Anybody who watches that show should be thrown in a mental institution for life.

Its kino desu. Can you say why you personally dislike it without seething about muh furries or something? I can barely stand anime overall but this was really unique imo

are there any dramas that actually show how fucked modernity it? Im writing a comic that I sorta want to be a modern taxi driver in a sense with a hopeless main character (working at McDonalds with a software degree, spends most of his free time doing series of interviews for companies, and getting rejected after the 5th round of interviews, or just ghosted).

I feel like everything modern is just so fucking fake, and theres nothing that captures what I feel. I mean people think The Boys is a good parody, but its beyond awful

IMO this is trying too hard to be "le modern or something"

Modernity is incredibly hard to describe. I think its the idea that it seems your life is hopeless, meaningless, that it is potentially going to be like this forever (until we (humanity) kill ourselves), and that you probably cant do anything about it, or even comfort yourself.

So you're a slave to other people's opinions and unable to think on your own, huh?

I have never interacted or thought of fans of anything I like and I never will

Yep, I agree. True literature about it would be much more profound and subtle

You know that you can read the manga without interacting with the fans, right?

Doesn't really work. Your opinion of something depending on what other people think of it sounds really slave-ish. You're still a minor but you'll realize people irl are pretty cool.

No, you're based. Any recommendations for literally anything?

Yeah probably, that's just meant to be the setup for one of our main characters, and to give him reason to start the plot. I didn't want him to be super obvious with his hopelessness, but for him to be a suckup to the system, like Syril Karn from Andor (picrels before I had his character fully written out)

I did an opening chapter for it at the start of the year, but I didn't like my art, so I've just spent alot of time practicing my art and writing short stories, and Im now 15 pages into a more medium sized comic.

Posted the scene on IC a bit ago, although its pretty embarrassing looking back, at least I can use it to measure my progress though

So ill probably get back to picrel, in a few years once I've finished my other comic, so it should have better writing and art, and I'll try to make it more subtle and hopefully feel more real too.

That picrel is by you? It's weirdly captivating. Where can I read your work?
