Is it just me or does it feel like most of Marine's collabs are requested by management like Umisea, MariGura, MariKobo, MariSui and she barely has the freedom and time to collab with who she wants nowadays

>>47047623
It's why it's so dead here nowadays

>>47047509

only looks larger since the threads are so incredibly slow nowadays compared to previous years

Oh you don't have to worry about them, I took good care of them of course.
But nowadays bully people is what I have my patients for, why just yesterday the Yama had some... lower parts troubles that were wonderful to sort out.

>People don't need main roles to have a succesful career as a seiyuu.
Nah then you don't get my point she voiced so many main heroines but nothing are actually noteworthy popular more like the are so many flops except Psycopass that even on TV they listed her seiyu career just KnY (supporting role), sometime Jujutsu 0 and nothing else even when she voiced so many main heroines in her career. And kek all those seiyuu nowadays only popular because they are being pushed in main roles hence Sakura can be no more than seiyuu that coomer lusting over for her body because most of her main heroines work always flop hence Toyama Nao that her main heroine you can just count in one hands stucked in same roles, hence Tanezaki and Kito only become actually popular after they voiced very popular main heroine characters, could you tell me a seiyuu without main roles but actually popular?

From reading the JP reviews and some commentary from the few who read it, I've been hearing nothing but high praise for the second part. Even though Gayoushi's formula in her writing can feel a bit repetitive, I always loved what she does with the characterization and the more emotional moments ultimately. As far as I know, there isn't really another author who cares about female relationships as much as she does in the genre. Not really otome of course, but looking back at Ayuri's monologues and her interactions with the others in 罪を受けるべき者 was just too fun despite all the depravity and pitch black 鬱 going on. I love that girl too much.
And thanks anon for the kind words. It's progressing just fine nowadays, especially since I've been focusing more on monolingual manual lookups. The experience in learning and understanding more of the language's nuances is absolutely invaluable to me at this point. I definitely wouldn't have gone this far if I hadn't known such great stuff existed untranslated. I hope the other anon who also loved Gayoushi's works is doing fine as well.

I think you may be, it has the exact color balance and color grading AI uses, but then again everything is now starting to look AI nowadays, really makes you think.

She's more of an uncool auntie of the temple's youkai girls nowadays and I just find that kinda endearing

like imagine pushing against a glass panel all the time when you game
i guess many peoples lives are so bland nowadays that they do

It's funny how babymetal fans cry about the gatekeepers hating on babymetal when they were young and nowadays they themselves are the biggest haters hating on every single group babymetal involve themselves with. We trully have come full circle

What is the biggest hits in Hanakana career in which she played the main heroine/lead female? I don't remember she has any hit like that except Psycopass (but Sony) she always gives me impression that she's being force in your face until you like her, that what so many seiyu practice nowadays and doesn't matter if that seiyuu will continue to appear in one flop to another flop and Sony continue to use that tradition with their seiyuu, I just realize this because nips saying that she could only called a supporting role in KnY as her representative work, then I realize there is really nothing else except Psycopass I wonder if she ever won even actual audition in main/lead role by herself, it is so different with how Hirano back then when her roles are not so many but most are big hits.

I find myself fapping to JAV far more than western porn these days because western actresses nowadays are mostly covered in tattoos and shave down there.

>>47009183
most outdoor jav nowadays is just a glaucoma/cataracts simulator

Gotta love the variety of girls we get nowadays
I feel sad girls need to do stuff like >>47005793 when chubby girls are loved too (and she wasn't even chubby)

Anyways, >>46996010, please listen to me. That it's really related to this thread.
I went to Yoshinoya a while ago; you know, Yoshinoya?
Well anyways there was an insane number of people there, and I couldn't get in.
Then, I looked at the banner hanging from the ceiling, and it had "150 yen off" written on it.
Oh, the stupidity. Those idiots.
You, don't come to Yoshinoya just because it's 150 yen off, fool.
It's only 150 yen, 1-5-0 YEN for crying out loud.
There're even entire families here. Family of 4, all out for some Yoshinoya, huh? How fucking nice.
"Alright, daddy's gonna order the extra-large." God I can't bear to watch.
You people, I'll give you 150 yen if you get out of those seats.
Yosinoya should be a bloody place.
That tense atmosphere, where two guys on opposite sides of the U-shaped table can start a fight at any time, the stab-or-be-stabbed
mentality, that's what's great about this place.
Women and children should screw off and stay home.
Anyways, I was about to start eating, and then the bastard beside me goes "extra-large, with extra sauce."
Who in the world orders extra sauce nowadays, you moron?
I want to ask him, "do you REALLY want to eat it with extra sauce?"
I want to interrogate him. I want to interrogate him for roughly an hour.
Are you sure you don't just want to try saying "extra sauce"?
Coming from a Yoshinoya veteran such as myself, the latest trend among us vets is this, extra green onion.
That's right, extra green onion. This is the vet's way of eating.
Extra green onion means more green onion than sauce. But on the other hand the price is a tad higher. This is the key.
And then, it's delicious. This is unbeatable.
However, if you order this then there is danger that you'll be marked by the employees from next time on; it's a double-edged sword.
I can't recommend it to amateurs.
What this all really means, though, is that you, >>46996010, should just stick with today's special.

