She made a promise.

I appreciate them giving you that in game method of taking photos, but realistically....I have a phone.

I would not be surprised if we see more enemies like Sam in the future who have ways to ignore shields, so I imagine he'll always have a use even if Aventurine ends up more "meta".

Not gonna watch the episode, but Re:Monster may have the worst anime OP I have ever seen.

Why
No seriously, why? can you explain why would it benefit Israel to do that?

Everyone has been saying it for months, you just refuse to accept it.

At this point I just gotta feel bad for Nania, since they legitimately don't seems to realize how much they've been warped.

Also 0% chance I ever pull for Robin if you can't put her on mute.

Weakling

Hearing the song is the only reason I WOULD pull for her lol.

Snow Ranger is busted good.

Owls are probably the most meta unit in the game ATM, they're niche at healing but are otherwise kind of amazing.

Lions are just slightly different Gladiators, pretty interchangeable.

Foxes are dodge tanks like theives, but having lances open up a lot of column debuffing options.

Bears are....weird. They're actually like Dark Knight Warriors? They're not doing shit until the latter chunks of the fight, and the accuracy sucks, but they can really explode with damage. Have that extremely powerful parting blow can actually be really clutch.

Werewolves are the ones I have the least grasp on. Followup up chipping? Seems like they need the right partners.

That was actually the line that caused me to find out there was such a big push against the current state of official manga translations (at least for SJ stuff).

Normally I assume that the people complaining about translations are the...delightful folks obsessed with stuff being 100% literally translated (Unicorn Overlord fiasco), but the current state of manga translation discourse actually seems to be the opposite? Stuff is getting translated TOO literally and feeling stiff. JJK is far from my favorite series at the moment, but even I can't help but raise an eyebrow comparing some of these official translations to the fan ones.

But that's still preferable to literal machine translations. People lost their shit when Ancient Magus Bride said they were moving to AI translations for good reason, but now it's popping up more and more, very depressing.

Anime won't be far behind, they already tried it a couple seasons ago with that Brothers show and backed away when they got caught with their pants down, but I doubt they means they've given up.

Manga localization is just gonna get more and more cooked.

That was an excellent premier.

As cynical as it sounds, I was kind of hoping this would be bad so I had an excuse to finally watch the original.

However, from what I am seeing briefly perusing reddit and such afterwards, it would appear that even lifetime fans are of the opinion that this was an even better first episode than the original show, so for now I'll stick with it I suppose!

Fox time.

That is partially my worry with the train show, too. I thought the first episode was incredible personally, but I don't know if it will be able to live up to that first episode moving forward.

OK Anilist I guess you heard me talking shit about AFD.

Entering topic because I saw Pekomomma.

That is all.

Apparently hot Godzilla x Kong makeouts are a touchy subject. I will return to my proper ID tomorrow to those it affects lol.

5 minutes into the Train anime.

They sure buried the lead on this one!

Waking up this morning, seeing a "Steel Ball Run Confirmed" graphic on Twitter, getting excited and then immediately remembering it's April 1st

Hate this shit man

I've quickly grown to despise April Fools, for every joke that lands there are 3 that don't and 2 than infuriate. Also nobody cares outside of corporations anymore so it's basically just a marketing holiday.

2.2 MoC boss (does not seem to be spoilery) gameplay with Robin and her optimal (Follow-Up Attack) team.

Glad to see they're upping the ante on enemy animations, too.
