Watched episode 2 of YoHaji...
I guess I have to resolve myself to accept is one of those animes who definitely not follow the same path as the manga besides vaguely sticking to the story ... T_T
Alright, time for reactions:
āš ļø spoiler āš ļø
Meeting with the teacher differently from the manga...
Why did they skip the Youkai study class???
Miki's and Hatanaka's voices are alright I guess.
WAIT! WHAT'S UP WITH YANAGIDA'S VOICE?!
I definitely didn't expect that O.o
Tamao's and Renren's are a pretty good match.
But I wonder, if they gave Miki his Kansai dialect, didn't they say in the manga that Abe spoke a mix of both of this parents' dialect, much to his brother's annoyance?
Oh, already introducing the sexy "crazy" doctor. That's a shame they didn't use his dodomeki form just like in the manga. I was hoping they would so a "glow up" with the "Woah āœØ" SFX when switching to his "human" form.
Okay so that's it, Dr Takahashi is straight on slapped with the "crazy and dangerous character" label, huh...
Oota's voice is surprising but nice! I wonder where I heard it before tho...
... WHY THE F*** WOULD HE BE CARRYING THAT FORSAKEN CATALOG WITH HIM?!!!! THAT'S NOT EVEN WHAT HAPPENED IN THE MANGA! COME ON THAT DOESN'T MAKE ANY SENSE!
THE DIRECTOR'S OFFICE?! SERIOUSLY? šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£šŸ¤£
....they already switched to the pool?! It's going too fast! šŸ˜©
Okay so they totally scrapped out the fact those morons where fooling around while cleaning the class, which would have explained way better why Renren got lumped up with them since he has the bad luck to be on cleaning duty with said group...
The poisonous glow up scene is perfect šŸ‘šŸ¤£
Mame sure would be handsome šŸ‘€ But that's besides the point šŸ˜‚
Aw that little catchphrase to go giant XD ā¤ļø
And of course, since they skipped the club episode, there is no correlation that can be given to Mame's experiments and the human faced fish šŸ˜‘
Okay, they kinda skim it but still, I really wish they didn't cut off a literal chapter
... What kind of position is that?! Also, why is he wearing shoes if he was in the pool??
... In overall, I should probably try to detach the anime from the manga. I won't be enjoying it much otherwise TwT

my honest thoughts on burst angel after watching it:
Tumblr media
i really enjoyed it! but i feel like alot of things weren't clear or explained like at all unfortunately
just because i say i enjoyed it doesnt make up for the fact that the anime is bad
though i do really enjoy all the characters, they were written very well. the plot was just really all over the place. episodes would start where i wouldnt know what the fuck was going on that really shouldnt happen!
jo and meg should've definitely been around 18-19 and sei should atleast be like mid-late 20's. the canon ages are stupid and i hate how much they sexualized meg as if they didnt make her a literal child. it wasnt as prevalent in the beginning but i feel like the mid episodes really started making her fanservicey.
i think the designs are fine, but i would tweak them to make them less like. revealing. ( minus sei. shes fine since shes an adult ) amy doesnt need the tummy window shes like fucking 9
the ending was super rushed and i wish it would explain things better, but i kinda like the idea that meg kinda takes up jo's work. i kinda imagine if there was ever another season or a sequel to burst angel, there would be signs of jo outside tokyo and meg makes it her mission to find her once again. ( im still cooking w/ this idea but i still think its rlly cool )
i feel like meg should have somewhat kept her clothes and just added jo's jacket onto it to kinda make her own identity bc i feel like her just getting jo's clothing is lazy character design
the worldbuilding is really good but poorly executed.. the fact that they're making mutant people and then using their brains to make powerful, intelligent, military war robots is insane and i really like it. but then again, the episodes felt rough with explaining it and i didnt really get what they were doing until like episode 12
most of the fights were really fucking cool, especially with the mechs. they honestly really impressed me
i really enjoyed those tender moments jo and meg have, it was really heartbreaking to see jo hit her unconscious so she wouldnt get hurt thought.
i wish they had meg be in more fights instead of her being a damsel in distress most of the time. like i understand shes not some hyperflexible fighter like jo, but i'd be nice to see her kick ass too
THEY NEED TO REANIMATE/REMAKE BURST ANGEL IN THE OVA'S STYLE LIKE IMMEDIATELY. The OVA did everything so right it was genuinely my favorite piece of burst angel media. ( minus the part where meg was being racist but that isnt real to me <3 )
adding onto the last point, i feel like there were points in the anime where they lost the budget and it made me laugh a bit.
i doubt they'd ever reanimate burst angel but if they do god please stop sexualizing them if you're going to keep your characters as minors its weird and gross
ok thats it for my little rant :3 im currently reading the manga and its really fun so far!! im enjoying it. i wish there were more than 17 chapters tho :( a shame

[Magi rewatch] Episode 14: Alibabaā€™s Answer [Part 2]
Tumblr media
With no context it's like they're just chatting
Tumblr media
This is still so fucking hilarious. The fact that he just went and said, yeah, pretend we didn't lose any right and all that, pretty please
Tumblr media Tumblr media
She needed a moment to process it.
I feel like the manga showed better how Alibaba's 100% aware his argument is bullshit, but this one might be a bit overthinking on my part. In the manga simply Alibaba's and Ka Koubun's thoughts align, where here we only get Ka Koubun being like this is bs, and Alibaba thinking the argument is forced. It's not as jarring as many other changes, but can be misunderstood if you're not paying attention.
Tumblr media
When the princess actually decides to tell the Emperor about some bratty prince's pseudoarguments, rather than disregard them entirely right away.
It's a slight difference here. In the manga Alibaba thinks more about Kougyoku's lack of authority and the fact that she doesn't want to get married, while in the anime he comments how she folds easily under pressure, and then the marriage thing. Obviously, I like the manga version more - there's more of Alibaba understanding the circumstances, but the anime isn't that bad either, as it frames it as him just being able to read her that easily.
Tumblr media
One day his bs will save your country, you don't even know
Tumblr media
Still, you gotta appreciate the fact that she didn't actually fold that easily.
Also, yeah, yeah, Kougyoku spam. She's my beautiful daughter, I'll do what I want.
Tumblr media
Your time to shine, Womanizer of the Seven Seas (fuck you, tho, not literally)
But also Jesus fuck. I wasn't sure bc of the wording, tho looking back, yeah, it was obviously that, but he's just saying that, yeah, Balbadd's joining the SSA, so it'd be hard for the Emperor to try to conquer Balbadd, and I'm like, bro, you've been waiting for this moment.
Tumblr media
Ok, a change, in the manga Sinbad is surprised to have Alibaba join in. And also Alibaba is, once again, much calmer about it. Here he does kinda look like he's clutching at straws, while in the manga he was talking like it was obvious, how did you not know about it?
But also, it does make me think about that time he later used Sinbad's name to get the pirates sent to Sindria, rather than potentially becoming slaves and all that. It's kind of funny. But in his defence, Sinbad started, and he just rolled with it, and also later did the same again, so.
Tumblr media
God, she looks so tired.
Can't blame you, girl.
Tumblr media
Grl no
Tumblr media
The way he's just running after her yelling "Himegimi! Himegimi!" XDDD
Tumblr media
"This really just happened?"
Tumblr media
The way his shoulders just fell
Tumblr media
Proud dad
Tumblr media
Honestly, that's a really sweet moment
Tumblr media
Shame it's about to get really, really bad soon
Tumblr media
Grl no
Tumblr media
GRL NO
Tumblr media
NO GRL NO HE'S AN ASSHOLE
Tumblr media
Live Ka Koubun reaction
Ok, so, stuff changed. In the manga Alibaba tells them more to do, Sahbmad & Barkak included, while some stuff is skipped, which, alright, but then we have Barkak being like, yea, people will call for our execution alongside the previous kind, so let us atone for our sins by death, and like ???? First of all, in the manga it's Alibaba who says that people will want 23rd executed, but he'd rather send him to be held in confinement, since he still doesn't want to kill his own brother, and then he's like there's no laws yet, anyway. In the naime there's, like I've said, this whole Barkak being yo so we're gonna die, too, k, and Alibaba's like how about no there's no laws for it anyway, I need you guys to help build a republic, and like. Is it for the sake of drama or what. Also he kinda makes it sound like he wants 23rd to help, too, he doesn't even mention the confinement.
Tumblr media
Kinda lmao
Tumblr media
speech time
Huh, I thought it'd be a bit longer, but we cut to Banker really fast
Tumblr media
I mean. It looks a little silly. I know it's about there being a lot of them, but it looks like these birds are simply that big
Tumblr media
I can't believe Aladdin just exploded
Tumblr media
Bye bye, Aladdin!
Tumblr media
Ok, back to speech. And also the building is so pretty.
How loud is he speaking, actually.
Tumblr media
Oh, hi there, in the manga... tbh, I don't think we know where you are in the manga.
Tumblr media
You're about to stop smiling very, very soon
Tumblr media
: ' )
Also, ngl, The Bravery is growing on me a little bit. It has that nostalgic feel to it, y'know? It reminds me about SAO's Crossing Field a little.

Also, I want to say, I'm quite surprised that your top fav animanga are X/1999, Tokyo Babylon, Jujutsu Kaisen and Sailor Moon... (At first I thought I was reading it wrong, but wow). Thanks so much, you just showed me that really there are 2 wolves inside all of us and it's really not weird to love opposite things.
Personally, I was shamed and even blocked when my group friends found out that eventhough I mainly love shounen animanga, I also love shipping 2 male characters from the same famous shounen and made fanfics about them. They said to "Just read BL manga/manhwa if you want to read mlm relationships so bad. It's not normal to see those male characters' dynamics as romantic when it's clearly all platonic.." So I kinda felt guilty about it, but now I'm learning to accept myself. Imagine my surprise when I found out you also kinda ship satosugu (you, who made such a fantastic analysis metas of anime/manga series).
