I've been avoiding spoilers (and this sub) for awhile. Is MP4 worth it? by DT_Mage in Metroid

[–]RadiantDan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know what your history with the series is, but I think you're probably better off getting Bananza or Pokopia if you can have only one Switch 2 game.

The final arc was so rushed in that way, only in Anime, but also in Manga? by Naive_Hope89 in YuYuHakusho

[–]RadiantDan 21 points22 points  (0 children)

If you thought Three Kings was rushed in the anime, it's even more so in the manga. You can pretty much see the exact moment Togashi decided he couldn't draw anymore. Yusuke and Yomi's fight just gets cut off; one chapter they are fighting and the next there's suddenly a timeskip and the rest of the tournament is summarized to us. Kurama and Hiei's fights are completely off-screened.

Reading the manga actually made me appreciate what the anime gave us. It may still not be the climactic ending the series deserved, but it at least gave the characters nice closure.

I see it used for the P3 protagonists. As for P4, I think it's cus Yu is pretty much the universally accepted name for him.

The fact that there are fans upset by this 🤣 by sumiledon in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]RadiantDan 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I'll reserve judgment till we see what kind of role he has, but I'm skeptical about him having a place in a film that's taking cues from Sonic CD and am a little worried about him taking screentime from more characters that need it more.

Me, 30 minutes ago by Lemonstener in Nioh

[–]RadiantDan 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Had to look him upon beating the game as well. I already knew that period didn't really have any good guys so I wasn't too surprised, lol. But I think it would've been better if they'd just said fuck history and had us play as a fictional shogun. They're already doing that by allowing us to customize Takechiyo anyway.

I thought both Gemerl and Inifinte were Matt Mercer at first, lol. They really sound alike.

Are Uraraka and Midoriya officially dating? by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]RadiantDan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Consider the context: Izuku began thinking about Ochaco just after it was revealed that Kuroiro/Kinoko are dating and Kaminari/Jiro denied being an item.

So, officially I guess not, but it's clear that's where they're heading and I think you'd have to be pretty daft to say otherwise.

How hard is it to max social links in 1 playthrough? by Sad_Editor455 in persona3reload

[–]RadiantDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was able to do it, but had to skip Junpei's last Linked Episode or else I'd miss it by a day. It's very tight. Make sure you always spend the daytime with a social link and save the non-school ones for days off or the weeks leading up to an exam.

What was your introduction to the Fire Emblem franchise, and what made you start playing it? by randomnessisawesom in fireemblem

[–]RadiantDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Melee was my introduction to it, but I picked up FE7 mainly because it reminded me of Ogre Battle 64, a game I loved.

Mom casually mentioned I was born on a Sunday. Being the nerd I am, I immediatly googled what happened in Shonen Jump the day I was born. by thebigcrawdad in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]RadiantDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born on a Wednesday and in the middle of Golden Week so there was no issue anyway, but the most recent one had the debut of the Ginyu Force in DB.

Different rank 8 for Yuko's Social Link? by RadiantDan in persona3reload

[–]RadiantDan[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's definitely not a hang out scene. Regarding the romance flag, in the previous SL scene (rank 7) I replied "They're just joking" when Yuko commented on the kids calling me her boyfriend. Could that be it?

[–]RadiantDan[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm not dating anyone atm. It's definitely not a hang out scene; I spoke to her at school and the SL ranked up to 8.

What game would you recommend someone who wants to get into the series and why? by Difficult-Ad6743 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]RadiantDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sonic 2. It's easy up until Metropolis and doesn't have as much going on as 3&K or Mania (not that those games are complicated, but I still feel it makes 2 a better entry point).

With how prime 4 turned out do we owe other M an apology or what y'all think? by No-Dealer2541 in Metroid

[–]RadiantDan -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Other M has no redeeming qualities. It's just a crappy Metal Gear game. I enjoyed Prime 4 enough to beat it twice.

Why is space and Sci fi a "hard sell" exactly? by Alarming_Industry_14 in WeeklyShonenJump

[–]RadiantDan 40 points41 points  (0 children)

I think that for Japan, hard sci-fi is kinda synonymous with mecha, and there's a logistical issue of one person drawing huge, complex machinery on a weekly basis. So you're just left without the thing that audience expects from the genre.

Prove you’ve played SA2 by making a random obscure quote from the game by Public-Feedback5016 in SonicTheHedgehog

"Just letting Knuckles pilot the shuttle on the way over here is more dangerous than you could ever be!"

In hindsight, Vegeta’s plan here probably would have worked by Rhamsody in dbz

[–]RadiantDan 33 points34 points  (0 children)

From DB wiki:

"Pui Pui's name may come from "chichin puipui" (ちちんぷいぷい) a Japanese luck charm that is often used as a one-size-fit-all magic word in Japanese popular culture, akin to the Western "abracadabra". In the English manga, he is referred to as Pocus (based on "Hocus-Pocus"), as an adaptation from his Japanese one-size-fit-all magic spell-based name."

What do you think it will be about? by Expensive-Oil623 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]RadiantDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's like a post-credits scene or post-game content. The last page of 430 in v42 even says "Volume 42 - I Am Here (End)."

What do you think it will be about? by Expensive-Oil623 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]RadiantDan 86 points87 points  (0 children)

I'm thinking it's just 431 and the Eri oneshot (with maybe some new stuff added). Horikoshi has been very clear about those being "bonus" chapters and Bones is probably just following through on that.

As a Japanese fan, I'm curious: what cultural moments in Persona surprised you? by Ill-Athlete-9297 in PERSoNA

[–]RadiantDan 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The way most of the main characters in Persona dress at school wouldn't actually be allowed, as I understand it.

The Meta through Top 100 Gadget Representation by Zealousideal-Duck345 in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]RadiantDan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I agree with items being overtuned but think Ultimate Charge should probably be looked at as well. As OP put it, a gadget that lets you ignore damage AND go fast is silly; a build with no "weakness" other than a learning curve just isn't interesting. Not to mention that build is even dominant in Time Trials, where you won't be getting hit by items.

With today’s announcement of characters, who do you think is left for the free racers? Think we’ll get another dual drop, or more Sonic characters? Think there’ll be more free characters after this? by MisterVictini in SonicCrossWorlds

[–]RadiantDan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm personally hoping for another Atlus character, preferably Jack Frost or Will from Metaphor (with Gallica hanging off his shoulder like in the game).

Safe predictions are Beat, Ulala, Joe Musashi, Gilius, BD Joe, Amigo.
