Is monogatari an entry level series?
probably not
On one hand it's popular, so newfags are bound to encounter it. On the other hand, most people probably won't like it that much if it's among their first anime
Anime fans will know of it but I imagine the sexualization of lolis will put off most typical normies and casual anime watchers
>>154682164
It's extremely overrated. The story is boring, simple, and uninteresting. The animation and soundtrack are garbage. All it has going for it are the girls and the shaft style.
>>154682376
It's actually underrated. The story is exciting, complicated, and interesting. The animation and soundtrack are great. It has everything going for it.
>>154682398
you make a strong argument
>>154682376
ok buddy we understand you have shit taste, would you kindly kill yourself now
>>154682438
Literally the only good thing to come out of this shitpile franchise is the bird OP and the doujins, and you know it.
If you browse /a/ then it is because monogatari is one of the most talk about and memed animes on the sub. I got into monogatari because of shinobu posting.
If you dont browse /a/ then it couldnt be considered entry level.
It was released after SZS and it's like SZS but worse. Much worse. Just watch SZS.
>>154682164
It's a step up over bottom of the barrel trash like SAO at least. I doubt it's something that someone just getting into anime would just pick up and like. It is popular though, so after getting through some entry level stuff, this will probably be on their short list of stuff to watch.
>>154682164
In short, yes. Have some best girl.
>>154682164
No. Too much dialogue and not enough action/romance for most people to get into.
>>154682501
uh, no. i dont know it
you need to calm down onii-chan. Your hostility is making me kind of scared
>>154682514
>on the sub
>>154682514
>sub
>>154682531
I love SHAFT's artstyle in Bakemonogatari and Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei. It's unique and makes the characters look good.
>>154682164
Most of the normie weebs I met don't even know it exists.
>>154682527
SZS sucks
>>154682514
>monogatari is one of the most talk about and memed animes on the sub.
>on the sub
If you don't stop browsing horrible websites and lurk more you will be a failure and your life will amount to nothing. This is not a joke. Lurk more, you stupid faggot.
>>154682584
>SZS sucks
>>154682584
SZS is far too advanced a meme for casuals like you, for whom loli teeth brushing is probably the height of art.
>>154682597
4chan = board
/a/ = sub-board aka a sub for short
>>154682584
>>154682637
Stop grasping. 4chan=website, a/a=board
>>154682164
Who cares if something is considered "entry-level"? It does not have any impact on the anime itself.
>>154682164
No.
>>154682531
You posted the wrong girl though.
>>154682164
Why do you have to classify everything? Why can't you just enjoy the show?
>>154682726
How am I supposed to be a hipster with a superiority complex if I do that?
>>154682726
To feel superior about disliking monogatari.
>>154682724
Snakeniggers are still fifth-class citizens.
>>154682726
Because I live such a shitty and unfulfilling life that being able to say that I'm not a casual shitter makes me feel just a little bit better about my shitty existence.
>>154682164
I like the fact that even though there is a lot of dialogue, there are still things that are not said that people can pick up on.
Nothing is 100% spoonfed to you.
>>154682754
It's okay to be jealous but you don't need to be in denial.
>>154682660
4chan is indeed a website, cant argue with that.
>>154682164
In a same way that Lucky Star was few years back. People will watch it because they heard other people are watching it, but they will not get most of the appeal.
Too much reading involved to be entry level but it's the next tier up.
>>154682816
I am the opposite of that
I have yet to watch lucky star, and I was not planning to watch monogatari either if it was not for katanagatari
>>154682164
On /a/ sure
Everywhere else hell no.
Too much reading and loli sexualization.
Wow
Gorespammer thread
It's popular on reddit so yes.
climaxia mediafire doom sludge
>>154682816
I watched it because I saw a character posted a bunch and I was interested in that character.Monogatari is now my favorite series and she is my waifu so thank you /a/
>>154683203
I hope it's Kissshot.
>>154683221
>>154683248
Good pick.
>>154682780
Snake grew on me a lot when I re-watched the series.
>>154683036
>>154683248
Webms exist, isnt it time for 4chan to stop supporting gifs?
>>154683327
Agreed. Closest thing is Owari vol.1.
>>154683333
Someone posted that gif so I saved it. If someone posted a webm I would have used it.
>>154683289
She's definitely got the most interesting character in the series.
Her and Kaiki's arcs blow the rest of the series out of the water as far as I'm concerned.
>>154683346
This always happens whenever I delete my posts to fix something.
>>154683327
>im a shitty middle schooler who is afraid to take responsibility for life
>yeah its scary deal with it
It's not bad, but it's far from the most interesting thing the series has to offer.
>>154683360
Yeah it takes effort to make webms but I wouldnt save gifs to my device in 2017 to begin with.
Gonna threadjack for a second here, OP. My question isn't important enough to warrant its own thread.
I watched Bakemonogatari not too long ago. I loved it. Do I watch the rest of the series in broadcast order or is there a specific order that's better to watch it in?
>>154683424
1st google result to "monogatari watch order" gives you the answer.
Yet this question keeps popping up for whatever reason.
>>154682527
I think everyone can agree that SZS is certainly not entry-level at least.
>>154683424
Broadcast. If all of Kizu were out, I'd tell you to watch that first because it got super delayed, but it's not so there's no point.
>>154683457
That scene was too hard for me to watch
