    Was going to say, I appreciate that in Jojo the veteran characters will call out that they're playing the defensive game until they can figure out what the enemy can do.

    Re: power becoming stronger when it's known, wasn't there something similar to that in Hunter x Hunter? Like, if you made the prereq condition for the power more difficult it rapidly amped it up?

    Someone could have "explain your power" as a prerequisite for a Nen power, but it's not a general thing like in Jujutsu Kaisen. They explain it's because it's influenced by the target's psychology, I think? Like how in Persona 5 your prop weapons work on enemies because of how they perceive them to be dangerous.

    RIP Sunrise:
    Founded in 1972, Sunrise Inc. is one of Japan’s most famous anime studios. The studio’s corporate name will be no more starting this spring.

    IT Media reports that Sunrise will become Bandai Namco Filmworks as of April 1st 2022. Bandai Namco Arts and Bandai Namco Marketing will merge with Sunrise to form the new entity. Sunrise president Makoto Asanuma will assume the role as president and CEO of Bandai Namco Filmworks.

    To call this move stupid is like calling the Pacific wet.

    Even if Sunrise hadn't felt like as influential or innovative of a player recently in the industry, still a really important name to just suddenly shutter

    If Kenpachi of all people had a bankai then Aizen definitely did. Hubris was his downfall in that he didn't think anyone merited its usage when his initial release was enough to handle the entirety of Soul Society for who knows how many decades he was carrying out his plans. By the time he did meet someone that might require bankai to defeat he'd already discarded his sword in favor of the god orb, and still thought he didn't need it up until he got pulverized.

    I liked how in Jujutsu Kaisen explaining your technique literally makes it stronger in-universe. And how some people would abuse that known fact to lie about their powers.

    Yeah, that's the part of the trope I actually like. Like how with certain Nen abilities explaining it makes it stronger, because it increases the risk.

    Just explaining? Drake no meme
    Explaining because it actually gives you an advantage to do so? Drake yes meme.
    Okay look, you can't expect me to remember the made up Magic Power names from every shonen I've ever seen, do you know how many that is?

    There's a movie coming out some time this year, probably summer but no exact release date announced? Supposedly it's going to adapt the whole Spade Invasion Arc, which hasn't even ended in the manga yet (though it feels very close to finished, on what is most likely the big final fight right now).

    Sounds like Sunrise the brand is still going to exist, they're just changing the name of the company? Maybe?

    Half of what Sunrise has produced for the last five or so years has been just Love Live.

    Fuck, the only mecha things are Build Divers and Amaim, the latter of which isn't even really Sunrise, but Xebec rebranded after being bought out.

    I do miss their crazy-ass shit like Cross Ange or Valvrave. It was usually terrible, but hilariously terrible. And then there's Phi Brain, where 'super genius' teenagers solved 'impossible' sudokus to defeat POG.

    Bones isn't a substudio of Sunrise in any way. Its main founders were former Sunrise people, but that was over 20 years ago. There's no official or business relationship between them. Similar with Mappa and Madhouse, and Silver Link and Shaft. It's only ever like 4-5 big names at most even at that. As opposed to Production IG and Wit, which are genuinely different studios, but both owned by IG Port.

    Same, except it's names. I have to use mnemonic devices when meeting new people or it slides off my brain like water off a duck's back.

    When I meet people I don't even attempt to learn their name unless it'll come up again, and even then I'll only learn it through repeated interactions with a person. You must interact with me 25-30 times in some memorable fashion and only then, will I maybe remember that name... For a year or so

    Though I'll say it's different for fiction, especially fiction I'm actually interested in; but typically, the names in fiction are more unique and memorable than your average irl human's name

    Oh I can remember characters without any problem. Still not their faces, for the most part when they're provided, but everything else? Hell yes my brain will cling to the slightest minutiae of detail and then utterly corrupt it over time until I only have a memory of remembering something about a character. Thank goodness for wikis!

    If you sat me in front of a police sketch artist I couldn't describe my own mother's face to save my life. Recognise people, fine (provided I've seen them recently, anything past a year is "well they're familiar"), picture their face in my head, what do you want from me they have two eyes a nose and a mouth I guess.

    It's was pretty strange sometimes. I can recognize people from the weirdest angles and the longest distance, even if I didn't see them often. I often felt like people ignored me because they wouldn't see me in the reversed situation until I later noticed that while that probably certainly happened, people forgot faces much more often than I did.

    What are some of your favorite hype songs in Anime?

    Here's a few:

    Kill la Kill - Before My Body is Dry
    (Though only the first 1:35 or so is actually used in the anime)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1_PWdjym25g

    Symphogear XV - Final Commander
    (Can't find the song by itself, and the actual scene is too spoilery, so here's a Dragon Ball Super video someone recut with the song)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MZ86Lr2BMTI

    Dragon Ball Super - Ultimate Battle
    (Speaking of Dragon Ball Super...)
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lHVqoiG0CUU

    I'm also a big fan of when the OP for a show gets used in a climatic battle (Symphogear also does this nearly every season).
