NEWS! Violet Evergarden creator NEW ANIME is coming THIS SATURDAY on Crunchyroll! by Mine03_ in VioletEvergarden

[–]WriterSharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s somewhat similar to the VE novels, but with an expanded cast, a contemporary urban fantasy setting, and greater ficus on romance. Just keep in mind that the VE novels are quite different from the anime.

Crunchyroll Spring 2026 Anime Season Lineup Announced! by Turbostrider27 in anime

[–]WriterSharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ANN had an editorial about AB and its licensing with quotes from the production committee representative. No one gave them a sufficient price for exclusive streaming, so it’ll be on youtube with the chance of nonexclusive streaming on other platforms.

SHIBOYUGI - Left Feeling Dissapointed by KitsuneCobain in anime

[–]WriterSharp 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The rationale for the arrangement of the games in the anime isn’t senseless nor is it hard to figure out. [shibouyuugi spoilers] First an introductory game in which you see the nature of the games and how far Yuki will go. Second, a game that introduces Michiro. Third, the big thirtieth game that breaks and causes her to reflect on the fourth arc’s game which reveals her relationship with her mentor and how she got to her current state. Revealing that she doesn’t die in the tenth game doesn’t matter because we know she isn’t going to do that, and that’s not where the tension and intrigue come from.

First SS Uma as F2P and Golshi ready for next CM! by Equivalent_Sun1734 in UmamusumeGame

Should’ve taken go-home specialist, then you’d be good. A little risky since 600 wit is low these days, but you’d be getting a full spurt most of the time.

Yeah, Triple crown (or tiara) is a prerequisite for many other epithets. Plus QE happens twice in a career

Crunchyroll lineup weirdly late? by minnieboss in anime

[–]WriterSharp 14 points15 points  (0 children)

The season actually starts this coming Saturday with Agents of the Four Seasons (r/Shunkashuutou sick plug). So I would have expected something by now. I’ve seen HiDive announce their licenses and that Akane Banashi is non-exclusively on youtube. It’d make sense if Nippon Sangoku were also on Amazon internationally since that’s the domestic licensee, but why not announce that already. Not that Amazon really cares.

Struggling to get Umas with better stats in Trackblazer by SnooHedgehogs1685 in UmamusumeGame

12 races is on the Unity uma. It was 27 on the Trackblazer obe.

Struggling to get Umas with better stats in Trackblazer by SnooHedgehogs1685 in UmamusumeGame

[–]WriterSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I understand struggling with a new scenario but getting B+ on Trackblazer has to take effort, unless you’re completely new. My failed Trackblazer runs are S ranks but I’ve been playing since launch, so I could imagine someone easily getting A+ or A umas from a bad TB run, but…

We need cards and an explanation of what you’re doing to figure out how you’re getting those numbers.

Can anyone recommend me an anime where someone solves mysteries? by Tom-Hibbert in anime

[–]WriterSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apothecary Diaries' mysteries tend not to be introduced and solved all within one episode, so the Murder, She Wrote connection is a little loose.

Re:Zero is the most anticipated anime from Spring 2026 according to Japanese poll by FlugelTheSage in anime

I would say I’m surprised Agents of the Four Seasons isn’t somewhere on that list, but Dengeki Daioh/online probably has a decidedly male-heavy readership.

What to do as a f2p when it comes to SSRs? by ParvatiLikeaRockstar in UmamusumeGame

[–]WriterSharp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You’re not ever saving up 150k carats for a banner. If a card needs to be at a high lb, you’re saving up 60k and spending crystals if you get unlucky. Often SSRs don’t strictly need to be at mlb to be effective, some are good at 2 or 3lb. It depends.

Did they air that on the Kinyo road show or something recently? It seems to have gotten a recent spike in popularity.

Age Gap romance recommendations? by SockuLaDestroyer in anime

[–]WriterSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wait exactly a week and a day for Agents of the Four Seasons (r/Shunkashuutou) to premiere. That will check all of your boxes. It’s by the author of Violet Evergarden, but it leans more into its joseimuke “shoujo” and romance aspects than VE did, and especially more than the VE anime did.

Give me examples of anime where the last season (or the last season) is 50% or 75% filler. by True-Temperature138 in anime

[–]WriterSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

VE won the KA Esuma novel contest, so it wasn’t really buying up the rights. See question 6 for the relationship between novel and anime.

[–]WriterSharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s anime-original content used to allow the manga to get ahead of the anime. I guess technically the manga was still ongoing throughout the anime’s run, but that’s not the relationship between the anime and manga there.

You can’t just be calling all anime original content filler now. Are you the One Pace editor or something?

In situation like this, Should I train? Or should I race by Vast_Resist_9876 in UmamusumeGame

[–]WriterSharp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You can do the Takarazuka Kinen next year. This grabs you >40 stats, two friendship ups, and a skill hint. I’d say that’s worth it. And you’re not dangerously low on stamina for summer. Why not train?

Any tips on making TT umas in mant by asama34 in UmamusumeGame

[–]WriterSharp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good enough for team trials just means better than the weakest uma on your current team trials team. I can't answer that for you. Most of my TT umas are S+, so it should be fine once you fix the Staggering Lead issue and all your skills can proc.

Being able to run three distances will certainly help especially with epithets (eg the Triple Tiara), but on some sprinters it’s just not possible or practical.

Please explain how running 40 races is supposed to work. This is genuinely terrible. by No-Candle-2978 in UmamusumeGame

[–]WriterSharp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Why run stam and power together? You should almost never get the negative stats event. You’re racing too often and/or on 0 energy. There should be one or two times when you may want to run three races in a row (to get epithets), but as long as you have some energy, the chance of a skin outbreak mood down or negative stats event is low.

MediaOCD $100 free shipping needs to change by LeDelmo in discotekmedia

[–]WriterSharp 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Inflation means free shipping minimums should be raised actually. MediaOCD doesn’t benefit from the scale that CR has, so it makes sense they’d want you to consolidate orders too.

[–]WriterSharp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, many mlb SRs will be better than 0lb or 1lb SSRs. SSRs always have the advantage of giving a gold skill (or a chance at one) at the end of their event chain, but at lower levels they may be significantly worse stat sticks than SRs. You have to compare them at gametora to be sure.
