NERF THIS!!!

So do you have kids by now or what?

(or how about Discord?)

Thanks man. I really do enjoy the series so far. Only character I dislike is Oberstein, but Reinhard and Yang are just a treat to watch.

You have the highest drop rate I've seen lol. I recently started LotGH so I'll add you so I can discuss that with you! So far though, I'm loving it.

recommend me some anime or manga, bro. I have decided to get back into it... but it's hard. I'm an old lady now.

Colt 45 and two zig-zags, baby that's all we need.
We can go to the park, after dark, and smoke that tumbleweed.

Yo Plate, sorry for the super late reply as well. I lost track and yeah...

How's the new season treating you? Also, do you use Skype much?

Sounds good, I have been doing similar stuff. Was in the Czech Republic visiting SY and japonecka a few months back. Also met Pinguinus, if you know him.

I'm starting my Masters next year. Good to hear you are almost finished too, I didn't want to be the only person from Char and Tea still in school. Once I'm done, I'm going to look into moving to CZ for good.

The channel is half dead nowadays, sadly. Kaiserpingvin is almost never on, and the only people who still talk there are Chavez, his friend Corpeen and myself.

My thoughts on the changes to reviews can be found in this thread:

:P

Do you use an app or program for your manga? I've considered a tablet in the past since that sounds really nice and I could comfortably read manga in my bed or something.

Yuri Kuma was the last one I tried and I actually dropped it, I rarely drop anime often. But it just wasn't doing anything for me, it has some really funny things to it, but when I sat down and listened to the dialogue it just felt so strange to me. Like something out of the Monogatari series where characters are speaking, but they're really not saying anything at all. If that makes any sense.

I recommend the remake over the original, and I'm normally the opposite. I know you're not too big on shounen series yeah, and the fact that it'll never end makes it all the worse. But I will say that it's almost like JoJo where battles/conflict are rarely about who's stronger, but who uses their surroundings and enemy weaknesses to their advantage the most. It feels a lot more strategic and psychological.

The Chimera Ant arc is also pretty infamous, there are people who live and die by that arc and think it's a masterpiece. I think it's great but not without its flaws, what impresses me most about it is its themes though. Not often do you see an arc in an action series explore themes of what it means to be human, the affects of nuclear war/mutually assured destruction. War, tragedy, reincarnation etc. The end of it made me really emotional to boot.

Definitely worth a try someday at least.

I got back to the Patlabor tv series btw, really enjoying it so far.

What do you know, mine would be Teller.

Let's both run off into the sunset and do magic tricks and make investigative documentary series together.

What's going on with you these days anyway? Are you working now?

Are Seigfried and Roy your spirit animal?

It's all good man, sorry to hear about that bad tooth of yours, is it getting any better at least? Sounds like everyone is going mobile these days, I don't even have a smart phone still. But it's probably handy to keep your list updated if you can't access it on your pc.

Yeah, I think I'm in the minority when it comes to Utena and Ikuhara's works in general. They're super heavy on symbolism and I can never really get into the characters and their dialogue in his shows. I can understand why people would enjoy it, but it's not for me.

I was on an anime roll until I finished Hunter x Hunter, which I probably fell in a slump for a bit afterwards. I highly recommend HxH if you haven't seen it yet btw, huge surprise to say the least.

Hi Plate, you probably don't remember, but you gave me a recommendation for the Anime Watching Challenge, you recommended Natsume Yuujinchou to me. Just completed it and wanted to say big thanks for pointing me toward such a great anime. It's one of the best I have seen so far.

Hey Plate, how's it going lately?

Cool, well hopefully I'll really enjoy Ceres when I pick it up. I'll let you know how that goes when it happens.

Are you on a monthly cap? Although, tbh I'd feel the same about downloading that much all at once, it would make me paranoid that I dl'ed too much and my isp has taken notice.

Scryed was good, nothing amazing but it's another decent battle shounen. Kind of reminds me of a post-apocalyptic X-Men or something; people with some kind of unique power due to sudden changes in their geographic area. Also, yeah, I really dislike Hirai's character designs as well.

I'd be interested in your opinion on that show.

I see, find any interesting recommendations from using that yet?

Also, made some anime purchases recently. I got both sets of Rose of Versailles for like $23 each, Armitage III the complete saga, The Wind Rises on bluray and a few other stuff.

Also scored this today http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LZPYBKO?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
