    They did eventually confirm the theory that Naga and Amelia were sisters, right?

    I know the whole "Dragon Slay/Slave" incantation from memory. I am cool and hip.

    I can no longer remember the whole thing, because it's been replaced in my mind with the incantation to an alternate version of the spell created by my anime OC that got to hang out with Lina, Cecil Harvey and Ryo-Ohki. I am extremely cool.

    Honestly, I'm kind of surprised only 148,000 people voted in that poll.

    I mean, I voted in that poll, and if it's something that managed to come to my attention then I thought there would be more votes. Though I also have no idea how many votes these kind of things normally get so may be way off.

    Just pretend they kept the name off of the intro for a surprise later.

    Having just come off watching The Good Place. I am wondering what people think of Bakarina morally. Like yes her tactic of "be a good person and treat people with empathy" seems to be keeping her safe from a "doom ending" but she only acts that way because she knows there is a certain doom ending(s) is she acted otherwise. Is the way she act morally good? or tainted because there is a personally beneficial motivation?

    I'm on a bigger Sawano binge than normal right now

    This asshole really wrote an orchestral masterpiece to reflect a conversation between childhood friends, reinforcing their heroic bond, their disdain for authority, and their willingness to evolve in order to fight in a Forever War they unwittingly entered into

    and the name of the song is "tooth-i-"

    this stupid fucking genius orchestrated a song which is meant to be a call to arms with an opponent who is a friend. it's a climactic moment where everything old, including the scant premise upon which our protagonist stands, must be discarded as he has to turn on someone he pretty much grew up with.

    oh, that song? it's called YouSeeBIGGIRL: T:T

    god I fucking love sawano

    Catarina doesn't really consider being nice to be part of her plan though. All of her actual plans are super stupid, like "learn to garden because magic and/or exile," and "always have a throwing snake ready. " it's all the stuff she does without thinking about it that are actually breaking the game.

    Always having a throwing snake ready could be an extremely good idea, though. Very few people are going to expect you to throw a snake in their face!

    Wasn't one of Catarina's plans to also become good with a sword just in case Geordo tries to kill her? That one sounds pretty solid.

    Of course, that one only gets a throwaway line because it isn't stupid and funny.

    Leave Shinji alone, the kid is doing better than most of us would in his place.

    absolutely not, no

    No, really, the kid mostly just falls apart to himself but still keeps trucking until he completely cracks.

    I've generally had a rule of thumb since fifteen years ago. Whenever someone says Shinji was "a pussy" or "a wimp" or something similar, chances are I can probably ignore anything else they say about media and not miss very much. And I don't even like Evangelion! It's a bad show! But it's kind of an useful indicator, like clams in the water.

    Well, the thing with Shinji is that he ran out of self-worth (or never had any to begin with) and is waiting for the people around him to tell him whether he's worth keeping alive. Anybody who actually has any sense of self-worth is gonna do better. Now, the question is whether any of us, given the same upbringing and treatment, the same life, essentially, would fare any better? No, because then we would be Shinji, and not ourselves.

    (Unless we isekai'd ourselves into Shinji's body, but that's a fanfic for another time.)

    Okay so what if

    what if

    we remove Shinji from the toxic hell hole of his father, and the utterly dysfunction of NERV officers who view him as essentially a cog in an anti-apocalypse weapon first and foremost and

    say


    Have him make friends with Koji Kabuto, the Getter Pilots and a few Gundam pilots.*

    Give. Shinji. A. Psychoframe.


    You are light. You can even use sadness as fuel to light the way.


    When the Psycho-Frame is overloaded with a singular will or an over-concentration of multiple human wills, it emits a luminescent phenomenon[4] similar to a vivid aurora and is described as a "warm light" that gives one a sense of safety and removes feelings of fear[5]. It is suggested that the reason this phenomenon occurs is in part from the Psycho-Frame drawing energy from a higher dimension that Newtypes can ascend to[6].

    Yep


    It gets a ton of flack, particularly because of banagher and that “even so” attitude but the entire point is to drive home the idea of what human potential can accomplish against cycles of violence and cynicism passing itself off as realism. While Banagher’s character work is iffy throughout the series as an embodiment of that philosophy he gets the work done well

    I actually really like Banagher overall.

    Plus, he learns Summon Gundam and that's like the most player character thing ever.
