Waffleman_ posted:It's funny, OP It also makes the shotgun feel powerful in a way that's different from just splattering people, which the show does enough already that it risks becoming forgettable. The show is good at impact in the visuals, both for comedic and dramatic purposes.

Show good. I was worried about the fact that there is apparently a sexualised underage character but it turns out she's just a petite adult woman that the internet is getting really weird about? I wouldn't have even thought of her as a "loli".

I'm re-watching Gurren Lagann and it reminds me how formative this anime was to part of my personality. Never give up, and push forward through what seems insurmountable. Trigger is awesome.

Edgerunners is GL's bleak and bloody reflection. Similar ethos, very different outcome. You can draw a lot of analogies between the two shows.

Edgerunners is what happens when anime sensibilities about the lower of determination and drive run headfirst into an uncaring corporate hammer that views everyone as a nail. You think you're special cuz you're scrappy? Don't make me laugh.

im watching episode 5.5 for the first time of gurren lagann (which somehow I've never seen??) and he goes "i don't know anything and I don't care!" and it's very relatable. I rewatching the cyberpunk anime, it's got too much feels

I have seen this like 3 times already & I loved the sub & the dub, but I wish some of the dub's line delivery had been handled better - Maine's psychosis in ep6 for example was way better delivered in the Japanese format even if the English better conveyed the feel of the lingo. That said, I think this is a top 3 anime for me in terms of aesthetics, style, & story. My Shadowrun campaign is already in shambles with everyone rethinking their characters with this depiction of the setting in mind. Anyway, I think this anime has suckered me into playing the game. Are there any especially fun builds?

Gutpunchs abound, goddamn It's got me and my wife playing again tho @seizon: my current quick hack build is fun, I can do a lot of the missions parking my car at the curb, latching on to the camera system and melting everyone's brains before I stroll on-site to Do the Thing Pulcinella posted:“just remember: the only person you can really trust is yourself.” I feel like in most media it’s just a setup for the trope of the very obvious shady evil character is going to betray everyone at a pivotal moment. poo poo, there was one person David could have trusted, and it definitely wasn't himself Darth Walrus posted:I think I interpreted the final scene a bit differently than some folks. It's not purely tragic, but bittersweet. Lucy's taking a moment of peace to reconcile her complex feelings about escaping to her dream-world at the expense of the people she loved, and finally chooses to accept their sacrifice by spreading her hands and basking in the otherworldly sunshine David gave her, despite her pain at him no longer being with her. It's sad and messy, but also just a little bit triumphant. Absolutely not. Lucy is one of the many people David let down. possibly colored by having watched the whole thing with my wife, but any sense of accomplishment felt like it turned to ash in her mouth. The gently caress is the point of going to the moon, or the top of arasaka, or anything whatsoever, if it's without the one you love BrotherJayne fucked around with this message at 09:36 on Sep 26, 2022 |

I know just barely enough Japanese to have been turned away from subs by how plain and boring a lot of the speaking was (also may have been the lovely early version subs clashing.) I'll take sometimes weak but at least flavored delivery every time, though I didn't get to many hot blooded parts. Dub VAs got a lot right. Maine is a standout. Rebecca too. Lucy is easily the one that falls flattest in the dub but Aoi kinda phoned her in too

Yeah that's why I went straight for the dub on a rewatch as well - English is often way more flavorful for this kind of stuff. It just came down to how the VAs conveyed emotion in a couple lines, overall I think the dub was much better

imo David’s arc isn’t one of triumph but resignation. he could have stopped risking himself long before things got as bad as they did, but fed himself into the city’s meat grinder because he could only think of living for other people’s ambitions - or worse, what he personally believed those ambitions were, ignoring their own opinions on the matter. his delirious ranting on the way to Arasaka shows that no matter how much he built up his rep, he never stopped being that sullen street kid who wanted to make his mother proud

Taking a year or three off/lowpro to recoup and help Lucy recover would have been the smarter choice, but he was driven. BrotherJayne fucked around with this message at 11:32 on Sep 26, 2022 |

Seems pretty sick tbh Been a while but I think I did a Reflex (or whatever stat scales melee dmg) build, along with stealth and HP. So whenever I eventually got caught I could pull out my claws and kill everything. I'm pretty sure the only deaths I had were hitting gas cans with my claws and blowing myself up

Count me as another thar prefers the dub on this one. That being said I've got a question on the dub for any black viewers. I watch Double Toasted's reviews because I like Kory Coleman. He mentioned that he tried watching the show dubbed but had to switch back to the Japanese audio because he couldn't get over the English voice direction's word choice and performances, making a joke that it sounded like ebonics written by white people. I won't pretend like I'm a linguistics expert so I don't know if I missed any black slang or if he was making a point about the Cyberpunk street terminology being cringey. Did any black viewers find the dubbing rough in any regard for how people talked?

Did any black viewers find the dubbing rough in any regard for how people talked? Funnily enough, there's actually a good reason for that - Mike Pondsmith, the creator of the Cyberpunk franchise, is black, and Night City's slang is heavily inspired by AAVE (though with plenty of other linguistic influences).

I know Pondsmith is black but I also know that English voiceovers for anime can have a spotty reputation when portraying black characters or characters coded as black. Beau Billingslea has done enough lovely gangsta voices in the 90s before he nailed it as Jet Black. So it's something I would take into consideration. I felt like Maine's English voice worked pretty well most of the time but sounded a hair too gruff during moments when he's meant to soften.

They moved it under Blades instead of wherever it was so now it bounces off a high Reflexes instead of Cool and you just shred everything. Maybe that's why Lucy didn't fight much. She was secretly too OP.

Not sure I like monowires being under Reflexes now, TBH. I liked them as one of the few weapons that doesn't require an investment in your two main combat stats - being under Cool fitted with them being stereotypical netrunner weapons, too.

Rebecca is awesome and it’s hosed up that people think she’s underage or, as I saw one poster say, a “sexualized child”, just because she’s short. I know it’s very trendy right now to equate anime with pedophilia but leave Rebecca alone

There's also that story that a CDPR employee gave secondhand on a stream where CDPR was hesitant about Rebecca and apparently Trigger was like "the loli stays" but when you see Japanese sources, it's more that she was cute, not a loli.

I just figured they meant it as "petite" not the bad word. Like some people were using moe to mean cute or whatever? Anyways, personally, I still don't really like becca, but I appreciate her ride or die for david and being a reliable person who'll have your back. That I appreciate a lot, it's a very mature thing to do. It's also another thing, kiwi and lucy were like, "don't believe anyone in night city" yet david and rebecca believed in each other to support one another, and neither wronged the other, so it seems like it flies in the face of that cynicism.
