  1. In an interview, the producer said his vision for the game is to be more like Star Ocean 3 and less like Star Ocean 4 I am hyped as FUCK
  2. voted for Impa Smash needs another heavy femme fighter Samus is lonely
  3. Here! Anyone else who's here, could you call 8136904316 so I can link up with somebody? Pweeeeeez?
  4. So Tauce convinced me to hit this shit up this year. If anyone would be so magnanimous as to help me with hotel room floor space or the like, I would reward them as graciously as I am able to. hit me up with a pm or smth!
  5. Attack on Titan is the Blue Gender of low-fantasy anime it's a gritty world-builder with few permanent characters and a revolving door of meat to grind the world presented is simply too dangerous for most of the characters you spend time with to actually develop on-screen; anime is a damn hard medium to handle, and most studios have to choose their storytelling battles very carefully death, in most cases (lots of exceptions), isn't there for you the viewer to react to; it's there to set up the characters remaining, and their experiences of terror, anger, fear, often hopelessness/resignation, are put on gratuitous display for your viewing pleasure ultimately I wasn't a huge fan of what's been presented so far, but I wouldn't say the twists and deaths are cheap in any sense; they drive home a serious point of the world as presented in the story, namely that mankind is nothing more than a caged animal. for all its cleverness and rage, it is pathetic and defenseless outside of the iron bars that the Walls represent
  6. the weed episode is my favorite because WHAT THE HELL WEED DOESN'T DO THAT
  7. Oh that makes sense having an opinion on what parts of a series you enjoy over what parts you don't is totally cool, and now that I see that's where your coming from, I rescind a lot of what i said prior cheers
  8. you don't own Gundam, and you have absolutely no authority from which to determine what someone else's creative work is or isn't. Sunrise sure thought it was a Gundam show, and they make Gundam. Quit this kind of purist-fan pretentiousness, man, it's not good for you. you're going to... not watch something because you somehow KNOW a priori that it has no substance? Can you explain how that works? Because i've said that exact same thing about a show, only to be proven hilariously wrong. You really shouldn't be so quick to judge the quality of something you haven't watched. How do you know it has no substance? If you don't think you're going to enjoy something and don't want to watch it, that's fine. everybody has to make that judgment sometimes. But this whole "it's not a REAL Gundam show" thing is just silly, dude. Fans have no authority to determine what is and isn't part of a creator's body of work. It kinda sounds to me like you want shows to make you feel smart for "getting" them, which is no way wrong, but I'd be wary of letting it keep you from quality content. Granted, I haven't even watched all of G Gundam, so I don't know if it's really good or not, but I certainly wouldn't deign to already know one way or the other, even with a partial viewing to go on.
  9. the modern tournament is derived from the tradition of combat by champion throughout history, geopolitics has often been determined by "heroic" single combat what is so absurd about a fictional implementation of an historical fact of human interaction, albeit on a grander scale also, shonen is often fundamentally about breaking down complex situations to deeply personal desires, e.g. love

  14. First of all, there is no ad hominem in Shadow's posts. His rebuttals may be on the spiny side of discourse method, but he is addressing your points just fine. Be wary of falling back on complaints of personal attack when someone isn't nice to your position. Second, and I'm not making a judgment either way here, but if someone tells you that your position is confusing, it might be a wise practice to go back over your statements to make sure you aren't obfuscating your point. There is a difference between being confused and pointing something out as confusing. Especially in this kind of forum, where all responses are a matter of record and easy to reread, it can never hurt to vet yourself (and others). Lastly, facts have varying truth values. A fact is not necessarily a truth, nor a truth a fact. There is no rule that says a fact is true by necessity. Just a nitpick.
  15. old school trance is always refreshing to see done well that being said, the track didn't pull me too far into it outside of its quality of execution 7/10
  16. this game is my personal half-life 3 I'm so worn out and beaten down by disappointing setbacks and cancellations that short of someone walking up and shoving a real physical copy of the game in my face, I simply cannot ever believe that it will come out
  17. Just got done watching Ping Pong the Animation. One of the best I've seen in a good while. Highly recommend it, especially for people who aren't usually into sports anime (like me). Also just finished my second watch-through of Puella Magi Madoka Magica. Fantastic the first time, twice as good the second. You really need to see it at least twice to catch all the little details, as well as the absolutely S-Tier photography, composition, light, and color. Also, keep in mind, this is a horror anime, so not for the faint of heart, but worth it if you can stomach darker themes.
  18. you WOULD play diddy troll ass motherfucker
  19. I'm about 4 episodes in, watching it sporadically with some other friends whenever we get together it's pretty badass so far
