Akira Durarara About my ratings: Each review is a review bit itself, a review is a person opinion after all. I dont rate stuff to be a critic, I rate them, to differentiate the ones I liked the most (though the more I see/read the more "critic" I became, so my current scores are adapt to change). For that purpose I find MAL scoring very limited. Comparing 2 anime, for example some of my 10's, while I fully enjoyed FMA B, and see it has a absolutly 10, other anime like Code Geass or TTGL had a bigger impact on me, even more memorable, may I, IMO say. So while the 3 are all 10's, the last two, "are better 10's", for this purpose I decided to rate with the use of decimal points (i.e. 8.0, 8.1, 9.7, 9.8, etc). Everything 9.0 or above, I would reccomend as a much watch. Enjoyment is relative, most of the times in my case, the result of all other categories, determinates my enjoyment score, but sometimes, external factors to the anime qualities, influence my enjoyment. An example would be with the adaptation of anime/manga/LN/VN. You had experienced the original work, you see the adaptation, poorly made, nothing special on almost any category, most people may scorn it, call it a "worst moments of my life"( or something less dramatic), but because you other feedback, history with the series, maybe it was more special to you. Not the case for everyone, but I had some of these myself. Before I get to the core of it. While I always enjoyed anime & manga alot or reading books or LN's, I always though video games were the best way to experience story-telling, much due to their immersion, that for me not even in a book came as close, as classics of story-telling like Bioshock Infinite or The Last of Us achieved, but I changed my opinion, since I finished my first Visual Novel. I came to regard Visual Novels, as the ultimate level of story-telling, while the gameplay is more limited than off video games (for the most part of the VNs), it achieves the level of character development presented in great books, adds great OST, CG art, backgrounds, srites, voice acting and with its length that far exceeds most books or story-driving video games, it pays off big. It may not be so "easy" to experienciate at the beggining, not so easy to get into, Vs a anime or a game, but in the long term the immersion that cames out of a visual novel, it far overshadows any others media's. Longer version 10(9,5-10,0): A masterpiece. Perfection is a unobtainable goal, like the infinitum, each time one step closer, always one grasp far apart. Anime that reach this point, transcend time and becames a cult classic. Those who achieve this echelon, are truly remarkable experiences, they moved and inspired you, left a mark so deep, and became a part of what you are, of your soul! These memories, moments and teachings, these everlasting experiences, not even time will overcome. 9(8,5-9,4): Great anime. Maybe you didnt enjoyed right away, but it came to be a hidden gem and with time, you came to love it, despite some flaws. Either way, in the end, the time you invested felt extremely rewarded. You will look back, and as you remenber what made it so great to you, you will smile. 8(7,5-8,4): Very good. It had its comes and goes, but you still were engaged and absorbed by the experience, the flaws were forgettable for the most part. Conclusion, despite not being breathtaking, you deeply enjoyed your sweet time with the anime. It may go as far as being memorable. 7(6.5-7.4): Good. Perhaps it failed to live up to your expectations, but the flaws weren't that bad. While they are there, the rest was decent enough, worthy of your time. Definitly kills boredom. You may even remenber bits of it later on, it at least made a impression on you, a good one. 6(5.5-6.4): Fine. While there were major flaws in play, in the end you still came to enjoy the overall experience, it was not a waste of time. But it wasnt like you were delighted everytime you though about watching it. 5(4.5-5.4): Your Average anime. The potential it had to be an enjoyable experience, was mostly ruined by the numerous amount of flaws presented. If you are bored, this won't improve it much, but it is better than doing nothing, you may find something more wortwhile than expected, you MAY... 4(3.5-4.4): Bad. Honestly, you may have at a point in time, by a second or two, came to not dislike something about it, but that is it, a trainwreck is still a trainwreck... more productive experiences await you, finish it if you are that hardcore. If you ever remenber theses times, it was because how bad they were. 3(2.5-3.4): Very Bad, stay away from it with all your might, it stinks, it sucks, you have to be mentally tough to complete it. If only you had wasted your time being bored, it would be a better experience itself. 2(1.5-2.4): Horrible!! WTF were they thinking, were they high or on drugs?! If you drop it, or forget this existed, no one will blame you, even if you are one of not dropping, your sanity is in first place, be good to yourself, avoid! Or suffer. 1(1.4-1.0): Appalling, dreadful, if you want to kill your brain, it is cheaper and maybe less troublesome than a lobotomy. In that case, go on, you have my blessing. RIP. My favorite list at the left is like a "most recent favs" (so these may not always represent my all time favs, these are easily seen on my anime list), I may also regularly change the entries depending of my mood. Re-watchs also apply. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Random stuff: Anime/Manga/VN/LN Milestones: Anime -1st: Zero no Tsukaima -2nd: Toradora -200th: Kill la Kill -250th: The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya -300th: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai -350th: Seitokai Yakuindomo (24/02/16) -400th: Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (24/04/16) -450th: Mai-Hime (05/07/16) -500th: Kyoukai no Kanata - I'll Be Here - Mirai-hen (23/12/16) -550th: Gakusen Toshi Asterisk (01/12/17) -600th: Alderamin on the Sky (03/08/18) Manga/LN -1st: Naruto -2nd: Nisekoi (-1st LN: Zero no Tsukaima) VN -1st: Little Busters -2nd: Rewrite -3rd: Muv-Luv Series (ML + MLA) -4th: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni -5th: Ace Attorney -6th: Higurashi no Naku Koro ni Kai -7th: Fate/StayNight -8th: Umineko 1-4 -9th: Sharin no Kuni -10th: Ever17 -The Out of Infinity- -11th: ZE: 999 -12th: ZE: Virtue's Last Reward -13th: Danganronpa 1 -14th: Chrono Clock -15th: Danganronpa 2 -16th: I Walk Among Zombies I -17th: Steins;Gate 0 Selfmade NGE OST montage.

