I'd recommend the 4-koma about the shopaholic and girl who loves collecting books - Collectors

and also one with a lady that owns a coffee shop and high school girl that visits there a lot? - Omoino-Kakera

I can't remember the name of either series though

and free college probably.

It's not free but it costs substantially less, I believe. Tuition is free if your parents (or your for mature students) income is under a certain amount and you have to take out loans but you don't have to re-pay them until you make over a certain amount of money a year. At least that's how it used to work, I'm not sure if it still does.

What I really like about BD's endgame is how it's so easy to hit the damage cap, but the real difficulty is in staying alive while doing so.

I am like others glad that Hajime woke up, but I respect that you are deciding independently.

I really hope the second season sells well so we can get a third. The creators are 2 for 2 on great shows and I expect that trend won't change.

Erg posted:

That is also good and yeah, the plot is kind of hard to follow because the artist, whose style I generally like, has a real sameface problem.

at the end of the day it is a stubbornly upbeat and optimistic show, so it makes sense that it has neatly wrapped up happy endings, as simple as those can be.

a funny anecdote is that the dark knight skill that attacks 5 times but drains your health for each attack didn't have a 5 attack cap in the original game and would just go until you didn't have the health. which if you used drain sword would be never. so you'd just attack until you won

I wouldn't mind it as much if 'ambiguous bittersweet' endings didn't seem like the default for anime sometimes.
Also Gatchaman has always been a relentlessly optimistic show so it would be weird if it ended on a downer.

I love hearing about all of the changes. That sounds funny as heck but man, it sounds like playing the original version would be torture in many ways.

Watching battles at normal speed feels like you're playing it in slow motion

For the record, I am happy and satisfied things turned out transparently alright for Hajime and friends. I prefaced my "Wish" with "Kinda" because it was just a fleeting thought I had watching epilogue. A thought I can't even coherently express with words, and I wouldn't want anybody to agree with anything I couldn't explain to their satisfaction.

Happy endings are good.

The thief capstone skill gives them an ATK buff every time they successfully steal. Life Steal has a 75% base chance of success, and the thief's innate ability doubles stealing rates (so it's guaranteed). Life Steal hits just as hard as a standard attack and heals the thief for 100% of the damage dealt.

Basically, every attack the thief makes is a massive fullheal that also self-buffs their damage by 25% up to 150% and refreshes the buff. They're almost unkillable unless something one-shots them, and are able to maintain consistent and very large damage. Daggers are a trap though, Bow is the better weapon.

I prefer to subclass them with a Spell Fencer to get the most out of their high speed/multiple attacks.

See, done a certain way, I wouldn't call it a downer. More like a promise.

"Hajime will get better. Let's update the world to be ready for her when she arrives."

That kind of thing, maybe.

I should maybe have used thieves more often then.

In general I just ended up using the more obvious and boring game breaking combos. Free Lunch + Amped Strike and Stillness in general were more than enough to get me through the game.

Although, by the end game the only real problems were attacks that could one shot everyone anyway.

Yeah, for sure, later on you do have to babysit them to make sure they stay alive. But you kinda have to do that with almost any of the damage-primary classes.
