And then factor in the penultimate episode, which was a J.K. Rowling style bloodbath.  As a result, the end twist just felt stale and redundant.  Can't they let the main characters have some degree of happiness?!?!?!?  Instead of the intended effect of a sad, bittersweet feeling, they just made alot of people(including me) feel brief sadness that turned into anger.(The opening instrumental bit of Damage Inc. captures the feeling pretty well).  There's nothing wrong with a good grand greek tragedy *cough* Operation: Mindcrime *cough*, but I came to see a crazy, over-the top super robot action-comedy to provide an escape from the barrage of depressing stories I had to suffer through in English class (i.e. The Pigman, Of Mice And Men etc.). Needless to say it made my terrible depression even worse.  But still after all that, it remains my all-time favorite anime series.

The MH1C works on Android and iPhone and most MP3 players, although its mic and volume controls are a bit spotty on Android and iPhone as its not fully compatible, some work well, some don't work and etc etc.

 

Price is currently USD $27 including shipping for me. Do not buy MH1, MH1 is the one that only works for Sony Ericson phones. You can tell the difference as the MH1C does not have the green Sony Ericcson logo on the back. And the plug is slightly different.

 

Dropping your name is NOT an option huh? Do you even have the desk space. This unit is 3/4 the size of a Schiit Asgard IF we go with the black case on Taobao. 6mm of solid aluminum on the front panel feels amazing.

 

If you want to wait, I'll be getting them in a week, and I can also leave my comments on what I think about them.

 

This reminds me of when I had Vortex help me with my french homework.

 

You can't be serious that you don't know who that is? He is fricking Joe Bloggs!!

Hmm... not gonna get it then. I have my SE215 for music, unless...

 

But the same driver I presume?

 

When there's a will, there's a way. 

 

Do it then. I'll be waiting. Too bad you can't compare to SE215

 

You study french too?

 

I NEVER KNEW!!! I thought "Joe" as in an American name instead of "Jo" as in Joseph

I have seen and read enough romances and shoujou's where melodrama and angst angst angst just gets annoying. I wish to call it unique. Usuaully we see the angry jelous girl try to ruin it almost immidately. Although at one point we had 
Warning: Spoiler! (Click to show) It was pretty nice how they worked that in there by making normal shojou viewers cautius of that girl but then defuse it nicely. The MC girl also visually looks different than most other girls. I prefer long hair so I would know 

Anime is more popular in France, grab a train over

Hopefuly the tao bao guys gets back to us soon

Yep I study french.

 

It is the same driver but CLIEOS said the MH1 is warmer.

 

Joe Bloggs is a random place holder name used in European English speaking countries. In the princeton review that I studied from, Joe Bloggs is a "dumb" (by Asian standards) test taker who easily falls into common sense traps.

On a semi-related note, I started reading Lovely Complex on Friday. Nothing happened in first volume, and I didn't get any further than that despite 'reading' for seven hours in the manga kissa. It was way too gezellig.
I plan on going to a con in France some time, since they're much bigger than in the Netherlands. Then again, train costs are rather high at ~€300 for a two-way ticket to Paris.
What's amazing about France is that they sell manga in the frigging supermarket.
Yes he does, and I owned him in it too. We once had an email conversation in French.
I quote:
That was my grand moment of victory.

I heard Lovely Complex was a nice shojou read. Our sub thread recommended it.

 We had like 2 sentence exchange and I gave up as I didn't want to use French and because your level was probably higher.

Dam...HOW AND WHERE DIDYOU PULL THAT out of your.....I don't even.
