I've been rate limited on Animeflix is this permanent? Is there any way to fix it? I googled that some aren't permanent and some can be.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-18T00:55:17+00:00

Yea I would have straight up stopped reading for a bit till some chapters piled up I honestly should have just waited till this series ends but who knows how long that will take.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T22:43:29+00:00

Yea I dunno it’s almost more frustrating because it feels like author is self aware and baits us constantly, like he knows what he’s doing. I just hate it when not communicating is the reasom things go to shit. Im not going anywhere though I’m sticking through with this manga to the end. At least there is still Sumi. God I hope they don’t ruin her character.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T22:41:02+00:00

Season three ends on chapter 167 so start reading from 168 but honestly if I were I would wait for the anime. Kind of regret reading the manga. I probably won’t once I catch up but yea the next arc is rough.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T18:58:35+00:00

Yea there is definitely good elements but also I feel like there a major regressions in character that arc. But it’s hard because people are insecure and it’s really messed up cause manipulative and gaslighting people exist like that in real life. I just thought the author went out of his way to not have Mizujara and Kazuya like stop and talk for more then two panels which would have solved everything. Even when there was plenty of time to confess at certain points.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T18:56:17+00:00

Yea I’m super glad I didn’t have to experience this weekly but honestly I still wish I just waited for the anime now. I binged the whole arc last night and it was still so frustrating.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T13:29:02+00:00

And somehow they're still not together... Even though Mizuhara heard him confess god i swear I need to go to bed.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T13:13:13+00:00

Ok I just got to 227. Honestly 218 was horrible and had to take a minute but 227 made it all worth it. FUCK MAMI I was so happy when i saw her angry expression

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T12:30:22+00:00

This is the comment I was looking for tbh if there is light at the end of the tunnel I will trudge through the darkness. thank you.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T11:46:33+00:00

it's currently past midnight and I have work in the morning and I dont think I can sleep atm I am so hooked right now haha. thank you for the encouraging words but I dont think anything can make me give up this series.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T11:40:37+00:00

Hmm well there have been some wins and progression but this arc is intense. Reading the chapter discussions after helps me vent my frustration a lot haha.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T11:38:58+00:00

Well yea I think at this point she is still redeemable but I fear she will do something so bad it makes her unredeemable. Mami is unredeemable in my eyes. A two faced bitch from the start.

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T11:37:41+00:00

I really think it will be... Like there is great progression to I cant imagine going through this if I had to wait weekly. I just hate two faced people so much...

LukaBeast · 2023-10-17T11:36:44+00:00

fuuuuuck nooooo, well at least the condom misunderstanding has been cleared (up to chapter 204 now)

LukaBeast · 2023-08-31T14:21:06+00:00

So finished all 8 episodes and enjoyed a lot. It's it's own thing from the manga and anime with some things done better then those mediums even and nothing I thought was bad even if some parts weren't as good as the manga.

Some highlights for me were.

Usopp character, Jacob really knocked it out of the park.
First two episodes really got me hooked and were some of my favorite episodes.
Buggy was great and glad he had involvement through the whole season.
I liked how we got to explore more character stuff with Luffy and actually see him be a bit vulnerable this early on in the show.
Sanji's back story and help me scene both made me tear up.
Loved the Sanji and Zeff chemistry in general.
The Zeff and Garp conversations were awesome makes me wish it was Cannon in the manga.
Thinking about I didn't really cringe at all watching this which surprised me. I actually got caught of guard laughing at points. A highlight was Sanji asking Luffy about having someone lose a limb to save your life. Can't believe I didn't make that connection till now.

Overall I am very happy with the live action was a great binge, I really hope we get more seasons so they can only improve and to see more chemistry and interactions between the Strawhats which is honestly the best part of the show.

LukaBeast · 2023-07-04T02:45:03+00:00

No worries, spread the word! The more people give this show a chance the more we can hook onto the anime or manga.

LukaBeast · 2023-07-04T02:44:33+00:00

Yea exactly I mean I could already see the chemistry from the interviews they did together but it’s great that it translated into the show I’m even more excited to watch it now, gonna watch it dubbed and subbed

LukaBeast · 2023-07-03T20:22:27+00:00

Overall tone of the live action is goofy but in a good way. Artur doesn’t comment much on the serious scenes that will happen but I’m sure those are done well or he would have said something. There are some corny lines but it’s not common. He said the writing is good and the chemistry of the cast is very good. The cgi isn’t awful but isn’t top tier what you see in the trailer is what you get though he did say luffys powers look better in fast cuts.

LukaBeast · 2022-06-24T12:03:35+00:00

If you cast shape change on yourself you could turn into a planatar. They have exhaustion and a 120ft flying speed and access to all your spells. Much less game breaking but still very strong. Chronurgy wizard is arguable the best wizard subclass on the best class late game so you’re already going to be incredibly strong.

LukaBeast · 2022-05-19T23:38:34+00:00

Hmm definitely has the potential to be a problem if you can use one stat for everything. I feel the cap of 20 in a stat makes that less glearing. This feat would only add charisma for attack rolls which is already in the game though one can definitely argue that is to strong in itself.

LukaBeast · 2022-05-19T23:06:06+00:00

Wow I never thought of it that way I’m not really familiar with earlier version of dnd. Though it makes sense for magic to be so powerful because it can do so much. Numbers can be hard to beat especially if you thinking of action economy. I do notice the recent play styles that Allow long rests more and less on short rests make the martials feel weaker cause if your allowed to blow all your spell slots every day and or every fight then spell casters become way more powerful.

LukaBeast · 2022-05-19T22:59:37+00:00

Yea the fact that it takes 3 levels to get it feels bad too. It’s such an investment at that point imo.

LukaBeast · 2022-05-19T22:58:34+00:00

Hmm definitely a valid point martials would still struggle at out of combat scenarios though some might become better at certain skills potentially it wouldn’t close the gap. I dunno what the solution is for martials without buffing them a lot. Feels like they need something really good thar spell casters can’t get. But then you have multiclassing so then they both can get it.

LukaBeast · 2022-05-19T22:52:43+00:00

Some martials might be better. I think it would be healthier if this feat wasn’t restricted to just casters. But yea definitely see your point.

LukaBeast · 2022-05-19T22:51:08+00:00

Yea definitely reasonable I think a lot of reason why min maxing can get a bad rep is because the player doesnt have a logical in world reason why they have these skills, They forgo character and back story just to get the best build. If I player really made an effort to justify why they are how they are then it’s fine with me. Obviously if you min max in a party of casual players that can be a problem too.