As such, Rewrite is a very special one for me! Played order(The reflections are not mine, they summarize well the point of each route, so I decided to include them to! I will also give my opinions about the routes, here in the future): 1- Common Route Completed; 8,5/10 30+ hours of slice-of-life, great comedy, some mystery and action, a great way to start the VN, the first steps on plot development. 2- Kotori's Route Completed; 8/10 Some great moments, thought the lack of romance was a minus for, sets the mood for the story of other routes nicely, and there is always Harvest Fiesta... 3- Chihaya's Route Completed; 8,5/10 Totally in a different vibe, lots of actions, average villains, story is long and gets kinda dragged on, but Sakuya saves the day, and gives some value lessons to our hero. 4- Shizuru's Route Completed; 8/10 Probably the lolis favorite route, not being one, I still enjoyed it alot, strangely Shizuru x Kotarou works!! Yea, it had some lovely lightheart scenes, but that ending steals the carpet from the floor, makes you fall hard on the ground, wondering of there is any hope left, and then, it leaves it for yourself to interpret the ending... 5- Lucia's Route Completed; 10/10 The only 10 I gave, why?? Not spoiling anything(see hers story belows if you want heavy spoilers), from the ending of the common route, the viewer starts to see Lucia's reactions at a different light, what is going on... what was going on was that you get some of the best character development I have seen a tsundere have, plus her romance with Kotarou feels natural and fresh, AND both these scenes and the most tragic ones, are SUPERB, thanks to how Ryukishi07 wrote her story, seriously if Rewrite had this kind of quality along the other routes... just ignore Kotarou stupidness by the end, and you just at least greatly enjoy this route, makes me want to play a fan disc/side story only of hers!! [http://kakeracomplex.wordpress.com/2013/01/31/rewrite-lucia-route-reflection/][http://theotakuspot.animeblogger.net/2013/03/12/rewrite-lucia-spicy-demon-of-justice/] For me this route is just full of great moments, the best of Rewrite! more coming soon 6- Akane's Route Completed; 9/10 My fav of common route, sadly dont expect the always unique kinda of excentric Akane here... there is much more dark mature stuff, politics, and the romance happens moslty off-screen, which pissed me off greatly!! The route is even longer than Chihaya's and can even test some's patience, also lacks CG for all that length, still for what it was, I loved it. More gore and killing, a different Kotarou, in a way more mature?!... If you like Akane you will probably love this, but expect a different, more mature and dark one. This sets the mood nicely to the true route, Terra's, that is even darker... 7- Moon's Route Completed; 9/10 The culmination of everything you learned, for this purpose, and this purpose only, the first half is also different from everything else you read on Rewrite, it the latter half is full of epic scenes and struggles!! 8- Terra's Route Completed; 9/10 People that play Rewrite, that get fooled by the common's route... fear this!! At first I hated it with all my guts, later on I was impressed, the direction it take wasnt for my taste at all, the writter had courage... but it managed to deliver the view he wanted very strongly, and that is why came to love the route. Kotarou, isnt the "same" anymore, he is a adult now, he will do what it is needed to achieve his goals, to a certain point! He can try, but some lines he cant cross, and in the end it made him so more human! The darkest route, and the lengthiest one also, this is Kotarou's route, dont expect many appearences from the heroines... come with the mindset, that sometimes, to achieve something, you have to reset yourself, through away all that you were, that made you, fight, struggle, and despair, to reach a happy ending not for you, but for the others.. I still have my objections to the route and its ending, BUT I can agree that this route is very well written, that gives a true conclusion to Rewrite's story. Be it a happy one, or a bad one, it is your opinion, for me it ended bittersweet way, with a foreshadowing of a better future, for the great cast that made Rewrite such a incredible interesting, emotional and enjoyable journey, love it or hate, give it a try, play this VN. 9- Oppai Ending Completed; 20/10!!! So, obviously the score isnt that high, just a joke. From finishing this route, I had to do it, sorry!! :P So the Oppai Ending, it is a worth final, you complete all the quests, and you get the happiest ending ever possible on Rewrite!! The comedy in this mini route is very funny, expect lots of booby words, since everything that is good or nice, it is called booby!! Welcome to the Oppai Ending, also called Boob Day (.)(.)