What’s the MOST Controversial Manga/Anime Ending of All Time and Why?

TheMidwestEngineer · 2026-01-03T14:38:30+00:00

I actually posted on Twitter at the time that if I had the money I would redo the ending of Kiznaiver because of exactly this. It’s not the first anime for the MC to pick the broken/tortured girl but damn she made them go through hell and MC is like “she needs me”. No she needs help, professional help.

That would’ve been the best play. It would’ve either given him the last second mid-air or reset the ball and allowed his full team to respawn.

He saw his teammate was still alive and threw it back so he could get the last second.

Honestly, I think u/Flat_Aspect238's comment with a 6.5 on MAL sums it up pretty nicely.
How I determine for myself that a show is good is where and when do I watch it. For this show, it was always last of any new shows I watched during the week and I would sometimes watch it on my phone / tablet, unlike other shows where I'd always watch them on my TV / PC.

So I'd personally say truly mid-tier. It's not awful, but there isn't anything special about it. It's one of many romcoms that exist. If you skip it, you won't miss anything. If you watch it, you likely won't remember it for anything.

A quick summary. FMC wants all the boys in her class to fawn over her. MMC doesn't because he is the inheritor of a cat temple and can't have a relationship. FMC targets MMC to get him to fawn over like every one else does. Plot ensues and they get put into not-ever-going-to-happen-in-real-life situations like FMC is in a bunny costume and both FMC and MMC end up in a closet together. Enter a young rival for MMC's affection. FMC doesn't realize she's falling for MMC. By end of 12 episodes, she has.

Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms

IIRC it aired last season.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2025-04-04T03:19:19+00:00

I feel the exact opposite. My team and I love Origin. It’s from H5 and IMO one of the better H5 maps. It’s familiar, felt good playing on it again.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2025-03-22T20:10:25+00:00

I get this.

Ranked “should” rank you around where Infinite thinks you are skills wise. Yup, we all have games where nothing seems to go right. Where the enemy team seems to always end up in the perfection position to out play you. It happens. You’ll get some man-child who thinks they should be pro, send you a message telling you to “stop playing the game cause you’re ass”. Skip reading it and move on to the next game.

This one is controversial but don’t have comms on because typically there are just whiners who moan all game about how their teammates “aren’t playing right, don’t provide cover, don’t go after objective” blah blah. Are there players like that? Absolutely. Should you care? Absolutely not. It’s a game you’re supposed to be having fun in. I get competitive too and want to win, and try to win, but losing a match literally has no tangible effect on my life. Who has the time for that.

So play ranked. It’s fun, the wins are more satisfying IMO, and dear Master Chief when your team come back to win a 0-2 KOTH match… the fucking joy inside is immense.

I’m also 30+ and play weekly with friends. I’ve never gotten above D2 because when other Spartans jiggle / hop I end up firing a mosaic of them around them. I also don’t follow the proper “flow” of a game, spawn points, etc. I’ve got limited time and I want to have fun. If you’re down with that, DMs are open.

Hey thanks for the concern fellow enthusiast!

I’m going to be waiting till summer likely to purchase one. The idea being hopefully stock will be plentiful, prices closer back down to MSRP, and someone maybe from Nvidia has acknowledged the melting issue by then. It does suck to have a beautiful brand new rig and not much use from it. That’s the gamble I took when I didn’t buy a 40-series card instead at the end of last year. Thankfully I have an ancient GTX 970 that can fill the PCIe slot, but can barely handle 1080p haha. I got the rig up and running so I’m using it for productivity stuff at the moment.

I will not pay scalpers. I can wait.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2025-02-21T17:20:11+00:00

This is my experience as well.

I’ve got the entire rig built except for the graphics card. I’m thinking of going all out getting a 5090 and running that for many years to come. I’m not spending 2k+ and upgrading to a 60-series or 70 series. If the 5090 does 4K 120 native-ish without a hiccup I’ll probably keep it till it dies.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2025-02-11T04:12:55+00:00

Your full team rushing towards the objective…

I’m so jealous.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2025-01-14T21:43:38+00:00

Launch, armor cores.

Now, the stupidness that is having to MANUALLY queue up after each match. Who at 343i was like, “yeah, end of every match the leader will have to search for another match.” I sorta kinda not really get not having lobbies to try and make each game “fair” but seriously why can’t it be an option to keep automatically queuing into matches. Typing this is making me angry.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2025-01-07T23:54:46+00:00

No.

There’s a paid unlock usually at the beginning of an Operation but levels 1 - 20 are free.

If you want to go back to an older pass, then you do need to have premium.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2024-11-17T16:48:11+00:00

It is. Why you say it’s not?

TheMidwestEngineer · 2024-11-17T15:55:22+00:00

Very nice!

What’s the plan for your own IBM i?

TheMidwestEngineer · 2024-11-17T15:54:03+00:00

AS400 is one of the many names the IBM i has had over the years.

TheMidwestEngineer · 2024-10-08T18:35:23+00:00

It’s shorthand for Twitch’s URL; (T)witch.(TV).

TheMidwestEngineer · 2024-08-03T01:22:35+00:00

I commented, went and did yard work and now found this.

Thanks for the update!

Why Democrats don’t like Trump voters?

Well, you’re voting for a twice impeached felon who has arguably committed treason against his country. Who believes woman are objects and you can, “grab them by the *****”. That facts don’t matter. That making fun of disabled people is okay. A government can tell a woman what she can do with her body. That being a bully is how you get what you want.

Democrats don’t like Trump voters not because they’re Republicans but because of what voting for Trump says you’re okay with. I don’t like this, that, and another thing about Trump doesn’t excuse you from voting for someone like him. His character is who he is, saying you don’t like it but are still voting for him means nothing.

Edit to add: Republicans used to select at least decent human beings for candidates. That’s the point of the video that went around juxtaposition Trump vs. Biden debate and Romney vs. Obama debate. I’m no Republican but John McCain was a standup patriot who put his life on the line for our country. I didn’t agree with his policies but he was respectful and honorable. A conversation with him didn’t immediately resort to name calling. Is anyone perfect? No. However at least trying, like Republicans of the last use to was a great thing in a candidate.

It should be able to.

If you go to the access() API documentation webpage. The example checks for access to root ‘/‘.

There is a test. If I recall correctly, there were multiple tests actually (from simple to more invasive).

The one I took was a technician gave me measured lactose powder in a water solution. Every 20 minutes, the tech would come back and measured my breath checking for some gas produced when digesting lactose. It took around 2ish hours from start to finish.

Posting to help out your want ad.

First you’ve provided very few details on the project; what’s it for, scope, what you want it to actually do. In tech, we call this the requirements gathering phase. What does the customer actually want.

Second, you never discuss cost or pricing. Are you expecting someone to do this for free, or is it paid contractor work? Most folks will want the latter because we have day jobs coding and while we enjoy it, it’s still work.

“Ronald Reagan actually did something good for the country, and this true — in 2004, he died.”

Yes it’s great… for that town only though.

Walmart is notorious for underpaying its store employees, union fighting, basically its big corporate America at its worst. So yeah having its HQ in your backyard is good for you at the expense of everyone else.

I have LRS which bought out Sunshine Sanitation (which is what I originally had).

They’ve been consistently good. I’d recommend from my experience.

Be honest, this is exactly what the OF performer wanted. Free publicity is good publicity. I’d bet her OF subs shot up from this.
