    Anime General Discussion

    Honestly, VNs as a whole are tricky as hell to turn into anime. Example: Fate/stay night. The majority of Shirou's character development in the Fate route comes from inner monologues- which would translate horrifically to anime- which is why, when DEEN adapted that route alone for the anime he came across as an unbelievable idiot. (He totally is, but the VN made it bearable) And then the movie took the Unlimited Blade Works route and compressed it into two hours of confusion. It does not help that the three routes are basically required to be done in the order the game unlocks them in, and Fate is the first route. UBW is the second one, and as such the movie skips a chunk of really necessary exposition Fate gave. And then Heaven's Feel (the third and last route) needs both to make any sort of sense. Even worse is that HF has arguably the best Determinator moment in the history of VNs (spoilered below). It doesn't hurt that Heaven's Feel has this magnificence as your endgame backup.

    Something I found amusing with Naruto- someone on Mangahelpers has been doing "capslocking" of the recent chapters (since around 632)- script-ficcing the dialogue in abridged-style hilarity. Example: NARUTO: SASUKEEEHH!!! ARE YOU GOING TO BE ALL RIGHT??? I THINK I HEARD SOMEWHERE THAT ONLY SAGE THINGS WILL WORK ON OBITO!! DO YOU REMEMBER THAT?? SOMETHING ABOUT SAGE STUFF??? TOBIRAMA: OH MY GOD. NARUTO: DO YOU REMEMBER, SASUKE?? WELL DO YOU? ABOUT THE SAGE JUTSUS? AND OBITO? ARE YOU SURE YOU KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING? I CERTAINLY WOULDN'T WANT YOU TO GET IN OVER YOUR HEAD BECAUSE YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT'S GOING ON!! SASUKE: THERE IS LITERALLY NO WAY FOR ME TO SIT ON MY IMPATIENCE ENOUGH TO RESPOND TO THAT WITHOUT SOUNDING LIKE A DICK. IT'S JUST NOT HUMANLY POSSIBLE. THANKS FOR THAT, NARUTO. NARUTO: YAY, I'M HELPING!

    There are a few good dubs. Like, the "big three" all have weaker dubs (although Funi's new One Piece dub has improved pretty well), but FMAB's dub I find to be just as good as the original. Other thing is, if I'm watching a dub, I don't have to pay obsessive attention to the text at the bottom of the screen.

    A very recent chapter of Kenichi had Shigure beating the crap out of a battalion of mooks entirely naked. It also had a mouse firing a machine gun. This series is some bizarre combination of amazing and fucking stupid.

    Fairy Tail's new villains are horrifyingly evil. And I can't wait. I can never decide if I like or dislike Kenichi.

    Pokemon

    On the other hand, the Maison gives out points like candy once you hit supers. I bought all the TMs they had within two days. Which segues into a thought I had about the evolution of TMs. In Gen 1, they were usually some of the best moves (see: celadon department rooftop, Surge, Blaine, and Sabrina). In Gen 2, TMs went way down in value so to speak- the 95-moves weren't even obtainable in Gold and Silver, the game corner sold the 120s and the department sold the punches. Which led to anything that could learn Ice Beam naturally (Lapras, Dewgong, Cloyster) being at a premium because of Lance. In turn this also made natural movepools hugely important- There were like two electric types in Johto (ampharos and magneton were the only ones iirc) and neither got Bolt naturally. The Beasts even got an odd disconnect there- Entei got Flamethrower at 51, Suicune could get taught Surf immediately, and Raikou didn't even get Thunder until 71. And then they got brought back as game corner TMs in gens 3 and 4... and then they became infinite use in gen 5.
