Please can someone recommend a good anime series? Wasn't a fan of animes until I watched Attack on Titan because of this lockdown. Please recommend a good one to watch.
Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood

Sadly there's going to be only 13 episodes, that's why everything is so fast paced. 24 episodes would have been too much imo as season one of the webtoon isn't that long.

I just hope it's successful sha. I really enjoyed episode one, but maybe it's because I already knew all the characters. I honestly hated the way they potrayed Yuri, Evan and Black March.
They made it to seem like Yuri and BM helped Bam just because he was cute, like Tower of god is one of those poorly written power fantasy harem anime.
Episode 2 was better though.

Another thing that is annoying me is the hate that it's getting. Some people think they can tell what the whole series is about just from one or two episodes. Although I'm not surprised cos a lot of people love to hate on shows that have hype like Demon Slayer.
In the anime's defence, Yuri did tell her navigator that she helped Bam because he had a cute face in the Webtoon. But from the way the scene was framed, I think viewers will be able to deduce that there's more to that.

They're moving into the crown game now. The way they handle would help to determine the quality of this adaptation.

Just finished episode 2 of Tower of God. Enjoyed seeing these characters brought to life. The anime seems to be trimming the fat from the source material to speed up the pacing.

With the rate at which the plot is moving forward, and provided that this season has 24+ episodes, the finale will most likely coincide with the season finale of the webtoon. That would be a fantastic place to conclude and it will most likely generate hype for a second season.

One minor gripe I have with this adaptation is the translation of names from Korean to Japanese and then to English. In my case, the subs show the original Korean name while the audio has the characters pronouncing the Japanese translation. So, you may end up seeing Bam or Baam in your subs while the characters are clearly saying Yoru. This is because Korean language characters (hangul) sometimes have a different pronunciation in Japanese and the Japanese just translate them directly when adapting to anime.

Just to clarify for anime-only viewers, all these refer to the same people:

Bam/Baam/Yoru

Rachel/Rahel/Lahel

Jahad/Zahard

Androssi/Endorsi

Done ✔️

Undisputed Best of last Season ✔️✔️
Based.

A very respectable opinion because this may be the most 'cultured' anime I've ever watched. Not only that but the comedy landed pretty well, the worldbuilding was better than expected, and the characters were likeable. Definitely one of favourites of the year so far.

That said, Dorohedoro in my opinion knocked everything out of the water. The character interplay, the lack of clear-cut heros and villains, the casual gore, and the sheer unpredictability had me hooked throughout its entire run.

As I've said many times before, 2020 is shaping up to be a good year for anime (barring all the stuff getting delayed because of the Wuhan flu).

Lol.... Calm down. It's obvious he hasn't. When I first read TOG, I was really confused at first and I almost dropped it. I'm sure a lot of the people just watching the anime will feel the same way.

Let's just hope thus adaptation stays faithful to the webcomic.

The Konosuba movie was nothing short of legendary. I don't know how this anime has continued to deliver laughs so consistently over the years.

I know a lot guys have already talked about it in this forum but when an anime movie is so good that the writer of Pulp Fiction is praising it on Twitter you really can't oversell it.

Easy 9/10 for me.

Just watched episode 1 of Tower of God. I couldn't have asked for a more faithful adaptation of this manhua. The line work and color palette are very close to the original. I don't see how any fan of the manhua can be disappointed with this adaption in the visual department. I am very excited for the next episode.

Between Dorohedoro, Beastars, Ishuzoku Reviewers, Psycho-Pass s3, Hands Off Eizouken, and now this, consider me hyped for what this year has to offer.

I heard he had to rush it because he was sick. My problem with the adaptation is the studio that will be behind it. If it's still going to be Pierrot, then it might get shittier.
Does that arc even deserve a good animation studio? The fights were all static hell with people standing around as stuff happened around them

I have mixed feelings about this one. The arc started off great but quickly took a nosedive, the ending was rushed and left a lot of plot threads unresolved. If they can fix these issues I'll happily watch it. If not, I'll probably still watch it but I'll be bitching about it the whole way through.

fieryy:
To be honest, I'm quite confused on where to even begin with.

