Ditto but for anime. Well except for the ones with garbage anime adaptations like Biscuit Hammer and Houshin Engi. I'm basing those off the manga. (I should probably just do a manga one too for those cases but eh.)

Etrian Odyssey is probably the only Atlus series that I'm truly passionate about. I do like SMT but it's not a favorite and I never got into any of the Persona games I played. But with Etrian Odyssey I actually own a copy of every game in the series with a bunch of hours put into each of them.

Just make a gacha out of it! Surely that won't backfire! Seriously though when I got into Towelket I was hooked and played everything that was out at the time. Unless someone just wasn't really feeling it then I can't imagine only playing the first three.

Which is why even though I don't care much for the idea of reboots I can see a reboot of this working well. I can easily imagine an episode where Yui has to fight someone using generative AI stealing the art of others to make his own monstrosities. Today's internet can make for a lot of episodes.

I get you. I really do. Her and her maid make for really wonderful toxic yuri. I don't think I'm going to get the game since I'm not that interested in Pokemon right now but I can't say I wasn't tempted.

-She did thousands of HP worth of damage to my whole party including herself. The mental image made me laugh but I cried soon after because it was near the end of a dungeon and I hadn't saved. Any enemy that could charm after that instantly became a priority target because that traumatized me.

-it always felt weird to me. When you say that the democratisation can only be a unambiguous good I totally agree. It doesn't happen often but there are cases of the outfit getting censored (Tales of Symphonia for example.) and that's only due to fear of lawsuits from playboy.

This was an interesting read. I don't remember when exactly I first saw a bunnygirl but it was definitely from something Japanese (probably Dragon Ball) and just thought of it as cosplay outfit. I didn't know about the playboy connection until a few years later. So the idea that they somehow owned-

Got em. It's pretty obvious but defensive formations really go a long way for boss fights.

I feel like I got monkey pawed. Kurt is very close to my ideal FE protagonist but she's stuck in a game I've got no faith in. I doubt IS has any faith in it too since they just shadow dropped it with no advertisement. She should have been the MC of a mainline game.

Reading your old VIPRPG article a few years ago might be a life changing event for me. It's what got me into the subculture and even if you exclude the silly kusoge that last a few minutes most of the games I've played since then have been a VIPRPG. I even bought 2K just to try creating something.

Zakuzaku Actors? Amazing taste. I don't really have a favorites list or anything like that but if I did then Zakuzaku Actors would be at the very top.
