The Pokémon Manga They Want You To Forget
the beyblade metal fusion song is so fire and iconic for younger gen z
This manga and anime filled the DiscWorld shaped hole in my heart, and I could not be happier.
Huh, wow early MoBa was really Spoony-ing it up. Not complaining, that's probably why barely-an-adult me was on board but still, funny to realize looking back
This was the first anime I ever watched. I finished the finale for the first time and thought: Correct choice.
ReZero characters got some half assed reaching for idealism and apparently the mc always prevails with saint-like decision making, inhuman, trash motivations too. The characters are badly written with arbitrary goals.
MARCEL?
Ok, fine! You sold me. Time to not do anything else for a while.
Based stormlight enjoyer
I need a travelogue on WORLD TRIGGER Jeff thew , please , shit bag please
A cosmere world building video would be dope
bro loves drawing holes, ass holes and disgusting stuff.
Bleach is dieing i guess
Except for kiki and kaka those are tonsu's kids
I think my favorite part of this show iis that while it's definitely a high fantasy series in line with many RPGs or Video Games, it never has to justify anything it does with numbers or unnecessary systems. It's explored, mysterious, and weird all at the same time, and it just makes sense to the people in it's world who specialize in stuff like Magic or Ecology without needing to feel like a video game in everything but name. I think it would be cool if you took a look at Blood Blockade Battlefront's take on a Magical New York City and how in a rare Anime moment they perfectly nail how weird and wonderful the real NYC can be.
Gogoanime!🎉🎉❤❤
I appreciate you using the Power Rangers Turbo guitar cover from Niall Stenson while talking about Loser Ranger! Really dig his guitar covers! 😁
My favorite little detail in this story is the use of the word human. Most fantasy stories use the same approach to dealing with the concept of the word human. The reason it and other words derived from it are so universally used is because humans are the most numerous race and thus are treated as the default. But in DID, the group of people we'd call humans in Dungeons and Dragons, World of Warcraft or Baldur's Gate, is instead called Tall-men, and the word human is used for everyone. An elf is a human, a dwarf is a human, a half-foot is a human, etc. It means person, making so that its use in terms like demihuman or humanoid doesn't feel like one race being seen as the standard, but comes from a term that describes all of the sentient races. It is such a little, basically insignificant detail, but to me it shows just how much care was put in the world building.
22:40 what are you talking about his name is Tequila Sunshine.
When are y'all going to make a Discworld video??
I still am waiting for when falin is finally rescued permanently!!!
In that world I would be Senshi. If it's edible and won't kill me, I'll cook and eat it. I can't be compared to Laios tho because I'm not intense about it. But I do gather mushrooms and plants irl! My friends tell me that I'd survive the apocalypse... I even raise mealworms at home. With my endurance tho, I'd better be writing a book than actually try to survive in nature
I mean...you can't just reference discworld and not keep going.
Geoff revealed how well read he actually is across scifi and fantasy. Like, its not actually a surprise, but fun to hear him talk about the foundatjon novels alongside dune and stormlight.
14:38 that is a kitsune, not a tanuki
Sometimes an event in a story I forget if I saw it in the anime or in the manga. Is this common? The socubi one I forgot if this was from the anime or manga it gets mixed up in my head
The way UA-cam updates thumbnails and video titles makes me feel schizophrenic
I spoke with a friend of mine about changeling myths and we kinda think people with autism or other such things were what people called changeling and it’s sad to think of all those children were lost to such superstition
Its SUPER weird that the vast populace in Dungeon Meshi find the monster eating taboo, I mean this is set in like near the end of the life of the dungeon,, you'd think that there has been more than enough time for the people to discover how to eat the monsters. By this time there should even be a whole economy centered around selling monster meat and dishes
If you remember what Marcille said in episode 20, there’s an inherent view of monsters and unclean/impure, especially since the majority of them also eat people. Kabru also mentioned that in his hometown dead people started turning into monsters and started eating other people, so it seems logical that it’s taboo.
Season 2 is going to be so Litty 🔥, what an excellent anime adaptation.
6:58 Pro tip: Add autistic people
My only neg on the series is the random bath scene several episodes in. I have some friends that are just conservative types, and I thought I had finally found an anime with just the right mix that I could drag them into. But the random bath scene is just going to turn them off, and doesn't add anything.
3 titles and 3 thumbnails
W'z being pronounced "Wise" makes as much sense as FLCL beijg pronounced FoolyCooly
That shadification of Fallout video has dictated how I do worldbuilding ever since it came out. Amazing video.
