It's funny because I don't understand it at all. Fanboy buttrage that is. People understand the meta circumstances behind that ending but seem to mentally isolate it from the ending's contents. The Evangelion ending was similar, Gainax ran out of money, yet people still criticize them for it? The emotional investment is too weird.
At least people don't criticize Togashi for being chronically ill which is why he can't finish Hunter x Hunter…oh wait.
There's also the issue of whether Mikasa even CAN become a Titan. She's not Eldian, after all. I'm not even sure she's part-Eldian like I think Levi is.
If that's true, I think Eren would be better served eating Annie rather than giving Annie to another Eldian. He would (presumably) gain Annie's combat experience and Eren's ultimate goal is to unite all nine titans anyway.
I have a suspicion, too, that the Founding Titan lineage is the only one that can be combined with the others.
The general assumption was Makie, wasn't it? Given she was consistently number 1 in the popularity polls and how she was acting in the final chapter?
And way to reply to a post I made 9 months ago.
I think Ken did well here. There's a lot of butthurt shippers calling him "Hackamatsu" but I think if you're being intellectually honest, it's a very satisfying, closure-giving choice.
I'll say this: there were clear winners and losers here. Harem mangaka are famous for cop-out pairings, to avoid a winner/loser scenario which angers shippers who drive their sales. Mangaka often settle on the first girl, the normal girl, or the girl who polls really well - who is usually the first girl, but can be different as in the case of Ichigo 100% and its awful ending.
Akamatsu stuck to his guns and picked the girl he developed, and I think that's great. I'm not sure you'll be fully satisfied, but I think TLC would love it.
The contrast between the artstyles is really jarring for people.
Reiner's development has been top-tier. It hasn't redeemed the manga by any stretch for its plot choices, but it's showed Ishiyama has matured as a writer. It also showed that whoever is his editor does a dang good job of focusing him. If only Oda's editors had the balls to tell him to knock it off with the worldbuilding overkill.
Is he actually going to give a proper epic mega finale to the previous series that he so royally screwed us on? It's cool that the story points are there but… still not going to ever get real proper closure on the old cast?
The answer is YES.
And we finally found out WHO WON THE NEGIBOWL_!!!!_
GYAHAHAHAHA!!
Uehehhehhuhuhuhuhu!!
It's not a one-year deal. Most likely case is Durant re-ups with Golden State after next year when the cap raises.
Durant's situation isn't like LeBron and Cleveland. LeBron grew up in Cleveland, Durant is from DC. The Decision was literally the local kid spurning his hometown leaving for the bright lights of the city.
Durant is buddies with Golden State's Death Squad and he likes their style of play, as opposed to his fall out with Westbrook (warning: BR)
LeBron beating the Warriors almost certainly is what allowed this to happen - since it showed that villains can be redeemed in the NBA - and also that the Warriors can be as mortal as anyone in the postseason due to injuries and slumps. Golden State's vaunted well of depth ran dry at the end. The player most singularly responsible for blowing Games 5-7 is Harrison Barnes, who plays Durant's position and does it worse than him.
The biggest take home of the Durant signing isn't that he improves GSW's regular season chances. He immensely improves their postseason in part by taking out OKC as a threat. Suddenly, GS only has to fear the Spurs, and Duncan is allegedly going to retire.
OKC had its run, but really, they basically gave up the ghost by being cheap and trading James Harden. What happened in 2016 wasn't the beginning of a new era, but shining brightly before the end of one.
On paper and based on regular season performance, the Spurs were much, much better than OKC. OKC was a solid playoff team, but this year's Spurs were literally one of the best teams of all time. FiveThirtyEight spotted the Spurs a 70% chance of victory in Oklahoma tonight in spite of the two stunning losses in San Antonio.
This was an utter meltdown by the Spurs, amazing to behold. I don't think anything in the playoffs will top this amount of excitement.
Congratulations, OKC. If this is Durant's last season in Oklahoma, he sure is ending it on a high note.
My current smartphone:
CPU: 1.7 GHz dual-core
Memory: 1.5 GB
LTE
I'm looking at the following phones:
#1
CPU: 1.4 GHz quad-core
Memory: 1 GB
#2
CPU: 1.5 GHz dual-core
Memory: 2 GB
LTE
Which one of these will have overall superior performance (including battery life) to what I already have? I have a Live Background app, which does a lot of passive rendering of stars floating across the screen while idling. My current phone handles it fine, but both of those CPUs are weaker than mine. There's also a memory drop between them.
I don't really need the LTE. I intend to use a GSM card that doesn't have data, and use connect to wifi for internet. I want to keep my phone provider, and ISP separate (privacy reasons).
15-0
But the Lakers beat them last year. If they do lose to the Lakers, and given the near loss to the Nets, the Warriors will never get the critics off their backs. I mean even the 95-96 Bulls players are bashing the team right now.
