She was so devoted to her VAing she never really had a chance to date.

She was so sick during the recording of shimoneta her producers had to help carry her to the recording studio and all staff who came in contact with her had to wear masks.

>>43552312
I hope her manager or whoever was supposed to keep her in check gets their ass handed to them.

>>43552244

Working in the anime industry is hell. It's likely she just never had the free time to date, and even if she did you gotta be careful since certain fans will go apeshit when their VAs marry.

>>43552312

It's beautiful and horrible thinking that she pretty much gave her life to make Shimoneta happen.

Given how shitty the anime industry she probably started getting it and didn't take any heed of it to you know, keep up with the hellish schedule that the anime industry has (they make 30 minute time slot episodes a week). I don't know how many shows she was in at once but dieing while being on the drawing side is not unheard of.

Anime trope/real thing. In cartoons, a character gets the cold and they are suddenly deathly ill as opposed to you know, just feeling like shit and having to take a fistful of otc medicine. I think that there may be a weak strain of influenza endemic to japan that accounts for people actually getting pretty ill irl which is compounded by chronic over work.

Ironically the retarded BD prices are because they've made such a niche product that only the hyperdedicated are willing to purchase them.

>>43553339
It turned into a self-perpetuating cycle that they can't really break out of since there's such a stigma against watching anime as an adult, even in Japan.

for real. I mean I know several people in their mid 20s who watch anime, or at least know about anime and don't think anything in particular about it. the only stigma is being one of "those" people that owns tons of dolls and body pillows and spends 95% of his time in a piss-bottle filled room.

but apparently watching anime and being a normal person are mutually exclusive in japan?
>>
>>43553544
You mean otaku? There is stigma against them.
>>
>>43553544
Doing a lot of things and being a "normal person" are mutually exclusive in Japan. As >>43553565 mentions, there's a strong stigma against otaku. To make it board related, it's part of why tabletop gaming isn't as big as it is in Japan: many people say it falls under the "otaku" umbrella, to say nothing of not having a lot of space to play.

Eh docs in the US hand out sick notes as well, though I suppose they aren't straight up required by most places unless you have missed a shit load of work already/are out of sick days.
>>
>>43553813
Most places let you call in sick first and then get a doctors note to excuse it.
Japan expects the note first and then you can call off without getting fired.
>>
>>43553831
Uh...Yeah. And they told me they needed a note from a doctor. Have you never called in sick?
>>
>>43553831
Not him, but the only time I ever did was because I had a temperature of 104f.
Other than that, nope.
>>
>>43553813
Uh, no.
At my old job (call center), you call a specific number to enter your information and confirm you're missing your shift. Then you just email your manager saying "hey I called out today cuz I'm sick."
>>
>>43553699
Declining birthrates is a literal first world problem.
>>
>>43553858
Yeah. You make a call, say that you're sick, and then send a follow up email. If you're missing a lot of work because of it, then you need a doctor's note but anything else is just wasting everyone's time.

The circle represents your max sanity which is based on a formula from a stat of your character. The fact that there are multiple circles indicates that the stat has either been raised or lowered.

The most likely result is lowered, as increasing your knowledge of the old ones presents a hard cap for your maximum sanity.

There's also the fact that in Japan, most houses do not have central air/heating. There's space heaters and the like, but it's gonna get cold when there's no summer. All of that cold air makes it easier to catch a cold, especially if you don't towel off properly.

Having a slightly low body temp because you were wet and got a little cold doesn't actually get you sick. It's definitely a strongly believed old wives tale in Asian countries, but they get so badly sick because of their high density living, low social distance, low air quality, and high stress living, not a lack of central heat.

>>43554472
Am I only thinking this Mage will went full dominatrix on him?

There was a manga about Demon lord living on an island and people kept sending him females as sacrifices and he wanted nothing to do with that but couldn't send them back (since the sacrifices were considered tainted/would've been killed if they returned).

>Kingdoms and villages from around the world send over a thousand sacrificial maidens to the island in an attempt to satisfy the demon lord's legendary lust and protect their lands from the unspeakable destruction he will bring. However, the legends are false; Exoda does not possess such lust, and is not interested in destroying the world. He's quite happy to live in peace and to go fishing on the weekends. The girls on the island are now unable to return to their homelands, as others see them as tainted brides of Satan. This presents many practical problems, from simply feeding the abandoned girls to giving their lives purpose.

Who needs nutrition when you live out of an infinite river of magic? Besides, where magic fails, a horde of minions and Drow super archers does the trick.

