when a game is good, but then it gets a sequel or remake that completely fucking invalidates the original
definitely more than a pet peeve actually

And so the trek through the year 1995 begins. Disclaimer: Even weebs probably won't give a fuck about any of these shows. I rewatched Ghost in the Shell, and my opinion on it has not changed (still a 2/10). I'm also in the process of rewatching Evangelion, because in retrospect, I think it deserves it. Armitage III: Polymatrix (Hiroyuki Ochi, 1996, AIC) This movie is a condensed version of the original four-episode OVA of the same name (sans subtitle), which I thought would be a little bit more convenient for my sake. But holy shit, do I ever regret watching it this way. At first, I thought this was going to be some kind of off-brand Ghost in the Shell—mainly because of the cyberpunk setting, and the stupid sultry female protagonist—but interestingly enough, it actually predates it (the film, obviously; not the manga), yet it still manages to be just as vapid, hilariously enough. The same tired old cyberpunk trappings that I've come to develop a massive distaste for are all at the forefront, and I'm never going to get those two hours back. What a shame. 2/10The Diary of Anne Frank (Akinori Agoaka, 1995, Madhouse) Just read The Diary of a Young Girl, for fuck's sake. This has to be the most unnecessary adaptation of anything ever. 5/10Elf Princess Rane (Dangun Pictures, 1995, first part) I wasn't going to put any text here, but I can't ignore the elephant in the room that this was a really weird thing for me to watch. The only reason I tried it is because it was released in close proximity to my birthday, and perhaps I thought that my birth would've torn a rift of serendipity within the anime industry, but evidently, that wasn't the case. This is the first time an anime has gotten me to think to myself, "What the fuck am I doing? I am literally wasting my time right now. I should probably stop doing this." Next anime. 1/10El-Hazard: The Magnificent World (AIC, 1995, three episodes) Very standard fare. I realize that the harem stuff is part of the show's appeal, but it's so fucking tame by today's standards to where it all just feels kind of sterile and awkward. 4/10Fushigi Yuugi: The Mysterious Play (Studio Perriot, 1995, three episodes) Another old shoujo that is incredibly far removed from my demographic, and I have no business watching it, so I didn't watch much. It's certainly nothing special, but I don't actually mind any of the characters or their designs, which is very rare for me to say. It's just not a very compelling story, and nothing particularly interesting happens. 5/10Golden Boy (APPP, 1995, completed) As dumb and as borderline offensive as this stupid-ass show is, it did make me laugh out loud. Multiple times. It might just be the funniest anime I've ever seen, and as much as I ultimately dislike the show (just because it's stupid, and I refuse to enjoy stupid things), I can't take that away from it. Call it a guilty pleasure. The best part is that it's rather short, but it IS extremely raunchy, so bear that in mind if you happen to check it out. 7/10

Jade Cocoon: Story of the Tamamayu is an overlooked gem worth trying out, and a personal favorite of mine it's a weird combination of final fantasy and pokémon where you capture these magical bugs in the forest and fight stuff with them—but the coolest part is that you get to merge them together to make even stronger bugs, and they all look different, and there's a bajillion different weird things you can make it has a pretty compelling story as far as JRPGs go, the music and atmosphere are orgasmic, and the OP and character designs were created by Studio Ghibli the battles are fairly slow-paced and overly simplified, though, so don't expect fast or complex gameplay or anything

