Re: KR Gotchard 27 thread

So, the new form looks gorgeous, but wasn't Iron Gotchard's intro... (checks) less than a month ago? I'm hoping the writer's getting all the forms out of the way as fast as he can before telling the story he wants. On to the good parts: at several points, the directing was astounding, and really sel...

Re: Garo Hagane 10 released

Not sure what I was expecting, but it wasn't this; for me, this may be the strongest episode yet. If they had to do a single-episode corruption/de-corruption story, this was the way to do it. They nailed the balance between drama, action, and character building that had been a major challenge for th...

Re: Makai Language

Very much agreed; from what I've seen, whatever they end up doing, it's clear they committed to it Update re. the Forbidden Fruit page: I just noticed the OP includes a few frames of a more detailed view of some of the earlier text; combining it with the first image gave something more consistent, b...

Re: Makai Language

Gate of Destruction page--unlike last time, only a fraction of each line was showing, so the below lines may not connect correctly or even make sense, but I think there's some information to be gained from it nonetheless. The most notable term for me is honoobito/炎人, which I'm dubbing "The Man ...

Re: ASUS Laptop Problem

Sounds like a battery problem. Assuming it's on Windows, then when it's plugged in and on, there should be a battery icon in its list of small icons at the right side of the taskbar; if one clicks it, it will most likely say it's running on power only, but it's possible it will give some a more help...

Re: Makai Language

Progress update--the Forbidden Fruit anatomy page gave us the letter P (from はっぱ/happa/leaves), the last Japanese letter missing! I've updated the font with this, alongside a hyphen (found in the forbidden fruit's right-hand text wall) and a more accurate letter S. I decided to take a look at the fr...

Re: Garo Hagane 09 released

Huh; so yeah, it looks like Souma's angst, willful obliviousness to his father, and, again, messing around with darkness made him the perfect candidate for Mutsugi's scheme. It doesn't help that they’re right next to the Door of Darkness--uh, I mean the Gate of Destruction--which may be closest it's...

Re: KR Gotchard 26 thread

For possibly the first time since Geryon took over as the big bad, it feels like the story's really going somewhere! It's still mostly the villains who are doing the interesting stuff, though Kudou's dad stepping in certainly helped. It also looks like we're going to see what opening the Gate of Des...

Re: Garo Hagane 08 released

Just translated the stone tablet's contents on this thread ; that last sentence is particularly interesting in light of this episode's ending--the tablet mentions that "It's said that the righteous ones of the past have left many behind," and we've just now started to learn why Godou's bee...

Re: Makai Language

Decided to try and transcribe the stone tablet from the latest episode; no idea if the info actually spoils anything, so tagging just in case. Some parts are definitely more accurate this time, but only time will tell for sure Definitely didn't get everything right this time ("yi" isn't a ...

Re: Garo Hagane 08 released

Huh. I remember Gold Storm got a darkness-related upgrade late in, so maybe they got the suit from there? For an episode without a lot of conflict (the Horror fight being incidental and very little even in the way of interpersonal conflict like 3 & 4), this was fairly engaging, with a heck of an...

Re: KR Gotchard 24 thread

Clip show episodes are nearly always awkward, so I'm not sure what to make of a clip show half-episode, especially when the rest of it introduces a major powerup. Likely preferable to a whole clip show episode, anyway. It's probably there because we've hit the halfway point? Interesting that Gotchar...

Re: Garo Hagane 07 released

Losing a knight is always tragic, but I think this could have been avoided if the crew had donned the Hagane before or at least partway into the fight? As Take noted earlier, the main issue is probably the budget, but without a stated time limit to worry about, I don't see an in-world reason why the...

Re: KR Gotchard 23 thread

I'll always be up for a story about well-intentioned and widespread but ultimately shallow and problematic happiness; in this case the problem was more hands-on than philosophical (finding meaning in life through a cult of personality is creepy even without the vampirism. Call it an allegory?), but ...

Re: Garo Hagane 06 released

^ This does feel kind of like a small third party realized YwTM was 10 years old, asked Amemiya really nicely, and could only afford Ryuuga, Zaruba, and the Gold Storm suit (and maybe a paintbrush prop or two). Even the music and sting ubiquitous in the last show is absent here, and the premise of R...