Muh peasant simulator! Seriously though there is way too much fun to be had with magic to be bored.
On that note though, anyone here played the warhammer RPG from FFG? I hear you can die from a failed mount horse roll and other fun things like dying of tetanus. I assume it's simmilar to Dark Heresy.

I hope the Demon king is just the Orc's old buddy from college. He stops by on holidays because he doesn't have any other friends.

I can't be the only one who noticed shades of Maoyuu Mao Yuusha in this, right? Hero and Mage have similar appearances to their counterparts. Hero's on a mission to defeat the Demon King (who's probably a woman and very interested in ECONOMICS[/ spoiler]).

dragon quest in general inspired the entire RPG genre in japan. It was a shoddy tabletop system ripped onto a basic sprite map, complete with vancian casting in DQ1, and it created the RPG genre. it was wildly successful, and kept the same everything with new names and supporting cast. what one? any of them! they all share the same fifteen basic plot points and characters, just with different names each time. Any time theres a hero/demon lord, yuusha/maou, its inspired by Dragon Quest.

OK. Take Superman. As an american cultural icon, he symbolises the best and worst tropes of comics. Instantly recognisable, even the old and bitter garbageman who has never touched a comic in his life knows who he is. Change 'Superman' to 'Maou/Yuusha', as well as 'comic' to 'video game' and its instantly recognisable to any japanese person as Dragon Quest. Its a subversion of something universal, which is why the japanese love it. If you say 'what' or equivalent again, Samuel L Jackson will shoot you.
>>43557239
D&D is not 'RPG genre' in CRPG terms. Sure, they might have been earlier, and an inspiration, but DQ popularised the genre and introduced it to the common person

Hell, even Ultima predates DQ1. Ultima 3 is 1983.

>Ultima III is considered by many to have been the first modern CRPG.[18] It was originally published for the Apple II, but was ported to many other platforms and influenced the development of later titles,[21] including such console RPGs as Excalibur (1983) and Dragon Quest (1986).

and were any of these either as popular or as early as DQ? maybe as popular in the west, and more popular amongst the younger generation, sure. What established interest in the genre FIRST? DQ.

Ultima was niche at the time. It influenced the developers, but never became anywhere near as mainstream

DQ?

>>43557254
Superman has specific identity. Maou/Yuusha is generalisation on the level of superhero/supervillain; of which Superman/Lex are not the absolute defining example, they are just one of many popular ones. When you see a superhero, you do not think "referencing Superman", you think of the genre on the whole.

So. Still needs some resemblance with actual characters to count as "influence".

Superman is a shining popular example of superhero, just like DQ is a shining popular example of RPG plot.

But the summarised point is:
>When you see a superhero, you do not think "referencing Superman", you think of the genre on the whole.
So, HOW do the economicsmaou and the shota&witch duo specifically reference DQ aside from simply belonging to the same genre?

Floating coffin was pointed out as a thing, that's legit one thing for one of the contestants.
Any more?

You're on 4chan, but you don't know DQ? I know the first six games flopped in the West, but come on. DQ is kiddie Final Fantasy. Or what happens when Japan gets hold of Wizardry, Ultima, and D&D, and decides to market it to everybody.

its related to the "deadly japanses cold" trope
generally over the counter medicine is very expensive, and going to the doctor (which you would need to take yourself, since no one can/will take you) could possibly be a multiple hour round trip experience, while you're ill, to get a 1 day note, i think the literal maximum you can get even if you're fucking dying is 3 days
since you cant take off without doing alot of work/spending money, people just work through their illnesses instead of try to heal them there
>>
>>43557607

Also the fact that they've lived on a freaking island with next to 0 immigration for thousands of years so the endless inbreeding has left a lot of the Japanese with pretty shitty immune systems. So they don't deal well with illnesses and then work while ill further compounding the problem.

Man, your "yawn magic is so masturbatory and boring" is more paltry and tiresome than his "MAGICK FERK YER".

Like a boring physical power fantasy or a boring low magic struggle fantasy is any better.

The only part that matters is "boring", and that's a complex personal perception that's unrelated to the rest of it. Keep your predictable judgments to yourself.

I'm not the "magic is boring" guy. I'm saying that the way magic is presented and used by the MC of Maou is boring. It's a boring for the same reason that most of the recent wave of LN "Normal person sent to a fantasy world while possessing X ability" is boring. No counter play and no interesting interactions. The MC of Maou just wins by default and the whole story is him just masturbating (literally and figuratively) over how prepared he is for things.