>Catfag
>>154682376
Literally not an argument here
>>154683486
I thought it was pretty arousing, cat was never sexier or more appealing looking. Maybe I just dislike glasses.
Her facial expression is great.
>>154682164
No. While highly praised on this board, You will hear little to no talk about it from the typical normie anime consumer.
>>154683506
Her facial expressions are always great
>disliking glasses
Whew lad
>>154683390
Webms are a pain if you're using a phone.
>>154683617
Ah, we cant have that now can we.
>>154683617
They drive off phoneposters too? Fuck. I'm gonna post more webms.
A lot of people watch it but it doesn't mean everyone understands it. I bet there are faggots itt that don't know why Neko Glasses exists, and why she was a slut in Kizu.
>>154683617
>phoneposters
I have never watched this show but I've jerked off to so much porn of it that you wouldn't believe it
>>154683716
>>154683657
>>154683656
Please no bully that I'm outside my. Basement.
>>154683333
>a sort-of replacement exists
>let's deprecate old functionality people still use every day because I don't like it
>thread devolved into webm vs gif shitflinging
just let this thread die already
Am I the only one who thinks White Lies is the #1 best opening?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1AZ4Lc5W75I
>>154684539
I think all the monogatari OPes except the Kanbaru OPes are great.
But yeah, White lies is one of the best.
>>154684539
I think the song and op itself is good and gets undeserved hate due to circumstances.
It has more re-listening value than other ops since its not in poppy anime style.
>>154684567
Ambivalent World is pretty good though.
>>154684600
>Ambivalent World
Hah, no.
>>154684600
More like pretty skip every time and use as evidence on forums for monkey having shit openings.
Season 1? Yes
Other seasons? Not really. But still, you have to have watched at least a few series to stomach some of the cringe inducing anime cliches
>>154684613
>>154684615
It was better than all of Senjougahara, Hanekawa, and Hachikuji's openings.
>>154684812
>baiting this hard
>>154684829Is it bait if it's my genuine opinion? Ambivalent World isn't amazing or anything but I didn't like any of the OPs for those three.
>>154684867
That's..actually a valid point.
>>154684867
Snail, cat, monkey, bee all have poor openings that I skip every time.
Crab on the other hand has great openings so its ridiculous to put ambivalent world over them.
>>154684979
>marshmallow justice and perfect slumbers are bad
Kill yourself
Oh my god
>>154685059
http://openings.moe/?video=Opening2-Nisemonogatari
Idea wise bee opening is really starved, its just shots of bee from different angles, abstract backround and effects that dont relate to anything. Nothing to hold your attention or to inform you.
The song itself is inoffensive pop rock, I dislike how the trumpets sound. It doesnt appeal to me.
Perfect slumbers you can tell from title alone is really slow and downbeat and boring. Again its inoffensively mediocre but you have no reason to listen to it twice.
>>154684812
>better than Kogarashi Sentiment
It's the best OP in the series.
>>154685238
Visually it's good, but the song is meh at best.
>>154685252
The duet version is pretty fantastic. The solo Hitagi version isn't that great.
white lies best song
Araragi with short hair for Anime Japan 2017. What could it mean?
>>154685267
Don't know since he doesn't have short hair in Owari or Zokuowari.
>>154685277
He looks like college student.
>>154685285
We saw in Hana he became a pile of hair, so I can only imagine it's Musubi related? I have no idea otherwise.
>>154685262
Kaiki va is a poor singer, my first reaction to him was "this sounds bad"
The song fits the 90's theme but that theme itself is out of style for a reaosn so you'd expect people to not find it great.
>>154685302
> We saw in Hana he became a pile of hair
It was his first year in college.
But I hope fucking Shaft will announce something.
>>154685334
I didn't read some of the off-season stuff, did he ever appear in any of them when going to college?
Kinda
For fanservice? Sure
For actually getting the jokes and story? Hell fucking no.
>>154682164
It's babby's first ""deep"" anime.
>>154683036
Sugura is so perfect, I wish I was a cute girl so she would violate me
>>154685400
Monogatari seems to be an entry level series for secondaries that just want the waifus and lewds instead of the words.
>>154685430
That's Eva.
>>154685450
>that just want the waifus and lewds instead of the words
That's exactly what I mean
I like it for the characters and banter between them
>>154685450
>That's Eva.
Monogatari is kinda like Eva but with infinitely more likeable protag.
Shinji never stops crying goddamn.
>>154685343
I'm not sure.
>>154685472
>I like it for the characters and banter between them
Might as well read the novels, those are Nisio isin's strenghts.
>>154685475
Monogatari isn't really "deep" though, it specifically mentions everything it's trying to discuss instead of adding in random imagery and religious icons just to add deepness.
>>154685495
I'm buying them as they're officially translated. Kizu and Bake I have really good translators from them.
>>154683333
Gif is still easier to edit and create.
>>154685559
Shaft truly is the best at drawing eyes.
I wish their style was copied more.
>>154682164
No its not. No dialouge focused anime can ever be entry level.
>>154685624
People like .hack//SIGN and think it's entry level despite being 100% dialogue.
>>154685573
Well creating a jpg in paint.exe is easier still but it doesnt necessarily add more value.
Everything popular and good is entry level
>>154685647
People don't want value they want convenience.
>>154682164
I tried recommending it to some normie friends and no one liked it. Too much dialogue.
>Inb4 someone spergs because I used the word "normie"
>>154685670
>friends
>>154685267
he first had to let it grow for later ''character development''
