Echelon's Profile

Hi. I know this is kind of out of the blue, but that is a very manly profile pic you have there. Please, do tell, where's it from?

And I see you have quite a lot of oldies in your list, so don't mind if I come back to check it out.

I don't really know yet man. It seemed fairly good from the first episode so I'll let you know once I get around to finishing it.

Did a new group start subbing Liger or something? I watched the first two episodes before the group vanished for all eternity. It was interesting that's for sure.

Not yet, I think that most of them will be next ep.

I asked because I told Hisoka a while back that I thought that episode 19s tend to rock a lot for some reason. At least in the shorter 26 episode-ish series since they have to start preparing for the ending and all that. Just a funny "observation" that's probably not even true heh.

DB will get its due. I imagine once you get back into it, it will slowly take over your watch schedule like City Hunter lol.

Heh, I know that part with Vanderkaum well, since I screwed up the first time I faced him and fought all his soldiers before facing him, instead of just dodging them. By the time I got to him I wasn't ready lol. Second time went smoothly though. Isn't he in Xenosaga? I thought I heard something about that. Vanderkaum that is.

Those dudes on the screens (they have a name but you'll find that stuff out later) remind me of SEELE from Eva so much heh. I dreaded whenever they had a scene because I had no idea what the hell they were talking about most of the time lol. It does start to make sense the deeper you get in the game though.

Feel feel to keep talking. I look forward to hearing your thoughts on certain things. But yeah, I won't be able to reply in too much detail most of the time lol

Dont hurrrt meeeee!!

But yeah, I was just bored throughout and didnt want to spend hours of my life forcing myself to watch something when I could be doing something else. I didnt find a single character in the whole show interesting, not even the main one who just became a silent body ocassionally grunting non-interesting things, and the story was too simple and formulaic. I tried dude, sorry!

Dont know what to watch next, I'm feeling burn out by anime again and am watching more movies these days.

I think i'm actually worse with focusing on games than I am on anime, if you can believe that. I'm definitely guilty of collecting and not playing enough.

Suikoden 4 isn't really bad but it is a little bland, it kind of feels too much like the first 2 games and doesn't really do anything to make it stand out. The worst part of the game is boat travel that takes forever and you get tons of random encounters during it as it really slows the game down and makes it less interesting. Out of the 4 games in the series I played it's the weakest, but it's not really a bad game.

DQ5 is a pretty cool game, seems to be a bit more focused on story and monster collection than other games in the series. I'm probably about halfway through it. DQ8 i've kind of played on and off for ages but it kind of lends itself well to that oddly enough. I really feel like I could just sit down at any point and just get right back into it and it has this nice adventure feel to it that I really haven't felt since playing Lunar on the PS1 years ago.

Odin Sphere really impressed me in the relatively small amount of time i put into it. Very interesting mix of 2D action and RPG elements and the graphics and music literally blew me away. I really need to sink some more time into it.

Shadow Hearts I kind of missed the boat on entirely and didn't even realize it until years later. I remember seeing it for rental and noticing it was put out by Midway and assumed it was an action game or something. One of my friends played them all and it came up in conversation and it looks like I really missed out on some cool games. Maybe i'll try hunting them down when I work my backlog down a bit though.