So long as you actually play the games and your interest is in them to at least some degree, you can look up the endings and dialogue all you want. Nowadays I wouldn't even fault you for misremembering something since it's happened to me more than a few times over the past decade or so.

God I miss bomber grape
Wtf is he doing nowadays?

>>46958672
Boy, have I got news for you! Gift sold these for a couple weeks some six years ago and never again. There's one for each Meguca in the main quintet, but I can't find a picture of all of them together.
I missed my opportunity to get Meduka and I regret it to this day. They apparently go for ~65k yen nowadays.

>>46982217
I genuinely believe it's the second one. I reckon fumos are an interest both of them share, and they took the picture together. You'd be surprised at how many women out there would like this sorta stuff.

>Noel saying how some stuff is offensive nowadays
>it's wrong to say "blind typing" to refer to touch typing
Where is she reading that shit

>>46998156
The largest offence that was commited by the new printworks was retconing/recontextualising of interesting PMiSS-era lore, replacing it with a generic Brave New World style dystopia. That alone is cyanide, and that's not even taking into account the general bad quality of the stories presented. It's like he tries to write the same mystery story over and over again, only for it to come out to be boring and pointless each and every time, with the only remotely interesting parts of it being somewhat dry mythology trivia. It would honestly be about as interesting to read about 2hus watching paint dry, if not more.
Multiply that across 14 years and you get modern Touhou - bland, boring shell of it's former self.
Keep in mind that I haven't re-read the printworks in a while and haven't read CDS and Lotus Eaters. This is deliberate, as I want to keep my mind clear for the future rewrite.

Also, don't know if this>>46989504 was you or not, but allow me to clarify this:
>it didn't weigh on fanon as heavily as it is now
What I meant was doujin and fanfic authors forcing themselves to be closer to canon. Back in the day, no one would retcon their work to fit with canon more. Interpretations of characters were also a lot more diverse. Not always good, but at least interesting. Nowadays, only old characters are allowed to have differing interpretations, newer ones are always too close too canon.

>FubuMio glasses sold out completely again
I guess the only hope nowadays is just buying it off the counter.

>>EAST CULTURE GOOD WEST CULTURE BAD!!!!
Yes, this is true. Always has been and always will be.
>>KC literally made MGE because east culture is so shitty nowadays and works its people to death (saroshi) mercilessly and nobody barely speaks out against it because of their collectivist upbringings
You are cherrypicking. Saroshi is not actively destroying Japan like a grim reaper, they will still be here in decades whilst western nations all collapse from ineptitude. And collectivism has always shown to be more stable than individualism, which has ironically produced the least free thinking people on the planet. Besides the matter is not eastern work culture, it is westerners trying to plague MGE with their anti-lolicon sentiments that has been put into their heads by an inferior, draconian culture. Western culture ultimately stems from the cancer known as christianity. They will go to lengths to hate Japanese culture for its differences but will openly worship their evil sand god and bloody scripture that has caused nothing but ear and strife in all of its history. The west needs to be completely obliterated forever. If Monsters were real, they would wipe out evil things like cuckstianity.

> Shiina Ringo

She was fresh voice who stormed Japanese pop music at the very end of 90s. She made three utterly fantastic albums - Muzai Moratorium, Shouso Strip and Kalk Samen Kuri-no-Hana which went from rock pop to avantgarde pop. After that she founded Tokyo Jihen - pop rock band with some catchy killer tunes but as things went on the band became less and less exciting (first two albums are pretty great, though) and after some years she came back to her solo career full-time but it just wasn't really the same. Some people like album Sanmon Gossip while others don't but it seems to be the point of division for many. For years now her albums have been mostly "single collections" as they contain like only one or two original songs and so on.

There's also that thing with her general and political views on things… simply put she isn't really person young people nowadays would be interested in opinion-wise.

Unrelated but I'm looking forward to YUKI's new album next week. Also LOSTAGE should begin selling theit new album from last year in their online shop sometime this month so I'm extremely looking forward to that.
