Show me your pre-2000s 801 couples. Do your tastes remain consistent over the years

>>282175766 (OP)
I don't think my tastes have changed as all

I can't get into Chinese BL

>>282178097
I can't either and it's okay anon. I can get in to fanfic at least

>>282175766 (OP)
Yusuke bottoms. I think my tastes are pretty consistent.

>>282178480
I was never into to yyh how's the homo in it compared to other shounen from that era?

>>282175766 (OP)
Lupin III is still my favorite anime after all these years, so I'm nothing if not loyal.

>>282179111
It's a togashi anime so there is a lot of passionate male relationship, and one pair of actual fags.
If I'm comparing it to other shonen then I'd say not too much?
But I've been told I'm bad at picking up homo stuff so maybe try asking other anons.
For me it's the perfect amount and Yusuke is a great bicycle. Hiei too.

More super robot y things.
Kamille laments that char acts too much like a doting (mother) (and their relationship is a bit rocky because of it.
>Even so, I think it's annoying to have (char) acting like some know it all father figure.

I'm going to to choose to believe kamille is annoyed he's not being treated equally as a partner and is venting off some frustration. I'm heard plenty of people frustrated that they feel like a parent to their partner so why not the reverse?

>>282178097
If it's the ancient chinese aesthetics that filter you then there are scifi/modern series too. If it's the writing then welp.

we talked about here before. I was the anon that recc'd it

>>282178097
They are terrible and long-winded, their only saving grace is that they stray away from the typical "active seme chases a passive uke", but that's it.

God, how I miss the glory days of Hetalia, it's just unreal. Fuck everyone who talks about how bad everything was in the fandom in the past, I had fun, and I even became interested in history and ended up passing the exam with an excellent grade.

I wish i could get in to hetalia. well.. back in like 2009-2013. everyone was obsessed with it and I was sitting on the sidelines watching it wishing i force myself to like it.

They used to be the seme of the world.

>>282184301
No it's illegal.

>>282184400
Not so fast!

To the anon who recced Antidote, I caught up with it. Thank you for reccing it I really enjoy the losing seme's toxic mindgames and the protag's journey in recovering his memory, his status, and his agency, it's really cool.
Can't enjoy the winning seme for the life of me though, I already skip a lot of sex scenes in manhua because I hate their blocky souless anatomy and how prevalent the dicks are but yeah I skipped most of his sex scenes with zero regrets. I don't like how wholesome he's portrayed despite the fact that he never even ascertains whether his husband currently remembers him before kissing him. Hello? Basic precaution? Consent? At least the toxic seme is a stupid mess, a slave owner, and a harasser who probes his slave's asshole to check whether there's semen of another man in it and there's no room for dissonance about how horrible for it he is despite loving the MC. Absolutely love how pathetic this guy is and I will keep reading for him.

Seiji, my love...

>>282184833
I hope it wont be like all the new remakes they've been doing. I haven't seen this yet actually but i think all the old cel versions have had more charm than the new ones

>>282184833
Did they get the old voice cast together for this, or is it all "new" VAs?

>>282178097
Chinese people made a lot of good things but honestly, 95% of modern Danmei suck balls like other current day asian BL and I don't get the hype. If the purpose is to shill the Chinese then surely there are a lot of good classic Chinese that you can use to represent them

Galactic heroes is weird anon. The movie was great and I really enjoyed Yang a lot more than I thought I would have but the series had such a great start until about episode 16? episode 16-22 have been such a slog I'm considering dropping it. I don't even know what's going on because i've been zoning it out too much due to feeling like a slog.
Is this the lull before it picks up again? I know there's hundreds of episodes and all arcs can't be interesting but I still want to finish up until the part I got spoiled with my looking up something on the wiki sig dying for rein

Ranting I suppose. I'm going to keep watching and hope i get pulled back in to the world. I say and then snap attention back after hearing ikeda

this slimy fuck is so awful though.

>>282185455
Why were you on the wiki in the first place? Thats an awful spoiler. If really you didnt like the political intrigue and infighting of those episodes then the show itself might not be for you, but the focus on side characters fades as it focuses more and more on the main cast as it goes on.

I think you should at least watch until ep 35~40, if you dont like it anymore then feel free to drop it.

I havent finished it myself, but I am pretty invested now and will finish it.
>>282185579
Hes one of my favorites, I find him very sympathetic.

what is it about yaoi and robots. why is it such a divine combination?

>>282185934
Some episodes are great like 14 and the ending of 15. I liked his story and I hate everyone for fucking up his farming arc.

I'll try up until then at least. Thanks anon. I'm not sure why there was the sudden switch to loving it to quickly losing interest.
I was trying to find something out I thought i missed from the movie/beginning episodes but the wiki states it so frontly I thought i actually missed something or the wiki was wrong because of how early it put it on the page. I just used the fandom wiki. it had nothing on sig except that line I thought it happened in ep 5 and missed something

is it just me or does it feel like activity was suddenly halved all of a sudden on /a/ the last few days

>>282184792

Anon don't you recognize the seiyuu of our hero? Even if you don't like a machiavellian character his presence on screen is a blessing for the ears.

>>282184833
The old designs look extremely sensual for whatever reason

>>282187390
Ngl I only recently came across the concept of wire sex and it has left me intrigued.

>>282185455
Don't worry too much about not really knowing what's going on sometimes. I had no idea what were the names of characters speaking who weren't Yang or Reinhard until around episode 100. Just keep pushing through until Reinhard grows his hair. If you still feel this way then then you can drop it all.
Sorry about the spoiler btw, maybe I should have warned you not to go to the wiki. I learned it from the preview for the following episode myself. People are cursed to learn this piece of information in literally every way except organically it seems kek

>>282187883
Sorry he's not a seiyuu that I like so I don't even get enjoyment when he's on the screen

>>282188522
I cannot be helped, I suppose.

