Well I guess this kind of movie would just count as another case of the franchise being milked like so many others. Once they saw how much money Code Geass generated they clearly didn't want to leave it there lol.

Okay I see, well I’ll eventually get around to it I guess, I’m still trying to finish a lot of JRPGs and right now I’m playing the Romancing SaGa 2 remake even though I never played the original but the remake still retains the old-school feel, especially with how unique the game is. It's basically a mix between JRPGs and strategy games since you have to conquer territories over thousands of years and there’s no fixed main character.

I definitely need to play Mass Effect at some point too and I’m surprised it’s not that long. I’ll try to get to it soon as well, I’m just juggling several games at the same time and I also want to relax a bit so I started playing Stardew Valley too lol. Never played it before but I like it, it’s chill.

By the way do you know if the Universal Studios theme park is good? I visited the one in Osaka in Japan so I’m curious about the original one in the U.S.

No worries, are you doing any better now?

Yeah I remember when the latest movie was teased I think we didn't have the info that it was set in an alternate timeline so most people were getting crazy over Lelouch being revived. It would have ruined the story's ending though.

What are the strongest points of the story? I really don't know this franchise, so I'm curious. I don't know which game I should play now that I finished Yakuza Like A Dragon, I don't really want to play a very long game now.

Yeah I would guess so since it's supposed to be a desert anyway, there's probably the infamous death valley near it but if there's nothing to see and that the experience is just being exposed to a high temperature it's not really worth it obviously. But yeah I see what you mean, I guess the whole area is just overrated because of the west coast culture from the movies and songs.

Speaking of Code Geass did you watch the movie sequels and spin-off? I actually only watched the TV anime because I was unsure if all the additional stuff was worth it or not.

I never played Trails in The Sky, it looks like "Tales of" games. Are you interested in the Suikoden I & II remaster? I want to play it so bad but the price is way too high for a remaster.

I think it's planned to be released on PC this year.

Well at least I plan to go visit the canyons, that's not something you can miss when you're in the area.

Okay, I get what you meant now. Well, we could definitely use that here too, things are getting out of hand in some cities...

I think 86 would count as a mecha show, right? Otherwise I remember watching a few others but most of them were pretty bad in my opinion like Sakugan, Kyoukai Senki (I barely remember anything about that one lol) or Back Arrow (two cours for absolutely nothing).

Sono Bisque Doll was disappointing in terms of its ending. The manga had always been consistent but sadly the ending felt rushed and kind of pointless.

Damn, yeah and from what I saw Red Eyes has been published since 1999 so I doubt any new fansub group will pick it up at this point.

At least to reassure you most people struggled with that boss, so you’re definitely not alone lol.

Lol, that reminds me of what happened with Stellar Blade where they had to censor some camera angles, the character literally kicks the camera if you try to peek under her skirt.

I generally don’t check out that genre, so I didn’t know about it before you recommended it to me, sadly.

Yeah unfortunately... but the thing is, as a tourist, you're not just going to visit the countryside and stay there on your first trip. Terrible or not, I still think it's necessary to see the cities if you've never been before. I'd say the same about France, sure the countryside is way better but if I were a tourist visiting for the first time I’d still go to Paris despite all its issues. That said, the cultural and historical aspects there are still strong, unlike what you mentioned about LA.

Do you have more details about that? I don’t think I’ve heard about it before. By the way, are you talking about people with Irish roots in the US moving back to Ireland?

Well, I’m not surprised since a lot of recent mecha stories are based on older ones. It’s kind of a shame that we barely get any truly new and good mecha shows these days. I mean it happens but it’s rare, maybe once or twice a year at best. I wouldn’t even count Suisei no Majo since it’s just a Gundam spin-off. That said, I did like Yuuki Bakuhatsu Bang Bravern recently.

I’m doing the same, and now you’re reminding me that I need to finish Komi San, I’m like 10 chapters from the end but didn’t even think about catching up. Same issue with translations for me and it’s annoying when some series do get translated but at such a slow pace. This one for example https://myanimelist.net/manga/106190/Hoankan_Evans_no_Uso__Dead_or_Love (Hoankan Evans no Uso) I’ve been reading it for years it’s already finished since 3 years in Japan but there are still like 70 chapters left to be translated lol. And this one is even worse: https://myanimelist.net/manga/58209/Shin_Kurosawa__Saikyou_Densetsu (Shin Kurosawa: Saikyou Densetsu), it ended 5 years ago and it’s still being translated slowly. The story is awesome though so I don’t want to put it on hold...

Are you talking about the Okumura boss? (Haru’s father) I wouldn’t be surprised, he’s the only really annoying boss in my opinion. I even had to fight him twice because of a mistake later on that forced me to redo a part of the game.
What do you mean by the censored bits in Mass Effect?
Did you play or like Far Cry Primal? That one was kind of controversial.

