Gakkou Gurashi ch. 50

Alright got some new developments happening. The leader of the other uni group seems to have been infected and has ran into Miki while Kurumi seems to have been found near the uni and Yuuri is still crazy. Next chapter sounds fun. Or very heartbreaking. Because not only might we see a zombified Kurumi, although why would she be coming back when she already planned to leave, but someone from the school life club can die. Suspects are: everyone but Kurumi. Miki ran into a guy with a mentally unstable guy with a baseball bat, "Kurumi" might do something to Yuki, and Rii's current mental state makes her unpredictable. But hey, congrats towards the manga for reaching 50 chapters. 50 chapters in and it's still going strong.

Some DR3 Theory

With all these theories going around, I might as well put one out. So since the killing game's now over thanks to Juzo (may the man rest in peace), everything seems fine and dandy. But what if the message from Tengan that Mitarai got was a video to induce despair on Mitarai? He's probably got the most luggage on him considering his past before and after Junko. This time however, instead of the suicidal despair, it turns out to be an order to kill? There's a new knife near them thanks to the broken monitor, so he could use that as a weapon. Munakata also dropped his sword (but still has Tengan's weapon I think), but he dropped that a ways away from the group. Might be possible. And a theory to build off on that is that the remnants of despair show up from the boat and save everyone.

Love Live Sunshine ep 4

This so far is best ep, because it’s all about best girl. Although that’s still in debate, Hanamaru definitely rose up the rankings because of this episode. She was willing to go back to loneliness for the sake of her friend whom she met after experiencing years of loneliness. That level of care and kindness, along with other reasons, is why I say she is best girl (for now, since You, Yohane, and the third years haven’t gotten episodes focused on them yet).

This whole episode is pretty much rubyxhanamaru, a.k.a the reincarnation of rinpana. If it ain’t rinpana, then I don’t know what it is. Because Ruby’s shyness (although a bit more extreme) as well as her love of idols is similar to that of Hanayos. And the best friends that were there before the idol days who adds specific words to the end of their sentences are Hanamaru and Rin. If that isn’t enough to convince, Ruby compared herself to Hanayo and Hanamaru keeps looking at Rin’s photo (which is a bonus for me since Rin is a top tier best girl of Muse). With all of the reminiscing of Muse going, I feel like at one point the Aquors girls will realize that they have to do their own thing and stop copying Muse.

Danganronpa Mirai-Hen episode 3

PEOPLE. PEOPLE. IT WAS A PRANK. Twas merely a jest people. Asahina is safe. It was just some tomato sauce. We can all rest easy. For 15 seconds because GODANGIT GREAT GOZU NOOOOO. All of the good people are getting killed and all the sketchy people are being left. The only way my salt levels rise would be if scout guy died. Sure he seemed suspicious this episode, but man is he cool. The way Great Gozu died was similar to the opening, thus everyone who has thus far died stayed true to the opening sequence including Asahina and excluding Chisa. And we still have a locked room murder, thus there are 3 main suspects, unless someone got in via ceiling. Munakata and boxer guy still remains d-bags, Kyouko seems to have not spoken a word when the conversation is about Naegi, and the lovers duo face a drugged pharmacist while Asahina. Also, Hagakure’s taking some flak from the choppers outside who seem to be doing nothing? The plot really just gets more and more convoluted. With questions such as, how does Hagakure fit in all of this? How did ketchup get on Asahina’s shirt? Who is the girl scout guy trying to meet up with? With more and more bracelets being revealed, will someone die of poisoning soon? And most importantly, who’s next? The vertical/horizontal walking theory is still up, but probably not for long.

After reading the latest chapter of Nisekoi, I'm reminded of the Oreimo anime

So the main protagonist chose the blond, who he didn't get along with at first. However, through the story they helped each other out enough to the point where they love each other. He also leaves behind the one voiced by Hanazawa Kana, who was his love interest in the early stages of the story. And of course, the ship wars end with one side standing proud and declaring victory. Hopefully, the sense of victory in Nisekoi will last longer than Oreimo's (because of dat Oreimo ending) Sidenote: blond has blue-haired friend who can be the most dangerous in the harem.