>>282185579
Oberstein is literally right every time. He's Yang if Yang wasn't a giant pussy. If Oberstein were in Yang's place he would have vaporized the Brunhild even if it went against Trunicht's order.

>>282187570
Damn I feel cursed with 3 x 12.5s now. I forgot that there's naturally more people here during the summer.

>>282188570
I wish I enjoyed his presence a lot more but he just reminds me of mr burns

>>282188505
That makes me feel slightly better because I still don't know who some of the characters are. I did actually learn from the wiki something and I skipped ahead a bit to some of the ovas of siegfrieds youth. those OVAs were really nice. In a way as much as the spoiler was kind of a big deal and I was really annoyed about reading it, reading the wiki did help me sort of choose the timeline of what things I want to watch at least. I didn't actually even know, for example, that there was a few movies. I'm really glad that I went and saw the movie after because it's my type of movie. the humor in it was pretty good.
>>282188697
Yes but he doesn't have Yang's sexy design and voice. I'm not going to read that spoiler either

>>282188697
Just because he is right does not mean he's correct ;)
>spoiler
Well yeah and it's reason why he has no enemy he's shipped with unlike the main characters.

>>282184301
There are constant fights on whether the 99 version is better than the 11 one. I personally like the 99 one more too I guess.

No one wonder all those threads died. Someone should just started talking about homo

This is exactly when I noticed it was well. Damn. I didn't expect that much of a user base here from that area I suppose

>>282188839
Same here. I haven't seen Amatsuki talked about in these threads, but the same director also changed the tone into something more mature

>>282188774

First ever yaoi ship too. Funny story about these two, I used to be a Demande/Usagi shipper and didn’t even know this ship existed because I was mostly exposed only to the old dub while growing up. Then one day when trying to search for some Demande/Usagi fics I came upon a whole site filled with fics with these two, at first I was utterly and completely weirded out because 14 year old me was all like “aren’t they brothers?! Also this wasn’t in the show or even the manga…” Intrigued though I couldn’t stop reading, mainly cause the author’s writing of the couple reminded me of my favorite hetship OTP at the time, so I couldn’t help shipping them at the end of reading too. Still I was perplexed, where was the author even getting this absolute crackship from?

Imagine my surprise when I finally got my hands on the original uncensored Japanese version of R and watched it through properly, apparently these brothers were subject to the same sort of censorship Uranus/Neptune got and were even considered canon to the 90’s anime back in Japan with several official supplemental materials confirming their canonicity. Because, Ikuhara.

Thus began my descent into brocon madness…

>>282184792
Is this one of those "gay but can't be stated out loud for censorship reasons" stories or just your average fujobait show?

>>282175766 (OP)
Not anime but recently I realized my first yaoi ship was probably picrel.

>>282189942
It's doomed yaoi really. More like "gay but the first party is simultaneously in love and oblivious while the other party is down bad and fully aware he's in love but doesn't want to threaten the roommate status quo. Also he has heavy shit to deal with and no time for romance in this timeline" basically.
Both the 1st and 2nd seasons are great, mucho recommend. I still haven't finished 3rd season though

>>282194664
I read that and I thought it was boring.
It's a shame because I was interested in it at the start since it reminded a bit of a Dickens novels, gritty city setting and happy coincidences included, but then the coincidental meetings started to pile up and it became mind-numbing.

>>282189928
Just read it, ok for an apparently very young author but it does not deserve serialization. Paper-thin characters and dialogue.

>>282194483
Besides what >>282194575 said, I would also blame BL growing too much during its first years and becoming a separate genre. Now everyone expect everything homo to be relegated to this one genre that rarely ever gives enough freedom to authors and make a big deal when there's homo anywhere else even though Japan has always been gay as fuck.

>>282195008
I feel like things can be fleshed out with the abuse angle, but I'm not sure if its really fitting with the magazine. Haven't gotten around to giving the other one shots a fair shot though.

>>282194478
NTA but I assume he mean Ryogou Narita it's been explained hundreds of times what he did with Shizuo/Izaya so go and lurk the archives but basically he bitchslapped their fujos And got bitchslapped back harder

>>282195151
This is why I'm starting to hate the people who think that fujos should only be into canon BL. So many editors think we can't handle anything with a plot and very few stories that aren't mundane romance get an anime. I want plot, scifi, mecha, sports drama, fantasy, all of that, which I can't get only with canon series. Fujos have always existed in non BL media and it inspired future BL writers, but now the industry feels more unwelcome to us.

>>282175766 (OP)
This is an easy one

I miss them and Tousen too
this isnt pre-2000s i just wanted to post them

Delusion never dies.

>>282175766 (OP)
I grew up on the dub and really liked them. Zoicite was my favourite. Then I found out about the censorship and 10 year old me both found out homosexuality was an option and became super mad because Zoicite was the BEST how DARE anyone say their relationship with Kunzite was wrong! No it is the world that wrong! In that instant, I became fujo.

>>282195856
>I want plot, scifi, mecha, sports drama, fantasy, all of that
You're never going to get any of that from anime. Even the gayest non BL anime like Bravern or YoI didn't have the balls to fully go through with it onscreen. Just read chink homo novels or something, those are plot heavy.

>>282196166
This show should have just been one big gay orgy

>>282196168
Fellow Sailor Moonfag how do you feel about all the other fujo ships in the anime like >>282189660, Fiore/Mamoru, and Fish-Eye/Mamoru?

>>282188989
I think initially the 99 anime staff thought Kurapika would end up being a girl disguised as a boy

>>282195003
That sucks, but it's understandable. The coincidences did happen often, but I just chucked it to both MCs being neighbors in a backwater town. Plus, it's a common enough tool that a bunch of media use, so it didn't bother me too much. The hook that got me to keep reading is when Fei was rumored to have killed his dad. The mystery of going back and forth on whether it happened and how was intriguing enough for me.

