| So, basically I started writing my own reviews. I was planning to do this for a while and even talked Hajime into it, but he's taking his sweet time, so meanwhile please enjoy my first entry on Groovy Corner. I hope you'll like it, and that it will be the first of many to come. |

| Damn you, Groove! (¬_¬) Your "review" made me spit coffee on my brand new LCD monitor!!! |

Westlo said: What's your theme song, Diebuster OP Were you talking to me? :unsure: If you did, then I didn't understand you. What theme song? Where? If not, then forget it. |
|
| Diesbuster/Gunbuster 2 OP is called Groovy Magic, it should be your theme song :p Oh yeah I checked out your first review, your second pic cracked me up. The stare was so intense! |
| Hell yeah it kicks ass. Almost makes me want to watch that show :D. |
|
| ^am i missing a link or something...? |
  |
| Check his profile, you should see "Groovy Corner. Entry 1: Umisho". It's also an amazing review. I do indeed think I may consider watching the show (since I already seemed to have expressed interest in it, according to a list of shows I haven't gotten around to). XP |
| Ah ok i didnt even notice the little bog section :) |
|
| Groovy Corner: Entry 2. Make sure to check it out. |

| Ok,Umisho one was hilarious xD |
 |
| ^ I see you didn't watch Kaze no Stigma yet. I hope that I have convinced you to watch it, because it's truly awesome in every possible way. |
|
| Alright, awesome reviews and you won me on Kaze no Stigma. Keep it up because you have aunique way of presenting the series and I like that! Problem -- where can I get some quality KnS fansubs? Animesuki doesn't have more than 4 episodes. |

| I'm getting AnimeYoshi because the file size is smaller lolz... I already saw 2 eps of Kaze about a month ago and I liked what I saw. I was like "whoa the main guy isn't a useless idiot.. wtf is going on lol!". Download priorities for feb 15th onwards Monster, Ghost Hound, Kaze no Stigma, Aria, Umisho + catching up on Fall/Winter shows. |
| Much thanks for the links. I'll be sure to check it out. |
| Why don't you just use the xdcc bots in #animeyoshi? /msg [AniYoshi]Ayano xdcc send 1 ??? /msg [AniYoshi]Ayano xdcc send 24 |
| I've read the rules of the forums and indeed I can't post any links. So.. if anyone else will have problems finding the show contact me via PM, email or whatever. |
|
| I thought kaze was ok, and i liked that the guy was tough ...most of the time. It got a little tiresome toward the end tho, just constant arrogance and over poweredness..its like going from one extreme of anime dudes to the other. After so much you are kinda like 'Can he stop being an overbearing prick for just a little while?' |

