this is a pretty cool answer anime.stackexchange.com/a/48164

I never would have guessed

Just finished watching the Madoka Magica Rebellion movie

It's... very different

I didn't really like the first quarter of the movie

and I don't know how I should feel about the last quarter of the movie

@Gao at least no one who's not an alien ended up dead

but man, it tries hard to parody so many things

@Gao how do you mean?

@Memor-X the alien can't be dead, because homura (and the world) needs them

@Gao but what about all those arrows that were shot before the universe was reset

@Memor-X yukkuri, gendo pose, visored, fate, and many more things that seem like memes

@Gao not sure about some of those things but would you say the same for Monogatari

remember that both Madoka and Monogatari were made by Shaft

possible

@Memor-X not sure why madoka shot them. anyways, homura kept at least one QB alive

@Gao maybe "don't fuck with my wifey you white yuri hating shits!"

@Memor-X she should have done that in the TV series

@Gao oh but at that time is was Homura going "don't fuck with my future wifey"

but yeh, id Madoka wish to rid the universe of them there's be no witches, no Magical Girls, and she and Homura would be fine

but i still can't believe mami died like that in the TV. we've seen how strong she is in the rebellion movie

@Gao she let her guard down and that brief moment cost her

Homura did try to warn her that Charlotte was different

@Memor-X mami's probably the strongest "normal" magical girl

@Gao yes if normal we also exclude Puella Magi who can witch out like Sayaka and Nagisa

Charlotte is fucking cute!

@Gao we are talking about the Magical girl who was Bebe right?

i take it also you saw that lewd scene between Sayaka and Kyoko?

@Memor-X yes, all 3 forms are cute

@Gao 3?

was there a lewd scene?

oh, hand holding?

@Gao yes

@Memor-X aren't they the same entity?

@Gao yeh but i'm trying to think of 3. i only imagine 2. Nagisa as "Bebe" and Nagisa normal

ofcause Bebe is really just her inital Charlotte form but it's adorable how she has more personality in the movie in that

@Memor-X the form that eats things is also kind of cute, in a morbid way

@Gao the big worm thing?

@Memor-X yea, it does look somewhat like a worm

@Memor-X i love her angry face

@Gao ^ that

^ is cute

though not as cute as the doll or the loli

@Gao yeh i prefer those

so is everyone paired?

Madoka x Homura

@Gao sorta if you ship Mami and Nagisa

Sayaka x Kyoko

but then again you could think of them as Mother and daughter

and before Rebellion you had The Christmas Witch (NSFW Doujin) which shipped Mami with that Office Lady she saved

in my head i imagine them as the couple raising Nagisa as their daughter

lol da fuck? the office lady is not a magical girl

@Gao well why do they all need Magical Girlfriends?

Moemura wasn't a Magical Girl at first and we could have shipped her with Madoka in the first timeline

@Memor-X or else a new paradox would be created and the all magical yuri couples rule would be rewritten

@Gao well in The Christmas Witch the Office Lady didn't know that Mami was the girl who saved her until after they had sex and Mami went to leave to fight Witches

hmm... come to think of it, they're just pretending to be magical girls

in reality, they're just.... that inanimate object

@Gao well they were that before they were Magical Girls, just that what keeps them moving was on the inside

or we can think of it like Sayaka described and they are corpses so Puella Magi love making is Necrophilia

moment of truth

so did you see the "traumatic" reviews for the movie on MAL before hand?

not in detail, just read some reactions from those who have seen it

like "episode 9-12: what the fuck?; rebellion: WHAT DA FUCK?"

but i think i did know the gist of it beforehand

coz i was waiting for something bad to happen at the end

but the end is not as bad as i thought

not irrational

so i'm kinda relieved

@Gao yeh, could have been worse

Homura is #1 yandere

lets see, the guy who wrote Madoka ended one series with a girl crying and yelling at a guy not for command her to destroy what she was looking for and having part of the city consumed in an inferno. in another an eldritch abomination mutated all of humanity to be of a species similar to him so that one guy, who see said abomination as a loli and people as monsters, sees the world normal'

@Gao lol, wouldn't call it yandere. obsessive maybe

@Memor-X A classy yandere then. She did make some threats to Sayaka

@Memor-X umm what are those?

@Gao did she?

@Hakase Fate/Zero and Saya no Uta

on and abomination is a girl

damn

"mutated all of humanity to be of a species similar to her"

@Hakase yep. both are True Endings

though with Fate we sorta already knew before hand that Zero was going to end like that

(maybe this is a spoiler to some)

now remind me why I never watched any of the fate stuff

is it coz of the art style?

yea looks like it

and ratings aren't that high

at least for most of those

@Hakase possibly

but ofcause i would go into Psycho Pass expecting messed up end because it's Gen Urobuchi

so have you seen psycho poss?

