Okay I feel like this is going to be for me ahaha I really like battle of wits, especially when it's not just in a shounen and in an anime with actually a lot of thinking, but there aren't many nowadays and I think I watched most of the good ones except this one.

And okay for the other entries, I think the best thing to do would be to watch it in release order? I think this is always the best thing to do to not be confused by the watching order anyway ahah especially since it started in the 80s anyway.

For the gore aspect it is probably the reason it was made as an OVA and not a TV series I would guess? Since back then these shows were heavily censored and you couldn't even show blood I think, Hokuto no Ken is the perfect well known example because despite being a series entirely based on violence and fighting there wasn't a single drop of red blood shown on screen and it was always a white light.

I wonder what the justification is for making a remake of a series to high rated and universally considered already perfect as it is though. (Except if a lot of people really can't get themselves to watch older shows due to the animation).

I would like to rewatch Gintama too already, but it's way too long, though I rewatched some of the best comedy episodes, especially the parody ones (The one where Hijikata goes to DBZ universe to buy cigarettes because they don't exist anymore in his universe always gets me LOL)

I'm playing on Steam Deck mostly for chill games like that, so yeah it's the PC version

HEY HI!!
THANKS FOR ACCEPTING THE FR
DO YOU HAVE ANY GOOD ANIME RECCOMENDATIONS??

So most of it is actually focused on the military aspect like the tactics they'll take to overcome the enemy and the drama regarding their roles in their own faction? I heard that Reinhard was one of the best strategists in anime xD

And so the series that started in 2018 is a remake? I thought it was like an alternative version or some spin-off, but I'm surprised they tried to remake it and in the end the remake seems to be well rated (for today's standard, sure compared to the insane rating the original series has it's pretty low). I will eventually have to watch the series for sure then... fortunately it's not that long and I don't mind the older art style at all, I actually fully watched Hokuto no Ken back then, I wish I watched this one too because nowadays I watch less episodes per day so it's gonna take a long time I start it.

The last long anime I watched is Gintama I think? But well this one has 400+ eps, I don't regret at all since it's one of my favorite shows ever.

I recommend Stardew Valley, it's the kind of game that you can play 30 minutes per day and it works well like this, you can do whatever you like in the game and there's no pressure at all. Otherwise I'm also playing Romancing Saga 2 remake, it's good.

Well on the other hand it's proof that Pulp Fiction worked so well on people that it created hundreds of iconic scenes and frames that stay in people's heads even when they didn't watch the movie before.

Not most of them tbh, and there are JRPG that can be long only if you decide to go for the different sidestories or different ending (for example Chrono Trigger has MANY endings, but finishing the game itself isn't too long).

Hm okay, well it sounds good for Nier Automata I guess.

So Legend of the Galactic Heroes is really that good? I want to watch it but it's a bit long, and it seemed quite complex and that's something I originally like but I fear it's too focused on the military side?

Yes I played a bit of the Doom 2016 and I can say it's definitely one of the best older game sequel they could have made. Lol I wish Quake took the same path instead of focusing on Quake Champions even though the movements are insane in this game but Quake has a much potential as Doom (and I would say I prefer Quake over Doom so far)

I finished Yakuza Like A Dragon and plan to play something different now, I'm not sure, maybe something relaxing like Stardew Valley since I never played it before

It's funny because in my case I absolutely loved Pulp Fiction, while Inglourious Basterds was good but not on the same level for me. I haven't seen Django Unchained though, but if you say it's really funny I should definitely check it out.
Otherwise I think Reservoir Dogs is one of his best movies, I like that one so much. I also saw Once Upon a Time in Hollywood recently and I liked it too.

Yakuza 0 is awesome, the main story is so interesting and addicting that I ended up neglecting all the substories but aside from that there are so many things to do in the game with all the minigames available, I think it's the best one to start the series.
Now I'm playing Yakuza Like a Dragon and yeah this one is very different since it's basically a turn-based JRPG but all the other elements regarding the story and how the world works are similar. Like a Dragon also seems way longer to finish especially since the substories are longer, but this time I'm trying to complete them all.

That's probably the best thing to do to not feel overwhelmed by the game.
Do you know how Nier Replicant compares to the original game? Is it a spin-off?

