I don't follow Mel, but given how often her costume gets her banned, I'd wager she probably doesn't use it much anymore, at least not in thumbnails. it's been a while since her and choco were getting excessively banned, that was more of a mid 2020's thing. it was especially bad for choco since she drew the ire of chinese nationalist antis (long, long before coco and hachama), and her channel was actually SUPER fast growing until she got hit with repeated attacks, bans, shadowbans, etc. anyway, when mel debuted her new costume she also revealed that her model for her original costume had been updated as well. she streams pretty often using both her original and the new costume, uses her original costume on thumbnails still. I would say she used the new costume a lot more at first but now she has gone back to using her old costume often enough without getting into any trouble. it seems like it solely depends on her mood rather than trying to avoid the ire of youtube at this point. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://i.imgur.com/z5avBff.jpeg |

| MariaTaylor 03/29/21 10:48:00 AM #216 | The manga shows a lot more content in almost every aspect of the series. It's sort of like Star Wars fandom where the more you look into it and the more you read about it, the more details you find. Like about which ace pilots on the Fed and Zeon side were present at each battle, how high were their kill counts, characters whose names you barely or never even saw in the actual TV series. It's also worth noting that there are some differences between the movies and the TV series, and the manga follows the movie version of events. For this reason the movies and manga are actually considered higher canon than the original TV series. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

The final battle is some of the best stuff in the original series. It'd be a shame if you didn't get to see all of the payoff for the build up you've watched. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

