Explain to me how a second opening can be SO GOOD, just as the series itself gets REALLY GOOD... and the series can still end up as disappointing SUCKY-ARSE. Please.

"The woman I love burns with jealousy, leaps to conclusions, cries, and turns to ice. But when she laughs, the world is mine."
- Yusaku Godai, Maison Ikkoku
"Doesn't that just beat all?"
- Rei, Breath of Fire III
"All men burn with foolish jealousy. But women are fools to take delight in it. The world is full of fools, no matter where you look."
- Horo, Spice and Wolf
"Marriage is bliss to women, misfortune to men."
- Jimba, Suikoden III
I am finally in season 3 now! Yeah, I kinda can't tell if anything has happened sometimes because there are lots of bites happening all over the place that it can be hard to get a mouth full sometimes. Though s2e9 was all the fight, so that was a whole thing dedicated to just that.
Jaime does keep being awesome the more I see of him though. At first I didn't think I'd like him because, twincest, but no, seeing him travel is awesome.
Oh, just to be more awkward about FeMC in P3PSP, Shinjiro, Akihiko, and Ken are now all S. Links. Yes, this does mean you can make Ken into a bf. If you complete Shinjiro's S.Link, rather than die, he'll just be in a perma-coma. It does make the whole thing less depressing the next day with Akihiko getting new dialogue.
After seeing the consoles of the new gen, I'll be sticking with handhelds possibly forever. It's bad enough I have a Wii (except I did get Super Mario RPG, Chrono Trigger, and Netflix on it, and it has maybe ten good games on the whole system, but it could play gamecube games with no string attached, so I can let it slide), but the Wii U? No thanks. Oh and now Xbox One debuted its battle plan, which is basically to let you watch TV through it instead of the already perfectly functioning thing you already own. Also, the Illumiroom looks like the worst idea to "enhance" gaming ever. Oh and apparently, the Xbox One will do this bullshit thing where you can't put a used game in it, it'll force you to pay full price to play it. So no lending shit to friends for a trial run. Oh and of course it won't be backwards compatible, that'd just be silly.
Trust me on Henry Hatsworth, it works with the two things. You pause between them, but you need the puzzle league to get things like power ups and health, and to transform back into young Henry when you fuck up too much and downgrade to old Henry. When you throw a bomb, or boomerang, or a shot, going to puzzle match will up their power before they hit. Also, you don't truly defeat enemies until you kill them by matching in the bottom, they'll come back up from the bottom and attack you on the top. It somehow makes sense for the two to be so interlinked and it's hard to describe why with just looking.
I did get my Cyber City yesterday, I plan to watch it this weekend. $1.37 with free shipping, it's used, but the disc looks golden.
Ok, so I finally ordered Cyber City so you can shut up. US$1.37 with free shipping due to some online coupon code, HA! It's used, but I highly doubt it matters as it's not ex-rental. Please note that I only just ordered it and won't get it for several days.
Lol, don't be too impressed. I think I have a fear of longer series so I usually stick to shorter stuff like OVA's, Movies and even like shorts, commericials music videos etc. I just find that theres a lot more variety and innovation in these formats. I can't tell you how many anime I've decided not to watch just because I thought it was too long and didn't want to waste my time on it. I'll try the longer series 26+ eps once in a while, but only when I know it's actually really good (multiple positive reviews and a recc from someone I trust). I've seen all of Maison Ikkoku (anime) and I really enjoyed it. Also saw the OVA for Please Save my Earth, but I didn't think too much of it, I imagine the manga is much better?
This also applies to manga as well, I'm hoping for stuff fairly short... like 30 chapters or less. I have been making quite a bit of progress lately. The most success I've had is with oneoshots of authors that I was already aware of and I've been more of less following recommendations of romance manga that I've enjoyed, but hopefully your list gives me some more insight.
You no like Psycho-Pass? Lol, I have this awful habit of nut hugging and overhyping shows as I am watching them. I hadn't watched anything for awhile, but i finally realized I had some problems when Monster and Psycho-Pass were rated the same. AND YES... So what if your thoughts on Psycho-Pass affected the way I viewed it.
ahhh Minority Report.... Haven't seen that one in long time. But as for Phantom, I really like it, but I damaged my computer screen and can't watch it comfortably. So I'm pretty pumped about that..
Thinking about watching gungrave and saw it hangin in your top. Might just have start that one up soon.
Contrived coincidences, poor writing (i.e. the whole amnesia shit with Ohgi and Villetta, Lelouch geassing Euphie, etc.), somewhat tasteless fanservice, and so forth. R1 has its flaws and R2 is probably on par with Seed Destiny in terribleness.
Death Note ain't that good, either. There's one thing Code Geass and Death Note do have in common for me - occasionally rewatching the coolest moments in the series (Lelouch first activating geass, Light killing Naomi and her husband, etc.).
Lupus and I have like 84% anime/manga compatibility, so probably not.
Is the movie a decent alternative to the original series ala the original Gundam Movie Trilogy? You haven't seen the 0079 series, though, so probably not a good example.
Yeah, I completely forgot about that shit (Break Blade).
