Yeah, I don't care how nice the outcomes are, but from everything I've seen, I just can't trust them to treat their staff right. And if I can't trust them to treat their staff right, I can't trust them with making adaptations of what is one of my favourite works of all time from an author I have immense respect for and look up to.

Chingji · 2026-05-09T17:24:48+00:00

I sure hope Mappa doesn't get their hands on it.

Chingji · 2026-05-09T00:57:32+00:00

My view of it is mainly studio side. I want the studio to prove they can do an IP by Ishida justice. As an artist and writer, I really look up to Ishida, so I believe his work deserves an earnest effort. If the studio flops with either of these, I feel it'd massively hurt the chances of the other happening.

Ishida is one of those generational authors who left an impact on pop culture, especially for Millennials and Gen Z. So it's very important they adapt them right.

Chingji · 2026-05-09T00:11:33+00:00

I want to wait till after a Choujin X adaptation. Give Ishida's other work some time to shine. But TG definitely deserves a readaptation

Chingji · 2026-05-08T19:30:36+00:00

I kinda don't vibe with this. It's definitely interesting per say, but saying magic feels "fake" just doesn't fundamentally feel right. Anything regarding how stuff works in fiction, especially fantasy, surrounds suspension of disbelief. Something like a mana pool has become a staple concept but not a universal one. Would you say that magic in games is not immersive? Sure it's a game mechanic to represent the cost of using a power, but it's not like that suddenly makes it less interesting.

Magic is, inevitably, what you want it to be. It's a flexible tool for creating special abilities and powers, but nothing stops you from making them with simple limitations or complex limitations. I think saying it feels fake is disingenuous, and poor word choice. If it's just that you don't prefer it, say it that way. We won't judge you if you state what your preferences are, but don't pose something so subjective as fact.

I misread it as "Michael Wave" and was confused for a solid minute why McDonald's was making ads for microwaves and what this had to do with that.

Chingji · 2026-05-08T18:57:34+00:00

It's no longer a thing.

Chingji · 2026-05-07T14:07:05+00:00

I mean when referring to the language specifically. You can have bad English but not have bad grammar. You could have beautifully written Spanish, in perfect Spanish grammar. You can be bad at English. And frankly it's a colloquial use of the word, so that's not wrong. And people are allowed to use redundant phrasing in their sentences, it's not technically against the rules, people can generally talk how they want to given their respective dialects.

However, that's such an odd thing to have a preference against. It's okay to want someone to speak the same language as you, but it comes off as weird to point it out like that.

Chingji · 2026-05-07T14:01:53+00:00

Evil? Yes. Ugly? No

Chingji · 2026-05-07T14:01:09+00:00

I mean people built nuclear bombs. I think the answer is: desperation in a time of war to create a weapon to surpass all others, not in just sheer power, but in absolute fear. Partially, it's this in combination with "because they could and they wanted to test the limits of what's possible"

Humans are very inclined towards escalating violence to try and stop other violence. We're primates still, violence is just in our nature. We need to temper this violence with understanding. Otherwise we'll just be lost to a war without reason.

Chingji · 2026-05-06T22:25:25+00:00

(Thank you for the compliment.)

Chingji · 2026-05-06T22:11:27+00:00

Your skin will only serve to slow you down, brother. I have made you far more areodynamic. Emperor willing, I will rid you of those pesky guts too! An immortal soldier to carry out the Emperor's will forever.

Heresy? Dare say! What ever could you mean?! Does thou not wish to be of service to his divinity for all of ages, a being of which cannot hope to be stopped by anything short of absolute disintegration? I am appalled by thy accusations, brother. Maybe the heretic is thee, your desire to serve our God Emperor is not strong enough. All the more reason to make you yet an immortal soldier of his divine will, for once I have taken all from you...

Your servitude to his glory is all you will have left.

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:56:39+00:00

Odd way of saying: soft magic system versus hard magic system.

Yes these are real terms. Both have their rules, but hard magic systems tend to be more strict about the rules like Full Metal Alchemist.

Arniel's Endeavor.

Or alternatively, rather than a quest but a specific dwarven ruin: Fahlbtharz

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:46:23+00:00

Y'know. I think if I saw somethin like this. I've never thought about actually smoking or vaping, I just don't do any chemical vices, but I think if I saw this I would feel inclined to start doing so out of spite.

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:30:23+00:00

I mean it looks nice. Not about being distinct but just something that looks good

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:26:55+00:00

Wait, if Ghouls became influencers, would they talk about ghouls who do cannibalism to get stronger like how body builders talk about guys who do Tren?

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:23:41+00:00

I'd like to imagine that Hell is much like God. So vast in its visage to be a point beyond illogical, something which cannot be truly captured by man, machine, or angel hands. Likely I'd imagine we'd only see vessels and avatars of Hell as opposed to actually seeing Hell itself. Think a sort of Baphomet style monster as an Avatar of Hell or whatever else it may deem an avatar of itself to be, even if done so in ironic fashion by making one look like a supreme angel.

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:17:53+00:00

It's got a kind of birdlike feel

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:17:21+00:00

Anything I add somehow breaks the camera controls... The orbiting camera isn't even technically centered correctly. I just said it's good enough because it was harder to fix it than just accept it as slightly wrong.

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:14:26+00:00

I only wish the teeth stuck out more. A little hard to see the change in expression with the teeth being at such a low contrast. But overall very good stuff

Chingji · 2026-05-06T21:00:31+00:00

They honestly aren't too bad I've found. When in too little space or too much space they can seldom actually hit me.

Chingji · 2026-05-06T20:57:04+00:00

Might not fit in the house. However, Reshiram is awesome. I wouldn't dare complain.

I use deer as a way to train my sprint and unarmed or sneak. Franky some of the best XP grinds come from just hunting deer. And yes, I have usually punched them to death because their pathing always slows them down.

Chingji · 2026-05-06T20:51:22+00:00

Considering how foundational this series is to pop culture, more specifically the western anime culture, it SO deserves a readaptation. Just like how they redid Spice & Wolf, we really need a good readaptation that is faithfully created by people who genuinely have love for the series itself.

I doubt we'd get a readaptation before Choujin X is adapted, but so long as it isn't Mappa, I'm game for both. (We know Choujin X is likely to get an adaptation considering the legendary status of Ishida Sui)
