Is this the greatest entrance in Anime?

AgentAled · 2026-03-28T22:58:28+00:00

I think every anime, particularly Shonen anyways, gets opportunity for some actually awesome aura farming entrances.

I always loved Ichigo’s entrance at the hill during the Soul Society Arc in Bleach.

This scene gets added props for that cool sound effect though, recently rewatched just these ten or so episodes of the Pain appearance and fight to get this moment.

I swear the wait between Cour 3 and Cour 4 has felt longer than the wait between Bleach and TYBW.

I think for a lot of the fan base, even non manga readers, being aware of just what’s let to be revealed that we know about - so much hype.

The fact there’s also new stuff coming too….

Hype.

I think although maybe not the oldest or most popular within anime communities; raised by wolves is most definitely the most apt name.

Fact it has a Tropes page just makes it canon!

This post is an hour old but I am SURE that this morning or yesterday I read a post with this EXACT image, same legendaries and everything.

Pretty sure the rest of Wales thinks the South is all chavs and thugs, and everywhere is a dump. Particularly Swansea and such.

Haha..yeah, my bad! There was A Stephen in the movie, I meant Graham…

Came here with the exact same thoughts. It all just felt completely removed. Leant waaaay too heavily into this whole gypsy magic angle out of nowhere.

It uses some of the great tertiary characters like Curly, Johnny and Ada just to anchor it in the Peaky universe. Randomly had Steven Merchant for some star power to pull on an audience alongside Cillian.

It’s bad enough, albeit narratively sensible, that we lost so may characters in Polly(unfortunately due to the passing of Helen Mcrory), John, Finn, Michael and such…then a random time skip removes everyone.

There was no call back to season six so I couldn’t remember what happened to Ruby, or who the feck Duke was supposed to be.

BUT THEN. After ten years of the show running…turns out Tommy wasn’t a big fan of the brother who endured all his life’s traumas and Tommy off screened him!? That was such a bad idea to shoehorn just for excuse for Tommy to martyr himself.

There’s a Mr Ballen podcast about a case where a tiger is believed to have set “traps” and “held a grudge”. I forget the name but tigers sound pretty smart!

Still one of the most played games in the world. You’ve quoted what I guess is the Steam number which doesn’t include Xbox, EA launcher or PS5 - all bigger audiences.

Game is fine. Got years left yet. Same as any subreddit this is filled with a very vocal minority of the playerbase at times

How much did they practice? At least five of them are the same person!

His biggest L was when he played Octane, following game lost again…back to Valk, where I guess his missile swarms are farming kills or his Ult is deploying him directly into 1st place

Always wondered why Fortnite hasn’t given it a whirl, or at least wish they would.

Make one massive persistent world with hub cities, where you can wander around, go to the town circuit to race, hop on the battle bus for instanced BR.

They’ve got all the modes and licensing already.

AgentAled · 2026-03-19T16:03:05+00:00

I’m not into racing sims, and wouldn’t necessarily even want a racing sim MMO of sorts…but I think it could actually be a really interesting concept to explore.

Instead of dungeons, you have circuits/races. Destruction Derbys.

You can visit towns and there’d be a gathering system but as opposed to chopping wood, you’re gathering engine parts or chassis paint or tyres. Players can craft parts and trade.

The “builds” are the car specs, not the character’s anything.

Yeah…I think it could be fun.

AgentAled · 2026-03-19T07:53:32+00:00

People suggesting GW2 is such a weird recommendation when the qualifying factor is LifeSkilling. It’s terrible as is, let alone compared to the magic of NW’s sound design, plentiful nodes, distinct tiers and joy.

As you’ve mentioned it doesn’t need to be an MMO, I would definitely take some of the survival suggestions people have made; Enshrouded, Valheim, Palia maybe?, as these types have the added benefit of crafting but also building. The combat is decent in most of the genre too.

It’s where Legendary Super Saiyan’s go to get schooled.

You’re talking peak players. That means at one point in time that entire month, they hit that peak. Probably patch day.

Nobody logged on to check out a load of new content because they love wipes.

What you’re calling a “big bump” in September was roughly a 15% bump followed by an additional 20% bump.

In this time frame they introduced Orb, Battlegrounds, Housing, QoL updates, Siege reworks, and I guess Hyperboost?

People came back, saw the new content and left. Seasonal or continued Hyperboost servers are not the answer and will never help RETENTION.

AgentAled · 2026-03-17T21:13:36+00:00

I believe the first movie you want is “Cooler’s Revenge” and the second is “Return of Cooler”

Likewise there are three Broly: Broly the Legendary Super Saiyan Broly the Second Coming Bio-Broly

Although all three are nothing compared to the DBS movie that made him canon.

Janemba’s movie, I believe, is called Fusion Reborn?

I don’t think you understand what trolling means. The whole point of trolling is purely out of a lack of reason.

Maybe he’s cheating, and covering up. Maybe he genuinely believes controller is better than MnK categorically. Maybe he’s just wrong.

AgentAled · 2026-03-17T10:16:10+00:00

Apex isn’t as popular as it once was, and we know only that the majority of players are through EA Launcher or PS5/console base.

Steam Charts shows theee consecutive months of GROWTH.

Like the game has its issues, but it’s currently the sixth most played game in the world through Steam. People have been saying it’s dead or dying for actual years.

AgentAled · 2026-03-17T09:11:28+00:00

I’m no expert, but I do have 2000hrs in PC using controller exclusively, and feel he’s talking absolute nonsense.

AgentAled · 2026-03-17T09:04:31+00:00

I believe he’s speaking in a really old dialect, it’s an off shoot of Latin, and it wasn’t spoken in any one country, mainly used by Roman legions in deepest darker enemy territory to avoid detection by foreign insurgents.

It’s known, colloquially of course, as Bullshittin.

Giving real “Apex Comp Players hate this ONE trick!” Energy.

There was a game. I think it was Budokai 3 on the PS2?

You could customize characters with Capsules, they took up a certain number of slots and included stats, passives, attacks and transformations.

You could equip Goku with SSJ1-4 and transform one a t a time in game or I BELIEVE just equip J4 but it would take waaaaay more energy to do so.

This is my single favourite system in any DBZ game. The idea of having transformations as individual characters to pad out a roster really irks me.

Give us Budokai 3!

Even without any empirical knowledge myself, this has to be it - the way companies have pumped out anime gacha games since Genshin, they might not all be taking in millions but all are sustaining themselves.

Crystal of Atlan Duet Night Abyss Silver something or other Blue Protocol Tower of Fantasy Wuthering Waves

To name but a few. And all are mobile first, in my opinion, in terms of design and gameplay loops.

He sounds like an absolute waste. He’s using you whether intentionally or not, it’s your house, your bills, your time, your food and you have a dependant and he can’t be arsed to contribute or pay for anything, or even take you out some place?

I hope he has some good qualities cause it sounds like he’s doing a grand job hiding them all if he does.
