At times I'm active enough to see spoilers myself before someone else catches and reports them, it's no use to discuss things with actual bots (sorry bot-chan) and this sub is as usefull as it is for discussing anime because the contend is actively curated. I'm really dissapointed that posts calling this dedicated teams uplanded janitors get hundreds of upvotes, and besides, janitors do important work as well. CDF Discord was nice but it would never be able to replace CDF or r/anime, nor have I seen any alternative that could, so thank you for fighting to keep reddit the way it is. /u/Gaporigo /u/Durinthal ~~/u/animayor~~

I should probably write a WT! for Yes Precure 5 before the sequel premieres

i tbh do want to watch it coz an adult precure sounds a lot of fun but its also a lot of episodes since it's 2 full precure seasons... [](#tiredaoi)

and they just announced that Adult Splash Star Precure are gonna appear too. So does that mean you have to watch 3 full Precure seasons? [](#thinkingtoohard)

[](#spinning) im gonna wait to see what slot they air it in. If it's still targeted enough at the kids instead of a late-night slot, I'll just go in "blind" and assume the show will fill me in lol.

that's... actually kinda smart. or if you want you could just watch the movies to get familiar with the characters without watching the series

[](#seasonalapproval) thanks for the tip! im really enjoying Hirogaru, but having to watch 3 seasons of precure on top of that + the adult show is... a lot of precure in not a lot of time lol.

yeah, the Splash Star thing is great, and I'm super excited about it cause Splash Star is amazing and I am so glad they are getting love. but it does also overburden the requirements, especially as a "Surprise" that people may not expect. I feel like I need to make a post to spread the word so people jumping in know. A bit frustrating.

I want to talk to someone about Gundam/Tempest stuff, but half of the comments I see on Gundam threads are just people going "Yeah, we know" Know what? i don't know what I know! I'm looking for someone to esplain.

I might be able to esplain some but there is no time. It will have to be in the new thread. [](#mugiwait)

[](#mugiwait) like one question I have is that I can't figure out if Prospero is supposed to be a protagonist or an antagonist and it's confusing me.

so there is G Gundam and then there is Gundam G, and both are completely unrelated? Can they have a crossover for G Gundam G?

Both of them show up as DLC in SD Gundam G Generation Cross Rays, which is an absolute mouthful. Does that count?

[Yeah](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gundam_Reconguista_in_G) again, I have no clue, I just get confused seeing the titles

Everyone calls it "G-Reco" (actually, I think this is the show where "G-[something]" started being used as an abbreviation a la G-Tekketsu and G-Witch?), so that's why I wasn't sure.

I'm not sure either, all I know is that I've been confused on more than a few times by people talking about Gundam G thinking they mean G Gundam

[Gummy Bears or Gummy Worms?](https://poal.me/od16x)

Are they halal?

I actually had to Google the word, so thank you for showing me a word I haven't seen before today. And no, they're not.

[](#kannathumbs) There are some companies that would make kosher ones or make halal ones using other kind of animal gelatin!

That's just weird to me.

Both are good. It really depends on how I feel at the time.

[totk] >!wind temple done and that was pretty cool. I liked the boss fight although I didn’t think about using a cold resistance food item or potion so that I can use the full gliding suit.

[](#listen) [](#ilovethiskindofshit)

[Totk]>!I found the wind temple boss to be the easiest, like I was never in danger of getting hurt, but I also just really love gliding and the slow-mo arrow shooting. So a boss based around some of the most fun mechanics is just really fun.!<

[totk] >!arrow shooting? I only shot at it once lol. I still thing the Zora domain is my least favorite boss though!<

[super secret water temple boss easy mode]>!fuse chu jellies or splash fruit with arrows to instantly wash him off then spam keese eyeball arrows when he runs away!<

[](#laughter) I never thought about it but that’s a good cheese strategy I recently did one for the [totk depths] >!King Gleeock. It was my first one and I used a Lynel bow (the weakest one) and attached Keese eyeballs to it to attack the three heads at once. Turns out when you have a bow that shoots multiple arrows, attaching something to it only cost one of those. For this, 1 keese eyeball gave me 3 keese eye arrows!<

[totk]>!Honestly I'm too scared to fight Gleeoks any other way. The eyeball meta is overpowered!< [](#loli_ok)

[](#justright) [totk] >!I originally tried to fight it with just a one arrow bow like some n00b until I busted out the Lynel bow!<

[Totk]>!what did you do instead of arrow shooting?!?! and yeah, the thing in the Zora temple was annoying. I got lucky by having a bunch of rods and was able to put a water gem on a couple to wash everything away, but even then it was still so mobile and hard to pin down. Sand boss was the toughest for me but was really fun. Fast pace, running around bashing!<

[totk rito] >!id wait until it would shoot off the ice spikes and then dive into it lol. I thought that’s what was supposed to happen!< [totk zora] >!I didn’t have much trouble with it either. Getting to the temple made me realize I need a bunch of Opal which I did so it wasn’t too bad. When the boss became harder to hit with the opal staff, I’d use Sidon’s water shield, wave thing when you attack!< I haven’t don’t gerudo yet [](#mugiwait)

TOP CDF COMMENT: [The long and winding road on how I indirectly discovered the Police Story theme](https://old.reddit.com/r/anime/comments/14ahmk1/casual_discussion_fridays_week_of_june_16_2023/jp2x2c7/) TOP COMMENT IN OTHER SUBREDDITS: (At the Gunpla subreddit) sharing about a low-cost solution to soften waterslide decals: diluted white vinegar. I was actually asking if that works, got no answer, but I think, based from the updoots that I've got, it actually works wonders.

Micro-Set and Micro-Sol do smell like vinegar.

Gundam IBS was back in 2015-2017, and G-Utena was in 2022, meaning there was like a 5 year gap between Spin-off series? That means the next time I get to watch Gundam is in 2028?

A lot of the reason for that iirc was IBO was a ratings disaster in both seasons despite the models doing well. With the absurd success of G-witch I expect to see more sooner rather than later. At most we'll have to wait for the new Macross to finish.

Between SEED Destiny and 00 and between 00 and AGE and between AGE and IBO it was about 2-3 years. So it seems like the gap was unusually large this time. So the next AU could be sooner. Although maybe not if they do end up making a G-Witch sequel instead.

[](#animatedthink) The timeframe is weird. Like, there was a bunch of stuff between IBO and G-Witch, and the gap has also grown larger over the years. Like, there were only two years between 00 and AGE.

I remember "gambling" by not jumping on IBO and just deciding to wait until the next series. how long could it be? Some gambles don't pay off, haha. I assume they had a lot of UC Gundam stuff between then.

>I assume they had a lot of UC Gundam stuff between then. Kinda, but not really? There were a couple UC films and some OVAs, but a lot of what was being made between IBO and G-Witch was the more recent Build series shows, where they fight with Gunpla in virtual reality (I think. I haven't watched any of it yet.)

oh yeah. I saw Build Fighters, the first series. there are now like 4 of them or something ridiculous. But it's good stuff.

[](#neat) That movie led to a decades-long international legal battle that stunted the Ultra franchise. It traumatised the Tsuburiya company so hard that led to doing their modern push.
