The only reason people really talk about it is because they like to meme about Merlin because he is the most OP servant in FGO and is kind of a troll. FGO really isn't "pandering trash". It has fan service servants because it is a game that needs to constantly give motivations to roll an ever increasing roster of servants but the story isn't really bad at all once you get past the 1st couple of shaky singularities. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + if you liked tatami galaxy, I think you'll like this a lot since it basically copies the character designs. In this one, yuasa decides to eschew any writing structure and decides to take you through a stream of consciousness style of one night in kyoto. Fantastic animation, great soundtrack. I think the goal of the film is to get you intoxicated with the beautiful animation and all the events that happen in quick succession and to just have a good time. I think it's a tad worse than yuasa's tatami galaxy tho. Mostly cause senpai is not that developed compared to watashi. Kouhai is great though. Also if you're an original source guy like me, the movie is not like the original novel. Neither was tatami galaxy. It bums me out that I'm missing out on morimi's brilliance but I guess yuasa is okay too. More motivation to learn jp I guess On November 21 2017 07:48 Miragee wrote: I'm 4 episodes into NEET-anime and it's so weird to watch an asian take on people playing MMOs. Those characters are getting all hyped up and excited about p2w shit and RNG loot boxes you can buy with real money. I would be too. Do you like never play any lootbox, p2w, or gacha games? You don't even have to pay. If you win the gacha and get good stuff, you'll feel really good too. | ||

You don't even have to pay. If you win the gacha and get good stuff, you'll feel really good too. I have had this on my ptw for quite some time. Glad it's out now. Probably going to watch it in the next few days. As for the MMO stuff: No. I have always stayed away from p2w MMOs as far as I could. My main game has always been GW1 and I still hold the opinion that it trumps every other MMO in almost every regard. I also hate loot boxes. Unfortunately almost every MMO has them - at least as normal drops... The RM shop ones are the worst though. It's also that everything that involves luck turns me off. I don't feel great when I win/get something nice because it doesn't feel like I have done anything to deserve it. On the other hand I feel terrible when I lose/get something bad and I know I couldn't have done anything about it. 1/10 | ||

As long as you got a nice guild/alliance you can play though. There are also regular community events to revive dead areas every week. It's obviously a sad shadow of its former self but at least for me it sadly still better than any of the alternatives in the genre. I honestly don't know how many original GW players still play GW2. Everytime I play GW2 it the general chat and everyone I talked to didn't play the first game (which doesn't mean a lot but that's my experience). The two games don't really target the same kind of people, even if Arenanet pretends they do. Dunno why you wasted your energy showing Neo a Yuasa or Satoshi Kon movie. He's got shit taste, nevermind him. | ||

Have watched the first season and just one episode of the second one. I think the show is a two sided coin. On one hand it has all the beautiful things you described. On the other hand it has silly, totally out of place humour that is not funny at all and destroy the mood they had set before.

I find the humor a bit much at times, but it's definitely needed. I mean the MC has a lot of issues that cause him to be immature at times. The anime is in quite a hard spot. Shogi is nothing like GO and quite complex. From what hear, even a lot of people in Japan don't know much about the game. If Shogi was much more widespread, focusing more on the game then the humor would benefit it quite well. Later on in the second season, the humor really does go away. As long as they kept the cats, I could do without the rest of the humor. | ||

The second season is only 7 episodes (of 22) in or so. Anyways, what I'm talking about is the type of humour. If they would use incorporated humour I probably would have no complains. It's the set up comedy that kills it for me. Like chibi stuff, the cat stuff, scenes with weird backgrounds and music. It feels like thrown on top. It's not part of the world. They want me to feel for the characters but they basically constantly breaking the fourth wall with the comedy. There are shows where this is completely fine and I like it but those aren't shows that want to be taken seriously. You can't have both, serious emotional stuff and this type of comedy. Why not have them do some jokes? Or have a funny situation that makes sense in the world? A lot of authors seem to struggle with that and take the easy route instead. It might work for some people but it doesn't work for me. | ||

odd, i thought bones had an anime original series airing that season, but maybe they'll have 2 things airing at the same time? | ||

I expected it to take 9 months like the gap between S1 and S2 though and also because bones already announced a show for spring. But i suppose this won't be the first time bones has 2 shows airing at the same time, so it's not that unexpected. However this does makes me speculate that S3 might very well be 1-cour and not 2-cour. | ||

I think the show does overdo it by a bit. | ||
