I want to kiss Touka while tries to get away only to be pushed back down and have my hands run up her sweater and past her bra as she squirms under me.
Brayden Jackson
I want to corner Touka in an alleyway and rip open her blouse to reveal her boogiebra and fondle her boogiebreasts while she looks for a way out.
Jordan Martin

Austin Martin
I want to pin Boogiepop to the bed while her parents are sleeping and tie her hands behind her back. I want to slowly remove her nightgown, the one she has grown out of and is just a bit too small that it shows the uppermost portions of supple thighs. As she shouts out for her parents I want to take that stupid boogiehat and shove it in her boogiemouth so she can only make small whimpering noises.
Landon Cox
Imaginator is so fucking majestic
Matthew Mitchell
Too bad this series won't see April
Gavin Martin
That was a pretty beautiful scene desu.
Carson Smith
I want to massage her panties with my tongue, stroking deeper with each thrust and listen to her soft and panicked noises behind that stupid hat until i hear a soft laugh.
>are you an enemy of the world?
Barely understandable through the stupid hat still stuck in her smug mouth. I stop as her previously tender chunnie thigh muscles grip my head and tongue as i realize that I'm browsing a cantonese turtle carving forum and ill never have a boogiepop gf.
Fugg.

Still weird to me how and they made a high quality teaser that has basically nothing to do with the show
Jaxon Wright
I think one of the staff mentioned that they did it to bait people into watching the show because the show's concept was a hard sell. I can't blame them though seeing as to how atypical it is.
Jason Peterson

tl;dr of the show
Jordan Hernandez
When it comes to the characters, the focus should have been on showing the inner thoughts through animation, but instead, they just say it like pretentious snobs. The “show, don’t tell” approach is barely used so it’s not surprising that you don’t get wooed by its attempts at intellectual babble. They even have them telling the plot which is yet another sign of a poorly written story. Exposition is everything in Boogiepop wa Warawanai that the experience is less entertaining than watching paint dry on a wall. It has interesting elements and concepts but they are executed in such a disorderly manner that they end up feeling like undercooked ideas. It’s bloated with them: Aliens, ‘imaginators’, sterile clones sent to breed with real humans, ‘flowers’ inside of humans, people with the ability to control minds, shady orginizations, etc. Great fiction can blend various ideas and genres but this show feels like someone pulling ideas out of the ass and stuffing it back in without having the thought of laying a proper foundation for the plot.

Honestly, I'm disappointed about this episode. Imaginator arc managed to show results at the end. But KoD is the polar opposite. I don't think they cooked source materials well.
Andrew Ward
No. The wealthy guy loves rock.

there will be second season r-right boogiebros?

Ian Lee
Yes for the 40th or 30th anniversary
Austin Lee
Does she ever become evil?
Jordan Phillips
His power is far more insane than that. He basically forces people to confront their biggest trauma and level up. For normalfags, it just fixes their emotional problems, but for certain people it will force them to evolve like how the kid started manifesting Zooragi. He's like Kirima except he doesn't have to bother writing books to draw out MPLS.
Boogie stopped him because he would have turned everyone in the Moon Temple into gold, potentially awakening numerous metahumans and causing a huge incident. However, the King will always have the possibility of showing up again to make the world shine.
James Sullivan
I really liked this show, didn't really like this last king of distortion arc though, too convoluted / too many characters for my bird brain.
Christian Thompson
No. You can't tell from the anime because they butchered the scene, but all she wanted to tell Boogie is she would like to see her again. That's why the scene in the novel ends with him given her a genuine smile.
Camden Jenkins
Pretty sure Boogie showed up because Zooragi was going out of control
Joshua Price
*to see him again
Josiah Morales

>“Is… is it over?”
>“Yes. There’s no more need for me.”
>“Oh…”
>I considered asking who it had killed, but it didn’t seem like the right time.
>“Farewell,” Boogiepop said, and turned back to the elevator.
>I panicked. I felt like I had to say something else.
>“Um…! Er, well…”
>“What is it?”
>“W-will I see you again?”
>Boogiepop looked rather surprised. “I believe you should be hoping you never see me again.”

>“Mm?”
>“L-Like you said, this world isn’t always good. But…I… I still think… I may not be great, but, but even so, I want the world to revolve around good things. That’s not the way you think, is it? So I might still become your enemy.”
>I wasn’t even sure what I was saying myself.
>“………”
>Boogiepop stared back at me, saying nothing. I met that gaze, and kept on talking.
>“I-If I do become your enemy, will you appear before me again? Is that a way I could meet you?”

>“Nope! Not one bit!” I said, laughing at myself.

No more Boogie. I feel so sad.
Parker Nguyen
Yeah, it was pretty disappointing.
Luke Wood
where the fuck is my season 2/movie announcement
Bentley Flores
I'm retarded, why does Boogiepop end up in that space again?
Isaac Richardson
There are some good/ish quotes here and there, but the show is boring and hard to care about.
Lincoln Clark
You have pretty shit taste.
It's not literal
Adrian Nguyen
Will the KoD ever come back? Will Towa find out about him and have him eliminated?
John Jackson
Sort of. Zooragi was only going to manifest because of the King's influence. If the King had kept going, he would have become an enemy of the world because of that potential to cause others to become enemies of the world. Boogie tells him to reconsider that shit because the King was just acting without a determined purpose and so he goes away.
Joseph Campbell
>I'm retarded, why does Boogiepop end up in that space again?
It was an anime-only scene so don't think about it. It's filler, basically.
Bentley Gutierrez
Zooragi only was a problem because KoD was just born.
Who knows no other novels translated besides Pandora.
Dylan Bell
>boogie Fridays are over
Fuck, there's no other show where I can get my dose of chuunism without it being edgy anymore.

