Yeah I think it's having low charm and stealth and playing aggressively.

More than anything else, I am grateful that V3 very deliberately ended the franchise before it could become a gacha

the funniest thing to me about uchikoshi and kodaka is how the moment both writers stopped writing death games entirely they both wrote probably the best things they've ever written

ai's one of the most fun adventure games i've played and it is like kinda weird contrasting how dumb parts of danganronpa are with how much better planned out and explored akudama drive is
IMO it's funny how (akudama) Kodaka dropped the death game format then killed off every single character who wasn't immortal in AD

Anno wrote a good article that explains why he's fully cut any association with Gainax.

If you're getting something out of a show then go ahead and watch IMO.

Presumably that's why Khara wasn't prepared to give them the leeway this time yeah.

I think Mushoku Tensei bothers me because I got called a rape apologist for liking goblin slayer on this forum, and now there's just a thread for MT except the sex pest in that is the main character.
Goblin Slayer was treated unfairly IMO. Do not perpetuate the cycle of violence by doing the same to another show

I thought the early Narou novels were less "deconstructions" of ZnT and more "they told us to stop writing ZnT fanfic so we started making up our own settings"

It's called 'endless 8' because you're supposed to watch each episode 8 times before moving on.

I can imagine some fans being kindof curious what bastardised American Macross is like.

Irony Be My Shield
Jul 29, 2012

There are a bunch of American shows that were shown and extremely popular in Japan. Twin Peaks and 24 are examples that come to mind. The US is an anomaly in that it tends to show less foreign programming than other countries, it's less of an abberation to be into foreign media almost anywhere else

If you like the part of Kaiji where there's an intense back-and-forth mindgame with a cool solution you mostly don't get that in Kakegurui (maybe the Bridge arc?). But if you like the part where some rich idiot gets owned by their arrogance and hoisted by their own petard it still definitely has that. And if you enjoy the insane horny girls then all the better

Also by Fukumoto there's Akagi but you really need to learn mahjong to understand anything that's happening. And read the manga to actually see most of the last arc

Irony Be My Shield

Akagi is a prequel to Ten - The Nice Guy On The Path Of Tenhou. Akagi was first introduced in that.

i like the interview with the yakuza director where he said live events and stuff for the series in japan are all screaming teenaged fangirls, and then he went to one in france and it was nothing but a bunch of insanely jacked dudes in their 40s.

Also the one arc that would be really important from Index is completely repeated in Railgun anyway.

The title is something like 'Walpurgis Turns the Tide', so we could see who the Walpurgis Night girl is this time (like with the ep 3 witch showing up in Rebellion).

I did like Rebellions as an ending but I'm curious to see if Madoka can find another interesting sequel angle.

Apparently they're recasting all the VAs for the Muv Luv anime. I get the logic commercially but it seems sad, feel like the game actors deserve a shot at the anime after voicing the characters for 10+ years.

Misato being 29 makes perfect sense, her whole deal is that she's just as immature as Shinji is and only seems mature to him because hes a stupid teenager. heck, the whole drinking, wanting to get back with a bad boyfriend, being a bad influence on kids deal is like, the perfect encapsulation of 'realizing you're about to turn thirty.'
Yeah, definitely seen more than one person rewatch NGE and be like "Oh I guess I'm Misato now".

Some of the early mecha stuff like Gundam is also very much about how young people are exploited by adults for war purposes. And Japan was using 15-year-olds by the end of WW2 so it's not like Amuro Ray is too out there.

Denji's desires make a lot of sense given his upbringing and I like how they're explored as the series goes on.

Dark Souls is heavily influenced by Berserk so it's not a bad comparison really.

Can't wait to see the thing that manga readers assure me will sink the series (again).

There is a tonne of American TV aired in Japan and indeed in almost every other country in the world. The US is one of the only countries where watching a foreign TV show would be regarded as unusual

I thought the whole reason Khara insisted on a new cast and their own script is that they didn't like the dub for Rebuild 3.0.

"Higurashi" has a reasonable amount of brand recognition/google value tied to it even in the west so it really needs to be included in the title.

'its always sunny in philadelphia' is literally the same kind of ironic title that 'god's blessing on this wonderful world' is.

The Umineko games are subtitled as When They Cry 3 and 4 (with Ciconia being When They Cry 5) so I can see the logic. But yeah the animal is too tied to their recognition to leave it out.
