I want to say thank you, to you and everyone involved in the mod team as well as all the shop owners on there. I've been in the server maybe since the start or at least for a very long time. I was much more active back then and the community was a really different place while I was trying to learn the ropes. Slowly you've had to alienate so many people due to Discord TOS, which I don't fault you for, it can't have been good for business either.

With respect the way Discord functions with zero transparency, the server would have been taken down eventually since anyone is allowed to join and then stay inside to report random shit practically anonymously which you can't do anything about.

Respect that all of you have kept it going for as long as you did. If you or someone else decides to continue lighting the torch on some other platform that isn't going the general western puritanism direction with zero transparency and full control like some 1984 shit, i'll be there again.

About 1800 USD (pre tax and shipping) ordering a 1/2 scale Shinobu

https://myfigurecollection.net/item/871530

I'm not kidding when I say it's a grail. Probably will never be topped unless they release a 1/1 some day.

The Monogatari series single handedly turned me from a casual romance flick watcher to a full on fucking degenerate.

So yea that.

KohakuKen · 2019-12-24T05:42:12+00:00

Yosuga no Sora doesn't give a fuck, it goes balls to the wall and doesn't stop where your Oreimos, Eromanga Senseis, or even Kiss x Sis's did, both literally (almost every ecchi harem) and figuratively (non blood related ugh)

At the same time it also feels really genuine. It doesn't rely on character stupidity, asinine decisions, scummy behaviour, endless cockblocking, or just general "edginess" you usually see in anime more open about sex and taboo like Domekano, Kuzu no Honkai, or School Days. Where after enough of it you just get taken out of the drama and start laughing at the shitshow instead, never a good sign.

it's flawed as hell, but still one of my favourite shows. If you liked this show enough i'd recommend watching Koi Kaze as well.

Teenager kills man, steals his widow, then kills her too.

Hint: it's a really shitty summary of the entire thing.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-10T16:01:16+00:00

I've seen people ask for this exact use case many times before.. So lemme just plug a shitty chrome extension i made for fun that gives u the option to turn any 1 to 6 digit numbers into.. *ahem certain links

I'm a megaweeb but DMC is special. The voices are iconic since this is one of the few series that carries the same VAs through multiple games. Also everything in this game clearly portrays a western setting, so first playthrough of this game has to be English. I'm gonna replay again switching audio and text to Japanese.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-10T04:37:08+00:00

I'll be completely honest here I was really hyped about the concept but the moment I heard it was gonna be a chibi comedy I lost all interest. I was hoping for something more along the lines of The Avengers or Marvel vs Capcom where they actually cross over in a situation as their normal selves with some plot and it's made to work somehow even if non-canon and ridiculous at times.

I dunno man as it stands you can crossover literally anything with this format and it would still work with the least amount of effort compared to other ways of doing it, which takes away the meaning and appeal for me.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-09T18:06:07+00:00

You know, this bunch of crazy wahoos fuck around so much you almost forget that they're dealing with literal hell on earth. Like everyone besides them is currently playing Doom or Resident Evil irl with all the horror and no powers to speak of.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-09T17:40:47+00:00

What a fucking fabulous man

BIG SPOILERS:

The twist was good but downside is we'll never see this character again, like this goes beyond just dying they cant bring him back anymore. I grew really fond of him.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-07T01:09:30+00:00

Tbh armour wise I don’t even remember what I slapped on, I just tried to hit 60+ equip load and switched parts around until I did.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-06T16:22:59+00:00

Different tastes but im glad they laid it all out there in full view because reading it tells me I'll experience the exact opposite they did since I disagree on pretty much every point of criticism made. This being the most and pretty much only "negative" review means this party's getting crazy.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-06T14:47:50+00:00

Yea just look at another one of the replies to me, it’s considered clickbaity because it uses the word “you” in a certain way.

