wow it turns out looking at the same six websites over and over again isn’t actually a good way to stop feeling horrible, gosh I can’t believe it’s not working, welp better keep refreshing
@Hecavimu@Jaereku Except they’re all extremely good and cool? It’s also both impressive and hilarious to do an entire epic fantasy in the middle of an even bigger epic; if the anime pulls it off, people will talk about it like they talk about HxH’s Chimera Ant arc.
@kureha_magica They both make their characters suffer and bleed a lot! But I think Re:Zero is more like Higurashi: the characters may suffer terribly, but only to make their success even more exciting. I don’t know if Urobuchi will ever let Madoka and Homura have a truly happy ending…
@Itay20052@fatattativa From my perspective, the best part of re:zero is the many clever ways Tappei keeps challenging seemingly OP characters, and since amnesia/shrinking both lead to cool plot developments, it doesn’t bother me. Kill the powerscaler in your head, stories aren’t fighting games.
@Itay20052@fatattativa You seem to be suggesting the story is bad if Subaru encounters any personal challenge or setback, which isn’t really how storytelling works. Especially when he overcomes all of these and single-handedly saves the world several times over.
@DarekaMono@TELLA_NATSUKI@Spark4421 Aside from Al being dangerous and stealing his sealing magic? I feel like it’s possible he’ll be influenced by the fact that Rem and Petra clearly figured out RBD.
Also? Story’s not over. I’ll be shocked if “arc 9 didn’t matter” is true when we finish the series
@V1BR1_@Rotate26 See I was just thinking more like, an mspfa where sburb has a backrooms-style fail state, but the too-complicated-minecraft-mod idea is pretty hot too
@bandit_shy@ionrobotcookie Since the other sessions all have privately distributed discs, I like to imagine that Grandpa Harley Hope’d up a wide release via Skaianet in an attempt to save as many people as possible.
@neoShootingstar Can he exist outside the Lord English function that’s essentially part of S*urb? What does it mean that only half of him got sucked into LE? Is he just haunting the HS series’ continuity specifically?
He feels too tied to the narrative to stick his codpiece everywhere at once
@dannithe2st Mostly because of this line of thinking, and believing that probably Yiffy’s relationship with the world and others is going to dramatically change in the future
@TheRoseLalonde Feels like “Rosebot was secretly plotting against Dirk the whole time” vs. “Candy Rose, Most Divorced Woman Ever” dynamic makes more sense? There’s no way any Rose could be described as “helpless,” regardless
