I think there's a good chance you'd like Frieren if you haven't seen it, which I just thought of now because other people were talking about it in this topic at some point.

(directed at SaveEstelle though I think there's a solid chance Leon would like it also)

Battle Against a True Hero

Turii Panta rhei

Most Silent Hill songs I can appreciate in an abstract sense even if I don't enjoy the act of listening to it, but here I don't even really understand what the song is going for.

aw yeah Akiko Shikata. Mayan is pretty neat the way it builds on itself, especially in the context of this being a Tetris song.

Hoping it's a part from one of the books I actually read, as my recent attempt to read through them has also slowed significantly.

I would say completely stalled if not for the fact that my job involves some amount of travel and reading is a good airport/plane activity, but that's extremely slow.

Yeah I guess I should have said non-limited light cone. I don't have Topaz's light cone or her eidolons since I basically got her by accident while throwing a few jades to get some 4-star eidolon levels.

Is there any way to apply a debuff either with March or with a Hunt light cone? I'm curious about sticking her onto Dr. Ratio for the follow-up-attack team but am worried about keeping up enough debuffs.

It seems at least possible either way because I can get 1 from Aventurine's ult, 1 from Trend of the Universal Market, 1 from Topaz, and 1 from Ratio himself, but I don't know if all of those are reliable enough.

Sparkle pushed a lot of supports out I feel like--just being very good in general and just being better Bronya for a lot of (not 100% of) scenarios.

Like I'm kind of sad my Tingyun doesn't see much use anymore, but I just don't often have the space between having to compete directly with Ruan Mei and Sparkle as well as several of my DPS's specifically wanting debuff supports.

My understanding is that Yukong is functional outside of DHIL, but that it's more of a "outclassed by other supports" situation. I've also heard the "difficult to use" thing and I think specifically you lose a lot of value if your team is speed tuned to get the most out of her skill. (Not personal experience...my Yukong is level 40)

That said Tingyun is nearly universal, much easier to use/build, and probably stronger in almost every scenario. I wouldn't pair her with units like Acheron or Topaz that don't get a huge amount of value out of the extra energy, but even there she's probably okay. (Edit: Or at least I wouldn't plan on using Tingyun's ult on those characters is what I mean)

For mine you should probably just search scenes with Malos on Youtube or something, which seems like a much more sensible plan than watching let's plays for an 80 hour game for scenes featuring a character not in the main party. Though I guess he is in the prologue a good amount so you could maybe try that also (probably skipping like 20 minutes or so in)

If you go the Let's Play route Malos first shows up around 25:00 of this video and the prologue lasts through the end of episode 2. A lot of the in-between content is sadly sans-Malos though so you could do a bit of skipping.

Metal Gear Solid 3 is so good. Definitely the best moment in the series, maybe unless you want to say it's the last boss fight in MGS3 instead or something.

Disclaimer: I have not played 5, Rising, or Portable Ops. I don't particularly expect the above statement would change if I had.

Naoko Yamada+Kensuke Ushio+Science SARU

Actually typing this out makes me realize I never got around to Heike Story...

To be fair in this case I didn't know Naoko Yamada was involved until well after it aired. Will have to at least add it to my plan-to-watch so I don't forget about it again though...

The Colors Within just got a standing ovation today for its debut. I haven't watched a trailer or anything, I just saw that going around.

I did not know this, but this makes me more excited. The trailer looked solid from what I remember though I feel like whatever I saw was a bit ago. I'm mainly going off of the pedigree with this one though.

Looking at the chart for next season and boy is this a struggle. Think I'm mostly going to take a "wait and see what other people say" approach since almost none of this is jumping out at me.

Oshi no Ko Season 2 - Yeah sure. It felt like the community was generally higher on this show than I was, but I'm still relatively excited for this.

Tower of God Season 2 - Maybe? I never watched season 1 but I could do that or just start with season 2. I like the webtoon reasonably well but never got around to watching the anime despite being interested in the adaptation.

ATRI: My Dear Moments - Honestly my gut tells me this will be awful, but it is about robots, is by TROYCA, and has the Bloom Into You director. That has to count for something. Probably won't watch this myself but will be immediately on it if the community says it turns out good.

Cheer for You! - PA Works original anime have the potential to be quite good imo, and since the season is looking so empty I will probably give this a try. The PV also looks promising, though I've said exactly that about other PA Works originals I ended up not liking at all.

Dahlia in Bloom - In a vacuum I'm intrigued by this description, but it also reminds me way too much of Snow White with the Red Hair--a show I found very disappointing. The PV does not do much to change that impression. Odds are I don't watch this, but it's on my radar if nothing else.

The Colors Within - Not a TV series and I have no idea when it will actually release in the US, but this movie was immediately put on my list as soon as it was announced. Have been very excited for this. Naoko Yamada+Kensuke Ushio+Science SARU will do that basically no matter what.

Another Monogatari season; the sequel to the "Final Season" - Yeah sure I'll watch this if it releases in any format accessible in the US that isn't like Blu Ray only or some shit, which I can't say I'm hopeful for. Also didn't we already have a season that was after the "final season"? I have no idea.

I also thought the manga's art was awful. Not in and of itself, but in that it's really hard to tell the characters apart, and all the fights are pretty nonsensical

This is honestly what got me to stop reading the manga. Like I could get through entire scenes and have no idea what happened (or think the wrong thing happened) because my brain could not interpret the visuals correctly.

Very cool manga outside of this though. Think I made it up to like volume 8 or 9 or something?

Edit: I should say I'm not a very seasoned manga reader. This issue might be way worse for me than for other people.

Re:Zero is probably my #2...?

I only have the show at a high 7/10 so it seems wrong but there's not exactly much competition. I guess Slime is close also but it's probably less consistent.

Even Mushoku Tensei only at an 8/10 but I do consider it a cut above the rest I've seen. Isekai not exactly the most likely genre to drop masterpieces down.

I admit not to watching the newest season of Konosuba, but the show wore out its welcome pretty quickly with me for the first 2 seasons. (I assume that's the one from this season you mean)

I've been liking Reincarnated as a Slime decently also but I think even fans of the show are just in "yeah cool more TenSura I guess" mode right now.

On a related note to this poll, today out of desperation I clicked on one of those "what anime should I watch?" quizzes to see what it would give me. One of the questions was something like "how many anime have you watched", and the options were "0", "2-5", "10 maybe" and "I feed on anime".

It recommended Fairy Tail which there is no chance of me listening to that recommendation.

Yeah MoC 12 was obviously made with Firefly in mind. I maybe should have tried super break, but Acheron still made pretty short work of the second half, and mono quantum was able to scrape by in 5 or 6 cycles on the first half.

I did use super break for some of the other floors though--definitely a strong team.

Meanwhile I just take Fu Xuan to every single floor lol. Of course I'm missing both Huohuo and Luocha so that probably has something to do with it. (And Gepard for that matter, though I'm not sure I'd spend resources to build him even if I did have him)

To be fair I think in this case the show may just be going for a substantively different version of the character, but still.

Edit: Actually I'm also reading the League character got slight lore changes/updates in the time since I've played, so I could be a bit out of the loop also

With regards to Arcane, I heard that people on Twitter were upset because Vi is a cop in the promotional material for season 2, which is funny to me because this was like the first sentence of her character profile when she was released in League 10 years ago.

Ha, never thought I'd see the day when I used Himeko for more floors of MoC than Jingliu, including on floor 12. A combination of Himeko being pretty good for this week's plus my account reaching a point where my other DPS's are competitive enough that Jingliu's hit to my sustain becomes a real consideration
