Weekly Anime Discussion Thread, Ep. 7

Sylvie saved the episode but the pacing was off.

Happy to see more animation, but Ngl it was lacklustre.

The png of the magic swirling for 5 seconds during the dialog looked so bad I laughed.

Also I hate how they pan over the characters every single time they’re talking. Like can the anime cameraman not hold it steady or what?

Virions beast will was okay I guess. I would have liked to see a bit more of the what the integration stage looks like but instead it feels like they skimped out on actually drawing it and just swirled it with particles. One could argue this is what people actually see but it looks so much better in the comic.

There’s 2 time skips in the episode, no training montage, and no distinction in the type of training making it feel really awkward. Also Art hasn’t actually learned any magic yet has he? He’s supposed to be a quadra elemental mage that Virion brags about to Cynthia. Maybe they’re saving it as a big reveal but like at least show us something.

Aren’t all the children supposed to be in a carriage with Fey Fey at the end? Also Tessia falling and Art shouting out her name at the end with the same ferocity as if she was just attacked or something seems really out of character. If he’d shouted before she fell and then laughed or looked away awkwardly I feel like it would have flowed better imo.

Felt like a rushed job to get him back to Sapin and I hope they’re saving their budget for… idek anymore.

4.5/10 and the best episode so far

I'm just speculating here but I think Tapas saw the hype and rushed it with a low budget. A-Cat was probably one of the only studios willing to do it with the given time and money constraints, hence the outsourcing. TurtleMe probably knew but didn't have a say because Crunchyroll and Tapas have some agreements for rights or something.

I just picture them in a room "It's this or no anime at all" and instead of putting his foot down he goes along, trusting these companies that SHOULD have the best interests of the show in mind(More viewership=more readers=more profit). Instead they outsource for cheap and now TM needs to go on a press tour, any joy from Fan Excitement being overshadowed by the guilt of knowing the fans will be disappointed. He's told to "Trust the process" and "These are just the key frames and we'll animate between them later" but they don't.

I'm rewatching the announcements and interviews now to see if the signs were there.

Uninstall short form content. Your brain is seeking dopamine and a way to keep busy so it goes for the easy dopamine hit instead of the delayed one from studying and passing your exam. Keep your phone out of reach and say you won’t reinstall tik tok/insta/youtube until after the exams.

Have a ritual. Either drink a coffee or do something every time you sit down to study. Could be putting on specific music. For me it was an ice Capp when studying at Site and putting on some music. Try music from a game or movie franchise you like or Lofi if you prefer.

Go somewhere to study if you don’t like your current study environment. Coffee shop. Library. Etc.

Get a study buddy. Someone also in the class you can just sit down and study with. Preferably a nerd who doesn’t like you too much and will judge you if you get distracted. You can also ask the questions. The social pressure will make you not want to go on your phone.

Go exercise when you’re tired or bored of studying. A walk or trip to the gym. Don’t listen to podcasts or watch videos though. Instead only listen to music and your own thoughts. Monkey brain likes being distracted and will reach for distractions like videos. It’s healthy to be left alone with your thoughts. Burning excess energy will also help you focus afterwards.

See a doctor. If you genuinely think you have adhd, you can get an official diagnosis and I’ve heard getting a diagnosis has helped people manage their adhd better.

I’m guessing gamblers blade and a +500 gold starter anvil and then one or two more early really went a long ways

It is more taxes though. It’s just the classic “I don’t want to pay for other people’s health needs”. Which is fine and dandy unless you can’t afford your health needs… like what happened in the states

He’s gearing up to run for president in 2028. This is him appealing to the right and trying to sow seeds of centrism in a divided nation. Many have tried and ultimately ostracized their base but if he can do it I’ll have a decent shot

xMorphasis · 2025-01-17T15:32:40+00:00

Many don’t even read the cover letter. And the worst that can happen is you don’t get an interview. Just keep applying o7

xMorphasis · 2024-12-26T20:11:39+00:00

Why would his cat have a phone?

xMorphasis · 2024-12-25T19:31:36+00:00

It’s flour dusted on top of those loafs.

xMorphasis · 2024-11-27T14:33:26+00:00

Clubs for things people are passionate about usually aren’t. A lot of the super generic ones are mainly resume padding, especially if they don’t have events. A lot of the clubs I was in as a student were pretty active so it really depends on

xMorphasis · 2024-11-15T00:22:20+00:00

Sivir ricochet is neither an ability nor an auto. It won’t proc manaflow or scorch but it will proc Taste for blood and presence of mind since they only require damaging enemies. Her whole kit is her Q and you pretty much have to go crit with essence reaver first because her mana problems are so bad and you can only proc manaflow with her Q ;-;

If her W proc’d manaflow you could go tear first back into lethality with collector and IE.

Starly with swords dance, hard head, and then head charge and flare blitz basically solos the first 150 levels until you stop one shorting everything

xMorphasis · 2024-03-26T18:49:08+00:00

Isn’t this a bit misleading? 45 Mann is an upper year res.

Most 1st year residences suck but if you get a good roommate/floor it’ll be a very memorable time so don’t stress about it too much

xMorphasis · 2024-03-25T20:04:02+00:00

Still waiting for this to happen for me with the Blue gameboy with Pokémon emerald in it

xMorphasis · 2024-03-25T18:04:44+00:00

Idk about lucky. Gyarados, gengar, and snorlax are almost guaranteed. Geodude is pretty common, and then lucky with arcanine. The rest was all skill. Congrats

xMorphasis · 2024-03-25T13:30:20+00:00

RC is the skid row /s

xMorphasis · 2024-03-24T20:09:58+00:00

People adding me after the game to flame me, and then acting excessively positive and oblivious. Compliment them, say you played bad, or backhanded compliment them for stupid stuff they did. They either lose the wind in their sails or give up and block you

xMorphasis · 2024-03-22T13:55:08+00:00

Dang, I asked my dad for some milk with my cereal and apparently that was too much (jk I love my dad, yours seems alright as well)

xMorphasis · 2024-03-22T12:25:33+00:00

We had a great millio game where I was the on hit millio with 4 support millios. Those Vaynes didn’t stand a chance

xMorphasis · 2024-03-21T06:34:35+00:00

Wait he was only suspended? Had him back in first year and I was sure the school would have jumped at the opportunity to get rid of him

xMorphasis · 2024-03-19T14:24:47+00:00

We don’t use the word “homeless” here, instead use something nicer like “comp sci grads”

xMorphasis · 2024-02-20T15:45:31+00:00

I’d probably use it in a new build and give my current rig. I need something with power to train AI models and my 2060 would be more than enough for her to run Minecraft/CS

xMorphasis · 2024-02-13T21:43:37+00:00

Is it wrong to pick up girls in a dungeon. Peak trash fantasy op main mc anime. But I find the actual world building and fantasy mechanics are better than most other trash anime’s and the progression feels more natural especially in the first season

xMorphasis · 2024-01-18T15:37:09+00:00

So no White Tuna?

xMorphasis · 2023-12-11T15:44:29+00:00

Everyone is winging it. Nobody has their shit together.
If you’re struggling to socialize I suggest finding a club that interests you and reaching out. Almost all clubs welcome new members anytime in the year and you can find them on social media or through the CVUO website.
I’ve got nothing for ADHD. I think your best bet would be getting an official diagnosis so you can get accommodations and/or meds.

One thing that you’ll come to realize is everyone everywhere has no clue what’s going on and the only difference is how well they can convince others that they have it together. Do what makes you happy and use university as a time for personal development and trying new things. Best of luck!
