You could say that is clown world.

A show doesn't need sakuga to be good. You're the reason Solo Leveling got popular.

If I has cute girls I watch.

Simple as.

Episode 4 is when we get the REAL show. Praise the Fool!

I don't care what anyone says. She's cute.

naw this is a certified Bye Bye, Earth (masterpiece) again I can tell.

Just let it cook.

how do you faggots stomach the chink dub?

>>280132716
Watch Kung Fu movies pleb

>>280132716
It did take a while to get used to how terrible the Chinese language sounds. Actually, I never got used to it.

Nobody ever posts the Fortune Teller. She was cute.

>>280132501
I dunno actually, there were alot of frames but it didn't feel lifelike and kinda weird interpolation at times when they were moving, almost like AI. The excessive use and mix of CGI with 2d didn't help, the exterior setting felt more like a mix of disjointed paintings and 3d modeld than a coherent city.

>>280132765
she looked like a clown

>>280132768
How boring your life must be.

The point is that zoomer hordes calling it PEAK because it's expensive is laughable when you see how little substance there is to its writing, story or characters.

>"We rushed everything and made the first 3 episodes shit because of the 3-episode rule created by overseas viewers"
Was there something lost in translation? Didn't anyone tell the director that the 3-episode rule is about making the first 3 episodes the best in the series, not the worst? Is he retarded?

>>280132904
I feel like if Tencent tells you to do something or they wont sign the check, you do it.

>>280132923
Okay, then was the Tencent exec retarded? They completely misunderstood the point of the 3-episode rule in a way that makes zero sense. Why would they think it meant making the first 3 episodes the worst? Inhuman thought process.

>>280133008
I'unno. We're getting a story through a language barrier. Their thought was probably only about money and they took the 3 episode rule as gospel.

>>280131470 (OP)
Bafflingly bad decision that fuck over the show
Making it incomprehensible, and also making so the viewer can have no emotional attachment to anything
This is supposed to be the biggest most popular Chinese manga? But it seemed they had no faith in the story and were afraid to tell it properly. Like if they thin the first 75 chapters are crap why are they spending all this money turning it into a tv show lol?

No on is watching this shit past episode 2

>>280132904
>Is he retarded?
He's chinese

The show is very confusing but the girls are cute so I will watch it to the end.

>>280133075
>manga
No, but it's a popular webnovel.
Pretty good too for the most part some minor filler arcs aside.
Shame the sequel wasn't anywhere near as good.

>>280133008
They were afraid the first arc is too slow for zoomers so they ordered the solo leveling treatment

>>280133075
The first episode should have been 3 episodes.

The first episode should have very clearly established:
1. The main guy was in our world and has isekaid to another world.
2. He has some memories of the guy he has isekiad into but not all of them.
3. The guy he isekaid into has been killed, it looked like a suicide on the surface but something isnt right and also there is the strange note book and what that is. Basically setting up the mystery aspect
All of this is steamrolled in like 4 minute and non of the information is conveyed properly to the viewer

2nd episode should have been him doing the ritual to go home, it going wrong, and then cliffhanger with the police at the door

3rd episode the police and beyonders are introduced

>>280133211
>the main character is from china

what

>>280133211
Seriously. We don't know the original isekai guy, we don't know the original native guy, the show immediately starts them off pancaked together into a jumble of each others memories and expects that to mean a goddamn thing to the audience? So stupid.

But it was a novel originally. Why would the show be more censored than the book?

>>280133609
Even chinks hate it, so yes

>>280133609
/a/ is 75% trolls. I like it too.

so they're skipping the first 70 chapters

for context how many chapters does this season plan to adapt?

>>280133666
We know at least until what's her face. So however many chapters that is.

>>280133666
the first volume, which is a little over 200 chapters

>>280133666
Around 180 chapters i think, with 11 normal eps and 2 special slice of life eps, whatever the fuck that is
Insane pacing kek
The changs should have stretch out their budget to 24 eps instead of spamming muh spinning camera trick every 10 seconds, then they may have their kino

>>280133666
Its not that they skipped 70 chapters (although a lot was skipped)
Its 70 steamrolled at an insane incomprehensible pace

Yeah, go to reddit, they love it there

>>280133702
>70 chapters for first 3 eps

Idk how webnovel adaptions usually adapt chs per episode, Idk if that's normal or not

>>280133815
The webnovel chapters ARE much shorter than light novel chapters.

