You know it's kinda weird how high fantasy is very common in modern anime and manga while in western animation and comics its fairly rare all things considered. What is your take on this /co/?
>>139627655I don't know much about anime, but was it always big? some of the 90s-2000s stuff I've seen seems to be more sci-fi focused. if that is the case then perhaps something caused it to shift in popularity.
>>139636824I mean fantasy has always exist relevant in anime and Japanese media, see dragon quest for example, though in recent years it has blown up in popularity. Thanks to the sudden spike of Isekai series however fantasy has exploded in popularity and became the main gene. This is due to the fact that it's fairly easy to implement both harem elements and self insert into a fantasy series.
>>139636006Sorry Asami. She's only for Lance.
Keith's Mom is hot.
>>139636824low fantasy is way more popular in japansomething like 90% of all fantasy is actually "guy in our world is stuck in the secondary world"off the top of my head, theres the more dieselpunk-ish fullmetal alchemist which takes place entirely within a fantasy worldbut thats more of an exception compared to isekai
In the months leading up to Wizard Magazine firing the remainder of their 90s-era staff and reformatting into a (shitty) "geek themed pop culture magazine", they published at least one final memorable article, and arguably their most talked about article in the magazine's entire history: A top 100 list of their favorite single-issue comic book stories of the modern era.The list was overall higher quality than most other similarly themed lists, but what was really memorable about it was how Wizard gave a grand total of zero fucks about what anyone else thought about their tastes in comics. For every critically acclaimed issue, there were even more that came right out of left field. The end result was probably the single least predictable list of best comics ever assembled by professionals.A few years ago an anon thought the list was interesting enough to attempt to storytime the whole thing on /co/, but gave up pretty quickly. After finding those storytimes in an archive, I got the idea to try what that poster never finished: Storytiming all of Wizard's list, 1 issue per day, for 100 days. This is day 43.Yesterday we read arguably the best issue of John Byrne's solo title for The Thing, which ran concurrent to his classic run on Fantastic Four. YOU CAN READ IT AND EVERY OTHER ISSUE SO FAR IN THE LINKS THAT ARE IN THE NEXT 2 POSTS.Today we're reading one of the high points of what I personally consider one of the most underrated Marvel runs of all time: Roger Stern's Doctor Strange. As far as I'm concerned this is up there with the best of Shooter-era Marvel and I don't know why I don't see it talked about more often. Stern was arguably the only person since Lee and Ditko to capture the same tone, nailing down the mystical mumbo jumbo and really getting the series particular portrayal of magical bullshit. Plus this issue has drop dead gorgeous artwork by Paul Smith.Anyway, let's get on with it. This is Wizard's #58 pick: Doctor Strange #56 (1974 series).

Seth Rogan’s new series.
>>139627820He's getting a series too?
>>139634973Where have you been?
>>139634510Yes. It’s only 8 bucks. Chump change.
>>139627820New cartoons can't be as good as old cartoons since they're all no effort/bottom budget crap.
>>139636229Too bad
>100% sweet, sincere, not a manipulative bone in his body>shows the capacity to bravely speak out for what he believes in, even when doing so greatly disadvantages him.It's crazy how similar he ISN'T to Bonnie.
I have a batshit theory but hear me outSince this all takes place in Simon's mind, maybe Gumball is supposed to be a reflection of the ideal healthy partner that he thinks Marceline (or in this case Marshall Lee) deserves
>Gay men are nice chads>L*sbians are abusive cuntsA tale as old as time
>>139636883It's sad that statistically, this is actually true. Lesbian relationships ice stupidly high domestic abuse cases. Someone as sweethearted as Marceline doesn't deserve to be stuck with Bonnibitch
>>139636947>>139636849I don't understand the shippers at all. Merceline and Bonnie have zero chemistry, zero values in common, zero interests in common.That one episode where Marceline and LSP trashed breakfast princess's place, the two of them had more chemistry in that single episode than marceline and PB had the entire series.
>>139636780The obsession is in the baking, He has an entire imaginary world to micromanage
Have any of you read Ultra Mega? Read it today and it might be a new favorite comic. Really fun stuff