First and foremost,

'I don't want my offspring to live in a world where Islamic culture is dominant like I do in Nigeria.'


this is ridiculous, Nigeria is not a country where Islam or the Islamic culture is dominant. This is a blatant lie. Nigerians in general are very religious. Nigeria is one of the most religious countries ever. Muslims like their Christian counterparts are as crazy about religion, and yes there might be more Muslims than Christians, but saying the Islamic culture is dominant in Nigeria. Come on!
Spoken like a true Southerner! In northern Nigeria, which accounts for than half of the country's population, Islam is dominant, to the point that most of it's states practice Sharia law with some even having religious (read: Islamic) police.

Now let's compare Sharia law to the law in Nigeria. While it is no secret that Nigeria is a deeply homophobic country and that homosexuality is punishable by up to 14 years imprisonment, Sharia states in Nigeria give the death penalty, i.e. death by stoning for a consensual act. The only people you'd see stoning people to death in the 21st century are Muslims.

fieryy:
2) I do agree western culture has created some of the best times to be alive in all history, but it seems you're implying this to be a result of Christianity. How?
I'm not saying it is as a result of Christianity. I'm saying that Christianity allowed it to happen because its teachings make concessions to the law of the land which later evolved into the separation of church if state.

'Give to Caesar what is Caesar's and give to the Lord what is the Lord's'

Verses like that one lays the foundation for what helped to divorce the government from religion.

fieryy:
3) You're right about this:
'Stronger kingdoms simply dominated weaker ones', which is why I asked you in the beginning
'First of all, and so? Isn't that what's been happening since the beginning of human history?'

You needn't tell me about how slavery didn't start with Christians and mention the arab trade, when this is only a topic because you fail to see the hypocrisy in your statements.
I'm specifically telling you how it was Christians ended slavery. I'm not saying it was because of Christianity or it was because of any biblical teaching but the truth is that people who identified as Christians were the ones who fought to end it.

fieryy:
I told you fron the very beginning that what is happening now, is what has been happening through the course of history. Nothing special. You however went ahead to list the numerous things Muslims did and did not, implying Christianity (not the western culture) is better.
So me mentioning slavery is me asking you how is that better? In fact, you're still yet to mention what Muslims have done that Christians haven't done. Of course, due to the advancement in technology there are now more effective ways of killing people, but that is not my point. I am simply calling you out for the hypocrisy in your statements.
Any time I argue with an Islamic apologist we always run into this particular roadblock. Yes, I know that Christians sucked throughout history and many still suck till today but the fact is that they generally don't suck as hard as they used to. Muslims, OTOH, have committed atrocities through history and are still committing atrocities till this very day. Modern Christianity is several orders of magnitude better than modern Islam.

For example, you can tell me that both Christians and Muslims are homophobic but when we look at the facts we see the that the Christian doesn't want to bake a cake for a gay wedding while the Muslim throws gays off buildings. At that point is it really honest to say they are just as bad as each other?

fieryy:
I mean survivors of the holocaust still talk about the trauma they experienced during Hitler's regime. One of Hitler's reasons had been 'This is God's will'. How is that different from a crazy islamist terrorist, who believes he's acting based on Allah's will?
Hitler said a lot of things about God over the years but to imply that he was a Christian is quite a reach. He may have believed in God but there isn't much evidence that he was a Christian.

fieryy:
Then you go ahead to say 'It wasn't unique to any race or religion. Colonialism was simply what the strong did to the weak'

Weeeell, darling evil is also not unique to any race or religion, but you've been making it seem so!
Ah sh*t, here we go again. All I am saying is that modern Christianity is the lesser (way way lesser) of the two evils when compared with modern Islam.

fieryy:
4) And also, noooo Christianity never reformed!!!!!!!


And this is where you get it all wrong. Christians (the people in western country) changed. This change is due to a lot of reasons like war, they got more enlightened, the advance in science etc, but Christianity is not one of those reasons!
Somewhere in Africa, Christians are using their Bible to justify homophob actions, while somewhere in Europe some Christians are embracing homosexuals due to the 'love your neighbours as you love yourself' the same Bible preaches!
The change in mindset is due to anything BUT Christianity or the Bible.
I agree with this but the reason such a change is difficult in Islam is due to the nature of the religious itself, Islam specifically dictates the culture of the people and the law of land, there is little wiggle room for reformation without both social and legal backlash which could be violent in nature.

fieryy:
Yes, 'Under Sharia law there is no separation of 'mosque' and state.', but what does this have to do with the Muslim immigrants?!

