Lol, sorey sound like a Canadian stepped on your Nike's.
His voice and character pissed me off a lot

I really hate the whole "I won't kill anyone no matter what :^)" kind of character, even when faced with real life shit. It's such a naive fucking thing.

Anyone who actually thinks Dark Souls is "hard" really just has a failure to learn how to actually learn and adapt, because once you get the basic formula down, every game is easy bar a few bosses with each installment. But even then that's not the majority of the game.
i think the perception comes more from the period in which the game was released, because triple-A games that required as much of the player's attention as dark souls were running a huge deficit in the last decade

almost every SP campaign of the average video game released in the past ten years is fairly braindead and can be beaten on autopilot, which bred a generation of players who took that for granted

so by the time demon's souls came out, nobody could really get into it at first, because it was a lot more punishing than a lot of other popular games at the time (gta 4, fallout 3, oblivion, fucking CoD), which probably made it seem perhaps more challenging than it really is

also, if you didn't have a background in fighting games, RPGs, other action games like it, or even rhythm games (all of which are relatively niche genres), i can understand why someone may consider it one of the hardest games ever, because if all you've been playing is CoD and elder scrolls (which was true of most people at the time), you're gonna have a hard time with the souls series

that's the impression i'm trying to create in order to be taken more seriously as an anime critic
You rated one 8/10...
i gave one out of sixty-six anime an 8/10??????????????????

WOW i'm such a fucking weeaboo
I never insinuated you were a weeb you fucking retard. That was in reference to the "All anime is trash" line you spouted before.
i gave one out of sixty-six anime an 8/10??????????????????

WOW i guess that means anime isn't trash

objectively, all anime are 1/10

my subjective point of view on one particular anime is that it is far more enjoyable than the rest
Objectively you're a moron.

Okay, but it still seems strange that there's only a point's difference between "unbelievably boring garbage" and "not a terrible show", or how you can spend a paragraph talking about how great Angel's Egg is and then give a seven. What cost it the last three points, if you had nothing negative worth saying about it?

I wasn't expecting a serious response to that so I'm just going to keep pretending you throw a dart blindfolded to decide the scores.
i kinda see what you mean

i rated LotGH a 4/10 because, despite describing it as "unbelievably boring garbage," it's a matter of fact that there are several shows that have left me in a MUCH worse mood after finishing them

like, LotGH may have been boring, but it never outright annoyed or offended me, like TTGL or dragon maid have

paradoxically, there's a part of me that actually likes watching 2/10 or even 1/10 shows MORE than i enjoy watching 4/10s, because they can have that so-bad-it's-good quality about them

whereas 4/10s are just plain ol' bad, and don't have any entertainment value whatsoever

it's kinda like this



so that might explain why i tend to be harsher and more dismissive with my 4/10s, because they're not even fun to rant about

none of this shit is hard and fast though, and different cases are due to vary wildly based on the context

as for angel's egg's 7/10, it very well could be an 8/10, i just want to rewatch it

Also, does Poipole evolve by levelling up or is there a different method? I really don't want to look it up because I want it to be a surprise, just don't want to spend hours trying to figure out what to do with it
there's another method

you need to teach it a certain move

death spells in JRPGs are the only reason why i don't play JRPGs as often as i should

oh you like strategy and nuance in your video games huh well guess what kiddo i have a move that can just instagib your entire fucking party with one RNG-based attack that you have absolutely no way of stopping haha isn't this fun

this is actually more than a pet peeve for me, but i'm the only person i know who has such a low tolerance for this shit

Your arbitrary rating system puzzles me.
i actually spend a lot of time carefully thinking about what each number means, though my scale admittedly does work a bit differently for anime than other mediums

like, i wouldn't give a game or a movie a number until i'm actually finished with them; hence, those are ratings i'd like people to take more seriously, because there's a LOT of thinking behind the number

i've actually thought about making a video series where i talk in-depth about what each number on my scale means, and explain why i think numbered ratings are useful in the first place (because i think they get a bad rap)

it's different with anime though, because unlike a game or a movie, it's simply not reasonable to expect me to watch entire shows, especially if i'm absolutely hating it

this makes anime (and perhaps all television) a very shitty and disposable medium, because you're not really meant to be able to consume all of it; you're just meant to find what you like and watch it

so, even though i believe that's an extremely toxic way to consume and produce art, i don't have much of a choice--you may have noticed that i tend to enjoy anime films more than shows, and there's a reason for that

so my out-of-ten scale works differently for anime in the sense that it's an expression of how i personally felt after watching or dropping a show, and that's pretty much it--unlike in my game reviews, there's no attempt to be objective or balanced whatsoever, it's pure opinion

10/10 being there's an avalanche of joy and excitement crashing through my head

1/10 being there's a rainstorm of hatred and sadness pouring in my head

i give a lot of 5/10s, which can mean either indifference (most of the time), mixed feelings (rarely), or (occasionally) utter mediocrity

that all being said, numbers are numbers; the important thing is what i have to say

I'm p sure at this point if I ever watch anime my eyes just glaze over during fanservice bits, because unless it's long enough that I skip ahead I never remember it afterward.

i think i'm finally coming to grips with weeb language now

"does this anime contain any fanservice"

if their response is "i don't think so," then there will be at least ten or twelve scenes where the main female character gets groped or fucked onscreen

if their response is a confident "no," then there will be at least five or six

if they say "none at all" and they're extremely adamant about it, then there will at least be one or two

and if they say "yes," it's hentai

weebs aren't capable of honesty, so you have to learn their language

The Garden of Words (Makoto Shinkai, CoMix Wave Films, 2013) Just watch this XXXTentacion video instead. 5/10

A Silent Voice (Makoto Shinkai, CoMix) It's incredible how one man can make the same movie over and over again, and people continue to eat it up every single time. None of them offend me to my core or anything, but... I've seen this shit. 5/10

Cromartie High School (Production I.G, 2003, four episodes) Not a terrible show, but I don't have any desire to watch it further. It's not doing anything to hold my attention, and I don't feel at all connected to the subgenre that it's clearly parodying. It also looks a lot like Fist of the North Star, which is a style that I don't find very easy on the eyes, and overall, there's just nothing too special about it. I'm over it. 5/10

Legend of the Galactic Heroes (Madhouse, 1988, two episodes) Unbelievably boring garbage. 4/10

Yu-Gi-Oh! (Toei, 1998, five or six episodes) Also known as season zero, I guess? I didn't even know this shit even existed, except for that one reference to it in LittleKuriboh's Abridged Series ("Screw the rules, I have green hair!"). I don't really know what to say about it, other than that I'm kinda fascinated that it's even a thing. Unlike the more popular Gallop show, the card game isn't really the focus, and a lot of fucking weird shit happens. Almost too weird. The only reason you would watch it is to have a giggle at all the weird stuff that happens, especially to contrast with the other show. It's basically just a meme, and doesn't have much value beyond that. 3/10