>>282196224
Fisheye was fantastic. Fiore also good. I hated Darien though.

>>282196193
What do you mean? It was the straightest Gundam show ever.

>>282195856
>This is why I'm starting to hate the people who think that fujos should only be into canon BL.
Only new age black zoomer shonen shitters think this.
It really is just people being too lazy to start their own series and preferring to goon or do gacha slop.
There're so many fujos that come up with insanely good AUs or original stories but never bother trying to publish them because they just want to goon to their OTP/OCxOC stories.

Really fujos are to blame for their own predicament, they are the single most artistically talented group that makes content but they never aspire for anything but (hot)assfucking.

>>282195259
>not sure if its really fitting with the magazine
How so? It doesn't need to be too graphic or anything to explore the trauma. I think it's possible to have it be done once proper serialization starts for it.

>>282196168
Was Zoicite genderswapped in other dubs too?

>>282196342
I don't know I just watched the english one on YTV.

>>282196306
>There're so many fujos that come up with insanely good AUs or original stories but never bother trying to publish them because they just want to goon to their OTP/OCxOC stories.
And is this different from the past?
It seems to me that the only reason we see more OC BL is because more access to them compared to when people used rely on scanlations.

>>282196338
Nothing serious, I just figured that the magazine would be gunning for more of a general/shounen/seinen focused crowd rather than a slow gay romance drama. Something with an iconic look a la One Piece to make the magazine stand out.

>>282196452
>iconic look a la One Piece
iconic?

>>282195008
>>282195259
Which magazine?

>>282196465
... Memorable then? A character design/premise that makes you go "right, that one"
>>282196532
Young Magazine

>>282196465
I mean, for better or for worse, One Piece has a pretty renowned image that resonates with a lot of people. Even its artstyle stands out from the crowd. I would classify that as iconic.

>>282196342
In the spanish dub for latin america they gender swapped him becasue for some reason they had the 1st season and R's dubs have synergy with the english dub. Afterwards they stopped and kept Fish Eye a homo and didn't censor Uranus and Neptune's relationship

>>282196775
>Afterwards they stopped and kept Fish Eye a homo and didn't censor Uranus and Neptune's relationship
What about Demande/Saphir and Fiore/Mamoru’s relationship? Did they censor those too? Did they ever dub Stars and if so how did they handle the Starlights being trannies?

>>282196180
I know but even without going canon they used to pander.

>>282197062
Since Demande and Sephyr are from the R season I'm guessing they got censored too, but I haven't watched it in a long time so I don't really remember. Fiore and Mamoru were kept more or less the same iirc
>Did they ever dub Stars and if so how did they handle the Starlights being trannies?
Went above and beyond by giving them male vas in their civilian forms and female vas when they transformed

>>282194483
>I miss when shoujo were gay who do we blame for this?
Regular shoujo was never really gay outside of mahou shoujo save for the rare Banana Fish type series which would get labeled as shoujo instead of BL. Shoujo instead has always been a genre dominated by yumejoshi self-insert ikemen or bishounen het romance & soap operas. Only magical girl shoujo dabbled in fujo pandering and baiting with its side characters.

As for why Mahou Shoujo itself stopped being fujo friendly? Blame Naoko Takeuchi who took it upon herself to invite the yuritroon audience into the genre with the Sailor Moon manga and her next planned work PQ Angels, both of which served as the influence for modern day magical girl franchises like Precure and Madoka, the genre has been cannabalized by the yuritroon incel ojisan audience ever since.

Imo people just expect to be pandered to in the same way by the same stories, fed in the mouth in an anime package given to them on social media rather than finding something they like on their own, that's why things have stagnated.

>only 90’s Ikuhara
Current Ikuhara is pretty damn great and more fujopilled than ever if Sarazanmai is anything to go by, the problem is that he tends to come out of hibernation and do a new anime once in a blue moon, and also switches between yuri and yaoi because he’s a bislut omnipanderer like that.

We talking about naoko again?

>>282197643
>We talking about naoko again?
No, Ikuhara her archnemesis.

This the naoko thread?

It's kind of ridiculous how hard it is to appreciate gay shit without somehow offending someone.

Incels get mad if there are men in the series at all
Dudebros get mad if their super cool action guys are shipped with other guys
Teenagers get mad if characters do anything but hold hands after signing five mutual consent forms if they're <18 (or randomly designated "minor-coded")
SJWs get mad if gay "rep" isn't there or is "bad" or "queerbaiting"

Jesus Christ make what you want to see if it's that important to you. I just want to see dudes kiss and fuck each other.

What’s your definition of “canon BL” here? Do you mean actual BL series like Gravitation or Junjou Romantica? Or does “canon BL” mean any canon yaoi ship in a non-BL series?

How come mecha is like pretty much the only anime genre left that reliablely fujobaits when both shonen and shoujo have abandoned us?

>>282197408
I remember reading many gay shoujo manga back in the day, none of them were mahou shoujo other than CCS. I could easily list 10 shoujo manga with prominent gay characters and storylines from the 90s/early 00s. These kind of stories were far from unusual.

>>282198373
>I could easily list 10 shoujo manga with prominent gay characters and storylines from the 90s/early 00s.
List them then, I could use an easy rec list anyways.

>>282198307
That segment was the most missed potential I've ever seen, they gave up after like 1 joke.

>>282198364
Because nobody watches mecha, any that don't are easily forgotten about (remember Kyoukai Senki? I don't. I had to Google it.)

>>282198478
>Nobody watches mecha
>appeals to fujos anyways
What sense does that make if no one is even watching it? Clearly they’re trying to pander to SOME type of audience…

And you’re wrong about no one watching it, Gundam is still a top 5 anime franchise at least.

>>282198524
Its just a joke about forgettable mech seasonals, don't take it seriously.
(Remember the Code Geass sequel? I'm trying not to.)

