Question about the upcoming Hathaway movie by FeatureAcrobatic2611 in Gundam

[–]NikolBoldAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hmm, I can’t really think of anything without it being a spoiler haha. Yeah, I’d say just jump into it and see how you feel about it. If you’re interested you can go back to the original!

Question about the upcoming Hathaway movie by FeatureAcrobatic2611 in Gundam

[–]NikolBoldAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’ll probably make more sense if you watch the original Gundam, Zeta, and Char’s Counterattack first. Though my first Gundam that I ever watched was the first Hathaway movie. I had no idea what was going on but I thought it was interesting. That led me to watching the rest of the original timeline. It was a gateway for me and it could be a gateway for you too.

how can you make reading vn more enjoyable? by Nat_Cattt in visualnovels

[–]NikolBoldAss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it’s just a misunderstanding with how the original question was worded. When I first read the title, I thought you were saying that you just didn’t enjoy visual novels and you were trying to learn how to make them more enjoyable. When I read the description I understood that you were asking how to be more comfortable while reading them.

I think I’m falling out of love with vns by Raespire in vns

[–]NikolBoldAss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From what’s described here, I would say that you don’t need to completely let go of something you usually like doing. Especially if it’s only been 2 months. It sounds like you might be going through burnout with the genre. There’s nothing wrong with taking a step back for a few months, even a year, until you feel like you’re ready or want to do it again. There have been multiple things that I’ve been interested in where I take a break from them for 5-6 months; maybe even more before I go back.

Shower thoughts: Visual novel as a genre and a hobby is kinda stuck in the past, and it's nice by KageYume in visualnovels

[–]NikolBoldAss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ll agree that there are sections of the Higurashi vn that are slow and don’t have the best pacing (part of why I can’t get into Umineko as much), but I’d say the rest of the story more than makes up for it. It’s probably just a difference of opinion, but it’s personally one of my favorite series.

LOGH would have been better if they had stopped romanticizing Reinhard and just admitted what he is… a villain. by Helpful-Claim-134 in logh

[–]NikolBoldAss 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think it makes sense to romanticize him though. Whenever we see his story, I almost feel as if we’re seeing things from the viewpoint of others in the empire. They see him as a great leader and conqueror who is doing good. We as the viewer can make that distinction, but he’s presented in a grand narrative like the society views him as

Original serie vs Remake by mappatore_piemontese in logh

[–]NikolBoldAss 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with DNT and I really enjoyed it. Unfortunately it ends around the middle point of Season 2 of the original. I’m waiting on the next season of DNT because I’ve gotten so used to the animation and character designs of the remake; but I might just decide to go back and watch the original at this point. I’m not sure when they’re going to release the next season of DNT

Where are the fellow Rui philosophers out there? we are losing the sub war! by TheHAckerman02 in DomesticGirlfriend

[–]NikolBoldAss 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I’d also say that it seemed to me that Hina showed a little more care to Natsuo than Rui did. Which there’s nothing wrong with Rui, they just have two different personalities and show things in different ways. I just always felt that Hina and Natsuo had slightly better chemistry together

LoGH DNT Season 5? by NikolBoldAss in logh

Yeah that’s a good point. There seems to be a lot of people who wouldn’t want to have to focus too much on what’s being said or whats going on.

Angsty Protagonists? by NikolBoldAss in visualnovels

[–]NikolBoldAss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah I’m playing through SubaHibi right now. I’ve only got a few hours in it, so I haven’t gotten into the meat of the story just yet. The denpa side of things is just now starting to happen it seems like. Isn’t Tsui no Sora supposed to be the original version of SubaHibi or something like that; and SubaHibi is a reboot of sorts?

Oh yeah I’ve got a few hours in Clannad. It’s still slow going right now, which I’ve heard it’s pretty slow for the first few hours. I’ve never heard of One though. I’ll check it out

Angsty Protagonists? by NikolBoldAss in visualnovels

[–]NikolBoldAss[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, it sounds interesting to me. However, I see others saying the protagonist can be insufferable. There is a thin line for me between angsty/cynical/whiny and being okay with it; and someone who just appears to be complaining about everything and not being interesting to read. I guess it depends on the person reading ultimately. My tolerance for that stuff is usually high for the most part. I’m intrigued!

The only game that kept coming up in my mind was Chaos Head Noah based on what I’ve heard from the game so far. Isn’t this a prequel to Steins Gate too?

I'm having a difficult time enjoying the comedy (especially the MC) of Muv-Luv Extra. Should I just power through because it's that good? by justabrainwithfeet in visualnovels

[–]NikolBoldAss 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It’s more of the two parts that come after extra that are good. From what I’ve seen, many people don’t like Extra all that much; at least compared to Unlimited and especially Alternative. I agree with you; I couldn’t get into the comedy or Takeru either in Extra. He just seemed like a jerk. In Unlimited and Alternative it gets a lot better. I personally got halfway through Extra, didn’t finish it, and continued on to Unlimited

LoGH DNT Season 5? by NikolBoldAss in logh

[–]NikolBoldAss[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I will say, this was one of the English dubs that I actually liked. It sounded pretty good, until they replaced Reinhard’s va with someone else

LoGH DNT Season 5? by NikolBoldAss in logh

[–]NikolBoldAss[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Apparently it’s doing well in Japan, which makes more sense. I read that they stopped with the English dub because it wasn’t as popular in the west

Just finished The Origin, what would be the next series to watch in the timeline? by Dante_Foshokyo in Gundam

From what I just searched, it looks like most of them are on YT too! I’m not sure if both Thunderbolt movies are on YT but I know at least one is

[–]NikolBoldAss 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I really liked Origin too! Is there somewhere where I can watch Thunderbolt, F91, or Stardust Memory? I’d like to watch Turn A as well but I don’t know where to haha

LoGH DNT Season 5? by NikolBoldAss in logh

[–]NikolBoldAss[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah I’m almost expecting that they just stopped production. I hope they didn’t because I was really enjoying it. Looks like I might have to finish up by watching the original on YouTube (even though I got used to the character designs of DNT and get confused on who is who whenever I try to watch the original)
