This is so stupid lol, what would you even do if there was no internet? Your 90 dollar game would be even more useless because it's not even functional as a paperweight.

When i say 90 dollar game i'm not joking, 80 dollars for the new switch 2 mariokart game lol
https://insider-gaming.com/nintendo-switch-2-games-will-cost-80-for-digital-90-for-physical/
I wonder what their deal is?
Didn't game systems used to cost 200, and games roughly 20 to 40 dollars?
I am currently only 10 episodes in and I think I am falling in love with this show the more episodes I watch of it. The show aired back in 1986 and as far as I know it's still going strong. It's about a little girl who lives with her parents named Maruko-chan who shares a room with her sister in rural Japan going about her daily life.
The show is meant for children and each episode tries to teach you some kind of lesson but I am quite sure that even now older folks in Japan to this day watch it from time to time. What really got me hooked initially was how fluid the animation was despite being drawn in a very simple format.
I will try to describe a single episode in the hopes of getting some people interested in it.
Episode 3 "Today is Sensei's Home Visit"
Maru-chan walks home with her friend who complains to her about home visits that teachers tend to do and upon arriving back at her house she noticed that her mother came very prepared for this day making sure to straighten out the house before the teachers visits and asks Maru-chan to go back to her room and clean it up because he will be also inspecting her room.
Instead of cleaning her room Maru-chan decides to bag up all of the mess in her room and asks for her grandpa to look after the stuff until the teacher is gone but when the teacher arrives he doesn't go past the entrance of the house saying that this is enough for him and quickly leaves after a short talk with Maru-chan and her mother.
After leaving Maruko-chan goes to the kitchen and sees sweets that her mother prepared for the teacher that was coming but since he already left she couldn't let them really go to waste, could she, and instead gobbles all of them up with some tea. Then she goes back to grandpa to grab all of her stuff that she took out of her room and returns it back into place making a mess of the room again.
Then it turns out that there is another visitor at the door which was the teacher of Maru-chan's sister which goes past the entrance way into her room and sees the mess that her room is and everyone looks completely shocked with a complete freakout from Maru-chan's sister, her mother quickly takes the teacher to the kitchen for the snacks that she had prepared but as Maru-chan ate it there was none left for her.
The episode ends with Maru-chan thinking she can escape this situation by repeating "I don't know" to her mother.

This is so cool

>what the Chibi Maruko-chan TV show could have been in another universe.
>the good news is that raws of that pilot film DO exist on one of the DVD compilations that are out there. The bad news is that the film is entirely unvoiced, and it’s unclear whether or not there’s music attached. Instead, it was subtitled. (This is not unexpected for a pilot film.)
> I’m pretty sure that that webm runs the length of the entire pilot film.
>As for why this animation style was abandoned, a cursory glance at the Japanese Wikipedia page reveals that Momoko Sakura herself vetoed the proposed look of the series and wanted something that was closer to her own personal style.
>In the original manga, especially at the beginning, all of the asides, inner thoughts, and explanations were done in Maruko’s own voice -- understandable as it began as a semi-autobiographical manga. We all know that the anime we got solved the problem of bringing that to the TV screen by introducing an external narrator which piled on the snark. Clearly that concept was not part of the planned adaptation from the beginning -- we see here in that frame that the original plan was for the action to freeze and to have a “spirit” Maruko address the audience directly.
Good evening or die.
https://www.nicovideo.jp/user/5125955/video The contrast between the show and music choices.
Watched this Christmas special again where Hanawa exchanges roles with Maruko-chan. I honestly wonder how I could watch more of this series after the first season even though the art style looks like crap but I guess you do get used to it eventually. I tried checking Netflix with a Japanese VPN but it wont display any episodes older than 800 so...
Not even sure what episode it was from again I just have it saved as that file name but its one of my most favorite ones.
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

Did a recent read through of Genshiken. Need to pick up Second Season.
I started reading this manga called goodnight punpun, it's very surreal and dark yet fun.
I was reading a manga called "Gannibal" and it's pretty fucking good, i was wondering if they would do a live action and sure enough, there is. Too bad i wasn't able to finish the story because from what i understand the websites i've been using only have up to 22 chapters.
My thought? Downplayed the gore (when it wasn't needed) which is fine and focused on the psychological horror aspect, which is pretty good, also i heavily appreciate the usage of mythology.

