Thanks for sharing that, dood! It was a good read. Now I wonder when will I play the VN because I already have a copy of it.

Recently added Toaru Majutsu no Index novel and Leivinia Birdway in your favorites, eh?

I'm surprised you made another random appearance while your previous mega-comment was left unreplied. Do you need my response that badly? LOL, j/k!

You don't mind late replies like this, right? It seems this has been my latest reply ever in a comment, or a conversation even. (If this exactly counts as a conversation since the time intervals between the messages extend more than a month, hah!)

You know what? I LOVE that sexy lovely aristocratic blue-haired lady with real bunny ears. She's like the missing Onee-san of a certain pretty Lunarian rabbit I know. I hear she's one whom you shouldn't mess with once her hair color turns pink. Either way, her beauty is captivating. <3

Unlike me, I'm not the type of person who does research about the history/background of the band or circle who sing an anime's OP or ED. Some anime fan that I am, huh? >_> I like Supercell's song for the 2nd ED song of Magi. Guess I need to listen to their songs more often. I do download anime episodes. In fact, I download episodes that I truly believe is worthy of rewatching again and again. Lately, I haven't been making any new animated GIFs. There were lots of video clips that are GIF material but since I've been lazy busy, I never got around to downloading and animating hence I've already forgotten. ._. As for Magi....hmmm.....can't really pick a favorite episode. There's not enough Kougyoku Ren in the anime. Oh, and as for anime episodes that are worth my time rewatching, I'd say episode 532 of One Piece is worth more than a pot of gold for me. I have a copy of that episode in my external HD as well as in my partitioned hard drive. Anyway, are you satisfied about Magi ending in episode 25? I heard that the anime's ending was original material that didn't come from the manga. Is it true? I'm not aware of the recent events with the manga, but it looks like the next season will focus on their next adventure(?) in a brand new kingdom. I'm just guessing things...

I've been dying to ask this. How many hours do you spend in a single day to read the chapters of one volume in the Index light novel? I'm still in the third volume and even if I read the chapters at home (at night before my bedtime), I could only read at least 20 pages and yet I still haven't finished a chapter then I never realized it was already that late and past my bedtime. I have to admit that reading the light novels is fun, but it's much easier for me to read them at home than at work. There's countless interruptions at work because of my customers consistently appearing and it's much more convenient to watch anime at work because the download speed there is better. (I'm at home while typing this, lulz.) Anyway, back to the light novel. I've only heard and read some of those spoilers from my nephew and from reading various entries from TVTropes. (bleh!) I heard that there were various underground(?) organizations that had a sort of....battle royale in a certain volume involving a couple more Level 5 students of Academy City. Protagonist number three is....well....I've first learned about him from watching episode 24 of Index anime season 2. Final Episode New Character, to be exact. Yeah, Touma did beat him up, and talked some sense into him, but I would have never imagined that this dude's conversion (and constant meddling? whatever) will make him a top primary target of the ominous sorcerer that is Aleister Crowley. *shrug* Lessar....I can't remember anything about her. I probably haven't read her name from browsing the Tropes or the Index wikia...

Mafuyu Shiina in Seitokai no Ichizon is a big yaoi fangirl. (A "fujoshi", right? Gotta be familiar with these terms...) But I can still tolerate that show because first of all, the show isn't generally yaoi and secondly, the yaoi fantasies were subtle and done only for laughs. That's it. Yaoi for the sake of yaoi is just not my thing. I avoid this stuff. As for yuri, meh! Let's talk about it some other time. I can't stand yaoi but I can tolerate hentai. /headshot x_x Trap characters? Yeah, they're fine with me. They don't bother me at all, though. Same goes for reverse traps. Hideyoshi Kinoshita from BakaTest was one of my favorite traps, but there was another trap that I liked more than Hideyoshi yet I can't remember his name or from what series he's from. >_> The other one may be a trap but was very cute. Who was it again?! >___>;

Wow, I've already abandoned my video-gaming life... Wow... Shocking but true. What games are you playing right now? Just tell me the names and on what console/handheld/whatever they are played from.

