It's funny because this guy went from the big bad wolf of the forum to an e begging irl streamer but it's kind of sad when you realizze that he actually wants to get added to IP2.network and join the degenerates on that site

@Sparrow's Song. It's in the title

.
Who you got winning :feelswhere:
 
It certainly helps when talking to normgroids :feelsmage:
Good thing I don't talk to anyone

I couldn't be arsed to sit through a game either way

Cope I keep up a bit with soccer and am one of the most non NT mfs I see
Realistically, soccer doesnt count boyo :feelsgah: that's why we call it soccer when the rest of the world wants to call it "futbol" :feelsclown:
 
Ayy mayne can you let me smash your sister?
 
Thanks boyo. I've never heard of ip2 before ngl.
Np bhai. Basically, it all began with Ice Poseidon (Cx Network), hence the name Ice Poseidon 2. At some point his fanbase got realy toxic and Ice tried to mitigate that by tightening the rules of his reddit and making it more “wholesome”. Shortly after it was banned, his fans decided to take matters into his own fans and create their own sub “Ice_Poseidon_2” which also got banned shortly after as well. After that, they moved to saidit.net. which also got eviscerated. Notice a pattern here? :waitwhat:

https://communities.win/c/IP2Always/ is the domain where they currently reside, shitpostinh and memeing about their community which is pretty much a corpse of what it once was.

Basically, IP2 Network = Cx rejects = the rejects of livestreaming.

The latest chapter ended with this bombshell scene of a few panels suggesting that Denji isn’t actually the hero that the public sees him as

Homelander is basically a super selfish and self centered guy whose fame and superpowers went to his head and he cares a lot more about his public image and being a superstar than saving lives or being a righteous hero. He frequently ends up letting innocent people get killed out of incompetence or just plain apathy but the media still portrays him as a perfect virtuous hero

Ngalo Part 2 has surprised me a lot I didn’t expect it to go in this direction at all. I’m actually more interested in the plot of Chainsaw Manlos right now than I was at any point in Part 1
 
The middle one is the ice bitch from akame ga kill. The rest no clue.

Many of us, especially those newer to anime, consider Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann to be among the best, most powerful, and most well-written anime out there, and this final consideration is given by the fact its genius playwright author, Kazuki Nakashima, masterfully constructed its world to be one in which the existence of plot holes was almost completely null and void thanks to the cleverness of a single in-universe mechanic. Spiral Power, the ability to do anything and everything with the right amount of classic shonen fighting spirit, could justify any occurrence whatsoever so long as the characters’ motivations were properly preestablished and consistent. Not only was this mechanic used to orchestrate some of the most spectacular developments in anime history without compromising the internal logical and immersion of the show at hand, but it was used more meaningfully to deeply theme itself with the ultimate display of universal human empowerment and denial of determinism. If the community at large could understand, appreciate, and accept this and install TTGL as the cultural icon it has since become, then I don’t quite understand why no one seemed to do the same for Re:Creators, a show which not only did just about the same thing, but did it in a way which made far more sense.

Re:Creators is an otaku culture potpourri of meta-commentary revolving around Creations, pop-media characters being brought to life by their own prominence in the real world, a measure which is decided by how thoroughly and ubiquitously they and their stories have influenced real people in their real lives—which is something I’m sure you and I can both heavily relate to as anime fans. The show does a shockingly realistic job at showing you in intimate detail how the natural propensities of these characters can be dangerous or dissociative when brought into reality under the right circumstances despite being completely understandable in the fictitious worlds they’d been living in up until this point, like a Warrior who resents our society for engaging with her narrative as entertainment when she was actually there experiencing it as a real, war-torn hellscape, or a magical girl who isn’t afraid to dish out apocalyptic levels of violence because in her world explosions only leave behind pixie dust, not corpses. Since the show doesn’t bother churning through all the Creations’ backstories and past lives to force their character development down our throats, it gets to use its time delivering on some juicy “show don’t tell” storytelling, letting us bear witness to their conversations and altercations with one another and their respective Creators, their authors, and judge them for ourselves by both their actions and their words. I loved Re:Creators first and foremost for not handling the humanity of its cast with the same ham-fisted dialogue and obnoxious flashbacks I’ve come to expect from anime, but through genuine discussion and interaction. And for this scripting expertise which assumes you’re not so dense as to miss out on the nuance and subtext, we have to thank none other than the legendary manga author who you’d never expect director Ei Aoki to get on board to write this thing: Rei Hiroe. Yup, this uncharacteristically intelligent, excessively talkative, plot-heavy narrative about how our hyperconnected society conditions us to be reclusive and how the pains of our lives can be transmitted through and reflected by art is also filled to the brim with incredible action, as if it didn’t already have enough going for it.

