Hello, I'm The CrimsonWanderer, Also known as Adol (previously known as AdolEmelys and AdolZeppeli)

I like to play games (Currently Playing FF VII Reunion, watch anime (duh), series and (sometimes) movies.

I'm usually chill as long as I'm addressed nicely.

I can be found in Backloggd, and Anilist. There you can see my Video Games list, and my alternative anime list (in which I'm more active)

In a world where everyone is angry all the time, be the one that makes the difference.

If you're here because I rated something you liked lower than 4 please consider this:

1- We have different taste, and that's perfectly fine. I have my own takes and you have yours, nothing is written on stone as the absolute truth.
2- I might have watched it with the wrong mindset, I'll decide if I'll give it a second chance at a later date.
3- I might have found it insanely annoying.
4- I don't owe anyone an explanation of why I like or dislike something, but if you ask nicely I can give you a brief summary of my thoughts.

The more you talk about it, the better and better Citlali sounds.

The main issue with AI Generated images I have is that it looks "samey" and in general worse than real art, however it's still fun to make them. The funny thing is though when I see Steam games with AI Generated images I instantly skip them lol.

Yes, really makes you wonder whether they'd earn less or more if they cut their prices, because I can easily see tons of people getting turned off by that price and going to the seven seas variant.

Mira que se pone peor. Sabes, y esto es algo que diré en mis recomendaciones, es una pelicula que la protagonista ha visto decenas de veces; por ende debe saber como serán los trucos utilizados por el malo, el plot twist y traidores de toda esa pelicula y, con todo y a pesar de estar ahí por semanas ya, no dice nada y solo actúa como si no le importase el mundo o ella misma hasta que ya es muy tarde. Cada vez que sale un personaje o enemigo nuevo y ella dice: "o eres tú, apareciste" me arruina el momento y pienso ¿no podías haberlo dicho antes? de hecho, ¿no puedes decirlo todo para así ahorrarte dificultades a futuro? Se que "Zenshuu" se refiere a reescritura, pero eso no es reescribir la historia, es simple arreglarla al ultimo momento con un "Dibuja ex machina", en fin...

Gracias, ya esta apunto. Aunque creo que la publicare el otro miércoles, ya que me faltan 2 series donde aun no he visto los 3 episodios.

Flojísima, no hay nada realmente resaltable excepto quizás: "Hana wa Saku" "Medalist" y "Sakamoto Days". Y ya ni eso estoy seguro. Hay algunos que son "entretenidos", pero solo por las malas razones coff coff "varios Isekais" "mundo de magia y fantasia" coff coff... Quizás otro a destacar seria "Baban Baban Ban Vampire" que juega con un humor que me entretiene bastante y parece que va a tener un desarrollo más a la acción (estilo "Sakamoto Days"); aunque puedo entender que no es para todos. En fin... pésima temporada para empezar el año.

I never disliked Paimon herself, but I won't deny that I didn't like that she was talking instead of the traveler A LOT. Don't know if things have changed since I've stopped playing. To remind you - I've dropped after finishing Inazuma's story and played a tiny bit of that green region, forgot how it was called.

It would be good if true I guess. Unless stuff like escalated war ruins everything. Speaking of "good things", a few days ago I finally forced myself to figure out how AI generation works for images. I wasn't able to make it work on my PC because my GPU is too weak for that apparently, but there is a site that does it for you instead and I've been using it since then. It's actually quite fun and takes a lot of patience to get even a single picture I could be satisfied with. Really makes me wonder what kind of technologies we'll have in 10 years from now. Unless corporations or governments ruin them somehow.

Yeah, it's from Kai no Kiseki. Insane pricing. Also they added 5 costumes to a limited offer, basically either you buy the game with them in the next two weeks or you won't get them at all. It seems like the game has been already cracked. I guess if it works I'll play it and buy NISA's Kuro II instead lol. At least it has JP text without a need for modding and ports are much better (the only thing I can praise NISA for).

I heard that platinum end is quite bad but I don't know a thing about it. But Death Note is a classic, it wouldn't hurt giving it a try anyway. Speaking of Death Note, it's kind of weird that I often find myself rooting for the bad guys in anime and Death Note is one of them.

You lost on Herta banner, but at least you've guaranteed yourself Castorice next time you get 5-star.