I have no idea if they still distribute it. a lot of times when I go looking to buy anime I find anything more than a few years old is way overpriced because they often stop making the disks, and the only people holding them are collectors. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/31/21 9:06:16 PM #148 | it's easy to just call them superhuman but I think it goes way beyond that, especially if you look at the point of their existence in the original story of Mobile Suit Gundam. characters like Lalah are supposed to represent a better possible future, one without war; humans who evolved to the point where they could use empathy and understanding to forge a path to peace. but because Newtype abilities also make you a better soldier, they still get used as tools of war. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/20/21 2:39:11 AM #96 | Mirai is thicc IIRC Matilda is the one that Amuro had a crush on? I think that's one of the points where I was talking about how the character development in this series is pretty subtle and different from storytelling in more modern anime/TV. if you pay attention to how Amuro acts toward authority figures before he meets Matilda, after he meets her, and after she dies, his behavior toward authority, toward bright, and toward the war, changes at each of these stages. it's pretty neat once you notice it, but it's not something where the series makes him sit down and monologue about how the way he was acting before was wrong, and how he's gonna act differently now. he just starts acting different. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/20/21 1:04:30 AM #91 | oh yeah the aspect of the adults bathing at the same time as children is definitely weird. I thought you were more just saying that the adults supervising a child or children while bathing was a japanese thing. but like I said, I mostly forgot about this scene. probably because it was so cringe I didn't want to think about it lol --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |
| Topic | Is regular ass OG Gundam still worth watching? |
| MariaTaylor 01/20/21 12:49:32 AM #89 | yeah the scene is definitely cringe. I actually forgot all about it though since it's such a minor thing, it didn't really stick with me. it's impossible to know what tomino was really thinking. you could try to give him credit and say he was just showing how the kids on the ship are innocent, totally unaware of the danger they are in -- acting immature and making stupid jokes while playing around. on the other hand you could totally say he is a creep who was just looking for an excuse to have his animators put this kind of scene into a high budget production. as I said before, I don't really think there's any defending the inclusion since I don't personally think it adds anything to the story, and showing it is just mildly weird at best. all that being said I guess it's a reality you have to accept when you consume media from other cultures. sometimes their standards are different in ways you might not expect, and you'll be exposed to things that are innocuous to others but will make you uncomfortable. lastly, I'm actually surprised you think family bathing is a japanese thing. I can think of numerous examples of people I've known with kids who either supervise them, help them with bathing, or even assist in washing them directly depending on how young the child is. maybe other people can correct me on this but I don't think it's a uniquely japanese experience that kids would need supervision and/or help with bathing. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/19/21 10:37:20 PM #87 | For what it's worth I distinctly remember being weirded out by this moment as well. The only thing I can say is that uhhh... I guess adults needing to help kids bathing is not really a super abnormal activity. and Japan is a lot more casual about what they will show in something like this. But yeah the flipside to that argument is just because something happens in real life doesn't mean the audience wants to see it, it doesn't mean you need to show it, and some kind of director made the decision to include that scene. So I dunno if there's really any defending it. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |
| Topic | Is regular ass OG Gundam still worth watching? |
| MariaTaylor 01/19/21 5:02:49 PM #73 | yeah the lack of resupply is another point in his favor that goes along with the smaller tech gap I mentioned. his machine breaks down more easily, isn't getting repaired, and he's fighting units that are closer to his own strength... and still consistently coming out on top with minimal support from the b tier squad. I didn't want to spoil the lastly, my perception is definitely influenced by super robot wars as a franchise since Amuro always shows up in those games and is always revered as an all time GOAT badass. obviously those games don't have the last say when it comes to the gundam canon, but it's hard to get away from that perception, especially when he pretty much always joins up as a high tier viable unit with strong skills and everyone is talking him up as a legendary pilot. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/19/21 3:57:09 PM #71 | yeah the gundam can and will take actual damage in battles. it's pretty interesting in that regard. also amuro thinks he is not a pilot but he's definitely a bit of a natural at it. I'd say he's one of the best pilots of all time in the UC. the mere fact that he was able to read the gundam instruction manual in like 5 minutes and then come out swinging after just a few battles speaks for itself, and he has plenty of impressive feats even early on. maybe I overrate him, someone more knowledgeable about the UC can feel free to correct me on that. but if you compare the limitations of the original gundam vs more advanced models later on, I think it says a lot. like the gap between the gundam and a zaku is a lot smaller, as you mentioned in a lot of other gundam series they are pretty much indestructible, but amuro was able to do a lot even with that gap. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/18/21 10:52:07 AM #58 | yeah it was a b8anime meme way back, me and zea were the ones who popularized it at the time. I can't say for sure 100% but we might actually be the ones who started the meme. I don't remember ever seeing it anywhere else on the internet before this, and now it's like an actual meme that I've seen posted in other places. that being said if zea told me that he got the meme on some other website I wouldn't be surprised either. my memory of how it started isn't super clear anymore, and we might have just seen the screenshot/meme on some other website while he was doing his zeta gundam watchthrough. edit: just checked KnowYourMeme and apparently it was posted to 4chan for the first time in november 2010, and then became popular in november 2011. so it really depends on when zea watched zeta gundam. if he watched it before 2010 then I think it's probably likely he's the person who took the original screenshot and then maybe someone from board 8 posted it to 4chan afterward and it became popular. if he watched zeta gundam after 2010 it's probably just a case where the meme already existed and he saw the image and thought it was funny. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/18/21 12:38:24 AM #43 | Punnyz posted... So the Gundam, Guncannon, and Guntank are all in the same battle now yeah going by the UC timeline, we're still very early in the development lifecycle of mobile suits in general. the fact that the gundam is so advanced is even more impressive when you really compare it to the other models that were still in development at the time. Gundam: The Origin takes place before this and there are parts in that series where like... the mecha are basically just tanks with stuff mounted on top of them, not even called mobile suits yet. and then later they are testing actual mobile suits and trying to get them working without a huge power cable needing to be attached to it the entire time. The Origin is really great btw it has the unique quality of being more enjoyable if you've seen the Original gundam, but also making the original Gundam more enjoyable to watch. they really feed off of each other and make you want to go back and rewatch the other one. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 01/17/21 7:38:00 AM #14 | the movies are awesome and still hold up relatively well. I rate all three of them very highly. the actual episodic series I've heard less good things about, since it has a lot more pointless filler battles and is slowed paced in general. haven't attempted to watch it myself, I think I'd probably be able to enjoy it, but I understand why some people wouldn't. there's a reason why the original TV run failed, but the movies were a huge cultural success. I think before you watch an old series like this whether you try the movies or TV series you have to go in with the right mindset. character traits and development are a lot more subtle than we are used to in modern writing, pacing tends to be a lot more dry and slow. mobile suit gundam is honestly a series about how war sucks, and how much of a toll it can take on civilians who get dragged into war. but the narrative doesn't beat you over the head with this theme, either. it's about love, grief, revenge, and coming of age during times of extreme stress. about how sometimes you don't even understand why the person you're fighting has to die, but you can't hesitate or you'll risk the lives of the people you know and care about. and sometimes even that isn't enough. I really can't overstate how amazing the themes of the series are conveyed, even if the writing is a bit more clunky by modern standards. the action and visuals are not going to be as impressive as a 2020 anime, but they're pretty impressive for the time when it was made and it's still watchable. all in all I'd say the movies have a LOT of parallels with the star wars OT; becoming a cultural phenomena, inspiring an entire franchise in their wake, and commonly still considered to be classic all time greats... but there are definitely people who would try to watch it today and be like 'wow this is boring.' so yeah, proceed at your own risk. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 12/17/20 10:58:22 AM #7 | I have it on steam already. For anyone wondering, it is a pretty solid game. It's definitely not as in depth of a castle map as most other metroidvanias, most of the journey is pretty straightforward with little reason to ever backtrack. So don't get your hopes up too much with exploration. But if you like castlevania style gameplay and bosses, you'll enjoy it. The boss battles are particularly awesome. Challening, but you can beat them without getting hit if you memorize the pattern. It does a great job of translating the spirit of Touhou into a platformer combat system.