!! xD My favorite character of Rewrite: Lucia Konohana, I have always been a sucker for tsunderes(I find them to be very funny, and with her Iron Gloves of Justice, does Lucia the job!). Lucia is a great tsundere, but more than that, she manages to be a very complex character, with lots of conflicted emotions and ideals, with a dark past and a uncertain future! She is the sole survivor of Next Generation of Humanity Project, to create a Future Human. Through the use of cryogenetics and virtual simulations of the current Earth, 2000 years in the future, she adapted to a life of living on that wasteland, that our Earth will become due to increasing exploration of the world resources by humanity. She was chosen at 3 years old, to be a Future Human, so that she could be humanity hope in that world devoided of any living beings! A future earth, filled of sulfuric lakes, rust and lethal poison, a place whole only purpose is killing every living being that dares to walk across its surface! But the project was cancelled in consequence of the violation of human rights it imposed on their "experimental subjects"... Now she has no purpose in life, she had endured all the pain and hardship of that project, to have to reason to exist, to help humanity in the future, to have a meaning to somebody!! Now she has to live in a world she is not longer adapted to live, a world that rejects her existence, a world that her body utterly rejects... thus her body needs to be constantly producing the lethal poison (the natural enviroment of future Wasteland she was meant to survive into), so that she can have a enviromment to survive upon. For her grief and most for her sadness and pain, she cant control the output of poison she emits (and she needs it to live), and so every living thing around her dies just by being close to her... With the help of supressants and with the solution of using a pair of gloves to not touch anything directly(resulting in misunderstandings by the ones around her, that she is clean freak and hates plants and animals, when in fact she loves them all), she lives in society, but she cant be to close to people, she has to endure living alone, rejecting other human warm and contact for the good of those around her, and has a consequence of using suprements to disolve the her's poison(before it can harm anyway), she lost her sense of taste and smell, so the world for her even if she cant admit it, "lost many of its precious colours"... When she finds that Kotarou can endure her cursed poison, when he hugs her and promises to her to stay by her side forever, to never leave her, maybe finnaly can live again... maybe at last, at last she can have that girlish life of love she always earned and dreamt of (but that had to give up on, surprissing her happiness, as much as it costed, she couldnt let people by nice to her, to confort her, to be around her, all for they sake of living)! "If your power is a curse, Lucia... then my power will let me accept it!" In the truth Kotarou changed himself, for her, he Rewrote his body, all for the goal of being able to give her a life no one else could give her, to give her a meaning, something to live for! She found hope and meaning in living with Kotarou, and so it starts probably the most heart-warming, heart-shattering story in existence!! (I maybe dramatazing things, but it was that well crafted, and just a story so beautiful and mature, full of twists, charming lovey-dovey comedy, emotional hardships... but also a story of happiness found on living for your loved ones, supporting and relying on those that most understand you, and that most love you, by what you are! Even if the world rejects you, if you have meaning to someone you have a place to belong, to be next of those that need you!) Without further ado, Lucia cuteness!! Muv-Luv Series: Considered by many one of the best series, Visual Novels, you name it, in existence! It certainly lives to its reputation!! Muv-Luv: -Extra: Not reallt special, boring spice of life, most of the characters are annoying/boring, and thought it really got better the halfer part of the story, and I even managed to get somes laughs and care for the characters... this is the test you have to take, to play Alternative! You shouldnt go to MLA without playing it, since the plot of MLA is HEAVILY linked to what happened on Extra! Both VN complement eachother, if you played only one, or another, in the end the impact would be has great. Yes playing Extra again after MLA, is a much better experience!! Except the annoying Lacrosse part... -Unlimited: Unlocked by finishing the main routes of Extra, IMO there is when stuff gets moving, the true nature of the story is unveiled a bit, you get a clearly different more mature mood from the story, and overall is much better and interesting than Extra, but still not even half as good as MLA! Playing MLU is even more required before playing MLA, than Extra ever was, so make you sure you at least play Unlimited before Alternative. Muv-Luv Alternative: "Muv-Luv Alternative is thus a tale of maturity of accepting the things you cant change, of knowing and understanding your limits, of knowing that you need to give effort to get something you want, and of knowing that its okay to have fears and doubts, as long as you dont let them get to you. And most of all, its a tale of being human of understanding the many different views people have on the same issue, of accepting the fact that everyone dies sometime, and of understanding that those that have passed on still live on in your memories." MLA is divided in 7 story arcs: -Training arc[8/10]: The start, if you have read the previous games, you will immediatly notice why it was so important to do so, the connection with Takeru, both have passed by many stuff together, and it always ended badly, but now Takeru can make a different, starting by little he will change the fate of the world, you just feel like, this time, we will make it dude!! xD How naive... -Coup d'etat arc[9/10]: why MLA is so acclaimed?! Little by little, Takeru changed what happened before on Unlimited for better! But what happens when he cant predict what will happen now?? He will fight, still