I can already hear the montage of shocked gasps as each shot is fired.

Slow motion bullet takes about 30 seconds to reach the target during which time we get the inner monologue of every character
“It’s going to miss! But wait, what’s happening? The bullet is bending in midair!!! Look at his incredible pose! Did be put spin on the bullet!? This must be Free To Play Ojiisans’ legendary hidden technique!”

You absolute poet.

Knowing anime they’ll probably find some moronic way to sexualise it.
MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 8 months ago
Glances at the sexual track record olympic villages.
Haha, yeah. So unrealistic and out of place 😅

I’d watch it.

I watched a mahjong anime and it was pretty good.
ThePyroPython@lemmy.world 8 months ago
There’s a Mahjong anime? I must add this to my watch list so I can finally understand how to play.
tiramichu@lemm.ee 8 months ago
Totally. This would be great.
If you want to watch an amazing show that actually exists, try Ping-pong the Animation. Art style takes a but of getting used to but it’s just such an engrossing show.

Looks interesting, thanks!

While I do like dunking on ammosexuals, the reason that the US isn’t at the top of this sport is that the popular pistol shooting sports, in the US, are different. The US shooting sport community is more focused on action shooting styles of competition. Trick shots, speed shooting, target accuracy while moving/on moving targets, in close combat simulations, etc. Also long range rifle marksmanship, and alternative shooting marksmanship like air rifles.
If you look at the history of things like skeet shooting, very long range target shooting, air rifle, and a few other the US does very well.

Only 1 Olympic shooting discipline (skeet) is for an event that’s popular in The US shooting scene.
The US took home half the individual medals in skeet, including the men’s event which ended with the 2 Americans in an overtime shoot-off for gold because they had tied with 1-point shy of an Olympic record (that was held by the eventual winner of the shoot-off). The kid who won silver in the men’s didn’t miss a target in the prelims and was halfway through the finals before his first miss.
If other popular American shooting events like practical multi-gun, cowboy action shooting, and and IDPA shooting were in the Olympics America would probably do much better in shooting. But the firearms used in those events are illegal in enough countries that it would be difficult to have them as an Olympic sport.
To put the different guns into perspective, the slow-paced “long range” precision rifle event in the Olympics is 50 meters. Rapid-fire timed shooting in 3-gun (an event where the shooter is switching between semi-auto rifle, shotgun, and pistol on a firing course) can have targets at 10 times that distance, and precision rifle events in the US have shooters firing over 1,000 yards.

Where is the turkish dude cat though? That was a supper missed opportunity to add toonie characters to a dead serious anime

Great picture!

Better than half the shows airing this season.

Great, now we should start doing some high-quality Persona 5 memes next!
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
That title makes way too much sense to be an anime title, it should be like Revolution Breakfast or Friday Night Jump Package or something.
WalrusDragonOnABike@reddthat.com 8 months ago
Or it should be a whole sentence explaining the basic premise of the show.
Donkter@lemmy.world 8 months ago
“how can he be better at shooting than me? He wears glasses!”
pancakes@sh.itjust.works 8 months ago
That would only work if it’s an isekai. I’m not against the idea of a pistol sports shooting isekai though.

“I went to the Olympics for shooting and now I run an ice cream truck business without a freezer in Midgar”
Even_Adder@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 months ago
That title looks like a typical sports anime title.
I could go on, but I think I’ve made my point.
PapaStevesy@lemmy.world 8 months ago
Have you? Kinda seems like you made my point, but whatevs!
