I consider @cptrugged a friend but he is still an anime and it will be a very sad day when I am king of the world and he has to go up against the wall.
Perhaps I will give him a suspended sentence of death, sort of like a sword of Damocles as long as I never catch him wrrryyying or pockying or whatever he can sit in a cell and we can play LoL.
wait why did quoting something open up my edit box
i thought it was some weird appending feature going on and instead i just edited out my good and cool thoughts on banished to reply to friggin attack on titan
i hate this

mostly i think it's bad because like was said it's game over once you maintain sustainability and then the only interesting choice you're faced with is "do i expand and risk upsetting the delicate balance, or maybe a disaster at an inopportune time, or do i not do that, and contentedly trim the bonsai tree that is my little burg'
also it makes you wait too long for citizens to grow up and junk and there's no mystery about what is the best way to do buildings so all i'm really doing is plopping down stuff and waiting for new children to come in while hoping a sequence of disasters don't murk me
i guess it's really good if you liked the new sim city
yeah all of this is true but i fail to see how that is bad if what you want is to trim your bonsai.
like, what do you get from the other stuff you play that you dont here?
Attack on Titan: Suffers from weird emotional beats (exaggeration of facial expressions/reactions is an annoying anime trope), uneven pacing (STAHP FLASHBACKING AT CLIMACTIC MOMENTS), and ridiculously long monologues (as I mentioned in the thread shut up and do the thing)
But it is still a good show. And not for the genre of anime--just a good, entertaining show.
maybe i should just give in and watch the show. i hated the manga but everyone says the show is good...
I've tried to watch several series that have been recommended to me
and sometimes I'll stomach some of the cliches / chaff and sort of get into the story or characters
and then I'll reach a point in the series where the show says "LOL SEXUALIZED LOLI!" and I'm like
NOPE
NOPE
NOPE.
I see anime as like
if you took all the dumb cliches of old 90's videogames and the sort of weird groupthink and just turned that into a genre, almost entirely lacking self-awareness and devoted entirely to its own stereotypes and embracing them as a kind of comfort
and that makes me really glad that, despite the drama it can cause, the gaming industry is going through a painful and awkward and necessary revision and re-examining its underlying tropes and biases and stereotypes
sort of a "there but for the grace of God go we"
the first anime series i ever watched was cowboy bebop, back in like 2001 maybe
and i thought it was really cool! it was like nothing i'd ever seen - stylish and fresh and the music was good and the characters were surprisingly appealing and wow!
i thought "i must like anime! i must be an anime fan!"
and then i watched other anime and other anime and still more anime and was like
nope.
the rest of it just isn't any good
and then i met some other kids that were really into anime fandom and was like
hey that kid is wearing blue-tinted swim goggles on his forehead just like, around town.
man fuck people who express the things they like to others in public, the nerve
you're supposed to be a bitter emotionless bundle of conformity like me who derives nothing from day to day existence
i definitely have this issue
i guess i want so strongly not to be typified or pigeonholed that i try and not really associate with anything: guns, jiu jitsu, running, video games, fashion
everything has its negative connotation and i don't want some theoretical funeral for me to be 'john chu: in total, a man who loved outkast, blowjobs, and sichuan food'
it is a p stifling, world-is-closing-in-on-me feeling, that i am reducible to certain things
so i guess i only really want to show off or advertise those interests of mine which are sort of sterile and mature and hard to use as ammunition for typification of my character

My dad caught part of an episode well over a decade ago.
He could not stop laughing at the idea of a cartoon that takes itself kind of seriously.
does he know that the stuff that happens in live action movies isn't any more real than cartoons
considerably less real in my opinion
fuck gendered marketing

I was going through some of my old stuff this weekend and I found my bootleg boxed DVD set of Trigun and I picked it up like a dead bug and tossed it into a box with a revolted look on my face. Then I cried a little while because I miss Wolfwood so bad.
Then I gorilla glued the box shut and put it in the attic

I like enough anime shows/movies that I'm happy in general that it exists. I have just long accepted that as a medium, it is like a ridiculously inefficient machine, creating orders of magnitude more slag than it does gems.
Attack on Titan: Suffers from weird emotional beats (exaggeration of facial expressions/reactions is an annoying anime trope), uneven pacing (STAHP FLASHBACKING AT CLIMACTIC MOMENTS), and ridiculously long monologues (as I mentioned in the thread shut up and do the thing)
But it is still a good show. And not for the genre of anime--just a good, entertaining show.

Haven't read the manga. Honestly only started watching because the (great) music from Bravely Default led me to it.
