I like Mina, but she is more fan service from a character point. Like Kilik has been a better character in terms of gameplay pretty much in every aspect except for some niche moves that she has had over Kilik. That said, in a lot of games Mina has always been a lot easier to pick up as a lot of her combos only require a few inputs and can be easily memorized (but at the same time are also rather predictable).

There is a Sears in a mall near me, but it's like always empty and I think the only reason why it's still there is because it's in a mall and rent in a mall has to be dirt cheap or something these days.

There's also a Kmart, but it's like 40 minutes away, so I'm not sure if that counts as near me.

The push is like him being from a very popular game AND that cdprojectred saying that they might rally him. Like the developers want to rally him.

If this will happen no one will no.

However, I don't think him beating Rosalina is out of the question. I have him losing to Riku in R3. Why don't i have him losing to ninja gaiden Ryu? Maybe I was drunk or something.

For that imouto writer anime there is apparently a colossal drop in quality between episode 1 and 2 for visuals. Like holy crap it looks like an entirely different studio altogether

Pokemon Crater (99 to 01ish): None. I was a moderator at the time and the entire site went down for an extended period of time and I just didn't care enough to wait around. This was way before Myspace too and everyone used ICQ, so. I'd be hard pressed to call anyone one here "friends" though except maybe a couple of users.

Thoughts on Week 2.

Zombieland Saga had the best episode of the week. The comedy and acting are just so right on the money. It's around where Hinamatsuri was when it was airing, but I think Zombieland Saga has a higher ceiling. I mean, I was even more amazed by this one than what happened in the first episode.

Bunny Girl also had a very strong episode. In terms of just overall quality, this is the best show of the season as it's strong in every category right now. It feels like Monogatari but presented in a less "annoying" way if you want to call it that. The dialogue is amazing and the timing is just as good. Also has senses of Charlotte in it too. Right now any show I can really compare this too has ended up at least good.

IRODUKU had a decent episode, but one I find to be weaker overall than the first. This is basically where I worry about the overall character writing to see how interesting and consistent characters can be.

SAO Alice's episode was pretty good. I don't mind kirito like discovering his strength or using preknowledge of things in the new world etc. Him being strong was never really the issue. It's more him being strong solved everyone's problems despite everyone he's helped also being strong until the very moment Kirito had to save them type deal.

Miss Beezlebub is the cute soul cleanse of the season.

Karakurai Circus is pretty decent, but didn't leave too much of a lasting impression other than the dude who has to make people laugh is awesome.

Merc Storia seems to be a pretty generic adventure story (based on a game of some sort). But was executed well enough.

Ulysses probably needs more fan service if it wants to survive.

THE DROPS

I'm not going to wait around for gridman to get terrible or magically become good. I already had a lot of issues with the first episode and even though I am curious to what happens next, not enough to keep this on a 20+ show watch list.

Release the Spyce is just a little too "eh" overall. I want to say too dumb, but that's not really the right word because the fishing in space show is still in.

Run with the Wind is just so boring.

New siscest anime is just a bad eromanga sensei and that was also a bad show. I'm not even going to continue watching to see why it's bad exactly. For the record, eromanga was bad mainly because the girls in the show don't really interact with each other until much later in the series. The interaction of the harem in oreimo was like the best part of that show.

Conception was just dumb. Like when they were explaining the world I was like "wait is this based on a game?"

Consider something like this

https://pcpartpicker.com/user/KokoroAkechi/saved/GtHpGX

This is more comparable to "The Exterminator" variants.

Part choice reasons

CPU: The Ryzen 5 series is a top notch midrange option.

MoBo: The Asrock fatality series is a good budget board that can do some of everything you need. You're not breaking any record for anything but it's probably the best value for the price point.

Ram: Team is a relatively unknown budget brand that makes quality ram. The timings on this are not amazing but they offer life time warranties (as all ram should come with).

GPU: The 580 8GB is one of the best graphics cards for the price. You'll be able to run modern games at 1080p pretty easily with this even at higher qualities as long as the game is properly optimized. It's a lot better than the 1050ti for only marginally more.

Case: NZXT S340 has been the best case within the price range for a long time. You can get it on their website for 50 dollars for the white versions and 70 for the others. It's a mid size tower, which means easier cable management and is generally more forgiven to new builders over smaller mini itx types.

