Ok, I just finished Kill la Kill. Thoughts, not typed elaborately due to a desire to not over think and thus contradict myself. Over hyped to shit. Good, certainly. Great? Compared to many things, yes. Fantastic? No. The whole thing about not letting fanservice take away from the writing? It did it, I didn't care about tits or ass through all of it. On the other hand I'd say it was the comedy that dragged it down. Certainly a show that could have benefited from Cerebus syndrome a la Gurren Lagann, especially in the last few episodes. I love you Mako but ffs that was NOT the time. Speaking of, jesus christ but if they didn't have a few shared production staff I'd be shocked because KLK whiffed of GL till the very end, sans the well timed use of death that makes GL so much better imo. Meanwhile, Soundtrack is the one part of the show that lived up to it's rep imo. Not Don't Lose Your Way, not Ragyos theme (Bluten something? idk). Easily my favourite part of the soundtrack was Sanageyamas theme, holy fuck was that tune was badass. Continuing on, the best characters were easily Sanageyama and Gamagoori. They both get the title of Best girl. Satsuki and Ryuko be damned. Gamagoori pulling through at the transmiter and Sanageyama taking off the kids gloves were easily my favourite parts of the show, yes I worded those carefully to avoid spoilers. Sadly the worst characters I have to say were Tsumugu and Aikuro (The teacher, I think.) By the end they were just so irrelevant, it was just sad. Especially the lackluster way they kept getting sat the fuck down. I'm genuinely sad they didn't get a moment just for themselves. I'm just going to end all this with a precautionary IMO, cuz I feel like this is one of the more controversial shows you can see. Still, good watch, just not the best.

The birth of an Assery. Wondrous in it's own right.

I dunno, I just play games.

HA! I won the first one. 'M fuckin' heartless

Birthday, be happy. Go enjoy that edit of Hikigaya Batman on GoGoanime, treat yourself.

aye aye cap'n. Now to find all the profiles again EDIT: Done, and Ragnar didn't use spoilers, which makes me happy.

Well, I'm watching like two things right now because I just can't be bothered to watch anything else. OPM and Rakudai. Oh, and fairy tale I guess.

Claude was silent for once, in anticipation of the speech to come. This was the real start, paperwork and bureaucracy behind him. Here they would all start learning how to be better than the best, better than themselves. Claude nodded to Wolt, leading the way to their destination to see most people had already arrived. Claude eyes skimmed the students faces, picking out those he was already acquainted with and those he was not. "Well Wolt, let's enjoy our last moments of medicority."

Seeing as , from what I've heard so far, there were 5 coordinated bombings, shootings and a hostage situation with death tolls reportedly at 140+, we can assume it was certainly a coordinated attack to cause exactly what's happening here, chaos, fear and turmoil. So far, the terror has been spread by attacking the capitol of France.

Haas it been confirmed as terrorists like ISIS yet? Sky news has speculated a suicide bombing and reports of possible terrorism

7/10.

how dd none of you make the 420 joke in that chat

Ok people. Anyone paying attention to my recent statuses etc will have the vague recollection that I have been reading the manga Binbougami ga. Binbougami ga is a comedy story following Sakura Ichiko, a girl born with a lot of Fortune, or as we know it luck. This breaks the world around her so the misfortune god Momiji, the best woman in the history of fucking ever, is sent to fix the problem and take Sakura's Fortune, resulting in fights and conflicts aplenty alongside a consistently expanding and lovable cast of characters. This manga is a case of Cerebus syndrome. For those that don't know, this means it shifts more towards drama and actual continuity later on to form a more cohesive plot. Further, there is a transition to a battle manga in the bigger arcs that blends comedy and action together so very well. Whilst this won't interest those who like really gritty, gory and generally dark plots the show manages to capture this constant atmosphere of fun and tongue in cheek humour that charms the audience, making the moments when it uses dramatic elements much more powerful and emotionally evocative than anything I read in Tokyo Ghoul or Parasyte and even Deadman wonderland comes second to this. There is a good amount of character development all around, especially with the main cast, even some of the simpler characters like the best priest ever. and most obviously notable with Ichiko's personality and her relationship with Momiji. It's wonderfully witty, it's paced very well and the ending... My God. It's so hard for a work to get much emotional reaction out of me. I have to have spent a lot of time with it if it isn't a genuine piece of video media, it's so hard to incite strong emotions without appropriate music and pacing of speech etc, etc. But still I'd rank this as a tear jerker of the likes of Angel beats and Ano hana. You know what's coming, it's predictable in what goes down but the execution of the story and the use of panels, the time spent with every character and the relationships you see form with all these wonderful people, they make you care so, so much. Even the Big Bad of the series is relatable, the guy has a pretty sad story of his own that's told quite well. Note: Watch the Anime first. It'll give you more of an idea of who the characters are meant to be and if you don't feel like continuing after the initial dramatic arc, I doubt you'll want to keep going into the manga.

And why would there be lethal force? If Nikki remained prone and didn't do jack, there would be absolutely no call at all for lethality to be used

8/10, another one I feel like would be better if I had le context

Not gonna lie, kinda wanted to force strats hand and stick around with the cops.

Nikki grimaced, a malmirrored reflection of the grin from above. Evidently she was wanted elsewhere, why else would they deliberately interfere and antagonise the police in such a way that Nikki would be considered a worse perpetrator? "So much for trusting in the mercy of the law, now there's no chance of that happening." Nikki grumbled as she scrambled onto her feet, looking around at the disabled guards. Now the question was: Did she get back onto the boat? With the man who wanted her to act as some sort of soldier in a war on some shady bad guys? Nikki wasn't interested in heroism. Then again, the boat was probably the best way of getting away and not being shoved onto the other side of the morality fence. Grumbling curses, Nikki jogged up the boarding plank, glaring at Khan. "I don't know if it was you specifically or just someone in your little group but you just fucked my chances of resolving things smoothly with that little move."