Which reminds me... My nephew has been playing visual novels lately. He has already played Katawa Shoujo, Clannad, and it seems he's going for Little Busters! too. He plans to play Refrain probably after he's done with LB!. Yeah, he's already given me a few visual novels to play like Katawa Shoujo but man, why can't I get myself to start playing these visual novels? Dangit!

The LB! anime didn't end with a "Boom!", so after watching all 26 episodes, I could still say that treating the anime adaptation as "average" may be a little too harsh. I am still attracted to the character designs (for the ladies obviously...*ahem* *cough*). Two of the arcs have emotionally captured my heart. My favorites would be Mio's and Haruka's arcs. It was an emotionally-packed start for Kud's arc but from the way it ended, it confused me. My poor brain can't comprehend the conclusion... And that ending kinda lacks impact for me. Same goes for the conclusion of Komari's arc. KOMARI-MAX! Kurugaya route....that I have to see for myself.

So Refrain is now confirmed for an anime adaptation. Your thoughts? Wait! Have you finished the LB! anime, by the way? Did you? Did you not? Oops.

I haven't watched Code Breaker yet because my name is not Alex. Pray that I won't drop it, otherwise.....

I've started to set my sights on Chihayafuru, due to how well received it is as a series. Would that make me one of the cool guys if I start watching Chihayafuru? Either way, it's in my PTW, that's for sure. It just has to wait in line, promise. Never knew the second season would be a 2-cour anime, just like the first season.

Maigawd..... I have already typed this much already? It looks like I've only replied to HALF of your entire mega-comment! -_- Good grief.... Instead of a wall, this mega-comment might even grow taller than Mt. Everest. Oh boy...

Oh, yes, that's right. Hey DOOD! I have some big news regarding the forum upgrade! Looks like LR can upgrade to v5 after all. There are just a few minor roadblocks in the way, but I'm gonna destroy them. (Wait, is that the right way of taking care of roadblocks?)

Uniquely colored usernames: Single color works. HOORAY! Multi-colored usernames such as yours and Hazr's....unfortunately, it's....impossible in v5. Sorry. :( Images as usernames....I've tried it and it works. Surprisingly, it's also available in v5! HOORAY! Just that my BetaZone test forum seems to have a broken index or something hence I couldn't locate the usernames of every member in LR for me to apply changes with the display names. Let's hope it doesn't happen to the forum once I finally upgrade it. Still making preparations.

LR credits: I have found a way to keep the LR Credits! However, the LR Credits will have to be.....reset to zero. Yep. ............ Zero. ............ NO, WAIT! THERE'S MORE! I have thought up of a solution, which would not require for us staff members to manually edit the credits of ALL 1500+ forum members. Just wait for the upcoming announcement. I reckon I'll be typing another monumental wall of text there for an OP. It will probably be longer than these walls of text BUT with pictures as screenshots. That's right. WITH PICTURES!

Plugins: Yep. But since I'm still a v5 noob, I'm still studying what other helpful plugins I can add to LR that would be beneficial to the forum. There's not much I can say about plugins at this point. *ahem*

In April? How did you find out I will respond in April to your mega-comment? No, wait. I just assumed you did.

Standoff? Fighting? Huh, we were fighting? What was it again? :V

Well how about that. Only one of my PCs at work runs with a Win7 OS. Ehe. And it's been 2 months since my 5th year anniversary of managing my business. :) February 18th, to be exact. Could have been filthy rich if it wasn't for all those monthly (and ANNUAL) expenses. ._.

I'm been typing this thesis for more than 90 minutes now. Maybe 100 minutes even! Bleah...

Actually, I'm too lazy to re-read that certain bit from my previous mega-comment. I'm now puzzled as to why you were asking for a thumbs up.

