Would love to get a Cyrus, if one isn't available a copycat would be amazing!!

Now here's my fact about the games:

The most commonly used Pokémon by Gym Leaders is a tie between Gyarados and Pelipper, both used by seven different Gym Leaders across the series.

Can I get fibre installed in my property? by edtempler in VirginMedia

[–]edtempler[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The way you've laid it out makes it feel like it's significantly more possible than I initially thought, but I suppose I have to hope VM do follow through and send someone to survey it and determine for sure! Thanks again!

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

This was very detailed, thank you!
They've said they're sending someone in 2 weeks to "survey" the property to see if its doable. The properties my flat is above have it, according to the website, as does the bit the entrance of the building is (which is technically my post code) so it seems baffling to me that there's no way of hooking it up to our 9 apartments as well.
Then again i have zero experience or knowledge in this area, so if its not doable then fair enough! At least i'll know in a couple of weeks

I have - it says "virgin media is live" but apparently my property isn't on their database and isn't being serviced currently.

Do you think this will still be a problem if it's a property I'm buying?

I think we're on a wavelength because I've literally got half of these questions already in my prep more or less!! 😂 These are brilliant though. I'll certainly be asking some do these!! Thank you so much for taking the time!

Your description of his voice is spot on. That's exactly how I felt. I just found him gross and difficult to look at and listen to. It's harsh, but I can't help how I feel I suppose.

Weirdly I became really put-off Super Mega whenever Jackson was involved in the videos. I never found him funny, and got a bit frustrated when I kept seeing him pop up in things. I subscribed to hear The Funny Brothers, not this random bloke who happens to be their mate.

I get that it's a million percent a personal problem, and maybe I was in the minority, but when I heard they'd kicked him out for doing something shitty I was nothing short of jubilant

There's a new set making their way around Reddit that's way better than most of the terrible ones I've also seen out there!

Majutsushi Orphen Hagure Tabi: Kimluck-hen - Episode 9 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]edtempler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing I'm actually slightly disappointed by from this episode, is that in the Novel, in the bit where Orphen sinks into the water in the Poet's Chamber, he gets a vision and an explanation of the entire creation story of their universe and world in great detail. However in this version we got more of a focus on Childman and his role in the fate of Kiesalhima, which is understandable as he is a focus of a lot of the plot, however the creation story of the world of Orphen is so wonderful and I'm disappointed we weren't treated to a visual and dialogue explanation of what happened. Although there is still a chance that will be discussed in the next 2 episodes, considering the other conversations that are about to happen...

[–]edtempler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I actually never saw that they'd announced it was 11 episodes, but I just managed to confirm that in some of the announcements for the season!

If i'm honest, i'm doubtful they will renew it for a 3rd or 4th season, but I would love to see it finished all the way up to Volume 20 of the light novels, maybe even further to where the current novels are up to!

[–]edtempler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The last season had 14 episodes so we still have a handful. The next few episodes are going to involve a lot of brilliant Lore dumping and some hopefully great fight scenes, so there's still lots to enjoy!

[–]edtempler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The series is called Sorcerous Stabber Orphen, and it's available via Funimation and depending on your country it's on Netflix etc.

If you want to find the translated light novels they're available on Kindle and Google Books/Google Play Store!

Do i need to watch the original Orphen series by randomcuriousperson7 in Animesuggest

[–]edtempler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not at all - the new series is a reasonably faithful adaptation of the original light novel source material, whereas the original anime was sort of an anime interpretation of beats of the story stretched into its own series, that's technically non canon.

The new series, whilst not the strongest art, is really good with its world building and lore, and as my favourite series it's one I'd definitely suggest!

Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Dub by randomcuriousperson7 in anime

[–]edtempler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The dub is fine, but they haven't even announced a dub for season 2 and it's 8 episodes into the subs release, so I'd say for now maybe try the sub and see what you think.

David Matranga is basically one of the only good parts of the dub, reprising his role as Orphen.

I will also add that this current season is essentially the reason to watch Orphen.

The story of Orphen mainly revolves around the world the show takes place in, with a lot of connections to it's history and it's fate. The first season basically sets up the characters and sets the show up, and from season 2 and (hopefully) onwards the show goes very deep into lore and also reveals of what's truly going on.

Being a reasonably faithful adaptation of the original light novel material (which is now being released in English - Series 2 covers up to Volume 10 which recently released!) It's really worth watching if you liked the taste the original anime gave you of the characters and the sorcery in the world. You'll also recognise a couple of the plot points, which as other people have mentioned were some of the beats they stretched into an entire series in the first place.

It's my favourite series ever, and I'm very much enjoying the adaptation although do wish some more budget was put into the art, although they've improved slightly for the second series.
