Sakura Quest

I think it was dull and plain.

No, it's not.

I think Pink Aoi was cute and arousing.

The Tari Tari hybrid was too cute. (That smile.)

So why did people hate it?

It will be fun

It's gonna turn into a horror show in about 2 episodes and I'm ready.

When do we start bullying the sakuras?

Is this the successor to HanaIro?

Probably because people are already praising it like second coming of Christ, even though only one episode has aired. People don't even remember the MC's name.
The first episode wasn't even good but I'm sure it's gonna pick up in the upcoming episodes.

>>155525903

it was decent, but mostly its trust credit given to it by Shirobako/PA Works fans to see if it delivers.

3 epiode rule. 1st episode was nothing.

Its generic secondhand PA Works tourist show trying to copy Shirobako to attract its fans

Its only "refreshing" as its not 6th magic academy battle harem this season

I don't think shortening a character's name is nearly on the same level as the puns in Gabriel Dropout. The latter changes the fundamental meaning of what's being said, while the former doesn't. CR will most likely be on the lookout to prevent another problem for a while, however.

As for living off of it. You can live off of damn near anything as long as it has carbohydrates and isn't actively toxic. You won't be healthy, especially in the long-term, but you'll be alive. Plain bread and sugarwater can keep someone going for weeks or even months at a time.

If you're poor you should buy rice, beans and frozen veggies as the core staples. Those three items are cheap and cover most of the nutritional bases.

If you have a bit more money, potatoes and sweet potatoes are great. Investing in a slow cooker is awesome too, since you can slow-cook really cheap cuts of meat and get great results. Buy what's on sale and try to slowly build up a nice collection of spices and seasonings.

When you do get fresh vegetables, pick the ones where it counts. Aromatics and ones that impart a lot of flavour when fresh are best.

If you're willing to cook, budget and pay attention to meal planning and preparation, you can feed a single person for as little as $50 a month (though that's probably almost entirely vegetarian, and I would recommend a b12 supplement at the very least if you go that way).

Honestly, it's probably better to do the beans separate for a couple reasons:

1 - dried beans need to be soaked overnight, and then must be boiled for at least 10 minutes before cooking them to break down toxic substances. Also, they just need a long time to cook.

2 - Canned beans will make your rice soggy and get really crumbly after cooking for that long in a rice cooker.

You might want to try lentils, which will cook in almost the exact same time, and with a similar amount of water as white rice. Throw in a couple broth cubes, and it turns out really good in the rice cooker while being extremely filling.

Yep, there was absolutely no slang used in Gabriel Dropout...

And really if you think slang is on the same level as memes, you're retarded. Memes add pop culture references to things that weren't there. Slang changes a character's wording to envoke the same kind of feeling as the Japanese equivalent phrasing. Nuance is lost in translation, this give some of it back in a slightly different manner.

She was pretty desperate and accepted it in a rush.

At least they were being honest.
I had interviews where the company added conditions that weren't on the contract during the interview and told you right out "accept or don't even hope being hired".

>>155538598
She got away quite easily. Things could have been WAY worse for her. Hastily signed contracts can lead to the worst kind of abuses.

>>155538823
Shirobako's first episode was quite long but it did the setting pretty efficiently and did plant lots of things that would become recurrent themes afterwards.

This episode was actually funnier but a bit less focused.

Oh god the premise of this show is the exact same as a Chink drama my parents watched.

>>155525903
I just found it infuriating. Here we had a 20 yo college student right out of luck, with 10 bucks in the bank and 31 failed job interviews and FINALLY she gets a break and what does she do? Kick, scream, and whine the whole 22 minutes.

She has full time work being a god damn queen for the next year and she can only complain. Like what the fuck?? She should be ecstatic.

She even finds out that her happiest memory in her entire life was in this town during its heyday and she still can't liken to the idea of working there.

The town is even genuinely interesting, with real feel good people who want the best for it. The old man is so bro he let her on the job even though she's the wrong girl, he's so bro he letsh er drink with all his buddies, and he's so bro that when he finds out the girl is on the fence about the job he fuckin dresses up and puts on a play for her thinking it'd inspire to like the job and what does she do? BREAK HIS FUCKING NECK.

Here we have a full 22 minute episode of a failing millennial who does nothing but kick and scream and damn it watching this was stressful. The next episode better make up for the wreck that was the first.

>>155540358
>FINALLY she gets a break
Nigga you don't understand.
She's a safety net kid. If her finances fail, she moves back home to the country and continues to live a cushy life where her financially secure middle-class parents pay for everything and she can work some easy rural job through family connections.

