It's interesting that some people actually think KyoAni is "betraying" anyone. There isn't any kind of notion similar to that in the Japanese community. I think the image KyoAni has made for itself over here is slightly different from its home turf. In Japan they are pretty much just known for their consistent animation quality, if only that.

If your interest in anime is dimming, you should start moving to visual novels.

It's less that my anime interest is dimming, but the choices of what I like is lesser. I mean, I guess I can't get into pointless anime anymore. Pointless in that it has next to no big plot progression. That's just most "cute girls doing faack all cute things" shows. Comedy on the other hand is a different thing. One can argue that too have hardly any plot progression, but it carried me on the basis of being funny, not just either ogling at 2D characters you can never get or at the ecchiness of it all that is becoming more and more like soft porn than before.

But even with comedy, I seem hard to be pleased. Normal run-of-the-mill comedy is boring with the usual "cardboard MC punched by hyperagressive tsundere", "yelling for no reason" joke, ecchi jokes. Looking at the recent past seasons, the only comedy anime I watched and severely like are only Joshiraku and Nichibros, with Muromi-san being the latest addition, and arguably Maou-sama is comedy too.

Again, same with a few romcoms. Maou-sama can count I guess, the last one that I remember liking is Toradora! and Ookami-san. Most other recent ones I just... harem that panders to the fans that brings in the most money to make more pandering anime. :\

Don't let me start with oreimo lol. Anyone should be able to see who the final pairing was going to be, and I pity those that wish otherwise and hope that their pipe dream pairing will be the final one.

I guess newer shows are just a good excuse to dive back in time to catch up on must-watches. That's why I'm starting with NGE.

wrote this especially for ImperialX back then.

A lot of people think I'm some kind of stoner...I listen to stoner/psychedelic music, have long hair and a beard and I'm a Greenpeace member.

But the truth is....I really don't like stoner people

Yeah, I hate alot of stoners.... There are like those bad kids who are pot heads and stuff that I hate, but I know some guys that smoke but are just like normal people and they're cool and stuff.

Heh, you call that long hair :3

My parents threaten to take away all my computer stuff due to it being past my eyebrows...

Oh nice, what is happening!?
Now you look like a stoned 19 year old
+1

But I've been 100% clean for like 2 1/2 months now, really proud of myself for that! No smoking or drinking or anything, even though I went to my friend where I normally drink at's house today.

Yeah a new haircut would help.

But me and Jayme love it!

Just bought Mark of the Ninja and it came with The Maw, Foreign Legion, and Guns of Icarus freebies

Played the first level of Mark of the Ninja. It's surprisingly really fun 

I loved Mark of the Ninja!!!
@Jgray that psycho-pass wallpaper looks like a rip off of Persona 4!
@Panther Nice Shirt!!!

Anygame is a good game in my book if it gets at least $1/hour back to me

I paid $3.75 for Mark of the Ninja and 3 other games. I now have about 6 hours into MotN which makes it a good game to me

Similarily, I have 21 mins into Zeno Clash which I bought for $1. Not a good game to be but of course, I am barely in it.

Woah, does that mean that you consider Bioshock Infinite a bad game?!

Steins;Gate is melting my brain right now. Too intense. Need to stop watching.

I forgot to mention that this only applies to games I buy. all games I buy are bought due to there being a huge sale.

Would I pay $60 for Bioshock Infinite? No. The game felt like modern art. Forced, expected, and doing stuff that makes you go 'just stop, you are trying to be wordly and thoughtful outside the box, but just stop'.

Which Ep are you on?

 

[bowei006]

Which Ep are you on?

Probably just got past episode 12 and is now in the finishing phases

Oh man...the turning point was so awesome. I love the pacing in S;G, I think it's quite brilliant

Episode 14 now. The last 2 or 3 once were just.....wow.
You both win a cookie.

 

[Idsynchrono_24]

LOL. I thought you were actually somewhere far along, it gets WAY more intense

I didn't think so.
I watched it intently taking note of everything. And I watched it in a marathon.

It's pacing is a bit ridiculous. This anime had to follow the seasonal airings as does any anime. Meaning between 11-13 episodes or 22-25 episodes. This meant that it had a lot of filler for the purpose of a filler. Obviously those fillers did have character development, but barely in my opinion.

Oh well, it's 2:30 am here and I can't take any more right now.

Still waiting for jgray to pop up and tell the panda that he has the worst taste in anime ever
That usually seems to happen when bowei is criticising a popular series.

I like Steins Gate, however, for reasons of it needing to fit a certain time, its pacing for the first half was extremely not that good.

I feel it uses a very similar trick employed by Takashi Miike in Audition. You already knew what kind of show you were getting into with either Audition and S;G, but the strangely mundane and uneventful pacing of both somehow makes you forget that, and when the **** hits the fan, it's incredibly jarring. That and the innocent nature of the D-Mails propagating into a tragic chain of events is pretty awesome. It doesn't stand up as well on repeat viewings I agree, but I thought it was awesome the first time through
