Report Hazbyn's Profile

Thank you :)

No problem, I really like your profile~
You have a lot of cool favorites... And I understand the pain, that's why I made some extra ones besides the original ones xD
Although it still seems like little.

Gundam: Orphan Blood, Dungeon Meshi or Shiguang Dailiren, I really love these titles, I had a lot of fun with them.. Especially Gundam.. The amount of tears I shed during this is unimaginable ;w;

I really love Erasd, I love stories about time jumps, the butterfly effect and the like. That's why Tokyo Revengers is also my favorite, although it's not really perfect, but even though the manga is finished I'm still having fun with this series~
And the characters. Yes. The characters there are really nicely done (Takemichi may be quite problematic though :3), but the others really.. For example Draken or Shinichiro (who knows, knows~).
It would be nice if more people were convinced of this, but you know, you can't force anything.

You also have a lot of interesting mangas, based on which I definitely want to watch the anime first, and then... Who knows, maybe I'll buy the mangas. Sometimes I'm afraid to watch certain series because I'm worried that I'll buy more and more titles. I'll soon have no place xD
Jigokuraku I absolutely have to buy it. It was released in my country a long time ago, but I'm really delaying it, and I really liked the anime (the opening is awesome~)

I highly recommend Trigun and Kuroshotsuji, wonderful stories. D.Gray Man too, although the manga has been coming out very slowly for a long time. The author had a lot of problems, a lot of fans from what I remember abandoned the series because of it (at least from my circle).. But I still recommend it~

Once again, thank you very much for accepting my invitation~
And sorry for my English, I mainly use a translator :3''

I understand that fans gunning for their faves, is a part of fan culture, and it’s normal; to an extent. I think for a lot of people they see who they're a fan of or what they like as part of who they are and when it's attacked they take it personally. Also, when we identify as part of a group it's human nature to feel like our group is superior to others and that can lead to people doing and condoning things they wouldn't normally. It happens all the time, not even just in fandom spaces but in the real world.

Like recently a K-pop idol decide to leave his group permanently after finally coming back from a hiatus because their so-called fan hate that he dated before becoming an idol. I can understand him not wanting to deal with people who sent a whopping 1000 funeral wreaths in front of the building. How do you know they're actually not going to try to harm you for real? Like it is fckd up to send a funeral wreath to someone alive and well. I would have taken that as a death threat. This is some crazy behavior.

I'm not a big fan of their groups, but I'm sad for them because the other members will have to perform in front of their Korean fans, who are the reason one that they lost a member. I also blame the company too because they handle this whole thing badly. It gives power to certain fans that should not have that power. Ones that think they are entitled because they decide to throw x amount of money to the group, or ones that are just so damn delusional they need to touch some grass. Who knows what kind of message this will send to the fans of this group in the future and others groups possibly.

Hi ✮⋆˙(˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)
TY for the FR. It's lovely to meet you :)

Yeah it was a huge mess, a show that popular going from an 8.5 overall score in S1 to 5.2 in S2 is embarassing. I haven't actually read the manga but even then it was very apparent just how butchered it was, how things were rushed and glossed over, and they ended it by stuffing like 50 chapters into a literal slideshow with no context. I never want to see that happen to an anime I like ever again lol.
Oh yeah Black Clover had so many banger openings, I still listen to Black Rover and Black Catcher all the time. Would you say the manga is worth getting into or would it be better to wait for the anime to come back?

Keiichiro Saitou (the director) is gonna be a busy man this next few years that's for sure lol. I wonder if he is going to work on Bocchi the Rock S2 first or Frieren S2, or maybe do both at the same time. I'm also looking forward to some more amazing soundtracks by Evan Call after he killed it in S1. Haha yeah it's hard to take MAL rankings too seriously, like Bleach TYBW pt3 is #3 right now and while I think it's been really good, that's wayy too high.
That's true, maybe with the occasional anime it's better to have it be an incomplete adaptation because the source material falls off after the anime but in general, it's always better to see a story be complete even if the ending isn't what you want. Yeah exactly, and it's not just with Netflix but also Disney+, which has its reputation for being a place where anime go to die. I still remember when Summer Time Rendering was coming out and it just never released on Disney+ for some reason until way later, so the only way to watch it was through pirating.
Makeine does a really good job approaching the romance genre while adding its own unique spin to it, providing both a fun and grounded point of view to the topic of how the losing heroines would feel. Also the production values and directing were top-notch. Yeah summer was quite underwhelming we can agree on that, do you think fall has been faring any better?
By manga you're referring to Dandadan right? I started reading the manga a while back and the art was great but I decided to stick with the anime for now since the adaptation looked excellent, but I may get into the manga after the anime is done. Overall I've been enjoying the anime a lot so far, the vibes are super fun and I like its use of vibrant colors.
Orb has to be one of the biggest surprises of the season, it has the potential to be one of the best non-sequels. I swear I didn't see that twist in episode 3 coming, I thought Rafal would be the protagonist all the way and we would see him growing up, but to see his story end like that was shocking but also profound. I'm very interested to see where the story can go from here.

