer an earlier question. To answer another, it IS understood, and ONLY understood. It is the prerogative of these things to be understood, or extend an appearance of something that is understood.
If I were to pull an anime girl from the heavens with my own hand, would I feel anything towards it? Could I crumple it up and place it in a bin? If I did, could I be confident it would stay there? Years later, would I remember that moonless night, the feeling of walking unseen through damp air, and would I hear beyond hearing that rustling by my side? Open questions.
Is an anime girl capable of Evil with a capital E? Instinct tells me no. Deduction also tells me no: angelic beings and things that can be interchanged with them are not capable of Evil with a capital E. Rocks aren't capable of Evil with a capital E either, nor is the cosmic vacuum. Nor is humankind, despite what it may on occasion wish. This means anime girls, if not solely angelic beings, may be constituted entirely or partially by stone, vacuum, human, or a combination of some or all of these.
Is an anime girl capable of Good with a capital G?
No.
Can they be blamed for anything? Open question.

Uncanny valley would be an understatement, to discribe the visual genre. I also find the pairing of realism and cartooning very interesting. Like the borders of reality are breaking down and what's left is an indescribable blur. Large eyes tend to give a psychological reaction of "cute" usually done so that instead of getting killed, the predator would actually protect the prey. Now tie that with a fictional cartoon but give a decently realistic but still cel shaded body with a realistic backdrop and sometimes realistic clothing and what do you get? certianly not something of this world. I think it really gives psychological horror manga/anime a nice boost

On old 22chan there was a thread for various anime and manga recommendations, and I decided to "revive" it
You may think of it as a book club
Wether old or new does not matter
Simply post what you read/watch or did so in the past
My contribution is a manga I found through the aforementioned previous thread.
If by chance the one who posted this there reads this; thank you very much, it really stuck with me.
I hope you guys will enjoy it as much as I did

Kinda feels like it, i wasn't given the best education in the world and my mind is blown by this.
G fighter gundam is under rated. It was given bad reviews from normalniggers and people at the time who must have wanted it to be the exact same as regular mobile suit gundam. Dispite appearing "campy" it actually does take itself quite seriously. If you enjoyed watching saturday morning cartoons then you might like it, because at times you'll get similar vibes. When it comes down to the dub, i'm 50-50 because it does contain iconic voice acting at times but also somewhat terrible at others, also there's heavy localisation.

the foxy pirate arc is skippable. shit quality animation, tons of added bloat that only exists in the anime version, and content was cut that makes zero sense.
Recently stumbled upon a super cool and kind of spooky surreal manga recently. It's called The Wizard and the Red Pilgrim, and I really like it. The art is absolutely superb and the characters are fun and cool. I'd definitely recommend it.

I would like to stress this thread is for the discussion of the subtitled version of School Ghost Stories, not the dub.
i originally watched the dub, the problem i had personally was that it felt wrong, sure it was funny but its like looking at a painting that was drawn over.
fun fact, behind satsuki in the opening to the anime is gashadokuro, i remember reading about him for the first time in a storybook for children, although his origins was warped to where it was about a boy fighting him off.
i find it weird that japanese urban legends are appearing all at once like hanako san, kubinashi rider and i find it equally strange that dogfaced man made an appearance, i thought he only harassed drunk salarymen? (although to be fair that might have been the modern verson of the tale that i heard)
i am unsure, perhaps it'll be elaborated on later.
so far episode one reminds me of an old 80's horror sitcom. it was pretty enjoyable to me.
another thing i like is how the voice actors sound their age, unlike the dub. i still find it funny that the cat was possesed and nothing has changed, just typical cat behaviour such as a lust for evil and deep contempt for humanity, as all cats do. the spirits i don"t recognise are amanojaku, and teke-teke. with teke-teke i think they fucked up because they potrayed it as a bald ghost thing but from what i understand from a quick google search she's supposed to look like a schoolgirl cut in half. with hanako i find it funny that momoko would fucking summon hanako which is the LAST THING a sane person would do, its like me walking into a haunted house and summoning bloody mary. i thought it was funny that hanako was friendly.

