A man of the people, I approve.

KMR just announced on the Rage of Bahamut birthday stream that they're reviving the Manaria Friends anime project.

It would be better if they "revived" BD and other interesting characters in GBF/Shadowverse.

Collaborations and self-indulgence are a fitting end for a failed project.

Let's continue to see off BB:



This wonderful moment...



Also, I missed the moment when Group B managed to have a final with a best-of-two format? Is this the first time in this grand prix? And still, I couldn't win.

What does it mean not to clear out the Dragon Knights? They ended up almost single-handedly winning the battle, destroying three followers and dealing 17 (!) damage to the face. I've played with Midsword for a long time, and it's the first time that both Siegfried and Percival survive a turn and go straight for the attack in the next turn.



And this is from Tier 2. The opponent should have removed Quilin immediately after he became big and scary. He had to spend the entire next turn on retribution.

I've played Midsword countless times, but it's only now that I'm experiencing Siegfried and Percival both surviving a turn and then charging into battle the next.

It happened to me once.

Every day, you interact with unpleasant people in order to earn money, which you then use to buy the things you desire (99% of which are useless trinkets and knick-knacks) or at least just to avoid being thrown onto the scrap heap of life and dying of hunger. The cost of living is constantly rising, and work takes up all your time. At some point, you realize that all you do is work for food, transportation, and a vague prospect. Some people are not satisfied with a standard salary, so they go into "business" - they invest in an unreliable startup, and if you're doing too well, there will always be someone who brings you back down to earth, and you can't do anything about it.
No matter how good and hardworking you are, 90% of it is determined by chance. Put in all your effort, and you still won't be able to overcome the son of a prosecutor or protect yourself from life's misfortunes. By the way, while you're working like a dog to make ends meet, earn money, and try to achieve some kind of happiness in the chaotic game of life, someone else simply buys whatever they want, including that girl you wanted to marry. They can afford it. By the way, if you were not born on the right side of the world, you are by default not fully-fledged, and you will never achieve the same level of life or consumption as those who are luckier.
And somewhere there, on the benches near the entrance, sits society - a poor, starving rabble that loves to gossip about this and that, flatter each other, or criticize those who do not fit into its paradigm. It has no money, it doesn't know how to hustle, it doesn't know how to plan and live within its means, it's just a cheap worm, living off handouts from its government. Therefore, it is extremely happy with any cheap gifts, and for each one, it gladly sits down with a bottle and drinks deeper and deeper, closing its eyes to the fact that it is not even considered a human being, and all the decisions made from above are primarily aimed at interacting with a very small group of billionaire fat cats who support this scheme with their money. Sometimes the plebs think that something is not right in life, but the administration assures them that everything is fine, and they just need to be a little more patient so that everything will be fine.
So, what does this have to do with Shadowverse?

Guys, guys. There will be another unlimited grand prix in September, woohoo, free stuff!
Although, I'm starting to get a bit tired of them. These daily tasks are a pain, and you have to play five matches, and it's not always possible to fit it all in...

Woohoo, free shield!

Although I'm starting to get a bit tired of them.

After six months, players started to suspect something... The best thing about Heroes & Might & Magic in this regard was the gold on New Year's 2016 and doubled rewards for quests during the first anniversary, but that's gone now, and instead, we have silly chests and Grand Prix.

Yes, the grand prix were interesting as long as there weren't too many of them, but the developers overdid it with the frequency. One rotational and one unlimited event in each expansion would have been more than enough. Instead of being a cool and original event with decent rewards, they started to be perceived as just another mundane thing. I won't even mention the chests; the only thing worse than this mechanic is probably getting leaders from gacha.

I also laughed at the poll for esports players from Asia. Maybe it's because I'm used to comparing everything to Heroes of Might and Magic, but it gave me two thoughts. First:
"We stole a feature from Blizzard, but look, we integrated it directly into the game, we made it more convenient, yes, yes! And we also give you two packs right away, not two weeks after the tournament, yes, yes, look, we're better than greedy Blizzard!"
And a little later:
"You know why we give you the packs right away, and not after the tournament is over? Because it doesn't matter at all who wins. All these Asians look the same anyway!" *silly laughter in the background*

Yeah, it’s better if they just give out money. The results are the same either way, maybe the grand prize even offers a better reward, but grinding for it is a pain, and I sometimes even skip the daily quests.

And here comes the first leader.

Am I hallucinating, or were there already two of them?

Seriously, do you really think she's a uniquely beautiful blonde, perfectly suited for the Sylvan faction?

Downy hat.

Dude, are you sure? It seems like a pretty standard, run-of-the-mill blonde for the Sylvan faction.

This one is better than the previous ones.
