I'm surprised that The Nonary Games isn't getting a Switch port, or did I miss an announcement

get Sweet Fuse on there too. and also House in Fata Morgana and SteinsHeadChildGateZero and some Key poo poo probably

also that stereotype about anime isn't true, it's the opposite. it's just that the exceptions are really glaring. i keep tabs on each new seasons' animes and out of like 70-80 series you get maybe one that's WHAT THE gently caress and all you have to do to avoid that is just look up any review capsule of the ongoing season

(also out of like 70-80 series maybe five out of all of them is actually any good, so there's that too. just wait for the post-season recs)

Only one out of 80 animes feature weird sexual undertones and/or young looking characters with fanservicey stuff thrown in?

I enjoy quality anime as much as the next goon but I feel like that number is overly optimistic

oh wait no, its also really creepy and bad when its done in that book/on the show too and most of the forum discussions on game of thrones are about how its bad so... It also has nothing to do with the Switch, video games or XC2.

i wanna make sure i'm not lumped in with a bad crowd here, what I'm saying is that one out of 80 animes is "main character wants to gently caress his sister and gathers people together to celebrate his fetish" which is loving awful and everyone agrees its awful. and as for the other series, there are sites like anime feminist or josei next door that tell you the problematic content of each series so you can make an informed decision, and it's usually pretty easy because they do season roundups and collect it all together. it's really easy to NOT run headlong into garbage unless you're just spinning an anime roulette wheel.

I know we're on a derail right now but the worst thing about anime currently and why i'm not super into it right now is that a lot of series are based on light novels and every season seems to bring out six or seven different takes on "a nerd gets pulled into an MMO!!!" I don't get very enthused by reading the synopses and I'm mostly just waiting for more Masaki Yuasa stuff to come over to america. the only 2017 series i've watched at this point in time is magical circle guru-guru which is basically a silly jrpg parody cartoon.

bringing that over to games chat, JRPGs don't necessarily have the same kind of trend-chasing, but it is rare to see one that doesn't rely on archetypes and Xenoblade 2 looks chock full of them, whereas X1/XCX had interesting settings at least. when the fuckin island talked to the protag in the xeno2 trailer my brain shut off

It's easy. Full roster of CAWs, each with loads of custom uploaded images for face, tattoos, logos. Then run them all through the various game modes where they have tracked W/L records, title wins, rivalries, friendships, their standings with The Authority.

Hard to believe unless those custom images are really really big. The rest of that basically amounts to text. Does anyone have a link to a 5GB json file so I can see how many characters that would end up being haha

those sites are pretty bad, they aren't very well-informed at all and they love to make dumb hot takes based off literally nothing. I commented on animefeminist saying that Tales of Zestiria anime had a female demographic and pointing out a couple of anime they said were pretty much exclusively aimed at and enjoyed by guys had a huge female fanbase and my comment got deleted after I got yelled at, lol.

the character designs in xbc2 are kind of dumb but it's weird to make hot takes about entire genres or groups of people just because you don't like a couple of things, or to act like bayonetta is the only video game to ever do sexuality well.

I dunno, I generally find them pretty useful, especially in regards to content warnings so I know what to beware, and also getting a sense of whether a show would be in my wheelhouse or not. I much prefer it to THEM or AnimeNewsNetwork's season guide which at this point I read just to :chloe: at theron martin's reviews

I used to read anime stuff on The Mary Sue but at some point it just became "Utena rules!!" over and over. which, yeah Utena rules but theres more to life. there's more to life!!! than utena!!

i mean its not hard to be better than ann, which at one point featured a review where somebody said a lesbian should get together with her male cousin because that would do wonderful things for her character. and i guess they might be useful just for basic content warnings or whatever but i cant imagine looking to them for any kind of useful analysis of anything. and I think you can imagine most content warnings just from looking at a show's synopsis.

also watch euphonium season 2.

I simply want to add that loading Bayo2 for the first time on the Wii U for someone who grew up with super censorship console war Nintendo of the 80s was loving unreal. A Sega made game on a Nintendo system featuring about as much violence and nudity as a game can do. You try to go back in time and tell someone that was going to happen they would have died laughing.

i haven't seen the first euphonium yet. the anime i just finished was Kaiji which I actually recommend to anyone reading this thread because it's a cool combination of gambling and deathgame gimmicks, with over the top hot blooded narration, and everyone cries all the time, but Kaiji never gives up!!! (there's also nothing objectionable in it whatsoever)

a Kaiji game would be pretty loving rad actually. (on the switch)

then watch euphonium season 1.

also mmo junkie is airing this season so its not done yet but its a cute show about adult characters with fairly relatable issues 'n all.

also a kaiji game would be good only if you had to hold one of the joycons up to your ear to simulate a drill being placed against your eardrum