If you believe Europeans are going to shine their korokoro eyes and enable sharia laws in their countries, then you're on your own.

But assuming a change will occur, that is going to require us to move backward, adapt sharia laws muslim immigrants or those with immigrant parents from muslim countries DO NOT EVEN WANT is ridiculous.

For your mind, Europeans will start wearing hijab, abi?
When the Muslim population reaches a certain size relative to the local population, who will be the Europeans fighting against Sharia?

fieryy:

Death is natural and it doesn't mean we should all commit suicide. This however doesn't change the fact that we are all going to die someday. So just like death, change is natural. You can slow it down, but it's still going to occur. Just like death, you can't avoid it and just like death, you can whine about not liking it, but it doesn't care
Yet, we still warn people about the dangers of smoking and drunk driving. The fact that western culture will evolve doesn't mean it has to be because of Islam.

A few years back, Sweden released a weak, simpering PSA advising immigrants to stop having sexual relations with underage girls because it is against the law of the land. It really has me thinking, is this the standard they're going to hold the millions of immigrants who are coming in to? Because if it is Europe is screwed.

fieryy:
I need to ask a few questions to understand your conclusion. Does having a wife stop you from being sexist? Does having a child exclude you from being a paedophile and does having a black friend stop you from being racist?
The answer is no.

But it your definition of these terms is also important. Is it sexist to acknowledge the fact that since testosterone is linked to aggression and the average man has far more than the average woman, then men are, on average, more aggressive than women? Would it be sexist to acknowledge that since men have a wider IQ distribution than women, it may partially account for higher male prison population and likewise the higher population of make CEOs?

Is it racist to acknowledge crime statistics by race? Like how black people are overrepresented in violent crime statistics in most western countries. Would it be racist to say African technology was more primitive than that of the Europeans and Asians during at the time Europe made first contact? Would it be racist to point out how Nigeria and South Korea gained their independence around the same time and had a similar GDP but since then South Korea has grown exponentially while Nigeria is...well...Nigeria?

So before you call me Islamophobic you need to take the facts into account .
TV/MoviesRe: Thread For Anime Lovers (NO HENTAI PLEASE) by CoolUsername:
Just watched the first episode of Dorohedoro and I'm feeling hyped. This anime is so edgy that you can cut yourself from just watching it. It's like a metal band decided to make an anime. The over-the-top premise, the grimy, rundown setting, the casual brutality are peak 80s manga quality. If you're into that sort of thing, this anime may be for you

The opening sequence is also pretty damn amazing.

I'm definitely giving this one a watch. Don't sleep on Dorohedoro.

The western culture is a successful one because....?!

I mean, I'm still yet to understand what exactly your point is. What is happening now is what has always happened and will probably continue to happen!
It is natural for empires to rise and fall. It is also natural to push against cultures that opposition to your values. I don't want my offspring to live in a world where Islamic culture is dominant like I do in Nigeria. Modern western culture had created some of the best times to be alive in all history in terms of life expectancy, child mortality, and poverty rates and I don't want to see it replaced by Islam, rather I want Islam to reform like Christianity did.

fieryy:
There's no point telling me to read stupid statistics of what Muslims have done and not done, when these are things Christians have done in the course of history!
For centuries the West believed it was their God-given right to conquer territories on every goddamn continent, where the locals would be subjugated to their colonial masters. This, along with the rise of the Industrial Revolution is what makes western countries what they are today. As a matter of fact what still makes them what they are today is the ongoing never ending neocolonialism.
All cultures throughout history, from the Egyptian empire, to the Roman empire, to the Byzantine empire, to the Ottomans, the Chinese, the Persians, the British, even the little kingdoms that make up Nigeria were expansionist warmongers. It was the west, the Greeks to be precise that came up with this little thing called democracy that was eventually adopted by the world. Before that, stronger kingdoms simply dominated weaker ones. It wasn't unique to any race or religion. Colonialism was simply what the strong did to the weak.

