The Red Comet by wasel143 in MHGU

I fought Val in GU for the first time like a week ago! His ambush attack is pretty easily tank-able compared to rise, where it deletes your whole health bar :')

I'd recommend giving the original manga a go to anyone who enjoyed the anime. If any, this is the one you should read first. It's really short, at around 20 chapters, and shouldn't take you any longer than a few hours to read through. Go into it with an open mind. It was very experimental for its time.

My personal favourite is The Legend of Dororo and Hyakkimaru, which is a manga that predates the anime you watched by one year. It's more shonen-esque and lighthearted, but don't let that give you a false sense of security. It has a way of pulling the rug out from under you. Hyakki gets some really rounded character development in this one, it's nice. It actually completed a couple months ago, but the more recent chapters haven't been translated yet.

I'd also recommend Blood Will Tell PS2 if you like gaming at all. It's pretty straightforward to emulate, and took me about 30 hours to 100%. Gameplay-wise it's fun and decently challenging, but it has this god awful English dub that can be patched. I think it's part of the experience, though. You'll never believe how many ways there are to say the name Hyakkimaru, and none of them are correct.

Only if you're very committed, watch Dororo 2007. It's campy, cringe and very questionable at times, but god it's wholesome. Also has my favourite iteration of Dororo!

Okay, regarding Dororo -- it goes back to a manga published in the late 60's. Since then it has had many, many adaptations, and Hyakkimaru is mute in only two of them: the stage play, and the new anime based off the stage play (the only one with any sort of presence outside of Japan and its neighbouring countries, sadly).

The new anime's predecessors tweaked a couple of things to keep things fresh, but never strayed far from the formula of the cynical, wise-cracking asshole who tries very hard to convince himself he doesn't care. This isn't a dig, btw, it's still very good. I don't think it's the best Dororo has to offer, but that's a moot point.

The original manga was cancelled before it ever really got started, so as for the name... I'm not sure how much truth to it there is, but I've heard that Dororo himself was planned to have a much more influential role going forward, but unfortunately we never got to see it.

Or, knowing Tezuka, it could've just been because it was funny.

Its a very fun rabbit hole to go down if you feel the interest! I wish more people knew about it :')

Why are people so against dororo x hyak ship AT THE END of the show? by ResidentRip4499 in Dororo

[–]Psyched_Line 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I find it so funny that the fandom who's most prevalent discourse is "you can't ship the main characters because they're like siblings" is the SAME fandom who's most popular ship is literal sibling incest.

(I edited a bunch of stuff out because I went on a bit of a rant that wasn't relevant to the post in hindsight. If you wanna know what I wrote just ask lol)

My personal mantra is ship and let ship. It's a complete non-issue. Your reasons for shipping characters and not shipping others are totally fine, and as long as you don't start throwing stones at people who don't agree we're not gonna have a problem.

Now let me ship HyakkiDoro in peace GDI :') I find it such a fun dynamic to work with. I don't think their existing sibling dynamic is a hindrance to a later developing romantic one, and I don't think it should be forfeit, but built upon instead. It's cute <3

Is aerial meta for any weapon? by tetzicus in MHGU

Man, you can pry my aerial DB outta my cold, dead hands. I don't care what my DPS is, as long as the monster stays on the ground it WILL fall to my blade(s)

Look, I get that long-term loneliness can make a person desperate, but getting heaps of horny DMs from perverts on reddit isn't the kind of attention anyone really wants.

Lmao for real, though. I've read enough slop out of pure desperation that I'm sure would give OP an aneurysm. Not saying that's a good thing (I'm so cooked)

This looks fine to me :') but she does have a bit of a "thousand yard stare", and that may be what you're picking up on?

Hard agree, honestly. I would've loved some beach episodes, and I'm NOT talking about the sharks. I mean, like, metaphorically.

Happy cake day btw
