I hate this world.

And you made your avatar black

What happened this time as does a million others will ask? You already went this far, might as well tell the class.

 

[Metal Shop X]

@ShinyLegendary why do you have a black box as your avi? My experience on the internet told me it's not a good sign.

Hunter, don't think that way! I know there are some days that seem like we said something that seem to have cursed others or ourselves, but that's just how life is...had to learn it again some days ago, where at first everything seemed okay and then, at one point, it was event after event of just, bad happenings. I was stressed out and I felt it was never going to end, but it did, and in between all that, there were at least some good news. I don't know Breloom that much, but I do also wish that his situation gets better, no matter what it is.

Oh don't worry, I know I didn't "curse" someone with my last post yesterday, but it's still a BIG bummer, you know?

Let's just hope the best for him now, since there isn't much we can do at the moment.

Psssst.

You got a Discord my dude?

I totally understand. And you are right, we can all just hope for the best.

Good times.

Do believe you'll be getting a message shortly.

....OK.

Just, stay calm and don't do anything weird/stupid, OK? I know you're feeling really bad right now, but I wouldn't something bad happen to you too.

Bad things always happen to good people. That's life. Tuberculosis won't kill him though I'm pretty sure. A "good chance" is always preventable thanks to modern medicine.

Damn, I was about to play some games on mt 3DS but a thunderstorm had to come around and thunder makes me tired

Damn that sounds good right about now actually.

 

[Will]

There are plenty of people who main low tiers because they're low tier. I've seen many koopas, maybe 2 greninjas, but 0 lucarios

It's basically Cloud saying he has fear he will be an old man by the time FFVII remake comes out, just like Dante.

Ah, a fellow sufferer of Vinerizon, my condolences.

Hi there. Us Bowser Jr. players exist ya know.

Proof that no one plays Lucario or cares about Sean Schemmels fursona

I've been playing Lucario since Brawl.

Yes, I know he's not on my banner. I had to make space for my most wanted too.

 

[PeridotGX]

Hi there. Us Bowser Jr. players exist ya know.

I like Bowser. Jr, he's just so bad for some reason. He was fine in 4, but something just made him feel worse in Ultimate and I don't know what.

 

[osby]

Not sure about Lucario, but it's crazy how much Wii Fit Trainers I see online.

Some days I literally forget Toon Link is in this game.

To help lighten up the mood (which I'm sure is already lightened but this took time to make), I'm going to gush about why I like Konosuba. This was/is a part of a Top 10 anime list that I was making, and might continue if y'all are interested.

Spoiler: 4. Konosuba

Why do I like Konosuba? It's easy.
Megumin.

Nuff said.

Being serious, Konosuba is a brilliant anime. It was a highly enjoyable first watch, and the more I read/watch about it the more I like it. It might beat out Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood if it weren't for the nostalgia I hold for the latter if I'm speaking honestly.

To give a premise, the protagonist Kazuma dies and is given the chance to reincarnate into a fantasy world with any 1 item of his choice. Out of spite, he chooses the goddess who handles reincarnation, Aqua. The two are transported to another world and given the task of defeating the Demon King. Along the way they party up with Megumin, an explosion-obsessed mage who can only use her explosion spell once a day before becoming physically and magically drained, and Darkness, a masochist crusader who can't hit anything. The show follows Kazuma and his party's misadventures in this world, with Kazuma learning that, while life in this new world isn't as he expected, it isn't too bad.

The highlight of Konosuba is easily its characters. The chemistry between them is almost magical; Mother's Basement puts it best in that the characters are immediately close with one another. This allows their virtues and flaws to mesh with each other, which creates countless scenarios and sets up a majority of the jokes. All 4 of the main characters are fundamentally flawed, and there's an argument for each of them being horrible people, but at the same time each of them pull through when needed, and together are incredibly capable. Each character is animated to properly capture their emotions, which heightens the comedy (and makes for great reaction images).

None of this is mentioning how the show is a biting parody of the entire isekai genre (wherein the main character is transported to another world) and common harem tropes. The show accomplishes this in such a subtle way that I didn't even notice until it was pointed out to me, but that just makes the show even better to me.

Also, I'd like to give Konosuba props for my favorite anime opening animation ever. Typically openings are just opportunities to put cool scenes/foreshadowing to catchy J-Pop songs, but the second opening of Konosuba manages to condense an entire story in the opening. Take a watch for yourself:

no this wasn't an excuse to link both Konosuba OPs since I love both of them

The personalities of and chemistry between these characters is so well established that it can be conveyed in 90 seconds. If that's not impressive I don't know what is.

Let me know if you want to see this continued. I've got the list made, I just need to type up justifications and such.

Thanks Alpharad.

 

[Mythra]

I was a big Lucario main in Brawl. But in 4 it started to feel just too wacky despite I like the high risk/high reward gimmick, in Ultimate pretty much feels the same for me so I never use it anymore.

 

[Idon]

I really like Lucario's moveset with his whole martial arts and flaming blue aura effects.

It's just aura itself as a mechanic makes me want to die.
Like, literally I have to be close to dying to proc it.

It's like Joker except without the cool stand... so I guess it's hamon in this situation.

Eh. He honestly wasn't great in 4 either.

He's pretty much the same character this time around w/ a few minor tweaks.

It's just that in a roster of 70+ characters, he seems much worse by comparison. Hence why I don't main him in Ultimate (I do keep him as a secondary though).

Well said.
Konosuba's magic comes from it's characters. That's the secret recipe to a lot of good comedy anime out there, good chemistry between characters. Although in my opinion the top two spots for comedy anime has to go to Gintama and Grand Blue, those two are just on another level.

I'd watch Gintama.

But there are so many episodes.

I don't know if I can do long shows anymore.

Would someone like to play an arena with me?

 

[PeridotGX]

Eh. He honestly wasn't great in 4 either.

It's not that. He just felt a lot more fun in 4. If he was a little more viable in that game, I would've mained him. Now, whatever it was that made him so fun is gone,

I felt that way with Roy at first, too. I came around with him, I hope Jr. follows soon.

 

[Zinith]

I don't see anyone online

So am I. I never do stuff anymore

So, just watched today's episode of DuckTales. And holy ****, was it intense.

First off, great write-up on Konosuba. Couldn't have said it better myself.

Second, I'd love to see you continue this list. I like seeing what other people are interested in.

*Me, minding my own business*

"Ya know, the final boss theme from Planet Robobot has been on my mind lately. I'll google it to get an idea what it's called."

"Huh, oh right, the final boss' name was Star Dream, let's see if there's anything neat in the ima----"

*GOOGLE CRASHES IN THROUGH MY SCREEN DOOR*

Google, "Hey brah. Heard you were looking up Kirby images, brah. You'd like some gijinkas, right brah?"

Me, "N...No, no I really wouldn't Go---"

Google, "I gotcha fam. I gotchu."


Why

 

[Wunderwaft]

I'd watch Gintama.

But there are so many episodes.

I don't know if I can do long shows anymore.

That's understandable. It is a big fish to swallow. My recommendation is to take it in waves. I watched the first 50 episodes and then took a month break. Came back to watch over a hundred episodes and took a break for another month. And then I watched like 70 and took another break. That's my tactic for big shows like this, and since Gintama isn't plot-heavy you don't have to worry about forgetting the details of some episodes and you can always come back to it.
