The license situation here is, like, double fucked thanks to Evangelion drama in general and Geneon being caputs, so I'm not surprised really.

Would be interesting if it were mostly the same VAs. Spike Spencer is pretty adamant about coming back as Shinji if he can.

The problem with the original dub was that the script was great, but the VAs were bad. Hope they get new people.

Megalobox beated. There were a lot of things I didn't like about this show, so I'm going to start with the good parts.

1. The music. Holy shit did this sound good. The songs were great, and the show knew how to use them to make moments cooler. I loved it. It's not the sort of music I'd listen to on its own or anything, but it was perfect in context. The rap songs were awesome too. Possibly the best music of any anime this year.

2. The style. The animation was all really good, and the low resolution felt better than I thought it would. There were a bunch of moments throughout the show that felt super cool because of the way they were presented. The bridge confrontation in the first episode was absolutely incredible. I wasn't really feeling the show until then, but that made me regret taking so long to watch it. Those cool moments are the main things that kept me from having a 100% negative opinion of the series.

Because I hated pretty much everything else about it. The characters were all garbage. Not even one of them was the slightest bit interesting. They were pretty much all cyphers and any 'development' they got was pretty much meaningless. Joe wasn't even a person. The story was pretty trash in general. I hated the debt storyline, and any time the criminal dude showed up I just wanted to fast forward because of how lame his plot was. Most of the twists that happened were just shitty. Yuri fighting gearless in the final fight was the cap on all the extreme dumbness.

And then there's the setting. None of it made any sense. All the "non-citizen" stuff from the start was dumb and I wish it didn't exist, and they just ignored it for most of the series anyway. More importantly, megalo boxing as a sport is just the dumbest thing. If you fought with all that extra power and no armor, every fight would end with fatalities (people die in regular boxing and they'd die way more often if people were hitting that much harder). With that in mind, Joe fighting without a gear was extra dumb, especially since he can't block right. His arm bones would be shattered from blocking and he'd be dead a dozen times over. He wasn't even that heavy: there's a reason that people don't fight above their weight class in boxing, which is that they'd basically always lose. The gears just exacerbate that disparity. Bleh.

Ended up giving it a 4/10, since it had the stylish thing down at least.

It was really good and 100 times more depressing than I was really ready for

This was my main problem with the game. Playing it made me feel very unhappy. I can understand that it has good qualities, and it isn't the worst game ever, but I'm pretty sure playing it made me feel worse than any game I've ever played, so I pretty much hated it and consider it the worst game I played last year.

Honestly, I dont remember a ton about this series. In the picture I just posted I only remember two of the characters. I barely know who the little girl is, but I have no clue about the woman. Most of the series is fairly standard (but good) modern fantasy action. The characters have good interactions, the fights are fun, and the villains are solid. IIRC, its mostly episodic, but theres a bigger story slowly building in the background. Around halfway through the series, that story takes over, and the show gets much better. Everything turns darker than before, building up to one of the greatest endings in any anime. Honestly, the ending is pretty much the entire reason the show is this high. I cried a lot when I watched it Though at least one of the endings for anime Ive yet to rank made me cry more, maybe two of them? Anyway, its awesome and perfect and I loved it. An amazing ending probably isnt enough for this show to deserve such a high ranking, but endings can make a huge difference for me in how I perceive a show.

Hmm, that's both fair and not. What I mean is this: the game acts like Osborne is obviously evil. Lots of people treat him as an evil guy. But he doesn't actually do much evil stuff, so it doesn't make any sense that everyone treats him that way. It would've made more sense for the game to have him do some more evil stuff, and have the characters think he was evil because of the stuff he did. Honestly, it's even worse in CS2.

Yeah, for KnK7 it was more about killing being bad because it hurts a person to kill someone rather than because it's immoral. I mean, we see this in real life too, where soldiers or cops or regular people killing to defend themselves or others will still be severely traumatized by the act. I liked the movie a lot just because it succeeded in being very emotional. And I love the ending song. For a while it made me cry every time I listened to it.

Trails series spoilers up to where dowolf is.

Osborne being presented so ominously in Cold Steel is very strange IMO. The player knows all sorts of bad stuff about him thanks to the previous games, but the characters in CS have basically no reason to believe that's the case. CS1 is still my favorite Trails game, but Osborne as the villain is presented extremely strangely.

Also the existence of CS still makes the ending of Ao really dumb. augh why is that a thing

For the party members thing, yes. But Falcom is really dumb about this for some reason. They handle the big party pretty well in CS1, but it gets way bigger in CS2, which is a bad thing. Then CS3 tones it down, and apparently CS4 has the biggest party of any Trails game. Wish they'd learn their lesson...

Best of luck to anyone rolling on Ishtar, particularly Mac who is apparently prepared with an ungodly amount of quartz. >_>

I kinda cheated with my total, since that includes the value of all my Summon Tickets converted to SQ (like 85 tickets = 255 SQ). I also have two google play gift cards that I'm finally redeeming, so yeah, it'll be a lot. I've had pretty good luck with saving so far (120 SQ to get Jalter, I think 180 for Ibaraki? I guess 180 for a rate-up 4* is mediocre luck), so hopefully this'll go well.

I made a write-up about it after I finished if you're curious about my detailed thoughts: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vGe-IDm6zQ-E4to4BBSFAa5ZiZkXK1jwVTSscPeGaIA/edit?usp=sharing

With regard to the rating thing: my ratings are based on personal feelings, not the objective quality of work. If something is a complete failure in all respects I generally won't hate it. It has to show signs of potential and draw me in if it wants me to truly despise it. A completely broken game can't do that. I might play it for a few minutes and then just stop because it's unplayable and forget it existed. Being a Final Fantasy game sets my expectations much higher to start with, and there were some appealing things about the concept of FFXV. I just didn't like any of what it did with them.

You David Cage thoughts are a bit confusing too. Like, if you hate the story, does it really matter how competent the rest of the game is? His games are pretty much 100% story.

I haven't played that game. You wouldn't say the worst game you played in the last 10 years deserves a 2/10?
---

All the stars in the sky are waiting for you.

No. I hated on X a lot, but I consider it like a 7/10 game. I've been tempted to play it on PC since the biggest flaw is the awful voice acting.

XV would get maybe a 2 or 3 from me.