Fuck.
Tyler Butler
I want that fire witch to step on me.
Adrian Morgan
I feel like this show dropped to the level of first 3 episodes again.
Important scenes in the original were skipped or changed to boring ones.
Levi Adams
It tends to happen when anime directors / writers think they know better than the original author.
Kayden Torres
That's wrong there was exactly one big thing that was cut and one that was changed.
Boogie smiling being to Takeda works better. And Inchou not having the reason why Saotome is her KoD is sad but honestly not that important
Luke Perry
Which is essentially the entire point Boogie makes to King, stop fucking with random people because it'll lead to all sorts of havoc when someone with an abnormal potential gets their pain turned into gold.
Gabriel Kelly

Did they even get together in LN? I wonder what sex with Kirima Nagi is like. Is she the dominatrix type or does she go on full lewd ~dere mode?
Nathan Butler
>Boogie smiling being to Takeda works better
That's your opinion. The fact is Sakiko's scene was butchered and doesn't even make sense anymore. Whether you like it or not, it's a fuck up.
Bentley Thomas
>Did they even get together in LN?
He's not old enough.
Isaiah Howard
>not having the reason why Saotome is her KoD
So why was he her KoD?
Isaac Lee
10/10, the animation was nice too
Logan Garcia
Because he said she was cute and had beautiful eyes while no one had said similar "romantic" things to her.
Basically she had to accept that Saotome's feelings for her were similar to her feelings for Takeda
Cooper James
>“I really should have noticed the moment you appeared, in that place, at that time. I mean, that’s when you said the thing that stuck with me.”
>“Something Saotome Masami said?”
>“That’s right. Just an off-handed comment. It went in one ear and out the other and I’d completely forgotten it until now. But—if we go with your way of thinking, that may well be because I wanted that to not be true, because I was trying to preserve my idea of who he was. Maybe I intentionally tried to forget about it.”
>“I see,” The King of Distortion nodded. “You’ve put a lot of thought into this, and it’s very consistent. So far. But what, specifically, did he say?”
>“You said, ‘Do you know how good that feels?’ Right after you’d killed Kirima Nagi. I didn’t want to understand, and I said as much. And when I challenged you, you said it.”
>“Beautiful, president. I love your eyes. I love strong-willed, powerful eyes.”
>I looked right at Saotome Masami’s face.
>“I’ve never gone out with a guy. I don’t hate boys or anything. I just haven’t had the opportunity. So… so in a way, you were my first. The first to ever say anything like that to me. You were the first to say anything in the ballpark of ‘You’re cute!’ ‘I love you!’ Anything like that.”
>“………”
>“But your version was sickening. Given what you were up to, there was no way I could happily accept that. So I did my best not to think about it. But, deep down, I knew.”
>“Knew what?”
>“That you meant it. That you weren’t just mocking me. In that moment, you were definitely in love with me. But to me, that was just terrifying.”
>I sighed.
>“I never wanted to know how unsettling love could be. But…”
>I looked up.
>“But that’s the truth. I accept that your feelings were real, and I reject them completely.”
>This man with Saotome Masami’s face glared at me.
>But then he shrugged, and smiled.
Tyler Bailey
I don't know about further on, but in one of the portions of At Dawn that got cut from the show, she does think of him as an impressive person who solved the Moon Temple incident without help. He's at least got a shot.
Matthew Wright
>solved the Moon Temple incident without help
That's good one. Stupid Nagi.
Owen Wright
Brody Butler
I mean, he got pretty close. If you consider the lockdown of the Moon Temple and the King of Distortion as separate incidents, he got 95% of the way to the end and only had to have someone else enter the code because the King trapped him again. Even as far as the King was concerned, he recognizes the illusion before anyone else and breaks out multiple times without using the easy way out (successfully turning pain to gold) that Niitoki uses.
Kayden Myers
I AM IN LOVE WITH THE CLASS PREZ
Xavier Nelson
>easy way out
What Kei did is not the easy way out. It's the hardest thing to do. To be able to recognize the source of your pain or anxiety and overcome it on your own. It takes a very special person to do that, and Kei is definitely much more impressive a person than Habara. He used his wits to find shorcuts and easy way outs, which is why he doesn't overcome his source of anxiety at the end (e.g: he still doesn't have enough self-confidence to confess to Nagi).
Grayson Walker
I was being a bit facetious in calling that the easy way out. I label it that way because it's the surefire way to get released from the illusion, whereas Habara just wills himself out by directly challenging the "strength" of the illusion's hold.
Ryan Bell
>password is stairway to heaven
>doesn't start blasting Led Zeppelin
DROPPED
Charles Evans
Kei chose the song to please Boogie.
Adam Adams

