Argento-chan

Argento-chan @argent4 I have not. I liked the first anime adaptation, but I usually struggle with remakes or retellings unless they fix anime-original endings or they cover all of the source material, like FMA Brotherhood or the new Spice and Wolf. Is this one worth watching?

Argento-chan @argent4 As for Takopii, hm, it depends, do you like suffering? If so, then maybe it will appeal to you.

Argento-chan @argent4 Yep, Skinner was one of these wasted side characters. They could have done something really interesting by exploring more of his past and what led to the creation of Hapna, it would have made the endind a bit better, too. Hell, there was even an AI modeled after him in that tech cult, but he played such a minor role in the series that it barely made any sense. I wonder if the anime was planned as a one-cour from the start, a lot of those plot holes seem like the result of not having enough time to resolve all the storylines.

Argento-chan @argent4 Oh, by the way, are you watching or planning to watch Takopii no Genzai? That's another story that really suffers from being cut too short. It's such a shame because the first half of the manga is great. I'm even a bit mad after watching the first episode, it was really good!

Argento-chan @argent4 Yeah, Lazarus has a lot of problems. Though, even if the story was bad, I think the anime could have been okay if it had been executed better. Most of the episodes felt like filler, just exposition dumps about the character's backstories, so all the real development was crammed into the few final episodes. That made everything rushed and superficial. They introduced the main antagonist 4 episodes bofere the end, and the entire conspiracy plot was wrapped up in just two episodes. It really makes you wonder what was the point of anything that happened before that. I agree that the main characters ended up feeling pretty one-dimensional. They were basically the same before and after their backstories were resolved. Meanwhile, some side character were completely wasted due to poor writing and pacing. Personally, I think the anime would've been much better if it had hinted at the government conspiracy from the start and introduced Soryu on the earlier episodes, maybe as an assassing targeting Axel for mysterious reasons and interfering with Lazaru's plans a few times. Is there anything you think could have made this anime better?

Argento-chan @argent4 That’s a pretty honest way to describe the gacha pipeline, hopefully those waifus aren’t bullying your wallet too hard. Arson might not be the ideal coping mechanism for financial loss, but hey, props to you for dodging gambling addiction! I didn't know Golshi was so widely loved! I’m glad she's the people’s champion, she deserves it. She's a fantastic adaptation of the real Gold Ship, he is equally as silly. I read an interview a while back where his former jockey said he had two jobs during a race, first, not to piss him off (which meant not using the whip), and second, to pray that Gold Ship actually felt like running. Truly a legendary horse!

Argento-chan @argent4 I still have a long way to go when it comes to meeting and learning about all the Uma Musume. So far, the one I have a soft spot for is Gold Ship, she’s very horsey, I definitely like that. Also, no offense, but playing gacha games for 10 years sounds pretty intense! which one got you into them? Can't think of many popular gachas from back then, only Puzzle & Dragons and Fate/Grand Order come to mind
