| Topic | TEEP watches JOJO: ackshually, diamond breaks easily... (progressive spoilers) |
| MorganTJ 08/14/21 6:36:43 PM #126 | Josuke vs Kira is my favorite final fight in the series besides the "that rain sounds like Josuke" thing. Usually, either the Jojo or the villain gets some new ability near the end that prevents the fight from being both characters using their stands to outplay each other. Bites the Dust is interesting because solving enables the fight to happen on its own, and Josuke and Kira's stands have particularly neat interactions against each other. Both characters also get assisted by whatever allies they made along the way - Josuke gets help from his group and Hayato, but Kira also gets his dad and Stray Cat. In particular, Josuke gets to implement his training with Jotaro, when he uses the glass as a projectile just like he learned when he was hunting rats. The fight also just devolves into both characters hiding from each other and flicking things through a window. Usually the final fights tend to start ramping up towards the end, but Josuke and Kira are just too injured toward the end to do anything more than limp towards each other. |
| Topic | any decent high fantasy series where characters don't have British accents? |
| MorganTJ 08/05/21 3:12:22 PM #4 | Deadfire kind of bugged me because the islanders were so fluent in what obviously wasnt their first language. Like I didnt want full blown broken English, but a bit of a thicker accent wouldve helped highlight the culture clash a bit. |

| Topic | Watching Hunter X Hunter for the first time [Ongoing Spoilers] |
| MorganTJ 08/04/21 4:27:13 AM #11 | They do bring up quite a few aspects of Nen (the power system) so I can narrow down the ones that are relevant. In - A technique that allows your nen to become invisible. Gyo - Focusing your aura to a particular part of the body to strengthen it. In particular, focusing it to the eyes allows you to see nen hidden with In. En - Projecting your aura around you to detect things. Zetsu - Stopping your aura from covering your body in order to become harder to detect. Also makes you more vulnerable to damage. Hatsu - Synonymous with nen ability, the actual techniques that they create. Hatsu can be further split into six categories: Enhancer - Using your nen to enhance your physical abilities - do a big punch basically. Also healing. Transmuter - Your nen can take on special properties without being physical. Basically elemental powers. Conjurer - You can use your nen to create physical objects. Basically creating a sword or weapon. Emitter - Your nen can be used at long distances. Usually either projectiles or something that can operate remotely. Manipulator - You can imbue objects or other people with nen. Users are most likely to either bring their own weapons to empower or control peoples' bodies. Specialist - Misc, anything else that doesn't fit any of the other categories. Note that the above categories can and do overlap a bit. I don't know if I would watch this series sped up, this is far from the last exposition dump in the series. |
| Topic | Wanna fill me in on what is happening in the Hunter x Hunter manga? *spoilers* |
| MorganTJ 08/04/21 4:03:58 AM #16 | averagejoel posted... ^good summary without going into too much detail. I'll also add, though, that each prince from the royal family has what's called a Guardian Nen Beast. they get it by completing a ritual, and it's basically a Stand. I believe the Prince (used as a gender-neutral term here; several of them are female) can't see their own beast or something?Thanks, like I said before it's been a while so I'm a bit fuzzy on some of the details. Couldn't figure out when to bring up the nen beasts, since most of them aren't relevant yet. |

| Topic | TEEP watches JOJO: ackshually, diamond breaks easily... (progressive spoilers) |
| MorganTJ 07/26/21 5:30:00 PM #17 | Hell yeah, Part 4's my favorite part. It does take a bit to get going though, and a couple of the first stand encounters aren't particularly enthralling. |
| Topic | Avatar:TLA is so good and a part of me wants to watch Korra |
| MorganTJ 07/26/21 5:25:35 AM #107 | PiOverlord posted... That's fair and true. Although, with earth, he did seem to get the seismic sight down in the end, so that's really impressive. But yeah, far from a master, and probably far from how strong he was by the time he was Korra's age.I could see Aang eventually being able to beat Katara in waterbending, especially since Katara was still a relatively new bender, despite being a master. I don't see Aang being able to beat Toph's eartbending, since it's more than a martial art to her, and Aang's disciplines are spread thinner than being able to just focus on earthbending. Aang could definitely take Zuko as well. I never saw Zuko as a particularly gifted firebender - he was always a better ninja/swordsman than a bender, though. Zuko canonically trained with Piendao to a high level of proficiency before his exile, and at the beginning of this series Iroh was still trying to keep him on learning the firebending basics. |
| Topic | Avatar:TLA is so good and a part of me wants to watch Korra |
| MorganTJ 07/26/21 4:58:12 AM #105 | PiOverlord posted... It just has to do with the time-scale of the shows probably. With Korra, we see she knows 3 of the 4 right when we see her, but then we don't see how long it takes for her to truly be good at them. Then, it only takes one season for her to finally "complete" her training (not counting the spiritual training, and actually mastering air of course). Still, she's like 18 by the time she even learns air I'm pretty sure, and probably much older before she masters it.For what it's worth, I never got the idea that Aang had actually mastered all four elements by the series' end. He obviously mastered air and definitely water, but he hadn't been doing firebending for that long, and I believe Toph remarks at one point that his earthbending could still use some work later in the series. I thought that was part of the reason why they were originally going to wait out Sozin's Comet and confront the Firelord when Aang was actually prepared. I'm sure to the average layperson in-universe he would be considered a master, but not to the extent of previous Avatars that trained with the best benders in the world for years and years. But yeah, definitely stick around for Book 3. |

