Animu & Mango (Spoilers may or not be tagged, be warned)

Nothing is that bad, except maybe apple, as exhibited by Steve Jobs.

huh huh huh congrats on lookin like a D-bag

I wasn't trying to pwn anyone, it is bad and the reason it is bad is mind boggling.

I actually like it. Well maybe that's a little strong.

I'm changing my list in hopes that it will actually spark discussion:
1. Cross Game
2. Natsu No Arashi
3. FMA: Brotherhood
4. K-ON
5. Higashi No Eden
6. Sengoku BASARA
7. Hatsukoi Limited
8. Ristorante Paradiso
9. Saki
10. Shangri-la
11. Valkria chronicles
12. DOGS: Bullets and Carnage
13. Phantom

Nope, I don't really have anything to say to that.

So you're pissed at Eden too? Usually when I mention it, you don't really respond. Sometimes that means you agree so much that you don't think you need to tell me you agree and other times it means you dissagree so much you know if you respond it'll end up in a fight.

So I think it's official. Eden fails.

Really though, I am sad about me being the only one bothering with Cross Game and Natsu No Arashi.

I actually don't really like lists. But really, Eden did die for me, the quality of production can't save it from the complete ridiculousness it's turned into.

I agree with you 100%. Excluding the part about lists, you couldn't be more right. I'd just like to ask, why haven't you at least tried Natsu No Arashi and/or Cross Game? I'm not even sure if I really want you guys to watch them because I feel like they're just my little secret or something. I guess I don't want you guys to watch them and hate them because it might make me like them less. Also, the first episode of Natsu No Arashi, while not really bad, has absolutely nothing to do with the story, as in at all. Seriously, the first episode takes place in the middle of the story, and has no elements of the plot that aren't explained better than they are there. In other words, if you DO decide to watch it, skip episode 1.

I'm thinking about trying Natsu no Arashi out, but I'm the type of person to watching everything as the director intended so I don't skip episodes, openings, endings. And I only sometimes skip flashback (there were three or four of them in Wolf's Rain) episodes and filler.

Ok, but seriously, if you do decide to give NNA a shot, then realise that there's way more going on than in the first episode. Not that episode one is particularly bad, it's just completely unnecessary. The only thing I can think of that that episode might be useful for is setting up how their version of time travel works (and by that I mean how changing things in the past changes the future or doesn't), and they did that much better in the most recent episode. Also, theres this thing at the beginning of a lot of episodes where these two girls are just chillin' and talking about the books that one of the two girls has read, and it seems completely pointless but it matters (sorta) later.

I was on /m/ earlier and saw mention of an animu called Metal Skin Panic MADOX and decided to follow the provided link to megaupload and download it. Honestly, I hate these kind of stories. Kid find mech. kid opens mech. Kid finds manuel and glances at 2 or 3 pages of it. Kid opens mech. Kid begins to pilot mech and is forced to stay inside mech. Kid causes misunderstanding by fighting whoever the mech belongs too, usually this factions has two sides and he ends up befriending one side. Kid defeats evil side of aforementioned faction. This one was worse than normal in that he honestly didn't seem to understand that the military was chasing him because he had stolen experimental military equipment and was walking around the city with it. But other than all that and about a thousand other nit picks (glaring ridiculousness in the story) it was pure /m/echa porn, which was awesome.


So, for those of you who didn't go to Adventure Con (I'm looking at you Andy) here's some of what I got, two PVC figures. I'm gradually accumulating more and more /m/erchandise, these will go along side my 1/100 Wing zero Custom, my soon to be ordered 1/100 RGM-79[G] GM Sniper, and my Platinum Perfect Evangelion box set (all of which I'll post pictures of because not all of you have seen my Wing Zero, and well, I'm bored.)
I apologize for the low quality of most of the picture in general, I'll fix most of those soon when I have natural lights to take the pictures by, all of my lights downstairs are pretty harsh and the flash isn't much better.

This one isn't painted yet and doesn't have but one decal on it, and that one looks like shit. It's my first gunpla and I messed up some things, like switching around some of the stickers on accident and getting bored and doing the left leg's black lines in sharpie (it looks good from far away.)

XXXG-00W0 WING ZERO CUSTOM

You may be talking to him, but he isn't listening. Am I the only one that didn't see it last week when Valkyria 9 came out?

Well, not only him but Nathan as well, I know he checks this every now and then. And like I said, I was bored and wanted to play around with my camera.

How bold of you.

Dude, I have the same headphones as you, oh, cool /m/erch as well.

I actually use a completely different set oh headphones, that particular kind gets on my nerves because of the low sound quality and ridiculously short cord.


P.S.

Garin, you're a dick.

Yeah, I'm sorry for that one. It was a cheap shot, but it was pretty funny anyway.

So, I moved my computer setup, and I would like to ask if this makes me any more of an absolute nerd than I already was?





P.S. These aren't before and after shots or anything, just two different shots of my new setup.

If anything, it makes it look like you have a POS computer.

I've always liked that.

It's like you're going for some kind of BPS thing, only your stuff really IS shit, and it doesn't just look like it.

I would love to go for come BPS thing. Unfortunately, old cases + new motherboards doesn't seem like it would work.

No, but neither does anything in BPS. But we need some anime discussion on here. So here's my question: Out of our 4 biggest childhood animes (Pokemon excluded), the 4 being Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, and Gundam Wing, which one was your favorite at the time and which one is your favorite now?

For me my favorite at the time was Gundam Wing. All kids love explosions, right?

Now, however, my tastes have matured and I'd have to give top honours to Cowboy Bebop. Of course, I still haven't finished Gundam Wing, and I haven't rewatched hardly any of Outlaw Star, so we'll see if I change my mind after that.

Why aren't Mobile Suit Gundam 0079 or 08th MS Team on there?

Disregarding those two though I'd have to say that my favorite was either Gundam Wing or Outlaw Star. I'm not really sure which is my favorite now though, they all seem a little over played.