Sorry for my rambling, again thank you for sharing your analysis and reviews on anime/manga (especially Jujutsu Kaisen)....
Giiiiiiiiiiirl (gender neutral)... lmao, how's this for owning the whole of my personality?
One of my favorite tv shows EVER is Downton Abbey. Downton Abbey is cheesy, the characters are insufferably self-righteous, and the entire show is basically rich Brits bemoaning their fate over tea in their grand estate.. and yet I LOVE it SO MUCH. The drama, the fashion, the romance I LOVE IT.
I just get SO much pleasure out of watching this show.
My taste in animanga is somewhat similar. I just watch stories that move me. I've been consuming animanga for a little over 25+ years ?? so why limit myself to one demographic when there's so many fantastic stories out there that transcend genres and demographics.
i.e. Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball were some of my very first anime, so they will always have a very special place in my heart. But I also love CLAMP's intense emotional depictions across any demographic they choose to write for just as much as I love Gege's super cerebral and absurd story-telling, y'kno?
But... I am so grateful you sent this because I feel like despite all of my analyses and the rambles I do for animanga, if there is one thing I want people to learn from me, it is to be true to yourself. Loving and accepting yourself is a journey, so take it one step at a time.
This is going to be very Sukuna of me, but... if something brings you pleasure and you're not hurting anyone, then it's none of anybody's business but yours. And if someone is coming at you because of what you like, that's their problem, not yours. It says more about them than it says about you.
Let that sink in!
It's good to reflect upon your self and what you love, but when someone comes at you hating on what you love, it says more about them than it says about you.
Also, I am sorry to hear about what happened to you. I can understand why shonen fandoms are so defensive of the male characters getting shipped. I don't mean to excuse anyone tho because it's annoying to hear someone say that your interpretation of what you're reading is wrong because they don't agree with it.
Like who tf is anyone to tell me how and what I should think about? And whom I should ship? And where I should go read about anything? Fudge off man.
Seriously. What's wrong with people?
And don't get me started with the whole fujoshi business because I will talk shit. I WILL TALK SHIT lmao.
Thanks for stopping by and for the kind comments! šŸ˜‚

miss harapeveco since we are in the topic of anime pls drop some recommendations I donā€™t have anything to watchĀ 
Omg oks so I have a very shitty taste in anime so this will be a very disappointing list but the ones I mostly recommend are:
Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun: literally every scene is funny and iconic, it also invented m/f yaoi donā€™t ask it makes sense
Owari no Seraph: I mean this very unironically this anime fucking sucks but in a good way like nothing is ever explained, nothing makes sense and they gaslight you into believing the main boys are gonna be endgame by showing you a homoerotic scene of blood drinking. Just roll with it and donā€™t ask questions itā€™s better that way
The Persona 3 movies and the Persona 4/5 anime: the movies are really good they did a good job condensing +80 hours of gameplay in 4 movies (except the third movie but we donā€™t talk about that). Now when it comes to the persona 4 anime you can tell they didnā€™t give a shit that thing is just 24 episodes full of jokes and comedy the game wishes it had holy shit itā€™s really funny for no reason. The persona 5 anime is more complex in the sense that itā€™s very unwatchable if you go to it expecting something good. Itā€™s bad itā€™s very bad itā€™s poorly animated and rushed and itā€™s just borderline unwatchable but it is really funny if you wanna have a good laugh about how bad something is I recommend it
Osomatsu-san: the first episode of the first season being yeeted into oblivion bc it was very much illegal to show all of it makes it worth it. Keep in mind this is an adult show (even if it doesnā€™t look like it) so thereā€™s a lot of crude humor and sex jokes but all the characters are such trashy people I like to see them sufferĀ 
Kiss him not me: if you are a shipper this one is for you. Basically the MC is a yaoi obsessed fan girl who wants to see her classmates date each other yaoinly but they want to date her insteadĀ 
ID Invaded: really good anime with a really good mystery and plot! Main character did everything wrong but I still love him also Sou did the opening for itĀ 
Happy sugar life: very fucked up horror about a high schooler in love with a literal child but it doesnā€™t go like you think it goes, they donā€™t portray it as romantic or cute they very much portray it as the fucked up thing it is and how wrong it is. Itā€™s good if you like feeling unsettled and like to watch things go from 0 to 100 real fast
The promised neverland: amazing series with an amazing mystery and atmosphere! Itā€™s a shame it only has one season tho I hope they make a second season of it in the future but itā€™s a shame it only has one
Dr stone: it has science, itā€™s horny, you have over the top characters, what more do you want
Natsume book of friends: you love to cry? You wanna cry after watching every single episode? Ofc you do! This shit will hit you in the gut so hard you will never recover. A beautiful story about acceptance, platonic love, found family and yokai with the best and most realistic character development Iā€™ve ever seenĀ 
Gegege no Kitaro: this one is very broad bc no kidding this anime gets a new adaptation every decade. Thereā€™s a 60s version, a 70s version, an 80s version, a 90s version, a 2007 version, a 2008 version that is more adult and follows the manga and a 2018 version too if you like recent stuff more. Most of these are lost media tho good luck trying to find any version that is not the 2018 one. I forgot about the plot of it yeh uhhh basically a kid ghost is a medium between humans and yokai but he mostly play favorites with the yokai and sometimes fucks the humans over so idk if heā€™s really a medium, heā€™s very biased about it
The dangers in my heart: I talked about this one before but Iā€™m talking about it again idc. Really cute and wholesome the MC is kinda horny but heā€™s like 14 boys at that age are pretty horny we have to stop pretending they arenā€™t. The first 3 episodes are so cringe they are very painful to watch but if you can go through them you will witness what I think itā€™s the cutest romance after horimiya. I donā€™t usually read manga bc I have the attention span of a rock but even I did a binge read of it bc it was just so good
Kingā€™s game: edgier than shadow the hedgehog 2006, itā€™s painfully bad like I canā€™t even begin to explain how horrible this anime is but good lord it made me laugh all the way throughĀ 
Chuubyo gekihatsu boy: one of the main characters is a catboy called Rei Tsukumo and another character is a cringe Utaite what more can I say? Itā€™s just dumb cringe kids being dumb as fuck for 12 episodes and you know what? Itā€™s very good at it
Horimiya: just watch it for the love of god just watch it
Sasaki to Miyano: you have miyano who is like ā€œI wonder if Iā€™m gay??? Iā€™m not sure???ā€ While he reads gay manga and straight up imagines himself kissing his guy friend in the mouth like bestie COME ON
Thats all the anime I can think of the top of my head, well adding anime classics like fullmetal alchemist brotherhood, haikyuu, my hero academia (I only follow it bc the Todoroki family drama is the only thing well written in it), dragon ball (not dragon ball z bc as much as I like it I prefer dragon ball and the cutesy adventure aesthetic it has) and ofc how to forget sonic xĀ

Shirou x Michiru?
I finished to watch BNA some days ago and I LOVED it. My hopes for a season 2 or a manga wonā€™t die so easily!Ā  However I wanted to write this post to talk about ships, one in particular: Michiru x Shirou or ShiroMichi.
Letā€™s start from the base: I donā€™t like to talk badly about ships, even the ones I donā€™t like. The only ones I really find uncomfortable for me are incest or pedophilia ones but I donā€™t have problem as I just ignore them and people who post about them. I just concentrate of what I like, I donā€™t attack others for fictional characters.
But back to BNA, being in this animeā€™s mood I searched some fanarts and posts both here and on other art sites and I saw A LOT of negativity towards people who ship Shirou and Michiru. I read about people insulting or trying to make people feel ashamed for shipping them. And besides the fact that I donā€™t think itā€™s right to shame on people for this, where is the problem really about shipping them? There are various factors to keep on mind:
1) SHIROU Shirou became an ageless and immortal god, who stopped aging after his death, probably between his 20s (He looks relatively young, in many subs he is called ā€œguyā€ or ā€œteenā€. Also in the concept arts, with the authorā€™s style he definitely look a teenager). And I personally perceive him as what he probably is: an immortal late teenager.Ā  Some people may see him more as a older man for the wrinkles under his eyes, but that is a trait many characters has in anime even being young. In the concept art he definitely seems a teen, what people want to see then itā€™s perception.Ā 
2) MICHIRU Nothing much to say here. She is 18. Okay, she just had her birthday but she still is 18 and legal (Some may debate that 18 is not the legal age in Japan, but it will be soon as they are changing this too). Also if he really stopped into his 20s and we see him as teen I donā€™t see such an age gap. 3) ā€œHE IS IMMORTAL AND +1000ā€³ I would like to remember that of course being immortal he is +1000. But he probably has a different perception of aging too. More than immortal I would consider himĀ ā€œagelessā€.Ā  Also, is this really the first ship between a teen/young adult and an immortal being who lived hundreds or thousands years? No. Some examples that people often ignore and they even like? Greg x Pink Diamond (Steven Universe) Inuyasha x Kagome (Inuyasha) Yato x Hiyori (Noragami) Fluttershy x Discord (My little pony). All these cases present a god/demon/magic creature, who is immortal and lived hundreds or thousands years, and a teen or young human. Inuyasha in the movies is stated to be 200 (who donā€™t believe it canon can still though know he is older than 50 and immortal), looks a teen and has a romantic relationship with Kagome who is 15 at the start of the story. Never seen many people complaining.Ā  Greg is into his 20s and Pink Diamond/Rose Quartz is thousands years (6000+). They had a kid who is the protagonist.Ā  Yato is +1000, is a god and canonly is in love (reciprocated) with Hiyori who is 16.Ā  ecc...ecc...
And I never saw many people complaining, besides who supports rival ships.Ā  Why Shirou and Michiru should be any different?
