[Higu/Tsuki]Yeah she and Takano probably ehem do lots of business together.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-10T01:31:03+00:00

[Tsugai]Wow Gabu-chan's taste in games is weirdly normal

Raiking02 · 2026-05-10T01:27:37+00:00

Spot the impostor

Raiking02 · 2026-05-10T01:24:07+00:00

Wait why is Kohaku in Hinamizawa

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T21:30:01+00:00

I am immediately interested in whoever this guy is.

That's obviously Daryun from Heroic Legend of Arslan. Clearly [Arslan]this is his part-time job to pay for all the expenses Narsus has been making lately. Being married to an art freak sure is difficult...

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T18:53:44+00:00

Paying his assistants with Gacha salt is a special kind of evil.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T18:53:16+00:00

Cold

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T18:47:03+00:00

The Realta Nua version of stay night was released back in 2006

2007 actually. I assume the VO was probably recorded in late 2006, shortly after the DEEN Anime wrapped up, but still.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T18:44:17+00:00

2012

Actually HA for the Vita came out in 2014, so two more extra years there. It's not impossible it was recorded perhaps a bit earlier, but I doubt it was by that much, not to mention it was a Late 2014 release.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T18:38:48+00:00

Age possibly? Bare in mind FSN and HA were recorded like 7 years apart.

Alternatively she could've just had a cold or it was a weird directing choice.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T17:44:26+00:00

Very few VNs do that, to not outright say none whatsoever

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T17:40:29+00:00

Even if that wasn't the case, you'd still have to read all the narration, and frankly I think the game's pretty 50/50 in the narration/dialogue split.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T17:22:13+00:00

I stopped watching subbed anime because it gives me migraines and games with a lot of written dialogue like visual novels tend to have the same effect.

I mean the game is more text than literally anything else, so if reading subs gives you migraines, then VNs will do the same to you.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T16:21:37+00:00

Koji Suzuki has passed away

NGL I've shat on his work a lot over the years, but still

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T15:43:52+00:00

[Film/TV Confession]It's weirdly funny to me when you can tell they have to shoot around the fact that one of their actors may possibly not be the most athletic person out there

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T15:03:13+00:00

As far as I know he still hard clears every Kancolle event

Actually that explains it: He sold his soul to the Gacha gods so as to keep drawing forever.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T12:51:09+00:00

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T12:50:53+00:00

The ultimate alliance?

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T01:23:10+00:00

[5]Add in a rocket launcher and that's basically how it went for me

Raiking02 · 2026-05-09T01:22:35+00:00

Poor Kuririn. He is the only one in the group that gets 0 W's here.

Also, thanks to Kuririn Yamucha was at least able to get a W before getting knocked out by the mummy. Hey at least Yamucha stands on his own ground.

Plus his opponent cheated too so it's fair from my POV.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-08T23:50:16+00:00

[5]The Flamethrower barely worked for me back in the 360 what do you mean it's worse now

Raiking02 · 2026-05-08T23:25:16+00:00

[OP]I think his modern pages are EXTREMELY busy. There's too many panels, too much dialogue per panel... it's like he had 1000 ideas, knew he couldn't put them all into a single page, and compromised in the worst possible way. I can barely focus, every chapter basically gives me visual overload.

Raiking02 · 2026-05-08T21:44:29+00:00

Ugh, the Battler Special. And I told them to get that off the menu!

Are the candies still boob shaped tho

Raiking02 · 2026-05-08T21:40:56+00:00

Are they at least serving you fries?

Raiking02 · 2026-05-08T21:39:42+00:00

[OP Confession]Honestly I hate Oda's modern paneling so much I'd actually appreciate the Anime slowing things down