Adrian Lee
>easy way out (successfully turning pain to gold)
That's not the easy way out. That's the win condition to his life because he'd actually manage to ask out Nagi afterwards
Daniel Turner
>when does 3 come out?
You're going to get a lot of gold out of this
Jason Kelly
never ever
Lucas Hernandez
Filthy gaijins don't deserve translations
Jordan Long
Camden Davis
So that's how the best anime of this season ends, not with a bang but with a pop and unfitting music.
Bentley Stewart
Trust me, I was rooting for him to actually beat the King's game from the first scene in the cafe because of that. This volume was the only one I was dissatisfied with the ending because he failed. Shiro really needs to distort him some more as a service to his friend.
Adrian Gonzalez
I was really disapointed too. I figured that would have been the first then when i seen the password.
Dominic Flores
Adam Davis
Please have sex.
Michael Perry
Kentarou is probably too important to complete his character arc that soon.
Jacob Sanchez
They keep translating 主体 as body. What the fuck is wrong with this translator? They can't be this retarded, dammit.
Robert Collins
>They can't be this retarded
That's a lot of wishful thinking user.
>Intro of Die Meistersinger von Nürnberg
>ever unfitting
Brayden Sullivan
kentarou is sexier in the light novel. why did they make him ugly?
James Taylor
>kentarou is sexier in the light novel.
user what.
I can't even tell which one is him and which one is Shiro
David Green
I'm about to pick the novel from the goddess, but somebody said the files are broken or something, should I just wait for someone to upload the omnibus?
Also why are volume 4 and 5 missing?
Ian Perez
I had to scrunge it together from the goddess and AB.
Justin Young
For the same non-reason they made Tanaka a super-dork instead of normal as well. The character designer has no other credits for character design among a bunch of animation credits and Shingo was apparently asleep at the wheel for most of the project and only woke up to put together a cool preview and the At Dawn section.
Dylan Morgan
But honestly when was the last time you looked at the LN designs?
Because you can't honestly say they are good or atleast distinctive
Juan Carter
I have the 6 volumes. Volumes 1, 2, 4 and 5 are digital releases and look pretty good. 3 and 6 are OCR and don't look so good but it's all we have until someone uploads the digital versions.
In any case, I can upload them to rapidshare or something if you want.
Thomas Thompson
He looks a lot sexier in anime.
Shirou is on the left.
Lincoln Murphy
Shiro is the blond one
Caleb Howard
I just started the novels
Benjamin Sullivan
If you would be so kind.
David Edwards
I looked at it just before that post. I've had the omnibuses sitting next to me the entire time I've been posting today. I like the LN art precisely because the normal people look like normal people. The anime designs are just sort of halfway between livening up the characters to make them distinct and allow their personalities to show and being blandly uninspired. Also, holy fucking shit what was wrong with the faces of so many of the characters in this arc? How did the designs for Kyouichiro get approved?
Jaxon Harris
Shit makes me mad because they couldn't include this due to being skipped on the Manticore arc
Jfc sometimes I hate this adaptation
Josiah Rodriguez
here's what tanaka looks like
Joshua Perry
I am the only one unable to see that image in the episode?
Aaron Cox
I honestly don't see much of a problem with the faces this arc besides maybe Makoto's mother but there I am not sure whether it was intended
Zachary Edwards
I wanted to see the conversation between nagi and kentaro at least. It is heartwarming.
And I was fool enough to believe that "nagi's style" episode from at dawn would be inserted into somewhere in the ending part even a little bit
James Howard
>t. didn't read Akio's chapter
And neither did original character designer.
Isaac Morgan
This is orihata
James Price
I like her more when she's voicing genki characters but her voice as Boogiepop was 10/10 indeed.
Jacob Brown
10/10 would impregnate

Asher Bell
Damn, it's a good thing the Imaginator never found him.
Alexander Martinez
Why do you want your Public Toilet to look nice?
Christopher Young
Imaginator manga bases a lot of its designs on Ogata's drawings which are often contradictory to text descriptions.
Hudson Russell

Brody Edwards
Yes the truth.
Ying-yang scarf is a lie
Josiah Allen
He's right though.
Chase Foster
>Main purpose is to breed with human men
>Make her as ugly as possible so that she can't
Jacob Johnson
orihata is described as hot in the light novel
Cooper Carter
>Main purpose is to breed with human men
Not actually confirmed that she was designed specifically for that mission.
Also she is less ugly in the anime that in LN.
Hunter Edwards
Wait how did she know this is Boogie's song?
Zachary Hernandez
And she's hot in the anime
Connor Johnson
Boogie is always playing or whistling it
Jose Fisher
>manga design
What manga retard? You mean LN right.
Jaxon Robinson
Boogie whistled it when they met before. Now, how the fuck everyone happens to know that song in order to recognize it is another matter entirely.
Adrian Phillips

James Hughes
That's pretty rude user.
Brandon Diaz
She's also one of the most emotionally resilient characters in the franchise.
Angel Williams
So who was the kid's father? Obviously wasn't Teratsuki since he was a synthetic human? Probably not important and his mom was just a slut to not know who knocked her up.
Levi Watson
you misspelled Touka there, user
Jack Jenkins
Boogie/Touka is the cutest
Lucas Carter
She might be cute but Nagi is hot.
Eli Fisher
Why would you lie like that?
Caleb Gutierrez
Well that's pretty obvious, Nagi is handsome and sexy rather than cute.
Lincoln Murphy
I don't want it to be over Yea Forums
Noah Cruz
That childish hairstyle fit her really well.
Ryan Murphy
wrong
Sebastian Young
Yeah but she can't compete with loli nagi

In the novel his mother explicitly said she fucked a ton of dudes. She just wanted to believe Teratsuki was the father, but it could be anyone.

