He doesnt "get supernatural" in the sense that he gains powers but he gets involved with stuff like hunting vamps alongside Blade or even fighting the Werewolf by night character...he fights supernatural creatures in the same brutal way he fights humans xD...the only exception was this one comic where he combine with the spirit of vengeance and becomes Ghost Rider (that was a one time only in the comics at some point).
Speaking on Punisher..big update...next year we will see him in 3 projects:
He has his own "Presentation" (short movie)...he will be in season 2 of Daredevil PLUS he is now confirmed for Spider Man: Brand New Day movie
Punisher and SpiderMan collab was not in my bingo book...but im here for it!!!

"So I am keen to see how this avengers can carry the next generation of movies, but right now I see them as avengers at home xD"
That wont be the case...they will combine with Sam´s new avengers team..probably lose badly to Dr.Doom and then after Secret Wars the mcu will go though a soft reboot so they wont stick with this team for long....apparently they even talk about not using the avengers right away after Secret Wars and instead focused more on XMen and F4 and wait some time before bringing an actual new avengers team....calling the Thunderbolts "The New Avengers" was more of a hype thing xD

Ironheart is Riri Williams the girl who put on her own iron suit during the second Black Panther movie...Namor was coming for her in the movie and Wakanda was protecting her....in the comics she basically the female version of Iron Man so she should be a big deal but alot of people have 0 interest on the character xD
Anyway her series ends tomorrow...they released first 3 episodes last week and tomorrow we have the last 3..first 3 were entertaining...its mostly a self contained story of her doing dirty work to get money to improve her suit...the mistery here is that the big bad is connected to some powerfull supernatural entity ...biggest theories right now are Mephisto or Dormammu...guess I will find out tomorrow.

It was mostly Ellie´s perspective with Abby and her group having enough scenes to explain their motivations to want to kill Joel...season 3 will definitely start with her perspective from the entire Seatlle journey until the moment they end season 2...i guess when they did season 1 they thought they should skip some scenes but then saw the fans reaction and now decide to adapt pretty much everything which will take 2 seasons...I remember that character from the Witcher xD...fortunately Eliie´s change from TV to game is not on that level...but I guess alot of fans have a crush on game Ellie or something cause they got pissed xD.

Since we´re talking zombie games this is the best place to add this new topic..did you watch the Summer Game Fest??
They annouce sequels to my 2 favorite zombie franchises..Dying Light and Resident Evil:
After Dying Light 2 had a different mc compared to the first now we have Dying Light: Beast coming out next month that will follow the mc from the original game...hopefully now that they have 2 mcs they turn this into something like RE where they go back and forth with different mcs.
Regarding Resident Evil we have Re9: Resident Evil Requiem coming out next February...following FBI agent Grace Ashcroft..she is not from the main line of games..she is the daughter of Alyssa Ashcroft that was part of Resident Evil: Outbreak...never played that so I had to google about it..Grace is described as introverted and easily scared which apparently is the reason why they have her as a mc because apparently they want to focus on the horror and jump scare aspect of it and a character like Leon or Chris wouldnt be scared easily xD..other teases are the return to Racoon City in present day..decades after the incident and there is still the possibility of a character like Leon to have a role similar to Chris´s role in Re8.

About Your Forma I was talking about the brutal death of Lucraft´s first partner...being "chainsawed" alive right before him..the revelation of the real killer in the end was unexpected although what wasnt unexpected was the fact that Lucraft was not bound by the Laws of Respect...they had teased that before...overall good show and since I rarely read anything new this days, hope they do a sequel eventually.

"...She was a child last he saw her, he wouldn’t know how big her hand would be now…. And even if he did I would find it far fetched still haha."
Yes I thought the same...recognizing your now adult daughter by her hand was a pretty lame plotpoint xD...Im ok with the characters dying since there are so many shows where I complaint the lack of it (like One Piece)...its true that sometimes its too much but I still prefer that over that annoying plot convenience where characters survive when they clearly shouldnt...I have been reading and even seeing videos about the Rafal situation and there doesnt seem to be a consensus...some people think like you that he survived arc 1 somehow...others insist that it isnt him despite the same design and voice actor (he is never called by his name on the last arc so some people use that as a potential argument)..overall still a hell of a show and honestly im glad that i marathoned it instead of watching it weekly.

"What do your friends usually go? Do you double up classes or go completely separate....I don’t think I really wanna play this game solo, did you end up trying it? How was it? ...Something I do want to know though is there an ideal order to fight them in. Or can I just pick any random one to fight next. ...Have you ended up playing any other souls-like btw?)"

So...By now i pretty much did everything in Elden Ring: NightRein...havent finish exploring the lore with every character..but I played with every single class..I would go back to Ironeye or Duchess when we were losing to much but still play some rounds with others...maybe you and your brother should try play with some random online...did a few random rounds with 2 other random players and some werent that bad..we did double on classes sometimes...2 of the most annoying bosses are the Sentient Pest (name is Gnoster Wisdom of Night ..an annoying boss that has this annoying moth flying around) and the Augur (Maris, Fathom of Night...whale like creature that flies around and never stops moving around) for this 2 we decide to use 2 Ironeyes because without long distance attacks this 2 are though...by far the 2 most annoying bosses in all of Elden Ring (for me) that being said.. . Libra, Creature of Night...Fulghor, Champion of Nightglow (the centaur), and the final boss Heolstor the Nightlord were really dope...final boss is one of the best boss fights in Elden Ring for me ...also the music that plays during the Dragon boss was freaking cool..I did play a few rounds solo...the game clearly wasnt made for solo although they tried to patch it to make it easier...only beat 1 of the bosses by myself and it was a struggle...the ideal order is the one that is presented but you can try a different one...and no, I havent played another Souls game yet.

"You heard anything about Clair Obscur Expedition 33? "
Heard a few things about it...also I think Trash Taste mentioned it recently...damn you would add it to your bests of all time...thats big...my free time is mostly filled with anime and live action with games being a 3º on my list of hobbies...definitely dont play as much as you...my top 3 of all time is Hogwarts Legacy, Witcher 3 and Elden Ring...and most games I play are from the same franchises like Harry Potter, Pokemon and Resident Evil...is very rare that I play an entire new game (like what happen with Elden Ring eventually) the only games coming out this year that im planning to play are Dying Light: Beast and Pokemon Legends Z-A..bet you have a bigger list xD

" A part of me still thinks you are pulling my leg and you are watching it. You got me good buddy."
LMAO...im not...we did talk about Loser Ranger before and I remember being interested but never got around to watch it...could say I will watch it eventually but not a guarantee...lately it feels like after every season I have a show that I didnt watch but want to watch eventually..my plan to watch list is getting insane.

"...I watched the whole thing and now I consider myself a Black Clover fan."
Was not expecting that from you xD...also still a fan although since the manga stopped being weekly the hype kinda died down...its the final arc and the chapters take so long to come out that its getting hard to keep track of things

Summer Season is here....and damn what a season...my list:
New shows: Gachiakuta (really good synopsis and apparently there is some hype about it already)...The Summer Hikaru Died, another one that has some hype around it already...Turkey (sports series..have to give it a try xD)...Tougen Anki, another interesting synopsis
Sequels: Grand Blue, Shield Hero, Dandadan, Kaijuu, Call of the Night and Dr.Stone
Will be busy this season...what are you watching??
Choco22 Jun 3, 4:15 PM
No details were revealed about the content of the Punisher presentation...maybe it will just be him slaughtering the Punisher cops for one hour xD..I would also prefer a new season for him but I think the problem is that most of his villains were already used in his previous appearances....unless they want to explore the more supernatural side of his character from the comics (in the comics he also gets involved with characters like Blade and Ghost Rider)...as for Daredevil taking a bullet for KingPin...that was a plot convenience that serve a few purposes:
to keep Fisk alive (Bullseye wouldnt miss in a situation like that)
weaken Matt to justify the arrival of Punisher, Karen and other allies for season 2 (Jessica Jones is confirmed)
and probably will be used to add some drama to the Matt and Fisk situation for Season 2 since Fisk now owes him...although he immediately ordered his guy to go kill Matt I wouldnt be surprised if Matt saving him ends up being use as a plot point for Fisk to do something for him at some point
Besides this its probably just one of those moments where the hero does something stupid because he is the hero xD.

