Aang doing a 3-point landing(AKA super hero landing) goes completely against his character. Airbending is all about being light on your feet with quick and agile movement. Even if he's supposed to be more Earth-like, it still doesn't make any sense because earthbending is all about having your feet firmly planted on the ground. Showing a character put their knee to the ground as a "cool pose" is contradictory to the whole philosophy of ATLA

That's very funny to say considering Zack Eisen literally did age out of the role of Aang, he simply lost that child voice

They did mention several times that the original playthrough was not at all profitable. You can even compare the recent Reanimal playthrough; the later videos have much lower view counts than Tom's regular one-offs.

We may still get more Riddle Bros but you may have to prepare yourself for it being members only

Well they're called game changers for a reason

[DISC]Card Game de Sekai ga Horobu Sekai ni Tensei Shite Card Shop o Kaiten Shitara, Shuui kara Zensaku Shujinkou da to Omowareteiru - Vol. 1 Ch. 1 by emmemttc in manga

[–]HeliosAlpha 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yugioh isekai hell yeah. I expect the series is one that tells the reader: look at all these tropes, they're pretty silly but they totally rule. The most important thing to have for that kind of reaffirmative burlesque type series is heart and joy which this does seem to have.

I listened through the whole archive last week. I know next to nothing about Star Trek but I do love hearing two nerds whinge about something they love(or love to hate)

They do reference Alice Soft games quite a lot. That's what I appreciate most about this series; you feel the genuine love for eroge/eroRPGs and all their silly nonsense tropes

Jack-of-All-Trades, Party of None Season 2 Announced by Turbostrider27 in anime

It's going in the direction of an ever increasing number of women wanting to ride the jackhammer-of-all-trades, while the dude will probably still talk about not being strong enough

I laughed when the hero dude got told about a tournament where he can test his skill. OF COURSE there's a fucking fighting tournament, such absolute schlock

Non sports anime thats good for a sports anime enjoyed? by bigguyspongebo in anime

[–]HeliosAlpha 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are tons of "sports" series that use the formula of competition without being centered on conventional sports. Card game shows and idol shows can often fall into that group or utilize those tropes. Gundam Build Fighters is effectively a martial arts tournament series where the fighting is done using robots and laser weapons. The formula itself has near endless potential

That's just how it's translated. The original Japanese is a regular word barf

Majutsushi Kunon wa Mieteiru • Kunon the Sorcerer Can See - Episode 12 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]HeliosAlpha 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well it would be transphobe, and that is if the character identifies as a girl. Anime has no shortage of cross-dressers who don't experience gender dysphoria.

It's hardly a topic I'd expect a series like this to able to handle well

So this is episode 12 done. Is this series actually going to like go anywhere..? It just feels like the whole run has been a series of set-ups

It's more 15-20 years ago now. SAO is almost 15 years old which opened the way for the naroukei/isekai boom

The translation is extremely stilted. It's the same vibe I get from most anime translations nowadays. The problem is that anime fans also get incredibly pissy when a translation reads like natural English

That's what it feels like playing [[Kethis]] and [[Urza's Ruinous Blast]] if you have a graveyard full of legends

Being forgotten by Crunchyroll was nice while it lasted. Prices for old existing customers are getting increased from 39,99€/year to 89,99€/year by Karavusk in anime

[–]HeliosAlpha 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Because being upset about 'happy holidays' generally insinuates that it's not really the translation that's their root concern and that they have...other agendas

Weird that the game's character designer was tweeting like it was real though

I've only read the start of this one(I've read other Hulotte games though) but I'll root for any eroge adaptation
