I'm not a fan of the CG :-/ In certain shows (I just completed Ingress which was all CG and enjoyed it), but I don't like moe cg, their stiff necks and movement are really distracting for me.

Well, CG is pretty much impossible to not have in anime these days. It's just a matter of how well it's hidden.

--------------------

Recently started dabbing with Honkai Impact a bit. Fun style and I can turn off my brain once in a while, but I probably won't play it too much in public while waiting for public transit, so it might not get much play time in the long run.

Indeed it's all about how you use it. That's why I mentioned a CG show I did enjoy, I just don't want mah moe girls being cg during slice of life scenes :confounded:

same here, I'm not anti CG, I just happen to think that it's often done badly enough to lower the quality of the anime. I was 100% anti CG before Karas. that's when I first though "oh ok, it's not flawlessly integrated but it gives it's own style to the cinematic". that and my love toward the music during fights and other intense moments. speaking of that music, I watched Shingeki no bahamut: virgin soul not long ago, and I was ready to drop it when came some action scene in the first episode, and the music had me instantly remember Karas. I was like "it must be the same Ike something who composed the soundtrack, that's just too similar in style". and for once I happened to be correct. which pretty much counts as half the reason why I kept watching ^_^.

anybody reading Solo leveling? I'm rarely attracted to Korean stuff, but this one really works for me despite being a patchwork of stuff we've all seen a billion times. I wouldn't put it as high as "The breaker", but I'm like a junky waiting for new chapters. with that said, I anticipate that it will turn to crap pretty soon, like Bleach and many others where the characters become OP too fast. but so far it's been cray cray and part of the troubles he gets in come from the set up(no spoiler), so it's more believable than the weird successions of incredible events we often get in adventure/action stories. /me likes.
also I registered on mangadex in October and I've already got myself a list of 600+ titles just by checking the updates... many are completed stuff I've read in the past, or stuff I noted as dropped to avoid being tempted to look into it again. but still, I wouldn't have guessed that I was such a nolife if I couldn't see the numbers.
luckily I keep spending all my free time caring about stuff that can't ever serve any purpose IRL. imagine how dangerous it would be if I was that passionate about something that could contribute to society!!!! scary thought. :ghost:

Yeah some single-episode arcs weren't as good, but bi-episode arcs were generally nice.
Personally I didn't mind the lack of focus on main characters, one of my favourite arc is the pumpkin one where they were pretty much irrelevant poi. Buf of cuz the last arc was best.


wot thats like IKEA level pricing poi
I actually prefer without armrest. Currently sitting an armless Embody at home, love the freedom or lack of blockage.



wow Bang Dream S2 is much better than expected, I actually like the CG poi
Roselia is dope


Using an IKEA MARKUS chair at the moment, might upgrade one day. The high headrest is detrimental to listening to speakers but so damn comfortable.

How are the seat cushions on the higher end one? Mine is kinda caved in after a few years.

I didn't like Polygon Pictures CG stuffs, motion smoothness was real problem there. But Sanzigen CG works for me, loved Arpeggio too :D
And consider that Bang Dream S1 had kinda bad production quality, S2 CG is definitely much better imo. And that Roselia performance is just awesome.
I enjoyed Ingress too, didn't bothered by the CG at all.

My 1yr+ Embody caved in too.
Had a full mesh chair (Torch Iris) for 3yrs+ before Embody, that one never caved. I guess Aeron would not too.

OG Galaxy S3 still holding up today.

With all the money companies spend on "premium" build quality these days, new flagship phones must last longer than those archaic phones from a few years back, right? ...right?

:p
