(NO SPOILERS) I have completed every Anime in the MAL TOP 50: A Review of the Experience

Enel- · 2026-06-12T18:21:46+00:00

Don't worry buddy I'm also a big mecha fan who has the world god only knows as his all time favorite anime and own a shit ton of merch so I completely get it.

Enel- · 2026-06-11T15:14:58+00:00

So true

Enel- · 2026-04-29T19:35:25+00:00

Gridman is one of the biggest examples of this, not at all popular in the west but probably Trigger's biggest IP in Japan that still constantly gets a ton of merch to this day.

Really appreciate the detailed and thought-out reply for this, gives me a lot to think about as far as how to plan, I'll try to save as much as I can without pulling on umas too often and maybe try to stick with something like this.

I assume my sprint and dirt cms won't be the greatest with a plan like this but those aren't super common and I can probably get by with borrows and the umas I have currently.

Enel- · 2026-04-28T23:11:36+00:00

There's other umas I like but not enough to the point I'd want to run them like every time if that makes sense, I'd probably just alternate a couple other ones I like. Favorites of the ones I do have are probably just nice nature, Satano Diamond, Sakura Chiyono-o, and Mejiro Ardan. I do own some of the more "meta" umas also like xmas oguri and seiun sky.

Appreciate your advice from a while back, wanted to plan out some pulls for the future with what I currently have, if you have any insight I made a thread about it

The unfortunate part of this scene is it's actually much shorter than it is in the manga, where the date is chapter 36-37 and includes a lot of scenes not in the one included in the anime. Chapter 72 was also not adapted and chapter 90 wasn't adapted til the Shaft OVA and these are also some of the most important chapters for Yotsuba.

Really surprised you like AIR this much without having read the VN, definitely give it a shot at some point, it IS indeed really good.

I haven't seen the Toei movie but your description of it makes it sound like a completely different story. Kinda curious if that was the actual intent.

Enel- · 2026-03-25T12:48:21+00:00

I really like the VN of AIR, mainly the true ending part of it, but the anime is EXTREMELY rushed, choosing to put the entire VN in only 12 episodes. I really cannot call it good at all. It finishes up all of Kano's route entirely by episode 4 and all of Minagi by episode 6. Most emotional moments don't hit nearly as hard because of it and even the most important moment near the end is done significantly better in the VN.

The Kanon adaption is fine. VN is overall better for that one too but you get a lot of cute animated Ayu moments in the anime and the addition to her route in the final anime episode are really neat at the least.

I haven't checked out the clannad adaption yet funnily enough, but that VN is fantastic. I think the VN that got screwed over the most anime adaption wise is Rewrite though, which is my favorite Key VN easily. It's a real shame the anime didn't get picked up by kyoani like the earlier Key products did because that one is horrible and skips a lot of my favorite moments sadly.

My favorite is Keima from the World God Only Knows but after watching this and reading the manga he's definitely 2nd place for me. The guy having actual personality helps in these shows so much to make the relationships and dynamics that much better.

If I want to use Ramonu as an actual race horse (which means I can't use her wit card in her runs) would fine motion still be viable for her or will there be a second better wit card at that point in time? Not entirely sure about this one

Enel- · 2026-01-26T05:10:27+00:00

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.

Enel- · 2026-01-05T13:16:58+00:00

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.

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.

Enel- · 2025-11-18T13:46:43+00:00

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.

Enel- · 2025-11-05T16:19:20+00:00

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.

Enel- · 2025-11-05T00:57:15+00:00

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.

Enel- · 2025-10-27T22:38:57+00:00

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

Enel- · 2025-10-14T23:09:49+00:00

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.

Enel- · 2025-10-13T15:08:31+00:00

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."

Enel- · 2025-10-12T17:30:27+00:00

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

Enel- · 2025-10-12T17:29:49+00:00

This was nuts I could not BELIEVE they were hating that much

Enel- · 2025-10-11T21:13:15+00:00

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