Board 8 > SaveEstelle LeonheartFour in Different Houses: Engage[d]! Edition [SELF]

(+) Yeah! (+)

Seeing it tomorrow!

---

I probably should have got tickets but eh, got a lot of stuff on my plate this week. Also historically I have some issues with Makoto Shinkai's directing style, though I admit his more recent stuff has done a fair amount to address those.
---

Your theatre might add more showings later on so you could try checking back if you are interested. I don't really know how they decide but the theatre near me has showings from today until the 23rd and most of those were not listed 2 or 3 days ago.
---

It was sort of hard to follow this so I might be wrong, but my understanding is that unlike most anime movies this was getting a normal theatrical run, in addition to some type of special showings tonight and tomorrow which were announced well in advance.

Dragon Ball Episode 28 complete

Did Roshi literally blow up the moon so Goku can't transform anymore? I feel like that would cause even bigger problems, but maybe not! Regardless, that was a fun final battle. I love last man standing tropes like this.

I haven't really followed it at all so I'm not sure (I found about the showings from this topic). But previous anime movies around here have also gotten extra showings at times.

Oh man I forgot he did that lol

Violet Evergarden Episode 10 complete

It was pretty easy to figure out who the letters were for, but the payoff at the end was still really touching.

---

Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated Episode 10 complete

It was kinda cool to have the monster be a dog to play off of Scooby. I like that you got to meet the pet mascot character of the original group here, too.

also I hope the end of this episode means they're shelving the Shaggy/Velma stuff for now because it honestly just keeps getting in the way of the good stuff

---

DBZ: Kakarot is pretty

---

Lots of salt for Byleth. Imagine the reaction when another sword user, Rean Schwarzer, gets announced in DLC pack 2.

---

Surely if a Trails character sneaks in it would have to Estelle, no?

---

I'm fine with Byleth

Honestly the "ugh another sword user" complaints kind of bummed me out for DQ Hero, who I was super excited about

---

Well Cold Steel will be on Switch and as far as I know not TitS.

---

Dunno if Rean would be more iconic than Estelle though.

Noted Smash Enthusiast Sean Chiplock would be over the moon if he got to voice Rean in Smash, so that would be cool.

---

Yeah, Byleth is fine. I don't care about the number of sword users in the game, especially since Byleth's sword has some unique properties as a Templar sword. If we had to have a Three Houses character, I'd have preferred Dimitri, but people are overreacting to this announcement.

But if HERE IS SOMETHING TO BELIEVE IN doesn't make it into the game in some way I will be disappointed

also keep in mind that Trails of Cold Steel III is coming to Switch so that would make Rean much more likely...!

dammit i immediately started workshopping a moveset for him now

B Neutral: Arc Slash
B Left/Right: Gale
B Up: Flame Dragon
B Down: Spirit Unification

Grab Attack: Headpat

Final Smash: Valimar

can't figure out what would work best for taunt.

---

Taunt would be Rean asking if you have any requests as he puts on his fake glasses.

---

that works

---

Also Final Smash would be all the girls showing up to fight over Rean and the other fighters get blown away as collateral damage.

---

Dragon Ball Episode 29 complete!

Oh hey, the roaming lake! I'm pretty sure that was a Discovery in Skies of Arcadia!

also we're back to searching for the Dragon Balls huh

---

Man I'm so sore

I'm not cut out for physical work all I did was as built a ton of structural shapes and I'm beat

And more tomorrow augh

Violet Evergarden Episode 11 complete

Wow, that was really well done. That was an interesting premise for an episode, and they delivered on it.

---

Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated Episode 11 complete

What a strange episode.

---

how long should I hold onto my old gear in DQ11 before selling it?

I don't want to get rid of it if it's useful for synthesis or something later on.

---

wait is this dude speaking in haiku

---

IIRC, the only gear you can synthesize is unsellable, but I'm not 100% sure on that.
---

never sold old gear
sometimes used for synthesis
I am a hoarder

---

is there an inventory limit for the item or equipment bags?

that's really my main concern at this point

---

uhh...I honestly dont recall

---

I dont think I sold anything so Im not sure (I dont think money was too much of an issue)

Anyway, just saw Weathering With You! (Appropriately it was raining here). Undecided on whether or not it was better than Your Name, but it was really good.

Did people in your theatre also react to Taki and Mitsuha's cameos? I had no idea they would show up until they did.

Taki got a big reaction. Not sure if as many people realized it was Mitsuha or if they just didnt react as much.

Did you watch the director interview after the credits? In it he mentioned that WWY takes place after the time skip in Your Name but slightly before they meet each other again.

Yes I did. Although, that meant Mitsuha moved to Tokyo after Itomori was destroyed and a few years later Tokyo is underwater. So I wasn't really sure what to think of that.

What was your theater's reaction to Tokyo flooding?
Half of mine literally started laughing

I don't recall exactly. Definitely not laughing, though. I think it was mostly surprise. I was definitely surprised since that's not usually the direction these stories go in.

Yeah I assume the laughing was because they thought the movie wasn't being serious. It was certainly surprising! (Obviously he wasn't going to let her be sacrificed, but I assumed there would be some happy ending Deus ex Machina stuff)

That was sort of my thinking. I expected them to figure something out the get the happy end possibly based on an overlooked detail earlier in the movie. But no such detail existed. They really couldn't fix the weather and save Hina.

so many black bars

I guess I need to make time to see this

Whew Ring Fit Adventure Day 11 complete

And now they're adding in sidequests? I wonder if I'll ever beat this game!

---

Dimitri or especially Edelgard would have been better but Three Houses representation is still good.

---

Isn't that a good thing? You want an exercise game to last forever

I mean, I can just start over (or just do exercise mode with no story since that's an option), but I still want to actually beat it!

---

Mega Man 7 beated! Man, that last Wily battle is brutal. Might be the toughest boss in the series. Overall, I like the game. My main complaint is that it feels like Mega Man moves really slowly compared to previous games, but it might be my imagination. I think the bosses are mostly pretty fun, and the stages are colorful and fit the theme of the Robot Masters. I like the fact that they brought back the Rush Power Adapter, as well as the ability to get the Proto Shield from Protoman. I guess some people might not like all the stuff they changed, but it doesn't bother me.

(Bass is super lame though)

2 > 3 >=4 > 7 > 6 > 1 > 5

now it's time to see if Mega Man 8 is as rough as I remember or if it's mainly just the really bad voice acting...!

---

there aren't many games where I'd say the voice acting actively detracts from the experience but Mega Man 8 might be one of them

---

Dragon Ball Episode 30 complete! I guess that means I'm like, what, a fifth of the way through the original series?

And I guess with the hunt for the Dragon Balls starting again, they had to bring back the joke villain trio! But it looks like they've introduced a new one who will be more serious business.

---

Violet Evergarden Episode 12 complete

I always felt that Gilbert's older brother was way too over the top in how he treated Violet, but their interactions in this episode showed how much she's grown over the course of the show.

---

Im stoked for when Leon is introduced to Vegeta. Which is ages from now, obviously. But my Kai rewatch has reminded me what a wonderful character he becomes.

---

Scooby-Doo: Mystery Incorporated Episode 12 complete! This show occasionally has some pretty big name VAs on it. This time, they had Crispin Freeman!

The monster this time was also a literal Cthulhu ripoff created by fictional author H.P. Hatecraft! There was also a dude who looked just like Che Guevara for some reason!
