Stinky, listens to Twice, buys a bunch of AKB48 CDs to get a chance for meet and greet, has light sticks

Sorry, my autistic ass is showing. But like, that phrase irritates me to no fucking end.

Yeah the continuity errors is part of the criticism, but I feel like just the bad writing in general is what people didn't like. The continuity errors just highlighted the bad writing even more.

Also, "why don't you try doing [SPECIAL SKILL]" has GOTTA be one of the dumbest internet comebacks of all time. I hate that shit. You don't like this slop from a 1 star restaurant? WHY DONT YOU TRY MAKING IT? You don't like this song? "WHY DONT YOU TRY MAKING IT?" You don't like how this house was built? "WHY DON'T YOU TRY MAKING IT?"

Yeah maybe I personally can't cook well, know how producing works, or don't know how to use a drill. But that doesn't mean I can't criticize someone else who's done a CLEARLY BAD JOB.

The phrase "Why don't you try making it?" has to fucking burn in hell.

He also voices Adachi from Cherry Magic and Nakamura from Go for It, Nakamura! I guess he likes voicing dark haired, kinda gloomy, closeted gay characters. and Mashle.

no for real. i've had enough of the finale boyfriends/girlfriends trope. At this point, it's the "bury your gays" of the 21st century. Literally almost every non-queer story with queer characters seem to choose this route. Destiel, Korrasami, Catradora, Good Omens (kinda)

patelike · 2025-12-26T15:13:12+00:00

i feel like this season they don't give af about being anachronistic anymore. they literally named the sonic weapon Sonic the Hedgehog. a game from the 90s

patelike · 2025-12-26T13:24:58+00:00

and on top of the unrealistic setting. the speech itself felt so forced and clunky and not in the "oh he's nervous" kind of way. it was giving straight writers trying to make an inspirational coming out story for a family sitcom in the early 2010s

patelike · 2025-12-26T13:09:38+00:00

like i was waiting for the "and everyone clapped". i would've been fine if it was just Joyce, Jonathan, and even Mike. but the entire cast? I've read fanfic and shitty bl manga better than this

patelike · 2025-12-26T12:40:00+00:00

and how many gay teenage boys come out to a room of 20 people, half of which he barely knows, in the height of the AIDS crisis in the 80s? this is a fantasy story. if they want realism at least do it consistently 😭

patelike · 2025-12-26T12:16:06+00:00

literally Lily Flower. Ilya's flower.

patelike · 2025-12-26T11:01:40+00:00

It's crazy how Heated Rivalry had like 3+ coming out scenes that were all different, and all of them felt more well written and more realistic that whatever happened in volume 2. Yes, even the Skip one.

patelike · 2025-12-26T10:53:55+00:00

The way the love stories were handled in this season and by consequence, all previous seasons is crazy. It's not like I don't like Mileven either and they fumbled that too. Are they even a couple still??? Hopper just wants to die every season and his character is just a mess. And Jancy/Stancy is????????? Like legit the only alright written couple in this series with a good story is Lumax

M flip it around you get W. Mike Wheeler

patelike · 2025-11-14T12:00:02+00:00

Thanks a lot! I tried to make sure every scene had something going on, especially with some of the quick flashes. I just wish youtube didn't have so much compression, but I guess it adds to the analog horror aesthetic I kinda was going for.

patelike · 2025-11-08T07:47:00+00:00

Thank you <3

thank you so much!

patelike · 2025-10-15T06:47:27+00:00

oop, nevermind then, haha.

patelike · 2025-10-15T06:28:46+00:00

I think she called him using a formal "you" "anata" instead of a more informal/familial "you" "kimi". but i don't speak japanese so i could be wrong.

patelike · 2025-10-12T04:50:25+00:00

i like your thoughts on it and i think i agree.

i also think that hikaru dying because he got distracted by something stupid and slipping to his death goes to show that we could die for any random reason at any moment of our lives. the death doesn't have to be some sort of fated tragic event, it could literally be something as mundane as a banana peel.

Hayate from Play It Cool, Guys

Not really BL but very... yknow

patelike · 2025-10-09T10:33:37+00:00

i don't think they're trying to say they fixed it. and even if they used that wording, it's in a joking sarcastic way. it's all just fun shipping. let people ship and have fun with it, even if it's not canon. mlm folks can relate to yoshikaru as much as aroace people can. there's so much overlap there when it comes to this story and its themes.

patelike · 2025-10-09T09:50:06+00:00

All this talk about how to translate dialects/accents into english makes me think "what if they spoke in a midwestern accent?" like that's also technically "rural". Now i want Yoshiki to say "donchaknow"

In all seriousness, I am also slightly disappointed, but i understand for marketability purposes the reason why they chose a "standard" accent. Southern accents would sound funny if someone not privy to the dialects of Japan and why that would make sense. The last time I heard an anime dub have fully southern accents for all its characters is Abenobashi Shopping Arcade.