Literally just a random guy.

Is there some problems with the raws?. because in the scene in which Tanaka falls the flashback in which he remembers Naoko is very blurred in the Horriblesubs, and also in the raws.
But in Sakugabooru in the same scene you can see her face much better. They says that is taken from crunchyroll.
What the fuck happened?.

Nolan White
And Others: 3/10, there should be an official apology for how terribly it was butchered
Returns: 6/10, at least it wasn't as bad as the first three episodes
At Dawn: 7/10, too bad the entire project wasn't managed this well but it still lacks the flair necessary to convey the original tone and message of the LNs and they still cut too much content
Overdrive: 6/10, you can really tell which scenes were done by competent staff and which ones were outsourced to the idiots who were used to get And Others out the door
Above average compared to most trash that airs, but a disappointment in terms of what could be done with the material. Even their own troll preview and the best parts of At Dawn and Overdrive show how great it could have been.
Adrian King

Angel Ross
>7.5/10 as an adaption

Julian Martinez
At dawn was 9/10, rest was a solid 7, some parts of vs. Imaginator were 8.
Luke Martinez
This, more or less. Dawn was helped by dropping all at once; I don't think the weekly wait did this show any favours.

Julian Sullivan
On the positive side the anime vastly improved manticore feeding by making it actual eating instead of licking and turning into smoke.
Also that perspective was utterly irrelevant
Isaiah Sanchez
What if he becomes an enemy of humanity
Blake Morales
He totally fits his role as trophy boyfriend.
Henry Johnson
>Also that perspective was utterly irrelevant
Maybe if you're a brainlet
>I'm pretty picky when it comes to girls, but I could tell she had on makeup that subtly made her eyes look bigger. But it was natural makeup, so that the teachers would never notice. It was also obvious that she worked pretty hard at making herself always look cheerful.
>She let out a big puff of smoke. Her manner was the polar opposite from a moment before.
His perspective adds all of the depth to her character because he saw her in ways that none of the others did. This was vital to reinforcing the general theme of human suffering in society and how it is dealt with, ignored, overcome, or alleviated. It turns her from being just an eccentric, nice person into a more realized character whose compassion can be viewed as the real deal. Of course, that tied into a lot of the high school atmosphere stuff that the anime basically failed to capture at all.
The first arc was a garbage adaption. There's just no two ways about it.
Kevin Wood
>>And Others: 3/10, there should be an official apology for how terribly it was butchered
It does feel like the rest of the show was just doing it's best to make up for how bad it was. First impressions are important and it might have had one of the worst first episodes of any anime I've watched.
At least it was acceptable after that and had a few decent episodes.
Sebastian Rivera
i´m honestly glad to hear that. i´m fucking bored and have 3 days off so i figured i give that a watch but the first episode send me into snooze mode pretty hard.
Ian Moore
That was a rather strong last episode in my opinion. I liked the final confrontation more than in the book and KoD creating a world for Takeda and Boogiepop to meet was a nice touch.
Manticore was the only bad arc, and I wish the quality was more consistent throughout, but if that's the price we pay for 18 episodes I can compromise.
Overdrive >= At Dawn >> Imaginator >>> Manticore
Overall 8/10.
Oliver Brooks
Episode 1 was good
It was 2 and 3 that were bad
Dominic Wright
It's worth at least getting to the second arc to see how that does for you. If you don't find that worth it it's probably safe to drop and never think about again.
Caleb Allen

Blake Mitchell

Carter Barnes

Jeremiah Ward
Oliver Watson
I go back and forth on whether acceptable is applicable to any part of the adaption. Even At Dawn cut the entire "present day" Nagi story that tied together the theme of evolving through the next generation and gave some extra epilogue material for Returns and Overdrive. It might have been neat to have her remark about Habara resolving a big incident on his own actually come up before Overdrive for the anime crowd, although it was a thought of hers rather than dialogue so it probably wouldn't have made it into the show even if that story line had.
There were just so many omissions and changes that alter how the material is received that I have a hard time calling it acceptable even if the animation and art improved quite a bit after And Others. One of the things that comes to mind is Spooky E not licking his palms before brainwashing people. It seems like a pointless detail, but in the LNs it really got across just how repulsive and vile he is.

Jack Nelson
Don't give a fuck about OPM.
Landon White
Duly noted.
Dominic Sanders
Boogiepop is good while OPM is shit
Isaac Morris
Since the Murata version of OPM is a big pile of disappointment after the Boros arc, yes, it was immensely worth it. Madhouse didn't add much to my impression of the show besides making me a bit biased since they're my favorite studio and it's slowly pulling itself out of the slump.
Andrew Carter
The show could have been much better animated seeing as to how so many talented animators worked on it but I'm pretty sure the fuckers at Kadokawa did not give them enough time to reach their true potential. The character design kerfuffle couldn't have helped as well.
Jonathan Wood
The obvious potential missed by the lackluster first episode convinced me to order the LNs, so I consider it worth it. I don't think that's really a fair comparison though, because we could easily say that they would have fucked up OPM2 just as hard as they fucked up Boogiepop anyway.
Hopefully, the ultimate effect of this will be to get us some more Boogiepop, whether that be better quality anime or more LN translations. If anything like that happens, then it will be even more worth it. The best we could hope for is an OVA re-do of And Others that isn't total garbage.