Do you have any more to say on Grave of the Fireflies
I never want to see it ever again
Looking back, I suppose I can understand why no one has ever recommended it to me. I remember feeling extremely bitter about that, because across my six or seven years hating anime, I've made my tastes quite clear—I would give people a long laundry list of things that I did not want to see, but my folly was that I never really gave anyone a list of things that I do want to see. Most weebs probably default to not recommending anything like Grave of the Fireflies, mostly because of how much of a downer they are. It's like popping in Requiem for a Dream at a party when you're all in the mood for a lighthearted comedy or something. But this really is my kind of movie. Not just because it's a downer (though I do love my sob stories)—but because of how effectively it's able to channel those emotions. I hate unearned pathos in movies so much, it can really make or break a movie for me. Had GotF been directed ANY differently, I may have given it a 2/10. But there are so many of these subtle (and sometimes not-so-subtle) elements that you pick up on throughout the film, especially early on, all of which help to gradually envelop you in the ensuing tragedy. Lots of anime films do this, but the difference is that it pays off. Albeit, it pays off in an incredibly heart-wrenching fashion, but it's the first anime I've seen that actually had a valuable message. Things that you can actually take away from and keep within you for the rest of your life, beyond just the anti-war stuff. Though, it's important to note that Takahata has repeatedly stated that it's not an anti-war film—which is fortunate, because if it were, I wouldn't have enjoyed the movie as much. You can take it as an anti-war film, but that's not really how it's meant to be taken. Instead, I view it as an honest and candid examination of human nature. This is who we are, this is how we've always been. We can change it, but if we want to change it, we have to engage ourselves in higher thinking. Empathy is the key to a better future and whatnot. Failure to apply the golden rule will always result in us destroying ourselves. I don't give the film a 9/10 or a 10/10, because I've gotten these messages elsewhere in plenty of Western war films, but the particular framing of the story was unique and well-executed enough to make my brain go, "Okay, I'm watching a quality film right now." Plus, it managed to rend the cockles of my heart a little bit, which no other anime has ever been able to do (not that most of them even try).

Verb you seem creative with nicknames. What are some of your best/memorable ones from across the gens
I actually didn't start nicknaming my Pokémon until I started doing nuzlockes exclusively, to be honest, and I made that decision some time after Gen V. I did a little bit when I first started, but all my names were awful, poorly spelled, and based on a five-year-old's spur-of-the-moment vocabulary. One time, I caught a Shellder, which I had never seen before, so I assumed that it was rare. When I caught it, I decided to name it "Lucky," but since I was five and didn't know how to spell, "Locke" was its name instead. I've always had a habit of reserving good names for shinies, though. My first shiny ever was a Rattata that I found after years and years of playing Gen II (though, I don't even think Gen IV was out at the time). I gave him a name that I'm still pretty proud of to this day: Sterling, based on his "sterling silver" color palette (which doesn't make much sense anymore, since shiny Rattata look more greyish green now), the fact that I found him in Pokémon Silver, and the fact that the word means "something of high value." It was a perfect fit. This eventually came full circle in Gen VII, when my first shiny was an Alolan Raticate. I had a pretty fun naming theme at the time (Hanna-Barbera cartoons), so I named her Chérie from Tom & Jerry, who was Jerry's love interest for one episode. It also matched her black cherry color palette. When Gen IV was still fresh, I found a shiny Geodude out in the wild, which had been my fifth shiny in general. I named it Ragnarok, which was a term I picked up when I was looking up synonyms for "apocalypse" one day, and the "rock" pun seemed to fit. He never became a Golem, though. Even though I had friends who played Diamond & Pearl, I have weird opinions on how trade evolutions should work. I don't like the idea of trading back after something evolves, because I always felt like that defeated the whole purpose of a trade. During Gen V, I got REALLY into competitive battling on Showdown, so I kinda stopped playing Pokémon casually until they nerfed weather teams in Gen VI. When OR/AS came out, I tried to make rain teams great again with Mega Swampert, who I named Balrog (after the Street Fighter character), who I still use in my competitive team to this day. I don't take competitive battling as seriously anymore, though. Weather may have been stupidly OP, but it made it fun. Now, shit kinda sucks. My shiny Hariyama in Ultra Sun is called Gautama, which is Buddha's first name. Those are probably all of my favorite nicknames outside of Silver, to be honest. This Silver nuzlocke was honestly the first time I ever went all out on creativity without using a naming theme as a crutch, so I'm glad it went over pretty well.

Yooo what the fuck really?
Well shit, can I at least get the Moon stone from my mum?
Yep. Either from her, or the one sitting around in Tohjo Falls, which is accessible as soon as you get Surf. Since you're in Ecruteak, it looks like you'll be able to get your hands on that very soon.

Is waiting on RNG really the best way to get a Moon/Leaf stone?
wait, are you playing crystal?
I'm playing Gold from the eshop. I just got to Ecruteak. From looking it up, it seems you get a Moon Stone from your mum shopping, and a trainer on one of the routes phones you if she finds a Leaf Stone?
I just don't wanna be stuck with a Nidorino and a Weepinbell for most of the game.
got some bad news for you: trainers calling and giving you items is only a thing in crystal in gold and silver, the only way to get the elemental stones is via bill's grandfather in kanto he gives them to you in a set order, and you only get one of each per game it's probably of the worst thing about the games tbh
