Welcome to Lemmygrad's corner dedicated to anime memes and discussion! (manga/manhua/manhwa/donghua/aeni count too)

Remember to Read the Rules™:

  1. Absolutely no racism, no transphobia, no homophobia, no ableism, no misogyny, none of that!

  2. No low-quality images. Images containing text should be legible.

  3. Please mark spoilers with the prefix "[SPOILER]" in the title of your post.

  4. Please mark NSFW content as such. This does not, however, mean you can post hentai.

  5. Absolutely no NSFW content containing or involving minors will be tolerated.

Please report any posts or comments that are in violation of the rules.

Guidelines

  1. Try to keep it left; memes don't need to be socialist in nature, but it'd be nice if we could keep the discussions that way.

  2. Posts do not necessarily need to be about anime memes, they can also be about other things related to anime, or having an 'anime' art style.

  3. Try to provide sources for the images you post.

  4. There's nothing else for now. We hope you have a great time!

It is said that a picture is worth a thousand words. In this case, it holds an infinite amount of secrets. These are secrets that only Cheng Xiaoshi and Lu Guang are able to find. In a small shop called "Time Photo Studio," the two friends provide a special service: using their extraordinary powers that let them enter photographs, they jump into pictures brought to them by clients in order to grant their wishes. Through the eyes of the photographer, they live through the events surrounding the picture and try to decipher how to solve their client's request.

But every time they jump into a picture, they take a great risk. One wrong move and they could alter the future of the person who took the picture... and possibly countless other events too. So when the events they are forced to live through in these pictures start to become personal, it will take the utmost strength to push their feelings aside and focus on accomplishing the task they were paid to do.

We’ll start at 5:00 PM EST on Blorptube, right here: https://blorp.bot.nu/o/visual_cuisine

Be there, comrades!

Yep you read the episode order right; I think EP5.5 is a bonus episode.

In the case of special episode 5.5 (I think of bonus levels like those in Doom)

At the Time Photo Studio, partners Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi accept jobs of a peculiar nature. With the aid of their complementary abilities, they are able to leap into photographs—thereby entering the past. One such case involves Liu Siwen, whose only wish is to marry his one true love, Ou Yang. However, her martial arts master father is apprehensive of a suitor who is an outsider and refuses to give his permission unless Liu Siwen defeats him in an honest duel. After years of trying and failing miserably because of his less-than-impressive skills, Liu Siwen finds himself seeking the help of Lu Guang and Cheng Xiaoshi. The two hatch a plan to outwit Ou Yang's father, but what seems simple in theory is rarely as easy to execute in reality…

@animemes Manga review: Chi no wadachi (a trail of blood).

yes i like the joje, i drew dio once in the style of those christian sonic drawings. 2022. i can't draw people much

couldn't watch past chef tony from part 4, i kept rewatching the same episode over and over and over. i also liked reading the duwang version of part 4, that joel video of duwang made me want to look at jojo stuff

imo this shows that ai art sucks but the solution he gave ("laws lol") kinda don't work at the moment. also that's a lib take and i am REALLY sorry for not saying that lmfao. straight up ass

ai image generator companies actually make the end user pay for their attorneys and shit back when disney sued them for being able to generate homer simpson with three eyes or some shit

according to paragraph 10 of midjourney tos, they'll come to your house and take your money for attorneys and shit and the only source i can use is a weird possibly computer generated website and i do not trust myself about it, i read their tos using ctrl+f and writing "attorney" and it mentions attorney fines and shit so yea it checks out

I watched on a recommendation and, well, I can understand the appeal if you are a trans woman or at least curious, but overall at least half of it is a slice of life about girls just doing random stuff. It's not even particularly about being trans since the MC doesn't seem to think much about being transed other than the mechanics and day to day of being the opposite gender.

Maybe I'm reading too much into it?

Reminds me of the time when I believed in communism. I even have a mug left.

MugMug0 Mug1

Ref It's a pity to throw it away, despite the fact that it is of poor quality. Maybe someday it will fall apart on its own.

Although I can't say that the ideas of communism are wrong. Free (Libre) Open Source Software is a good example of this (to some extent). Rust may also have leftist roots, judging by how its community promotes it to the masses (just joking, cool lang indeed).

P.S.I don't think this can be attributed to politics, but just in case, I'm sorry if I hurt your feelings or views. I didn't mean to, really.

I recently watched both and really liked it.

A friend have been recommending me to watch Solo Leveling for a while now, and despite my fears of it just being another generic ass story and protagonist, I actually enjoyed it.

The only 2 complaints I can think of right now are that the other characters aren't really that interesting outside the protagonist, so I kinda don't care about them very much, and I think not having any commentary on the very predatory capitalism showed in the story is a bit of a let down, like, the protagonist barely makes money, there's literal monopolization of portals and creation of guilds for profit seeking, yet there's 0 commentary on that, unless I missed something.

That being said, I like the protagonist, he's not an extremely evil or perfectly good guy, he's just a dude that got dragged along and have to make some though decisions here and there.

Spoiler for the end of the seasonAlso, at the end of the first season the dude becomes a necromancer, and I'm a sucker for necromancy, so I'm excited to see where it goes lol.
.

For Trigun, I watched the old anime a while ago, and I thought this new one would go a completely different route, but I was gladly surprised with how it turned out. I just finished watching it and I really liked it. I never read the manga so I don't know how close it is to the original story, but I was shocked with how different it was from the old adaptation. I remember a lot of people complaining about Vash's new design, but honestly the only issue I have with it is that it's a bit too simple lol, I wish his clothing was more complex/overdesigned.

Spoiler about the storyThe only real complain I have with the story is that it doesn't really tries to counter Knives' narrative.

Like, he's obviously right about how the plants are used and killed by humans, but he's a genocidal manipulative race supremacist that wants to create a paradise for his species with all means necessary, and the only thing to counter his narrative is Vash saying it doesn't need to be like that and that humans and plants can coexist, but never explaining how, never addressing the issue with how plants are used and discarded.

I really hope this gets tackled in the next season, because right now it makes it seems like Knives actions and way of thinking was justified.

It's also mentioned how humans basically destroyed Earth and had to send colonizing ships to another planet, but there's no deeper conversation or commentary about how that happened or why it might happen again in this new planet, the narrative is always pointed towards the whole human race being evil and being the issue, and not the current structures that make these things happen. Seems a bit shallow to me.
