  1. First. Gen 1 in the end was the most boring generation to me. It may have been the start of everything but it did not age well in my opinion. What was…the last anime series you watched?
  2. So I started watching Rokka no Yuusha and Million Doll yesterday and caught up to them. Rokka no Yuusha: I love this one. It gave me Tales of Symphonia vibes both in the original premise and the tone of the series. It's fun. The characters are likable, and the series keeps me watching and thinking, "Awww, is the episode already over." Heck, I actually decided to start reading the Light Novels for this series and no anime has done that for me since To Aru Majutsu no Index and Chrome Shelled Regios. Million Doll: Another idol series but it gives its own charm in that all of the episodes are quite short (8 minutes for episode 1 and 4 for the rest) but at the same time do a wonderful job of getting me to like these characters. Rather than focusing only on the idols, it actually focuses on the fans and what role they end up playing in making idol units go large. I would say, if you can muster up a good 10 minutes, watch the first two episodes. It may surprise you.
  3. Yuzuki walked over and picked up a cup of hot chocolate before walking back and blowing at the surface of the liquid. She didn't like coffee. It contained caffeine…and she did not like the effects caffeine would have on someone like her. In the end, tea was ideal for someone like her but she'd settle with the one that had no caffeine. As she sat down, she listened to the man. "If we're talking about 10000 year old history, I would assume you're talking about the start of the ice age and the birth of the first modern human beings, correct?" She said before taking a sip out of the cup.
  4. Not to be pedantic but…scratch that. I'm gonna be a bit pedantic. If you're going for checking up on nervous system damage, you need to check for confusion, fatigue/muscle weakness, changes in vision (e.g. tracking eye movements is a correct way), possible dizziness/vertigo/loss of balance, and finally reflexes. For reflexes, the little hammer the doctor hits your knees with is an example of this. For general motor function, it's best to have the patient do various motor tests such as getting them to stand up and move various parts of their bodies, especially the limbs. Lastly signals reaching the extremities does not necessarily mean full nervous system function. The best way to go about this is the above. Sorry for sounding so pedantic and pushy on this. I just felt that I needed to mention this.
  5. Idol anime is such an underrated genre in the medium. Anime fans seem to ignore them or put them on the lower end of the totem pole despite how good they can be. :(

      I haven't watched any, but given the stuff I'm currently watching in my usual anime page... yeah I can't really complain about any anime genres XD

      The one I'm looking forward to watching is Miss Monochrome. I find the plot interesting for that one.

      I'm guilty of dismissing it. Stereotypes of kawaii desuuuuuuu annoy me so meh

  6. You thought it would be SHIA but it turns out that it was I, Hiss! SHIA. This is bound to be right at some point...
  7. Ruri smiled. Gunther was willing to take the other part of the duet so, Ruri could only hope that their voices would meld well enough to sound good when they sung. She brought up the microphone to ready herself for the first line and took her position. With that, she let the first line go. "Now praying for your painful cry…" She paused to allow Gunther to do her line before letting her voice out again. "Fu- Ooh yeah…FLY!" There was actually a sense of harmony. Her clear and sharp voice created a beautiful contrast with Gunther's up until the last word of that line. Gunther's decision to shout the word 'fly' had caught Ruri off-guard. She felt her heart nearly jump out of her throat as she heard that and felt herself hiccuping on the proper crescendo of the note. It was quite overwhelming, albeit somewhat interesting to see. But she still had a song she wanted to sing. So, she would sing. Using the quick pause she had between the lines, she regained her bearings before starting the next line. "Even the thousands of millions of prayers." She paused to let Gunther sing the next line. One she sang to herself in her head. Even with the warm light. "Are a dark devilishness that is like a jail that swallows up everything." She strengthened her voice, much like Gunther had done. She refused to let herself be overshadowed and overwhelmed again. Like karma. "Like tripping." You aren't able to just throw away the experience from you. "And so, I become true to myself and run right through!" She matched Gunther's power. "Reach, Reach to the speeding PULSE of our connected hearts! Strongly, strongly, just gazing--" At the Sirus of the heart. She paused to allow Gunther's line to continue before pushing the final line and great declaration of the chorus. "I will overcome the darkness!" But something felt off. This was a duet. The power of the duet came both in the near-telepathic connection between the singers, the ability to understand the partner through song. There were points where the perfectly memorized internal voice singing the song and Gunther's own voice were off by half-seconds during switches. Though she was pushing to let herself out, she still felt a lack of the same from her partner whose name she did not even know. They were not connected enough, so the duet was still flawed, even if their voices were in harmony. She wanted to fix that. So, she turned to her partner during the instrumental break before she could hit her next line and started off, with a sharp and clear voice. "A noise that seems to tangle together…"
  8. 7/10 Needs some work in the saturation department. But wow…haven't seen anything related to Katekyo Hitman Reborn in forever.
  9. 9 Wood…wait I think I forgot to carry the 1... But did she really sell seashells at the seashore?
  10. I have none. Absurdity or Calmness?
  11. That moment when you just want to shout "Get a room" at a pair of characters.