I can’t find the demo for Last Train Home on Steam but at least it’s got a 50% discount so the price isn’t too bad.

I mean LA is supposed to represent West Coast culture right? Because otherwise I’m not sure what city I should visit to experience that vibe... I’ve heard San Francisco’s not great...

I mean this is what should be the norm, but here if you say that you're considered as a far-right extremist, this is why Europe is kinda doomed especially with the ongoing war issues to make it even worse.

Are you speaking about this one? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gridman_the_Hyper_Agent

I'm also reading Kaette Kudasai Akutsu-san but it is on hiatus because of the author's health issues I think :( many romcoms are ending, this is the case for Sono Bisque Doll, I wonder when Boku no Kokoro no Yabai Yatsu will end too. I'm also reading this one https://myanimelist.net/manga/147494/Kanan-sama_wa_Akumade_Choroi it's pretty fun but it's quite ecchi.

What made you stop Persona 5 though? Because for my case it was the opposite and I was hooked and played too much lol. I started Yakuza Like a Dragon and it's SO GOOD, I just love it and I can't stop playing, I prefer this series as a JRPG. I didn't play any Mass Effect for some reason, is it really that good? Skyrim is a classic and I like Far Cry but recently I mainly played Far Cry 5, I didn't try the 6th one. And thanks for the Last Train home recommendation, I think I heard about it before, it looks pretty good.

Also it has been decided that I will visit the USA for the first time this summer, though I think I will just stay in big cities such as New York and Los Angeles because I only stay there for 2 weeks.

Damn, good riddance then.

I mean it's understandable but in the end it's just gonna hurt the lives of average citizens in both countries.

What older sentai series is it for Gridman? Because I like the series but I wasn't aware of it? I watched Knight's & Magic but it was forgettable I would say except for the character design especially the mecha part so it should be fine in the game I guess.
I actually found FMP Invisible Victory to be actually as good as the previous series even though it was made much later, Fumoffu is also very fun as a parody.
Which manga are you reading right now? I haven't started anything since 2025 but I still try to keep up with the ongoing ones I read, also a lot of romcom are much better as manga anyway, just like this one https://myanimelist.net/anime/58853/Kuroiwa_Medaka_ni_Watashi_no_Kawaii_ga_Tsuujinai the anime is very meh but I read the manga and it's so much better, especially the art style.

Okay, Hoi4 is a classic, I don't really play any Paradox Games actually but I did try Hoi4 and also played it with a friend since there are so many possibilities to make the game fun. I'm not a fan of strategy games like that, but even though it's not Paradox I played some multiplayer Civilization VI, I like it.
I'm probably too much into JRPG to play anything else right now, I finished Metaphor ReFantazio and now I try to finish the Yakuza Series, almost done with Yakuza 0

I actually had no idea about that before, it's kinda insane, when you think of cartels and gangs in America from a European point of view I'm sure that 99% of people will think about either Mexico or Colombia. Well at least they are finally taking action against all this mess, I believe nothing was done under Biden's government?

Quebec should be independent from Canada anyway. So what's the reason for imposing tariffs on Europe though? Because this is clearly not the same level especially if there are countermeasures.

Are you planning on watching different parts of Ultraman though? I think SRW is also full of Super Sentai stuff, but it's interesting as they have been adding some more recent shows I could watch live back then like Granbelm there's even stuff like Darling in the FranXX (which is the worst from this genre in my opinion). Have you seen Full Metal Panic though?
Also Makeine is not bad but I'm not too much into this kind of romcom nowadays, at least this one is trying different settings for the characters' relationship so it's interesting.
Which Paradox games are you playing?

Yeah some parts of Paris are basically what you see in Africa, African markets with food lying on the floor and no food safety obviously, some other parts are just full of drugged people like these videos you see in America but it's not as bad fortunately

Oh okay I see

You mean it's because of some gangs in Canada or it's US ones that establish themselves in Canada because it's easier to do illegal stuff from there? And what do they export anyway except whisky because it's not like most people drink whisky on a daily basis so it wouldn't really matter to the average US citizen.
Yeah I guess Mexico would need a military reform for that but they especially need the budget and you can't easily kill corruption since it's one of their biggest problems too. Salvador is proof that it's possible to fix most of these issues if they make enough effort.

The issue with Girls Band Cry is that I find the story to be way too basic, so in the end no matter how good it can look I think the show is just average, shows like Bocchi the rock proved to me how much the artistic direction can carry a show.

This is basically how Paris is becoming as well and there's probably no turning back at this point, it's just getting worse and worse (applies to the whole Paris' region I would say).

How is Cajun English compared to American English?