Funnily enough, I kind of got that impression from the 2000 anime as well. I've heard it wasn't really all that faithful an adaptation, but in terms of the atmosphere and the way it conveyed that sense of existential angst and feeling of societal "wrongness" in Japan at the time it was brilliant.

We'll be able to see her do a good job as in KoD and morever her turning evil for a short while.
Because this time from first to finish they roughly dealt with the originals, the order dosen't matter anymore. After all, should have focused on only cute or cool characters or gorgeous battles etc, dear madhouse.

It seems like you barely watched the show given much of the meaning and inner thoughts is unsaid. They effectively blend dialog with show don't tell. You just have to keep track of things yourself the show doesn't bother hand holding so speed watchers get confused. The fact you don't see there being a foundation and believing that the story is disjointed when in fact the whole point is that everything is interrelated if you bothered to look speed watchers not included. Plot wise Boogiepop was miles above many shows and doesn't really care if some like you get confused along the way it is subjective of course but they managed to make the seemingly bloated and disparate ideas connected and emotional making something externally look complicated and confusing but internally simple.
1) Real Magic exists alongside technological "magic" (Spirits Boogiepop/Imaginator/KoD vs. Aliens/Clones/Towa Org)
2) Boogiepop fights threats and delivers intelligent counterpoint while lopping heads for real threats.
3) Rinse repeat enjoy.
Juan Gray
The spookie bubble drops truth bombs all the time that either cause existential crises, deep introspection, or precede death.
Carson Carter
Exact opposite for me the show was entertaining and the dialog was often simultaneously intelligent, funny, and serious.
Adam Young
I hate this opinion.
While I didn't like the way some of the story was adapted, it's stupid and pointless to object to every change simply because it's a change. When a story is adapted into an anime it should work as an anime, not just as an animated version of the text.
Juan Cruz
It is called inference. She has been around Boogie long enough to figure that out especially after just missing the action at the theme park where she clearly heard the music play and it's association with Boogiepop
Thomas Reed
Wew that ain't Phantom. What was this for? LN ad?
David Sullivan
No one knew about the video and it was deleted the moment they opened the place up. So Towa wouldn't know there were no records, too many people in the same place to just make them all disappear, everyone had dreams and hallucinations so it would be hard to tell which one saw something real.
Anthony Martin
That was Suema.
Angel Baker
>Real Magic exists alongside technological "magic"
There's no such distinction. There are naturally evolved powers (MPLS) and induced/grown ones (Towa's synthetic humans).
Bentley Powell
The anime was an ads for the live action movie.
Boogiepop was super popular back in its heyday, how the mighty has fallen when its copycat are now more popular.
Ian Ramirez
You do understand that MPLS is just Towa's designation for powers they don't understand while they do understand how they make the synthetic humans which appear as if they have similar abilities but are actually on a different level altogether. (Towa mind control sucks vs. imagine mind control) One relies on altering the mind's electrical signaling and is at best temporary while the other messes with the soul which is also temporary because emotions govern how the soul works and external tampering of either fake magic or real magic never fully works.
Gabriel Jones
Towa is relying on ultra-advanced technology and drugs to induce people with enhanced natural abilities to look like magic. These people can also evolve naturally. There are also just spirits that can pop into existence and come and go that Towa can't create and doesn't understand. Notice how the KoD is not a product of the Towa synths but a random depressed kid and Boogiepop just kinda popped up automatically in response to worldly threats. Imaginator is a ghost that can posses people and doesn't actually have a real body.
Towa just lumps it all together as MLPS because their science can't understand all the spirit stuff going on all the time and it scares them.
Owen Bell
Not to mention wiki spoilers pretty much confirm Towa started off as an organization run by the Witch of Ice vs Witch of Fire but lost its leader and shifted focus. When the witch returns (re-incarnation I presume) they are obviously shocked and stuff happens (when science thinks they made magic and then the real magic comes they get confused)
Alexander Sanchez
>間違ました
Andrew Wood
That's why I used an example of a change that detracts from audience perception of Spooky E rather than less meaningful changes like having him use one phone instead of having a bunch of phones hanging from his belt. Even that is still something that adds to the image of his character though. Anime shouldn't be given a free pass to become an inferior version just because of how much effort it takes to make an anime. If they had done more to build up Spooky E's characterization in other ways such as through directorial tricks to make him more frightening and loathsome, that would be one thing, but they didn't. They just did the bare minimum to get an anime adaption out the door.
The craziest part of the whole thing, to me, is that they showed Spooky E having essentially the same wounds after he zapped himself that they didn't even attempt to show on the Manticore.
Jaxson Gray
>Imaginator is a ghost that can posses people and doesn't actually have a real body
Questionable.
Blake Morales
Yes.
Benjamin Morgan
Towa call people who evolved in the wild MPLS. No one ever refers to this about magic. It's always referred to as evolution.
Jason Jones
>Imaginator is a ghost that can posses people and doesn't actually have a real body
The Imaginator is just Suiko Minahoshi, retard. She managed to linger after death in some sort of ethereal existence due to her power, "strange days."
But that doesn't change the fact all the MPLS are always referred to as evolved humans. It's all about evolution, not magic or any other shit like that.
Samuel Adams
The witches are just ancient evolved humans. Don't read the wiki, retard. It's full of bullshit.
Hunter Myers
You do understand that scientific evolution is genetic and biological. Becoming a spirit as an ethereal existence (heavenly or spiritual) is so far removed from that you can call it evolution but that is just magical evolution not science evolution.
Just because they call it evolution doesn't make it evolution. The fact you have spirits popping into existence pretty much has the setting as fantasy magic enabled.
Zachary Cook
I don't agree - Spooky E looks plenty creepy just by looking creepy.
>Anime shouldn't be given a free pass
No, but critics should be aware of the limitations instead of just bitching that everything doesn't have a movie budget.