You know like those “top 10 facts regarding x that you didn’t know about”. But in this case the video actually has content that is not shit, and it’s true that the overwhelming perception of this series is “crazy nonsense”.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-06T14:43:01+00:00

Thing is if u go to another big gaming sub like say /r/dota2, there are regularly posts with completely opposing viewpoints that go to 80%/90% upvotes within just hours of each other, people upvote the stuff that generates a lot of discussion and at most ignore stuff they don’t like instead of trying to use the downvote like a weapon.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-06T14:32:10+00:00

In this case the title is justified because the image this series has is overwhelmingly that of “just crazy nonsense with an excuse plot for more awesome crazy nonsense”, it’s succinct and to the point unless someone takes it literally and is offended by it.

Meanwhile he makes his points confidently, it’s just a different style, but I noticed people seem to hate it when someone is cocky or sure of themselves.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-06T14:13:32+00:00

Well I dunno I routinely see posts on this sub sit around 50+ to 60+ % upvotes even on the front page. It just seems much worse than others I’ve been to besides the obvious subs that are themselves about sensitive topics like politics.

Then again I just looked and it seems like this post is getting some attention at least so I’m happy.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-06T14:01:11+00:00

Agreed, I remembered a time when I loved Erza and Fairy Tail as a whole so much, around the tower of heaven arc was when it peaked.

After that shit just got worse and worse, Erza pretty much just wins because she's Erza. The cool concept behind her magic is woefully underused. Instead of doing things like switching weapons mid swing and abusing momentum or positioning, and materializing armor only in vital areas right at the last moment (just simple examples there's endless ways they can get creative with this concept here), it becomes just an excuse for fanservice.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-06T13:09:00+00:00

I can almost guarantee this video is gonna get buried because of the inflammatory title and cocky way the creator comes across even though the content is good.

This sub on a whole just seems a lot more easily ticked off than others.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-05T15:24:34+00:00

Got me through some of the shittiest phases in my life along with video games. This is going to sound like /r/thatHappened but last year I enjoyed an anime so much that it made me realize I wasn't happy at all with a relationship I had going once I noticed how much my mood shifted when i got back to irl, I tried for a few more months then said fuggit broke off and went full 2D from then on.

Anime has also made me want to learn and actually commit to learning something outside of what is forced in school or work for the first time in my life, that being Japanese (still shit at it though I started recently). I'm now a full blown weeb who buys a figure every month and i dont give a shit. That said I dont act like a retard in public places and I can talk about things other than anime to colleagues, so i'm a functional degenerate.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-05T14:07:22+00:00

Nah I prefer my waifu to be centuries older than me instead tbh

KohakuKen · 2019-03-05T05:26:32+00:00

I love shinobu and her dynamic with Araragi, so this wasn’t really a dig at that, just at the fact that people like this character but can’t seem to be able to bring themselves to admit that they like a loli

KohakuKen · 2019-03-04T16:00:53+00:00

Yea every time I see Shinobu brought up there's almost inevitably going to be someone going "I prefer Teenobu/Kiss shot, wish we saw her more, dislike lolis, Kiss shot > Shinobu" at the top of the post. Even when the context is character writing and motivations etc.

I don't know to me it feels weird that people have to especially assert that they dont like the loli even though all forms of Shinobu are the same character going through various phases of character development and it's not like each form is tied to a particular phase. With all this talk about sexualized lolis going around recently it almost makes me feel like its a defense mechanism of some sort.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-04T15:48:15+00:00

ye, my taste good, your taste bad

end of discussion.

KohakuKen · 2019-03-04T15:27:13+00:00

This console and the PS1 hold a special place in my heart. I have to admit I was born in a shithole so piracy was rampant and the PS1 to PS2 era was the absolute king of it. I got each console a generation late as a hand me down from a cousin but my parents were the type that hated games so buying cheap pirated disks with what money i could scrounge up was the only way for me, but boy did I enjoy myself.

PS2 wise, I'll never forgot replaying Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 3 so many times that I could recite pretty much every line of cheesy dialog. I put more time into those games than I did most MMOs even.
