Anime & Manga Thread v.5 FAQ/IRC: See OP. Welcome to 2017

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Now now, let him finish it first.

That’s what I thought, that art direction is really unique, and I’ve only ever seen the artist for Hitman Reborn do it.

NGE is godlike, one of my favourite animes, or well…Anything, but not for the reasons Zoolander poster.

HAPPIEST ANIME EVER HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

OKAY OKAY OKAY IM DONE.

Holy shit Zoolander, I was going to laugh at that Show That Sucks thing, but you provided more than enough entertainment.

I’m gonna…go play basketball, do some homework or something because if I stay inside laughing I might die.

Ok so i am on chapter 10 of Psycho pass, and i have to say that this series is getting me pissed off

[details=Spoiler]WTF, so she let her friend die just because she is to weaksauce to just shoot the damn motherfucker’s head, nice job done there
[/details]

It doesn’t help that i find the whole minority report vibe so laughable and idiotic

This reminds me of the guy who posted after watching TTGL through episode 7 about how Kamina was the man and he was gonna go watch the rest now.

Don’t remind me about that :rofl:

I’m not quite sure how it’s like minority report but whatever. Also I’m not sure how she’s supposed to go against everything she learned her whole life to rambo the gun and come out on top in the situation. Wait maybe she should of screamed went ssj and saved her friend because her friend was in trouble

It is like minority report, since many people are judged by crimes that they have not committed, but for what could it be based on a halfassed system
It is even worse because they throw some judge dredd elements there where you don’t need a trial to be executed.
Also for what we have saw on some episodes we already know that the system is heavily flawed, and can consider anyone as a beyond redemption just because he/she is under heavy stress.
Just look at the 1st chapter, the poor woman would have been killed because the stupid system tells it

Add that the whole society has devolved into some sort of stupid gataca shit with some Demolition man, where if its not approved by the halfassed system, then you are not good and can be put on quarantine or some shit like that

and finally, dunno you but many people would try to protect their loved ones, i am sure that if someone i love is in danger i wouldnt hesitate on killing the motherfucker, even when all my life i have been taught that kill is bad, she was willing to use her sybil gun (or whatever is the name of the shit system) on the motherfucker, she was fine with killing the bastard if sybil said it, but is not willing to do it by her own despite knowing that he will kill her friend?

and after watching episode 11 i am more pissed, like really, the girl who i don’t remember the name is willing to protect the same society that shunned her just because she plays music, yeah, fuck that shit.
I really hope that some sort of V comes and throws away the stupid society that humanity is trapped on that anime.

This anime started decently, but devolved into shit quickly

@Hecatom You’ll probably get more pissed at, or understand her reaction, when you reach episode 14 :rofl:.

Edit: Ninja’d me but…now you really have to see episode 14 lol.
Edit 2: Meant 14.

Starting ep14 now, lets see if the series manages to get better

edit

im on minute 8 and goddamnit, so you are telling me that humankind has turned into china, where they can see a woman being hit on the street and none one even rise an eyebrow??? :rofl:

And what the fuck with those drones?
So they only care about the mental state.
Man one would think that having an advance system like they have, they would have at least robots that work like the 1st generation of i robot that would try to help someone who vital signals are in danger, like really, the damn machine is only capable to see if someone is stressed or not :rofl:

They’re not by judged by crimes they’re going to commit it’s based on their mental health opposed to some things in a tank predicting the future.

Is the system perfect? Hell no but like you said we’ve been aware of it since ep 1. We also know that even though the system is messed up none of the protags are trying to change it.

Also lets be realistic you really think she would of been capable of firing a weapon that she’s not familiar with? Also ep 1 shows her reluctance to kill some one. This time not only doesnt the dominator tell her not to shoot she doesn’t even know how to use the gun. I’m not quite sure what you expecting but since it’s a show that’s being talked up it’s cool to go against it i guess.

LMAO this guy

Psycho Pass11

Spoiler

To be fair, she tried to shoot the guy, but being not used to a proper gun failed miserably, it’s not like she went “Well shit gun says not to kill him, so better leave this nice man alone”, she just sucked at shooting with a proper gun, I was honestly half expecting her to accidently hit her friend.

And the only reason why i am not siding with the bad guy is because he does unnecessary killings.

Now i will end seeing all this fucking anime to the end despite how much it pisses me off just to see how the story unfolds >:/

The problem is that she didn’t try imo, being scared and making to shoots to the floor is not trying

It’s easy to get angry and dismiss the actions that occur in Psycho Pass because a lot of things goes against what we consider human nature; however, if you view the series within context all of the actions that occur are justifiable and understandable.

Part of the story is clearly showcasing the issues of the Sybil system so I don’t understand why people get so emotionally upset whenever an incident occurs as a direct result of how that society functions due to the Sybil system. It should be really obvious that the flaws of the Sybil system is going to trigger the climax of the series and the actions of the main cast/villain will cause a dramatic change to it.

episode 14

Spoiler

Is it really so hard to believe that nobody would take any action when that women was beaten to death? There’s already been several cases of this happening around the world (don’t think for a single moment that the USA is exempt from a lack of action in incidents similar to that). Having onlookers with cell cameras isn’t really all that extreme because there’s a ton of cases of people filming tragedies like that rather than taking action. Maybe the amount of people doing that is a bit extreme but that’s serves its purpose in the story telling.

The writer is purposefully doing a lot of these things to elicit emotion mostly for shock factor so I guess he’s doing it right…

This conversation is old. If you’re really gonna criticize her for not knowing how to shoot a gun, then you’re just being illogical. Would YOU have the confidence to just “kill the motherfucker” if he gave you a bow and 2 arrows?

And so what if this future world doesn’t make sense? A lot of things in the real world make even less sense. If you can’t just run with it, then how can you ever enjoy any work of fiction?

Shots to the floor?

I seriously just loaded up episode 11 again to check that shit, it blatently shows you the gun aimed at him from her point of view before the gun fires angled upwards in his direction, that shit isn’t shooting at the floor, that shit’s just trying to shoot the target and missing.

Yes the second shot was worse than the first but given the recoil from trying to use it one handed (no gun experience remember), that’s to be expected.

I know a lot of series/movies and games show characters seemingly instantly competant with any weapon they seem to pick up, but it isn’t like that in everything and a character can still try something and fail in some shows/games, not because they didn’t want to do it enough, but because they lacked the training/ability/knowledge to do so.

Yeah I don’t understand why anyone would say the show is bad when they’re not looking at the context within the universe of Psycho-Pass. It’s very, very easy as a viewer to “be on the outside looking in” and make judgments, but those judgments don’t make any sense since society and culture within the Psycho-Pass universe are much different than our own. A lot of the fucked up stuff that goes on within Psycho-Pass makes a lot of sense within the context of the show.

It’s like watching a sci-fi movie where humans are traveling through space, traveling at the speed of light, time traveling, etc., and screaming “YOU CAN’T EVEN DO THAT IN REAL LIFE WTF!”