There are plenty of reasonable criticisms you can make about the show as an adaptation. "Spooky E could have been creepier" is not one of them. His hear wound was more relevant to his character, but I doubt they could properly convey, "this would have healed pretty fast if he wasn't a fag who picked at it all the fucking time".
Nolan Price
you know evolution doesn't include magical abilities so if it looks like magic, acts like magic, talks like magic, its probably magic. Just because in universe they call them "evolved" doesn't magically make it scientific evolution which is the study of biological genetic driven evolution. The fact you have ancient "evolved" people reoccurring and being considered the same person is strongly towards magic
Charles Wilson
>ou do understand that scientific evolution is genetic and biological.
Kadono uses the term evolution in the same way the X-Men use the word mutant. Trying to apply logic to that is pointless.
>Just because they call it evolution doesn't make it evolution.
Well, if you want to ignore 20+ volumes of main story plus several side stories, you can call it whatever you want. You're a retard though.
Isaac Torres
>evolution doesn't include magical abilities
Not in the real world, because there aren't any magical abilities. If there were there's no reason evolution wouldn't select for them.
Of course MLPS "evolution" is X-men evolution rather than natural selection, but that's not the point.
Xavier Adams
Wow are you so retarded that you take what people say as literal (Evolved != Genetic Evolution). Real magic is something that defies physical laws (popping into and out of existence and conversing on another plane of existence is magic), technological "magic" is just really advanced technology. Boogiepop's host doesn't have abilities people with abilities can be host to spirits and such which is what the recently born thing is about. Towa trying to emulate the unnatural but they can't do things like manipulating souls but can do things like messing with your brain's electrical signals the difference is subtle but very distinct.
Hudson Lopez
Thats why I have yet to watch the last couple episodes!
Joseph Ramirez
You seriously think the x-men are not using reality defying magic (real magic)? Again they call it genetic evolution but it isn't that. It is just magic that they call evolution. Yes fictional stories can use the word evolution and even things like X-men equate it to genetics (for the most part). But that doesn't mean it isn't magic. It is why the distinction between sci-fi and fantasy is very blurry because almost all sci-fi relies on magic. There is a reason why very hard sci-fi exists as a separate grouping where authors try to be as realistic as possible without any reality defying magic of any form.
Joshua Robinson
Boogiepop doesn't have a "host", it's just Touka's super hero name. The synthetic humans' powers are just as physically impossible as anyone else's.
So you're just autistic and think anything that isn't hard science fiction is magic? Okay then.
Caleb Evans
You do understand that there is nothing precluding the existence of both real magical entities in Boogiepop and natural/artificially evolved ability users. Towa organization isn't exactly the definitive source of information and classifying Boogiepop as an MLPS is pretty much just a catch all as Nagi is also one but is wildly different.
Jeremiah Wood
I already miss it
Benjamin Wood
>You seriously think the x-men are not using reality defying magic (real magic)?
It's never defined as magic. It's defined as a mutation. Like-wise, all the super natural stuff in the Boogie franchise is defined as evolution. That's all there is to it. It doesn't have to make sense or be realistic.
Jonathan Foster
Anything that defies the laws of physics is magic. The whole sufficiently advanced technology appears as magic has a very limited scope because nothing in reality can defy the laws of reality.
Very hard sci-fi is far from fantasy and tries very hard to stay realistic. (Expect no FTL travel or nanomachine son kind of stuff)
Hard sci-fi tries relatively hard to be realistic. (Uses the most fringe research)
Sci-fi is just fantasy with a modern coat of paint.
Fantasy is just associated with pre-modern coats of paint.
Sci-fi/Fantasy is easily possible mixing both. Japan loves that type especially.
Noah Young
It's not just Towa. Independent characters (not working for Towa) who are in the know, as well the narration itself, refers to it as evolution. And not just in the main series, but also in the spinoffs.
Asher Anderson
>Anything that defies the laws of physics is magic
That depends on the author. If the author doesn't define it as magic, it's not magic.
Jayden Ortiz
>Anything that defies the laws of physics is magic
Which, in-universe, it does not.
Jason Butler
Which is why it is magic when your not being realistic. You can define anything you want but objectively it is still just magic. You can have magical mutations, supernatural evolution driven by magic. Human transmutation, so on and so forth are in the same vein.
You to think that because the author calls it evolution it is evolution proper. X-men's evolution isn't real evolution no one thinks that unless they are a retard. I never said the author doesn't call it evolution just that it isn't genetic evolution but magical evolution.
Liam Flores
Laws of physics don't exist if you have in universe magic so you can't do that. Laws only exist as observations things that cannot be broken from within with magic anything goes and there are no physical laws. This is why it is called magic.
Oliver Martinez
You're not supposed to interpret what happens in fiction through a "real life" filter. That breaks the immersion, dude. You're supposed to buy into the conventions and mechanics defined by the author inside the story, in order to really get into it.
You don't know how to read fiction, user.
Jose Nguyen
It is like movie physics there are no rules which makes it a very common use of magic most people willingly ignore because of the rule of cool something that regularly violates physical laws because it looks cooler that way. It isn't bad but it is delusional to think it isn't magic.
Samuel Perez
>just bitching that everything doesn't have a movie budget.
I haven't once mentioned budgets. This series is a clear instance where mismanagement has led to a deeply flawed production. I doubt the staff on the ground were the ones to decide that 99% of mentions of sex had to be sanitized, so corporate interference would appear to be a likely factor in rushing the production as well. There were obviously some talented people involved in the project at various times considering some of the individual scenes look amazing, but then we have trash like the third episode or the laughable background models when passed out people are shown in the Moon Temple.
That could have been easily conveyed by showing it regenerate just a bit only to have him scrape away the flesh again.

