I watched it about 5 years ago and I remember my fav being Sayaka! Homura was cool as well

>>35547
Starting off by saying I only watched the series, none of the movies and stuff. Sayaka gets overlooked a lot, she was written so well. She's realistic and relatable to adult life in a way the most anime characters aren't.

>>35548
I agree with you about Sayaka being overlooked, I feel like she's such a tragic and well-written character. I have cried at a movie or tv show maybe 2x in my life and Sayaka's death was one of those times. It's just so sad to me how she tries so hard to be a good person and gets punished for it. Also, I found her experiences with misogyny relatable, especially as a woman who was teased by boys a lot as a girl. I related pretty strongly to all of the characters when I watched the show as a middle schooler. I think that Homura's internalized homophobia in the rebellion movie was pretty interesting, I think her overwhelming self-hatred makes her a nice counterpart to Madoka's all-loving nature. Also I hope that in the next movie they have more of Kyouko, I feel like she was underexplored.

The other time I cried was when I watched Paddington 2 in theater, that movie was far better then it had any right to be.

OMG A new madoka magica trailer! They really are working on the movie! Do you guys think it will be good?

God I hope so, been waiting for this man to stop playing with Taiwanese puppets to finish Madoka.

Does anyone else notice how many typing mistakes and formatting errors pirated ebooks have? I almost regret getting a Kindle because most pirated epubs suck. I'm only going to read scanned PDFs now. I just wish there was a way to read PDFs in e-ink to reduce eye strain.

You can read PDFs on the kindle, or at least on mine, you just can't change the font size. Have you tried using IRCHighway to get pirated ebooks? They typically have really good epub & mobi formats in the #ebook channel. A lot of times they have the official mobi files from amazon just cracked. If you see .mobi or .azw3 it is specifically for the Kindle and probably just taken off of Amazon. There is also libgen.is but I think everyone knows that and it doesn't have epubs for a lot of books.

I pirate but I do feel bad sometimes
Unless it's really really hard to find or if it's ridiculously overpriced, then I don't feel bad

I pirated Duolingo premium and now I breeze through a million lessons a day, I can only recommend it. The free version is a pain and even the premium is more of a game than a real studying tool so you might as well

Her music sucks so bad. She’s just rupaul inspired Taylor Swift to me.

>>35452
I hate the nipple piercing through the t shirt. I hate it. It’s even worse since she’s like 40 now. It would be repulsive on someone of any age though.

>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.

Dug deep, found this hidden gem.

This whole album.

Warframe really doing great with the login music these last few patches.

LIZ LOVE!

Always thought nobunaga was the coolest

My favorite Fate is the cooking show one kek, so wholesome and comfy

Summer event is so damn boring, but I have to beat it for Ordeal Call 3. Which will probably also be boring.

I got arcesus and it’s pretty fun and cute! If you like rpg games with questing it’s gonna be fun. The style of your clothes and home it old timey japanese style which is really nice. Game play wise it’s pretty easy so definitely more sth to chill, i switched to different games at times when i felt bored.

I stopped playing Pokémon just before sun and moon and went in with low expectations but I still enjoyed Scarlet/Violet. My only issue was not intuitively knowing which story beats to tackle first so I had to look up a guide after getting bodied by the poison group, which took the fun out of the ‘you can do whatever you want’ vibe of the game.

Arceus if you want something a bit more novel than main series games Sword/shield if you want a more classic Pokémon game.
arceus has a different setting (insipired by old timey Japan) and focuses on wild pokes rather than trainer battles. the open world is cool and there's a lot of sidequests.
I personally didn't care for s/v bc it has shit graphics and the open world is kinda boring. But I heard the DLCs are better

I personally enjoyed arceus the most out of those three options
the setting, battle system, and quest availability make it alot of fun
that and the fact you can catch all the pokemon and evolve them without bs trade mechanics from the mainline series makes it better
also the battles reach cynthia tier by the end of it so its not a cakewalk like the mainline series either

New snap. It has the modern nintendo problem of being impossibly slow but it's quite relaxing and avoids the problems necessitated by pokemon gameplay.

do you post on the fujo ib?

>>35219
Ntayrt but fujochan sucks

>>35213
I hope the extended downtime gives problem posters and opportunity to reflect on their actions. It was nigh unusable for the past few months.

>>35223
Nah. It's not run competently though.

>>34765
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.

Onisama E same author

>>34089
Seconding this. If you like manga just jump down the Ryoko Ikeda rabbit hole. If you like musicals get into Takarazuka.

Oniisama E, Magic Knight Rayearth, and there are like heaps of classic nonanime shoujo–but try the Internet's series catalogs' searches.

Old shoujo manga are generally good. They're still being made but I've heard that they literally reject the good shit in shoujo magazines these days because of sexism ("girls only read manga about love and fashion", that kinda shit) so the female authors that want to publish their cool female protagonist stories have to do so in shounen, seinen or general magazines, and don't get the shoujo label, so they're not very obvious at first. I believe The Ancient Magus's Bride is one such example.

I love AMB do you have any other recs for similar vibes since they are difficult to find. Would love to find more shoujo/josei skewed action/adventure mangas