>>282187530
Yes

If you want to appeal to fujos just make a promare sequel.

>>282198364
Not that reliable, there's plenty that people expected but got nothing. Ultraman, Gridman, Darling in the Franxx, Eureka Seven, Eva betrayal, GQuuuuuuuuuX, etc.

>>282198364
let's see
>Go Nagai creates ecchi and fujobait. Mecha series like Mazinger Z were his
>Tomino claims fujos saved Gundam
wait a minute... maybe mecha is for degenerates
obviously

>>282198407
Hana Kimi, Yami no Matsuei, Shinshi Doumei Cross, Hakushaku Cain, Angel Sanctuary, DNAngel, Lagoon Engine, Uragiri was Boku no name wo shiteiru, Atashi wa bambi (this one has a straight ending), Tokyo Babylon.

>>282198680
>Yami no Matsuei
Wish the author hadn't gotten so weird about that. Look you gave gay rape as backstory to an MC and drew on screen snake rape. You need to just own it.

>>282198364
Shounen hasn't completely abandoned us. Kagurabachi has a handsome man for everyone and every ship preference with more on the horizon, and Ichi the Witch has that familiar "close and passionate" relationship between Ichi and his new bro. Harukaze mound also has the typical sus relationship between the battery. Kiyoshi in UEK is about to spend about two weeks sleeping over at his best bro's house and there's a pretty vocal group who ship his mentor figure plus the stoic slightly younger guy who's hung up on him.

If you want to get a bit more obscure, there's The God Before Me and it's boatload of men that idolise and chase after each other. And Empyreal Cabinet which has a bunch of old men trying to backstab without being backstabbed; MC and his extremely loyal retainer are great but he also has other friends, even one he played footsies under a table with.

Shounen's not dead it's just less on romance in general I think. Stuff like JJK and KnY were super successful without strong romantic subplots, so perhaps it frees up authors that don't really want to write one.

>>282198640
Trigger are surely allergic to fujobux. Imagine not following up on Promare at all.

>>282198680
I also remember homos in I'm gonna be an Angel!

>>282198860
It still flabbergasts me how hard they fumbled this shit. Not a single AU or altverse, no shota lio. Fucking nothing.
They really just took the cash, printed wedding rings and then fucked off.

>>282198307
We nearly saw Polyester raped by a machine... Thank you, Trigger.

I miss them

>>282199058
I wonder what the fujos who kept with part 1 for these two think now.

>>282198364
Shoujo went down the shitter on a whole bunch of fronts, but I still see BL/fujobait published in some shounen. Hell, I'd argue that now, more than ever, shounen pushes the envelope on how much explicitly BL they can get away with rather than skirting around the subject. You just have to look for it, like picrel is on Shounen Magazine Edge.
But, just like the other anon who replied to you said, the romance aspect in general is not as developed or doesn't happen as often anymore. Many shounen opt to cut down on the "fat" that is supposedly filler so they can focus on the action scenes/plot a lot more. This, unfortunately, is at the cost of character chemistry, and thus "bait" moments aren't happening as often.
So what you get is a bunch more shounen that know how to cater to fujos, but many are quickening up the pacing. So they either have to be more explicit before moving onto the next scene, or abandon any romantic affiliation, straight and gay, altogether.

>>282198911
I can't think of the last time an anime original popular with fujos got milked properly. SK8 is the most recent I can remember and S2 was announced years ago.

>>282199113
Last was probably SK8 but Promare and YOI were bigger. A lot of anime original stuff is too short to capture fujo attention so breakouts are rare.

>>282199075
Dennis' continued suffering is worth reading Part 2 for. Especially now that Fujimoto stopped being coy and went all-out with his opinions.

In other words, I'm glad they're not alive to continue suffering.

>>282199190
The funniest thing with promare to me is they did two hen episodes and cut it immediately.
Meanwhile gurren lagann got like twenty different AU shorts with one original MV.

JJK fucking sucks dogshit but the fan art was god tier. I wish there wasn’t a sequel to make me hate it even more.

I hope that sm schizo gets range banned. Y'all need new talking points

>>282199331
The sequel is very blatantly Gege wanting to write an alien story but not getting the green light to publish it in WSJ unless it's tied to JJK. He also wants people to like YutoMaki. ItaFushi and whatever the GojoxSuguru ship is are untouched (so far, he has plenty of time to ruin that).

Honestly I still don't understand JJK. Call me a speed reader or whatever but once Megumi was fridged for the entire last arc I was just skimming chapters. It had some bretty gud yaoi but man, the fights and pacing were all over the fucking place after the Shinjuku Incident arc.

>>282199482
what the fuck is sm???

>>282199113
>>282199190
GWitch, but that’s Gundam so I’m not sure if it really counts since Gundam is always courting the fujobux.

These days I find zoomer fujos are all flocking to Hoyoverse Gachas instead, Kaeya/Diluc from Genshin Impact and their whole “sworn brotherhood” is big with the baby fujos, but that’s more /v/ than /a/.

Nice

>>282199858
You're a few years ago. It's all some dude from zzz or w/e

>>282199888
There's a really fluffy guy in ZZZ that's actually pretty cute. Like man, Hoyo actually said aight let's make something for people who only like their husbandos 10% furry.

The rest, well, they're just popular games. CN can't blur the lines in M/M relationships as much as JP can, but they're still better about it than KR who only chase the incel gooners and yumejos. There's a chance that a CN game will remember fujin exist and toss in some Winnie the Pooh Approved Bait now and then at least.

>>282199037
'ESTER!!

>>282200031
It's sad they're stuck in a shit series thought. This new season isn't for me. The best dynamics are when they're on the screen.

Don't you love happy endings?

>>282199869
I'm anxiously waiting for the finale this weekend. Hopefully I won't get spoiled due to the early premiere some places are getting.

