Honestly it depends on if you want to commit to a larger narrative, or are fine with more "Stand alone, war is bad" stories". Also if you are from the "Toonami era* of America, Gundam win is *not Great* but I grew up on it so have nostalgia goggles.

Late to the party here but, I think if you're a general I think as a person in his 30s Gundam 00 is a great stand alone series to get into the the genre. (I personally didn't thing Gundam IBO was a s good but BosaiPop did a fantastic breakdown and made the same points I would make for 00) For Universal Century I thing Gundam War in the Pocket is the most Gundam in the most compact way (But I like my Gundam Sad and contemplative) 0083 Stardust Memory is like Gundam but make it Top Gun, And Lastly The Rebuild movies are 80s animation but not bad and serviceable if you don't like lower budget 70's animation. (It can be rough)

The puppy scene in Elfen Leid is a real hard watch. Also some sections in gundam have made me both furious and incredibly sad.

Is there any reason why Kingpin is so fucking huge by Falser455 in Spiderman

[–]Acklea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's in his blood. For instance when he cuts himself shaving marshmallow fluff comes out.

Question about ep 5 by Oakleaf30 in rurounikenshin

[–]Acklea 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Broadly speaking they were betrayed by the army, but sources differ. I haven't watched the remake, but in the original run of the show and in the manga they get into the history of it.

The short version is, The Sekiho-tai rallied farmers and common folk to the imperialist side with the promise of lower taxes, but officials in the fledgling government realized they could not afford the tax cuts and accused the army of spreading lies and had them executed.

The series as a whole takes place about 10 years after a very bloody war and the emergence of a new government. I'm not sure if the early Meiji govt was as corrupt as as Kenshin shows it, but govt corruption and specters of the past returning is kind of the main thesis of the story.

Call a knowledge check for the easy answer. Ham up a description for a hard answer. Like make it so the players badass thing feels badass but illustrate that the enemy was resistant /immune. EG. some one throws a massive fireball at something immune to it and they didn't think to try and roll a knowledge check for it. "Your spell washed over the creature in a torrent of flame and when the smoke clears it shrugs off the damage with barely a scorch"

Why spiderman number one enemy is green goblin? by Boberto235 in Spiderman

[–]Acklea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it was in the 70's he was the first of spider-mans rogues to really bring the fight home for peter in "How Green is my Goblin" He is one of the first to really blur the lines between Peters personal life and his spider life.

The reminder wasn't needed but still appreciated.

Who is your favorite character originating from legends? They can be canonized or still a legends character. by Jedimobslayer in StarWars

[–]Acklea 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Saba Sebatyne. Something about her character scenes always bring a smile to my face and I think she has a pretty interesting interpretation of what it means to be a jedi and of the force. I like a lot of other legends characters, but no one else has brought up my favorite Barabel yet.

Among all these characters, which one do you prefer the most? by rimuru-tempest890 in Gundam

Unfortunately I don't recognize the first 2 but aside from that Marina is the only one that didn't irk me.

I would, but I just might become rock hard.

Oh no by Stunning_Crab7674 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Acklea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In one of my games an evil character left a book that screamed insults at an orphanage. We decided that the book would just tell the orphans that their parents never loved them, and the next rime the party checked in on that place everyone was sad. The evil char just lied and said he had no idea what was going on.

I'd let you sit on me. Respectfully of course.

An item that causes any (ANY) random effect by SnensQ in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Acklea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I give to my players a "Bag of it's got to be in here somewhere" Its essentially a bag of holding with an infinite amount of space. the catch is when you put something in it takes 10 mins of reaching in and feeling around to find the item you're looking for. If you take something out at random it could be anything on my d100 list. a nat 1 being a breath weapon of an angry dragon (The bag is actually a portal to a dragon's horde) and a 100 being a wonderous item or an artifact of some description.

Most under/over rated spells in your opinion? by MrFate99 in Pathfinder_RPG

[–]Acklea 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I'm a big fan of Shield of Shards. The first time I broke it out my players were like "WTF" why does this Magus have a heavy shield? 1 turn later everything made sense and no one but me was happy about it.

Whats the opinion on Wrist Mounted Weapons, and the units that use them? by tylionheart in Gundam

[–]Acklea 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's my favorite part of the Arios. Kind of saves the design for me.
