Ppl straight up misinterpreting this ending by saying it's supposed to be an infinite cycle thing
The whole point is that it shows the change from the first chapter
why are time loops supposed to be some kind of big existential dread thing. oh you have to do the same stuff every day and it prevents you from making any meaningful progress in your life? me too buddy it's called a job
The thing about the 'quiet sadness of Mario Galaxy' type video essay titles that everyone makes fun of is that they're usually the only videos that actually have any thoughts on the subject material and the 'analysis of X' ones are just poorly disguised plot summaries
guys who are like 'i learned a little bit of japanese and now im noticing all the subtitles are wrong' are really funny maybe you should try learning a bit more japanese
mangadex DMCA is a perfect example of my issues with intellectual property rights cause it happened to series that weren't licensed, had no intention of being licensed, nobody was even profiting off them
It was to nobody's benefit, wholly for exclusion and preventing access
trans nokotan is a really funny discussion cause it seems extremely obvious that the author didn't intend anything in particular by it and yet 'only male deer have antlers' is such a compelling, undeniable fact
It sounds so pretentious to say but I do genuinely think half of people's issues with JJK are just expecting it to be written like other shonen manga and then getting mad when it's not instead of trying to meet the story on its own level
I've never quite understood the "anime also sounds bad in Japanese you just don't understand the language" idea because is there any other country where you can just straight up say all of their cartoons have bad voice acting and people are like "sooo true"
People saying to watch more fate stuff is so funny like yeah they do whitewash him in every subsequent entry good for you but I still think rape is evil sorry
The fuck do you mean 'out of context' the whole point of the scene is for subhuman neanderthals like you to point and laugh at the fact that she's naked. That is the context. She has no clothes on
The main issue is that people think "localisation" is somehow a meaningfully different thing to "translation", thus leading to takes like "why don't they simply translate the text correctly instead of deliberately changing it"
As a Qatari I’m proud of what happened.
I don’t know when will the westerners realize that their values aren’t universal. There are other cultures with different values that should be equally respected.
Let’s not forget that the West is not the spokesperson for humanity.
>Parents dead when she was a kid
>Sister basically got abducted
>Her guardian is Kotomine fucking Kirei
>She has to perform all the duties of the head of a mage household and keep up a normal school life as a 17yo
'shes the most well adjusted FSN character' THE BAR IS IN HELL
genuinely the strangest and one of the most frustrating misconceptions I’ve seen about Fate is the idea that Rin Tohsaka has lived a good and lucky life and isn’t horribly lonely and depressed
like please think for a second what her family situation might have done to her😭
just heard about mangadex. I don't know what to say. every interaction I had with them, it was a veritable ray of sunshine. I still remember sitting by the lake, tracing reeds across the water's surface and promising that those beautiful days of summer would last forever
Many of my oomfs are decrying the idea of video games having an "easy mode" for accessibility reasons, despite the fact that I regularly witness them playing visual novels on "easy mode" (english-translated). Curious.
im sorry but if you have a 2000 dollar JAV collection that you post reviews of on your twitter account at a certain point it stops having anything to do with sex
Be real honest, if your bf is still resorting to porn with actual people like JAV, that screams to me that someone isn't putting out sexuallu. The fact that the comments seem universally on the side of the GF is wild.
It's so funny whenever they release a new nadeko illust with long hair and a kuchinawa accessory it makes it look like she's about to fucking lose it in the middle of a marketing campaign
For some reason, "itadakimasu" is the arch-enemy of localizers.
How hard is it to just write "thanks for the food"?
Why do the characters instead get localized to say idiotic shit like "CHEW ATTACK!" or aged-like-milk pop culture references like "GET IN MAH BELLY!" ...?
