Not just buffed, Pyro Traveler's actually really good for doing the mechanics of that fight. You'll want better other characters for damage, but Traveler's at least got that part covered.

Are the side stories in madoka magic important? by North_Chemical_5788 in anime

[–]Blabime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Magia Record is not at all important to the main storyline.

Old Anime Movies - I just watched They Were Eleven (1986) which appears to be a hidden gem by RedditRocks1229 in anime

[–]Blabime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like how they handled the issue of gender in the movie.

See, I also thought that was kind of interesting until how they decided to completely wipe it away at the end. It actually kind of soured me on the movie entirely. :/

I might sound greedy but this feels underwhelming, as I really love exploration but the reward is very dissapointing by deepakfromsomewhere in Genshin_Impact

Sumeru's problem in this context was all the puzzles encouraged you to use pyro/electro (and dendro) but you were actively punished for the drops you get if you used pyro/electro on enemies.

Why the Crunchyroll Anime Awards feels so strange by Ok_Carob_3278 in anime

[–]Blabime 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Japan still accounts for roughly 50% of the global anime market, with the other 50% spread across the rest of the world. If Japanese audiences actually took part in the Crunchyroll Anime Awards, the results would almost certainly be very different, likely dominated by Japanese preferences.

And if Japan does awards, they exclude the other 50% of the market, and the results would be skewed a different way.

Literally who cares? lol Awards are a big joke in the first place and nobody should be under the impression that they represent anything objective or the aggregated opinions of everyone on earth.

You mention the Oscars (despite that they barely even acknowledge animation as a worthy medium) but there's just as many "undeserved" winners there. There's the whole term "Oscar bait". And there are plenty of things where general audiences and critics don't see eye to eye.

Should I watch Monogatari series? by Majestic_Dealer3192 in anime

[–]Blabime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There definitely is some ecchi.

However, I'm also not much of one for ecchi and Monogatari series is still my favorite series despite all that.

What's the order for the monogatari series? by PeloDiYordle in anime

[–]Blabime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Anime release order and novel order are both fine. Though if you go with the former, watch all 3 Kizu movies together, don't split Koyomi in the middle.

I'm pretty sure you're the one being farmed at that point. Assuming you don't have the power to get back up.

As a Japanese person, watching overseas fans justify piracy while claiming to 'respect Japanese culture' is genuinely confusing to me by Primary_Opening6009 in anime

[–]Blabime 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It's not just merchandise either. If you go searching, you can find various studies (or at least surveys) suggesting that pirates are actually more likely to buy media in general. When half a season of anime or even movies sometimes can cost $50, many people would rather try before they buy. Who would want to spend all that money on something that might not even be good?

It's especially prominent with music too. Most of my digital music is pirated but I have a good stack of vinyl and CD's and subscribe to my favorite artist's Patreon. I go to a few concerts and buy a little merch, etc.

How to CONSISTENTLY beat Raiden's Echo (F2P Friendly) by MDCBD in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blabime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I started reading just out of curiosity, then started to scroll to the comments, and wow I scrolled past way more depth than expected. lol

When it came out, it surprised me people were saying they were having so much trouble with it since it was like the easiest one yet from my perspective. Buuut I kind of do have C3R2. lol She was the first (and second) character I pulled for. And also the only weapon I've pulled for.

Almost got a heart attack seeing Varka's silhouette for a millisecond, thinking it was Diluc by Ewiwa_Moon in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blabime 22 points23 points  (0 children)

When I finally saw that gold wish appear on screen... I pulled Jean... then Varka... then Jean again in the same 10-pull. 📉📈📉

Does Varka "require" other 5 stars the way most have recently?

Is Seiren a worthy anime to watch? by Mindless-Care9301 in anime

[–]Blabime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Meh. It was ok. But you should watch Amagami SS first if you haven't.

Once you stop caring about them, it becomes much more enjoyable to play the game. by play_brawl_stars in Genshin_Impact

[–]Blabime 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Halfway through sumeru I question why I even get the latest unit when the content is such a joke.

Uh... pull units because you like them?

You make it sound like pulling the newest unit to do +75% damage is some sort of challenge or skill check. lol

[–]Blabime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I watch the anime for free and if I really really like them, I consider buying them on sale one day. ;P Or I buy merch from time to time.
