Sukuna has a damn lot of great fanart
I have more, but a course is best divided into separate meals :3
Gotta say though, there's a huuuge amount of Jujutsu fanart out there, it's great
Thank you very much for the spam
I will make sure to go and leave some at your thread as well, Yuta and Gojo were your most favorites?
And yes!! I agree. Everyday going to pixiv, pinterest and event twitter I find how Jujutsu, Kimetsu and Chainsaw Man have tons of all type and quality art. Yesterday I found out I have more than 2K fanarts saved of these series...
That probably plays the biggest part; if you know someone who's into videogames (and who you're good friends with). Enjoying something with a friend or more makes almost everything better haha.
Mmhm agreed, that's why I usually enjoy watching new movies or series with people I'm friends with, and who are into it. x)
Oh I totally get that, anime is kind of limited in what we get. We get the occasional, let's say "strange" or "obscure" show, but ofc it's mostly other stuff that would attract more people. In that sense manga can explore a lot more for sure, sometimes stuff you just won't ever see in anime. So if you only follow anime, your experience is pretty limited in a way.
That's why you see like for example half of my favorite animes are movies (remember?
) almost all of them didn't have a manga, or the adaptation was just better. Akira is an example, the manga is incredible for me but there's something about the anime they made that is more unique.
I also like checking new art styles and how a mangaka progess in their drawing; the animations can always vary a lot and in the end a studio adapt their own styles, which is pretty interesting, but I still prefer to see the original designs.
I think you're the first person I met who says she prefers manga though, that's refreshing haha
Definitely more on the anime side. There's just that thing when you have great voice acting, great animation, and great music. If all three are there at the same time, it's just magical you could say haha. I feel that's an experience you just can't get with manga, no matter what. On the other hand a bad anime adaptation can also ruin a lot and make you angry/sad, so there's that... But if I had to compare both at their peak, anime is better for me.
Manga is more easy for binge reading though, and can be a pretty fun experience on its own (like reading 45 Jujutsu chapters in a day :3)
I do agree with that, especially after we saw the latest Fate movie together, if it was drawn by the Fate/type Redline mangaka for example it would have been amazing, but still nothing compared to what we saw animated.
Kinda gives me the vibes of Kimetsu no Yaiba animated by the same studio: in the manga, that first part of the series was kinda boring to me, I didn't get into the series until the Train arc (aka the movie), yet it became very popular thanks to the anime, even if the first part is quite meh. So in the end, it all depends on which studio takes care of the manga, and there aren't many I consider good.
(you can also see my trauma with the Nanatsu anime, I even disliked it from season one).
And that's why even if FMA, my all favorite series, has an amazing manga, I still prefer Brotherhood because of what you said: great voice acting, great animation, and great music.
So yeah I think I'm just picky with studios and adaptations in general hahaha.
So basically you like them if the dere side is stronger than the tsun, like 25% tsun and 75% dere or something haha Can actually relate to that, if it's too much tsun it's just annoying, but a bit of it can be fun and/or adorable (and isn't everyone at least a tiny bit tsun lol). Erina actually grew over me with time when she got a bit softer, even if she was really obnoxious in the beginning.
Chitoge is a good example though, absolutely agreed! Nisekoi was pretty boring after a while, but Chitoge always was a fun char.
If I had to think of more, Makise Kurisu from Steins Gate and Misaka Mikoto from Railgun are easy examples for tsundere I like xD Funnily enough I can't think of some I really dislike atm, most of them I'm just "meh" about (Kyou is a good example).
Never thought about it like that but probably.
As long as tsundere isn't 100% their personalities I'm fine with that.
I'm sure I would have liked Erina more if I was still into Souma, but the series quickly bored me and there were a few memorable characters to me (that's why making the list for the top ten game was a bit hard this time). I still prefer characters like Alice or Megumi more.
And yes! Chitoge was a cutie, she had her "too much tsundere" sometimes but she was the most interesting to me, besides Tsugumi. I never take harems seriously and sometimes I avoid them, but it's nice to find good girls in them.
Misaka Mikoto is one of the reasons why I wanna start the Toaru series overall (also Accelerator), a few times I saw so much love for a female lead, and people saying she 's complex and cool, so I'm really curious (plus you guys like her a lot too so she must be cool hahaha). Never tried Steins;Gate before, dunno why, I should someday since it's always recommended to me.
So the main couple usually isn't your favourite? Tbh it is for me most of the time lol.
Looking forward to your rec ofc :3 Been a long time since I read a shojo series xD
And lol, you're a girl, so sounding girly is pretty okay I'd say : D To be honest it's a problem with most long-running series, keeping up the hype/passion over years is very hard to accomplish. Sometimes it works if something really clicks with you, but I feel that doesn't happen too often. The problem for me with romance series is, that the couple(s) start going in circles after a while, and it just gets too dumb. Like, who still doesn't kiss after months of being a couple? That's just ridiculous lol.