That's a good point you make with the elders, and bringing in other characters into the fight to take them down would be a nice way to give side characters relevance and let them show off their power. Since Luffy will probably be occupied with Imu in the final battle, they will need all the hands they can get for all the other marine forces, just like in Marineford. I already know Garling is going to make a great antagonist, I wonder if he's going to be just as cruel as the other Elders are seeing humans as insects below them; given how be behaved in the God Valley incident, I don't see him being any different from your usual Celestial Dragon.
I'm not against Oda pushing Koby because he's literally been there from chapter 1 and set up to be Luffy's foil, where Luffy would rise in piracy while Koby would rise in the Marines. Still, he needs more screen time from this point onwards to make me more attached to his character. The anime just recently adapted the Honesty Impact chapter and it admittedly has made my opinion of him go up a bit, maybe it's because the animation and voice acting help a lot haha. I think his dynamic with Garp as the future of the marines is something I want to see more, and how all the major forces will react to Garp's capture just like they did with Ace's.
It's so funny to think that Kid only got his backstory through an SBS, so most viewers/readers will never even know what about it lol. It's interesting to think that initially Kid was planned to have a big role while Law was not going to be as important, but now it's completely the other way around and Law is one of the most popular/prominent side characters in the series.
I actually liked the whole Legoland/mural miniarc, it gave off some really nice pretimeskip vibes with the original crew members goofing off and introduced some cool ideas like how Luffy can now use gear 4 on specific body parts and doesn't have to fully transform. At any rate the Elbaf arc has now officially begun (though I guess it's called Elbaph now?) and what a great start, I love Loki's introduction and his character design is fire, one of the best designs Oda has done in a while. Though it seems like he is being set up to the be the main villain right now, I think there's going to be more to Loki than meets the eye. I also loved the big double spread fully unveiling Elbaph, you can tell Oda has been wanting to draw that for ages.

Edit: This new One Piece special just came out and I highly highly recommend watching it, it's directed by one of the most talented directors in the industry right now and an amazing love letter to the series. https://myanimelist.net/anime/60022/One_Piece_Fan_Letter

I had never thought of it that way, but yes. Fictional crimes have a real world effect, but fictional magic and creatures have no effect whatsoever IRL.

Yes, see? This is exactly why I avoid long manga. Short and sweet is my thing. Especially since many writers are forced to publish longer chapters bc of their contracts or bc their editors/publishers force them to due to their work's popularity.

it's been going around here as well, it's the weird season where people are getting sick. ah are you not a fan of syringes or was it too painful?
ah that's good then!

yeah it's much nicer then being in pain haha. yup i think it's the fact that we are in shock that we don't process what has occurred, if you had seen the blood it likely would've hurt more. yeah also it's a life or death situation so i'd imagine the fight or flight response also kicks in too to cancel out the pain. yup those things aren't exactly life threatening which might be why they hurt.
that's great to hear! knee pain really sucks i hear. did you wear a plastic bag over the injury to make sure the water doesn't get into the injury? that's what my father recommended me.
yeah being ambidextrous would've been really cool but you have to like rewire the brain to learn it, it's really difficult to get used to. yup it tires me out haha.

yup it's a great way to knock them down and make them go through all the horrible things that she did. if i had to guess they are going to give the sister a redemption arc considering how much they were focusing on her, but yeah let's see how it goes.

yeah it's best to watch it when you have time. btw i watched dungeon meshi it was incredible! from the world to story and characters it was really well written and fun to watch! can't wait to watch season 2.

yup season 3 what be really interesting to see since there's a bunch of stuff that happens in it, community will have a meltdown as it always does haha! btw oshi no ko is ending soon so i'd recommend not looking up anything about it to avoid spoilers.

ah i see, it's still very strange though haha!

lmao fr it really can be a bitch. Hope you are doing well. watching any good anime at the moment?

i just now saw this omg.
hopefully the year is going well for the both of us :)
my year has been so up and down me last october would not believe everything that's happened lol.
also i just realized a few months ago that your profile pic and username is a reference to hazbyn hotel :0 i completely did not know what that was until maybe february and watched a few episodes this summer.
i still have yet to finish it, but all this time i just thought your username was made up and your pfp was your oc LOL.
well, if you are the creator of hazbyn hotel, hello XD

I AM SO SORRY I TOOK ALMOST A MONTH TO GET TO YOU, I'VE BEEN SUPER BUSY PLEASE FORGIB AAAAAAAAAAA

Not really a dark period, more so just a really embarrassing yet meaningful time period in the sense that it led to the foundation of my personal growth. That was a really scary thing during the pandemic but thankfully you didn't lose anything, I lost my grandfather during then due to natural causes but no need to comment on that haha, we're not here to get sad or sentimental :). It probably isn't but the concept of a teacher being promoted is just really odd in my head for whatever reason bwahaha, it's so alien to me. Indeed, some people can change for the better. Not everyone but some people, and those are the people that deserve a second chance. Anything beyond and you can piss off lol. Oh my goodness, I swear that physics equations are the most insane thing to come out of math and science, especially since I'm taking AP Physics I which is the hardest AP class so it's so over hahaha.

