Hey folks! I’ve been radio silent the past few weeks for starting a brew job and vacation! However 3, 2, 1… Let’s Jam round two! #vinylalphabet with the Cowboy Bebop Netflix Series by Yoko Kano and The Seatbelts. I couldn’t pass up new recordings of these songs. So good! #animesoundtrack#anime#vinylrecords
En recherche d'anime japonais pour une ado de 11 ans qui est du genre très sensible, assez mature pour son âge mais pas non plus mature pour du Goblin Slayer.
Je regarde rien qui soit vraiment pour ce genre de public donc j'en appelle à vous Mastonautes !
Pour le moment j'ai Frieren, Bocchi The Rock et Sound Euphonium. Qu'est-ce que vous conseilleriez ?
Elle a déjà vu Assassination Classroom et elle a pleuré à la fin. Le Shojo c'est pas trop sa came visiblement.
Also started WIND BREAKERS #anime (which has 🇺🇸 dub) and found it strangely wholesome. The show is named for the distinctive windbreaker jackets worn by the local down & out high school as part of their school uniform. They're punks turned vigilantes who protect the neighborhood from other no good punks.
#FangWatch I don't recall Sumireko from Mysterious Disappearances showing fang, but here she is with a #LipFang at successfully bargaining for more coffee.
It’s a little weird when I hear a character in Waccha PriMagi! distinctly say “Card Get!” when a magical card is acquired, but seeing the subtitles at that moment say “Ensemble unlocked!” is a bit disorienting. :akko_what:
It makes sense to translate it that way for contextual reasons (“card get” being a uniquely Japanese way to use English loanwords when obtaining an item), but it just kind of twists my brain in a knot for that brief second when the words I hear and the words I see don’t match.
@anianimalsmoe I’ve actually never seen any Pokemon in Japanese before. When I got the DVDs for the first two movies a thousand years ago, they didn’t even have a Japanese audio track as an option on them.
AKB0048 also had something in it called Flying Get, though it’s been so long since I last watched it that I forget exactly what it was… possibly some kind of levitating stage platform for the Center? But I think they still called it Flying Get in the subtitles in that case.
I think Konosuba's "hai, Kazuma desu" joke might be the funniest, most well executed running gag in all of anime.
Kazuma's background/side commentary in general is hilarious but the extent to which Fukushima Jun subtly adjusts the delivery for every "hai, Kazuma" is absolute perfection. I actually laugh out loud every time
EDIT: Oh and for those unaware, it started as an ad lib by Jun-san. Not even in the script. Just tossed it out there and now it's infamous
If you are not into #anime just because it is anime and instead enjoy the ones that are just plainly the good stuff (imagine the sentence so far with 'wine' instead of 'anime' and you know what I mean), you might want to take a look at "#Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End".
It is so so good. Everyone rates it 9/10 and so do I.
Continuing to work my way through season one of K-on, and it's huge fun. It could never be described as plot-heavy, but like all the best slice of life shows, it's all about the characters, and K-on delivers in spades.
Episode nine was the most recent episode I watched, and it was hilarious to see the new club member Azusa get inducted into the light music club's method of band practice (basically, lots of tea and cake) #anime #K_on
