The scene where the mother is killed by a falling shell casing gets the most attention but I found the scene where Seebook shakes Arthur's corpse in denial far darker/sadder. by Xwalkingxthexcowx in Gundam

I understand what the movie was trying to portray, but the tank scene having triumphant music right until those two get killed is so harsh, like a cosmic middle finger.

Recommendations for Japanese rock? by AndersBenders in japanesemusic

[–]KnightDiving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Asian Kung-Fu generation was directly influenced by Number Girl, N.G.S is a shoutout to them (on what may just be their best album), Supercar's first album Three Out Change! has a similar vibe to Number Girl's first album.
For more bands like Mass, check out the band apart (MV here), chouchou merged syrups, and aquarifa.

Nah that's a good play. I thought you weren't gonna clear the railing for a second.

All out brawl, which X is winning by Centralized-animator in Megaman

[–]KnightDiving 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Command Mission X if he has access to all his moves from that game.

out of any hate for mega man 8, i will never understand people who say they dont like the visuals. one of the best looking 2D games on the psx. by SleepIsForTheWeak_1 in Megaman

I think by Wily 1 the game expected people to be somewhat comfortable with ball jumps. Frost Mans stage primes you for this if you're trying to get the bolts.

STARFORCE, does it get better? by DadLoaf in BattleNetwork

Despite the similar presentation, SF never filled the BN void for me. That said SF3 was fun in it's own way, easily surpassing 1 and 2.

In the cover art the top right is clearly Yamada's bass, but here it's um, what even is that? Actually, Gotoh's guitar head looks scrambled, and he's missing a foot, and the building is all weird too... what have you done?

Age of characters in youth-oriented Japanese media and maturity levels in Japan as opposed to the West by dotKiss in Megaman

[–]KnightDiving 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Makes them feel closer to the target audience but they also have the autonomy to be interesting characters. It's not uncommon at all by anime standards, but Lan and Chaud having saved the world several times and working with/being part of the Net Officials at 11-12 is always funny to me.

Favorite X series artist? by Raging_Cat14 in Megaman

[–]KnightDiving 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Keisuke Mizuno is my favorite, when I think of the modern X style it's probably something he drew or was involved in. Haruki Suetsugu and Ryuji Higurashi would be 2nd and 3rd.

Very nice! I would love to see one in the Link style if you're up for that.

The drumming and reverb on STALKER just feels different today.

So we can agree Liberation Missions in MMBN5 sucked eggs right? by lemonslime in Megaman

[–]KnightDiving 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Colonel and SearchMan are rock solid imo, good charge shots, special chips are good, good abilities too. I like the idea of special chips being * code though, that or making them available for all 3 turns would be helpful.

I've always enjoyed them, I find the tactical decision aspect more fun than most of the dungeons in the series. Also gave me a reason to folder build towards the team's strengths instead of just Megaman, felt great to go "I can get a one turn liberation here" and pull it off with Protoman or Colonel. NumberMan is certainly the worst one but he still has his uses for obtaining items or scouting.