One of the problems with settings like HSR is that it's not science fiction, but rather "fantasy in space". You get a lot of scientific terms thrown around, but they're typically not consistent or well thought out, so in the end they are more confusing than they are entertaining. But yeah, the real issue is that HSR worlds are small, forgettable and honestly dull.

Trailblazer is horrible with all those "goofy" options they made for him. They're not funny. Traveler at least feels like an attractive human being, despite not talking much. And hell, Paimon is more charismatic than Trailblazer. Maybe he would've appeared better if I played with JP, but I'll never know; also, as far as I know, many other languages are translated from English, so they probably have terrible subs too.

I don't think anything will change for Falcom and other video-games companies to be honest. It's not like this garbage is being shoved down the players throats only by the higher ups, there are tons of activist types who wormed their way into this industry and you won't be able to get rid of them that easily. Hell, most of casuals probably think that NISAs translations are 10/10 and everyone who complains about this issue is perceived as crazy and pathetic.

btw


I'm not sure about Danmachi, but SAO isn't worth watching in my opinion. Death Note is good overall, but gets anti-good at some point in the story. To Love Ru... I watched one season long ago and still need to finish this series one day.
Shizuna Jan 18, 12:11 AM
Sorry, it didn't occur to me that the post before yours could've been edited, so I jumped the gun with that timing joke. But yeah, I go by the post order (unless there are some late edits which never happened before), so I've added Shampoo under your name.

I saw quite a lot of new Herta fan art in the last few days, so at least I know how she looks. Her boots are nice, I guess, although this weird asymmetrical trend HoYo seem to employ isn't exactly to my liking. Can't say anything else catches my eyes and I have a feeling I wouldn't like her personality much either.

In retrospective, Genshin, at least, has a world that makes some sense - the NPCs aren't exactly interesting, but I can appreciate the scale (even though I'm not a fan of open worlds in general) and the fact that everything (story, lore, characters) is connected in some way. In HSR, while reading about your experience and remembering my own time with it, it feels like a lot of randomly selected concepts, themes, aesthetics and ideas were thrown together and everything is disjoined, although this fact is hidden by overall "abstractness". Also, Traveler > Trailblazer, but that's just my personal opinion and it's possible it could've been negatively influenced by English subtitles in HSR.

I'm 99.99% sure they made up those stupid ducks & pups just to avoid using gendered terms (especially referring to girls as cute - that's just blasphemy according to those cultists), the same reason they "translated" literal Sword Maiden into "Beauty's Blade". The fact that Falcom doesn't care/notice that their games have one of the worst localizations imaginable is the only thing that I don't like about them.

Well, as you can see I'm only now watching some of the Fall stuff, so it'll take quite a while before I give stuff like Ranger a try. This Danmachi season is great.
ArteEstetico Jan 17, 8:41 AM
Ja,ja,ja bien hecho. A lo mejor "Zenshuu" sigue teniendo la buena animación, pero ya no me fio que trama vaya a mejor. Gracias, iré mejorando conforme salgan las series y vea los capítulos, que quiero ver al menos 3 capítulos de cada una para decir algo.

xD. Muchas gracias por tu apoyo.

Es curioso que "Momentary Lily" no este tan mal como las otras series de esta temporada. Además que es el más "único" de todos.
Shizuna Jan 17, 12:54 AM
HI3 had a Greek themed location too (the one where Vita appears), but it wasn't good in any way (I think this was the time I started skipping story bits because of how shallow this one seemed). HoYo seem to be just borrowing certain aesthetics without making an effort to make actually immersive locations. Well, hopefully at least their new characters are going to look hot for those who still play and pull them as well as for fanart potential.

Yeah, man... I haven't played with official localization since CS4, but when I see something like this I still get super annoyed. Why can't these ciliates do their jobs properly? The fact that in MiSide, a Russian game, JP audio and EN text aligned better is crazy. Yes, this game is 20 times shorter, but what NISA does doesn't have anything to do with the length of the script - they first translate JP script and then make up all these absurd ways to butcher dialogues, so if anything they add more work for themselves just to ruin the game. Hell, apparently referring to girls as "cute" is offensive nowadays, gotta make everything gender neutral and stuff.
But yes, I can vouch for MiSide. Very impressive game. Can't guarantee that you're going to like it though especially if you saw clips of it on youtube or other places since I went into it blind.