>>154685343
He is briefly in Karen Ogre. Talks to Kanbaru over the phone in Suruga Bonehead too I guess.
>>154685670
I know that feel
>wahhh they only talk it's so boring
Kill yourself Sascha
>>154682164
Mid tier.
It certainly a high hurdle for people who are new to anime to enjoy, however, if you enjoy it it seems like a "gateway" anime to the weirder/non normie friendly anime out there.
>>154685670
>Too much dialogue.
Your friends are probably rednecks or underage
>>154685267
Well, it says Koyomimonogatari, I don't know
>>154685705
Gotta hide Shinobu's bite marks somehow
>>154685593
SHAFT always manages to pull off super-aesthetically pleasing styles for all their shows.
>>154685777
Maybe I am a sucker for aesthetics and why Monogatari, SZS and PPD are my favorite anime.
>>154685777
Do they just employ the best character designer in the industry?
I guess we have to thank vofan for some of monogataris designs though.
>>154685800
SZS has really nice characters and not much else. Cute girls alone dont carry a show.
>>154685826
Well, they also have Nisio write the characters, which helps cater to some fetishes.Just look at Kanbaru
>>154685870
Which characters did Nisio write?
>>154685752
Both are 24 y/o and attending uni
>>154685882
The whole thing?
>>154685826
SZS is a comedy (most of Shaft's older stuff was comedy). It has stuff alongside cute girls, but gag series isn't for everyone
Manga had one hell of an ending too
>>154685800
>>154685826
For Monogatari, I think they hit the nail by having creative freedom on animating it when it came to cinematography combined with VOFAN's designs. As for SZS, it's a mix of Kumeta's nice style and SHAFT's style to always emulate a style perfectly. Hidamari Sketch too but with Ume's wiiiiide style instead.
>>154685886
>24y/o and go to uni
>Monogatari has to many words
We're doomed
>>154685895
Woops I read that as he write some SZS characters. I misread that.
>>154685886
>attending uni
>means something
Even worse. If 24 y/o bitching about amout of dialogues that means a lot. Well some people watch nothing except capeshit after all.
>>154685917
I feel Shaft took inspiration from tatami galaxy when making SZS.
>>154685917
VOFAN has some great designs and I do like SHAFT having Akio Watanabe change up some of the designs to make characters more iconic, like changing Hanekawa and Senjous hair color, and giving Ougi sleeves.
>>154685971
Check the dates retard
>>154685971
The Tatami Galaxy animu came 3 years after SZS...
>>154685992
>>154686015
Maybe its otherway around then, I watched Tatami galaxy After SZS and felt similarity.
>>154682527
Again, even Shaft-haters like SZS. Why?
>>154686045
There are people in this thread that express dislike with SZS.
>>154686045
Chiri is a miracle of the universe, that's why.
>>154684979
>not liking Kaerimichi
>>154686094
Even as a Chirifag I wonder why there are so many of us, is it just because of Marina Inoue?
>>154686084
I dont get the humour, its not funny yet its supposed to be a comedy.
Its more enjoyable to just look at SZS girls in jpg/webm form on 4chan rather than watch the show itself.
>>154686115
Yes
>>154682569
Is Shaft the ultimate normie/pleb filter?
>>154686212
>Chiri
>Sodachi
>best Monogatari OP
Is there anything she can't do?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6wK9voIP9cU
>>154686251
She's tied with Miyuki Sawashiro for best SHAFT VA
>>154686212
Somehow I did enjoy her banter with Araragi in Musubi more than his banter with Hitagi in Rendezvous.
>>154686300
Sorry but Chiwa and Sakamoto are best.
>>154686300
Between araragi, bat, crab, monkey is anyone really worse than the others?
They're all perfect.
>>154686304
I don't dislike Gahara but the Ougi stuff was the best part of Rendezvous
Can we all agree that this is worst girl?
>hurr I know everything I'm the smartest
>every dialogue is just me trolling the others or dumping a shitload of information in a way too long monologue
>koyomi xDD
>>154686371
Ougi is a boring character. Her idea is good but realization is awful.
>>154686304
I haven't seen the Rararagi x Math banter but the Crab x Math banter was off the chart
https://u.nya.is/dopngr.webm
>>154686392
She is only worst girl because she keeps everyone in the dark all the time, then her plans are either ruined or leads into a even bigger ruse. Like the rest of the specialists, she could use more airtime.
>>154686404
Why do you say that anon?
Monogatari is like Final Fantasy games. Overrated garbage that thinks it's being smart with it's pseudo-intellectual messages.
>>154686392
I love her VA in general, and her design is cute. Everything else about her feels engineered to be annoying as fuck though.
>>154686412
Imagine if we could just save those to our pc and post on /a/ whenever. Oh well, "4chan isnt a video streaming website" herp derp.
>>154686446
>pseudo-intellectual
I love how people say shit like that and pretentious when it comes to Monogatari, but never actually specify what they mean.
>>154686441
I don't like her design. She isn't beautiful.
>>154686461
It's only 'cause it has sound. I would've cross-posted from /wsg/ but this was faster.
>>154686471
That's fine.
>>154686446
Nise was the only one where it felt like Nisio had his head up his ass with the "pseudo-intellectual" stuff to me.
there's three kinds of people with opinions on the monogatari series. In ascending order of patricianess
1) those who see it as fanservice haremshit and enjoy it.
2) those who see it as fanservice haremshit and think they're above it
3) those who understand the deeper meaning and the higher concepts that the show and novels play upon.
>>154682164
A lot of normalfags probably wont be able handle all the talking with minimal action, so no.
>>154686250
Actually Sha*t is babby's first ARTSY studio, which is why they seem to have the most normie/pleb fans.
Call me when they can actually animate like KINOani.

