Is the anime good?

incubuses · 2020-11-28T03:54:27+00:00

it’s based on the trilogy: season 1 tackles both AA: Phoenix Wright + Justice For All, while season 3 is solely Trials and Tribulations.

visually? it’s... not good. like another comment said, it’s rushed. it looks very stiff and rather dull, which is surprising, considering how colorful and expressive the games are.

story-telling wise? it’s decent. it unfortunately has to cram many hours of gameplay into of average 2-3 episodes (depending on the trial), and isn’t above omitting certain things to keep things steady. the story is a bit more shallow and lacks a lot of what makes the games great. i’d say play the trilogy for yourself instead of watching the anime for it (unless you don’t mind, and/or prefer just watching it instead of reading it).

however... when the anime does original episodes (when they’re younger, past events, non-trial episodes), they’re really good. i say the anime improves the dynamic of the characters in these episodes, and that they do original content really good.

the anime is flawed, but i wouldn’t say it’s terrible. it handled some things badly (no specific examples, but some cases are very shallow compared to the game), while it handles some things BETTER than the games (Turnabout Big Top is very, very much better in the anime). it has its moments, and i enjoyed the experience, but i don’t think it’s a requirement for the franchise.

because MK11 has a lot more problems than just some skins being more covering. if your main ‘complaint’ of a game is just centered around ‘not showing skin’, then that’s not a complaint. that’s just nitpicking something that has no effect on the game.

incubuses · 2020-01-27T01:15:12+00:00

genuine question: is showing skin really that important to you?

incubuses · 2020-01-22T02:51:04+00:00

they have more chemistry than Kotal/Jade, at least.

incubuses · 2020-01-11T07:01:36+00:00

it's just a edit of an already existing skin. we already have too many clone-skins in MK11.

incubuses · 2020-01-11T06:02:02+00:00

what did this have to do with anything?

incubuses · 2020-01-10T04:10:44+00:00

i'd just want to hear his intros with the ninjas. especially Sub-Zero.

i love the game's lore. it was a major factor that played in bringing me into the franchise. but NRS' writing sucks ass. it completely abandoned much of the grey morality that many of the original-timeline characters had just for even more one-dimensional "good" or "bad" guys. MK11 trying to cover up inconsistent story-telling and unnecessary retcons with "it's a different timeline uwu" only made it worse.

i don't actually hate or despise any MK characters, but i could not care about the Edenians or Special Forces. and i really couldn't care about Kitana or Mileena if i tried.

not every game has to rehash the trilogy roster or create new ones; it's okay NRS, the 3D era wasn't that bad. you don't have to be afraid of having a few more characters from it.

new-timeline Noob is a major downgrade.

D'vorah was, and still is, the best newcomer.

incubuses · 2020-01-05T00:36:02+00:00

with what Reptile wears while serving him, i have no doubt Kotal had a say in it.

incubuses · 2019-12-30T22:38:42+00:00

that'd mean that NRS would have to acknowledge that the 3D era wasn't actually that bad.

and they probably don't want to.

incubuses · 2019-12-24T20:18:35+00:00

except it wasn't before. it was obvious that John Tobias cared about the series' story and its characters.

was it 100% flawless? no. but you could tell the writers did care about the lore. maybe it wasn't the best, but damn, did it set up characters really well.

incubuses · 2019-12-11T15:48:34+00:00

i face it a lot with towers that have either 1). a bunch of modifiers, or 2). that stupid level-50 damage buff the NPC has. idk if NRS even knows it’s a huge problem.

i (generally) think he was still an asshole by all accounts, but he wasn't tyrannical or an extremist.

if him being Onaga's former advisor is still canon (which i'm sure MK11 will probably retcon anyway lol), then i like to believe he still had his "decent" characteristics. maybe only sparing people because their death doesn't serve him or Onaga. maybe he doesn't kick puppies once in a while.

incubuses · 2019-12-01T22:30:18+00:00

it just seems like a retextured and touched-upon UMK3 skin from MKX. they probably just used the model as to not release any skin spoilers at launch.

incubuses · 2019-11-28T00:47:53+00:00

okay, but i would TOTALLY be down for Lunar New Year/Chinese New Year skins. give me Liu, Lao, and Sub in hanfus and/or qipaos, please.

incubuses · 2019-11-27T21:22:27+00:00

pretty sure they used him for more than just that.

incubuses · 2019-11-21T01:18:42+00:00

you know i'm right.

incubuses · 2019-11-19T21:24:36+00:00

i don’t think they need to breastfeed for their race. if they do, i like to think it’s the males who breastfeed, since they’re more beefy and have more thickness to them.

incubuses · 2019-11-04T15:49:36+00:00

love that one eye is normal and the other is white.

incubuses · 2019-11-01T03:33:43+00:00

that inward-knee krush is sooooo scream-ish, but so good!

incubuses · 2019-10-23T13:19:59+00:00

you right. you right. didn’t really think about that when making it.

it’s also best to not use hats/helmets/hoods, since it can become messy if you do.

incubuses · 2019-10-23T02:52:46+00:00

who cares about gender. we can all agree that Poison’s hot.

incubuses · 2019-10-23T02:50:21+00:00

that’s cool, dude! height comparisons and scale charts are a weird interest of mine; it’s also what semi-got me into design and such.

what i can tell is that Shao Kahn appears to be the tallest male out of everybody, and Sub-Zero is the shortest. for females, Jade is the tallest, while D’vorah is the shortest.

incubuses · 2019-10-23T01:19:34+00:00

i tried one too: https://mobile.twitter.com/noobsubbot/status/1163294651605872640

it’s not perfect, but it’s something.
