I love it~

i love my little desktop miku sadly it seems shimejis are a dying art.

>>1599 i have just realized shimeji simulation is a manga series. seems i missed the point

yesss!! i love that mangaka’s art!!!!!

Yesssss big fan my laptop desktop wallpapers are all tsukumizu drawings Wondering if there will be a new manga

>>1712 play one of the games, one of the fangames, read one of the many many doujin works, fanfics, or really anything that would endear you the universe the games take place in the music is good too - unless you dislike midi trumpets, then it might not be for you i got into the games from newgrounds remixes of some of touhou 8's boss themes, then a slew of ao3 fics taking place in the games' universe, before i finally bothered with any of the shmups. maybe give #7 or #8 a go, solely because they're my favourites that aren't hard to the point of frustration. shift to focus, z to shoot and x to bomb - think fast don't die, maybe you'll find them fun anyhow there's a nyaa torrent with each of the english patched games in it, plus the first 5 pc98 games, if you're so inclined. just pick one and try to beat it

Touhou 6 EoSD is the first game I started with. Then after hearing the music of Mountain of Faith (Touhou 10) I started playing that too. I was there more for the music rather than the gameplay since I got bored of Touhou after only 2 games in the series. That being said, the music and Japanese mythology make it worth it to play. (I couldn't give two shits about the whole lore though, that's for the fandom to care about - not the people who actually play the games).

Start here:

>>1719 I didnt know Touhou had some of the best music thank you for sharing.

>>1712 oh, that's GNU Guix

Anime and manga are the only things that make me cry. It can be the most low-hanging fruit of sad scenes, and it will still get me.

>>455 Animes with scenes that are meant to make you cry have never made me even slightly sad (except for Grave of the Fireflies, that one's pretty depressing), but watching certain loner anime characters or simply characters that at some point find themselves isolated because of rejection has teared me up a couple of times since they were relatable to me, even if none of the scenes were intentionally sad. I mentioned Grave of the Fireflies before even clicking in the spoilered OP, I think it might be the saddest piece of fictional media ever produced in human history.

Honestly, I never really cry watching anime when it's "sad". It's more so when they reach triumphant goals after trying their best that gets me. Especially so if it's something romance related (picrel). That and anything to do with motherhood, like in Doremi... But you don't see that much which is unfortunate! >>1754 >but watching certain loner anime characters... that at some point find themselves isolated because of rejection has teared me up a couple of times Could you recommend a couple of these? I'm interested

>>1756 I can't remember one in particular since most of these are just small scenes and the main characters never stayed on that situation for too much. I do recall that the Komi-san manga made me pretty sad when I used to read it years ago, I didn't give the anime adaptation a chance since the VA didn't resonate with me so I don't know if the anime can capture what the manga did for me. There's also Oyasumi Punpun but this one and the other are both popular so you've probably know about them already. Making this post has reminded me that I should read the Komi-san manga again to see where it's at

The first and only anime that ever made me cry is Haibane Renmei

Could be personal bias but I can't think of a single piece of Japanese media where I've found the english dub to be better than the original. I've watched dubs in other languages which I actually found superior to the japanese version but for some reason the english dubs of anything Japan are always meh at best. It could be because the dubbing industry in America isn't as developed considering most films are already in English so the few VA available are busy voicing western videogames and cartoons. My other theory is that Japanese producers just don't care about who gets to dub their media so they just go for the cheapest option, it could also be a mix of both theories since maybe quality American VA are too expensive compared to other languages given they get paid millions for how iconic they are, that would explain why animes and japanese vidya usually gets much better dubs in any other European language but English, where you rarely get high profile VA.

I like German dubs, it sounds like another anime language to my hears.

Death note

Ah my Goddess has has a better dub desu. I watched it as a kid on YouTube dubbed so I'm biased... Not an anime, but the Neptunia series' dub is way better than the original Japanese. In the original they all sound the same sorry

I prefer watching Hetalia in the dub because the voice actors in the english dub have different accents depending on the country they voice act, and i think that’s hilarious.

>>1763 WOW SO OBSCURE AND UNDERRATED

I liked the shimeji simulation anime but nobody seem to have seen it

>>1763 This looks like my favorite anime, Solo Leveling. Did this rip it off?

I I was a big fan of The Faraway Paladin (Saihate no Paladin) but it doesn't seem like many other people watched it. It's not a perfect anime by any means but I really liked the purehearted take on the genre. I'm reading the manga too.

i love the ending song its comfy

>>1372 It's more common than you think!

>>1373 whyyy

>>1373 how would you know? are YOU a normaloid?

>>1762 normaloids shall be subdued by my Blade

WIDEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

I can only sing 24 hour cinderella

TODOKETE SETSUNA SA NI WAAAA

i'm a very bad singer, but i like to sing stuff when i'm alone. vocaloid, anime OPs/EDs, etc are really fun. over time i've also noticed my pronunciation getting a little better, so that's fun

This is why I don't watch rwby

Only OK with modern anime since it's all shit regardless of art style

>>1483 He's actually Wilson with white hair

I liked it some years ago, but when S4 came out I rewatched the previous seasons and thought it was shit. I may be partially retarded >>1484 looks like an under-grad project