>deeper meaning
Lemme guess, you're one of those people that think zero time dilemma was super deep and shit.
Do the gene pool a favour and kill yourself.
>>154686722
I hope no one thinks ZTD was a deep game, it shit on it's prequels pretty hard.
>>154686722
I mean, there are "deeper" meanings present, doesn't make it 2deep4u or whatever though.
I updated the OP wall with Sodochi Lost's opening:
http://galax.moe/monogatari/ops
>>154686527
It's not really that deep, but it's certainly a step above other harem shows. Try Evangelion if you want something that's actually deep.
>>154687203
There is a difference between deep and "deep"
>>154686392
Easily the most likeable best girl by a long mile.
>>154687222
What do you mean?
>>154686115
Because she has the most screen time of all the girls, except Kafuka. Has multiple personality quirks that get brought up almost every episode. Compared to, for example, Kaere where her split personality is nowhere to be seen most of the show. Always either agrees or disagrees most passionately about whatever Nozomu is talking about. Butts heads with other people often. Basically she has a really strong presence in the show. Having a more distinct voice because of Inoue also helps. Listen to the first 30 seconds of Rumba, she is the most easily recognizable one.
>>154687222
and there's a difference between "deep" and "wandering endlessly inside the writer's crippling depression"
>>154686722
I've never played ZTD nor its prequels. I would say I'm sorry you can't appreciate art, but I'm not really because it's your problem if you can't see beyond the superficial

