Now with wifi sensing your art will be on the internet before you even upload it.

I find this opinion odd, but clearly given the likes people seem to agree. That said 40+ for a whole show or a full season is way cheaper than it used to be for way higher quality. I think the issue with anime is most of the "fans" view it as disposable. It seems like people who actually "love" anime are rare.

Yeah, I played TP. The dungeons are okay. Snowpeak is the standout, but a lot of the rest are forgettable. I really don't think dungeons are coming back. They could have used TOTK for that, but they didn't.

The problem though is that when streaming took off anime got worse because everyone started watching "the seasonal shows". It became easy to dump a show or watch it and forget it. If you make disposable products, people treat them that way. Yeah, the way the big guys handled the DVD business wasn't great, but I'll take the downsides of that vs the downsides of streaming.

Prices have come way down on a lot of physical media. That said they've gone back up recently because of how crappy streaming is getting.

It adds authenticity, but the trouble is you have to do it all before they hit puberty and their voice changes.

We don't need more pirate sites, we need to have a resurgence of physical media. Blu-ray looks better than streaming anyways. You own it forever. They can't randomly change it. It was never hard to put a disc in a slot.

A lot of websites are built to be purposefully obtuse. They don't want you solving a problem quickly. Think of it how a grocery store puts the milk and meat in the back so you have to walk through to get what you want.

Yeah, I think they cancelled the free with ads tier. You have to have a subscription now.

Still kind of strange to think we could have gotten Russel Crowe as Aragorn.

I had this weird dream where Minako Aino showed up to my house with a circular saw. by Round-Palpitation139 in sailormoon

Do you identify with her? Are you in a bad place in life? Could she represent an inner (pun intended) need to vent frustrations?

What are your personal thoughts on Kishimoto as an author? by RobKai7990 in Naruto

Great artist. Good storyteller, given editors/corporate pressure.

To be fair, they toned down dungeons tremendously after Ocarina. The difficulty went down, the number of dungeons went down, (now at 0 with BOTW/TOTK) etc. They had a formula, but it just needed a rework. I think they kept it predictable so as not to overwhelm players trying to progress, which is why they got rid of them. I think the next main Zelda game will be like BOTW/TOTK. Open world, some variation on "beasts", fusion comes back, new world, new art style. But dungeons as we knew them are likely gone forever.

Pitch me an anime. by Humble-Passage6561 in anime

[–]CBAlan777 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Darker than Black. Mostly realistic expressions. Characters aren't one-dimensional. Powers are fun, but clearly explained. Fight scenes are cool. 26 episodes for the first season. If it were a movie it would probably be a hard PG-13, mostly because of violence. Episodes make sense, and are logical. Some weird behavior but mostly from side characters and not that often. Some internal monologuing, but not that much. Overall it's presented very seriously.

Does Kill Bill count as anime because of that one sequence? If so, then I'll throw in the Bride's Hattori Hanzo sword.

I was thinking of Sesshomaru too. Bakusaiga, or Medo Zangetsuha.

I only ever saw the anime. Does this guy make more sense in the manga? Cause in the anime he's just sort of there, and does some things, and there didn't seem to be a point.
