[potent schooner]

You ever been to a random arcade?

[red magnet]

DEJA VU I HAVE BEEN IN THIS PLACE BEFORE

[slender skiff]

You've definitely heard the OPs yeah

Either Deja Vu or Running in the 90s

[potent schooner]

Do ya like… my caaaah.

[thorn briar]

I only heard about Initial D from here , I always mixed the name with ID: invaded anime

That was a great anime

[flat cedar]

Thighza ep 3 out

[ivory mauve]

Nah, rereading

[silver robin]

[ivory mauve]

[zinc lance]

why do i want the girl with the paintings on her cheeks to punish me

[ivory mauve]

Bruh

Pitohui is a no no

[solemn pollen]

should I start fate or sao

[ivory mauve]

Oh god

[faint crag]

Fate is actually good, so

[silver robin]

sao is in the top 50th percentile of anime

probably even higher honestly

[solemn pollen]

is that I high bar to clear

[slender skiff]

it's literally the middle bar

that's what 50th percentile means

[solemn pollen]

so SAO is by diffinition mid

[slender skiff]

[thorn briar]

Yes sao is mid

And fate is better

[slender skiff]

depends on WHICH parts of fate

[thorn briar]

Heaven's feel and babylonia

[quaint patrol]

wasnt the S3 of sao supposed to be good

[slender skiff]

the best SAO has to offer

i'd say the starting alicization arcs are only matched by the original aincrad arc

[quaint patrol]

i followed alice through to about ep 22, and stopped there

did it fall off after or what

[slender skiff]

it falls off the moment ||Eugeo dies||

actually

for some people it gets better cos lmao Kirito becomes AFK

[quaint patrol]

lmao who's the functional MC at that point

[silver robin]

I think sao is above mid

its def between like 25-40 percentiles for me

[faint crag]

Every season is supposed to be good and then they make it bad

[silver robin]

Guys unital ring will turn it around trust

[slender skiff]

it's not been

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

alice

[quaint patrol]

wtf i might watch it again

[slender skiff]

unital ring is about

[faint crag]

S3 of sao was absolutely unbearable since there was legit more episodes of characters in real world having the most boring discussions imaginable, then there were episodes in virtual world

[silver robin]

How many unital ring volumes are there currently

Like 6 or something right

[slender skiff]

maybe as good as alicization war of the underworld

res, you dropped it before it got good clearly

[silver robin]

I agree episode 1 didn't need to be 1 hour long

[faint crag]

And these shitty episodes had even worse directing than original sao that already had too many "characters sit in cafe and camera just kinda switch between them" scenes that take too long

[faint crag]

Sao anime stopped being good after original sao arc, so if anything I dropped it way way after

[silver robin]

Pog I'm right

[slender skiff]

reki just

isn't a good writer

[silver robin]

Yes

As evidenced by one of his failed series

[slender skiff]

he is wildly inconsistent

one

[silver robin]

That is literally about this or something lol

[faint crag]

Reki is a decent author
The issues with sao anime is how it's directed

This is not a "it sucks cos original sucked" situation

Anime sucks purely on its own merit

[silver robin]

Well it doesn't help that all of aincrad is a 600 page 1 volume ln

[slender skiff]

no it had ufotable to carry

fucking hell

[silver robin]

Or something like that

[slender skiff]

on a COMPLETELY unrelated side note

https://twitter.com/Kihara_Sensei/status/1679590455812521986?s=19

Bersi (@Kihara_Sensei)

Square Enix has implicitly announced that Toaru Majutsu no Index: New Testament will be animated.

In the trailer, they show that they will adapt "a part of the novel that has not yet been announced for anime adaptation."