4) CONCEPT OF THEIR RELATIONSHIP Yoshinari states that they are equal and that their relationship is inspired on Ryo and Kaori from City Hunter (Tho, they really are almost the same XD), who are romantically involved in the anime/manga.
In some concept arts of the show which were posted on the official page on twitter (besides the ones where Shirou looks as uoung as Michiru or really really closer... probably itā€™s a matter of drawing style...) we see a scene of interaction between Shirou and Michiru. She is seen making an extremely cute face and he looking her from above while she is sitting on the ground. He stares at her and then looks away (classic shojo situation between a tsundere boy and a cute girl).
I understand some people may perceive Shirou as older and their relationship as father/daughter, brother/sister, friends, parters, teacher/student etc... believe me, I see it kinda too sometimes. But I also ship them and like them romantically. Do I go to who doesnā€™t ship them lamenting? No. Itā€™s THEIR perception. I have mine (which has even some hints behind and itā€™s not as controversial as it seems) and they have their own. If people can ship two friends like Michiru and Nazuna (who canonly never showed something romantic officially, but still a valid ship even if I personally donā€™t ship it) why not Shirou and Michiru? Itā€™s okay to not see their bond as romantic and instead in another way. But let people have their own fun without doing an hunt and making people feel bad.Ā  This show is NOT even about romance in the first way. Itā€™s about mysteries, action etc...Ā  Please be respectful! And love BNA!

Please note that these are the results for the Manga Readersā€™ poll. If you wish to see the results for the Anime Only Watchersā€™ poll, click here.

RATE THE EPISODE 309 Responses
Tumblr media
Overall the episode was a hit with viewers, with the majority ranking it a 4 or higher. Over half of all respondents rating it a solid 5. The hype is real!
I thought this was a great episode. A lot of hype moments and the CGI worked for me, for the most part. Looking forward to the next episode!
All around exceeded my expectations if mappa keeps this up this will go down as the best anime in history
Chef's KISS!!! 10/10 episode, i was extremely hyped the entire time.Ā 
It was amazing and I hope MAPPA keeps up with the same quality for future episodes
Amazing episode really hype
I thought the voice acting was amazing! :)
Great episode, not perfect but neither was WIT. No adaptation is perfect. This was fantastic.
It was pretty good just maybe good have been done better but Iā€™m just happy it was done at all.
Iā€™ve lowered my expectations to rock bottom at this point
An enjoyable time.
I think it was great! I was very excited and left me wanting more tbh
It was a very good episode!! I'm so happy to see the survey corps again!
WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING MOMENTS WAS YOUR FAVORITE? 310 Responses
Tumblr media
Mikasaā€™s reintroduction to the series takes the largest piece of the pie, with 31.6% enjoying the scene the most. In second comes the coordinated attack from the Survey Corps against Porco, with 14.8% feeling that scene really brings the hype. At 10.3%, Leviā€™s first appearance in the season takes 3rd place, and with 9.7% is the overall fight between Eren and the War Hammer Titan.
Ackermans ran this episode as they should. They're on a whole different level.Ā 
Why isn't the Sasha-Gabi moment in the list of favourite moments? That's my actually favourite moment. Gabi seeing Sasha through the fire and smoke, Sasha's reflection in her eyes...chilling.
THE CGI CONTINUES TO BE A POINT OF CONTENTION. BE HONEST, HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE EXECUTION OF CGI SO FAR THIS SEASON? 309 Responses
Tumblr media
In general, the fandom appears to be understanding of MAPPAā€™s usage of CGI, with 38.2% being completely unbothered by it, 20.1% feeling that while itā€™s not ideal, it could be much worse, and 18.8% not particularly caring for it but not faulting MAPPA for it either. A handful of people just wish that there would be more appreciation that itā€™s getting animated at all, while others continue to be a bit salty about the usage of CGI this season.
Did people forgot the god-awful Colossal titan's CGI from WIT? Well, I didn't so I wasn't surprised by the same level of CGI in Eren's scene (thankfully just one of them). I rarely have issue with CGI in SnK except for truly awful looking ones so like couple of times in the season, usually.Ā 
I honestly wouldn't even know there's CGI if everyone wasn't complaining about it. I honest to god can't see where they use it.
It's mostly fine
I thought the war hammer titan looked AMAZING, the only CGI that looked odd was the scouts in the background, but thatā€™s really it...?
A few sore spots (e.g. Erens titan looked kinda off this ep), but it's not season-ruining yet.Ā 
CGI Titans >>>>>>>> CGI Survey Corps
It works fine for titans that already look somewhat mechanical (Armor, Jaw), but it looks incredibly awkward for the others, to the point of taking me out of the story.Ā 
Sometimes great sometimes shit
Maybe I've been spoiled by studio orange and the previous seasons, but I know for a fact that they can do better. This is not a new anime, this is the final season of one of the greatest anime of all time, so yeah I expected much better CGI, it was poor and unecessary.
i think itā€™s gr8/unnoticeable,,,,,like we all put up with the colossal titan in s1-3 lmao
Some Titans like Eren and Beast look a little weird but I just really like how they made effort to make it blend with the art style. Maybe if they had found a way to cut the animation down to 12fps it might not look so bad? Anyways I think itā€™s good for what it is, MAPPA is doing their best!
I barely noticed it. The animation looks BOMB. Top 5 episodes of the whole series for me and BEST action episode of AOT easily.
I'm always going to prefer 2D but I understand why they're using it. Still sad about what could've been if they were given enough time to work on the season. Definitely going to lower my expectations.
My dumbass wouldn't even notice, I just want to see the pretty people
I think the CGI for the Titans is completely fine. It's the CGI for the Scouts that was a bit off putting for me. Still, not enough to ruin the episode. And if we continue to get animation of this standard I will be fine with it.Ā 
At this point after episode 7 onward eventually AOT CGI is going to be worst than EX-arm's CGIĀ 
I love it because it makes the titans scarier and more eerie? I also miss the 2D ones because they feel more natural. Overall, I think it's fine!
I think the CGi is well executed (for the most part), I just don't like that they had to use it so much.
It's a great job. They manage to execute it very well and go to a normal animation when it's needed. It doesn't bother me tbh
HOW WAS ERENā€™S ROOFTOP SWAN DIVE? 309 Responses
Tumblr media
Erenā€™s dive in the anime was a bit different than in the manga, but it seemed to get a few laughs out of the fandom, so we asked you all to rank it. 58.3% felt it was the most beautiful dive to have ever dived, while only 5.5% think Eren really needs to work on his form. He did his best.
WHICH RETURNING CHARACTERā€™S ENTRANCE WAS YOUR FAVORITE IN THIS EPISODE? 310 Responses
Tumblr media
Mikasa stole the show this episode, with 53.5% enjoying her entrance the most. Levi wasnā€™t too far behind though, with 29% of respondents hyped over his return. 11.6% were very happy to see Sasha again, while smaller chunks were glad to see Jean and Connie.
They massacred my Jean-boyā€™s entrance šŸ„²
WHICH RETURNING CHARACTER HAS THE BEST MAPPA-STYLE GLOW UP? 304 Responses
Tumblr media
We got a more colorful and evened out pie for this question. Overall the largest chunk, at 24.3%, are enjoying MAPPAā€™s take on Erenā€™s iconic ā€œhobo chicā€ look. 21.1% think Sasha looks the best out of all of them, while Mikasa trails just behind her at 20.1%. 16.1% are grateful for Connieā€™s design, leaving 9.5% favoring Jean, and smaller handfuls appreciating MAPPAā€™s take on Levi and Floch.
Chubby Floch
Here I am watching the trailer all over again because that's probably the only way to see Jean animated handsome and with his actual manga face. MAPPA what happened?
Levi has a thicc ass
Iā€™m a big fan of all the time skip character designs, it was hard to pick just one favourite :)Ā 
Jean looked stupid... Floch too but that's not important.
OG characters designs feels a bit off to me. I understand why they use CG for some parts and I have mixed emotions about it. I hope they won't rely on it too much on the upcoming episodes.
#ITSTIMEMIKASA WAS TRENDING ON TWITTER BEFORE THE EPISODE AIRED. ON A SCALE OF 1-5, HOW MUCH DID IT LIVE UP TO THE HYPE? 304 Responses
Tumblr media
One of the most anticipated scenes of the Marley arc was the return of the Survey Corps and the way Mikasa paves the path for their reintroduction. The fandom appears to be very happy with MAPPAā€™s execution of the scene, with 60.9% of respondents rating it with a 5, with 27% rating it a 4.Ā 
EEEEEEEEEEK MIKASA
Mikasa! Mikasa! Gosh love her!
im so glad mikasa is back owfejgrnrkdfs
MAPPA INCLUDED FILLER AT THE BEGINNING OF THE EPISODE OF WILLY HESITANTLY DEPARTING FROM HIS TEARFUL FAMILY. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF THE ADDITION? 310 Responses
Tumblr media
The series isnā€™t known for having too much filler, but typically what filler does exist seems to be appreciated by the fandom, and this was no exception. 56.8% of respondents were happy for a little more fleshing out of Willyā€™s character (also learning that those kids were his!) and being able to sympathize more with him. 19.7% appreciated the more sympathetic addition until they remembered he was willing to throw Liberio under the bus for his plan. 13.5% are appreciative of any and all additional Willy content. A small amount didnā€™t like the filler and would rather have had MAPPA put their effort into other things.Ā 
I liked it. Got to see more of his fine ass. lmao
Don't add extra 2d animation if You can't even handle what's in the manga
It would've been better to show before he was dead. Fleshing him out after the audience already know he's dead doesn't hit as much imo
Wasn't one of the scene itself, but then again I'm always interested in scenes I haven't seen yet.
