Tsuredure Children basically skips all the "filler" that a normal romcom anime would have & gets to the "memorable" moments, both in terms of what our characters would remember looking back & we the audience would remember. It also helps there's so many characters to focus on, so it has a good variety.

It was also smart to make each episode only about 11 minutes excluding the OP as to not overstay its welcome so you spend just the right amount of time with each couple.

I like the 2011 art style better

Also

I love these dorks

That moment when you summon a bunch of demonic archangels to kill your foe and they tell you to sacrifice your daughter only for you to refuse and some fat blob proceeds to air out your wife killing dirty laundry.

relatable

I was recently reminded that Wet exists.

It exists, and I played it.

That's about the most positive thing I can say about it.

It was during bullet time phase iirc

I think I should get that but I don't

She was voiced by Eliza Dushku...it was...playable, I think I reviewed this during college, ending was shit.

Berserk, it's early in the manga.

I have no desire to read a manga that will never end....goes back to reading one piece

Hey at least we're finally about to see

Casca get cured

which has been like the milestone for the last 15 years

Berserk is good though, I still can't believe there's like twice the amount of One Piece than Berserk.

Oh, definitely gonna play it some day once I get the chance. The LP was nice enough to link all the music at the right time, and I have a copy of the OST.

All this delicous salty despair, danganronpa is one of those series that makes me agree with Seda about plot making a game worse. Of course danganronpa makes itself worse with those awful minigames.

Video game plots aren't very good most of the time...I'd watch a xenoblade anime

I don't mind if a plot is cookie cutter or cliche or dumb in a hype way. Danganronpa is dumb in a dumb way where the entire premise of the series hinges upon something so dumb it really cripples the whole saga and each new story continues to try and justify the stupid original twist.

 

[Moaradin]

As an outsider looking in, Danganronpa seems pretty dumb.

 

[caliph95]

Danganronpa is dumb

I do agree how dumb the overall world

It's kinda why the games and anime that focus on it tend to suck.

 

[Chase17]

Of course it is dumb. It's about a talking bear that trolls characters throughout the game.

What makes it fun (for me) are the absurdly convoluted plot twists that are often played straight.

Hangman's gambit is certainly not fun though.

Dumb is fun.

Hangman's Gambit... is not fun. That is the opposite of fun.

But they improved it

Don't you love the improved version

That's great it's all the backstory that is better left backstory then ecplired

Lololol

Glad I'm not spending money on that crap

We're sitting here posting on a forum discussing a franchise where one of the leads Jojo poses and another has hyper intelligent gerbils and where someone got killed with a bikini stuffed with gravel. Seriously?

In manga news, Magi is ending in 4 chapters.

I don't know if this is overdue or right on time. People seem to be kinda divided on Magi.

 

[caliph95]

It took ages to figure that out

And fuck the improved hangman gambit as well

I think the general consensus is that it's well liked, before getting caught up in a massive flashback.

*and 40 hours of time.

 

[Zonic]

*manages to pull off Nemesis' mission 10 in MvC Infinite*

*game doesn't save/count it for some reason, has to do it again but can't figure out the time constantly*

WELL SCREW YOU TOO, GAME.

 

[BassForever]

All the danganronpa minigames are trash, worse is that 95% of the time I already know what the answer is but getting the game to let me say it involves terrible controls.

 

[Line_HTX]

Morrigan kind of has a long neck, lmao

I had to look that one up. It made no sense.

I liked the Magi anime. Shame it probably won't get continued.

Even if it did the next arc is a very long flash back that killed the good will a lot of people had for the series. I think its still great but it changed the direction it was going.

 

[Morlas]

I kinda lost interest in magi when that one character went f%*×ing insane out of nowhere

 

[Seda]

I don't really think that 'plots makes games worse' in an absolute sense, not always. It's more than I really don't place much value on plots when it comes to my enjoyment of games. Some of my all-time favorite games have absolutely shitty narratives but it doesn't matter at all if the game itself is great. (Grandia III is an example) On the flipside, there are some games with good story stuff that I don't care for because the game itself isn't very good (Vagrant Story is an example).

Now "gameplay" is a really loose term that encompasses so many things, but basically, as long as I adore the "gameplay" then that is all that matters.

To use a stupid analogy: "good gameplay" is a slice of pie and "good plot" is the whipped cream on top. Pie is perfectly good without whipped cream, good pies don't need it. Whipped cream by itself isn't so appealing. If you have both, great!




(occasionally I think overdone plot stuff can actually hinder gameplay but that starts to ruin the analogy)

I dug the early parts of Magi when it was about the actual dungeon adventures but then it got bogged down with the politics of the world.

Alibaba was best boy though.

This is close to my own thoughts on the issue. I will say if I had to choose between a good story in a game and good "gameplay" I'd pick the interactive part in an instant.

I know why we can't be controlled its because nami isn't here to punch us for being stupid anymore

 

[Crimson_Echidna]

My supervisor just called to check in on me. More so to persuade me to take the rest of this week off given my pink eye. Which, it makes sense. I'm just so used to barely ever using Sick Leave that this is a weird feeling.

wait the original HxH is STILL going?! what arc did the 90s series end on?

Yorknew

With a separate ova for greed island

The arc after took ages due breaks

Yup. The latest arc is pretty awesome as well.

I see. how is the OVA compared to the 90s series? and how long was it?

It's been a while since I watched the old anime, but the GI OVA I remember not being great. An inconsistent early 2000s production.

Split into GI (8 eps) and GI: Final (14), compared to 17 for the 2011 series.

Oh shit, I remember this game. I played it twice.
The Kill Bill vibe + bullet time aspect was the only good thing going for it.

[RampagingSoul]

Since there was talk of DRV3, I just remembered and came across this cool video about Chaos;Child, which comes out in October, that made me even more hype for the game than I already was.

A third consecutive year that a Science Adventure game will possibly be in my top GOTY list (Steins;Gate, Steins;Gate 0, and, possibly, Chaos;Child).

 

[ezekial45]

Quick question, are they ever gonna do another Month of Movies again?

 

[RampagingSoul]

Quick question, are they ever gonna do another Month of Movies again?

It's possible and, if it does happen, it's most likely in December, going by past times it has happened if I remember correctly.