Everyone sucked in the past, the issue is what they are doing today

fieryy:
You're talking about the poor white girls being raped, but not about the poor black girls who were raped and whose raped had been justified with the Bible. Hypocrite much?
It was horrible what the west did to the Africa but it was no different from what had been happening throughout history. Not even the Africans were innocent, it was African slaveowners that sold slaves to the whites.

But slavery didn't start with white Christians, in fact it was the very same Christians that fought to end it. The Quakers, William Wilberforce and Abraham Lincoln are prime examples of that, these men went against their fellow countrymen to fight for the rights of aliens.

The Arab slave trade however, that no one ever talks about (mostly because Muslims don't care) started in the 7th century and continues till today in some parts, while slavery was abolished in the West in the 19th century, it wasn't officially abolished in arab countries until the 1960s. So don't think it was only the whites that victimized Africans.

Christianity, although fundamentally flawed, was able to grow and enter into the age of enlightenment. Today, the most extreme Christians may be hateful, but they aren't stoning people to death for fornication, which is actually codified into the law in Islamic countries and still practised today. The other day I read an article about a musician in Kano that insulted Mohammed in a song, so the religious police arrested his parents because they couldn't find him. That is 2020 Islam in action.

fieryy:
And FOR ALL THE IGNORANT MINDS:

It was ISLAM that paved the way for Europe’s Renaissance. The order of algebra, magnetic compass and tools of navigation, mastery of pens and printing, medicine and science were all birthed in Arab countries. In fact, arabic science was the most advanced in the world up until the thirteenth century!
Yes, all this is true but has no bearing on the actions of modern-day Muslims. It would have made sense if Merkel was bringing in doctors and engineers instead of uneducated, and low-skilled liabilities to average taxpayer.

fieryy:
If not for the Mongol invasion and the four crusades, in which Christians wanted to reclaim a land that was never theirs, the western countries might probably be lagging behind the eastern ones, just like they had lagged behind other Mediterranean civilizations, such as that of the Byzantine Empire and the Islamic Empire of the Middle East and North Africa.

Displaying Muslims as Barbarians is absolutely wrong, as this are human beings as well. But calling out Muslims, calling them barbarians while hailing Christians for the exact same deed is you just being a hypocrite!

'Islam does not tolerate dissent, it violently opposes gay rights, women's rights and is inherently antithetical to a lot of western values'

And since when does Christianity does?! Or any kind of abrahamic relogion for that matter?!

The reason why Western countries tolerate accept such is certainly not because of Christianity, but due to the separation of church and state. Before this, such were impossible. Coupled with that, there's been a growing distant to churches in Europe and the education system itself encourages thinking for yourself!
You keep trying to equate what Christians did centuries ago to what Muslims are doing today it is completely disingenuous. I'm well aware of all the atrocities committed in the name of Christianity (you can check my post history) but I don't ignore the fact that Christianity has reformed today.

Thank you for bringing up separation of church and state. While this is a big reason for the reformation if Christianity it is unfortunately impossible for the same to happen where are Muslims in majority. That's because Islam has a political system embedded into its teachings. Under Sharia law there is no separation of 'mosque' and state. Yet, the majority of Muslims want Sharia law to become the law of the land. Do you see how this conflicts with western culture?

fieryy:
Besides, Muslims born and raised in western countries are far more liberal than their counterparts in the Middle East. This is normal and this is human. Africans abroad also are on the average more liberal that their counterparts in Africa.
This is only true as long as the Muslim immigrants coming in are fully integrated and assimilated into the local culture, this has not been the case in Europe so far mainly because the numbers are far too high.

fieryy:
Besides for you to assume the European/western culture is just going to go into oblivion is absolutely ridiculous. And for you to assume the laws and regulations will easily be replaced by foreign ones is even more ridiculous.

No, I'm not encouraging the destruction of any kind of culture. All, I'm saying is, this is a NATURAL COURSE, which has taken place for centuries and which will take place in centuries to come. In other words, whether you like it or not 'deal with! '.
It won't 'go into oblivion', but it would change to something almost unrecognizable from before. You said it yourself when you talked about North America and Australia. You're literally so close to the answer but you bewilder me with your conclusion.