Hmm, a friend of mine really liked the first episode of Sentai Red Isekai de Boukensha ni Naru and I'm also planning to watch it at some point. Also yes, I'm going to watch Kusuriya S2 too, hopefully it will be just as good as S1. Overall though I feel a little bit burnt out from "mid" anime, e.g. Arifureta has a lot of cute girls (I especially like Shea), but everything else in it is just... Doesn't seem like it's worth my time, so I ended up putting S3 on hold for now. Don't know if I ever pick it up again.
ArteEstetico Jan 15, 10:26 AM
Por cierto, aquí tengo un borrador de mi lista de recomendaciones de esta temporada que espero sacar en una una o dos semanas:

I Want to Escape from Princess Lessons

Saben, siempre he pensado en el concepto de libertad, desde la libertad “positiva o negativa” (Kant, Berlin, etc) o la libertad como una forma de sumisión a axiomas morales (idea principalmente católica), puede llevar a muchas de las interpretaciones de cómo llevar la política (entiéndese “política” está como el encargado de administrar la libertad individual por el fin de la sociedad). Pero al final siempre es lo mismo, la libertad no deja de ser, siguiendo a Spengler, “libre de” para la mayoría de la gente, libre de trabas, responsabilidades, deudas, intelecto y un largo etc. Por ende, al final, no deja de ser una forma de decadencia; entiéndase esta por: “la disminución del egoísmo colectivo y el incremento del egoísmo individual”. No existen trabas para los imperativos del individuo, esa distinción entre “deseo y deber”, “libertad o autonomía”. Es y será una de las más grandes cuestiones del ser humano.
Los imperativos que sigue la protagonista son los mismo, podemos entenderlos más no complacerlo. Tenemos responsabilidades, deberes (con la familia, trabajo, patria, etc.) que, por mucho que queramos, nos obligan a hacer cosas que no queremos.

Headhunted to Another World: From Salaryman to Big Four!




I'm Getting Married to a Girl I Hate in My Class


Aja… nadie ve la tontería de la premisa y argumento en todo esto. Aparte que la mujer solo piensa que se la van a… bueno ya saben.

Zenshuu


Un Isekai, por ahora, genérico de la mano de Mappa. Uno puede alabar su animación que es casi como una película (con la ironía que el isekai es que entra en una película).
Eso sí, todos los protagonistas, especialmente la principal, son insufribles. La mujer es tonta de narices y no parece entender en que rollo se ha metido y solo “ayuda” por razones tontísimas (comida) ¿Qué es esto? ¿Un cartoon? Haciendo un contraste enorme entre la gravedad del conflicto y actitud de la protagonista. No sé si va a ser parodia, desconstrucción o solo otro - Ceteris Paribus – isekai más.

Honey Lemon Soda

Demasiado melodramático en el primer episodio, llorar en medio de una acera porque alguien fue bonito contigo, ¿en serio?

Medaka Kuroiwa is Impervious to My Charms


Imagina la sub-trama de Saiki con Kokomi Teruhasha, que por una extraña razón consiguió un anime completo. Ahora Imagina lo mismo, pero sin Saiki como protagonista y en su lugar tenemos a un “pseudo-beta” que la rechaza porque quiere convertirse en monje. Esto es lo que tienes.

Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective


Imagina Dr. House, pero sin el carisma, cinismo e ironía del primero. Pon, en cambio, a una loli pedante, egocéntrica e inmadura pero que es un genio. El caso que ella resuelva, también, situaciones policiales vuelve aún más insoportable la cosa. Hay que volver tramas así simples, no complicarlas, pero qué así mejore la dinámica de grupo no ignorarla.
Además, y por mera regla de tres, si un loli pedante es la más inteligente de todas ¿No hace ver a los demás como tontos sin remedio y utilidad? Los otros pueden saber, pero ella usa su “Genius” hax donde resuelve todo y deja a los demás como tontos en comparación.
Que también su genio se manifieste usando un recurso audiovisual parecido al de “Jimmy Neutron” es la cereza sobre el pastel.

Bogus Skill <<Fruitmaster>>: About That Time I Became Able to Eat Unlimited Numbers of Skill Fruits (That Kill You)

One piece + Isekai genérico.
Ya solo en primer episodio ya tiene la habilidad “Dios de la espada”. ¿Qué más puedo decir?

