not exactly a fair comparison, but I can't help but think of how incredible the Suikogaiden OPs looked when seeing footage of the upcoming Suikoden 2 TV anime...

そろそろ田中ロミオの新作が読みたいぜ（n回目

Anyway, our group will probably be watching Ideon next. Do your worst, Tomino.

I've seen people call Madoka a Ryuki ripoff, and like, come on. There are clear similarities, but you're not getting close to the same experience, because there's more that goes into fiction than broad plot concepts.

Though with highly influential media like Ryuki, it's important not to be reductive about the exact scale of its influence. It's easy to dismiss everything under the sun as an "Eva clone" (or indeed a "Ryuki clone"), but that's willfully ignoring that creators are humans inspired by other humans.

It was also neat seeing all of the themes and character archetypes it popularized. I think we were feeling its influence all the way into the mid-late 2010s, though it's seemingly died down in Reiwa.

Overall a fun show. Long-runners usually feel very repetitious to me, but I enjoyed most of Ryuki's individual episodes on their own merits. Lots of good cheese and a memorable cast.

We finished Kamen Rider Ryuki. The ending was honestly pretty predictable due to how many anime have done similar things, but maybe that speaks to its influence.

Decagrammaton has fully reignited my passion for Blue Archive, which is no mean feat given that I've been playing this game for close to four years now. The new team has shown us what they're capable of; if they can keep this up, I'm not escaping the hold Nexon has on me any time soon.

proof that normal MD gameplay is 🔥

the 78 page yomikiri in this month's Yurihime was pretty great

TLWiki should receive royalties whenever a Subahibi meme goes viral on TikTok.

I tried her early on and couldn't really get her to do much. Might have been different if I'd come back to her when she had enough skill points for all of the equipment upgrades.

An easy recommendation for anyone who loves JRPGs, Touhou, or both. I'm glad such a fantastic game was born out of the Touhou culture.

Also, the story is surprisingly decent. It needs an editor and a much larger font, but 3peso has a good handle on Touhou concepts and offers solid takes on all of the characters featured.

Lunatic mode offers a nice balance of challenge and satisfaction. I strongly recommend starting on it; you can always turn the difficulty down later if it proves too much.

It's been a while since I've been so engrossed in an RPG's systems. It brought back memories of playing games like Rance Quest Magnum and Gears of Dragoon a decade and a half ago. Some RPG Maker games have scratched a similar itch, but they lacked the extra layer of polish LoT3 possesses.

Finished Labyrinth of Touhou Tri on Lunatic. A masterpiece of JRPG design and imo the best Touhou fangame ever. The dynamic combat system and highly varied bosses it allows for are the highlights, but the dungeon crawling and farming are addictive in their own right.
