the uta games also all have alright (1's remake by NISA) to great (2/3 by Atlus) official localizations now so I'd recommend just playing those if you have any interest in the sequels. I haven't watched them in full, but the anime for 2 and likely 3 are generally agreed to have some fun bits of animation and moments but aren't as solid as the old anime as adaptations.

But otherwise great! Will some of the names here thrown about be in consideration?

Baal really burned out thanks to that whole mess, and I am guessing a big part of it was queuing up bans or probes for the admin team to override or just not get them? It seems like that was a big hassle, as well as general deafness to their concerns because "lol ADTRW"

Well, the sequels are also like, 40-60 hour games depending on how much you want to do, so keep that in mind too. If you’re just want to get the story the anime will definitely be less time involved.

What happen in public forums is only half the story. I am not going to put Baals business out there, but before there was even an opportunity to do anything, they bailed. Did we not act fast enough? Yea. Were we given any opportunity to rectify the conflict? No.

As far as we know, Baal only came back as a favor to Julias. I definitely could see him deciding things weren't worth it after the mess that happened.

I Failed At Anime 2022

The Black Stones posted:

Stranger is great. The first season sets up an insanely good mystery and it’s a ride the whole way down. All the reveals kept me on the edge of my seat.

Season 2 I’m not as big on at the moment. The inciting incident isn’t that compelling and it still seems like it’s spinning it’s wheels at trying to find the grand conspiracy/problem that’s forcing the characters to clash with each other. It’s still good, but it’s definitely missing what made season 1 so good.

Yeah, I'm working on S2 now and it's not quite as tense or tight. I'd probably still watch a 3rd season if they keep making them though, I love the characters.

You'd think this, huh?

But it might be different for a Wal-Mart that closes at 11 than my Macy's that closes at 9. Whenever we're open late for a sale, those night hours ARE usually pretty dead.

Yeah, I had been planning to step down before burning out all the way back in early 2021. Once Wark Say got banned and I dealt with the v-tuber thread issues at the time, I focused on looking for two replacement mods so that way they could ease into the position and help each other out, and then I'd step down after they got settled in.

Unfortunately the well had been poisoned at this point, and due to various factors, everyone that the admins and I approached about it turned the offer to be a mod down. I don't think the recent drama was the only reason for that. As others have said, it's a pretty thankless job that doesn't pay anything and paints a target on your back. Especially in the modern day, with people's real life identities being much more out there online and SA having an ingrained culture spawning a decade or two, it makes for a high bar for entry without much worthwhile payoff.

Baal had actually initially declined my offer for returning as a mod, but changed his mind because he could see that I was burning out and didn't want me to suffer because of it. I'm thankful that he took over because it gave me time to focus on other things, to relieve the stress that had accumulated, and to get a fresh perspective on how I was moderating at the time. I am still regretful about how things played out with baal here, but he's currently happier not having to deal with the stress of dealing with goons, so I'm glad he was able to get out in the end.

Aside from the new one coming next year isn’t there only one Trigun anime currently or did I miss something?
