Pardon me but what really is an anime?
A few examples would do

It is usually used to refer to Japanese animation.
Or animation made by japanese animation studios.

Examples are Attack on Titan, Naruto, One Piece, Hunter x Hunter, Ruroini Kenshin (Samurai X), Cyberpunk: Edgerunners

Now I decided to watch Avatar, but not about blue guys, only real mages and you know why most of all I love this anime, Soka, his naive and silly humor in serious situations makes you laugh, no matter how bad I am in a bad mood, maybe it says that I am also stupid).

Avatar is not an anime tho...

Just anime-inspired

NeoWanZaeed:
TH! Which improvement again..


That shows got nothing lesser than 101/100

Tell that to HALO fans

Our defenders are good at tackles but are awful at positioning and recovering position

Kaycee7:
If I was Sekine, there's no Jupiter you'll move that'll convince me that it's not what I'm thinking that wanted to happen here

I need to catch up with this show...

I was waiting to binge it lol


But honestly these two should date already. From the last episode I watched, he seemed to finally realize she liked him.

Which would have been pretty obvious since if not for his self esteem issues.

I can't wait for them to start dating abeg. They're such a good couple

Watching videos like these remind me why Attack on Titan should be studied...

Genuinely one of the best shows at analyzing human nature, human desire for conflict, the cycle of violence and wars...

And one idîot will watch the show and say Attack on Titan is glorifying genocide or is a fascist show...

Fastest way to know a person who lacks media literacy is to see someone call this show a Nazi Propaganda

The show tackles ignorance as merely false peace that does not solve the problem of conflict in the uprising arc in S3P1

Peaceful genocide (Zeke's Euthanasia plan) while practical is not a solution either as human conflict cannot be resolved through it...

Same as Eren's genocide through the Rumbling not being the right path to end the conflict (yet some fans fail to realize this)

Argylle......6/10


*No spoilers

The movie doesn't take itself too seriously. It's a generic fun casual spy thriller but with a lot of twists.

However most of these twists are pretty predictable and they don't even make a lot of sense...
The twists also require a hard sell and a massive suspension of belief to even take seriously at all...

Personally I don't like the way the twists in this movie are handled....most of them are very predictable despite being so many...

Even those you couldn't see coming are just ridiculous rather than brilliant. The movie doesn't make sense and doesn't try to make sense. It's just a shut-off-your-brain-and-watch movie...

If you're into those type of movies, you'll enjoy it, if you hate those type of movies, you'll see it as a waste of time.

If you're on the fence...it's a decent watch...

There's also a post credits scene that also tries to add another weird twist that makes no sense and falls apart within 1 second of thinking...

Kaycee7:
Even with how stacked the upcoming season is, I'm not ready for this to stop airing. Show's too peak.

Weren't you the one complaining of people posting series in the movie thread and vice versa? 🌚

If hollywood were to do this would have been filled with drugs s3x alcohol and zero story sense

Googled this...
The premise looks interesting...
I'll start downloading tonight

Starts out slow but becomes incredible later on.

The first 7 episodes were very mid in my opinion...It took me 3 tries to watch...
I slept off over 10 times before episode 8...

Yet somehow it became incredible later on. The character writing went up a notch...same as the worldbuilding... everything just suddenly became good

Currently at episode 22

Which anime is this?

Demon Slayer season 4

Katara mastered Waterbending very fast too in the cartoon.

The entire 3 seasons of the cartoon happened in about 1 year or so...

Katara went from barely able to waterbend to being able to go toe to toe with masters who had 30+ years experience...in just a few months training...

@ GrimValor

Here is an example of Better Call Saul's highly praised cinematography. Even many people on this thread also praise the show for it's cinematography.

Best Cinematography is not about using flashy lights and visuals. You were just showing me flashy fight scenes with many colors and saying it deserves an award for best Cinematography.

There is a separate award for Best animation or visuals and Best Cinematography

Kaycee7:
Damn! This was some good cooking.

The same problem. Supporting posts that insult instead of countering arguments. Rather than condemning insults in arguments, you support it.

You yourself will then come back later to complain how someone you're arguing with is resorting to insults rather than making points.

The moment a person introduces insults into an argument...they only detail the argument since no one can have any mature discourse anymore.

I mean, would you even take seriously the post of someone who insults you?

