Coaaab posted:watched ep 1 when it premiered, and then blitzed through the manga in two days afterwards and then peeked at some of the ~900 chapter webnovel. if the anime maintains a healthy production schedule, it'll end up being a really cool series about the vicarious thrill of watching some guy be better than If he inspired Let Me Solo Her(web novel predates Elden Ring), I should hope he is.

AtomikKrab posted:I've binged the manga, considered the webnovel but decided to wait for the manga to get there. I am ENJOYING the anime but I think they could up the pace a little bit, No idea if they appear more in the WN, but I really hope they become recurring characters.

Glazius posted:To be clear, I wasn't saying he did, just noting down the obvious parallel - naked dude in funny headgear outplays the game's biggest challenges. If you found something that says so, feel free to share, but most of what I found links Let me solo her's aesthetic to a meme series of Dark Souls 3 videos with a similar vibe. LOLMAO. Was expecting either him or Lost my Sanity's Pale Man series.. There's also people like Prod who often wears the most absurd possible headpiece he can find(unless his face is over the top ridiculous). I was just making a statement that if he possibly inspired one of modern gamings greatest folk hero's, he really should be as good as implied.

CrazySalamander posted:This is great. I’m tired of everything having to be the fate of the world/galaxy/universe. Just people being happy playing video games. I 100% agree and I think it's an overall issue with the "greater fandom" where a series has to have "tension, stakes, drama, etc" for it to be good or worthy of existing instead of just being cool or relaxing stuff with little in the way of those things.

gimme the GOD drat candy posted:there's exactly one (1) girl in the entire world that likes sunraku romantically and she's kind of weird. To be fair, that's kind of obligatory. Nemo2342 posted:Finally we start getting some quality Emul time. And I really dig that background music that started up when they were talking about Pencilgon. Lot of comments on Emul being super cute and adorable as well as comments requesting to be stepped on by Pencilgon. Katzo's voice was super to me and jothing like I envisioned.

I love how by the end, he was completely brainblasted but insisting he's got the Download Complete bit that FGC players like to joke about. The official manga has some end of volume stories written and the Epic of the Toxic Eagle was one of them. It's exactly as epic as it sounds.

amigolupus posted:I appreciate Sunraku's bit of self-reflection in this episode. Just playing trash games may have honed his reaction time and focus to a crazy degree, but it's also made him a bit complacent about taking losses when faced with a true challenge because he knows he'd just respawn from a checkpoint anyway. He only went up like 2-4 levels if even that. The title DOES come with some great benefits though.

Glazius posted:Unique monsters are valuable development resources, given that you get a chunk of encounter XP just for showing up to lose. Since they haven't even all been encountered yet, it's worth chasing after anything that seems new. Not to mention Lycagon is special since it seems to be the only roaming one that can appear anywhere at any time. Knowing it's next spawn location or even having a hint can be a huge piece of info to setup ambushes either for it or for PvP.

cant cook creole bream posted:Yeah, I thought about that too. I suppose there would have to be a lot of separate servers? But then it would have been even more impossible for Saiga and the others to cyberstalk Sunraku. It might be like Ark where one group can fight a boss at a time(though that has several servers as well). Could be a combo of the world being MASSIVE and servers being location based(city x gets server y and so on).

amigolupus posted:The dynamic between Sunraku, Pencilgon and Oicazzo is amazing. The casual level of trolling and poo poo-talking between friends is the most realistic part of this show. Glazius posted:I figured it was just a dating sim of the Tokimeki Memorial model where you could be playing the field but getting a bad reputation with someone would get you badmouthed to everyone. Too low of an introduction threshhold and too high of a bomb impact means your only options are FOREVER ALONE and x2 GANTT CHART INTO HAREM COMBO. The volume release actually explains the game. I'll post it when I get a break.

rodney mullenkamp posted:maybe you could link to the channel they're on, because searching for things on the internet is dead And sometimes it's hard if it's in Japanese. Edit: It just now occurred to me that Rei is just like Kou from Wotakoi. Both are insanely awkward gamer girls who have little to no interpersonal skills with their crushes and suffer all of the cringe. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 22:07 on Dec 24, 2023 |

Lamebot posted:Makes sense because the titular game in this series looks like it was conceived by someone who's only had second hand exposure to video games. Like someone had to make a fake video game that was the focus of an SVU episode. I dunno, pretty much everything seen and done in the series including the titular game has a real life equivalent in real life and the writer being enough of a Turbo Gamer that they wanted to buy Armored Core 6 on the company dollar as a business expense. Ditto for taking numerous breaks that coincided with the releases of BotW, Elden Ring, TotK, Armored Core, and several other games.

claw game handjob posted:I'm a little behind, but the US release adds a "bonus chapter" of what's clearly WN at the end of each volume, and they do cover Pencilgon's sibling, so it seems like that might just be something excised until relevant in adaptation. Which one is this? I think I missed it.

AtomikKrab posted:If you notice the ID fragment actually caused him to switch to secret hard mode. This is now an achievement run done on maximum difficulty. Probably without it he would have just timed out and collapsed or something, but the ID fragment has caused his spirit to awaken and now you actually have to kill his rear end The ID tag doesn't actually do anything of note except trigger some lore dialog from him not too disimilar from how wearing the Captains Hat vs King Ikana triggers dialog in Majora's Mask or completing the Deathroot Questline in Elden Ring. And yeah like Sindai said, the fight spanned like 2 volumes worth of manga on the fight alone not counting the aftermath. doomrider7 fucked around with this message at 23:19 on Feb 4, 2024 |

Taima posted:Great episode and the SLF Theater was amazing too. And oh man the super high quality shading on Emul in the pre-intro was so smooth. I have to admit, I didn't love the concept of a rabbit sidekick at first, but Emul completely won me over. Sunraku-san! Sunraku-san! Daijoubu! Best part, the VA's actually got married recently! And yeah the quality was VERY extra for this whole battle, but ESPECIALLY this episode and yes you should pick the manga up and read it from the start since some volumes actually include little side bits of info and trivia not shown in the series(other poo poo games Sunraku has played, item and lore explanations, character bios, etc). The pendant...actually doesn't do anything exactly as stated. It doesn't unlock any secret hard mode it just makes Wethermon realise he's fighting someone who's made contact with "The Divinity" or someone familiar with that time. It's like the Deathroot quest and Maliketh.

claw game handjob posted:A couple are based on some volume extras (like the "interview" with Pencilgon) but I think the majority are original. The one where he picks up a poo poo game is also partially based on another as well except he actually DOES have to fight a horde of other Kusoge Hunters. The best ones are still the one about the idol who's friends with Pencilgon and the origin story of the Professor.

Reading some of the comments and reviews in other sites especially ANN make me laugh my rear end off with all of theorizing about the game being some kind of real actual world when it's in all likelihood the chuuni adult woman child CEO's fanfic turned into a game.

MonsterEnvy posted:You mean the writer's story? Yes. Nemo2342 posted:Having only read the manga, it's tough to really call it for sure. On the one hand, we have seen/will see the devs and know that there's some human elements here. On the other hand we're also dealing with magical NPCs who act like real people and die permanently. I would be entirely unsurprised to find out that the game is somehow tapping into another world. Possible. I'm thinking Free Guy with Ryan Reynolds might be at play here. I'm part of the discord and could ask, but would rather not be spoiled since I have accidentally seen some already.
