Started on s2 of Beastars instead of Jaku Chara. Probably do that one next. I like Legosi's pace. Nice and relaxed. Still a weird furry bait setting, but enjoyable nonetheless.
Love Beastars, second season gets a bit weird tho.

Had Flick visit my island today, so I sold like 300k bells worth of bugs to him. I actually caught way more than that, but most of what I caught is being saved.

Good anime episodes all around this long weekend. Kingdom is set up for a crazy few episodes, 86 is hitting it's climax next episode, max level witch and nagatoro were great, to your eternity continues to be really good, revengers was good. Pretty much all around good. Huh, I wonder how much we know about next season yet since this one is heading towards the end.

Maid Dragon is undisputably anime of the season as it's in my top 5 anime. Could be an absolutely dumpster fire and Kobayashi would still somehow be best girl.

pso2's framework is super duper dated and held together by duct tape, so NGE is like a reboot plus remaster so it can look and run like not ass

regular pso2 will continue for at least another three of four years according to the schedule they had laid out a few years ago

also the plot isn't gonna be related to regular PSO2, like how PSO2 is unconnected to anything else PSO

its more like going from one call of duty game to another than going from pso to pso2 again, i guess you'd say?

a lot of the mechanics and UI are staying the same to the point where they're indistinguishable, its just prettier and cleaner as hell and plays smoother

it's mostly just needed because pso2 was way more successful than they'd thought it'd be even though the engine was already bad for its time

like they can't even modify boob sizes to be bigger so they ended up just making a boobs accessory you could slap anywhere on the body

Kai Byoui Ramune worth watching? Also, noticed Black Clover ended at 170 eps, that any good? See that its rating is nearly 8 on mal. Finished Beastars s2, which got odd near the end. Jaku chara is up next for me.

I keep hearing that Black Clover improves once you get past the early episodes and the asshat protag stops screaming all the time. That can be a big ask for a shounen series, but at least that one has the bonus that it is done and does not run for hundreds (or 1,000+ for One Piece) of episodes.

Asta never stops screaming, you just kinda get used to it, however you do at least learn why he's always yelling. The show does get better though, but IMO I don't think it ever really gets that great.

Been watching yashahime (the spinoff of inuyasha starring his kid). It feels a lot like the original in the sense that the plot goes fucking nowhere after it gets introduced and instead they beat a monster of the week while occasionally but not really getting slightly closer to their end goal. The main characters are simple but work fine.

The fighting is extra trash though, which is odd to me. The same attack goes from being worthless to oneshotting important enemies and back and forth. There is no consistency at all in power or ability to dodge or tankiness or anything. Unlike the original series they also have done absolutely nothing to get stronger or learn new moves or anything really. The main characters aren't any stronger and don't know any more or have anything more than after like episode 3 and I'm at episode 16. Well no, I guess Towa did learn how to absorb energy but she figured it out in like 15 seconds and they basically just told her she could do it and then she did.

It is easy to watch though. You can zone out for a while and not really miss anything.

played like half of xenogears a few years back. It was ok. Probably would have been amazing to me when it was new but I kinda feel like it's an inferior prototype of xenoblade X now.

@YoukaiSlayer I think it's funny that you should say that, because the game completely falls apart about 2/3 of the way through the game. The budget was MASSIVELY cut to go into Final Fantasy 8, and dear god does it show!

But the first 2/3 nail dialogue and atmopshere better than just about any jrpg ever made. What I'd give for a spiritual successor that reuses a lot of the concepts and fully realizes it!

Disk 2 of Xenogears is not good compared to what we got at the time.
But it's still good by today's standards.

Then again, I loved Xenosaga Episode 2 and hate Xenoblade so my opinions are moot.

So I've been trying to get into Yugioh again recently (It's been around 10 years since I played) and thought that Duellingbook (the main simulator) wasn't very fun to use (it's like a Tabletop Simulator for Yugioh), and found a bunch of different ones that will do the mechanics for you (like the old Tag Force games did), and then found this YGO Omega client, which actually feels like a real video game.

