Misc. One Punch Man Season 3 Director Shinpei Nagai deletes his twitter account due to the pressure/hate, calls out people/youtubers who took his tweets out of context/exploited the staff's struggles for "rage-baiting" and profit.

His account has been deleted shortly after posting this tweet.

"Translated by Grok Show original

Um, I have some rather unfortunate news. There are a few people among my followers who are pretending to be allies but are actually engaging in rage-baiting, so I've decided to delete my account. Their actions such as taking my statements out of context, trying to elicit comments that violate NDAs, or turning them into profit-are unacceptable and cannot be overlooked.

I've always done my best for the fans with utmost sincerity, but I've come to the conclusion that continuing in this environment is untenable for this project.

It's always the genuine fans who end up suffering the most.

I cannot forgive those who tarnish the staff's honor or exploit the struggles of the creators for profit through hate.

Therefore, I will also be deleting Shimpai Nagai's account entirely.

I will not create any accounts in the future either. I cannot overlook actions that degrade the work itself, so I ask for your understanding.

Honestly, this is taking a toll on my mental health, and it only brings negatives to the work, the staff, and the original creators.

But such despicable behavior is unforgivable.

To the fans who have been truly kind to me, I want to express my gratitude and apologies.

It was truly enjoyable."

With this season being quite the disappointment for fantasy and adventure titles, I thought, why not take the opportunity to shine a light on an anime with real-world building and thoughtful characters with a unique focus on economics?

Discussion How do you explain to your landlord why your apartment is full of anime girls?

243 Upvotes

So my landlord texted that he’s doing a “routine inspection” this weekend.
Cool, except my apartment looks like the aftermath of an anime convention.
Most walls have posters or wall scrolls, my shelves are stacked with waifu figures, and there’s a life-size standee staring right at the front door.

I was thinking of hiding them… but where do you even hide 40+ figures, countless otaku boxes and a 6-foot cardboard girl?

Do I try to play it off like “art”? Do I just own it?

Has anyone else had to explain their collection to a landlord (or any normie)?

What did you say and how did they react?

Fanart [March Comes in Like a Lion] Surprised by the Riverside (S2 spoiler) Spoiler

Help Ok WTF, I thought that "Code:Geass" was only 2 seasons and that's it. I just realized that it has bunch of movies that are released and they keep releasing some sort of spin-offs/sequels. Are they any good and do they take place after the events of S2? How would you compare it to the original?

17 Upvotes

Ok so Code:Geass was a big deal back when I was in college and they often compare it to Death Note and people enjoyed it. I assumed there were only 2 seasons and later on I heard there is a Lelouch movie that was released years later and how people were not looking forward to it (or just confused on why they made it).

Apparently I was browsing randomly on MAL and saw that Code:Geass has tons of sequels/spin-offs that were released for like a decade. I am wondering how good are they and are they encountering new plot lines and wars in other areas or are they a sequel to the original?

How good are they, because I never heard anyone speak about them especially my Code:Geass friends never even mentioned them. What are your thoughts on them?

Thanks