Before you start worrying this anime juggles too many genres with the amount of ideas it explores with the amount of characters it does so with, I’ll just come out and concede that, indeed, it does, but while there is a small time skip, the plot of Re:Creators is totally linear and essentially boils down to a smarter version of any battle royale show of its ilk right up until its finale when it goes all out on the TTGL action I began with discussing. There’s no stupid or barely explained death game plotline underlying the Creations being brought to life, but rather a naturally flowing story in which people subconsciously bring themselves into conflict with one another based on serious and well-considered philosophical disagreements and truly passionate motivations any viewer with even the most modest opinions on society will have no trouble connecting with or investing in. You are always keenly aware of exactly why everyone is angry with whoever they’re angry with and precisely what about said individual or individuals triggered them to fight, because everything always makes logical sense in regard to the plot and motivational sense concerning the characters and how the events which took place lead them to where they’re currently standing (which then makes the rudimentary strategy employed by the characters in conflict seem that much more foreshadowed and smartly written). Whereas most battle royales will prolong confrontations by separating opponents who should’ve had one another in mortal combat, Re:Creators makes itself something of thriller at times—at least in its fast-paced and mysterious opening arc—introducing new elements to the already obscure mechanics at play and already obfuscated players on the field to make any twists, turns, and delays feel less like asspulls and lazy writing and more like an exciting addition to an already creatively overflowing story. Perhaps I’m merely lampshading a more damning issue with the series, but only once all the cards are on the table do the limiters pop off and let the production values of this beauty really strut their stuff.

As shamelessly teased by the conclusions of both previous paragraphs, the action in this show is outstanding, and while action is typically something of little value in my eyes when compared to some thoughtful dialogue, resonant characterization, or deeper themes, when a show has all those bases covered to at least some degree as Re:Creators most certainly does, that’s when the indulgence in the spectacle can begin. Given that the Creations are literally fiction within fiction, their powers are all original and from entirely different worlds, and I can easily see why this might scare viewers away given the natural assumption all of these powers come with their own overblown Hunter x Hunter exposition dump to explain in painful detail their own asinine light novel magic system and how it measures up to those of the other Creations and their own asinine light novel magic system. Luckily, this ambitious monster of an original anime was written by the author of Black Lagoon, who takes pride in giving tugboats airtime and arming maids with shotgun-umbrellas, obviously lacking all the inhibition in the world, and thereby being one who feels no need to stress over the details most shounen anime end up feeling even dumber for for even taking seriously in the first place. He happily assumes you have enough capacity for enjoyment to recognize these are literally fictional characters within a fictional anime, and their powers are from anime within said anime, so of course you don’t know exactly what you're looking at. To top it all off, the spectacle TROYCA effortlessly tosses around is of the production quality which can stand tall next to the best studios around, and given the fact they’re backed by Ei Aoki’s expert visual direction and Hiroyuki Sawano’s characteristically awe-inspiring soundtrack, the reality this is all meant to ride on cinematic punch as opposed to analytical realism becomes all the more clear and all the more fun. It just wants you to take a seat in this rollicking roller coaster ride next to Sōta, our “fish out of water” protagonist who stands back gawking at the flair just as you and I do, and enjoy the ride to its fullest, and the fact the line to get on this ride doesn’t start outside the park is honestly baffling to me.

To explain why others may misguidedly lead you into believing this show is bad, I’ll have to state one MAJOR SPOILER from episode ten, so if you don’t wish to be spoiled, please skip to the final paragraph and finish this review should you so wish.

———

In episode ten, you learn the Creators have the power to change the nature and the abilities of their Creations via “audience acceptance.” They had tried to draw new powers into the story in a controlled and private environment to see if they could alter the Creations in real time to give them an upper hand in battle, but it didn’t work, so they abandoned the idea and assumed the Creations could only exist as they were when they were initially summoned from their world into reality. When a character is fatally wounded in episode ten, their Creator desperately Tweets out the new concept they had previously used to now try and alter their Creation by making the concept public. Once the audience sees it and accepts the new vision of the character as canon, she suddenly gains the power, gets up, and wins the fight. People dislike this show because the idea of “audience acceptance” is used more and more like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann’s Spiral Power as the show goes on, and people see this as lazy writing and careless plot holes, when it’s actually quite meaningful and relevant to the characters. The audience’s passion ends up playing a huge role in their beloved characters’ stories and resolutions, and I find it beautiful.