| Errr, man you post some hostile threads. I found the characters arrogance, for whatever reason, tiresome after so much of it. I also found it kinda boring that he was over powered (im guessing you are smart enough to figure out what i meant, but chose to take a dig at me cause it was there to take). Although not as extreme, it gave me the same feeling as the Superman syndrome. He can do anything, no real problems. Terrible problem, hit the wind mage button. Solved. That said, i found his cockiness/arrogance/jerkiness refreshing early on, and for the justifications cited, certainly within the realm of reason. Just kinda got tired of it by the end. I liked the show, that was just the 2 things that bugged me about it, and i think if changed woulda made it better for me. For me. Read: opinion. |
|
| DazarGaidin My post indeed carried a certain amount of hostility but you must understand, in no way did I mean to offend you, I'd say that I'm even more angry at the situation Kazuma is in then you, but I did get overzealous as I sometimes do when it comes to my favorites, and only with people that I care and respect them and their opinions. I censored my posts 3 times in order to make it the least offending that I could. (To emphasize the magnitude of the censorship, the first version of the reply started with line "This statement + sola = you know shit about anime") But I guess the post turned out to be offending anyway and I'm truly sorry. It was not my intent to be rude or start a fight or anything else for that matter. My only intent was to pass my point of view unto you, and I just happened to do so in a somewhat hostile way (i.e. I wasn't writing a hostile reply on purpose, it's just sorta turned out this way). This being said. First of all, you must be asking yourself why was I mad at the situation Kazuma was in? You see for me, there is no higher value then family. Friends, girlfriend, anything goes straight out the window when my family is at stake. The betrayer of a family is something that my mind is not able to apprehend. Being kicked out from the family, by me is one of the worst thing that can happen to a man, let alone child that he was. I certainly justify his rude behavior towards his family, moreover I think he hasn't done enough to get back at them, but that's just me. DazarGaidin said: I also found it kinda boring that he was over powered (im guessing you are smart enough to figure out what i meant, but chose to take a dig at me cause it was there to take). Although not as extreme, it gave me the same feeling as the Superman syndrome. He can do anything, no real problems. Terrible problem, hit the wind mage button. Solved. Well, the truth is that I kinda knew it was overpowered but I wasn't sure about it.. Again, I wrote what I wrote without any intention of "digging at you". So, the truth is that I absolutely love the overpowered aspect. I love leads that show the antagonists who calls the shots. And after all, there are not so many of those types, without giving it any thought I can only name one besides Kazuma and that is Alucard, though I can certainly understand why you didn't like it. You wanted from the show unpredictable action, while I wanted Kazuma's sarcastic jokes, Kazuma kicking butts, Kazuma's struggle with his past, Kazuma's and Ayano's relationship. Action was just something extra in the show for me, it added flavor but it wasn't the main dish. For instance, i might have enjoyed the show more if he was a little weaker/or end opponents were a little more challenging (or he needed the other people around him more..like the girl whom he stifled beneath his awesomeness), I already referred to him being weaker in the previous paragraph. Now about the poor little girl he stifled beneath his awesomeness. First, yes, Kazuma is awesome :P. Second, the thing is, Ayano is tsundere, and the only way to counter tsundere is being tsundere yourself. Third, he cared about her, he knew that someday she will have to take lead and for that she has to be strong both physically and mentally (and she wasn't, in either aspects). I think he loved her since the first arc when he saw her using the blue flame. All of his actions can be justified by him wanting to train her, or just teasing her, because after all he is a bigger tsundere then she is, and the bigger one wins. In many occasions he sarcastically pointed out that she's being stupid, but that's because she was, but then again, who trained her to best use her powers and not just rush with her sword into middle of everything? Who intentionally didn't release his full powers just to let her make the finishing blow so that she won't feel useless? Who is the one that even though making fun of her all the time, increased her self confidence by telling her on more then one occasion that he needs her help (even though on some of them he in fact didn't need it)? You can say that Kazuma is being mean to lots of people, but Ayano is certainly not one of them. and if after reconciling with his family to whatever degree (particularly his father) he dropped some of the arrogance (because afterall, he is a good natured guy at heart). Thing is, he never reconciled. In no way should you see the fact of him not finishing his father is an act of reconciliation. He just works for Kannagi as he would for any other rich customer, and he's making hell lot of money. In fact, even though it's more of a pointless fan talk, I don't think he will ever reconcile with them. I see him marrying Ayano and her becoming the next leader of Kannagi but not him. I don't see him taking his last name back, I don't see him living in that big house of theirs, I don't see him forgiving all those years of looking down upon him. Again, crazy fan talk with nothing to back it up with except that impression I get from Kazuma. |

Hajime_Saitou said: Groove said: I censored my posts 3 times in order to make it the least offending that I could. I see. By the time I got here I just saw what's there right now. No no, what everyone saw is what's there right now. I censored it before sending it. I mean, I wrote the reply, read it, saw that I'm being rude, edited, read it again, etc, three times. Only after I considered it to be mannered enough (obviously not enough), I've sent it. |

Hajime_Saitou said: Groove said: No no, what everyone saw is what's there right now. I censored it before sending it. But then... *reads post again* I'm just not seeing a problem here. You hardly address DazarGaidin until the last paragraph which is just asking for clarification on what a word means so that you can give a proper response. Maybe he meant the cursing? I say if someone has never cursed at or because of an anime, they're watching the wrong stuff. lol Perhaps, at any rate, I apologized for any misunderstanding or worse, offense I might have caused, specially since it was not my intention to offend. |

| The tone of his post was hostile, as if he was angry, I am surprised you couldn't get that hajime :P lol But it doesn't matter, cause this is the internet, and i rarely take it seriously even if they do. None of this crap is gonna matter in 5 years or 500. I just think its a waste for him to get so mad about it, its not like my opinion matters either. Whats ironic is we disagree on some things about it but we both like the show lol :P |

