Wha...?

I seriously cannot believe this exists. It's some unholy marriage of Baccano, James Bond, and K-ON.

A few people in power pushing pedo pandering would be prefered than proposing that plenty of peasants actually pursue and purchase these properties.
But seriously, thinking that these kinds of things sell enough to warrant getting adapted into anime and all that stuff is pretty disheartening. I don't actually condemn smut by itself, but I'd rather not have the industry pursue stories about "it's almost incest, but they aren't related by blood!", "their boyfriends don't even matter, here's a girl dominating another to the point she's too horny to resist!", "oh man, these ten-year-old girls are offering sexual favors to a high-schooler hikikomori if he helps them hold a concert! that's so funny!" or "here, have a pantyshot of the MC's grade schooler little sister as the very first cut of the show!".

Wait hold up what the fuck are we talking about here again?
Prisma Ilya?
Was just joking that I'd rather humor a conspiracy theory where the few are pushing these kinds of shows as opposed to such anime actually selling, which is probably the case because producers probably wouldn't pick up something unless they thought it could sell well enough to have a decent ROI, but I sort of got held up on the "pedo pandering" line and got a bit carried away with the alliteration.

Trashy anime shit which shouldn't exist on any planet, nevermind be adapted from print and air on tv in Japan.
Really should be left at that... pure and total shit...
To avoid further derailing the discussion back into trashy shows, I'm really liking MHA, and am wondering why I didn't bother picking it up earlier.
This being a pretty barren season on CR is kind of nice I guess, since I can just spend time watching good shows rather than whatever's on at the time and hope it doesn't KADO on me.

Why hasn't anime given us the tale of four older ladies trying to make it in their band with the help of a NEET college boy instead of lolis?

KBG84 anime when?
Because everybody knows people in anime-land leave the city as soon as they turn 20 and live the rest of their lives as hermits somewhere in the countryside.
That and otaku would probably be put off by that kind of fanservice.
Even though I'd actually watch a show about senior citizens trying to play music.

The closest I know about is a manga series about an old lady that becomes a magical girl, and defeats humans possessed by evil by basically giving them life counceling lessons and being supportive of them, which is apparently revealed as a way better solution to stopping them than just beating them to a pulp. The title is XXでも魔法少女になれますか？ (my translation: "Can I become a magical girl even though I'm XX?")

Fate/Apocrypha ep.1
Yup, this is defintely Fate. If that is the new Saber, I think I'm already in love, lol.

It's not stats though, it's probability.

FOR THE CULTURE
Kakegurui - 02
This show is so bonkers, but it all just works.
Thought I'd be watching a lot more than I am this season, but life is so busy at the moment I legit only have had time to watch this and Fate. I've dropped Re:Creators since that was just a poor man's Fate too, and it makes no sense to continue watching it when the real thing is out. I have been thinking of checking the Ballroom show, and maybe that other Vatican one. Impressions around here seemed pretty okay for those.
Stats is largely about probability... and that's definitely not how it works!

In this game, a class of students each draw either rock, scissors, or paper on cards and put them into a box from which the two players draw their hands. Thus the distribution of the three card types is different each round depending on what the class draw.

I haven't done math in a while but if we are gonna be technical here, statistics deal with the analysis of past events and their frequency, while probability deals with the prediction of a future event given a present situation. One basically measures the extent to which a situation may or may not be ideal while the other serves to find out what the consequences would be if we were to be in an ideal world. Anyone more versed in the maths may be able to reword this a little better lol.
I include stats with probability because they're often taught together at the college level.
Also stats is easier to type.
I guess technically the dude narrating sucks at gambling and this could be an example of why he sucks because he doesn't know shit about probability.

Hmm... I guess you'd have to apply behavioral psychology on top of game theory to try and guesstimate card counts then. Still, deriving "rock is overpopulated" from "I got two rock cards in my initial 3-card hand" is one hell of a stretch.
At that point, from statistics' point of view, 66% of the cards you know from the deck are rock (with a sample size of 3). However, probability kind of shrugs and looks the other way the moment you're told card variety isn't actually fixed, since you can't accurately predict cards, and would rather have to rely on heuristics and psychology to guesstimate the chances of drawing other cards or your opponents having any particular type of card in their hand.
Still, I always find that kind of logic funny, since it's exactly the kind of mistaken interpretation of probability people tend to use when they play TCGs such as Magic: the Gathering (and I was guilty of that myself at one point).

Statistics and Probability go hand in hand. It has nothing to do with being technical. Stats is data, from which you derive probability. The more data you have, the more accurate the result. In this case, the hand being drawn is the sample from which the player attempts to form an conclusion on. Except, it's bad data because it is not representative. It would be specifically Probablity if the player is aware of the odds, but without knowing the odds trying to draw a conclusion from a sample set can easily be considered Statistics.
He doesn't know shit about probability because there is nothing to know. In this case the probability is a complete unknown. When it is unknown, there is no probability to apply.
But I already watched it.
But there are a lot of odds you can apply when playing TCGs based on rules alone. Certain types of cards are limited within a deck, you know the composition of your own deck, etc. So when you draw a hand, you already have a good amount of information to predict what could come later.

So many shows to check out so little time.

Sorry I can't be expected to read every post just watch Fate/Apocrypha like I said.

The funny thing is none of this actually matters within the context of the first episode of Kakegurui since
one side is stacking the deck.

Crunchyroll just confirmed today that they got the Simulcast rights to New Game Season 2 , Hajimete no Gal and In Another World With My Smartphone.
It'd be nice for Funimation to dub and give a home video release for New Game.

I think it applies even in that case, because he's insinuating that you can read the stacking by the spread of the cards (which is technically accurate but only across multiple games).

No, I mean that
the information is totally off and misleading due to Mary's cheating. We shouldn't forget that Suzui is an unreliable narrator for this game since he's participating in Mary's scheme without revealing that fact to the audience.
Oh yeah.
