Well, I'm satisfied with scoring it a 7 to be honest, feels like the perfect score to piss off everyone XD
Really liked Erika too. It's like, when you take care not to engage in some behavior, so it feels endearing to witness a character embody that personality so bold and shamelessly. An embodiment of one's negative feelings. Also yes, Sakutarou coming in to fight with Kanon and Erika in such a courageous way made me love the guy.
Good stuff though. Agree with the stuff you've said before, and I was constantly thinking about the complaints I was going to make to you, but it has managed to win me over. I can't rate it an 8 because that would be insincere, and I can't rate it a mere 7 because that would be misservice, so I'll settle on something in between. Now I can't put Beato (and Sakutarou) on my favorites and Hope on my profile because I'm in hiding, but I would have loved to. Who were your top 3 favorites in the cast by the way?
Will do, will do. Some other guy said the same and then went like "Nah I didn't recommend it to you" lol I'm not the type to vindictively go after people like that. Also thanks still trying to hide myself hehe
Yes, very ambitious, but so far it hasn't been able to live up to that in my own view (though I don't like the genre particularly so my views shouldn't be taken seriously). It excites me to hear how good the family drama is, let's see how good of a drama writer you are Ryukishi07 🔫
There is little or no Araragi this season so I'll be skipping this installment unfortunately... seeing that he's the catch of the show for me.
BTW, as you once said, the cast is easily the strongest aspect in Umineko. As for the story itself, it feels artificial and contrived, but I think that's because it's supposed to be. I get that Ep 7 and Ep 8 are supposed to be the strongest parts and I haven't read those yet, but before starting Umineko I had this thought of it as this genuinely very good series, and I'm not sure if I can think that anymore.
Ah, I see, and I also value story in video games a lot instead of just focusing on the gameplay. Good to come across a gamer who also values the story a lot XD
Thank you also for putting me back on Natsumachi, I've somehow accidentally missed it but it's great.
I see. You didn't strike me as the type that would like to play video games a lot, but I still wanted to ask since they provide that sense of freedom and unlimited possibilities as well. People I know who like series like Fate and Toaru are usually huge into the world of video games, more so than anime and manga and stuff, so I felt like asking.
I'm mostly the same but old favorites in music just don't hit as hard anymore. I haven't seriously played a video game in years I think. Been jamming to that ARIA soundtrack lately though. Comforted me in times of mental desparation (getting banned from MAL) Really like GTA IV though. Which is your favorite?
Ah yes I see it. It's because of the sense of freedom and being unrestrained maybe. That was probably Toaru's best aspect (things in series influencing each other, like how if they destroy something in one series it goes away in the other too and affects the plot in a different way) I actually prefer the other way around lol I don't even watch the OVAs for my favorite series. You like playing video games?
This may sound very mentally ill, but I was actually using MAL on the phone a while ago and someone took a peek at the screen, and it's been a while but I got paranoid about it so this is like an occasional exercise in safety to me. I'm putting up Fate etc so that I can imagine them looking at my profile and saying "damn, this guy likes Fate, this wasn't his profile" or something since the person knows I don't like Fate. I know it's weird or something and they probably didn't even get to read my username but it mentally comforts me.
The man is back... but not his half-elitist taste. That feeling when someone you know comes back from dead and has different tastes... Maybe it's foundsymphonies, after all 😏

The VN? It isn't yet translated, so I read it in machine translation.
Also hey!
