Oh, wow, that's a question with a lot of answers...
Here's one big difference:
The color palette in Crystal is also much more generic than in the 90's version, which, for example, sported backgrounds such as these:
Nothing... at all.
I would agree with this, it is moving at one hell of a breakneck speed. That said, it is doing it insanely well. Episode 6 being the convergence of 3 major parts of the manga/anime just... Ratcheted things up to a fucking insane scale.
I agree that there has not been any breathing room. However, the characters are 100% in line with how they were in Trugun Maximum. Not a ton of character growth on screen yet... So maybe that is hollow? But there is quite a bit bubbling under the surface.
And that, friends, is why it's called the Cross Punisher.
It removes all the personality, or, as said: very faithful to the manga, which is boring, and goes through villains at a clip. The original series fleshes them out and has fun with it.
You sure didn't get this in Crystal's version of S:
And consider: that's Kenshiro's VA!
In today's simuldub world, I don't know what happens for shows like that which weren't picked for dubbing before the season started but end up being critical darlings afterwards.
Sailor Moon is one of the few anime that really benefits from filler episodes, as they allow the characters to be explored and fleshed out more. Without the manga there wouldn't be an anime, but the manga is very barebones in comparison.
Birdie Wing still doesn't have a dub, which is insane.
You don't even need AI for that. Half-Life 2 had automatic lip syncing back in 2004, and VTubers do that in real-time. It's a solved problem to algorithmically go from audio to various mouth shapes, it's just a matter of getting that algorithm into the right part of the development pipeline.
it's too insane to dub, all those who have beheld the script have gone mad, as if they saw the necronomicon
Yamato got a crew card at the commercial break!
Banger episode all around.
It's so heavy because it's full of mercy.
Nier anime is back on Feb. 18. Glad the hiatus didn't have to be too too long.
It just has this Fantastic Four movies feel of "we are doing this just to keep the rights".
Do you... understand the economics at play here at all? Like, the amount of profit a mobile gacha game typically makes compared to an anime? It's like you're saying "maybe if these fanzines do well enough, they'll shut down all of sports betting."
I'll be here I while won't I?

They COULD make less money, but they don't want to. They want to make gobs and gobs of money. As Jragghen points out, short of making it illegal, they will continue soaking up that cash, until forced not to. Shockingly (not), a game that can get some players to spend hundreds of dollars every time there's new content is more profitable than one where you pay a reasonable fee one time and then stop.
Burying the lede there
That's hell you're walking into
I strongly recommend the show version, the VN is like 80% filler and 20% killer, unless you really enjoy hours of Unlimited Cooking Works.
There's a lot of balls in the air but it's fairly well told and resolves cleanly.
...Also, while Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel have decent adaptations I don't know that I can quite recommend DEEN's Fate/Stay Night as a Fate route adaptation?
It's like a 61h game without going into the completionist stuff according to HowLongToBeat, I guess. It's a pretty sizeable game.
For the most part the fan translation is acceptable, I guess, with the only mistranslation that immediately comes to mind being a random "gold of the Rhine"->"gold of the line" one that's perfectly understandable given how weird a reference that is. I'm sure that people have all kinds of quibbles with it these days, though.
Also if you're coming from later Fate works it's going to be using different translations for various magical terms, so that's something.
Yeah, that's fair(and hey, UBW's[second] adaptation is incredible), but it's not like the Fate route is much to write home about anyway.
Well, there is some regulation. Famously, "combi gacha" aka rewards for having all the items on the gacha were outlawed in 2012 in Japan.
Besides that, that's tied to all the discussion about lootboxes, and several law projects have been around, but believe that the only ones that went through are Taiwan and China requiring probability disclosure and a lot of games on the west shifting away to battle passes.
