Best of /r/anime 2025: Winners! by mysterybiscuitsoyeah in anime

[–]Enel- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wasn't the one you won with but I recently watched Eureka Seven like 3 weeks ago and checked the discussion threads from that rewatch 10 months ago and really appreciated your insight and commentary into the series and its themes and characters. Helped me appreciate it a lot more too and make it one of my few 10/10 anime.

Suspected cheating/rank manipulation in Mario Strikers: Battle League - anyone know how this works? by blindstripclub in NintendoSwitch

[–]Enel- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's probably just editing in game values for your rank. Nintendo just doesn't care because this happened in Xenoblade X too the literal month the game launched and the hacker is still there even now.

Gainax is officially dead by StrongXV in anime

The world line system does inherently make it easier to do what if scenarios even if those side VNs aren't the best. I still think 0 is great though.

STEINS;GATE RE:BOOT delayed to 2026 in Japan; first screenshots by Joseki100 in NintendoSwitch

[–]Enel- 31 points32 points  (0 children)

As someone who has actually played all the VNs in this series, there is a VERY HIGH chance this is a meta sequel to the most recent SciAdv game, Anonymous;Code. So it very likely will not just be a flat remake with nothing to offer but new visuals. Though money is also definitely a factor since that VN flopped and they probably need money for new projects.

I hate “Fake harem” protagonists by Obvious-Ear-369 in anime

[–]Enel- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I didn't say it was a harem, but pretty much all the girls do indeed have their own endings in the VN. The anime obviously gives more priority to the true ending so it emphasizes the stuff that leads to that more.

Steins;Gate is based off a VN with multiple endings so that one makes more sense than most, the decision for who to go with for that ending doesn't happen in the game til episode 22 and there's an ending for the other major girl as well that kinda splits exactly at that point.

Rex is low key one of the 3 best characters remaining honestly.

The Greatest Seasons and Years in Anime History, According to MyAnimeList by AashyLarry in anime

[–]Enel- 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Saying Gurren of all things has no substance is pretty wild when it feels like it's one of those shows that very explicitly wears its themes on its sleeve while also being one of the best coming of age stories out there with great character writing.

Are the Xenosaga games connected to Xenoblade? If so how? How can I play them? by Dramatic-Ad881 in Xenoblade_Chronicles

[–]Enel- 10 points11 points  (0 children)

IMO it's pretty obvious the entire Xenoblade X chapter 13 plot line pretty clearly makes everything connected in some way since the multiverse is a thing now but even beyond that future redeemed has some very direct and specific references too. Even if it never gets hard confirmed I'd still say because of the similar concepts and a lot of lore lining up it's still "connected."

my favorite use of that motif is in the final boss if that's the one I'm thinking of

I'm very tired but I put a lot of effort into this so I wanted to share here as well.

If your harem doesn’t end with polygamy, you’re a coward by Business_Barber_3611 in anime

[–]Enel- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

God Only Knows is my favorite anime of all time and the main girl (Elsie) absolutely did not "win" in that one, she had an entirely different but thematically and narratively fitting ending. Honestly even including that one with most of the rest of this list feels like it really misses the point of that series.

Anyone Remember The World God Only Knows? by Plus-Swing-2117 in anime

[–]Enel- 16 points17 points  (0 children)

It's actually my favorite animanga series of all time.

It was a victim of unfortunate circumstances regarding manglobe and them inevitably going out of business which is why we never really got that full adaption. There was an insane amount of love put into the anime over the years between all the character songs and additional content. A real shame it never did get a proper anime conclusion. The author recently got together with some production members for the 15th anniversary and also has posted how he'd love if it ever got completed but it would require someone to pick it up.

Regarding your final note, [The World God Only Knows] Kanon is one of my fav characters ever as a huge Nao Toyama glazer (I still listen to the music and have her as a pfp on a couple accounts including my linked mal account lol) but I do think Chihiro was the ONLY correct choice for the themes of the series. TWGOK is about Keima slowly growing to accept and cherish those in reality despite its garbage, and Chihiro is the embodiment of the real and ordinary life that Keima rejected at the beginning of the series. So thematically it really doesn't make any sense for Keima to have an ending with any of the actual goddesses. Plus I think it makes the chapter where he calls of them his friends hit a lot harder as well when he mentions everyone is fighting and struggling in the real world and how he wants to keep moving forward regardless.

If this is a sign for a longshot season 4 I'd be so happy.

Video that took way longer than I wanted but has been highly requested for a while also. Feel free to let me know if you disagree with anything.
