@Habbalab This is so good man. Akagi is about a lot of things, but it's often understated how it tackles the nature of randomness and the notion of fate
@Sunny68182@hayasaka_aryan@ExistentialEnso This is entertainment, not high art. NuGOW is on the level of MCU slop, there's no real excuse for unappealing main characters when they're dishing out fucking Reddit cubes, you're already pandering to the player.
Japanese cities can disappoint. Visitors stroll around hoping to be awe-struck by the dreamy spectacle of clip-clopping Geisha in their wooden geita, or barreling sumo wrestlers, or high-stockinged ninja girls (à la Kill Bill), and all against a Blade Runner backdrop, only to be confronted with mostly unremitting blandness.
The constants are these: concrete, plastic, more concrete, more plastic, endless construction (one crappy shopping complex or mansion block replacing another), confusion, and noise. It can all seem dizzyingly homogenous.

imagine if all anime characters looked exactly like their seiyuus and every character they voiced were designed to look exactly like them across every show. this is what western video games decided Artistic Value is all about
gonna personally track down and wedgie every single dork who goes "we need to buy the rayman legends remake to support the brand and get more games :)"