Because I really only understand the retro goat format, I wanted to try and do that first, but it looks like I will probably have to learn the current metagame if I want any consistent matchmaking.

It's cool tho.

Ugh, tokyo revengers has the exact same annoyance as re:zero. Both the main characters are weak as fuck and it's so frustrating watching them struggle to do anything at all. Both shows are good but like, would it have killed them to let these characters actually be somewhat strong? That's the appeal of the video game approach anyway. You will eventually get good enough to win and not just cause you cried enough to somebody else to actually do all the work.

I had to buy it used. It was something I try not to do but I couldn't find it new anywhere. It was like 2002 or 2003. That store I went to had sealed copies of Suikoden 1 and Breath of Fire 3 for $15 each.

Disk 2 around the time of disc 2 is where the game falls apart.

It's also not good by todays standards, it was only easier to deal with back then because in 1998 there wasn't much out there in terms of its character development. It's godawful now.

Hell, it was godawful by 2004. By 2004 we had games with its level of dialogue and atmosphere in DROVES with titles like the 90's Fallout 1 and 2, KOTOR 1 and 2, Planescape Torment, Baldur's Gate 2, Deus Ex, and Vampire The Masquerade: Bloodlines

nope, somewhat recent collab

pso2 has had a shitload of collabs including re:zero, fate/stay night (mother fuckin gilgamesh and archer costumes+voices!!!), trails of cold steel, persona, nanoha, danmachi, evangelion (had a little mission where you fought one of those angel things), sakura taisen, tales games, muvluv, fairy fail, legend of the galactic heroes....

that's probably less than a fifth of their total number of collabs, its ridiculous

I bought Legacy of the Duelist, and it turned me way off to the newer styles. Synchro summons were a little overpowered, but overall they made the game more interesting. Xyz and especially Pendulum summons are just way too broken. You can regularly flood the field in one turn, power creep is absurd, and things go from 0 to 80 in no time. I'd bet there's been some new ridiculous summon methods since then too. I still love the game, but I can't get with those new styles.

Jeez the power of simping is truly awe-inspiring and terrifying.

Amelia Watson is doing a 9-hour charity stream right now.

She initially set a goal of 15K, and the chat reached that goal like 30 minutes before the stream even started!

She kept pushing the goal higher and higher during the stream and now they're sitting at 200K donated for Best Friends Animal Society.

What's even crazier is that because there's no limit on donations for charity people have been shelling out the BIG BUCKS.

Current top donation by a single person is $15,000! And there were a couple of 1K, 2K and 5K donations popping up during the stream. People are GENEROUS.

Good job Ame. Harnessing the power of simps for a good cause.

If you didn't know, Hololive is a japanese Idol/Virtual Entertainment Company.

Amelia Watson is from the recently added Hololive EN branch of virtual idols.

Vtubers are basically streamers that use an anime avatar while streaming and usually have a set personality, background, and lore to go along with their avatar.

Yeah I tuned into that stream a bit earlier. I don't know why but I always love it when streamers set up all these plans for something like this with sub goals/donation goals but they just get obliterated in like 3 seconds. Like that time ironmouse was explaining a bit about her condition and the goal was met before she could finish talking (so in literally like 3 minutes). Or anytime they have some marathon stream to hit a milestone like kiara hitting 1 M recently but it gets reached before the stream even starts.

In more anime news, 86 is pretty good. I wish there were more action scenes cause it's got some of the best mecha action we've seen in a while but we only get like 1 fight scene for 30 seconds or so every 2-3 episodes. The story is pretty powerful but also kinda dumb. Like, they have a problem that is easily solvable but they just don't do the things that make sense on a country politics level. Idk, maybe thats actually more realistic than I'd like.

I got a really good friend who's a vtuber, she uses it because she doesn't wanna spend spend an hour putting on makeup every day for stream. While she does do a bunch of cute things with the catgirl character that she displays, she's totally who she's always been. Talk to her quite a bit both on and off stream.