| MorganTJ 07/26/21 2:35:49 AM #97 | TheShadowViper posted... Are you sure you know what that "yin and yang thing" you speak of is? Since the Vaatu/Raava relationship is very similar.Do you? It's not supposed to be good and evil, it's a whole lot of opposites. The point is that Vaatu is blatantly evil, when Spirits shouldn't even have conventional human morality, but Vaatu just wants everything to be worse. Yin and yang are supposed to exist in harmony, which Raava and Vaatu never did. The Moon and Ocean spirits were better examples of that relationship. |

| MorganTJ 07/25/21 5:28:06 PM #93 | PiOverlord posted... I get it's yin/yang but I just feel turning the spirit world into light vs dark turns it into a tired trope.It's not even just a yin and yang thing - Vaatu winning is bad for everyone. There's nothing ambiguous about it. |

| MorganTJ 07/25/21 5:06:25 PM #91 | PiOverlord posted... Ngl, I think the Avatar would be better if it was the spirit of the world. I don't really dig this light vs darkness thing.Common criticism of the Wan subplot, a lot of people weren't happy with how little nuance the Raava/Vaatu relation had. |

Can you imagine making some canned ravioli and then eating the can as some kind of gourmet flex? There is no way eating gold is good for you.It's not that it's not good for you, it's more like it's not bad. Gold is harmless to ingest in small quantities, but it is still stupid. |

You can find quite a few flaws in LoK's writing, but it's odd to think of her as good at everything when she spends most of the series getting bodied by the main antagonist of each season. She also constantly makes controversial political decisions that everyone hates her for |

| MorganTJ 07/14/21 3:51:04 PM #4 | Id argue that Valentine wasnt a time manipulator either - both villains in the new continuity were more causality manipulating stands, or space manipulating stands if you want to include D4Cs main powerset. |

| MorganTJ 07/08/21 4:02:55 PM #16 | Smackems posted... Here's the thing... That is by far the least interesting aspect of it to me lol. Just how long does it last?I would still recommend rereading the Golden Age arc. I forget how much material the movies cut out, but it definitely cut out more than the 90s anime and the anime still cut out like two and a half volumes of material. |
| Topic | VTuber General 9: The dragon that pierced the heavens |
| MorganTJ 07/05/21 6:03:59 PM #65 | I would recommend clips to start with, since they tend to lead to collab clips and you'll cover more ground on who sounds interesting to you that way. I also really like the karaoke streams if you just wanna throw something on in the background. Personal favorites are Gura, Calliope, Marine, Towa, and Suisei off the top of my head. Also Astel from Holostars - there aren't really clips of his karaoke streams, but they happen often enough, and he always throws in a bunch of Disney songs (in English). |

| Topic | No anime has given me more blue balls than Berserk |
| MorganTJ 07/02/21 4:47:43 AM #16 | Berserk 2016-2017 starts with the third main arc of the series - you're not watching a prequel by watching the previous arcs, you basically started the series 90 chapters into the story. Also not sure how you heard that the 90s anime was bad when the 2016-17 series is considered the worst adaptation of the series by far. The best way to experience the story is the manga, but the 1990 anime is good too (though it'll blue ball you way worse than 2017), and the movie trilogy was decent from what I remember of it. |

Jotaro is most quotable and just freaking cool JoestarThe World kicked with Dio's bad leg, and the synchronized damage that Dio took from The World's leg being punched caused him to explode. Stands tend to shatter when they're broken, so that's sort of why Dio took more damage from his stand's leg being broken rather than when his own leg got busted. Also he pissed Jotaro off. |

| Topic | Just watched the 25 eps of Berserk |
| MorganTJ 06/24/21 12:08:43 AM #28 | I actually can't believe that the Berserk 2016-2017 series is being defended. There were a few scenes that that actually looked decent, and the movies show the CG can work for the series. It's just that the 2016 series looks absolutely terrible. There's nothing wrong with considering them terrible adaptations. |

It makes sense that they're skipping Simon since Richter's story has more characters to play around with, but leaving Simon completely out is bizarre. They could show snippets of Simon's story and that should be enough. |
