I've seen I Want to Eat Your Pancreas. Kimisui (the short title, because it's so long lol) kind of feels like getting stabbed in the chest then it's over. Like what @wjs018@ani.social said, Look Back wasn't top tier emotional, at least in the same sense as Kimisui.

Kimisui / Look Back spoilers

Kimisui banks on the audience's anticipation on when Yamauchi dies because it's pre-established that she does die (movie opens with her funeral). The twist takes a different form. There's also the reveal of the main character's name. After Yamauchi dies and the MC goes through a cathartic moment, life goes on for him.

In Look Back, I kept thinking to myself "oh it's not over yet?" There are several moments after the "twist" when I thought the movie was going to end already but it kept going (for good reasons) so the emotion you feel is a bit different. Perhaps a bit dull. Maybe you can say Look Back doesn't have a "climax" in the same way Kimisui does.

Also, Kimisui is grounded completely on reality while Look Back has a segment where two timelines converge. So maybe the realism in Kimisui makes it more emotional.

My friend's been bugging me to read the manga years ago so now I can say that I "read" it. It was kind of depressing to watch though.

I'm guessing Fujino and Kyoumoto are two parts of the author (Fujimoto) and it's essentially his response to how a mangaka keeps on going. The manga was released during the Chainsawman hiatus and I'm guessing there are other references to his other past works.

Despite that, I'm still figuring out what Kyoumoto means to him. It's a silly thing to think about but assuming he's both Fujino and Kyoumoto, and he uses Fujino to represent the mangaka we know, then "who" is Kyoumoto?

Also this shot reminds me of Misato walking in the corridor:

And if anyone hasn't, definitely read Fujimoto's other one shot "Goodbye Eri".

A bit late but happy birthday /c/anime! Honestly, I owe @wjs018@ani.social a lot for revitilizing this community and for making it into what it is today. They've been our biggest financial contributor and have also made me aware of some significant issues with the instance in the past. Thank you for your hard work! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

I never thought of Spirited Away that way but now that you mention it, it does resemble isekai.

Lame. :/ Guess I'm changing my review then.

Last time a similar question was asked, I responded with Perfect Blue, The End of Evangelion, and Love & Pop.

So this time, I'm going to suggest Sans Soleil.

Minor Re:Zero spoilersEmilia thought she'd become pregnant after being kissed by Subaru. She's the sheltered, innocent, pure type of character.

As for the scene in the meme above, I'm not sure as I haven't seen the new season yet.

[–] hitagi@ani.social 16 points 3 weeks ago (2 children)

Persona series, maybe. The entire franchise is all about making friends, deepening relationships, and working together to fight monsters.

I saw somebody here recommend Kenshi, so I'm going to recommend RimWorld as well. It's a colony building game, but it's kind of anxiety-inducing lol

Maybe a small condenser microphone. The Samson Go is a bit old (not that consumer-grade microphone tech has changed much) but it's small and just plugs into a laptop with a USB port. There are probably newer small models that do a better job and I'm not aware of its existence.

I suspect a conferencing type product will have the same issue since it’s made to record sound coming from like two feet away from the mic

This is the case with dynamic microphones (the microphones typically used for live events), but condenser microphones are usually very sensitive and will pick up almost every bit of noise with enough gain.

I’ve seen like giant fuzzy mics used on movie sets - should I look for something like that?

These are condenser shotgun microphones. The ones used in movie sets use XLR and need some kind of audio recorder (you'll be carrying a lot of stuff with you). There are small ones that use 3.5mm connectors though (usually made for cameras). You need to have this pointed at the sound source at all times (hence why you see people manually operating these in a movie set).

Anyway, I recommend looking into handhelds with built-in microphones (like the Zoom H1) so you can move it around easily.

That's unfortunate, but I hope the voice actors get what they want. I really love the English VAs for the new regions so I want to hear more of them. In the meantime, I'll be using the other languages.

... and since !genshin_impact@lemmy.world doesn't get pulls megathreads, I'll be bragging my pulls here instead :P

I love Dehya. So "losing" 50/50 to her is a big win for me. She's C4 now.

And of course, Xilonen. I heard she's geo Kazuha with healing instead of grouping. I don't care so much for meta but I'm happy I brought home two cat women with me yesterday.

The end credits mention 3DCG and motion capture so you might be right.

 
 

Archon Quest Spoilers

Sometimes I forget what happened in previous archon quests (and the story in general). I'm happy I remember Caribert from the cloth tied to his arm though.

His bit with Atossa was really emotional. Especially with the dolls on the tree in his island.

I found Caribert more interesting than the twins for some reason lol. I was a bit disappointed that the traveler doesn't remember their conversation with the other sibling. I was expecting something like what happened in the Sumeru Archon Quest.

I knew there was going to be a gift/ornament though but I wasn't expecting a photograph. It was a bit funny.

Anyway, I can't wait for the next summer event. Genshin Impact's summer events are always fun.

The only screenshot I was able to take:

 

I really like The Cynic Clinic so I wanted to share this video that provides some insight on school roofs which we often don't really think about.

 

We will be upgrading to Lemmy v0.19.0 on 2023-12-21 06:00 UTC+8. During this time, this instance will be temporarily unavailable for approximately four hours as we perform the maintenance.

You can view the instance status updates here.

We apologize for any inconveniences.

 

I made a comment in the gacha pull thread earlier this month with Tighnari. I was short around ~30 pulls for another 5-star guarantee. I spent the last few days playing through the rest of the Fontaine Archon Quest. With the extra primos and fates, I managed to get Furina today!

KQM also just posted their Furina guide so I guess I'll be spending the next few weeks building her.