HoloID has already seen a lot of growth over the last two months, and specific members of Holostars have seen a lot of growth as well. generally speaking, the members who have tried to reach out for a wider audience have seen at least some success. holostars are actually pretty popular in the west as a whole (relatively speaking), and many of them have a large amount of english speaking fans in their chats. as far as making them more popular in japan... I don't think that's something you or I have any control over. [LFAQs-redacted-quote] if I remember correctly when I was looking at iofi's stream, it was actually marked as being sponsored. covercorp also just recently made a deal to be able to stream sega games. it wouldn't surprise me if doing promotional stuff like this was a part of the deal, and so her being tweeted is less of a 'hey someone noticed iofi' thing and more of a thing where they are trying to get more people to check out their promoted content (which iofi is promoting for them) --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 11/17/20 6:38:35 PM #364 | also consider the following... covercorp went out of their way to make things as easy as possible for the hololiveCN members. honestly the situation all around is pretty shitty and there weren't many great options, but the girls were given at least some options, time to decide, haven't been forced to graduate early and were able to go out on their own terms. they're still featured prominently on lots of places like the official reddit side bar, discussion about them is still allowed (I guess we'll see if it's still allowed AFTER they graduate, I think it will be, but that's beside the point I'm about to make), as well as the fact that they're actively removing posts that try and stir up controversy about artia or any of the other holoCN girls. now do you really think covercorp would keep maintaining a good relationship with the HoloCN girls and trying to defend their reputation if arita (or anyone else) was actually secretly doing nefarious plots to undermine the other girls? like, wouldn't cover have just cut ties with them immediately and treated them much worse? unless you believe that somehow some keyboard warrior paladin wannabes on reddit were somehow able to solve the great mystery of how civia praising aqua's song was somehow a coded dogwhistle in support of coco's haters but somehow cover is totally unaware of this fact (while removing posts about it, but maybe they are somehow removing the posts while blindfolded and it's happening entirely at random). it just makes literally no sense. anyone who would believe this I think is honestly about as dumb as the chinese antis who believe that coco hates china based on such compelling evidence as 'nothing' --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 11/05/20 11:02:48 PM #334 | Yeah a lot of them are pretty entertaining. They also have the benefits of smaller chats (more well behaved), and there are active and dedicated translators in the live chat. Plus, since the chat moves slower, it's easier to follow the translations. Really easy to watch Holostars streams live. I'll give some info on the ones I know well enough. Rikka = Does live music streams very regularly as well as some misc. stuff. Has a nice voice and is good at the guitar. He was one of the first Holostars members, and was the most popular Holostar for a while before Roberu started gaining in popularity recently. I watch a decent amount of indie vtubers who also do music streams, so sometimes it's hard to find the time to also watch Rikka, but I do always enjoy putting his stuff on when no one else is playing anything. Shien = Has a design that makes him look like an edgy character from an anime I'd never watch, but his actual personality is basically a fuckin' goofball. He's one of the funniest members in my opinion and if you watch any of the recent Among Us collabs I think his personality really shines. He also has great chemistry with Roberu so you can watch for any of their collabs. My highest personal rec out of the Holostars group. Astel = Sometimes it's hard to tell if he's a genius or an idiot but he's pretty entertaining. He's very into Minecraft if you're into watch Minecraft streams, and has a really good mind for planning out and building things. Also a really good Apex player. I don't watch a lot of gaming streams, I'm more into stuff like drawing, music, etc. But if no one else is streaming and I need something to run in the background, Astel's streams are fairly decent. Since you already know Roberu and Aru-san that kinda covers the ones that I know the most. I'll give a bit more information on the others based on their reputation and what I've seen in collabs. Kira = The gimmick is that he's one of those anime boys who sort of looks and sounds like a girl. His personality is pretty entertaining, he definitely plays up the "spoiled brat" aspect and just has a sort of dark, vindictive, and petty streak that is often used for comedic effect. It's hard to explain but this is the impression that I got from watching him interact with other Holostars. Miyabi = I don't know much about him. He seems friendly and laid back, but I couldn't tell you what his particular niche is. Or if he even has one. He is somewhat popular though. Izuru = Another fairly talented musician, he's also a bit more funny, wild, and immature than Rikka. Haven't watched enough of him to say much beyond that. Oga = Looks like the badass anti-hero of a final fantasy cast but from what I've seen of his personality he's probably one of the more polite, passive, and well behaved members. Though he is still a bit more rowdy than Rikka or Miyabi. Tenma = Haven't seen enough about him to give you much of an impression but I know the meme is that he's supposedly a paladin but acts more like a 'dark knight.' Has sort of a suicopath meme reputation around him. If you want to get a feel for all of the members and their personalities, you can start with these clips of the recent Among Us collab: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fG0Hf72Flog I linked part 1, you can follow parts 2-4 on your own unless you've never used the internet before. There's lots of really funny moments and this is nothing like the girls Among Us collab. It's way more chaotic, rowdy, and aggressive. They shout and accuse each other of being liars and traitors, it's very entertaining. You get a feel for everyone's personality as they switch POVs a lot, although I notice the clipper definitely has a preference for starting things in Miyabi's point of view. The quality of the subs is also really good so it's worth a watch. Some notes based on their behavior between this and the first collab:

