pretentious as fuck

didn't think i would see someone posting about AURORA here… i found her music a few years ago and adore it. when i have nothing to do i like to put on a playlist of my favorite songs she's done and dance to them. it's good exercise as well

what are your thoughts on her newest album??

>>36396
I love her music, she’s great.
>>36562
I think it’s a good album but probably my least favorite of hers so far. I just don’t connect with it as hard as her previous albums and I don’t reach for these songs as much.

Reminds people of their asshole dad?

It's a slightly less horrible "The Boys"
>"Satirizes" the superhero genre
>Written by petulant morons who clearly steal all their ideas from Twitter
>Thinks it's far more clever than it actually is
>Winds up seeming even more childish than the literal children's media it thinks it's taking the piss out of.
>Compensates for this by being extremely brutal and violent.

Americans can't into media anymore.

Invincible starts out great, I read the comics and the first arc doesn't really satirize the genre at all, all that cringe comes down later.
I love the first "arc" so much because you actually get a really compelling storyline of Mark having to deal with having an asshole dad and its consequences to the world.
Unfortunately they rush instantly to a confrontation (which hits really hard and its quite the surprise to me because its fairly rushed) and shit falls apart and it becomes the usual comicslop but with gore (the invincible wars thing being peak cringe).
The entire thing should had always revolved around the relationship with Mark, Omniman and tackling a bit of the Empire. I couldn't give a less of a fuck about the side-characters.

Stand ready for my arrival worm

>Sound of Freedom and Homestead so successful
It's all pandering to the geriatric boomers with a white savior complex. They don't really care about social issues and they just want validation for being 'Merican.

Horse racing is cruel

I have the opposite problem where I hate the new modern anime style, your pic looks weird too but definitely not bland and I don't associate it with gacha games.
It's just so boring, no matter how interesting they might make the buildings, environments, etc. I can't handle their empty, generic faces and styles. I would say they look like babies, even if anime styles have always mostly been neotenous, there's something about them that registers as especially child-like to me. Maybe it's the even smaller noses. Maybe it's the blandness that looks like it was made for toddlers.

I will never watch an anime with this copy-pasted art style. It just makes me so frustrated with how lackluster the animation is as well, and I get so much hate for saying that. Vintage anime definitely had more soul put into their work, not the mainstream.

>gacha games
My God, yes. The majority is just some generic Genshin Impact type artstyle.

Based.
The mass moefication in anime is just the nippon version of Calarts style.

they look like that because they weren't trying to formulaically pander to a western audience. 90s anime had soul in their animation it was made for passion more than profit

I have an oc named megumi that i ship with Togami from danganronpa, it's the only oc I ever made and it was for Togami.

Fuckyeah a yumejoshi thread ! If there are any drawfags here, let's draw and chitchat about our ships!

movie reviews/pop culture commentary

Anime reviews

Do book summeries and analysis. Because I'm too lazy to read and want someone else to think about stuff.

I am very stereotypical in this but "abnormal humanities." Outsider art videogames/film, eccentric people biographies, cults, paranormal/psychic/witchcraft accounts, true crime with unusual nonsexual elements.
I felt a deep and piercing shame once upon having these tastes described as "mallgoth tier." And I don't remember the last time I saw a mallgoth in the wild so pandering to mallgoths is probably not a growth market.

Don't tell anyone, but I've never actually seen it. I've just absorbed the plot fron popular culture.

I'm telling everyone, I just posted it on Daily Mail

The anime was better

Yeah I liked it, it is a very good satire and the director is a very talented woman.

However, the amount of people who idolize Patrick Bateman, in a non-ironic way, scare me. Even before the movie's creation, people thought the book was glorifying violence. The director also struggled to find an actor that understood the source material, she landed on Christian Bale because he was the only one that didn't try to make Bateman out to be a suave, sexy killer.

I shouldn't be posting on this website, but I can at least give my perspective. It's his workout routine for me and the amenities in his apartment that he can use. To be in the best physical shape of your life, to be physically capable, is what I fantasize about. Part of that ties to Christian Bale and his dedication to changing his body for his role. I also believe that there is a glimpse of someone who honestly laments the superficiality of the world, the resigned "But inside doesn't matter", the frustration at not being able to get out of this fake artificial hell he feels compelled to belong to. Despite being ready to kill both Jean and Luis on two separate occasions, he cannot bring himself to do it because they express love towards him. There is something resembling humanity deep within him, something that wants to believe there is more. There is also a slightly poignant scene with Courtney, Luis' fiancee, in the book where she confirms her intention to marry him and he accepts it, though just what does and doesn't happen is ambiguous.

That being said, he is 99.9% a vacuous monster pretending to be what passes for human among his social circle, and eternal misery is what he deserves. He is fundamentally amoral and the book shows he's been this way since at least childhood. There were numerous points where I had to put it down when I read it 13 years ago because the violence was just too graphic. The scene with the large rat and the cream cheese and the tube and the woman and the chainsaw will unfortunately stay with me for a long time. I do enjoy the movie for being a relatively abridged, more palatable experience that is a bit more cheeky with the satire.
