I like the deranged monkey-esque expressions from S1 the best. S2 has the better portions though. S3 feels too moeblob and S4 is wonky.

Osomatsu-kun 88 is finally physically available for pre-order from Discotek! I hope they end up doing the 60s series as well.

Sorry to doublepost but maybe we've exhausted the Louis conversation so can we discuss More… does anyone ship shumoa and if so please tell me your shumoa hcs

we can discuss more if you want but i'm not into shumoa.
what about more do you want to discuss?

fandom are sleeping on more
i need to see him fuck and be fucked

Father x son?

Welp, Thunderbolt fantasy is officially over. Just watched the finale movie. I know the time loop ending with Shou was already set up previously but it was still wild as hell that he's just confirmed to be the time traveling child of his two best friends. Also my fujo heart soared when he and Rin had that final banter moment as they descended into the demon realm. All around I had a great time. I'll miss my puppets but I know all good things must come to an end.

Would be disappointing if they hetted poor Miya but I could see it. At the very least they should give us some new sk8ers in 2 to make up for it.

>more Shadow, he's very fun
Yes please! The whiplash between his skater persona and real job is super funny.

>Favorite ships?
Renga and TadaAi!

>What content do you want to see in season 2?
More about everyone’s backgrounds. Also more interactions between Miya and Adam! It would also be cool to see Reki + Langa care a little bit about their futures.

>Thoughts on the OVA?
It was really good, I liked the humor and the animation was nice as well! My favorite part was probably the TadaAi bit, especially with Ainosuke’s changed behavior towards Tadashi. I loved Shadow’s parts and it sucks that the manager was revealed to be taken in the main series so it’s just Shadow falling deeper to no avail.

>Best boy?
A tie between Reki and Shadow.

>>4349
That concept art made my day wow
>I'm continually let down by what happens to the "main girl" in shonen-tier media
Same, I'm also tired of really lame useless female characters. I just want a good story. I would rather just have female characters not exist in situations like this vs them just existing to be love interests on the sidelines. Imagine how much worse Hunter x Hunter would be if there was just two girl characters waiting around for Gon and Killua to return from their adventures or something lmfao.

I like SoRiku stories that go into Riku's jealousy and even superiority complex over Sora kek. I want to inject internalized homophobia and denial of his attraction to Sora into my headcanon narrative
>there's no way I could be attracted to Sora
>Sora's worse than me
>but I wish I could be like Sora
>there's no way I could be gay
this makes me want to write fic again with some sort of Giovanni's Room-type style headfuck kek, but I'm not super great at writing

>>4342
>The Sora, Riku and Kairi trio is slightly better simply because it's carried by Sora and Riku's dynamics.
That trio is barely even a trio. Riku and Kairi are not friends and their relationship revolves around Sora only. They are both too jealous of the other's bond with Sora to be friends properly. Riku was worried about her in KH1 but only out of guilt over what he's done. In KH2 he helped her out but was not agonizing over cutting her off from his life like he was with Sora. He could have visited her anytime at the islands, but he only did so when Sora woke up. In the paopu scene in KH3 she disregarded Sora's worries that Riku was distancing himself just so she can have her special moment with him. If Kairi and Riku were actual friends she wouldn't let Riku isolate himself like that. When Riku thought he wasn't worthy of being around Sora anymore and was fine with never seeing him again, Sora searched for him everywhere, reassured him that they're still friends and dragged him back to the islands. Riku and Kairi never go to such lenghts for each other.
Sorry nonna but the BBS trio at least care about each other equally.

>>4350
SoRiku are the central relationship in the series (not SoKai).
Days/KH2 is my favorite era for them because it's so angsty. Anytime I think that Sora doesn't know that Riku spent an entire year keeping watch over him, sacrificing his body in the process, I want to cry. Riku's love for Sora is so big and Sora will probably never know the full extent of it. In KH2 Mulan's world, Riku seeing Sora and not being able to resist sparring with him because he misses him so much just fucking gets me. Sora recognizing Riku just from his presence in that fight because he knows him so well… tell me that's not true love.

