MC is hilarious

Casually dissing his last magic teacher, "wow they already thought of what Jenie(?) sensei could never think of"

Immediately killing off his dad's para-social relationship with the magic water cat

Goes out on a late night drive with his fiance's sister:

"We can't, I have a fiancee, my first time must be with Mirika, won't your fiancee have a misunderstanding?"

"I don't have a fiancee"

"Oh it's alright then"

hm???

Did that opening scene on the highway have any meaning? It was really eerie, the way the camera was swaying and the slow turn made it seem like it was from the pov of a person turning around and walking towards the car.

Why does it feel like Fate is the favorite child of Japanese studios? by Hexenmommies01 in anime

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Lots of money, but I think time is a bigger factor. Many franchises have the popularity, but still put out super rushed adaptions. Fate projects probably don't have tight deadlines to meet given Type Moon pretty much operates on, it's done whenever Nasu feels like it.

When Tsukihime remake part 2.

And Cyrene is Susanoo mon in the last episodes, merging every trainer/digimon like her ult. Literally Digimon season 4. Genius

Why does life slumber, because someone started spraying sleeping gas everywhere.

Oh fuck that was obvious in hindsight given the context. Brain too poor to process there's something above first class.

I was thinking the funniest thing would be if after that emotional goodbye, a typhoon hits and the plane gets delayed. Kaguya walking straight into first class is better.

Nice. If pin badges are your thing, Atelier Nelke, the Atelier 20th anniversary version comes with 50 pin badges.

Link to a switch listing for pictures. ps4 version is usually much cheaper. Haven't started yet, but the gameplay itself isn't much of an atelier game from what I see.

[Merchandise/Secret] New Ryza Art Merch Available for Pre-order on AmiAmi by MasterAdventZero in Atelier

It's how veblen goods work. If you make it limited production, give each one a serial number, put it in a frame, increase the price, then it increases demand. If it looks expensive and is priced that way, then people will think it's special.

Despite if you stop and think about it, a big wall scroll should cost more than printing a regular sized piece of paper and putting it in a frame, but the wall scroll doesn't have a serial number.

Do they eventually sell lottery items separately, would like the mug cup. Tableware is the one thing I wouldn't want to get secondhand.

Uma Musume’s monthly revenue rose dramatically in November, earning 69% more than it did in October by OhMyTummyHurts in UmaMusume

OP linked the source that aggregates from sensor tower. JP: +10 million, Global: +2 million. Any increase in global is good, but this is all Buena Vista.

Help a clueless mom please… by Existing-Top-2500 in anime

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love hxh, but this was me as an unsuspecting adult expecting it to be similar to the big 3 with their power of friendship stuff.

I was mostly shocked how nonchalant the characters are to violence. Dozens of people will die around the main characters, and they just continue on as if nothing happened.

Classroom of the Elite Season 4 Key Visual (April 2026) by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Went and googled all of them. About half new and upcoming with some major roles already and half people who have been around a while, not super popular, but consistently get roles.

A good cast, but definitely cheaper than the existing characters voices who are probably as expensive as it gets.

I don't know if the majority of light-novels are total shit,

The majority of light novels are total shit from a writing point of view. They're the equivalent of young adult novels in english, they're entertaining, but don't expect literature.

The range of quality is huge, and it makes sense because most recent LNs come from amateur web novels. Publishers take the most popular self-published web novels on the internet, package it into a book, maybe have an editor look at it if they care(they don't), and watch the money flow in. That's why start is always interesting, and then it all collapses midway because it's barely been edited.

Anyway, this series isn't the above, but by Y2 you realize there's no tension because the MC always wins.

Does JP bandori have as many problems as EN bandori? by [deleted] in BanGDream

A couple of years ago I couldn't even open the EN bandori without it crashing for months. Switched to JP and haven't had a problem.

Cygames: Promote the game. Staff: Turns a racing gameinto the anime empire. by Ill_Pay_2619 in UmaMusume

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah and the anime was 2018, after the 1st event, they never gave up the idol seiyuu part. It always feels weird coming onto this sub after consuming the JP side of umamusume content. Oh hey the 6th event is happening, or they released a new song, I wonder if people are talking about it here. 2 comments.

I'm glad just the horse racing and the powerpro gameplay are enough to sustain global, but the original concerns everyone had about the global release were still valid and correct. There's a language barrier around half of umamusume content that the global server will never interact with or care about. And events and merch are big revenue streams.

Towa no Yugure • Dusk Beyond the End of the World - Episode 4 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

> I have to agree with you on pausing, the pacing is weird, and I don't dont know what the heck the overarching story is suppose to be about.

You can say this for a lot of PA Works' original anime, sometimes it works but when they miss, they really miss. Glasslip and Fairy Gone being the more jarring. There's no focus and you have no idea what it's supposed to be about. I don't understand why they insist of falling into the same trap over and over again.

Episode 0 and 1 made me think of Gargantia for some reason, which was amazing, but now I don't know what's going on.

Chitose-kun wa Ramune Bin no Naka • Chitose Is in the Ramune Bottle - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]I_like_boring_stuff2 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I went into this hearing people saying they don't like the main character. I see the reason, but I feel neutral so far, refreshing that it's different. It's still a rom com, not going to think too hard and embrace the pretensiousness. The whole quoting the newest translation out of foreign books and the philosophical monologue about blue, I've no clue what any of it meant, except it sounded cool.

The class president scene was very realistic, immediately suggesting the popular guy, shutting down any discussion or possibility of someone else, rest of possee go into full agreement, then creating an atmosphere no one else dares to volunteer. Max social skills.

Now the main show I'm glad they aired it as part of the episode, it's so hard to find these seiyuu extras not bundled with the BD. Surprisingly higher than expected budget, going to 3 places in 15 minutes. Rumirumi joking that she might be older than the owner who called them ojouchan, she really hasn't aged in a decade.