Speakout03:
WOW Smooth

Herein lies the problem.

Since you support posts that insult when they have no argument... people will continue to do the same.

@ GrimValor

Again, back to the original argument.

Bleach TYBW does not have outstanding cinematography. Flashy visuals is not outstanding cinematography.

Ask yourself why Bleach was not nominated. Or why even Bleach fans and everyone else made no uproar as to Bleach not being nominated for that category.

There were uproar as to lack of nomination of several shows for different categories. There were uproar as to several shows losing various categories e.g Vinland Saga losing anime of the year. Chainsawman losing best cinematography caused an uproar

No one said anything about Bleach for best Cinematography because everyone knows it was not in competition.

The major contenders for Best Cinematography were:

1. Chainsawman
2. Heavenly Delusion
3. Vinland Saga

Bleach was not even in the contest at all. Even Jujutsu Kaisen that won it didn't deserve the award but won based on popularity.

The average movie/series discussion by Nigerians on Twitter and nairaland -


A: "This movie is trash 2/10"
B: "What are the issues with this movie, I think it was great"
A: "The acting was nonsense, infact the movie was just trash"
B: "Can you explain how it was trash, I thought the character arc of x character was done well, the story kept expanding and revealing layers"
A: "You're saying nonsense, it was just trash and I don't owe you any explanation...I'm free to call any movie I like trash, it's my opinion"
B: "But you should be able to explain or defend your opinion"
A: "Mumu leave me alone, it is trash and that is all"



OR


A: "This movie was great"
B: "I thought it was awful. (Proceeds to write and explain in long paragraphs many issues with the movie)"
A: "Mumu, you're saying nonsense, the movie was good. Everything you're saying doesn't make sense. You are expecting it to be like your favorite movie."
B: "tell me how my points don't make sense. And what brought my favorite movie into this conversation?"
A: "leave me alone, the movie was good, if you don't like it move along. Your favorite movie is trash"



Even though I tend to disagree with some people here and argue with them, I very much prefer those over the ones who make random statements that they cannot defend and resort to insults

The average movie/series discussion by Nigerians on Twitter and nairaland Part Two (2) -


Person A - *makes a point
Person B - You're wrong, it is actually this
Person A - I disagree with your opinion, here is X and Y reason
Person B - you're a fôol, you have no sense...this is why everyone makes fun of you. You have never had sense. You need to grow up.
*Proceeds to write 10 paragraphs insulting Person A because he has no point to counter


The fastest way to know the person who has no point in an argument, is to check the person who throws the first insult.

Someone who is confident of his points and can defend same will give clear arguments without needing to resort to insults.

The person claiming to be an adult is the one writing 10 paragraphs to insult another person online instead of engaging in a mature argument.

As much as I criticize the Reddit upvote and downvoted system, at least in most cases you get downvoted when you counter a solid argument with insults rather than your own argument.

GrimValor:
Clowning? Insults? Trust me kiddo, if there ever came a time that i decide to go down that road you'd be the first to know. What your little ego perceived to be insults was merely a statement of obvious facts, well not obvious to you apparently what a shocker.

No points to make he says? I even earmarked it all out for you. I mean what more do you need? A little bit of underlining in red perhaps?. Or ohh wait a second, yes i finally got it, maybe going at it with a set of colorful highlighters to make it easier for you to see and assimilate like a child going at it with crayons on his brand new set of coloring books just painting away?. Maybe that ought to do it for you don't you think?.

Evade, a screenshot post here and there in a pathetic attempt to try and support your convoluted reasonings, persist, rinse and repeat. And there is our little Precious in a nutshell basking under the glow of a tiny bit of attention ahh what a genius, he lives off of it. What a high it must be for you? 9.5 out of 10 of every one of your obnoxious posts on this section is all about eliciting a response, any response at all will do. So you can get the chance to show off just how stunningly brilliant you are by dancing around the point, even the ones you previously made by your own self like a headless chicken all in a bid to drag it out and feel special. When someone air's an opinion you don't like on a show that they watched by themselves and it just so happens to be one you enjoy, you will basically demand they come and explain themselves to you and if they refuse to engage you further, you result to petty taunts about how they don't have any points to make, about how they were running away, how they don't even understand what they watched in the first place because only you can understand...My my what it must feel like to be you. Am going to go out on a limb here and do something that no one has done for you here in a while, why you ask? what's the point you say? If only to watch you spectacularly fail one hundred percent to understand once more, If i were a betting man you'd easy money at this point. So here goes nothing...

