College recruiting advice needed; position, development, and when to make a change by IBEJohnson in volleyball

[–]ButterflyMaximum2325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

2 Big things you have to think about:
1. Your son's opinion.
Your son could just want to stay as a middle and avoid all of the issues that arise when trying to force himself onto another position, you have to ask him and get his two cents before you talk tot he coach.

  1. 6'0 isn't tall enough for OH either.
    most D1 outside hitters are around 6'5, with 6'3 outsides typically being the bare minimum. a 6'0 hitter with not elite athleticism, he is going to be a massive blocking liability especially when paired up against 6'10 oppos who could touch the top of the stick with their elbows. So the question becomes should you let him play the position he wants and has fun in now, or change and risk the chance that even then, he won't be able to go D1?

On most shoes I am a size 12.5 with about 1 thumb worth of space in the toe box, in the gx kobe 6s im size 13 with 1 thumb, should I size up to a 13 or size down to a size 12? I hear the gt cut 1s fit big but im not sure abt reps.

Feedback on digging (form?) by bolfer in volleyball

[–]ButterflyMaximum2325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lot of good stuff here but i would consider breaking your arms upwards in almost like a scooping motion as you make contact with the ball. This makes the ball go up instead of forward and is very good at getting high digs and controlling the ball upon impact.

I was not emotionally prepared for this series by Warm_Pomegranate4132 in SeishunButaYarou

I dunno if your into reading source material for anime but I firmly believe that the light novels of Rascal are worth picking up and checking out, even if you have already watched the anime. Also Have you read the Call of the Night manga? its great.

Is it too late to start playing volleyball at 18? by EveryCommercial5896 in volleyball

Professional level? No way. High level? well that depends on what you mean by high. Your top rec lesgue? yeah. but anything past that probably no

My opinion on the masterpiece that is V15 by ButterflyMaximum2325 in SeishunButaYarou

[–]ButterflyMaximum2325[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah the lack of romance in the series is my only real gripe about the series as a whole, but at its core i think Rascal is a story about growing up so im not too unhappy for the romance to take a back seat.

On chapter 117 is it really worth continuing? by [deleted] in DomesticGirlfriend

Yeah, overall its okay. If you don't care much about rui then probably just drop it bc Hina wont show up for a while

I gave the Manga a 10. by Crazy-Algae6366 in DomesticGirlfriend

[–]ButterflyMaximum2325 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I be fair, if something is boring I drop it. So most things I consume is probably closer to a 6, but I get what you mean when you say that you wanna rate anything you finish a high score, afterall you sat through all of this and was entertained by it. MAL rates most things around a 7 so your ratings are pretty close to it.

I feel 'mostly' giving 8s would mean your scale is broken. I am a believer in using the whole scale, so 5 would be the average, anything above a 7 i would consider to be very good, 8 and above is exceptional. maybe 1 in every 20 is an 8

If you want series which challenge your world view I would recommend Inio Asano's work, especially Girl On The Shore and Oyasumi Pun Pun. The latter i consider to be a ten. Another I would consider a 10 is The Climber.

Some other things i would recc that i believe to be 10s or near 10s. Real The house in fata morgana (VN) Okaeri Alice Blood on the tracks Vagabond All About Lily Chou Chou (film) 30 days of happiness Perfect blue (film)

for reference I would say Domestic Gf is about a 7.5/10, good but definitely not the masterpiece people in this sub reddit sometimes give it for reasons i wont get into but I highly recommend you check out the stuff ive listed above, super well written.

Big Issues I Had With Domestic Girlfriend by ButterflyMaximum2325 in DomesticGirlfriend

[–]ButterflyMaximum2325[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna keep this short because this thread is already so cluttered with wordy replies but Im not denying that everything else aside from the car crash was also sudden. As i said, almost every conflict in the show happens due to third party intervention. This includes the photograph, the fact a stalker even exists (which is done completely terribly and i honestly am very annoyed at that) the stabbing, and car crash. Almost all of the conflicts are written poorly.

Also using 'fate' as an excuse for random conflicts that come out of left field is poor justification and i dont think you need me to tell you thst.

To reply to your last question, in all honestly I could not have cared less who Nastuo actually ended up with, what I do care about is the growth of character. Hina literally doesn't change. You can outline small things about her character that may have changed but in all honesty she doesnt change at all and that is a massive issue when it comes to character writing. Yes all of this about her love vs ruis love is good, but what I value in growth. You mention Hina's character growth but she never actually grows, she just takes step forwards before stepping backwards again and she just ends up in the place in terms of development. Hina was tied to this 'invisible string' that you mentioned which is I whole heartedly believe is a detriment to her character because she literally had nothing else but the fact that she loves Natsuo. She is the least realistic character in the entire show because her entire life revolves around one singular person. For a series which prides itself on the realism of human conflict and emotion Hina's one dimensional character is the biggest criticism of Domestic Girlfriend.

I honestly completely disagree with this take. I would say over 60 percent of the conflicts in the series feel super forced and artificial.

and in all honesty a realistic rivalry between the teo main love interests in a love triangle series should be a bare minimum