You have a point. Makes it much easier for me to remember what were my thought about the previous episode because I've written them down. But sadly, I rarely do it. -_-; I could try making this my brand new resolution, not a New Year's Resolution. It's been 4 months already anyways. And once I do, I'll post all my thoughts (more walls of text) in the anime discussion thread in LR.

Too lazy, huh? I'm sometimes feeling lazy to reply to mega-comments. There's another mega-comment that I have to reply from another person. Man, will my backlog ever end?

Aku no Hana - This show was NOT supposed to be in my PTW. Never added it. But after the controversial first episode AND the abysmal rating this show has received from this site, I decided to check it out myself. (Still hadn't added this entry in my list yet) The anime's beginning was kinda dull for me. It's like it tried to portray a pretty normal life for the characters like life in the real world. Well, the rotoscopic art shows it. While the show itself felt dull for me in the beginning, the rotoscopic art never bothered me, though. I think it's a very unique attraction for the show. But I'll be honest: I do watch many anime which I'm more interested with, as I'm more attached to what people call "moeblob" or "moeshit" even. I can give Aku no Hana a chance. Maybe if I can at least decrease 2 or 3 more titles away from my CW list and let them graduate into my Completed list, I could try to catch up with it if it will continue to spark my interest. It also got me thinking.....maybe the rotoscopic art and the execution of the show was all part of the author's plan. Just according to keikaku as they say. A devised plan to attract the curious viewers into reading the manga if they haven't seen the manga yet. That would probably make the manga sell out more, I think. As for the show itself, I don't think it's abysmal and appalling as countless MAL users claimed it to be. They're just looking at the show from a different perspective, or they just have different preferences & different opinions. I doubt I'll pick up the manga of Aku no Hana though. No clue.

I guess that's it. I don't know what else to add... Oh, I'll be sure to finish that "mega" announcement in LR regarding the forum upgrade! I hope to finish it by this coming week or, if not, this coming weekend. (Maybe?)

Apologies for any typos since I'm.....*yawn*....getting drowsy...

Au revoir!

Oh hey. Holy moley! Never knew you already finished reading the Index novels... :0 Sweet! Congratulations, dood! Now you've made it up all the way to New Testament. I'm still far behind with only 2 volumes finished. xD But does the gap with the progress even matter? =P

Too bad chaos is non-existent in LR. Lulz, I do want some chaos brewing but only the harmless kind.

Soon is when you least expect it. ^_^)-b LOL!

Ah, I see. I like keeping track of milestones like this because it motivates me to watch more and helps keep me excited, haha~ Now I wonder what would my 500th completed anime be? Looking forward to it!

HI Alex I know its been awhile since I talked to you just wanted to see how you were doing.

Glad the best girl won. You gonna read the novel?

Hmmm... probably to exercise more and eat healthier overall, although that isn't going so well right haha. You?

I am shocked.

It's great other than the weather(although it's not too bad right now). Nope, didn't I tell you I'm a NEET? lol

I have no idea, I'm in the same boat as you, I haven't watched it in quite a while now, I'm at the point now of hoping for it to fail sales-wise so KyoAni can remake it in the future. Very true, which is why I didn't have much faith in J.C Staff to make a proper anime adaption.

Good god that was so long ago, can you at least try to reply within a month? xD

I thought the turn-ons bit was pretty funny, but yeah I agree it was pretty hit or miss; they were basically deleted scenes. The manga ended? Hmm.. maybe I'll give it a read.

Wow now that's a hell of a Christmas, I wish I got a pendant haha.

Well as long as the BL isn't overkill I would still watch it. What about you? Did you almost drop it after episode 8?

How did you like Sukitte Ii na yo?

LunyRed beat me at having a humongous comment!

Don't be silly. I will eventually reply whenever I want~

Oho? Are you a devotee of the Moriya Shrine now?

