9:40 Not worthy. Albeit in Chariot's case it's mostly not her fault, she got 6 of the 7 words and couldn't get the power of friendship because Croix was a total POS and she didn't have anyone else. That's another example of the weak pacing. Akko gets the first word in Episode 1 pretty much by complete accident and seemingly barely even remembers what she did when it's mentioned in Episode 2, then it's completely ignored until the Midseason finale when we get the exposition dump and then Akko's getting one every other episode. Show isn't perfect for sure and mostly would have benefited from being a bit longer(I think 40 episodes would be perfect). Did you ever play the game Chamber of Time?

@@kalkuttadrop6371 Akko and Sucy is the most chaotic choice possible and I kind of wish they went for it just because it would be unbelievably unique. Not even sure if I would like them together but it would be such a bold decision.

@@Fusionater Chaotic + Chaotic is probably asking for trouble, Akko needed some stability which fits Andrew and Diana. And I guess Lotte, but literally no one ships that. Also it's "Low-Tay" and "Croy", not "Lot" and "Crow"

Sad to say it’s a losing battle to get me to pronounce things correctly most of the time. I’ll try. Allow the chaos to thrive!!!

@ LWA had a genuinely really good dub. Akko has the same english VA as Megumin, Lotte the same English VA as Sailor Moon, and Sucy...well actually her English VA hasn't done much. I'd give the first episode a watch at least, it's a solid A-Tier(which in my ranking system means as good as subbed. S-Tier is better than subbed which has only happened like, 3 times) Did you ever play Chamber of Time?

@@kalkuttadrop6371 I did not.

@@kalkuttadrop6371 Most people I talk to think the modern explosion of isekai started with SAO, but I’m not sure I’ve met anyone who literally thinks either that or Re:Zero/Mushoku were the originators. The earliest one I’ve personally seen that I consider to fit the mold of what people mean when they use the term Isekai is Now and Then, Here and There (although things like Digimon fit the another world aspect, the fantasy element of isekai has become such an entrenched part of the genre that the more sci-fi aspect to Digimon keeps it in a different grouping in my viewing, for lack of a better term, a lower case i isekai. I’m not familiar with MKR

@@Fusionater Sci-Fi inspiration was decently common with the second gen stuff, and again it's also pretty common in Western Isekai. Hack also has some of that and even SAO to a lesser degree. Magic Knight Rayearth is early 90s, it's also kind of infamous for having the last/rarest Sega Sagturn game released in the west. It's the one with the 3 girls who get sucked through a portal at Tokyo Tower and become the Magic Knights to save Rayearth,. Main chick has the red hair, sword, gets a cool helmet design in her stronger form and then gets a mech at peak, other two are blue and green, one has a bow, lot of stuff about friendship, and then the last arc kind of goes all over the place insane.

@@Fusionater I'm guessing that's also why people debate whether or not Time Travel counts as Isekai. I'd say it depends on the type of time travel story, but if you've gotten to the point there's little to no tether to your old world and nothing is really recognizable it should count. Literally one of the OGest Western Isekai(even predating Oz) is "A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court" which is a time travel story

@ I guess for me there should be a list of tropes that you would put in the “isekai” checklist, and so long as you meet like 85% of them or whatever, congratulations, you’re an isekai. I kind of like the idea of no tethers to your original world being one of those, for time travel, Erased? No. Dr. Stone? Yes. (On that tickmark, one could debate whether certain later aspects in Dr. Stone keep it from the Isekai title)

@@Fusionater Minimal Tethers anyway. More breathing room if it's made clear this is an alternate timeline and there's no Grandfather paradoxing going on. I guess my broader point bringing up the 2010s stuff is that I've a lot of people recently try to say that Eastern Isekai and Western Isekai are fundementally extremely different and are written with massively different mindsets and may as well be seperate genres, but I feel that's only true if you exclusively look at 3rd Gen and to a lesser degree 2nd Gen Eastern Isekai. The First Generation stuff like Rayearth or Digimon or Wonderland is a lot closer to the Western Stuff. (And Second Gen isekai influenced a lot of Western stuff too, just not really stuff we normally consider Isekai. Code Lyoko took some of the Sci-Fi cues and Infinity Train I'd argue follows the 'lesson learning' motif that was really common in Late First Gen Early Second Gen Japanese Isekai, with the sci-fi influence more common in Second Gen).

@@kalkuttadrop6371 If I remember right Jaszminka gets more to do in Enchanted Parade right? I never ended up reacting to it because it was kind of hard for me to find at the time.

@@Fusionater A little bit, but if you want peak Jaszminka you'd want the Manga where they actually do her spotlight story. TLDR she's got a hunger fairy inside her, that's why she's always eating. They also explore what's going on with Constanze more. Main thing I remember from the short films is that Diana is way nastier initially.

I believe it, the worlds have such a similar vibe/sense of wonder to them, despite being so different otherwise.

@@Fusionater The three biggest inspirations for TOH were Little Witch Academia, Gravity Falls, and Harry Potter from what I've read. The first one because it was the creators favourite and again she was a fan a decade ago, second one because it was one of the most influential cartoons of the 2010s and made by her BF, and the third one because...I mean it's a magic school story it's gonna be in there.