Yeah I can definitely see that lol, it's kinda like in Doom where it's so satisfying to destroy all the enemies but now there are just way more of them ahaha. Reminds me that I still need to finish the older Doom games I haven't played yet same for Quake, I loved Quake 2.

Which Quentin Tarantino movies did you watch other than Kill Bill? But yeah this one is really good especially the 1st one in my opinion, I tried to watch the Japanese movie it is based on but I didn't like it much.

There's Suikoden 1 & 2 remake that just got out today, I want to try it but the games are too expensive, there are so many classic JRPG to play.
I just finished Yakuza 0, I highly recommend it it was awesome and not too long to finish, I don't know if I'm going to play Like a Dragon or Yakuza Kiwami.

I think getting the platinum for Hollow Knight is hardcore, I heard that there are some achievements where you have to replay the game and finishing it without taking damage or things like that?

Ah yes, though it probably doesn't matter that much for Hades 2, a friend told me that it was still awesome, but I guess waiting for the end of the early access is also a wise choice.
I checked No Rest for the Wicked and it looks awesome, definitely a game I would love for the RPG aspect and the graphism, but yeah it's probably better to wait for the end of the early access because people say that there are still many flaws so far due to the game not being polished enough.

I have to say Vampire Survivors' gameplay looks so satisfying if you get to kill that many amount of enemies in a short time ahah

I didn't expect it to look like that but I actually really like what I'm seeing, well I'm not too much a fan of fighting games but the art style looks awesome lol, the big outlines remind me of Borderland's art style.

Yes since she needs to be saved, well Re:Zero S2 also had Echidna as a new popular character that I personally liked as well.

I haven't seen Tenet but it seems to be a hit or miss movie for most people, I just need to watch Oppenheimer I can't believe I still haven't seen it yet lol.
Yes I remember about Inception, maybe I'll rewatch it someday but I just found it to be very pretentious I couldn't like it sadly.

Oh, which Final Fantasy games have you played? Also I bought both Ni no Kuni game actually I plan to play them this year!! (With also Romancing SaGa 2).
And yes I played all of the Persona games, the older ones are different and probably not for everyone (even though I like them as much as the new gen ones) but if you haven't played any Persona game I would probably recommend you to try them before Metaphor because Atlus' touch is very similar and they also kept a lot of aspects (like the UI and some game mechanics like social links, stats etc) from Persona in Metaphor (mainly Persona 3 Reload). But yeah they're also very long, you'll need at least 100 hours minimum to finish Persona 5 Royal, I think I did Persona 4 Golden in about 80h? Persona 3 is a bit shorter it took me 50 or 60h to finish the old Persona 3 and Persona 3 Reload, so I would probably recommend you try Persona 3 Reload first and then maybe play Metaphor if you like the game's style.

Yeah I don't get why they did the remake in a chibi version without adding anything to the game, like what's even the point, at least the remake is getting carried by the original aura of the game but it doesn't make sense.
Okay I see, and they actually teased that Hollow Knight Silksong is still in development and they didn't discard it.

Yes I definitely see why you would like it I mean the world building is awesome same for the original art style and voice acting, I just don't like the genre... have you played Hades 2? I heard that it was even better.

I don't know Vampire Survivors, is it another rogue-like game?

Hey there, I'm doing alright thanks.

I just recently finished watching Nisemonogatari

That's great! oh and nice, im surprised it still hasn't snow for us yet

Wait they're planning to release a League of Legends fighting game?? I didn't hear about it before I'm surprised

And what did you think about Rem? Since she's the reason most people like Re:Zero

Oh okay, well if only Fukumoto's works could receive another anime adaptation at some point though... I'm still kinda sad that Liar Game also didn't receive an anime

I was disappointed by Memento sadly :( but it's because I don't really like Nolan's style, his best one for me might be The Prestige

Oh okay I see then, well I like playing solo games at all, even when it comes to mainly multiplayer ones, sometimes it's relaxing to be alone.
I'm trying to finish Metaphor ReFantazio right now, what an amazing game but it doesn't surprise me from Atlus.

Which pokemon game did you play though? And have you started Hollow Knight? I didn't play it but used to watch vids about the game and it's awesome, I just don't really like Rogue-like games overall, for example I played a lot of Hades and it's awesome but I'm frustrated every time I need to completely restart a run

Hey! yours too! nice to see a fellow kaito fan

Nice, just watched some Christmas movies! and thanks, happy new year to you too! hope its going well for you so far

The hentai adapts a bit of the starting parts of the 1st original game in the franchise.