Well Canada is forced to do it so if they do it half-assed they know they'll end up having troubles again with the tariff and obviously you don't want to fuck up your economy with the USA especially when you share a border with the country. I understand Mexico's soldiers though, I don't know how they can do it but they need some actual measures against the cartels and erase them from the roots, because as a soldier I wouldn't want to step against them and end up in one of these beheading torture video.

You need to be selective when it's about Tokusatsu anyway and I imagine a lot of the seasons didn't age well, that's why I'm also interested in sentai ones like Kamen Rider and even the anime versions were pretty good (like Fuuto Tantei for example). But yeah when it comes to full CGI shows it's hit or miss, I actually like it but I understand that this kind of animation isn't for everyone lol.

Ah yes it makes sense but you never know sometimes they can be very stubborn. Why is California the worst for that?

Actually Cajun french sounds like a mix of Creole and Quebecois but it's more similar to Quebecois than anything else I would say, I can still understand it when I try to listen to people/interviews from Louisiana but of course it's full of local idioms just like how it is in Quebec, the accent does sound different though, but it's a fun, I didn't expect people to still preserve this culture there.

Yeah, I heard that tariff pressure is also a way for Trump to basically force Mexico or Canada to strengthen their borders since the USA can't do the job alone, I guess. I've also heard that he already suspended the tariff increase for one month to push them to deploy more border guards, and that he'll drop the tariffs if the job is done. I'm not sure if this is exactly how things are planned, but if that's right, it doesn't sound as bad as everyone makes it seem.

Is the 1967 Ultraman series good? I only watched the Netflix recent version and I really like it

Great to be honest, I wanted to go somewhere warm in January so I didn't have much choice and ended up going to Morroco since it's a very popular tourist destination nowadays, the experience there was good since there's a lot to visit (I was in Marrakech) and it's full of palace and gardens, you can also go visiting the desert. The city is very exotic and typical though you need to be cautious since there are a lot of scammers and the road safety is disastrous lol.

Yeah it makes sense, and I would imagine it's probably a mess regarding the laws knowledge when you move to another state or just travel for some time.

So this is what I thought ahah, it's not like there's any real different culture, independentists or anything like that because Canada has Quebec that feels like a totally different country and a lot of people there want it independent obviously we're kinda linked to them and we hear about them in details since it's the only part of America that is speaking french except French Guyana but it's part of the country.

I guess that's also how impressive China's power can be on the populations since you always hear about Mexico or other south America countries but never about China I mean I had no idea that there were Chinese gangs or special force members coming illegally there. I don't know how things will change with Trump though but now it won't be the same regarding the illegal immigrants and all.

Sorry for the late reply I came back from a one week trip and I didn't bother with internet or anime at all during that time I just wanted to enjoy the thing lol

Lmao so prohibition is still a thing I thought it was gone for good, but well alcohol can be a tougher drug than weed when you think about it so it makes sense.

I checked the map and indeed, it's impressive, I guess that's another difference between the West and the East, I was also wondering what's the relationship between mainland USA and Alaska? I mean does it feels like a different country like how Hawai can be I imagine or is it often just forgotten?

Yeah I mean what would be the point of getting even bigger guns when the ones you can legally get are already pretty lethal lol. Gangs really have this much power in the USA compared to how is it in South America? We often hear about shootings but I don't know much about these gangs except for the very famous, almost meme stuff like Bloods vs Crips etc

Lol yeah I'm guessing that you can see the population limit and density mostly through the counties of some states like how Montana can have populated continues and totally empty ones for example. (I'm not really familiar with counties though we don't use that system here)

Okay makes sense, well you can't stop them from consuming alcohol if the parents agree they'll buy it themselves anyway.

But what should they do in this case?

I genuinely thought that guns were cheaper than that just because of the prices they're being illegally sold here, a group used to sell AK-47 for ~500€ in some dangerous area of the city. Though the price doesn't surprise me for the Barrett M82 lol, but AR15 are pretty common and a lot of people bought at least one so I thought it was cheaper.

I hope you had a good Christmas and I wish you a happy new year in advance!

This is kinda how it is in the countryside vs the city here, I don't know if Appalachia has a limited population in all of its states but we have the French counterpart literally called "empty diagonal" and generally people are way nicer and resourceful.

Well technically speaking alcohol is way more dangerous than weed and is perfectly legal, at least in the US they allow you to drink at 21 instead of 18 here, I don't know how strict they are when it comes to selling alcohol to a minor though, here in most cases they don't care, it's just like for cigarettes.

I mean, they obviously do this to ease their conscience about gun regulation and make it seem like they're doing something, even though it doesn't change anything and just makes it even more confusing than it already is. And anyway, if they want a real gun regulation/ban, it's impossible at this point, so what's the point of making minimal changes?
How expensive these guns are though?