This thread is for the discussion for Mobile Suit Gundam, and other content that exists inside the Universal Century timeline. I would also include any gundam novels by Yoshiyuki Tomino as an example and other stuff like the Origins manga series as "alt takes" of the gundam series. Also stuff by other authors like Harutoshi Fuku's Gundam unicorn novel which for what i understand was "made canon" by sunrise.
i can't remember if this was discussed in the actual show, but something interesting i learned from the origins manga is that guntank was a prototype of guncannon, and guncannon led to the development of the rx-78-2. wasn't simultaneous.
hayato also was wary of amuro's father and the screwy behaviour of the earthfeds on side 7. also it was obscured in the show but in the origins manga locations are explicitly mentioned, like garma has a base in fucking hollywood. also new yark = new york.
something i need to check out is the first episode and compare it to the manga, because i thought amuro was screwing around on the computer, and he was struggling with the manual while combatting the zakus. in the manga he hacked into his dads research about the rx-78-2 and he had no manual and combatting the zakus was kind of by memory.
go ahead and laugh at me since i haven't watched the anime in ages and i might get things wrong. also i'm personally going to watch stuff soon in chronological order, its a bucket list thing. also i missed out on watching zz and zeta gundam with you guys and i have been itching to watch them ever since.
now i will talk about the trilogy movies. on one hand an effort was made to have it conform to the real robot genre, which is great. no more g-part upgrade nonsense which was personally fucking tiresome to watch. on the other hand things got cut which in my opinion is retarded like why remove the black tri-stars? why cut doans island? if the quality was so fucking bad why not cut all the other sequences that sometimes had more low quality then the two abformentioned episodes? i could be wrong with this but also it felt like it was a freak of the week situation wih zeon's mobile suit, that they came up with stuff to combat the rx-78-2 instead of being pre existing weapons of war, most of them don't make a second appearance. only later in other shows they show previously introduced mobile suits in battle. also something that came to mind recently lol was the similarities of gundam and battlestar galactica. both are kind of survival stories of a rag tag group vs an oppresive force, they both have space magic by the evolution of mankind in space leading to psionic powers, also there is a civilian class in thd lower decks who are taking refuge and are a pain in the ass. commander cains outfit reminds me of chars uniform, but the similarities stop there.
requim for vengance is offputting as fuck. i don't understand the perspective of the writers and bandai amd what their intentions and design choices. one of the characters is a straight up tumblr art hoe alt-girl, tatted up with peircings and i wasn't exactly expecting to see that in a japanese production. the visuals are weird, like they wanted to go realistic where you can see pores on skin but at the same time have graphics similar to halo 3 /2008 dead space. (also like the fucking fox engine if you know what i mean) i dont know if they used mocap or whatever animation but its off as fuck, like if they didn't bother even syncing the mouths and motion to the audio
the story allegedly takes place in 0079 early on but i thought amuros gundam was the first and only prototype and they couldnt even mass produce that shit (even shit like the guncannon) till the end of the war and yet the gundam EX is another prototype thats unstoppable.
the story is fine i guess and the protag is also fine i guess and she's not a mary sue dispite being a newtype. its the same newtype fuckery amuro had early on that made him look like he was insane instead of being like space magic. mech fights are cool i guess and the gundam EX is potrayed as a monster/serial killer and i fucking love that perspective.

can you post the clip?
>>500
Actually for whatever reason i can't. You would think it would be on youtube but all that's availible is several short vids of luffy eating a kiwi. In episode 214 the anime exclusive character Chiqicheetah, at first starts sniffing luffy because early on in thd ark he had eaten several long kiwis, and during a roller skating race they realised that chiqicheetah is a cheetah-man so they fell the long kiwi tree to distract him. Sanji, the manager of the straw hat roller derby figured out that kiwis have been known to be related to silver vine, which is used in asia as a catnip alternative which is why the cheetah man was sniffing luffy and behaving weird.

Anime opening/closing music that works as a song in its own right
Post anime opening/closing themes that you'd listen to normally as if you heard them on the radio. I'll start
"Sky Hurricane" by Casey Rankin was the opening Orguss. "Sky Hurricane" was regularly played as the show moved on. Casey Rankin is pretty interesting in the sense he was an American musician trying to make it in Japan.

GREAT soundtrack, found it on a whim, haven't watched the anime yet.
Kind of unrelated, but when I'm listening to music I'm feeling luke warm on, I tend to imagine it in the context of an anime op or ed and it usually helps to make me appreciate it more...