Power Supply: The supernova series is one of the most reliable PSU lines I can think of. The 550w comes with a massive 7 year warranty. Not only that but it's fully modular (which means all cables are detachable) so you only need to use the ones that actually do something for your system.

ALSO

Don't pay attention to what it says in the crusher info. Base consoles (at this point base ps4 and xbox one S) are really old now and a lot cheaper. It's much fairer to compare them to the comparatively priced PS4 Pro and X Box 1 X, which will have graphically performance that is as good or better in a lot of cases.

The truth is console power has never been closer to PC price points as they are now.

A lot of CGI in anime is just bad. The thing is though that I a lot of people don't actually argue against it because it's bad, but because they just don't like it in anime. There is just an irrational stigma against CGI in anime in terms of the aesthetics. Like, no one really argues that the use of CGI for enhancement effects is a bad thing. But people are upset when their robot or whatever looks fully rendered.

This is not to say that there are not CGI anime that people don't enjoy. But I also think a big factor is that the expectations on how good it should be are set too high. Like, yeah a lot of CGI in anime is just flat out bad, but some of it is acceptable given the medium. Like in the currently airing Girl in Twilight, people complained about the CGI... but I'd say if you complain about it there your bar is set too high.

Like people originally complained about High Score Girls CGI too, but that ended up being a really good show and people kind of forgot it was CGI in the first place. HSG is a show that I think would not have been nearly as good if it was made in a more traditional format.

The main thing on the end of S1 is that they spend the entire season building up to what happened in the past that led up to the shows start and when you actually see the events unfold why and how it happened is just like "oh, that's pretty dumb" and the way it was portrayed in animation was even worse.

In S2 the ending is just a "why did they think this development was a good idea?"

Note: I don't actually remember if that was the "ending" of S1. But that is what I consider to be the climax of the season and like the point where my perception of the show drastically changed.

What do you guys think of Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu? Found it while looking around top MAL anime, I usually like historical stuff but rakugo doesn't seem to be a very interesting premise.

I've seen both seasons. A lot of people seem to think it's like one of the greatest shows ever and for like a while I would have agreed but I do find that the characters act incredibly stupid just for the sake of adding in drama into the show. On top of that, the endings to both seasons are really bad. I do think the other things in the show are really good, like the acting, overall way they present the story and themes, the progression of the characters, etc. TBH the rakugo is very entertaining overall and really highlights the level of talent they had for the show.

DAKAICHI
-This is pure Yaoi. I dont have issues with yaoi, there are a few shounen ai/yaoi works I consider to be pretty good but this just lacks any form of subtlety, build up, or character outlining that I really think makes the payoff (even during an episode 1) really work. This seems much more like a fantasy fan fiction than anything else. Look at something like Love Stage, a show that has good comedy, fun characters, and manages to develop their feelings and personalities over the course of the season. Or even the shoujo ai of the season, Bloom into You, which rightfully laid enough groundwork to make an episode 1 confession seem natural.

Boarding School Juliet
-So not much to say about this except that I think this is an interesting concept overall. The first episode was pretty good and I generally have enjoyed the characters theyve presented.

Radiant
-This is the shouen style adventure anime of the mix. I mean Its probably not going to be bad, but the first episode hasnt shown me anything to make me think that this is really worth picking up unless youre really into the genre.

Goblin Slayer
-This is without a doubt the most talked about anime of the season. I do think its a little too edge overall. I dont really have a problem with the rape part, but overall gore and such is not something I really enjoy a lot in anime (which is weird considering the amount of slaughter horror Ive seen). But as for how they used everything. I was impressed with how the actual Goblin Slayer was presented and even though he was obviously written to feel like a badass, he seemed unusually human for someone without a face. I also liked how presented cleric girl and even though she saw all this horrible stuff, was still determined to be an adventurer because she knows deep down some day she can stop the same thing from happening if she grows.

Ulysses: Jeanne d'Arc to Renkin no Kishi
-This is another one of those pseudo history shows, this one being set during the 100 years war. Ill be honest this is like almost pretty good, its just missing that spark of excellence I think it needs for me to be like hey this is worth watching. but I do think it has some potential to be a decent plot show.