Fairy-Sin Deaths (spoilers btw)

So I just read The latest chapters of Fairy Tail (ch 488) and Nanatsu no Taizai (ch 177). And DAAANG SON, People be dying here and there. Seriously though, reading these 2 chapters consecutively made me feel a little sad. I especialy feel more for Fairy Tail due to its longevity and the writing of the specific scene. Splitting up ships, especially when they're canon, is a little tough on the reader. Also, it's the Gajeel, one of my favourite dragon slayers (the other being Wendy), the man's great. And now the GaLe shippers are in ruins. I appreciated the time Wendy was saved from the desth flag, but this one seems done, so that's a shame. For nanatsu no taizai, I'm skeptical about the deaths. I mean sure, Meliodas got stabbed in the heart 7 times and Ban exploded, but Ban's immortaland Meliodas is the main character. So they'll probably somehow make it out of this. Although, Meliodas might die for a while before coming back alive again and Ban might take a while to gather himself (literally). Because ressurection processes may take a while.

Things I got out of the new Digimon trailer

#1: Joe's smile. Although short, it's nice to see the guy be happy, since he was eally gloomy in the last 2 parts #2: Meicoomon's new form. Not sure if champion or ultimate, but it looks quite cool, very evil. #3: THE BLACK 02 DIGIVICE and thing behind it. So this one's a biggey. The black 02 digivice is Ken's, so they'll probably be mentioning the 02 cast in the next film. HOWEVER, that isn't the only thing. As the thing behind appears to be the device the 02 cast use whenever they want to use the armor digieggs. So maybe we'll see some digi-armor energizing later on? #4: Patamon. Gosh darn Patamon could die for our sins again. In all seriousness though, the little guy needs a break. But now he's infected (he says with a smile). Don't know what'll happen to him, so we'll just have to wait and see. #5: Digivices shining in a ring with a computer in the middle. I've seen what people said and I agree, there's a high chance they're going to the digital world. #6: Mentioning of the crest. I saw a translation of the trailer and it mentioned something about the digidestined and their crests. So it'll be awesome to have that concept again. All in all, looks good. Though maybe a little less on the trailer would have been nice.

Plastic Memories Game Possibilites

So 5pb is developing a Plastic Memories game, and they haven’t mentioned any gameplay in the trailer. Considering that Plastic Memories did not have that big of a harem, then a galge might not be a good choice for a game. Based on the trailer, it mentions Isla’s retrieval limit to 1000 hours. In addition, it also flashes to scenes of the other employees of the Giftia retrieval branch Tsukasa works for. 

So here’s where the game could do. It can improve on the anime. The anime was great, although at some points it was lacking. The game could portray a more in-depth story from the anime in regards to Isla’s countdown and her backstory. However, it can also add in the backstory of the other characters of the anime.

Now considering that they haven’t announced gameplay yet, here’s an idea from me:

Note: If you don’t want to go through some guy proposing gameplay ideas to a game that’s probably already had some progress in the development process, you can skip the next 2 paragraphs. 

What could be a fun game would be a “management game”. I use quotes because I don’t really know the specific category for it. 

So the game would have you be able to manage retrieval duties. As in, you can choose when to collect the giftias, leaving your “free time” for activities that enhances giftia retrieval scores. These retrieval scores could be based on customer satisfaction or how well the retrieval went. You can increase these scores by levelling up attributes in your free time. Attributes could include communication skills and teamwork with partner. The other characters could have quests you could do for them, and some of the quests could unlock certain scenes as well as hurdles for the true ending. Reaching the true ending would include clearing all of the other character’s stories/problems. And considering that you have to do this in 41 days, maybe there could be 2-3 character stories you have to clear before the final day. 

TLDR: I’m curious to see how the game will play. Also, the game can improve on the anime, so here’s to hoping it will be enjoyable at least.
