I was considering grabbing the first volume of Stardust Crusaders at the Japanese book store yesterday, but I decided to get My Hero Academia instead cause I wanted to read it and the scanlation for the first few chapters sucked.

I'm still holding out hope that Stardust Crusaders will get a nice hardcover release like the first two parts...so waiting on buying it is a good idea for now imo.

i'm looking at other reviews on mal and i'm kinda annoyed by how many go like this:


Rokka no yussha is gonna be a 12 episode long anime produced by studio Passione and directed by Takeo Takahasi (Spice and Wolf), this project is studio’s first major production.

you haven't even seen the show, how can you possibly write a review and then even give it an 8

It's unbelievable. If someone told me that was gonna be the ending I would have thought they were trolling me, but it was in fact the author who was doing the trolling.

did the devs, or does the game, actually make a big point of the 'ambiguous gender' thing or is it just a thing because if it's the latter i dont really see why you keep bringing it up as some massive own tbh. it seems like a decent way to just let the player self-insert without shoving a gender choice thing at the start of the game.

game still looks bad tho

It's their blanket defense for any criticism of how bad the player sprite looks.

I don't give a gently caress that they wanted the character to be gender neutral but the sprite looks terrible.

oh, yeah, that's really dumb.

The sprite isn't the worst but it's significantly lower quality than the stuff they're ripping off (Earthbound and Yume Nikki).

Not to mention idk how being gender neutral somehow makes your sprite worse. Sprites are so low-detail that even a decent one is pretty easy to accomplish that with. Heck you could make high-res blazblue sprite art look gender neutral so idk what their deal is.

Really if you gave the character an expression that doesn't make them look like they have a disability and maybe a less bad colored shirt it'd look 100x better.

I did enjoy them as I was watching it, but the way the ending was handled just retroactively makes me dislike most of it because now I know what it was all in service to.

If this was a movie or something I'd probably find it a little bit amusing, but not when it's way longer than a movie.

Also her eyes are lower set and you don't see her mouth in yume nikki but you always see the full face in undertale which just looks bad. with the way it's drawn

yeah that too

undertale seems like everything bad about indie games tbh. minus maybe the word roguelike.

well i mean, it's not like a bad ending can make you retroactively not have enjoyed those past 11 weeks' worth of eps while you were watching them.
