YoukaiSlayer 05/05/22 1:03:02 AM #403:	keyblader1985 posted... This is where you're just overthinking it. This final showdown could have gone down when Sawaragi reached any of the final few spaces. It just happened to be the very last one. The whole point was that by revealing a lie he would instantly end the game. If she had been 1 space earlier, then she could have tied with him the next round and they both would have hit the end space. Actually, now that I think about it, shiho actually still should have ended with him. He revealed his lie after all the things were tallied. At the very least it was extremely lucky that they didn't also finish that turn since he had no way of knowing if they would or wouldn't. keyblader1985 posted... What? I'm pretty sure Yuichi said he originally wanted everyone to go on except for the traitor. I mean, I just read the chapter where it ends and he said he intended to solo end because he was hiding an even worse secret from them all. keyblader1985 posted... No it doesn't. Once the friendships had seemingly fallen apart and people were taking the game seriously, they'd have no reason to keep that information to themselves. Even if their common enemy were revealed, it wouldn't change the situation they're currently in. They'd have nothing to gain or lose by revealing their identity, but as long as there was even the slightest chance of that happening then the traitor would never volunteer to have their secret told. Then there's also no reason for the board to have positive spaces. The whole logic there is that the good guys and bad guys need a chance to win to increase excitement for the audience. If the traitor is revealed earlier, the rest of the game will be considerably less exciting. It would be a gamble but theres no way to play risk free. It's a gamble that initially seems bad but is actually very in favor of the traitor. It's also a very necessary risk to take because you need to false clear yourself in order to remain undetected. This is especially true if Shibe was secretly a mastermind because he would need to fool tenji who is known to be very smart and logical. If shibe had paid more attention and been smarter than tenji actually was, he would know that someone was holding both the girls nametags at that point and was likely clearing the suspects one by one. At that point he would have to assume that either tenji or yuuichi is both smart and also clearing people one by one. This would be Shibe's best possible shot and really the only possible way he could stay undetected. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:964803061] in Anime, Man...

YoukaiSlayer 05/05/22 2:27:56 AM #405:	keyblader1985 posted... A d the point of the positive spaces is obvious; to make money. Why would they let the players make money though? The anime at least explains it as making the show interesting by giving the players a way to win. keyblader1985 posted... It's true that knowing the traitor's identity might give the rest of them a common enemy, but that's no guarantee and if people always showed such solidarity then the Tomodachi Game would have gone under long ago It doesn't require solidarity. People frequently want to pin everything on one person or join in the hate mob. It would work even with strangers. And Shibe especially shouldn't really care about the debt. His father has tons of money and the game was kind enough to provide him blackmail to use on his father. Had he been the traitor, he could easily make plays that increase his debt with little worry. keyblader1985 posted... I'm looking at that very same chapter, and I do not see him ever saying that he always intended to go on alone. He doesn't explicitly state it but he lied earlier on purpose for this very play. He says it's the best method. It was clearly planned in advance that he would solo advance to the next round and specifically that he didn't want only one or two of the friends to lose. So lets look at what happens if shiho was 2 spaces before where she actually was (3 spaces from the end). Yuuichi does everything he does in the anime and reveals his lie and ends up one space ahead of shiho. Then both of them move forward one spot because the turn progresses. He is now 1 space from the goal and shiho is 2 spaces from the goal. The traitor decides shiho still must pay and writes something horrible about her in the next round. She goes more than 1 space and Yuuichi goes 1 space forward and they both hit the goal, an outcome that Yuuichi doesn't want. keyblader1985 posted... I just don't get how this series is giving you so much trouble. I've seen a lot of discussion on various sites, and practically none of the points you've brought up were mentioned elsewhere, even among negative comments. And I don't get how it isn't giving other people more trouble. Then again I often have problems with shows that other people don't so nothing new for me here. I had the same issue with kaguya sama early on. It irritates me greatly when a show presents a character as a genius when they aren't actually that smart (because they author isn't a genius). A logic game with genius protagonists needs to be airtight in it's logic and believable in it's psychology. A character can get lucky or take risks, but the show needs to present them as luck and risks respectively instead of presenting as a genius foolproof plan. Kaiji for instance was great at this. Kaiji is not a manipulative mastermind so when he misses something crucial, it feels plausible and when he takes a logical leap, we know it's a gamble. Whereas the sister series, akagi has a genius protagonist and akagi misses nothing and will find every loophole in every game and exploit it to win. If he were to miss something I'd be just as annoyed as I am at tomodachi game. I can count on him to always take the optimal path and when watching I never found a time where he didn't (granted it's been quite a while since I've seen it). --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:964804006] in Anime, Man...

