The P2TM Animu Enclave (Roleplaying And RP Discussion Group)

[Altito Asmoro]

Shock Topic for you all

What if Anime died out in 5 years time? (clicky, clicky, linky, linky) I think the shocking part about this, is that I found myself agreeing with him, but that I've had the same discussion in my mind before

Yeah, right. Anime is more popular then ever, when you consider the millions of fans out of Japan. And I've grown tired of this endless drivel about how "all modern anime is sh*t" and only stuff from at least five years ago is worth watching. That's BS. The ratio of sh*t to good anime hasn't changed since the foundation of the industry, let alone now that animation techniques are unmatched. Of course we're going to "feel like we've seen this before", there just isn't an unlimited amount of concepts and ideas to be had. That doesn't make everything the same, let alone mediocre. People like that see similarities and recycling everywhere because they're looking for them.

Also, why should anyone listen to Anno Hideaki on this topic? He loathes the anime fanbase. He's psychologically unstable. He's made that evidently clear both in his works and in his statements. Why should he be considered trustworthy about the state of the anime industry? It's like asking Michel Houellebecq about the state of France. We all know what he's going to say about it, and that it won't be good, ever. Even if the anime industry were in full bloom, effortlessly supported the entire economy of Japan and provided fifty million well-paid jobs a year, he'd complain about it.



On a more light-hearted topic, has anyone been watching Danna ga nani wo itteiru ka wakaranai ken (I can't understand what my husband is saying)? If you liked it, you should try the author's (Cool Kyoushinsa) other manga. I particularly like Ojojojo.

I'm a book person (Could live in a library book person) and I find it hard to read the manga after I watch the anime. It feels, kinda of lackluster in comparison.

You're probably going to miss the best arcs ...
I tend to like the manga better in most cases. Then again, I need reading more than air.

Fullmetal Alchemist is as same as its anime adaptation.

I do hope you're talking about Brotherhood

I recalled there is no manga for the 2003 anime.

So yes.

Is that so? Huh, I suppose that makes sense. I am unfamiliar with Anno Hideaki, personally, so I was unaware of his thoughts on the anime fandom. But if what you say is true, I can definitely see personal bias getting in the way of his making valid arguments about the state of the anime industry.

I've been meaning to watch it, actually, but *looks at imaginary list*

... Yeah.

RE Anime vs Manga: Personally, I just find anime more convenient than manga. I'm definitely not opposed to reading manga -- after all, I do love reading (though I'm more of a prose person than anything else) -- but frankly, anime is just easier for me to access, and it's also the gateway through which I fell into the fandom, so I have more of an attachment to the anime medium than to other media such as manga and light novels (though I've recently been getting into visual novels... and not for dirty purposes I swear!!!).

The problem is, that it just isn't Anno Hideaki (Bad ethos witness for my topic, granted), but also the likes of Hayao Miyazaki (who anime heavy weight and industry god that he is) agrees that anime seems to have a definite recycled trend. And while not all bad, he states that there is a certain lack of novelty, of inspiration in the market. So, while Hayao isn't saying that the End Times is 5 years nigh like his douchbaggery counterpart, he believes that it is a screw up for the modern anime industry.

I find Danna ga nani hilarious. Happened upon it by a lucky mouse click, and have stuck with it ever since. I will also add that suggestion to my list. I look forward to checking it out!

It's better to read the manga, Temp.

You are probably right T_T Though, I do try, and sometimes succeed.

You've come into contact with Lith-Sama. That automatically makes you prone to using visual novels and other forms of Japanese entertainment for dirty purposes

Pfft. Who do you think made Lithy the way he is?

Actually, I have little idea how he got from conservative "good Christian boy" to liberal atheist Ecchi man, but despite any claims I may make due to my big ego, I only met him after the transition.

So, while Hayao isn't saying that the End Times is 5 years nigh like his douchbaggery counterpart, he believes that it is a screw up for the modern anime industry.

*shrug* With all the immense respect that is due to Miyazaki, he's been doing anime for 50 years or so. Anyone in any medium would feel like everything's getting recycled after five decades in the field. That doesn't necessarily reflect on how the modern viewership will perceive it. I think that yes, there is a need for new ideas, but not more so nowadays as a decade ago. There's always a need for new ideas, that's the curse inherent to fiction. Presumably, if things reach a critical state (which I don't believe they will), sheer natural selection will kick in and there'll be a rebound.

I find manga more accessible, what with scanlation websites and such (yes, I know it's bad, but I'd need to mortgage by apartment to actually buy a tenth of the manga I read ). Also I read about five or six times faster than I watch anime -- like, to take the FMA/FMA:B example previously mentioned, I can finish the 108 chapters of the manga in a day, maybe a day and a half tops, whereas the anime would take me much longer. It is nice to see colors and such, though.


Do any of you know what they're going to watch this summer? I'm thinking Chaos Dragon (because Nasu), Durarara X2 Ten, Prisma Illya 2wei Herz, Gate, Working!!! and maybe God Eater (because Ufotable), Rokka no Yuusha, Overlord and Gakkou Gurashi. I'll probably drop like a quarter of them at some point, though.

Hey guys.
Watched Princess Mononoke recently.
I'm now planning a Spirit and nature vs Humanity and Progress sort of rp with Japanese myths, perhaps set in the past of Japan itself (With modern day characters transported from their time and given special powers and such).

Anyone interested in helping/joining/giving ideas?

Sure. ^^
Do you want to TG me when your awake or should I TG you and then wait for a response?
It's probably going to take me a while to get it up, though with some support I should be able to run it and MMM.

I'd be interested, too.

BTW, I'm still in for MMM. Just have no idea what to actually write ...

Sure.
The cast is likely going to be human kids from the Modern era, but I plan to give them powers of some sort.
More than a few will likely transform into Yokai like that when they get to ancient Japan...

Awesome ^^

You could respond to Irene. I've been waiting on a response for her for a while.

Charm, now you have inspired me to make a Touhou Project RP

Charm, now you have inspired me to make a Touhou Project RP

I will likely join that...
I've heard of it, but I think I need to do more research into Touhou,

[Mirakai]

I've heard of it, but I think I need to do more research into Touhou,

It's about a shrine maiden and a witch beating the living crap out of tengu, vampires, oni, and other youkai, and then sitting down and having tea with them.

All this happens in modern time, but inside a gigantic invisible barrier that cuts off all access to the outside world, but occasionally things pop through sometimes

It should be awesome. ^^

I can start working on an OP tomorrow. Maybe you can Co-OP?

I'll try, though I'll likely have some trouble with the internet for about 14 days.

I've never tried to get into the Touhou franchise, so I know zippity.

I need a witty title for the RP. Any suggestions?

I have a friend who's really into it, but never bothered to learn myself.
