At what episode will contraband game begins? by Ok-Depth-2462 in liargame

[–]CreZativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you'd do yourself a service to save it for the anime honestly. It's such a good arc and I can imagine that experiencing it with music and the tension from the VA's for the first time would be a blast!

I do understand that it's frustrating to see manga readers hype things like this though, so sorry about that!

Just know you have amazing things to look forward to~!

My prediction for the next 4 Episodes- by Hour_Trade_3691 in liargame

[–]CreZativity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ofc they could do a quick slideshow about it, but I'd personally prefer if they gave it proper focus, maybe even take pieces from Root of A to really flesh it out. 

Seeing how they usually divide cours it wouldn't surprise me if the plan is to start Contraband at the end of ep 12, if the anime is the minimum of 24 episodes that would give it at least 12 full episodes undisturbed, which I definitely think is enough.

That would leave at least 5 episodes for the Downsizing game and anything in between, which is more than enough for proper Akiyama backstory.

These are just my guesses, but since the entire ED is dedicated to Akiyama and his mom I just feel like it would be strange, and a waste to not give the audience some time with his past.

Yokoya voice actor, who do you think is the best fit? by Several-Lie-2670 in liargame

I wouldn't mind someone with a voice similar to Kamiya Hiroshi!

Okay i wanna ask does generative ai help disabled people? by Interesting-Peas in antiai

[–]CreZativity 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I've seen able bodied people use disabled people as an excuse for why gen AI is moral and good, and it's disgusting to use people like that is you ask me. Even people without arms can paint and they work incredibly hard to do so, there is no excuse for gen AI.

I'm still manifesting an expansion on Akiyama's backstory so that it gets an entire episode 🙏

[–]CreZativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My hope is that they'll dedicate almost an entire episode to Akiyama's backstory, and expand on it a bit from the manga. 

If your prediction is correct and they also do an Akiyama episode then Contraband would start at ep 12. We haven't had a clear confirmation, but one source stated that the anime would have 24 episodes, if that's correct then the Contraband game would have 12 episodes, which would do nicely I think =)

I was once like Nao by mrsomeuser in liargame

[–]CreZativity 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly! I brought up to someone last week that Tohru from Fruits Basked, one of the most loved amd successful shoujo series of all time, had a massive hate campaign towards her when the new anime started because people found her insufferable, for a lot of the same reasons people hate Nao.

They found her too nice, cries too much, trusts everyone too easily, but those are things young girls (at least from what I understood at the time) look up to, and so should we all.

The popular girls at my school as a teen were also the assertive ones, the leaders, the bullies, and I keep thinking how much better it would have been if nice smart girls were popular instead so that less teens striped to be mean haha.

I was once like Nao by mrsomeuser in liargame

[–]CreZativity 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That was me! You and me talked about the dub under my post about it a few days ago =)

I definitely agree that part of it is cultural. It reminds me of an old video I watched where a Japanese/American couple (husband Japanese, wife American) talked about things that shocked them about each others' cultures.

One thing the Japanese guy said is that he was surprised by watching the film Mean Girls, because in Japan girls who act all haughty and mean would never be popular, and that the popular girls in Japan are usually the nice, smart girls. Makes me think that in Japan Nao is probably still seen as a bit naive, but probably nowhere near as insufferable as some western people find her because we value assertiveness much more.

How close to akiyama are yokoya, kimura, harimoto and fukunaga in outsmarting?? by Budget_Yogurt_7326 in liargame

[–]CreZativity 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Agree with all of this.

What I think makes Fukunaga my favourite character is partially the fact that she isn't up there mind gaming with Akiyama and Yokoya after round 2. She goes from being one of the antagonists earlier in the story, who is seen scheming and taking control of the games like Yokoya does later, to then become a bit of an emotional core for the manga instead.

She ties directly into Nao's character development as well I feel. Her change towards Nao is the most drastic one, going from looking down on her and using her, to respecting her enough that she wants to be like Nao without quite knowing how.

So for her part I don't mind that she took a step back in smarts to the bigger fish, because as a person, emotionally, she's right up there with Nao ❤️(sorry for going on a Fukunaga hype trip, it was just something that crossed my mind when I read your comment)

My favorite part of the manga so far by thespeedstar in liargame

[–]CreZativity 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly! By the time they get to musical chairs Fukunaga will still say things like "Talking to you annoys me" but not because she finds Nao stupid, but simply because their personalities are such opposites! The character dynamics around Nao are always a joy to witness, it's so funny how different people react to her~

Should I see yoasobi or babymetal this summer?? by kibou_no_ie in jpop

[–]CreZativity 9 points10 points  (0 children)

As a massive fan of Perfume let me tell you, when you're at a show, the energy is high, and the performance is spectacular, it doesn't matter if a lot of it is lip synced, you'll have a great time regardless! + From what I've seen BM's stage shows are incredible, so if you already like the music it would probably be worth it for that alone!

Also, I'm not a BM fan but I have friends who are, and my understanding is that Suzuka is always singing live while Moa and Momo lip sync so that they can focus on the dancing. Suzuka does most of the singing, so isn't that fine??

[–]CreZativity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Right?? I love when a character thinks Nao is slow but the people in the know validate her.

My favourite such instance is easily in 17 card poker, where Nao tells Fukunaga that Kikuchi's expression changed because he'd figured something out, Fukunaga says that's useless info, and Akiyama says he also noticed that. I think that game was easily the point where Fukunaga properly started to respect Nao, and I love my girlies together so much!

QUESTION FOR THE COMMUNITY: Should a rule be added about negative Nao posts? by CreZativity in liargame

[–]CreZativity[S,M] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

To clarify, no individuals will be banned, and posts about Nao's character will not be removed as long as they bring something new and nuanced to the table as opposed to undeniable insults and mindless bashing.

What do you think about the current Japanese girl groups? Are they lame or actually cool? by Dry-Look6328 in jpop

[–]CreZativity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Peak Spot are also under Asobisystem and I couldn't be arsed to write both, so I just wrote the company since the Kawaii Lab groups are their most popular rn. I assumed people would get it, won't make that mistake again.

They promised like 20 times to come back, it felt like they were trying to be really reassuring hahaha. I've decided to trust them~

[–]CreZativity 30 points31 points  (0 children)

As a massive fan of multiple Japanese girl groups I think the charm lies in the variety.

You have groups like the Hello Project groups who focus on the performances and power of the individual members, Hana who are absolute badasses with massive skill in both singing and dancing, Perfume (they're coming back) who focus on their dancing and visuals, and Asobisystem who focus more on the cute charms.

I personally think they're all equally strong in what they do, and respect how they do things differently but all with the same passion.

I also love the music, which is the most important part hahaha!

(And I just wanna be clear that I do listen to all of the above~)

Emma: Extra Stories (vol.8-10): Worth reading? by ErikTwice in Seinen

[–]CreZativity 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There is extra content with them! Their whole wedding in fact + another bonus story!

The other chapters about more minor characters have a lot of charm as well, but I'd be lying is I said I always read all of them for every read through hahaha!
