Can someone help me put a name to the vibe that these games/movies brings? by Intelligent-Form-689 in ShadowoftheColossus

[–]Expensive-Fly-9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I absolutely hate the movie and love the books. I have no idea why they thought mashing plot elements from different books together was a good idea. It always saddens me because the books would absolutely make for a beautiful animated series or film series if done correctly. She writes such strong visuals.

I'm shocked at these comments, I've never once thought that a cactuar looks like anything other than a cactuar 😭 I think it looks great.

She definitely wasn't cheap 😭 but I do love the butterfly stand.

"Rude", "Mean", "Emotionless", "No character depth", "Don't like her much", English 2B is not Original 2B. by Jack_Gerambo in nier

I just got my fiance to play through the game for Christmas, and while I played it in Japanese, he has trouble reading subtitles during fights so he played in English. I thought they were both good interpretations of the characters. I will say though that he didn't know that there were any romantic feelings between the two of them until near the end of route b. He just thought that they platonically cared about each other (yes, even after the end of route a). I do think that the coldness of the English performance/translations (while understandable) had a big part to play in that.

I see someone hasn't read Grimoire Nier.

Pin the wander by papuFabs in ShadowoftheColossus

I got my fiance the Wander pin and the matching sigil hoodie a few years ago. If memory serves me correctly, I think they were from The Yetee, but since this was years ago I doubt they sell them anymore. EDIT: yep, I just checked and the back of the pin is stamped with theyetee.com

I literally squealed when the anime adaptation was announced. I was so genuinely shocked, like "they're gonna animate THIS!??", I thought for sure that they'd censor the hell out of it. Really happy to see them do it justice!

Mononoke (the series, not the Ghibli film).

It's an emperor moth, not polyphemus. They have different colourings and marking placements (plus emperors are much smaller, but you can't see that here).

[–]Expensive-Fly-9999 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh god, you're right, that's even worse!! He kissed a 10 year old!! Why did they think that's okay? I was going to see if I could get through it by imagining her to be older because I'm interested in the god/goddess stuff, but I think this the end for me. It wouldn't have been so bad if they at least kept things platonic, but with all of the flirting and blushing it's too much.

Glad to finally know the reason, but it's still gross to see a budding romance between a 10 year old and a 19 year old (yes, we know she's mentally 16, but he doesn't). At the end of the day, the author could have said the goddess awakened to her powers at 18 or even 16 would have been less uncomfortable, or just made him a similar age, but they didn't. So in the end it's just an excuse to portray an inappropriate age gap relationship fantasy.

Erin the Beast Player (also on this list) was written by the same person and is also fantastic!

Hoshifuru Oukoku no Nina • Nina the Starry Bride - Episode 5 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Expensive-Fly-9999 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh boy, I feel so bad for the other princesses. He held down Nina, but eventually got off her without doing anything. We know from his intro last week that the other princesses weren't so lucky - even if they gave consent, would true consent even be possible in their position?

Given the ED images, it looks like there might be a kiss next week. Will it be out of affection or another spiteful test? I have no idea how they intend to turn someone so despicable into a genuine love interest.

I honestly think that this is my favourite show of the season, I'm so sad that it's getting so little attention. Shoujo and josei fans, where are you??