Release the Spyce
-My god this name. I dont think its a secret that I think the girls team up hero genre has not been very good recently. While I dont think this was great I was pretty entertained overall and am willing to continue it.

Anima Yell
-This is pretty cute, some of the jokes are lame but executed well and got a laugh out of me. I honestly dont think the ceiling for this anime is very high but I also expect it to be fairly decent all the way through.

Sword Art Online: Alicization
-So, I liked this first episode. I thought it laid out some good groundwork for the story world I think well be in for a lot of the season as well as have fan nods to other characters and so on. The problem is that in every season of SAO the first episode has always been the strongest and the problems manifest when Kirito actually has to do something of importance in the game world itself. I actually dont have many problems with SAO in terms of like the story overall, just how characters are treated for plot convenience in very similar ways across the board. So, yes I do think so far this is good enough to keep, but I also expect to be completely disappointed a few episodes down the line.

SSSS.Gridman
-Gridman seems to be like a callback to classic works overall (like Ultraman) but its Trigger so I dont know where this is going. I do think the whole amnesia thing is incredibly lazy, I mean its lazy a lot of the time, but here it seems even more so.

Rascal Does not Dream of Bunny Girl
-I was pleasantly surprised with this show in both the tone and the actual direction. It seems to be a lot more thoughtful in what its presenting than I originally anticipated. I actually think this has potential to be the best show of the season. It already looks like the characters are dealing with significant problems and the creator is trying to link supernatural with things that people would struggle with in real life.

Between the Sky and Sea
-Wow, this moved pretty fast. The main girl is fucking awesome. This show seems pretty dumb, but it was also kinda entertaining.

Bloom into You
-In terms of shows I was waiting to see, this is probably the top of my list. I think this did a great job at really introducing the main character and directing it in a way where even though it happens at the end of one episode, we can see why student council girl has started to develop feelings for her so quickly simply by dropping a few hints of personality and information. From what I know of this work, this is pretty much a lock keep for me.

A Certain Magical Index S3
-ITS BACK. Do you know how long Ive waited for this series to be revived? My god, and now with Railgun and Accelerator green lit officially we are about to go into a To aru explosion. This is basically a lot of semi padding for getting back into the world so not a lot happens beyond setting up the first arc of the season. Also flip phones.

Gakuen Basara
-This is a show where they took legendary warlords and such from history and put them in a school and they are fighting over the use of a field or something. I mean that idea sounds pretty funny, but its just not executed well and the jokes are not funny. Do you know what show did this, only better? Ikkitousen as those were basically representation of warlords in a school and they fought only it had massive amounts of fan service too. And Ikkitousen is not like a great series or anything (but Id still say its good).

Hinomaru Sumo
-Every since Haikyuu has come out there has been a deluge of sports shounen with a similar start. An undersized practitioner of a sport with either talent or determination comes in and wants to prove himself or rise to the top. I mean, Im not saying that Haikyuu started this, but its become very noticeable since the success of it. Haikyuu though had a lot going for it after the first episode, it set up a story with the characters and how theyd have to struggle to work together. There has been no real nuances with the shows that followed it and this one doesnt look like itll be any different based on an episode. Episode 1 of Haikyuu already had be thinking it could be a special show. This episode 1 makes me think its just going to be another sports anime.

Ms. Vampire
-This was cute. The use of the body pillow joke in this was superb. I do think it was more cute than funny, but since there seems to be a lack of slice of life style moe shows this season this is probably going to have to cut it.

UzaMaid
-Besides the Maid probably needing to be reported to the FBI I thought this was hilarious. The timing along with the way the gags are presented in terms of the animation are great too.

JJBA S5? 6?
-Ill be honest, I am waiting for when Stands are not a thing any more. Anyway, this was a pretty good intro. Its good that they had both new and old characters to blend the old and new season in. I dont think JoJo has been great since Battle Tendency, so well see how this goes.

Irozuku Sekai no Ashita kara
-This is the other anime I think might shape to be the best of the season. It just looks really good and the way its being present so far is really nice. It looks like its going to be a show about discovery and has the opportunity to be special.

Finished the first week. Thoughts on stuff.