"Don’t see how they can be the new avengers though, they seem WAY underpowered compared to the OG avengers. Guess we will find out with Doomsday. "

Underpowered?? not really...Bob himself is one of the strongest in Marvel right now (although he is afraid of his powers) plus Ghost ability is still really op and they have 3 super soldiers in Bucky, Red Guardian and Walker..plus a Black Widow...although this last 4 are all quite similar so they do make a weird group...the credits scene tease some conflict between their group and the group that Sam is leading (that we are still yet to meet)..in Doomsday they will probably all unite besides the Fantastic Four to face Doctor Doom..and probably have their asses kicked leading to the creation of the BattleWorld where Secret Wars takes place like in the comics.
Thunderbolts was really good, just like im expecting Fantastic Four next month to be...in the meantime IronHeart is coming out this month and...cant really say im hyped for this one xD...Barely remember the character from Black Panther 2.

Last of Us Season 2 ended on episode 7..final scene was Abby killing Jesse and turning to Ellie saying the line "I Let you live and you wasted it" and then it cuts to black when she is about to fire at Ellie...then we go back to Seattle day 1 this time from Abby perspective...so season 3 we will probably be starting with Abby as the mc and follow her until that event and then beyond ...they are talking needing a season 4 to adapt everything..just hope they shot the seasons back to back, if we have to wait 2 years for each one it will be a drag...they definitely gain new gamers with this one since alot of people went to the game to see the continuation after the cliffhanger...some changes they made:
Jesse was a bigger character and they made him feel way more important and likeable, probably to increase the shock value for his death....they include more infected this season, besides runners (bunch of them) and clickers, there was one Bloater, 2 scenes with Stalkers...one with just one of them vs Eliie and second scene with Ellie and Dina vs eleven of them (both scenes were really good) and they included spores in the hospital scene where Nora dies...the reason in the show for spores to not spread outside was because the Wolves in Seattle locked that area leaving some of their guys behind but preventing the spores to spread...other differences were that they gave one of Abby scenes to Ellie so far with no explanation...its the scene where in the game Abby is captured by the Scars and they almost sacrificed her..for whatever reason the show gave this scene to Ellie...also the deaths of Owen and the pregnant girl have some differences that pissed of fans because it made tv show Ellie more soft than ruthless Ellie from the games..in the games she shots Owen and then stabs the girl in the neck before realising that she was preggo...in the tv show she shoots Owen and the bullet also hits the girl in the neck...in her dying breaths she shows Ellie her belly and asks her to save the baby but Ellie doesnt know what to do and just watches them die in panic before Tommy and Jesse appear and they go back to the theather where Abby eventually finds them.
Overall liked the show...love the one to one adaptations...Bella´s acting is good but the writing for Ellie is getting on my nerves a bit because they keep making her look so dumb and incapable of doing something properly without Dina or Jesse there to help...Actress who plays Abby did a good job but next season will be her real test since we will see most of the events of this season but from her perspective..ironically while people are upset that Bella Ramsey isnt as attractive as the Ellie from the games no one complains about Dina...the actress was one of the highlights of the season not only because of her acting but she is really pretty ...way more than Dina from the games but of course in this case no one complaints xD.

The good news was just that Season 3 of S.Leveling is officially happening...the waiting isnt necessarely a good one but it really seems that this wont be one of those shows with a new season per year.

Interesting description...Dungeon Meshi really didnt sound like my kind of show despite all the praise but you got me interested....wont started it right away but it will be my next marathon once I have more time.

They just did a flashback arc in Your Forma but instead of showing Echika with a former partner it shows Lucraft with his former partner and oh boy...the end of that arc was brutal..honestly while Lazarus is visually a better show and still quite entertaining im more invested on the plot of this one.

Not a fan of overtime either (I doubt anyone is)...but sometimes you have to xD...although I dont accept overtime of hours...one extra hour every other day...more than that and Ill riot xD.

Finished Orb...overall really great show..solid 9/10:
I wished Nowak would actually met his daughter one last time...at the very end it seems he figured it out it was her but would love to see his reaction to her being the leader of that rebel group...the message of the show is powerfull...Rafal dies to protect the stone chest but that ended up being burned, not before reaching Oczy and Badeni and helping him with his teasis of the heliocentric model...unfortunately his research never reached anyone since he and Oczy were both caught but he was able to save Oczy´s journal, that become the goal of Jolenta to publish that book..that ended up being destroyed by Draka but its okay because she has fotografic memory so she can remember all of it..so then Jolenta, Schmitt and all the others died so that she can escape and get the book published but as it seems that she is about to succeed she is stopped by Nowak the guy that to the very end thought he was the good guy..in his last moments he realise he was in fact the villain....Draka dies and everything about Oczy´s book dies with her...she is only able to send Jolenta last letter that seems pointless since its a request to give 10% of the book profit to Potocki which was a thing from the very begining...this letter was pointless but the last mc Albert hears the name of the book "Movements of the Earth" and laughs since the Earth isnt moving...however it seems that the idea stuck with him because years later he present his teasis about how the geocentric model wasnt correct and that end up motivating one of his students called Copernicus to finish the task (he is the guy that completed the heliocentric model in our world)...its like none of the characters succeed with their objectives but they were all able to send something to the future that helped others complete their goal...beautiful storytelling.
The last arc got me really confused thou..so Albert knew Rafal ...however at some point it seemed like I was watching a paralel universe because that Rafal and the Rafal from the first arc seemed quite different, the timeline is confusing me a bit...dont remember seeing anything about that secret club in the first arc...also he killed Albert´s father and apparently was caught afterwards...was that ever adressed in the first arc?? or was him not Rafal? (same appearance and voice actor) ..he also seemed a bit older...did Rafal survive when we tought he died?? thats my only "issue" with the story....but still really good show, now I get why Gigguk went out of his way to make a video fully dedicated to it.

They confirmed they are continuing the Arcane series but the focus will be on other characters...so there is definitely more coming...in like 2/3 years xD

You´re probably all over Elden Ring: NightRein by now so:
I been playing with my 2 friends...I started with the archer (Ironeye), then changed to Duchess when I unlocked her and so far I have been back and forth with these 2 classes...I got better results with the Archer but im definitely trying to get better with the Duchess cause I really like her character..her skill to have the enemy retake the last damage is pretty op when I managed to used it at the right times xD..her ultimate is shared invisibility that also gets better results when I managed to used in the right moments...overall we´re having fun although it feels a bit repetitive sometimes...my 2 friends are both more skilled players then I...I beat Elden Ring and the DLC but not only they played more time they also played other fromsoftware games...with one of them leading the party we manage to have some very good runs although sometimes we go our separated ways and then its chaos xD...we only have 2 more nightlords to beat that we will be handling in our next run tomorrow...after that I plan to try solo....being hearing nightmares about this game for solo players, its either that or people complaining that playing with randoms can be frustrating especially because more skilled players end up having to carry when they are paired with rookies which apparently is happening alot xD
How´s your experience so far?

Also in related news ...Ill copy what the article says:
Live-Action Film Adaptation Of ELDEN RING Announced. Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. and A24 today announced their collaboration with writer and director Alex Garland for a live-action film adaptation of FromSoftware Inc.'s world-renowned video game ELDEN RING™.26/05/2025

Its freaking happening!!!!

So...you gave me an entire paragraph of plot details about Loser Ranger...im not watching the show xD (maybe you thought I was?), I remember you talking about it when season 1 came out but I never got down to watch it.

Dont really plan on starting a new show for now but I saw that To be Hero X has 2 prequels...did you watch them?...it will have 24 episodes so I might still catch up to it when I got more time...maybe I will try to catch up to that before watching Dungeon Meshi.

Dont really have any show to recomend..the ones im watching this season and you´re not are: sequel to Wind Breaker and the My Hero spinoff Vigilantes...Vigilantes being my favorite of the season but you strike me as someone who has "MyHero Fatigue" xD so dont think its for you (mc is more entertaining that Deku, he is not in highschool, cool quirk, backstory of Hero Killer Stein takes place during the first episodes, best opening of the season) there I tried to convince you xD.

"Well punisher wasn’t in the last episode and I don’t really see him being in the next one, but I would love to be proved wrong. And they have a confirmed season 2? That is awesome, are there any confirmed punisher seasons? It would be kinda lame to bring him back for just a tiny cameo."

Im going to assume you watched the last episode already and if so...they did prove you wrong...that Punisher and DDevil team up was dope...also liked to see Karen return....so there wont be a Punisher season instead he will get his own "presentation"...like those short movies that they made for Werewolf by Night and the Guardians of the Galaxy Christmas special...its coming out next year along with Daredevil Season 2...related to Marvel im actually about to go watch Thunderbolts (in a few hours from me writing this comment...so far I have been avoiding spoilers but it seems most people liked it...did you watch it?).

"Some differences wouldn’t be enough to make me excited for Season 2 of Last of Us. There would need to be significant changes for me to give it a chance. Even just slightly more Joel wouldn’t be enough."

