I've never been a NEET. The stress that comes from being unemployed far outweighs the benefit of added free time for me.

Currently just past the halfway mark for Deen Fate / Stay Night, and ... maybe it's my imagination, maybe it's because of how old the show actually is, but this is a lot better than I remember. Except for that CG dragon. That was ass.

You guys have any shows that you really liked, but probably won't ever rewatch for one reason or another?


Watching Free! once was good enough for me, I think. There are other sports anime that would have a rewatch priority over it (e.g. Yowapeda).

Made in abyss. I may rewatch at some point and I absolutely loved it but it's rough to see what happens and it's still not resolved. That may change once it gets another season or 2 and ends.

Speaking of which this winter has a made in abyss movie coming up but the description concerns me because it says it's a sequel I hope they're not giving us just a movie in place of a actual series.

I found a unicorn at work today - a customer came through he drive thru wearing a Cowboy Bebop shirt, and as u was complimenting her on it I looked in the passenger seat and nearly lost my shit. She was reading volume 2 of Case Closed manga.

Excluding relatives who got into it from because of me, I've seen maybe three people ever who like the series, which is a damn shame because it's one of my absolute favorites. I made a loud noise resembling a yelp, got a bit tongue-tied explaining myself, but I eventually got there. I wish we were able to talk more about it.

I haven't checked into the movie but the next arc after the anime fits a movie format pretty well. I don't think they could conceivably wrap up the whole thing in a movie. I hope we do get a proper season 2 at some point. i haven't checked up on the manga basically since the show aired. Hopefully it finishes. I know the author was pretty slow and goes on hiatus a lot. They only put out like 5 chapters a year and that hasn't sped up at all since the anime.

I can't think of any shows I liked but wouldn't want to watch again. I'm always open to a re-watch; even for mysteries, where a lot of people feel like there's no point once you know what happens.

The con over the weekend went okay, all things considered; there were a lot of issues, but everyone on staff put in 110 percent to make sure everything went well regardless. After being forced to change venue due to contract issues, the whole thing took place in four different buildings, up to twenty minutes away from each other. There was free transportation on a handful of buses, but they were often delayed and were always packed so people were waiting in line for one for up to a half hour.

In addition to the rave thing, one vendor was kicked out for tweeting for people to sneak into the con so she could make more sales. She went on a tirade on social media and even the local news, and patrons are going nuts taking sides and shitting on the con in general. But just as many people are defending TnT; saying they had a great time anyway and they could see the staff were dedicated and making the best of a bad situation.

I also saw a few faces that I always see volunteering at other conventions; you eventually become a small community if you go to enough events. And my group was really cool to hang out with; as we were leaving locations after teardown (with one of us getting looks because of his L cosplay) we were all singing along to random songs. (I also felt a strange bit of shame; the older white woman and her son knew all the lyrics to some classic rap songs that I hadn't even heard before. But I did know Regulators and Baby Got Back.)

Oh god fucking dammit..

https://www.theverge.com/2019/7/17/20697601/nintendo-switch-new-model-battery-life-improvements

This always happens! I JUST bought a new Switch yesterday, and now they reveal an updated model.

This also happened when I got the New 3ds. They released an updated version with a better screen a week after I bought it.

I wonder if it's possible to send it in to Nintendo to get it replaced. Is that covered by the warranty?

Just box it up and take it back.


I bought it on Amazon though. What's their return policy like?

Although, to tell you the truth, I'm not really bothered by it all that much. I mean, it's supposedly only an extra hour or two of battery life, and I'm probably gonna play it docked most of the time.

And I just put extra care and effort on putting screen protector on it, and I'm too lazy to go through the return process. :/

I was thinking of getting a Switch Lite when it comes out, but I may get the new regular model instead. I would at least like the option of docking to a TV.

I started reading An Ideal Sponger Life. I just couldn't pass up on the dark skin + oneesan combination. Also planning to read Futaba-kun Change, after my sister randomly began reading it.

Can't really think of anything. Honestly, there are a lot of shows I didn't particularly like which I'd probably watch again.

Bro, you know a lot of people here who talked about liking it. And, when I bring it up to anime fans irl, I think just about everybody had a positive reaction.

Yeah, I was going to talk about how Deen Fate / Stay Night actually isn't bad at all, now that I've finished it, but ... the Kyo Ani fire is serious business. Dozens of fatalities at one of the only anime studios that doesn't treat its employees as slave labor ... because of some jackass claiming they plagiarized his work. I'm hoping more details come out in the next few days.

Damn
I see you guys heard about the Kyo Ani fire too, really sad stuff with a lot of people dead for no good reason, RIP to the 33 victims.

On the other side of things I've finally caught up with all the Attack on titan episodes (I hadn't even seen S2 before now)
Overall I'm surprisingly impressed with it, the plot moved at a rapid pace while introducing new plot points that end up making sense, it was a really engaging watch imo
Also, the Levi vs Kenny and Beast titan fights were excellent, the animation really kicked butt there with the beast titan fight being the cooler one, also RIP Erwin, I guess Armin was the better blonde lol

On a personal note, with everything going on in the last week, this was the first time I didn't think about my cousin who died in January. Up until now there hasn't been a single day since it happened that I haven't thought about him, but I was so busy/happy/upset/distracted over the weekend that I'm pretty sure at least a day went by without him on my mind. I guess I'm glad for that, in a bittersweet way.

Ugh, I hesitated too long and lost out on some cheap games. Was going to pick up Detective Pikachu for $20, the new No More Heroes for $20, and Mega Man 11 for $15. Meh, I guess I'll probably get them at those prices or cheaper during Black Friday. I'm not in any real hurry.

At any rate, I finally got around to finishing Isekai Quartet. Now I'll likely watch either KonoSuba or Re:Zero as my next anime. Need to figure out which one, although that'll partly come down to how easy it is to find them dubbed somewhere.

The worst part about terrible reviews like that is that people actually find them "helpful." They decide not to try an otherwise decent series, and in worst cases their future judgments could be influenced by that way of thinking.

On video games, I've been trying to jump back into Bravely Default, since I've been on Chapter 4 since like.. whenever the game came out. I still haven't even actually done anything yet though - I spent a lot of time catching up on the story, then trying to refresh on the battle system.

Since I feel that enough time has passed, I can comment on this: I rewatched the '06 Fate / Stay Night anime with the missus, and both of us enjoyed it immensely. Is it as pretty as the Ufotable Fate shows? No, but it remains the only way to experience the Saber arc short of playing the VN, and, for that purpose, it is enjoyable, IMO. ... The OST is also god-tier. I hunted it down on Amazon shortly after finishing the show. Unfortunately, the OST for the Ufotable version U.B.W. is not so easily obtained, but we are rewatching that now. Going to pre-order the import release of Heaven's Feel II. Lost Butterfly this weekend, most likely, between bouts of Fire Emblem: Three Houses. (Taking vacation time to play the Hell out of that!)

Part of the reason why I've been hesitant to check out the other FATE series is that I liked the original Stay Night so much.

In other news, I was pleased to find that tiny Rowlett McDonald's toy. Forgot I had that. I'm still not sure if Rowlett is my second or third favorite starter, although part of Torchic's popularity comes more from the evos. (Bulbasaur remains my undisputed favorite.)

We could do a whole topic about that franchise, but the Unlimited Blade Works TV series is a good investment of your time, IMO. ... There's also the movie version, which is by the same studio that did the Stay Night anime, and that's not bad for reviewing that route, but there's no way a two-hour feature can cover the same ground as a 26-episode masterwork.
