No, it's around the E3, so LA?
 
And yeah, looks awkward, but I get what it's supposed to mean. Plus some people speculate it might be e-celebs?
 
 
 
 
Frankly, I'm not sure. The Witcher sure is huge, but it was even before, at least for nerds - and they sure appreciate the devs. No idea about the common folks, but they most likely know it.

 
Ahh gatcha on LA. I was confused by how much english was in the poster lol.
 
Cool on CDPR identiy in Poland. I kinda hoped they were a bit bigger in terms of pop culture identiy but oh well. For me, I just can't name many other things I identify with Poland past CDPR and Soviet technology. Seeing as how Witcher 2 was provided as a presidential present to Obama from Poland years back, I would expect it to be a national pride. I mean considering that it's the current world holder of the most number of GOTY awards ever.
  How is this series anyways? Seems fairly popular.

It's fairly good.
 
If the first two episodes don't get you to like it, then you know you won't. So fairly easy to tell if you'll enjoy it long term :D
 
I have not found a shounen I liked in over a decade but Academia is the first to be something I honestly enjoy.
 
It's not for people that are expecting more than it can give off the premise. But it pulls it off extremely well. Give the first two episodes a try. You'll know after you finish them if you will like it.

  Awesome episode.
 
We must protect that smile. 
 
But...YOU TAKE THAT BACK ON OUR PRECIOUS EMF!
 
EMF FTW!
 
The makers of the anime just tweeted that ARC3 will start next week and that Subaru will suffer even more

How did Emillia become EMF?
 
Well but she's pretty irrelevant in this arc, tho her smile in the end of the ep was great

EA conference was....okay.

Titanfall 2 looks better than the new CoD.
Don't care about sportsball games.
This one Star Wars game by the Dead Space devs might be cool (the two seconds of totally not ingame footage looked nice).
Battlefield 1 looks nice. Wonder how they will ruin it.

Right.


Point well taken.


To anyone that has seen Serial Experiments Lain 




Please tell me if I am right on my hunch of what the series is about. I'm having a hard time fully finishing the series so I want to know if I got the memo right

I believe the series is about current humanity being infatuated with their devices and thus unable to seperate reality from what is "fake" and online. Lain embodies a medium through animation that allows us to "see" these results and also as a plot antic to try to also stimulate the perception or idea on if she is "real" or not or if she is just the embodiment of the "net". Furthermore, the psyche devices seems to speak of the oncomming revolution to furthermore integrate humans with the net making it even harder to differentitate.


Am I right or is there something MORE that the anime is about?


Help me out FAM!


Been a while but seems reasonable. Should rewatch...

For some reason I initially read it as Elfen Lied and I was like... How the ***** did you get that out of it?!? =)

Been catching up on movies lately. Just finally watched Perfect Blue. Satoshi Kon... What a f*ing loss. Definitely not as straightforward as it would have you think... I think. Will have to rewatch, too.

You forgot "the cute indie game we'll show for a few seconds to make people think we still have some resemblance of a heart".

  On the Boku no Hero Academia OP (The DAY)
 
Why.......do......they.....put....a....FRICKING high pitch sound in the beginning of the song!?
 

 
It's pretty distracting to me. Almost like they are trying to replicate the 15.7KHz sound from old CRT tvs as a reference to Deku watching All Might on TV. 
 
My guess on it is that the producers or song writers wanted to add in the effect but seeing as they are older, didn't have it bother them as much


Nice to know I am not alone poi, but this one is rather fine as there are more sounds going on and the period is short.
 
Such high pitch noise is also one of the reasons I hate Keikkai Sensen which was even worse, 17khz noise for 10+ seconds or longer without other backgound sounds >.<

I thought the first two episodes were kinda depressing without much hook that I almost dropped it, its was after ep3 where it started to show some light to me..

So...FRICKING....ANNOYING. The band is called Porno Graffiti and likes to scream. Good songs but I honestly think they or the production just can't seem to hear or be annoyed by the sound anymore which is why it made it in.The only reason it is still standable to listen is because one guy was kinda smart enough not to make it too loud.
 
 
 
 
I liked the serial nature of it without going too far. Really enjoyed it as a hook for people that wanted more serial stuff but then got them hooked on the rest of the series.

but no, not a fan of idol anime.
didn't like the anime for iM@S (CG) and LL (S2), not even gonna try watching this.

It was that half-broken Japanese that I loved. Would've been more convincing if they had gotten an actual non-native speaker (or a weeb) for that role.