>>282200196
It's only a day early at least. Just avoid social media for a day.
I'm going to pre-order the box for the figures though. It's cn domestic so it's not too much. It took them a long time to color though. I saw the prototype for this back around EP 10?

God I love yas and his faggotry

>>282200120
this was probably based on that one vtuber who is an ultra shotacon to a suspicious degree.

Arion is honestly just delicious boy thighs the manga.
And then in the movie they changed Apollo?
> Manga is bright face
> Movie is sexy char face

The man knows what sells.

>>282200252
True, I'm going to stay away from most things tbhx for a day and that should be fine at least.
I'm debating on whether I should get those figures because I only really care about 2-3 of them, and I've heard that the individual boxes are random. At the same time, I don't want to just order all 6/7 figure set to guarantee no duplicates, just to only care about roughly half of them. Wish it wasn't mystery boxes themed.

Ywn have a homoerotic relationship with a giant monster

>>282200397
It's like 45$ for the whole set of 7. It's not expensive. It'll probably be better if you can split it with someone in your country.

>>282200393
>delicious boy thighs the manga.
Ah yes my favorite genre. Thank you for the rec

>>282200494
It's a fun manga. If you like Greek mythology you'll like it a lot. There is a het plot though. He wants to fuck his sister.

>>282200569
as expected of the greeks

>>282200594
Then you'll love it. The movie is really good as well. I just bought a few cels from it

Yes. Wish I could get a refund

Why haven't you read Sleeping Dead yet, Anon?

Cute husbands.

>>282200832
Ugly

So gay it killed the studio that made it.

Ignore the absolute batshit insanity that was the plot. You only need remember "I'll do everything a girlfriend would do!"

>>282200940
You're missing out, genuinely. It transcends the BL genre to be something extremely special and moving.

>>282200319
Really? It reminded me of a Megaman doujin where the end has a similar "don't do this at home" note.

>>282200832
I should re-read it for October.
Speaking of, I saw that there's someone who made custom nails of the two MCs. I think that's the first time I saw someone creating their own BL merch in the form of press on nails kit.

>>282200988
I'm pretty sure the quote he says is.

a reference to said vtuber saying he doesn't like real life shotas because they're noisy and annoying but someone pointed out that means he likes well behaved shota and he stopped talking for a second after reading it then continued off the list of the pros of shota

>>282201023
>BL merch in the form of press on nails kit.
it's common in nip circles

>>282201037
I've seen fake nails, but never custom press on nails kits. Are there other examples?

>>282201024
That's grim if I must say so.

alright anon I'm going to speed to 45 today. also holy shit??

>>282201066
I don't usually save them. Sorry I think they're cringe but last ones i saw were for okubade. I see them fairly commonly around though along with a lot more examples of going to a salon to get their ship art painted directly.

Why do women love psycho men so much?

>>282201169
>okubade
Ah I see. When I meant BL merch, I meant merch of an actual BL rather than a BL pairing since most actual BL don't tend to get large enough fandoms (at least, not for nip stuff) for interesting custom merch. But it's interesting nonetheless just how prevalent it is.

>>282200095
I'm enjoying it a lot
Funny episodes each surprising in some way, good fanservice, great manservice too.

Kemobrief is cute. I can't even think of any Conan-type show where the damsel was a kemono so it's definitely some animator's fetish.

>>282201328
anon i'm curious about something. What's your age or age range/demographic?

I've only made it halfway through the first season, but I'm really loving Charisma House. I thought it was about idols at first, wasn't expecting Osomatsu-san on gay steroids. Love all the charismas, even the ones I expected to not care about(like Iori, Terra, and the purple whore) Thanks for posting about it, anon

>>282200947
This show was way too ahead of its time. And now it’s virtually lost media.

>>282201357
I don't see how it's relevant

>>282201457
Nah I was just curious about whether the newer season appealed to more in the young adult age range like the first season was aimed at the 16-23 demographic. i'm in the 30-35 age range and most people i talk to seem to think it's not for them anymore despite liking the first season

>>282201451
Aren't there any torrents for it?

>>282201542
Yes but it’s basically impossible to own on physical media, is what I mean.

>>282201576
>basically impossible

not that anon but I'm in that range and I'm pretty neutral about it, but I was also pretty neutral about first season too. Honestly just waiting for more Brief.

>>282202043
Yeah, it's pretty good. Hiroja is a phenomenal artist and he definitely has a thing for business suits and mentally ill men

Why do fujos love evil men so much?

>>282200725
I don't think it's even a BL, it's one of those generic SOL with luke warm plot made by fujos who just want an excuse to draw their OC in a setting.

>>282200569
>He wants to fuck his sister.
Incest is only okay if it’s gay or NBR.

>>282202321
no it's BL. it's just awful

>>282202394
why the fuck would you unspoiler that? it's a pretty big twist to who it is

>>282202212
*yumes
Fujos just want the evil man to have sex with the good guy

speaking of waste of money, this was a waste of money too.

>>282202469

Still cute and still canon

Just watched the Nikaidou episode of the muchu sa anime and unless I'm mistaken, it seems like they just deleted That Line entirely. Cut it right out of his internal monologue here, left everything else. Holy fuck. Still a pretty gay story but that's kind of sad.

>>282203747
Cowardice is a choice

>>282203725
I was obsessed with these guys back in the 2000s, good grief. In hindsight, that documentary with the live-action re-enactments was a terrible idea, it make them look so much cooler and more attractive than they actually were. I'm sure you couldn't get away with a thing like that nowadays.
At the time I really did ship them (and there's still something really alluring about their whole goth homo Bonnie and Clyde thing) but, re-reading their writings as an adult, it's clear how both of them saw their relations with women (or I guess, lack of relations) as central to their thinking. The idea that Eric looked up to Dylan whereas, for Dylan, Eric was a sort of reluctant second choice when he accepted his dream girl wouldn't be available, is really interesting, but I guess it's all speculation ultimately.