>>154685129
Shinobu is the cutest afterall.
>>154686471
She is supposed to be off putting. Her monochromatic character design is supposed to be striking and instill a sort of weariness of her.

I appreciate good writing. I appreciate good art.
I don't appreciate tryhards that make the plot convoluted and then call that >deep

install ffmpeg on your pc, then make a bat file and drag and drop the video you want to turn into a webm on this batch:

What does entry level even mean.
Popular?
If a friend asked me for a good comedic anime I'd recommend Sunred. However, Sunred isn't exactly popular.
Everything is accessible to an extent.
>>154688765
Probably means something everyone watches, like Shingeki no Kyojin, Evangelion, Dragonball Z, etc.
>>154686250
>>154688800
Not >>154688765 but in that case monogatari would be entry level for som people. A sort of "if you are into 2deep4u anime then you must see monoGatari"
>>154688851
In that case I think it would be harder to describe what a non-entry level anime is.
>>154688576
forgot to mention that you need to add
>-an
as an option if you want to post on something that is not /wsg/ or /gif/
this option will just mute the webm

thought webms were supported by android phones
>>154682164
no. you have to have a much higher power level to appreciate most of the situations and humor and separate that from the fan service.
>>154688876
Well, maybe something that is s popular that it does not make you "enter" anything. Something that you begin watching as a normie and end up watching a normie with no changes
>>154687967
>He even has one about you, see pic related.
So you didn't even read the book you're recommending? Are you trying to be appear as a pseudo-intellectual or just plain pretentious
>>154689549
Yeah for example, id say Eva and Madoka Magica.
I mean, you can sort of just enter it now for mecha/mahou shoujo and some despair, but you really wont get whats the bigger picture/implications of each.
>>154689796
EVA is entry level anime that's been stuck with the 2deep4u meme.
>>154689549
>Naruto.
>One Piece.
>Bleach.
>Death Note.
>Dragon ball.
>SAO.

I don't think monogatari is "Entry level" Even if it's pretty famous. People will drop it due to its visuals and its "weird" development. Add to that the "messed" watching order (Even if it's not messed at all).
Entry level is something That you can sit there and watch, have a fair ammount of good time and close.
Maybe some of the stuff I've listed are more into the "Pleb" Level and not "entry" level.
The "normie anime" Are made just because they've been thrown in your face by tv when you were younger. (Like Naruto, one piece, dragonball) And don't get me wrong on that, I'm not saying they're bad.
Entry maybe is more "I like anime because of tv anime I've seen as a kid, what are the new good animes?"
The ones the community Will eventually talk about and that you'll eventually end up looking in your early days. (Death note, EVA, SAO, maybe bleach...)
I Guess my definition is "Not TV famous but yet Famous"
Also, I have to underline that, Even if /a/ doesn't like this idea:
> Famous =/= Shit.
I could be wrong tho.

>I didn't expect you to be into incest
>>154682164
It's not very interesting because it's the same thing over and over again. Teenager brain problems have been done better.
>>154691000
Checked.
>But I'm not into incest anon it was just a funny gag
>>154691202

We would also have to take into account how much of a weeb the watcher is.
If you were to watch something like NGE now it would not seem 2deep4u, but if it were to be one of your firsts animes then you would be amazed at how different is feels at some times.
Maybe most of the very popular series are good entry-level for a newbe and overrated/bad/pleb for someone who is more acclimated to amine.
Now, if you have watch nothing but Naruto, One Piece, etc for years and think that it is the pinnacle of what's possible then there is a problem.
As long as you advance then there is no problem.