a naive boy of both ideals and personality, sometimes you have to get blood on your hands to reach your goal, he will learn, grown, seeing people he know dying, but with it, lessons will be learnt, and slowly his will and ideals will mature, yet still a bit naive at heart... -Alternative IV arc[10/10]: Takeru faces the BETA for the first time, facing the cruel reality, and what means to fight the true enemy, its first encounters with them left deep scares, with one of the most shocking scenes on MLA, the reader it there is him, he keeps falling and falling, to deeper sink into darkness, all leading only to worst outcomes... when people talk about courage and epicness of MLA, this arc was the foundation of it all! The wake up call, even if it hurts and is unbearable, save the tears for later, and do what is needed of you, to make a change on the world, you need to start with yourself. True MLA starts here, the rest was just a warming exercise, the feels, how much you are into what is happening, truly phenomenal. -PTSD arc[10/10]: New faces show up keeping it being very interesting and addictiong! Takeru changed, and it reflects on his actions, on how he avoids to run away from the horrific truths he faces, the consequences of his actions, this is the Takeru needed to make a different!! -Sadogashima [9/10]: The biggest battle yet, epic, and the body count just keep growing exponentialy. So far, MLA had always surprised be, I didnt see stuff coming, I was always on edge!! But it starts to suffer a bit from its long story, it can be pretty emotional still, but it also seemed dragged at parts and it was very predictable for me at some stuff... -Yokohama Base Defense [9/10]: So far the menacing threat the BETA represents, keeping surprising, making the odds worst and worst everything, and again it is showed here. All arcs for me are at least great, this and the previous one dropped a bit, again it was predictable for me, and a tad boring, but it still was Muv-Luv Alternative. But while before I could see why people say this to be one of the greatest, if not the greatest VN, I was like meh, it still great, but it is slowing down, and more and more I was affraid of the ending... There was also one scene, very controversial, that shock me to the core, really building ever more the anger he all had for the BETA, some call it extreme hardcore fanservice, for me, it made a bigger impression of how far into the dark, the writters were ready to go, to make Alternative truly memorable, Alternative IV was the worst of all, but this scene was also extremly, in all the correct words, MINDFUCKED... see to believe! -Kashgar Hive infiltration: And then you get to the last arc of the story, Operation Cherry Blossom. Everything is blow out of water, and while I agree the very ending of VN (presented on a mini extra final route), left with complicated feelings... dear god! The best was saved for last! I couldnt believe what I was seeing, Takeru and the squad, EVERYONE made big impact on me, some more than others, but it felt like a team, everyone was needed, everyone made it possible, from beggining to the end, it is EPIC, more than everything ever!! The FEELS, the emotions, whatever! Never before I felt my heart break so much, and my breathing being harder, not with a story, but this one delivers it, the impact is tremendous, the plot development made it all possible, to reach this deep, and have this deep bond with the cast... you will cry, alot, the final moments are even more powerfull, I couldnt cry, paralised, looking to the final confrontation, shocked, like my mind turned off for better, after the overload of previous scenes. But damm those feels... got be bigger than ever, and revelation after revelation, bombarded till the end... even with the Final Extra route that is supposed to leave a nostalgic feeling of conclusion, where you are supposed to be happy, at least Takeru is, a void, a longing for a better way, something that wont happen no mater what, is felt! I cannot not give this last arc less than a 10/10!! I prefered anoter ending, but he dont always get what we want, and what Alternative already gave me, justifies this greatly! So MLA--(if you werent aware for my profile)--->10/10 It meaned so much for me, this story, these lessons Takeru learns, the fate of the whole cast, it was a epic story of love and courage beyond anything I have ever seen, only playing you may understand, the great production values, lipsync, lots of CG, great battles, OST, characters, moments, emotions, story, the evolution of Takeru from a child to a adult, is amazing! MLA can be see as a true route to the series, and for a unique route, it is LONG (60-70 hours), with it cames some inconsistences, but overall, it cames as a surprise that had so many great moments. It has faults, like I stated, but on what it is good, its overhelms these!! To the point you remenber then, but didnt had any negative impact on the experience, when you sadly reach the end of this moving story. Forever one of the best stories (if not the best), I had the luck to experience... read reviews, if it seems interesting enough, please play Extra first, read fast whatever, it is worth it!! Will remenber of these feels forever up to the day of my grave, even if I have to play the game more multiple times in my life!! xD ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Act 1 was quite slow, but I liked it regardless, however, I have to agree that the ending of intermission was hella cringe, lmao.