Who keeps making all those orb threads?

>>282204174
The Rafalfag we chased out of the Mugen thread for spamming their mid show

>>282203609
I think the hottest YAS women tend to be the slightly older ladies, bordering on being motherly. Think Hamon in the original Mobile Suit Gundam.

Also, I need to finish Giant Gorg. I recall YAS saying he was tapped out for a lot of it but it didn't really show for the little I saw of it. Also, Yuu is cute.

>>282203911
I guess...okay.

>>282204195
>Rafalfag we chased out of the Mugen thread for spamming their mid show

>>282207833
It's is weird to have him the rankings but yet smile is not in the ranking.
What were they going to do if he wins? Not that it would necessarily affect anything plan-wise but it just seems a little odd to me. I feel like they can pull it off if it was done well

despite everything i gotta admit his design is just absolute sex. no wonder he's so popular. i wish more fujobait shows took this approach and make the designs more simple and mature instead of going wild with diverse and striking hair colors and other eccentric features.

>>282208036
Anon this just looks like generic Japanese man to me...

>>282207909
Your post is very vague so I'll answer it the way I understand it.
Smile was noted to be in the top 10, with no known agnecy affiliation though? Meanwhile Nice was in the top 15 with Treeman agency. Shang De, for the past few episodes, was noted to be very unknowledgeable as to how heros like Nice actually need to operate and rise further in the ranking. And, seeing as how X position tends to switch out constantly out of necessity, then Shang has nothing to worry about if he wins. For Shang, this is just personal vendetta rather than stretching out the victory for as long as possible, nothing more.

>>282206150

>>282208580
Oh you meant the poll from Bilibili, apologies. I saw "win" and I thought of the in-story explanation for their rankings, since "winning" the poll doesn't necessarily mean anything for now. We just get a vague "season 2 will be affected by this" response as to how the polls change anything. My theory is that Nice's story isn't yet complete, so they're figuring out how much to develop him/his connections next season. I also saw a theory recently about how Wreck and Bowa look like they're related. And seeing as how incomplete Bowa and Queen's character arc feel, perhaps that may be true. That, and maybe to gauge out how merchandising will pan out.

Fuck me why does this keep happening? I swear that any series I like ends up being cursed because the ships that I like only have like three people who like the ship or there's absolutely no one and it's just me sitting on a corner by myself.
I'll just go all in on cels I fucking guess? It all the artist I usually work with to make a daki with sweaty thighs. There isn't even any questionable stolen merch on taobao or xianyu.

>>282210828
Anon in what way does my post give you that idea?

>>282207522
I kinda am too, Hiroja's art brutally mogs Nishi's, the story is paced better and the alternate versions of the main cast are really interesting. Mafia Alice's dedication to/obsession with Iruma for example has a lot more weight with his backstory and the way he became a full-fledged member of his posse

>>282210896
Maybe the 500 grammar mistakes?

I did start my collection at least by getting this stupid sexy Apollo.


>>282210956
Okay explain to me how thats relevant to what I'm talking about.

How do we feel about bisexual anime characters?

>>282206533
There are signs it might unfuck itself just yet. The art is good enough to keep me reading for now.

>>282211145
But that's not anime

>>282211145
I think a lot of characters would probably end up being bisexual.

>>282211145
They’re cool. When it comes to BL I wish they had more hetero/bi sex in them but I know I’m in the minority

>>282207522
>>282210900
Nishi has a lot on her plate to be fair. Like there's the weekly Iruma release, weekly Ichi, some other short temporary Iruma spin-offs from time to time, and probably helping with the upcoming anime season a bit. A monthly release is a lot less stressful and can be worked on better.
Personally, I like main Iruma for its more chill atmosphere and large cast chemistry, but the actual story and motivation is leagues better in Mafia.

>>282211547
Personally I read gay shit for the gay

I'm more of a straight yaoi man myself.

>>282211145
Would be great if they weren't sluts so often. More bisexual disasters that get no loving despite being down for almost anyone with a pulse.

>>282211609
So do I. But there’s not a lot of manga that appeals purely to bisexuals

>>282211609
The spectrum of yaoi is wide my friend. No reason why it can't include women.

You know who is bisexual? Chris Redgrave.

>>282211658
Yamada-kun and the 7 Witches could have been great. It could have been...

There's at least one VN and one indie game out there that have bisexual options at least. Kanja S no Kyuusai is mostly about covering the guys in as much sperm as possible, but there's a route with the female nurse too. Princess of Abaddon lets you end up with either of the guys (and they even get H scenes on par with the girls) or if you work hard enough, form your own little harem with them. But it's definitely tilted more towards the female love interests.

>>282211547
Yeah this i agree with. I got tired of the whole 'this manga is about a BL couple and every single person around them is also gay'. Something like Kowloon would be nice but if they were the main couple instead.

We need more of this.

>>282211547

>>282211609

not interested in f*males, thanks

>>282211926
>>282211547
No I agree with this actually, and also wish it wasn't so rare. If I have two guys I ship in a non-BL story, obviously I don't want female characters to intrude into that. But in actual BL, never mind doujins, porn, etc, I'm always happy to see them.

I think it's okay to have various couples as it would allow for a more natural story but I don't really want het sex. A fade to black sure but anything else is annoying

>>282212117
Nothing wrong with women. This ain't /cm/.

Yeah but at that point isn't it better to just make a bisexual thread?

>>282212295
Should use the other SC guy for it

>>282212225
I think the ideal would be how men are usually treated in mixed casts that tease a bunch of ships.

Have the girls be given some time just to keep the hetfags hooked enough to keep buying shit, but make it clear by interactions and such that one of the guys is going to be end-game.

>>282212295
I don't remember anything in the OP saying you can't post about m/f or m/m/f here.

straggots barge into a gay thread and just CANNOT stop making it about themselves

Because there's barely any sports series anymore to begin with. Battery was the last one that I can think of, and it was admittedly a nice watch.

