THE QUESTIONS MEME

A first big 'n successful round of apps has concluded and the game is getting off to a roll - since there are always brains to be picked and new pals and acquaintances to be made, how's about we all play a little getting-to-know-you game?

HOW TO PLAY:
• Leave a comment below with your name and the characters who you play.
• Respond to others' comments with questions - they can be about their characters, their current in-game plans or things they'd like to play, their CR, RP in general, their canons and fandoms, or most anything else.
• Answer questions you've received! Keep it short or TL;DR to your heart's content, depending on how much you have or are in the mood to say!
• After each answer you give, ask a question back to the person who answered you. Keep the thread of questioning up for as long as both parties are game!
• Go for it - make friends, make new plans, make anything you like!

I have never heard of this anime, please give me the cliffnotes on why it is super great cause I am super curious (spoiler away if it is cool!)

Since he is super powerful, does it become hard not to make him too OP when writing threads?

Oh man, I have a lot of Feelings on why this anime is great and most of them come down to the fact that it's hard sci-fi that's really grounded in realism, and raises some excellent questions about the socio-economic implications of what would happen if an incomprehensible higher intelligence were to suddenly gift mankind with the answers to all of their problems (spoilers: it doesn't go well for anyone involved, especially not for the aforementioned higher intelligence). It's written by renowned sci-fi author Nozaki Mado, and the cinematography, direction, and soundtrack are all phenomenal.

The major drawbacks depend on how easily you can get used to the hybrid CG/traditional animation style, and an ending that will absolutely make you suffer.

He is super powerful, but that's mostly as a result of the devices he has with him in canon (which he doesn't have access to in Prisma), and the principles of dimensional boundaries set by the rules of his canon. Fortunately, I don't have to worry too much about him being super OP in RP, because he's a fundamentally benevolent entity, and isn't even remotely prone to violence unless his (admittedly very alien) sense of logic dictates that violence is the most efficient and effective solution to the problem at hand.

Your turn! I have watched a playthrough of P5, so I'm at least passingly familiar with the canon. Which was your favorite Palace?

Ahh yes the Hybrid CG / Traditional Animation Style. It's gotten a lot better than earlier examples (god flashbacks of a few anime come to mind like Nazca, you can almost feel the 3D render struggling to make the fog...

And that's good. As I said in the intro post it will be interesting to see how he interacts with Ren.

I think Okumura's Palace was my favorite in terms of music and design, but I had the most fun in Nijima's.

Did you consider other characters when apping into this game?

[fractaljesus]

The CG in Kado is actually really good. Here's a trailer if you're interested.

Honestly, I really didn't! I saw that the world the game takes place in is a technocratic society and that decided it instantly, because zaShunina's major objective in canon is to bring advancement to humanity by providing it with hyper-advanced alien technologies, so he's kind of a perfect fit for the setting. Plus jellyfish.

Alright then, same question back to you.