[silver robin]

I remember it being very thicc book

[slender skiff]

[silver robin]

Holy shit finally index anime where the focus is on touma

[slender skiff]

to be fair, there is a LOT of left unadapted in OT

thanks to the rushed s3

[faint crag]

Pog
I hope they'll cram even more story into 1 cour

[silver robin]

i dropped s3

[slender skiff]

MISAKI ARC LET'S GOOO

then segue into othinus

and ditch the series for good

[faint crag]

Btw does index have official translation

[slender skiff]

uhh

yes

[faint crag]

Is it complete?

[slender skiff]

but only for OT

lmfao

that's the reason OT is nuked off baka tsuki

[faint crag]

Cos I just realized I was reading fan tls and maybe official will feel better

[slender skiff]

fully completed TL for OT as of 2020

NT and GT are untouched

[faint crag]

Cos writing in fan tls felt a bit rough

[faint crag]

But I'm unsure if that's tl issue or writer issue

I might give it a try after Arifureta then

[slender skiff]

it is fully translated

both the main series and zero

though i haven't touched zero personally

[faint crag]

I shouldn't be that far from finishing OT tbh

[slender skiff]

famous last words

[silver robin]

Holy shit old tl group mentioned

[slender skiff]

it's still alive

[silver robin]

A lot of their shit got nuked

[slender skiff]

last i checked

[silver robin]

sounds about right

[slender skiff]

as of now, index is at 22+23+8 novels

53 volumes

[silver robin]

literally the one piece of light novels

[faint crag]

Well baka always deleted translations if it gets licensed and way more shit is licensed nowadays

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

53 volumes in... 19 years

[faint crag]

Back then if it wasn't on baka, there was prolly no en tl lol

[silver robin]

yep yep

[slender skiff]

he's slown down a bit tho

[silver robin]

~~More like gone back to a normal mortal pace ~~

[slender skiff]

"a bit"

[quaint patrol]

lol just pare the dialogue and just show the people we're meant to see

that was way too cramped

[slender skiff]

Not much is known about Kazuma Kamachi's personal life, which is also true for other light novel authors in Japan. As an author, he is known for his consistent output in writing his books, releasing at least 3 per year. Starting in December 2014, Kazuma has been releasing novels monthly in 4 different titles while working on 3 different manga titles.

ah right

i forgot he has... 7 different series

[silver robin]

there's like 3 index ones

is accelerator a manga or ln

[slender skiff]

Index GT, Railgun manga, Index manga, Mental Out manga are the only ones still going tho

so 4 series

[silver robin]

Railgun is manga only right

[slender skiff]

manga

so is railgun

[silver robin]

[silver robin]

Tf is mental out

[quaint patrol]

that's the mind control girl

the remote

[silver robin]

I don't remember

[quaint patrol]

wait really? i thought there was the other series about her sidekick

the purple drills

guess it was hiatused

[silver robin]

I am drawing a blank

It has been like 5 years since i consumed index

[faint crag]

11th manga series

Huh

[slender skiff]

yep

[quaint patrol]

oh a sequel to astral buddy

i see

[slender skiff]

i generally prefer misaka

but misaki needs hugs

index can

[quaint patrol]

misaki's backstory always tugs at me

but misaka is better

[silver robin]

i agree

[slender skiff]

tbh i don't even know why it's called index at this point

...wait

2019 poll

INDEX PLACES ABOUT MISAKI

nani tf

[quaint patrol]

kekw

does index even have a personality

[slender skiff]

biting touma's head, insatiable glutton, gremlin

...i just wanna ask, who tf is no.4

literally who

it takes a lot to place above othinus

[thorn briar]

[quaint patrol]

idk anything about her, just up to othinius

[faint crag]

Isn't she a friend of dark matter dude?
I remember she was in s3 op

[slender skiff]

Yes

Same team

Tho after that incident she's kinda uh

Not in the story much?

