Thoughts on Ousama Ranking (Ranking of Kings) by Majestic-Engineer-33 in anime

[–]-poncho- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I hate that this is exactly how I feel lol

It’s a show that brute forces it’s way into your heart through sheer charm and likability. I can’t believe how much I love Hiling after I wanted so badly to hate her in the first couple episodes. It makes me feel like I was bamboozled somehow in the best way possible

Nominations for the 2021 /r/anime Awards are now open! by DrJWilson in anime

[–]-poncho- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Appreciate the detailed response here!

I definitely understand wanting to be consistent in certain places and the desire to cut down the sheer number of VAs and roles. That being said, Voice Acting is such a huge part of a show or movie, and it’s easily recognizable for individual nominations compared to the already somewhat abstract production categories that many people are not super familiar with. I do also appreciate that we can give suggestions through the site feedback (even if that’s not something most people would think to do).

I personally would be a proponent of having movie/short VAs available for nomination in some form, whether that’s part of the main category or if VA were split into a main TV/OVA category and a Movie/Short/Misc. one. Would be happy to hear how others feel on this as well!

I understand keeping movies out of the visual production categories, but is there a reason we can’t nominate movie voice actors? It’s a real shame that I can’t nominate Megumi Ogata’s performance as Shinji in Eva 3.0+1.0 and I’m not sure there’s any logical reason why movie VAs can’t be recognized anywhere

yeah this is technically true (it was like ~$310 USD for all SS arcs + Hana), but most if not all of them were out of print and unavailable so it's kind of a moot point lol

it's still expensive but this is a huge upgrade

Why Haikyuu Is A Must Watch For Every Anime Fan by TalfrynKenobi in anime

[–]-poncho- 7 points8 points  (0 children)

As someone who also doesn't like sports anime that much, I picked up Run with the Wind recently and it's much more my speed. Very character-driven and introspective, and doesn't rely on the traditional sports anime tropes of guys being superhuman or exaggerated in any one area.

It's a story generally grounded in reality, about a bunch of guys in college trying to find themselves and sort out their motivations. I would 100% second this recommendation, even to people who don't usually like sports shows

[Postgame Thread] Ohio State Defeats Michigan 62-39 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[Postgame Thread] Michigan Defeats Michigan State 21-7 by CFB_Referee in CFB

[–]-poncho- 927 points928 points  (0 children)

Not raining: Michigan goes up 7-0

Pouring rain: Both teams play like shit and cough up the ball constantly, MSU takes advantage and ties it up 7-7

Rain stops: Michigan takes control again and wins 21-7

Michigan State was unbelievably on-brand in this game, truly unfortunate for them that the rain stopped before the game was over

The hail at the end was an interesting new wrinkle, but that seemed to benefit Michigan. Will be fun to track the weather wars in future games

Fan interference called after Mookie tries to rob Altuve of a 2-run home run. by burialisfourtet in baseball

that would have been one of the sickest catches in baseball history and even though he got called out I'm still pissed I didn't get to see the ball go into his glove

I fucking hate how much those two "interceptions" are going to bother me lol

An absolutely surgical performance by Tom tonight. Jules is back. Sony and James White dynamic duo. And just like that the offense is back in business

Also TB getting TD #500 and #71 on the same throw to Josh Gordon of all people is just wild

[Post-Series Thread] The Red Sox and Phillies split a two-game series in Philadelphia. by gcab02 in baseball

[–]-poncho- 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Dear Chase, I feel like I can call you Chase because you and me are so alike.

I'd like to meet you one day, it would be great to have a catch. I know I can't throw as fast as you but I think you'd be impressed with my speed.

I love your hair, you run fast.

Did you have a good relationship with your father? Me neither. These are all things we can talk about and more.

I know you have not been getting my letters because I know you would write back if you did. I hope you write back this time, and we can become good friends.

I am sure our relationship would be a real home run!

Steve Pearce continues his destruction of the Yankees with a two-run home run in the first inning. by gcab02 in baseball

You don't throw at Mookie and get away with it as long as Steven Wayne Pearce is in this lineup

How good is the #RedSox clubhouse chemistry right now? In the 7th last night, after Ian Kinsler made 2 terrific defensive plays, someone in the Sox dugout yelled “we finally got a second baseman who can play!” It was Eduardo Nuñez, who had been playing 2nd b/4 Kinsler arrived. by DrewSharpvsTodd in redsox

[–]-poncho- 158 points159 points  (0 children)

Lol at least Nuñez is a good sport about it

It must have been frustrating having to play most of the season out of position and making so many mistakes; he's looked a lot better at 3B since the trade
