  • For anyone interested in mystery in any way, I seriously recommend that you watch "Kono Naka ni Hitori, Imouto Ga Iru!". While certainly not the shiniest or best written thing ever, given the rapid and almost absurd resolution to some side-arcs and the deux ex machina of several events throughout the narrative, the series is an excellent example of a mystery well done, and does so mostly without using crime. However, whether you want to make a typical murder mystery or actually want to pull the strings to originality, this is an excellent show to learn from. It not only actually keeps the proper suspense and causes people to guess it´s resolution again and again without betraying the trust of the audience, but also provides excellent examples of foreshadowing and red-hairings.


    There is a lot more I could and would say, but that would involve heavy spoilers and this is a series I feel is best watched without even reading comments or anything beyond the anime itself.
    Just finished Shoushin Shoujo Matoi


    Albeit quite the weak start, the show rampantly becomes absolutely beautiful, ESPECIALLY the music, which really ages well. The ending is a bit convoluted but the anime itself still strikes deep and perhaps even more importantly to me. showcases something that a lot of RPs and even many other great works sorely lack: Respect for it´s thematics, more specifically, the religious thematic. A lot in the show has to do with the idea that gods are actually beings from a  higher dimension (this is a minor spoiler, but it doesn´t change that much except thematically, and you will probably have guessed it by ep 2 anyway)  than our own and this could create an easy leeway for making what a lot of shows do which is take it under assumption that not only is religion BS but it´s believers deserve mockery. Instead, though, the show takes on this matter with the essential question "does it matter?" , thus reversing the potential negative of lacking respect to boosting consideration.

    I was thinking of that. I don´t adapt well to things who lack the modern polish in art, though. Not to say today´s are necessarily better, but I´m more used to modern art. One of the reasons why I, for example, am yet to watch Neon Genesis Envagelion, the artstyle looks too old for me.


    Then again, in my journey through anime I did encounter some fun old-looking anime and I´ll certainly have to watch more of those in the future. Still , as far as mahou shoujo staples go, I´m taking Cardcaptor Sakura first.
    I am really proud of myself right now. To think that I crafted a functional hypnosis at 3AM in the morning! I´m pretty sure the person probably exaggerated it or did something else that helped the desired effect more than my text itself, but considering the most training I have is a research project I did nearly four years ago, it sorting any effect at all is enough to bring a huge grin to my face.

    and for the curious, here´s the text:

    *my hands slowly reach behind your back. They place themselves in your shoulders and slowly but smoothly climb up, dragged along just an inch above your skin, you feel the simple heat going up and closer to your neck until the fingers seal themselves there, pressuring, creating simple, light, relaxing pressure, relaxing, even more relaxing, dragging down the tension, and you feel tickles, tiny tickles, and the tickles are somehow relaxing, they are in the back of your neck . Focus on the tickles on your neck as my hands climb down, and pressure, they pressure your back and it feels so relaxing, but you barely notice as you just take a deep breath, and let it out right away, you can only think about the tickles, now the air. Where did the air go? Is air flowing in and out of your body right now? You barely notice the pressure in your back as it relaxes, relaxes more and more and you just think about the air, eyebrows getting heavy, heavier, so relaxing , so much you even forget what you were relaxing for in the first place. Yes, tired, but happy, think of smiles. Don´t think of smiles. Think of smiles. Such relaxing smiles. And now...

    How do you feel?* 
    TMW you realize you spent half your day trying to get down a response but the sheer size of what you will have to write is so overwhelming you freeze...

    Never underestimate your power with words if you freeze and its short, then you're way overthinking it, just put words to page, it doesnt matter what you say as long as you say it :D
    So, here is the new profile picture. There weren´t really any characters to honor this week , but the sheer cuteness of the cast of invaders of Rokujouma is jaw-dropping and commendable, and since this goes for almost all of them, I´ll just have to use GIFs with all of them :)  XD


    So here is the first one, the singing intro!

    CUTENESS!!!!

    Fantasy, that's what I like

    Alright.


    So, "whacko fantasy adventure" is a roleplay about a group of people who inhabit a town called "Jizzytown" , a city built for every outright failure, idiot and lunatic in an entire fantasy world. However, this group of incompetents is gonna strive this year to win the annual race to save the princess from the dragon (it´s such a normal thing nobody really cares anymore). The idea of the roleplay is to be based on early comic relief and through the struggles the characters go trhough, upgrade itself over time into something more emotionally serious. The main focus early on is the sheer silliness in the distortion of certain tropes and of certain scenarios and characters.


    The magical girl roleplay kind requires you to know what a magical girl is (as in the genre and trope) and the basic idea is that magical girls have become famous after being discovered and due to the exceeding need society has for them (they can defeat enemies nobody else can) they actually grew to join an upper layer of society. But now, the force that created them is telling them there is a way to destroy their enemies forever and that the first one to accomplish said goal will be granted an unimaginable prize. This RP is the one I have that seems most suited for your tastes in terms of tone (from what I know of you), but might actually be the harder one to grasp given you´d need to understand the basic ideas about what a magical girl is and the tropes surrounding it.


    The body swapping roleplay is a really short term roleplay which I am thinking of starting for the sake of testing out an idea I had about character swapping bodies, personalities or even players swapping characters entirely , at random , as the main plot of a roleplay. This short term roleplay would be to figure out how to best do this and whether or not people in general would be able to handle such a mechanic appropriately. Most details are still pretty vague.


    The VRMMORPG roleplay is an roleplay I will be GMing soon and will go through two testdrives first, the first one being (hopefully) in early January. It was created with the goal of feeling like an actual video game, but still providing the kind of freedom that a freeform fantasy has. As such, while having limited options like a normal game, it has a massive amount of them. I´ve been working on it for the last 14 months in order to perfect the system , the lore, the options, everything. The first testdrive, the alpha, will exist to give a pratical testing of the combat system

    PM to talk more about what_
    Finally managed to crank out that episode and boy Mahou Shoujo Ikusei Keikaku went out in a blast just as expected! Completely brilliant and in my opinion a true masterpiece! 
    I feel horrible. First time I cried in nearly two years and it was about internet. More specifically the lack of it. 


    The only good part about it was that's i managed to get out of there and into a bathroom before I made a scene. But my hand is red and purple from how much I punched the walls....


    Just found my parents suddenly decided to spend most of our vacations here, where I barely have internet access and definetely can't watch anything in video format cause of how sh*t the wifi is. Even mobile data doesn't quite work.


    I know that with all the terrible things that happen to people, this problem is pretty insignificant and part of me hates myself for the sheer fact I have such a strong and selfish reaction to it, but even so I can't help but feel betrayed. I had such high hopes for these vacations and now I have to re-evaluate everything....

    @[14839:@Kuroko] it doesn't work like that. Even if I was purely hedonistic about this, it wouldn't change the fact that the things I like to do require the internet, many of them (and the others I'm also cut off from). Even if people want me to, I can't just change what I like or dislike like that.


    and even then, it's not purely hedonistic because there is also the fact that there are people to whom i owe my presence and effect. I am, for example, on several RPs here on RPN , some of which I GM. That means that when my internet is actually loading, I will have to go around with the whole pressure of having to do everything as fast as possible. 


    And furthermore every plan I had for my vacation just went down the drain. I can't just upglug from that frustration either...


    @[35376:@Quillicious] I don't you probably didn't mean to, but that was actually a bit cruel, given I can't load videos at all...
    When you have been trying to watch an anime episode for the last 3 hours and the internet is so stupid you can't get past the first 2 seconds...
