Don't sweat it man, i wouldn't have had time to answer anyway, school is crazy lately.

Yeah, twins are way too good, but they need more screentime, specially considering they only got one line in ep 7, right after the one when they were introduced, i just hope they aren't there just for kicks and actually end up doing something, same goes for the mailwoman.

15gb? i guess you fixed the dowlonding prolblem with your ISP if you're downloading something like that, on a related note i still need to watch FSN, or get the visual novel since i've heard it's better, but goddamnit those things are long.

SOA is good, a really cool take on Korean folklore, i learned more from Korean tales from that manga that in my whole life, and Munsu is, like i've said a number of times, a sad badass, even if his backstory drags, and just wait until some characters that are related to Munsu's past start appearing, they're awesome as well.
Shame with Pandora i guess, the story sounds good.
I can stand shoujo, at least most of it, except the characters, they just seem so bland and blerg.

I can't think of any GREAT series that you haven't seen already except for Boggiepop and Paranoia Agent, might want to try those i guess, but i'm inclined to think that they're the kind of show that are gretly influenced by mood since they're so atmospheric so it might not be a good time, Last Exile might be a good choice as well.

GONZO WHY
GONZO is the reason why, they seem to make a lot of lackluster stuff that doesn't do well in a number of departments , Last Exile and Gankutusuou being the exception to the rule so far, maybe NHK as well, but dear god, the animation quality was nearly horrendous in several scenes.

Lol, ok then >_<

I don't have anything better to do with my time, that's the problem T__T

I know, my life sucks at the moment.

Don't fret it, I'm always in weird moods. Lately I've been discovering some of the most amazing free games on the internet thanks to i-am-bored.com

Hopefully you passed. And that name isn't as bad as some of the ones at my uni, not to mention the course layout (there's a third year IT subject where it's 10% for installing Messenger, 10% for getting a facebook, 10% for updating your facebook and 10% for getting a hotmail address, seriously, WTF?)

I hate you. I just found out today that my computer (a.k.a. laptop) has a Mobile video card. Friggin' thing can't run any of the older games, not even Thief II (which I bought), and can't play any new games. It can pretty much manage 2007 and early 2008 games and that's it. FUCKER.

Hey Big Simon! Whats up :D XD

Upper one? Lower one? Well, my guess would be lower one since you talked about taihen and no, I know about hentai as well as some funny meme(s) about certain titles but never bother with it.

Now, for your question, it's from a boring show named "Kampfer".... So~ any other question(s) that I can halp you with? =D

You know if we keep making homo-erotic jokes like this people are going to wonder. Let's stop joking and get it on.

As for that one club. Yes it's awesome - the club relations don't really "work" in any standardized way. Stuff just gets thrown on there based on foppery and whim. It's like what the C&C club would be if it was less regimented and stickler-ish. Although this also implies that it is infinitely lazier and gets far less accomplished. Basically, if MAL is Hetalia, then the C&C club is Doitsu and this club is Italia.

Texhnolyze is slow yes, but not agonizingly slooooooowww, so far. It has lotsa potential. Plus I am in love with Yoshitoshi Abe's character designs (Serial Experiments Lain, Haibane Renmei), so there's that if nothing else.

Oh, that's cool. I've only been in school for a semester so I really don't know what a 'full schedule' is, though I expect to be rather busy next semester/year.

And yeah, no 'quota' or whatever (here at uni or at home), but when I was at home I was really limited by my shitty 2mbit connection. Back at home I pretty much maxed my 1-2mbits 24/7 to build up a steady backlog, now that I actually have access to a decent connection (about 5-7mbits come to my room, a nice 700Kb/s~) I really don't download much anymore, pretty much because I already have about 900Gb of unwatched stuff D:

Though it is nice to have a steady connection, even when I don't DL like I used to. Being able to grab new/airing stuff and test multiple subs, along with replacing older DVD/TV rips with newer DVD/BD rips at leisure is cool.

About the gaming: GOW3 won't come out until late late 2010, but still something to look forward to. Also, if I didn't have a PS3, I'd get one just to play Uncharted 2, it's that good. And I don't really game on the computer (H-Games aside), that's why I have my PS3 and an Xbox that's going to arrive tomorrow. It's nice to be able to play games without requirements.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love to game more on my PC, if it could handle it... but this computer wasn't built to be a gmaing machine, it was strictly for media and my other basic computing tasks. However, I do plan to build a decent gaming rig in the future (not to say my rig is horrible, just no dedicated GPU, since the onboard serves my purposes just fine).