———

In the end, Re:Creators was conceptually brilliant, and it’s a real shame people who didn’t understand it or somehow failed to empathize with it insisted on characterizing its public reception with undeserved derision. Whether you’re looking for timely, intelligent, non-presumptuous social commentary, psychological deconstructions seated in character archetypes you thought couldn’t be more boring, emotional character studies within a genuinely passionate and inspired cast, or just some damn gorgeous action with irreplaceably unique ideas animated to phenomenal production values, Re:Creators will be a delight to your senses and sensibilities for all the reasons I’ve done my best to describe, and none of this is even mentioning the fact I’ve managed to do so with detail and isolated specifics without even telling you the literal plot of the show. Re:Creators is actually not the standard battle royale you’re familiar with, and is instead a story about a young aspiring artist whose past unintentional actions come back to haunt him when one of our fiction-within-fiction personalities comes down like Lucifer from Heaven boasting a backstory so compellingly horrible and motivations so complex and sadly justifiable, I would never dare spoil them. And as this incredible villain manipulates information and garners the favor of more and more misguided Creations as they’re summoned into reality, she orchestrates a conflict of monumental proportions pitting Creations against Creations which I certainly won’t be forgetting any time soon. I already admitted it’s messy. I already admitted it juggles far too many ideas to completely keep its balance, so now it’s your turn to admit the rest is refreshing, laudably ambitious, and absolutely fucking awesome.

Thank you for reading.

Re: creators was pretty good ngl.
It’s still on my backlog tbh. Though I‘ll prob crack it open sooner rather than later since you fuck with it :)

Also nice Ozen avi. I wasn’t 100% sold on the first season, or even the movie for that matter because Made in Abyss somehow just didn’t fully click for me, but the second season was biblical. Sad that the show received significantly less attention this time around

Is that a stand alone or are their earlier seasons?

There is only one season and its an anime original so there's no manga for it either.

He seemed like a nice fellow
 
What's his new account or where does he stream now? Bro is legendary with his interactions.

If shit doesn't improve for me within the next couple years, I might just want to join in on the fun, too.

In the end, Re:Creators was conceptually brilliant, and it’s a real shame people who didn’t understand it or somehow failed to empathize with it insisted on characterizing its public reception with undeserved derision. Whether you’re looking for timely, intelligent, non-presumptuous social commentary, psychological deconstructions seated in character archetypes you thought couldn’t be more boring, emotional character studies within a genuinely passionate and inspired cast, or just some damn gorgeous action with irreplaceably unique ideas animated to phenomenal production values, Re:Creators will be a delight to your senses and sensibilities for all the reasons I’ve done my best to describe, and none of this is even mentioning the fact I’ve managed to do so with detail and isolated specifics without even telling you the literal plot of the show. Re:Creators is actually not the standard battle royale you’re familiar with, and is instead a story about a young aspiring artist whose past unintentional actions come back to haunt him when one of our fiction-within-fiction personalities comes down like Lucifer from Heaven boasting a backstory so compellingly horrible and motivations so complex and sadly justifiable, I would never dare spoil them. And as this incredible villain manipulates information and garners the favor of more and more misguided Creations as they’re summoned into reality, she orchestrates a conflict of monumental proportions pitting Creations against Creations which I certainly won’t be forgetting any time soon. I already admitted it’s messy. I already admitted it juggles far too many ideas to completely keep its balance, so now it’s your turn to admit the rest is refreshing, laudably ambitious, and absolutely fucking awesome.

Many of us, especially those newer to anime, consider Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann to be among the best, most powerful, and most well-written anime out there, and this final consideration is given by the fact its genius playwright author, Kazuki Nakashima, masterfully constructed its world to be one in which the existence of plot holes was almost completely null and void thanks to the cleverness of a single in-universe mechanic. Spiral Power, the ability to do anything and everything with the right amount of classic shonen fighting spirit, could justify any occurrence whatsoever so long as the characters’ motivations were properly preestablished and consistent. Not only was this mechanic used to orchestrate some of the most spectacular developments in anime history without compromising the internal logical and immersion of the show at hand, but it was used more meaningfully to deeply theme itself with the ultimate display of universal human empowerment and denial of determinism. If the community at large could understand, appreciate, and accept this and install TTGL as the cultural icon it has since become, then I don’t quite understand why no one seemed to do the same for Re:Creators, a show which not only did just about the same thing, but did it in a way which made far more sense.

