Moe Comfy Manga Recs Anonymous 10/15/18 (Mon) 00:27:07 No.409 [Reply]

Hello, sushi! Lately I've been craving some really cute moe SOL manga. Can I get some recommendations? (bonus points for 4koma, shoujo-ai, yuri)

Examples: Komi-san, Watamote, Comic Girls, Senryuu Shoujo.

I wish there was something similar to Shoujo Shumatsu. Girls travelling the wasteland without much point to it just hits well for me.

I can see that no one else has recommended it yet so let me start by warmly recommending Ayakashiko!
It's a cute story about a serious girl who has youkai friends of many different kinds. Together they create all kinds of antics but also have comfy times together at home. There aren't any prevalent male characters but there isn't any real yuri either.
This manga will soothe you when you need it. -w-

I've been reading Taimashi to Akuma-chan. It's about a demon girl who has a crush on an flirty charming exorcist who decided she is a good girl who shouldn't be harmed.

Timothy Draper. its the bibliography of a loveshy user, he posted the pdf on the site, but I will upload here in case if anyone wants to. While I did enjoyed reading his book, there are many parts that made me feel depressed.

The world in 1984 feels too hamfisted to me. Ingsoc’s totalitarian state seems cartoonish, like its 12 year old’s idea of what an authoritarian state would like. It’s hard to take seriously.

Thanks. I'll check this out. There's also Philip K Dick's novel The Simulacra which was some inspiration for Baudrillard and Ecclesiastes too. Although the quote at the beginning is 'fake.' Its interesting that there are all these sneaky religious references in Baudrillard's writing. Its a tough read.

Today I went outside and sat in the park to enjoy the sunny weather and read bits of Aristotle's Nichomachean Ethics and al-Tusi's Nasirean Ethics. There are many things I like about the Aristotelian-Platonic tradition but a few things make me uncomfortable. The negative attitude to the body, overemphasis on reason and mental exercises. It also feels very rigid with a mapped out plan of all the virtues.

I read this unfinished half essay, Capitalism As Religion, by Walter Benjamin. Its a strange and crude theological analysis of capitalism as an extreme cult. Unlike traditional religions, this cult is the first characterized by an all pervasive guilt which is hammered into the human psyche, from which there is no atonement or forgiveness. Its also permanent, there are no days off, no holy days, you must worship at the alter all the time. The cult increases psychological suffering and despair. The cult doesn’t care about reforming the world but ultimately destroying it. Benjamin describes it as a parasite that grew out of Christianity and ate it, like a chest bursting xenomorph.

Author is short on details and his concept of religion is flawed. It would have been interesting to see what it would have looked like had he finished it. It reminded me of Marx’ allusions to Moloch and the famous scene in Metropolis where workers are fed to Moloch.

ITT share any nice old documentaries you like.

Anonymous 04/08/25 (Tue) 02:34:22 No.1466

Maybe this one? It's a CIA documentary. There used to be lots of old documentaries about all sorts of countries and stuff from the 50s and 60s. i can't remember who produced them exactly, maybe it was the CIA. But I don't remember the others being as propaganda-y as this one, so maybe they were made by a different organization. Like they could've been done by Department of State or Commerce because I think they were intended for diplomats and such to watch before they go there. They'd talk about the local culture and economy and customs. They used to be all on vimeo, i downloaded a bunch but they're on one of my old drives now.

The audio on this one is a bit yucky here, but it's still an interesting old thing. i like seeing the old buildings and stuff. I'll have to look through my old drives to find the other series.

What Do You Guys Think of Fan Fictions in General? Anonymous 03/25/25 (Tue) 18:57:59 No.1421 [Reply]

I think it's an interesting way to express out enjoyment of out favorite series, whether it could be from a TV show, comic book, animation, video game, etc. etc…

I'm making a fanfic for Alien 9, though it's not complete and I think it's an interesting way for fans to express their take of the original source material, and that's why I like to make stories one day (though my procrastination might put me in trouble in the future…).

It's basically about a high school girl getting kidnapped to be tested for an experiment that humans can defeat the aliens without the help of the Borgs; just using a katana. It's available on AO3 & its title is Test Subject: Yasu.

I was thinking of a little project, where I would 3D model some characters I love, or particular scenes with them. Really want to get good at one visual art.

I enjoy ecchi fanart, hentai not so much. Never had any interest in literary fanfics, except for one Hermiona - Hagrid smut.

Favourite Movie Thread Anonymous 06/22/16 (Wed) 00:27:36 No.10 [Reply]

Let's post our favourite movie of all time or a great movie you recently watched.

I'll start.

My favourite movie is Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. The movie is amazing, very funny while maintaining the seriousness of the topic. [spoiler]The Coca-Cola part is fantastic[/spoiler].

Another movie that also really like is Persepolis (yeah, I'm reposting from the .tokyo thread). It's an animation film that tells the story of the author during and after the Islamic revolution. The art is quite unique and the main character is lovely!

If a white author depicted Iranians the way she does they would rightly be accused of racism. Satrapi is an onerous Islamophobe who's constantly let off the hook because her comic became a hit with snobby university feminists. Try Remembering Akbar by Behrooz Ghamari-Tabrizi. It's a semi-autobiographical account of his life as a teenage leftist revolutionary against the Shah and how he wound up on death row during the Khomeini era. Its an insiders view of the revolution as it happened from below. Its not a movie but I've added the pdf for you if you're interested.