| MariaTaylor 10/15/20 3:43:04 AM #222 | I watched that stream live.. then watched the subtitled highlights. Now I'm watching the highlights again because you posted them. Some good stuff there, and they didn't even include all of the best moments from the other games! Several of the Holostars members (Rikka, Roberu, Astel... I think Tenma and Aru as well? Maybe others?) have hosted games and played with fans since then. I'm actually interested to know if they're going to do another collab now that several of the members understand the game better and have more experience. It could be a lot of fun. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

I don't think fueling their toxic narrative by convincing them that every bad actor is chinese is going to improve the situation either. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 09/27/20 9:16:51 PM #141 | the negative attention toward haachama basically already started to die down when it was redirected to Coco. all people need to do is STFU, stop posting pro taiwan or anti taiwan memes all over her twitter, chat, etc. and the situation will blow over. notice how she wasn't suspended right away, but Cover was forced to act when the situation became increasingly more volatile? I was in Coco's free chat a little over 12 hours ago (edit: actually it was probably more than 12 hours. it's just way later in the day than I realized. and since the free chat is gone now i can't check the exact time.) people there were spamming political garbage on both sides. the suspension announcement was released shortly after that and I honestly don't think it was a coincidence. the aloe comparison is also particularly frustrating because people are demanding that Cover do a better job of protecting their employees. like, that is EXACTLY what they are doing here. they are protecting all of their employees rather than just throwing over a dozen people under the bus because 'lol coco can make a million dollars in american superchats anyways' Coco is not the only employee at CoverCorp (not ranting at you, I know you mostly agree with me, just venting in general over the stupidity of the fans who are making the situation worse) --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 09/27/20 8:35:08 PM #138 | Wanglicious posted... well that reddit's a dumpster fire right now. yeah it absolutely sucks right now. so bad that I'm actually looking at board 8 again. full of wannabe LARPing paladins who think they are gonna "protecc" everyone by posting hateful and inflammatory comments all over the place, when that's actually likely to make the situation even MORE volatile and cause even MORE problems. voltch posted... Does she just completely sidestep Taiwan and only focus on western countries? people have noted that
voltch posted... I assume Fubuki and Aqua? I've heard Fubuki and Aqua are among the three most popular vtubers in china, period. though I haven't seen a source for that. suisei as mentioned is popular in china. most of them have at least some portion of their audience over there, any of the girls who do bilibili exclusive streams would be worth mentioning but that list is also pretty substantial. various holo girls have also done crossover events with azur lane and things like that, which would also be in jeapordy. holoCN goes without saying -- not only would thier careers be at risk but potentially their safety as well as their families. I like Coco, but I also like many of the other hololive, holostars, holoID and holoCN vtubers. if the choice is between Coco taking a 3 week suspension or dozens of people losing their jobs, I think the choice is pretty obvious. although the situation still sucks and is still really unfair. they aren't completing bending over backwards and firing her or anything like that. and it's generally been their MO in the past to suspend talents for a while so that the anti hatred will die down and the controversy will blow over. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |

| MariaTaylor 09/20/20 1:24:11 PM #12 | you also might be interested in trying which is pronounced as te (more like 'tuh' if I had to write it out in english) this can be combined with la () to give: te is kind of weird because the main definition is 'bull,' but it can also be used to mean like something exceptional or extraordinary. I sort of interpret it as having a similar meaning to the word 'alpha' so you'd be asking for something like 'alpha spicy' or like the most alpha/bull-like. honestly while I have seen used (by native speakers, even)... I can't vouch for the fact that someone might understand what you mean when you write it down, void of any other context. they might just think you wrote 'bull spicy' and not understand what you mean. --- all the rest weren't so unfortunate https://imgur.com/yv2eC4n |