Possibly the Greatest Alchemist of All Time


Otro iseaki genérico donde nuestro prota ya tiene todo: el pueblo lo ama, tiene ya sus primeras waifus, se vuelve rico y sucede todo lo que un anime isekai genérico tiene.

Beheneko: The Elf-Girl's Cat is Secretly an S-Ranked Monster!

Vamos a ver: un soldado muere y se convierte en un “Behemoth” – una de las criaturas más poderosas que hay – que por algún “extraño” motivo su primera fase tiene la apariencia de un gato. Entonces mientras va cazando monstruos para ganar nivel se encuentra con un dragón de piedra que le hace trizas, logra escapar y ¡pum! Lo salva una elfa “pechos grandes” (y bastante necesitada de cariño). Entonces, como es lógico, lo confunde con un gato y le va mostrando su “amor” mientras que ella decide convertirse en una gran aventurera con el resto de sus compañeras.

Si no ves nada malo con esto, te recomiendo un psicólogo.

Okitsura: Fell in Love with an Okinawan Girl, but I Just Wish I Know What She's Saying


Buen intento gobierno de Okimawa, pero no voy a caer en tu publicidad.

I'm a Noble on the Brink of Ruin, So I Might as Well Try Mastering Magic


Otro temporada, otro isekai genérico.

I'm Living with an Otaku NEET Kunoichi!?


Mira, si odias tu vida y odias el anime este es el mejor anime para ti. Que lo disfrutes.

Medalist


Me gustan la interacción de los personajes, la animación es “decente” y, por ahora, no sobrecarga la serie con explicaciones sobre patinaje artístico. Es más una serie inspiracional, donde la protagonista quiere esforzarse mucho para ser la mejor. Es decir, lo esperable de un Spokon. Espero no decepcione.


Flower and Asura

La sorpresa de la temporada.
Me gusta como toman algo simple como recitación y lo convierten en una meta alcanzable, más no importante, de la protagonista (que lo ve más como algo que le gusta, aunque es muy buena en eso). Alojandose un poco de lo que sería un spokon.
La dinámica de grupo esta interesante dándose conflictos y química de personaje producto de sus metas personales o personalidades, sin que haya un matiz (claro u oscuro) tan marcado entre los personajes.
Nota aparte, el uso de elementos audiovisuales para reforzar la recitación le da un toque muy bueno a la serie. Y señalar el gran trabajo de las Seiyūs, que conmueve como se adapta a cada situación. Es una serie que, con ese “holismo”, crea algo mejor de lo que sus partes dicen.

The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World

Solo leer el titulo ya deberían estar apareciendo banderas rojas en tu cabeza…


Perdona por los errores que pueda tener, recuerda es un borrador. Espero tener algo mucho mejor de aquí a dos semanas.
ArteEstetico Jan 15, 10:25 AM
Ni que lo digas. Esperaba más de Mappa la verdad, eso si; no niego que la animación es muy buena, pero el resto bueno... Ja,ja,ja vamos a ver que tal, yo solo me vi el primer episodio, vamos a ver que tal son los otros.

Todos los que mencionas son los que más puedo recomendar. Y mira que la mayoría son segunda temporadas o secuelas espirituales.

Ja,ja,ja yo estoy impaciente que puede hacer GoHands. Ahí que admitirlo, crea obra unicas... xD

Esperemos que la otra temporada sea mejor.
Shizuna Jan 14, 9:58 PM
If you do try Rance, the one thing to remember is that it's building up over time (the more games you play the better it gets) and that the gameplay in different games are entirely different.

In other news, I played MiSide yesterday. I didn't expect too much from it - thought that, perhaps, it's just an overhyped meme, but it ended up amazing. It's just ~4 hours long, but damn:
- It's genuinely scary at times.
- You always do something new.
- The game continues to surprise you to the very end.
- The objectives you're given sometimes make you think - but you never get stuck on them for too long.
- The heroine is very charming, which helps you to immerse yourself in the story.
- The contrast between wholesomeness and creepiness is awesome.
- Judging by my own experience, the game is one of a kind.