Don't most sadistic games like this have potential ways to come out ahead (as opposed to simply reducing your debt and going home with a net zero)? YoukaiSlayer posted... It doesn't require solidarity. People frequently want to pin everything on one person or join in the hate mob. It would work even with strangers. Yes, but that doesn't mean they'd all get along without turning on one another after that person is dealt with, or even before. That malice and selfishness would not end with just one person. Heck, that's another staple of the genre; everyone starts a game with one clear enemy, but just one or two betrayals is enough to destroy their temporary truce. Also I again think you're overestimating Shibe's financial state. They're not that obscenely wealthy, that they can throw those large amounts of money around on a whim. YoukaiSlayer posted... He doesn't explicitly state it but he lied earlier on purpose for this very play. He says it's the best method. Yeah.. like halfway through the game. We apparently have different definitions of "always." YoukaiSlayer posted... It irritates me greatly when a show presents a character as a genius Nobody has done that. Neither Yuichi nor anyone else has made claims of him being a genius. Actually later on they make a point of saying that he's not a perfect tactician. If you keep expecting this perfect standard out of works of fiction then you're gonna keep being disappointed, and should probably just move on. I wanted to discuss the series with someone, but.. not like this. I don't think you've said one thing about it that wasn't a complaint.

Don't most sadistic games like this have potential ways to come out ahead (as opposed to simply reducing your debt and going home with a net zero)? They are already locked in at this point and I'm going by the reasoning the show itself used, that they wanted it to be entertaining for the gods by giving the people a way to win so there is tension. keyblader1985 posted... Yes, but that doesn't mean they'd all get along without turning on one another after that person is dealt with, or even before. That malice and selfishness would not end with just one person. I just don't see that happening. I mean, looking at it from a meta perspective, the author wrote it in the way that would be most exciting, which happens to be revealing the traitor at the end. It's very thrilling to wonder if someone is going to get caught or not. Regardless, gambling that they don't pick that secret to expose is the only way the traitor could have gotten away with it. Not going for that ensures getting caught, like what happened. Which should mean to Yuuichi that it wasn't enough to clear Shibe 100%. keyblader1985 posted... Nobody has done that. Neither Yuichi nor anyone else has made claims of him being a genius. Actually later on they make a point of saying that he's not a perfect tactician. It's not specifically what they say about the character (although the observers gush pretty obnoxiously), but how they present his plans. As if he isn't actually taking risks or getting lucky. Show me the tension when he gambles on Shibe not being the traitor or that the people running the game will allow the lie to count even though it was already ruled on and to handle that movement before processing the current round that had already been done or that Shiho wouldn't end up trusting Tenji and sharing the papers with him. Yuuichi is never shown to be tense or worried or perhaps excited at any uncertainty. It's presented as though it was completely certain and every possibility was accounted for. keyblader1985 posted... Seeing people whining nonstop about shows they keep watching is why I left the Arrowverse discussion boards. Well to be fair I was going to drop it until you said it's great and convinced me to keep watching after I'd complained about the first episode. I also just don't have anything better to do. I'm too sick to do much of anything and I just went through 22 years of anime on MAL and found only one show to watch that I'm not in the mood for. keyblader1985 posted... If you keep expecting this perfect standard out of works of fiction then you're gonna keep being disappointed Well, you aren't wrong, but theres not really anything I can do about it. I don't want these things to bother me and some genres definitely allow me to suspend my disbelief a lot more. Like I've just taken to avoiding everything with time travel because it will annoy me too much to enjoy when they do it wrong and everyone does it wrong. With the logic game genre though I've had better success. Kaiji season 1 was great, I enjoyed akagi, I enjoyed about half of liar game, one of the few manga I've read very much of.