Or you are innately insanely lucky. Some people just have crazy luck when it comes to gambling or gacha game pulling (I for whatever reason do), you know I've never really connected with Pokemon unlike others. I tried getting into the cards as a kid and Pokemon Go when that became popular, but I guess it wasn't for me haha unlike Yugioh and Beyblade. I think that's a core reason for the boycott but at this point, my mind is turning into scrambled eggs whenever it gets brought up hah. I'm pretty sure the bad bunch of gacha gamers is a very very small minority so most gacha players should be okay for the most part, I've interacted with a few in person and they were pretty chill. Nono, not like that, most players just get really angry if they lose the 50/50 (characer pull odds) or 75/25 (signature weapon pull odds). The reason boycotts happen within Genshin specifically is issues in the real world being forced onto the game like misrepresentation of culture or skin color like a lack of black-skinned characters as an example. That is... awful to be honest. I've never understood why people would do that to victims other than a really inflated ego.

I don't know what Arajin needs, clearly punching him doesn't work. Could just be good ol Asian eyes that cause him to not see how that girl doesn't like him but oh well. Takemichi is still a relatively annoying character but at least he changes and grows unlike the bag of slop that is Arajin, gosh his character arc especially near the end was INFURIATING. You could say yeah, it is really loud in the main cities like Ho Chi Minh and Hanoi with all of the traffic and street life. The same also applies to households since parent's will more often than not shout in order to get the attention of their kids lol. Oh living in a loud city is awful, it is noisy constantly and you will not find any quiet time at all. Then again, I'm very sensitive to loud noises so that's just what I think heh.

I just bought the entire set of Chihayafuru so that number is going to jump to nearly 200, since I ended up selling some volumes of JJK and Demon Slayer for quick cash haha. I would love to upgrade my bookshelfs, they're fine but they don't match the room and my main bookshelf is almost full so a replacement is in order. I also have a small room which is an absolute pain to work with, I might have to sacrifice my vent where the cold air comes in for more room and moving my laundry basket too. YES, Ao no Hako has been absolutely incredible so far in regards of adaptation. I am trying my best to avoid my personal bias when it comes to it but regarding the opening, it is by far an incredible opening in terms of visuals, direction, and adaptation. I don't really know how to describe HakoMari in an easy way, it essentially is about the main character and how his mundane everyday life gets destroyed by the introduction of a transfer student. It's really good but goodness is it an experience. I have no idea who Colleen Hoover is lol, books from Tiktok and all of that is something that flies over my head frankly because I do not trust BookTok at all. Regarding your question about a book's writing quality, I would not consider a book (or any story) good even if there is a section of it that is good because even though one part of something may be good, you also have to look at things as a whole and consider the difference between good and bad. It'd be like saying a sandwich tastes good but the quality of the ingredients are awful, yet you only focus on the taste instead of the sandwich as a whole.

Yeah I vividly remember watching it from time to time in my childhood, though I never understood the show and instead watched Spongebob haha. I'm personally a science nerd so the universe and what's out there in space has always been a keen interest of mine, though never the scary stuff and instead the educational stuff. The darkness of space is lonely and it's unforgiving, it's the final frontier for a reason. In the history of humanity, it's only within the last century that progress has been made towards space exploration, and the distance is unforgiving in it's own twisted way. To measure the distance between celestial bodies with light is absurd to comprehend because if it takes light that long to travel from one place to another in space, who knows how long that will be for us humans in the distant future. Very much so, so much has happened on this little green rock in the middle of nowhere and yet in the grand timelime of time itself, it won't matter in the end.

Of course, I'm glad you had a good birthday haha.

No need to feel embarrassed about it haha, it's something we've all done. I think a trait in the best people are those who are very easy to please, because they have an understanding of being grateful for what they are given. I think Michael would be a great boss as well, a little irritable at times but a very sweet man and one that cares for his people. Oh my goodness, the CPR scene for Dwight is my favorite! The unhingeness of him when he had that dummy face on him was absolutely gold, he's like an agent of chaos and I love it. Yeah it was a really good time for ATLA when it become super popular during the quarantine, when everyone was at home and was probably binge watching stuff. That's pretty much the case for Mitsuri, though I think of it as more she felt down or rejected because she wasn't allowed to express who she was and instead was forced to be an "ideal" woman for that era. To be honest, I couldn't care less for the Upper Hands besides Akaza lol.

The start of Giji Harem was fine but after a while, it just became a one-trick pony and stale in its chemistry. It's cute and wholesome yeah, but there isn't anything else besides that, hence why I didn't give it a positive rating in the end. That's fine haha, those are correct themes regarding all three of the leads, it's just my personal issue with Senpai wa Otokonoko was how it expressed these themes and how it had a very bad tendency to make it overdramatic and dragged on. Please may it never receive a Second Season, I'll dunk my head into a fish pond if it does.