As an adult the first thing you need to learn is that knowledge about any subject, no matter how controversial it may be is infinite. And it's literally impossible for anyone ( whether your IQ is as high as the star's, or as low as dirt beneath the deepest ocean ) to know everything. Memorize it, learn it, live it and it's not as difficult as you are making it out to be. You don't always have to stomp your foot on the ground like a petulant child every single time, over every little thing insisting on always being right. Come on son, it's not that hard. it's not a big deal to say okay maybe i didn't really think this/something was that good but it sure does have it's moments, end off. Heaven's forbid you ever come out to actually say i was wrong, the whole planet would probably cave in on itself and implode if that ever happened right? and you are just the tortured hero shouldering this massive burden just to try and keep us all safe right?

Every single year scores of awards gets given out in the entertainment industry. Grammy's, Emmy's you name it, and there is always going to be that album, that song, that show, that doesn't get the recognition it deserves in some category not because it fell short of the ones that were infact recognized but just because it's the way it is. It happens all the time and will continue to happen and that doesn't in any way translate to the said content being bad or below average, because like it or not there will still be people out there who enjoyed and think very highly of it and not getting some award won't change that and it's okay to acknowledge their opinion and move on. Which is something your very myopic mind just can't seem to digest or fathom. Sometimes it's okay not to try too hard buddy, it really is okay...

And If you are just tunning in as a regular here, or new to our weekly episodes of "Precious Blunders" and wondering what the heck is going on. Or if there are any recap episodes worry not folks, as this show isn't like any other regular weekly show on the planet as episodes drop randomly and you can get 2, 3, even 4 episodes in a week. YES!!! you heard that right and guess what? it's just Monday and we already have a new episode and we still have 6 more days to go YAY!!!. What about the hotline you say? Well it's always open but am gonna warn ya, any attempt to further engage might just lead to you flinging your Precious ( you see what i did there dintcha? ) phone's into oblivion coz you see he is not just a rocket scientist no no, he is a surgeon, a court jester, a teacher, a musician, the most sought after movie director of all time, any occupation you can think of, he already has it under his belt, he is everything and if there was ever a Jack of all trade and master of every single one it's him. He has seen and done it all and his opinion on any and i mean anything at all is irrevocable and absolute and we mere mortals couldn't possibly hope to ever change that. So folks don't bother, and this is a bit of a trade secret but am gonna be giving it out for free for those of you just joining us and it's quite simple really...save yourselves the effort and do what our old timers tunning in from all around the globe have been doing since this show hit our screens years ago as will i myself henceforth and it's simply to watch and enjoy!! Hahaha!!!

And with that i bid you Good night, Good morning or Good afternoon wherever you are and always remember to stay safe folks. And i am your humble host for the day.... ________ .... signing out...🥱😴

No way you wrote this expecting me to read it all...
I'm not that jobless to read so many paragraphs of your nonsense insults.

The person claiming to be an adult is the first person to throw insults in an argument? The irony...

If you have a point, simply stick to the argument...

If you had the strength to write 10 or 20 long paragraphs to insult someone, you could have better spent that time arguing your point instead.


This is the problem I have with several Nigerians. Once they have nothing to say in an argument, they resort to insults...

It's one of the fastest ways to know someone who has no point in an argument. A person who has a point will drop succinct points...

The one who has nothing in his head to justify is point will start dishing insults because he has nothing to say

typicalgamer:
Game of thrones was peak until it nose dived in latter seasons

Why Witcher never comes to game of thrones is beyond despite Witcher books selling just as well as got books

I don't think Witcher stood any chance of being like GOT.

It does not have the intricate politics and worldbuilding that GOT has. The show writers failed to work on the worldbuilding...it was almost like they assumed everyone had read the books...

Even the budget sef...
An entire City is literally just one room...how can we take such worldbuilding seriously when all we see of some cities are just one room and parlour...?

Instead of focusing on building landscape, they'd rather show us random encounters in random forests or random drinking hubs...

Basically, everywhere outside the usual one room per city, looks the same...

