  • The self-titled album felt like the story of an innocent boy, Helplessness Blues felt like that boy was heading out into the big world, and Crack-Up feels like the consequences of that, and the loss of innocence.

    Fool's Errand is one of the best tracks on that record for sure.

  • [DISC] My Hero Academia - Chapter 393
  • It really feels like Ochako has some weird fixation on Toga, rather than this capacity for empathy that the author is trying to convey, yeah. This is making Ochako look like a bigger weirdo than Toga to be honest.

  • Uitslag FM-frequentie-veiling
  • Iedereen doet er goed aan om zelf zn muziek uit te kiezen in plaats van het over te laten aan zo'n presentator of wie daar ook verantwoordelijk voor is. Als iedereen hetzelfde luistert en hetzelfde goed vindt wordt t zo'n saaie egale meuk.

  • [META] Should we allow bot posts of chapters?
  • Personally I like the idea that the chapter is posted by a fan of the series so that they're relatively likely to respond to comments on the chapter. Y'know, have the idea that at least one person is invested in the thing being posted.

    Edit: in addition, if I wanted an overview of every single new chapter, I'd just go to mangadex. I'd like an overview of chapters that people are actually interested in discussing, instead.

  • Unpopular Opinion: Isekai/Fantasy mangas should not focus on cooking
  • I agree, to some degree. I do enjoy reading about people bonding over dinner, but the specifics of the recipes does not interest me at all. Collection of ingredients can be fun though, as well as unlocking new 'technologies' for better cooking, or getting buffs from the cool meals.

    Yeah, people describing tastes that don't exist isn't great, but what bugs me more is that somehow the most dangerous monsters generally taste the best. Are you telling me that these tough-as-shit orc and dragon muscles are gonna taste better than those cows bred specifically for the purpose of optimizing tastiness? I'm not buying it.

  • What are some of your favorite rock bands?
  • Radiohead! Proceed with caution, not all of their albums are rock music.

    I'm one of the weirdos buying into the hype of black midi, BCNR and Squid as well. Give them a shot. black midi is probably the most experimental of the bunch.

    There's also Interpol, Arcade Fire, The National: the usual suspects. Dismemberment Plan, The Mars Volta, Porcupine Tree. Some more recent indie rock: Pinegrove, Hop Along, Indigo de Souza.

    Your mileage may vary, of course, but they're some of my favorites.

  • Thoughts on D-frag?
  • 'Retort based comedy' is certainly the correct description for this style, and it seems to be a staple of Japanese humor. The whole boke+tsukkomi schtick, right? It seems that for a lot of people, the retort is effectively the punch-line, but to me it feels more like a laugh track. Not necessarily a bad thing as long as the jokes or the antics are good, but you can get the same problem that, say, The Big Bang Theory has: tricking people into laughing at unfunny jokes.

    I haven't seen/read enough D-Frag to tell if this is the case for it as well, but I do remember checking out the show and being uninterested in watching the second episode.

    The funniest manga to me are still Grand Blue, Kaguya Wants to be Confessed To, Nichijou, Hinamatsuri, Chio-chan no Tsuugakuro, Jitsu Wa Watashi Wa (that one is very retort-based actually) and I'm probably forgetting some more. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun was pretty funny because of the outrageous misunderstandings that kept piling on top of each other. Komi-san used to be great but kinda fell off a little bit. So make of that what you will.

  • what was your first physical manga?
  • I do think it's a shame that the spirit possession got scrapped entirely. I would have liked it more if it remained a tool in their arsenal, rather than being completely overshadowed by Oversoul. I think there were a couple of chapters where an enemy disabled everyone's Oversoul abilities, and Yoh had to be possessed by Amidamaru again for the first time since volume 3 or so.

  • Favorite ongoing manga?

    What the title says. Which are the series that you're currently following, and that you're always most excited to see updates for?

    Gemeenschappen waar vraag naar is?

    Een draad om te polsen of er interesse is naar bepaalde gemeenschappen die gemaakt kunnen worden. Ik begrijp dat het niet per se noodzakelijk is, maar zelf zou ik liever een nieuwe gemeenschap creëeren als ik wist dat er gebruik van gemaakt zou worden. Zeker als het een Nederlandstalige is, waar mensen van andere Lemmy-instanties niet zomaar naar zullen graviteren. En misschien kan er gebrainstormd worden naar namen.
