@slimgrin I'm sorry to say that I don't remember you either. In any case, hello!
-
-
@slimgrin you hear of girls?
-
@slimgrin right? Can't wait
-
@slimgrin oh thank goodness
-
@slimgrin No problem! I'm glad you really liked it, I always love sharing and recommending things I've enjoyed!
-
@slimgrin Awesome! Lemme know your thoughts on it when/as you watch it.
-
@slimgrin I'd recommend Kyousougiga. It's one of my favourite dramas but no one I know online or offline has seen it. It's got really sharp writing and looks absolutely gorgeous, I can't recommend it enough.
-
@slimgrin I think I'm gonna show it to my mom next mother's day, it's a really sweet and charming film. I like heart-on-sleeve dramas a lot.
-
@slimgrin i think i could watch that someday
-
@slimgrin I think my favourite by them is probably The Tatami Galaxy, but they've done a ton of stuff I've liked. Summer Wars was really well done too, Mamoru Hosoda is a great director. Have you seen Wolf Children?
-
@slimgrin i watched that summer wars, but never heard about this death parade one
-
@slimgrin A ton of anime I really enjoy has been done by them: Texhnolyze, Dennou Coil, Boogiepop Phantom, Death Parade, the first season of Gunslinger Girl, plus all the major works of directors like Masaaki Yuasa, Satoshi Kon, Mamoru Hosoda. Madhouse are an anime titan.
-
@slimgrin yeah, i mean, it was a funny show, but I dont think it is all that thing people make it seems like
-
@slimgrin The animation was its strongest suit in my opinion, Studio Madhouse tend to be consistently great at making their shows look great
-
@slimgrin I mean, just look at these reactionaries online getting infuriated because cultural criticism is catching up to the gaming industry and people are just now finally starting to look at some games and say "okay these are fun and all but they're also pretty sexist". And a lot of people are just livid because they take a criticism on their hobby as a criticism on them. It's the same situation where people are unable to reconcile media and identity and get unabashedly defensive (except in the case I've mentioned it's much worse because so many female journalists have received myriads of death threats and worse for daring to look at video games in a wider context). People can get really scary with things they like.
-
@slimgrin i dont really know how people take One punch man seriously. I mean, it is nice, but it is pretty much a joke anime
-
@slimgrin The frustrating thing is that I don't even explicitly dislike One Punch Man, I just thought it wasn't really great. But people can sometimes deal in extremes where if I don't like something as much as they do then I must hate it or something, when in actuality I just approach media with different priorities. People tend to get really defensive about the media they enjoy, it's a kinda scary about being unable to reconcile identity with engagement.
-
@slimgrin It's pretty much someone saying a film was just okay and getting criticized for not reading the book it was based off of. An adaptation fails as an adaptation if it explicitly has to lean on the strength of its source material (not that One Punch Man does this, but it's a correlation fans make very often).
-
@slimgrin you'll never catch me
-
@slimgrin Thank you!! I haven't updated that blog in a while cause I've been pretty busy but I am proud of that piece, and I appreciate all the feedback I get.
-
@slimgrin :^((((
-
@slimgrin shush
-
@slimgrin Clearly you've never met me
-
@slimgrin Can't you see my cane and senior discount card
-
@slimgrin don't mention my old-fartness
-
@slimgrin We're like twins
-
@slimgrin heh heh heh
-
@slimgrin I'm kind of the same, I tend to hop between a ton of different styles of games and try not to pigeon hole my tastes too much, even if I end up not loving everything. Most of my favourites end up being games with writing I find compelling (games like Undertale come to mind for this) but I also engage with a ton of games just as the viscerally fun pieces of media they tend to be. You mentioning Cave Story already puts you in my good books too, that's one of my all time favourites.