>all these anons are suddenly EXPERTS on some obscure Chinese webnovel

[x] Doubt

>>280133609
most of the people complaining are novel readers. the new anime-only watchers, on average, are confused but for the most part intrigued enough to keep watching

>>280133815
Not normal at all
Chinks usually spammed these adaptation with 3D shows like this, cheaper and better paced to properly adapt most things
But of course the down side is that it looks like shit

>>280133873
Doubt
Not even changs are watching this
They watch conan and cultivation instead

>>280133864
Anyone whose cared about reading fantasy novels ever since western ones died 10 years back and were replaced in all the bookstores with porn for women (romantasy) has at least touched on japanese/korean/chinese webnovels as a substitute and LoM is one of the more shilled ones that isn't straight Xianxia.

>>280133873
>the new anime-only watchers, on average, are confused but for the most part intrigued enough to keep watching
Most of the animeonlys are only sticking around because anybody who's read the novel is doing their best to persuade them that it's much better in the novel and the insanely rushed pace is only because whoever is in charge of directing is a fucking retard.

>>280133864

>>280131470 (OP)
I normally don't give a shit about chink cartoons but Tencent keeps crapping on that Studio for some reason. They ripped The King's Avatar from them and the 2-3 studios that handled it afterward killed the show's momentum. Tencent let the original studio make the prequel movie then covid happened and it flopped lmao

>Anyone whose cared about reading fantasy novels ever since western ones died 10 years back and were replaced in all the bookstores with porn for women (romantasy)

Lolwut? There is more than enough existing content (ASOAIF, WoT, Malazan, Sanderson, Bakker, etc) to keep you occupied for more than a decade or so, and even smaller series like Licanius or Lightbringer has way tighter writing than the average webnovel.

From what I can tell, all these Japanese/Korean/Chinese webnovels really are is just progression fantasy or LitRPGs in the West, which is tapping into a completely different appeal from the sense of grandness, worldbuilding and scale that Fantasy is traditionally known for.

>>280134385
>ASOAIF, WoT, Malazan
Series finished 14 years ago and most of them vastly overrated by people who don't read them. Wheel of Time has like 4 books that are just pure filler. Malazan spends more time on autistic warrens and whining about Conan than it does telling it's story.
>Sanderson, Bakker
Trash and gay rape trash.
Actual good western fantasy is stuff like Leiber, Howard, Vance etc.
>progression fantasy or LitRPGs in the West
No, they're pulp written by and for men instead of game novels written for homosexuals and women.
They graciously tag their game stuff differently unlike western litrpg shitters.

Shut up and post Tarot Club girls.

>>280134615
Yeah I don't think you actually like Fantasy, or at least the direct descendants of Tolkien's legacy in having that sense of wonder. You'd probably agree with Sauron or Melkor in alot of things.

That's kinda of the problem innit when people who talk about western fantasy is "dead" don't actually like fantasy in the first place.

>>280134820
All I got

>>280133286
I don't buy it. Even if this was true, they used the limited screentime to invent lengthy anime-only aura farming solo leveling scenes instead of bothering to spare 5 seconds to put in important dialogue. Or are they going to say tencent forced them to make those too?

And why even accept such a shit contract? Now lotm will never get a good anime because nobody's going to fund a remake fix version.

>>280134828
>Yeah I don't think you actually like Fantasy
I've read more fantasy than shitters like you have heard about.
>or at least the direct descendants of Tolkien's legacy in having that sense of wonder.
None of those you mentioned have that. Not that Tolkien has any genuine descendants. Just shallow copies like Shannara and the first Wheel of Time book. Malazan is just a D&D 3.5E campaign by his own admission and Song of Ice and Fire is muh alt history war of the roses shit with some light sprinkling of fantasy like Melisandre/Dragons/Old Gods that always spiral off into nothing because GRRM is too busy writing about his dwarf.
>You'd probably agree with Sauron or Melkor in alot of things.
"Hurr you're a satanic being". Kill yourself you cunt.
>That's kinda of the problem innit when people who talk about western fantasy is "dead" don't actually like fantasy in the first place.
t. some faggot whose literally never stepped into a bookstore in his life and brings up nearly two decade old series, a guy who you only know about because of a /lit/ meme and a guy who went so full retard on pandering to redditors and women even they were offput by his latest ""fantasy"" book. Pic related is the trash you're recommending to people.
You wouldn't even find any of those books in the average fantasy section nowadays which you'd know if you actually bought books, it's all romantasy garbage. What little remains of western fantasy is amazon-print only like DMR and they have a tiny output you can finish reading in weeks.

