Getting ganked by the ancient cyclops in the middle of a newbie zone brings me back. All the old flair - like killing a named then finding a quest given to kill that named then waiting an hour for it to respawn ;p

Dunno your class, but if you are warrior you can just stun her to prevent the spider summoning. Slam is a pretty handy skill.

That's not true, even all the way up to current time. The non-human bit is doing a lot of carrying there as well, given that 90% of all the characters are non-human. That, on the other hand, is a completely fair criticism.

There's two different dismisses - if you dismiss from their portrait ( red cross ), then they just go inactive in tavern, they still stay with all their gear etc and you can hire a new one for that slot. The second dismiss, the gray skull on the merc screen, permanently deletes them and, as far...

Path of the Deathless is kind of the ADHD of litrpg, it's pretty much a relentless onslaught of ridiculously over the top action and progression. Central conceit is that the MC gets stronger against whatever killed him each time he gets killed. If you thought DotF was too slow to ramp up this...

Normally 'super powered beings can't come up with anything better than punching for a fight' is a lame cliche, but that opening uppercut gets a pass from me ;p

That's probably actually a best case for a show like this - don't have to run the line between having no content if you are renewed and spinning wheels going nowhere in the current season. 'You've got a season to wrap it up' is pretty generous.

Sure, you can dislike stuff for whatever reason, I think Seananigan's point was more that it's not always obvious if something you don't like makes a story worse or not, even for you. Like compare the 'I read this story but character x fucking sucked, I hated everything about them' and 'I...

People can mean different things when talking about animation quality, sometimes it's just about whether it looks good, sometimes it is about appreciation of the amount of work that something took to do, or of clever tricks that people hadn't done before - it's kind of like cinematography...

It's been like 20 years, but I remember liking it. Obviously don't expect modern animation standards.

Fucking around with the timeline like they wanted to be Westworld was certainly a choice. It's probably money though - the anime financing world seems murky and incomprehensible even by hollywood accounting standards, and how good something was/how many people watched it don't seem to have any...

but the feeeeeeels ! This was mawkish self-indulgent rubbish, if they just left it at the end of the previous episode that would have been fine.

I don't do audiobooks, but that sounds like a great idea. Particularly for chrysalis actually, author made the rookie mistake of using adjectives instead of numbers in mutations, so it gets increasingly ridiculous as the MC picks between things glowing-hyper-dense-ultra-compact-compound-plating...

S2 seems pretty on par with S1 - spots of amazing giant monsters and interesting story, interspersed with painfully pointless family drama. It did set a new low bar for unintentionally hilarious casting though when their 'elite hacker' wasn't able to use an ipad because her fingernails were too...

That bugged the shit out of me. Not to mention what the fuck the reactor cooling towers had to do with the main doors being open or closed. The 'oh if there's low O2 then the doors will automatically open' I can buy sort of ( though this 'feature' is pretty pants on head in a sealed bunker...