I am so grateful, willy for is one of my favourites and omg we got to see his family and how is he a lovely papa ļæ½ļæ½ļ潚Ÿ’• I can't ask for more bless you MAPPAšŸ¤˜
fuck them kids
Why should we feel bad for him? He tried to unite the world against Paradis. He got what he deserved.
this was a benefit. as manga readers, we had time to know willy. anime onlies will only ever have these 2-3 episodes and it was very humanizing
How is that possible that Tybur little kids in few seconds were louder nad more chaotic than THE WHOLE CITY DURING THE ATTACK??
It's very regrettable he left so many children fatherless because of what he chose to do. Really saddening..
Iā€™d have rather seen more of the manga animatedĀ 
I knew why they added it, but I (personally) think willy is crud. Not mad it's there tho!
He did his duty as a Tybur to the very end. Honestly I wish he could have lived longer, heā€™s a really compelling and interesting character.
I feel like some viewers have carelessly misunderstood Willy because of that scene in the carriage. They're like 'wow, he really hates and shames his own people huh?' but at the beginning of the episode we all saw his abundance of children. Would it not have been extremely contradictory if he had truly wanted the extinction of all Eldians and then at the same time did the complete opposite by mass-reproducing a small army of Eldian children? Maybe that's why that scene was added to the start of the episode, to keep people away from mischaracterising him. Unfortunately, this may have simply been missed or overlooked by some.Ā 
they should had polish the damn episode instead of fillers.
Loved it! Mappa is killing it with the episode additionsĀ 
Reading the manga, I truly didn't even consider the possibility that these were Willy's children because he is so obviously a ~*bachelor*~. Like, it didn't even cross my mind that those children weren't his little nieces and nephews because he is suuuuch a Theater Gay. Nothing can change my mind.
Wait a minute, are these the kids in that ending slide from season 3?
IN THE ORIGINAL CHAPTER 101, MAGATH IS THE ONE WHO ADVOCATES FOR KILLING EREN INSTEAD OF EATING HIM (IN CONTRAST TO HIS SUBORDINATE KOSLOW) AND NOTES THAT ā€œTHE AGE OF TITANS IS OVER.ā€ IN THE ADAPTATION, MAGATH INSTEAD ADVOCATES FOR EATING EREN, NOTING THAT KILLING HIM WOULD ONLY PROLONG THE PROBLEM. HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT THE CHANGE? 305 Responses
Tumblr media
A minor dialogue change didnā€™t seem to have much of an effect on nearly half of respondents, with 47.5% saying theyā€™re indifferent to the change. 43.3% like the change much better, feeling that it works a lot better with future story developments and makes more sense. A handful didnā€™t care for the change and felt it tampered with Magathā€™s overall characterization.Ā 
I think the change was logical and more consistent with the story, but I'm naturally skeptical of any AOT manga-to-anime change.
I forgot this.
It ovewrites the flaw of Magath's original plan. Even if I think its unfitting of him, it makes sense.
I'm not sure what I feel about it. Kinda like how they added Falco having a dream back in episode 1. For now, let's just see.
I suppose the new change is a little contradictory because Magath dislikes Marleyā€™s reliance on Titan power and rather just wishes th ey had prowess in other ways.Ā 
Realistically eating him makes more sense for them to eat Eren so they gain control of the Founder but I think Magath accepting the age of Titans is now done for is more in character.
It obviously makes more sense logistically, but I think it's important for Magath to stand opposed to Marley national policy on this front, like, symbolically.
BETWEEN UDO AND ZOFIA, WHO WOULD YOU HAVE LIKED TO SURVIVE TO RECEIVE MORE STORY IN THE MANGA? 304 Responses
Tumblr media
Though they are minor characters, the anime seems to have made some of the fandom a bit more fond of them. Still, 38.5% wouldnā€™t change anything about their fates, stating that they were necessary for Gabi to develop further as a character. 28% would rather neither of them died and are curious about how they would have developed if they lived to see another day. 23.7% say if they had to pick only one of them, it would be Udo due to his relevant commentary. A handful leaned toward Zofia, wishing they could have learned more about her.Ā 
Udo. But at the same time Isayama can barely handle all the characters that are still alive so Udo probably wouldn't get a lot of screen time anyway.
Zofia. I didn't care about her while reading the manga, but in the anime she was more unique. I liked her stoic voice a lot. Zofia and Gabi should have switch the places.Ā 
None cus i don't like Gabi
Both or neither. One would be just a third wheel to Gabi and Falco. I would love to see more of Udo and Zofia but I think their deaths were important
Udo and zofia's deaths hurt so bad. I didn't particularly care for either of them when reading the manga but i grown attracted to them in the anime. Udo's in particular breaks me. He was such a energic kid and he... got trampled to death. I'm just...
Neither. Both were serving an enemy nation and deserved what they got.
They weren't important to me so I don't really care
OPINION ON HOW THE ATTACK ON LIBERIO WAS PORTRAYED? 306 Responses
Tumblr media
47.1% of respondents didnā€™t want to pick sides, stating that the attack was tragic in both mediums of the story-telling. 25.8% felt that it was much more devastating in animated form alongside the sound, music and voice acting. 18.3% felt a bigger impact while reading the manga.Ā 
Both versions are devastating, but Manga hit harder bc I just was so confused and couldn't stop trying to figure out wtf Eren was doing and why. Watching it knowing what I know made it somehow more devastating and yet also more palatable (bc I have a better understanding.)
It was more devastating in the manga. Especially Udo's death sceneĀ 
I think I have to wait until the battle is over. So far it's alright.
Loved it
It gave me more emotions in the manga.Ā 
They got what they deserved
It was far more devastating in trailer šŸ™„
WE FINALLY HAVE A NAME FOR LADY TYBUR - LARA! THOUGHTS? 307 Responses
Tumblr media
One of the few characters left with no name after the large guidebook released a few years ago, Lady Tybur was all we could call her (aside from fan-given names). Now she has an official name! 26.7% found it neat that we finally got this official detail. 25.4% feel that now they can finally sleep at night. 17.6% are forever grateful for the name drop and hated waiting so long for it. 15.3% donā€™t care at all and 11.7% feel this confirms that Isayama is a fan of Tomb Raider.
Not what I was expecting and wasn't expecting her to get a name. At least people can stop calling her Emma or those other dumbass meme names.
Cool. Next up: names for the Blouse kids, right? Right right?
I'm not kidding when I say I literally jumped up and screeched "SHE HAS A NAME!!!"
she didn't need it. she was the mysterious lady t.Ā 
Lara was more lucky than Traute, who got more panels in the manga but her name was mentioned only in the guidebook.Ā 
Still died
WHICH SCENE FROM THE PREVIEW ARE YOU MOST LOOKING FORWARD TO? 306 Responses
Tumblr media
Of all the shots in the preview, 45.1% of respondents were most looking forward to Leviā€™s staged attack on Zeke. 17% favored seeing Mikasa assist Eren, 15% were most looking forward to seeing Falco emerge from the basement to see the carnage outside. 10.1% were stoked to see Pieck enter the battlefield. The episode has aired as of the publishing of these poll results - we hope these scenes lived up to the hype (even though we guessed one wrong lol).
ADDITIONAL THOUGHTS ON THE EPISODE?
I enjoyed the episode very much. I felt that the CGI was handled fairly well given the time restraints. However, there were a few instances where it was a bit jarring like Eren eating Willy, Eren pulling the WHT's cord, Mikasa landing on Eren, and Jean climbing up on the roof. Also some of the CGI models looked a bit weird for the scouts. I'm hoping some of these issues can be improved on in the Blue-ray version. Overall, these issues were noticeable but didn't take too much away from my enjoyment of the episode.
As much as I don't like the CGI, episode was great.
Just that it was fantastic and I can't wait for the next one!
The music is top notch. I love it. Especially the new version of XL TT near the end
After re-visiting the trailer we got for this season, it's just....saddening. Everyone was wondering how Mappa was gonna animate AoT and after seeing that trailer, all that effort by the animators, I thought "it's in good hands!". Now that we're getting the episodes and it's underwhelming. I don't blame the Mappa animators at all and cgi is unavoidable at some moments. But whoever are the higher ups who said "animate this in the shortest amount of time" ARE the assholes. It's so upsetting for this anime and the workers of it to be brought down like this :'(
Continuing to enjoy the pictures on the page come to life in the anime.
It was pretty amazing, I was waiting for so long to see this part animated! Aaand I'm so happy I got to see again the scouts! (expecially Connie, my personal fav)
Erwin should had lived instead of Armin, so Erwin can nuke Marley dropping from a blimp
I really liked it! I don't understand all the critics about the animation. It looks really neat and smooth
the SC backlit in that final scene was sickkkkk
It was different from the manga, but all the differences just improved the storytelling and fleshed out the people in Marley. Well done, MAPPA!
aaaaaaaaaaAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!
Iā€™m just grateful Mappa actually gives a shit about adapting the story properly. That alone makes this season a 9/10 for me cause thatā€™s rare to see in the anime industry these days.
THE OST WAS FIRE
Gabi's voice acting was amazing this episode ! Also, it feels good to hear the ODM gear sound effect again. The CGI didn't keep me from enjoying the fight, we got awesome camera movements and good choreography, I'm very hopeful for next episode ! Also best boy Onyankopon might appear soon ?
I seriously do not know why people are complaining. It was amazing! Can't wait for the next episodes, it's going to be action-packed and intense!
I don't know if I liked the episode or not. I usually prefer manga so even episodes I like I prefer their manga versions but there is something in off with the episode and usually, Titans fight are more excited but this one Nah it was not at all. War hammer was great in animation it served a better understanding of its powers but the fight, in general, was like boring?? idk maybe because I am a manga reader so the titan power/character's introduction was not as thrilling as they were when I've read the chapters. anyways, there is still more of the attack on liberio in the next episode so I'll give my final thought when we conclude the arc
I really enjoyed and the CGI doesn't bother me.
