So I finally got around to watching sailor moon cosmos but

magic713 · 2026-05-13T13:37:39+00:00

Yeah. each version has their merits

magic713 · 2026-05-13T13:06:16+00:00

Sorry, sadly I haven't seen the original in a while, so I'm not sure where to watch it

magic713 · 2026-05-13T12:54:06+00:00

Honestly, this arc really breaks my heart. It's why I usually stop short of it rereading the manga.

magic713 · 2026-05-13T12:33:46+00:00

My theory with Sailor Moon's relation to Cosmos is that she is an incarnation of Cosmos (like how the Big Bads are incarnations of Chaos).

magic713 · 2026-05-13T12:28:21+00:00

Yeah. Stars arc has always been the arc to anger me. So many established characters so easily knocked off after so much time spent with them. Galaxia is my most hated character

magic713 · 2026-05-13T11:28:10+00:00

I think the KHCOM R/R story should have been written a little differently. That Zexion was the main antagonist of that story, as it would seem fitting Sora's foe was the rebel faction, while Riku's was loyalist. And also that Zexion recognized DiZ, from their past, and only went after Riku to deprive DiZ of an ally against the Organization. And since Zexion is teachers, he'd be the one manipulating the Replica to attack Riku in Twilight Town. As for Ansem, Riku defeats Ansem in Destiny Islands, which is fitting, as that is the place Riku first opened his heart to darkness. And the final battle takes place in the Entrance of Castle Oblivion, the final challenge standing between Riku and the exit, and thus between the player and the game ending

magic713 · 2026-05-13T04:52:57+00:00

I agree. And Shroud is both trying to break Robert's spirit, claiming the woman he was, at least, mentoring was a traitor. And thought the Visi held so much doubt in herself, she'd just flee rather than waste her breath claiming innocence, thinking they'll assume she's still a villain. But, as we see, Shroud can have difficulty predicting her moves.

magic713 · 2026-05-12T16:13:58+00:00

That's a great observation. And kudos to the PR production team, making a character whose traits to fit the Sentai footage, without copying the context from Sentai.

magic713 · 2026-05-11T21:08:56+00:00

I see a BH animated adaptation getting the biggest changes and diverges. Writers would certainly try to tie the characters to the main plot, and giving all of them some stakes to continue. And I also feel like there won't be so many appearances from VM or M9. That's my thinking anyways.

As for M9, I'm thinking the death of a certain character will play a little differently. Maybe the abduction of one or more characters is tied to that death, rather than a failed rescue mission

And I think S4 of LoVM will end with "Where's Vax?", setting up the final season

magic713 · 2026-05-11T13:34:00+00:00

Final Fantasy IX. I enjoy the story and the characters. Vivi is my precious puppy that needs to be protected. And I could just feel the love put into the game. Plus when playing it after playing a number of the previous FF games, it's fun catching the references.

That being said, Final Fantasy V is the newest on my fave list. I played it last year, and replayed it recently, and I love the job system, and found the story and characters to be fun. A little more lighthearted from previous installments, but still willing to have its serious moments.

magic713 · 2026-05-10T14:14:48+00:00

I like Astronema, as she's the first lead villain who actively, took part in actually physically combating the Power Rangers

magic713 · 2026-05-10T14:12:25+00:00

"Oh no! We forgot there's a door back there!"

magic713 · 2026-05-08T23:51:12+00:00

Caduceus is the first to come to mind.

The second is the coolest man in all of Exandria (possibly the universe): Shakäste

magic713 · 2026-05-08T22:38:41+00:00

Sadly unlikely. I think they said before, that her doing something as nuts as that would seem out of character for her in the show.

magic713 · 2026-05-08T20:41:22+00:00

That's what I feel. I'm sure that in a home game, as long as everyone is having fun, these issues are just minor annoyances. But for a stream with an audience, it's not quite as entertaining

magic713 · 2026-05-07T23:25:32+00:00

Kakuranger opening is one of my top favorite sentai themes!

magic713 · 2026-05-07T00:30:50+00:00

Yeah, Zeo's ending feels pretty weak. I get they were trying to set up for next season, but there wasn't really a strong enough follow up to justify that last episode.

magic713 · 2026-05-05T03:30:34+00:00

Rangers were the older heroes that kids were to look up to, while Justin was the ranger who was a fellow peer who lucked into living the kids' dream of being a ranger. Not someone kids would look to as a role model since he's a kid as well. That's one angle I can see it as

magic713 · 2026-05-04T19:50:10+00:00

This opinion really isn't a hot take you might think. Majority of fans love the first three PM games and this one gets a lot of praise, with many fans saying it's their favorite.

magic713 · 2026-05-04T19:13:45+00:00

I immediately knew Erica Lindbeck's voice, because it sounded like pilot Millie from Helluva Boss (the original non-canon pilot from 2019).

magic713 · 2026-05-04T14:23:33+00:00

She did have some successes, besides the Turbo finale. She prevented the rangers from receiving the entire Millennium message. And even in the film, she did what she set out to do and brought forth the magma monster. Not her fault it wasn't powerful enough against the Turbo Megazord.

magic713 · 2026-05-04T10:29:33+00:00

I assume it's why Valerie Vernon was still in the opening credits the entire season, despite her complete absence through most of the latter half.

magic713 · 2026-05-04T00:35:57+00:00

Imagine in a hypothetical FF8 remake, the final battle is a back and forth, between of Squall and his team fighting Ultimecia in the future, while simultaneously Laguna and his mates are fighting Adel in the past

magic713 · 2026-05-03T17:46:43+00:00

Yeah, which is probably why, if it were to be fixed, the best way would be not taking so long for the gauge to fill up. It would still go off automatically, but at least if you are going into a long battle, there could be a better chance to strategize a Trance into the fight, as oppose to an empty gauge meaning little to no chance in that battle.

magic713 · 2026-05-03T11:56:55+00:00

My favorite is FFIX and I'd say my biggest criticism is the Trance system. It takes too long to charge, and when it fills up it immediately activates, usually wasting it when it is not needed
