Epic green solar flares:

Heart cells infused with green fluorescent protein. XD

It still looks like green solar flares.

  The whole concept is super great but they fugged it up by making the MC not very likeable, throwing in unnecessary mech fights (yeah, that's a thing) and just generally putting in too much nonsense.
I really like the artstyle though and the quality of the animations and the CG stuff is really really high. I also love all these super nutty characters :D
They should have just made a wizard version of Law&Order. That would have been sweet!
Or call it Wizard Baristas and produce a series about wizards making coffee at Starbucks. Anime of the century.


The Sub-par Best Friends really have the best fanart:

Wow, I from what I heard of it, I wouldn't have suspected Mechs in it. If it was a version of Law&Order, I'm sure Pat would be all over that. It sounds interesting, too bad they screwed the pooch on it.
 
They do have some great fanart.

  Stock fans of my case and ....everything

tyvm panda :D 
Yeah, forgot about stock fans coming with the case -_-
 
Many Noctua.
Such quiet.
Much expensive.
 
I needed fans and they were the only decent ones available in a retail computer shop, I'm sure there are heaps better performing/value fans out there, but I'm not going to cry over a few decibels or degrees.

Yeah, the clerk who was at the store told me the same about noctua/corsair. ASDF. Oh well. 
  I have all Aero Cool 140mm fans that run at about 800rpm. Nice and quiet :)

Ty :D
 
 
Ok. So... hm. wut. Looks like I didn't miss much. Hm...  what was it.
Oh. Yeah, there's another Putin fanatic like Bowei in my class.

Really, the only company that did was Nokia. Now, not sure if that legacy would be continued, since Nokia is basically dead and integrating into the Microsoft hegemony. Maybe Apple coul- pffffffffffffffft.


And here I I thought Sony would've at least be the next best thing for smartphone camera innovation, but apparently not so much. RIP Nokia.


Uhm...

Yes, it's a heavily locked down and reskinned version of Android but it still runs on Android.


Pfft.

It's aimed for emerging markets, aimed to be as low priced as possible, and have as basic of a tech as possible. And it won't last long more than 2 generations at most, optimistically, once MS finished all the protocols of acquiring Nokia. So, RIP Nokia. MS won't do jack **** with the innovation Nokia built up, not the way that screams "Nokia" in any sense, that is.

Android doesn't bring anything much if it's not locked down hard with Google's services.

Random anime notes...
 
Hamatora: I think its not bad from the start, but the character design is somehow a put down to me. But now the show is going quite good that I don't mind that anymore. Well planned events, and characters actually has their own characteristics. And I like how the show tell you that the MC is smart through his behaviour, actions, words etc, not simply just a line of statement like "the xxx-est xxxxx" etc. (Smartness of character is very hard to develop unlike other characteristics, as it demands at least equal smartness of the story writer)
 
Toaru Hikuushi: I think the original story should be quite good, and the anime seems to follow it quite faithfully, so overall its pretty good. I just hope that the ending better don't be a too heavy one...
 
Nisekoi: I wasn't optimistic about this from the start. The first few episodes were somehow interesting, but soon I feel boring, jokes don't get me, and love comedy without story/progress, hmm... I don't think I will like the original manga either. A little similiar case like Chuu2byou, Kyoukaisen no Kanata, to me. Btw I never get Onodera, she is almost 100% transparent, even more Akarin than Akari.
 
Mahou Sensou: Seriously, this is very entertaining. I would say this is the kind of comedy that only selected individuals can understand. From the happenings in the anime so far, I would expect the original novel to be simply stupid. But the anime managed to summary it and present in such a serious and entertaining way, which I appreciate :D
 
Magi: This has been really interesting since the start of the warfare despite of the A-1 animation quality. And oh the godly ED.
 
Gundam BF: Why Hayami Saori's character always so adorable >_<
 
Saki: I don't know why. But this is the one I will first double-click when a bunch of new episodes downloaded on Monday...
 
Chuu2byou: Another case where I think the original novel is the limiting factor, the animation itself is well done though. But even though I enjoyed s1, I really didn't hope for a s2. I do like Mori-sama though. Kyoani's recent choices of light novel adoption (Hyouka, Chuu2Byou, Kanata) seem really off to me. Yeah Hyouka animation was fabulous, but I don't expect such wonder to happen often.
 
Kill la Kill: Okay, this is not bad. But its like hmm... happennings so far were too well within my expectation. The story is actually logical and simple, and the animation style doesn't get me. Satsuki-sama is good, but I want some supprise from the clothes side..
 
Sakura Trick: Kiss is not just fanservice here, here I see pure sweetness, pure happiness. Though my most favourite character isn't likely to have kiss scene..
 
Log Horizon: My No.1 among airing shows since the start. Never challenged.
 
Strike the Blood: One of the very few shows where I actually enjoy some service scenes. Overall the animation quality is okayish, fighting scenes somehow lame though.
 
Wake Up Girls: The story is very interesting, though the animation quality is orz.
 
Golden Time: This show is amazing, I'm on Panda's side with this. But I also don't expect too many to like this, as I think its even harder to get than Toradora.
 
Aikatsu: Long series idol show ftw~
 

 
Btw, bought camera recently (Sony RX100m2, like the form factor and convenience). Now preparing for my trip to Japan at the end of this month...

I have the "old" RX100.
Best compact camera ever ♥

Look at all the cool things you can do with it!

  I stopped reading the manga 1-2 years ago
 
I'm only about 2 episodes ahead of the anime in terms of manga material.

 
I still enjoy and read the manga don't get me wrong (up to 108 I think). 
 
But it's kind of weird for a 22 year old sitting in a spot watching this type of anime on the laptop.
 
Btw
 
I've discovered what guro manga is today. Quite disturbing.

It's the Porn Grind of Anime.

No man it's absolute ******** up schit. H meets dismemberment and gore and stuff. Read a few on pururin (which has some decent romance based H I read once in a moon). 
 
Regardless of guro or not still doesn't meet the level of What, scarring memories of some really dark themed NTR based H I've read randomly in the past. That schit's still stuck in my head.

I can't or....I don't want to believe that there are people out there who "like" schiit like this.