I think the reason Attack Titan looks a bit off is it looks a bit thinner! Warhammer looks amazing because it's a true copy of the manga. If Attack Titan was a bit buff, I think nobody would have that much of a problem. Overall the chapter is amazing!
as much as i adored everything else i must admit... what is wrong with the character design? what happened to everyone's jaws?? i think jean, mikasa and pieck were the worst drawn. in the manga, they look flawless.Ā 
I just hope we would get actual discussions in the sub instead of circle jerking or bitching about the cgi/ost etc.
The soundtrack was epic as hell
Mappa is doing a good job, with the little time they had. But sadly, they had the capacity to do way better and I will always regret this situation. And the Jojo memes on Mikasa are on point: in that specific panel, she looks ugly and unlike her cute face in the manga. For the rest of the episode, she's well portrayed
I think this episode is a taste of what is to come. Itā€™s one thing to read still, silent pictures of complete devastation, and itā€™s another thing to hear the explosions, the screaming and crying. Seeing the blood painted red instead of black and white. When Eren rumbles the world, more people will realize how evil it is, how completely irredeemable. Less people will be #teameren once they get to see it in the anime. I canā€™t wait to see what MAPPA has in store.
So many nice details in the battle that werenā€™t there in the manga, the war hammer animation was particularly great
I feel bad complaining, but this was the first episode of the season that has disappointed me at all. Every other episode I feel has elevated the manga. I don't want (and never expected) to be that person, but the CGI, especially on the humans (WHY??) was so awkward it was distracting. We also lost a little bit of expressiveness from Eren, which is kind of a big deal when there's so little from him to begin with.Ā 
Soundtrack was lit!!!!
It is what it is. But after I finished the episode I went back to watch the trailer and got sad that the season just isn't going to look like that. It's not bad by any means and I understand that these are people, not robots working on this with an extremely tight schedule. This entitled fanbase is super embarrassing with it's behavior and harassment of the people working on it. I kind of hope the final arc doesn't get animated now because these people don't deserve it.Ā 
Awesome! I was a bit distracted how the pacing was, cutting a bit weirdly from one episode to another, but I really enjoyed it!
That closeup of Eren's Titan after he nom'd Willy is NUTS.Ā 
It was emotionless and almost boring. The sound director keeps fucking up big time. I didnt feel anything close to the hype I felt watching the Armored/Colossal reveal animated. There were no exciting goosebumps, or tears. Nothing. Also the CGI was terrible. There were good things, but I expected much more for suck a climatic episode
It was a good episode after all, graphic was ok but i think that if they continued with the same titan 2d animation of first episodes and maybe changed a bit some sound it would have been waaay better. Still a good episode imho
The episode was very average. I'm not trying to complain, I know that the anime is mostly for anime-onlines, while we have a manga, but I expected better. I imagined the titan fight to be smooth, but in reality both - WHT and AT - moved like two, fat elephants. In the manga I felt that WHT was fast like a wind. In the anime Lara was slow, she looked like she had a hard time to even hold her hammer. The moment between Eren and Mikasa was disappointing. In the anime when Mikasa was upset about Eren's actions, he was completely unfeeling, while in the manga we see him being full of emotions and almost crying. I know he will turn into a cold bastard but MAPPA shouldn't dehumanize Eren so much now. I was surprised by Connie's glow up. MAPPA has done better job with him. In the manga he still looks like a kid, while MAPPA made him more mature-looking and masculine. That's good for underrated Connie. I'm grateful for the scene between Willy and his children. This way he feels more sympathetic and isn't ""just a guy who declared a war and was eaten by Eren"".Ā 
I really like how the warriors and Marleyans seem to be getting a somewhat equal amount of screen time as the scouts have gotten after they've come into the picture. I hope this helps to make clear for the anime-onlies that understanding the experiences, emotions and the development of the other side is just as important as understanding those of the scouts/Paradis.

Kaminari Denki headcannons!!
Bc itā€™s his bday and I love him (this will not cover his fam bc I switch between backstories with him so much that I just have no clue)
Buckle up bc this is a very long post I did not mean to get this deep lol
Letā€™s start with the most obvious- he makes friends easily, but Iā€™m not just talking other students, Iā€™m also talking the staff. This boy makes friends with the janitors and the lunch ladies and even the teachers!! He also makes friends with the security bots and pranks them a lot
This stems from him wanting ppl to like him. I think this bc of the fact that his character sheet says he likes all things ā€œtrendyā€ - I think he rlly wants to be known as the cool guy bc he is rlly insecure of himself
And as much as I think he is very trendy, I also think he is a big literature nerd! I believe he is more likely to listen to audio books tho, but Iā€™m not entirely 100% sure though. He tries to keep this underwrap, but eventually he does join momoā€™s book club and brings completely different analysis to the table :D
He is just generally into the arts (we see this in cannon- he plays guitar, is seen drawing Aizawa, references Hemingway) so I see him as a more creative guy rather than a logically minded dude
This boy has adhd, anxiety, and dyslexia and dyscalcula (he was able to work through dyslexia bc he read so much, but still has problems with his dyscalcula) and this causes issues for him in school. He also a HUGE procrastinator. He often feels stupid and dumb bc if it (also doesnā€™t help that even his friends joke abt it too, but as long as itā€™s just a joke he shouldnā€™t make a big deal abt it right??)
I say he has anxiety because of the way he reacts to when he is training- always panicking and frying his brain. I think what stans between him and being rlly op is his anxiety and view of himself
Speaking of him frying his brain, I headcannon he has litchenburg figures, which if u donā€™t know r these rlly cool scars that look kinda like branches with what kinda looks like flowers so cool tbh, and BEFORE u say ā€œhe obviously doesnā€™t have them cannonlyā€ let me just say that his quirk affects his brain cannonly!! Itā€™s not weird for it to also affect his skin!!! I think he might have had litchenburg figures if they were more commonly known as it is a very cool thing tbh
I also think that bc his brain gets impacted by his quirk, sometimes his nerves get impacted too. This means he sometimes canā€™t taste food (and he doesnā€™t eat it when he canā€™t taste it, which pisses Bakugo off) and he also canā€™t feel things as well (I believe the class figures this out after Denki went to poor himself some tea but didnā€™t know the kettle was still rlly hot and so he grabbed it not knowing he was burning himself until he handed it over to someone who then dropped the pot bc it was so hot- needles to say he had to go to recovery girl that day)
He has never been to the aquarium bc as a child he had terrible control over his quirk and that made ppl nervous to put him near water (he goes as a teen with the bakusquad and is absolutely floored- his favorite creatures are of course all the sting rays, jelly fish, and electric eel- cue bakusquad comparing him to the brainless jellyfish)
He also doesnā€™t know how to swim till he was in middle school (once he was in better control of his quirk he went out and learned to swim on his own bc he had to learn how if he wanted to be a hero u know? He never quit got the hang of it tho)
Storms make him very energized and his already low ability to focus worsens. Prone to accidentally zapping ppl. He mostly stays in his room when storms happen bc he doesnā€™t want to hurt ppl/ wreck electronics on accident. He doesnā€™t even get to chat with friends on the phone bc he would wreck it so storms get rlly lonely :(
Also is basically a lightning rod. It hurts bc of how forceful it is, but itā€™s also not that big of a deal to him
Is prtty forgetful unfortunately due to all the times he fried his brain. Itā€™s something he really tries not to think about
He probs canā€™t sleep very easily due to all his energy
He hates frying his brain bc itā€™s very hard to understand whatā€™s going on when he does. Everything is a lot more sluggish and things are simultaneouslyļæ¼ way too much and he gets hyper sensitive and at the same time his senses are also very groggy and weird. Itā€™s over all a bad time, but he got used to it
Whenever he fried his brain instead of being all wheyyy and thumbs upy he use to act more vegetative which rlly freaked ppl out so he eventually learned to get to where he is now when he fries his brain
Kids use to take advantage of his whey mode and do pranks on him which often got him hurt, but he never rlly felt it at first so he didnā€™t mind to bad. As long it was just joking and they were having fun right??
Time for happy ones!! His favorite foods (besides burgers, those r his favorite cannonly) all have some coralation with memes (speggeti tacos, mac n cheese, ā€œchonkyā€ milk, chicken nuggy, etc)
He is a meme lord yes
Stans pikachu (obvi)
U cannot convince me that he doesnā€™t paint his nails black, maybe with a little lightning bolt on his middle finger. This boy cannonly wears a choker common
He does face masks with Mina!! I believe he cares abt his looks greatly, and does beauty routines with Mina all the time. Iā€™m constantly switching btween wether or not he owns it, or is a bit insecure and tries not to show this side to much to the boys
Why does this show not give him skinny jeans?? I mean common his entire style calls for skinny jeans. Maybe itā€™s Japan fashion or smth bc if it was in America heā€™d have skinny jeans bc itā€™s the trendy thing u know
Cannot cook. Can barely work the microwave. Claims unmarked food and eats it at midnight
Has a lot of weird info stored in his brain- how weather works, psychology stuff, weird facts abt bees, etc- that he learns randomly, never rlly trying to learn them but it sort of just happens u know. This frustrates Bakugo and jirou to no end bc he knows all these useless facts about how 1,200,000 mosquitos is all it takes for them to all at once drain a human of all their blood in a second, but not about how to work the pathagorean theorem
Idk why I think this (and itā€™s a popular headcannon too), but he knows at least 3/4 languages. It just suits him?? Bc he is a ppl person??? I donā€™t know??
Gets major test anxiety
Teachers either love him or hate him no in between. A lot of his elementary teachers absolutely hated him and would tear him down by calling him stupid and annoying. In middle school when he learns to control his quirk better, teachers rlly liked him- in the way that class clown trouble makers are liked by teachers. He may not excel in his class but he is a pretty funny dude.