That's pretty much it, nothing was explored in a meaningful manner and whatever was explored was simply pushed to the side for the sake of having the plot move forward instead of having it come naturally. It just brought it up than threw it away and moved on. Haha, I hope to hear your thoughts on the movie! I just don't get it with Tasogare Out Focus, I swear across all of the BL I've seen, having lazy commentary and confusing depth of relationships is a common trope that I keep seeing. It's like watching a movie right after another, you don't get time to process the previous relationship and another is thrown and shoved down into your skull, that's my issue with Tasogare Out Focus. Shy just fell off, I'm so sorry but it did. It had potential in the first season than the second season came along and broke down all of that with how it dragged on the conflict for SOOOO LOOONG. The villians still were the same lame villians from the previous season and they are obviously not that dangerous lol because stakes just don't exist in the second season.

Thank you and you as well, I hope you've been having a good October AND AGAIN I AM SO SORRY FOR TAKING THIS LONG

We had Summer Schedule in here in Brazil,government is wanting to bring it back since it helps to save energy,it doesn't really affect my region since I don't live close to Rio or São Paulo but it kinda confuses me lol cause the phone clock adopts the measure so sometimes I think I'm late when 1 hour is advanced.I get scared and then I remember it's summer schedule again xD

It was a great fight,All Might should have died there it would bring the same emotion when Jiraya or Ace died :') I'm going to watch the new movie with a friend in the friday hope it will be fun,but I think the evil clone of All Might idea a bit wierd.

I need to continue Sket Dance but I'm still hyping on Gintama so it will take some time. I would really like to know the story of the first weeks of One Piece,was it the real top 1 since chapter one? Or it had started its kingdom when Arlong Park was being made? Would love a documentary about it.

Sorry for late reply, I really love Slam Dunk, another basketball anime other than Kuroko no Basket that I really enjoy :), that's why I give it 9.

I don’t follow Kesha too closely, so this version of "TikTok," honestly, I think Kesha's songs are really fun and danceable. I love them to liven up events, like "Die Young," for example. But overall, I’m not a big fan of the messages in her songs; they sound a lot like something a teenage girl would listen to to show off how party-loving she is. Anyway, I don’t think she’ll ever be the Queen Bee again in the future. Even if the character comes back, Kesha couldn’t sing due to copyright issues, and they had to cast another singer for the musical performances. Kesha has charisma, but it’s clear she’s not used to voice acting. So even though Kesha wrote "Monster's Ball" and "Cotton Candy," the character should be completely entrusted to Rochelle Diamante.
The first episodes of "Helluva Boss" are pretty short, around 15 minutes, so it shouldn’t take up too much of your time. But that was just a suggestion—watch the shows when you feel more comfortable.
Yeah, I watched the Uta movie because the voice actress is the singer Ado, and because its melodies were officially translated into Portuguese. The movie works independently, so if you know the Straw Hat crew, you won’t feel out of place. The songs are good, but the movie overall is pretty average. Vivianne has already confirmed that Lilith’s story is so big that it’ll take two seasons to tell everything. Lilith's power is perfect for a musical, but there’s no room for mistakes; they need to cast the best singer possible to portray her.
Vivianne has also confirmed that "HH" will have as many seasons as possible, but the truce between heaven and hell should happen as early as the second season, since the population in heaven didn’t know about the extermination, and many in the high council of heaven were willing to discuss whether the souls of hell could go to heaven. Like I mentioned in the leak I read, coming straight from the actress Emily’s TikTok, who posted a blurred photo of the script to announce the start of filming, and it was later “translated” by a TikTok channel. Emily is in hell alongside Charlie trying to convince the souls there that redemption is possible. Lucifer was in a meeting in heaven, but the sinners seem to be under Vox's hypnosis, so I easily believe this truce will happen faster than you think.

