This thread was in the old /bun/ and it got me hooked on moe music. It seems there were some people interested too so let's share some denpa and moe music!Denpa song (電波ソング) is a Japanese slang term to describe a kind of music which often features intentionally off-key vocals, weird lyrics, and an extreme ability to get stuck in your head. It’s usually extremely up-beat, happy, cute and ocasionally fast. (from last.fm)Many eroge and anime fans may already know some songs without realizing it. Most of it is doujin music, but it has been getting mainstream attention with moe anime openings like Ika Musume or Mitsudomoe.Best english source: http://www.denpanosekai.com (and a nice sampler by them: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSFqO4kQOkY)An example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XNSbgOMp7jQ(Album from picture: U - ULTRA☆U -GALAXY- http://www.mediafire.com/?6ycom4azl9q627u)I hope the guys from the last thread are still here!
>>40842I don't mind.
>>40842To be honest: I don't give a shit.
>>40842This is amazing.
>>40842Her tits are too big. A female denpa fan should have a flat chest.
>>40847A female denpa fan should also, you know, look female and not like a man in a wig with balloons in their shirt
Can we revive the manga thread? It had some great suggestions and I haven't yet checked them all. If everyone can please repeat their suggestions it would be great. Thanks in advance.(Image is Hiroki Endoh's Eden: It's an Endless World!)
Finished re-reading Buddha, and it was every bit as good as last time I read it, maybe even better. Fantastic manga, I'd recommend it to everyone who's interested in a good story, regardless if he likes comics or not.Thinking of moving on to Black Jack next, mainly because of this: http://youtu.be/9elNqC8c38k
>>40315I had mixed feelings about this manga. Art is nice, but I didn't really like the storytelling, and the vague hints about shit they don't feel like revealing yet were little repetitive. I don't like the MC too much either, but I enjoyed everyone else well enough - especially Natsume (his backstory made me ;_;). I liked it enough to read more, but I don't feel the same affection for the characters as I do for those of Prunus Girl or Hourou Musuko.
I haven't been reading jojolion but this is interesting.
I've been reading Onani Master Kurosawa lately, and I like it. It's not some masterpiece, but it's sort of fun and there are some nice moments.
People who purchase otaku goods,what have you recently bought?I just got the limited edition Blu-ray collectors cut of Summer Wars.It came with a hanafuruda set using OZ characters,ehich was really neat but kind of useless since I don't play card games.The director's commentary disc was cool though.Next on the list is this if I can find it somehow:>http://pokeseed.exblog.jp/11195141/
>>40792I thought you were told to stop doing that. Even in /jp/ is frowned upon, so why do it here?
>>40795You're not the boss of me, jack.
>>40795
>>40791What's this Moe Jingya you speak of? I'd like a lewd cartoon sex pillow.
>>40820It's a circle, I guess. I've never heard of them before so hopefully it's good quality. I'm certainly paying for good quality.It should arrive tomorrow. I'll report back in with my findings.
The next season is almost upon us, and thus it is time for a new thread.Fate/Zero is about the only must-watch in there for me.Might take Upotte, Hyouka, Tasogare OxA, Jormungand, Acchi Kocchi and Nazo no Kanojo for a spin, see if they're any good, though I don't expect any of them to blow me away.The whole season looks a bit average, really, but someone winds up saying that every season, so whatever.
Man, they must've saved a ton in this episode of Hyouka. It's just people sitting around talking.To their credit, they do attempt to change it up by moving around the house.
So...Haru: AssburgersNatsuki: Daddy issuesYuki: AutismAkira: No friends ;_;This could be turned into a beautiful Hallmark film.
Sentaro is so good. I hope both of them stop bothering with their love issues and just enjoy the company of each other forever. No homo, really, their bromance is just that great.
Finally got around to watching Ep 3. Shit I wish I hadn't been spoiled about it on here, as I thought the mystery was pretty good this time.The infrared sensors were pretty reasonable, though unexpected. Reasonable in that you can get those for cheap pretty easily. So was the motive for the 3rd year to go great lengths to cover up the fact that he's a smoker.Also watched Ep 6 of Accel World. The battle betwee Taku and the others from the Blue Legion left me befuddled. Snow Black dueling him at the end was also a "wat" moment.
I want Fujiko to steal my purity ;_;Omega was alright, though I wish the animators cared for Kouga and Souma as much as they do for Yuna.
There's at least... four people watching Smile Precure here? Anyway, that's like half of /bun/'s active population.
>>40740I want Nao to be my wife, and Akane our friend with whom we get shitfaced all the time.
If only Candy wasn't the worst mascot in the history of anime, this show would be almost perfect.
