Your pinned reddit comment about Frieren is a hilarious example of Poe's Law. 10/10

Yeah that seems to be a trend whenever I check threads for very progressive shows. Def makes it refreshing to see more people that do have a better outlook, but it's annoying to still see very chud-y talking points about these topics here.

Ragebait kid account, either that or corny niche watcher wannabe...

On the rewatch, I'm a bit embarrassed by my comment. "Juri did nothing but love Shiori and be nice to her!" Re-watching it, both had flaws in the relationship, and the fandom (myself included) were too hard on Shiori.

But yeah... That comment section where they blamed Utena for getting groomed by Akio was disappointing.

I think that 'Made in Abyss' would be an anime that is right up your alley
Do it for this woman, at least


And I've been thinking about Re:Zero lately and the more that I think of it, the more unsure and unconvinced about the whole thing I've become.
Most of these have to do with the main character Natsuki Subaru (as most side characters if not all are undeveloped compared to him). Initially I simply accepted him becoming more confident and acquiring a large group of allies, but this seems to be more of forced progression than I thought.

I do sorta relate to his backstory back at home, but most things afterward (in season 2 onwards) just do not mesh well with me.

For starters, Re:Zero is lauded as a series that is "different from the norm", "not a typical isekai", "not a power fantasy"

But despite all his fuckups that would naturally result in more conflicts with the cast, he manages to obtain an OP party and have multiple "romantic interests" (as insinuated by Meili in the latest episode I watched) and even befriend a ridiculous amount of lolis (more than Araragi Koyomi mind you)

And his mental state is all over the place. He dies in extremely gruesome ways all the time, in ways that would realistically have more of a toll on his psyche and would provide more permant consequences, it doesn't take long for him to get himself involved in banter and have his base carefree personality.

SEASON 4 SPOILERS

Compared to Okabe in Steins;Gate 0, from what I watched so far he doesn't go back into chunni mode his psyche is more permanently fucked and you can even see that with how he almost gags or throws up in multiple episodes. He's (rightfully) in a state of constant despair due to the Kurisu/Mayushii debacle. I watched Kaiji and rewatched Madoka as well as Made in Abyss recently and all 3 showcase suffering and mental despair better than Re:Zero.


Also, the series I think has lost the horror aspect for the most part, that was better conveyed in s1 (Subaru trials and errors in the mansion, the hounds, Petelguese and some of S2 part 1) and now reads like a more standard fantasy action isekai, albeit with more gore and a less OP protag.

His speech in S3, I found it a little heartwarming, but also corny. In fact I can say that about a lot of things (ugh lap pillow)

I even think the artstyle and animation is a bit worse now than it was a decade ago. What do you think about Re:Zero's evolution (or de-evolution) throughout the years?

(I know my ratings do not match up with some of what I've said, but I haven't gotten around to changing them. I struggle sometimes between rating based off of actual quality compared to entertainment)

True, Project Moon OSTs are genuinely great.

I haven't played Lobotomy Corporation yet, but I definitely plan to at some point, so probably next time it's on sale. From everything I've seen (and from what you're saying), I can totally see why it hits so hard. That whole atmosphere seems really unique compared to most games. I do get where you're coming from with Library of Ruina tho. The game is pretty repetitive, and I honestly don't think I would've stuck with it if it weren't for other elements carrying it, mainly the narrative and worldbuilding. That's where it really hooked me. The gameplay loop itself can feel super cyclical, and the progression system can push you back into grinding if you lose resources, which just makes everything feel more tedious.

I also think burnout plays a huge role with this game. I never binged it the way you described playing LobCorp, I played it more in short sessions here and there, almost like a "read a chapter, do a few fights, dip" kind of thing. And honestly, that pacing helped a lot. It just works better when treated like something you come back to in chunks rather than grinding through it nonstop imo. But yeah, I'm not gonna pretend the gameplay doesn't get frustrating sometimes. There were moments where it straight-up felt like ragebait, especially with the grind and trial-and-error aspects. I even put the game on hold for a while because of that lmao. At some point I just gave up and used mods so I wouldn't lose resources on failed attempts, and you could always try that if you want to give it another shot without dealing with the worst parts of the loop.

Also, I noticed you had the Chainsaw Man movie in your favorites and that made me even more curious about it. I loved that arc in the manga, so I was actually planning to watch it in theaters with friends when it came out, but they bailed last minute. Didn't feel like going alone, so now I'm just waiting for it to drop on streaming instead. Sadge.

By the way, I'm kinda curious, what are your favorite games overall? And what games are you currently playing. I just feel like talking more about games since it's the type of media I'm more invested in nowadays.

I see you know about Mrs. Ruina

You have my condolences, friend. Chuds just see red when they come across your profile. Must mean you're doing something right!

Yeah, like.... Subaru convincing ppl just because he says 'the right words'.... somehow was something I found to be exceedingly idiotic. Granted, I never liked Re:zero's first season either (subaru just ticks all my pet peeves for main characters) but dear lord S3 was particularly horrible and I have zero hope the show will fix its issues.

new gen deadlock haze bot

Point at the person below (alt account, can't comment on their main acc lol) and laugh at them

Any anime that isn't 20 years old or isn't pedogatari is garbage to this nigga just go watch boondocks or something thats what your people love right?

Re:TARD S3 was pretty hilarious, and I had a lot of fun with seeing how the trashy NTR plot developed. I also found it weird that the author seemingly emphasizes weaknesses over strengths as well. I guess he doesn't realize those weaknesses are weaknesses? Beats me. :S

You sure watch a lot of Animes you hate and the irony is that you watch them whole🤣

As a fan of the nanga (first part only), I was really looking forward to the animation of this arc, and fortunately, it did not disappoint me. Tbh, it even surpassed my initial expectation. The intense flow of the fight was so epic, and I absolutely adore how cinematic some shots were. Plus, the light coloring and shading makes the movie really dynamic and vibrant.

Totally agree with your take, the film includes some subtle symbolisms, like the pool scene, the gerbera flower, or the mouse story. Nice to see you're going to review it!
