Current Events > Anime/Stuff General V166 "What a twist!"

(+) Yeah! (+)

Yeah the only real downside is that it takes some time to make her shine, she really needs that equipment slot for the evasion gear for her not to drop in 2 seconds, HG's have like no HP.

I really wish night missions weren't so hard to set up... they give equipment instead of guns, and 1-4 drops a unique ammo for the springfield, which i use, but i barely finished the mission, and by barely i mean i got lucky with RNG, killed the boss with 1/3 of ONE gun left, and the AI screwed up and went for the friend echelon instead of my almost dead echelon...

Night missions are no fucking joke...

Nice. How is Grizzly doing for you, by the way? I've pulled multiple copies of her, but I haven't touched either one because I don't want to raise any more 5-star characters until much later due to a shortage of cores. I'll probably try raising her later though. In fact, I have another 5-star unit (Lee Enfield) in my C team because she's so expensive to dummy link, and her with 1 link is weaker than most of my 3 or 4 star units around the same level but with 2 links, kind of like the NTW-20 on your B team.

Of all the 5's I've put effort into, I think Grizzly is the most important and worth it. Her skill is really good, buffs all allies damage by 17% at Level 3, which helps with AK, who's skill buffs her damage and accuracy. So AK uses hers, boosting damage, then Grizzly buffs everyone's damage and we all just shred. Her formation buff is also really good too, boosting damage by 22% and Evasion 15%. The only real downside, is that her formation buff is in an odd form, and my best bet is having her out in front, and she isn't the best tank.

But all in all, Grizzly is one of my favorite guns to use. And I think she's the most worth of the 5 Stars I have. Plus she has a kickass design too. Stylin sunglasses and a stylin jacket.

Same, I love her so much

Oh, playing with the formation on my A-Team, got another setup with a higher Combat Efficiency and takes Grizzly out of the front. Gonna roll with this and see how it works.

Here's my A-Team with Grizzly




Honestly this team is obscenely good. A ton of stacked evasion on my Thompson, everybody else gets damage buff except Grizzly who won't do much with it anyways
---

I just pulled a third Grizzly. It's like the game is begging me to start using her.
---

Well, Dummy-ing her will be easy with all the extras you have

I have four Grizzlies because I have no fucking idea why but not enough cores
And barely any other 5* guns too they just keep throwing Grizzly at me

Yeah, exactly. I wouldn't have to spend any cores on her until the level 70 dummy link. I'll think about it, and on the next day the Exp combat sim opens up, I might start leveling her to catch up to the rest of my squad. If I do, she'll probably replace P7 on my A team.

Change up the recipes i guess if you guys keep getting grizzlies lol, meanwhile i keep getting UMP's lol

I've gotten 8 MP5s. I have 2 +3s and 2 leftovers

I'm in the same boat, except only 7 for me. A pair of +3's (currently in my B and C teams) and 1 leftover. At least she's adorable.

M16 as Jackal from Rainbow Six Siege.

Rainbow Six Siege and Girls Frontline crossover art is the meme I didn't know I wanted so badly. I still laugh when I think about that Tachanka one.

I want to see crossover art of the GFL versions of certain guns meeting their Upotte counterparts. Especially M14.

It's so beautiful. The Tachanka one is so good. Been making Tachanka jokes since I got DP-28.

Hmm, so the novel Miniskirt Space Pirates (aka Bodacious Space Pirates for its anime adaptation) got its first volume fan-translated.
I never got into the novels, but the anime series is pretty cool.

Not only Friday, but a three day weekend (if you're in the US that is).

Is A Silent Voice too heavy for a Grade 8 class? I am teaching a Grade 8 class and I kinda want to show them it. It has a great message for students.
---

I can't comment on the movie specifically, but the story is fine in my opinion. It's never really too early to teach children a bit of self-awareness and how their actions affect others, and that it's never too late to make amends or improve yourself. I'd say just make sure it's okay with your school administration because I don't think mine looked kindly upon anything that involved suicide.

8th grade is exactly the right age when shit kids trash on people for liking anime, so it doesn't sound like a good idea to me.

