I mean, i'm not one to talk, up until recently, i used to watch Isekai anime, not neccisarily because they were good but because i wanted to make fun of them (though there were actual good ones). This likely contributed to my burnout. Anyways >Wotakoi I'm not really a manga reader, i've read a few in the past, but the only ones i can say i'm currently reading are Love is War and JoJo Part 8. Though i'm also reading Yona of the Dawn but since it's monthly and isn't JoJo, i like to wait like a year or so that chapters stack up. 2 hours ago, Shrimperor said: I pick up manga very easily, however i drop them also easily. I mean, manga are pretty easy to pick up and drop. Whereas with anime, you sometimes wanna wait a few episodes to see if you're into it, you can read like 15 chapters of a manga quickly and then decide. __________________________________________ I've made it to the Earth Temple in Origami King, which is the first major dungeon. First impressions: Even at the start, accessories are expensive as fuck. I had 6000 coins when the accessory shop unlocked and after buying the only two avaliable accessories, i was down to 2000. This is just the beginning so i can't imagine how expensive things get later. In other words, it looks like they got the money balance right for this type of game. FISHING! And it works exactly like how it does in Zelda games. Olivia seems to be a charming companion. Dialouge in general has been pretty good so far. All that said, this game has a Twilight Princess-tier opening. No, i don't have to fish for two hours but it's generally felt very slow so far and the beginning is really hand-holdy. I know it's Mario but c'mon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was built up to be a big time villain, but then... nothing. Was a bit of a shame. They dropped the ball with everyone and everything.

Hehe. As i said earlier, i love Otome isekai. They are generally much more enjoyable than normal ones, imo. Alot of the isekai i picked up also are like ''junk food''. Something to read when nothing else is to be done xD 5 minutes ago, Armagon said: Whereas with anime, you sometimes wanna wait a few episodes to see if you're into it, you can read like 15 chapters of a manga quickly and then decide. yeah. It's also why i don'T watch that much anime anymore. I rather play games XD.

But even then, it doesn't happen a lot haha. Honestly, i think what it is is that i just wish manga was colorized. JoJo is in color but only because of a fan-project and even though i would've read it anyway, it made me realize how much more appealing manga is in color. I understand why manga aren't in color though, it's not like comic books where you can generally take your time. I'm the same with movies and TV shows. I'm into Kaiju stuff and Doctor Who, both of which have their roots in black and white. But it's more appealing to watch in color. 7 minutes ago, Shrimperor said: they should've just made it paper Zelda then xD Tbh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought that was a gag spin-off or something for a second. XD Yeah, I laughed when she suddenly had glasses on (where did she get them, anyhow? lol), but I honestly forgot to screenshot them. 5 minutes ago, Armagon said: What does Otome actually mean, anyway? Otome means "maiden", according to a Japanese dictionary I have (which is actually just a website) Here's a wikipedia article on what otome games are (I share this not because I'm lazy, but because there's quite a lot to them, apparently):https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Otome_game Fun fact: Koei is credited with making the first one to exist.

Acacia Sgt Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) When a game, or any media really, refers to being Otome, or Shounen, Shoujo, Seinen, etc. It refers to who the game was designed for. So an Otome game is a game designed for women. Adult women usually. Don't think this restrict what the media can be about, usually.

DragonFlames Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 Playing some Dragon Quest V on the side. Gotta say, the game is excrutiatingly slow, but I blame the DS emulator for that. That thing runs like a snail, I swear. Anyway, some of the enemy names are just incredible. One in particular stands out from the rest, however: Bona Constrictor If you didn't get it, just say that name out loud. Just make sure you're alone when you do.And yes, I think this is funny, because I am a very mature person with very mature humor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acacia Sgt Posted July 24, 2020 Share Posted July 24, 2020 (edited) English not being my native language, I'll admit some of those puns can fly overhead due to not always knowing how is it meant to be pronounced. Like that one. Bow-nah? Boh-nay? Bow-nay? Boh-nah? Yeah. And also because sometimes I just don't get what the pun is supposed to be of. Like that one. Boa Constrictor as a skeleton, I'd guess, since it's serpentine. Edited July 24, 2020 by Acacia Sgt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