The OG is massive, since it consists of 4 games, and it's an incredible ride. It's what i'd like to call, the best porn with a plot i've ever played so far xd. It was time well spent, really.

My scores for all games would be the following:

Kyonyuu Fantasy 9/10;

Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden (sequel) shorter game too, 9/10;

Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden 2 (sequel to gaiden), the biggest in the original franchise, a masterpiece in every front, 10/10;

Kyonyuu Fantasy Gaiden 2 After -Osutashia no Yabou- is a very good game, features a new heroine, but it was very frustrating, because Lute's giga harem (the main protagonist) was just reduced to 4 characters out of 11 girls, so it was kinda sad. But the story is great nevertheless, 9/10.

Now i have to talk about the other games in the franchise ahah. You might be wondering where the 3if game comes in. Well, it's some sort of prequel to the original since its set way way back in the timeline, but honestly, it feels like a 100% spin off, since the concepts of both games are very different. There is a Kyonyuu Fantasy 3 game btw, without the "if". The "if" means that it is a reworked game, how the production team really intended them to be, so for example, Kyonyuu Fantasy 2 and 3 became obsolete due to the "if" versions. I'll list the rest of the games down below so you can understand a bit about the relations between each games:

Kyonyuu Fantasy 2if - This is a prequel to the OG game, the protagonist is different, and in here you get to see the story before the events of the main story, and you will also see how the main heroine of the original, Shamsiel, came to be, since her mother Shaharl is a main heroine in here. It's another masterpiece of a story, huge game, with a lot of choices, some of them are pretty damn tricky as well, but damn its such an incredible ride. 10/10.

Kyonyuu Fantasy 3if - You could say this is a prequel to the OG game and 2if as well, but like i said, its set way way back in time and can be considered its own thing tbh. This game deals with a god protagonist, and you have an Ancient Rome concept mixed with Greek Mythology. Easily my favorite of them all, the story is such a gripping experience, i couldn't stop playing xd and the harem end is incredibly satisfying. Heroines are also some of the best the franchise has in general, i have like, 3 heroines on S+ tier, 2 of them are my number 1 and 2 in the franchise, those being Venus and Athena. 10/10 without a shade of a doubt.

Kyonyuu Fantasy 3 if -Artemis no Ya - Medusa no Negai- this one is like, a continuation of Athena's route in 3if. A new character is introduced, Artemis, and the story follows from there. It kinda scared me at the start, but the ending was awesome. Then it features a route for Medusa, she is like a best friend of the protagonist, and didn't have a route in the main game. 9/10

And now we get to the games i haven't played yet:

Kyonyuu Fantasy 4 Shuudoushi Astor - The game is available, but it only has a machine translation. Mangagamer is translating it atm to english, to be released on Steam this year eventually, and its like 85% done, so i'll just wait for it in the meantime.

Kyonyuu Fantasy 5 Ouji Leen - The new game that will come out in the 25th of February. I've seen the teasers and its characters, it looks so promising, im going crazy over it ahah.

I'll leave here links to each game so you can check out more details yourself if you're interested. On the bottom of the pages, there are even some screenshots where you can see some gameplay as well. There is also a section where you can check the characters from each game ^^

PS: sorry for the long testament xD

Ah no, it's from a H visual novel ahah. The name is Kyonyuu Fantasy 3if

Happy new year!!

Okay I see, I think I also read that many people installed the game after watching Arcane but almost no one continued playing because the perception was different than what they saw in the series lol.

I can understand that lol I thought Emilia was cute but it's true that she doesn't bring much in the 1st season compared to Rem for example, but yeah Subaru wouldn't do that if it wasn't for women I mean he's similar to Denji from Chainsawman in a way.

You haven't watched the anime for Akagi?

I'm this way too nowadays so I get you... I usually try to watch a movie right before dinner but I'm sometimes just lazy to do it compared to before, I used to watch movies at the beginning of the day sometimes right after I woke up but it's not really a good idea, the only way to be truly motivated imo is to physically go to the cinema.

Okay then, is the game focused on the quests/fights or the map progression? What I usually like in these games is the world-building but I don't know if there's really one. I think I need to finish my solo games first because getting addicted to another online stuff ahahaha
