Do you like BL and yaoi anime? Why or why not?

I got into BL because I had already watched the more popular kdrama shows and wanted something similar.. but different if that makes sense.

Not as a genre, because I'm not a gay man and I think it's weird to fetishize gay relationships. I will watch ones that are really good stories on occasion like bananafish, I just don't seek them out.

I'm not a fujo hater tho, there are so many moids who fetishize lesbian relationships and are way worse overall.

Vocaloid / Happy Birthday Miku Anonymous 1144[Reply]

A few days ago it was Hatsune Miku'a birthday, aka her 10th anniversary. In honor of that, I decided a little thread dedicated to all things vocaloid would be fun.
Some discussion ideas:
>How did you find out about vocaloid?
>Favorite/Worst song?
>Favorite/Worst vocaloid?
>Favorite/Worst producer?
>Favorite/Worst music video?
>Have you played project diva? If so what is your favorite song to play and are you good at it?
>Have you tried to make a song using vocaloids before?
>Anything else you wanna contribute?

…that's all!

I miss when Deco used vocaloids other than just Miku. His music was better when he used Gumi more.

Yeah I'm still salty that he used Miku instead of Gumi in his cowardly monblanc remake. Just… why!? I like Miku but I wish more producers used her less and others more because variety is fun.

It seems like he can only compose like he used to when the Milgram project is waving some cash in front of him. The remake was kind of mediocre in my opinion but that’s just modern deco in general.

>Find thread to complain about last Deco upload because 4chin is dead
>Last posts were complaining about the very thing I came to complain about in fucking 2022
Why does he do this? Not a single one of the reloads has been better than the original and his refusal to use Gumi doesn't help. There's more vocaloids than Miku out there, you fucking used them, you can't just change classics like Coward Mont Blanc or Mozaik Role because you feel the need to make it uniform with the rest of your modern shite.
I just don't think he has the touch anymore. Since his current era his only particularly good song was Cosmic Rendezvous, since it sounds like he was suddenly struck by whatever he was on back around 2010, only for it to somehow end up one of the least viewed songs on his channel anyway.
I'd like to say at least he has some Milgram songs I like but the specific ones I like were actually written by his friend (Futa and Mikoto ones) and are probably helped by the VAs putting their entire ass into singing that shit

Anonymous 36876

>>36874

Deco feels more like a "brand" rather than an individual producer at this point. I mean, with all his new vocaloid work being pretty sterile, the reloads only using Miku, nearly every upload description including "special thanks to Crypon Future Media"…
I wouldn't want to describe him as a sellout but wtf is going on here.

PDF Dump Thread Anonymous 24751[Reply]

I don't think crystal.cafe has ever had one before in it's whole history (although as an imageboard the posting format would support it I assume). I suppose this can serve as a place to just dump any pdf you might have, be it fiction, nonfiction, biographies, cook books, manuals. Really anything that is a pdf. I think this would also serve as a good place for us to exchange our literature, especially for the more GC oriented posters.

Thoughts on Witch Hat Atelier? Anonymous 36232[Reply]

Thoughts on Witch Hat Atelier?

Anonymous 36233

i really like coco and the first 40 chapters but after that the pacing gets really weird and it seems like the writing went in a very different direction. chapters 41 through 83 have taken place in exactly TWO DAYS and have taken the writer FOUR YEARS to write. also, it seems like the author tries to touch on various social issues almost every chapter, but kinda just mentions it once and the author moves on to another topic. however, this is one of the only anime i’ve seen to talk about and slam the ecchi trope, so i like that. the mood changes really quickly in the second half, and i don’t like it as much as the first half. overall i think it is good, but it loses a lot of steam in the later chapters.

I also noticed a similar drop in quality around the same time. The earlier chapters were so good however i can forgive it. Reading Witch Hat with my cozy+magical playlist was nice

Why is this so common in anime? Is dating in Japan really like this?

