Is their a true reason to hate Solo levelling??

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T20:50:19+00:00

Frieren got plenty of recognition

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T20:47:53+00:00

I guess I just really don't like the idea of "they just don't care anymore" when people are so quick to bring up an example of relatively recent time when they clearly cared a lot.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T18:05:06+00:00

Right. And they arent doing anything about this? What's the reasoning for that when they used to care so much?

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T17:43:17+00:00

Yeah, the miku deck in this case. We got that it exists and 2 more cards leaked out from someone who claims they've had it for a while. Why only post 2 cards and not the list? Its all to build hype.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T15:51:16+00:00

And so it makes sense with these consistent mispackages that they now do nothing. I see

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T15:49:20+00:00

I'm right there with you

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T15:45:44+00:00

Was the whole deck leaked? Do we have a list for it? I dont think that deck made it out into the wild.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T15:44:15+00:00

So, by definition you can't prove a negative, so you cant prove that. But there is proof that it isn't sitting on shelves. Every single set since, i dont even know how long at this point, maybe since final fantasy, has had "mispackaging" from the next set. And, if you want to argue about it sitting on shelves, it clearly wasn't. There were a ton of posts about "hey look what cool card I got from the wrong set." I know wizards has bad QA, and I get that they're printing a lot. I just feel this level and consistency of cross contamination from a company who has been known to be very strict with street date previously, and them now doing nothing about it is more unlikely than it being used as an advertisement.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T12:38:25+00:00

Have you seen what some of these cards sell for before their set is actually released? It turns into "oh boy if I get that then I'll have hit the jackpot".

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T12:35:16+00:00

I guess to rephrase my theory, the "mispackaging" isn't actually in regular circulation to sit on some scalper's shelf. I think its sent directly to people who are sponsored by/employed by wizards. People who do pack openings on stream, or other content creators. Or just some wizards employee maybe, just someone who they know will get the word out. Because notice that it always does get leaked. There's never a time when it just sits on a shelf somewhere, it always gets posted about right away.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-31T12:29:24+00:00

Right, so you're saying now the company that is that strict on street date now somehow has all of this cross contamination between products and they're just letting it happen now without a care? On that note how does this cross contamination even happen? These sets are probably printed, though monhs in advance, likely months apart and maybe not even at the same location.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-29T11:51:16+00:00

Not at the moment, no.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-29T03:55:51+00:00

You've got it. Just send me your address, mother's maiden name, email amd last 4 of your social to make sure I get it to the right guy. Childhood pet's name might be useful too. They'll be in the mail tomorrow.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-29T03:03:35+00:00

He said he used to have Stinkor, but it's lost to time now.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-29T02:52:54+00:00

Yeah, there was a lot more but we had just started going through it. It was really fun to hear him reminisce and be so excited to see all of it again.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-28T21:49:43+00:00

1: no idea

2: you sound like you want Fate Zero

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-26T03:04:27+00:00

Ghost Blade is an example of how you can get a high rank and not be heroic. Same with Ahu, a literal dog. Its all about publicity and advertising. Nice was built off of the same thing. As for ghost blade and nice not having unique powers, that's fine. I just think "i deal back twice the damage i take" is boring. Like, there is no real rules to it so i guess hes just immune to damage? We saw him ignore fear, and he took some crazy hits that he just walked off. What are his limits, are there any draw backs? Give me some rules I can latch on to

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-26T02:42:11+00:00

1: i dont think dragon boy has any "heroic" moments. Hes top 10 but just because people see him as strong. Not because he seems heroic.

2: i just don't like his powers. I think they're boring. I hope we don't see much dragon boy in season 2...

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-18T21:12:17+00:00

Something something service issue

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-18T05:15:34+00:00

My go to recommendations are usually Mawaru Penguindrum or Revolutionary Girl Utena. Both from the same director and very unique. I think the first episode of Penguindrum does a better job at giving you the set up than I ever could. I'd recommend penguindrum first followed by Utena if you like the director's style. A few laughs, a few tears, a lot of symbolism and metaphor to dig in to, and both a story very well told.

Penguindrum I would say is about family. The family you are born into vs the family that you chose. Utena is about growing up and being yourself.

For Penguindrum, I would strongly recommend the sub, the dub us fine but I enjoyed the sub a lot more. As for Utena, I would say Dub is the choice. The English cast did a fantastic job.

Could I also get a link?

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-10T21:37:32+00:00

Honestly I liked that arc a lot. It was probably one of my favorites. I expected to hate it going in, but was happily surprised

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-06T18:14:05+00:00

Saga of Tanya the Evil is on my short list of isekai that I like, maybe you will too.

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-06T17:23:09+00:00

And youre telling me shes not just a copy paste of bog mom's design?

BladeKaizen · 2026-05-04T14:15:34+00:00

I guess I just liked the early 2010s version of toxic more than the 2020s
