There is this one tiktok skit about bagpipes and I find it really funny how we collectively realized that we've only heard one song and ONLY one song played in the bagpipe.
I get the Johto hate but it's good to note that this is their first pokemon sequel and had 0 formulas on how to do so.
Johto, at its time, was just meant to be a Kanto expansion. Nothing else, nothing grand. That's why you see a lot of notable trainers (gym leaders, elite 4) repping Gen 1 pokemon.
The wild is also full of gen 1 pokemon despite being another region. And this game will always reference its relation to gen 1 at almost every chance they get
Johto dex
This is easily the worst dex, the Pokemon that are in S tiers are the ones that carries the dex HARD. Why are so many of them look like they could evolve canโt evolve. There is a reason why so many of them got new evolutions
Ranking:
1st: kanto
2nd: Johto
Those 3 Gen 5 elemental monkeys. Not only do they look terrible
The gen 5 games really shoved them to my face by not only making them the ace pokemon of the 1st gym, it was also a gift pokemon on that same city.
And worst of all, even your rivals had 2 of them.
Like the game was expecting ME to have the remaining one. Like dude, you couldn't even pay me to have them in my party,
I released them the moment they got registered in the pokedex.
anytime i see old hbk media i just have to laugh because there is just no way possible this is who yall were letting bitch yall out in that locker room man LMAO
If you want an anime as an indicator of the shift. It's Attack on Titan.
I've been a weeb since the 2000s. I've seen Haruhi, SAO, and Naruto being crazed by anime fans.
But I saw it in real time how many non-anime watchers were drawn to that anime.
Maybe it's because of how non "anime" AoT is which smoothened the newcomers into watching anime
The 2nd HxH ED was metal AF (Iron Maiden like because of the galloping guitar riffs)
The Konosuba endings are all comfy AF. It's also rare to have a Country/Folk song as an anime OP or ED.
@Harmful_Logic Someone replied to my Toradora video (privated), and he said he's younger than the anime itself and he wants to check it out.
And I just felt my hair withering away๐ญ
He basically told the main characters "You ain't built for this". And at first, I found that devaluing for the characters.
But then I realized that this is a valid statement to say irl. This is also something I would say to 15 year old kids, if i were in this exact situation.
my problem with the portrayal of adults in shonen(JJK and MHA in particular) is that the majority of them are cool with sending kids to the front lines. nanami sacrificed himself time and time again to step up for the kids. man he was too good for that evil ass world๐ญ๐ญ๐ญ