He is constantly either underestimated or overestimated. Kaminari himself does this as well. Itā€™s part of the issue with his hero training
Cats do not like him. They may like being petted bc if the static electricity, but when Kami pets cats he just absorbs the static- no pleasure :(((- or he accidentally has too much static electricity. If so then only tge rlly fluffy cats like him. Either case, shinsou finds a cat that likes kaminari as well and it is very cute :33
THE class prankster. Even on the teachers! The death glare Aizawa gave him on the one time prancing him worked is one kaminari will never forget (he still tries to prank him despite this lol)
Constantly teasing Bakugo as a way to press his buttons. Itā€™s debatable on wether or not this helps bakugoā€™s anger issues
He is the wingman between Bakugo and Kirishima change my mind!!
Also mandatory kaminari is bisexual headcannon bc he rlly gives me those vibes. I think he doesnā€™t know yet that heā€™s bisexual, and when he thinks a fellow bro is hot he thinks heā€™s just admiring his bro u know. Maybe even thinks he is jealous. He does flirt with all genders tho mostly as a joke. He draws dicks as jokes but he always puts a little too much detail in them for him to rlly be straight
Can be used as a defibrillator as long as he can focus
Honestly thereā€™s so much stuff kaminari has the potential to do with his quirk itā€™s a shame the manga/anime doesnā€™t use itļæ¼
Like I rlly want to see him use his quirk in training to blow out all the lights in a building so he can use it for his advantage
Thatā€™d be badass
Also his quirk makes him very hard to be caught when their training. He can slip out of ppls grasp easily with a shock, and he also just has good reflexes in genral (I think this is cannon). Cue class 1-a running around trying and failing to catch him lol. Their best bet is to get him to fry his brain :(
He was popular in school before UA bc of his quirk and bc of how charming and easy to get a long with he is. This lead a lot of his friends to be very shallow. He didnā€™t rlly think about wether or not someone was trying to be his friend or not, he just liked being liked. This lead him to his whole liking trendy things, and he often felt that if he wasnā€™t seen as cool or funny his friends would all leave him. His whole rlly liking to talk thing caused a lot of ppl to think he was annoying at times, but he was never rlly able to lose that trait
The bakusquad was the first friend group he got rlly close too. He felt he can be himself around them and be the crackhead he was always meant to be. He still always concerned about wether they might leave him if heā€™s too annoying bc of anxiety but heā€™s getting better :)
He is a bringer of chaos and thatā€™s part of his charm! Never dull with Denki around. Heā€™s always doing the weirdest stuff, and ever since Mina, Kiri, and Sero, this has only doubled!
He is always calling Momo a genius (bc she is) and they are rlly good friends
Is an unofficial emo squad member (just look at his hero costume)
A sinnamon roll Iā€™m srry but he ainā€™t a cinnamon roll. He has a dirty mind lol
Peepee jokes
Probably does tik tok dances Iā€™m sorry
Nintendo fan for life
Xbox or PlayStation?- ā€œNintendo wut u meanā€
Abbreviates so much itā€™s kinda hard to read,. Like if u thought I was bad this boy is soo much worse
Itā€™s kinda ironic bc he has a very large vocabulary lol
He only uses it when heā€™s being sassy or very passionate
Mixes his gen z lingo with his big brain vicab to create atrocities of sentences
ļæ¼ļæ¼ā€bro the rise of the proletariat is litļæ¼ tbhā€
He is the worst to text with. He gives Bakugo aneurysms
Yeet yote to be yoted
3am shower thoughts
Unpopular opinion: i donā€™t think he likes weed. It probs reminds him too much of his whey mode
Heā€™s a good strategist, but letā€™s the other team members think of the plans bc of insecurity, and otherwise his anxiety causes his smartness to shut downļæ¼ļæ¼
Very good at zoning out. Sometimes he accidentally zones out so hard during class he misses the entire lesson and is only brought out bc of the school bell. Aizawa is best at snapping him out of it
Tbh I donā€™t think UA would be good with mental health. Youā€™d think theyā€™d hire a professional therapist or smth, but maybe itā€™s bc heroā€™s are so glorified ppl donā€™t ever think about these issues
I doubt the teachers had very good teacher training u know
Weā€™ve mostly seen young heroes. I bet thatā€™s bc they die so often, and if they donā€™t die in battle the mental health issues that stem from trauma and the mediaā€™s pressure are such an issue that itā€™s not uncommon for hero work to have high suicide rates
Anyway Iā€™m starting to lose track of things thanks for coming to my ted talk I think Iā€™ll stop here

Weā€™ve gone from Self-Isolation to Quarantine and in some places to gradual relaxation phases, but that doesnā€™t stop the need for more nonsense you can watch on youtube while you wait for things to get back to normal. And recommending things and making lists are some of my favourite things to do but I have not yet figured out how to start or structure a video myself, you guys get another rambling tumblr post of things you can watch on youtube.
This time Iā€™m once again just gonna recommend individual videos rather than full channels like I did in part 2.
Part 1
Part 2
In no particular order;Ā 
LOCAL58: The Broadcast Station that Manipulates You
Tumblr media
I recently started watching the Nexpo channel when I went on a binge of creepy youtube videos. Most of his videos are really good although the ones where he himself goes into theory crafting can be a little asinine. However, this video is REALLY good. And before you get nervous, LOCAL58 is not a real TV station. LOCAL58 is a youtube channel created by the same guy behind the Candle Cove creepypasta. This video by Nexpo covers the various episodes of LOCAL58 and discusses them. Just be aware going in that this is abstract horror, and will probably get under your skin regardless if youā€™re unaffected by certain topics or not. although cw for suicide mention.
I also recommend most of the rest of this channel, although be careful where you tread. I donā€™t recommend his series ā€œDisturbing things from around the internetā€ as it can sometimes include real life crime, abuse and such caught on security cameras. Everything else is really good tho. (although I was really annoyed by his 2 videos on KrainaGrzybowTV)
The Search for D.B. Cooper
Tumblr media
LEMMiNO has a new video out covering one of the most unexplained crimes in the past century of the US. LEMMiNO is the guy Iā€™ve recommended before who did videos on the Universal S. He is very down to earth and not someone prone to conspiracy or even really that fanciful of thinking. (Heā€™s like the one person I feel covered the Dyaltov Pass incident and was confused by why this was even a mystery because if you read the Russian Autopsy reports and documents associated with the case itā€™s all pretty logical and easily explained)
D.B. Cooper is the name given to a man who, in 1971, hijacked an airplane with a bomb, asked for a large sum of money, and after receiving it, parachuted from the plane and was never seen or heard from again.
The Austrian Wine Poisoning | Down the Rabbit Hole
Tumblr media
Down the Rabbit Hole also has a new video out, this time covering the Austrian Wine Poisoning event from 1985. A scandal that involved literally the entire country of Austria, affected multiple countries, and forever changed the way wine was made world wide. As someone who is generally pretty allergic to most artificial substances this one made me personally very angry. But luckily, it has a happy ending and a better world for us all... if I could drink wine which I canā€™t do anyway.
The Turbulent Tale of Yandere Dev - A Six Year Struggle
Tumblr media
The Right Opinion is another channel I only recently subbed to after watching his cover on Onion Boy. I put off subbing to him simply because of his channel name and I thought it meant he would come across as smug and elitist. Luckily this seems to merely be one of those ā€œI chose a bad channel name and now Iā€™m stuck with itā€ type of situations. (IHE has a similar problem).
Anyway, I have a weird interest in bizarre internet personalities, so Iā€™ve been enjoying his channel as he simply discusses and presents a timeline of events of certain individuals. In this video, he covers the developer behind the much maligned Yandere Simulator. Itā€™s a tale of hubris, arrogance, immaturity, and an unwillingness to accept your own shortcomings due to ego.
Oh and thereā€™s a meme game about Japanese school girls with anime tiddies in there as well.
The Most Relaxing Anime Ever Made | Yokohama Kaidashi Kikō
Tumblr media
Kenny Lauderdale is a youtube channel which is slowly becoming bigger which Iā€™m very happy to see. He exclusively covers anime and live action Japanese television no younger than the mid 90s (as is the case with YYK) and which usually never saw a release outside of Japanese Laserdisc. I do wish his videos were a little longer, but if nothing else his videos serve as an excellent starting to point to find some older and underappreciated shows... or hot garbage fires. In this episode he talks about the 2 OVA episodes made based on one of my favourite manga, Yokohama Shopping Log. A Post apocalyptic anime about an android who runs a coffee shop outside of her house, and the quiet solitude of living in a world of declining human population, brief encounters with travelers and other people, and just... existing. The anime was never released outside of Japan and is only available on Japanese VHS and laserdisc.... but hey guess what!! Somebody uploaded both episodes, subbed, to Youtube.

YMSā€™ slow descent into madness as he uncovers just how bullshit the Kimba Conspiracy is
Tumblr media
Iā€™m linking a full playlist for this one.
YMS is busy planning his review on the ā€œlive actionā€ Lion King remake as the original 1994 movie is probably his favourite movie all time (and also self declared what made him a furry). As part of the 2 hour review, he decided to what all 2000 hours of Kimba the White Lion just to mention how The Lion King potentially stole the idea. ....until he actually watched all 2000 hours of Kimba and realised that if you actually WATCH Kimba, it has VERY little to do with the Lion King at all apart from having the same animals in them because AFRICA. Watch as one man slowly loses his mind as he realises just how stupid this conspiracy theory is, just HOW DECEITFUL and straight up LYING people can be. People who write BOOKS. People who teach LAW AT UNIVERSITIES. Because NOBODY bothered to actually watch the entire show and just parroted the ā€œDisney stole thisā€ lie which got started by like 2 salty fans on the internet.
