Welcome to Sushichan!

Original Samachan.org migration discussion thread at >>>/yakuza/776

This board was made to handle some of the discussion topics that were common on Samachan but not so common on Sushichan. Japanese and Otaku culture as well as Anime-related discussions can go in this board, whether you were originally from Samachan or not. In addition, if you are from Samachan and you're not sure if your topic would fit in one of our other boards, you can post it here. If the moderators think it would be a better fit for another part of the site, it might get moved.

Sushichan Guidelines
* Read the rules! Also take a minute to look around.
* All conversations should be comfy and use polite language.
* Less comfy conversations (within reason) can be had in /hell/.
* NSFW content goes in /lewd/. Keep 3D threads in /lewd/ to a minimum.
* Site meta discussion goes in /yakuza/.
* The /culture/ board is mostly for literature and artwork, despite the name.
* Cute stuff goes in /kawaii/, but it is an SFW board.
* The /arcade/ board has been expanded to include all kinds of games, including tabletop.
* Keep most Japan / Otaku / Anime related topics within this board.

For many sushis it's their favourite season of the year, but will it also be their favourite anime season?
Let's find out!

NagBou is hella good, what are you talking about? It's sickeningly positive, overflowing with that optimistic genki energy, with the right amount of healthy babes and fun OP/EDs. Andrey might suffer from Ainz syndrome but that's because he wields the greatest power in the world of shounen without realizing it. 3 episodes in and it's yet to disappoint.

Memorability is overrated. There's nothing bad about a good story sticking to its strengths, then waving goodbye in the end. Lots of shit shows have lived on through the decades.

I guess so, we just are using different definitions of good then. It's very enjoyable so far, I'll agree on that much.

Talk about what manga you've been reading!

I've been reading an older manga called Yume Tsukai by Ueshiba Riichi. It's about magical shrine maidens with weird powers solving paranormal mysteries and stuff. Fairly standard concept but what makes it good in my opinion is just how crazy and bizarre the stories get, as well as some really fantastic art and a nostalgic sort of comedy. It's sometimes goofy, sometimes quite emotional, and other times borders on Junji Ito-esque horror scenarios. I really like the creepy body horror stuff, and the comedy between the weirdo cast is fun. I especially like the over the top lolicon character.

I've been trying out a couple different comedies to see what sticks. I think my favorite so far has been SE, which is pretty goofy but has some straightforward romance that helps drive the plot. Kindergarten Wars seems to be getting better as it gains its footing. Skeptical about ImoSae but Nayuta is cute.

I haven't been big on romcoms for a while, or posted on this board for a while, but I got recommended two that I think are pretty good (so far, both are only two chapters).

One is Himegasaki Sakurako wa Kyou mo Fubin Kawaii; it's about a destined loser childhood friend who is determined to kill all the loser flags before they ruin her love life. Without spoiling much, I think it's pretty funny but also pretty cute. It moves along at a fairly quick pace, too; no Nisekoi stuff going on.

The second is Arakure Ojousama wa Monmon Shiteiru. I won't say it's high fiction or anything but it is shockingly emotionally mature for a romcom and also moves along quite quickly. I suppose it's something like Kaguya-sama if it were more horny and less slapstick and dragged out. The author apparently got pregnant halfway through and went on a hiatus but things are moving along quite quickly in this one too.

I guess I don't actually dislike romcoms, just ones that are dragged out with MCs that have the personality of cardboard. Both of these series have active translations so if any sushis pick it up I'd love to discuss it here! I personally think the first is funnier and the second is sweeter but both were really enjoyable to binge.

ImoSae is pretty trashy but it's passably fun if you just accept it for what it is, which is trashy comedy based almost entirely around sex jokes. How did you like it in the end, did you drop it?

This. Mediocre and a bit disappointing. Its basically thinly veiled propaganda albeit entertaining. The visuals and setting were enjoyable, if not exactly unique in hindsight, but overall the show lacks polish. There's a real warmth to the show but it wets the bed with unimaginative camp and the mix of realism and fantasy elements is poorly executed. I can't say I didn't enjoy some moments, but it feels like I wasted a day watching this.

I don't mean that in a bad way. Kamichu is a good show just a bit frustrating at times. I enjoyed it even if I was a bit disappointed.

It's self-aware and maybe ironic in that the MC might read a light novel but it doesn't bombard you with obnoxious self-deprecating meta jokes, it embraces elements of the harem genre while being down to earth about it.
I also can't see how overcoming a rejection, keeping your head high and accepting yourself while not feeling compelled to get into the MC's pants makes them sluts in any way, it's quite frankly the opposite of self-degradation.

One thing I especially love about boccrock is that it doesn't hold its punches or make excuses for the several characters who are pathetic freaks, and yet it still manages to be kind to them. We see abnormal or self-destructive types of characters pretty often in it who in other manga might just be a source for gags or contrasted to the more normal main characters but are in this one portrayed as competent and valuable even while they are made fun of. The fact is rock music is not really that popular in the mainstream anymore and a lot of the people in the scene are kind of weird or have addictions or other social problems so it kind of reminds me of the scene in real life in how people like that are just there and everybody accepts them as part of the action.