And one extra note: I've played with English sub and JP audio and English text wasn't cringy at all; even aligned really well with JP voices, despite the fact that the game was made by Russian developers. This is something I've been noticing for quite some time - whether they're developers or localizers like NISA, Americans do the worst English text possible.

btw, I see you've been dropping a lot of anime this season
ArteEstetico Jan 13, 8:22 AM
Vale vale. Aunque estoy usando mi tiempo libre en viendo animes (los de esta temporada, más que nada).

Por cierto, esta es una temporada un poco dura. Eso animes "Isekais" y de "Magia y Fantasía" duelen de ver. Y los otros no es que se queden muy atrás.
Shizuna Jan 10, 5:19 PM
But this sort of writing apparently works, which means HoYo (or other devs for that matter) don't have a reason to improve. Yeah, Anton seems to be beloved by many.

Brave Nine is an international name for the game called Brown Dust, and Brown Dust II was released around a year ago or so. From what I remember, it went into a lewd direction.

Well, I haven't played past Inazuma much so I don't know what's going on there currently in Genshin. Honestly, HoYo gives me "Marvel vibes" at this point which isn't very good in my book. I don't like how they're re-using the same characters "but they're actually different people" and that sort of stuff.

That's a cute Nadia (wonder what you will think about her btw) and funny Gaius.

Yep, a lot of unexpected things happen here. For example, there was an evil researcher who was conducting experiments on humans and when the main party cornered him he injected himself with a syringe and then turned into a powerful-looking humanoid monster
and... Then died. Even though you the player expect to fight him here XD

Or there was a situation where MC's party was outnumbered by a powerful enemy, but since their general liked duels and was very strong, they baited him into dueling, expecting Rance to fight him, but...


This remark was funny too.
I wonder what this dude would say about Shizuna's sword.

Anyway, this series is one of the funniest things ever, even though it's story is put together really well, it has amazing world building etc.
Shizuna Jan 10, 2:14 PM
Yeah, I wasn't very interested in Nina or Momoka.

In comparison, in Kiseki I like talking to every NPC because they have something interesting to say and many have their own lives you can follow by progressing the story, but in something like HSR they feel really dead. No motivation to check what new ones are about when previous 100 were just there to make the world seem less empty.

Brave Nine (one of the gachas I play) actually went offline mode when it eosed. I installed it yesterday and apparently you have all the units and other stuff when you start the game, so you can play the story without any gacha mechanics.

Cryo Tsaritrsa Bronya will probably strong as hell.

Sort of, it's mostly satirical. People who take it too seriously tend to drop it because they get angry with some of the "results" issues give.

Looking at BA's latest releases, they're not going too good overall imo.

Another village saved!..
It's kinda funny comparing Rance to other protagonists who are typically either selfless and good-natured or edgy like Kiritsugu, whereas Rance is just, well, Rance.
ArteEstetico Jan 10, 8:26 AM
Sí, hicieron el titánico esfuerzo de mejorarlo y vaya que lo hicieron...

Quizás le eche un ojo a YS. Aunque ahora me puse a jugar Hades (no lo había jugado) y esta bastante bien.
Shizuna Jan 9, 2:54 PM
Ah, I didn't watch Girls Band Cry past episode one. Design-wise I was interested in Subaru the most though.

Yeah, that Aventurine fight wasn't fun. Tbh speaking from the immersion/aesthetic point of view I didn't like Belobog and Xianzhou either. They're too small, their NPCs are boring to talk to, etc. At least in Genshin those regions are quite big, so there are some memorable places.

I think it would be cool if all gacha when they go EoS released an offline version of themselves without those gacha mechanics. Would be cool to play all the HI3 events without any time constraints, for example. What's up with Cryo, by the way?

Nationstates is a nation simulation game that works from browser. It gives you ~4 new issues, you choose an option how to resolve each one, and you stats/policies change based on it.
Example of an issue:

Example of stats:

Example of policies:

There are also trading cards and various other stuff.

The one I wait the most this season is Watashi no Shiawase na Kekkon 2nd Season. The first season is one of my favorite anime and I hope this one doesn't disappoint and ruin what the first one managed to achieve.

Yeah, I saw that Yuuka and think it's kind of boring. Could be a fun artwork, but as a whole new unit? I'd only pull it if I was a hardcore Yuuka fan.

Some new Rance quotes:
It’s time to ditch the text file.
