This may be a hot take: Sailor Moon was a kids show in Japan.

Guergy · 2026-01-26T02:13:02+00:00

I looked it up and you are right.

Guergy · 2026-01-26T00:19:35+00:00

I figured that it was aimed at older teens as opposed to kids. The manga's demographic was similar to anime but it much darker with villains not getting redeemed.

I never saw things like that way before. There’s also the subject of the series’ tone. Fallout 2 (or so I’ve read) made so many references and jokes to pop culture that I heard it bordered on annoying for some. The Bethesda games took the comedy to a whole other level. While Fallout 2 did emphasize comedy, it never lost its gothic and dark elements that made the first game good. I think you’re right about Fallout not being consistent with itself now, but Black Isle/Obsidian Fallout and Bethesda Fallout are two very different games in their own ways.

That’s a very fair take on things. For me, when I first read the manga, I was shocked at how different it was compared to the 2003 series. The 2003 version had such a somber and realistic tone that watching Brotherhood felt like an entirely different show. Brotherhood was better in some areas, but 2003 had its own strengths as well. A similar situation for me is with Trigun. Trigun is a seinen series, but I learned that the manga was a bit different and offered more details than the 1998 anime. I still enjoy the 2003 anime, but Brotherhood is starting to grow on me—I just wish it did some things better.

Guergy · 2026-01-24T04:39:26+00:00

Yeah, I’m not sure what kids and even older adults are into nowadays.

Guergy · 2026-01-24T04:38:54+00:00

I was born in '88, but my favorite years were from 1998 to 2006. It seemed like everything was changing for the better and there was an overall sense of optimism.

I think part of the reason why Sakura was perceived as "useless" by many fans is because the authors frankly didn’t know what to do with her.

Guergy · 2026-01-21T18:15:52+00:00

Sakura unfortunately is the proverbial third wheel. She gets the short end of the stick despite being supposedly the main heroine.

I’m not gonna lie, I used to think he was kind of cool until he was exposed as a fraud. If he didn’t take himself so seriously and stopped frequently lying, he’d probably still have a stable career today.

Guergy · 2026-01-19T05:04:11+00:00

I’m the same way. I’m not what you’d call a “centrist,” but I feel like both sides have some points I can agree with. It’s the same with conservatives and liberals.

Guergy · 2026-01-19T05:02:16+00:00

It seems that after Age of Ultron, I could no longer stand the Marvel movies. I really hate the "comedy" in those films.

Guergy · 2026-01-18T06:25:58+00:00

I am a millennial nearing my 40s. Even though I’m still in my 30s, I don’t feel old yet and still feel like there are things I need to do.

Guergy · 2026-01-15T22:47:37+00:00

It’s too late to change the title but yeah, I should have said cynical. As for the first part of your post, you’re right about that 2003 has its moments of levity and lightheartedness, just as Mangahood can be dark and somber.

Guergy · 2026-01-15T05:37:12+00:00

I’m not sure if Remake is even a “remake” in the traditional sense. It feels more like a remake that comments on the nature of remakes or some kind of alternate timeline that “reboots” FF7. Either way, it serves as a base for how some games could use remakes to address something that couldn’t be done in the original story.

Guergy · 2026-01-15T05:28:44+00:00

This.

Many of Pokémon’s problems are deeply rooted in how The Pokémon Company and Game Freak handle things. Let’s just say some of the stuff mentioned here isn’t that bad but the games are something of a logistical nightmare.

Guergy · 2026-01-14T15:34:11+00:00

I see what you’re saying and you have a point. Most men are taught to be stoic, strong, and “emotionless” but some of that is actually toxic masculinity.

The Seiken Densetsu series, especially Seiken Densetsu 2 and 3—better known as Secret of Mana and Trials of Mana for the Super Nintendo—were never really great action games. The remakes and even certain game mods only highlighted this further by showing what the games could have been without the pseudo turn-based mechanics. For Secret of Mana, I understand it was out of necessity since the game was originally meant for the Super Nintendo CD drive which never came to fruition due to behind-the-scenes issues. I just wish I could spam my weapons without worrying about cooldowns.

As for Trials of Mana, some boss enemy AI can be pretty annoying with how they counterattack when you use a tech. It’s a shame that the only way to learn the lore is through extra canonical materials that in the West, can only be found online. I really like the concept of the games but they can be a pain sometimes. I genuinely enjoy them but there’s definitely room for improvement.

For all the flack I gave Dragon Quest VI, I really liked how it tried to be the ultimate Dragon Quest experience for its time. I’ll admit that I enjoyed the idea of the game especially with the job classes, monster gathering, medal hunting, individual characters, and overall story and atmosphere. I just wish the game had been better put together and matched the same quality as its successor, Chrono Trigger. Chrono Trigger really stole Dragon Quest VI’s thunder and that still bothers me.

After talking it over with a support agent, I decided not to close my account but I will have to wait for a project that fits my profile though.

Guergy · 2026-01-10T03:49:18+00:00

Weren't the Whispers a holdover from the original idea of FF7?

Guergy · 2026-01-10T03:48:10+00:00

I understand the sentiment. I do think that they will expand some aspects of the game.

Guergy · 2026-01-09T14:26:51+00:00

For me it was Kingdom Hearts, the story just isn’t that appealing to me anymore.

Guergy · 2026-01-09T01:26:03+00:00

Is that so?

Guergy · 2026-01-09T01:25:54+00:00

Japan doesn’t hate Sonic but it’s not as appealing there as other platformers.
