    They're both great in all honestly, it's hard to call which one of them is better. Myotismon/Raiden Mustache is definitely better though (English).

    I could never find an MLP fanfic that struck the right balance with the Ponies, they were either too strong or too weak. Like I read a Digimon one where they couldn't even beat Adult level Digimon, but there will also be one-shots where Starlight Glimmer can solo MCU Thanos. :kobeha Even from a non-power level debator standpoint, I never liked when the Ponies were portrayed as "the ones who need to be saved" rather than powerful in their own right. That was what led to me belatedly dropping Friendship Souls. No matter how good the Bleach aspect of it was, I couldn't get over how downplayed the Ponies were. The straw that broke the camel's back being where Discord basically got "plot speared" (yes it's EXACTLY what it sounds like) and couldn't react to the spear being thrown because "he has no good reaction feats" and "he's never been in a real fight". :scust

    Fucking fanboys. :breh I remember an MLP fanfiction which had similar comments but never quite got to "pm the author with death threats" level. Specifically it was Ulquiorra in Equestria and people bitched about him getting straight up reiatsu crushed by the Princesses at the start and him talking Twilight up in a similar way to ichigo (ie her power fluctuates between trash and stronger than his own). And this was UNICORN Twilight by the way.

    Same here, although not for any particular reason, I just tend not to have the same opinion as the "majority" do. :maybe As for XV I found it quite dull to be honest and didn't end up playing much of it. I'll probably play through the whole thing eventually (because you know, I OWN A COPY so I might as well) at some point but I'm in no hurry to do so.

    X is just as linear I agree but I do also concede to the fact that it is better paced with its story than XIII and it does have more to do, that makes it FEEL like it's less linear, even before you reach the Calm Lands. As for XII, it DID have a lot more you could explore a lot earlier. While the actual story content was linear (though the same can be said for basically EVERY FF game), I wouldn't say the game as a whole was that linear at least not in the strictest sense of the word. Yeah both games have pretty bad grindathons required to do the optional stuff/trophies but XIII's is a lot worse because of the upgrade system being so fucking tedious. XIII's actual story also isn't really that interesting or deep. It really is carried by its cast of characters and their development so the story lives or dies depending on weather the player actually likes the cast or not. It just happened that I did. All good games in their own right though.

    Hopefully Rose doesn't pull a Gohan when she grows up and go full scholar on us, shying away from combat unless forced to. :maybe

    "I actually like this game, even if it's linear as fuck and its story is locked behind datalogs." First one's a fair point but the second point's a blatant lie and a common misconception. Pretty much all of the "need to know" information to understand the story is given in the game's cutscenes. The Datalog just provides some extra world building. It's not mandatory reading. "If you didn't reload the game, you wouldn't know where the monsters come from in Chapter 12." Yes you would, Fang straight up states that they're "fresh off the Ark I'd wager", they just don't specifically say it was the Fal'cie who released them, because it kind of goes without saying. The humans don't know about the Fifth Ark so it had to be the Fal'cie. This seems to be less about the "storytelling being jank" and more you simply not paying attention to a game you supposedly like. :mjpls

    Yep, an excellent summary of at least one of the key reasons why the Resident Evil games work and continue to be successful, whereas their adaptations are total shit. In adaptations, they always go for the apocalyptic scenarios where the zombie outbreak spreads everywhere. It gets to the point where even if the heroes win in the end, what have they accomplished? The world is still basically screwed. This is completely antithetical to what Resident Evil is in the games. In the games, the outbreaks are always contained before they can reach that point, thanks in no small part to the efforts of the heroes. There's actually a layer of hope at the end of Resident Evil games that, even if they don't stop bio-terror for good, there will always be heroes like Chris, Leon, Jake, Jill etc who will be around to limit the damage the outbreaks cause and stop the people responsible. You can call it cheesy if you want but, considering how long the games have been around, how many of them there...

    Watching two guys' reaction to Hellboy II. "I like the design of the Elves and the weapons, it felt very ASIAN." Asian? :breh Subtitles literally say the Elves are speaking Gaelic The names of the elves and places are also Gaelic The Golden Army is in Northern Ireland Like it's very obvious that they're inspired by Celtic mythology. What's so "obviously asian" about them or their weapons? Spears and ornate looking weapons are hardly unique to Asia guys. :kobeha

    Because that shit head always seems to get fights, even though he shouldn't have made it out of the SS arc IMO. Anyone I only said it would be SOMEONE like that. Largely because I'm not lucky enough for it to be Uryu or someone who actually needs/deserves it (like Chad).

    Kubo has confirmed at least one ENTIRELY NEW fight for cour 2 of the TYBW anime. I'd ask for a Chad fight but I'm not holding my breathe on that, knowing my luck it'll probably be Yumichika or some other shitty character like that.

    Made all the more hilarious because she's not even a full Umbra Witch yet, she just knows a bit of magic, but still hasn't taken up the full demon contract she needs to become a witch. :kobeha

    Watching a Digimon video where someone actually said, "People only hate 02 because Sora didn't end up with Tai." 🤣 02 fans still on that hard copium I see, 'cause that's only one of many valid reasons to dislike 02. The reality is just the opposite, the only reason people still remember 02 at all, is because Ken and BlackWarGreymon hard carried the fuck out of it. Like I would not have gotten through my re-watch if they didn't exist. :kobeha It was also not simply "overshadowed" by the seasons that came immediately before and after, though that certainly didn't help. :maybe

    Me: Well I can say I enjoyed the first part of the Nazi arc anime a lot more than I thought I would, they really gave it a lot of quality of life changes and the pacing was better. Me: Well this still looks okay and of course Rukia's Bankai's going to be in this, so there's a reason to watch it. I can see no way this goes horribly wro... Me: Oh DEAR GOD! ALL OF THAT'S IN THE NEXT SEASON! :breh Well they better put in the order for that coffin because no amount of animation quality or making the pacing better's going to stop this next chunk of episodes from being shit. :kobeha
