Welp, RightStuf has been my go-to shop for manga and light novels since their prices are cheaper than other places, and now everything is getting shoved to the Crunchyroll store which is not ideal.

Hopefully they'll still keep the pricing and sales or I'll probably move to Amazon.

Is this another nomination?

No, it's just an added detail. Pretty sure being the provider of the face model for The Terminator in MK11 is Arnold's only involvement with Mortal Kombat.

I guess I missed that you already wrote about it.

Mortal Kombat

Specifically him being the model for The Terminator in Mortal Kombat 11 but not the voice for him. Although he personally selected who to be the voice.

I can only guess that Liu Kang had been held off until MK1 came out.

Now that I think about it, Extha should be fine watching First Order.

It's the prologue of F/GO animated.

Same day as Tekken 8.

Well I guess I'm far more likely to play Tekken that day.

Can't say I would ever expected Love Live to have a deckbuilder game.

I'm mostly split these days. I'm predominately physical for Switch games, and while I have a lot of physical PS4 games I've been going more digital these days unless there's an Collector's Edition I want or I simply find it on sale for much cheaper physically.

For PS5 games, I only own FFXVI physically. The rest are digital.

I'd say the OG anime is still the most popular, at least it felt like the peak of the franchise popularity.

My favorite part about this show was Lailaps, Yohane's gigantic talking dog who acted like a wise big sister.

One plotline in particular just made me really sad why did Lailaps need to lose the ability to talk in order for Yohane to get her magic back, I didn't understand that at all. It also felt like they kept retreading the same plotline. No matter what she succeeded at, she started doubting herself again the instant she hit the next setback.

There is a reason behind that. Essentially Yohane had to give up half her magic when she was little so Lailaps could talk (probably without realizing it). Then she needed that magic back to have enough vibe powers to save the town. Now why couldn't Yohane give it back after they saved their town, I have no idea.

My issue with the anime is that it didn't know whether it wanted to be a serious fantasy anime or a cushy slice-of-life anime so it does both in a halfhearted way.
Like they bring in a vague force with the calamity throughout the anime, only to shoehorn an explanation at the introduction of the final episode. Oh no, it's because everyone stopped singing and created bad vibes all around! We have to all get to together and sing to bring the good vibes back!

Honestly, this anime and the demo I played at PAX West with its awkward way of doing normal attacks kind of killed my hype on the game. Most of the game play was fine, it's just strange to summon your friends to do normal attacks since there can be a lot of delay in-between attacks, unless they make it cancel-able.

But that's fine, it comes out a day before the SMRPG Remake, so it's not like I'd be playing it right away anyways.

But you see, it's NOT lame to give money to Charity and Wario64!

And I guess Humble for their cut.

Why yes, I love giving money to Wario64.

But do note the fine-print here:

Redeem your keys. All of the courses in this bundle are redeemed on the Zenva Academy website.

I'm not saying that there's anything wrong with them, I'm not familiar with them myself, but just know that the bundle will require registering at an outside site.

This legit sounds like a Golden Sun overworld theme.

Ah damn, looks like I missed a day of the free pulls.

And I've been so used to seeing 1 AM Pacific as the daily reset that I didn't realize it's actually 1 PM in this game.

It's A LOT of reading to even get to the point that Thorn is talking about.

Bang Dream MyGo wrapped up today, great show. I had a hard time getting into it initially with the awkward 3D animation but once I got used to that the story was totally good. Tomori was a strong character, and I had a real soft spot for Anon's transparent scheming. Excited for the announced S2 even if I'm not totally sure how far it'll take its new focus.

It's nice seeing this from someone who knew next to nothing about the franchise before watching this anime. And it's a sentiment that it can be watched as a standalone even if you would not get some of the references made (but at the least, you'll know who the girl in Roba's Discord pfp is). Actually because this season takes place during an upcoming timeskip on the EN version of the game, even the people who do play the game and are watching without clairvoyance on future content would be lost on a few references to the game.

Anyways, I thought the same. The anime has a lot of drama, but there's a good reason behind all of them in a very human way. I ended up liking all of the main cast, but Tomori and Anon were still my favorite.

I ended up liking this more than any prior seasons of BanG Dream, but that's not too high of a bar. Helped that the focus was primarily on 1 group instead of splitting across multiple bands.