At least, not enough for a 4th place finish

[faint crag]

Well clearly enough

[slender skiff]

Kakine appears enough in NT

Othinus is Othinus

I'm half convinced it's actually a meme

Since she wasn't properly named until like 2020

And that's a 2019 poll

[quaint patrol]

memes make girls

[flat cedar]

https://youtu.be/-95z9B2pY4I

[gusty light]

Damn just watched Hell Paradise

it was awesome

Will look for season 2

[quaint patrol]

wait

[gusty light]

Wait a minute....

[flat cedar]

sauce

[quaint patrol]

2.5 dimensional seduction

[echo quiver]

huh, she's not wrong

no one would wear makeup otherwise

[silver robin]

im just waiting for the anime

thats why im not reading the manga

[ivory mauve]

She's still so young

[ivory mauve]

Bruh

That's not coming out for a few more years

[silver robin]

[quaint patrol]

sam on the long grind

[ivory mauve]

Yee

[silver robin]

Whenever a manga gets anime announced i just wait for the anime unless im already reading it

thats what i did with oshi no ko

[weak glacier]

Garnt doesn't even watch half of the shows he recommends

[red magnet]

Time to watch the Psychopass movie

[thorn briar]

Have fun

[slender skiff]

Emi and Miooooo

...right I forgot she voiced the pres in yakuindomo

[solemn pollen]

literally every anituber

[faint crag]

you stop enjoying anime when watching anime becomes your job

[slender skiff]

^

The fact of the matter is

If you do have the time to watch every anime in a season

You almost certainly will not have the personality for people to enjoy your videos and the time for the sheer amount of editing it takes to make it enjoyable too

Regardless
I'm still willing to trust his opinion lmao

At least I know what to expect from him in terms of taste and biases

Rather than some rando leaving a review on MAL

[faint crag]

well it's also kinda the fact that
if you watched a lot of anime
then you've seen a lot of anime
you've seen all these patterns and stories and formulas and characters
not to say there's no interesting anime or that everything copies everything
but at some point you're not that stocked to watch another romantic comedy about a boy and a girl who don't belong together because they're from completely different backgrounds but through some twist of fate become friends and explore their feelings to each other with the help of their friend circle that consists of 4-6 characters including the initial pair (love triangle is recommended but not mandatory)

[slender skiff]

The worst part is I can't even tell what you're digging at here

[faint crag]

so yea, if you watch anime for this long you prolly just going to find your niche of stuff that you know you like and stick with that instead of trying every pie every season until you get too fat

[slender skiff]

My first guess would've been Horimiya

[faint crag]

it's definitely a guess

[slender skiff]

But you hate that so I don't think that's what you were going for

[faint crag]

[slender skiff]

Toradora also fits that narrative

[faint crag]

I'm clearly being critical
why me hating it excludes it?

[slender skiff]

[quaint patrol]

i understand res patterns

[slender skiff]

I don't think that would be your first thought

[quaint patrol]

sometimes i read comments about progenitor manga types

like how "the villainess is good" stemmed from X novel

[slender skiff]

Oh god

[quaint patrol]

and then it's spammed as an entire genre

[slender skiff]

Yeah that one is being spammed to hell now yeah
It's essentially an isekai sub genre at this point

Tho even bakarina (the OG) fell apart fairly quickly

How do you fall apart after just 2 volumes

[faint crag]

skill

[slender skiff]

Unfortunately? Fortunately?

I've been spoiled by Bookworm

So almost every isekai feels considerably more mid to me now

[faint crag]

anyway it was a combination of several animes that I "kinda felt are ok but couldn't get into it cos it's literally same shit every time" which does include Horimiya

[quaint patrol]

this and mushoku were my first two ln isekai
everything else is just colored as tropes and lazy writing

[slender skiff]

Yeah those are... Definitely high standards

And really tough series to beat

If you started with those

[faint crag]

I don't actually hate Horimiya btw, I just think it was boring and painfully formulaic cos it follows that pattern to a T

[slender skiff]

[faint crag]

damn, imagine starting with the best dish

[slender skiff]

