Ah, yeah i should have figured. I'm also kind of torn between just completely winging it, or going overboard with research online before actually starting.

I'll probably end up doing what i did in DS, which is to play blindly for a bit then restart once i get a feel for things and learn what i actually need to look online to find out more about and/or decide i don't like how my character looks.

There's only one thing that's important that you can miss permanently, and it's not essential, I played most of it blind then checked for stuff I'd missed towards the end.

Iso praises the Flip Flappers ED, and then: “Projects like Flip Flappers just aren’t the right venue when it comes to making use of Oshiyama’s talents. Obviously the fault lies with the producer(s), too; how could they see that ED then have him make some random moe anime from it?”

you could probably make an argument for oshiyama being forced to make "some random moe anime" if he hadn't had an extensive interview where he talked about how the only things that were really asked by producers were, like, a magical girl transformation every few episodes and the entire staff, including him, basically came up with everything else on their own

And assuming you can even remotely argue FF is "some random moe anime"; it's about the farthest thing from a gentle SOL or cgdct show.

flip flappers is a moe anime because it has female main characters. that's how this works.

the cast of dennou coil is mostly young girls from what i saw, so i don't think that's why iso is calling flip flappers moe. i think he's doing it because... it's much more colorful and high-energy? i really can't think of any reason other than that the characters have much more energy than most other things oshiyama's worked on

iso is a good director and dennou coil is a cool show but if he's just pooping on flip flappers because it's a ridiculous high-energy, colorful magical girl show then i think he's being dumb

i mean, they've worked with each other in the past and oshiyama mentioned his friends giving him crap for flip flappers not being as crazy with visuals as some of is other stuff, so i imagine it's not the first time

How many times will I restart Bloodborne I wonder. I'm already at three, mostly just because I wanted to try all three weapons. But, I'm still not sure what origin I should pick.

Noble Scion for bloodtinge builds, Cruel Fate for arcane builds (neither should be attempted until you've gotten very familiar with the game), Military Veteran for pretty much everyone else.

Bloodtinge and arcane are to a certain extent all-or-nothing stats, although there is a case for taking arcane to 15 or 18 for some utility. For arcane to really shine, you want it to be in the 84-99 range, though, because its scaling works entirely differently than other stats.

Yes, he made a joke with Mana saying that if Toda rejects her, she could just settle with him and she threatened to tell his girlfriend

The first time I heard the term moe was when Ar Tonelico came out so I have no idea how it's supposed to be used. Is it an actual term or just slang?