Dont think you will care about spoilers for this one...so....4 episodes in...they only made small changes so far...viewers already know why Abby did what she did..they started the season with her group burying the fireflies and basically explaining that her dad was the doctor...Joel still died on episode 2, there were some changes....Joel is with Dina instead of Tommy because they added a new scene that its probably the best of the show so far...so in the game Joel saves Abby from that group of infected..in the episode that group is part of a bigger horde that is attacking their town...Tommy is leading the defense of the town while Joel and Dina go to Abby´s hideout where the thing happens...pretty similar to the game with the only difference being Dina instead of Tommy...Ellie still arrives in time to see the final blow...now the attack on Jackson is freaking sick...some people are already pointing out that this was better than long night in GOT...they defend the walls of the town against the dead with fire and oil but eventually a Bloater breaks the wall and the death enter and then its flamethrowers, snipers on the roof, dogs vs dead..Tommy with a flamethrower vs the Bloater...the all thing looks freaking good...some people complained that there werent that many death in season 1 so maybe thats why they made this scene...currently Ellie and Dina are already in Seattle...we met Isaac portrayed by the same actor who voices him in the game...the focus on the last episode was Ellie getting bite (to save Dina ..a nice change) and then Dina finds out Ellie is immune...Ellie finds out Dina is pregnant..we basically end with the morning after that...the subway scene with the death is also pretty well done, just like in Season 1 they are doing those almost shot by shot scenes and everything looks so similar...freaking wish they hired this team to adapt Resident Evil...apparently the reason this will have a Season 3 is not because of new content..they just split Last of Us 2 into 2 seasons ...the irony is that they probably have the audience know Abby´s reasons so that they can try to have the viewers emphatize with her...and yet just like with the game, most new viewers are so pissed at Joel dying like this that most of them are saying that they are totally on board with Ellie hunting them down xD.

So About Solo Leveling Season 3: Good news is that its confirmed...bad news is that after the sucess of Season 2 they really wanna have the same team working on it..Directors, assistants etc..and those people are all busy with other projects so they are talking about the season possible only coming in 2027 or even 2028 (most people were hoping that since the source material is done we would get a season per year like Bleach and MyHero but it doesnt seem to be the case sadly...and now our watch begins).

" I have this exact same dilemma with Dungeon Meshi. Another anime I would 100% recommend btw"
You would recommend Dungeon Meshi to me??..heard about it but it didnt seem to be my cup of tea...by the description at least..

So far im enjoying Lazarus....definitely not a drop but I agree with what Gigguk said about it in his recent video...it feels like something is missing...the actions scenes are pretty sick and the plot is interesting so its hard to put into words exactly what is missing...like its not like seeing that a new episode is out gets me hyoed or anything like for some other shows...i guess its missing the hype xD.

Speaking of Gigguk he didnt mention Your Forma in is new video and he normally mentions every seasonal show worth mentioning xD
You say that they change the order of events...as an anime only cant say anything looks off, so far the story seems easy to follow...its an interesting world and the 2 mcs are also interesting enough that the show feels enjoyable so far..it doesnt seem like it could even be contender for best of season or anything but its good..so far.

The thing about The beginning after the end that i dont get is that...yes the animation is average...but so far so is the plot and so are the characters...everything about this show seems average so far...good animation alone wouldnt make it that better so I still find all the hatred really weird...Why is average being hated?? Does the plot get really that good later on?? because honestly the only reason I didnt drop this one is ironically because of the hatred since Im now waiting for the plot to be better so it justifies the hate..never thought I would not drop what seems like an average isekai because the show is so hated that I really wanna find out why..xD.

"You can watch episodes at work and you get long periods of nothing. Living the life man xD"

Well..you jinxed it xD...(not really I knew what was coming)...the thing about my work is that we either have slow weeks where we are there with small stuff to do (but we still have to be in case more work arrives) or we have back to back super busy weeks even working extra hours...those are the 2 pacing types of my workplace...this time i took longer than usual to reply cause I caught 3 back to back crazy weeks where most of my free time was used to try and stay caught up with the weekly shows...so while I was able to watch 7 episodes of orb in 2 days before my last comment...i havent watch any new one ever since, in the next few days things will get chill again so im planning to be back to it.
You told me about the mc changing so I was expecting and yet was still caught off guard with the death of the first one...Rafal the blonde kid...him just killing himself like that really came out of nowhere, I guess it was either poisoning himself or be burned alive but still...he had mc aura which is clearly not the case with the second one ...Oczy the negative dude who is afraid of looking at the sky, still need to find out more about him but so far he doesnt really stand out..the monk he found, Badeni, stands out more..I guess he counts as a mc too?...but the story is definitly catchy, and I get what you said about Nowak, not Askeladd level but a similar type of villain where you cant help but like him a bit.

The official statement about Severance is:
Producer Ben Stiller has stated that the show is a "multi-season story" and that the creative team knows how it ends. While there's no official renewal for season 3, the show is expected to continue for multiple seasons....although there is no official renewal, Stiller is already working on Season 3.
So..Good news is that they seem to know how it ends already...possible bad news is that they dont seem to know how long it will last which leaves the possibility of the show start dragging itself...really hope they dont drop the ball with this one.

I watched it...and technically they have yet to properly introduce LeBlanc in the show...all this cinematics with the focus on her kind of implied that she might take center stage in the new series.

PS: Elden Ring: Nightreign is slowly approaching...IGN have been releasing many teases for all the classes and even the first boss...along with a new overview trailer:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUcLfc8uqjk however there is no mention about the option to have 2 players instead of 3...seems like you and your brother may have to find a third element after all.

I think the main reason is that piracy is a super common thing in Portugal...even some of the most popular movies like Marvel, Star Wars etc...are pirated right after hiting theathers...the same for some netflix shows...so in out theathers they only bother with movies that they are sure will make some money...add to that the fact that the people in charge of it have little to no knowledge of anime so they only search for those big hits from big franchises...plus the portuguese subtitles tend to suck...i normally watch all the movies with english subtitles because the people in charge of adding portuguese subtitles are lazy asf xD...some examples of japanese to portuguese translations: ...the translation for "Devil Fruits" in the one piece movies in portuguese is basically "evil fruits" xD ..the translation of "Super Sayan" is just "Super Warrior" which is lame...alot of times they use the word "Giants" for the "Titans" in attack on titan so the Colossal Titan is the "Tall Giant" which in portuguese just sounds stupid ..is like, they barely put some work on it.

Personally I do like Sam/Falcon so I like him as cap but I get what you mean...sometimes a side kick should just stay as a side kick.
New Daredevil episode tomorrow and there are rumours that Punisher will still have more scenes so...hoping for some brutal beatings in this last 2 episodes..in the meantime they are already filming season 2 for next year.
We talk about this before and I will still watch Last of Us...plus they tease some differences between season 2 plot and game...wouldnt be surprise if they either dont kill Joe since Pedro Pascal is one of the bigger names in the series or they change his death and he dies closer to the end in a different scene...Season 1 was good enough that it at least deserves me giving a chance to this season.

For me the best thing about this season of Re:Zero was the amount of characters involved...they managed to bring characters from all the previous arcs plus this time the villains were 4 of the archbishops of sin...the thing that I liked less was the lack of "Return by death"...happened like 2 or 3 times in the very begining in one scene and then went the all season without it...it was one of the main things from this series how Subaru dies and then uses the information gathered in those deaths to carve out the path to the better ending...this time it was just all out war with them winning almost all the fights (sins of Greed, Wrath and Lust were defeated while the Sin of Gluttony escaped)...sadly Rem is not back yet and now no one else remembers Julius either...it seems that Sin of Gluttony will end up have a arc just for him.

I never even though about him reviving the healer...I though the final solution would be to revive the Ant King and have him fly her to the nearest hospital at fast speed...the healer wasnt even an option in my mind xD..him releasing him afterwards was a really sweet moment...and those things at the end caught me completely off guard...really curious to find out more about those beings and Jinwoo´s father...Season 3 was already confirmed although not officially xD...something about how they will either change the director to release it next year or wait for the current director to be free which means delaying next season..but its definitely coming out at some point.

Naa...Negan would still win even if Glenn got a fair change...Glenn was skilled at surviving vs walkers but Negan was best fighter when it comes to human on human
So have you decided on Invincible yet? (force yourself to forget about it until next season comes out xD).