Mood

Horrible typeset aside

Hard boiled indeed

[quaint patrol]

only takes a ton of economic writing

honestly what stands out to me from mushy and bookworm is how they dedicate whole novels to developing a location, setting, or some characters

instead of running an entire character arc through each new shitter a novel

[slender skiff]

Basically

You're the kind that likes world building

[faint crag]

that's kinda what I meant when I said that Bookworm doesn't split story at books, but at parts

so it's basically only 5 books long, but those are large books

[quaint patrol]

either world or character

[slender skiff]

From what you said, both but leans more to world

It's a very rare combination admittedly

[faint crag]

be like Arifureta and do neither

[slender skiff]

Most series do neither

Tensura only gets world building right

Overlord has excellent world building
But only character development to everyone besides the main characters

Ainz has 0 character development throughout the story lmao

I'd argue characters like Renner, Neia and even Zanac show character development

Especially Neia

But that's probably the reason why Holy Kingdom arc is the best in the LN

[faint crag]

Oops, we hit the "Overlord" trap
Time to leave

[slender skiff]

Oi come back

But genuinely

Turns out you need to get out of isekai

[faint crag]

[slender skiff]

Wait does Rezero count?

For both

[faint crag]

yea

def

[slender skiff]

And yet quite a few people here dislike it

[faint crag]

I know a lot of people dislike Subaru, so not surprised

[slender skiff]

To be fair Subaru is an insufferable twat for the starting 2 arcs

It's only midway through the second arc where he starts to change?

[faint crag]

especially if you're anime only and you kinda miss all of the internal dialogue which is pretty important

[slender skiff]

Man I should get back to the LN

I got it ages ago
Still never read it

[faint crag]

It's good

[slender skiff]

Ok hot take inbound

Hatamaou does both excellently outside everything pertaining to romance

[quaint patrol]

i'll try rezero, i've been suffering lately

[slender skiff]

[quaint patrol]

this was my third novel

[slender skiff]

Well for the author it was a lucky break

[faint crag]

wait what
I was sure I finished it

[slender skiff]

After rushing the ending to start a new series
He realised.... Huh maybe that old series was good after all

[quaint patrol]

the ending was so stank

the last 4 novels of it

[slender skiff]

His new series sucks btw

[quaint patrol]

i heard his new series was copying maou

[slender skiff]

51% rating last I checked

Yeah because it's EXACTLY the same premise with different characters

[quaint patrol]

the romance minus genki girl wouldve been good

[slender skiff]

Sorry it's 58% now*

[quaint patrol]

I read some comments saying how he added, was it chisaki?

[faint crag]

so Working?
also a comedy about restaurant ironically enough

after it finished author made a new one that was literally same thing with different chars

[slender skiff]

Close, Chiho Sasaki

[quaint patrol]

he added genki girl as a major character after good responses

[slender skiff]

You just mashed 2 names together

[quaint patrol]

she got deus ex machinaed

[slender skiff]

The original working was a real funzies

[slender skiff]

To be fair
She was more or less abandoned by the story

[faint crag]

I fucking LOVE original Working

[slender skiff]

Does it count as a guilty pleasure?

[faint crag]

I guess I didn't huh

[quaint patrol]

she should've been dropped

leave her to be abandoned

[quaint patrol]

what's the searchable name?

[faint crag]

Wagnaria I guess

[quaint patrol]

better than letting her harness old demon spirits

read that Emi was supposed to be the main couple in initial stages

[quaint patrol]

ill try it later

[faint crag]

[slender skiff]

I mean yeah it's fairly obvious

Especially if you consider the arc S3 is adapting

The whole ||1st return to Ente Isla||

The development after this arc clearly leans to Emi

[slender skiff]

Yeah Working or Wagnaria

Lots of top tier VAs lmao

Seeing Lelouch as a "lover of small things" (including water fleas yes)

Is a sight to behold

[slender skiff]

I still can't wrap my head around Bronya and Popura having the same VAs

...that's quite the variety

[faint crag]

I'm more surprised Nyaruko and Bronya having the same va

[slender skiff]

Blanc at least sounds like Bronya

Marika, Popura and Nyaruko are just

Very excitable lumps of energy

Even that is selling it short

Also lmao Chihiro AHAHAHAHAHAHA

[faint crag]

wait the fuck is this

there's an older nyaruko anime?

