Hey, just out of curiosity here, but is there a particular reason why you didn't give a score to all the manga you have read? Our Happy Hours and Onanie Master Kurosawa are some pretty amazing stories I think. :3

Sounds painfully annoying. At least you can control how fast the text appears, right? Or does it not even have that option?

I can understand where you're coming from. JoJo's not a show for everyone due to its "strangeness", but if you go in with the mindset that it will be a peculiar, over-the-top shounen, then you might come to enjoy it a tad more. On the contrary, HxH is definitely more accessible to a wider array of audiences, due to its easy-to-like characters and an overall immersing mood.

JoJo's got a bleak mood --- many times you will find certain tragic deaths happening to the people around the protagonist; but at the same time, JoJo isn't without light hearted moments, although most of its comedic scenes are found in Part II [when a certain new protagonist gets introduced, shit becomes a lot more hilarious]. I personally liked the presentation. Those vile acts you mentioned serve to accentuate the antagonist's evilness, and make the viewers hate him that much more. Dio's probably one of the most memorable antagonists I've seen in any shounen; his misdeeds are just so over-the-top and despicable that one can't help but hate his guts. =p. Heh, I'm a character/sound/visual guy for the most part as well, so I can relate to your pet peeves. It just so happens that JoJo's "bizarreness" is still within my own comfort zone [doubt I'll like its even more manly cousin, Hokuto no Ken, though. =p].

On another note, have you ever tried Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann? It's another over-the-top shounen series featuring manly dudes [but it also has sexy chicks]. It's a show I'd normally recommend to others, but seeing your distaste for JoJo I guess there's a relatively high chance that it won't be your cup of tea.

Random question: Why didn't you assign a rating to Psycho Pass?

I would imagine. I'm really hoping a translating team will pick it up, because my Japanese is nowhere near good enough to be able to understand a game like that.

I read both. I wanted to take your advice and skip it, but my hunch was sort of telling me not too. Granted, I still have no idea how important the information in Unlimited will be for Alternative, but the repetition of events at the beginning doesn't really bother me that much. That and I still have enough free time and interest to even read the three optional routes in Extra.

The living room is a pretty risky place to read eroge. I'd likely do the same thing if I were in that situation. I prefer to avoid VNs that don't have a patch or an official localization, machines tend to really annoy me. >.< That and there's still a good number of games that have been translated. There are a lot of untranslated VNs that I'd like to read, but I'll save them for later, I do plan on learning how to read Japanese at some point in my life. That said, I'm pretty interested in seeing how most of the newer games run too, I've even heard of a few that are in native 1080p (can't remember which).

Any chance you can help me out with the black bars on MLA? I read on vndb's MLA forum that setting it to 1024x600 would fix the problem, but I can't enable that without forcing it. Are there any other methods that don't involve tweaking the registry? I'd rather not mess with that just to fix this issue. I'm using a Radeon graphics card and my monitor's native resolution is 1920x1080.

hey, I'm just wondering, but did you do the layout for your animelist yourself? It's really pretty! Plus, it's way easier to get an overview with the pictures and comments. My favorite comment was: Clannad - 'Stuff'
