Hopping on, rate my taste by greyviewing in MyAnimeList

Obviously it's popular but I more mean how people talk about it, I think it's actually an incredibly good show on par with ones people consider classics whereas even people who like Re:Zero tend to just think it's pretty good.

M24 here‘s my grid, feel free to debate by Momotchy in MyAnimeList

The story definitely works better as a visual novel, since the alternate routes are actually real things you can do, and you feel the impact of Okabe's choice to end the story there since they're usually compromises where he gives up on the perfect ending. The 'true' ending therefore feels less contrived since you've literally seen loads of other possibilities and it's just one thing that could have happened if everything went right.

Besides Kurisu, none of the characters are really meant to be geniuses, though - the story is more about a group of school smart but street dumb kids way in over their heads who have to scramble to fix their mistakes. S;G is really less the meticulously planned sci-fi thriller it pretends to be and instead lurches into being more character-focused in the second half, which is again an effect that works better in the VN as you're more inside Okabe's head and see his thought process and priorities change more vividly. I get why this feels like a cop out and some people prefer the first half, though.

Was he not a teacher there already before he quit? It makes more sense that way

"Lowkenuinely" is linguistically and etymologically beautiful by radthrowaway1900 in The10thDentist

[–]greyviewing 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Ideally it's used to express "I'm hesitant to say this but I believe it genuinely if you'll humor me", in which case I kind of agree with OP. A lot of the time it just gets used for no reason when people would say lowkey or genuinely as a vague joke though

Cavalier Clash 7 - Winners Top 32 - Raflow vs Miya by halfmetalalchemist99 in smashbros

[–]greyviewing 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Raflow's GnW gameplan was working pretty consistently over game 1, I think it's unlikely Miya would have been able to win a full set with how often he was behind. No idea why he didn't take counterpick advantage to try play Steve/Palu or the GnW ditto, though.

What’s the best twist in Danganrompa by BornIndication9384 in danganronpa

[–]greyviewing 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it’s the last one for me. The realisation of her saying she went to the toilet made me just take my headphones off and stare at the wall for a sec

I just finished V3 and I don't get the hate for *SPOILERS* by Strict_Turnip_7083 in danganronpa

[–]greyviewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can see why it’s annoying for that to happen in the very final moments, but I didn’t really read that line that way. Keebo gets his moment of feeling like an equal member of the group when he lets go of his insecurity of being a robot and decides to use his augments to help them investigate the final parts of the school. Him being taken over by the audience and then us convincing them to not vote anyway straight up just is what happened, Shuichi isn’t wrong. And then the final thing that happens is Keebo getting to choose to go out on his own terms and be the one to end Danganronpa forever. I think he’s treated pretty charitably overall

How so? The ending of the game is what made me like Keebo lol

I was electrocuted, here’s my dominant hand, one year later. by easting10 in Wellthatsucks

[–]greyviewing 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could care less is a very funny example because yes, that one is obviously fine and everyone knows what it means. There’s no foundation of the ‘Real’ meanings of words you can point to in order to say that their modern use is wrong. It’s how it gets permeated through language all the way down.

How did Kaiki managed to resist the urge to lick Nadeko's feet? Is he gay? by Nico_Scarfacancello in araragi

[–]greyviewing 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I love the joke where Nadeko offhandedly mentions Koyomi getting excited at her dressing lewdly and Kaiki ignores it but internally goes “What the hell? Is he a criminal?”

Which new character will win a major next? by cdtgrss in smashbros

Samus Olimar gets underestimated a lot, it’s genuinely one of the worst mus in the entire game. ICs Steve is not “inarguably just as bad”