And I just got through that very scene you described.
"The curse is no joke, I don't want to go berserk again, I want to keep you guys safe"
Ffs, this guy never learns, wtf.
I will probably not drop the game here like you did, but man, this is really getting old lmao.
Ando uma lástima nas respostas, pois lá demorei outra vez no envio da minha... Já estamos em Julho e tudo. My bad.
Por norma faço tal, mas da penúltima vez que te escrevi, o meu comentário que se perdeu diga-se, fiquei convencido que a mensagem passou logo nem fui ao teu perfil confirmar. Desta vez fiz o copy paste habitual e por segurança fui confirmar no teu perfil... não queria outra vez escrever isto uma 2ª vez xD.
Percebo-te. O mundo anda maluco, políticas, guerras, cenas do futebol (falo disto porque gosto da modalidade como muitos, mas cada vez ando mais descrente também) e afins.
Haja saúde ao menos. Eu o ano passado que o diga, passei um ano complicado visto que tive a minha mãe a batalhar contra um cancro. Felizmente curou-se, e para já a situação está controlada, mas foram meses muito desgastantes a todos os níveis para todos à volta dela.
Subscrevo a 100% relativamente a 86. O modo em como o diretor, e restante staff, mesmo com os contratempos todos que tiveram (delays constantes devido aos atrasos e o meme dos 86 dias de espera pelos últimos episódios) na produção fruto da calendarização horrível da Aniplex; e mesmo assim elevarem a source e não comprometerem a qualidade é algo quase inédito. Daqueles animes que mesmo que nunca venham a ter uma sequela no futuro, fico contente se ficar por aqui, se isso implicar mudarem o key staff ou fazerem uma adaptação menos conseguida em termos de direção/dedicação do staff envolvido.
Bem fui simpático com o paralelismo que fiz entre Classroom of the Elite e Oregairu, pois sou bem mais crítico do 1º por uma razão mais primordial. Nem sou grande fã do protagonista como muitos que andam por aí (90% da fanbase), mas o modo em como assassinaram a interpretação do mesmo, alterou completamente a atmosfera e vibe que eu tenho a nível de perceção entre a source e anime. E atenção esta interpretação não é de um LN reader que gostou da source e depois desgostou do anime, é de um tipo que viu o anime como anime only, desgostou do mesmo apesar do potencial e depois, muitos anos mais tarde (2022), fui ler a source e achei-a bem decente, tendo gostado particularmente dos personagens mais secundários e do quão character driven a história acaba por ser. Não vou dar spoiler de nada em concreto, mas mesmo assim vou pôr o spoiler button, pois vou expandir um pouco ao que me refiro ao fazer comparações muito por alto entre source e anime
Já com Oregairu, mesmo com os problemas mencionados, o charme dos personagens está lá, visto que é um história character driven e o anime também tem essa vertente apesar de dar skip/rush a várias cenas. COTE também é character driven, mas como vês pelo que descrevi, as prioridades no anime são outras fruto da péssima direção.
