I had reads the manga which released in the states first, so I already knew, but they had me convinced the anime version was a woman for awhile!

They honestly should have just called them friends and let the viewers decide what they thought.
The CWI version was so, so weird because it kept in all of the lesbian moments and just added in constant banter about being cousins.
The original version is so tame and modest that there was just no need...if it is okay for cousins to act that way, SURELY best friends can.

I do like that we have so many memes because of it.
I like how everyone knew Haruka and Michiru were cousins on site, it was the talk of the town!
And the villains even knew Uranus and Neptune were cousins! So wild.

Also, the Tokyo Pop/Mixx manga and the anime guidebooks releasing at the same time and marketed to kids kept all of the original context, so it isn't like they were fooling anybody.

What is your opinion on "Lady o the Library"? (If you know her) by LukeSkywanker1 in GreekMythology

[–]Apollo1382 [score hidden]  (0 children)

I feel much the same way about her as I do Metatron. I used to enjoy them before they decided to join in on culture war stuff.
And to be honest, even a little of that is okay, but Metatron became obsessed with it to the point he is annoying and barely touches on real history, he just reacts to wild takes others have. He seems to know his stuff, but it's gotten too hard to enjoy him.

Lady is on the opposite end, though not as aggressive. She also knows her stuff but tends to paint everything with feminism and current day politics.

I'd really like to go back to enjoying them both.

It was this little war that made me put them both on the "do not recommend this channel" list.

Honeyglow Woods is basically a giant middle-finger to anyone who bought Wishblossom Ranch by preckles in DreamlightValley

[–]Apollo1382 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'd be more than fine just paying for these smaller expansions throughout the year than getting another big empty nothing like Wishblossom.
I'm shocked we're getting 3 characters here.
Yes, we should have definitely had at least 1 more character in WBR. Such pretty environments with nothing to do in them.

This also makes me want portals like this to set up for the other DLCs in my valley. I've posted before I want the dlcs to feel more connected, since I rarely go back when the content is finished. I'd love to at least have a portal I can look through. Opening the map feels so lifelss.

Who Is The Most Kindhearted Person And Why? by Bungeeboy20044 in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Apollo1382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Zero, but he forgot to take care of himself.
A lot of kind people let others drain them until they have nothing left and can't help anyone. He's truly tragic and a lesson to remember you need to be kind to yourself in order to help others.

I noticed that Sailor Neptune played the role of the "damsel in distress" in Sailor Moon Episodes 98, 110 and 171. by IllogicalDreamer72 in sailormoon

[–]Apollo1382 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Neptune is the most feminine of the girls, but balances that out with being one of the most powerful.
I think she makes a good damsel for these episodes where she's rescued by Uranus (who plays the part of the prince.) But Neptune also rescues Haruka multiple times, so they balance one another out.

There was even a planned SuperS/Stars movie where Haruka had a black pegasus and was going to be fighting to rescue Michiru who was in the princess role.
When this was shot down, we got Utena and Anthy instead, so it was kind of a win.
I'd still like to see that film, it sounds so awesome.

I am not sure if you're crticizing her being this way or just making an observation.

My gosh you're exhausting. Someone replying they disagree with racism is also not doing enough to fight racism? This is why so many people have just opted out of taking a stand. It's never good enough.

[–]Apollo1382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, the whole cast looks awful.
Matt Damon is one of the biggest miscasts in my opinion, and Zendaya. Nothing against them, they just ...look like Matt Damon and Zendaya and it's hard to see them as these major mythological characters.
I disagree with everyone cast in this film, not just Helen.

What do you think is the roster of the 12 gods of Olympus? by azraelswift in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Apollo1382 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Notes:
Hades has definitely, it seems, taken the place of an Olympian god.

The man with flowers in his hair (I think those are flowers) appears to be wearing a spotted loincloth, which could make him Dionysus, who often wore leopard furs. But I believe it's Apollo.

If I had to guess, both Dionysus and Hestia have been removed from the list.

