Why shouldn't they be able to bitch at the NUNS for crossing the line first and opening the floodgates? What's the point of nuclear deterrence if there is no response? Windermere just needed 7 years to acquire a response. Var has not been as destructive to people and absolutely not destructive to nature compared to a dimensional weapon. The primal function of Var is not even to kill. The majority of people that have died were probably military personal that had to be shot dead. It is for the same reason you don't hear people mentioning the fire bombings of Tokyo as much as the nukes. In the last episode Var did the biggest damage it has done so far. And how did it do it? By making people self-destruct with 3 dimensional weapons that were going to bomb Windermere.

In the best case scenario, it's "only" robbing people of their free will on a galactic scale, in other cases, we get stuff like episode 1, which shows var-infected soldiers in mech walkers stomping around shooting down civilians, or civilians killing each other.

And again, the issue is not that they are responding in kind to the dimensional weapons, it's that they haven't even addressed the var. They haven't said "the var is inhumane, but we have to use it in response to the dimensional bombings," or "the var is less inhumane than the dimensional weapon for such-and-such reason," it just doesn't seem to be on their radar of things that might be kind of fucked up.
This is just working off my memory though, so if they did actually talk about it and I forgot, do tell me.

The apples plus water thing is the best example for a critique of what they were doing. Freyja wasn't happy about the apples being used like that. The apple-family man wasn't happy about it either. No one was really happy about it, because it was using the nature their race loves so much to do bad things.
The actions of Windermere were never seen as just to begin with. Don't forget it was a while before they even revealed to the world the truth about the dimensional weapon accident. They begun as the villains and became more nuanced only later.

Windermere is still standing, the NUNS is still standing, Walkyrie is still standing. They had to unite for an episode and that was it. I am not sure how much of the start cluster is even under Windermere's control. At best we are back to episode 1. I am starting to think that they want a sequel, but they could have done everything that there was to be done in this anime. It sold, but it sold very underwhelming compared to Frontier. I am just confused at what the hell are they thinking.

Agreed.
It can't just be justified with the "we originally wanted 1 cour tv + movie" excuse, because I don't even feel like the second cour had a movie's worth of development in it.
If the issue was that they only had plot outlined for the first cour, and thought they could figure out the movie plot afterwards, that's still just as bad.

Very little activity. I guess it is normal with not much of the season being left. Mob Psycho 100 ended now. I think it went too far with some things, but it is overall okay. I would say it is a different experience from the manga, so I can't say it is a good adaptation, but it is a descent anime anyway.

It seems very much like they want a third season, but I don't see who is going to give them one. Or maybe they just wanted to make that last minute twist for the sake of making it? Who knows. But there was definitely no resolution to most of the plot points in this anime. For 24 episodes they did a lot of nothing. It was nicely made and they probably had fun doing it, but there was no impact of any sort to any of it. It is anime just a weird mess.

Ange Vierge was exactly the kind of stupid thing to "watch" while cooking. Half an eye dedicated to it, half an eye to the knife in my hands. No complicated dialogue. Occasional 10/10 moments (pic related, I completely understand her feelings). Breaks every now and then so that you watch the training skits in their full glory (it's like a 10/10 short wedged inside a 4/10 full-episode series). Nice-ish chara designs and okay personali… cardboard cutouts. Repetitive as fuck episode frame that means you don't really cut your fingers from suddenly seeing something new and interesting.

Only problem is after my last afternoon spent in cooking there's too much food, so I can't finish the last two episodes. I tried watching ep10 without cooking, but it took me a whole day to suffer through it.

With them having been fighting only a single Efidolg ship so far I think they would like to make a second season in space. With the help of Netflix it might just happen too.

This is so annoying. 10 minutes of building up a drama and then suddenly cooking during which they have to find two minutes to squeeze in a happy ending. The episodic formula of this anime has gone too far. They didn't even try something different for the last episode, other than introducing Kotori's mother. If I didn't check before watching I was going to be confused it this was the last episode or not.

Males are usually older than their spouses. The mean age for first childbirth for mothers in Japan is around 30. The statistically likely differences then would be 6-7 years with the mother and 23-24 years with the daughter. But it's acceptable to think the teacher is on the young side, far from the average for Japan. I'd still give him at least 30, as going into education probably requires a degree, and probably Tsumugi popped up after he finished it.