She doesn't want any of that. The reason she's kicking and screaming is because the job she got is basically putting her right out in the country, where she'd be if she failed. She only needs the money so she can stay in the city, so moving out of the city defeats the whole point. That's why she's upset. The job itself doesn't actually matter, she just needs something to financially enable her to stay downtown and party like a 20-something country girl. All the money in the world won't enable the lifestyle she wants if she's stuck in the sticks.

>>155526000
Don't compare Shirobako to that trash

>>155539696
That's awful. Were they bullshit conditions that made you reject the job?

>>155540511
I can get that I suppose. To her accepting the job is the same as failing. That'd explain why she's so adamant about going back to Tokyo.

Is still don't forgive her for breaking old man's neck, though. He was nothing but nice to her.

>>155540358
>I just found it infuriating. Here we had a 20 yo college student right out of luck, with 10 bucks in the bank and 31 failed job interviews and FINALLY she gets a break and what does she do? Kick, scream, and whine the whole 22 minutes.

Damn, who knew getting dragged into a job she didn't want was a gift in disguise. Even though she has a college degree I'm sure she's happy working a 1-year contract for a modeling agency that has nothing to do with her chosen career path.

inb4 "read the contract". Modeling companies selling you off to the highest bidder in non-standard contracts is a shitty ethical violation.

>She has full time work being a god damn queen for the next year and she can only complain. Like what the fuck?? She should be ecstatic.

Last I checked, local governments don't recognize made-up positions of authority. Even in the figurative "queen" sense she'll still be working non-stop for that year.

>She even finds out that her happiest memory in her entire life was in this town during its heyday and she still can't liken to the idea of working there.

Her happiest memory is completely separate from the context of living and working in bumfuck nowhere. It could have just as easily been in metro Tokyo or a foreign country. Additionally the memory was about being spoiled as a child. Adults working full-time jobs don't fulfill a similar role.

They literally go over this in the episode. They had already submitted the deposit to the modeling agency and would have lost money if they hadn't brought her on.

Adults don't go chasing women in the middle of the night in order to convince them for a job. That's fucking weird. The old guy is a nutjob (openly acknowledged by other town members) who botched the entire hiring and coronation process. Who gives a shit if he's nice.

Shirobako's first 5 or 6 episodes were quite weak compared to the rest of the series considering the sheer amount of worldbuilding (not sure if that's the correct term in this context) that had to be done.

>I'm honestly amazed that it happened when shows like Re:Zero, Rakugo and Hibike S2 aired that year which had a much bigger footprint here
That's why I'm so confused by the hate Flip Flappers gets; I never remember it being particularly big here. So for it first to be AOTY 2016 and then one of the most reviled series on the board doesn't make any sense.

This hits too close to home.

>>155543371
Because people got lured into the threads ESPECIALLY by the poll results and it got popular. However, the show had an "episodic => plot-oriented" switch, which made it seem like it didn't know where it was going.
F/a/ggots who didn't like episodic stories shat on it, /a/utists who couldn't stand the switch started shitting on it, but it was still talked about, be it with love or hatred, and it gathered even more hatred from /a/'s contrarians because "hurrrr stop the generals".
The finishing blow were the sales.

Flip Flappers did everything that could have pissed off /a/utists and therefore gathered a pool of hatred around itself.

>>155543952
So I take it that it started out very well and then went into a nosedive from which there was no recover?

Pretty much. The show itself looks really cool though.

>>155543935
It wasn't strawpoll and the threads reminding everyone were up for several weeks. I'm not saying it was a big competition since votes have been diminishing over the years in those polls, but the results sure created a stir, so it had the same effect as if it were official.

>>155544014
I'd say so. Even many avid fans couldn't help being disappointed by the direction it took towards the end.

It started out amazingly and I honestly had a lot of fun watching it. Some episodes in particular were pretty amazing, to be honest.
The latest episodes weren't so amazing but I thought they were still worth watching and had some goods moments.

But the negativity of the threads almost had a psychological effect on people around here and it kinda snowballed to become what it is now. It is even shitposted on other boards, although quite rarely.

I still definitely recommend it.

It got exposure because it won the poll, and that provokes people to shit on it. Most of the people shitting on it probably didn't even watch it, but winning a boardwide poll and then selling poorly turns it into an easy target to shit on.

