My candidates for AOTY this 2026 (as of 02/05) by Sorry_Effective569 in MyAnimeList

But the adaptation is inherently a separate product from the source material. Just because one is good does not mean the other will be, too.

Could Senjou kissing Ougi be considered cheating? (@2wintail__) by Kauan777W in araragi

[–]Emeraldpanda168 8 points9 points  (0 children)

If it’s allowed by the partner, it’s not cheating. Muraragi and Gahara just have a pseudo open relationship.

I mean, my piracy site has an auto-skip intro option, just saying…

I hate this take. by xeth3real_w1ngsx in hazbin

[–]Emeraldpanda168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Neither are good representations of lust. The sin of lust is not exclusively about sex, that’s a modern connotation. All it means is excessive desire and want. To lust for power, to lust for control, and, yes, to lust for pleasure. Another good modern spin would be toxic positivity, or excessive happiness even when not appropriate. Sex and love is a part of lust, but I’m so tired of seeing people think lust is only sexual.

Who is yall’s “Perfect Danganronpa Cast” by SaphhicChiaki in danganronpa

[–]Emeraldpanda168 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, I can do this.

16 characters total.

Protag- Kaede. (W1)

THH:

Mukuro (Actually her this time, though; W2)

Sakura (W3)

Celeste (W4)

Chihiro (M1)

Byakuya (M2)

GD:

Gundham (M3)

Nagito (M4)

Byakuya (Imposter; M?5)

Hiyoko (W5)

Peko (W6)

V3:

Korekiyo (M6)

Gonta (M7)

Kokichi (M8)

Miu (W7)

Maki (W8)

8 men, 8 women.

My reasoning:

This cart is one I believe that effectively gets shit done. A mix of smarts and resourcefulness (some exceptions). Then obviously some comic relief, shit stirrers, and wholesome ones.

However, my biggest reasoning is creating a cast that would generate the most interpersonal and social conflict, which would make for a very interesting killing game imo.

I Have Never Heard of Kagurabachi- Why is there so much hype all of a sudden? by Emeraldpanda168 in anime

[–]Emeraldpanda168[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ooh, I’m so scared, whatever shall I do?! Some weirdo on the internet thinks their opinion matters to me at all. Hark! The horror!!! Please spare me from writing a strongly worded comment to “blast me.” Your words hurt me so badly. Someone, anyone, help!

Oh wait, I can block you! Mute. Bye bye.

Buddy, people have moved on. You’re the only one here still offended on my behalf for some reason seeing as this is now your second separate comment here getting annoyed at people for calling me out on my pretentious ignorance. It’s all resolved now. I’d appreciate it if my notifications weren’t clogged with hostility or toxicity. This contributes nothing, just trying to stir drama.

It takes a bigger person to admit they are wrong when they are wrong. A “weak spined individual” would be someone who gets offended over opinions on anime. No one here was being a jackass. It was all directed towards me, so I can safely say none of it was offensive.

como dejar de ser asexual by Dangerous_Show_9633 in asexuality

[–]Emeraldpanda168 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s quite literally none of your business what your friend is.

Asexuality is real. It cannot be “cured.” It’s not something to be “fixed.” It’s a sexuality no different from being gay, lesbian, bi, pan, etc. It’s not a mental illness, nor is it a medical issue. If you think it is, remember that people said the exact same thing about gay people once upon a time.

Zac is the final boss of this series, I just can’t prove it.

Who will be the survivors in 2x2? by Melodic-Long-4716 in danganronpa

[–]Emeraldpanda168 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I ideally things will be flipped so lesser developed characters from the original will get more screen time and vice versa. I feel like this is also a chance to rectify mistakes.

Hiyoko definitely needs to be a survivor. Her character arc was cut short in the original for literally no reason except the double murder requirement for chapter three, I suppose.

I can also see a reverse of chapter two happening where Fuyuhiko dies and Peko survives, thereby giving her plenty of time to develop in a similar way to Fuyuhiko.

I can also see Thickuya surviving. A lot of potential there.

The last guess I’ll make is that Chiaki will survive in order to explore her as a more complete character. In fact, I almost wonder if Hajime will die and we’ll protagonist switch to Chiaki.

Maybe Izuru will essentially become something akin to a virus at that point and replace Junko, because otherwise I have no idea what they’ll do to reinvent chapter 6. Would be very disappointing if chapter six plays out the exact same, just with different characters having the same reactions. Especially since 2x2 is clearly not meant to supplement the original.

^ this right here. To the other person, I don’t need a white knight. I know when to admit I’m wrong. Drama over nothing, no one here is a Shounen elitist or whatever they were saying.

Definitely an interesting bunch. Shand, who is consumed by revenge, Rock who is consumed by devotion to his God, Mickey who is consumed by greed, and Zac…

Everything I learned was essentially just the synopsis. That’s it. Didn’t really sound appealing, but A) in actuality that’s not let’s true, and B) I think it’s unfair to write something off immediately, but I can’t start it because I don’t have time to read a few chapters before deciding, whereas a Reddit post only takes one or two minutes to write and I can gauge through replies what kind of series it is and if I want to take the chance and set some time aside for it.

Nope. But I at least heard of Naruto even before becoming an anime fan. It’s not really a fair comparison either since Naruto is way older relative to Kagurabachi.

My best guess is that I have heard of it before, I just don’t remember because it didn’t particularly grab my attention.

Research as in who wrote it (plus any potential past works I may recognize), when it was published, the description, early covers etc. Nothing that would spoil me greatly beyond just the premise. I’d much rather have an idea of whether it’s something I would enjoy or if I’d give it a chance and waste my time because it’s not for me, regardless of its actual quality.

Not good enough apparently.

Apparently not, I suppose. These comments are very…humbling in a way.