What an episode... holy shit.



Toji Warriors video game when?



Nice entrance.



Kaoru, can you stop being a massive dork for five seconds and focus!?



Maki, can you stop being a raging lesbian for five seconds and focus!?



Hell yeah! Go get her, Princess Snuggles!




RIP Birb :(





HOLY SHIT YES! LET'S FUCKING DO THIS!

Honestly this would probably be the biggest issue with it.

A lot of 8th graders would probably laugh at it/disregard it.

Back in 8th Grade, Spirited Away was watched. Most of the kids were trashing it and we ended up turning it off like halfway. It was kind of funny.

Yep, thinking back to when I was 8th grade and middle school in general, I can't really picture anime, any anime, being well received. Of course there were some kids that liked it but they weren't the majority.

That was a long time ago and maybe things have changed, but I kinda doubt it.

They haven't changed in the slightest. At the least, it never will in America.

Huh, guess I had a different experience. Nobody really trashed anime at my school, just each other's taste in it.

I honstly just blame it on Spirited Away. Dece movie, but it uh. I don't know how to describe my thoughts on Spirited Away. It's too... Spirited Away?

Honestly, I'm not familiar with the movie that you're looking to show them, but It's worth a shot, so long as it isn't too... Spirited Away?

I mean it wasn't trashed TOO much at my school(s), but it was definitely seen as something only weird kids/nerds were into.

Same, anime was generally well-received at my middle and high school. I spent half the time hanging out with the gamers and anime fans (thanks to my love of games and anime) and half the time hanging out with some of the football players (thanks to my love/knowledge of sports and my cousin helping to introduce me), and I managed to make the two sides surprisingly friendly with each other. Finding out that the star running back was also a closet Inuyasha fan was pretty amusing, to say the least.

I don't think it's that bad nowadays. Anime is getting bigger here, and most likely not as looked down on.

That's because it's mostly an American mentality. 90% of the anti anime mouth breathers on this board, for example, are American. I don't get it, but then again I've been trying to understand why people in this country are so stupid my whole life.

Watching the Inuyasha EDs today gives me some strong nostalgia of being up at like midnight during middle school watching it.

They're still like the most worthwhile part of the show.

I remember Adult Swim always cutting the OP but always showing the full endings.

There are very few shows that give me more nostalgia for those early days than Inuyasha. Off the top of my head, I can only think of three.

Nope, couldn't think of any more besides these three.

The first two anime I truly loved to watch on TV, and the first anime that interested me so much that I looked online to watch it since it wasn't on TV. I wouldn't be nearly as big of an anime fan as I am today without these three shows.
---

Digimon season 3 (Tamers) is probably another one for me.

First anime where I got into it enough to actually seek out discussion of it online and such. That was kind of my kick off point to get more into anime in general. I had watched Pokemon before as an even younger kid but I'd credit Digimon (season 1-3 but especially 3) more with really getting me into anime

There's the obvious answers like Dragon ball, Pokemon and Yu-gi-oh which everyone has seen at least one of as a kid, but what really got me into animu were Naruto, FLCL, Durarara, and Death Note.
---

I wasn't really a big anime fan until more recent memory. When I was a kid I was watching Toonami after school watching the old stuff. But I wasn't crazy into it. So I stuck with most of they kept airing until they eventually cancelled. But, I wasn't really THAT into it. Once it Toonami bit the dust I watched a little of what aired on [adult swim], Bleach, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, Durarara, so on. But, never really stuck with it other than, eh, it's on.

Wasn't until Toonami's revival that I started getting more into anime and taking it more seriously.

InuYasha, Sailor Moon, and DBZ are nostalgic, but the most important to me was Haruhi. Rewatching it 4~5 years after seeing it the first time, for the second season and movie, lead me to watching Clannad and K-ON. Those three are what really sparked my interest in seeking out more anime for the past six years.

I blame Mugi for my obsession with everything moe

Mmm interesting. Preferably of course I'd wanna see translations of content after anime, much like for Oregairu, the translators opted to just start translating the manga after the anime.
