My wife watched it along with me when I first watched it. Her main reaction was that they killed off the only good character about 3/4 the way through.

Re: Avatar: The Last Airbender (WTF is your avatar/sig from?)

Asuka being well known to most of the Stable Diffusion/NAI based models out there (even non-anime models will generate a picture of a red-head when prompted by name) means that generating art of her has become democratised https://thumbs4.imagebam.com/bf/60/b5/MEK0VYP_t.png art deco propaganda poste...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

In the end, Shadows House S2 recovered well from the first season's uncertain adaptation, and reached a logical pausing point without rushing matters. Verdict: Good, recommended. The split-cour Case Study of Vanitas was, let's say, interesting, though the mood whiplash from drama to slapstick and ba...

Re: Writing first fic: author resources (gen and spec request)?

Unfortunately, one of the best authors' guides I've read, a piece I saw on Usenet 30-odd years ago, has vanished into history; but the main advice I remember from it is to involve as many of the five senses as possible in your descriptions. > Basically, the words attached to dialogue.

Re: Share Your EVA Fan Art Here

Been spending way too much time in recent weeks prompting AI in an effort to illustrate stories I wrote decades ago - but, given that the canonical "is this switched on?" test is a rendering of Asuka, I took a break and played around doing a Thrice-inspired Shikinami-series gen - https://t...

Re: What anime are you watching right now? Summer 2016 to now

^ StrikerS suffered from the team not knowing what to do with the extended length, and ending up with wild swings between action and extended on-the-fly lore creation. There's a peak about episode 17, then another trough, before the grand finale. Compared with the multiple re-watches of S1 and A's ,...

In the form of self-bootstrapping general AI, then that is a common scenario for a technological Singularity in speculations on the subject -a hard-takeoff SysOp Event, in the turn-of-the-century jargon for the subject, manifesting as something along the lines of EoE 's Third Impact.

Re: Writers Help

I think you mean "alleviate the problem". If you're doing this in writing, you would need two distinct storytelling styles for the two parts to carry off the conceit; possibly as extreme as between objective third person for the video record bits, and first person subjective for the contra...

by enlarge That's "by and large". It's worth noting that in a poll done a few years back, men opted more for cute girl anime, and women for mecha titles, mostly on the strength of bishonen pilots ( Gundam Wing being the obvious exemplar here). One can also remark that Utena had a stage pl...

Re: The newest most accurate EoE subs to date are out

If you have an existing video, and separate subs, then you can mux them in with appropriate shift and stretch with mkvtoolnix . The subs will have one set of timings in; time for yourself when the first and last dialogue items are in the video. Shift to match up the start, then if needed stretch/squ...