The man set out to just mention how Disney stole an idea, and uncovered one of the most infuriating rabbit holes on the internet. Screaming for SOMEONE to provide him with sources or evidence.
YMS will be publishing his full Kimba documentary this month which he has said is around 2 hours long before he continues to work on the Lion King one.
Science Stories: Loch Ness eDNA results, Poop Knives, and Skeleton Lovers
Tumblr media
TREY the Explainer has a video giving us some updates in Archeology from 2019. In this video he discusses the findings of the eDNA results conducted on the Loch Ness to see what animal DNA the lake contains which will tell us what living animals currently inhabit the lake, ancient knives made of poop and if this is a real thing that could have existed, and a skeleton couple found buried together which were at first thought to be lovers, then revealed to be both male, and then how in this instance we cannot let our modern sensibilities dictate what we WANT this burial find to be, but to look at the evidence as presented to us and place in context finds of this nature. The worst thing an archaeologist can do is look for proof to a theory they already have.
The Bizarre Modern Reality of Sonic the Hedgehog
Tumblr media
Super Eyepatch Wolf is back and heā€™s here to talk to us about the very very strange existence of Sonic. a 90s rebellious ā€œtoo cool for Schoolā€ answer to Mario, a lost idea as the world of video games changes and culture shifted, a meme and punching bag amplified by a unique fanbase and poor quality games, a transcendence into a horrific warpedĀ  idea of what he once was, and modern day and where Sonic and his fans are now. As usual Super Eyepatch Wolf knocks it out of the park.
Kokoro Wish and the Birth of a Multiverse: A Lecture on the Work of Jennifer Diane Reitz
Tumblr media
I donā€™t even sub to this channel as Iā€™m not entirely sure what Benā€™s usual content is about. But every now and then he has a ā€œ101ā€³ class, where he explains to a room full of his friends in a classroom setting (complete with Whiteboard) an internet artist and oddity, the timeline, and what it is they have created. (wait... didnā€™t I say this already?). Unlike TRO however, the 101 classrooms are not a dark look into disturbed individuals (although the CWC 101 is debatable) nor is it a ā€œlol look at this weirdoā€ dragging. Instead, of the 3 heā€™s done so far, itā€™s usually a rather sympathetic look at some of the strange artists on the internet who through some way or another, left a very big cultural impact on the internet space through their art. Sometimes they may not be the best people, but their work is so outside of what weā€™re used to seeing that just listening to him run you through these peopleā€™s internet history is fascinating.
In this episode he talks about Jennifer Diane Reitz. And although it is titled Kokoro Wish, the lecture is more about Jenniferā€™s larger work back in the early internet when being a weeb was unheard of, how being trans influenced her stories and characters, and her world building that is so rich and in-depth with itā€™s own ASTRO PHYSICS it puts any modern fictional world found in games or movies to shame.
Jennifer is not exactly a nice person... and in many ways can be seen as dangerously irresponsible, but she created something truly unique in a way that you kinda struggle figuring out if itā€™s terrible or a work of genius.
Anyway I think thatā€™s enough for now

My Hero Academia: SEASON 2 thoughts
Tumblr media
Onward we go with season 2 that is half UA Sports Festival and then we get the Stain brawl and some exams to end on.
Itā€™s not the most exciting season, but it holds a special place for me cuz for some reason i enjoy the school activities as much as fights against villains. The sport festival intruduces many characters, Shinso is presented like a bad guy and i really like the misderection with his character, that also started to show some flaws on howĀ ā€œheroesā€ are selected, setting the stage for Stain. I live in the internet so i know he will play a bigger roll on season 5 and i wanna see ehat happens.
Meiā€™s first scene is also meant to make us feel like Ochaco, towards her and while her lack of boundaries is kinda creepy, she knows what she wants and goes for it (much to Iidaā€™s pride) and i respect that
We also meet a few students of Class 1-B, some intrigue me (like the guy thatā€™s all black with white hair) some are cool (like Tsuburaba and Honenuki) and some are great comic relief (Tetsu and Monoma) Season 5 trailers show Class vs Class, so iā€™m excited for that.
On the character development side itā€™s all about Deku and Todoroki. i like their rivalry much more than with Bakugo cuz even before they consider themselves friends, they respect each other. Todoroki story is a bit too dramatic, (in the sense that itā€™s obvious this is fiction) but i still like him cuz his whole character isnā€™t just that.Ā 
Other things worth talking about are Momoā€™s lost of confidence that is adressed later on. A point i wanna make is that it wasnā€™t just her tournament performance that had her down, she also had the worst intership experience and itā€™s a shame. Ochacoā€™s motivations are indeed nobel. And we see in a more practical way than season 1 how clever she and Bakugo are in their respective fights.
Stain/Hosu attack
ā€œHeroes should not want fame and money in returnā€ is an idea i honestly believe too. Not that iā€™m saying firefighter shouldnā€™t get paid, but itā€™s true that celebrity culture in the real world is kinda dumb. iā€™ll never get why football players gain millions or how someone can become famous not for their work but cuz social media exists. But in the MHA world celebrities are saving people no matter the reason behind it so the morals are a bit less clear.
It was a good section of episodes seeing Iida bent on revenge learn his lesson with Todorokiā€™s and Dekuā€™s help.
The aftermath of Stain was also a nice surprise, it was a master move on All for Oneā€™s part, but we just get teased and briefly meet Toga and Dabi in the season finale so not much to say for now.
A highlight was seeing Endeavor kick some Nomu ass and see that even awful dads can be good heroes.
All for One
In episode 20 we get to know the full story behind All Mightā€™s power and it turned out to be what i expected. But i gotta say knowing that Dekuā€™s powers will be explored in season 5 has me kinda worried on how everything will fit into what we know from this episode and the One for All legacy.
Final exams
They were a blast to watch, loved each pair, tho itā€™s a shame that the show who was capable of giving us a Tsu filler episode about her internship, based on a comment she makes in the manga didnā€™t feel the need to flesh out teachers like Powerloader or team-ups like Shoji and Hagakure.
That said the exception is the quiet cinnamon roll that is Koji, he has the cool power of talking to animals which makes me wonder how he passed the UA tests to begin with. and iā€™m glad that even if heā€™s a background student he starts to break out of his shell from now on.
As i said before Momoā€™s mini arc this season was a favorite, and my only dislike from this section is thatĀ ā€œBakugo: Originā€ wasnā€™t really his origin just a step forward in his development, good, but the few flashbacks we see donā€™t feel that relevant unlike the ones inĀ ā€œTodoroki: Originā€
Thatā€™s it for season 2, with a heavy focus onĀ ā€œschool lifeā€ and character interactions, sets the stage for the awesome action and plot development of season 3

i Wanna write but im also Tired so i wont write atm but i also miss talking about gran so imma just mention stuff i wanna talk about eventually but most likely wont talk about properly
gran & scars?? burn marks?? i was thinking about it since i was being shamed for thinking vaseragas sexi again a while ago, but he keeps saying his face is hideous so i kinda just wanted them....to talk about it. in a way thats kindaĀ ā€˜i dont feel bad about it, but i know ppl reactā€™?? but i mean, over the years ive gone back & forth regarding the scar the hydra caused & if itā€™s visible or not, since canon is different too (ingame doesnt show it, but manga does). and both have their potential.....and while i prefer to go with scars overall im not sure how imma view healing magic to work,,,, realistically grans upper body shouldnt be in the Best shape considering all the stuff thats happened but,,,,,,,ill forever be on edge on it i guess? atm imĀ ā€œya hydra, right behind u & robomi 3 left scarsā€ tho
platinum sky where grans so uncomfortable with the attention from the news ppl..........save them from interviews..... anime s2 had them being Really tired out during the official setting too....... its not strangers that tire them out, its more so...official settings where they have to be Proper and Fancy and speak Well. PLEASE THEYRE A FARMER KIDDO THEYRE MORE COMFY IN THE FIELDS. theyā€™re not Superinto attention like that. they grow into the captain role, but they have a tendency to?? blend in with the crowd?? itā€™s more skilled fighters who immediately can tell granā€™s a threat, or if the situation turns dire cuz then they tend to have a more serious aura. more in that sense ykno!!!! especially since grans still at most a Young Adult i think its Neat if ppl assume someone else is the captain at first cuz Theyre Too Young
GOD SPEAKING OF S2, THE WAY GRAN CAN TELL THINGS ARE WRONG? they noticed katalina was Weird before albion & even more so during their talk. they notice eugen isnā€™t trusting them fully too, which is Fine but i feel like grans the kinda person who Wants ppl to be honest with them......... during caglis event she withheld info about who she thought was the enemy, but that was because she knew that if gran got worried the rest of the crew would be worried too,,,,,,, i mean, grans not the Best at reading ppl, but they tend to notice a change of air, even if they donā€™t push to talk about it. and overall gran Gets why ppl would hold back (they do it too), but i guess theyā€™d also feel a bit weird about it since they nvr got any answers when they asked when they were a kid either. so they tend to prefer to not be in the dark when things happen
edit: god i reread this part and im sorry for being the fool whos likeĀ ā€œfav: breathes me: ARE YALL SEEING THISā€ yall have full rights to make fun of me
tying into before too but.........grans not always the most talkative in bigger groups. itā€™s less noticeable one-on-one, but they do have the tendency to be the one speaking less. but theyā€™re very attentive to people & what they say.

I've FINALLY watched every Death Note adaptation and spin-off, so here are my thoughts and ratings for all of those, including the original:
Japanese Musical (2015): Easily the best anime/manga based musical I've ever seen. Not only did it cover the most important things from the original, not only did the stage interior and effects look good while being very simple (and probably cheap?), but the songs are so damn good and catchy, I find myself humming and singing them often.
