Welcome to c/anime on Hexbear!
A leftist general anime and donghua community for discussion and memes.
Simple rules
Be nice.
Use spoiler tags.
Don't sexualise underage characters, including 1000 year old loli ones.
Don't post hentai here. This is an anime community.
High quality threads you should definitely visit
Gigathread: Good Anime Talks, Presentations, Conventions, Panels, etc
Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.
Can't believe they've done it again.
This is even worse than Stone Ocean. There is no OP and ED, only one episode and the next episode nowhere in sight.
Netflix is the death of good content.
I can't believe they scored the most anticipated anime series in a long time, they literally had to do nothing, but then they decided to fuck it up.
Netflix killed the JoJo hype the second they got the series. I don't know what David Production (or whoever made the deal with Netflix) was thinking but no amount of short term profits was worth permanently hamstringing the popularity of the show. In the long run they will be losing money. But most of the money from anime production goes to fucking corporate parasites so you can see why short term gains were prioritized
Jojo went from one of the biggest and most popular franchises to a fringe anime after just one Netflix season. Legitimately insane.
Even profits don't make sense because streaming it on a weekly schedule will retain subscribers for longer compared to batch releases.

Yup. The way Netflix has handled JoJo is just astoundingly bad
what is OP and ED in this context?
OPening song and EnDing song that usually play at the start and end of anime episodes
intro outro music video
It's common to not have an OP in the first episode. I really can't imagine them wholly excluding OPs from a series that has several famous OPs.
I agree but the OP and ED always starts on the second episode in JoJo
Piracy has been back, look into Jellyfin if you wanna self host and maybe cloudstream if you still wanna stream but don't wanna support the terrible services
Huh, apparently Jellyfin supports HDR to SDR transcoding/tone-mapping if you have a GPU for hardware acceleration. Plex does too, but it's locked behind the premium subscription/license which I will not be buying.
All my TVs and monitors are SDR, so until now if I accidentally downloaded HDR video I was SoL.
I have a theory that because the first episode is 2 to 2.5 times an episode length, they're releasing the first episode and holding on that for 2 to 3 weeks before releasing the next episode (so the equivalent of having released an episode a week).
Not to go to bat for Netflix, but I actually prefer staggered release somewhat. I don't want to binge watch, actually. And I don't want my refusal to binge watch to be taken as proof a show should be canceled.
I loved all 6 seasons and am excited for this one :\
I had no familiarity with any of it before i started watching, just that my best friend loved it
If you don't know. Check out Stemio and the mods for it.
Incredibly ceo-brained to split the series up into stages, the first stage is 10 miles and then the next stage is 750 miles.
They also cut out so much stuff from the first part of the story (the worst thing being the abridged introduction to sandman's character).
They released only one episode instead of the entire season? That's actually ridiculous
They staggered release of Dandadan also... This is their usual schedule AFAIK.
Does anybody have info on those Chinese grey-market piracy -streaming boxes? I saw an article about it that said people are selling them in Home Depot parking lots and haven't heard anything else about it.
My homelab streaming server is a old thinkpad from 2017, an old Ethernet cable, and tailscale for remote access, I'd steer clear from vendor hardware like that since you can set up everything yourself (seedbox, jellyfin, etc).
Also curious about these...heard a snippet of info that said they brick every year or so and need to be replaced for some reason
Critical support to Netflix for removing OPs and EDs. Hasn't been a good one since Cowboy Bebop
Edit: Touched a nerve with this one.
Good, fuck yall lmao
I just found the worst post ever made on Hexbear
Critical support to Netflix for removing OPs and EDs. Hasn't been a good one since Cowboy Bebop
I do not endorse Dandadan because the spiritual posession and alien abductions are way too sexual assault-adjacent, but its first OP slaps incredibly hard.
I, on the other hand, endorse Dan Da Dan because it's a great show.
I liked it to an extent but it's definitely CW-worthy.
I also dont like opening and endings in general, there is 1 worth watching or listening out of 100, im here for the story
Tank! may be the goat but the Mob Psycho and Kaguya OPs all slap.
Is Netflix why there's no OP or ED
Probably because of the shitty release schedule.