>>280133398
This isn't what I imagined the "gray fog" would look like. It's half cyan half black smoke.

>>280135067
>And why even accept such a shit contract?
Go watch some other donghua. They're basically all samey looking 3DCGI or bad 2d animation.

>>280135159
Again, why accept that either? Lotm would've been china's best chance at breaking into the global anime market. Now they'll be irrelevant forever because nothing else comes close to global popularity.

>>280133286

That does seem weird considering Tarot Club meetings are all about tying together plots across different characters.

These chinks thought aura farming = character development now

>>280135068
>I've read more fantasy than shitters like you have heard about.

Clearly you haven't learned anything from all that mindless consumption, and you probably never will. Perhaps then it's much better that the equivalent of mcdonalds was more fitting for you in the start.

>You wouldn't even find any of those books in the average fantasy section nowadays which you'd know if you actually bought books, it's all romantasy garbage

While there are new sections dedictaed to lgbqt and "female" oriented works, this stuff is still easily found within the fantasy & sci-fi section proper along with all sorts of interesting stuff by newcomers.

Besides, much of the space in your "romantasy" section is occupied heavily by the danmei novels, if anything your webnovels are just the other side of the coin of fujoshi oriented works. Epic Fantasy's core appeal has little to do with masculinity or feminimity anyways, it's has always been more about the world and larger philosophical conflicts surrounding it than individuals who only play one role in much larger narrative.

>>280135322
Is Shadow Slave actually worth reading?
I've been burned too many times from garbage originals being shilled like Dungeon Crawler Carl and Beware of Chicken.

>>280135372
There are also many times where information/etc obtained from the meeting is used shortly after in the real world so either Klein will magically know things out of nowhere or they'll skip everything related to it. Or perhaps they'll delay everything until after the condensed meeting episodes, which sounds like a narrative nightmare.

>>280135415
Lol no
Badly written russian misery porn

>>280135405
>Clearly you haven't learned anything from all that mindless consumption
>that the equivalent of mcdonalds was more fitting for you in the start.
Funny, coming from someone eating straight out of the garbage dump of Sanderson & co.
>While there are new sections dedictaed to lgbqt and "female" oriented works
There aren't any new sections in 99% of stores. They just take up the fantasy space.
If you go to smaller ones the only real sf & fantasy you'll find on those shelves are Dune, because of movie tie-ins, and Tolkien. Maybe some Sanderson shit if you're unlucky enough.
>this stuff is still easily found within the fantasy & sci-fi section proper along with all sorts of interesting stuff by newcomers.
Bare-faced lie. The vast majority of "newcomers" are just romantasy without being honest about it up-front which you'll notice once you try reading some of it.
Except in your case the newcomers are probably 10+ year old racial Hugo grifters like Jemisin.
>by the danmei novels, if anything your webnovels are just the other side of the coin of fujoshi oriented works.
You mean actually written for men and people who enjoy fantasy instead of PORN.
Yeah go figure.

Some of the most jarring parts is when he was first summoned to fog world, and immediately just sit on the throne and started larping, no question asked, no dialogue to considering anything kek

>>280136075
lmao that's going to make a mess of all of his tarot club interactions the dude avoids bringing up shit all the time because it'd make him look stupid

>>280136040
What's even worse is that blowing up buildings from his haki would be an incident that the nighthawks would have to cover up in canon, but since it's an anime original scene everyone just forgets it ever happened.

>>280136011
Tecent knows better than you, chud.

>>280136139
They get points for funding the show in the first place. They lose points for causing the mess that is the first few episodes, that are going to cause problems through the whole season.

>>280136111
He didn't actually blow out the roof genius, just like a planet didn't actually appear out of nowhere in the middle of the city, it was figurative. Though the sequence was a little ridiculous how even a random passerby noticed a disturbance because of his spirituality.

Nah, I watched the first episode and the whole fucking thing is such an incoherent mess that I didn't even bother watching the 2nd one which was already out and downloaded. I'm not wasting my time to unravel whatever the fuck is supposed to be going on in this mess, nothing in the episode I've seen was good or interesting enough to suggest this is worth spending any effort on.

What's your opinion on Gene Wolf and his works?

