Surely, /qa/ recognizes this butt or on the other hand bulge, right? Nier and Automata were the only Yoko Taro games I'd actually played before deciding to go and finish each of them in their entirety. And while similar to Drakengard in story quality, the gameplay for these RPGs actually sucks you in.

So what experience or opinions does /qa/ have with the series, or Taro in general? Automata's got an anime out right now that I've been putting on hold until I beat everything, but maybe people have seen and enjoyed it as well.

Yep, you're right. Holy hell that's one game I never want to full clear again. Ending E was a great end though a bit trolly, but actually getting all the secrets and grinding dragon levels for hours and hours on end to beat ending B is a process that just sucks.

I often see this opinion, but don't really understand it. I'm actively working towards 100% completion in Drakengard 1 after getting all endings, I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish. Do people really hate the gameplay that much?

The gameplay itself isn't that bad, and I daresay the dragon combat is better than most games. But the amount of times I opened up and redid 5-3 for half an hour really drained me.

I was not expecting this from Tasokare Hotel at all. Thought it was going to be a fun mystery show, all the guests solve their mysteries and go back to their respective worlds; but the latest episode turned pretty dark...
A serial killer manipulating one JK to kill her BFF by telling her her death wasn't an accident but her BFF's ploy to kill her. Only for the BFF to commit seppuku from the guilt of having accidentally killed the JK. Which then leads the JK to go to HELL for killing someone in the hotel... very much unexpected turn of events.
Might be the best anime this season.

The ending was nice. A stack of conveniences, but nice.
The work at Tasokare Hotel buys you time to revert back IRL?
They conveniently had just enough time to go back to save Atri?
"Oh you don't have your memory of the Tasokare Hotel if you go out the door, but if you use this elevator you can keep your memory intact!"
Monkey demon had a box that opens the gates to hell, which he didn't use to take a glimpse at it for some reason, and opted to having someone get killed for the gates of hell to open


But, in the end, Neko even gets to go on a date with Ruri IRL!

Finished it. Yep, it's the show of the season. Medalist is cute, but a show with a great story and characters really puts Tasokare at the top.
The end was a bit too convenient to see time travel pop up, but I guess it was mentioned early on. It was just my assumption that the "time" mentioned was something added to their lifespan. But, it was still a very satisfying ending. Episode titles really should be less direct. Episode 11 named something like "Pistol and Hell" and 12 was "Revenge". That's not something people should see in the opening of the episode.
It really makes me wonder what the phone game was like, but it's not translated, so meh. It's not going to be as good if you already know how everything ends.
I hope we see more from Neko's VA as her anime career is fairly old but bare.

Sugu is just probability. If you crunched the numbers, you'd have seen she was the character most likely to win in the long run. Her victories just leave a mark because her results are almost always either winning big or losing big, which is what makes her fun to play.

So the DDDDD thread made me realize that kissu doesn't really have any threads dedicated to manga that I could find. The focus seems to be too much on seasonal anime. I realize that this is because manga is much harder to find/follow than seasonal stuff as there are no clear guidelines for it and Westerners don't read comics nearly as much as the Japanese do.

Anyway, what manga have you been reading recently? I just read the latest chapter of Shimeji Simulation a few days ago. As with anything made by Tsukumizu so far it is great. Definitely recommend it to everyone here and I do hope it eventually gets an anime adaption as well like SSR.

I read an unexpectedly fucked up novel, but I can't share it with anyone without spoiling it because it's supposed to be cute and sweet before it goes down unexpected roads, but there's no moment of suspense to psychologically torture you if you see everything coming when you're supposed to second guess yourself over and over...

The new rurouni kenshin looks flippin GOOD (Although not on the level of Tsuioku good but that's impractical). Which is nice for me because depending on how much they adapt this is probably up in my top 3 greatest battle shounens of all time. Would be amazing if this goes beyond just re-adapting what the anime already covered and properly doing justice to the later manga arcs because that's the greatest fault of the original IMO. Although the new OP is definitely no sobakasu..... It's hard to top a 10/10 opening I wish the new one was at least comparable...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JQ8O5g2RXI

Anyways, with this I kinda wonder what /qa/ thinks about the uptick in higher budget remakes of older anime? I find it a bit worrying because of the precedent Hollywood set with it, but everything so far has been pretty quality (This, Urusei Yatsura, Mahoujin Guru Guru come to mind). Also as a positive it seems that these new remakes, if source material has updated since the original, are doing more the Brotherhood style of remake in which they adapt the source material more accurately and to its conclusion instead of just being an advertisement. In a way I think I'd actually prefer more of these since I hate the way so many older anime are just sitting in the "next season never" bin and if a full remake is what's needed to see them adapted to finish then so be it. I will happily eat up the Spice and Wolf remake if that's what'll be done as well.

I watched Rurouni Kenshin a few weeks ago (the original release), it held up really well and I say that as someone with no nostalgia for it because it was my first time watching. I don't understand why there is a remake in the first place. I haven't watched the remake though.

The openings and endings are phenomenal (wasnt too fond of ED2, but it may just have been utterly outshined the best ones).

It used to come up a lot more when an anime came out, whether anime should try to be more faithful to the source material when adapting even if they weren't going to cover the rest of the story of a manga. I think back then I was more partial towards the faithful camp, because I had more hope for sequels to good series back then that'd continue the series towards its more intended end.

Now though, that wish has been more or less fulfilled with most adaptations sticking close to the source material whether they end on a more conclusive note or not. But at times it feels like that was a monkey paw of sorts. Since now series simply last forever, and there's an infinite amount of different LN/Manga adaptations flowing out the gates each season with zero hope of getting a sequel. They'll always end feeling half-finished (because they are) and plenty of buildup there could be that's packed into the adaptation that has no relevance til later arcs is also left untouched. This leading to the entire anime somewhat suffering for it because it feels more like you wasted your time watching a "Read more by buying the source!" ad than anything. And honestly, when it comes to what studios are adapting nowadays, I feel like scriptwriters in these anime studios could do a far better job with the source material given to them than the majority of LN authors could do with their work.

What were they thinking? It's like they couldn't figure out how to make a full-length game so they just split into five different teams and stuck all the resulting minigames together to pad things out. It's super frustrating because the core gameplay is still fun and they clearly proved they could have made a much better game, but they just didn't and covered all the good stuff in as much tedium and distraction as possible.

I think it's because it's something you can add to make it seem like there's more to any game and it gives a sense of progression, but it seems like it takes away more than it adds. Half the upgrades in this game are completely pointless, like a bunch of HP increases and making the stupid dog marginally better at things he's never going to be doing, a few are critical to the core gameplay and make the first bit of the game feel really awkward until you can get them, and then the rest are OP shit that negates the strategy and technique you spent the earlier bits learning. Maybe they want to have that dopamine hit from a big "side quest complete" and need a spendable resource to enable that, but when the gameplay itself is fun you don't need to encourage players to interact with it.