Double Decker! Doug & Kirill
-I know people wanted Tiger and Bunny S2, but I dont think that show is nearly as good as its fan base think it is and I dont mind having something different by the team. Like, as far as the actual episode goes, buddy cop has not really been a major player in anime for a long time (like 80s to early 90s) where shows like Dirty Pair were in the forefront and those had fan service to fall back on too. The thing is that since it looks like this will have no real fan service (at least probably not as much as the likes of Dirty Pair and especially Gunsmith Cats) so theyll have to rely on normal things like comedy, dialogue, and things that really made something like Dirty Pair good a sense of adventure. The problem is that the dialogue and jokes were not nearly funny enough to make me think this is going to be special.

RErideD: Tokigoe no Derrida
-Even though this was previewed with 4 episodes earlier I only saw the first episode recently and like who the fuck directed this mess? There is way too much going on and the amount of focus on like anything is virtually zero. Wait this guy did Steins;Gates? This is just not good.

The Girl in Twilight
-Everyone knows this by now but this was conceptualized by the guy who did Zero Escape. I dont know how much input he had on the actual anime though. I think in general this was pretty entertaining and I like base Asuka so far. If this is anything like the creators past works I expect twists the anime. I think a big point of contention is going to be the CG and come on the CG is not the best, but in terms of what anime usually does with it its fine. Really, every year CG normally gets a little better and people still complain about it. I also want to say the actual character designs seem a bit less anime if that makes sense. Like, they dont have the moeblob girl designs Im used to, nor the updated late 90s/early 00s vibe some shows have gone for.

Xuan Yuan Sword Luminary
-This is weird, its a show based on a Chinese (Taiwan okay) game but this is a Japanese production. So like everyone is in China talking Japanese but is it really Chinese? Even without knowing any of that its very clear this is heavily Chinese influenced. That being said a lot of this was fairly predictable and the only thing that might get me to watch a second episode is because of the bossy loli empress. The voice talent is also notable on this project.

Slime Life
-This was a lot better than the description makes me think it should be. Like its well animated, funny, and for an episode where not a lot actually happens it makes me feel like I discovered the new identity as a slime with the main character. This was very well done.

Run with the Wind
-Just by looking at the design you can tell this is a production IG show and its like when did Kageyama become a runner? The actual production is obviously really good. I do feel like the start of the show is paced pretty poorly. In any case the real challenge is for this to make running not boring. Like Prince of Stride, a show about running with trick could not make running not boring. Horse girl, a show about cute girls running could not make running not boring. I dont think this show can make running not boring.

Zombie Land Saga
-That start. After finishing this episode I have no clue what to expect. I think everyone has seen this (or at least know about it) but if you havent Im not going to really say anything. I was like wtf.

It's actually a really good deck if you're running into a ton of Druid, because like 40% of their cards are broken, especially at 1-mana.

Oh yeah. But it's fucking awful against warrior.

Is there a streamer playing a lot of Academic Espionage lately? So far this month I've played a total of 17 games, and 9 of them have been against this deck.

Toast played it recently i believe and other streamers like Kripp and Kibler are huge fans of the card. In general I think it's a really fun card and had a deck pretty much built around it and spiders. Was it a good deck? Probably not, but it was fun to play.

So everyone's up for it except Undertale pretty much? Very interesting... Good reporting Ange!

BTW last time they pinned a post at the top reddit saying to create rally posts for the contest.

I don't mind rallies as long as the fan bases of the rallies don't come here just to post about the rally and leave.

Neptune 2018??

Save us Ellie and Joel.

That sub has 16,000 subscribers. I'm not too worried about it.

Maybe they can get lost pause to pitch neptune on his videos/twitch

I think that Worst Game ever is probably a better idea. Like, I think that people are generally more agreeable on what games suck than what characters suck.

1. Dragon Age II is the best game in the series
2. Breath of the Wild's weapon breaking mechanic is one of the best features in the game.
3. Dark Souls (and by extension Bloodbourne) is a good (not great) game series and will probably never release a great game unless a company that is not FROM software does a future game.
4. The FFXIII triology as a collective puts them as the best final fantasy games.
5. The liberties that were taken in the localization of the Neptunia series are generally good choices.

Any case for Undertale being in the GOAT conversation is wrong.

Heya Neppers.

Thanks to everyone who nominated Neptune to most likely lose to Pokemon Trainer Red.

She is happy just to be in the contest.
