The thread is kinda dead today.

Nothing to really quote or comment on...

Welp, I've gotta start heading back to campus now (been on break since noon)...

True dat.
I'll just go to bed.


I started my birthday on Fakku (last night at 12:00AM) and I'll end it that way too.
Puh. To think people use their birthday as an excuse to consume a lot of alcohol and 'have a great time'!. I, for one, prefer to spend my birthdays in isolation surrounded by the things that I hold dear.

Not that I care about my birthday anyways. It's just another day in the live, the only difference being that you can acquire presents.

Problem? 

 

Stress

 

And......I was watching the Code Geass movie

 

Impressions?:

8/10? Not yet known

Initially, the art seemed a bit bland and SO 2001 style but that was soon rectified with awesome mech movements and styles that only months of computer rendering could make. The Brittanian mechs are clearly inspired from the Romans while the EU's feel..CarthagE? Or some Rome enemy or something. Great styling and movements and functionality though.

 

Then we get the norm hesit and what not and the wishy washy girl and boy movements and a foreshadowing of everything. Akito may have a geass and the Xin dude has a geass close to what lelouch had. Only difference was that it seems that it may be "Easier" to use as he didn't need to say express directions.

 

and then..the end.

 

There was little focus on development of anything in this episodic movie but more of a getting EVERYTHING set up in this episode. The theme and conflicts and ..yet AGAIN undermined Japanese people(there are other people you know?)  and also all the terrorists and brief mentions of the war with the Black Knights. Although this does raise continuity issues, those issues are burshed off...asthis is a movie and some things do change. The big one is how the EU seems so strong in the movie but weak arsed in the anime.

I decided to not even watch that movie.

yerp....but some more anime comes out today!

 

I saw, not watching any of the anime tht came out today or yesterday so its quite meaningless to me. On the other hand, I am soon embarking on a Gundam 00 rewatch :)

Demoing Manveru's boss battle test right now:

I think it sounds pretty good. My pet peeve is that moment when the left channel had quite a bit more sound. I'm sensitive to channel imbalance. Especially when one instrument or track plays exclusively in one ear.

 

Sometimes the soundstage is a bit cramped but nothing harsh or metallic which is quite nice :)

 

Overall a decent thing. I would like a higher quality..instruments but thats just another pet peeve where I like high quality individual hearable sounds. They arne't mushed together on my setup but.. I just prefer the opposite of the beginning guitarish parts

 

Need to watch that.

What's this about?

 

I didn't watch anything yesterday but I have some decent amount of hype for chuunibyou and I like hayate.

You got stuff to watch tomorrow Bowei?

No idea what is comming out this week

 

I don't like those two shows and I dislike the comedy that is hayate

 

Yeah watch it :) All the nostalgia comes in

 

Their mech deisngs...were pretty good imo