The room hacks you're referring to are called Pokémon Naranja and Pokémon Light Platinum, two games well-known in the fandom. I really enjoyed playing Pokémon Light Platinum in the past due to the variety of Pokémon that could be added to our teams. It was possible to obtain all Pokémon that evolve through trade by talking to NPCs, and you could also get the three starters by talking to the professors, although this has been lost in new updates, and now it's only possible to get one starter from each generation. The HM you mentioned is called Lava Surf.
Now that I have a better phone, I'm able to progress comfortably through Soul Silver, and I've been using Bellossom and Nidoqueen, which evolve through trade, but then I swapped Nidoqueen for Rhydon. I haven't even finished Black and White 1, so I don't know anything about the second game except that it is a direct continuation of the first and that its third game was canceled because people didn't connect with the games at the time. I only remember some details of Sun and Moon, but I don’t think I saw the end of the game.
Not necessarily, I think what characterizes a post-game is the conclusion of the main narrative line and the fact that we have smaller things to do in the post-game. This doesn’t happen in the second generation because we continue to seek badges and go after legendary Pokémon like Suicune and Ho-Oh/Lugia; this only ends when we defeat Red at the top of Mt. Silver. I agree about FR/LG because it's a side quest, and many treat the end of the game as defeating the rival in the Elite Four, which doesn't happen in the second generation.
To evolve Feebas, we need to turn the berries into PokeBlocks, which involves a rather annoying minigame about timing, and we spend hours making PokeBlocks. The best berry to evolve Feebas can only be obtained after defeating the Elite Four in the post-game, and even then we depend on RNG to get that berry. It may not necessarily be difficult, but it is a hassle to evolve it. The only reason to avoid putting Whirlpool on my water Pokémon is that we actually only use this HM once or twice; it doesn’t make sense to have a weak move that can't be forgotten when it's only used a couple of times, just like Flash.
Honchcrow is an excellent flying Pokémon, but we have other Pokémon of the same type with equally original combinations, like Corviknight, for example. Mismagius comes as a breath of fresh air, with Gengar and Dusclops being basically the only interesting ghost-type Pokémon for almost four generations. Then the fourth generation brings incredible evolutions for many Pokémon that were already considered good and others that were begging for an upgrade, and we got Mismagius and Dusknoir—two excellent ghost-type Pokémon. But what really makes Mismagius my favorite ghost-type Pokémon is that she's a little witch! How can you not love that?
I hate the fact that we have to complete minigames to get evolutionary stones. I’ve hated it since the old days. I’d rather spend all my money on TMs and Pokémon that could only be obtained in the game corner than waste my time on those minigames. So, Pokethlon is simply my natural enemy throughout the game. I’d prefer to not use Mismagius or Honchcrow than to spend time in those minigames. I’m only using Bellossom and Nidoqueen because it’s easy to get the Sun Stone and the Moon Stone; otherwise, they wouldn’t even be in my team.
Is it possible to catch wild Kingdra in B/W? It sounds like that rumor about Steelix in SS/HG. If it is possible, maybe GameFreak is realizing they wasted good Pokémon by restricting them to trade evolutions. Either way, we could never use it in its native generation.
MIB (Men In Black) the movie franchise, did you not know them? For Pokémon games, I used guides to help me; the only games that required me to read some texts were the Harvest Moon franchise, because if we chose the wrong option, we lost all the affection we developed with the characters. Since there are no HM games in Portuguese, I had to manually type the texts into Google Translate to understand what they were saying. Anyway, just stories from a child of the 2000s.
Of the three I mentioned, Data Squad was the least good. It had good ideas but was afraid of being too mature like Tamers or too juvenile like Frontier, so it was a title that didn’t quite know its place in the world. Still, it's a valid experience for those who like Digimon, even if it’s unable to reach its maximum potential. Honestly, my biggest attraction to the main Digimon franchise is the Adventure Tri movies, which for some reason seem very tempting to me. However, I don’t have the energy to watch the original series just to jump straight into the movies. If they had retold the story like Evangelion did, it would have been easier, but I believe the idea was not to retell the story but to continue from where it left off. So I understand and appreciate the idea. The passing of the torch has always been an excellent concept; even though we’ve become attached to the characters, getting to know new types of characters and different proposals has always been exciting. Some casts were worse than others, but that’s part of the process of trying different things.
Yeah, I understand that different places have different mythologies, but my point is that some regions are unnecessarily broken. What's the point of catching literal God in the games? Isn't it a bit too much? I know we still have a few trios in Pokémon, but I don't think it's interesting to be able to catch the avatars of time and space, for example. Do you know what I mean?

About 'Shingeki' being an analogy to the Holocaust, honestly, this isn't a very deep layer in the work; even casual readers can notice this. Isayama said that the main messages were about the cycle of hatred and the reality of war. 'SnK' is a historical revisit of several events in humanity, and just looking at the situation of the characters and how they are portrayed in the story shows that it’s an analogy to the Holocaust, with Eldians having their people trapped within walls like concentration camps. The Eldians residing in Marley lived separated from the Marleyans by a wall, like the Berlin Wall. When Eldians leave their homes, they have to wear an armband representing their nationality, just like Jews did, and the fact that they are treated as demons simply for coming from a different origin or the first episode of the season 4 that represents the conquest of Fort Slava, being an analogy to the Battle of Stalingrad. I don’t want to be offensive, but it seems so obvious to me that I'm a bit surprised it wasn’t picked up right away. I mean, just add a mustache to this character, who is a Marleyan general, and tell me who he resembles.