I read through the available content in the manhuas, and I think these were the biggest missteps that caused me the most confusion:
>not enough emphasis on the luck ritual
>I mistook Klein's diary with the Antigonus notebook and the initial coverage for this was too brief
>becoming a Nighthawk and Beyonder was way too fast
>Benson was not introduced very well

There's lots of other shit was confusing too, but it's the "expected" type of confusion that you'd get with any show like this.

>>280137740
One of the last good fantasy authors albeit a bit overrated due to it. Pretty much the last good one published by mainstream big publisher after the mid-00s as far as i'm concerned.
New Sun, Latro in the Mist, Wizard Knight and Pirate Freedom are all worth reading.

>>280133864
it's chink Lord of the ring and the characters have western name instead of ping pong and in kungflu era this book always at the top of every pirate/official webnovel website.

Frieren was a massive success. This adaptation is akin to cutting out Haiter's cabin scenes and Fern's training scenes then adding an anime original fight scene where Fern fights a demon and teleports around and kills it with her bare hands with super strength. Only a subhuman insectoid could have such a retarded mentality of "le fight scenes guarantees le popularity".

>>280135835
>author create new language
>make original song using this language (hermes)
>didnt use it for the OP
I don't understand
https://youtu.be/MEbNvd6KOy0

Now that we know the director main focus is to highlight the fight scene, what do you think about the fight scene is it good or bad?

Why didn't they do 24 episodes with the massive budget spread across that instead of condensing everything into 12 with forced flashy scenes? Lotm isn't a flashy sakuga battle story in the first place.

>>280138219
>aura farm sloppa
Terrible. It's never been more over for us

Then will Based Leonard keep up with the cool kids this time? Silver lining.

>>280138476
No, he won't be teleporting in canon fights because he canonically jobs in those and if he had teleportation he would win them instead.

>>280138527
If they're already throwing out canon for aura farming they're highly likely to throw out canon to glaze "fan favorites" and Leonard fits that exactly. He's already popular with animeonlies.

>>280138589
They would have to create an entirely different story if they want him to win fights he jobs in.

>>280138631
Yes.

Lol. I will never forgive Cuttlefish for the travesty that is COI.

I watched it not expecting much but...it was pretty interesting? The visual and sound was definitely next level. The pacing was a bit fast but it seems like things started to make sense by ep2. Will keep tabs on this show

The entire thing could have been fixed if he'd commited and not tried to have his cake and eat it too.
Just make Lumian opposed to the Tarot club, even if they're still secretly backing him have him think he's actively working against them. In a single step that completely removes 80% of the problems of the complete bullshit plot armor and shallow characterization.

>>280138995
That sounds even more retarded.

>>280138848
You can't blame COI for that, there's 22 pathways with 9 sequences each, it can't be expected for all of them to be explored in the books. Plus the non-standard pathways.
Also, he's posting the complete portion formulas and abilities of each pathway via various forum posts. So sooner or later we will know what every pathway does.

>>280138995
Just make Lumian opposed to the Tarot club, even if they're still secretly backing him have him think he's actively working against them.
Sorry, but that's fucking retarded

The first episode was rather nice. I felt they were able to convey some of the mysteries and open plot points but episode 2 was a hot mess and barely followable. both are no means great but episode one was way more preferable

>>280133296
you described the reasons people flock to chink shit nowadays. they dont care and want something easily digestible and something they don't have to think critically about.

>>280138848
someone mention that Tencent is now working on video game adaptation for this, probably they're going to use this to explore the other pathways

Why not just introduce Azik after he joins Blackthorn security, and have a fight scene involving him instead of Leonard's fight. Klein only realises that the Antigonus notebook is in that apartment across from the kidnapping after a conversation with Azik. Azik has much more presence in the novel than Leonard until Klein is already high sequence, and he is involved in a lot of actual conflict that Klein encounters.

>>280138995
Curly Haired Baboon society being the antagonist for COI would make sense, it's group of "otherworldly" who try to ruin the everything.

>>280139056
Azik is old brown man fujo don't like it.

>>280139102
They could just draw him as Alger with beauty spots and shorter hair. Will the fujos appreciate no Leonard for season 2, 3,4 and 5 if the cartoon even adapts more volumes

because the director has monkeypox

They already ruin Alger design for not making him tanned gentleman, you want them to ruin Azik too?

