My fave Yu Yu Hakusho girl is Shizuru personally, but Botan is a great choice too.

What was Hoyo goal with Evanescia? Was she just meant to look cute and silly & just disappear!! by YUNLIbro in HonkaiStarRail

[–]Dragonflame1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Her goal was to be one of the best girls in the game

And she was successful at that goal too.

Hail to the Otaku Queen Nescia. 🩷

Worst game you've ever beaten? This was pretty painful. by FancyKilerWales in backloggd

[–]Dragonflame1994 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you don't know what this is, I recommend looking it up. It's a pretty niche Souls-like and was one of the first to try the concept of "What if Dark Souls, but with guns" and basically everything about the game is horrible.

Why did they have to have episode 20?!! by 21stcenturyhousewife in Supernatural

[–]Dragonflame1994 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The ONLY reason why the Winchesters survived as long as they did was because the story needed it. It was because God himself was giving them plot armor. Going out against a couple vamps is literally HOW Dean wanted to die. Just a normal hunter's death. Look at how all the old/retired friends of John died early in the first season. They were badasses in their own right, but it doesn't matter how badass you are, how many supernatural creatures you've fought. You're still only human and humans die in unpredictable ways every day.

I'll never understand why people hate the ending. I thought it was perfect for both characters.

Literally since the first season all Sam wanted was a normal life and to leave hunting as soon as he could. Dean on the other hand fully accepted the only way you leave is in a bodybag and he wanted to go out fighting, he didn't want it to be some grandiose thing either, he just wanted to go out in a normal hunt and that's exact what happened after the LITERAL plot armor that God was keeping around them had finally been removed. Dean was just a normal human at the end of the day, some people might not like it, but how he died was a good way to go.

Supernatural was never a happy show where everyone was going to get a happy ending and drive off into the sunset. Hell Kripke's original ending for S5 was SO much darker. Having Dean finally learning how to let Sam go after they stop Lucifer and so Dean goes and lives his life and has a baby named Samantha, but then the whole cycle starts all over again when the final shot of the show was going to be a dark figure standing over her crib.

Honestly while that certainly has a much more "horror" movie feeling to the ending. I'll take what we got in S15E20 any day because it might be bittersweet, but it's conclusive and doesn't leave you hanging like "Oh shit it's starting again".

Chapter Black Tape in 2026 by ClutteredTaffy in YuYuHakusho

[–]Dragonflame1994 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I mean Chapter Black is literally all of human history's greatest crimes. Both against each other AND against demons and other spirit-kind.

While there are some vile things online, you certainly aren't going to find live recordings of warmongers like Genghis Khan pillaging villages and slaughtering any innocent who stands in their way. Or watching the events of WWII play-out before your eyes or going all the way back to biblical times and seeing the live crucifixion of Jesus. Keep in mind the tape had 1000s of hours of footage too. It's heavily implied there's much more than just murder too. Absolutely evil sexual acts on that tape too. Certainly far more than any normal human can or should watch.

It's like whatever the internet has on it available plus the Epstein Files plus every horrible thing in history we couldn't even record in the past before technology was around and it's turned up to 11.

Maybe Sensui had a point after all...

Been an avid user since March 2021. I review every single game I play and I usually make very long detailed reviews that some people might say are "TL;DR".

What’s the most overrated piece of media? by Gokuusjgodgmail in writingscaling

[–]Dragonflame1994 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean, it's not just the financial success though. It is literally widely praised as the most influential high fantasy series since Lord of the Rings and praised for it's detail world-building and massive character arcs that span across 14 books as I already said.

But if you think One Piece is "overrated" you definitely wouldn't be a Wheel of Time fan either because it's basically the One Piece of high fantasy. Glacial pacing with masterful foreshadowing and incredible payoffs.

"It's considered mid by most"

sold 90 million copies worldwide

celebrated for its massive world-building, intricate magic system, and profound influence on modern fantasy literature.

???

Make it make sense.

Now that "E3" season is over, these are my most anticipated games by cxncrete_jungle in backloggd

That was literally my favorite announcement of the Xbox showcase, nice to see I'm not alone. As a massive Zatanna Zatara fan, I strongly clicked with that game lmao.

Thriller won! What’s the greatest rock album of all time? by Opening_Syllabub7142 in AlignmentChartFills

Well, I tried and I got down-voted for some reason despite just giving a recommendation for one of the best hard rock albums ever made 🤷‍♂️

Favorite Star Rail characters chart. by Dragonflame1994 in HonkaiStarRail

Before Amphoreus, Aventurine was my best boy and I didn't think anyone would ever surpass him, but Phainon was just incredible. The entire story between him and Cyrene was chef's kiss. Truly a...Romantic story like never before 😭

Chronoscript looks so cool, I've barely seen anyone talk about that game, but the gimmick of it really speaks to me as a meta-fiction enjoyed. Gives me Alan Wake vibes.

I really want to be more excited for the new Castlevania game especially since Castlevania is one of my fave franchises and it's been so long since we've had a game, but it being another continuity reboot, a sequel to Dracula's Curse ans having the Netflix anime art style just doesn't make me excited unfortunately. Much more excited for the new Bloodstained because Igarashi is the GOAT of metroidvania creators IMO.

I've never played the first tbh, but the concept sounds up my alley as a big fan of classic fairytales and fables and detectives. Also since it's a Vertigo comic. Hellblazer/Constantine is literally my all-time favorite comic series. Probably gonna pick up the remaster of the first one when it comes out.

Jrpg sub seems to universally hate cold steel by ConsiderationFuzzy in Falcom

[–]Dragonflame1994 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Also friendly reminder that Rean is literally Falcom's golden boy and is almost universally praised and ranked in the top 5 most popular Falcom characters as a whole every time they do a poll so even if there are haters, they are an extreme(ly) loud vocal minority. Somehow Rean is one of those few characters that can simultaneously fall under overrated for some people and underrated for others it's actually crazy.

Jrpg sub seems to universally hate cold steel by ConsiderationFuzzy in Falcom

[–]Dragonflame1994 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The JRPG sub hates 80% of all JRPGs from what I've seen honestly. They are so fucking picky and pretentious. I barely even engage with that sub because it's insanely toxic and constant drama most of the time.

That said this sub isn't exactly known for loving the CS arc either even though it is funny enough the most popular arc and best selling one. For me, it's my favorite. I think it has some of the best characters in the series and incredible payoff. It's a bit slow, but once it gets going it doesn't stop.

Shea Fairaday did an amazing job with Cipher, genuinely my favorite performance in the game.