Okay, let's go. The simpler design at the beginning is something that happens with many authors; however, when I said the characters were similar, I wasn't referring to the start of the manga but rather the end. I'm not even getting into the issue of proportions that Shingeki has always had, but the time of day being unrecognizable, the backgrounds being poorly drawn, and the characters being too similar are not problems from the beginning. Regarding the characters' hobbies, I used some examples of how a character can be more profound in their writing; basically, characters improve with the addition of details. To make it easier to understand, I'll use Levi as an example. Besides being a super skilled soldier with a standout personality, there were details that enriched him as a character, like his obsession with cleanliness or the way he held the teacup to drink tea, and his relationship with Petra. When these details are added, we get a character with a deeper layer. This doesn’t happen with other characters, or when it does, it’s not shown on screen until it’s necessary to force a bond with the character, like Berthold’s sleeping positions, which suddenly become a fact out of nowhere. Meanwhile, Levi's quirks have always been part of his character. I didn’t mean literally for them to be fishermen, scholars, or have detailed rooms, but I was referring to the lack of attributes for the characters, without being portrayed in a caricatured way like Sasha.
Reiner is regarded as one of the best characters in the story due to the exploration of his psychology. I actually find him to be an effective character; however, there were countless times he should have died, and the plot did everything it could, and even things it shouldn’t have, to keep him alive. He’s a good character, but at what cost? Annie joining the Survey Corps out of the blue is undeniably poor writing. This happened because of Isayama's rush to finish the story, and even if he wanted to make Annie's change a topic of discussion in the work, he couldn’t just pause the narrative to elaborate on it. That doesn’t change the fact that it’s a mistake. Levi may have been strong, but it doesn’t change the fact that he was EXPLODED or ALMOST EATEN BY A TITAN with jaws, and he simply carried on as if nothing had happened, only temporarily incapacitated. He was strong, but he was still human. Gabi was one of the best characters in the story; Isayama excelled in her development. However, like Reiner, she is a character whose narrative weakened to keep her alive.
SnK has many retcons of this kind. I still remember that at some point in the first two episodes, the Armored Titan appears simply breathing fire, or the blue crystallization of the Female Titan, which should have been exclusive to her but became a characteristic of other Titans.
SnK is famous for not utilizing its characters well, especially the Titan Shifters who are simply discarded like Frieda and Lara Tybur, characters that seemed to have great potential but were thrown away as soon as they appeared. Even with more screen time, Bertholdt, Galliard, Marcel (who was seen as the leader of the Titans from Marley), and even Zeke, Falco, and Pieck were not utilized to their full potential. When I refer to Ymir, I will always be referring to the Jaw Titan; the other character with the same name can hardly be considered a character per se. I mean, we only have 9 original Titans, and even though some characters die to make way for others, it doesn't justify making these characters so dependent on their Titans to be memorable. I argue that characters don’t necessarily need to be three-dimensional; they can have more pronounced traits to amplify the message, like in Fate/Zero, for example. However, the poor utilization of the characters in Shingeki is indefensible, and I’m only talking about the Shifters without even delving into the 'human' core of the series, like Sasha, Connie, and Jean.
The origin of the Titans is not ambiguous; they came from that creature at the bottom of the well. When I say it lacks details, I refer to the civilization of that time. We're talking about one of the biggest revelations of the series, and we only have thalf episod for it. There’s not much context. Within the series, we have Eren's father's past, which took two complete episodes to be told, while the origin of the Titans and the rise and fall of the Paradis Empire were simply rushed through in half an episode, if I'm not mistaken. The great Titan war, where Marley obtained a monopoly on the original Titans... that didn't happen; we didn't see any of that... nothing.
Regarding Isayama's stance on Eren's popularity: https://criticalhits.com.br/anime/o-criador-de-attack-on-titan-revela-que-nao-achava-que-este-personagem-seria-tao-popular/#google_vignette.
As for Isayama admiring Japanese generals from WWII, there’s nothing concrete, but when searching for a link that led to the discussion, I found that this was indeed a topic present on the internet, about SnK being Nazi propaganda. Many point this out as a falsehood, while others treat it as a fact based on some elements present in the work.
I hadn’t even noticed that tattoo; now that you mentioned it, I remember it was strange for them to remove that detail. If you enjoyed the seasons, then that's what matters. Shingeki was a series that quickly went off the rails; the second part of the third season was basically a sequence of filler and cliffhangers to stretch the season to 10 episodes, when they could have easily told that arc in 5 or 6 episodes. I think I've pointed out many flaws of Shingeki in previous messages and especially in this one. If you still like it, that’s what matters. I personally don't hate Shingeki; it was my favorite anime for about 2 or 3 years, and the second season threw me down the rabbit hole of anime, but nowadays I see how flawed the series was.

Even if a story is acclaimed in comics, it's practically impossible for an adaptation to match that level or be equally praised, due to the differences in narrative formats and the way the story is told. It's much easier to not be bothered by a green guy in the Teen Titans comics than in a live-action series. The narrative rhythm is also different, and many powers, like Beast Boy's, are very complicated to adapt for live action, just like the powers of the Green Lanterns or Ms. Marvel, where the only way to avoid looking silly or excessively expensive is to adapt the power, which leads to poor reception from the audience. Even if this doesn't happen, the craze for comic book movies seems to be fading, and I couldn't be happier about it. Without comic book movies occupying cinema screens all year, we can see a wider variety of films with different proposals and ambitions, and even some franchises emerging. I don't hate comic book movies, but I think this craze has lasted long enough, and now the box office is declining, except for rare exceptions. I believe one movie a year, like this year, is more than enough.
"Quicksilver: No Surrender" is a solo story about Quicksilver. When Scarlet Witch discovers that his speed is limited by mental blocks caused by trauma, rather than a physical impossibility, she removes these limitations. This allows Quicksilver to become so fast that the entire universe seems to be standing still around him. The story follows Quicksilver learning to handle his new powers while facing a mysterious creature that possesses the same speed as he does.
Yeah, I've been on your shoes before, i got really burned out with anime and took me like, 6 months or 1 year to come back to anime.

