Silence. I know. It's horrible. And it's the same in the street.

Even so I think I like that picture because she doesn't look like Asuka at all, lol
 
Here Cano, from R.O.D. (I still need to see that show.). I don't know who she is, but I'm assuming she is, or is the main character.

Good thing it's on Hulu, if I like it, definitely will go after the Blu-ray box (Will wait for a sale seeing as how it's not limited, and went for $100 during Rightstuf's 12 Days of Savings sale.).

Now before anyone goes on about price, our release is very similar to the Japanese one, it's just missing these commentaries, hence our release not being $486. Also, R.O.D. has been priced at $200 MSRP for every box set release.

Yes, she is the main character of Read or Die, another show that's on my watch list. The soundtrack to it is pretty amazing.

And yes, post glasses PLEASE.

Bianca (Dragon Crisis!!-Full of cliches, overall a 7/10 for me, but I wouldn't recommend it.)

Curses, the FUNimation video portal is down!!:mad:I was going to watch more Air, and finish Haganai!:(
 
Forgot, speaking of Freezing, I want a season 2, and the FUNimation release to be solicited already!!:mad:Also wish the manga would come here.

I'm wondering if it sold enough to warrant a season 2 (From what I'm looking at on ANN, it didn't appear in the top rankings much, but the DVD sold around 2,000 every time, and the BD 5,000+ every time.).

I'm starting to feel more tempted to import on shows as they come out to help make another season possible for various shows in the future (When this might happen, I don't know.). This is one reason people import, they want to see the show continue, so they try to help make it happen. They'll get the R2 sets (At times, the show is already licensed here.), but they'll also get the R1 down the line.

One person I talked to, they were importing Aria the Scarlet Ammo in hopes of it doing well enough for a season 2. Though considering there has been no news, a season 2 probably won't happen.:(
 
Just because it was full of cliches doesn't mean it was bad. I still enjoyed it, and found it to be good. ANN gave it a C+ even (Episodes 1-7 though.), so even they don't consider it bad.

Also it should be noted, I don't recommend anything I give a 7/10 or lower really.

Well, see... 7/10 is more like a B or B-, not a C+.

IMHO if a show is something you wouldn't consider recommending, it should be 6/10 or lower. But that's just me, I guess. :P
 
Yeah, it's just you. Nothing I recommended in the thread in the Anime Appreciation Club was a 7/10 or lower show for me. I recommend many 8's, but not all. You'll see me recommend pretty much nearly everything I've given a 9/10, or 10/10. One thing I wouldn't recommend that I gave a 10/10 for example, Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection.

It is both loved and hated. There has been so much debate over it's ending, the parts of the Jinchuu arc in it, and more. It's something I know I'm in the minority of with my thoughts (Despite the 10 rating being the most common on MAL for it.).

So let me get this straight, TC... your recommendations aren't based on whether you personally think it's good?

Yes and no. When I recommend, it's based off of how good I thought it was, and whether or not I think other people will enjoy it. Do you recommend things you loved, but you think many wouldn't enjoy?

I wouldn't recommend Dragon Crisis! mainly due to how most people here would either drop it, or finish it, and give it a 5/10 or lower. Then with Rurouni Kenshin: Reflection, I found it to be a masterpiece, but the problem is, I don't expect too many people to like it like I did.

On the [as] boards, people have called me crazy for being a Rurouni Kenshin fan that actually liked it. Look at this even, hate, hate, hate.

I don't come across many people like these people who actually liked it.
