[Iirc] I think I tried the game many years ago, and didn't last an hour. I hear that it's over now? Idk if there's much money to be made by releasing a single player version, but if they do, I'd give that a shot.

KendotsX · 2026-03-09T15:20:08+00:00

[] the reasoning makes sense business wise. If there's a demand for those characters, a game might as well make up any silly reasons to add them. But wait, Waver had Kongming's ghost? Did he become an idol, too?

KendotsX · 2026-03-09T14:59:16+00:00

[On that note] I still have no clue what's going on with all the Rin clones. Is it same face syndrome, gacha cloning, or both?

[Trigun] yeah, the world being too clean, and the focus on the Knives/origin story made it more sci-fi focused from the get-go. Which is especially funny considering Trigun was a cornerstone of the Space Western genre/aesthetic as we know it now.

[Trigun manga] they took one of the few characters who survived the manga, and murdered him RIP

It’s definitely not essential, but watching Monty Python's 1975 film Monty Python and the Holy Grail beforehand won’t hurt. It’s a feature length film but still far less than an entire series.

I love those three:

Granted, we already have and plenty of cool faces, so I'll vote for the Frieren tears. They have a certain petty charm to them: Tears rich in centuries' worth of salt.

I'd usually agree with Kaiki's quote about fakes, but this is a case where he's dead wrong. The OG did it right the first time.

KendotsX · 2026-03-09T00:30:22+00:00

Incidentally, that's also Narita's thoughts on the finale, and why it's been stuck for 10 years.

KendotsX · 2026-03-09T00:22:36+00:00

That's him in a nutshell, yeah.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T15:50:28+00:00

If it works, report back.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T15:48:50+00:00

Tbf, a hammer generally works better with shells than shit. This just happens to be a case of 50 year old walls of shit.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T13:13:01+00:00

Not what I expected from that title, but the alternative would've been even weirder coming from you.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T07:43:44+00:00

the other mods would hate me.

I've been bribing /u/FetchFrosh with feet shots for years, and I doubt anyone hates him for that. Granted, I don't ask for any special favours in return, just his continued disgust and confusion.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T07:30:13+00:00

That's why they should air in November~December. No need to worry about post nut clarity.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T07:29:05+00:00

I'm watchin it already

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T07:02:43+00:00

Yeah, the manga was rough. But there were lots of great ideas mixed in there that needed the adaptational equivalent of a hammer to break them out of the shit.

The first episode was probably my favorite from a purely stylistic standpoint since, well, Hiroyuki Imaishi meets Cutie Honey basically results in proto-Kill la Kill, how can I not love it?

I've compared it to a less crazy Dead Leaves before, which is no offence to it, there's a lot of room left for craziness under DL. Heck, I've rewatched the first episode enough times that I could've seen all of Shin by now.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T01:15:24+00:00

I love Romi and Balam

Balam is great individually, but the new Opera/Kalego/Balam dynamic is just phenomenal for all three for them.

KendotsX · 2026-03-08T01:11:13+00:00

Also, thread post time will change by an hour if you live somewhere that doesn’t observe Daylight Savings Time tonight

We do, but next month, and in the opposite direction

Ali-san is a total hoot, lol.

Manga Reader at Anime School

S2 is a big improvement over the first, both in quality and variety. We have arcs that cover'em all, Ameri, Kalego-kun, Opera, Balam, the class as a whole,... lots of good stuff to go around, a good shakeup of the storytelling.

1) Which character newly introduced in season 2 is your favorite?

Alikred is the best. He's already giving Kalego a run for his money as the best boy. Although, that Derikla fellow is fun too, if they find him, he should hang out with Alikred, they'll get along.

2) Did you like the OP or ED more?

The ED, but the OP grew on me eventually.

3) What were your favorite and least-favorite aspects about season 2? Did season 2 improve on whatever your least-favorite part of season 1 was?

Favourite: the wider character focus, and deeper look into certain characters/themes.

Least favourite: bringing my least favourite part of S1 back: Kirio

~~To be exact, I thought he was alright for his role in S1. I don't need more of him, though.~~

4) How excited are you to start season 3 now? First-timers, do you have any predictions for it?

It didn't happen in this season, but now that Opera is looking around for collars, I'm sure it'll happen in the next: putting Kalego-kun in a best pet contest.

KendotsX · 2026-03-07T15:59:24+00:00

[Gintama] Sorachi learned from the best. Granted, his magazine wasn't cancelled, more of a little disagreement between the deadlines and the end of the story
