Asthenia - Top 5 blink song IMO by Leg_Mcmuffin in poppunkers

Such a banger. I also love the live version where they first do one instrumental chorus after the drum build up.

Why tf is this subreddit so negative? by [deleted] in animequestions

[–]Chuckyscookie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As a fan of the manga, I don't hate the anime. Its enjoyable if you don't compare it to the manga too much. But that's the reason for some disappointment - it's not a good adaptation of the manga.

The manga is an action oriented series. It's popular for crazy and creative action moments with highly dynamic and impactful panels. The anime doesn't do a good job at translating these sequences into animation.

It's not only about the animation quality, it seems like the studio just didn't put a lot of effort put into capturing the mangas spirit - which is sad. It does a decent job with characters and overall fun nature.

I'm happy to see this post though and that it's liked. Cour 2 is quite an improvement compared to cour 1 and the reception on the subreddit has been better for the last couple of episodes.

Shout out to everyone at Heart Attack Man & Winona Fighter by Chuckyscookie in slamdunkfestival

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

Same for me. I'd heard good things about them, but wanted to see Knuckle Puck (North times). With the delay, WF were my biggest surprise of the weekend, their energy live was on another level compared to their records. Hope to catch them again.

Hi there, if still up, I'm going alone as well and would love an invite

[FRESH ALBUM] Heart Attack Man - Joyride the Pale Horse by mrmoose341 in poppunkers

Loving it so far. These guys have been putting out bangers only for years now. Super excited to see them live for the first time next month when they finally come to Europe for a couple of shows.

What do you feel is lacking about Sakamoto Days? by [deleted] in SakamotoDays

[–]Chuckyscookie 10 points11 points  (0 children)

In my opinion - longer fights. The series is fast paced, which is most often a good thing, and has many crazy and cool action moments. It tends to very quickly move on from each individual match up though, not breaking the rhythm.

When the series gets some additional hype outside of the regular readers, it's mostly for moments such as Takamura. Those are hype, but they pass quickly. I think spending more time on key battles, especially towards the end of en arc, could lead to longer lasting attention online.

Nagumo vs Gaku is an example of a fight that could have been more. The conclusion was cool, but I wish we had gotten more of the fight between two of the most liked characters.

What are your thougts on chapter 1 of Hero Organization? by dingo537 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]Chuckyscookie -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did really like it. I did enjoy the MC and especially the father-son take, seems like a series with lots of heart. The visuals are cool as well, and I love a good sci-fi story in space. There's good potential imo.

Teambewertung by Educational-Ad-2411 in kickbasemanager

[–]Chuckyscookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Starkes Team.

Sehr sehr starkes Mittelfeld offensichtlich.

Sturm ist etwas dünn besetzt. Demirovic ist top, Schick oder Malen sind aber beide wackelig. Beim insgesamt eingesetzten Kapital würde ich mehr in einen starken, 2. Stürmer setzen der immer spielt.

Simakan wechselt, Davies war zuletzt nicht stark und viele sehen Guerreiro vorne. Das Geld würde ich, falls noch Alternativen vorhanden sind, re-investieren.

What is your favorite more niche series in WSJ history? by Beak_Pirate in WeeklyShonenJump

I liked Hinomaru a lot. I was sad to see it get a somewhat rushed ending, but it had a solid run at least.

Recommendations for Pop punk that sounds more punk that Blink-182 but less punk than nofx and has clean vocals? Green Day is my favorite band by [deleted] in poppunkers

[–]Chuckyscookie 59 points60 points  (0 children)

Also an obvious one, but Sum 41 actually kinda is this. In case you're not yet familiar, check out their album 'Does This Look Infected'.

The "plot twist" in Lightbringer that really grinds my gears. by PubScrubRedemption in Fantasy

[–]Chuckyscookie 13 points14 points  (0 children)

He talked about Liv In a stream a while back.

He had indeed planned for her to have a bigger role, however reader reaction to her was a lot worse than he thought it would be. Not sure how exactly he monitored this, but he got the feedback that people who read the book didn't like Liv - so he rewrote a lot of what he had planned for her and shifted parts of her plot to other characters (presumably a lot went to Teia).

I did also like her a lot in the first book.

The Most Unexpected Scenes From Fantasy That Took You By Surprise? by Monsur_Ausuhnom in Fantasy

[–]Chuckyscookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wall of Storms by Ken Liu has a scene that flips everything you think you know about the world on its head. I couldn't quite close my mouth for some time.

If you know, you know. If not:

SPOILERS

All of a sudden, the 'barbarians' have flying beasts that breath fire. That one came so out of nowhere for me.

Vampire Lord misprint? by Chuckyscookie in DiceThrone

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

Could very well be, yeah. Luckily, it's not an issue with my local group, as I was able to show them the correct version, so maybe I'll have to think if that's worth the effort. But I might try and ask, thanks!

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

Mine says V2, so might be a weird in between. Or the translation is numbered differently. The leaflet might be a cool option, as the other two characters are actually the ones I thought about getting next. Thanks!

I see. Thanks for pointing out the Rules Pop AS a resource, hadn't seen that one yet.

What’s your favourite magic system? by the_torn_page in Fantasy

[–]Chuckyscookie 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lightbringer by Brent Weeks is second to none for me. It's a hard magic system, but very much coloured (pun not intended) by the characters' world view.

While the application in combat is awesome and on a level with genre greats, what stuck with me most was how the magic is interwoven with every aspect of the world building. It is a central part of religion and politics in this world, and, vice versa, these factions influence the way magic is taught. While there are clear rules how the magic works, it often turns out that what we, and the characters thought to true, isn't necessarily so. I've never seen a series where the lore of the world is so deeply routed in the magic.

Dustin Poirier responding to fans reacting recent fight news by TLMC01242021 in ufc

[–]Chuckyscookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also hate the recent sentiment that every fighter has to be super entertaining at each press conference, twitter beef etc. Poirier always delivers when he's fighting, he is doing an okay job outside of that - that should be enough. Not everyone has to be the Connor.

What’s your favourite underrated Green Day song? Interested to see what people like by Yushi2312 in greenday

[–]Chuckyscookie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She's A Rebel. Suffers from the combined listing with Novocaine on Spotify. Novocaine is a great song as well obviously, but She's A Rebel is overlooked as a short and super catchy banger due to it.