LOL so about Lazarus...I said it doesnt sound that great based on the synopsis, which is the only thing I check about new shows...I rarely look at trailers and I completely ignore studios and people working on it...plus besides you I didnt really see anyone else talking about it so it didnt sound that special (based on the very average synopsis) but I did check episode 1 and it does seems nice (still not fully convinced xD) but honestly what almost threw me off was the fact that only the english dub is available...it seems the english sub only comes out a month later for whatever reason...Dubs rarely do it for me so depending on how this one does I might drop the dub and wait a month for the english sub to come out.
EDIT - The english sub is now out...i guess it comes a week later..if thats the case then ill just wait a week for subs.
About Your Forma, first episode definitely kept me interested...more than Psycho Pass this gives me vibes of ID: Invaded.
So now I have the full list of what I will be watching this season:
My Hero Vigilantes, Wind Breaker, Your Forma, Lazarus, Fire Force (surprised to find out that this is the final season..although the cour 2 only comes out next year..thought the show would last a bit longer) and another show called Begining after the end...this show is being hated alot which made me want to watch episode 1...it seems similar to Mushoku Tensei without the mc being a perv xD...really like the opening song...maybe I will dropped it later but for now I will keep watching..this show is basically on a Hate Train with alot of people talking shit about it but so far with only one episode out cant say I understand why.

I remember Gigguk saying something about how the manga for 100 gfs somehow manage to keep all girls relevant while introducing new ones ...so I think all girls will still be relevant...about this being one of the only slice of life that we both watch, this is definitely my type...just losts of fun, no episode is boring, dont know how the author does it but I actually considered giving this a 10/10 xD.

I started watching that video but as soon I realise it was about Orb I stop watching...I save it for later for when im done with the show...which I will be starting this week...I actually download all episodes just like you xD...that way I can actually carry some with me when I go to work and watch on my laptop that I take with me to work ...been having some long periods without doing nothing in my job...I even watch some episodes of Severance during work hours (^_^) .

"...Ive been binging some live shows recently including Severance, White Lotus and Reacher. Watch any others of those? "
Only Severance...and yes im done...really glad i didnt watch this one as it was coming out, some of those cliffhangers were cruel...overall I loved the show but I have one worry that I dont know if you have...this show is an original series not based on any source material...the author talk about some things that serve as inspiration but the show is original and that makes me wonder how much of the show is already planned or how much is he coming up with on the spot...its super intriguing but somehow I got the feeling that even by the end we wont have all the answers..like the author cant even say how long this will be (he said that Season 3 wont be the last and that there will be more...which is good in a way but it does give me the feeling that he is coming up with parts of the story on the spot without having a full idea of it already prepared)...some revelations during season 2 felt too incomplete...the cast is amazing..,Dylan and Milchick are my fav characters and the mistery aspect of the show is done perfectly but the world building and the revelations sometimes felt anticlimatic at least for me...like some scenes happen just for the sake of it that overall look weird...one of the many examples: when the overtime contingency was introduced in season 1 that scene made no sense even now at the end of season 2...Dylan hide that card that he took from the other department and instead of waiting for the next day to find out where it was hidden, Milchick went that night to his house to talk to him...why couldnt he wait?, also how would he be able to take the card with him with the crazy levels of security they have?, why was he so freaked out about that card that it make him revealed to the innies something that would be so crucial for the rest of the plot? ...its like the all thing was just a pretty weak plot convenience to introduce the OTC procedure to the innies and the revelance of why he had to do it was just left behind...dont get me wrong i really enjoy the show and im sure he has some of it planned but if he is coming up with parts of the story as it goes i can see some plotholes starting to appear eventually ...its just that usually i dont like when stories are made like that and this one seems to be the case..what you think?

Choco22 Mar 28, 8:06 PM
Would you prefer Elden Ring Movie or TV Show??...movie gets better quality while TV gets more runtime...hard to choose but unless they make a series of movies, a single one would be a really rushed story...

That is weird...they could make more money if they kept the anime movies for a longer time, wonder why they dont??...over here the AOT movie will stay until the end of April...you have until there to come watch it xd
I did enjoy Brave New World...new cap doesnt have the super soldier serum but he can fly...fair trade xD...the whole Red Hulk plot was played well although I wished the trailers wouldnt spoiled it....its not better than Winter Soldier and Civil War but its still a good watch....a better watch is the marvel show that is airing right now....Daredevil Born Again...basically a direct sequel to the Daredevil netflix series but this time its officially in the MCU...for me the Daredevil series and the Punisher are some of the best marvel live action period...speaking on that the Punisher is part of the show aswell....also on the live action verse, new seasons of Andor and Last of Us are coming in a few weeks so live action will be nice for awhile.

Even with the spoilers Solo Leveling was by far the best anime of the season...we will talk about the next season in another paragraph but not having Solo Leveling and Re:Zero will suck...those 2 (along with Dr.Stone for me) were by far the best series airing.
There is one episode left and although the fighting seems to be over, I am curious how he will heal the girl...during last episode everytime they would focus on her state I was almost shouting - JUST USE THE FREAKING POTION THAT SAVE YOUR MOM...I remember that he crafted more than one dose so it seemed obvious to me how they would fix her situation, but then he finally does it and it doesnt work so now im curious...pretty sure she wont die but they dont have a healer and she is running out of time...is he about to unlock healing powers or something??
I keep hearing about some cut material from the series...hopefully then didnt cut anything to relevant...and about the fans, even with this super hype shows they always find something to complain...im convinced that in this day and age we have people that literally scroll to social media in search of something to be upset about and I guess we can find some of those people even among anime fans...
If im ever in what seems like a life or death situation I will immediately start recording..at this point im convinced that holding a camera is the best survival skill xD

Im also loving Invincible but I rather stay unspoiled...read somewhere that the comics have enough material to make up to 9 seasons so it seems there is still alot to happen...Rex dying SUCKED..of all the guardians, why him?? get rid of the freaking alien guy or even Rudy...him surviving that headshot only to die now makes me think of Glenn from walking dead surviving that scene where he dive under the garbage can only to be killed by Negan some episodes later...speaking on that I love that they brought Negan´s voice actor for Conquest..with Marc being voiced by Glenn..we had Glenn vs Negan with Glenn this time winning xD
I was sure Eve would make it since like you mention we saw future versions of some characters but I was actually thinking that they would make a cliffhanger and leave us hanging until next season....wonder what was happening with her powers in their final scene...when she took Marc´s clothes and then we saw them apparently melting...maybe she will start to lose control of her powers....

My next season is looking pretty weak..like I said before the absence of Re:Zero and S.Leveling will be a big hit..hard to fill spots;
I only have 3 shows...sequels to Wind Breaker and FForce, plus the My Hero Spinof (Vigilantes...perfect for those that dont like the school setting in My Hero Academia xD) I read the synopsis of Your Forma and Lazarus and honestly they dont sound that great..but synopsis can be misleading..I will watch both first episodes and see...Psycho Pass as inspiration is a bold move, that first season is still one of the best things I ever saw.

Maybe the last season of Danmachi will finally featured the Dragon that they keep mention...every season they mention some freaking OP dragon...about the girls, the opening spoiled that Ryu would be relevant so was not surprised but damn her scene was good..pretty sure that if one of the girls actually manages to "conquer" Bell that will be Hestia...because he is a dumbass since Ryu is clearly the best xD

My fav is still Kusuri...interesting that the latest episode had my best girl creating problems for yours with the potion to no longer be a tsundere xD..I do like all the new addictions, its amazing how each girl is so unique when compared to the others, my fav from the new ones is the baseball girl (the masochist xD)...and I freaking love the 4th wall breaks ..this is definitely one of those shows that I hope keeps receiving more seasons.

"...Getting into the details it reminded me a lot of To Your Eternity."...
Damn...say no more xD..That is still one of the best animes that came out recently (for me at least), and like you said the characters changing doesnt affect me that much so by your description it does seem like my type of show...maybe its a good thing that next season is a weak one...leaves me with more time...im finishing the Severance tv show this weekend (been marathoning it recently) after that I´ll jump to Orb .

"I am pleased to announce you are still the only person able to say they snow boarded into a bear. "
I refuse to believe that I was the only one...there´s gonna be more people with my kind of luck;

"The snow in Japan was WAY better than New Zealand."...Canada has the best snow, this coming from the guy who only saw snow in Canada ...but im sure its the best xD.

When I ask the question that was just an idea that I had at the time....but now George R R Martin is talking about it (the creator of game of thrones worked on the game helping with the lore...dont remember if either of us mentioned this before)...it seems that there are thoughts about it and honestly there is so much lore that it could be interesting...assuming that the studio who handles actually puts work into it...between live action or animated ...honestly Animated Elden Ring sounds more promising than live action...do you imagine some of those bosses in live action?? they would need a crazy amount of budget for the special effects...

No surprise that Katarina and Elise are being shipped...it seems that lesbian ships are more popular than straight ships nowadays xD...honestly its a smart idea to merge the lore of the game with the show...heard recently that the money the Arcane series made cant even be compared to the money they spend on making it...they are using the money they make with the game to make the show and they expected to get that money back by bringing more players to LOL...it wont work with people like me but I guess merging the lores can maybe help bring a few more players.

