^ Sekirei actually. I'm completely addicted to harem apparently :3

And Ichigo 100%, shame VIZ Media cancelled it. I'll have to learn Japanese and import the Japanese volumes (Thank gawd manga is super cheap there, cheaper than here. Here: $10 a volume There: $5 a volume). Though then again, I still haven't started it.

Cool fact, I have all of Ichigo 100% on a disc around here some where. I finished it years ago and its pretty good. Certainly has a proper ending.

Seeing another player in the survival game break down and kill itself adds to the realism of the show. It really helps the idea that there's real people in there fighting as well.

I love the realism in a show with so much emphasis on an unrealistic situation 👍

 

[Cano]

Also, YuYu Hakusho?

fixed.

NISEN 2

Get some Sengoku AND KANBARU?!

This is such a fun show.

I was about to fall asleep (because I'm tired), but then all that Sengoku and Kanbaru teasing kept me awake :3

 

[Loliblade ver2]

ESPECIALLY SENGOKU. I got so much damn, man.


Done Bokurano 16. I really want to point out how much I love the soundtrack, the violin reminds me of Rule of Rose(which was insanely twisted and awesome).

 

[TheCorvette]

fixed.

You're joking right? YuYu Hakusho is a classic (Both the manga and anime.). I need to finish it. First I need to get the last 3 season sets on DVD for $20 each, and also start collecting the manga (Unfortunately VIZ Media has left a few volumes OOP.).

I will double-dip on the Blu-ray sometime.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Classic ≠ deserving of praise.


I'm not saying it's bad, I'm saying don't defend it just because it's a "classic".

 

[TheCorvette]

I'm defending it also because it's actually good. It is one of the highlights of anime from the 1990's.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

You didn't mention that part.

 

[AOS-]

ESPECIALLY SENGOKU. I got so much damn, man.

If there was a tier list, Sengoku went from a D to B...
and Kanbaru went from a C to an A.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

I disagree whole-heartedly.


Nadeko went from a B to an A.

 

[AOS-]

D to A...minus.

Yes, we are negotiating this, I don't care.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

A plus.

Holy 🤬, the Baccano! Blu-ray box is back on-sale at Rightstuf (Except it's $10 more now.). This probably is the remaining stock from Bandai's Online Store when it closed down last month.

Quantity Remaining: 91

[AOS-]

Don't get over-hyped, man... surely you can imagine better than Sengoku's performance, and with that, you have to leave A+ for that.....A minus..

Kanbaru was better because she taught Araragi a valuable lesson.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

lol, I wasn't serious with that A+. Kanbaru is still a B- for me. She's an extremely entertaining character, but her looks and mannerisms < Nadeko's.

Kanbaru was definitely the highlight of the episode though.

 

[TheCorvette]

This limited edition includes an artbox sized to hold both seasons 1 and 2 of Strike Witches!

FUNimation, why must you be dropping the ball so much on what your limited edition includes lately?All we're getting now is just the chipboard artbox.

What happened to what you had in the beginning?

Looks, it's Nisen Kanbaru.... Sengoku's got one hell of a refreshed look, looks so much younger and out-going, but her shyness interrupts her momentum.

Mannerisms? I dig Sengoku's way more.

She made a Mayoi out of Araragi.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

.....wut?

Also, I really don't care for Kanbaru's looks in either installment. She's just funny.

I see you have Re-Take on there. I actually have read that, though it's been a long time. It's quite awesome.

Yep it's quite good. I've read it before too (hence the yellow highlighting), but my memory's a bit foggy.

Yeah, I love episode 15.

Done Bokurano 16. I really want to point out how much I love the soundtrack, the violin reminds me of Rule of Rose(which was insanely twisted and awesome).

I started playing Rule of Rose a little while back and really liked it (since it has more of a classic Silent Hill feel than the new Silent Hill games do), but didn't get too far with it before I got distracted from it. I really should get back to playing it sometime. 👍

Anyway, just watched After Story 17-19. Consistently great.

It's reeaaal twisted and it made me sad face. Psychologically :censored:ed up and depressing. It's a shame that the core gameplay mechanics were so goddamn horrid(combat mostly). The story is top notch 👍

It's more 🤬'd than Silent Hill 2, but not done nearly as well.

 

[jeffgoddin]

Urmmm.... been watching Bokurano, and there's something that gets to me.

Spoiler

So, if the rule is, if you lose a match, then boom! your world is dead. Then why isn't the whole "game" over after the first match? If you win, the the other people's world goes boom! game over. How can a one loss elimination match go on for more than one round?!? not sitting well with my logic moderator.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Aliens.


Okay, but seriously: Multiple realities.

It seems you're assuming that it's two worlds fighting each other, when it's not.
Once you destroy an opponent, their universe goes bye-bye and you face an opponent from an alternate universe next round.

Glad to hear you're watching Bokurano, nonetheless. 👍

Ah. So it's like a 32,768 entrant single elimination tournament (2^15), not just two teams going at it. Okay.

Something like that.

Other than that, how are you liking it?

 

[jeffgoddin]

Okay. Btw, Coemushi is totally Katsura (Gintama). Almost everything in anime relates to Gintama, which is as it should be. I know it's long, but a few eps at a time, I can't believe more of y'all aren't watching this. Shame, really.

And yeah, Waku was Shinpachi, another guy who gets around a lot. And Daiichi Yamura is Gintoki himself.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Waku's a dirty soccer loving slut.

On ep 18 now which is the last of my downloaded eps, so I'm as well loading up 19. Going to finish it in the next day or so and finish downloading the show(to share with my friend, of course) next weekend. Next show I'm watching is either Spice and Wolf or Code Geass.

Just okay? Son, I am disappoint.

Acquiring new anime for me is a bit of a hassle, but I'll check out the Gintama manga in the near future. 👍
