Sometimes you watch an anime and are inspired.

Sometimes it's to do something like travel, which just so happens to be the topic of my video!

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt was an era-defining anime, being the last truly great anime from Studio Gainax. However, with Trigger and many of those who worked on the original now 15 years ago, I felt compelled to create a video sharing my thoughts on why it needed a follow-up.

Not a show that needed another season.

BUT

The world of Cyberpunk is so vast thanks to its roots in TRRPG assuming we’re with new characters exploring different topics, im all for it!
💥Cyberpunk: Edgerunners 2 is in production! 💥

It presents a new standalone 10-episode story from the world of Cyberpunk 2077— a raw chronicle of redemption and revenge.

❓When the world is blinded by spectacle, what extremes do you have to go to make your story matter? 👀

We've seen several creators evolve into making artistic works.

Gigguk is perhaps the perfect creator to set the groundwork within anime creation. I must imagine that this has been in the works for years.

Using บ้าน or bâan to connect to his roots is heartwarming ❤️

I'm in love with this Spring 2025 anime season, but I keep seeing gems of each season overlooked in content, so I'm here to fix that!!

What I love about this is that Isekai isn't really a genre. It's a narrative device that pushes storytellers to highlight countless ideas that, not all, are made the same, but this list has some fantastic picks!
We asked our editorial team to pick their favorite isekai anime. Here are our picks for newcomers to the genre or seasoned travelers looking for something different.

I watched a bunch of #anime in 2024, to the point I made a list of the overlooked/underrated shows that didn't go mega big!

Hey I tried, I really tried, like 30 hours of my life tried to get into Zenless Zone Zero, but man, it's just gacha with a persona skin with alright combat.

Yeah I’m not a massive fan of this sort of this, we’ve all seen people tilt, not even saying wild stuff, could get them banned. Just feel a bit overreaching.

I also wonder, how will this be monitored?
Riot has updated its policies towards content creators who play their games.

If you now say something hateful on stream, promote boosting or stream snipe another player’s game, you can be banned. This will take effect on the 3rd of January.

I've been asking pros and other casters about this for YEARS!!

This will do massive amounts for pro play and teams that utilise the tool, but also for upcoming players or those who want to improve their play. This tool will help keep LOL esports around for years to come! #LeagueofLegends #LOL

With the news around Zeus, I'm more convinced many similar shady practices happen each year. It genuinely seems he wanted to leave T1 on a high note for whatever reason, which is FAIR! I understand a lot of T1 fans are disappointed.

RE: lolesports.com/en-GB/news/2...

It was already hard to work on esport broadcasts. This will knock anyone looking to hit their first BIG break! While in some aspects, it offers a short-term boost in viewership from co-streamers.

Just because it's F2P and there isn't Gacha doesn't mean it won't have microtransactions, subscriptions and/or battle/season passes!
Very sus on it, I'll hold some cautious optimism, but I doubt it will be a perfect 1-1 of the FFXIV feeling. I suspect we will never see another OSRS MMO on mobile.
November 20, 2024 at 2:35 PM
Might be a hot take but I’m not at all surprised we saw someone leave T1. They’ve won a lot for sure, but regular season was shakey at best, they almost lost two BO5 to miss worlds!

Zeus was an absolute beast at worlds and I don’t blame him for moving on, he’s got a very promising career!

It's wild to think that Arcane will end next week! I could watch this show for another month and still be on the edge of my seat!

It makes me wonder if they will slowly start exploring other characters within the league universe?!

I have been enjoying some of the new content in Final Fantasy 14.

The latest raid is fun, and the dungeon is pretty good, but my god, I can't stand Wuk Lamat.

I understand they've written themselves into a corner with this expansion, but I hope we're done with the character come 8.0.

I've heard some positive takeaways about Dragon Age: The Veilguard, but WOW, the longevity of Baldur's Gate 3 blows me away.

It makes me wonder if we've had any other games that aren't inherently multiplayer-focused that have had this staying power. The first one that jumps to me is Cyberpunk 2077
