dude wtf
what was wrong with baccano
also the show is interesting for having a solipsist character who's actually right
It just wasn't anything special, beyond the multiple perspectives thing. The whole time I was thinking "I could just be watching a real gangster movie right now." And that's what I did—I watched Pulp Fiction right after, which is basically this show, but a thousand times better.

Baccano! (Brain's Base, 2007, completed) To the show's credit, I did finish it, so it obviously engaged me enough to watch all sixteen episodes. However, it did not engage me enough to ever watch it again, or even consider it that good of a show. The show's strong points are its characters (gasp) and its method of storytelling, which is quite unique when compared with typical anime schlock, and made it seem very fresh and interesting. That's where my appreciation ends. Since I liked the characters, I wanted to learn a lot about them, and I really expected the show to flesh them out more than it ended up doing. There were also a bit too many of them, which made following each and every one of their stories kind of dizzying, and it's easy to pick favorites and least favorites, which made sitting through certain episodes more of a chore than others. Finally, the setting just made me wish I was watching a Western gangster movie instead, because they're all a thousand times better in every single way. This was no Goodfellas, people. 4/10
Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade (Hiroyuki Okiura, Production I.G, 1999) Actually not bad, but kind of forgettable, despite its crazy, twisty-turvy plot. It's kind of slow, and I'm not sure if it really justified its near two hours of length, but the story was interesting and laden with a lot of surprisingly touching moments that tickled my feefees a bit more than I'm willing to admit. Still, there's so many things about it that could've been better. I liked the story, but maybe it needed a better artstyle. Maybe it needed better animation. Or maybe it even needed more plot coherence, because there were several points where I didn't quite understand why any of this was happening in the first place—including the awkward and somewhat tacky Little Red Riding Hood "allegory," if you can call it that. I just needed something to make it stay with me for longer than it did, because as soon it was over, it just didn't stick with me for too long. 5/10, might rewatch
Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid (Kyoto Animation, 2017, two episodes) 1/10

Uhh, America is responsible for all the things you hold dear.

Supporting your president = bad.
This is what is wrong with America. It is looked down upon for being patriotic.
no one is more patriotic than the person who hates his country and its leader
*with good reason
there is no ungood reason to hate trump and america

Look man, either she'll say yes or she won't. You don't have anything to lose.
this is such a bad thing to say to people
Why?
If it's not awkward they can still be friends. Either way he can at least move on instead of being stuck in limbo.
dignity, confidence, time, and the will to continue looking for other girls can all be lost by getting rejected
it's just not that easy for some people to "move on"
and then you have people like me, who get told things like that, and then actively search for reasons to get emotionally destroyed, because it's more satisfying to be right
Avoidance and a fear of rejection doesn't solve this problem.
does anything?

Sorry phone police, I'll be sure to check by you the next time I want to customize anything on my phone.

The story also takes a massive nose dive half way through book four and never recovers in the books after.
disagree for the most part, but at least the movies were pretty consistent in terms of quality

In order of necessity
Games;
Story
Characters (design is minor, but needs good writing and voice acting if the game has it.)
Gameplay (a game can look horrible, but if it plays great as seen its very forgivable)
Framerate (ties into gameplay in a sense, a game can look beautiful, but if it chugs and jumps itll ruin the experience)
Design (theme, artstyle, setting and OST)
Graphical fidelity
Dont care if a game looks dated, if it has a greay story and plays great then Ill like it.
I can only imagine that people who favor story over gameplay tend to get disappointed a whole lot.
In this day and age, yeah.
I get enjoyment out of a game with good gameplay. But a good story keeps me coming back wanting more, makes it satisfying to get attached to a world. But its becoming harder to find with the increasing amount of shovelware being released.
have you played botw

Season 5 was shit
Why do you think so?
They took a show that was originally meant for kids and made it WAY too adult, exactly as I feared they would.
I wouldn't have had an issue if they had done it smoothly and tastefully, but they didn't.
Samurai Jack was always more mature with deeper messages than most kids shows. I wouldn't say it was solely intended for kids. I think making it even more mature was cool because we grew up with the show watching it as kids, and now we're watching it as adults.
that's what i love about shit like harry potter the difference is, the maturation in HP is gradual in SJ, it's very blunt and sudden, and as a result, off-putting

>even caring about graphics at all
good point i changed my bottom tier to the following: Setting/world = Customization = Graphics = Frame rate = Boring technical aspects = Historical accuracy = Premise because i equally don't care about any of these things in re: a game's overall quality

I never understood the liking of chain pizza anyway... little ceasars might be an exception though.
But like, do people just really not have decent pizza joints near them that a Hut is able to flourish?
nah, the crown jewel of my town is our local pizza joint, which is generally the first place we take any visitors to but we still got a couple chains around—three, in fact we love our pizza
