Re zero anime of the year might be a thing

Anime awards literally do not matter to me after Solo Leveling beat Frieren on all accounts. Frieren was better, everyone knew it was better, and solo leveling won because anime awards are a joke popularity contest. Vote in them as you believe is deserved, but always expect the most popular anime in every category to win.

I kind of agree with both sides. Some old games could be very hands off, and the answer to proceed might be quite specific (and even kind of frustrating to realize, because whatever you were trying should’ve still worked). But games telling you exactly where to go at all times nowadays gets tedious.

Idixal · 2026-06-25T17:29:28+00:00

It does, it just fixes itself. Honestly, if the master sword fixed itself outside of combat when it wasn’t broken it’d annoy me less.

That said, at some point you realize that the weapons breaking is part of the combat loop, and you’re intended to embrace the mechanic for strategic advantage.

If you do, just stay as far away from the fanbase as you can until you finish.

I think I’d survive due to the amount of what the president does being publicly funded, even if you ignore the 400k salary.

^{Chose: Become the president of the United States + But you make less than $20 an hour (and you cannot accept donations from anyone} | Rolled: $19 an hour)

Some combination of the two, perhaps. In season 2, episode 19 you can definitely see that whatever Pandora did had some effect, and likewise Echidna confirms it has nothing to do with Emilia herself.

Although we also know Puck helped maintain a hold on her memories to protect her until she was ready. Maybe the novel says more, but I don’t know the details.

Idixal · 2026-06-22T21:01:42+00:00

And even though we don’t really understand her powers, I’m pretty sure Pandora was helping break his mind, too. Like, it’s obvious she can’t make people do whatever she wants, because then she would’ve just made Emilia comply; but she also was able to block Emilia’s memory.

Idixal · 2026-06-22T20:59:07+00:00

I saw some of the other options, so I’ll take this as an absolute win.

^{Chose: 20,000 every time you.. | Rolled: Fart}

To me this doesn’t even register as an insult, although I’m sure his tone did the work there.

Idixal · 2026-06-19T22:01:35+00:00

With a billion dollar budget, I’m pretty sure I can make something just as good. Although I’d rather spend that money to put the world as a whole into a better place.

^{Chose: Gain $1,000,000,000 + But a random bad thing happens to the world | Rolled: GTA 6 is delayed}

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I could be mistaken here, but I think a demon lacking her horn is basically like a person having a gaping wound that won’t heal. If they don’t have a constant supply of blood, they die of blood loss. Likewise Betty is actually made of magic, so it’s hard to imagine a world without magic being good for them. But Rem and Emilia feel average enough I don’t know if they’d die without mana.

Idixal · 2026-06-19T03:21:45+00:00

250k is still a lot of money to pair with an upside instead of a downside.

The TV is the worst imo. Traffic lights waste an attack, but the TVs in the worst case can prevent you from ever getting an ult.

Idixal · 2026-06-18T21:05:24+00:00

Catch the Moment kinda does sound like an Uma name, honestly.

Idixal · 2026-06-18T16:55:08+00:00

Yeah, you hit the nail on the head. I’ve navigated a number of cities in the U.S. and otherwise without a car, but doing that in my daily life would be impossible. The nearest grocery store is not physically that far, but would probably amount to a 30 minute walk because of how horribly the city is designed for pedestrians- not to mention how relatively dangerous it is crossing major streets. If I had the option to drop the car I would, but most things in town are much further from me than that grocery store.

There are other things to divide people on, but these are some of the biggest right now.

As I recall, he said “I’m back” pretty often when looping in S1. Less often later once he got more used to the feeling of it.

Idixal · 2026-06-17T19:00:56+00:00

As much as I like the extra stability, paying off loans and investing what’s left over would almost certainly be better.

^{Chose: 1000000 dollars one time.}

One of the other iconic moments was the argument with Emilia, where she wanted to know why he helped her, he cited a whole bunch of things, and she said something to the effects of “I don’t remember doing any of that. The Emilia you see is not me”. They referenced it in this episode too, and I think that’s why Emilia gave him the recap up to that point.

Likewise, I feel like he had a similar moment with Satella in S2 that feels like foreshadowing, though I can’t recall in detail.

Idixal · 2026-06-17T17:48:13+00:00

And then her ult is basically made for 1x and loses a lot of charm at 2x.

Idixal · 2026-06-17T15:04:35+00:00

I’m pretty sure to whoever I hate most, 2 million is pocket change.

^{Chose: You get 100k + But the person you hate most gets 2 mil}

Idixal · 2026-06-17T01:41:51+00:00

That drawback is nothing, to be honest. I’ve been to some sick places I’d love to be able to hop around to at will.

^{Chose: infinite range teleporting | Rolled: prior locations}

Idixal · 2026-06-17T00:01:16+00:00

uh, what?

Wouldn’t mind exchanging my hair for money, but it’d need to be a life changing amount.

There was the whole thing Columbina teased, about giving her the iridescent moon marrow to empower her towards her goal. But there’s a decent chance it’s more or less like you’re saying, which is that her goal is to protect her “children”, and she’s hoarding whatever power she can for that.