Why did the movie only stayed in theathers for 2 weeks?? is that normal over there?? over here all the movies stay in theathers for up to 2 months before being removed...speaking on that we are having the Attack on Titan movie later this month...wasnt sure they would but I guess AOT is popular enough...One Piece movies always make it here but since To Your Name is an independent movie not connected to any franchise we didnt have it (I watched it on the internet).

"So my brother preordered Elden Ring Nightreign for me while I was in Japan so that I would have to play it with him. He knows my aversion to Rogue-Lite’s so he decided to make it a present to guilt me into playing it cause I would never waste a present..."
Damn ...your brother and my gf would get along...she pulls that crap with me all the time xD ...slowly but surely im reaching the point where I start considering wasting presents xD...about Nightrein, recently some streamers got to play a early version of it and it seems that the feedback that the devs receive the most was exactly about that...they are now considering adding a 2 players only mode.

"So you will watch it when it isn’t a weird release?"
Yup...I will either watch when the all thing is out or I will wait for the episodes to start coming out regularly...and when that time comes I will have to rewatch the Fate:Strange Fake movie cause I barely remember a thing.

Solo Leveling is so freaking dope...I get your comparison with Wei, there is something so cool about Necromancers...im hyped for this last 3 episodes since everyone keeps hyping up this Jeju Island arc..at first it surprised me that he isnt joining them but I totally expect him to get there eventually..in the last episode he attached some of his shadows to some of the hunters and he now has an ability that allows him to change places with his shadows so im guessing thats how he joins...the elf girl was fun, I wonder how relevant she will be going forward since she is one of your favorites...hopefully this doesnt turn into an harem with a bunch of females joining him...that works for Danmachi but I feel like it wouldnt work here..about his shadows, while im keeping track of them I feel like my favorite its already decided...cant see another shadow taking Igris spot...maybe because he was the first but those episodes were fire..did you hear about the episode 9 dislike thing?? season 2 episode 9 was the most disliked episode on crunchyroll...still dont get it...its the episode where he healed his mother...sure there was not major action but it was basically the culmination of his arc...that was his goal all along, were people expecting her to die and got disapointed??..sometimes I dont get anime fans.
EDIT - Damn last episode was sick...for a moment there thought that the blonde girl was dying...everyone hypes her so much that it would be a shock..the healer dying was sad...also Solo Leveling fans need to chill with the spoilers...everyone online is calling the Ant King by the name of Beru ..pretty sure that would be his shadow name eventually which in itself is a spoiler...sure I could guess that mc eventually kills it but there was also the possibility that it survives and escapes somehow...
Another Edit - Forgot to add this...I loved how this last episode literally had a "camera man never dies" moment...the hunter using camouflage loses his head meanwhile camera guy was just chilling in the corner the entire time xD

Im enjoying Sakamoto Days ..it does have similar vibes to Spy X Family...fun episodes, dont really get bored but its not one that im super hype when a new episode is out...its not like Solo Leveling or Re:Zero (my favs currently airing)..if it gets a sequel I will watch it so its not a drop either..

About Castlevania Nocturne ...dont know if you know but it ended with S2..personally that surprised me since I was expecting it to get more seasons...for me it was better that season 1, last 2 episodes are all out fighting and honestly for me it surpasses even the fight between Trevor and Death from the previous series and I heard similar things from other watchers so im curious to your eventual thoughts on those fights..dont know anything about the Castlevania games so I wonder if there will be more content...there was some foreshadowing for what might be a future villain...are you familiar with Castlevania lore?? (dont remember if we talk about the games before).

Edit - Saw that you are watching Orb: On the Movements of the Earth...do you recommend?? keep seeing people talking about it so I was considering giving it a try ...you liking it?
Choco22 Feb 16, 9:22 AM
No prob...have fun...and beware of bears while snowboarding xD
Choco22 Jan 16, 6:42 PM
Your talk about the Elden Ring lore makes me think that at some point some studio will try do to live action Elden Ring...since game into live action adaptations arent always the best (Halo, Resident Evil etc...) it could be a disaster but there were others like Last of Us that show that there is some hope in that area...would you be hype if Live Action Elden Ring was announced??

The Welcome to Noxus Cinematic is sick but it got me a bit confused when I first watched it...I was like, "is this a teaser for an Arcane sequel? or the seasonal animated video that they do every year?" since not only we follow Mel but the Piltover events are mentioned by LeBlanc ...and dialogue wasnt really a think in previous animated video but the title clearly says "Season of 2025" so...I guess it works as both...
Im not surprised that Mel will be the focus...this is a shared universe so even when they are doing spinoffs they need to make it obvious for average viewers that is the same especially since Arcane is probably not gonna be the title for the sequel...so having Mel will help and I can see them using Ezreal too with the character mentioning that he is from Piltover so that average viewers can make the connection...also since they used Noxus characters in Arcane so that they could jump to that region in the sequel they might do the same and have characters from other regions (maybe that Kai’sai) and already start teasing which region they will do after Noxus.
From the new characters the one who got my attention in the video was the red haired assassin (Katarina I believe) ...I gotta say I liked every thing about her xD..the spider assassin looks cool too but I was never into human-spider hybrids xD.

Dont get me wrong..the ending place sucked but overall Dandadan was without a doubt one of the best shows of the year...Frieren still aired in 2024 and I loved the last arc of Season 1 so Frieren is still my fave of the year...but Dandadan gets a comfortable number 2 spot.

Gotcha...since its cannon I definitely need to find a way to watch the Chainsaw movie when it comes out...worst case scenario I´ll pirate it since its definitely not coming to Portugal.
"...What I do find interesting is your use of rarely….. what does make it to your cinema? Only like the MAJOR ones like Your Name? Do you recon the Attack on Titan Final movie will make it? That’s how I intend to watch it. "
Its worst than that...Your Name was never in our theathers...when it comes to animation the only things that make it into our cinema are Disney Stuff or really big franchises like One Piece, Pokemon, Dragon Ball etc....the Jujutsu Kaisen movie didnt make it...Demon Slayer Mugen Train made it a few months late...woudnt be surprise if Attack on Titan also doesnt make it....when it comes to Portuguese theathers you can find all the live action stuff but animated movies are rare and most of the times they come to us later than in other places.

"...My least favourite genre of game is a rogue-like. Which if you don’t know is the type of game where you start from the start anytime you die. Which is what Nightreign is sounding like. So that is a little concerning but I would love to believe in Elden Ring and Fromsoftware. "
I do know the type and I think thats definitely what this game will be....nothing even near the level of the main game but it can be fun to play some rounds especially since although you can play solo the video explaining it put some focus on multiplayer..that is to me the main attraction, playing it with friends all starting from 0 in each round and each gathering their own gear and weapons as the game progresses...can see this becoming popular if those big streamers start playing rounds together...and I happen to have 2 friends that also loved E.Ring so the 3 of us will probably have some fun playing this...but again, it wont even get close to the greatness of the main game.

Since Christmas in Portugal is always with terrible weather my enjoyment of it is resumed to the actual Christmas eve and the next day...still it could be worst ...working during the holidays in Portugal gives you a money boost too which is always welcomed xD.

The thing about Fate/strange Fake is that...its not airing...I know that episode 1 is out (along with that special/episode 0 that came out before it) but there is no release date for the rest...some people are already wondering if this will be released like an OVA with months in between episodes...I cant watch a Fate series like that since I know I would forget alot of stuff from one episode to the other so I will wait for either more episodes to be out or for it to eventually start to actually aired on a weekly basis.
Watched the first 2 episodes of Sakamoto Days and..it looks fun...what exactly dont you like about it?
Solo Leveling and Dr.Stone will probably be my faves this season...thanks to shows like Castlevania and Mo Dao Zu Shi I now have a thing for series with necromancers so I will definitely enjoy the hell out of Solo Leveling...speaking on Castlevania ..new season just got out...will probably watch it during this weekend.

Choco22 Jan 4, 6:23 PM
Yes the Troll was added to make Helm look even more badass...in that universe not everyone can go toe to toe with a freaking Troll xD...the name Godfrey was familiar but at first wasnt remembering from where...I know bits about Elden Ring lore, reached a point where there is to much lore from many franchises on my brain so sometimes I mixed things...need to update my memory drive xD....still hope they give another try to more animated projects...there is alot of lore from this universe that didnt make it to any movies or tv series and would look great in animation format.

I think Jynx escaped and she is the one leaving town in that aircraft at the end...but dont think we will see her again anytime soon and instead the next projects will focused entirely on whoever new characters we will be meeting....just googled Ezreal and Lux and I remember them both from the Warriors video..the one where Vi and Cait appear...they both look sick in that video...I like the moment where he is at first running and leaving behind the other girl who came to help him but then changes his mind and makes a bow and shoots some of the creatures attacking her...that was one of the coolest moments in that video...with his design alone I can see why he is a fan favourite...also speaking on those videos..the next one is probably coming out soon....binged watched all of them last year when you first send me the link to one and now Im actually hyped to finally see one as its coming out...

