  1. Oxford is saying they'll have a vaccine by sept. Good that they're keeping in line with my projection date.
  2. I made a steak with such a perfect crust that it has a bishy sparkles when the light hits it. Food wars can suck my dick.
  3. I would have guessed 11. This was me at 14 drinking vodka with my flowing locks of hair
  4. There was clearly a theme and he disregarded it.
  5. Studios like to see merch sales. It's something concrete that they can gauge to see how marketable the show could potentially be. It's similar to Shark Tank if you ever watch that. The Network are in the same position as investors.
  6. The part I'm remembering I think was in the final episode. She's in a building and it begins falling apart. Then we see abstract people and the building being blown apart. Then she's just floating in Black but can hear people talking like a rescue team. After that we just cut to everyone being glued to their phones and she's walking down the street. We also see people walking around the city that were killed, and everyone is acting like nothing had ever happened. Then she walks past the frog looking guy and takes a double take at him as they pass. That's what makes me believe that it was all in her head. The building falling down in Family Planning was symbolic of her being trapped in building rubble. The people in her stories were all just people she'd subconsciously seen in public and used them as the characters in her minds play to escape her reality. As well she is a writer with writers block and was hit in the head. A lot of these lend to everything being fiction when you take into account the final scenes of the series. We even have a scene of her seeing the one cop walking with his daughter. As for if she was even his daughter could be up for interpretation as they were just two people she saw together on the street. Everything else about them may have been made up in her mind. Similar to how someone may people watch and create a backstory for the people they're seeing. We also see the people from Family planning walking by. Things like that are what make me think that this is what she did. Could be wrong but I went with the far more metaphysical route on this series.
  7. They did make a vita version in Japan though I don't think it ever got brought over, and it removed all of the H scenes. As for reading, I watch subs often so reading a VN isn't really all that much different. Though I agree that VN are difficult to get into for me. I really have to be in the right mindset for it.
  8. They still have established in Fate that Saber was a Virgin. Guess otaku don't like the idea of their waifu being sullied goods. Oh yeah there is no way in hell the fate series would make sense to the majority of people for toonami. Even the series that are meant to compliment each other do so rather loosely with what series they borrow from. The only one that would probably do well is UBW since it's a movie and is fairly concise. However it also is expecting that you have watched Stay/Night at times as they're both in the same universe just different route options. Hell I think just the Railgun/Magical Index/Accelerator series would be too confusing for a majority of Toonami's viewing audience because of watch orders and timelines. Black Clover you really don't have to use your brain at all to watch. They even recap the entire origin of the Demon and Wizard King every episode in case you've forgotten. The problem with Black Clover aside from Asta doing nothing but screaming through the majority. Is that it had a very overused character goal and took for fucking ever to actually find it's footing. I think the Vetto fight might have been when it actually began to get interesting and that was like 45 episodes in. I find it hard to recommend shows to people when they take their sweet time to get going. You really could just watch the episode where Asta gets accepted into the Black Bulls then skip to the sea temple arc and wouldn't have missed anything because they are still constantly reintroducing characters and the plot thus far.
  9. It's probably the best way for things to sink in. However I really couldn't recommend that for anyone. If you aren't speed reading it's going to take like 90hrs to 100%. The word count is literally longer than the Bible. Bible - 783,137 words All Lord of the Rings 473,000 All Harry Potter 1,084,170 Fate 820,595
  10. From what I remember of it. The girl survived something, I think a building fell and she was trapped in it or something, and the stories were all in her head. She made up everything based on people she'd seen or knew. She even has that moment where she walks past people on the street that were already killed earlier in the series. Lil Slugger was all in her head and just a representation of her inner frustrations in coping with situation. Possible that I remembered everything wrong since it's been so long. Though at the same time if I am wrong I'd like to give 15 year old me credit on being able to think of something far more abstract than was actually in the series.
  11. Who knows maybe my view of it will have changed as I'm 31 now, and when I first watched it I was 15 or 16. My preference may have changed given it's been half of my damn life by this point. Still Demarco acting like this was going to be a big welcomed surprise was dumb. I already had my expectations pretty low though to begin with. Absolute worst case I foresaw was him saying we'd be getting more DBZ Kai. Between all the reruns of that and any time you play a video game with it covering all the same beats. I could probably go 15 years and not need to watch DBZ again.
  12. The only story that I felt was actually done well was the story of the Gay men and the little girl all trying to kill themselves, but they try and ditch her the whole time leading into a reveal that they were dead all along...except they weren't because all of the stories were made-up in the one girls head as she was a having a near death experience. So the one story I liked never even happened...It's like trying to enjoy St.Elsewhere but having to keep in the back of your mind that none of this matters because none of it really happened and was all some kids daydream. This though doesn't mean that PA or St.Elsewhere are bad, but if you already know what will happen, then you really have to be in a good mindset to actually enjoy it. The message of PA though is a very bleak one. Really I'd have been expecting something more uplifting and light given current events. No lets have a series that focuses on dark themes and isolation instead that's what will hook the viewers.
  13. It isn't the most concise story..... open image in new tab to read
