Because Nintendo is a vexatious litigant that weaponizes the legal system in an attempt to bankrupt their opponents.

This art style reminds me of Claymore.

Its really unfortunate that the ml admins are the way they are. Too bad there cant be a mass mod message sent as a DM to subscribers telling them where to move to. That make sit tedious and can make those left behind feel lost. But I guess if enough move over and the anime community that is more social than this one gets bigger maybe itll be easier to find? Who knows.

I was only here because it was the first search result a while back.

ml admins hate anime and don’t want it on their instance. Simple as that.

There is a lot of anti-anime hatred lately, especially on social media like Lemmy, Reddit, and Twitter. With more popularity comes more haters, par for the course really.

It may be better to move to an anime focused instance, but thats what most instance owners want. They dont want CSAM but they also dont want anime in general, so they can just claim they’re the same thing and get rid of both.

Nintendo used to make powerful hardware that was actually competitive too. I wish they’d go back to that. So many third parties dropped most Nintendo support because they keep making decisions that severely limit third party developers. N64 lacked CDs, Gamecube had tiny CDs, Wii was literally just the Gamecube in a different shell and therefore underpowered, WiiU was underpowered, Switch is underpowered.

Nintendo literally changed their entire business strategy because they want to repeat the sales of the Wii.

Imagine how much better TotK could have been if it had an actually powerful console. Korok Forest would get more than 15 fps.

Not really. They’re nearly as similar as 1080p and 720p, really. 1080i is a vertical resolution 1.5 times bigger than 720p, just like 1080p.

The only difference actually is that 720p is a progressive scan inage, not an interlaced image. This means the field is constructed top down row by row. Once the field is constructed, it is displayed as a single field.

An interlaced image constructs two fields separately in short succession, with one field having only odd rows and the other having only even rows. They’re displayed on screen fast enough so that the image appears complete, but an interlaced image can have a noticeable “jitter” effect because every other vertical row on screen is updated slightly later than the others. Depending on the display, it can also have decreased brightness or a flashing like effect because the time inbetween both fields being displayed can be visible to the human eye.

The Dreamcast library can feel underwhelming because of how shortlived the console was. Most Dreamcast games didn’t get to fully realize the console’s power because it didn’t last long enough for the potential to be fully realized. EA was afraid of piracy so didnt even try to develop for it, and the Dreamcast launched too close to the Saturn for most people. However, it was the fastest selling console in the US at the time. But then like, a year and a half later the PS2 launched and killed any chance the Dreamcast had.

Dreamcast had a lot of good games. Notably, Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, Shenmue, Grandia 2, and Record of Lodoss War. But what I think makes the library good is how experimental all the games on it were. Games like Illbleed. Its hard to find “duplicate” games on the Dreamcast, unless you look at like, the Resident Evil port and Dino Crisis port.

For a console that realistically only existed for about 18 months, it did quite well. Had the Dreamcast not launched so close to the Saturn, had SEGA supported the Saturn in the US more, had the PS2 not come along to kick it down, and had EA not dropped it instantly, then I definitely think the console would have done well.

WiiU was underpowered when it launched. Even if someone had utilized it 100%, it still would have been behind compared to the Xbox360 and PS3. 720p only when the Xbox and PS2 were already supporting 720p and 1080i was also a bad choice.

WiiU was just a bunch of bad choices combined in a single product. Bad hardware choices, bad marketing, bad name, requiring the massive gamepad for console setup, etc.

GameCube was good, but I say the SEGA Dreamcast definitely takes the Underrated and Underutilized Console award.

The key flaw was it using mini disks. Not only did this kneecap storage capacity for developers, but it also made it difficult to pirate games, which is ironically a big part of its failure.

Whether it is accurate or not is not important. The context of the religious imagery and content in Evangelion is purely for aesthetics.

This is kind of an odd question. Everyone will be biased to what they like themselves, but if I have learned anything lately its that the good stuff you think would make tons of money gets locked away forever, and the same mainstream normie stuff is what gets pushed hard and the normies keep buying it up.

No Appleseed, no Bubblegum Crisis, no Perfect Blue, no Silent Mobius, no Record of Lodoss War, none of the good stuff like those.

At this point, those IPs have next to zero brand recognition, and the companies that own them see them as too high risk to be worth doing anything new with them other than whatever is legally minimally required to keep the IP and trademarks from becoming public domain. Either that, or they make a live action remake that turns out to be worse than ExARM’s animation quality.

Personally, I haven’t had many issues with subtitles on Crunchyroll, but there are a few issues I have had with Crunchyroll in general that are annoying.

1. Localization changes. This isn’t specific to the app, but its really annoying when an anime localizer changes the dialogue to match their personal politics instead of just translating what the original anime creators intended whether the localizer agrees with it or not. In some cases this is understandable, such as when some pop culture or political joke is made that cannot be understood in a different culture, so swapping that out for a suitable replacement joke or reference is fine. But when entire lines are changed in a scene that drastically alter a character’s personality or motives, that’s a problem. This translation is sometimes also used as the subtitle text, which means sometimes subs are inaccurate because of a localizers personal politics. This has happened with many localizers in the past, but Crunchyroll seems to accumulate these bad changes more than others.

2. Some content is not available on one platform, but it is on a different platform even within the same region. For example, Bubblegum Crisis is not available on the Android TV app, but it is available on the Xbox Series X app, within the same home. I don’t know if that is a bug or an oversight, but it is pretty annoying.

Well it makes sense, since Funimation was absorbed into Crunchyroll. I am surprised that Funimation streaming atill exists.

Evangelion is not Christian, and makes no commentary on religion. The only connection Eva has with religion is that Anno wanted exotic sounding terms, and he borrowed them from Chritianity and Judaism, among a few others. Literally the whole reason there is religious imagery is because Anno “thought it looked cool.”

Seeing this makes me wish Heaven’s Lost Property got a Season 3 instead of the Eternal My Master movie even more than I did before.

Yeah, honestly the apps suck. Some shows are not available on Mobile or the TV app, but are available in the Xbox app.

Cant download probably in an effort to prevent you from getting a free 1 week trial and downloading all the shows for free.

Don’t know about Jerboa, but Connect for Lemmy has a feature that you can type in keywords you want to use as filters, and posts with those words in the title are automatically hidden.

I use it to filter out political posts, and after using it in this way my Lemmy experience has drastically improved. You may be able to use it in a similar way for spider related stuff, maybe Jerboa can add a similar feature.

As far as images without anything to note its a spider in the title, you’d need to add image recognition, which is something more likely to be added to Lemmys backend than as a clientside thing.

I thought the concept was interesting. Seemed a bit derivative of The Witcher, but it was still interesting. I enjoyed most of the action scenes, and the VAs were not obnoxious in the Japanese dub.

I didn’t like how repetitive it started to feel towards the end, but I’d be lying if I said I didnt like it more than most of the anime I’ve watched that released after 2005.

I also really liked the soundtrack.