Legitimately the worst Futurama season with the worst episodes of all time. Even worse than anything the Comedy Central run could muster >All of the characters except Bender sound old, which makes sense because the VAs are in their 60s and 70s >No witty commentary, there’s barley any jokes. It’s just characters describing stuff word for word >Added a regular time machine, which defeats the purpose of Fry even being in the future since he can’t go home >An entire episode about the characters turning into parodies of real toys all while having a subplot about Leela cucking Fry >Fry isn’t the only one who’s cucked, Hermes is as well>Didn’t give “Covid-19” a futuristic pun name, straight up just calls it Covid-19 even though it takes place in 3023>LOL ONLINE STORES BAD>Animation has downgraded significantly, almost feels rigged rather than hand-drawn like the previous seasons >While Futurama always did parodies of stuff from the 20th and 21st century but with a future twist. It’s not nearly as creative anymore. Like Covid-19, they aren’t even given new names to go by The only thing I’m surprised by is that they didn’t make a Trump joke like Nu-maniacs did. Overall, a pile of shit. Not worth anybody’s time.
>>139636994I've seen plenty of people say Meanwhile was a perfect way to end the show years before this Hulu revival was even a thought
>>139634895It actually wasn't that bad, the only people saying it was completely shit were angry contrarians like OP. Actual discussion in the threads when episodes were realised was a lot more genuine and you'd see actual discussion of the episode's quality. The general consensus is most episodes ranged from okay to good, with a couple being pretty bad (covid episode while not as terrible as it could have been was still all over the place and the potentially interesting Voodoo plotline was bogged down with more Hermes cucking) and the Space Prince episode which used more cheap cucking drama to make a really weird anthology episode with stories that weren't very interesting. Overall, did the season need to exist? Not really at all, but is it irredeemable? No, I'd say there is some good in it and some of the plotlines that's been explored feel worth it (Amy and Kiff's family, Fry and Leela moving in together). I don't think I'd want another season after this current one finishes (I believe it's halfway through with a mid season break) simply because of how strained Billy West's voice is and I don't want this to end up another Julie Kavner situation. Let Futurama finish.
>>139637189> Julie Kavner Who? What?
>>139637243Another Groening show infamous for going on too long
>>139637265Well, whatever. Futurama will never ne finished.
doesn't matter what race, just post it. avoid white to black if you can, it's pretty boring

I kind of like their new voices.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BKYJ5AIOU9I
>>139630705Wow based fpbp
>>139630690When he yells: WHO WANTS TO TRY RICK'S FAMOUS SPAGHETTI? - I almost threw up in my mouth. This is disgusting. Give me my annoying hebe back.
>>139636604WHO'S READY FOR RICK'S FAMOUS SPAGHETTI?holy shit. i can't stop listening to it and wanting to die
>>139630690What is the point of Space Beth still being around? She barely adds anything to the show, besides the selfcest episode. Just so Beth's VA can get a bigger paycheck?
>>139630705i stopped caring about this show halfway through season 2.
back and a hot teen now.Others may hate it, but I like it when they age up the kids to coom worthy.Read Birds of Prey
>>139632636What’s wrong with that?Just more for us to coom
Show more pics of adult Sin!
>>139628984Oh god, she looks fucking disgusting now. She looks like a dyke. Just revolting.Looks exactly like Harper Row.
>>139633570There is nothing hot about that sideshaved bulldyke. I would make that haircut punishable by death if I could. Sin used to be at least good pedobait. Now she's trash.
>>139636970>>139637067Ya’ll are gay.
I thought /co/ hated lesbians?Why everyone ships these two then?
>>139634768Really bad ESL to the point of being incomprehensible or is there supposed to be more to this?
>>139636024Most if not all straight male characters in modern cartoons are getting cucked or being left alone. This has led some self inserters to start self inserting as lesbians to vicariously live through cartoon romances. They don’t care if the character they’re self inserting as is a girl. Anons like the Sashanne spammer, Bubbline fags, and Lumity shippers are examples of this.
>>139636192It's part of a whole series
>>139632933I honestly thought the movie was fairly charmingThe stuff away from Ruby's disgusting social circle at least
