Yeah they did and the show immediately got better the moment it ended. The tournament arc was the weakest point in the manga too in my opinion but it was at least an expedient way to introduce a bunch of characters in one place that can be used later on in the story. A bunch of very very cute characters.

>>7207
This anime would greatly improve in quality if the focus switches to following the journeys of all the first-class mages (or whatever rank it is they got) through the north lands and getting to hear about Frieren's party by second-hand accounts, each of these guys eventually crossing paths with the group. The "tournament arc" may have been weak by everyone else's estimation and it made every other class (because as much as they try to disguise it, this is still a by-the-numbers RPG anime) seem worthless, but Frieren and her apprentice turn everything in a ten mile radius into a boring slog. Introducing so many interesting characters was the godsend that carried this show for the better part of its second cour. It really needs to rid itself of the nihilistic apathetic stink and a shift in characters would be a good way to kickstart a shift in tone. Then once everyone forgets Frieren has no emotions and her apprentice has negative charisma, the atmosphere around the main party can be attuned to the new normal and the warrior's antics will finally land, just in time to start the journey to the northernmost point of the map, where they can't possibly run across any of the other first-class mages anymore (unless there's a new demon king and they all band together to take him out).

Wow I should have read this before posting, it sounds like I hated everything about the show…

>>7209
Do you read the manga? If that's the kind of thing you want you'll probably like the chapters that come after where the anime ends. Or I guess just the second season since it's a pretty close adaptation so far.

i love freiren!!

I think they mean a certain index/railgun.

Doku doku mori mori

any more recs?

>loli fanservice
that's a rare pokemon tbqh
>gore
that's also pretty rare just by itself

with your demands you could just start looking up loli ecchi anime and then dismiss whatever you seem unfit
you would be done in no time i think
there have been good recommendations in the thread
if you don't need loli ecchi but just loli-themed anime, you could try mitsuboshi colors
vividred operation would be more ecchi but neither are particularly fucked up

Dennou Coil and Gunslinger GIrls might be up your alley. I haven't watched them yet, but what I've seen so far at least partly fits your description.

>>4038
absolutely crushed

>>4037
I love this so much

>>132
Seeing this again as summer hits feels exquisite.

>>4037
Absolute classic. Honestly, I can't watch stein's gate without thinking about this.

Check it out guys I found a tutorial on how to perform the kuzu ryuu sen from the hit anime Rurouni Kenshin (1996).

Next anime con I'm guaranteed to SCORE

You forgot sex voice 1.
I put up with one season of tate no yuusha because of this sexy mature lady.

and good game! what you like about it?

I own the first one they did. She's the only figure I own that isn't based on an existing character.
It came with a cute booklet with illustrated assembly instructions and mushroom information.

The two little mushroom figures next to her are unrelated mushroom figures, but they fit nicely.

>>5574
Ended up passing on this one, even though it was tempting.
>>5573
Now she is tempting me too!

I'd have to get them all.

>>5579
Wow! Very cute! I like the bonus mushrooms with her.

the other mushroom girl

>>5574
is it too late to buy them? I love this one especially

>>7042
The image you replied to sold in December of last year, so you are a tad late and you likely won't be able to get her for retail. But the second hand market exists. There is a preowned one on amiami for a little under double the retail price.

The black one in the initial post releases in November, but most preorders are sold out. If you want her you can probably pay attention to store fronts around when she releases to see if they get any extra stock. Same story for the attached image, preorder sold out on most stores. But this one releases in January 2025.

It's a set of figures I really love the appearance of, but I don't own any of them myself.

Not from Dallas, so can't come unfortunately. But I heard this is fairly similar to the original Kizu trilogy with content cut out? Though it must be nice to view it in a theater.

>>7008
Yes, there’s some content cut, and some content added, helping the compiled trilogy appeal to a greater audience. It’s Monogatari regardless, but I’d also like to say I saw this in a theater.

In theaters one day only. Be there!

One hour left!

Tensei Shitara Dai Nana Ouji Datta no de, Kimamani Majutsu o Kiwamemasu

>>6918
It's Tensei shitara dainana ouji dattanode, kimamani majutsu wo kiwamemasu. It's a local isekai (not to be confused with native isekai), which is enough to earn the ire of 9 in 10 saturday anime streamers. But once I saw the OP I knew there was something more to this anime than what first appeared (confirmed by the ED) and once again I was right and vindicated as usual.

>>6917
Do NOT let her appearance deceive you, she's a huge exhibitionist dork.

>also why did that lady stab her thigh
WATCH TO FIND OUT!

>>6923
Okay now what the heck is a local isekai

i want to be isekai'd onto nina's lap

>>6923
i still do not know what is a local isekai…

Oh I played a GTO one once that kept going into a QTE game where I had to jump Onizuka's motorcycle but I never got it
I can't read japanese so I really had no idea what I was doing but it was fun and the pachinko balls have a satisfying sound
Pic maybe related but I don't remember what it looked like exactly

Also my understanding is that it's illegal to gamble for money in japan so you have to exchange your pachinko ball winnings for tickets which you then take to ANOTHER "separate" business that will trade the tickets for cash? Is that real?

>GTO
Omg the 90s
Didn't dislike the show but I found it a bit boring
>Also my understanding is that it's illegal to gamble for money in japan so you have to exchange your pachinko ball winnings for tickets which you then take to ANOTHER "separate" business that will trade the tickets for cash? Is that real?
Don't know it myself but it is my understanding as well
The gacha thing is also of the same nature
People love to gamble but irresponsible gambling can ruin your life, hence the prohibitions I guess

>>6906
Yes but those other businesses are right outside or sometimes even attached to the pachinko parlour, so no one is fooling anyone.
You can also get prizes instead of tickets if you want.

Jomon has the power, but Yayoi has the brains.

Me

>>6912
Do you have some evidence to back those claims up?
>>6913
>Me
But how, and why? Those claims need to be substanciated

More interestingly, if Yayoi originate from Korea, where does Jomon originate from?