YoukaiSlayer 05/06/22 3:08:44 PM #409:	Well, anime has been great the last couple of days. Summertime render just gets more and more interesting. I suspect that main guy ~~is a defective shadow this entire time~~ but honestly theres so many twists already and we aren't even 1/4th of the way through so I don't have much confidence in that. Ya boy kongming had it's best episode yet complete with a 7 or so minute long rap battle. That show is wild. I still worry it's concept will run out of room but at least for now it's great. And then executioner finally had an intense episode and damn they gave us so much information that it's kind of hard to process. Thus far the show had a cool setting and ok characters but nothing to really use those things but they finally did this time. I do wonder why akari doesn't just keep her future memories. Seems like you could have a much more pleasant end. Even can share em with menou and maybe stop flare. In fact, I suspect this will end up making me upset at the end as everything with time travel does. Demon girl next door hit us a bunch of plot and it's great as always. Honestly didn't expect ~~they would encounter sakura anytime soon.~~ Still have kaguya and aharen to watch from today. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:964838831] in Anime, Man...

YoukaiSlayer 05/07/22 11:57:21 AM #412:	Wow. So this is just the week of anime rap. Last week aharen had a hilarious rap part. This week ya boy and love is war both had rap battles (and chika called miyuki a motherfucker, twice). The animators went all out this week for love is war and they even had a full version of the song with an animated music video replacing the ED which was pretty great.

This week ya boy and love is war both had rap battles (and chika called miyuki a motherfucker, twice). The animators went all out this week for love is war and they even had a full version of the song with an animated music video replacing the ED which was pretty great.

Speaking of yuri, I'm legitmately confused as to why executioner has such a low score this season. That show is pretty decent but it's well under 7 for some reason. I expected last week at least to up it's score since it had some huge reveals and action but nothing happened. I was trying to catch up on a webtoon I started back in the hospital called omniscient reader. It's complete trash but somehow entertaining (every single problem is solved by the main character pulling some ability or item out of his ass because he has future knowledge and we don't). After like 3 chapters it became a lot harder to breath. I hate my health condition, it feels so arbitrary. Like, I read forum posts plenty, I watch youtube videos with no issue, but somehow scrolling a webtoon just obliterates my nervous system. Been doing worse for a few days now because of that. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:965010105] in Anime, Man...

Tons of LN's these days have been getting them I presume they would be relatively fine, but it's kind of tough to go at the pace of an audiobook. I know I started an audiobook of wheel of time but got too bored after a couple hours to continue. I should check it out for some though, I haven't really looked into light novels as a whole. Was actually talking to my mom about this earlier. It's kind of like how it's really hard to play pokemon for me now if it's not an emulator with speedup because vba just got me too used to the speed up. I know some people who only watch videos at 1.5 or 2x speed and I worry I'd not be able to switch back if I ever tried that for a week or two. I did at one point find a youtube video of a guy reading tower of god where the person just has the webtoon on screen and reads it out loud but that triggered my issues as well IIRC. Also for anime just as a test I've watched it muted, and also listened to it without watching it, and they both triggered the same response as just watching it normally. It really seems like activating certain sections of my brain or nervous system also activate some nearby system because playing different video games, or watching anime, or reading, or doing puzzles all cause consistent but different symptoms. Kind of like synethesia I guess. I have visual snow which is also the same type of symptom where one thing also activates a nearby section of the brain it shouldn't.

You can see it's rating on MAL has nosedived as well from nearly 8 after the first episode to 7.04 and still dropping. keyblader1985 posted...

