Journey into Mystery

So, Ace Attorney 5. About fucking time, CAPCOM.

Seriously, not sure if want. Because they just said "yeah, okay, we're making the game" and that's it. So my level of enthusiast or dread will vary depending on the following factors:

a) Main characters: is it Phoenix-tachi or Apollo-tachi?
b) Producer: is it Takumi or Eshiro?

For a, I think it's not a surprise that I'll be "meh" if it's yet another Phoenix story. I'm horribly attached to the AJ cast and their cuteness, and I want to play with them again in a game that's not a hot mess and/or hijacked by hobo Nick. I wouldn't mind if they mention or show the old characters who were M.I.A. in AJ:AA, as long as they have tiny cameos or small roles. Like, if they have Apollo facing Franziska or a thirty-something Miles, I will choke a bitch because they already have their spinoff and I'm sick of their faces by now. I really want more Klavier, but since changing main prosecutors is a tradition, I'll just be glad if he appears at all.

For b... I have a history of RAEG with Eshiro. I'll cry and mourn for the franchise if Takumi doesn't come back, because I'm sure that guy will screw it up again. I have my Disapproval Stephen Colbert gif ready.

Honestly, I think I'm more squee about the new anniversary illustrations because EEEEEEEEH THEY'RE DRAWING MY PEEPS AGAIN AND IT'S ADORABLEEEEE ♥♥♥ The last one is perfect.

outou pointed me out that Pixiv is an effective place for spoilers. On one hand, now I know what I wanted to know. Good, it's not the worst option! It gives me more questions, but they're new questions at least! On the other, now I know the particulars of the thing I vaguely heard they were going to pull, and I think I didn't want to know about that one. The implications of both facts is very D: to the point it's eclipsing my distrust of the game itself with just... staring at angsty fanarts of Japanese fanon forever. Like Waka didn't have enough of those already.

So I guess I'll have to pull my big girl panties and...



Eshiro, you do hate everything I love. But hey, I made a silly animated gif!

And now I'll shut up about Okamiden, at least for a while. Spoilers will surely be in comments, instead of being a normal gal and use a cut.

❝WHICH HOGWARTS HOUSE DO I BELONG IN?❞

Anyway, here's a reflection. Next generation sequels: cash cows, butchers of canon, chances for more cool world building? For my bitter nitpicking over everything Okamiden, it would seem I'm against them as a subgenre. But... no, actually. It's a case-to-case thing to me. Sometimes it works, sometimes it's awesome, sometimes I want to send bomb letters to the one who had the brilliant idea.

( More ranting )

Why am I bringing this rant up? Avatar: The Legend of Korra. I'm not freaked out about it just because it's nextgen. I'll wait for more details to form an opinion. I do like the rumors I've heard (happening 100 years later, Korra being the next Avatar, a waterbender, AND a female: if that's the case, it'll be timeskip legacy OMC-as-dead-mentor nextgen, and it sounds so potentially cool with focusing on a female Avatar this time)
