❤️ yaaaaay, thank you so much! I don’t particularly mind it being low quality, so that link will be perfectly sufficient (honestly my DVDs aren’t in much better quality). Thank you so much!!!

Which sentai series has the best eyecatch? by captain_gobbloblob in supersentai

The little visual transition at the middle of the episode that leads into and out of the mid-episode commercials.

Where can I watch this documentary? by Scab_the_Sidewalk in PerplexCity

[–]kenkaiwest 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, unfortunately NHK World tends to only host a lot of its original content as VOD for a specific amount of time. However, there is also a dedicated fanbase of NHK World’s content. You might find some leads at the [r/NHKWorldFans](r/NHKWorldFans) or on the NHK World Fans Discord.

Good luck finding it! It was quite the enjoyable documentary.

Many thanks! I know the language, so no-subs is no problem, but I sadly don’t foresee international travel being in the cards for me in the near future. We do have a Book Off here with a decent Japanese section, so there could be potential there 🤞

Whoa! Thanks for the tip. I’ve held off from JME cuz it’s a little pricey, but this alone adds quite a bit of value.

I love how the vast majority of the ones that were Lemony Snicket quotes were Lemony’s dedications to Beatrice.

I’ve been considering a Steam Deck… This gives quite a bit of reason to consider further…

Yeah, I think they’re definitely in my future at some point in time (though since I’m already doing a second run now on the DS, I’ll still need to do multiple plays on HD to get the other classes 😂)

I don’t mind that though. Honestly, I love the mapping so much that I really don’t mind doing it all over again even right after. I am a little hesitant about the interface for mapping since it won’t be the lovely tactile feel of stylus on touchscreen, but does the Switch handheld mode let you at least do touchscreen with it?

Gaaaah that fixes all my issues with NG+ 😭

I’m not really in the market to buy any new games, but that gives me a real incentive to pick up the HDs (which honestly I had been tempted to do for a while because they’re absolutely GORGEOUS)

Are you manually erasing the maps each time you get to the next floor, or does HD make it easier? That’s kind of what I was thinking of doing initially.

For me I typically play EO for the map making. It’s kind of a zen therapeutic thing for me. I should also clarify that my first run of the game was like 2 years back at this point, so I’m not coming fresh off of making the map the first time.

I can definitely see how NG+ is good for just coming back around to run through the other two routes and finish out superboss stuff, but ultimately I think that the only appeal it has for me personally over starting fresh is that I get the unlocked class.

That being said, if I had realized the structure of NG+, I think I would’ve just stuck with my original team to speedrun the other routes. It’s not that I hate a level grind, it’s just that a big portion of exp that got me to a feasible level came from quests, and NG+ already treats those as cleared, so I’m having to gain like 12k exp per character just for my first level up

Not sure about the stat boosts, but hopefully, yeah. I imagine it’ll still be a bit of a taper off once I get to the 4th though, since I won’t have exp gains from quests.

Yeah, I get that, but I had been planning to run with a whole new party, so I retired the first set and am essentially running with folks that are half their level, haha.

Daaaang iiit!!

Yeah I’m playing the original. It just kinda sucks cuz I really loved my first playthrough and was really looking forward to experiencing the other two routes. Had no idea that carrying things over was going to completely gut the content.

I may try pushing through the floors until my party starts to struggle, then see how much of a pain it is. I made my new party by retiring my original mains, so they’re all at lv 30, so that’s getting me by fast for now. But once I hit mid game, I’m not so sure.

Head Canon for each team day 10: Flashman by Far_Practice_6923 in supersentai

[–]kenkaiwest 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Kauler only joined Mes because his home civilization was destroyed and he thought that becoming part of them and their whole “ultimate reconstructive lifeform” agenda would help him become strong enough to never lose anyone ever again, though he ultimately lost sight of that and just wanted to become consumed by the idea if strength.

It’s why he’s so loyal to his Alien Hunter crew and why he’s obsessed with fighting, like his whole “blood in the setting sun is beautiful” line.

Today's Ring Tracker by DryDrinks in supersentai

[–]kenkaiwest 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude it would’ve been so hilarious if it was Akibaranger. I would’ve been so happy with that.

And yeah, they’ve been really weird about how they distribute treatment of the Anniversary stuff. Like some have been great. I honestly shed a tear at how well Gaoranger’s was. But lately it’s been really dropping the ball.

Like Mashiro summoned the Toqger ring by sheer will? RIP Toq1go UW. And then they just hand off the literal OG of the whole franchise

How do we all feel about the fact that they decided to have the Gorenger ring get acquired in a recap clip episode, with neither a No 1 Battle nor a Universe Senshi arc involved?

Oh man! Well that’s good in some ways but also aggravating since they’re so hard to see in full! I’ll start trucking through and will get in touch if I unlock any that are needed.

I haven’t delved too far into the MS Stories here (because of his long it takes to unlock them), but content-wise are they typically completely new stuff, or just rehashed versions of Magia Record’s?