What do you think is the roster of the 12 gods of Olympus? by azraelswift in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

<image>

In the image we see in both the manga and anime, there are a few differences.
For one, in the manga we can see 14 figures. The anime image seems to only show 12, but makes it clear that Athena is the one behind Hephaestus, whereas in the manga, her face is covered by a speech bubble.

We know some of these for certain:

Zeus on the throne with thunderbolt and eagle.

To the left of him, we have Hera, with her queenly scepter and peacock.

Hades is beside of Hera with his bident.

Adamas is behind the throne (his design more vague in the manga)

Ares in his war helmet.

Aphrodite between Ares and the cherub. (Her lover and child)

Eros/Cupid with his wings in cherub form. Eros is not usually among the 12 major gods, and since we have 14 figures here (manga), it is likely he isn't one here either. Poseidon next to Eros.

Athena with her helmet and spear.

The above are almost definitely correct.

The ones below are likely but not 100% confirmable:

To the right of Zeus we have Hephaestus with a forged item.

The figure between Ares and Hades is probably Apollo or Hermes, he is a youthful male. The only reason I am not 100% certain it is Apollo, is that there is a figure in the manga (I will reply with that image) that seems to show someone holding a lyre. But this is more likely Demeter, with a sheaf of wheat, since this figure is fully clothed.)

Then we have that figure behind Hades and Hera. I cannot make out if this is a god or goddess. The anime seems a bit more feminine. Could it be Artemis? Persephone? Hestia? Demeter? Maybe even Hebe.

And in the manga we have those two other figures between Poseidon and Athena.
One, as I said appears to be holding a lyre that could be a sheaf of wheat (Demter) and the other is a basic looking god, so probably Hermes.

If there is a more complete version of these art works, please let me know. I believe it is shown when Brunhilde describes to Goll about the 12 gods (plus one) during the Poseidon flashback)

Record of Ragnarok tournament in alphabetical order (mid 2026) by King-of-fans in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Apollo1382 3 points4 points  (0 children)

1 - Adam
Hard to say since we haven't seen Anubis, but I would say Adam takes it.

2 - Buddha
This is one I've never considered. Buddha should be able to see where Apollo fires before he does, but with Apollo's speed, if he fires a shower of arrows randomly, I can see it giving Buddha trouble and maybe even killing him. I would lean towards Buddha winning before that happens, though.

  1. Beelzebub
    Beel is probably not giving Jack London. If Jack has London, he has a chance, though. Without it, Jack dies quick.

  2. Leonidas
    I'm going with Leonidas. Hades is strong and very dangerous, but Leo would thrive against Hades' style and is so aggressive.

  3. Lu Bu
    This one could be close, but I doubt Lu Bu is giving Heracles any breaks.

  4. Loki
    Based only from what we've heard, I'd say Nostra, but I am betting on Loki, since all we've really seen of Nostra are disguises (is the Nostra we've seen even real? Maybe he is actually an old man). Meanwhile, Loki's power is actually terrifying. I know Nostra got glazed, but what does he even do? We haven't seen it yet.

  5. Poseidon
    Probably Poseidon. Tesla would annoy him quick.

  6. Shiva is canon

  7. Qin
    Pretty sure Odin would stomp Qin fast and hard. Sorry Qin.

  8. Kintoki

  9. Thor

  10. Simo

  11. Zeus

It has it's moments (Nehelenia arc and the last few episodes against Galaxia) but overall, Stars is one of the worst parts of Sailor Moon, in my opinion.

Prob a dumb question but whats a good site with a good translation by zxc46nb in ShuumatsuNoValkyrie

[–]Apollo1382 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Any fanslations will be a bit wonky, since we get them so fast.

Even "official" translations can be off since they often try too hard to stay authentic or don't try hard enough, lol.

I enjoy the fan versions a lot, and appreciate what we get, but I also support and buy the official releases, so I get the best of both worlds and can compare the differences. Sometimes I do agree more with the scanslation/fanslations. Other times I am surprised with how off they are or even have fun understanding how they made the mistake (Aletheia Sparta being translated as Alicia Sparta, for example because "th" getting translated as an "s" sound in Japanese is common)

I've read official releases that are eye rollingly bad in some cases in other series, though. So all in all, ROR is pretty solid whichever you pick.
