I remember looking at the rows of PC game boxes at the store and being very curious about Myst. But for some reason I never asked my parents for it. I guess maybe since I didn’t really have any idea what it was, it just felt like something out of reach.

I love “artsy puzzle games” now, so I feel like that would have been a pretty cool experience for me way back then!

I keep thinking back to years ago when someone at work tried to tell me this guy was good and I could just tell on vibes alone to stay clear.

Agreed! I’ve been picking dungeon up from my local library and reading along with the show and it’s been fun comparing the two.

Only Dungeon Meshi so far but I’d like to change that. Just not sure what to start. Maybe pick another Gundam to watch.

I started Kaiju no 8 and wasn’t feeling it, curious if it gets markedly better.

I also only had time for one episode so far but I dug it. Felt like they really nailed the vibe. I am loving our three main characters too.

I’m not a huge fan of gore but the violence here felt on par with the game and a little bit slapstick in a way that for me made it less gross and more silly.

I’m excited to watch more soon!

Coming back to revise my answer. It’s definitely FF7 Chadley.

Haha, sorry. They just drove me up the wall. Somebody else in this thread besmirched a character I like though so I know the feels.

The first that comes to mind is the entire crew in Pikmin 4, and particularly Collin. Those little chatterboxes never ever shut up or cease giving you advice on things you already know how to do. I hate them so much.

Will somebody please make the live actions stop.

I love how, much like the confrontation with Qual, this show subverts your expectations of a typical shonen. In the end there is no big bombastic fight, it’s over in minutes. And DAMN that ending, even though Aura is evil, felt cold as fuck.

If I have one criticism of this episode in particular is that it felt like a long wikipedia entry info dump. That’s just a thing anime/manga do from time to time but it felt more pronounced here. Within a minute of Flamme giving her speech about hiding mana you pretty much know exactly how things are gonna go.

Damn if this show can’t still make me tear up, seeing the flowers around Flamme’s grave.

Completely agree, WFM needed another season or at least another stretch of episodes. So much potential left on the floor. It sucks cause I loved the series and the characters, and I credit it for getting me back into Gundam after many years away.

I’ve been watching Iron Blooded Orphans to fill in the gap and it’s pretty good.