Immigration and cultural change are natural but it is also natural to secure your borders and to have a sense of self-preservation. The fact that death is natural doesn't mean we should all commit suicide.

So why do Europeans want their children to live in such an uncertain future? Why do leftists believe that people who want to protect the stability of their culture are the second coming of Hitler?

I want to finish this by saying that I do not hate Muslims in any way. I have a lot of good people in my life that are Muslims. What I do have an issue with is Islam and anyone who takes it literally enough to commit or agree with the violence that it espouses.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Europe Leaving Christianity For 'Paganism'? by CoolUsername: 1:06am On Mar 14, 2020
LordReed:
I actually get what you are saying and it is a threat I think European governments have no clue how to deal with. Not that I blame them because like fieryy pointed out this is almost like the natural course of history. Islam also teaches world domination by Islam and teaches it that it is inevitable so Muslims really have almost no incentive not to dominate any place they occupy and given the nature of law and democratic institutions they will use it to their advantage. Look at that recent piece of news that said a New Jersey city was putting forward legislation that will allow mosques to use loudspeakers to do call to prayer. Guess what? There are muslims on the city council and this shows they successfully used democratic processes to push for their agenda.

I fear it is almost too late for Western democracies to do anything about it, mostly because they are doing nothing about it or they are entirely clueless. I think one solution is to staunchly entrench the separation between religion and state such that democratic institutions cannot be used to further religious agendas or institutions but the Christians think it is to their favour to allow religion to skew government because they are in the ascendancy right now. When the shoe is on the other foot they'll wish differently for sure.
Incredibly based thinking, Muslims are not afraid of using the freedom given to them by Western countries to subvert the culture of the land. A large percentage of Muslims see no problem with the institution of Sharia law as the law of the land. Now, when you look at the punishments that Sharia law prescribes for heinous crimes such as having premarital sex, being LGBT, or leaving Islam (all death of course), the real danger of mass immigration of Muslims should be clear.

I'll post the stats below for everyone to see.

Christianity EtcRe: Is Europe Leaving Christianity For 'Paganism'? by CoolUsername: 12:48am On Mar 14, 2020

First, you can't have a "demographic change overnight", such things take centuries. You just need check how long it took to establish Christianity over Britain's paganism to see that.

And the original religion evolves too as those you bring it to develop in further in their own minds which is usually a product of long learning through the ages. Even now, British Muslims predominantly have different understanding of Islam to say Nigerians. Even Nigerian Christians predominantly differ from British Christians!

If you seriously think British thought which they are very proud of, could be replaced with Islam that they have studied more objectively than likely any other nation on Earth, I'd say you don't know English, the greatest religion on earth.

Population of Muslims in UK, by the way, is like 5%. British people are not taking up a new religion, they are abandoning religion entirely.
The UK has already started taking the right steps by parting ways with the EU but the problem has unfortunately already come to stay. Knife attacks are at an all time high, so high that they banned all knives in public, they even arrested a guy for carrying a potato peeler.

Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan said that terrorist attacks are part and parcel of living in a big city. There have been Islamic child-rape gangs running in the country for decades that have systemically targeted poor white girls and the police tried to cover it up to prevent 'racial profiling'.

At 5%, the population of Muslims is probably manageable, but if the government changes hands to a more leftist party, you can be sure that the borders will be opened once again to all the problems that Muslim refugees bring.

Seriously? Why would you suggest they get assimilated into the western culture? What kind of eurocentric racist mindset is that?
Call it racist or eurocentric, it doesn't change the fact that western culture is a successful one which is why so many Africans and middle easterners run from their failed states to find a better life in Europe. Nigeria is a good example of one of those failed states.

fieryy:
I actually thought by 'outbreeding' you meant, the muslim population is going to outnumber the Christian one (Christian because most western, if not all are Christian countries), but now I have a feeling by 'outbreeding' and your talks about assimilation, you mean Europeans will be outbred and their culture will go extinct etc

First of all, and so? Isn't that what's been happening since the beginning of human history? The Bantu people, who make up the majority of Africans migrated from the North. The North Africans today mostly migrated from Asia. The Australians today mostly migrated from Europe.
I mean, the largest migration in history is still that of the Great Atlantic Migration, when Europeans migrated to North America. And yes they might have not driven trucks into innocent people, but I know the percentage of the Aborigines of North America and Australia is for some reasons still extremely low.
Thanks for bringing up North America, what exactly happened to the Native Americans when the Europeans came? What happened to the Aborigines when the Europeans came? They became minorities in their own land, their culture was decimated, the Europeans brought western values into the land, and those places became a part of the West.

