/bl/ - General BL

The overuse of what is probably clip studio brushes on the hair … if you look closely, strands just appear and overlap with no order.

What do you call that thing in art where the lips look all blurry at the edges like in your picture? I hate that.
>Everyone's so yassified like it's a BL about IMVU/Second Life characters,
KEK, they do look like that.

Arms for miles.

I started to wonder if Kurosawa Rinko had always been doing this but looking back at other Adelta games it seems that for Cocoon and Umiiro Kyoushikyoku she made the guys' hair and eye colors look more distinct. So for Hashihime, Ultra c and Ooe I guess she's been restricting the guys' color palettes cause the games in general seem to have a signature color. Blue for Hashihime, Orange for Ultra C, and Red for Ooe.

>Cocoon and Umiiro Kyoushikyoku she made the guys' hair and eye colors look more distinct
I assumed it was because of the more fantastical setting, at least in the case of Umiiro Kyoushikyoku (haven't read Cocoon, but I think it has a sci-fi setting). UUUltraC, Hashihime, and Ooe all take place on some version of Earth.

Finished playing Silver Chaos today
Yes, it is very dated dogshit and yes, I still kinda enjoyed it because of that
It's fun to turn your brain off for the BL version of a mindless ecchi harem fantasy, but it really makes me wonder how moids can consume slop like this frequently enough where it's still a huge genre for them
Pam creeped me the hell out though, didn't they basically establish that he's ten years old? And in the ending it's specified he still has the mind of a child? Wtf but whatever all the H-scenes were dry and only lasted a minute anyways
I haven't checked if Eternal Fantasia or the sequel have English patches because I really don't want to jump back into the 00s idiocy yet, but maybe in the future I'll check them out

I'm pretty convinced that Kevin would have been gay if the manga wasn't aimed at older men, the dude knew his coach for a span of 3 or so months and became so emotionally attached to him that the coach's broken mask becomes Kevin's most prized possession after he leaves.

Mind you, Kevin is such a lone wolf that hates being told what to do that he ran away from home when he was a kid, and yet decided to allow a total stranger to coach him and essentially be joined to him at the hip because ????. Not to mention that the anime decided to adapt their scenes together by making the camera lingering between them.

To the nonna a while ago on here who said the Fight Club novel is gayer than the movie… I see the vision I didn't any BL vibes at all from the film but the novel might as well be a kove triangle.

I don't know if this even counts as fujo goggles because this is one of the gayest things I've ever seen in anime.

In general, I don't read unfinished stories because I've been burned too many times. However, I just read the original oneshots for The Summer Hikaru Died to see what people meant about the author retroactively changing it, and now I'm pissed. What the fuck? This is the kind of thing I'd be obsessed with if the author hadn't fucked it up. I'm glad I never got invested in it, but this sucks.

Monsterboy sex doujin will still be made. I hope.

So this is why everyone is calling the mangaka a sellout. I need to read this to, but I do enjoy the manga as it is because I've been reading it blind and saw the controversy so I didn't have specific expectations. I'm in Japan right now and I've seen ads for the anime adaptation on huge screens in Harajuku and in the Shibuya crossing so I kinda get why she did that. No way an actual BL manga would have had that much success, sadly.

It looks like his brother Sei is cosplaying as Aoba!

Is it me or there has been an uptick in old fujobait franchises getting more figurines recently?

I looked up the original CN para for that whump-filled part and put it through AI out of curiosity and ummm… yeah I think I might prefer the MTL for the sentence breaks. I believe whump-filled was chosen to highlight the "angst for the sake of angst", but whether that is an elegant or awkward approach as compared to spelling it out is up to you. Oh well.

I guess I just assumed Shen Yuan was being a petty bitch, because I never really noticed this before. Reading it isolated, it does sound strange.

>The flash of its blade was snow white, luminous but not blinding, definitely a top-class armament.
The editor should have been less hands-off. The official version needed more work done on it, especially correcting stuff like putting everything into one sentence and separating it with commas. This is just the Chinese syntax, which fan translators have severe trouble correcting (it's how you spot what country's novel you're reading the fan translation of lel).

Kyouken Hachiko - bottom letting some stranger fuck him because the stranger resembles his dead dog

When the killer falls in love / Killer Crush - a professional hitman develops a crush on a celebrity and struggles to maintain his professionalism

Red Thread Quest - Two college boys are tied together (literally) until they complete the intimacy challenges from a mysterious phone app. The chibis are wacky and adds a lot to the humor

Virtual Strangers / Guildmate next door - It's about an MMORPG game and the difference between the online and offline personas is hilarious

Can't think straight - 10000000000000% straight annoying chad has a crush on his openly gay and nerdy roommate. Hijinks ensue

Basic answer, but Happy Shitty Life. Chintsubu was also pretty funny.

Almost anything from Owal, her series are big on humor. IIRC Sweet Room Escape, Our House Love Trouble and Junjou Bitch were pretty funny.

No but there are less annoying ways to convey dialects and ways of speaking in English that aren't like your pic. Atakushi character's for instance being written to sound like rich sterotypes, or Ore characters tending to speak in rougher slang. A few interesting example of good localized dialects and speech patterns…

Yamada in Danganronpa THH uses "dono" to refer to all his classmates, as such he is the only character in the translation who uses English honorifics reffering to everyone as "Miss. Asahina" or "Mr. Naegi"

In the original Yu-gi-oh dub Joey Wheeler has a Brooklyn accent. It's one of the most memorable elements of the show and it comes from the fact that Joey doesn't use any honorifics and speaks in a "rude" tone. Since we associate Brooklyn accents with hustlers or otherwise ratty people it instantly tells us whst type of character he is.

And lastly for RPGs eapecially older titles on the NES and SNES given those take place in ye old fantasy Europe the translations lean into more sterotypical "thee" and "thou" style writing. Flowery perhaps, but effectively conveys the intended time and mood.

That one is fucking shit because typically in these games the characters talk in all sorts of ways that aren't nearly as old fashioned as these English translations. It's typically a case of translators imposing their headcanons on everyone because "that's just how it should ve based on Lord of the Ring which also has magic just like Final Fantansy and Dragon Quest does!" and then you see the main characters talk like your average shonen manga main characters the whole time in Japanese. In some cases it even make characters look ooc.

You are now remembering Funimation's policy to subtitle "oniisan" and "oneesan" as "bubba" and "sissy".

>>5266
It's the general aesthetic of the game, fits the tone well imo
With that being said I wouldn't mind a BLge that looks like diabolik lovers

Been busy, but I'm still playing Animamundi and I love Gemant's sprites, easily the cutest of the game. Mikhail is also tsun as fuck and the first thing he does upon reuniting with you is give you a hug in front of a confused royal guard.
The game right now is very plot heavy and any romance will certainly be a secondary element; it does have a lot of underlying homo tension though lots of sprites of men touching each other and getting handsy when they don't need to. The story right now is MC dealing with his sister being attacked and a mysterious doctor who he will be working under who was there at the scene of the attack.

To those asking the game gives you a ton of questions right at the beginning like you're playing Pokemon Mystery Dungeon, it's a personality test of sorts and one of them is specially if you would prefer the company of a man, woman, or both; I assume this removes any het right from the game.

They can look dark and gloomy without every single guy having the same exact hair and eye color combo.
