    why do people post anime on Cinemaphile are you scared of Cinemaphile?

    • 3 months ago
      Anonymous

      They are afraid of Cinemaphile. Imagine someone posting about TV and Film on Cinemaphile; That's what anime trannies are doing when they post it on Cinemaphile. Every time I visit Cinemaphile, it looks like old Cinemaphile to me, and it probably scares the shit out of normalBlack folk. That pretty much explains why Cinemaphile is so fricking horrible.

        You are a dumbass, Cinemaphile mods are aggressive and will ban you for any sort of off model thread. The board runs on unofficial generals and the sometimesl literal troony discord groomer posting about their favorite manga with a femboy. Its hell on earth if you don't care to fit in the generals and discuss the same shit every day.

            The "general" ban was purely to ban the DJT threads. I was there. Every other crappy general was back up without "general" in the name within 2 days, DJT was moved to Cinemaphile, where it became flag autism, and /jp/, where it became the plaything of a couple of unfunny morons who reply to every post with garbage in all lowercase.

      Cinemaphile isn't great either but honestly Cinemaphile is fricking dogshit. At least on Cinemaphile you can shitpost in fun ways but Cinemaphile is both no fun allowed AND full of morons who spam 500000 threads about their favourite fotm shounen/isekai so you can't discuss anything actually good.

      This show is overrated garbage

      Delicious in Dungeon is superior in every way, including the concept of a long lived life and the fears of everyone you've ever known and loved fading away as you continue to exist.

      Basically this, though this homie might not agree with me on DiD, we can agree this show has the subtly of a semi truck driving through a brick wall. It's an interesting concept but the show does absolutely nothing with it.

      [...]
      Frick you homosexual, Punpun is also overrated trash, FMA (2003) is unironically a fricking masterpiece. Berserk deserves it's praise and AoT is also trash agreed but you're still a homosexual.

      Unless its a niche series that gets a thread every week or so (usually 20 or so people keeping it alive), then its not a good place to discuss anime. It definetly isn't a good place to discuss manga either. You also have to go to /wsr/ to get recommendations or else you get banned. I don't know if there is some history with spammers constantly asking that or something, but seems like a goofy rule imo. There is probably a reason for it.
      I do give Cinemaphile credit for at least being strict on rules which helps stop frogposting and wojacks. More boards should be like that in regards to Cinemaphile.

        They've claimed for a decade+ there's so such thing as Mod specific boards but there obviously is because of these examples. Cinemaphile is moderated completely differently than the rest of the site, more like resetera honestly. The Cinemaphile mod is some libcuck that heckin' hates racism because if you write Black person or even soft r homie in any post he *will* give you a global ban when he sees it. Cinemaphile has a thing where you will get banned for insulting India, not any other country just India.

      Cinemaphile is filled with absolute morons at this point after about a decade of atrocious moderation. Wall to wall shounen slop threads for pajeets to post in. Ultimately the issue was really CR becoming popular which removed the gatekeeping step of having to use a scary torrent tool, but Cinemaphile is a fricking shell.

      Yeah they're scared to post on Cinemaphile but in this case it's more of trying to feel "superior" over anons on a board that is dedicated to live shows/movies and not Japanese cartoons
      You think it's an ironic shitpost but given the fact that do "Japan is good at (x) than da westerners" threads on every board outside of Cinemaphile it's more of a coping/need of validation like how a queer at a party has to let everyone know they're gay or how someone on twitter has those things in their bio that say they're "xit/xat/xibidydooda" that attacks a media they don't like because it doesn't cater to them
      That what OPs post are, thinking it's shitpost but it's just OPs subconscious hungry for validation until they troon out

      That´s kind of normal for Japan though. They are better after all. Always have been.

      American animation is completely dead for years. Disney movies with good animation had insane budgets and rarely made them back. While TV shows had ugly as shit simplified style that's easier to animate but disgusting to look at.

      There is a reason why anime became a 40 billion $ industry and keeps growing every year.

        The scale thing she is holding is related to her spell, which when cast measures the total mana of the caster and the target. Whoever has more mana at the time the spell is cast has complete control over the person who lost. The demon girl lost and the elf told her to cut her head off.

    American animation is so much more superior than Japanese. Anime might have cool scenery and character design, but if you're comparing just pure technical skills of animation Americans are so much better. Even shit like Ed Edd n Eddy made most anime look like something you'd see on Newgrounds.

      American animation is completely dead for years. Disney movies with good animation had insane budgets and rarely made them back. While TV shows had ugly as shit simplified style that's easier to animate but disgusting to look at.

      There is a reason why anime became a 40 billion $ industry and keeps growing every year.