& that is ultimately what property rights are for, they don't defend your right to have anything they just give you the power to prevent other people from benefiting from it
certain gacha fans like to pretend that they are doing something in any way more respectable than other gacha fans because 'the designs aren't as fanservicey' or 'the characters don't all want to fuck the protagonist' but fundamentally you're still collecting JPEGs lmao
>Makes a story that takes place in an alternate timeline to mobile for no reason
>Releases many servants that players are jealous of not getting in mobile
>Has a banger collab event with mobile
>Refuses to elaborate
>Leaves
never been a fan of when people are like 'how could you be a fan of X and still be a bigot' as if their favourite fictional work is the communist manifesto and not an eroge or something
If you want stories with uncontroversially praised endings that meet all of your expectations please try reading a genre other than long running shonen manga btw
Fgo not having autofarm is seriously some stone age shit
Like I don't care what restrictions you want to put on it or how hard it should be to unlock
I shouldn't have to spend 15 minutes repeatedly running the QP node every morning
Hot take but I would never understand RZ artstyle hate "It's Too moe or cute Therefore it's targeted only for lolicons" Well that's Ur issue.
If anything that cute colourful style bring a contrast to the horror elements & make it creepier. Highly acclaimed series that proved it👇
do we seriously think this was like a sensitive portrayal of sexual assault. its supposed to be crass and titillating. it leans into the horror elements and also does a stupid joke about bananas
gotta love the 'all characters appearing in this work are over the age of 18' disclaimer for FSN cause its only true for one of these 4 and i'll give you a hint its the one that doesn't even have a sex scene
FGO fans will see you express a desire for your favourite character to get more of a spotlight and their first thought is to be like 'oh yeah well what about Glup Shitto, my favourite bronze servant, who was added in 2016 and hasn't even gotten a summer version yet'
Terrible post for various reasons obviously but the idea of still repping something you liked when you were 13 is insane to me. That's a different guy. Why would I trust their opinions they're 13
met a trans girl online who sucks ass at fighting games, terrible in the support role and has below average Pokemon knowledge like girl did you just not get the message
Cause so many critiques are just 'gege didnt do this thing that I wanted to see' and when you ask why it's an issue it's always some vague shit about how this or that element of the story needs to be elaborated on cause of how important it is
Her only character traits are being obsessed with Shirou and being bitter/envious towards the world, and while it makes sense in context, the fact that the resolution basically keeps her this way makes her rlly bland to me.
fate fans will be like 'the vn is too long and boring to make people start with' and then recommend a 25 episode tv anime and 3 theatrical releases. just rewatch eva at that point there are better things to do with your time
the way people talk about 'media literacy' annoys me not because interpretation isn't a learned skill but because the discourse assumes that once you find the 'correct' meaning of a text you're obliged to agree with it
You call it sexist all you like but I have never seen a girl have a good take on ubw. The female condition means they simply don’t find value in shirou’s journey.
Just now noticed that the friend that i'm desperetly trying to get into more VNs and eroge Is ironically asexual lol.
So bassically:
"Yeah, Bro, you should definelty get into this genre of japanese porn, its peak " to an asexual guy
Shirou haters when I tell them he isn't stupid and his poor decisions are a result of suicidal stubbornness as a result of his past trauma which is addressed in the story as each route portrays him facing reality and moving on from his flawed self-conception in different ways
FGO player tell me what is the Servant who caught your attention THE SECOND you saw them??
Doesn't have to be your fave, but the one who caught you lacking
The Past and Future of Emiya Shirou
This is my contribution to Shirou Day, even if it’s a bit late. Today, I want to talk about a couple elements of Shirou that tend to be underappreciated.
Umamusume is so funny like yeah we made a gacha game based on the real life horse racing industry in case you wanted more gambling in your gambling. Also they will copyright strike you if you draw suggestive art of the characters. All your transgender mutuals love it btw
But like Sukuna has been conveyed as a character without getting a backstory, jujutsu society has been conveyed as a setting without getting info on all of the main clans, the impact of Gojo's death as an event was conveyed without showing the slash directly