@@kalkuttadrop6371 Is Harry Potter being an influence confirmed? The whole magic school thing predates Harry Potter by a pretty wide stretch, it might be the biggest known one today, but it’s by no means original, and I don’t think Hexside is terribly similar in the way it separates students or generally operates. Grudgby is definitely a Quidditch reference of course.

@@Fusionater The 4 houses thing and Grudgby as well as just general genre tropes it popularized, a lot less specifics and more tropes that it's best known for.

@ I’ll agree with popularized tropes but I don’t think I can agree with the four houses thing just because, although they do separate kids into different fields of magic, Hexside not being a boarding school doesn’t literally physically separate the kids in the same meaningful way that the four houses do at Hogwarts. It’s one thing in the Owl House I actually wish they hadn’t slightly painted as inherently bad, specialization. In concept, if’s kind of cool that the school was focused on teaching one branch of magic to the kids very well, rather than teaching them a bunch of magic to a mediocre level. (Debate whether this would be good for the American school system lol) Kids should have been a bit more more free to switch paths or pursue other magic as an extracurricular/minor, but the rough idea of locking them into an area they have shown an aptitude in could have been a good comparison to differences in real world schooling and also just been more interesting.

I had to go rewatch the episode because I had no idea wtf you were talking about. 😂 Can't say I'm mad.

Yeah, a lot of times a villain's motivations won't fully be explained at first to keep it mysterious. It feels like older series often took their time to explain things later while more modern anime like to go straight to the point. Sailor Moon does this a lot. Since each episode has a different writer, the quality differs from episode to episode.

I think my issue is that the heroes seem weirdly uninterested in all the mysterious stuff going on (like what's Chibi-Usa's deal and who the villains are.) Like I think Luna in season 1 would have tried to investigate and figure stuff out or would have more talks with Artemis about what's going on or something.

@@vilmublues752 Chibiusa is like 5-6 years old, but hard to interrogate her because she clearly has no idea what she's doing. I think they're hoping her parents will just pop up looking for her. Though It would have been nice to see them asking her questions alot sooner. Or even show the cats using the computer to at least search for the identity of their attackers.

Nice! They put alot of work in their shows.

@@ilovestuffist I might go see it if the price makes sense.

@@Fusionater Same. The tickets go up for sale soon probably around January 31st. There's more information on the Sailor Moon Super Live website and social media accounts. Tickets are going to be sold through each venue. Sailor Moon Fan Network (a Sailor Moon news website run by fans) will keep updating as more information comes out. The more support there is for this unprecedented event the more likely they might come back, and maybe even other anime musicals might start coming to North America. Sailor Moon has had many musicals since the 90s called Sera Myu in Japan and are popular but in the last several years there's been a push for a more international version that goes all over the world.

The change to Usako is a Japanese thing. Usagi = Bunny. That changes means he's calling her "little Bunny " to show the audience he still care for her alot. Not really a spoiler.

@@gamegeek812 and it rules

@@helarymedina3139 You’ll come to find that you and I have a contention when it comes to this opinion. 😅

I never expected the experience to be getting a prescription in less than the amount of time it takes to complete a lunch break. XD

Do we get cool uniforms?

Appreciate it, I’m not sure but there’s a decent shot I’ll check it out.

😂

Basically, season one of The Promised Neverland is amazing, it’s a thrilling horror story that introduces you to the world. It inspired me and tons of others to go and read the manga, which, while flawed in places, is outstanding, Season 2 changes everything, they speedrun what should have been a roughly 4 season story, cutting most of the most important arcs (and, for some reason, a fan-favorite character, despite being in the part of the story they were adapting) It is one of biggest gut punches I’ve ever had as a fan of tv, it would have been better if it had simply been cancelled. (Season 1, by the way, is still worth checking out, as the story arc it covers is relatively self contained, and you can read the manga after if you want)

@@Fusionater Oh okay. It seemed like you were tossing out the books, so I thought the manga took a bad turn.

It’s annoyingly common for songs in anime to not have subtitles, I don’t mind it so much for background music, or OPs(best I’ve seen is including subtitles for some episodes and not for others), that would overclutter the scene, but when a major character is singing and it’s the focus of the scene, no subtitles is a baffling decision to me. (This JUST happened in an episode of Re:Zero and I am no annoyed…)

@Fusionater You would think streaming services would provide the subtitles used in the physical releases as well for the songs. A lot of times I think they release it on a streaming service and then they add the subtitles for the music in the Blu-Ray/DVD releases because there's always that option in the language menu to have "Signs & songs" with subtitles. It's also possible that they added the subtitles for the songs in order to get past quality control but not on streaming services since they might have different standards.

Side note, is it sad that, as a non-dub watcher, the most instantly recognizable role of Cristina Vees for me from IMDB was Fwench Fwy, despite the fact that I’m currently watching Miraculous Ladybug? 😂

@@Fusionater Naw That's just the vibe you're getting.