[silver robin]

[faint crag]

by a different studio

I think we all would've been better without this information in our lives so I will pretend you didn't interupted us

[faint crag]

is this like Clannad (Toei) and Clannad (Kyoani) situation lol

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

To be fair

Putting aside the character

[faint crag]

oh it's like 4m special
so prolly some promo or smth

[slender skiff]

Kirino does have a very nice VA

[silver robin]

yea if its 4 min it sounds like an ova bundle with a volume

[faint crag]

actually I have an idea

[slender skiff]

That's ALSO a lot of role variety

[faint crag]

well it says it's a tv short and there's 11 episodes

[silver robin]

oh

[slender skiff]

Tho most of them are um

[silver robin]

[slender skiff]

Aggressive

Actually even komeko is aggressive isn't she

Just quiet aggressive

And not BAKAAAAAA screaming aggressive

[silver robin]

koneko is quiet aggressive yes

[red magnet]

Psychopass movie was fuckin dope

What a fuckin TWIST at the end tho

[quaint patrol]

i instantly saw kirino and yuzu and thought they were just an incest VA

i dont even know what that voice is

i just thought of it

[slender skiff]

Isn't citrus a Yuri

[quaint patrol]

step sister incest

[slender skiff]

Oh

Oh my

[faint crag]

I actually don't know anyone here except Azusa and W

[slender skiff]

Res

[faint crag]

but that alone is a huge range yea

[slender skiff]

I'm fairly sure you read gotoubun

Dunno if you watched it tho

[faint crag]

I dunno if you checked manga recently

but they generally don't have voice acting

[slender skiff]

Didn't you watch the anime tho

[faint crag]

no

[slender skiff]

S1 at least

Oh huh

Did you not watch date a live either

[silver robin]

but have you seen va voiced promos for manga

[faint crag]

no lmao

[faint crag]

I'm not sure actually

[quaint patrol]

i see the credit pages suggesting to go listen to it

[faint crag]

I think I watched S1 DAL

[silver robin]

i stopped after s2 and the movie

[slender skiff]

But yeah Ayane Taketatsu usually voices characters that sound like W

Super loud

[silver robin]

idk who W is, is that a bad thing

[slender skiff]

[slender skiff]

AK

[silver robin]

ah

[slender skiff]

Arknights

[slender skiff]

Why the fuck did torva just ping me

[silver robin]

oh right

[slender skiff]

In gph

Asking if I was dead

[silver robin]

cause he needs a mod

oh

idk then

[slender skiff]

Wait not gph

Gen

[silver robin]

tbf you are kinda dead outside this channel

[quaint patrol]

oh he wanted you to mod gen

[faint crag]

wait, was Azumanga actually called "Azumanga Daioh The Animation" in japanese?
that's actually hillarious

[silver robin]

whats the japanese i can attempt to translate

[faint crag]

no, it's just called that

I just wasn't expecting the animation part

cos it just means
"Azuma's Manga (in magazine) Daioh The Animation"

[silver robin]

wao

[slender skiff]

Tbh @silver robin I probably wouldn't want to isekai anywhere

Unless I know I can live my life in peace lmao

[silver robin]

understandable

[slender skiff]

OH

I FORGOT

[silver robin]

people who get isekai'd in anime forget the parents and loved ones reactions

[slender skiff]

https://anilist.co/anime/112608/Slime-Taoshite-300nen-Shiranai-Uchi-ni-Level-MAX-ni-Nattemashita/

[silver robin]

oh right

[slender skiff]

This one is the best

By far

Because she literally isekaied so she didn't need to do anything

So it's probably the one I'd choose

[faint crag]

ok this is a valid choice

[slender skiff]

Like actual isekai SoLs are pretty rare

Mostly cos the whole point of isekai is to make things exciting

Isekai Ojii-san is probably the next safest I can think of?

