THREAD AKARI
>>136248306
Might as well.
I'm speaking as someone who has been in love with Akari for over 10 years, please don't make a thread like this just to put cute image of her, that's a thread made for /c/ not /a/.

Why are Akaris always so nice and lovable?
>>136250387
I wonder.
>>136250205
The old Niizk subs are fine for the most part. You'll have to delay them for 1000ms so they sync with the audio.
Lewd Akari is best Akari.
I wish the Aqua chapters were animated.
>>136249899
You mean just like the ANIMATION ones? Or is there a difference between the two as to how it was made?
>>136250504
I'm having a problem. I'm using Aegisub to retime subs but they also have a completely different font and are giant as hell.

That's more along the lines of something you do to a single girl, not each individual action. Unless you get a kick out of turning one into a junky.

Episode 2 tonight, I'm again enjoying it much more that my first watch through. Shows like this are so much better an episode a week, gives you much more to look forward too.

That upscale really makes me so sad.
>>136250757
How does that hair evenwork? Did she glue two sprits of hair together?
Did they just run every frame through waifu x2, the BD's honestly look terrible, they should never have released a BD box if they were just going to do awful upscales.
>>136256437
Looks like her pigtails are looped back and tied into a ponytail with the rest of her hair.
I imagine she must get caught on things a lot.

It's implied at the end that it's a kind of public blog, as I recall.

So it's just CaIt Sith? I thought he was just snooping her emials or something
>>136272173
Like he said, it appears to have been a public blog. Just a bit of confusion with the translation choice being "Dear Penpal", which was really just a generic "Salutations" or similar.

>>136273626
>You missed the manga's point, lad.
The one you're currently posting. I havent read it.
I guess I should, but points dont matter. It's easy to get the point of a story, but putting things into action (or just your mindset) is much harder.
>>136273741
>Was referring to Aria.
Oh.
Was there a point?
I thought it was just a nice, happy place without problems.
I havent read the manga, maybe I should. Is it better than the anime?
>>136273775
>putting things into action (or just your mindset) is much harder
Ain't that the truth.
>>136273821
>Was there a point?
It could be said that the series has a central lesson: that there's wonder in everything, if one is willing to look for it. It's up to you to alter your frame of mind so that everyday miracles become more apparent.
I've had difficulty practicing that myself. Maybe one day.
>>136274129
In a world surrounded by media, technology and sub cultures, it's pretty hard to find anything special in everyday occurances due to desentisization.
>>136274129
Only if you're as easily amused as Akari. Having not standards is itself a vice.
>>136274507
I think you still(?) misunderstand. Which is strange, because in this thread we basically got to see the external Akari filter in the posted chapter.
>>136274129
>Ain't that the truth.
Heh, funny you should post Marcus Aurelius. Stoicism is exactly what I had in mind typing that. I understand it, I shouldnt care about shit beyond my control or let it bother me. But actually being happy in such circumstances, holy shit it's insanely hard.
>It could be said that the series has a central lesson: that there's wonder in everything, if one is willing to look for it. It's up to you to alter your frame of mind so that everyday miracles become more apparent.
That went over my head. But it's a wonderful lesson you learned from the anime and I like that you took it from that.
>>136274291
I wouldnt say desensitization is the issue. More is being asked of people. Is your health good, your social life, do you earn X amount a year, etc. It all boils down to your life being compared to others and looking terrible as a result. It doesnt help there are always ideas being pushed as cures to make you happier, more confident, etc.
I wish I had a job though, jsut to keep the jobcenter and family quiet.
>>136274664
I'm a different anon. Anyways I'm not denying that the moral of Aria is to look for wonders anywhere, but that's only possible if we live in the best of all possible worlds; else there do exist things where no wonders will be found.
>>136274899
Okay, okay, I will post this not for you, but for everyone. It's not mine, and I don't totally agree with it, but I think it's a valid point in this exchange. Another big point, one of the main points even, of Aria is that Neo-Venezia is not a paradise. For instance, almost every single wonder Akari found could have easily killed her. Aqua only appears a utopia because that's how Akari perceives it.
>>136275021
But that's the thing, there is never any violence in Aria, no groups of different people vying for power at each other's expense. A utopia by it's traditional definition is just a peaceful society that runs without issue, which is certainly neo-veneniza at least as it's depicted. The real world is not so kind.
You aren't going to find beauty in the beheading of innocents, or impoverished countries worshiping a supreme leader. You could say one should aim to ignore these things and appreciate all of life's wonders to its fullest but I think that's just becoming forcefully ignorant. And of course at those peoples who suffer expense.
Akari's world view can only be justified in the idyllic setting.
>>136274724
If I wanted to get my life in order, I would follow stoic or Buddhist teachings as closely as possible, and also model my outlook on Akari's.
I'm just too attached to vice at the moment.
>>136274507
>that comic
>>136275021
Haha what? Do you have any idea how naive and sheltered Akari is? Her being able to live her life as depicted in Aria is no justification for how true the moral is.
>>136275284
Arent their teachings pretty much
Stoicism
>You arent in control of anything other than your thoughts, so stop caring about everything else and be happy.
Buddhism
>Everything is shit. Meditate on how terrible everything is to destroy all your desires and free yourself from suffering as a result
It doesnt make it easier to get a job. I need a routine, I need deadlines and I need a sense of progreess.
Sadly my self control is weak and I dont know how to fix it and reorganize my life. Maybe I should jsut block this site.
>>136275347
Not only that, but her life is only possible in Aqua. In our world things would end VERY badly for her.
>>136275265
It's not literally finding everything beautiful. It's to find the beauty in your life and your surroundings. Unless you are actually in the bottom 1% of poverty in the worst war-torn place in the world, you have something to look forward to or live for. Akari doesn't ignore anything; she accepts it and even then lives positively. I can say that every single person in this thread can do the same simply by virtue of being fortunate enough to have access to a computer and the internet. We aren't talking about the world in the story, we're talking about what each of us real people can take from it and make our lives just a little bit better.
I want to say that another series about finding this same sort of beauty in ugliness is Kino's journey, but that takes a more grounded approach to it by actually putting Kino in near constant danger. Yet the message is the same.
>>136275516
And thus I posit that Aria *is* indeed a spectacle. An object of envy, for we could never attain or physically perceive something as undeniably wonderful as whatever took place in it.
The argument that Aria is a treatise on moral theory relies on the assumption that something as quaint as Aria could become actualized, that someone could actually become who Akari is, which I think is frankly impossible.
>>136275554
I'm saying that being pointlessly optimistic at all the little things in life similar to Akari is just going to make you more depressed when something bad happens. Even in my affluent situation I've had to fend off a violent home invader, be scammed by others exploiting human good will. If I was inwardly enjoying how pretty the snow covered park was, it won't make the threat of violent death any less real.
Kino's Journey is different, in that Kino is extremely pragmatic, she is actually pessimistic about the outcomes of things to protect herself. But on occasion when the time is right she reflects on the beauty of something ugly.
Akari's world view simply doesn't work in a world of self interested violent actors. She would be exploited, stolen from, and harmed as long as she kept her hopeless optimism.
Why must people try so hard to corrupt beautiful 2D with the disgusting realities of 3D?
>>136275854
>>136275764
That guy looks pretty cool. I'd get on his gondola.
Also Kuro is another good manga about how one should view life.
Man, ARIA is so comfy. Sadly i can't find a good torrent for the manga.
What makes Aria so good, other than comfiness?
>>136278410
The names, the designs, the music(if you're watching the anime), the themes, the faces.
