rob-by should stop being such a whiny little bitch. Grow up.

I'm not getting a booster you can't make me =P

Nintendo told the court that “the doctrine of unjust enrichment does not apply when a party voluntarily pays a purchase price and receives a product in return.” Nintendo said plaintiffs “received exactly what they paid for: Nintendo products that Plaintiffs knowingly and voluntarily purchased at the advertised price. Nor is there anything ‘unjust’ about Nintendo retaining money that it may receive from the government as tariff refunds. The fact that Nintendo stands to receive tariff refunds does not give Plaintiffs any legal entitlement to those funds.”

I'm a lifelong Nintendo fan but this is robber baron speak. You don't blame the victim of price manipulation by telling them they deserve to pay unjust prices because they have no other choice than to pay unjust prices or go without. This is the type of shit medieval feudal lords would pull when oppressing peasants. This type of behavior doesn't belong in the 21st century.

I'm a huge fan of isekai - anime where the protagonist is transported to another world to become a hero, or at least live a more important life than the one he had in the "real world"

Examples include:

  • Overlord
  • Saga of Tanya the Evil
  • GATE
  • Mushoku Tensei
  • Ascension of a Bookworm
  • The Hero is Overpowered but Overly Cautious
  • Konosuba
  • So I'm a Spider, So What?
  • Re: Zero
  • How a Realist Hero Rebuilt the Kingdom

There are lots of others, too. Give a few of them a watch and maybe you find out if you like them. A lot of people don't and think isekai are slop, and that's fine. I can't get enough of them.

I absolutely adore Stand Alone Complex, 2nd Gig, and Solid State Society. I also own the light novels, which are nearly identical to the anime, but it seems that the SAC anime came first, and the light novels were written afterwards as a compliment to the anime.

I can recognize some similarity in the art style of this new GitS and Black Magic M-66, which I also own, but I didn't know that SAC was such a departure from Shirow's manga.

That said I prefer SAC exactly as it is, and I love the light novels. I like how it takes itself seriously and Motoko is presented as a strong, aggressive bombshell of a woman. I'll probably skip this adaptation because it just leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I just don't think it holds up to the adaptation which I love and enjoy.