Yes the new opening and new ending for Magi are both good. Wow, it's been almost a week since I last saw both of them, lol. Because of slow Internet at home, I'm too lazy to go to YouTube to find a video of the OP & ED of Magi for me to watch again. I remember seeing some never before seen characters from the series. Also, the final part of the OP where they're having a festival celebration of some sort....I remember that they're finally at peace with the Kou empire already? Does that mean they'll eventually become allies? Something tells me that Princess KanaHana will fight alongside the mains. Hey, I've never read the manga so I won't be surprised if my assumption was wrong, duhuhuhu! So yeah, an ongoing major arc is in the manga, eh? Well if the current story in the anime concludes in twenty-four episodes, I hope they make a sequel!

I've been thinking that once the movie finishes filming in Japan, it might give a brief announcement in the credits (probably) that Index III is in the works. Just like you, I also want Index III really bad. I've already heard major spoilers hence I already know who will be the next villains that Touma is going to fight. There have been some pretty strong antagonists in the final parts of the light novel, just like a certain guy with "Right" on the last part of his name. I also would love to see "Dark Matter" and "Meltdown" animated, including a certain powerful princess! Well I hope an announcement of Index III does come true so I can prepare for the big impact. Speaking of the light novel, my progress is ridiculously slow that it's embarrassing that I've even given an idea of how far I am. :P

I'm not going to deny that yaoi turns me off. It's really hard for me to explain why I can still tolerate some "mild" yuri than "mild" yaoi. Mild is okay. If they do it for only for the humor and not too much, I can take it. If a series is generally yaoi, I'd twitch but I would probably still watch series like that if only I ran out of series to watch (in other words, the last genre that I'd watch), which is impossible at this point. Shallow reasoning from my part for not liking yaoi in general, but I wouldn't flat out say I dislike it without even having seen some video clips or fanart. It's kind of like I'm being fed with a food that I've never liked. Despite me being able to tolerate some yuri, I don't generally encourage yuri or yaoi. I'd more likely encourage genres that I like. ......but it looks like I went off onto a tangent.

The Sakurasou OP was good. I would like to listen to it again! As for the ED, my head was also dancing in rhythm, hahaha! And I see. Sorata does have a point with his reasoning to Mashiro but he took it way too far and spoke too harsh on Mashiro. Yeah, that was way too harsh though..

Dood! I do think Wii U's are already available here in our country but I have absolutely no idea about the popularity of this brand new console here. I dunno. Well, I'm not interested to grab a Wii U. I'm saving up for surveillance cameras for my shop. I'd pick up Tekken Tag Tournament 2 for the Wii U if I own one. A 3Ds sounds like a sweet deal too, but since I'm no longer updated with vidya games, I know nothing about the games in the 3DS except for the upcoming Pokemon games, Pokemon X and Y! Now those are games that are worth buying!

......you're really persistent about my thoughts on Little Busters now, huh? xD Even if I haven't finished the series yet nor having not played the light novel? :P I mean, really?

Never picked up Code:Breaker. I dunno if I would like it if I do start watching it.

"Otome", eh? If it was me, I'd pick the reverse. :P You know, MC is a guy pursuing girl characters. Anyways, I also enjoy a wide range of genres. If you would look at my list, the anime I'm watching are vastly varied, including the titles in my completed list. I could watch magical girls or kids' anime or trading card games to even the manliest of protagonists or horror or psychological ones. I am also easily pleased in watching anime, hence most of my anime ratings are pretty much very high. My scores would reflect on how I feel about the show, and how much I've enjoyed it if it has ever captured my emotion in any way possible. I can appreciate many genres that's why I want to keep watching until I complete as many anime as I can! And just as I mentioned up there a dozen few paragraphs away, I am also willing to try watching the genres that I typically dislike like yaoi and hentai but those series would be the lowest in my priority list.

Dood! You find it hard to reply on a laptop? Battery problems? Or it kills off your wrists when typing? I experienced the latter. Or something else? Still using my laptop to type these gargantuan walls of text now.

