Happy 10th anniversary!
It's been a while since I played this VN; can't believe this released ten years ago. I feel weird. Maybe bc of its characters or its soundtrack; maybe nostalgia just hits hard.
But it has been ten years, and KS is still here.

While we're at it
Strong Female characters ≠ Well written
Dark tones ≠ depth
Suffering ≠ complex, it's useless if it does not amount to a character's growth or change
Symbolism ≠ Good, it only works if it provides clarity to an already existing theme
Minecraft updates since 1.16 have been so disconnected from the game and each other
You could probably shuffle the order that they were added in, and it would barely make a difference to the game’s current state
Dear @Netflix,
As the official French translator of the Steel Ball Run manga, I'd like to share a concern about your batch-release strategy for JoJo's Bizarre Adventure.
Twenty-eight years ago, I spent years trying to convince Glénat, then France's dominant manga publisher, to respect the original reading format their audience wanted. They refused, until a competitor did it right and nearly knocked them off their pedestal. They finally listened. But it took a near-disaster to get there.
Steel Ball Run is a story built on tension, suspense and anticipation, arc by arc, week by week. Batch-releasing it neutralizes what makes it work narratively. I'm not asking you to follow every fan demand. I'm asking you to consider whether your release strategy serves the story you're investing in.
The JoJo community is one of the most loyal and vocal fandoms out there. That loyalty is an asset, if you treat it as one.