                Line count is up in modern television anime like never before but they accomplish that by outsourcing to remote workers and increasing use of both 3d and 2d cgi that's all over your example. Shows that would have had 4 key animators per episode in the 90's or 8 in the 00's have over a dozen now. There's several colorists, a couple dedicated 3d cg animators, some of these teleworker animators are working on paper and others working on tablets and making liberal use of various digital drawing automations. There's vfx composition specialists on top of the colorists. These days it's not even unheard of for episodes to have more than one animation director so the traditional force for compositional competency between all these contributors is broken.
                The resultant shows look like what they are, they've been built by committee. More individual parts than ever before but no holistic direction.

                The problem is pretty simple, not enough animators to go around, and not a lot of people go into the profession because it's a dead end job that uses graduates until they break, and then obviously they're worthless. There was upward mobility in the 80s and 90s, now the zoomers know they're just going to eat cup ramen until they die.

                So everything got outsourced to the asiatics, who delivered mediocre work but eventually started getting too expensive, so now everything is being outsourced to the Chinese, who constantly lie about their production progress so shows are getting constant delays where they just show a re-run or three halfway through, or the Indians who can't draw to save their lives. Honestly, I'd rather the industry move to fricking dogshit in-house CG. Kemono Friends had the animation budget of a happy meal.

          Handrawn cel animation became nonviable in the 90s because all the south korean slaves (actual real slaves) everyone, east and west, were discovered and released.
          Cell animation is literally an impossible craft to do on any scale when you have to pay animators.

Just as an example if look to modern shonen they are really going for the 1 season a year sakuga thing instead of weekly release shows, minus a few old ones that are still running

            Making anime 'look' the way it did in the 80s and early 90s was a result of essentially infinite budgets by an economy expanding unrealistically fast at that time and corporations had so much money they did not know what to do with that many of them commissioned those gorgeous anime series as vanity projects to demonstrate how powerful their brand was. Most of the time the show had absolutely nothing to do with the company that paid for it and calling it brand advertising is being generous. That's how a large share of them were ever made by someone hiring the best and telling them what to make for them without regard to cost. Those conditions have never existed since.

      Delicious in Dungeon is superior in every way, including the concept of a long lived life and the fears of everyone you've ever known and loved fading away as you continue to exist.

      Basically this, though this homie might not agree with me on DiD, we can agree this show has the subtly of a semi truck driving through a brick wall. It's an interesting concept but the show does absolutely nothing with it.

      Punpun and early Berserk are great. FMA is solid but overrated, and AoT is shounen slop.

      Frick you homosexual, Punpun is also overrated trash, FMA (2003) is unironically a fricking masterpiece. Berserk deserves it's praise and AoT is also trash agreed but you're still a homosexual.

      I think I've seen lots of stuff about vampires or other immortals lean into that heavily. Frieren's struggle is even getting close to normal people in the first place. The show's inciting incident is someone who she likes and wants to get to know better dying of old age before she bothers to spend time with him.

      That's the problem I have with anime. So many end up playing to your typical anime tropes.
      Thought Demon Slayer started off well when it took itself seriously but they inevitably bring in your typical shonen characters as well as exaggerated speech and faces for humour. Guess that's just a manga/anime thing you should expect but I never really got the appeal.

    But it's not a good fantasy show? It's explicitly an analysis/deconstruction of the genre.
    Not only has the fantasy show come and gone in universe but you are required to understand western/japanese fantasy 'canon' to 'get it'.

    I'll give the author props they took a 3am 'bro what if...' weed thought with the boys and turned it into a fun reflective episodic deconstructive piece, with some occasionally pretty salient points.
    I argue, however, that any show that requires you to understand a genre to be good can never be better than actual important pieces of the genre. OPM can't be better than other battle shonen, for example, because without them OPM can't exist.

      why did she kill herself?

      Purple hair has a bullshitonium artifact that judges souls based on their mana, the winner can control the other. In terms of the episode, it's used as a framing device to show an innate weakness of demons' social dawrinistic cultural outlook and to show the elf chick is a gigachad.
      The purple-haired demon was a moron for using it regardless of the above because she hadn't exhausted her other options yet.

    I don't think the setting is one of that show's strengths, and I don't think it's that important. The only essential part is that Frieren is very long-lived. If you stripped out all of the western fantasy flavor, and replaced it with eastern fantasy flavor, it probably wouldn't affect the way people respond to the story.
    The novel and interesting part is the observation that an immortal (or long-lived whatever) could value time so little that they might just waste basically all of it. Frieren learning to stop wasting time and spend it building relationships and doing other things she wants to do is something that I think resonates with an anime-watching crowd.

                Frick off, the world structure is important part of the story instead we have "they travel north", "we have to pass the border to ... its a story for another time", "the king" in the "capital" the "kingdom™"
                The story is all about them traveling the path of heroes, yet we are given random city names with no context on where anything is and yet there are constant references to cities with no names and regions that we dont know where they are
                What fricking kingdom, are we there yet? no? are we close? yes? no? she says it will take 10 years ... why? we already skipped most of it by not staying in the cities the original party did, how the frick can they still be traveling for years?