Re:Creators is an otaku culture potpourri of meta-commentary revolving around Creations, pop-media characters being brought to life by their own prominence in the real world, a measure which is decided by how thoroughly and ubiquitously they and their stories have influenced real people in their real lives—which is something I’m sure you and I can both heavily relate to as anime fans. The show does a shockingly realistic job at showing you in intimate detail how the natural propensities of these characters can be dangerous or dissociative when brought into reality under the right circumstances despite being completely understandable in the fictitious worlds they’d been living in up until this point, like a Warrior who resents our society for engaging with her narrative as entertainment when she was actually there experiencing it as a real, war-torn hellscape, or a magical girl who isn’t afraid to dish out apocalyptic levels of violence because in her world explosions only leave behind pixie dust, not corpses. Since the show doesn’t bother churning through all the Creations’ backstories and past lives to force their character development down our throats, it gets to use its time delivering on some juicy “show don’t tell” storytelling, letting us bear witness to their conversations and altercations with one another and their respective Creators, their authors, and judge them for ourselves by both their actions and their words. I loved Re:Creators first and foremost for not handling the humanity of its cast with the same ham-fisted dialogue and obnoxious flashbacks I’ve come to expect from anime, but through genuine discussion and interaction. And for this scripting expertise which assumes you’re not so dense as to miss out on the nuance and subtext, we have to thank none other than the legendary manga author who you’d never expect director Ei Aoki to get on board to write this thing: Rei Hiroe. Yup, this uncharacteristically intelligent, excessively talkative, plot-heavy narrative about how our hyperconnected society conditions us to be reclusive and how the pains of our lives can be transmitted through and reflected by art is also filled to the brim with incredible action, as if it didn’t already have enough going for it.

Before you start worrying this anime juggles too many genres with the amount of ideas it explores with the amount of characters it does so with, I’ll just come out and concede that, indeed, it does, but while there is a small time skip, the plot of Re:Creators is totally linear and essentially boils down to a smarter version of any battle royale show of its ilk right up until its finale when it goes all out on the TTGL action I began with discussing. There’s no stupid or barely explained death game plotline underlying the Creations being brought to life, but rather a naturally flowing story in which people subconsciously bring themselves into conflict with one another based on serious and well-considered philosophical disagreements and truly passionate motivations any viewer with even the most modest opinions on society will have no trouble connecting with or investing in. You are always keenly aware of exactly why everyone is angry with whoever they’re angry with and precisely what about said individual or individuals triggered them to fight, because everything always makes logical sense in regard to the plot and motivational sense concerning the characters and how the events which took place lead them to where they’re currently standing (which then makes the rudimentary strategy employed by the characters in conflict seem that much more foreshadowed and smartly written). Whereas most battle royales will prolong confrontations by separating opponents who should’ve had one another in mortal combat, Re:Creators makes itself something of thriller at times—at least in its fast-paced and mysterious opening arc—introducing new elements to the already obscure mechanics at play and already obfuscated players on the field to make any twists, turns, and delays feel less like asspulls and lazy writing and more like an exciting addition to an already creatively overflowing story. Perhaps I’m merely lampshading a more damning issue with the series, but only once all the cards are on the table do the limiters pop off and let the production values of this beauty really strut their stuff.

As shamelessly teased by the conclusions of both previous paragraphs, the action in this show is outstanding, and while action is typically something of little value in my eyes when compared to some thoughtful dialogue, resonant characterization, or deeper themes, when a show has all those bases covered to at least some degree as Re:Creators most certainly does, that’s when the indulgence in the spectacle can begin. Given that the Creations are literally fiction within fiction, their powers are all original and from entirely different worlds, and I can easily see why this might scare viewers away given the natural assumption all of these powers come with their own overblown Hunter x Hunter exposition dump to explain in painful detail their own asinine light novel magic system and how it measures up to those of the other Creations and their own asinine light novel magic system. Luckily, this ambitious monster of an original anime was written by the author of Black Lagoon, who takes pride in giving tugboats airtime and arming maids with shotgun-umbrellas, obviously lacking all the inhibition in the world, and thereby being one who feels no need to stress over the details most shounen anime end up feeling even dumber for for even taking seriously in the first place. He happily assumes you have enough capacity for enjoyment to recognize these are literally fictional characters within a fictional anime, and their powers are from anime within said anime, so of course you don’t know exactly what you're looking at. To top it all off, the spectacle TROYCA effortlessly tosses around is of the production quality which can stand tall next to the best studios around, and given the fact they’re backed by Ei Aoki’s expert visual direction and Hiroyuki Sawano’s characteristically awe-inspiring soundtrack, the reality this is all meant to ride on cinematic punch as opposed to analytical realism becomes all the more clear and all the more fun. It just wants you to take a seat in this rollicking roller coaster ride next to Sōta, our “fish out of water” protagonist who stands back gawking at the flair just as you and I do, and enjoy the ride to its fullest, and the fact the line to get on this ride doesn’t start outside the park is honestly baffling to me.