Now, I think the japanese versions of the songs have very simple lyrics, sometimes to the point of being a little silly ("you'll die, I'll win", for example, from the song "Last Moments"), while the english versions of the songs have a bit more depth and are perhaps a bit more poetic.
However, sometimes that simplicity works REALLY well (from the same song I mentioned, the part that comes after that one line, sung by another character, is "Can you not see what's left? There is only emptyness when the game is over". That's very effectful while also being SO true, for both of the main characters. The english version, while great, didn't even mention emptyness).
The actors and singers were mostly very good! There was a few (like the person who plays Sayu, and some supportive characters) that didn't sing that well, but because they rarely sang in the musical, it didn't ruin the overall experience for me. I love the actors/singers who played L and Light. They both captured what the characters are all about, and they sang well.
The ending to the musical is probably the best of all the different Death Note endings imo. Maybe not the perfect ending, but still darn good. My only compaint as far as writing goes, is that L's "your my first friend" line doesn't feel genuine... because he and Light had only played a tennis match together before that. In the original story, they interacted more before L said that, making it feel genuine. Otherwise, great stuff. 8/10.
Death Note, the first two japanese live action movies: They are OK. They made some changes but covered most of the important stuff from the manga. I think these two movies probably serve as a decent introduction to the Death Note universe, but are also good for people who just prefer watching movies over longer series/anime.
The actors aren't the best, but I've definitely seen worse. CGI looks preeetty bad, so the Shinigami looks like PS2 models (thankfully, they look way better in Light up the new world). The ending to the 2nd movie is pretty satisfying, something I think most fans would agree with. 7/10.
Light up the New World: It was better than I thought it would be. It took ideas that were already in the manga and mixed them into a new story, and it had... mixed results. It had some enjoyable and well directed scenes tho, and I think the new main characters were alright.
The finale was probably my favorite part, even if it was kinda typhical. You have to watch the first two live action movies to understand this one tho. 6/10.
TV drama: L was to much of a silly pretty boy, Light having feelings for Misa was kinda dumb and pointless, and Mello wasn't even a real person in this version (and that doll of him was just creepy).
It does have some good moments tho, with some interesting new stuff. And it's nice to finally have an OK live action version of Near, even if he was different from how he was like in the original. 5/10.
L: Change the World: What does some virus have to do with Death Note? And how is a movie focusing on L so dull?! Many scenes were quiet, boring and didn't reveal anything of importance, not about the characters, nor about the plot. About as exciting as waiting for your toast to pop up from the toaster... actually that's more exciting, because atleast, you get bread.
Sometimes, I THOUGHT something interesting would happen, but nope. None of the new characters were interesting either, and the actors were not good. The only "good" part of the movie was when L's kids started crying, and he just sat there awkwardly in the background, drinking tea, lol.
Oh, and Near sucked in this version and I kept forgetting that that random, annoying kid was supposed to be him (isn't revealed until the end but anyway). This is another movie that you'll only understand if you've watched the first two live action movies. 3/10.
Netflix: Pure garbage. I was bothered by how dumb Light was (and the twist at the end didn't make him seem smarter, even if the creator wants us to think that) and how he didn't have the same drive to create a better world like the original Light, and L acted WAY to emotional and not very smart, and he's supposed to be the world's greatest detective.
But the movie's biggest problems, imo, are the terrible actors, the crappy direction, the unnecessary goore, and most of all: the Death Note rules that they establish at the start only to break them in the end. The Light/Mia romance was bad too. Also, the music Adam Wingard chose for most scenes didn't match the mood at all. This movie's a joke. 2/10.
Manga: The original really is great. The first two halves of the story had so many exciting and well written scenes, and all the main characters got fleshed out, and every supportive character had some use for the story too (except Ibe, I guess).
Some people don't like the last third of the story, but I kinda do. Sure, it's a shame L died, but both Near and Mello were good characters, and I feel fans don't appreciate them as they should, least of all Near, who seem to get a lot of hate for whatever reason.
I also liked Mikami, and the last third of the story had several amazing moments, like Souichiro's death, the SPK wasting L's money to distract the Kira supporters, Kira's confession, etc. It was also interesting to see how the world had changed their view on Kira after the time skip.
Death Note had plenty of exciting moments, had fascinating characters, a great rivalry (between L and Light), had some good jokes, and it's one of those kinds of stories that makes you want to discuss about right and wrong, one justice vs another, and so on.
The art was great, and got better as the series continued too. The speech bubbles kinda covers up some of that beautiful art tho, lol. My only real problem with Death Note is that it should've been longer. I wanted to seen more of the characters and see them interact, see more of the shinigami, and I wanted the other Death Note rules to be used to Light's advantage. 9/10.
Anime: Just as great as the manga...but I enjoyed it even more than the original because of the great direction, soundtrack and VAs. Kappei was the perfect L, and Miyano was the perfect Light. All the VAs fit their characters.
I had no problem at all with how MADHOUSE changed Light's death. It felt more sad than pathethic like in the manga, but watching him die alone, thinking that he saw L before he died, was very effectful. Also, the sad feeling fits well with Miss committing suicide . I've seen people complain about the rain scene, but it's actually pretty good, even if L acts slightly ooc (he's back to his usual self in the scene after, which makes it extra whiplash-y, but eh, whatever. I think it was nice to see a more human side of him). 9/10.

Rank the Persona games? + What do you think of ulala?
(edit forgot about ulala thought it was a diff ask. I love her)Iā€™mma just rank what I prefer rather than numbers like with Zero Escape. Focusing on the story (gameplay wise I prefer P3/4/5 to P1/2 and I prefer P2 to P1, and I like all the spinoff games)
P2(both)/P4>P3P (FeMC)>P3MaleSide>>>P1>>>>>P5
P4D>PQ1>Arena>P3D/Ultimax>P5D (PQ2 isnā€™t out yet but I expect it to be on the higher end just cause the FeMC is there and yeah Iā€™ll be like that 8U)
(reasoning below)
P2 has a great balance of characters and plot, P4 I just love the characters and how they handle them and flesh them out (not so surprisingly they both have Shadow Selves and I just loooooooove me those Shadow Selves, itā€™s what drew me into the series to begin with).
FeMC I rank above Male just cause how a few changes (such as being closer to SEES) helped with some of my issues with P3 (esp since the game is likeĀ ā€œoh you are all closer nowā€ and I was likeĀ ā€œhow? why?). MaleMC for the manga/anime/spinoffs is tied with the FeMC since they do develop that aspect I felt they lacked in the base game. Iā€™ll boost Game!MaleMC up to tying with the FeMC when they fix his side tho. 106th time is the charm but damn it theyā€™ll get it right. 8V jk jk
P1 has a fine story, the only thing holding it back is itā€™s characters imo. They arenā€™t bad butā€¦..they are a bit shallow (by which I mean they arenā€™t as fleshed out as they could be), and they are a bitā€¦.relient on tropes of that time period. Instead of giving more info on the characters sayyyyyy Ayase, you just kinda know sheā€™s just one of those Kogal girls rather then explain why and go into it. If you just know of the kogal girl trope during that time period, then you are good on her character. If you donā€™t thenā€¦.rip.Ā 
P5, we all know how I feel. Also as someone who loves the shadow selvesā€¦..yeahā€¦.was veryā€¦.very upset with how they handled them in this game.
P4D, fun gameplay (includes greate music and choreo), good story, and best characterization.
PQ1, fun gameplay, good story, characterization isnā€™tā€¦..the bestā€¦. but damn if those stroll events werenā€™t fun. Group Date Cafe is god-like too.
Arena, good story, half good characterization (some characters are great, some are getting into flanderization territoryā€¦..mostly the characters with a joke end)ā€¦.I always forget Liz has a route in this game tooā€¦.dunno why, just a fun fact. XD
P3D, fun gameplay (same as P4D), characterization I think is fine (aka I didnā€™t see anything out of the ordinary when playing the Japanese ver, which is a good thing), sadlyā€¦.it lacks a ā€œrealā€ story modeā€¦..that being said it couldā€™ve been sooooooooo much better. Itā€™s a shame it got held back by P5D. I had the most fun between this one and P5D tbh. I do wish they had more tracks and had more variety like P4D did, but it still had variety so thatā€™s good.
Ultimax, good gameplay, characterization went down the crapper sadly, bungled mess of a storyā€¦..that being said the contents of the story (past the BS) is really interesting and itā€™s a shame it got bungled the way it did.Ā 
P5D, gameplay is good butā€¦..the choreo and music isā€¦.less than stellar sadly. I already had an issue with P5ā€²s music, but the less than stellar remixes, the lack of variety in music genre (unlike P4D or P3D), and the lack in variety of even tracks to choose from (P3/4D could pick from a bunch of different games, and P5 only had one hence a lot of Wake Ups and Last Surprises). Not actually sure about the characterizationā€¦.mostly cause P5ā€²s characterization is a bungled mess (example Anneā€™s not an airhead in the main story but the make her an OOC one in her CoOp, and I feel like they keep her CoOp airheadedness in this). Kind of a quandary sinceā€¦.P5 isnā€™t consistentā€¦and thus I dunno how to gauge P5D cause of this. I hated the choreo too, I donā€™t care ifĀ ā€œoh they donā€™t know how to danceā€ like itā€™s a dream world they can do whatever donā€™t give me this BS. With pretty much everyoneā€¦.their first dance was at best really good or at worst passable, with their 2nd dance being of lower quality to their 1st dance. It was painful to play. (I did think some of the remixes were goodā€¦.when they were being original and didnā€™t sound like their sourceā€¦.whichā€¦.isnā€™t good causeā€¦as soon as it went back to resembling the base song I was likeĀ ā€œoh welp there goes that good timeā€). This game deserved better too, they shouldā€™ve waited as to give it more songs to choose from. More dances. It sucks it lost content for P3D to exist at the same time too.Ā
