You have a MAL?!! Why didn't you tell me?!

 

[AOS-]

I was on zerochan to find a new ipod wallpaper, but i always check the first page for anything new or interesting.... I then started browsing pictures of Victorian Black Rock Shooter

 

[Loliblade ver2]

and it'll cost more than the $225 needed for all 3 LE's.

At least it's better than F/Z

But my only problem with singles is how inconvenient they are. I want it all in one place.

 

[Lain]

It's on campus. A speed like that isn't so surprising (though it is awesome. I miss the internet at NC State). I didn't think the connection where Walter is would be that high though.

It's a public facility, so naturally they've gotta have some pretty fast internets to accomodate dozens of people using it at the same time...

So sadly, most of the time it doesn't feel that fast because there IS dozens of people using it at the same time.

And frankly, when there's a lot of assholes trying to download torrents or install Steam updates, the Rec Center's wireless router frequently isn't up to the task. And it ends up taking 5-10 minutes for me to simply refresh TGAT.

There are some occasional golden moments where I'm the only one using the internets and it's blazing fast. But those are usually pretty short-lived.

I know that feel, bro. I know it all too well

 

[TheCorvette]

Nah. I want it, but I'm not paying for anime until I have a steady income. I do have a list of shows I want to own, though. You should totally get it, TC. *glare*


It's annoying that they're releasing it in singles. I guess I'll also wait for a boxset...

I'm planning on getting it, that LE speaks to me. I MUST have it. Who cares that it's $75 for 4 episodes on BD and DVD? Aniplex USA shut up and take my money!!!

It's still going to be a bigger success being released in singles than straight up box sets. Also, as I said earlier, a box set here probably will never happen. If you want a box set, you'll have to import the Japanese one (Which will probably have no English subs.) whenever that happens, and it'll be like $350 at Amazon Japan.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Yes, PLEASE throw your money at Aniplex and get Magi. Worth it.

 

[Lain]

I know that feel, bro. I know it all too well

It's particularly painful when you've just realized that it's ABSOLUTELY IMPERATIVE that you quickly edit the post you just posted RIGHT MAO because it's HORRIBLY FLAWED!!!!

Or maybe that's just me, and my habit of clicking Submit Reply without stopping for a second to proofread my posts. And my habit of subsequently clicking Save to my numerous edits without taking a second to read them over to realize that my post still isn't quite right yet.

 

[TheCorvette]

(Assuming you're being sarcastic.)To you it's not worth it, but to me it is. When will you understand this?

Do I even have to go into why people will import, something more costly than Aniplex USA's pricing for Madoka Magica?

Another ep. 3:

Spoiler

What's under the eye patch? OH GOD it's another eye!!! I'm glad Kouichi is finally starting to lear- HOLY 🤬 the ending!!!!

Me.

Just surf RightStuf for the RightPric.

I'm not being sarcastic at all. I genuinely want you to buy them and watch Magi. I want to own Magi myself one day and those LE look awesome, so I wouldn't mind owning those.... even if it does take a mortgage payment.

Or maybe that's just me, and my habit of clicking Submit Reply without stopping for a second to proofread my posts. And my habit of subsequently clicking Save to my numerous edits without taking a second to read them over to realize that my post still isn't quite right yet.

And those times when gtp is glitching because of your slow internet, so it's stuck on the saving the edit bit.... goddamn horrible.

 

[TheCorvette]

They're still offering two other options, 3 $40 BD's for $120, and 3 DVD's for $90. That's pretty much the same price people were paying for anime back in the singles era. Though one difference here is, no artbox with one of the volumes. Not too big of a deal, but it did make collecting singles more fun to many people.
---------------------
They're killing me here, the thing comes out March 7th, and they still haven't revealed the packaging art on the Japanese site.

24x36 Illustrations > Box art.

I'm saying it now just so I won't back down in April; I'm going to make one nice drawing, get that printed and hang it up on my wall in my soon-to-be computer room.

MG Banshee Gundam is official

 

[Dravonic]

Seeing so much discussion about new stuff and not being able to watch is agonizing

I wonder if you could get that kind of connection for your house.

Big cities usually have 100Mbps fiber optic connections. They do cost a small fortune though.

That box art is damn beautiful.

Also, the only way for you to get them physically is to order the Fate/Zero box set from one of the places offering them.

More beautiful box art from R2.

Taku. Baka ne... :fp:

Disagreeing for the sake of disagreeing without knowing what illustrations are. Everyone line up in a single file to slap this foo', please.

 

[TheCorvette]

AOS- being an art elitist again, and making it seem like art is objective.<_<

In all honestly, I like that box art a lot more than those illustrations.

 

[Sephy]

So even though Ano Natsu de Matteru isn't what I wanted it to be, it's still very enjoyable.

No you dummy, illustration IS the drawing you see on the box art. Artist makes a drawing, that drawing gets cropped into the dvd/br template.

I'm not being an elitist; you didn't know something and made a really silly statement.

I also wish you scrapped this "elitist or nothing" mentality.

 

[Dravonic]

So even though Ano Natsu de Matteru isn't what I wanted it to be, it's still very enjoyable.

I saw the first 2 episodes. They were quite enjoyable, except for that annoying thing... What is that thing anyway?

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Another ep. 3:

Spoiler

What's under the eye patch? OH GOD it's another eye!!! I'm glad Kouichi is finally starting to lear- HOLY 🤬 the ending!!!!

Spoiler

The eye scene was creepy and I really liked the build up to the whole "'cause I don't exist scene". It's slow, creepy and mysterious. I have a theory that they're all stuck in some sort of time-loop in class 3, we'll see how it plays out.

DAT ENDING, OMG I :censored:ing LOVE IT, MAN.

I <3 Another.

 

[Dravonic]

I've yet to see Another epi 3, but what I saw was meh. Nothing happened, just uninteresting all around.

 

[AOS-]

It's iffy, but Sean, Tier and I are just being easy-going on it.
To be honest, It's just Another cliche show..

 

[Sephy]

I saw the first 2 episodes. They were quite enjoyable, except for that annoying thing... What is that thing anyway?

I have no idea . That whole element of the show is exactly what I didn't want, but it's there, so I am slowly just accepting it. I guess that's anime for you...

Remon is the best.

I <3 Another.

I don't. But it seems like it might have some promise now. That ending came out of nowhere. Fairly graphic too.

It's iffy, but Sean, Tier and I are just being easy-going on it.

I was hoping it would be more "horror" than what it is, but overall it's not a bad show. Definitely looks like it's about to get a lot better.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Pros:
- Beautiful art style
- Creepy atmosphere
- Not too flashy, doesn't forget it's a horror by getting into stupid 🤬 or going over the top(Oh, hey. Mirai Nikki)
- BLOODY

Cons:
- Bad animation, characters are stiff and lifeless(I can handle lifeless, but the movements are not smooth for the most part)
- HORRIBLE OP, goddamn.
- Main character is a hollow shell at this point in time(This can be turned around, Silent Hill 2 did it)

Eh, that's all I can think of at the moment.

 

[Dravonic]

I have no idea . That whole element of the show is exactly what I didn't want, but it's there, so I am slowly just accepting it. I guess that's anime for you...

I don't mind the alien stuff. I just hope it has a good purpose, because it has none so far.

 

[Loliblade ver2]

Oh, Another 3's ending would have been 25% better if

Spoiler

The umbrella(ella, ella, eh, eh) went through one of her eyes :3
