Jaadugar doesn't pull the punches, I liked it a lot. Let's see if the story keeps growing, the setting is extremely interesting.
The unmitigated temerity of them. Showing that little girl's hair and face so brazenly. Tempting every man in Mohammed's army.

Sayonara Lara has begun and it's first episode is a recap of the original tale, albeit with some adjustments to make the "Little Mermaid, Japan :biggrin:" thing work. The animation and music is stellar, far beyond what most stuff I've seen recently can do. Ends in a very silly way with some stuff that teases mysteries later down the line. Will watch religiously
 
Basic plot. Guy gets isekaied and because he has the weakest skill (skill copy) he gets thrown in the slave coliseum. However, he's actually The Spiffing Brit and exploits the mechanics to win.
It will never cease to amaze that orientals will expect you to seriously believe that anyone would think that something as blatantly cracked as a skill copy ability would be underpowered.
 
I binge-watched Frieren while AFK recently. Like most latecomers, I imagine, I spent the whole time expecting Aura to come back and that Frieren would actually keep her head as a trophy, because that "fight" couldn't possibly be it.

I was halfway through season 2 before I accepted she wasn't coming back.

I wasn't sure what to make of Season 2's opening at first, but it really grew on me. The match cut of Frieren walking toward her party and suddenly the last shot has a big gap where Himmel used to be isn't supposed to be funny, but it cracks me up every time :story:

the cold-ass "kill yourself" cracks me up every time lmao
 
I just got this recommended on YouTube and fuck, this can go so right if done correctly. If there's anyone that can do a sad dreadfully story it's Yoko Taro. And Keiichi doing the music - chefs kiss
Yea, Okabe on the OST is already a good sign. Tsurumaki has also been working on Evangelion since the start and his most recent work with GQuux was pretty good, even if I really don't like the GQuux itself.
Slightly unrelated, but I find it extraordinarily amusing how much Evangelion ends up in collaborations with other stuff despite the nature of the series itself. You see it in gacha games, on all kinds of merchandise, and even FFXIV is getting an alliance raid series in the next expansion. Though FFXIV also has a collaboration with Nier, but that one makes more sense since Yoko Taro is a whore who is happy to lend out the series as long as you pay him. I've always wondered how much Anno has a say on the collabs. He's still the head of Khara, and Khara owns the IP, but he never seemed like the type of guy who goes for that kinda thing.

I think the idea is that it's pathetic because it's not your own power, but something you're taking from someone else and you're not going to be as good at it as the guy you're copying. Like if you copy someone's ability to set your hands on fire and throw fireballs, you're not going to be nearly as good at chucking fireballs as the guy you copied. If you're a guy that has a lot of time to practice with acquired skills between fights, it's a lot better. "Jack of all trades, master of nothing" and all that.

Such a great show. Would watch again.

Not necessarily.
  • He could combine skills for more power, for example if he also copies a "perfect aim" skill that would let him throw fireballs better then the original skill holder.
  • He could understand the skill better then the skill wielder, for example the original skill holder could be unimaginative and not realise what his skill can do, or the skill copyier could automatically get a rundown of the skill and learn something the original didn't know

In the story they kind of explain it. They say that skill copy gives you the skill at rank 1 (out of 5). It also says because you're not experienced with using a copied skill, you're not going to make up that difference in the course of a single fight. I don't know if the rank and expertise are the same thing, but the story implies they're different.

Though it hasn't explained if there's a limit or cooldown on the skills he can copy? Maybe that will come up later. It also doesn't explain why supposed masters of their skills don't know these tricks and exploits.

The set up for volume 2 is his next fight is against a character that has nothing but passive buffs so there's nothing to exploit, which is a good hook, but I fully expect some bullshit.