[faint crag]

haven't watched this one yet

[slender skiff]

Like I absolutely love the idea of

Returning from my isekai

And sharing my story with people

[faint crag]

shouldn't kongming be the safest

[slender skiff]

I mean

I'm excluding reverse isekais

[faint crag]

well for him it's a normal isekai

[slender skiff]

Res that's still technically reverse isekai

Hatamaou is the same

As is recreators

[faint crag]

I thought hatamaou, but it does have demons attacking and shit

so I wouldn't call it safest

even reverse isekai has its nuance!

[slender skiff]

I just like the idea of this

[trim swan]

just request god-kun for cheat powers

[slender skiff]

I have a... Reputation irl for telling grandfather stories

[slender skiff]

It's worth the watch
Very worth

[trim swan]

ender 73.24 YO (years old) IRL(in real life) (real)

[slender skiff]

Why such a specific number

[trim swan]

I was gonna go with 69 but that's cringe so

[slender skiff]

Just look at that cast

Koyasu
Story telling

It's exactly like hearing your wild uncle's stories

[quaint patrol]

it's cozy but it's also trash

[slender skiff]

No no

The original discussion we had in gen was

[quaint patrol]

i know you meant choosing an isekai workd

[slender skiff]

"Would you want to isekai"

And if so where

[quaint patrol]

she casually spends 300 years before having interaction

if u were in control it'd be fun ig

[slender skiff]

I mean

That is precisely what she wanted

Still I'm not sure how she spent 300 years alone doing that

[silver robin]

could you do a " " in gph before things get out of hand thanks

[slender skiff]

Cos well

It's a long period

[silver robin]

nvm yooki is there

[slender skiff]

The only interaction she had is essentially in the village

[boreal oyster]

sent to isekai

become the demon king

[slender skiff]

Too much trouble

I have no interest is playing civ irl

Not when real lives are concerned

[boreal oyster]

summoned to isekai

forced to be a hero to defeat dk

stealthly building legion of loyal stronk dudes in case the church betrayed me

[ivory mauve]

LoL

[boreal oyster]

"now that the dk is no more. so the hero is the most dangerous thing now, let's betray him !1!1!"

ain't no way I'm gonna believe in people who summon me just on the purpose of beating the dk

[stable herald]

Ngl, if i were the hero

i'll marry the demon queen

if its a demon king. Assuming im an op hero, i'll just use genderbend magic

[ivory mauve]

Be careful who you call ugly in middle school

[stable herald]

I also dont mind being the wife tho

[stable herald]

She'll be a hot megane greenhair waifu

[boreal oyster]

dumb siren

[stable herald]

[boreal oyster]

you're just horni

[stable herald]

i am

[boreal oyster]

[stable herald]

fuck world quest, imma marry the demon queen

Got priorities

[boreal oyster]

inb4 the demo queen get the most horrendous looking ever

[stable herald]

Its unfortunate that her rigging doesnt have her kaiju form references

[stable herald]

I mean....theyre a demon lord, so its safe to assume they got them morph magic

[ivory mauve]

Giant turtle mountain

[stable herald]

Also, i hate u dumb cat

[quaint patrol]

[quaint patrol]

kanata is floof

[thorn briar]

We all agree he looks good

[boreal oyster]

[slender skiff]

That artstyle seems very familiar

Is it from the same artist that made the "death flag" one

[gusty light]

[stable herald]

[echo quiver]

[stable herald]

[zinc lance]

[stable herald]

It supposed to be a pharmacist, but the building looks too grand, even the church looks generic

[solemn pollen]

