View Quote ETA: In the GGO spinoff, this issue is touched on with the tactical group that is using the game for training purposes. They use their teamwork and tactics to wipe out other groups, but then take casualties when they encounter the main character and her ridiculous speed (an issue of mental reaction time being far faster than is physically possible in the real world). Their squad leader throws in the towel, because she is an anomaly that they could never encounter in the real world. |

Earlier in the same arc, he lost an informal match against his sister, because his physical body was too much of a handicap in dealing with someone who didn't have the same level of combat experience, but did have training and match experience in the real world.

I just finished the 3rd series of JoJo's Bizarre Adventure. I understand why this show is loved by so many people. It certainly lives up to its name. The show is packed full of interesting characters, and those characters are given plenty of moments to shine.
The dub is also great. How could you not like Johnny Yong Bosch attempting a British accent in season 1? |

It made me think about how many lives would be left unruined if just one person could have broken the cycle way back.
I also felt kinda bad for the brother. He was probably the only "good" person on the show. Everything he endured for his sister and when he finally gets her back she's fucked in the head and seemingly doesn't care about him and couldn't care less what he went through for her. |

Same sort of comparison can be made in the 'does airsoft translate well to real gun training?' topic. It can help, but there are differences that can cause problems if you focus on one and ignore the other. The growing popularity of VR headsets and first person shooter games for them, presents the same comparison, but moves it one step closer to SAO. |

I keep hoping that we'll get a season two of HSotD, but I doubt it. The brother's decided to make TriageX happen first. Now the one brother is sick and I haven't heard much else on it. I'm thinking that's why they went with TriageX instead of season two.

Question for those that have seen My Hero Academia:
I’m about halfway though S2 and so far it’s okay. However, it is becoming increasingly annoying how it seems nearly every episode Izuku cries his eyes out like some emotional jr high girl that just got dumped in front of the whole school. Without any spoilers can y’all tell me if he ever stops doing that? |

And Coco's crew goes along with it. View Quote There's a point where the viewer says "no, this could never happen", and loses interest. Science Fiction settings shift that point a bit farther away, due to the possibility of something new being developed. Fantasy settings shift that point a bit farther, "because magic". Comedy shows can at least temporarily shift that point, for gag purposes. That point will also vary somewhat for different people. In my case, Jormungand was approaching that point, then said 'fuck it' and blew past it at full throttle. |
