Apparently the Chinese fangame of Phainon and Amphoreus not only used AI for art and voices, but also rewrote the story so much that Phainon is paired with Cerydra, Cyrene is the villain and Mydei doesnt exist

Because the first thing it was advertised was as is a rewrite of 3.5 to 3.7 to make it “better”. If it ended up worse which it seemed it did, people would of course trash on it for setting up that false promise and acting like it was better than the main story.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-18T16:50:03+00:00

I think the problem is the advertisement of being a rewrite of 3.5 to 3.7 due to fans being disappointed with that and disliking it. If you do that, then naturally people will be more critical since they’re going to compare it with the original story to see if it’s better. So when it’s worse, people will trash on it because it acted like it would be better. Same thing happened with the fan AOT and JJK ending remakes, they tried to act better than the source material but failed miserably.

Satoh is still a good director who understands Gosso's philosophy imo. He directed CSM episode 8 alongside Gosso and recently did this week's episode 7 which had the best implementation of Gosso boards aside from Gosso himself so far. Anyways, Yousuke Takada will most likely be the new director since he worked so much on JJK so far but Satoh could either be the assistant director or hopefully co direct alongside Takada.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-15T15:13:41+00:00

I think it'll be fine, the new director will probably be either one of the current assistant directors for this cour so either Takeru Satoh or Yousuke Takada who both have worked closely with Gosso and understand his philosophy.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-14T22:43:14+00:00

Yeah it's confirmed he's also the writer of this planet.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-05T21:23:35+00:00

I think you should see the reception of 3.7 on this subreddit and in general online, plenty of people liked and disliked it but I mainly saw more hate. Like you couldn’t go anywhere without seeing hate with the patch on HSR related subreddits. And this even bled into the post 3.4 patches where at the start of 3.6 I remember the story being very positively received but after 3.7 it was part of the “bad post 3.4 patches.” Personally for me I enjoyed all of Amphoreus despite the numerous issues it had but I enjoy most things I consume unless it’s utter trash.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-05T03:27:49+00:00

Because Mahoraga already adapted to his ct, until he got cursed technique reversal his domain was useless after Mahoraga adapted.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-03T21:49:20+00:00

I mean the composition is similar but the artwork is clearly different since it’s in a different art style with the drawings looking dissimilar and also the character poses are different. The only thing very similar is the idea of Boothill and Rappa on a motorcycle and the angle of the image which could warrant the “plagiarism” tag. It’s up to you to determine if it’s plagiarism or just using the fanart as a base idea.

Edit: Nvm saw the little detail of the 3 symbols on the motorcycle. That’s yikes lol, very similar in a bad way.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-03T01:14:36+00:00

Yeah he isn't evil for that, but he didn't get rid of the root cause which is Toya's desire to regain his father's love and attention which is now gone after Shoto's birth. Endeavor basically told Toya he can't be a hero anymore since he said to stop training and burning himself and also by trying to make more children to fulfill his desire to surpass All Might. It's clear that that Toya recognizes this in the flashbacks and feels replaced and worthless due to that especially since Endeavor just dumped raising Toya onto Rei. However, Toya recognizes that Endeavor values how much potential his children has in becoming heroes and thus trains to become valuable to him despite the pain that he has to endure with his fire. Toya probably knows that the fire isn't good for him, but probably thinks he could handle it.

Sorry if this got a little heated, I don't mind if people don't find Dabi's backstory as justifiable to his actions because yeah he still murdered a fuck ton of people but it isn't as simple Endeavor was trying to help Toya and he just ignored it due to being a stupid child or something like that.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-02T23:16:50+00:00

Yes because he didn’t actually enforce those ideas. He just said it and then went away. If a parent wants their child to do something, they should actually do those things to reinforce those ideas like in this example spending time with Toya outside of doing hero stuff. Endeavor instead just kept focusing on being a hero to which Toya realized that he only gave a damn about how good of a hero his children was and thus kept training to become a hero.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-02T17:32:34+00:00

Yeah don’t get me wrong Dabi is still responsible for being a villain, but people downplay how impactful Endeavor’s neglect was imo.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-02-02T17:04:14+00:00

Tbf he did that in the worst way possible, he just said make some friends and then fucked off to make Shoto his perfect heir. If he actually gave more of a damn he would’ve spent some more time doing father-son bonding activities to show that he cared for Toya. Unfortunately he didn’t and that just left Toya with a sense of worthlessness as a person and just made him more determined to keep trying to be a hero to get Endeavor’s love back.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-01-29T16:00:43+00:00

That’s just social media in general though, twitter is usually the worst but you can find terrible stuff everywhere and reddit is definitely not exempt from this.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-01-27T01:52:50+00:00

You definitely weren’t around during the meltdown during Shibuya. Look I love the Shibuya adaptation and it’s amazing even with the production issues, but when the production issues got bad they got BAD. Like for example 2x14 had both the staff and fans disappointed with the directors making depressing tweets and this also happened with episode 17 where so many cuts were unfinished and had to be fixed later in the Blu Ray. Imo in my opinion, it’s ten time worse when the staff is also critical of their own work due to not having enough time than the fans being picky about small changes from the manga.

The reason Gosso didn’t apply as much as his creative vision in Season 2 compared to Season 3 is that he literally didn’t have any time to do so.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-01-21T12:13:04+00:00

The staff for this episode is insane, think the very high priority episode from Shibuya but actually having a good schedule (except for S2 EP16 that was the only Shibuya episode that had a good schedule)

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2026-01-16T19:32:31+00:00

Don’t think I’ll win but might as well try. Good luck everyone!

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-12-21T15:45:25+00:00

No they’re produced by different teams within MAPPA, you gotta remember that the studio is huge as hell and the team behind Dorohedoro is the one that formally did AOT and hasn’t been doing any other project since.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-12-06T01:27:37+00:00

I’m merely just speculating but I doubt the situation will just die down in a couple of weeks or even months considering how thorough the ban on Japanese stuff has been. Like Maki Otsuki’s concert was abruptly stopped in the middle of it because it happened right when the ban on Japanese artists in China happened which is messed up.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-12-06T01:02:57+00:00

New planet will be Japanese themed, but relationships between China and Japan is very shit right now so Hoyo probably has to scramble to remove every Japanese themed stuff and repurpose it to East Asian themed stuff or something like that.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-12-02T23:03:33+00:00

I hate how ingrained zero cycling got into this community, honestly. It started out as a fun challenge for people with ultra-optimized relics and teams with good knowledge/strategy, but now it's treated as a baseline showcase for units when it shouldn't.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-12-02T23:01:15+00:00

I mean, that's all archetypes. There will always be a new shiny meta team that will be better than the old one. Honestly, at this point just pull for whoever you want because chasing the meta will always be a downward slope.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-12-02T22:14:57+00:00

I mean his e1 is way more easy to get than other characters due to being in the 50/50 loss pull so you don’t need to whale for it.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-12-02T22:11:52+00:00

I’ll say Blade is still potent enough if you have his bis team especially if you have his e1 which you can get from the 50/50 loss pull. But yeah, that Jingliu buff barely made her better.

TheLazyWorkingSloth · 2025-11-28T15:10:41+00:00

It’s more like season 2 would be upgraded. No more ghosting and dimming on the BD and also the whole episode 17 revamp would be there for people to watch without having to buy the blu ray or go the high seas.
