This just sounds like a popularity contest.

More than Spirit had.

DOW is >50000 right?

Only tertiarily related to dungeon meshi. The first season was lighthearted fun. The second season, after a not so bueno beginning, has managed to capture most of that. It’s essentially a slice of life juxtaposed against the modern fantasy isekai. No stakes.

If you enjoy the absurdity of everyone being a gourmand, including fantasy creatures, then this will fun for you. If you are super cereal and must have a world ending disaster driving your narratives, then this is not.

Hopefully the rest of the season is better but I’ve been disappointed with what’s been released so far and my expectations weren’t even high.

I prefer shorter shows so here’s some that tell a complete narrative even if the timeline itself may not be that long.

Cowboy Bebop

Your Lie in April

Welcome to NHK

Ping Pong the Animation

Moribito - Guardian of the Spirit

Silver Spoon

Calling some of these masterpieces is more than a stretch. Maybe cultural phenomenons is more apt.

The price point most definitely isn’t static. Before we get into actual price points there’s DLC and whether or not that’s free or how it’s priced. But for actual games there’s an $80 price point, a $70 one, and a $60 one if you want to cherry pick and only discuss “console” games. There’s still plenty of games releasing at $40 or even $20 and those are *also released on consoles but likely don’t get physical releases. Don’t act like these companies don’t have leeway to set their own prices for what they produce.

I don’t think many people are expecting a GTA or BG3 amount of content. Yea those are outliers. The problem arises when your game is the same or greater in price as those. Your game better be one hell of a unique experience if you expect people to be satisfied with that price point.

That’s recency bias. The PS3/360 era had lots of variation on price for games.

It doesn’t need to be based on playtime. It’s honestly weird to base price exclusively on that. Quality isn’t easy to define for video games but if you explicitly say your game is lesser than a counterpart… maybe it’s not worth as much.

So it’s priced accordingly right? Right?

I’m just here for the Seventh Seal picture. Y’all can ignore me.

These are all normal words…

I get that cultural change is happening but how much better, if at all, are these employment numbers compared to the Japanese norm? I very much doubt that the touted “great” employment of the article is that great if we didn’t compare it to entire other cultures. Maybe Sony’s Japanese employment would be a good comparison?

Isn’t the latter true for basically all of Japan?

Miyazaki is always the answer.

Gotta go with the plastic cap + spray nozzle combo. It’s really the superior way to open.

How is this still being made? I don’t understand how people still watch this drivel after the ending of season 1.