"... Just a very odd place to stop..." Yes thats an annoying trend in animes and live actions recently...both Dandadan and Squid Game had cliff hanger endings..pretty annoying but im still hyped for their sequels...so the Chainsaw Man movie will be canon? damn still remember when anime movies were never canonical...I will watch it as soon as it makes the internet...in Portugal anime movies rarely make it to theaters.

"...I am actually considering rewatching HxH very soon..." Saw that you started it already xD...I rewatched some arcs before but never the all thing...and yes stick with the anime only....as sad as it sounds I can see HXH suffering the same fate as Berserk where the author passes away before finishing it and then maybe some editor will carry on the project.

I dont play that many games so I never really pay attention to the whole show..just look on youtube for the trailers and clicked on the titles that I care about like Resident Evil or Marvel stuff...and Witcher and Elden Ring were also the only ones I cared about...this Elden Ring is definitely wont be on the same level but the concept still seems fun.
Game wise this are the ones I care about for this year -> Elden Ring: Nightreign, Pokémon Legends: Z-A, GTA 6, Dying Light: The Beast and there are rumours about Resident Evil 9...so far havent heard about any others that I find interesting.

I also mostly worked during the holidays...have a fews days now until Jan 10 but its so cold outside that I rarely leave the house.

About this Winter Season the only animes I have my eye on are:
Solo Leveling, Dr.Stone, new season of the guy with the 100 girlfriends and there are 2 or 3 others that I will give a try but dont sound nothing special...one of them is Sakamoto Days...it has that kind of synopsis that can either be something cool or something average...whats on your radar?




Choco22 Dec 19, 2024 5:07 PM
I did watch the movie...and it was a good idea for you to to watch it before checking reviews because alot of people are bombing this movie...its really hard to please the fans this days...its either a 10/10 banger or they shit on it...some complains about the animation and voice acting, others about how they not respecting Tolkien by having badass female characters...when Lord of the Rings was writen it was a time were female characters were mostly used as lovers or damsels in distress which is why there isnt any on the fellowship and some people say that they should follow Tolkien´s will instead of using "the wokeness" of this day an age...however as some other people pointed out not only times are different but even Tolkien explore that side a bit with characters like Galadriel being all powerfull and Eowyn defeating the freaking Witch King who was the most powerfull Nazgul (I was going to mention Arwen badass scene escaping all the Nazgul while carrying Frodo but that was only in the movies...in the books its a male elf that takes Frodo)....personally I also enjoyed it....Helm was indeed a badass and I also had a good laugh when that moron was one punched ...about the lack of more creatures, the main point of this movie was to show the origin of "Helms Depp" and that was basically a medieval fight between man so...and even then they did make some additions...the Elephants and the Eagles are part of the lore but the Troll and the Octopus were additions...overall good movie and I wouldnt mind if they use animated movies to explore more shorts stories about this world...although giving the reception this movie is getting this may be a one time thing.

I see theories about Jynx all over the place...some people even point out how that she is the one riding that aircraft at the very end....pretty sure that if they want they can explain her, Warwick, Jayce and Viktor all still being alive.
"Then Viktor became the common enemy to unite the nations like Code Geass and Attack on Titan. "
Its not the same...Viktor actually plan to go through with his plan before Jayce showed him the future...Lelouch did want to united everyone...Eren was a mixed of both (have you watch the ending yet??)
Apparently before episode 6 some people though that Isha was going to become Zeri...it really feels like a waste to not use her character...wonder if they will find a way to include the champions from Piltover and Zaun that they didnt use in future shows...maybe with some twist to their backstories..
Damn....Leblanc looks nice on that pic...cant wait to see more of her xD.

God Damn, this animes are all ending in the middle of stuff...first Re:Zero now Dandadan...at least a sequel is already confirmed for Summer of next year.

"I don’t think One Piece will be bad hated on. I only ever see positive things about one Piece online and I don’t see the fan base turning on it. Same with Berserk..."
As someone who is part of the One Piece fandom for more than a decade I cant have your optimism...the theory crafting and predictions about this show always leave alot of people mad...the Wano arc was hyped for years before it started and now that it ended there is a huge list of complaints from people...from wasted characters, to missed oppurtunities or just because their own predictions that they spend years making didnt come true...when the freaking One Piece is revealed the internet will explode and a bunch of people will definitely be raging because it wont live up to their hype...im sure the average fan like me will still appreciate whatever Oda decides to do but anime and manga fans this days are more and more harder to please and seem ready to always complain about something....like you said we will see in the distant future but I will be super surprised if I dont see alot of rage and bullshit everywhere when the time comes.

"Its like Hunter x Hunter. I love that anime and want to know how it ends, but since the manga isn’t finished either well what is the point if I am gonna be stuck again. "
Seriously doubt we will ever see the ending of this one unfortunately...the manga moves at a very slow pace and with all the hiatus I dont even see an ending to the current arc....also the anime is way better then the manga for this one so you made the right choice xD...I actually had headaches reading some chapters...sometimes there is so much dialogue in a single panel that the letters are small to fit everything and very often we have entire pages like this...Togashi never really master the art of giving alot of information in only a few words like other mangakas do...he always goes above and beyonde with explanations and that can be a frustrating read.

"I didn’t know about the King’s Avatar adaptation. Are you gonna watch it?"
It has to many episodes so I probably wont...unless I heard you say some really great things about it but apparently that wont be the case xD.

Game news:
Did you see the teaser for Witcher 4?? apparently its a sequel to the best ending of W3 where Ciri becomes a Witcher...teaser looked dope.
Here if you didnt watch it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yWMu6JeT2g8&t=2s
And Elden Ring is having a new game next year..its not really a sequel, its more of a standalone co op game...thoughts?
Here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YIkgOUKTAn8

This will probably be my last comment this year so ....Happy Holidays...Happy Christmas...Happy New Year and Happy Squid game Season 2 (comes out on December 26th xD).
Choco22 Nov 26, 2024 11:44 AM


I was definitely not expecting that emotional episode of Dandadan...about the girl, honestly she is still pretty annoying to me...didnt really laugh during her scenes thinking that Ayase was a demon...Turbo Granny is definitely my fav character so far...and those damn aliens with their "banana" obcession...this show is basically -> Fever Dream the Animation xD.

I did hear about Oshi no Ko and..... im not surprised...I reach a point where i will be really surprise if the internet likes an ending...I mean how many times it happens in recent years to see people trash talking an ending:
From Naruto and Bleach to shows like Fairy Tail, Food Wars, Haikyuu, Dr.Stone, Demon Slayer, Attack on Titan, Promised Neverland (this one deserved it xD)...few weeks ago both My Hero Academia and Jujutsu Kaisen mangas ended and personally I enjoy both but as always the internet cant handle there massive expectations and the hype train turns into a hate train....unfortunately I have no doubt that even the King of mangas (One Piece) will suffer a similar situation because the hype is just insane...I will continue an anime only but wouldnt be surprise if I still end up enjoying the Oshi no Ko ending.

DAMN...Missed the Re:Zero news so I was caught of guard when last episode ended and now we have to wait until freaking February for part 2..first One Piece now this...
"...I don’t even remember how Gluttony is related to Rem’s condition. I thought Rem was like this because of the White Whale. Clearly I need to watch season 1 again. "
After defeating the White Whale they split into 2 groups...Subaru, the old man and Julius went to face Sloth while Rem went with the other group that included
Crusch..they were attacked by Gluttony who stole Crusch´s memories along with Rem´s entire existence...which is why I think/hope that defeating him might revert both of them back to normal.

You would definitely enjoy binging the OP manga until you´re caught up....but I undertand your reasoning (although the anime is on break now so....xD).

"...Its amazing that Danmachi has managed to improve over the seasons instead of fizzling out like a lot of series do. ..."
I know...it just seems that it shouldnt work, it should fail like many other harem shows did but damn this one works...somehow each arc is still entertaining, new characters are still fun, big props for the creator....Ryu appears in the opening fighting them with Bell so not brainwashing her will come back to bite Freya in her sexy ass.
i did watch the Bleach movies but I barely remember them...just realise that the "world forgets" plot was also used at the end of the recent Spider Man movie with the world forgeting about Peter Parker...guess it is used more than I thought.