Shikimori started out boring, but then turned into a pretty popular manga, while Cuckoo started out strong but has nosedived in quality as of now. --- "Splashing water on a pervert is like putting lasers on a shark" - Shiho Shishido <cite>T0ffee posted [p:965076111] in Anime, Man...

YoukaiSlayer 05/16/22 11:47:16 PM #445:	I think the anime got some false praise in the community before airing that got people that wouldn't have been interested to watch and end up disappointed, like me. A lot of people had been comparing it to last seasons dress up darling when apparently, it never tried to be anything like that and is just a relatively simple SOL romance. My big complaint is that the gimmick of main guy being essentially cursed to have objects fly at his head is not funny and isn't explored in any kind of interesting way. Every scene practically is some object falling or flying towards main guy and then shikimori blocks it asks if he is ok in a "cool" way. That's it. The show is that one gimmick on repeat and it's never spiced up unlike, say, sakamoto. The writer needs to be creating new and interesting ways for shikomori to look cool, but he just wasn't able to come up with even one that was interesting in the first few episodes. I kept hoping the next scene wouldn't be the same thing again but it always was. I personally didn't feel like it was TOO bad in the first episode, cause it was introducing stuff, and I expected them to just use that as a base to establish the characters before moving into a more normal highschool comedy, but they didn't. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:965092652] in Anime, Man...

A lot of people had been comparing it to last seasons dress up darling when apparently, it never tried to be anything like that and is just a relatively simple SOL romance. Those people must have never read the manga because Bisque Doll was 100% the same between the manga and the anime. Like, absolutely flawless adaptation. People always fall for SoL / Rom Coms thinking they are "sexual", when they never are. My issue (which has always been an issue, even back before I took my break from anime) was that people always praise the weirdest anime (or don't praise the weirdest anime). Shows like Odd Taxi or Spy X Family. Would never see myself watching either of these, and I don't really understand why they were promoted so much. Shows like Demon Slayer? I don't like Shounen Jump in general, but they have a huge legacy behind them and I understand the hype from people who have been fans of SJ ever since Dragon Ball. Edit: Looks like Spy x Family is a Shounen Jump+ Manga. I think I remember hearing about it a few years ago, and it being notable because it was a non-traditional Shounen Jump manga. --- You're a regular Jack Kerouac Not removing this until I've left March 2020. <cite>Judgmenl posted [p:965109828] in Anime, Man...

Like, absolutely flawless adaptation. People always fall for SoL / Rom Coms thinking they are "sexual", when they never are. I have no idea what you are saying here. Nothing I'm saying has to do with sexuality. Bisque doll is entertaining and funny with some touching moments. Shikimori is a slice of show where virtually nothing happens. Basically shikimori was never going to be a contender against the quality of bisque doll cause it just isn't amazing. Judgmenl posted... Spy X Family. Because it's really funny and adorable.

YoukaiSlayer 05/18/22 1:32:25 AM #449:	Finally caught up on the weekly anime with love is war. I keep saving that for last when the weekend chunk of anime hits. The latest episode has me thinking about the big weakness of school anime compared to other similar types of anime in different settings. Highschool is only 3 years long (in japan). If you want to make use of the setting and have different events for the characters to interact with, you can't help but progressing the timetable of the show. You can never have 4 xmas episodes of a highschool anime. You put the same type of cast in a workplace setting and it could go forever and fantasy can fit 50 festivals in one year if they want to since it's all made up anyway. I always end up feeling kind of sad whenever these seasonal events come up in the shows, knowing that the end of these characters fun times together are coming to a close, and probably sooner than later. It actually makes me think of the end of welcome to the nhk. The most down to earth ending that show could have possibly had, but that also made it really depressing. I should rewatch that at some point. That show could have been about me if I'd been healthier. --- I'm ninja (you can't see me) <cite>YoukaiSlayer posted [p:965119521] in Anime, Man...