>>154682164
Not a show a lot of people would be interested into. Also need more Numachi.
>>154692180
She is dead, Anon. Let her goinb4: That does not stop Koyomi from molesting half of the girls in this show
>>154692259
She might be dead, but she exists in our hearts. Also strange she is a demon god in her life but simply a human beings when she died.
>>154682164
I don't think so. I love the series now, but I remember how painful it was getting through the first few episodes of Bake. It took a while for me to get used to the barrage of dialogue and spastic camera angles.
That, on top of the fact that even though Bake is a cold opening, it still takes what seems like forever to get to the point. I think it's something you should watch after you've got a few shows under you belt.
>>154692575
That's different than my experience. The first couple episodes of Bake I instantly knew I would absolutely love the series, and it never backed down and this is from someone who hasn't watched any anime for approx 2 year before Monogatarinot including watching Danganronpa 3 before starting Bake.
>>154692575
I love it immediately in the first arc. I don't even really like Senjougahara. I love the way they handles her problem.
Do the subs really do it justice?
Aren't you missing out on the best aspect of the show, the dialogue, if you can't speak nip?
>>154686527
this makes a lot more sense when you read it backwards
>>154684539
Unlike Mein Schatz, which is just terrible.
>>154692907
I don't have problems with sub. Not really missing out either, then again I don't understand nips.
My problem is you have to pause fast enough so you won't missing out unimportant details like 'Kaiki's stride'.
>>154685316
Think the VAs were told to do it like they were singing karaoke or some shit. It's intented to not sound technically good.

monogatari series is not a harem
>>154682637

Dude there's no getting out of that hole you dug yourself

He never said it was

this
>>154684567
The visuals to Last Day are some of the best to any OP ever though.
>>154685129
She can pull off any look.
It has too many pleb filters to be entry level. Hachikuji is the first of them.
>>154694711
Sounds like you never made it to Nise.
>>154685475
>Shinji never stops crying goddamn.
Fuck off! when will this meme die?
>>154698465
Show my a scene in which he's happy AND isn't looking at Kaworu's dick.
>>154698602
You don't have to look happy all the time tho.
>AND isn't looking at Kaworu's dick
That's not a fair condition, senpai.
>>154692180
>Numachi
I have yet to see Nisio write a worse character. She's definitely the most shallow, annoying piece of garbage in the series.
Don't mind me. Just posting this gif because it makes me chuckle.
>>154698961
Nisio rates her name highly though. Besides she's not a girl who'd be judged by her cutesy or appearance like other girls. Who's your best girl of monogatari?
>>154698961
I never read rouka god, but the issue in Hana was that she seemed to solely exist to present an ideal, which was that waiting a problem to go away is better than acting on impulse. It didn't help that she is a rational character and brought kanbaru to serious logical conversations when emotional or silly is the series strength. Maybe if Kanbaru had been a stronger MC she could pull more personality out of Rouka.
I dislike Gaen more though, she is actively annoying and redundant with her speeches and destroys the small amount of mystery left when she talks. It's like a no fun Aikawa Jun that says the obvious.
>>154692259
I'm glad my waifu, Rouka has nothing to do with Araragi. Still curious in how they would interract if they meet tho.
Does anyone know if Vertical's release of Bake has been made into an epub?
>>154682164
No, why would anyone choose monogatari as one of their first anime?
>US theatrical releases
Yes.
>>154685213
Hanekawa's OPs are all about traveling and being set free, and the "sleep" motif sticks in each one.
Perfect Slumbers showed more about how much Araragi emotionally depends on Hanekawa than the anime did, with her standing over a kneeling Araragi at the end of the song, and it perfectly (heh) shows how much she wants to travel with the cuts in different areas and the guitar to show she is a drifter, a "stray cat".
It's pretty much as monogatari as you can get.
>>154692912
mein schatz was good, fuck off
>>154687111
Nice, could you also change the mathemagics version for the BD textless one? All the mirrored text pollutes the best OP too much.
>>154702076
toothbrush incest
>>154704596
it wasn't incest. he didn't do anything like that. all he did was innocently brush her teeth.
>>154685129
What a miracle
>>154705762
And he gently walks Hitagi home