This is probably my favorite op. It works for me since I mostly listen to instrumentals.

This thread is for the discussion of Mechs, Exoskeletons, and Giant Robots featured in Anime and Manga, This thread is more focused on the robots and not exactly the story about them so seperate threads is needed if you want to talk about that. Nothing wrong with discussing say, That cool moment when char kicked amuro's rx-78-2 in outer space or whatever. Even if the thing is a one off that appears in one panel don't be afraid to talk about it. Pic related is the Armored Shrike from Blue Gender, I think it's neat how the pilot is kind of positioned on the outside of the machine instead of sitting in an enclosure on the inside although to be honest if i had to kill giant bugs i'd rather be sitting on the inside where i'd not be exposed.9 replies (and 2 file replies) omitted.

I'd take it. It would be fun to roam the city in one of those but it seems unpractical in battle.
i like the way mobile suits are piloted in g fighter gundam, i feel likd its more practical and realistic vs the regular series with a sitting pilot.
the fighting and moves for a mech in the regular gundam series would have to be pre generated like a video game, even then i 'm sure it would be prone to error due to how complicated the human body and movement is. doan atleast exploited the controls so he can do unarmed combat which is quite noteworthy. with g fighter, it has haptic feedback so one can actually move and feel when the mech get damaged, the limits are on how the mech is made and the combat ability and training of the pilot.

If you're unfamiliar with it, ADV Dub is the entity behind producing the irreverent English dub for Ghost Stories. The narrative they presented claimed that the anime performed abysmally in Japan, both in terms of sales and reception, which is far from the truth. Regrettably, a significant portion of the English-speaking Western audience accepted this account as gospel, and did not do their own research on this topic. Contrary to popular belief, Ghost Stories is considered as one of the best horror anime made, with a lot of childhood nostalgia tied to it.
I will be sharing a lot of resources you can look into to confirm this for yourself, and maybe then you could watch the anime as it was intended.
∧▁∧
（ФωФ） Oh, Ghost Stories? Wait, hold on a second... You actually fell for ADV Dub's story and didn't smell anything fishy? Hahaha!
㇇ ㇇
Here is what Ste7en Foster, writer and director of Ghost Stories's English dub, said in his biography, The Last Alias: True stories and a tale that might be
(pages 83-84, eBook version)
The show is basically a lame Scooby-Doo ripoff with a cat where the dog
should be. Five plucky youngsters—in this case, elementary school kids—
battle a ghost-of-the-week each episode. Each episode is a totally contained
show. Only the pilot episode really demands to be watched in a certain
position. The others you could shuffle and never be the worse for wear. The
show’s animation isn’t bad, but it’s nothing special. The show just paddles
along on its mediocre legs, not really harming or healing anyone in the
process.
There’s an episode about an artist ghost, a snow ghost, a headless biker
ghost, etc. The violence is fairly intense. Some of the scenes are a little rough
for younger viewers and the ending song that rolls over the credits is called
“Sexy Sexy,” so it seems a little mature to be strictly a kids’ show. But it’s so
juvenile it doesn’t really feel like it’s for an older audience either. Maybe
that’s why it tanked in Japan? Who knows.

It aired on Fuji TV affiliate stations from October 22, 2000, to March 25, 2001. There was also a special episode broadcast on August 24 of the same year. The average viewership rating was 12.2%, the highest rating was 14.0%, and the lowest rating was 10.6%
As a point of reference:
1) In the 2000s, a successful mainstream anime might have achieved ratings in the range of 10-20%.
2) Late-night anime, which typically cater to a more dedicated fanbase and might be considered more "niche," often have ratings under 5%, sometimes even under 1%.
With the conclusion of this series, the long-running collaboration between Fuji TV and Studio Pierrot temporarily ended. It is also the last new anime to begin airing during Fuji TV's golden time slot. Five years after the original broadcast, in 2006, it was rebroadcast on TOKYO MX, and in 2014 and 2016, it was rebroadcast on Chiba Television (Chiba TV). The special episode "Headless Rider!! Curse of Death" was originally broadcast as a special episode after the final episode (Episode 19), five months after the initial run. However, in reruns on TOKYO MX and Animax, it was broadcast before the actual final episode. In the case of Chiba TV's reruns in 2014 and 2016, it was aired as the actual final episode.
Regarding the background of such an arrangement, North American media reports that since this work was unpopular and a commercial failure in Japan, Animax, which wanted to recoup production costs, provided only minimal conditions and was not involved in other matters. However, this is inaccurate. In Japan, the anime achieved high average viewership ratings of 12.2% with a peak of 14.0%. It even ranked 5th in the 2021 horror anime rankings, indicating a resilient popularity that continues to this day.

