What are the bes anime or visual novels I can experience from shoujo culture? By best in anime I mean stuff that has the same feel as visual novels in their sheer emotional and storytelling power. Otomege recs are fine too, I'm unfamiliar with them. Non specifically shojou stuff but with shoujo adjacent artstyles or elements like Code Geass or Mawaru Penguindrum is very much appreciated too.
Have a large amount of images I've needed done for years now but I keep forgetting to come back here every year or so. Might dump some at a slow rate again in a month or so span to see what all gets tackled since the last one I posted had a small chunk done surprisingly
for this one requesting every single one cropped out as their own image, if possible fill in whatever got covered up by the other bust shots
Can anyone help me track down this source and website? I think it was an old Capcom website but entirely in Japanese. It included lots of concept art and also included the front and back covers of the original PS2 game. I would love to find the website that housed these images.
I'm looking for recommendations for manga, LN or even WN romcom/drama where the protagonist starts off crushing on a girl who herself has a crush on another guy. He doesn't need to actually end up with the initial crush, some other female character also works.
More importantly, I want the protagonist to start off as somewhat of a loser, but over time grow into a reliable man, with progress being gradual rather then overnight.
Seemingly well adjusted who occupy positions of authority falling into abusive relationships that aren't necessarily romantic. No outright porn because I want the focus to be mainly on the psychology and shifting power dynamics and less on NTR chads fucking stacy into ahegao. I do get off to this stuff tho
The initial fuckups that spiral are the main thing for me. These women make early mistakes in the name of either diffusing a difficult situation that demonstrate a lack of firm boundaries, self respect, or courage that lead the antagonists viewing them as a potential target. It could be something as simple as the woman making self depreciating jokes or telling embarrassing stories about herself to make a new coworker/employee feel at ease and the newb seizing on the jokes, or more precisely their underlying truths to bully her >I want to be liked more than respected Or it could be something more extreme like a female police officer disarming herself for the sake of appeasing a dangerous individual >I'm not willing to use force to defend myself The second key is that even after these initial fuckups give way to prolonged abuse the woman still has the power to end things but chooses not to. >My coworker is a such bitch but I don't want to get her fired >A criminal tried to or is actively fucking/threatening me but he seems like he's trying to get his life back on track. also it would look bad if I reported this >my student is giving me a hard time but I really want him to succeed so I'll overlook his disrespect and repeated crossing of boundaries The common theme here is a lack of self worth and excessive of empathy causing women to accept abuse despite initially favorable power dynamics. Attempts at fighting back are generally feeble and mainly consist of trying to appeal to their abuser's better nature.
I'm hoping someone could rip the Cortana model from Halo 2 (vanilla, not anniversary) in a format that I can easily import into Blender (ideally a .blender would be best, but fbx or similar would be okay, too). I'm not asking anyone to rig it or anything, since I can sort out that stuff. Just the model and its textures would be enough.
I was looking into a guide for Onimusha, I found an old GameFaq guide with some very old links to some 2001 website -> https://members.tripod.com/fox_fox/ I've been having fun looking at the cringey art and user descriptions in there. Anyone have some links to similar abandoned websites from the early 2000?
