Although my first anime was back during early childhood (back when anime programme block was a regular thing in Indonesian television). Vulcan just really started following anime seriously during junior high school back in 2012 (classmates are into Attack on Titan and Sword Art Online during that time, and we often chatted about...
Are there any good "feminist" #anime out there? It doesn't necessarily have to have overt philosophically #feminist themes (but it def can), just anime that have well-written, well-rounded leading women characters.
A lot of the anime I consume has mostly hypersexualized women characters (I don't go out of my way for that, it seems like it's just kind of a staple of the medium). For instance, I really like shonens, but they can be super fan-servicey. I'd like to shake that up.
I know there are some great Miyazaki characters, but other than that, I'm not aware of many others. #Recommendations are very welcome.
EDIT: I wasn't expecting so many replies! 0.o Looks like there are some awesome recommendations here, thank you all so much! ❤️
Just learned about #DecRecs! To make up for yesterday, Day 1 of Dec Recs I'll recommend this Chinese short animated series "All Saints Street" with four seasons. An angel, vampire, mummy, zombie, and werewolf live together. What could go wrong? Really enjoy it for the combination of great art, slice of life, and the supernatural. There's also a comic. It's produced similar to "Hey your cat ears are showing" but more memes and skulls than wholesome uwu. https://anilist.co/anime/114555#anime
Dang... I know fansubbing is becoming less and less common these days, but it feels disheartening trying to reach out repeatedly to offer help to what groups still look like they're active only to be told they're likely quitting after their last ongoing project. This has happened several times now.
I really want to try and preserve some older shows for easier viewing and help with that but I'm nowhere near fluent enough in Japanese to tackle that on my own yet (and to be real, probably won't be for some time). I can set up subs, time them, do QC, edit, and just about everything else now and wish I could use those skills to do some good.
the transitions from 2D animation to the CGI stuff in this show just keeps making me think of a video game where the cutscene transitions into actual gameplay. also the ending of this clip feels very much like a video game tutorial
(also also, you only get 2 outfit slots in this cyber future? it really is the coming Metaverse dystopia)
#QuestionOfTheDay: what's your video game, anime or manga hot take? Like an actually scorching hot take that you actually believe and would cause controversy.
*As an example of the kinds of takes i mean, on the radio they did sports hot takes and 3 that came up were:
any NBA player over 6'7" could become a professional soccer goalie with only a month of training
an educated sports fan could do about as well as any professional GM at drafting 1st round picks over a 10 year span just by following general scouting rankings
a decently fit person could rush for 1 yard in the NFL with a good enough O line
Girls Band Cry is the fantasy of having somebody who cares when you have a trauma-based meltdown while out with them and will go after you to find out what's wrong instead of continuing the fun without you, oblivious to your distress
Ça y est, j'entame mon thread sur les séries d'animé de la saison et ce que j'en ai pensé. (#anime#bilandesaison)
On commence avec le pas ouf "réincarné en distributeur automatique" qui s'avère être un piège redoutable : on regarde le pilote parce qu'on se demande comment ils vont construire une histoire avec un concept aussi pauvre, on continue parce qu'il y a des idées rigolotes..
... et au final, arrivé en moitié de saison on s'aperçoit que ça reste quand même très moyen et qu'on est pas "distributeur-automatique-sexuel."
I watched and really enjoyed the first season of Cells at Work and like the premise of Dr Stone. I also love biology so I’m definitely biased lol, but what do y’all think?
Now you can have working QR codes that look like artwork: Redditor creates working anime QR codes using Stable Diffusion
On Tuesday, a Reddit user named “nhciao” posted a series of artistic QR codes created using the Stable Diffusion AI image-synthesis model that can still be read as functional QR codes by smartphone camera apps. The functional pieces reflect artistic styles in ...continues
So I once did this before on the aliensite (?) but now I'm on here, I'd like to see y'all's thoughts.
One of my favorite top 10 videos on Youtube is Cinefix's top 10 emotional moments in cinema for how it makes me feel and for the ways it explores how cinema affects us. For this thread, I'll make a post for each type of moment and I wanna know your favorite moment of that type from #anime, #manga, or any related medium.
So, #anime folks, why ISN'T there anything else out there like Madoka Magica?
I get that it's kind of the penultimate Magical Girl But REAL anime, but it's bizarre that it's almost the only thing like that. You'd expect it to inspire an entire genre, like happened to isekai, but nothing?
Google translate is horribly wrong in thinking that the anime "Delicious in Dungeon" is "Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon" in Japanese.
I'm guessing that google thinks that Anime + Dungeon = DanMachi.
How did you get into anime?

What do y’all think about science anime (eg. Cells at Work, Dr Stone)?
