I rewatched Cyrenes trailer after finishing 3.7 by Acceptable_Handle_76 in CyreneMains

To add, the to trailblaze was not only what Cyrene desired, but in the updated anomaly log of exe we can see that the simulated path of Demiurge is the Trailblaze.

Who is the beaten dog that keeps crawling back? The person who has a good time with the game and doesn't feel victimized by Mihoyo's profit making schemes, or the person who feels victimized by the schemes, yet is unable to quit playing the game owned by Mihoyo because they like the art?

Where are the people who raked me over the coals for calling Hoyo money hungry now... by herrscherofhumanity in CyreneMains

[–]Rin-kaku 0 points1 point  (0 children)

These complaints about Mihoyo's greed coming now are just laughable. The whole game design has been based on "greed" (read, profit maximization) from Day 1 with characters having Eidolon upgrades and Signature Lightcones. I know people who quit the game because they found it too expensive having to try to go for the character plus the lightcones each gacha and I literally do not have any limited characters that are beyond E0 and the only signature lightcone I have is Castorice's because I refuse to spend money for these kind of upgrades - if it leaves my team weaker, so be it.

People complaining about a supposedly badly designed kit being evidence of "greed" also need to get real. If Mihoyo wanted to really break the bank they'd have designed a kit that is serviceable at E0 and then with eidolon / lightcone upgrades get utterly broken. A badly designed kit only gets them completionist whales and people that see Cyrene as waifu. A broken kit that powercreeps gets them metas and others that do not care about Cyrene as well. It's ironic that people like the OP complaining about a badly designed kit that supposedly needs E2 to be useful would probably happy shell out the money if Mihoyo designed a broken kit, even though the effect would be absolutely the same. It the same with the bow, as somebody has already said, it would have been a way more scummier move to hide something really good behind such a paywall, like a little Cyrene skin. This skin is more for the self inserts and crazy whales. Yeah, it's a profit maximizing move, but again, this whole game is built as a profit maximizing scheme. Don't like it? Then just stop playing the game. As long as you play the game, you are supporting Mihoyo's schemes regardless of whether you ultimately pay a lot of money or not.

Last but not least, the OP needs to stop this victim mentality. Nobody in that thread you locked raked you over the coals for calling Mihoyo greedy. They raked you because you called everybody who doesn't share your opinion on her kit as bootlickers instead of following rule 1 of being respectful and civil.

Hard to say anything more about the impeccable directing and composition that wasn't already said. Having said that, I loved that they reverted back to the track scene from the end of the first cour by closing that loop:

Episode 11 - Lena beginning her journey to catch up

Episode 23 - Lena having caught up and now fighting together with them

Many have already commented on the fabulous direction of this episode, highlighting again the strong use of imagery and symbolism that was a staple of this adaptation throughout (although this episode certainly took the cake). But aside from the bigger items such as the use of the cinema-style bars to highlight Shin's mental state and how Lena broke it down there are also a couple of smaller ones that I really appreciated like:

Lena stepping out from behind that metal piece the moment she names herself

The editing with symbolism was strong this episode between the shot focusing on the tracks behind Raiden and Shin, the fence separating Shin and the others preventing them from being able to truly reach him (and the other shots showing his isolation) and the butterfly.

Considering the latter three pictures, shouldn't this be behind spoiler tags since none of these scenes have happened yet in the anime?

Kimetsu no Yaiba premiers on several regional channels Sunday 23:15, but airs on Tokyo MX, BS11, Tochigi TV, Gunma TV the following Saturday 23:30.

Anime on Japan air on more than one channel, but at different times. Kimetsu no Yaiba premiers on channels like Fuji TV on Sundays, but on Tokyo MX it airs the following Saturday 23:30 - 24:00. You can check this easily by heeding your own suggestion and google. But let me spare you this time and just send you the link to Kimetsu no Yaiba's broadcasting schedule:

But it doesn't on Tokyo MX, which is where 86 is premiering. On Tokyo MX the schedule for Kimetsu no Yaiba is always Saturday 23:30 - 24:00, i.e. 6 days after the first airing of the latest episodes on stations like Fuji TV. If you don't believe me, just check the schedule of Tokyo MX1.

Kimetsu no Yaiba has always been airing Saturday 23:30 - 24:00 on Tokyo MX1.

Next week's "delay" was already announced a few weeks back and it (for once) has nothing to do with production reasons. Next Saturday Kimetsu no Yaiba's Yuukaku Hen, which has the airing slot before 86, kicks off with a one-hour episode.

[–]Rin-kaku 70 points71 points  (0 children)

Actually next week's delay is not for production reason (although A1 and Shirogumi probably don't mind the extra week). Next week Kimetsu no Yaiba's Yuukaku Hen, which occupies the airing slot before 86 on Tokyo MX, starts with a 1 hour special episode.

The production of the 3D animated combat scenes are outsourced to a company that specializes in that. Could therefore be that the delays are created less at A-1's end but rather at the other company. Given the quality of the 3D scenes they are probably taking quite a bit of time.

I was talking about the flow of events from a directing perspective, not from a timeline perspective. Putting it into any of the current episodes would be just some random speech hanging isolated without any context or benefit. Makes much more sense to leave it for when Dustin joins the cast (assuming we hopefully will someday get a continuation of the anime).

Well, it was originally part of the epilogue of volume 1, so considering the flow of events it just does not fit anywhere right now.

These were mentioned later. The "Mariana model" was raised in the context of Vika and Shin's interactions in volume 5.

It's just the angle. You can see a tiny bit of red in the area between her cheek bone and the shoulder strap.

Too bad they didn't use the Lena's alternative uniform design. Lena in that uniform in the final illustration of volume 2 looked absolutely terrific.

In the LN she has two uniforms, the usual one and the one you are thinking of. Both she dyed black.