Well I'm mostly avoiding Game of Thrones talk because I am not up to date. I'm still season 2 ep 8 into it (been busy, hopefully will finish season 2 by Monday?) Since most people saw season 2 so long ago, it's hard to discuss it without getting into spoiler territory for me. Once I've ventured into season 3 though, discussion should be easier. I've talked to people in season 3 and they're going "....wait, so what has and hasn't happened yet?" and the last part of what they're indirectly asking makes talking very tough.
I suck at SRPGs, it's why I inexplicably own Jeanne (because I got it cheap without knowing its genre) but haven't really played it much. I'd just get Persona 3 for the PSP, clearly the best version of the game and one of the best PSP games. Crush was a fun puzzle game too, that should be cheap and plentiful. Oh and God of War is always fun.
DS had a lot of good games, I think it had more than the GBA. Obviously though, it had a lot of shit games as well. And a lot of mini game collections. It's definitely looking for a needle in a haystack (which I think Mythbusters proved wasn't as tough as it sounds and dude, just use a metal detector), but there's a lot of great time wasters for the DS. I bring it with me to every doctor's appointment or anything else where I might have to sit and wait for a while. There's also a good amount of visual novel style games, the Phoenix Wright games, Ghost Trick, Hotel Dusk, 999, worth it for at least those. Also, Dragon Quest 4-6 got remade for the DS too, marking the first time 5 and 6 had come out in English.
Henry Hatsworth is mix between time waster and Nintendo Hard. For the first world I'm like "pretty easy, but fun", second world "this is a nice challenge", end of the third world "omg, I think I might actually cry", and now I'm in the fourth world and apparently ~60% through the game? Although the over the top British stereotype of the main might offend your delicate sensitivity (he drinks tea to activate his giant robot for example).
I'm currently a huge fan of your profile pic xD. Btw, you were absolutely right about damn Zetsuen. That surely wasn't the way I expected things to go.
I kept it on-hold till got a hold of the brotag. Now I completed it and set as completed. Awesome. You know, Blue Exorcist blows towards the end, but so does P4. Both end up being an awful watch. Multitasking is the key, otherwise shows like these won't get completed. Enjoyed them Exorcist more tbh. Agreed about dem op's.
But don't tell... you are actually SMT fag fanboy for reasonable reasons? You would be watching with Japanese audio if you had seen Major which would automatically mean you are in love with Goro's voice actor.
When I said DenYuDen's production was cut out, I meant it. Based to what I heard it was originally supposed to be 4 cour series, but this idea got cancelled near the end, and the last episodes came.... messy. Ofc I never bothered to confirm if this was right nor do I've a source for this. I just blindly, and randomly, believe stuff. I watched it a bit over 2 years ago. Liked it almost as much as Code Geass (on the first watch).
I was little surprised to see how you chose the only other "Legend of the X heroes"-title to your recommendation, as I was expecting something like "this was definitely inspired by Berserk." But I guess all the anime ever is ripping of either logh or Eva, so there is no room for Berserks. On the other hand, Code Gayass is supposed to be an awful ripoff of LoGH and DenYuDen shares quite a few similarities with CG, so I see where you are coming from! But you should have mentioned how much less homo DenYuDen is.
I'm pretty obsessed with the series, yes. Been wathing amv's of it like no other. Also, Ryner has one of the longest descriptions on MAL. WONDER WHY.
The problem with LoGH is how ducking epic it tries to be, making it worse than anything I've seen. Such a great pseudo-intelligence and all, but I'm not hooked! Fuck. Liking this would make me look so goddamn smart, but I can't. Maybe it's because I've seen Kyoukai Senjou no Horizon which is like the fun version of LoGH, hmph.
Katanagatari was so ridiculous that it actually became the most brilliant thing I've ever seen. Also Balls.
Oreguirawhatever, watched ep 6 yesterday and recalled the Bakemono collation, and I spotted one more similarity; The MC's hair jumps around just like Ararararararararagi's!!11! Neat.
I dropped Ping Pong club. Might give an another try unless I find some other anime where character flies by waving his dick.
Chikan Otoko, there was some special thanks included in the last chapter or something, but I don't think it had anything to do with OMK's writer. Sounds like people like to use this formula then.
LOL, I honestly have no fucking clue how I did that, I think I just saw a post you made that I agreed with completely, became intrigued, and compared lists. Regardless, how did you survive the dub? Higurashi's dub was one of the only dubs I couldn't stand and it felt like an entirely different anime than before, like a crappier version with bad characters, thanks to the voices. Also, your life seems so cruel, held hostage between two options!
Hey, I'm in the same NTR club as you and I noticed in your list that you said Higurashi ended on its weakest arch (I agree) and I was just wondering if you planned to watch the second season where most of the plot is.
Sometimes we neglect our responsabilities, you know xD.
And about Naruto, I've not seen before or after the timeskip (just short parts here and there), so I can't really say anything, but I did like Bleach's Soul Society Arc, what I didn't like was the sixty-filler-eps arc that followed.
And I really don't know what to make out of those covers of Shingeki. Maybe it'll stop being great, but I still need to see what predicaments has Isayama in store for a giant Eren that knows what he's doing. But I do have to say: I think it's hard to get even better going that way. Don't really know, I'll tell you when I've read/watched that content.
I would say Blood Will Tell is more of a proper adaptation than just being inspired by it. It actually completes the story for one thing and fleshes out character detail. It's just too bad it's all acted by people who can't pronounce a single Japanese word, not even consistently. I'd be ok with wrong if it could at least be consistent, y'know?
