When you first see a shoopuff Auron tells you a story about when Jecht first saw one that goes like "He was poo poo faced, like he always was, thought it was a fiend and stabbed it and Braska and I had to pay for it." And Tidus replies "Yeah that sounds like my old man." Auron does say he never drank again after that but it seems like before Spira Jecht was a drunk POS

The game in one of the flashbacks just flat out tells you that he was a drunk at all times in the past, like dude was a real mean drunk to his son and his wife apparently and his wife was too wrapped up in "I married a star" to get out of the relationship leading to more and more child abuse.

Wait so the Al Bhed are the foreigner untouchable apostates of Spira but they make it to the big underwater soccer tournament? Whatever Final Fantasy.

They're about as much apostates as a different religion is. No one really cares if Al Bhed are around until you start talking about Yevon.

Not really? It's poorly animated, has no ending, and makes a bunch of cuts from the manga. Killer soundtrack obviously but there's no real reason to watch it.

Yeah, you don't see much love for the Berserk anime these days, it suffers a lot from outdated animation and even more so when you see how ridiculously ornate the manga's art can be.

Yeah, it's not even the animation quality itself (though it certainly isn't one of the finest works from the 90s) so much as it is that any adaptation less than perfect is gonna come up short to the manga. Hopefully the new anime will manage that (I mean, the OPM one did so with aplomb).

Rody One Half

I think if there's one thing I sort of am interested in with the new series it's to see if they edit the Black Swordsman arc at all because some of that first arc is just weird, like the literal first thing that happens is Guts having sex with a succubus apostle which doesn't make any sense with his actual character.

I'm not gonna get started because this is the sbfp thread and not the anime forum but

man

there is a lot wrong with it and "not the original last arc" really undersells that it's a whole second half of a story that is just the most wretchjed heavy-handed overwrought "dark and edgy" horseshit

But none of them are written about existing games, and Log Horizon is the only one that feels like it was written by someone who has actually played an MMO before