>>4351
Sometimes I think I wouldn't mind SoKai being canon only because that would intensify Riku's jealousy and quiet yearning but then I stop myself because it would be too cruel for him. He should enjoy beautiful lovemaking with Sora everyday of his life.

>>4351
Exactly, when I think of games with solid romance, Final Fantasy X and Shadow Hearts come to mind right away. The female leads in those stories play active roles, which really helps the emotional arcs.
In general thou I think the Final Fantasy series does a better job handling female characters, even though I still really like Aqua and Namine.

I also like to imagine that when they were younger, Riku was a bit hesitant about letting Kairi into their friend group. It always felt like Sora and Riku mostly stuck to each other, and Kairi was kind of the newcomer. So it's fair to say that, with all of Riku’s jealousy toward Sora, he never fully embraced that trio dynamic Sora seemed to want. It’s kind of funny how both Riku and Kairi just want Sora for themselves, while Sora’s just off being his usual clueless self.

Veeeery niiiiiiice episode today. Ciel getting roughed up and choked looked a lot better than I remember it being in the manga kek. Sebastian hurry up and rescue your bocchan already! I also completely forgot Vincent's conversation with Diedie takes place in this arc so that was a nice surprise for me. Super cute dadson moment omg!!

>>4317
God damn that veiny fist… Cloverworks really worked hard

>>4317
That episode was incredible! So many of the scenes were just beautiful. I especially loved this frame of Sebastian, it was always my favorite manga scene of him. Cloverworks did a great job with this one.

I hope we also get a filler episode at the end of this arc, like how they ended Public School. Would love to see the Diedie cooking segment extra. It was hilarious, I really lost it at Vi realizing that one of his sons is as much of a psychopath as he is. Crazy really runs in the family kek.

>>3844
Holy shit, thank you. I'm actually the person who posted the original source image, but I lost track of who the artist was. I also owe you my life, kekk.

To KaiLen shippers: what are your personal headcanons for the two? I like how they look together but for as long as I've liked Vocaloid I still struggle to come up with scenarios for them. Due to the lack of canon my interpretation of their relationship varies from song to song and I can't really think of anything. I would like to hear your thoughts..

>>4240
Wow two nickels!

I don't think we are back. I have a general interest in Genshin's story so I'll probably be around until EoS, but I think Sumeru was the peak (in many ways) and our fanservice will be limited to events with the ones who are already fruity rather than any new fruit.

I had the Alhaitham/Kaveh brainworms jump me the other day so I spent a few days in the tag and it still hits pretty good (lots of landmines tho). I'm still kinda butthurt they didn't make Kaveh like Sara/Gorou/Faruzan/Mika where he is unsubtly tied to a 5* as a support unit.

nah I've had enough of the doomposting. the flagship event this patch was mostly male-centered, and a shota got the game's only instance of (implied) nudity. I'm ok with girls being FOTM one-offs, and the guys getting actual story content. it's easier to save when there's fewer males anyway

>>4278
It's not doomposting to acknowledge reality. Everyone called the leaker a doomposter when they wound up being correct. Who gives a single fuck about an event? I don't want only fluff events, I want characters in the story to do things. The guys aren't getting the real story content, look what they did in Natlan. It's telling people to keep getting fooled by Hoyo to say the guys will do something in the story when Nod Krai is going to be like Natlan and Skirk is their newest shilled waifu who will be harembait for Aether. Durin being their only playable male five star while they do waifu patch after waifu patch is a slap in the face and people like you encourage people to accept it. I can understand it because no other gacha game has a big budget and panders to fujos, because the CN gacha industry won't allow it because the games for women need to be otome. So I do understand thinking that Genshin and Star Rail are the best for fujos right now since they don't actually shut down shipping like LADS does, but this doesn't mean that Hoyo themselves should be rewarded for what they've done. The gacha scene being a mess like this is due to Dawei and his bullshit.

Does somebody remember official art of Camille sitting on coach with bare legs like a pin up lady? Was it fanart? It was so hot…

>>4139
Nvm, I found it as soon as fixed his name kek
It's real, it did exist. He also posed naked. Why is drip marketing not shaped like this in current days

>>4141
SEXOOO
