KLK was targeted at adult men. Many adult men enjoy shounen elements, though. Like, Nanoha has a lot of elements in common with Precure, but it's definitely not targeted at little girls.
---

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

KLK is not shounen, and there are plenty of all-female action series, and it still has some fanservice issues (mainly I hate the way the breasts bounce in the transformation scenes. Like, what the fuck is that? It looks so bad). It's a great show with great characters though, yes. Still, if you're bringing up stuff like KLK, you might as well talk about Madoka or Nanoha or whatever instead.

Finished reading the Ore Monogatari/My Love Story manga. For the stuff that was in both the anime and manga, the quality was mostly similar, or the anime was slightly better, but the manga was still great for that stuff. One example with the anime being better was the bakery plotline. The guy comes off as a bit creepy in the manga I think, but in the anime his voice acting for his internal monologue is so over the top that every scene with him is hilarious. Unfortunately the post-anime manga stuff has a worse hit to miss ratio than the earlier stuff. There are still great chapters, like the one with Yamato's school festival where Takeo becomes a police officer. That was amazing 10/10 MLS at its finest. But there was another chapter with Sunahara's sister's creepy stalker (who is the worst and I hate that he's treated like a good person), and one of the later major storylines, about a transfer student, is pretty weird. The final arc had some ups and downs, but was handled decently enough I think. One thing that keeps the series good even when the plot isn't so great is that it has its bases locked down so hard. Just scenes of Takeo hanging out with Suna or Yamato are always awesome, and Takeo's little sister is awesome whenever she's on screen (I wish she'd gotten a chapter focused on her or something). I feel like the last chapter should've been something more normal too - not far in the future or whatever, but just a chapter of their happy life at university together or whatever. Oh well. Great manga, though I wouldn't really rec it over the anime.

Violence, gore, and nudity don't have anything to do with whether a series has strong female characters or not.

pj isn't only talking about strong female characters

he's wondering why there is this explosion of waifu-ism in the anime community

he doesn't understand why battle shounen has to have girls in skimpy costumes

I believe what he was saying that a lot of the female character representation in anime comes through fanservice heavy series or moe SoL anime or whatever, which has problems in its own way. Going back to Soul Eater though, I don't think I'd say the girls in that were in particularly skimpy costumes, so shounen fighting series definitely don't have to have the girls be in fanservice-oriented roles.

I'm more fine with it knowing that Gon never gets his powers back, but I thought he was going to be able to fight just as well later, so it felt like BS at the time.

I mean the real reason is probably that otaku care more about girl VAs which is why theyre used for a lot of male characters. You rarely ever see the opposite where a guy voices a girl character in anime even if shes acting, dressing and talking like a guy

I don't really think that's the case, considering that it's also true of Western cartoons. Adult women are just better at sounding like little boys than grown men are.

sex sells, and the target audience whether they're teens/young adults/old men, all like tits and ass

remember that your favorite magazine isn't catering to you, in your mid 20s, it's called "Shounen" Jump for a reason

You're oversimplifying things quite a bit there, and your first line kinda contradicts the second. Part of the problem is that pandering to certain audiences in certain ways just makes things worse over time, and creates a bigger audience for that thing.

Because anime's sexist in general? There aren't many series out there with equal representation for men and women. As far as shounen action goes, I can't really think of any solid examples other than Soul Eater?

Lack of important female characters is definitely a flaw in HxH. Heck, I think YYH probably did better for women than HxH did, despite being an older series. Kurapika being female certainly would've been an improvement.

Heaven's Feel is not very good. It's not bad, but even an MLB Heaven's Feel gives a lower bonus than a regular Black Grail... Golden Sumo is definitely a much better CE in general. Joint Recital, the Nerofest 2018 CE, is also quite a bit better.

Some more for PS4:

Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age
Kingdom Hearts 1.5+2.5+2.8
Nioh
Odin Sphere Leifthrasir
Ys VIII: Lacrimosa of DANA (think this is coming to Switch soon too)
Guilty Gear Xrd

There's a few coming out in Fall too, like Dragon Quest 11 and the new Spiderman.

Also I assume you don't have any good 5* Gacha CEs MLB'd. I mean like, Victor of the Moon MLB rules on Buster Crit Servants, but getting a good 5* Gacha CE MLB'd takes a lot of luck (or whaling).
---

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

So, one of the key things to look for in CEs is the stats they give. Some of them are 100% attack/0% HP, some 60/40, some 0/100. For your offensive Servants, you want the CE to have as much Attack as possible, since offense is way more important than defense in FGO (it's one of the reasons that you don't want to use a 2030 on your attacker - it's incredibly useful, but it only gives HP. It's also the reason Bond CEs are bad - they only give 100 attack and 100 HP). At level 100, Golden Sumo gives a bonus of 2000 Attack, which means your Servant with not so great stats is suddenly a monster on par with much higher rarity Servants. This is awesome on everyone, of course, but it makes an even bigger difference on weaker Servants - going from 9000 to 11000 ATK is much bigger than going from 14000 to 16000 (though the latter is still awesome).

The 15% ATK boost is 15% no matter what, yeah.
---

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

Oh, I just mean it's not as good for Support Servants, and there might be other specific CEs that are good for specific fights. Golden Sumo is basically always good in basically every fight though. It's actually kinda better on low base attack Servants, and no regular attack buff is also a plus, but it's still great even on someone like Jalter.

Are there any 3d platformers that are just stuff like the time rift levels in this or the "secret" levels in Sunshine?

Those are always my favorites. No world building or logistics, just random platforms in space.

You could check out Super Cloudbuilt. It's not quite the same style of game (more like a mix between Sonic and Mirror's Edge), but it's just pure gameplay the whole time with a fun focus on speed. I actually liked it even more than Hat in Time.

Hey Roba have you considered watching Ore Monogatari/My Love Story?
---

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

Storywise I'd definitely say Awakening > Conquest > Birthright > Revelations, but I quite liked the story in both of the first two. Awakening has my second favorite story of the FE games I've played, which is everything released in America from FE7 onwards excluding Shadow Dragon (Radiant Dawn is my favorite). I like the characters in every Fire Emblem game I've played. Fates has its fair share of bad characters, but it has a lot of great ones too.

I mean, Fates definitely has its fair share of flaws - most of which I'd attribute to the three game gimmick, personally - but I got a lot of enjoyment out of it, too. Particularly Conquest.

I still have yet to play Cold Steel, but I definitely understand now why people say that Crossbell and Cold Steel spoil each other. (plot spoiler)

Azure's ending was so weird. All that climax, and then the bizarre epilogue stuff. The game would've been better off without it, and it would've spoiled Cold Steel less too. If not for that, the ending would've been solid, but no, it's probably the worst ending for a Trails game I've played (which is all of them other than CS3).

The Azure fan-TL is half-edited at least btw, so it's not nearly as bad as Zero's, lol.

I figured out the culprit in P4 immediately. I think before the first murder happened <_<

But as is, it just feels like any future releases are far off in the future and part of me despairs at it all and just wants to experience it in some way. And for Crossbell just pure despair. >_>

Both Crossbell games got fantranslations, so that's something.