Oregairu Shin teve uma muita má receção pelos fãs nos 1ºs volumes. Não sei se no final lá se redimiu e deu as fãs aquilo que queriam, mas o início via-se mesmo que o autor escreveu isto por puro milking da franquia visto que ele fez retcon a imensas cenas, especialmente à conclusão do triângulo romântico. Low key spoilers abaixo
Posso estar a ser muito injusto e pode Oregairu Shin aterrar nos últimos volumes com o desfecho pretendido (acho que não pelos zunzuns que ouvi
E sim, o Watari Wataru é um one trick poney a meuver. Oregairu Shin à parte, não é à toa que se agarra constantemente a what ifs/parallel univeras e outras cenas, seja web novels, jogos de PSP (com rotas alternativas para todas as outras personagens femininas secundárias, crack shippings incluídos) ou character/art books da franquia para se agarrar à galinha dos ovos de ouro. Chega quase a ser patético, ao estilo de Go-Toubun no Hanayome.
Entretanto vi que adicionaste aos favoritos Frieren e Bokuyaba, dois animes que também adorei ao logo de 2023/2024 e que também foram para os meus favoritos. Frieren em particular dei rewatch há um mês e não me arrependo. A ver se um dia, quando o manga voltar do hiatus, pego no mesmo pois duvido que a Madhouse dê continuidade à excelente 1ª temporada.
Sim, percebo. Eu também já estava para escrever este comentário há bué mas depois é aquela coisa, como não é algo rápido adio, e aliado à falta de tempo/disposição num geral, depois demora até estar naquela disposição de começar a escrever um testamento lol.
Pois, não ajuda que muitos vão desistindo num geral da comunidade ou tenham migrado para o discord (alguns companheiros bem antigos que tenho do MAL ainda falo por lá). Mas sim também não me vejo a abandonar o MAL apesar da minha disposição para com o site já não ser o mesmo.
Visto que o meu comentário também já vai longo fico por aqui...
Grande abraço e toma o teu tempo com a resposta, pois como vês, também vou demorar do meu lado. :)

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
Also yeah, this is from the opening itself. Liked that bit when they released the trailer of it back then. Btw, so now you're on Ciel's route? Hope you went through some of the dead ends on Arc's route xD
Criei um canal no YouTube recentemente, e seria incrível se você pudesse se inscrever e dar uma forcinha pra esse meu projeto, vou falar de animes e outros tópicos!! Estarei profundamente grata e agradeço, desde já!

I can't remember well but I think Yoshimune Kouki said he wanted another format (long time ago), 2 longer seasons, movies. MLA missed the chance long time ago, this bothers me most, it could've have been the original isekai with mature elements but no, it missed its chance.
I'm indifferent to it now, is a shame, but I'm too tired to care, back then I would've wished I could hyperfixate on the idea that I can do better than a studio and animate MLA from scratch.
I hate watching airings too (unless I am extremely busy and I can't keep up with them), I usually start watching them when there are 4 episodes left, one ep/week is too slow, I can't binge watching like I used to back in the old days, I barely watch 2 episodes now in the same time I used to watch a whole season lol
I can't cancel anything. It's not like I am buying Blu-rays and pour all my money into anime industry. Most I can do is touch grass and distance from digital escapism.
I don't pay much attention nowadays to new anime unless is something related to a completed anime or something that grabs my attention ( Bocchi the Rock was the best new entry on my list from the 4 new anime that entered my list the past 2 years)
I've seen a lot of chinese anime in seasonal anime category and I've thought the boom was justified.
2. I know, but I don't really like having this easy life when kids are still slaves just like in 1800s, also while some celebs pollute more in one hour than me in entire year. There is a finite amount of trash that can be put under the rug before it starts to get really stinky. Chaos was bound to happen sooner or later and I'm afraid it can be much worse.
Putin's rival( the one who got unalived) also had some imperialist ambitions, for the West anyone who is 99% Putin is better than Putin, just a product of a capitalist country with no democracy.
Shame on China, it's USA job to do what it wants how it wants, not fair./s
I agree but I also blame capitalism for the failings of democracy, because you can't value a decent human life while valuing profit, with a large numbers of educated people with non-superficial values you can't make huge profits, its easier the see things in retrospective.
I agree, there is a line between enjoying something and being nuts.
Idk free will doesn't really exists, it's just some fairy tale, maybe the next generations will fix the individualistic culture ( you can do it by because you have free will, you don't need anyone) that rotted our society.
3. I just want to chill now.
I used to follow a streamer girl that made a twitch account and build a community because she was alone, the feeling of loneliness was a strong motivator. Other than "is good for me" and "I should do it" there is no other motivation, the current life doesn't give me the life I want but it gives me what I need, it would be nice if I had the other things ( like a better meaningful job, friends, a partner) but I don't want to put the effort for them, if push comes to shove I will do it, otherwise I won't, I'm done suffering by wishful thinking.