>You to think that because the author calls it evolution it is evolution proper
No one thinks that you retard. We think that's the correct term for it because that's the one the story uses, not because it accurately corresponds to real biological evolution.
Again, by your definition none of the powers are scientific and it's all magic, so your initial statement was still wrong.
Andrew Young
>You to think that because the author calls it evolution it is evolution proper
It is evolution inside the story he created. It doesn't have to be consistent with the real-life concept of evolution. Each story has its own rules, its own internal logic.
Ian Howard
No, no matter what you interpret everything through a real life filter your whole mind is a real life filter. It is physically impossible to actually watch something forming memories and opinion without thinking about it. (Real Magic would be required to do that)
Buying into conventions and mechanics defined by the author including re-purposing words involves the willing suspension of disbelief (things that don't match what you would expect). Boogiepop has me fully suspended of disbelief but that doesn't mean I don't classify the term evolution/mutant in Boogiepop as magically driven which means the rules are far more flexible. If you had a hard sci-fi with the same "evolution" happening I would not suspend disbelief for long and would call it a dumpster fire of a "hard sci-fi".
Joseph Perez
You like to think that because you call it magic, it's magic. You can't define anything you want objectively because there is no objective definition of magic.
Carter Mitchell
Some autists turned the thread into shit. So I think we are better off without another one.

Edit of pic related with boogie when?
Connor Baker
Not true some of the abilities involve electric manipulation or vibration based powers. Many of the synthetic humans are like this. These are easily loosely science based. Just look at my earliest posts I was saying that both exist in Boogiepop's universe and it is dumb to say that only one or the other exists. In my view natural/artificial/magical "evolved" people exist. Its good in my books and japan loves doing that kind of stuff so it makes sense.

Sure, but that's what you have to do if you want to see what the author wanted you to see. If you try to fit everything into your "real life" box, you're just gonna get confused because the internal rules and logic of the story don't perfectly match up to real life logic.

If it breaks the laws of physics it is magic. This is an objective test based on real world science. This is why "movie physics" exists and other common tropes related to being unrealistic. Doesn't mean it is bad it just means it is using magic and different expectations exist when magic is being used. That is why suddenly reality ensued exists which can cause viewer backlash when movie physics magic is always in play and randomly out of the blue the author decides to use real world physics instead for just a moment arbitrarily. It just creates expectations it isn't like magic is bad in fiction.
Jaxson Lewis
>some of the abilities involve electric manipulation or vibration based powers
Spooky's mind control makes no more physical sense than ghosts do. Using the word "electricity" doesn't make it scientifically accurate any more than using "evolution" does.
Luis Morgan
>autistic semantic arguments over whether or not something is "magic" in a fictional work
I hope you realize how useless this debate is. We're like a step away from someone pulling out a dictionary to "prove" their point (hell, it might've happened by the time I finish writing this). No one is going to agree when you're fighting over the definitions of terminology like this.
Anyways, back to the original point, I'm pretty sure was simply trying to imply that Towa's efforts of induced evolution are in some way "lesser" or more restrained that naturally evolved humans in terms of their capabilities. That's it. "magic" or not, it appears that the MPLS have more fantastical abilities than their synthetic counterparts.