The same would happen in Europe, Muslims will bring in their Islamic culture and unless you're cool with living in Middle East-lite, you may have reservations. Islam does not tolerate dissent, it violently opposes gay rights, women's rights and is inherently antithetical to a lot of western values.

fieryy:
Yes, globalization, wars, poverty or just the search for a better life might have led to a more rapid change than we are used to. However, this doesn't change the fact that this is a normal course in human history, one you can only slow down, but not stop.
That is no reason to actively encourage the destruction your culture. Cultural integration occurs naturally between compatible cultures, this is an unnatural push by greedy globalists to import cheap labour at the expense of the little guy.

Read up rape statistics in Sweden, read up on the Islamic child-rape gangs in the UK that specifically targeted poor white girls and was downplayed by the police.

If things continue like this resentment is going to build up all over Europe. The pendulum always swings to the extreme before it settles down.
Christianity EtcRe: Is Europe Leaving Christianity For 'Paganism'? by CoolUsername: 10:39am On Mar 12, 2020

History would tell you that the laws of most countries in Europe would not allow any religion to be imposed on anyone. There's been far too much blood shed for them to go so far backward. And you fail to realise the power of education. Most Muslims in Europe do not breed like you think nor would they accept what Muslims accept in many Muslim countries because of their western education which places huge emphasis 'on use your mind' instead of just gullibly believing what you are told to believe. It's what's killing Christianity and religion in general.

Even though the pagan in the op makes it sound like Europe is practising a religion of paganism, most would laugh in your face if you said "let's go worship" and didn't mean, in a pub.
These laws and traditions are based on the countries' values. When the continent has a demographic change overnight, you suddenly get a bunch of adults who have no connection to these values. It would be very difficult to assimilate such a huge number of foreigners and get them to accept the culture of the land.

But what does 'outbreeding' have to do with the 'refugees they're importing from the Middle East'? First generation's of Muslims in western countries have less children than those in the Middle East.
The 'outbreeding' is going to take place regardless of immigration or not. Funny enough, Africans to whom Christianity was brought to will make up the highest percentage of Christians in the world grin
Muslim populations in Europe still have a higher fertility rate (2.6 births per woman) than the native population (1.6 births per woman). It is generally accepted that a population needs a fertility rate of at least 2.1 to naturally maintain it's number. At 1.6, the native pollution is actively getting smaller. This, coupled with mass immigration from Muslim-majority countries means that the EU has its work cut out for it to assimilate these people into their culture or else they can expect cultural change along with demographic change. And we all know how integration has gone so far.

Also, I don't know why you brought Christianity into this. All religions are crap but the reality is that immigrants from Christian-majority countries don't drive trucks into innocent people or run child sex trafficking gangs specifically because they see the native women as whores.

Article said paganism, and not Islam! Europeans do not abandon their heritage that easily.
It's as simple as the Muslims outbreeding the local population. The reality is that by 2050 Islam would be the most dominant religion in terms of population size. If a significant portion nightmare to Europe now like what is already happening then a significant portion of that 1 billion would be in Europe.

Once in majority, the Muslims would institute draconian laws and make life a living hell for the minority religions like they do everywhere.

With all the refugees they're importing from the Middle East they're going to be overrun by Islam.

IKR I was solo leveling but I don’t think they’re gonna adapt it
Patience is a virtue. It took them decades to adapt stuff like Vinland Saga and Dorohedoro. If the first wave of manhua adaptations (Noblesse, ToH, and GoH) is successful, I guarantee that Crunchyroll would move on to others like Solo Leveling.

Crunchyroll doesn't adapt anything. They just buy streaming rights.
Normally, yes but these are actually Crunchyroll originals, meaning that Crunchyroll actually has a hand in funding production of these shows, kind of like what Netflix did with Devilman Crybaby.