I need a community mostly to keep new habits.
Becoming VA sounds nice, it's something I've kinda wanted but never pursued, now with AI it kinda died.
I agree but also I don't, pulling myself by the bootstraps won't work past a certain point, I just have to figure out how to change this society, meanwhile I can't even make friends or get a partener lol.
My goal is to make my mooscles bigger, I know what you say, is the same for me, besides gym, things like dancing, programming, doing stuff I should be doing I don't understand why, just like some german philosopher said: "He who has a why to live for can bear almost any how" and I gave up on finding a why.
(The good old friction between real and ideal, man F/SN sure is a masterpiece) Most of my choices are between 2 things I don't want. Some context would be trying new things I have no interest in just to meet new people, moving out because it will "magically fix my problems" and so on.
Loving myself was hard until I discovered "screw society's and people's expectations" this also fixed my low self esteem, it got a boost seeing how dumb are people around me, it made me more antisocial though. I haven't done everything but why do something that doesn't come from me. Now that I am clear of biases and living in contradictions I would say yes most of your questions.
Depends on what you aim for and what you are willing to sacrifice to achieve it.
No matter what shrink I will go to it won't fix anything, my environment enables me to do the same things, of course I will retreat in video games, porn and other things because I have literally nothing I want to do where I live, if I want to do something it is either during job time or 100km away.
I've learned that some people have mental issues and they are fine with them, they discover them later when they see a shrink, but not on the 1st appointment, later on, 6th+
After going deeper in the self help and psychology area I've come to conclusion that there are not that many real mental issues, freaking commies brother, they want to make us into cattle to work and consummate, is just living in the late capitalism, that's why my issues aren't solely mine but present in a certain demographic with similar background (most of people my age are more or less in the same situation, no gf, rotting away, hoping for the big change, literally my shrink told me single people come to the office because they are single, being single is the newest mental disease). Just give people enough money not to worry about housing/starvation/health and you fix 90% of their problems.
I learned a lot from those channels, things I could not pinpoint 1 on 1, kinda like group therapy. you can always book an appointment if you are willing to spend the money, but it take time to find the right one and time to find what's wrong, you can ask for some tests they might help you.
what might help besides a shrimp is a person with a higher EQ and the ability to listen and ask the right question, which is not guaranteed in a shrimp, they have issues too, they can't force change on nobody, some visits won't fix the loneliness pandemic caused by social media and easy distractions everywhere.
4.Seems nice, kinda makes me want to buy it, play for like 20 hours with Klendathu drop on the background but I won't. I'm not a big fan of shooters/competitive games, I used to play hack'n'slash and adventure games like FF.
The grind never ends if you play the said games, but if you play competitive games you need to train, I don't want to train after work, I just need to blow some steam not to rage at some 14 yo that plays all day and daddy and mommy bought him the latest tech to have advantage, I could buy the said tech, but I don't want to.
5.a.
I'm not sure I fully understand, waifus are fun bro, if is some make believe stuff like 5 minutes, thinking how it would be to meet a person like that irl, but past that is just as you said + cringe af.
You forgot the people that have some weird para-social relationships with some streamers/celebrities, is like they are in a cult. Idiots that take their self esteem from something that doesn't even remotely care about them.
I was thinking about attending some comic convention, but seeing all the cosplayers I thought: hell no (I appreciate the effort and money they put in their costumes though), I used to be somewhat a weebo myself but I never acted on it, enjoying something and making it your whole personality is something I don't want to get into. Seeing people use japanese casually and talking kawaii and stuff is cringing me to death, kudos to them for having the courage to do that.
waifu oppai go *boing* , gotta appreciate the art and the effort put into 3D models
I wish my fried monkey brain would decide that watching adult content (the real issue) is not worth it, that shit takes up so much time, but it doesn't work like that mix that with being alone most of the time, no bigger purpose and it's gg.
5.b. I wish I could use my phone time wisely like you do.
Nowadays I play fgo just for the sense of accomplishment and because I've invested so much in it (I used it to kill time instead of LoL until it became the main game, besides FGO both on JP and NA, I rarely play new games and when I do, I play for less than a week, but I picked up Nikke last month and play I still play Honkai Impact 3rd(after 7 months), but I'm doing some more quests and delete them both, I just log in mostly, get the free stuff, do some missions while multitasking (60% of time) and log out, I guess that's why it takes so long to delete those. I might keep Nikke for longer just to get used to how korean sounds, I'm giving learning korean a chance.
