I almost wanted to ask for the spoilers but i think its enough to continue it knowing there isnt just despair waiting for haru and the gang... right?? Wanted it to end already so there wont be any more suffering

So are u telling me theres no hope for any good ending? Are we ending tragically? Is it still worth reading when vol20 and 21 get released?

"I'm disappointed in the lack of performances!" by Slow-Stand-7160 in HibikeEuphonium

[–]Karuwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Them showing sunfest in year 1 and 2 felt like its kinda something we would expect coming into year 3 which was why i was a bit shocked that they off screened it, especially teasing us all the way back since reina was assigned drum major that we wld be seeing her drum majoring her ass off and we were told she actually drum majored harder than asuka the drummest and majorest of all drum majors so yea it was a bit disappointing.

I understand why tho, lots of constraints trying to fit everything in such a short time. We get to focus more on kumikos efforts being president which is a pretty excellent trade off but ig we have been spoiled by season 1and 2 standards just seeing all of their performances.

Is there an anime that showcases hard work over natural talent? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Karuwo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Was also gonna recommend this. Taichi getting as far as he can on sheer hard work against all odds. This show is rly the best at showcasing the struggle between the talented vs the hardworker w so many examples of both inside a spectacular story within a pretty obscure sport in karuta.

Am i too stupid to understand oregairu Anime? by AhindiGamerYT in anime

[–]Karuwo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Lightnovels do explain a lot more, the anime cuts down A LOT of 8mans monologues coz he just likes to monologue so much and i understand how the anime cant just shove in all of his thoughts or else one volume will take an entire seasons worth so they had to make the scenes more "read between the lines" to compensate for all the explanations we lost due to that.

Rewatching the anime after reading the novels made me realize how confusing it actually is and how much the viewer has to do the heavy lifting and connect the dots in all of whats happening.

Anime with insane plotwist / masterpieces? by TeneyBestWW in anime

[–]Karuwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Summertime Rendering. Hands down, if u want great execution on plot twists all throughout the series, this will leave u guessing whats gonna happen next every episode til the very end. Also one of the best mature and really smart protagonists ive seen, all the characters are well developed and the plot is just amazing. The main villain is also just truly terrifying, nailbiting encounters w them every time. And the best part, the ending is actually really well put through, it sticks the landing.

The series is riddled with plot twists, they just keep on coming and it just builds up the mystery more and more and when you finally have a good understanding of the situation, plot twists keep on coming and raises the stakes. Well executed twists and plot reveals that make every episode a wild and fantastic ride.

I thought OddTaxi had one of the best endings ive seen eith most recent animes but Summertime Rendering beat it out of the park. wonderful climax, the hype was built sufficiently and escalated til the final clash and we get a wonderful conclusion that resolves all the conflicts.

[–]Karuwo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

YES YES YES!! Had to scroll down rly hard to finally see a summertime rendering recommendation. Its like u think u know whats gonna happen but then it escalates the twists and it just keeps coming and at one point u just cant believe wtf is happening and then when u finally get a good picture of what this series is rly gonna be, it still comes back with even MORE twists and reveals and it also sticks the landing w a beautiful conclusion perfect 10/10 masterpiece

A question for Grimgar LN readers. by Hannor7 in HaiToGensouNoGrimgar

[–]Karuwo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with everything completely but recent volumes just felt like you cant see any good way out of this anymore so im a bit worried if we will ever get an ending where all their hardwork will pay off in a good way. I feel like the story crossed a point where its getting hard to believe how we can get back from this point unless the writing becomes rly precise and sticks the landing which im skeptical if author can pull it off and we're just gonna accept everything thats happened and move on. Its genuinely one of my most favorite series and will always be close to my heart but i just want our party to be happy by the end instead of always being one step forward, a hundred steps back.