>I wonder if the artist is also a photographer
That would make sense theres much care in the landscapes. I finished the manga this week. There's also a couple OVAs so I'm going to watch those.
Manga suggestion
Back when you called us devils
Psychological soap opera, Had plenty of twists and turns i personally wasn't expecting, was a hell of a ride for me lol.
Before the internet became the dominant way to consume music, record stores were the primary place to obtain it. Sometimes, when the album art is aesthetically pleasing, you will want to check the album out. This thread I will start.
>Band
Acid Age
>Album title
Like a Runaway Combine Harvester in a Field of Crippled Rabbits
The album art is bad because the band is trying to look rad but ends up looking stupid. Animal cruelty is also not giving the art any choice.29 replies (and 17 file replies) omitted. Click here to view. (Bump Limit: 250)

A goal of mine is to eventually watch true detective, It was mentioned on a previous version of this site, and how the show was influenced by cosmic horror and especially "The king in yellow" By Robert Chambers, which has peaked my interest, to say the least.
Last night I watched Lawrence of Arabia starring Peter O'Toole. What a movie. Sweeping landscapes and score. The defeat of a hero, fall of a prophet. That sort of thing. I'd imagine a big inspiration to the recent Dune films. Aside from obvious parallels in imagery, there are many parallels to be drawn in narrative and characterization.
What is with movie where it's like "real humans enter the fictional world" (like the minecraft movie) or "fictional character enters the real world" like the 1987 he-man movie,(or the live action super mario movie) but then you have the "insert thing but real and we add a fuck ton of ironoc humor for no reason besides we can't take the IP seriously" (think detective pikachu)
Are they stupid, are they running out of ideas? Can they atleast NOT make the movie or atleast take the concept serious enough to make something halfway decent? Or is it that the people are too stupid enough to just send their kids to some stupid movie so they can do whatever while the brands pushing for the movies pretty much treat it as a massive commercial?
>>4273
I though they did though, unless it wasn't the movie but instead the book lawrence wrote.
Which godzilla do you like
I like the original lizard, he has a charm to him, but its like minus one is just as good, whenever they did close ups it made me happy because he reminds me of the original. I also like the swimming scenes, reminds me of a big iguana swimming.

I was at a yardsale and i heard a noise, so i bent down to look under a chair and i saw a gray cat with large eyes, irises fully open and ears down. I tried touching him but he backed up a bit but he kept looking at me. He didn't blink either, just stare
WHAT IS HE LOOKING AT
STOP LOOKING AT ME
Was he looking at my DNA? Or even deeper, my soul?

There can only be one.
I spotted a cute black and white cat sitting on a sidewalk, i wanted to pet him but i decided against it because he looked too comfy and i didn't want to disturb him.
>>4316
Maybe it was an invite to join the cat gang and maybe your cat wasn't gangster enough.
im scared, all the twenty two years ive posted here on the imageboard twenty two chan, board "sewers", i didnt know we where exclusively on the dark web
what do?
>>1559
You take an elevator to the highest floor of the building and open 22chan. After that you scream your device to demystify the website
>>1560
Go to the 22nd floor as well and once you are done screaming post moar.
Legend says that if at 22:22, you go to the bathroom, turn off the lights and stare at the mirror, then say 22 times:
>mirror mirror on the wall, what's the comfyest chan of them all
Then absolutely nothing will happen and you'll look like a buffoon

Definitely. Thanks again.
Recently my energy levels have been low. I realize this must be because I am dehydrated. It just sucks because my energy is so low doing a lot activities is a struggle due to low energy.
This weekend flew by and the work week has been exhausting lately. It is just how life is sometimes. I hate feeling like I have little freetime.
