rape or sexual abuse or the main character being a prostitute. it was soo sad. i hated it, yet it drew me in. :'( 

A solid 8/10 series.. or if we go by Imperial's rating scale then a 6/10 as only that part in the spoiler really drew all the emotion.

 

Yes I read it but I decided to watch it anyway.
I can't really give a score right now until I have at least watched the trilogy but the question if I like it or not well there's an amount of dislike being that it's only 1 hour long, feels too quickly paced, character design that can even make a grown man's face distorted and a lot more, feels a bit like an exaggeration of the genre of cyberpunk.

But what I do like about this movie is that the main character is a victim. It kind of remind me of that book and recently released film The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo where the protagonist is a victim. There's an air of revenge and hatred but at the same time a true form of progression and character development. This kind of story is rare to find.

Yeah I know what you mean and I feel the same way. The impression was actually to make people want to watch it as while it was quick paced. It did it's theme's and executed what it wanted to do well. Just enough to be good.

 

 

 

Update Edit:Just read Ch 176 of Kimi no iru machi..and it was fricking hilarious.
 

 

For those that didn't fully get the Guilty Crown ending. Here is the synopsis of it:

 

Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show)

Shu makes use of its power to eliminate the virus from the world for good and stop the Fourth Apocalypse by sacrificing himself. Instead, Inori sacrifices herself to save Shu's life, while Haruka, Kurachi, Arisa, Daryl and the rest of the Undertakes manage to escape the GHQ building before it collapses. Some years later, Tokyo is finally rebuild and Shu, who became blind and had his severed arm replaced by a mechanical prostetic limb, celebrates Hare's birthday with Ayase, Tsugumi, Yahiro, Kanon and Souta. It ends with Shu sitting on a bench beside a lake to hear one of Inori's songs while reminiscing about his days with her.

Ooh useful. Thanks.
 

I think I just know the meaning of "veiled" sound is. I was listening to some Muse just now, and realized how much darker it is on my CAL. Confused, as I remembered it to be brighter, I listened to them on my FXT90 and CAL back. Lo and behold, I think I just gained an understanding in magicspeak and experience. +50 EXP

Also new ED in mouretsu pirates. It's okay I guess.

Sorry for the double post but I think these prices are as low as they can get.

 

TH-7 ($58.87) http://www.juno.co.uk/products/fostex-th7-stereo-headphones-black-purple/420416-01/?currency=USD&utm_source=google_us&utm_medium=organic&utm_campaign=Google%2BShopping

T50RP ($74.99) http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/281431-REG/Fostex_T50_RP_T50RP_Studio_Headphones.html

 

If you're staring at the T50RP link and looking at that $129.99 price, look at the text/link under it. It's actually $74. If there's a more reliable seller or lower price (hopefully both), tell me. Ordering these for my birthday (in 2 week. April 3. :D). This might be the first birthday I might just enjoy.

 

Edit: Here's Juno on ebay.

Why is it more expensive? Anyways, good night. And Headfonia's views. Beautiful pictures of the headphones.

@Previews I know there are various sites besides Randomc and I saw the post about him being busy and of course we've seen that he has a new crew helping out. I've seen a few charts and a couple of preview sites as well but none of them were detailed enough for me to come to conclusion about anything. Randomc always has been so I just hold out for them before I make any in stone decisions or see where my risks will be taken.

 

 

@LittleBusters YES! YES! I held out on the VN so long just for this moment.

Aquarion EVOL was boss. Rinne wasn't as much, but not too bad in its own right.

Alive: The Final Evolution. If I were to make a list, Alive: The Final Evolution will be in the top 5, hell it'll even be in the top 3. First few chapters are not really interesting, art is nothing special and the story might be very dark to suit someones taste but keep on reading and you'll find that there's a progressive improvement in many aspects of the manga such as art, story, characters, plot and much more. What makes it much more interesting is the fact that the writer of Alive, Tadashi Kawashima died after he finished the story so I urge you to read until the end, like it or not.
