She's voiced by our favorite shovel knight, and she has a dream of a yuri harem to boot.

Oh my. Looks like I need 500k.

be warned though, she's a gold digger...

But she'll still do lewd things right? Like holding Nia's hand?
---

Oh yeah, one of the super bosses spawn in that weather at approximately that location. The best source of Legendary Cores later lmao and probably outside of one other one, the best entry-level superboss btw, cuz it drops probably the best crit chance chip

Nah, she DRINKS CUPS OF TEAS WITH THEM LITERALLY TRIGGERED. That lewd bimbo
---

Have you two invested into Poppi? I look at her special equips and my head explodes
---

I kinda want to avoid using poppi for the main game because she's broken as fuck, or at least until i don't get the the third form because i like doing chain combos.
---

Poppi only gets outright broke after you get the last form. Before that, she's almost exclusively a tank. I personally always used her for stuff I had trouble with cuz my Morag build sucked
---

How to use morag:

Give her 3 tank blades with agi%
give her aggro accesories
???
Good job you have a mediocre attacker with a lot of freaking HP and evade that struggles getting aggro.

Seriously i think ill just change her to full attacker later or something...
---

Yeah that's her in a nutshell. Most people thought she was super op when the game was first released, that Poppi was pointless, but then people actually took the time to see what Poppi could do, and that was the end of that.

She's basically the naked Dunban strat of Xenoblade 2
---

Yeah pretty much, but much like naked dunban, you change the strat into something non conventional based on her skills and she becomes really strong.

In dunban's case though, he was really strong because of his auras and high damage skills.

Gab dropout's OP is so funny.

if you were to karaoke gabriel dropout's OP, which part would you do

Honestly, even though Gabu's lyrics look dumb, her parts are melodic and sound the best. It's also funny how vignette the kindest one has the roughest with rock music going on in the background.
Also, @Calwings girls last tour just came out right?

It didn't just come out, but it was from last season, so it's pretty recent.
---

stuff from this season still hasn't even really finished coming out yet, so girls last tour is about as recent as it gets
---

Man each chapter in xeno 2 keeps getting better and better, just finished chapter 6, wew lad.
---

hmm I usually give a show at least a season or two to rest before watching it (I know, bad habit but eh). Made in Abyss was last year right? I might get into that soon.
---

Should watch made in abyss asap IMO.

It's just good lol. You will want a cute show like Gabu though for right after.

It is a damn good show and the villain is easily the best of 2017

Ah, that's a great idea. What were you guys watching for recovery after MIA?
---

Nothing, MiA was wholesome.

I just realized that is the apex of japanese animation and haven't seen anything since then.
---

MiA is still the last thing I've watched. Although now I'm partway through phi brain (lol) so I guess that's my recovery show? recovery from how bad mia was

oh, before you look that up: guess when this show came out based on these screenshots of it

Is this the third or fourth time you've posted bad/wrong opinions about anime in the past month?

Now now spidey, there's no wrong opinions, just bad ones.

I wouldn't say that about the 1st season. I've definitely seen better stuff in that same year.

But a season 2? wew. That would be an AOTY without question

Kamuri from Slow Start. She's basically an even more cuddly Kanna from Dragonmaid.

Speaking of lolis, is there any cuter blades than Ursula or did I hit the apex on the first rare draw?

Electra is the cutest by far.

Not big on the hair. Might get a better impression if I could see her 3d model.

Today's episode of Clear Card just made my day.

*minor Cardcaptor Sakura: Clear Card spoilers*



Meiling made it in!

For those who didn't know this, Meiling was actually an anime-original character in the first Cardcaptor Sakura series, never appearing in the manga. When the new series was announced, it was mentioned that it would stick closer to the manga than the original CCS anime adaptation did, so fans were afraid that Meiling wouldn't appear at all despite her popularity from the original anime. But she appeared in episode 6 (in a video call with Sakura) which dispelled those fears and made a lot of fans of the original anime happy.

Meiling and Kero bickering with each other was so hilarious too.



---

Who should get Roc? For that matter, who should get which rare blade?

Nevermind that first question...
---

He's locked to Rex. As long as Nia gets 1 Healer and you give all the freebie tank blades to the 4th member, you're honestly free to give whoever whatever. Tank blades aren't really that flexible. You'd usually want your dedicated tanks to get the tanks, except maybe Perceval who's offense oriented (but of course Tora and the 4th are the only really good pure tanks, and Tora can't roll blades). But the rest, you can put em anywhere and it'd be fine. Full attacker fucking sucks on low level run cuz they instantly strip away aggro from even end game Poppi, and some attackers are Ether based, which might end up working better on Nia so she can do more than just healing. And some blades like Adenine are offensive oriented, so she's good on Rex, but you eventually don't have to worry about that. I used her on Nia as her offensive option personally.

I kinda also wish this game had a few more healing oriented attacker blade though? Pyra/Mythra are the best healing oriented attacker, the rest require way too much resources, like their healing is locked to their specials

yeah no kidding it feels like this show timetravelled like 5-6 years into the future or something, https://files.catbox.moe/55djuq.png this is definitely not what I think of as 2011 anime lol

also one of the weirder monster of the week setups I've seen

No thanks. Those chumps need to work on their personality problems if they want the number of participants to stop going down each year.

Wish I didn't summon Ursula with Rex lol. Do the cutscenes change depending on who summoned them? Or is Rex always too involved?
---

It's actually based on the driver. It's a few minor dialogue change.

The animated cutscenes are made ambiguous enough, but fun fact, they also change based on who you've already recruited into your party.

And Ursula's fine on Rex. I actually use her a ton on Rex. His strat is just remaining on Mythra til there's a big AOE, switch to Ursula for quick healing, build specials on her cuz gauntlets build that shit fast as hell, go back to Mythra for the damage

Tapdancing christ, Violet Evergarden has gotten so damn good.

My college campus got shut down for today due to a water outage, so since I have no schoolwork, studying, or any other important things I need to do today, I'm gonna use my day off for a full day of anime-watching relaxation. I'm already caught up on currently airing shows, so I have two separate ideas for what to watch today:

1) Watch two movies I've had on my to-watch list for a while: Sword Art Online: Ordinal Scale and No Game No Life: Zero.

OR

2) Continue with the Mahou Shoujo Lyrical Nanoha series by watching as many episodes of Nanoha ViVid as I can.

Which option should I choose?
---

Sorry Cal, I would've if I was on then :D

Although you're probably better off without my input, I don't recognize any of those shows <_< >_> <_<

Marathoning Getter today.

EDIT: No one responded, I'll just go with Nanoha..

Good call.

I see lol. How much of a pain in the ass is it to switch blades to another driver?

It's pretty hard early on. You only get like 3-4 overdrives in the main game, 5 from maxing out your driver affinity, and 1 for every time you release a fully maxed 4-crown blade. But if you do everything right, there's only really 1 that's necessary if you get super unlucky (the 1 healer for Nia). The rest are purely up to your preference.

You also get like 3-4 from DLC. I have like 12 overdrives left unused. They're pretty useless to me

Yeah kinda this, after seeing the kind of response when people didn't like what other people said, it reminded me of OT and instantly turned me off of participating in this...

And yeah spidey overdrive protocols are a pain in the ass...
