Since the bandwagon for this has appeared...

[Captain Cadaver]

Haven't seen Gurren Lagan and only know key details about it. From what I know, Kamina is quite an entertaining and charismatic character, but not wholly his own character, as most of his key scenes, including his most important one, are just tributes to Ashita no Joe. Don't imagine giving him a score any higher than 5/10.

What do you think about Alucard (Hellsing) ?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Alucard's character represents Hellsing in a nutshell; extremely cool in both design and actions, but with about as much depth as a puddle after a hot summer's day. Not much more to say beyond that.

5/10

What would be the most overpowered U7 team possible ?

What would be the most overpowered U7 team possible ?

I assume this is only counting canon characters?

Cell's got to be on there for sure due to his haxed techniques, as well as Freeza's cells allowing him to become the main threat of the team with enough training and Zenkais before the match, especially now that Gohan going from his Boo Arc Ultimate self to SSB tier in a few hours is a thing. Dabura also has to be on there due to his spit, plus his other magic allowing him to be a useful support player. Other than that, I don't think there's any more additions that could be that useful. Ginyu's Body Change would be something other teams would quickly catch on to. Gurd's time freeze won't work when Hit's around and he'd probably only be able to use it a few times anyway. Akkuman can't kill, making him useless here and Arale's a gag character so her feats don't count.

In other words, the only changes I'd make to the roster would be replacing Ten and #18 with Cell and Dabura, seeing as how Ten was a complete jobber and #18 has nothing #17 already covers far better. As far as additional prep to make the team even stronger would be to have Piccolo fuse with all the Namekians minus Dende and Moori, as well as have Goku take the Potara just in case, seeing as how despite it whittling the roster down by one, a UI Vegetto would certainly be able to stomp Jiren.

If you could lose 10 years of your life as an elderly to gain the physique of SHOULDER MASTER TENSHITHANDS, would you do it?

 

[Keedounan]

If you had to turn Kuririn into a cyborg, how would you portray him ?

As long as I don't become as much of a jobber as him.

Well, for one, he'd have a pretty good reason to say "I'll be back". :Krillin

As an actual character, I don't think he'd change that much. He'd probably have a soppy moment of saying whilst it's a bit weird, he's at least glad to have more in common with #18. As far as powerscaling goes, logically it'd make him practically unbeatable given the gains Artificial enhancements provided for two teenagers. In order to keep the plot grounded though, I'd have his power only go to Blue tier at the most through it in the current arc, or instead make him an energy absorption type instead to allow his power to constantly fluctuate, with it reaching either SSB or Kaioken Blue levels at his peak.
I do feel making him a cyborg/android/artificial human at all would sort of tarnish his character though, seeing as how his main appeal is not being the strongest guy in the room and just giving his best effort despite the odds.

What do you think of Joe Pesci? Hilarious fellow.

He really is funny like a clown, with his performance in Goodfellas being the particular stand out of his career. He's not without lows, however, such as that rap song he made being pretty awkward to watch.

Never heard of the rap though. Still very underrated actor as-well, I think.

Indeed.

Another question: what do you think of Freeza's relationship with Goku ?

Opinion on Rosario Vampire?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Another question: what do you think of Freeza's relationship with Goku ?

It seems to be a pretty realistic attitude towards the turn of events that's lead up to the current arc. The way Freeza interacts with Goku with a somewhat friendly and stern demeanour help highlight the juxtaposition of Freeza's mannerisms that made his role in the Namek Arc so well done. He's probably the character I most look forward to seeing in each episode of the ToP because of this.

Opinion on Rosario Vampire?

Generic harem that sticks with it's worst trope of making a little beta cuck be the guy all the girls want and turns into a generic battle Shonen in some areas. Could only tolerate 4 episodes before dropping it. Only good aspects were stylistic things such as pretty much everything Nana Mizuki was part of (voice acting of Moka and the openings/endings).

3/10 at most.

 

[Keedounan]

I have an idea on your opinion on it (in fact, I thought it was overrated), but what do you think about Toradora, assuming you've watched it ?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Haven't seen it, but know enough about it to give some judgement. The show has the obvious flaw of being your typical high school rom-com and having an annoying Tsundere as the female love interest, though at least takes enough time to focus on the characters as to not have them feel like cardboard cutouts and seems to do the typical idea far better than those that would come after it with similar premises such as Nisekoi. Not as bad as most similar series, but not standing out as decent beyond it's peers either. Would probably give it no more than a 5/10.

 

[Keedounan]

What about Shakugan no Shana ?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Haven't seen it, but know enough about it to give some thoughts. Since it existed at a time when the Urban battle Shonen + harem rom-com combination hadn't been done to death (*cough*Fatestaynight*cough*), it at least warrants praise in that area, though only if you forget 3x3 Eyes did the same thing in the 90s and didn't boil down to a beta male and loli Tsundere beating people up. At least the beta male actually matures to the point he even becomes a villain for a while in the third season, making him infinitely better than similar characters of the archetype. This is pretty much where praise for the series also ends, as whilst the first season seems tolerable, the second season ruins it by having the Tsundere's confession of love be forgotten and instead the pair just do filler missions, with the third season just being your typical light novel mess of cheap plot armour, nonsensical plot and loli fanservice. Can't imagine giving it any higher than a 2/10.

 

[Keedounan]

What about Baccano ?

 

[Captain Cadaver]

Baccano is a series that gets praised by many for it's non-linear storyline, much like Pulp Fiction. The difference is that Pulp Fiction actually holds up as it's own story even if told in a linear manner, whereas this gimmick is all Baccano has going for it. It's characters are all entertaining, particularly Isaac and Miria, as well as , but not well developed. Just fairly fleshed out. The Rail Tracer story arc is decent enough and whilst I don't have much to complain there, I also have little to say about it beyond rule of cool. The story arc with the demonic immortals are whatever was terrible due to it's execution coming off like a poor man's version of Father and the Homunculi from FMA, coupled with the fact that this supernatural element breaks the immersion of the setting as only a light novel can.
Overall, Baccano is a style over substance series that whilst entertaining for about 50% of it, doesn't have the depth to have me view it as great or enough unique rule of cool to the level to bring me back to it.

5/10
