That's not a direct quote but that's his whole motive, yea. Basically he sees what Konoha made his brother do as a symptom of the current shinobi way of doing things so he wants to destroy it and start over. That's why he wants to destroy the villages.

How do you guys define a weebs and do you guys consider yourselves weebs

Weirdly deep and philosophical… like an a***ysis of systemic issues

Didn’t expect it from Sasuke opinion redacted

Degree of weebdom exists.

I think the first threshold is if you actively participate in a fandom forum or community on social.

Anime sticker on car side window

Collectibles (>4)

Possession of those character models you gotta assemble yourself

Ownership of a Prismacolor/ Copic marker set

Akatsuki robe

This what i think too and ppl who make anime they're whole personality

I think they're a difference of weeb and anime fan tho

Oh yeah other things involved. But I feel like that's the first step. Posting once or twice doesn't mean s***.

Arguing with someone whether or not goku can beat naruto for hours or if rent a girlfriend is a good show kinda goes past normie realms

Stickers one figurine and a metal wall print is required as well

Maybe, cept he stole his whole flow from Pain!

ownership of prismacolor market set

if you do cosplay or go to anime conventions u a weeb

to me that word has a negative connotation
i usually associate it w ppl who are obsessive not only about anime and manga but japanese culture as a whole
to the degree that it's the only thing they care about or it defines who they are as a person

nah i've been to a handful of conventions in my life and it's always just to buy merch

ur username is oldsushi and you have asian girl avi and i’m just gonna assume you’re white

you def a weeb

dont gotta cook my s*** breh
im latino tho dont lump me in with white folks

that’s fire mexican?

nah cuban

Weaboo is final form weeb.

Weeb is someone a little anime obsessed

Nerd is someone into anime

i prefer the term 'anime ass nigga' thank you very much

That's locked behind skin color sir

Gurren Lagann movies being re-released in early 2024 for North America, might go see

i've been a jjk hater but decided to actually sit down and watch it cause of the hype s2 is getting and i gotta say, it was pretty much the definition of style over substance. i'm sure nothing in this post will be new criticism of it but i wanna write it down anyway.

firstly, it's painfully obvious how much jjk pulls from it's influences. i see so much bleach, hxh and even gintama in this that sometimes it could be distracting

the biggest problem has got to be the writing. i know shallow writing isn't unique in shonen but man, there's just very little going on here. not a single one of the emotional or character moments hit with any impact at all. they all just felt like moments that were shoehorned into the middle of a fight because that's what shonen does, not because there was anything interesting or impactful that needed to be shared. not only that, but nothing in the plot felt unique either. i don't think there was a single moment were the story went somewhere that i didn't expect it to

the characters suffered from the writing just as much as the plot. the only characters i liked were todo, miwa and gojo, but that's really only cause i thought they were funny. pretty much the entire cast felt one dimensional and fairly cookie cutter. gojo is doing basically all the heavy lifting in terms of character and that makes everyone else look even weaker in comparison

but i didn't hate it as much as it might seem, it wasn't all bad. i enjoyed pretty much everything else that didn't have to do with the writing lol. i thought all the character and monster designs were very good, especially the monsters. it was also surprisingly funny, the humor was actually probably the best writing. i also thought all the powers were pretty cool and were used in creative ways. obviously where the show shines is the fight choreography. every fight had something unique going on and they were all really fun. finally, i thought the pacing was great. some episodes felt like they were 10 minutes long cause s*** just keeps moving and moving.

even though i got some pretty huge problems with the writing, i think i'll watch the movie and at least through s2. i think there's enough there visually to keep me entertained

Just watched Phoenix Eden: 7/10

It was pretty good. Aside from some minor criticisms of Nishimi overusing blur constantly and bad cgi at some points, I was surprised at how mild and collected a lot of the voice performances were. Surprised a lot by Com, a very cute character.

The background art in some shots during the last two episodes were phenomenal, I appreciate Nishimi not using cgi and instead using painted cut outs. As for sakuga it was pretty light. Nishimi unlike Konishi and Watanabe values simplicity over anything though the credits had a lot of new and old animator giants.

The story did a good job conveying the passage of time, although I thought some world-building was a tad undercooked. It is like that in the manga too since it was unfinished RIP TEZUKA

The series apparently has two different endings as this was released as a film and is streaming on Hulu

When it comes to major gripes, some parts go nowhere, and at one point a character makes a dramatic turn at the end that comes out of thin air, and only real reason for the change is retribution. Also a very tragic part of the story involving the fall of a civilization is handled pretty poorly, as there isn't a lot of gripping visuals to make it seem more impactful, it felt like it was oddly comedic and that just felt wrong.