Wow, so you really liked Kaiju n8 characters, it's the first time i see someone adding one of these characters on the favorites, but i can see why, it's a very new anime, so people are getting to know the characters.


They are content creators of various types, such as artists, singers, gamers, and some occasionally talk about anime, but it’s not that common. Honestly, I don’t like Hololive that much; the type of humor doesn’t really appeal to me, and some VTubers base their content mostly on how hot they are, with exaggerated models and excessive double entendres. Of course, not all are like this, but the Indonesian branch seems like a breath of fresh air. However, most of the EN and JP VTubers are about exaggerated proportions and questionable conversations, which is why I prefer Holostars. They give off a much stronger feeling of just being a group of friends trying to have a good time together, with a vibe that feels less megalomaniacal and, I would say, the pace is more pleasant.
Regarding languages, there are two main branches of Holostars: the Japanese and the English ones, but many of them are capable of speaking more than one language, so you can find a wide range of languages.
About the toxicity of the Hololive fanbase, this might sound totally crazy, but keep in mind that Hololive/Holostars is an idol agency, so you can think of everything you know about the toxic side of idol agencies and content creators in Japan. Every fandom has a toxic segment, and the VTuber community is no exception. From the fanbase to some agencies that are considered quite problematic, the VTuber market is largely sexist. Speaking specifically about Hololive, this situation goes to another level with "idol culture." Fans are extremely toxic regarding which content creators the girls collaborate with; the less contact with men, the better for them. They simply ignore Holostars just because they are men, with comments like "who really cares about male VTubers?" or "it’s just a lack of talent." The biggest Holostars VTuber has around 300k subscribers, while the biggest Hololive VTuber has about 4 or 5 million, which highlights the stark difference between them.
I still remember the first Holostars talking about the massive wave of hate they received at the beginning and how they were contractually unable to collaborate with Hololive. These comments and the disparity in channel sizes are still a reality today, and the only reason for this is because they are men. I even remember reporting a YouTube channel that dedicated itself to making clips of Holostars just to take them out of context and make them look ridiculous or as if they were hitting on the girls, just to fuel the hate towards them.
I don’t want to tell anyone what kind of content they should watch or who the girls should collaborate with, but this is clearly not a healthy fanbase. The Holostars fanbase also complains occasionally when they collaborate with girls. Nowadays, there’s a segment of the audience that encourages collaboration between them, and when it happens, some girls have very good relationships with the boys. Both fanbases interact with each other, but this is still rare. This isn’t just the case for Holostars; it’s common for girls to be stalked or pressured to quit just for having romantic relationships. Because of this type of behavior, I distanced myself from Hololive a few years ago and focused only on Holostars and other agencies; I don’t want to see a collective witch hunt on the internet.
So true, it's difficult to balance the costs of this type of project with the realities of life. For the beginning, I want a boom microphone, a reasonably good computer, and a subscription to a service like Xbox Game Pass or PS Plus to access a variety of games without putting too much strain on my computer. The question of how to promote the channel is something that weighs on my mind from time to time, especially since Twitter was banned in Brazil, and I don’t feel confident using Instagram as a promotional tool. My initial intention was to use MyAnimeList to share the channel link, just as I’m doing to promote ongoing projects. My goal has never been to reach a million followers; I think having between 500 and 1,000 followers would be enough for me. I don’t like small streamer promotion groups because they don’t really help; people just want to promote themselves rather than genuinely help each other grow. It’s not wrong, but it doesn’t suit me at the moment. Since I’m not launching right now, I’ll wait until everything is sufficiently good for me.
Yes, I’m in a band called Crimson Horizon. We’re doing it more as a hobby, but we’re writing some songs and plan to record them in December/January, then release one a month. Regarding promotion, adding my singing and guitar teachers together, they have an average of about 22k followers on Instagram. I intend to ask them to promote our channel when we launch it. In November, we plan to perform live with one of our songs. I’m not the best singer in the world, but I’ll try! Haha. About covers, I have my solo project called GeekJam, where I’ll mainly do guitar covers. I’ll launch it once I have a larger repertoire of complex songs. I’m not interested in playing something like "Master of Puppets"; I want to focus more on J-rock and J-pop, but those songs are pretty fast and require progressive training. As for the band, the idea is to stay in the rock genre and also do geek songs. Personally, I really like Tom Petty’s style, but since I’m not writing the songs, I’ll have to wait and see what comes out when we add electric instruments instead of just the acoustic version.
I really didn’t remember "Summer Ghost" when writing this synopsis, especially since I’m writing a summary based on a story I already know the direction of. I chose to avoid as many details as possible. Regarding the Arthurian legends, they’re initially tied to the characters’ names and a slight background, like a character named Morgana who, like in the legend, is a witch, or the red-haired woman named Elaine, the Lady of the Lake, who falls in love with Lancelot and gives birth to Galahad, she is also base on a local myth called ‘’ The Tarn Hows Ghost’’, which is basically a story about a spirit of a woman that appear on Lake District in nights of full Moon. The cast isn’t complete yet, but one of the characters that would be equivalent to the antagonist in the book is more associated with the fear surrounding Ed and Elaine’s relationship rather than being a true villain. The goal is to discuss nature and more ethereal and fairy-like factors, so there’s no need for a truly active antagonist force in the story.
"Ghost Whisperer"? I had never heard of that series. Being a mystery, the synopsis tends to be less revealing and can sometimes sound generic, but I assure you that the spiritual part of the story is well-structured and follows a branch much more akin to stories by Nasu, like "Fate/Heaven's Feel," for example. Regarding coming to terms with your past, I mean accepting trauma to move forward. In the story, Selena deals with the grief of her childhood friend’s suicide and has to learn to cope with it to start a new phase in her life. Both stories function independently; "The Moonlight Dancer," set in the UK, is a book inspired by Arthurian and regional legends, while "The Blue Moon" is a novel set in Japan, inspired by Japanese authors. Perhaps the stories exist in the same universe, but if that happens, it will just be a brief Easter egg and won’t directly influence the plot. "The Moonlight Dancer" does not have a perspective for a continuation, while "The Blue Moon" has an idea of how the story would continue.
"The Moonlight Dancer" doesn’t have any chapters written yet; I’ll write it sometime after I finish at least half of "The Blue Moon" or when I finish the story. "The Blue Moon" has 3 chapters so far, with about 20 to 30 pages per chapter, each volume containing 5 chapters. "The Blue Moon" has a brief paragraph discussing depression before the first chapter; I’m not sure if that will happen in "The Moonlight Dancer," but since I already have the ending in mind, the ending serves as an epilogue for the story. I wouldn't necessarily say it's a creative block, especially since I still have the narrative lines clear in my mind. However, it also involves the fact that I have many projects happening simultaneously, along with my IRL work, the animes and games I'm currently following, those moments when I have to take care of household chores, and some time for rest. I feel like my day would need to have 30 hours to give attention to all the projects, haha. Also, I have a tendon in my left arm that tends to inflame if I use my fingers too much, like when playing guitar or writing, which makes it impossible for me to write for long periods. I still remember that when I finished chapter two of The Blue Moon, I needed to rest my arm in cold water for three days.
I made the covers for 3 of the 4 volumes of "The Blue Moon." I chose the cover for the second volume because it has characters on it, while the first volume has a landscape. Yes, I created the covers using artificial intelligence and fonts from Canva. Since the budget is low and this isn’t a professional project, I’ll leave it as it is for now. If it happens to become something professional, I’ll work with real artists, but these covers already serve as a general idea to help artists in the future.