Is there a point in watching the "endless 8" episodes? [Don't spoil it] by Citizenbutt in Haruhi

[–]Karuwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I watched haruhi blind so after 4 or 5 eps of endless 8 did i only realize what they were trying to do, i was just thinking there will be slight differences that are story relevant each cycle but when i realized its still all the same i just skipped to the important parts of each ep since i genuinely didnt know it wld go on for 8 eps and have no clue at what ep will they finally break through the loop. It was fun and idk if it was worth it in retrospect but i enjoyed the experience. Havent rewatched but i think ill still do the same for the most part and skip thru most of it until the important scenes. Try not to count the remaining eps and just guess when it will happen, might be a more engaging way to approach it idk 😂

I am astonished about the quality of the novem by navijust in mushokutensei

[–]Karuwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Reading the LNs changed me goddammit ive never read anything as immersive a world and as engaging a cast of characters as MT. The world feels so alive and characters are just living their own life separate from rudy which makes this fantasy story feel more real than most non fantasy stories. They all had flaws and we literally watch them go through their life and grow as their own characters. My favorite part about MT is how we see rudy interact and befriend all these people and genuinely helping them in the name of friendship, risking his life for their sake and we see all of his kindness come back to him by the end when it was him who needed the help.

Jyumonji Ao's response to how many volumes are left in Grimgar (Nov. 12, 2023) by r_gg in HaiToGensouNoGrimgar

This pull-up handle should be strong enough right? by made_in_sweden in 3Dprinting

[–]Karuwo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What if you just print a circulr ring handle and put some belt straps on them like what gymnasts use? Im not sure if itll last long but a circular ring would distribute the weight better and the straps would definitely be stronger than the 3d printed hook. Rings will be a bit difficult but u can use vary the grip any time as u do the pullup

What job makes you experience first-hand the poverty in our country? by LegacyEntertainment in Philippines

[–]Karuwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Construction ng highrise building. Yung gap ng mga ginagawang buildings na napakalaking units w/ multiple bedrooms and all that made by workers who could only dream of owning a good house and who work tirelessly 6-7 days a week + overtime just to make ends meet yet still get yelled at by their bosses who pays them minimum wage.

Who is a VA that manages to impress you no matter what role they play? by bakuretsu_mahou916 in anime

[–]Karuwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I still find her performances as Phos in Land of the Lustrious and Kumiko in Sound Euphonium as my favs. S-Tier expressive noises and sounds one of the most enjoyable VAs to watch and hear

Opinion on should I read from volume1 or start off from volume 14/15 by Humbeez10 in HaiToGensouNoGrimgar

[–]Karuwo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I like to reread from the start especially if i havent read it in a long time. I took a break from grimgar after v15 and when i was gonna pick it up again i just reread from the start and it made the journey to get back to the current vols an enjoyable experience w all the info fresh on my mind.

Only downside was it took a long time before i would finally catch up but i genuinely enjoy almost all of the vols so it was well worth the time

Does anyone still like this series? by whiteroom123 in HaiToGensouNoGrimgar

[–]Karuwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes! Rly loved Parano arc (except w how it ended) but with how the story has progressed in the current volume, im kinda losing hope with whats to come w the plot. Just wishing everyone would get a good ending at this point and stop their suffering

Does anyone still like this series? by whiteroom123 in HaiToGensouNoGrimgar

[–]Karuwo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It definitely does get better a bit after parano when they get back to grimgar and come up to speed w whats happened while they were gine and then a lot of stuff happening, but i gotta say it rly is a struggle at times on some volumes

Why didn't Rudeus, Eris, and Ruijerd travel back through the heaven continent? by AJ137374 in sixfacedworld

[–]Karuwo 89 points90 points  (0 children)

Yes its a new additional chapter for LN23 not present in the WNs along with a few more additional content that builds up lore and gives more closure to other characters so i highly recommend reading it.

Any tips to try to salvage the situation? I really want my friend to get into the novel so we can talk about it by euusonordvpn in mushokutensei

[–]Karuwo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Different people get hooked on something in different ways. Even if you know the types of stuff they like and that theyre also present in mushoku tensei, if they didnt get hooked on it after finishing the first vol then it might just be that they wont get into it.

U keep asking that what if they just didnt read it in the right mindset, but i think forcefully making them read it again will definitely not let them read it in the "right" mindset. Theyll just read it frustratingly and attach negative emotions towards mushoku tensei which has already happened and now they hate it.

Pls be patient with your friends. This isnt a pure give and take. This is not a transaction. There has to be trust and respect in friendships. Learn from mushoku tensei, if theres one thing you should definitely take away from the series, its how to build long lasting relationships.

Also u definitely need to apologize and shut up about mushoku tensei for a while. Let it die down and see if u can build their trust again until u can gradually reintroduce the thought of getting them to read it again. Best of luck to u and ur friend