Nobody from LR has seen the Beta Zone of the forum for ProBoards V5. LR's Beta Zone layout looks hideous. Too many things that I didn't like that's why I'm trying to fix them, despite having struggles of my own and it's been weeks already. ;__; A lot of forum admins have been struggling with reorganizing their own ProBoards forums ever since the Admin Panel has been revamped. What's worse is that, there were PLENTY of codes that no longer work for ProBoards V5! Remember the multi-colored usernames in LR? You and your photosynthesized display name Sad to say but....it seems that multi-colored usernames will be gone in V5 because there's no similar code that's working for V5. =/ But WAIT! THERE'S MORE! There's something else that's much much worse than that!


It's not an easy thing, by the way. Forum members will be able to experience the transition soon and the only thing that they would find difficult here is adjusting themselves with the new layout of the member's profile as well as the new method of writing messages in posting or PMs. That's nothing compared to what we forum admins have been going through because we are having a hard time re-designing our forums for the entire thing to be fully functional and compatible in V5!

The forum upgrade will happen at the end of April this year. We have no choice but to accept the change, because this upgrade IS compulsary! If we forum admins won't be able to sort out everything in our forums before the upgrade begins, then it's our big problem.

....why were we going to fight again? AH, THAT'S RIGHT! BECAUSE THERE WAS NO REASON TO FIGHT!! /headshot x_x

Luckily only a few of my computers have "broken down" over these past....5 years? Wow, hey! I've been operating my business for nearly 5 years now! Woohoo! :D One of my computers got heavily infected by the dreaded Sality virus. I thought that PC was hopeless, but I was able to find a way to recover it WITHOUT reformatting the whole thing. Reformatting is a big waste of time and I don't like it... Some of my older PCs had some hardware failures where I had to replace the parts, such as their graphics cards. LOL, my shop is like....one of the few shops around the country (probably) that has PCs running on Windows XP! :P Hah, I haven't even upgraded to Windows 7 yet! Dunno about Windows 8, but whatever.

Sleepy during that time you wrote those comments, huh? I'm already sleepy and I've spent a lot of time typing everything in this comment. Probably the LONGEST comment that I've ever typed in MAL! Hah! AHAHAHAHAHA! xD Thanks for that, dood! :P

Your lucky number is three because it sounds the same with your name. But you broke it and made five. No high five for you.

Hmmm... I dunno what else to say. Bleah.

You know what? Next time, I'll type my thoughts about the airing anime this season. I just don't feel motivated anymore to continue typing about them, because I am feeling so sleepy now. You seem to have picked up nearly everything from Winter 2013 just like I did. And you chose a lot of good stuff too just like I did! Shows that I've picked up but you haven't are: Cuticle Tantei Inaba & Zettai Karen Children: The Unlimited - Hyoubu Kyousuke. I'm thinking of putting Cuticle Tantei Inaba on hold, because even if it's mostly slapstick comedy that never failed to make me laugh, I'm not really interested with the characters. One of the characters is a trap, lol. I already have too much on my plate so I'll save this one for later and I can't continue watching it this season.. The Unlimited is good and I'm definitely keeping it. I've finished the original Zettai Karen Children last year but this spinoff has much better animation quality than the original. Awesome soundtrack too.

Uhhh... What else was I supposed to write? "NO!" says Daniel Bryan.

I'm done for the night. I'll continue watching anime tomorrow. You already got your mega-comment courtesy of moi~ If you'll ever respond to my Great Wall of Text, don't make your comments ask for more. Otherwise, I'll get lazier and my reply speed will become a month slower. :P Oh no! That means your comments could get buried deep and you'll pester me even more! Dayum!

If you'll ever respond to this mumbo-jumbo nuisance earlier than usual, I'm not gonna reply earlier than usual~

YES! My longest comment EVER! G'nite tree! I'm hitting the sack. My mega-comment ends here. :3
