I was so sure this had been cancelled. Glad to see otherwise

Mashiba Vs Sawamura still not animated is criminal

Hard to give advice with no context. What do you like in other mediums? Anime is broad.

Even your fav Ghibli movies would help. I’d have different recommendations for some whose fav was Princess Kaguya as apposed to Pom Poko or Nausicaa

Not too worried since they aren’t adverse to put out shorter stuff like Luluco and Inferno cop. Or do a star wars Visions or Cyberpunk. They definitely feel like they have some business consciousness decisions to do the stuff they like

I think there’s been a couple but the only one I was able to extract from my brain was Uzaki-chan: Link

If you can veto actions related to investigating your own country, that seems like a failure of the rules put in place. Why wouldn’t someone do that?

Apply laws that allow the removal of votes of those affected by such things. This should be an obvious decision. At the point it can be abused, the system has already completely failed since it’s a vote anyway.

Some great art for sure but some pretty dark humour in some parts so you definitely need to tread lightly if that’s not your thing. Obviously mutilation but it also touches on Sexual Assault/Rape

I was going to add Ao Ashi OP2 also as it immediately stood out but I don’t think it hits as hard without context. It is better produced but the same vibes as Ace of Diamond OP3 where when you are invested in the character it hits way better

Gonna avoid stepping on other toes.

Hell’s Paradise

Beastars

Baccano

Ya boy Kongming

JoJo Op 2

Also shout-out toSayonara Zetsubou Sensei who’s op feels drastically different with context.

Netflix could be a reason. I don’t even remember discussion about JoJo part 6. The only netflix show I’ve seen active discussion about in the past few years is Baki and I’ve been actively searching for it

I don’t think they’re twiddling their thumbs while doing these deeds, it’s just so normalized in their ecosystem they don’t even rationalize how bad it actually is. Like they probably don’t think it’s “that bad” for reasons like conditions, or maybe it’s just the kids are happy to get paid a lot so they don’t see it as irrational.

Not justification, not condoning, still disgusting and immoral

The managers who make the decisions is also unclear as power differs on the company. They could care all the way up to the CEO but if the CEO puts an unrealistic deadline, the game has an unrealistic deadline

I’m a bit confused by this message since I was suggesting JRPG as a genre wasn’t clear, and the argument(?) Is that Dark Souls isn’t a JRPG and you’ve sub-classified a bunch of different JRPGs how I agree.

If the argument is that we can still use JRPG in conjunction, I think this is valid but I still feel that coining things based on country of origin isa bit off, almost like insinuating a stereotype when we also agree they don’t have to follow it.

This just goes back to JRPG being vague and not giving any real info anyway.

If I told you I like Dark Souls which is arguably a JRPG or a more obvious Earthbound, why would it be better to say ah, “Disgaea or Kingdom Hearts are JRPG, you’ll like them”.

I wasn’t suggesting all games should be labeled “earthbound-inspired”, the term JRPG is so broad that just suggesting it’s inspiration is more informative.

I know what you mean but what you’ve done is just define two sets of games with varying differences in mechanics. So only WRPGs can assign attributes and JRPGs must have ensemble casts? There are many components of games that can transcend genres. A racing game like Mario Party can have an ensemble cast with unique abilities, A game like Sims can have attribute spending to create a player build. Locking these to genres doesn’t help understand as you suggest but that doesn’t mean we should stop trying.

It’s much easier to used these parts as extra descriptors and even better when you also add perspectives

• BG3: An turn based strategy [with complex choice]
• Valkyria Chronicles: A turn based strategy [with player recruitment]
• Disgaea: An turn based strategy [with unlockable job systems]
• Wargroove: A turn based strategy [with resource management systems]

I’d even prefer “Earthbound-inspired RPG” as thats more clear on what I’m going to be playing

Two things on this,

• X-Com can easily be classified a turn-based strategy rather than Turn-based Action
• This confusion still exists in JRPG. Why would you suggest Disgaea is a JRPG but Fire Emblem or X-Com isn’t?

Ah that’s my bad, when I think about FF I still think of the earlier games but the newer games aren’t in that bandcamp. Should have suggested dragon quest

I disagree with both article and your point. The J is unhelpful when we can just label them turned-based action. This is just an issue of grandfathering a genre which means very little, is incredibly decisive and even unhelpful. It’s easy to imagine someone who like Final Fantasy may like a game like LISA. But harder to suggest someone who like ~~Final Fantasy ~~ Dragon Quest will like Kingdom Hearts, Demon Gaze or Disgaea. Just split JRPGs into mechanical genres. Turn-Based Action, Action RPG, Turn/Tile-based Strategy.

This issue extends to more genres (Generally RPG and Action) but I think it’s probably the easiest one to start moving away from

If you didn’t guess that last paragraph was specifically about Death Stranding. No reason to fault that game for what it is
