File:Code Geass Roze of the Rec….jpg (140.67 KB,1280x720)

 No.129374[Reply]

I was worried about the new Geass because of that one post about it being not as good, but watching the first ep it was pretty much what I'd want out of Geass (maybe a bit more fanservice would be nice though). It was over the top, full of style, and most importantly fun. That's the one thing that made Geass the masterpiece it was, it was a masterclass in bringing fun to the audience and getting you excited. If this anime can bring back that feeling of hype and not get into the weeds about 'proper writing' this/ironic meta references that then it should be great.

Looking forwards to the rest of this. Also the CG wasn't bad at all.

Oh is that why it exists? Anime stuff funded by gacha are usually passion projects, though, since the profits can't compare. A JPEG could make more money than every BD sale combined.
Huh, that's weird. But yeah, this is really stupid. I do want to see where it goes, but it's not like I'm invested in the characterse or world. More of a "so bad it's good" kind of thing.

What on earth gave you that idea? Gacha are soulless cashgrabs in every respect, nobody is passionate enough about them to make a full anime about it. In fact, the best gacha anime are the ones that take advantage of the fact that nobody cares about the anime as anything except a way to get the name in people's heads to make an original story that has next to nothing to do with the gacha.

That said, there is no reason to think Roze exists to sell the gacha. It's likely just part of their CG revival plan since no successful IP can go unbeaten these days.

I thought I gave my reasoning there...
If you have a successful enough gacha there's no reason to do anything else with the IP because nothing else will compare to gacha's free money. The only reason to make an anime or video game from a gacha is basically for fun. X amount of money spent on the anime adaptation would be more productive being spent on the gacha by uhh... I don't know, hiring some new artists or running a new ad campaign on tiktok or whatever.
I'm not sure how animation studios think about gacha adaptations. Work is work, I guess. Yostar Pictures mostly did gacha adaptations but they seem to moving up in the world with Sentai Daishikkaku and assistance credits on stuff like Dungeon Meshi.

True, but you have to factor in how much an anime will increase the eyes on your gacha and get them hooked on it. It's not like the anime can't possibly bring in more money for the companies.

The Code Geass director has quite the directorial history. But it seems like he struck gold with the original Geass in terms of original work. After that I don't think any of his originals have been anything amazing.

The director is 20 years older too, probably lost some fiery creative spirit or something. Probably could still competently direct an adaptation or something.

It is kind of slow, but the girls are nice. The combat isn't amazing, but the skill system was kind of cool. There's a dating system, too. Play it for the girls.

Gameplay was hideously boring to me, but again cute girls and there's something like dating. Good for escapism. That one gif with the little chibi-like girl with the fan that detaches and spins away is from this. But man, the dungeons really dragged on and weren't engaging at all.

I've tried some of these games in the past on PSP and found them incredibly hard, as someone who is decent at other rhythm games like Taiko and Project Diva and always plays them on the highest difficulty. Maybe the learning curve is just steeper. But this doesn't seem like a good choice for a beginner to the genre.

>Etrian Odyssey
They're pretty good, would definitely recommend. I don't think these games are particularly hard, it's just that they offer you a huge amount of freedom in character building, and as a consequence it's possible to screw yourself over, so you need to be somewhat meticulous with skill point allocation and all that. You can read up on different classes and skills on wikis or GameFAQs, or if you ask here I can also give you some general pointers.

I know this is far from an unpopular opinion, but Frank Zappa is the best. He'd compose some of the most sophisticated Western music of the 20th century, and then name it things like "The Grand Wazoo" because he could.

I find it interesting that most of what he did was jazz and rock, because his background is classical, as are his biggest influences. It's one of those things you can really hear as soon as you're told.

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.

I want to nakadashi *girl* has become a popular phrase on imageboards (mostly 4chan). But it's a mix of Japanese and English. If I was going to say "I want to cum inside Holo" fully in Japanese, how would I go about doing that? In the English sentence, nakadashi is a loan word and it is the action being done, but in Japanese I don't think 中出し is a verb. Can it be verbified by adding する to it? And then you conjugate it to say you "want" to do it. So the end result would be 私はホロで中出ししたい which would translate to I want to cum inside Holo. Am I correct?

Japanese is fun to learn.

but learning kanji is fun! I didn't even plan to learn Japanese, I was also too intimidated by the writing system. I just wanted to know a little of the basics like their phonetic alphabets and then numbers and what is a male and female bathroom door in Japan because that one is pretty useful, and it just kinda snowballed from there because it was fun to learn.
With a memory program like Anki you can make it into a memory game. Tons of decks to help learning hiragana/katakana and some basic kanji and core vocabulary (kaishi 1.5k is good, but the kanji will be a bit difficult to differentiate in the beginning I think. There's also a radical deck for the kaishi deck can use to help with that).

It is difficult in the beginning not going to lie, but it somehow gets easier instead of more difficult. You build a sixth sense for what's what. Learning new words gets easier over time. I started super slow and just kinda went faster over time.

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.

Very nice! One of the modern /qa/ classics if I do say so much. Even if the story becomes dumb if it keeps the fantastic atmosphere it will still be worth a watch. Such a fantastic use of colors and highlights and all that other stylish stuff to make the night look so vibrant.

I wasn't a fan of it panning to other characters like >>121392, but I think that's what people were talking about so... oh well. It will probably still look nice.

Alright, but when are they making Mieruko-chan S2? I need it. Also Youjo Senki S2 is still in the works as well... When are any of these sequels actually going to come out...

That's around where I dropped the manga. I take it that's what "editor'd" references too?