On 2channel there were around 90 different general threads made about Ghost Stories actually all archived under a single link which now is pretty much dead so that sucks...
Title: "School Ghost Stories" Past Log Archive (Thread 1-28) URL: http://www.geocities.com/gakkai_logbox/index.html
Here is another collection of posts I found directly from 2channel there are even posts from 2001 that were reposted maybe those threads are still alive somewhere.

- This thread is for discussing school ghost stories. Studio Pierrot produced it. It's a shame the 3rd episode was canceled.
- I want the anime to come back!!!!!! If they replayed everything up to the last episode (excluding specials) and then aired new stories from there, that would be great. Well, they could also replay just the first episode and then air new ones.
- It's still in the Showa thread, and now there are two separate threads.
- Satsuki, Momoko-san, Keiichiro in the beginning, Satsuki's mom and dad, Kaya and Tengu, everyone loves them, yet because of the panty shots, it's only seen as a panty anime, and it's sad. Panties should just disappear!
- Nostalgic! After watching this anime, I was scared of taking baths and desperately remembered all the weaknesses of each yokai. I was a elementary school student back then.
- How many times did the server crash due to SexySexy...
- That annoying woman who ruined the third episode by making baseless complaints, I bet she's protesting properly this time too? Seriously, go to hell. (referencing episode 3)
https://hayabusa6.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/ranimeh/1291414861/882-982 (2010-2015)
- Ah, nostalgic anime. Not that it's completely unknown, but it's the kind of nostalgic anime they might occasionally show on Asahi Broadcasting, isn't it? For people who watched it in real-time, it's a unique nostalgia. At the end, when Baikinman possessed Kāya, he regained his body and left? But they meet again and it ends, I remember that well.
- Today I have a day off work, so I'm watching the DVD from the beginning. Next is the 4th volume, but Shirotabi → Anamane → Merry-san, all three episodes are good stories.
- It's been ten years since then, but I can't help but focus on the panties I didn't care about back then.
- During the time when School Ghost Stories was being broadcast, it was popular in my class. Wasn't the viewership good?
- I think it exceeded 10% if I recall correctly. It was probably on Wikipedia.
- Why did School Ghost Stories end while crappy shows like Iron Arm Dash continued?
https://mao.5ch.net/test/read.cgi/ranimeh/1584769032?v=pc (2020-2022)
- It's the 20th anniversary this year, huh? Hope they release a Blu-ray BOX.
- I've been watching D Anime up to a certain point, and it's a really well-made anime. The direction is detailed, and the animation is stable. At the time, I was in 5th grade, and it was spot-on for me. But if today's kids watch it, I wonder if our generation's school buildings would be considered old buildings in reverse.
- Tomorrow marks the 21st anniversary, huh?
- Congratulations on the 21st anniversary of the broadcast start!
- Are the surnames of the main characters derived from station names? Miyano-shita Station (Hakone Tozan Railway) Kakinoki Station (JR East Tadami Line) Aoyama Station (Located in Iwate, Niigata, and Aichi) Koigakubo Station (Seibu Railway)

I wonder why they replaced episode 3? Having the slit-mouth woman in an episode not only makes sense but would've been super fucking cool.
Coming from a country that had a proper dub of the series, despite not being what I'd regard as a "deep" anime, it does have a thoughtful theme behind it, that of things that are abandoned and forgotten due to to progress and development. Even if it didn't, what would be wrong with just being a fun episodic series? It's messed up that a guy with this line of reasoning even had a job as a writer and director.

Interesting, shame the anime's reputation took this hit. Making a fake narrative like this was unnecessary and shit. Still, I'm glad the joke dub exists. Stupid dub comedies like Ghost Stories, Kung Pao, Sealab 2021, and Punch Punch Forever! make me giggle like a dumb baby.
