Harem: In the harem ending Wake chooses to invite all of the heroines to the festival, as he knows that selecting only one of them would upset the others. The girls are shown talking to one another, where they each confess that they had asked Wake to accompany them. They then admit that they also knew that he was paying attention to all of them at the same time, but chose not to do anything because they didn't think that they could do anything about it as strong bonds were needed in order to create strong Star Children and that he was not doing so just because he was being calculative. Wake finds his teammates all dressed in fancy dresses, and is urged to pick one of them. The scene then shifts to show Wake accompanying all of the heroines as they visit each other's home towns as well as assist Ellie in eliminating Heretics.

When are we getting a Pokemon where you directly control your monster in an arena?
No, Pokken is not what I mean.

I had a good laugh at the Marvel vs Capcom Infinite press release where they spent a good third of it repeatedly going over that it'll have Story Mode and Arcade and all that stuff.

Well they sure as hell can't afford another SFV fiasco, and when they say "story mode" it had better be on par with what Netherrealm brings to the table.

What did you think of RE:Zero Kara? I think it was probably one of the stronger releases of the 2016 anime season, but it was good to see Diamond is Unbreakable finally released in full. Did you prefer the HorribleSubs release, or did you prefer the Deadfish release like I did where they got the Stand names correct?
I'm chomping at the bit for the eng subs for Gaki No Tsukai's NYE No Laughing special to finally be released, because I have a bit of a hard time understanding the Kansai dialect with my limited understanding of Japanese.

As I said my Japanese isn't the greatest, so I'm actually thinking of actually taking a course in the next year or so to learn it correctly. I mean I've got an absolutely extensive post history of liking anime and all things Japan, but please continue to think I'm being derogatory when I'm using media abbreviations.

Why are you fighting for your right to use an awkward thing where you type 3/5ths of the name of a country and it happens to be a slur from WW2. Why not just type two more letters?

Then you did a follow-up post where you typed Japanese or Japan several times, and lots of other letters and words. How much time did you save with those two letters?

OK so somehow I didn't know the word polack was a slur until I was embarrassingly old. I'd probably come across it in some old book or movie somewhere and it never really came up in my life. One day I used it in passing and was told that was a disparaging, racist term. Rather than spend a page defensively blustering about how I'm not racist, and deliberately using the term again and again in order to bait people into arguing with me, I went, Oh poo poo, I had no idea, and never used it as a substitute for Pole or Polish again.

JPN is only three letters. JP is two. Japan is five and oh horror of horrors Japanese is eight. You have plenty of options that don't have a history of denigrating another race, one of which is even less cumbersome to type out than the one you choose. Why don't you use those instead?