"How is Boruto doing btw? I know the anime had insane amount of filler at the start when I dropped it. But how are you finding the non filler content since it has been out for a while now."
The Boruto Manga was never a problem...the story does keep getting better and Kishimoto is even adressing and fixing some plotholes from Naruto...the problem was the fillers in the anime but the anime has been on hiatus for awhile...and I hope it stays like that until they conclude the manga so that they dont need to do fillers again.

Also, different topic...did you knew about this:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_King%27s_Avatar_(2019_TV_series)
Kings Avatar has a live action series that apparently (according to this page) was well received...41 episodes its insane...really like the anime but somehow never heard of this...did you?
Choco22 Nov 13, 2024 1:45 PM
So, about Ar Freaking Cane...damn where to start:

Opening is still the same song which is dope...really like it, music in general is still awesome, my favorite of the new theme songs so far is "To Ashes and Blood" that plays out on episode 3.
Jynx is still the most entertaining part...she has this little kid that looks up to her which is an interesting development and she is teaming up with Sevika, cool combo..their fight scene on episode 2 vs those thugs was freaking good, that gacha arm was funny and dope at the same time xD.
Vi finally became an Enforcer and even Cait changed her outfit...they now have the designs that they had on that "Warriors" video (one of the ones that you send me a link to previously)...also Cait remind me of Jill Valentine with that hat...her Mom died in the explosion which honestly was expected.
Viktor was hurt and that led him to become even less human when the Hextech...saved him?? dude looks like he is becoming the new messiah in that final scene with the folks from the undercity.
Final scene with Jayce, Ekko and the short dude (keep forgeting his name) was insane...I know that Ekko has time manipulation powers in the game, I wonder if what happened to them will be how he gets those powers.
No idea what that scientist dude is doing in the final scenes of each episode...is he creating a beast?? he target those wolves and then there was an heart...whatever he is doing looks freaky.
Mel was "kidnapped" by...the Black Rose?? thats either a character nickname or an organization that has issues with her mom and apparently killed her brother.
Also since I dont play the game I have no idea if any of the new characters are supposed to be a champion or not....will the little kid that follows Jynx became one? (kinda like how Jynx herself started season 1 as a child)...are any of the new Enforcers a champion?..there´s Maddie, her silent friend and the drunk old dude...is Black Rose a character??...by the time you reply the next 3 episodes will probably be out...feel free to mentioned them in your reply, I will be watching them as soon as they came out.

Definitely be doing that from now on (writing the comment on Word first...its really frustrating to lose the entire comment like that).

Im a bit confuse...is Stellar Blade a separated game from Nier? you said "it just had a trailer drop for DLC with Nier Automata"..."with"? so its like a Crossover between diferent games?.
I will definitely be adding Dark Souls 3 to my to play list, its the Souls Game that I see most people talking about after Elden Ring...Im also thinking of playing more runs of Elden Ring trying out different classes.

I clicked in that link and honestly I dont remember that head appearing in the anime xD...interesting that they added characters from other games...its one of those things where players will appreciate while newbies like me dont even register it xD

I heard Luffy right away but Im only now realising that Zoro voiced the alien...though it sounded familiar but couldnt tell from where.
" But yeah, the whole point of this series is getting Okarun’s testicles back ^.^ Stupid fun that can get pretty deep when you don’t expect it too."
That will be the whole plot?? was expecting them to eventually move on to other plotlines...damn what a goal to have:
Luffy - I want to be the King of Pirates
Naruto - I will become Hokage
Okarun - I will get my BALLS back....honestly most relatable goal xD.

"Have you dropped Blue Lock S2? That is one Ive been hearing the animation is as bad as Uzumaki..."
I wouldnt put them on the same level...although even Gigguk made a joke about it in his Fall video xD...in normal scenes the animation is good but when it comes to the sport (the main thing) the quality is a big dowgrade compared to Season 1...some times the characters are frozen in a running position with the camera moving for them xD.

"One thing that gets me though in these time loop anime is when they give up on a promising strategy...What is stopping him calling Reinhard again and just saying don’t kill her? Was there a reason he couldn’t do that. .."
I get what you mean in these scenes...instead of trying the same thing but this time slightly different he moves on to another strategy...the main reason for it is plot convenience xD...Im ok with Garfield...he is a good fighter and has some funny scenes sometimes, although I do hope that his family plot doesnt go on for long...Seriously doubt Echidna will appear, as for Rem I could see it....Gluttony is present and if they defeat him she will wake up I think...maybe he will be one of the first to fall and by the end of the season she appears in the city to help them....odds are low but my hopes are high xD.

Your question about Grimmjow and Nel was answered in the last episode...here and there we are seeing some differences already, the way Ishida shoot down Ichigo played out differently in the anime...really hyped for some of the upcoming fights and especially for the ending...wonder how much Kubo will add to make the ending more ....meaningful.

"Screw the new generation, old men in shounen are bad ass. "
Honestly agreed...but most animes do this trope ..the pass the torch to the next gen thing so it wasnt really a surprise....Im still expecting Rayleigh to die at some point since he is the "master/teacher" for the mc...another trope...im still surprised that you´re a big One Piece fan and yet you decided to stay anime only while on a bunch of other shows you´re reading the manga...the anime OP is great and the animation has improved in the last years but the pacing still has some issues.

Ais is still one of the main girls in Danmachi...even in the latest episode Hestia mentions how she is Bell´s motivation to get stronger....Bell´s arc is actually interesting in this season....everyone´s memories changed and even he is starting to doubt them...its similar to whats happening with Boruto right now in the manga....Naruto was sealed away in another dimension and the character who did it delete everyone´s memories of Boruto being his son and accused him of killing him so now the ninja world is hunting Boruto for being the Hokage´s killer...surprised that more shows dont use this kind of plot.

Yup thats another example I could have given...activities instead of tourist spots....me visiting other countries is more about those specific things rather then seeing the country itself or learning about its culture..and in that regard New Zealand is really the only one in my plan to visit for now....although with time Im constantly finding new spots or activieties that I want to try or visit...for example, my eventual second trip to Japan already has a few new spots that I wanna visit.

" I love rain all the time except when driving. And I don’t even hate driving in the rain, I hate everyone elses driving in the rain and I have no patience for getting stuck in traffic xD Playing basketball in my drive way during a storm is one of my goofy little pleasures in life. "

Dont mind driving in the rain if I have the entire road to myself..otherwise its like you said...other people are the problem xD...your basketball example remind me that as a child (and even as teenager) I used to love playing football and volley with the other kids while it was raining....I guess as an adult I grew out of it xD.

Elden Ring was my first time playing an entire Souls Game and I defnitely enjoyed it...Now Im looking at other Soul Games and looking for similar experiences...any recommendation??
A friend of mine recommend me one that he used to play alot but the moment he said "..its not as good as Elden Ring.."...I immediately lost interest...Im looking for either better or at least on the same level.

Thanks for the explanation...the anime definitely could have made some things more clear...but overall the entire show was very enjoyable....there are more nier games right?? are they like continuations?? could the anime have a sequel?...its hard to imagine a proper continuation after this ending...

You should give Agatha a try...its definitely a breath of fresh air when it comes to Marvel shows.

Dandadan was definitely a pleasant surprise...Okarun´s personality change when he is "possessed/combine/whatever" with the Turbo Granny is dope...love how he adds "yo" to his sentences...hopefully that version of the character will stick around....also, why is the grandmother so hot?? she is a grandmother...they are not supposed to be hot xD.
Uzumaki just ended....what you though of it?...alot of the internet is bitching about it...from the animation drop after episode 1 to the skipped content...Honestly if I wasnt told that some content was skipped I wouldnt guess, the story is just so "out of nowhere" that everything just works...as for the animation issue, while it was noticeable it didnt really bother me that much.
So far dont really have any sleeper hits...dropped a few shows already...if youre a Dragon Ball fan I recomend Dragon Ball Daima...aside from Dandadan and Uzumaki everything else Im watching is sequels or sports shows (which I know isnt really your thing).

Im glad the first episode of Re:Zero was long...all of that setup had to be released together otherwise first 2/3 episodes would be a bit boring like you describe...but all of that was necessary setup...there´s alot of characters in that city: Garfield´s family, the other royal candidates and their knights, many archbishops and apparently the body of Satella is buried there??...this will be an interesting arc.

One of the good things about Bleach is precisely the new content that is being added by Kubo...everything you said about Squad 0 is correct...in the manga at least..now we´ll see how much is changed...really hope that certains characters are given more to do...

