Ah, where to begin? I've been watching anime ever since I was 4 or 5. I don't really know for sure; my childhood memory's a bit hazy. The earliest first shows I remember seeing were either Gundam Wing or Dragonball. Anime was pretty prominent from where I come from, so I guess it's no surprise I've seen plenty during my early years.
I've been dropping in and out of anime over the years, but I somehow still continue to watch it. I'll watch any show if it's interesting; doesn't really matter what genre, but my favorite ones are more in the lines of action, slice of life, and comedy. I used to be really big on mecha, but not anymore.
Mah rating system:
10 - Absolute masterpiece. Everything about it is fantastic, probably close to near perfection. Of course, the enjoyment factor is extremely high, but that's my own biased opinion.
9 - Superb. Not quite as 'grand' as a '10' anime, but it's one step closer.
8 - Great, pretty enjoyable and a worthwhile watch. Has some flaws but ones that are particularly minor.
7 - Decent, pretty good, alright. Can be somewhat recommendable, sure.
6&5 - Not bad, but not exactly good either. Has its fair share of both. Mostly where most of my fanservice-y/guilty pleasures end up, basically. You know, for shits and giggles. Nothing wrong with that, right? Of course not.
4 - Baaad. Bad as in poor story, annoying characters, etc. etc.
3, 2, & 1 - Lowest of the low. Trash. Garbage. Crap. Atrocity. Reserved only for the sadomasochists, as is yours truly. These are in tandem with 4, but these stem from how much I hate said shows.
Oh right, I also play video games. Sure, I watch anime, but I'm more of a gamer than anything else. Action-adventure, platformers, and RPG's are my go-to genres, though I've enjoyed other games outside of my comfort zone. But not fighting games. I'm terrible at them and I can never hope to understand them fully (when it comes to Mortal Kombat or Persona 4 Arena though, I can get down with those).
My all-time favorite games (in no particular order):
*Final Fantasy X
*Command and Conquer: Red Alert 2
*Pokémon Gold/Silver
*Super Mario Bros.
*Star Fox 64
*Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 4
*Shin Megami Tensei: Persona 3
*Kingdom Hearts
*Galaga
*Ratchet and Clank: Up Your Arsenal
*Killer7
*Jak 3
*Counter-Strike
*Road Fighter
*Okami
*Street Fighter Alpha 2 (Gold)
*Freedom Fighters
*Chip's Challenge
*Tales of the Abyss
*Assassin's Creed II
*Bayonetta
Add me if you wish. If not, that's fine too.
I also listen to a lot of music. I was really into rock, alternative, metal, etc. back in high school, though nowadays I listen to a very limited amount. I've since opened up to other genres like electronica, ska, reggae punk, and mix of other styles. Among my favorite bands are the Foo Fighters, Incubus, and School Food Punishment.
I'm also in a band, though we haven't been practicing lately due to college and all. I'm the drummer, by the way. Sorry I don't have any video for you showcasing mah maaaad skillz. =P
Enjoy the song. I'll change it from time to time, old and new, depending on my music mood.
Any other questions, statements, yada yada yada you might have for me, PM me or leave a comment below. I (almost) always respond. It's okay, I don't bite.
Man, thats really messed up :( but good thing you had it ensured *phew* I suppose it didnt turn out to be as bad as it sounds, thanks to the insurance hehe...you can now invest the money on ps4. You did (or, are getting) the insurance money, right? Any updates from the police?
That's cool, I was given mine a long time ago when my friends were trying to come up with a account name for me so we could play on xbox, one said orange because I wore a lot of orange and then the other just said mango out of nowhere and since then its stuck, I'm OrangeMango all over the net but some places have that name, like someone on the PSN damn them.
I see, glad I wasn't the only one. And true, I told myself that a while ago. If I just sit and nitpick every little detail of something like a shounen, I think I'd just miss the point entirely and not have any fun. Maou-sama is definitely my number 2 for the season now. Thanks for bringing it to my attention.
Oh really? What a shame. I thought episode one was the weakest too, heh. Well, the director has done pretty good up to what I've seen. I'm watching it with a friend, so I'm not free to catch up until she's ready to knock it out of the way. I checked the wiki for it, too (no shame). Because my ability to read Japanese is sketchy at best.
I waited until I had watched a few episodes of Maou-sama to reply, and yeah. It's really not that bad at all. It's not doing anything original with the plot, but it does have a fresh feeling to it's approach. My only problem was how quickly the lead characters adapted to their new society, and their lack of properly giving us a timeline of how much time has actually passed. But hey, I think I'm nit-picking too much about a shounen anime.
He's not writing the entire series? Then how much is he writing? And where did you read that at?
did it man. Platinumed ACiT and it wasnt that hard like you said. The My blaster runs hot trophy I did with my brother on 2-player. When I tried it alone I found it a bit frustrating, but playing with my brother made it more fun and we did it within 40 mins or so.
Yeah, I started off pretty disappointed with this season, but Gargantia has been without a doubt the best thing this season. I just hope they keep up their momentum until the end. I haven't watched any of Maou, mostly because I'm not a fan of shounen. Would it still be enjoyable even if I don't care for the genre?
you were right and I was wrong, it took much less time to complete the game on both hard and challenge mode than I had anticipated. And after I had completed the frustrating task of finishing it on hard, I found that I was actually having fun in challenge mode thanks to my maxed out and omega weaponry.
Now the only trophy remaining is 'My blaster runs very, very hot'.