Whats ironic is we disagree on some things about it but we both like the show lol :P This message is hostile too.. Who is "they"?.. What "crap"? I didn't get "mad" per say, as I said I tried to show you my point of view, and it's just happened that you've noticed a certain amount of hostility there. And sure your opinion matters, if I didn't care I wouldn't go through the trouble of discussing it with you. Now, leave it alone guys. Better comment on my last entry, because it was originally my intention to make two/three reviews and then let you guys decide whether you want me to continue or not, after all you're the only ones who read it. |
|
| I think its a cool idea, and pretty funny reviews :P Gonna read it after this post. edit: Ok i read it...is evangelion really that bad? lol I only seen a few episodes of it :) I wasn't trying to be hostile there, sorry if it came off that way :D To clarify, read it as "I rarely take it seriously even if the people who take it seriously do." And "None of this unimportant stuff is gonna matter in 5 or 500 years". |

DazarGaidin said: I wasn't trying to be hostile there, sorry if it came off that way :D And I wasn't trying to be hostile before, so we're even ;) :cheers: Ok i read it...is evangelion really that bad? lol I only seen a few episodes of it :) Evangelion? Ah? What are you talking about, I wasn't reviewing Evangelion, just wrote a bunch of stuff that makes an anime a crappy one. But since you touched the subject, yes Evangelion is a complete disasterpiece. I'm not sure if the act of boiling oil being poured down your throat by the holy inquisition is more or less enjoyable then watching Eva, but they can surely compete. Make yourself a favor and never watch another episode again. ^_^ Edit: You know, there is a theory that's saying that back in 1937 when Lucio Bini and Ugo Cerletti tried to find replacement for metrazol, they found out that both electroshock and watching an episode of Eva get the job done, finally they decided to go with electroshock as a more humane solution. |

| lol ill take your word for it, and avoid it. I think i got a big enough backlog now that i can pick and chose |
|
| I read Groove post 4 mins after it was posted, it was pretty hostile compared to what's there now but it just a heat of the moment thing. But I doubt Groove intended it to be, fuck I say fuck 4 times in one post and all of a sudden I've mad and pissed off when I'm just talking normally : I think I said fuck more than a stand up comedian does back when I was in university and never really noticed how much I said it until someone pointed it out. Some chick "You swear more than a sailor", Me "What the fuck are fucking talking about I don't fucking........" *sighs*. |

As far as I remember the only difference between the post that you've seen after 4 minutes and what's there now is that I fixed some grammar mistakes, that's it. P.S./Edit: Though I appreciate all you guys standing up for me, let it be and stay on the subject ^_^. Westlo ,what do you think about Groovy Corner? Did you vote on the poll? |

| Meh I must've been tired (actually I was, slept like a rock for 12 hours straight) when I read it, I thought you said some additional stuff, checking out the poll now. |
| Well, judging from the poll there is only like 4 people reading Groovy Corner, but since it gives me a bunch of enjoyment writing it, I think I'll continue to update. So, since my audience is like... 4 people (:D), is there anyone who wants me to review anything in particular? From my watched list of course. If not, I'll just write something on my own tomorrow. |

Hajime_Saitou said: I just read the Dear Diary one. I knew what it was right away, but I still lol'd. I'll add images to it tomorrow or something because it looks pretty weak. I'd do that today but the text was so on the tip of my tongue that I had to post it, otherwise it would have been lost, besides I didn't update in a while so I decided to do two in one :) |
|
| Entry 5 - Updated! Enjoy. |
|
| Entry 6: Rie Kugimiya. |
|
| Nobody liked the 6th entry I get it? (No comments both here and in the blog) |
|
Hajime_Saitou said: It's probably because we didn't want to know certain things. Those were props, right? Click on it, in dismay. Anyway, in one way or another I used the same kind of humor in all my entries. I guess I pushed it a little too far this time didn't I? I still take suggestions for anime to review so if anyone wants me to write about something fire away. I had another entry in my mind since yesterday, I'll see if I'll have the time today to write it. |
|
| Groovy Corner. Entry 7: sola vs suicide; objective comparison. Comments please. p.s. There is one problem though, the table starts before margin. I played with it for 30 minutes and still didn't find the reason for it or how to fix it, if anyone knows anything about it I'll be more then glad to know. - fixed. |