And I'll be out of class for about a month of Christmas break, in about another month... :< But really, I enjoy class. I hated high school but now that it's something that I enjoy, and a major that I actually picked, I like it. It's nice to be able to learn about stuff I find interesting.

I liked it a lot. Mostly because I love Rin. She's such a bad little girl <3

Sometimes the loli fanservice is a bit disturbing.. especially in the OVAs and the manga

The 2nd half is more dramaful (:

It's alright, I also only do comments and replies and such when I feel like it, so they can come at random times.

It's more apparent in shounen stuff because yes, the fanbase doesn't really care about 'realism', they just want tits and swords. I don't think anime and mango are great mediums for realism, but because of this, when I come across a series that portrays anything meaningful with a sense of integrity, it comes off as more special. Actually, LoGH might be emotionally and politically grounded and thoughtful, but, being an epic, it does everything with a certain majestic grandeur that makes it awesome and, well, epic. When I think of realism, I think more of Inio Asano's work (which you should read more of D:). Solanin is a great example, but his other stuff is similarly human and realistic.

Lol, yeah. I guess backstory is usually used as a means to draw out airing time to fill quotas, but more often it just wastes time and leads to a rushed ending. (Which is sad)
I'm fine with watching ugly webcasts for now because I know that the second the DVD/Blu-ray releases are finished I'll REWATCH IN AN AWESOME MARATHON. Just because it's that awesome. :<

Yeah, a lot of cool names nowadays are derived from older stuff, since there are only so many cool names to go around. D:
I love the Lord of the Rings novels, but the movies are some of my favourites. I one time spent the better half of a day watching all three extended versions back to back. It's how men watch LotR.
The epic genre in film is such that it can turn nothing into awesome just by means of the presentation. I've also watched plenty of pretty bad movies that were made awesome by the grandiose performance, music, setting, etc. 300 is one of those terribadly scripted movies that become pure awesome because of the lolful badassery of it all, though I wouldn't call it an epic - maybe a mini-epic.

Well, I'm not sure it was because of LoGH itself or because of the stuff I watched or because of LoGH itself (I remember I watched a lot of shounen afterwards, and I've never liked shounen), but I do recall not liking a lot after LoGH. A month or two later it was all okay, though/
I'm actually planning on watching Haibane Renmei soon, and just based on the premise, the fans, the style, the ABe, &c. I'm sure I'll love it (though when I thought I'd love Saikano I was terribly disappointed). But by now, I've learned to leave expectations as expectations; once I begin the series, I try to look at it without bias based on expectations (though this has proven difficult). But that's because anime is srs bsns.
Well, the thing about Monster is that I want to read the manga (half of which I've already bought) before trying the anime, since I've found that I'm better at reading than at watching. Since I'm also afraid of it dragging me into marathon mode, I want to have more volumes before I start, since I don't want to be stuck halfway.
But rest assured that I definitely have it prioritised right now.

I find that it's better to over-recommend so people won't run out of stuff (and come to you again) than to underrecommend. I used to have a last.fm, but I stopped using it because I kept switching computers and OS's and such. Since I'm pretty settled now, I really should get back to it, eh?
Japanese music is a lot like mainstream Western music nowadays, they have their different styles of rock and pop and black music. I guess like most anime fans, I don't much differentiate Japanese bands/singers from Western ones (though a lot of anime fans prefer the Japanese versions), but since I like a lot of prog/post rock, there aren't many Japanese equivalents (though you can't really differentiate post-rock in Japanese from post-rock in English, eh?).

It actually took a lot less effort than I thought because the numbers just kind of came to me spontaneiously. :V
And yeah, compatibility is more about ratio than numbers. A lot of people with whom I have the highest compatibility (in either anime or manga) rate on different scales than I do, but have similar ratings according to their scales. It's a pretty innovative idea, since not everyone has the same definition of 5/7/9 or Average/Good/Great.
Except for certain examples *cough* (but I'm not really a fan of shoujo manga [though I don't dislike it] in the first place, and that was bad for shoujo ;A;), C&C recs have been more good than bad for me, though. I would have never thought I'd like something like Fap Master Kurosawa, but because of its spotlight I read it and discovered its awesomeness.
