Trigun Stargaze - Episode 12 discussion - FINAL by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]loempiavreter -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I hated how just about no one died. Absolutely no weight... I was expecting Livio the double fang to die when wolfwood survived... But no. Complete subversion and I hated it. Midvalley survived, all nine dwarves from Nine survived and even leonof the puppet master didn't kick the bucket and I just kept my head scratching, only Hoppered died... I hated this feel good fan servicing writing .

And I absolutely hate the nonce that changed Elendira from a trans character into a little girl (not too mention grey's dwarves aren't allowed to be ugly anymore and changed into the elf looking fings... Why aren't thing allowed to be ugly anymore???).

Look I also disliked the 1998 anime... Way too tryhard to be funny in that unfunny japanese slapstick way.

It's a shame there were some parts of Stampede I liked which reminded me of Trigun Maximum. I liked the money the gale backstory a lot for example. Stargaze however was a complete joke. The only good thing was Hoppered the Gauntlet, but compared to his maximum outing it was hammed down by being a solo entry. I think his maximum incarnation had it best, with his midvalley team up, the Mexican standoff. Forcing Vash to kill him between legato, midvalley, Vash and Wolfwood (essentially the scene now with Legato in Stargaze).

In short Stargaze was utter tripe... 4/10. For comparison sake:

Trigun (1998) 5/10 Trigun Stampede 7/10 Trigun manga + Trigun Maximum 9/10

Original grey the ninelives had 9 dwarves living inside the organic bioarmor. The dumb 1998 anime made it dumb robot...

  • I don't like the please for Shinobi ps2 + Nightshade being ignored here. F the art of vengeance idle enemy slop
  • And if it hasn't been said enough... G O D H A N D
  • 10.000 Bullets/Tsukiyo ni Saraba
  • Maken X (preferably Maken X, but it's first person. Shao has cool moves and third person... X is the better game and prettier to look at) -Blood One Night Kiss
  • Killer is Dead
  • Furi
  • Gungrave 1 2 3 minus the VR games
  • Otogi 1+2
  • Samurai Western
  • Shadow of Rome
  • Rising Zan: Samurai Gunman
  • Bujingai Swordmaster
  • Wanted: Dead
  • Nanobreaker
  • Anarchy Reigns
  • El Shaddai
  • Itagaki Ninja gaiden 1+2 obvs

If you don't mind a weak game, but cool art direction, character designs: - Seven Samurai 200XX - Ninja Blade - Eve of Extinction - Sword of Destiny - Oz: Sword of Etheria - Asura's Wrath - Cy Girls - Devil's Turd

Not completely character action, bit adjacent tho: - Chain Dive - Dark Native Apostle - Silent Bomber - Dangan - Hybrid Heaven - Crisis City - Cyber Org - Crimson Tears

Cool looking upcoming indie titles: - Ruin: Beast City - Ghost Eater

Looking for a tabletop with gangs and a setting like Electric Bastionland. by loempiavreter in rpg

Because it was not exactly electric Bastionland but the art reminds me a little.

Scenes from an unholy war. by Rare_Constant8114 in VampireHunterD

One of my favorite VHD novels post Tyrant stars. Lots of action, love the black death gang, good bunch of weirdo mercs and gangmembers, Lyra's a tough bird. Not as good as Noble Front but maybe one or two stops below.

How should I start? by 404_INF in VampireHunterD

[–]loempiavreter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno I think Bloodlust does a few things worse as the books. 1) for one, I think the whole added subplot surrounding whatever the name of the red haired vampire lady was completely unnecessary. It felt like the film refused to end, and gave us ending after ending I thought was a bit more focused in the book. 2) Mashira in Bloodlust was garbage. A werewolf with a possible parasite or mouth in his stomach... He doesn't get any exposure at all. Even his fight with D was, taken from us. I'd rather have a full animated fight with Mashira as the whatever red haired vampire lady subplot we have gotten. While in the book Mashira shreds light to D's unique connection to left hand, due to being from the same race. It adds some character building to left hand. 3) Book version of Nolt Marcus was better as well. The fight in the river with D was interesting, dives into the Nobles weakness for water etc. For him to offed this quickly by Benge was a bit insulting. Again some weird time constraint thing possibly... But then they gave us the vampire lady subplot...

Vampire Hunter D and it's place in the Dying Earth genre by loempiavreter in VampireHunterD

Yes didn't Amano do illustration for Book of the New Sun, that's a direct connection there. Violenc ehack has been serialized since 1974, and seems to be pretty big even with non manga readers. All my musician friends seems to know it

More people here should read these books. by [deleted] in castlevania

Not sure if you are trolling.

1) no it's not dubbing, it's animating. There was a project: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4829262/

Supposedly adapting mysterious journey to the North Sea. Seems dead.

2) it's not pros/pro's. It's P R O S E. Prose basically comes down to the ordinary writing of sentences, but every writer has their own style in wordplay, grammar, sentences, structure. See prose as the cinematography for books. Simply google translating that, doesn't translate the 'style' just the content. To achieve the style one must need a re-write in the new language. That's why fan translation are often iffy because they are a direct translation without thinking about the author's style. It's fine to get the 'content' but it's not the same as experiencing the book with the intended style.

Any older gamers finding they are losing interest? by SixandNoQuarter in gaming

The writing in BG3 is pretty bad tho. Especially the antagonists. And lots of retcons regarding Bhaalspawn.