And with slice of life is that it's pretty much always the same, doing some mundane stuff and having fun. Which works for a while, but it's not something I could enjoy reading for years. I need a little spice you could say, so a bit of drama and or tragedy or twist or whatever is necessary for me
Gakkou Gurashi would be a good example.
Depends, usually it's my favorite since they get the most focus or development, but it can bary.
Also I will try sending you a list soon, but don't worry it won't be shojo only, though last time I sent you a list it was so long I kinda scared you away.
And oof yes, agreed, seems that you were victim of the cliché series too. It really depends what you like, some like drama similar to that, others something with almost zero plot and just cute chapters, then there are some series I follow that tell the plot of a relationship, so it's nice seeing progresss and original content.
I usually like it more when a series shows how they get together, then how they are as a couple, only Kimi ni Todoke made me wish they stayed as shy people trying to confess lol they got boring to me.
Hahaha I can see you prefer more epic stories, with an actual plot too.
I have my moods as you can see, reading all shonens and seinen but spamming slices of life to feel comfy.
You're right with that, seinen is for a more mature audience after all. They can go to places shonen never could, so to say. I actually had a seinen phase too, preferred them for a while, but eventually I started enjoying shonen more again. I think the mix makes it for me most of the time. Made in Abyss for example sorta has a shonen setting and starts out that way, but eventually gets very very dark. That's probably also why I enjoy manga like Hunter x Hunter or Jujutsu the most, where you have a shonen premise but which still have a very gritty undertone at times (or Tokyo Ghoul, before it became bad...). So it's a bit of both worlds for me haha :3
Same thing happens with joseis (the seinen of the shojos), they can go to any place they want, and doesn't have to be something lewd like some think lol. I usually prefer when romanes or slices of life are joseis or seinens, even shonens, because shojos usually have to stay in the same tropes (high school, naive love, usually same type of MCs, etc).
But mmhm! Agreed there as well, FMA for example is very shonen but turned a bit darker or mature sometimes. I believe that Jujutsu and HxH have a "base" of shonen but overall from there it turns pretty seinen, especially because the goals of the characters are pretty different from stuff you see in Naruto, One Piece, Bleach, etc. So yeah that's why I usually just go and check all categories, they all can progress in the way the want xD.
And don't remind me of Tokyo Ghoul: re... the first series used to be a big favorite.
Yeah the problem with Sakura is that she gets so little screentime compared to Artoria and Rin (at least in the west, bc anime is the main exposure for Fate here). That, and ofc the worms, sigh. But I agree that she's the most complex character of the main three, and I like characters who have a light and dark side to them. Also Sakura just deserves happiness after all the shit she went through...
Well, you can get a good idea of her in the movies we'll soon watch haha.
For now I'll leave it at that, we can talk about this better once you've seen the movies :3
Agreed, also by the fact that she doesn't have a main screntime in fighting, unlike Rin or Saber who you always see in battles no matter the route or the source. Also again, people usually dislike the shy or kind female characters, and are pointed as boring or as 'worst girls'. The bugs definetly scared people away lol which is a shame because it did explain a lot of why she's like this.
Tbh in the last marathon we did she was an epic yandere.
Sounds like you're a pretty big Conan fan haha. Not too surprised actually, for example I know there's this really famous crime show almost all girls watch lol (can't remember the name atm, not an anime though). Personally I like Conan too, but it's another case of me getting bored after he solves the 1000th crime xD
Hahaha that's why a lot skip most of the filler cases, and use the main guide to read/watch only the important chapters. I'm surprised how popular it stil is in Japan though, people really never get tired of their favorites (I envy them, with all the Conan content there).
Though, I'm not always really into mysteries/crime series, the plot and the conflict has to be really interesting, as well as the characters, that's why I also like Umineko/Higurashi a lot too (though that one is way more original than Conan, to me at least).
Yeah exactly, the psychological aspects of Higu/Umi are great
From the sound of it, the remake might get a bit more on the action-y side, but I'll keep you up to date ofc : D
Agreed about spoilers though, for the really popular shows it's so to get spoiled because way too many people post them like it's no big deal. I know I've been trying to avoid spoilers for the last Shingeki chapter, and so far it worked, but it was a close call now and then
Oooh I forgot if you dropped or kept with Shingeki, how did you like the ending? The amount of bait it's getting...
I always tell myself "okay dude, keep your answer short this time, this is too much" when answering your posts, but for some reason that just doesn't work
See? The blame is on both of us, our wall texts are scary.
I'd say it's like an 8.8/10 for me, a nine if it's a good day when I'm talking about it 
(almost all the time at least).
And also looking forward to Higurashi Sotsu ofc