Choose an artist who draws it how you like it and copy them. Copying and taking inspiration is good.

Yes and it's... something. A bit too cynical but the characters are fun to follow. And the entire chapter dedicated to the pitcher's pissing problems was absolutely straight up my alley.

Also finished Kuroko, Haikyuu!

There just seems to be a lot more emphasis on having guys (especially the MC) lust after girls than there used to be. Stop that, the girl is useless. It should all be about manly bonds and life-long "friendships" forged through hard work and victory.

>>282213589
I had those same thoughts from time to time. What helps me is to just never overly indulge in it and take breaks. Keeps the BL hobby fresh.

>>282183582
What’s the context for this? Are there more panels of him like this? What is he even wearing?

>>282213792
>Keeps the BL hobby fresh.
Hard to be fresh when it's mostly the same shit recently. I think maybe for people who don't know Japanese the added benefit is that people tend to pick up "good ones" or stuff that will, as I said before, get them clout for some type of reason. Sometimes I'll pick up things on the most popular rankings list and it'll just be terrible so it's not just the people scanalating it's also nips themselves

>>282184833
The main guy’s name was Ryo right? I liked the OVA where the villain does nothing for a long time but stalk him and strip him shirtless. Too bad he transforms into his armor relatively quickly.

>>282214120
>Sometimes I'll pick up things on the most popular rankings list and it'll just be terrible
No nip ranking list, BL or not, ever gave me good general or genre-specific suggestions. By and large, nips have terrible taste, and this happens to be the case so often that /a/ makes fun of it. This isn't a recent phenomenon either.
Personally, I look into authors I like, and expand my lists based on their other works or what they suggest. I don't indulge too much, which keeps me away from noticing a pattern, thus also keeping it fresh.

>>282214894
The things is anon I do that and yet a majority of it is still pretty shit. You'll find one of two that are good (good luck trying to buy it now with the strict VPN protocols nip series are implementing).
Most of the artists that I like are basically on auto subscribe at this point and I just get their new works when they come out with it.
Sometimes it's okay to admit that most of the stuff coming out is slop whether it's on the top 10 rankings or it's ranked 65, 898. I don't think defending the industry that most people agree that it's gone downhill especially recently is something to strive for.

>>282214894
>which keeps me away from noticing a pattern
I wish it was that easy. My autism doesn't allow it and I'm pretty sure noticing patterns is the only thing my brain is good for.

>>282215195
>the industry that most people agree that it's gone downhill
That's news to me. The BL format emphasizing singular volumes over multi ones did do quite a bit of damage for more complex BL storytelling, but this happened ages ago, so it's not like it's recent. And there hasn't really been anything of note in recent times that widely indicates that recent material for BL has gone downhill, or uphill, for that matter. The repetition, especially those who chase after fads, is nothing new. I am wondering what recent slop trumps all other slop that came beforehand.

>>282215195
That's a trend on every entertainment industry because companies realized "what's the point of putting effort into if people are going to buy it anyways?".
>>282215543
>The BL format emphasizing singular volumes over multi ones
Oh yeah that was terrible. It's bad when you get invested in the characters but the story rushes through several months of development.

>>282187736
They didn't touch Nintama, I don't see how this will be any different.

>>282217379
Nintama is extremely popular with fujos

>>282217454
I'm talking about nufujos specifically.

>>282217476
You think all Nintama fujos are hags? Most of them got into it with the new movie

>>282216638
Not that anon but it's pretty much this.

They have recognised which combination of tropes + visuals will get the most interest, and just reiterate the same plots over and over because people buy it up. The amount of BL stories that give bingo for shitty story telling conventions is awful. But the chart can be adapted across all genres and media types- the more expensive it becomes to make entertainment, the less risky publishers and studios get with what they are willing to bankroll.

>Thought anon was talking about the English translation censoring Muuchu Sa
>The anime actually removed it
Took me a second glance. I hate this world, they won't add a KyoSato date or any extra romantic scenes. Fuck everything.

>>282217570
Why are you surprised, japan gonna japan.

>>282217570
Kyosato got incredibly spoiled all things considered. Hopefully they’ll up the gay with medanika in the next episode to make up for it.

>>282217514
>Pic
Perhaps I'm just making it up, but I swear a lot of these awful tropes listed was far more prevalent in BL spaces 15 years ago. Don't get me wrong, it's not uncommon by any means, but it's not as pervasive, even in popular BL. So things are looking better in some aspects.

I don't think you can erase the whole plot of the episode.

>>282217653
I made that about that long ago, so it makes sense. Still see them from time to time even though the popular art styles have shifted away from the yaoi hands/dorito chin era.

The day ukes stop crying during sex, BL authors learn that male nipples aren't sensitive like women's, and we stop having stupid contrived plots that can be resolved in one conversation will be the new golden age of 2D buttfucking.

>>282217644
It's so disingenuous, they removed the exact line that put context in their relationship. I'm tired, if they removed this little line and thought it was too much in fucking 2025, this industry is still trash. Not trusting DogaKobo ever again

>>282217699
They removed the exact like that made it very clear it's actually gay as hell. Muuchu Sa is actually cursed I tell you, such dumb and cute little manga get a treatment this horrible in translations, then adaptations

>>282217716
>BL authors learn that male nipples aren't sensitive like women's
Personally, I haven't seen this trope for BL released in the last 5 years. The most I've seen is a runner's nipples, but that took a lot of "training" to occur. So not immediately sensitive or anything.
>having stupid contrived plots that can be resolved in one conversation
My least favourite trope that's incredibly prevalent in all type of genres, even beyond BL. Unfortunately, unless every genre goes away with this, BL is unlikely to change this aspect.

But overall, I'm taking the optimistic route and say that things are better than they were 15 years ago.

