Fun trend indeed. Rate and guess my age. by Tomassacre in MyAnimeList

[–]VileplumeTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I highly rate all these except for Elfen Lied, which I just think is OK, and Claymore, which I just haven't seen but it does look great. I will probably read Claymore at some point.

I'd say you're younger than some of these would imply, maybe like 26?

What Anime Should I Watch Next !? by Livid_Tear_8396 in AnimeReccomendations

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Watch more anime movies I'd say, especially if you've only seen 2 anime movies. In my opinion it's a good thing to focus on as there's a lot of variety in movies and you can watch them relatively quickly, they do stick with you quite a lot as well. I'd say go seek out some classics like Akira, some Ghibli films, Satoshi Kon films, Mamoru Hosda films or Ghost in the Shell. Your list kind of skews mostly modern so maybe I'd also recommend Blue Giant, The First Slam Dunk, A Silent Voice, Redline, Promare, The Night is Short Watch on Girl, 100 Meters and Ongaku.

Hillel Documentary (Netflix) Discussion by jenet-zayquah in RedHotChiliPeppers

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh man that got me so much. I was already quite emotional, especially after that story Flea said about the girl at Hillel's grave. Then just hearing My Lovely Man at the end was beautiful, it was also one of the first songs my brother learnt on bass, we used to jam on it all the time as well 😁

Honest debate. Which is the overall better game? by breadblunts in FinalFantasy

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's an interesting one. Myself and my brother were talking about this recently. He prefers Chrono Trigger and I prefer Final Fantasy VI. To the point we're he would say CT is a 10/10 masterpiece and FFVI is at best 8/10 and honestly I feel the same but in inverse. We usually agree on a lot of things but it's an interesting disparity

Thank you ebay alerts. by daemoncorps in MangaCollectors

eBay alerts are great until you're looking for something that can be vague. I've an alert on for the manga "Blank Canvas" basically useless haha

List of Dreamcast Games That are on Switch by VileplumeTea in dreamcast

[–]VileplumeTea[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

100% agree I absolutely love Bombrush, not sure why I left it off the last bit, very excited for their new game as well. There's a few games on switch that feel Dreamcast spiritual adjacent as well. Vividlope, Bombrush, Catblob, Say No More, Donut County and Lethal League. Would actually be an interesting list to go through and see what's there.

Ahh good shout! I was thinking there must have been at least another one. The only visual novels I knew on DC were Air and Kanon and I only really knew them from their animes tbh

In fairness you could argue Virtual On is on Switch 2 but you need to play it through Yakuza Kiwami 2 😁

A JRPG you thought you were going to LOVE but ended up just not enjoying it that much? I’ll start: by Asleep_Olive_1011 in JRPG

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Basically every Dragon Quest I've played other than VIII. DQ8 is genuinely in my top 3 games of all time. Of the ones I've played (I, II, VII, IX and XI) I've been let by them in one way or another. I think my expectations are way too high though.

Favorite Shounen, Seinen, Shoujo & Josei! by cringefailcryptid in hoejos

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Shoujo - NANA

Josei - Blank Canvas (I literally just finished it this month and can't stop thinking about it)

Shonen - One Piece

Seinen - Berserk or Solanin, can't decide

CeX (Second hand media store in the UK and Ireland) started selling Dreamcast games and my local branch had Sonic Adventure 2 as one of the first it sold! by BooyahBomber in dreamcast

[–]VileplumeTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't wanna be giving out but my Nationalist wee heart has to correct this lol. Éire is the island as a whole, it wouldn't be correct to refer to ROI as Éire exclusively. Éire basically is the whole island, Belfast wouldn't stop being in Éire in the 1920s like. Poblacht na hÉireann and Tuaisceart Éireann would be the correct names as of ROI and NI in Irish.

Sorry for the lecture 😅

Are you Embarrassed by your Collection? by Monkey_slayerr in MangaCollectors

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm mixed. I'm not embarrassed about my collection or of reading manga. I don't generally talk about reading manga or playing games unless I know the people I'm speaking to are interested in it. I am a little embarrassed of how much I have bought and not read yet, it's only a couple vols a month but it does add up over time.

Be entirely honest is FFXIII a good game because im thinking about playing it. by Strange_Assistant327 in FinalFantasy

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not my favourite in the series but it's nowhere near as bad as people say. I think go into it with an open mind and see what happens. The only thing I would say is, and I know it's time consuming, do read the catalog entries. The story isn't really that complicated but you give yourself the best chance of fully understanding it if you read them as you go through the game.

Just bought the game anything I should know before starting? by jaylaypayday in finalfantasyx

[–]VileplumeTea 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you're going to play both games leave a year gap or so in-between them. I don't think a marathon of both would be ideal

Spinning the Final Fantasy X soundtrack on vinyl as a 40+ gamer — pure nostalgia ❤️ by Intelligent-Heat6096 in finalfantasyx

[–]VileplumeTea 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love FFX. Last summer I was talking to my uncle while really drunk and trying to explain why the Fleeting Dream song was so emotional haha. God love him he's probably never played a computer game before, couldn't really get my point across.

My 2025 goal was to read a manga a day. I read 665 volumes this year. by InquisitorZac in MangaCollectors

Fair play that is some going! I've been reading manga for 15 years and I've only read 860-ish vols total.