@Hakase nope

got the game though. havn't played it yet

see the first season, skip second, watch the movie

@Hakase second season filler? or really more messed up?

the movie is bad

second season is like "more of the same" but worse like characters are bland, situations aren't shedding any new light on the world, worldbuilding isn't advancing anywhere

it's like an alternetive point of view on the events from the perspective of another police girl

movie is interesting coz it adds something new

@Hakase yuri one?

don't remember, possibly

I mean you can watch it

like i recall reading that one of the character's have a girlfriend

but the second season had more hints of yuri than the first

there's a youtube review vid about psycho pass which lists the reasons why first season is good and though through, and the second was like 90% outsourced and half-assed while the studio was focusing on something else

they were focusing on the movie, and the movie turns out bad, too

from a Steam Curator on the game

oof searching through the transcript I just dug up some old drama :D

@Hakase ours?

ya

ok found what I was looking for

that's regarding psycho pass s2

that's a crop of a fullscreen still

I remember watching that scene and the animation was like this and they were talking and I thought "yea right fuck animation quality at this point lol"

sometimes studios go back and redraw some shoddy scenes and do a bluray remaster release

not this one :p

@Taisho what

huh looks interesting

myanimelist.net/anime/1202/… it says?

> 8/10. - great game, great characters, great battle system. looses 2 points because Mir was forced to wear clothes

@Hakase it's based off a PS2 game

that one is the OVA for the first game

the image is from the second

dang

I missed a whole generation of stuff coz I only had ps1

@Hakase emulators

but then I probably wouldn't have understood anything coz it's story-driven

oh shit you're right

now my pc can actually run ps2 emulators fine

like i'm slowly converting my entire PS2 collection into roms for the emulators

@Hakase if you play Ar Tonelico, make sure with the second one you get the PAL version

what's the difference there?

@Gao yea this vid check it out

contains some little nsfw scenes from psycho pass 2

NTSC Version as a game crashing bug in the boss before the final boss which forces you to beat the boss in a couple of turns before they use a set ability

but it's pretty funny and informational

ah

the good ol spyro year of the dragon fuck-you-if-you-pirated-this-game overwrite the save with game restart autosave >:(

had to use 2 memory cards to avoid it and retry the final boss a couple times hoping it doesn't happen

I remember for the last time beating all 3 games to 100+% sometime in 2015

and then crash bandicoot

fun times

@Hakase was this with the PAL Version?

I don't think so

had to be ntsc

@Hakase hmmm, i know that with the PAL Version there's like a file that's missing from rips of the disk which you can download and put in a folder for ePSXe to fix

(or you could track down the NTSC version)

I just used many of my cds

I had like 7 discs across 3 games

@Hakase why 7? where did the extra 4 come from?

duplicates, different versions, scratched ones, replacements, bought on accident coz I thought I lost the original one

sometimes you go to your country house for the entire summer and you can't find some disc so your (grand)parents take you to the local market where you can but those discs for pennies

I remember them costing as low as 15 rub (1/2 or 1/4 of a buck by those days' prices)

500% pirated of course

ohayou

and you too, curious peeky boi

@Hakase girl. it's Pino from Ergo Proxy

oh?

though tiny it looks like a dog

I thought pino was a boi

nah

huh

that's Pino when not wearing her onesie

just the aesthetic of the show kinda allows for boys to look like that, and even the long hair doesn't mean anything imo

that's how I saw it :p

I have a coworker who loooooved ergo proxy and is a gigantic evangelion fan and can talk a lot about various other popular mainstream series but somehow he couldn't get started on madoka????

@Hakase well she's also a robot

@Taisho listen to me bot!

being all like "eww that cutesy stuff at the beginning I was cringing hard and vomiting" like dude you loved other mainstream anime stuff what's the deal with cringing and vomiting what the hell

@Taisho who

why does he not listen to me @Hakase?

he doesn't process message edits

and you can't both @ him and # command in the same message

maybe I'll fix it one day if I see it fail again

it'll probably take about 15-25 minutes

I was fully set to watch the entire 12 episodes of the cutesy stuff from the first 2 episodes

I guess some people have it rough with peer pressure

old.reddit.com/r/AnimeCalendar

i found one of the best android apps yesterday

play.google.com/store/apps/…

those google app reviews are either a mess or a bless

it is just a dumb funny app

basically you just click on mayushi and she goes "TUTURUUUUU"

this is an interesting sub old.reddit.com/r/changemyview/top/?sort=top&t=all

changemyviewis tricky

there's a lot of lgbt hateful stuff

i do not see anything offensive on the front page though

@ToshinouKyouko audiobooks but it can be too interesting and therefore distracting so beware

@Ave I've taken a quick look at a couple top posts, so far nothing too bad, but I'll keep an eye on it

it's interesting to hear what's up in people's heads

lots of insight I haven't found in other subs/posts yet

hmmmm

I've got lil green mates growing on the balcony

@ToshinouKyouko i listen to the Co-Optional Podcast

I used to watch almost every H3 podcast but you can listen to them too

there are some interesting ones in the archive with guests

without guests it's not as good

damn

well