Wow, this was a huge comment and a bit polemic too, i tried to tie as much as could but since it's so much information i might have left some stuff behind, sorry if i was rude in any moment.

Kaguya's anime has adapted 151 chapters, the manga has a total of 281, so roughly a little over half of the manga has been adapted.
Though, there's some stuff that did get cut out too.

Hrmm...
so far aside from a few things being shifted around I haven't noticed any big differences so far, but I also watched the anime a loooooooooong time ago and don't really remember it too well aside from specific key moments.
That's something I have noticed A LOT while reading. xD

Well, I know WHY they are produced, I just think it's completely unneccessary...

Have any plans for the Fall Season or checked some out already?
So far I'm watching:

Rurouni Kenshin remake S2 - I didn't really like season 1 (the premier has also done nothing to change that so far) and I'm just watching cuz I trust in my friend who recommended this because of the antagonist in this arc...
365 Days to the Wedding - romance anime about two people getting into a pretend marriage because of certain circumstances in their jobs. The setup is similar to a manga I've read recently ("Hokuou Kizoku") but so far it was kinda boring
Mahoutsukai ni Narenakatta - seems like a less polished version of Little Witch Academia but I really like the artstyle and vibe of the show so far.
Blue Box - a very promising romance manga with a sports backdrop and REALLY good visuals. I just need to get used to the main male character, cuz so far I don't like him very much...
Dan Da Dan - the way this showcases its wacky character dynamics with INSANE visuals reminds me of Heavenly Delusion last year, though I'm holding out on fully judging it until it's finished
ReZero S3 - while I think a 90 minute premiere is kinda a liiiiiiittle bit too long, this pulled me back right into the world of the show and still managed to be overall a fantastic experience so far. Really digging the new antagonist already too
Now I only need to wait for Link Click S3 to finally release.

I'm very late, but thank you so much for the birthday wishes! It was a pretty normal day, but a good day nonetheless :>