"Btw One Piece has been awesome. These episodes since the animation upgrade have been so good. .."
They heard you celebrate so they went on hiatus xD....main anime wont come back until next April...until there they will be airing a remake of Fishman Island with better quality and better pacing....about Garp and Koby...it really is the whole new generation thing...Koby is literally following his footsteps:
Garp had a close relationship with Roger who became King of the Pirates....Koby has a close relationship with Luffy
Garp was called the Hero after the God Valley incident...Koby was called the Hero after the Rocky Port incident;
Garp was called the Fist after the incident with Don Chinjao...Koby is probably going in the same direction after this incident where he punched that giant hand to save everyone.
Garp is alive...for now at least...in the manga the crew just arrived on the next island...we´re finally in Elbaf the Land of the Giants....and now the manga is on break for 3 weeks xD.

Always enjoy Danmachi but I think it will be hard to beat the previous arc...also after that arc Ryu become my favorite girl but they keep increasing his harem with a new girl every arc BUT they wont change my opinion....RYU IS BEST GIRL!!!!

PS: My keyboard has been playing tricks on me...accidentally deleted this comment twice..the second time at the very end of my reply...if you´re wondering why some paragraphs are so short, thats why...some of them had more content on them originally but .... I forgot most of it xD.

The thing about Rings of Power is that if you are a Tolkien Fanatic its understandable that you will be pissed...its like me with Resident Evil, always pissed when they change something since I wanted them to adapt the games properly...Rings of Power adapts the Second Age of that universe (Hobbit and Lord of the Rings is the Third Age) and in order to fit everything into their planned 5 seasons they compress the hell out of it...some things are happening out of order and slightly different and they even took some creative liberties like bringing the Balrog and Gandalf who arent really active during this time period but since they are really big characters they gave them roles in this..I love this universe and I know alot about the books but im ok with some changes so I can still enjoy it...the actor who plays Sauron does a great job and he is pretty much the mc which is quite nice...wish more shows had the villain as the main character.

"But first I should hurry up and go somewhere else you want to go before you. Is South Korea on your radar? I am considering going there next year ^.^ "
You bastard xD...honestly not really interested in South Korea...outside of New Zealand there isnt really other country that I want to visit...but there are places in other countries that I want to visit...its kinda weird really, its like ..I want to see the Wall of China and the Pyramids of Egypt...but im not really interested in visiting those countries aside from those places xD...do you have some place like that?? (you want to visit the place but dont care at all about the country).

"...Sport in the rain is great for instance :D "
Dont really agree with this one...maybe if im just running but even then I feel like the rain will ruin it....besides the more wet I get the worse it is to enjoy the sport unless its something related to water where you´re supposed to get wet...but for example playing any ball sport on land, hiking or any "woods" related activities will suck if its raining ...maybe if its just a bit and then stops its ok but if its a full blown raining day then my plans are doomed...dont mind getting dirty by falling or something like that..Im even ok with mud places to some degree but rain affects my mood...I love rain when im at home xD.

"...Sport is only fun when I am the one physically playing it >.<"
Well...we we´re talking about Quidditch...while Im loving the game I would hate to play the actual quidditch...being seated on a broom??...no thanks xD...would you play the real Quidditch if you had a chance??...pretty sure I would try but I would prefer if I could fly without sitting on a piece of wood >.<

What classes did you try in Elden Ring??
I finish the og game with Samurai (tried a bunch of different swords) but then before the DLC I made a new run as Bandit and I play the DLC with it too.

I definitely need to play Nier...for the science xD..and it does sound like a fun game.
"The girls in red AI that remind me of the red queen from the first RE movie were also a lot more confusing in the anime. Did you understand there purpose?"
They also remind me of the red queen xD...and no I didnt...were they the ones who hacked into their main frame or whatever and caused the virus to spread?? they seemed to be antagonistic but their true purpose was lost on me...the ending was pretty weak...the "villains" just left into space or whatever...what will 9S do now?..is 2B really back?...overall I liked the series but the ending felt a bit anticlimatic.

Im surprised by how much im enjoying Agatha...while I liked the character in Wandavision I wasnt really hyped for a series focused on her but it doesnt even feel like a marvel show...they are doing a Halloween themed show with focus on the witch trials and the combination of comedy moments with mistery is quite fun....apparently some people that dont really watch marvel stuff or are not caught up with it are watching and enjoying it too xD...Agatha´s moments in WandaVision are mentioned and Scarlet Witch is mentioned alot but aside from that it almost feels like its own thing.

About Umbrella Academy...Ben´s plot in the final season was really dumb...as for the characters, Five was my favorite in the first 3 seasons and I freaking hate what they did to him in the final season...also that ending...not a fan..really feels like they rushed the plot just to end it which sucks because the first 2 seasons were legit good stuff...Ghost Ben was the best Ben xD.

About the Fall Season:
Obvious Sequels for me are - Bleach, Blue Lock, Re:Zero, Danmachi and Tower of God
Not sequel but more of a alternative version - Dragon Ball Daima..the last project that Akira Toriyama worked in...im curious to see this version of DB
New shows: Dandadan (Show is so hyped that I had to give it a try....first episode was crazy but the good kind of crazy)..Blue Box (sport series mixed with some romance..2 episodes out and it seems fun so far)...Uzumaki (WHAT THE HELL IS THIS SHOW??...the author has a crazy fascination with spirals and decided to make a show about it and damn...it worked xD...sucks that its only 4 episodes...the black and white really fits the mood of this show... with colours it wouldnt be as good).
Besides Blue Box there are a few others shows that im giving a try but I might still drop them depending on their progress...an isekai called "The Healer Who Was Banished From His Party, Is, in Fact, the Strongest"...there´s another short series called Lockdown Zone: Lv. X..another horror show...weird one but its only 8 episodes and they are short so I already decided that I will watch the all thing (4 out of 8 episodes are already out) and im still waiting for one that starts in November called Murder Mystery of the Dead... its Mistery, Suspense and Supernatural, zombie pandemic and the plot will revolve around a character dying and the killer being someone from the group:
https://myanimelist.net/anime/59892/Murder_Mystery_of_the_Dead
the synopsis seems good...its either gonna be a hidden gem or another show with good synopsis and bad execution.

If it was Isengard then it was the Tpwer of Orthanc...the tower with the Eye of Sauron is Barad-dur in Mordor...now that Rings of Power season 2 is airing im hooked on the Middle Earth again xD...if I ever go (when I´ll go) I definitely plan on visiting some of the places ...it wont be just that, but that will definitely be on the travel plans.

In the Bear´s defense, my screams can be quite insane xD...age 32 and my lungs are still going strong xDxD.

Camping was great...fortunately the weather was fine (its not always the case when I go camping) we also did some water sports, besides that it was hiking and some ball games...we all like volleyball so we normally make teams and play for quite awhile....been away from society is always the best part thou xD.

I finished Outlaws....if you ever felt like playing Far Cry but in the Star Wars universe...with lots of stealth missions, picking sides between different factions and having to use your pet partner in many ways then this is your game xD...it was OK...the fact that its cannon adds some fun since you can interact with characters like Lando and Jabba...you can visit the place where Han Solo is frozen and see him there and obviously Vader makes an appearance by the end (we dont fight him here...good thing since our style is more stealth takedows...it would be fun to try to do that on Vader xD)....it wasnt bad but I didnt do much besides main mission...I was mostly curious about the story...

Heard about both Black Myth Wukong and Space Marines 2 but not planning on playing either...more than Outlaws I have being spending way more time playing Harry Potter: Quidditch Champions....dont know if you are aware but they change some things about the Quidditch game to make it more fun as game and damn.. it worked...you can also play online...it gives Rocket League vibes to be honest..Im having a blast so far
Pretty much same about Elden Ring...I also play with my self impose rules one of them is also not using Summons vs Bosses (although the way I do it is that I can only use them if it takes me more than 20 tries to defeat the Boss...so I did used them a few times xD)..Rellana was definitely a nightmare...think it took me almost 60 tries to beat her...btw my favorite weapons were the claws and the Bow (Beast Claw and Ansbach's Longbow) one is perfect for close range, the other is good for long range.

Whoever came up with the outfits for 2B and A2 knew what they were doing xD..my gf and I do some cosplay sometimes...next con we go we are planning on going as 2B and 9S...still prefer 2B over A2 although the anime is trying to make me change my mind...now im actually curious to see how the anime will end...9S is so obcessed with vengeance that its hard to imagine a happy ending.

That its true...it seems that everything has Multiverse now...the lack of creativity is showing.

Think i saw some clips of that alien show...by your description it was probably it...not really planning on adding more anime now...Fall season already seems to have quite a few that I will be watching so im saving myself for those.

Live action right now is just Rings of Power Season 2 ...there is another Marvel show coming soon (Agatha the Harkness)...besides that for the rest of the year the ones im waiting are Arcane Season 2 and Dune: Prophecy in November and Squid Game Season 2 in December....did you watch Umbrella Academy? ...dont remember if we talk about this one before...if you do, Season 4/Final Season came out recently, maybe you missed it...got a feeling you talk about this show at some point.
