Too bad; I thought you'd be into Code Geass, what with all its 'flash' and all. But, really, though the first episode is excellent, you need to give it a chance - at least watch the bloody first disc! The second starts with Lelouch using strategy and robots getting involved. It's all fairly epic... and Kallen speaks - she sounds hot.

If you want to be "dazzled" by plot and characterization rather than visuals, you could download the first LotGH batch. I'm just sayin'...

If you do catch up with Aoi, explain to me what went on in episode four. I think something got lost in translation from the novel, or more elements were added. My post in the episode four thread sums up my confusion.

A new, one episode story starts up next week. There are five stories in total covered, afaik.

GG: In the case of TotA, they dropped it at 22/26. It's said, instead of translating the episodes, they often just put in dialogue from the game. Make of that what you will; no idea if it's true or bull.

I'm tiring a little of Kimi. Like Kare Kano, it started fast, with lots of early develpment. Also like Kare Kano, it then grinded to a halt. Episode three was basically a repeat of two, and episode four was annoying because it was pushed forward by dumb misunderstandings, the side-story not being resolved until the next episode.

Yes; I did the simple thing and went for a MS Word trial, which expires at the end of Jan. I didn't want to risk going the pirate way, with no anti-virus atm.

And, finally, OVAs...

You can see my thoughts about Gunbuster in the review thread. In short, I liked it but wasn't blew away by it. I was basically rewatching it, in any event. Our percentage is higher 'cuz we feel similar about both Gunbusters.

The movie version lasts for 95 minutes, and the final 30 cover the B&W final episode. When watching the full version, I didn't feel like the movie missed anything vital, so I'm guessing only stuff like the Freud (sp?) fight and fan service got cut.

I'm going through a ton of OVAs at the minute. If you're just looking for something fun, download the Shonan OVA. It's very enjoyable to sit through, despite its flaws and skipped content. If you're never gonna read the manga, why not?

I liked Golden Boy a lot. There was plenty of fap worthy content, and it was highly entertaining for a guy like me to watch. The second episode, with the slutty school girl, is my favourite.

I had a look at the manga. The episodes covered follow the manga exactly (final episode aside), with more service added if anything. However, from volume two onwards, it turns into a hentai, with sex and all. It's also supposed to get disgusting, with pissing in mouths and other stuff. (It was kind of hinted at early on, by the toilet lovin'...)

Anyway, enough. At some point tonight, I'm going to watch the low budget Lament of the Lamb OVA. I meant to do so after finishing the manga. But, first of all, I'm watching Liverpool crash and burn.

My grammar is ok, but not perfect. And having a grammar checker would make proof reading so much easier.

I want to re-read and correct ALL of my reviews before moving on. To do that, a grammar checker would be most helpful.

What's bugging me is who/whom... or, more specifically, one of my GTO review paragraphs. First I went with who, then I switched to whom and now I've gone back to who. There are a few key aspects I always struggle with, and who/whom is one. (I'm developing a complex - my review has gone from 11/14 to 11/16, dropping from 1st > 3rd... >_<)

If I had a grammar checker holding my hand, it wouldn't be an issue - I could learn with each correction. Despite my NOD32 'fix' no longer working, I might take a gamble and go with a pirate release of Word.

I recommend you go racist and download the 'A.niger' release of Aoi Bunagku 1. It's very good. Or, if you're looking for some excellent, though generic perverted harem-type comedy, give Nyan Koi a go. TSB is only worth watching if you have nothing better to be watching. You can't expect quality from an anime with 'female friendly' breastplates.

I'm supposed to be watching The Early Years OVA. I got distracted by thoughts of reviewing and re-reading my reviews a few hours ago, after watching the first episode. :/

Just finished Wicked City, never got to watch it last night, it was pretty win although a standard Kawajiri movie, my favourite is still Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, but Wicked City would be a close second.

In my case, buying consoles would just piss me off more as I'd more than likely get a faulty unit, or have it become faulty. If not for my Dell PC dying within a week, I'd have a decent computer. True story.

In general, I like depressing shit. Whether I feel like jumping off a cliff or not, I prefer depressing stories because of the character development. Silly stuff is off-putting because of its lack of realism, where as the reverse is true the other way around. It's no surprise Aoi has a real-world, 1930's setting, and is based on the best-selling novel in Japan.

I've seen a video of VC on Giant Bomb. You can move your units around in real-time so much each turn, snipe people, take on tanks, etc etc. It looked very fun and addictive. I'd def play it if I owned the machine. I wasn't aware SoA characters made guest appearances, though - that sounds cool. I tried replaying SoA: Legends awhile back, me having loved it first time around, but was put off by how generic and simplistic it is when the 'first time' charm wears off.

I'm pretty bored now, in all honesty. There aren't really many anime movies worth watching once you go through the Ghibli collection. Highly rated, non-recap films are few and far between. And I've caught up with my 'Watching' backlog, Texh aside. If I can't find the motivation to watch any movies later, I might give Gunbuster a go, me owning the second OVA on DVD and all.

Football: even though I'm nowhere near Manchester, it pisses me off when Liverpool beat them. I'm gonna stop watching those games; United always bloody lose...

Edit: Also, your Kannazuki review has jumped from 3/4 to 6/8 now, and is still #1. Go you, with your four paragraph review. >:D

Never, ever trust the little box on MAL. You know how I've lost far longer messages in the past, when I could be arsed to send them your way. I HATE how you lose posts on MAL if you click back by mistake.

No worries. Not as if we're attached at the hip. If I had a PS3 to play in HD, I bet you money I'd vanish from the internet for a period. I need something like that right now; some lovely looking games to play. All I've got is Giant Bomb's quick looks. (Africa looks sweet.)

I've been trying to go through 1-3 movies per day. Two days ago I watched Naruto movies 4-5, yesterday I watched Bleach movies 1-3. Now, however, I'm burnt out, and I felt it would be a good time to catch-up/drop shit from my 'Watching' list.

In between anime, I've been getting into the usual e-drama, even posting a little in the review club. I've also been told by a certain Swedish person I'm only similar to her in the sense I'm human and breath air. Go me.

I'll probably watch Porco Rosso and Pom tomorrow; two of my last three Ghibli films. I'm expecting nothing.

By the way, I rated a... 'certain' review unhelpful, not impressed by its length and detail. Guess which way that vote went? :-/

FFS, I just rated your Goku review positive. On the same page (your reviews page), it showed as being 4/7... Then, when I look on the anime page, it showed a rating of 3/7. -___-

I pressed back to try and get a screencap of the 4/7 page, but when I did the rating was showing 3/6. Balls.

Sorry, man. I did rate all three positive after reading, despite only my Kannazuki rating counting in a positive way. On the plus side, your Kannazaki review has jumped from near the bottom to the top because it's now received five ratings, and the other two reviews are as they were.