Anonymous 36804

0fm5udk63rs91-1261…

Harem animes aren't designed to be a realistic or accurate depiction of dating. They appeal to the "nice guys" that have no real personality or social skills but also can't handle rejection. Their wish fulfillment fantasy is to have their "nice" behavior be validated by women but also to not grow as a person and become a well rounded human being. It's a coping mechanism for "nice guys" that don't want to change and become better people.

Probably the most sovl newgrounds animation but I haven't watched a lot of those so I might be wrong

Anonymous 36819

Alfred is literally me, too.
I truly relate to the animations, these were literally a call for help.

I love/hate the implications of the animations, like the popsicle flashback.

People don't notice that the tapes may be something else, there's a video camera too, which IMHO is that Alfred was filmed, making Alfred a victim from being forced to make CSAM along with the CSA, the tapes and the TV may have been used to groom Alfred, of course those tapes are porn, and the cherry POPsicle, of course a way to say "I'll pop that cherry" showing probably a moment where Alfred started getting SA.

Not only that, but Harlow experiment cameo meaning that Emily spent probably days or months looking for examples of experimental negligence to understand what was happening to her and cope a bit, Alfred saying the need to survival since no one will help him and come for rescue and even the mutilation in the second part which shows a way to escape reality and perhaps, a way to be injured/seem uglier with so Alfred perhaps doesn't get SA again, or a way to feel alive or even a way to show how much you hate yourself, since "whore Alfred" is all that he knows, the shame fades when you pity yourself sometimes.

I draw too, and all these animations are vent art and I feel it so much it hurts.
The years from being alone and having to go through so much stress, and people around that always saw you being mistreated, they don't even question it at all, coz that always been that way and they don't think about it, it is how it is.

Or probably Emily went to school and was a happy kid, a kid that whenever was outside the house was happy, so teachers didn't give an eye to the situation (as I'd done when I was a kid), and had to come back home where it wasn't a happy place. People can't understand that kids that come from REALLY abusive homes from the start, they don't fight it, if you were raised that way, you don't question it, and if you question it its when you learnt that what was happening was terrible, but at the same time you can't do anything about it, its the only place you know and you don't know if they're going to treat you the same way or even feel that you're worthless, and God just gave you that life coz you deserved it.

If you slap a kid from a normal home once, and they'll be sad all day and tell to anyone about it.

>Country Music Awards snub
>Black women in country have been denied legitimacy by the industry they’re so firmly a part of
I'm kind of surprised this article doesn't mention Tracy Chapman; there was an upset over her being the first black person to win a CMA award for song of the year, in 2023, for a song she released in 1988- because a white moid made a vastly inferior cover of her song that took off. Of course she still won Grammy awards in 1989, so I admire Tracy for staying fairly grounded and authentic for the most part as a music artist. I don't doubt that the CMA and country fans have lower standards for white male artists (seriously, compare the original vidrel to this Grammy-nominated/CMA award-winning cover https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fr7oYjnt3bM)

Reading the article, it rings hollow to me because it feels more like a Beyonce shill post by a stan and all the musings (about the exclusion of black women in country) are in service of the shilling. Even when they bring up other black women country artists, it's to imply their success rests on Bey's shoulders. I could not care less about a ceo millionaire who owns 32 grammies and 3 companies being invalidated by the Country Music Association KEK. The article's message is undermined by the fact that they don't show actual appreciation for black country artists beyond merely mentioning their names, that they were on Bey's album, and that they got more streams thanks to Bey. These artists have other albums of their own too you know, that released in 2023-2024.
Not to mention this is her first time doing a country album. "Beyoncé’s quest for legitimacy in country music has long been documented" and yet she waited nearly 2 decades and 7 albums to do so. It's cool that she's experimenting and brought on a bunch of country artists, but the black artists who did get nominated(The War and Treaty) have actually been in the country scene from the beginning of their career. Listen to their album Lover's Game vs Cowboy Carter and you can tell which one feels more genuine.