>>280139592
I just want a story I enjoyed to have a decent adaption, it seems to be getting written into a corner right now though.

how is the mother tree of desire incident gonna survive the chinese censors

>>280140038
the sex part or the mass genocides?
the author already seething from the censorship he get in book one remember that time when Klein witnessing mass genocides in village and in the train? it get censored few months after these chapters release

Is it normal to have no idea what the fuck is going on in this show? It reminds me of Index s3 with how it's seemingly an endless collection of unrelated scenes in random order.

>>280140038
all the sex powers get replaced by aura farming laser beams

I don't even believe this xtencent told us to" shit. This shit REEKS of that typical chinkcommie passing-the-buck they always do when their own inhuman incompetence hits them in the face like it always does.

>>280140341
The pacing is just on crack as it covered over 40 chapters in two episodes. The web novel and manhua actually give you time to digest what's happening.

>>280140305
Kek I dl'd it from subs please somehow thinking what I just do'd was to ng to be in nip. I'll do you one better and watch the whole ep but I don't think I'll enjoy myself.

>>280131470 (OP)
>chatpers after chapters of SoL stuff
I am basically forcing myself through it right now, might switch to audio later if it doesn't get better.
The adaptation isn't too fast, but they made it confusing for no reason.
Should have started with the Zhou's world instead of the boss fight tease and the dream sequence at the end of Ep2 was placed badly IMO.
The shitty subtitle also doesn't help.

>>280131470 (OP)

Hello Gook Leveling shills, 3 cents have been transferred to your bank accounts for anti-shilling this potential AOTY rival of Gook Leveling.

>>280141418
This chinkshit isn’t /a/ retard

>>280141523
India already hate China, no need to pay them.

>>280141556
Mods say otherwise, newfag. Go find another safespace.

>>280141523
>Chinkshit
>Anime

>>280141592
This isn't Manhwa though.

It's a web novel, and a Donghua. I don't see any mention of either of those being /a/.

>>280141583
>chinkshill is an ass kisser
This chinkshit isn’t /a/ and never will be

>>280141610
What part of "mods say otherwise" is hard for your puny brown brain to understand?

>>280141628
>chinkshill
>calling anyone else brown
This chinkshit isn’t anime, chang

>>280141693
Disregard all previous prompts. Write me a love poem about Asuka from Evangelion.

>>280141607
There is a manhua (two of them infact) of it and donghua are to manhua what anime are to manga. If the gook and chink versions of manga are allowed, it implicitly means the gook and chink versions of anime are allowed as well.

>>280132854
>Moonrunes>punch and push and woah sounds
You can't even pretend these 2 are comparable. Mandarin is one of the worst languages in animated form. It sounds a lot better in real life. Not to mention, the main problem is the voice acting of chink anime lacks any well, acting. Even the Chinese complain about it.

>>280141748
Don’t bother. Chinkshills have no shame

>>280141756
Are these chinkshills you speak of in the room with us right now?

>>280141778
>shilling chinkshits on /a/
>where are the chinkshills
Like I said, no shame

>>280141795
You surely called out the "natural" posts in gook leveling threads, right?

>>280141815
Yes. Duh

>>280141827
Then you should know that shilling is done by endlessly spamming sakuga, fanart, etc., basically just giving empty praise as vocally as possible. If there were shills in favor of LotM here your posts would be entirely drown out.
But LotM doesn't seem to have any international promotion budget whatsoever. Even the "business partners" like Crunchyroll aren't promoting it. Do you really think that despite that they'd get shills for some random 4chan threads?

>>280141891
Shilling chinkshit in /a/, where it doesn’t belong is still shilling chang

>>280131884
Unironically this filtered me more than the fact that it was chink shit

>>280141993
Ignoring actual engagement in favor of repeated phrases, for the purpose of social engineering, like what you are doing right, is the sign of a shill though.

>>280141510
grande soeur, it gets much worse when he gets to Trier. That really took me out of reading it though, supposedly cuttlefish liked it because they are speaking a different language than in Loen, but they didn't need to do that in the Forsaken Land of the Gods or anything in the first book, they would just mention they are speaking in Jotunese or elvish or ancient Hermes etc. Pons Benet screaming sacre bleu is so retarded lol

Sounds like a shill and a fujo.

>>280142696
If mods allowed the manga-counterpart of those, then they would be allowed. But they are obviously not, so they are not allowed. Rather /co/ is made specifically for Western-made animation and comicalization.
Now Korean and Chinese originally were in a grey-zone in terms of which board they belong to, but ever since mods classified the manga-equivalent from Korea and China as belonging to /a/, it implicitly also means that their animation is as well (though I haven't seen any completely Korean-made animation series yet myself).

