By the way, I'll probably make a fresh thread for MHA season 3 tonight or tomorrow.
Please remember to put the word MANGA prominently in the thread title, as is tradition.

I'm shocked someone went to all the legal effort to animate Hi Score Girl.

oh now that I look SNK already sued and settled over the manga in 2014 so I guess they got that part out of the way

Colors ended today, it was good. The slow pan over to Yui's dead-eyed stare at Sacchan and her mom was possibly the funniest moment of the season.

Sort of? The idea seemed to be that all the escalator students were French and all the transfers were Japanese.

...Despite the fact that in-universe all the schools are actually Japanese and just act like their countries? Since they made a point of Katyusha not actually knowing Russian and Darjeeling not actually having been to the UK? Maybe all the escalator Freedom students just dye their hair???

The intro to Fist of the Blue Sky looks really neat, shame about everything else. The character lighting really clashes with the background and framerate. If you're going to have game cutscene characters my brain expects them to at least be animated on 1s.

It annoys me a lot that in the new LoGH they constantly refer to the space navy and fleets as the army and armies. The original didn't do that, did it? How can you get that wrong???

Hinamatsuri seems like a great adaptation. It's got the comedic timing down and has some of the best animation of the season so far.

Will Gun Gale make sense if I only watched three or four episodes of the original SAO?
It tells you everything you need to know about the setting in the first few seconds: after SAO was beaten, the core of the VRMMO code was released to the public and now there are a ton of them out there in a bunch of different genres.

I haven't played either game and found Caligula much more confusing.

Knowing Persona 4 probably helped though.

i can’t remember who was asking why players in ggo don’t just use speed hacks all the time and it’s cause they use a strength/agility system so if you want to use anything over a smg/sword/pistol your speed is weakened.
Yeah IIRC it only works for the protagonist because her avatar is so tiny, and you can't customize your avatar for some reason I can't remember, so few people can get away with a pure agility build. Which is ridiculous for other reasons you're probably thinking of right now but that's just continuing the tradition of none of the games in SAO making any sense to people who actually design or play games.

This is probably all going to be explained in episode 2 when it goes back to the actual beginning of the story.

I wonder what the biggest technical hurdles in making an openworld mmo-FPS would be in the present day? I'd imagine a huge issue would be draw range for sniping, especially if there is no real projectile. Both modern MMO's and shooters use TCP for important data, right? So that wouldn't be an issue? I wish I knew more about networking.
It can be done. Planetside was a true MMOFPS and it was released in 2003. It's just much harder than RPGs because shooter is just about the most latency-intolerant genre that exists, and the more frequently your server updates and clients communicate the more work they do per player, meaning performance will degrade more quickly when more players get close to each other. Combined with the fact that non-MMO shooters were more popular and easier to build and maintain I guess almost nobody saw the risk as worth the reward.

Games generally use UDP. TCP is very unsuited to low-latency applications because it sacrifices latency for reliability, and most games don't need reliability because if the internet loses a packet you can just resync on the next one 1/60th or 1/30th of a second later. The exception to that is strategy games where the game state is too big to be resynced on the fly. Those generally work by having all the clients run in lock-step and only sending "orders" over the network, so each client independently calculates exactly the same game state. I think they still usually use UDP though - they just add a simple and fast reliability protocol over it, because latency still matters and TCP would be overkill.

I didn't know "terrible harem comedy, but with a female protagonist" was a genre that even existed, but Love To-lie-angle is that, and it's unbelievably bad.

And that's the manga! The anime takes that and cuts everything except three minutes of the protagonist stumbling in on girls naked and then getting hit by the tsundere girl. Over and over again.

Well, I certainly wasn't expecting Cutie Honey Universe to slaughter Honey's entire school.

But then I've never read the original so maybe it's true to form. Does seem like something Nagai would do.

It turns out Beatless finally delivered the twist I was hoping for, though unfortunately it took 19 episodes of mostly so-so execution.