That is merely your opinion on how magic should be defined.
Luke Cook
>you interpret everything through a real life filter
Completely backwards. You interpret real life through your mental models, which need not relate well to real life at all. Which is why people believe all sorts of crazy shit.
Parker Reed
>it appears that the MPLS have more fantastical abilities than their synthetic counterparts.
Okay, this can be an interesting topic.
Something that stood out to me if how evolution is sometimes referred to as "possibility" in Boogiepop. It's like the author is trying to say that everyone has the potential for evolution, a possibility, but not everyone is capable of awaking it and turning the possibility into evolution. That might be the reason why the powers that are born in the wild seem more "fantastical." Those powers are the product of really strong emotions and will power. MPLS are the people who managed to awaken the possibilities inside themselves, after all.
Synthetic humans, on the other hand, don't have that will power and emotions. Their powers are just the result of Towa's shenanigans.
Tyler Howard
Boogiepop clearly has tech magic (drugs, genetic engineering, aliens,...) and magic magic (spirits, ghosts, souls, ...) what I first started off with and it is all good to me. There is nothing prohibiting the use of speculative science and just actual magic that defies all logic. Arguably mixing the two is interesting to me and it is only confusing when real world people think that they are mutually exclusive in a fictional work.
We can use transcranial magnetic stimulation to crudely enhance or suppress parts of people's minds, multiple viruses, parasites are know to effect brain processes physically. Electrical production of energy is easy in biological creatures (electric eels) and the human brain runs on minute signals so is easily disturbed by electrical impulses. Speculatively you could brain wash someone by zapping their brain in just the right way. It isn't perfect or permanent as shown in the show so is technically plausible. Compare that to the flower soul editing which has no analog other than magical soul sight.
Yes you get the point. The rest are retarded.
Anyone can make a definition coupled with an objective test. I didn't say that it was authoritative but it is easily re-used because it relies on objective criteria that is not subjective.
Your mental models are physical and based in reality. Nothing you think is not actually happening in your fleshy meat sack brain. You have to run everything through a real life filter because your entire brain is doing that regardless of what your conscious mind is doing. Being crazy, delusional, ... is physically possible it is just their real life filters are all over the place. Motion sickness can result when fictional works move in impossible ways this is a real life filter that cinematographers try to avoid for the most part. But motion/facial cues can signal your subconscious to prime your conscious mind.

I resent we didn't get to see Imaginator pantsu in the series proper. The PV lied to me. Pantsu was a lie.
William Roberts
Give it a rest already. If you want to call everything you can't understand magic, be my guest. Just know it's a pretty retarded thing to do.
Asher Green
Wow how long did that take to get on the right page. The strong emotions and will power MLPS style evolution results in pretty fantastical powers. While synthetic humans are basically sci-fi mutants that Towa made. Heck Towa/Author even makes the distinction between synthetic humans and MLPS likely people.
Gabriel Hill
Well at least we get to see this
Cooper Green
The laws of physics are hopefully something more than one person can understand. Sadly it seems like too many retards exist. Clearly some posters can make the distinction correctly.
Leo Cruz
Your understanding of the laws of physics is based on subjective experience, not objective criteria.
The entire point of the use of the term evolution has nothing to do with genetics and everything to do with the theory of natural selection because the Towa system is trying to prevent the elimination of current humans by new humans. You are arguing about retarded shit for no reason just to sound smart when you are in fact dumb.
Robert Carter
What was King of Distortions power exCtly? It was kinda confusing.
Jason Mitchell
Towa's synthetic humans are built for various tasks. And I think the novel that didn't make it into the anime suggested that all the ones we saw were relatively low level. Though whether that means less fantastic powers or not is unclear.
Regardless, Towa wouldn't use a synthetic human that could do dangerous shit they couldn't control and would dispose of them. Fear Ghoul was synthetic (drug-induced) too.
I don't think there's supposed to be any distinction.
Jaxon James
Wow you actually believe the laws of physics are a subjective experience do you even know what they are? Things like the conservation of mass/energy/entropy they give zero fucks about your subjective experience they just happen because that is how reality works (hence law of physics). It is the basis of science and objective study. You must be of the camp of an explosion is relatively harmless.
Luis Butler
>Your mental models are physical and based in reality
If that were relevant you wouldn't be able to imagine non-reality. The fact that mental models don't correspond to reality is precisely why science is difficult and requires careful experimentation to eliminate bias.
Aiden Clark
I guess that makes sense too. It's expected that something that was born in the wild is gonna be more messy and unpredictable that the synthetic equivalent, simply because the latter was designed with a purpose in mind.
Gavin Brown
>It is the basis of science and objective study.
Your entire experience of that study is subjective. All of the confirmatory data is nothing more than a subjective experience. Fundamentally, it is impossible to prove objective existence and "science" is based entirely on inference of apparently stable subjective experiences. Stop trying to sound smart by repeating shit you learned in high school science textbooks.
Sebastian James
Retards.
Xavier Lewis
I don't know if they are "designed". I'd guess Towa isn't capable of that. But they would dispose of any they couldn't easily control or understand.

Hudson Myers
I think synthetic humans are artificially evolved by towa from birth while MLPS include people that suddenly awaken due to some effect with usually extremely fantastical abilities while other are born with some ability naturally evolving. MLPS to me is a catch all for anything Towa doesn't understand or control. While Synthetic humans are something they have a direct hand in creating they have quantity but lack the quality and variety of the gamut of MLPS individuals.
Grayson Perry
Like I said before, the use of the word "possibility" suggests all humans have the potential for "evolution." It's just that only a few manage to awaken it or are born in an awakened state.
I don't think too much about the variety of abilities or how fantastic some of them are. I mean, even in X-Men, my go-to comparison for Boogiepop, there all sorts of different powers an abilities. Some of them are simple shit like limited telepathy and such, while others are god-like powers that can alter the very fabric of reality. That same happens in the Boogiepop franchise.
