Sorry for the late reply, but I wanted to get done reading the stuff you suggested, because I knew you would keep bugging me to read them :P So I finished that third one-shot, Heads and Inugami. Tatsumi's stuff is pretty damn amazing, especially considering the time it was made. I feel like it's probably the base for most dark SoL manga. Heads was just fantastic, I love psychological stories, the author of Ikigami delivers (I also saw the Live-action movie it was great :D). Also just got finished Inugami and while the story was pretty straight forward, I really enjoyed the detail in the art. One of the things that really attracted me to seinen was how much effort they put in both the characters and backrounds and in this case gore :D
Unfortunately I probably won't be starting PSME any time soon, but atm I don't really feel like reading something so long. I have a weird complex where its hard to me to start something before finishing the thing before it... but yeah like i said before I just don't like starting long stuff. I'll check up on your manga list for some more rom/drama type titles although due to some recc threads I think I've managed to find some good ones. Also I'm curious about your opinion on airing stuff this season? Any standouts for you?
Yeahh... Still think it's better to overhype an anime rather than rate something low just because it has a lot of followers rating it high. And for your list-tag..Yes it had some sort of input actually. I was comparing what I thought was amazing about Psycho-Pass and what I liked about my other higher rated anime and realized that it was just because I hadn't watched a good anime for awhile that I thought it was the shit. Right after I was interested in what your 2 cents were on the show....and well.. Yep it's not the shit.
And hahah... I was thinking about checkin out LoGH, but not in the mood for a longer series right now.
And yeahh.. I get a little amped the Fuck up. But I was! I was originally watching it through my xbox on hulu... But I got too used to the dub and wanted to finish the dub out. My computer is working again and I'm back in action!
Haha alright sounds good to me! I'll check it out after I FINISH PHANTOM!
Ok, I actually accomplished my goal to watch Cyber City this weekend! It was fun, I rather wish it had more episodes! And yeah, the cursing amount wasn't over the top, just enough to be hilarious because it often resulted in things like "jump up and bite you on the end your dick" classic sort of 90s dub lines.
My plan for this week is to catch up as far as I can on Game of Thrones, then the friend that I'm visiting this weekend gets HBO, so season finale! If I'm correct on which episode airs tonight.
I had series dis good unwatched, leaves hope, Claymore! Gangster anime, do not forget Dogs. The way you describe Gungrave makes me wonder if I can even believe what you are saying. Sounds hilarious, needs to continue after female badassery.
Do you see the similarities Claymore shares with bleach? Because I can't unsee.
Ep5 indeed starts the Teresa arc, and holy shit it was incredible. I almost clapped when Teresa's head fell. I have nothing to add there, really agreeing with you there. Heard a lot of warnings about the end, so maybe that was part of the reason why I didn't start with it sooner + I bought it just like a week ago.
Talking about best single anime episodes, I have to say Dennou Coil ep 19 is the best I've seen, because I always say it is.
I think after 37 consecutive watches in multiple different dubs, commentaries, subs, and many sleepless nights conversing with other avid fans such as myself, I feel I understand it better than most.
But no, I don't think anyone can fully appreciate the breadth of EoE's immense psychosis.
Someone ought find a spoiler from that, but not me! By far I'm positively surprised about the realistic feel, eventful writing and them balls. Characters dying shamelessly without over the top evilness, hmm, not bad.
Just watched the first Claymore DVD and not sure which I want to watch more; it or Gungrave. The night will tell, it seems.
I thought Ni no kuni is ghibli and ghibli is flawless! Terrible parents every single time, but who cares. On a less serious tone, as you would say, Nino doesn't really seem like my type of game, but the le/ce whateverz is pretty rare so I would want to have that on my shelves. I rarely play anything, and I'm more into Nintendo, Zelda, Mario, DKC type of games, you know, the old classics. Next thing I'm going to try is Journey since them german recommended it. Played it?
New Challenger didn't really feel like Ippo anymore. Aspect ration should be the good ol' retro! Ep 13 was another beach fanservice filler where Ippo tried to act like a man and confess, but he failed! Never saw that coming, so I'm beyond shocked, not sure when I can watch more. I did notice you stopping near the end and wondered why so. Some times the wall just comes, ne.

All of my wat. Maybe I should continue with the manga and play that song-thingy while reading. Awesome.
DenyuDen - CG is about the reversal ripoff syndrome, just like LoGH is Guilty Crown ripoff. Diilaa sen kaa. But that vid is enough of a reason for me to not buy it.
LoGH, the one I have is 29.something gb, but I already deleted the first 40 episodes. I saw one torrent with something like 70-80gb, but based to what I've seen, it could be 10gb and it wouldn't matter, ha. I like and I don't like. For example, I watched ep 24-37 in a day and some times it takes me half a year to get motivation to watch one more. That prequel movie was also so retarded that I'm not sure if I can the series seriously anymore.
Yes, this is a Cyber City re-release, Amazon confirms it's one disc. It was re-released twice actually. I got the "Final Collection".
For Henry, luckily both the platforming and puzzle segments complement each other. I thought it'd feel choppy myself, it seems like a terrible idea, to switch between them like that, but it somehow flows really well anyway. I think it gives you enough of a physical break to go over to a more mental task, even in the middle of boss fights and enemy gang bangs. Of course, this only works if you either a) remember that something was about to hit you or b) do it when nothing was attacking. Which takes a bit of practice, I don't get hit all that often during a switch up.
Suikoden V is like $50 or more, of 3-5, it's the only one I recall interest in, but it is a tad pricey for me. Speaking of RPGs, I haven't play any of the RPG trinity on it. Pandora's Tower only just got a US release in April, but Xenoblade is horribly out of print and goes for well over $100 on ebay. At Gamestop, it actually lists as selling for more used than new. I say "lists" because good luck finding someone who actually traded it in there.
Shinjiro is the long red coat, you have him for a month, he dies. He dies well before Junpei's girl does. He's mostly the reason you can buy awesome smash weapons for the main.
I saw that Xbox One video parody, loved it! Those poor sales guys, having to pretend it's the best thing since canned bread. I seriously hope this level of stupid kills the Xbox entirely, I was never a fan. Let this be their Virtual Boy of failure.
Yeah, I saw Jaimie and Brienne's fight, it was awesome!
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.