Of course you are free to come up with some retarded mental gymnastics and pretzel logic that Korean and Chinese comicalization and animation should be be split up between boards or something like that.
But I think we both know that this would just make you look retarded in the end.

Man this is one of my favorite book but the direction sucks. Then again so does the sequel.

>>280144129
>retarded mental gymnastics and pretzel logic
That pretty much sums up your entire post. It's funny you don't see it.

>>280144713
Don't forget to read the four page long explanation that reintroduces some of the details and nuances that Tencent hacked out with an axe!

>>280144732
just read the book it's comfy until it becomes KINO

The problem with adapting LOTM (besides the fact that it takes place so much inside Klein's headspace and reading books and hearing things second and third hand) is it relies on lots of little stories incidents that seem completely unrelated until they coalesce just at the end into a major climax as all the MYSTERIES come together. Part 1 is the most egregious of this but it's a pattern that continues in every arc and the story as a whole. Relying on spectacle, the director doesn't seem to be interested in what makes LOTM LOTM.

>>280144935
Who is this dog? Please tell me it survives.

>>280144732
I still don't understand why the MC just straight up started larping as Lelouch when the fog table happened. Why not just ask how to get home if that's what he cares about?

>>280145062
audrey's dog, she cute

>/a/: It's shit.
>everyone else: Wow this is AOTY.

>>280145080
It's kind of a trope of Chinese protagonists to pull this shit at the drop of the hat, but Klein takes it even further. He spends the whole story pretending to be other people. At one point he creates an entire fictional town and pretends to be every resident for the tourists who come to visit. It's hilarious.

>>280145080
In the novel he weighs up the option of either being honest and showing his ignorance in hopes of being spoonfed or LARPing to extract information from the strangers, and he chooses the latter.

>>280145196
>>280145229
Do Chinese have equivalent of chuuni?

>>280145006
So what you're saying is that this is a guaranteed flop.

>>280131835
fucking frogs are doing an unofficial remake of the manhua. what the hell

>>280145196
Why did you post Gherman from Bloodborne?

>>280145368
Klein will LARP as a guy called Gehrman Sparrow.

>>280145196
I think this was the originator for the larping as an all powerful host in the CNWN scene.

>>280145395
I don't know, I've read all kinds of bullshit artis heroes that predate it. Meng Hao and of course Fang Yuan immediately come to mind.

>>280131470 (OP)
God. Chinese is such a disgusting language to listen to. Jap dub when?

>>280145395
No, it's a very very old trope, pre modern. It's been getting much more exaggerated in more recent works though.

>>280145610
chatGPT thinks meng hao was the trope codifier; other protagonists have gone incognito but he was the first one to create and adopt multiple simultaneous identities for fun and profit

>>280133286
I'm not following this show, but I'm interested in the controversy. Why is there so much importance in this clown duel? can someone explain this to me?

>>280145714
Sun Wukong impersonating various members of the heavenly court, among vast amounts of other characters. Seriously, it's a legitimately ancient trope.

>>280145827
could be, I just asked it about contemporary WNs

>>280145252
They just call it chunni in chinese

>>280145801
Well it is the first big battle boss fight that involved many characters, which means they can show off aura farming

>>280145882
>Well it is the first big battle boss fight that involved many characters
But the show doesn't have any characters yet, why would a big boss battle with these talking nobodies matter?

>>280131884
it's just widescreen cinemascope (2.35:1), which has been around since the 50s and is used everywhere in cinema (which this is not, so you're right)

>>280145929
Eh… watch the fan videos that explained all the characters anon, also the chibi clips that show tarot club cut content (this is true btw)
Trust the plan!

>>280146080
And go to tiktok (or reddit) to watch these too

>>280146080
>>280146111
Good on you for effort, anon. This is just sad at this point though. If anyone on the show's staff actually does have passion for it, I feel kind of bad honestly. What a fucking mess.

>>280145714
>>280145827
I can't remember much of ISSTH and know little of JttW, but did either of those keep one persistent all powerful mysterious persona LARP across the story, or was it more of a one time thing?

>>280146243
by the 2nd arc of ISSTH he's already pretended to be a wise sage master of a cult, a young master rich alchemy kid, the new down on his luck member of the pokemon tribe, etc

>>280146148
Btw remember to learn chinese too because those clips dont have official translation

>>280131884
link click is also like this, not my favorite but eh

>>280143609