To explain why others may misguidedly lead you into believing this show is bad, I’ll have to state one MAJOR SPOILER from episode ten, so if you don’t wish to be spoiled, please skip to the final paragraph and finish this review should you so wish.

———

In episode ten, you learn the Creators have the power to change the nature and the abilities of their Creations via “audience acceptance.” They had tried to draw new powers into the story in a controlled and private environment to see if they could alter the Creations in real time to give them an upper hand in battle, but it didn’t work, so they abandoned the idea and assumed the Creations could only exist as they were when they were initially summoned from their world into reality. When a character is fatally wounded in episode ten, their Creator desperately Tweets out the new concept they had previously used to now try and alter their Creation by making the concept public. Once the audience sees it and accepts the new vision of the character as canon, she suddenly gains the power, gets up, and wins the fight. People dislike this show because the idea of “audience acceptance” is used more and more like Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann’s Spiral Power as the show goes on, and people see this as lazy writing and careless plot holes, when it’s actually quite meaningful and relevant to the characters. The audience’s passion ends up playing a huge role in their beloved characters’ stories and resolutions, and I find it beautiful.

Some lyric analysis:

"Cloud come shove the sun aside" - sadness against happines

"And no sun in my summer" - The bad luck of being sad and poor in this worl

"There are no crowds in the streets" - Loneliness caused by social discriminatio

"The shade is a tool, a device, a savior" - Living in the shade is a solution to get far away from thi

"I try and look up to the sky, but my eyes burn" - Someone wants to bring us down everyda

"Shove It" - These people don't care for anyone but themselves. These people are the "sky" (because they've got the cash), and when we try to get next to them, we want to return to our shade and just say, "Shove It."

"My Own Summer" is the perfect world in where no one cares to see everything and be out and a part of the normal society. They'd rather be in the dark, and they wouldn't care about the way a person looked because they wouldn't see them. Everyone would get to know the real person before they were judged. And they also wouldn't be a part of this fake happiness that the sun symbolizes. They would find their own happiness by just being themselves. And if they tried to "look up" (do their own thing, be happy with themselves and set goals, etc.) the sun wouldn't be there to "burn" them and say that that isn't what they're supposed to do, and that it isn't right. In summary I guess the summer, the perfect world is one where everyone is equal and can do whatever they want to without getting criticized for it.
And by the way...I think when the two hits the six means (going back to the clock thing) 6:30. Two hands are on the "6". And what happens around 6:30 in the summer? The sun rises. That's when Chino says he is through, and he wants to find shelter. That's when "summer" starts. Makes sense doesn't it?

I love the line "God is moving its tongue", but I think he means that God is the one tormenting everyone w/the heat. And b/c God is so powerful, just a move of his tongue can cause torment throughout the world. In other words, God's not using much effort, yet Chino is experiencing the harsh consequences. Its kinda like God could just move his tongue and it could be earthquakes across the earth, he could move his finger, and devastate the masses.. something like that. I like that fact that he uses "its" too. It demonstrates a certain unknown about God. We don't know what God is really like contrary to existing religions.


The first track and lead single from Deftones' sophomore album Around the Fur.

Chino has said that the song refers his displeasure with the sun after long nights of recording and it burning his eyes, resulting in him putting tin foil over the windows to block it out.

However he has also said the song is about how agitated he became whilst touring during summer, the intense heat and crowds of people irritating him.

>One of he most guresome ritual to vow a white women done by whitecels is to sacrifice(kill) their harem of ethnic women to show the white female their affection
>Alas the succes rate of these sacrifical rituals is too low
>If the sacrifical ritual fails, the whitecels are left alone after which they have to rebuild their harem from scratch
>Although it takes the whitecels only around one to two months to create another harem of ethnic , the period of sexlessness of one to two months causes the whitecels to develop PTSD
>It is common for whitecels to become depressed requiring medical attention in these months of sexlessness and over 90% attempt suicde although thankfully out of these 90% only 0.000001% are actually succesful in their attempts of suicide
>Recently a new therapy to help whitecels suffering from this post sacrifical PTSD has been approved. It involves the whitecel patient being shown pictures of "white trad wife" , whatever that is.
