Losing Misty made me stop watching for a long time, losing Brock even longer...

New Brock is also somehow a dumber character.

Apparently... there is an x-men anime.
I misread that as X-com anime. Twice. I should really pay more attention.

I'd totally watch a X-com anime!

It would suck... but I'd still watch it.

I think if i truly was an X-com anime, the cast would change almost every episode due to X-com's infamous mortality rate.

Or an X-com Anime would revolve around a surprisingly competent squad, that doesn't die as often as their red shirtgrey coverall comrades.

Knowing how X-Com works, though, they would all die pretty quickly though. I guess it would be like an anime version of The Dawns Here Are Quiet, which would be pretty cool.

The person supporting regenerating health, when asked why you can see when shot in the eye justified it as 'you put on an eyepatch'. When asked what happens when you are then shot in the other eye, he said that you put an eyepatch on that eye. When asked how you'd be able to see, he said that your first eye would have healed by then.

Sometimes I wonder why many anime even bother with other characters when the main one does everything himself.

I guess it is because they are always the most boring character in the show.

Depends if it is full on Shounen or a more grim anime like Shingeki no Kyojin/Claymore.

Yeah, that's very much a shounen trope, and it doesn't even pop up in every shounen series. Pretty much nothing outside of that actually follows that formula (that is, there is a central protagonist who does everything despite having purportedly competent allies). Claymore is, incidentally, a damned good example of a large cast where most of the characters advance the plot and carry their weight. Hell, two separate child-sidekicks turned into badasses in their own rights, including one who was a completely normal human in a setting full of superpowers and house-sized monsters.

So I checked out this new game that I found in the Nintendo Eshop, Attack of the Friday Monsters. Usually I don't buy new games that I have almost no knowledge of, but I had a good feelings about this one.

And I was right, holy shit is this game just filled to bursting with personality. It's like a Studio Ghibli game, complete with Japanese dubs with English subs.


This is just a very charming experience.

If there was an XCOM anime, it would focus on the command crew having to send people on hopeless suicide missions on a daily basis.
