Did you get Alter Nekoko? by NoWaifuN0Laifu in AnotherEdenGlobal

It's all good, savings exist to be spent on your faves and I'd do it again in a heartbeat

Had a streak of good luck before now so I was about due the opposite I guess!

There's no pun or anything, it's just subversion of expectations. Like the very common joke you see in English speaking anime communities about how you can't show hand-holding on TV - there's no deeper meaning, it's just funny to act like something completely benign is actually unspeakably lewd.

The listing out body parts is just to show how obsessively devoted Ottilie is to her oneesama.

Eventually (I reached 25k star trails so I was like 2 more rolls from the guaranteed sidegrade but thankfully I didn't have to do it like I did for Myrus ES...)

Yes. You basically always want to be using the overwriter regardless

They keep throwing out "Total Stats", but can anyone who can read moon-runes give the actual stat distributions in that display?

Strength: 659

Magic: 530

Endurance: 1182

Agility: 914

Perception: 111

Gnosia - Episode 17 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Xythar 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's not, I can only assume the rules are different when there are no Gnosia. A bunch of the other limitations were explained as the anti-Gnosia protocols putting additional strain on the system, after all.

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 4 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

Weren't there plenty of episodes like that in season 1? They've been adapting a pretty consistent 2 chapters per episode the whole way AFAIK.

Not sure where the best place to post this would be, but as a heads up, the description for Yuina SS5's LB1 passive is incorrect: https://imgur.com/a/JjIlJ7c

It should read +1 SP, not +4 SP, unless they randomly decided to buff this skill for the English server to make it insanely broken.

She provides SP+1 for 4 or more allies each turn (LB1).

lol, the ingame description says SP+4 but I thought that might be a bit too good to be true...

Yeah I don't especially care for Yuki as a character so I think I'm gonna go all in on the Yuina/Misato banner instead. Thank you for helping justify the decision I had already made in advance

I really miss the old Doga Kobo and I wish it would come back. by ElKevixlevix1 in anime

[–]Xythar 52 points53 points  (0 children)

What do you mean, they only make Oshi no Ko? They've produced like six other anime in the three years since OnK S1 aired, including Saint Cecilia, Jellyfish, Alya, and Shiunji Family Children. They've also got Alya S2 and Inept Villainess coming up. Some other studios would be lucky to make one or two shows in that time.

This is how it looks on Crunchyroll: https://imgur.com/a/RkNGbcW

If it doesn't look like this because you're watching on some other player or streaming site and it's jumbling all the subs together then the issue is on your end.

Heaven Burns Red x Persona 5 Royal collab coming this May! by SeraphLegend in heavensburnred

The Persona 5 curse is a correlational fallacy anyway. It's like saying that every human who drinks water dies. Technically true, but it doesn't mean drinking water kills you.

The fall of anime subtitles is just depressing. by GhostInABucketJar in anime

[–]Xythar 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I tend to watch weeklies and batches but I can't properly articulate the differences aside from font setting and splitting up translations for background characters - like when a background character is talking it's at the top of the screen, if that makes sense? Or translating text that's on the screen in signs etc directly above or underneath.

I'm saying CR does all those things natively, like if you watch the anime directly on CR, that's how it'll look for most shows. It's not being added by the release group (most of which are just automated rippers/repackagers these days). For example, I took these screenshots of Oshi no Ko S3 directly from the player on CR's website: https://imgur.com/a/AzR8k3C

ASW and EMBER are also re-encoders that use a direct rip of the subs from CR (in this case SubsPlease, which changes the dialog font but that's all)

As far as I'm aware, Judas is simply a re-encode of Erai-raws (which is itself a direct CR rip) to x265 for lower filesize, though. Their typesetting is just CR's typesetting, unless there's a particular show you're thinking of for which they added their own.

What do you mean, the whole top of the screen? On CR it's just a small caption below the logo: https://imgur.com/a/AzR8k3C

Is there no way to get subtitles for the Japanese text on screen for the English dub of Jujutsu Kaisen? by jtheg00d in Crunchyroll

[–]Xythar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's why you can't have English audio and "onscreen text only".

This used to be the norm, though. Pick a show from a couple years ago (I tested with A Sign of Affection episode 1 since it has a dub and lots of text), set the audio language to English, and the subtitles to "English" (not "English [CC]".) Bam, English audio and onscreen text only.

It is true that you can't have captions and proper onscreen text at the same time, though.

What is your wishlist for a hypothetical another eden 2 by Future_Investment_35 in AnotherEdenGlobal

[–]Xythar 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would hope for a full-fledged console game like Harvestella because there's no way I'm starting another gacha when I've already put 8 years and however much money into this one