Yayoi is such a fujoshi.>>40735If I'm going to spend most of the rest of my life with one girl I'd like her to not be boring as fuck. Nao 4 lyfe.
>>40740>>40794You can talk good things about your favorite girl without talking shit about my Reika. I'll punch you in the face. I traced back your IP and I have your home address, I live near both of you.
So how did everyone like the first real fight scene?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dragon%27s_Dogmahttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NrCiV4LOYk4&feature=player_embeddedHoly Shiiiiit.This game is going to be the supreme lord of all RPGs.GOTYAY forevermore until actual immersion VR develops.
>>40133I have to say, you have really disappointed me. I hadn't really heard of the game until I watched the video there, and then after I watched the video, I decided I wanted this game and was ready to go buy it. But it's not out till May :/
My favorite part of skyrim was how enemies still had alert dialogue when you sneak killed them, so you would have people say things like "im gonna make you regret coming here!" as they fall to the ground dead with a severed windpipe
>>40219NEVER SHOULD HAVE COME HERE
This game just seems better and better.http://youtu.be/_c8krHCKHDI?hd=1http://youtu.be/qEsVmmXQqWA?hd=1
Not really sure how I missed hearing jack doodly squat about Dragon's Dogma before reading OP's post but I'm actually pretty excited for this game. Looks like a fucking top tier time sink.

New general anime thread for the Autumn season.
>>40320>Is that for season 2 or 1? I recall season 1 bombed pretty hard in Japan.That's for season 1. And 6000 is not bombing. Season 2 is selling worse so far, by the way.And even still. Let's assume that amazingly, Last Exile sold the same number in the west as it did in Japan. Let's say the Last Exile DVD Box Set sold 5000 units in Japan, and 5000 units in the west. Even then, the western sales are relatively unimportant in comparison to the Japanese sales.For the western release, you have to pay for translation, dub actors, etc. Not to mention the original studio doesn't get the same cut of the sales profit, because the company localising it gets a cut as well. Add on top of that the price difference. DVD box set in America? Around 50 dollars retail price. In Japan? Around 300 dollars. The western sales do really very little in terms of facilitating additional seasons. It just isn't that profitable. FLCL getting BDs? Ok, whatever. FLCL sold significantly well in Japan. It getting BD release has nothing to do with the west. Ghibli? So what? They already make tons of money on their movies in Japan alone. They don't really need the west to continue making anime movies. They simply just get more money. Halo anime and Mass Effect catered towards western audiences? You don't say! Could it have anything to do with the fact that their creation was/is financed almost entirely by western companies? Meaning it has very little to do with Japanese considering the west and more to do with Microsoft et al throwing money at animation companies for their own purposes? Comment too long.

>>40323I was never talking about Chihayafuru. You were talking like the west has no impact at all on Japanese anime, and that's wrong.
>>40324All I ever said was buying the western BDs will not result in additional seasons, as it does very little for Japan. Then you start talking about Ghibli and Halo like it means anything.
I CAN'T WAIT FOR NEXT WEEK
>>40324Actually, dude, by the time a license is picked up domestically the ship has long since sailed in Nippon. People who were gonna buy BDs have bought them and the rest is ancillary run-off.Now, the sales in Japan may influence whether it is brought to the West, but the decision has usually been made whether to green light a second season by the time the first BDs are made available overseas.Obviously, there are exceptions to this but they do not make the rule.
New general anime thread for older and/or non-seasonal anime. (ie. ones which don't fit into the current season based threads)
>>40777>dubWhat the fuck are you doing? The original has Tamura fucking Yukari as a slutty girl for the main character.
>>40780>>40785>>40787>dub>dub>dubYeah, I know, I know. I had already seen it with the original cast and it's definitely superior but I figured what the HELL, I own it now. Might as well give it a shot. Just saying. Compared to 99% of the English dubs out there, they actually did a decent job. At least the lead did.
>>40777Is that the actual name?I certainly am not getting any relevant results from searching around.
>>40799B Gata H Kei.
>>40803Thanks.
I'm reviving it. Did you make anything cool lately? Post it here!It doesn't even have to be cool actually, just made by you.
>>40689Natsuiro Kiseki. He mentioned the girl looked a lot like Nefelpitou because of the hair, so I decided to do this for him using the picture he had linked to.
>>40686Well done!
Digital painting that I worked on for re-application after a year of NEETing.Took the photo in Akihabara JR station in 2010 when I went to Tokyo for C78.http://g.co/maps/tjvmxAs close as you can get in Google maps.
>>39084How much better is the Create model compared to Capture?
>>40772Nice work. Turned out great!