At least pubes in BL look so much better now than they used to

>>282217850
I still see the sensitive nipples thing in ship fan works often still. Somehow it's most aggravating when the creator acknowledges that the nipples shouldn't be sensitive but still make them so anyway.

>>282217917
At least we HAVE pubes in BL now. It used to be smooth Ken dolls outside of Bara.

>thread still up
lol nice

>>282217850
Aren't sensitive nipples just a gay porn trope over all? Its not like plenty of bara don't go way more harder with it.
Its like with not needing prep, bl gets shit on for it despite gay artists not wanting to waste time going through the motions every doujinshi.

>>282217917
Oh for sure. My favourite is when they have the happy trail, but I haven't seen that done outside of a few doujins.
If you have any reccs for that, I'll be glad to read them, doujin or not.
>Ship fan works
Ah, that explains it. Amateurish content will always be, well, amateur. At least BL manga doesn't seem to have this problem as far as I've seen.

>>282217850
Some of my favorite bls are from around the or before. I don't think much has really changed except more generic happy stories than generic muh edge and rape

Really? I haven't seen it beyond, "nipple licking is hot because your lover is licking you," rather than immediately acting like a girl because the nipples are, without training, sensitive.

>>282218160
>>heard a man's voice

>>282218006
To me it's a creative exercise. How can we have the lube and stretching incorporated without killing the flow? Foreplay is usually the best, or some other convenience like a setting with magic that makes it unnecessary. Like hey let's fuck in this low-level dungeon- grab that slime monster so you can still walk afterwards.

>>282218207
If it was just that, highlighting extremely intimate touch, it'd be fine. But too many times I've seen the guy arching into it and moaning as if it's the best thing ever. Even the seme commenting that that isn't the normal response so it must just be a quirk of the uke's. Fine for transmascs that didn't get their tiddies removed, but for cis men it's just eye-rolling.

>>282217939
It only took them decades to start adding pubes to their characters, maybe by the next century they'll finally draw some body hair.

I have a friend that does and has this.

Tbf woman nipples aren't particularly sensitive when compared to porn, feeding babies would be very awkward if they were.

>>282217716
hard nipples are literally more sensitive than cut dicks or assholes for most guys.
which doesn't mean guys will orgasm from just having their nipples played with, but it does mean they will squirm and make funny noises from it.

They can be, but it's way overrepresented compared to how common it is in the genre. Sometimes I want a sex scene written by someone who understands that and goes for other erotic areas like the neck, lower back, and inner thighs during foreplay.

An enlightened man

>>282219223
Listen, when you've read a bunch of sex scenes that all start the same way -playing with a dude's nipples- it gets old real fast. There are other places to explore and turn someone on.

>>282219371
Prostate play is surprisingly underrepresented in BL

>>282219501
The best trope is the prostate being an instant cum button. Ignore the usual one and done orgasm limit, smash that thing over and over to drive the uke into sloppy ahego bliss.

>>282219371
It's one thing to say that it gets old, it's another to say that it's like a woman's nipples, anon.
Though I agree that other places should be explored more.

>>282219251
If you bring that up as a plot point and then don't use it as an opportunity to have them switch or at least do something different than anal sex then you can fuck right off

>>282219591
How about this. There are three common instances.

1. "Like a woman's" is specifically invoked, implying that the character knows it's not normal for a male's nipples to be a prime erogenous zone. This is shitty because it usually also coincides with writing and treating the uke like a woman in terms of relationship dynamic and social role.

2. Done purely for the porn aspect. The character knows it's not normal, but that's what makes them extra sexy in a unique way. Or they trained it deliberately for kink purposes. This is great, not often seen enough honestly.

3. They just are that way without any reason given. So it could be a case of the author simply copying a popular trope without knowing the reality of the situation, something they like and want to include, or both. Usually BL writers are women who know next to nothing about how men's body's work though, so I don't give them the benefit of the doubt. Not great and is the most common. So it's just tired at this point- do something else to turn a guy on.

That's why I kept telling people it's by one of the Osomatsu-san writers! I have a feeling the colour coding was inspired by Matsus first and production committee'd into a marketing strat later, and that's part of why people keep mistaking it for idols. There's some cursed contract agreement to sell music and collectibles so King Records will let them make a freebie web anime full of lewd jokes, but bless it because they have less constraints to worry about.
>Love all the charismas, even the ones I expected to not care about(like Iori, Terra, and the purple whore)

I was going to warmly agree with this experience (again) and then I nearly choked on my drink. Can't wait to hear how you react to it getting more into the characters at the end of the season. The hints of plot begin with a skateboard.

Honestly the best recent bl I read was a cross dresser x agp bl where he got turnt on from being feminized. The cross dresser fucked him hard, fingered him nicely, called him pretty. He did his make up too. 20/10 tbqh. It's been about 3 years and no ones scanalated it or even put it on manga updates so I'm going to continue to gatekeep it but iykyk and it's hot as hell

I'm into both, so all of these are great.

Their time will come again (when the franchise is running out of money).

It's probably the only one I'm excited for. It's super chill and I liked the web novels that I read

I wasn't posting here last week because I was playing silksong
I wasn't expecting the tragic doomed yaoi boss

I need to find more chill isekai with good fujo material.

Will we ever get another no-homo interview as hilarious as the Kurata one?

I feel like it's some new janny power tripping though for something. I got banned for 3 days off all boards for saying chink of all things. Just feels like some stickler banned all the regulars so it was just bots for something

Same, they have a nice slow burn but not necessarily "pure" vibe.

How do you get to be a janny if you're a 100% newfag unfamiliar with basic vocab?
Then again someone literally got permabanned for posting shoujo manga oneshots.
How the fuck does that happen?

No idea which is why I think it was power tripping or being too strict. I know the mods are the ones who ban but come on. Thinks like jeet, chink, nip are all used so commonly
