Getsuya posted:The question of why it's not getting an English translation is hard to ignore but what the heck it's a topdown shooter who needs to read it. Day 1 purchase for me. It's an easy question to answer at least Getting touhou on steam = simple to do = gets done Getting someone to translate the game = not simple to do = doesn't get done

Having now watched the anime for Re;zero instead of having just read the light novels, they actually did a really good job adapting it to an anime. I've read like, 2 light novels before so maybe that's common but I was impressed!

Moe was, for a very long time, associated with vapid slice-of-life shows about cute girls doing cute things. The release of several Moe shows in the mid 2000s started a sort of Shōjo renaissance, leading to a flood of 'cute girls doing cute things' style shows that were, at the time, a breath of fresh air compared to the endless parade of shonen giant-robot shows and ultra-dark, increasingly contrived seinen shows. However, as these moe shows caught on with a male audience, a change began to take form. The most noticeable immediate change was in drawing/modeling style. Compare female lead characters from the 90s and early 2000s with characters from today. Compare Black Lagoon's Levy to 2b. Compare Tifa to Pyra (or any of the female characters from Xenoblade, really). The female characters features in shonen and seinen media have grown more exaggeratedly effeminate and adolescent while still retaining their overt sexualization. In other words, characters appear to look younger than they are while still retaining classic anime sexualization. Yet its' not only in character inception and design that that moe sinks it's vapid, quivering tentacles. I think the much worse and more pervasive way moe has shifted characterization is in animation and how women are animated in games and anime. This is so subtle that I don't even know what to call it, but I find certain animations to be completely stomach churning. The most obvious example is when a female character is suddenly rotoscoped or animated at a much higher frame rate than male counterparts (for animators out there, when characters are drawn on 1's instead of 2's or 3's).

Sakurazuka posted:Which Games poster is this  The fact that Nintendo chose to lean on Moe stylings for Zelda showcases just how little attention this character got in her actual characterization. Acting 'cute', innocent, and vulnerable coupled with extreme closeups and soft lighting are simply Otaku baiting shortcuts at best, and at worse full on leaning into harmful female stereotyping by applying childlike movement and characterization to a young women. There are many, many more examples of this sort of character style in Japanese media, but Zelda's struck me as particularly egregious because I had hoped Nintendo would be above it. Moe trash like the characters of Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is basically expected at this point, but for moe styling to find its way into general audience is annoying and questionable. Ok, so where do we go from here? Why bring this up at all? Well, as we continue to talk about representation in gaming and both the overt and invisible ways groups are represented in our hobby, this felt like an area that has been left mostly unexplored. I think it goes without saying that sex and sexy things are not in and of themselves bad, nor is media made specifically for this purpose. But when we find certain patterns emerging in general audience media, or even niche media where such things are otherwise unnecessary, I feel like we should really reflect on what this says about ourselves and the cultures that consume said media.

Sindai posted:Wow, people weren't kidding about the different versions of Gatchaman Crowd's last episode. I really want to know how that even happened. Production issues, as always. Probably the CG for OD's fight was delayed, so they made the recap half of ep 11. Cut that and move everything back half an ep(minus one of the duped half of 12/13) and you'd have the original plan. The final part was probably the least finished so it was dropped, but drat they should have at least got some of it. Drop the Op/Ed and squeeze and cut that poo poo in.

Everything should be more adorable. If everything in this world was more heart-meltingly cute and it became more widely accepted for people of any gender or background to openly admit that they like things that are cute would we really have wars anymore? All the anger and rage of our day is due to folks being pressured by society to not show their softer emotions. Yes, life has made us all tsundere. It’s time for the dere my brothers and sisters. It’s time for the dere.
