  • There’s so many works I’ve seen that I wish were created by someone other than their author/studio.

    Mild example: Yesterday, a clip from an anime popped up in my Shorts feed, and it looked cool so I went to the comments to see if I could find the name. Right at the top, I see a comment I left saying “Don’t watch this, everything after episode 1 was incredibly mid. The plot sounds awesome when you describe it but in execution it was so fucking bland”. I don’t even remember leaving that comment.

    (The anime in question was Daily Life of Immortal King. Protag is born with Ultra Instinct and only gets more powerful over time, so his family puts a magic seal on him to keep his power at the mere ultra-instinct he was born at. The anime follows him as he tries to keep a low profile at Xianxia hero school.)



  • Honestly, my main motivation here is to pick all of your brains to see how many different category-words there are, then change my game plan to react to the natural language words. For example, if we didn’t have words more specific than Animal, Plant, Fungus, and Bacteria, I could slap a four-color mana system on that and call it a day. Obviously that’s not the case, but in the unlikely system that I can describe all of creation using only 20ish names i could imitate Cardfight Vanguard and make them into a sort of clan system and do lots of clan-exclusive comboing off each other. Any more than that, I imitate Magic instead: certain cards care a whole lot about types (e.g.: Kavu you control are red in addition to their other colors, Red creatures you control have haste) while others pay more attention to subtypes (e.g.: Tap 12 Allies you control: draw a card) and other just don’t discriminate, affecting everything or nothing.
