JJK is a no brainer here, other than that i'm looking forward to more Mataraku Maou-Sama and Bungou Stray Dogs. I have no self control, so I'll also be watching every single bad isekai this season. Helck is crazy good as a manga but IDK if the anime will go for long enough to get into the interesting parts of it, so i'll chalk that down as a "maybe when i hear how other people like it 6 episodes in".
this time around the bad isekai looks to be "jitsu wa ore, saikyou da", "Level 1 dakedo Unique Skill", "The Most Heretical Last Boss Queen: From Villainess to Savior" for which i went with the english title because its long as hell, and of course the vending machine anime where the guy gets reincarnated as a vending machine.
I just finished this season's Rokudo no Onna-tachi, which was criminally slept on because its premise sounds like it could get squicky (it never does). I also watched uh, Yuusha ga Shinda, Mashle (great but not slept on), and also kamikatsu which I plan on never ever telling anyone in real life I watched.
I'm also watching Bleach for the first time in 2023. People baited me into thinking it'd be bad but the soul society arc slapped. We'll see how the Arrancar arc holds up.
So that's why RF5 is so janky? Don't get me wrong i'm playing it right now and deeply enjoying it, especially getting to see Doug and Margaret kicking around town again, but I have so many issues with this game lol.
The camera lags when you rotate 360 degrees around your character, sometimes the rocks that spawn on your field will be totally invisible until you save and reset, preventing you from tilling certain areas. I'm having some weird lighting issues too but that doesn't bother me really.
On the bright side, they give you a lot of farming room quite fast if you play through the dungeons, and they finally made it possible to be a lesbian! How cruel fate is that allowed me to not get married to Margaret in RF4... For the record, I ended up with Vishnal.
Its one of the best farming games I've ever played, but it's also like... a real ass simulation game. You don't get to grow whatever you want, you will grow rice and you'll either like it or leave. Kept your paddy's water level too high? Mold. Didn't get rid of pests? Disease. Didn't keep enough water in on a hot day? Uh oh, water evaporated and now your rice is under watered. If the waters too cold it won't absorb nutrients right.
It's also 50 percent a action rpg platformer, but don't think you can get around doing the bare minimum in the farming just to play it: your stats are directly reliant on how good you rice farm. No level grinding through combat.
I really enjoyed it but I'm still not sure who the target demographic for this game was. How big is the overlap between "traditional rice farmers" and "action rpg enjoyers"? At any rate, I high key reccomend it if you think you could be interested in rice farming whatsoever, because the story is great too.
No matter how many developers you get, you're never going to have a good product if the guy calling the shots won't allow it. I'm confident that the developers working on Reddit probably know damn well that their product is trash and there's nothing they can do about it because their job isn't "make a good site" its "do what your boss tells you to do"
