@ani.socialIMO the story of the two sisters is the best - the greedy hiding a universal human desire to be seen, the situation in Earth becoming shitty even if they genuinely cared about each other, simply because they did not see what the other was going through.
They also picked a rather fitting ability for the onee-san: since she felt like her youth was stolen, she is able to steal the youth of the others.
Sensei calling Wolff a playboy and telling him to shut up was also funny.
KS had some impact on me learning Braille. Okay, perhaps not as much as Aldous Huxley saying that it's comfy to read with your head under blankets, but still.
The gameplay was hit or miss, I guess. Pokémon plays out like a typical turn-based RPG; Monster Rancher was management + action based. For me the fun part was fighting against time to get a perfect monster, it was surprisingly hard to do so (limited lifespan, the need to train good coaches beforehand, etc.)
A few games actually had different models for the sub-breeds, besides rehashing the old mons. Like MR4:
It could be worse. Like, Pixie (Monster Rancher) tiers of worse:
(I liked the MR games way more than Pokemon or Digimon to be honest. Also screw Octachrome.)
Great parallel between
Yumiella's main power is not her level. It's her poker face!
The king and the queen sound surprisingly reasonable, in comparison with their idiot of a son. It's clear what they were trying to do with Yumiella (gauge the threat, minimise the threat, bring her to their side), but it's rather transparent and non-manipulative.
Glasses guy was cringe as fuck, it was fun to see Yumiella chewing him out. On the other hand Eleonora sounded like a silly girl in love.
The "oh crap" moment for the maids finally arrived! I was surprised at how she handled Diana; she realised that her lack of empathy was due to a different background, and was able to use it for her own advantage.
And she keeps charming the prince without even realising it. Like... "I pay so much attention to you that I realised that you have an old wound, that most people wouldn't even know about"? Yeah, I can relate to him falling for her.