[stable herald]

Something like a lvl 100+ being just broke the barrier

Tho its also quite predictable by now

[ivory mauve]

Damn it i know

[stable herald]

She Don't look loli

[stable herald]

In previous chapters, she was introduced as loli

i also confused why others addressed her as Lady

Guess shes a dragon kin with a reason

[solemn pollen]

Classic example of mommy daughter wife

[ivory mauve]

Yup this is a Crossdressing protagonist

[quaint patrol]

[slender skiff]

...oh lord another quack

As tho the one in Kaguya wasn't bad enough

[echo quiver]

aaaah. i thought they were announcing one punch man new season. just another dumb gacha

still no release date for s3

[slender skiff]

Consider the studio doing it

Do you really want an s3

Considering how much worse s2 adaptation is

[echo quiver]

i want to believe

s2 was like shield hero turtle arc

just bad material

[slender skiff]

Aqua

I'll be honest with you

Turtle arc is actually one of the best arcs in shield hero LN

[echo quiver]

but studio isn't announced for s3

so we're still in the clear

[slender skiff]

It's the same one

[echo quiver]

you have to

believe

[slender skiff]

It's announced already

who the heck

[slender skiff]

Stop being delusional, it's the same studio

That did the first 2 seasons

It's just a bad, no horrendous adaptation

[echo quiver]

huh. ive never even heard of anything this studio has made except made in abyss

weird how shield hero shows up in their-

oh

oh no

[slender skiff]

I refuse to believe you've never heard of Vanguard or Gochuusa

[echo quiver]

uhhhh

[slender skiff]

Especially Vanguard

[echo quiver]

what's the english names

[slender skiff]

It's fucking everywhere

Card Fight Vanguard

Lmfao

[echo quiver]

[slender skiff]

Please tell me you know that exists

[echo quiver]

uhhhhh

are you sure? ive never even heard anyone mention it before

[slender skiff]

It's basically the early 2010s Yu Gi Oh

That's the easiest way to understand it

[ivory mauve]

It still ongoing wtf

[slender skiff]

Buddy Fight overtook it tho lmao

[echo quiver]

i dont think it's as popular as you think it is

[slender skiff]

Aqua

That's because it's more known as a card game anime for kids

Like again, Yu Gi Oh

Or Duel Masters

If you don't know what those are, then my deepest condolences for your lack of a childhood

[slender skiff]

Sadly, I believe buddy fight completely overwhelms it in popularity now

...they've actually done some decent anime

Black Bullet being the 2014 version of Blue Archive

Barakamon is probably the most notable one they've made

[ivory mauve]

https://tenor.com/view/duel-masters-kokujo-kyoshiro-kokujo-gif-21547685

I kinda miss not duel master

[slender skiff]

Today I learned Aqua has no childhood

[ivory mauve]

Aqua as in doctor or Aqua as in useless sprinkler

Or

Aqua as in Aquafina

[slender skiff]

The blob

[neat pelican]

If you're talking about Konosuba Aqua then well... she's a goddess so...

[thorn briar]

Ender said whom he meant here

[thorny nest]

Now that I finally have more time again I started watching the final series of fairy tail and damn is it addicting I cant stop watching

[trim swan]

I stopped watching

[thorny nest]

[trim swan]

can't blame me

the anime was just bad

especially final season

[gusty light]

In reality, it is Suletta and Miorine who got married one to another lel

[gusty light]

TELL ME THE SOURCE

[quaint patrol]

the alya manga is too pretty

[silver robin]

yes

can't wait for anime

[silver robin]

true holy crap

@slender skiff he lacks the critical information

[slender skiff]

Next moment you hear Akashi/Saratoga/QE screaming

[silver robin]

doko miteru no? kocchi da yo

[silver robin]

THEY SHOWED THE THING

[ivory mauve]

MAGIC

[slender skiff]

Unlimited bullet works?