                LOTR actually names their regions, we know the goal, where we start and when we visit a city thats imporant it gets a name so when the plot gets back to it we know where the frick we are, there is a sense of progression

                The regions have names, the kingdoms have names, the cities have names.

                The difference is the focus of the media:
                The point of LotR is the great big dramatic heroic saga of the ages;
                The point of this show is 'what happens after the saga'.

                Sometimes in media, what happens doesn't matter strictly, sometimes the why and how is the focus.

                You're entitled to your opinion. You also shouldn't be surprised to get pushback/your opinion carries less weight when you make provably false statements and clearly are missing the 'point' of the show.

                Don't get me wrong she how is over-hyped, it's a great character study and it had some smart stuff to say about the genre. But the idea 'Bro the story is what happens AFTER the story' is stretching thin even now and when it inevitably gets more seasons due to its popularity the idea's going to run out of steam.

          Isekai is literally about a person getting sucked into a world that's not their own. If that isn't the premise it isn't an isekai. Harry Potter is more of an isekai than Frieren.

      I think modern anime series can suffer from a lack of distinct style and character designs. So many of these seasonal shows for many years have come out and they all look so similar.

    The only one that's not complete shit is the first 4 seasons of Game of Thrones.

    It's unironically a worse work of art than Legend of the Seeker. Hell I'd rather watch the WoT show. Literally what is the appeal of Sneedren? It's sub RA-Salvatore levels of writing.

    Gomenasai Cinemaphile, my name is Ken-Sama.

    I’m a 27 year old American Otaku (Anime fan for you gaijins). I draw Anime and Manga on my tablet, and spend my days perfecting my art and playing superior Japanese games. (Disgaea, Final Fantasy, Persona series)

    I train with my Katana every day, this superior weapon can cut clean through steel because it is folded over a thousand times, and is vastly superior to any other weapon on earth. I earned my sword license two years ago, and I have been getting better every day.

    I speak Japanese fluently, both Kanji and the Osaka dialect, and I write fluently as well. I know everything about Japanese history and their bushido code, which I follow 100%

    When I get my Japanese visa, I am moving to Tokyo to attend a prestigious High School to learn more about their magnificent culture. I hope I can become an animator for Studio Ghibli or a game designer!

    I own several kimonos, which I wear around town. I want to get used to wearing them before I move to Japan, so I can fit in easier. I bow to my elders and seniors and speak Japanese as often as I can, but rarely does anyone manage to respond.

    Wish me luck in Japan!

    It's inspired by jrpg, especially Dragon Quest like nearly all new Japanese fantasy, all isekai.
    Aesthetically it looks nothing like traditional Western fantasy based on either Western novels or D&D.

      But it's written "like" a western fantasy show instead of the modern isekai shlock that has been infesting the genera.

      Modern anime is literally
      >Girl opens her arms and gets covered in random glowing kanji while a 13 year old kid who's a demon hunter holds a giant sword with purple flames on it while a chibi deer person chants to keep a nymph in a bottle alive

      Haha you wish, it's more often:
      >Some moron from Japan wins a darwin award and is sent to fantasy world for a second chance
      >But is then immediately handheld by being given some OP superpower on par with a Shonen protag post-training because otherwise they're a moron who is incapable of survival
      >Lol you see all this foreign nobody needed to be someone was to be gifted the ability to tell the laws of physics and character growth to frick themselves
      >And since they came from an IRL location instead of this made-up fantasy land, they are by definition a believable character just like (you), don't you want to root for them

      Plus they've already dropped the main "catch" of the manga - what happens to an immortal being after the Great Quest (TM) has been accomplished. Instead it's already heavily suggested that the Demons being defeated was a "keikaku dori". Plus the aforementioned time travel.
      It's quickly turning into your usual battle manga with an overly complicated plotline.

        Nips can't fricking help themselves. They refuse to stick to a simple plot and tell it well. Welllll what if time travel and the power of friendship and believing in the heart of the cards hard enough???? The only time one of them refuses to asspull the main driver of their narratives their native nip population hates it (Shinichirō Watanabe's shows first come to mind)

        It's unfortunate that manga, LN and anime just tend to keep going way too long. Something like Fire Punch or Gunm (part 1) are the perfect length, but these days everything has to be 20+ volumes.

          It really is a shame. I guess I can't blame them for trying to drag it out for money, but would be better to just start a new one. My Hero Academia is a good example. Vigilantes came in and finished in 15 volumes. MHA is still going on 39+ volumes with an ending declared like 3 years ago.

    Western fantasy died when they started making them exclusively for bitter wine aunts and soiboys. Every fantasy show nowadays is just filled with sex scenes, leftist soi-politics, forced diversity and Marvel-tier quips. As a fantasy-gay your only options are either anime, which can be a little juvenile at times, or Pozflix-esque soi-fantasy with Black folk. Whether you like it or not, but Japan is the last bastion of entertainment for the White Man.