GOT knew how to give each city an atmosphere. They used different filters and effects for different Cities.
You could easily tell the North from Kingslanding even before seeing the characters because they look different...

Btw...

How many times will you post about this show saying the same thing?

Chibudollar:
I hated dune 1 with absolute passion, now the part 2 is out with so much hype and I am definitely going to watch to see what the hype is all about, part 1 was sand and vibes , hope the 2 is better.

Part 1 was great...I'm gonna rewatch it before I watch part 2

GrimValor:
This is basically your M.O, I have been on this thread for year's and 99.999% of the time you just keep twisting and running around in circles instead of admitting what's right in front of you because of your incessant need to always be right. Which is why most old timers on this thread who are also aware of this, just scroll past your posts at lightning speed because trying to have any sort of discuss with you is an endeavor riddled with futility.

*GrimValor - What does cinematography mean to you personally?

*Baddestguyp - When you're talking cinematography you're talking about great shots using different angles or techniques. Wide angle shots, Close up shots, Low angle shots etc....

Do you know how many different angle shots was used in TYBW the moment Shinji said the word "Bankai"? Kenpachi Vs Gremmy? Ichigo Vs Sternritter J? Old man Yama Vs Yhwach (clone) and so many others?

** The two screenshots from Shinji's slaughter party is basically two shots of the same thing/scene from different angles, one from Shinji's perspective to tell the story of what he was seeing/witnessing in that very moment and the other from the angle of the wandenreich solder's. But of course Baddestguyp won't see it because it's not Chainsawman.


** How about the two wide angle shots of Gremmy's meteor descending from the sky? The low angle shot of Gremmy beneath the meteor? The close up shot of Kenpachi's face as the meteor bears down upon him? All this various shots of the same event happening at the same time to expand the visual effects of the story...But of course Baddestguyp won't see it because it's not Chainsawman.


** How about the two shots of Kenpachi? One wide angle shot of him finally acknowledging his title of Kenpachi with his zanpakuto leaning on his shoulders and then proceeds to lift it off his shoulders and place it in front of his face but instead of the camera angle to pan out to show it happening, it instead zooms in further to his eyes in an even more pleasing manner to tell the story of what he was looking at....But of course Baddestguyp won't see it because it's not Chainsawman.


** Again, How also about the wide angle shot of Kenpachi as he is about to release his shikai? A very close up shot of his Zanpakuto handle as it extends to it's shikai form? And then proceeded by a wider angle shot to show kenpachi holding Nozarashi in all it's glory? But of course Baddestguyp won't also see this one because why? It's not Chainsawman.


** What of the close up shot of zombie girl's eye looking on in horror as Mayuri takes control of her zombies and tells her she's dead? And the wide and low angle shot of Mayuri flanked by two zombified Captains as he looks down in glee at zombie girl's fear and reaction? But of course Baddestguyp won't see it because it's not Chainsawman.


** How about the last three shots? The close up shot of Kenpachi's eyes as Gremmy begins to activate his bombs? A wider angle shot of the bombs surrounding Kenpachi at the moment of detonation? And an even more wider angle shot to convey the magnitude of the explosion as it unfolds? But as always Baddestguyp won't recognize his so called cinematography shots because it's not Chainsawman...

Just continue with your Tomfoolery as always... Coz your monikers and obnoxiousness are like 5 & 6 🙌.

You are just a clôwn 🤡🤡🤡

As usual, when you have no point you resort to insults.


The Bleach TYBW you are hyping was not even nominated for Best Cinematography. There is a reason.

You are literally the first person that has ever mentioned Bleach TYBW for Best Cinematography. It's obvious you don't even know what the category entails...

Even the biggest Bleach fans won't open their mouth to say that Bleach should win best cinematography. They argue for other categories and not Cinematography.

Next time, learn what the award entails before embarrassing yourself like this...

Abi, na only you out of the nomination board and the 72 million fans that voted understands what Cinematography is?

Keep clôwning yourself


Cinematography is not just about spamming flashy colors

GrimValor:
✨

You dey show me colors...
Abi you no sabi wetin be cinematography?

GrimValor:
🙄 Now i know you are just pissing around...
At this point I don't even know which BLEACH TYBW you are watching, because it's most definitely not this one.🤭
BLEACH TYBW visuals are GOATED 💯 period✨✨✨

I said cinematography, not visuals