[faint crag]

That's more of Nobu thing

[gusty light]

Fate xddd

She is strong as hecc

[slender skiff]

Honestly

She is one of the strongest

But she's highly dependent on match up

The "older" you are the stronger her attacks become

[gusty light]

Yep

So tell me

Iskender vs Her ☠️

[slender skiff]

Fairly good chance Nobu wins
Cos his riding level, divinity and mystery level is high
And she has the "numbers" to match

Not to mention, she has her own RM too

It's one of the better match ups she has honestly

And if it's a Fuyuuki grail war then

The fame bonus is through the roof

[faint crag]

Also her Phantasm is based around the tactic she used to decimate the cavalry, which incidentally is what Iskander's Marble literally is

[slender skiff]

Let me change that to one of the best match ups then

It's a testament to how strong she is really

...that said there's a fair few Japanese servants that could beat her due to their lack of mystery

Sushi and Regend and of course, Ofeeta being the main culprits

Not sure about Ushi

[zinc lance]

hmmmm

so can she win against a toddler?

cause, if you are a toddler her attacks would be weak as fuck, no?

[slender skiff]

Well
Think of it this way
Her skill augments her base stats
But her base stats are still high lmao

Just not "god" tier

Her skill gets stronger the more divine or the higher "mystery" the target has

In fate, the term mystery is fairly vague
Broadly speaking, it refers to things that cannot be explained with common sense

Regend/Kojiro and Okita's NPs are more techniques rather than magical weaponry

Putting it bluntly
They're just really good swordsmen

[slender skiff]

By extension, a servant with high mystery is usually much stronger than one without

The general rule is
The more modern a servant, the weaker they are

There are exceptions ofc, like Tesla

[zinc lance]

oooh i see

[echo quiver]

how can a servant using weak and dangerous AC possibly stand a chance against anything

🇺🇸

[slender skiff]

Edison is hilariously weak by comparison

He can only fight because he basically has a flightless ironman suit and an army of robots

That's about it

Tesla on the other hand, despite the poor stats, can basically summon Zeus' lightning

You know, peak God tier lightning

[stable herald]

Oh look, he's going to die.

Who would've thought

OK OK

Not what i expected

what a fuckin men they are

HAHAHAHA

My man wont stop

[slender skiff]

This is apparently Bocchi collabing with Ilohas, which is basically a Japanese Dasani

Sam and res could be the same person

[faint crag]

noone ever saw us in the same room, just saying

[slender skiff]

I can't post pics until I go back home

It worked

It didn't work this time

im in merica, therefore im behind by default

the only timezones behind the "lower 48 states" are either more merica or small pacific island nations, neither of which apply to me

[gusty light]

@slender skiff rate me the ending of Kanojo mo Kanojo

is it good

is it bad

is it just okay

is it rushed?

[slender skiff]

There was no other way for it to end really

[gusty light]

Hmmmm... okay... but what do you think

is it good or bad?

[slender skiff]

I think it's an eh at worst

I do think they could have handled the final Mirika arc more smoothly
But there's not much stakes when we know how it's supposed to end lmao

But as for how they could have done so, no clue

So I'd say an "ok" ending

[silver robin]

they know what they are doing

[slender skiff]

I should be watching new series

So why am I watching fruits basket again

[thorn briar]

I actually have the 4 volumes , I want to read them but idk when

I want a new anime season

Gogol , source: bsd s5 I think

I said I won't watch the 4th and 5th seasons cause I'm reading the manga

And now that I'm caught up with the manga

I don't want to see what happened in the manga animated

[silver robin]

He goes more in depth

final review of 86 vol 1: anime was better cause visually seeing everything happening good, plus anime expanded on a couple scenes
vol 1 covered basically all of s1 and the last episode of s2

[solemn pollen]

I think chapter 5 or 6 afterword were both pretty degen but about a different clothing that I will not spoil

[silver robin]

you mean volume?