>>155544014
It started out largely episodic, with some foreshadowing of a larger plotline hinted at in the background. It stayed episodic until the 10th episode, where the plot stepped into the foreground with a big twist and dramatic reveal. Since people had been in it 9 episodes for the fun episodic adventures, the shift was unwelcome and lots of people consider it the weaker part of the series and a squandering of the story's potential. It was nowhere near a major fuck up or great downward spiral, nothing that would be exceptionally polarizing. It was just shift that mildly disappointed some fans, then got blown out of proportion later on by dedicated shitposters, like the one who randomly brought up the show in this thread just to start an argument.

The airing threads were full of spam from the folk that normally shit up dead shows like nanoha and madoka, so I guess that set the tone for how people would talk about the series afterwards. In reality it's just kind of a pretty show with some cool ideas that somehow became a magnet for shitposting.

There were really only a handful of dedicated watchers that disliked the latter third of the show.

It wasn't that bad. It's not like people dropped it in droves. The threads were just as active as before and there were still civil discussions. It's not like the first 9 weeks didn't happen. For me personally, even if the end wasn't what I hoped, it was by far the most fun I had watching an anime that year. The great animation and designs, discussing story and background details on /a/, speculating and telling people who best girl is were what made it great. There's no possible way anyone watching now would get all the references and early plot hints that the show was filled with.

Holy shit, where do you people come from?
Do you seriously believe the shit you are spouting?
The only "official" board wide poll done yearly here is to choose the team for the cup.

Anyway, first episode was entertaining. It did fine as an introduction, I hope something good.

Looks fine to me. (She goes to that shop featured in Kuma Miko, I bet. Shimokaze or something.)

If you do that the only anime worth watching last season was Gabriel, everything else did nothing in 10 minutes.

>>155545934
>everything else did nothing in 10 minutes.
Does nobody follow the 3 episode rule anymore?

>>155545964
I do unless it's very clear in the first episode or two that it's not the kind of show I like.

>>155545669
Interviews are the biggest example of bullshit normalfag scams. It tests your ability to lie and be an extrovert.

>>155545964
I normally do but last season I dropped Maid-dragon after 2.
But I don't regret that at all, I didn't enjoy the 1st or 2nd episode and judging from the threads/discussion it didn't change much from that format.

>>155546039
How am I suppossed to get a job then?

>>155546039
What shows do you like? Haremshit? Fujobait? Edgy Gary McSue?

inb4 buzzwords. I'm being ironic here.

Get connections and use it.

>>155546168
study how to do interviews instead of expecting to just walk in and automatically succeed

Shirobako was so good.

So does she work at a modeling agency?

If there's something you must NOT lie about, it's your abilities. Because you make yourself a bigger fish than what you really are, you're gonna get fired as soon as you set foot inside the company.
Otherwise, you can lie here and there and make your stories a little more entertaining or be a bit extravagant about what would be only trivial shit in your life, like that one project that you barely participated in but you say you gave it your all and it taught you new things.

>>155546222
How?
>>155546233
What connections? I'm not in some mafia.
>>155546234
I just want a job, not to talk about my life.

>>155546303
So what is her job then? I don't get it. She works at like an acting gig and you hire her for shit?

>>155546039
The shit part about interviews is you have to guess what brand of bullshit the interviewer likes.
Every piece of conflicting advice pertaining to interviews that could be given has been given.

>>155546399
>How?
The same way you get good at anything, practice. Most people have to do a lot of interviews before they can do decently in them.

>>155546429
It's an agency.
So she did some pictures and a small bio and registered with the agency.
They hold this on record, companies come looking for a model.
They either browse the catalog with her and all the other models or they suggest a model based on what the client wants

>>155546461
So everything is a scam? I guess I'm just gonna play my autismbux card and get myself a job in some of those tard workshops.

>>155546525
That's what I thought.

I lied about what I did for the 18 month period after I graduated from Uni on my CV for the job I have now. Saying that I was NEET would not have looked good. The trick is to say you did something that is difficult for them to verify.

>>155546399
>I just want a job, not to talk about my life.
I actually do alright in interview scenarios because I'm decent at bluffing, but this is one aspect that I really hate about them. I want to work for your company, I will do a good job and I will work hard. What my hobbies are outside of the 9-5 are nobody's business and I fail to see how those sort of questions are relevant to my level of qualification for the job being offered. .

This was all sorts of touching. I wonder what direction this show will take.

>>155546560
Okay, I wasn't sure if you didn't know what an agency was.

Please don't talk about Shitabaka in these threads.

i did not expect to relate to this show on so many levels

>>155546627
I watched it raw and didn't understand what she said.

>>155546734
Ema never ruined anything ever.

You're trying a little too hard to fit in.