Meaningful experiences are subjective. I barely get any pleasure from anything beside gym, I'm doomed to enjoy things in retrospective (after done the said thing looking back at that thing I didn't felt like doing) I feel like doing nothing most of the time, my brain be like :"Just chill bro, why worry about the future when you can be happy now" (axis cult credo) I try to read more, use some learning apps or something but if is just for the sake of doing it and not a genuine interest or a strong positive emotion towards it I will stop in few days and go back to watch porn in my few hours of spare time.
5.d. Comparing my life with the romanticized version I've thought people have and believing I could achieve it, I've wasted my youth but after taking in account my personality traits and upbringing there was no other alternative. It was fate, I've come at peace with all and accepted I'm not at fault for it, it's people and society fault.(more axis cult credo)
6. I agree but to share the life with the right people you must first find them which is kinda difficult after a certain age bonus points because I work somewhere with less than 10 colleagues and no outside contact, plus I'm not the most likeable person, in fact quite the opposite, striking conversations and being interested in strangers is beyond me, but with people that happen to go to same places as I do is not hard, but then again I barely leave house.
I'm past that point where I'm desperate for relationships, I can't beat a hyper individualistic culture when I am alone most of the time and so used to it. I can keep relationships casual but getting close is past my abilities. Talking about feelings, being vulnerable, relying on others, quality time doing various activities together is so cringe.
I don't like initiating conversations with strangers, especially when I don't see any common ground, but if I have some economic motivation I might, is not about money or making friends with riches just so they can invite me to events or buy me things, what I meant is this: I think everyone uses it more or less, you probably won't continue talking to people that drain you or that have a gloomy view of the world, people that you always need to please so they would be close to you, you want to be close to people that worth your time. This is what I meant with economic value also what I can get from them (not money) opportunities, new connections, new hobbies, etc.
7.I managed to lift better, more focused than last year, that before I broke my back lol.
Depends how you define living, ain't life a boring cycle of sleep, work, and waiting for some vacations? if you want to feel alive one must try bungee jumping, dodging death sure makes you feel alive.
At least I'm not depressed anymore, because I've discovered socialism, now I am just hollow, I just need something to distract myself with until the end, just like everyone else.
Now to change to less serious topic, I've spoiled Umineko ending, I got so tired after 5 episodes, such a shame, but this happened 2 years ago and I kinda forgot the spoiler XD
I've started F/HA for the 3rd time, this time I will finish it for sure.
Finally after one month of several hours and multiple days of writing, I finished this reply, I didn't proof read it, it's kinda messy because I've started replying each point separate, then I went back.
The event you're talking about is crucial for a midgame decision point. If you don't attend that meeting with Edelgard, you'll have to fight her.
Isn't Conquest the only route without extra missions that let you farm exp? I only remember having some DLC missions that I actually didn't bother playing, and just concentrated on the main plot. I remember lowering the difficulty mid game, because I was exhausted with how much effort you had to put into every single mission. The same could be said with Engage, where Maddening gave you so many ridiculous restrictions, that it wasn't fun anymore.
The main reason I decided to play Conquest was Camilla... *cough*... I mean, I read that it had the best variety and creativity when it comes to level design. I can't compare, but it definitely felt better than what 3H offered most of the time.
I mean, replay value is nice, but if you don't want to repeat mostly the same events and activities, then in my opinion it's not worth going for such a big scope like 3H, and just concentrate on something more compact like Engage.
My journey with Fire Emblem went like this: 3H > Engage > Fates Conquest > Path of Radiance (less than 50% of the game completed). So I'm fairly a rookie when it goes to the franchise. I have the first FE on Switch, but it feels too obscure to be enjoyable so I'll probably concentrate on the remake (FE11) instead.
I also played FE Heroes for a fe months, after Engage, and that also made me want to check out the other series. Lots of cool characters, like Ike and Cami... MARTH, so I wanted to check them out too.
I had a break from Radiance because I played Unicorn Overlord, which I finished a few days ago, so maybe I'll revisit FE soon enough.
I did try CS3 before dropping it for the first time back in early 2022, only to pick it up again a year after.
I wonder if the same will happen with CS4 XD.
You watching anything good this season? I'm having a good time with the Spice and Wolf remake, Mushoku Tensei S2, KonoSuba S3, and Unnamed Memory. Not a big fan of the animation changes for Yuru Camp S3, sadly; the show looks much less polished now after the studios change.
Glad to see that you're a fan of both Frieren and The Dangers In My Heart. They were my favorite shows from the previous season. :)