Statistics, personal preferences and thoughts about how acceptable age difference scales with the ages in question aside, I probably am annoyed with the anime and want to ship a couple the narrative doesn't seem to be pushing.

When will anime characters learn to kill when they have their enemy on the ground instead of running away?

It seems like the translators finally decided to use Scar-red. In the VN the battle costumes of all the riders are red, which makes more sense. Other than the Silver Surfer guy, he is silver.

They didn't really give a reason why she couldn't go. If anything it looks like she just wanted to stay and die together with the bitch, considering she didn't kill her earlier. Maybe she didn't want to "lose her humanity" in front of Akira. It doesn't change how awkwardly written that scene was.

Because the little they told us about the world and the battle between the two worlds they are done with, but the battle itself is clearly not over.

Granbach seemed too scared of dying to was just pretending and nothing happened for a while after the attack. Here is some speculation based on pictures from the fanbook: there are pictures with darkish forms of the riders, so it is possible that someone will turn bad after losing control of his fusion with his alien. Possible Yosuke or Takuto if still alive.

Well, all up to date. They really shoulda spent way more time building up the relationship between BB and the MC. They knew each other for what, a day before this shit happened?

I am actually angry that just as I expected Seigi decided to also save the princess even though she killed someone he loved dearly. His blind rage was stupid, especially after all the training, but doing a 180 feels just as silly.

I haven't gone 6 months since I first finished the show without rewatching at least a few episodes of this. It still impresses me how weird and artsy the first season can get while still being super enjoyable.

Is that show actually good though? I watched it when I was 10 and enjoyed it but I can't imagine enjoying it now especially with how much bullshit they pull because the game didn't even have actual set in stone rules for a decent amount of time.

It is great. Yes, the first season (first 50 episodes of Yu-Gi-Oh! Duel Monsters) lacks proper rules, but when the Battle City starts (from episode 55) it pretty much follows the rules with very few exceptions. Even so it is more than worth it to go through the first season too.

GX (the next generation) is fun too, but DM is easily superior. GX is based on a heavy use of fusions. Then it comes to 5D's and actually many people think it is better than DM. It is with the new synchro monsters in a dystopian future Domino City (the city where Yugi and friends were in). The next one is Zexal and they tried to go for a little lower demography (borderline teenagers). It is disliked by many, but also most people think it got a lot better in the second half. The newest one is ARC-V. ARC-V actually features easily the most complex story so far with a lot of intrigues and mysteries going around. It is very enjoyable and many people put on the top, but I personally still like DM the most, with 5D's close behind, then closely behind ARC-V, then GX and at the very bottom Zexal.

I think it is overall a very enjoyable franchise with Zexal being the only questionable one.

I was surprised how bad was Ixion Saga DT on a rewatch. Somehow in my mind it had managed to compress down to like 10 episodes of goodness, while cutting out all the unfunny parts. From the whole first half I remembered max 2-3 episodes. Only when they went to that castle where they staged their deaths did I start remembering more of the anime.

But eh, who cares. Mariandale is still fucking great, and Princess is still a miracle of the universe.

Do you want us to try to play together some strategy game as Japan? The idea is for me to be the one in control while following what people here are proposing to do.

The games I recommend are: Darkest Hour, Hearts of Iron 3, Nobunaga's Ambition (SNES), Sengoku and maybe even Total War: Shogun 2.

Darkest Hour with some mod like New World Order (1914-1991) is the game with the most political choices, but without requiring a lot of micromanaging of the army (like HoI3 does) which should work the best for this. Nobunaga's Ambition is a great choice if we want to go for something retro and probably more simplistic.

 No.16693

Well, I only know Shogun 2 to any extent of those, but I'm up for it. it'll be like the shogunates council or some shit.

 No.16694

>>16693
Darkest Hour is a grand strategy, like Europa Universalis for example, except more complex and a different time period. Shogun 2 would be the hardest to work with, because it would be hard to navigate the battles together. In Darkest Hour I can for example post on events (usually there is some political decision to take), you can tell me what you want to research and who do you want to invade or not, to be come more authoritarian, more free, stuff like that. We don't have to conquer the world, just do whatever we want, even if it is for shit and giggles.

To anyone, even if you don't know the games or don't care which one, as long as you have any interest and would like to post in the threads, just say you are interested.

 No.16695

Yeah, sounds like it might be fun. I think you're right that Shogun would probably be silly to try, but I don't really have any preference in games beyond that.