  12. 8/10 A bit creepy though something feels off about the style...
  13. Gen 1: Favorite: Sabrina or Erika (Huge fan of their designs and they were both great in the manga) Least Favorite: Brock (Let's just say he is a bad match when your first game is Pokemon Yellow) Gen 2: Favorite: Jasmine (I love her character and she was kind of my wake-up call to train more Pokemon than just my Feraligatr) Least Favorite: Clair (People give Whitney flack for being a tough battle and then being a crybaby who didn't give you your badge immediately. What about Clair? At least with Whitney, you get it after walking a few steps. With Clair…I did not ask for this side quest to satisfy your nature as a sore loser…) Gen 3: Favorite: Hard to pick between Wattson, Winona, and the Twins (The manga really made me love all of them. Wattson is just one of those jovial characters who pulls you along in his pace. Winona is an elegant character who had some really nice development in the manga, and the Twins…also influenced by their roles in the manga) Least Favorite: Umm…Juan, I guess. (He was lacking, really…) Gen 4: Favorite: Candice. Candice. Candice. (One cannot understate how much I love this character, especially due to the influence I got from the manga.) Least Favorite: Fantina (Not really a fan of the design) Gen 5: Favorite: Iris/Drayden (They had some pretty good development in the games and I feel like the two are part of a whole due to the interactions we see between them in B2W2's Memory Link) Least Favorite: Lenora (In a game full of well-written gym leaders, she felt kinda stale…) Gen 6: Favorite: Korrina (I need not delve further. I just wish we could have faced off with M-Lucario in the gym...) Least Favorite: Grant (Yeah…not really a fan…) Reborn: Favorite: Shelly (She's one of those characters I feel that I can somewhat relate to. Shy and feeling overshadowed by others. Really, I feel this kind of special connection to her…) Least Favorite: Hardy (Because I already have two rock gym leaders on my least favorite list. Let's make it 3 )
  14. 9/10 Pretty good looking. I assume that's a guy dressing to look like a Lucario. No. Just no.
  15. There's something sublime about scenes that make you consistently have feels no matter how many times you read/watch/play them.

  16. There were two figures Nagi could see. One was a very familiar figure, a girl she had once carried to the hospital on a dark night about eight days ago. The other was likely the one she was looking for seeing as this person had immediately exuded hostility at Nagi's sight. It was not a terrible situation nor was it one she was not used to. Negotiations with clients had a wide variety of starting points. In the case of hostility, especially when one is trying to open negotiations, it was important to be open and show a sense of openness to allow for easing tension from the start. Nagi opened up her arms slightly while still keeping them close to her sides and showed open and empty palms out. "Hikaru, I presume?" She talked with a calm, yet welcoming tone. Unlike in normal interactions, she had to be careful with her words as well as her body language. "My name is Nagi. I am a proxy sent by Noriko, a leader of the city's Protectors Faction, in order to open a dialogue with you."
  17. 600 Posts, huh…Just 66 more till I hit that milestone.

  18. 6/10 tfw you will never be able to play as Axel in the game.
  19. Yuzuki stayed in the seat she found earlier and silently watched the scene unfold around her. She realized that someone like her who generally kept her emotions suppressed would probably have reacted more calmly in that situation. If she was not the type to suppress her emotions, she would feel quite proud of that but that would be a contradiction. So, she simply just watched with a neutral expression. After Yuuki had delivered his little spiel to get the rest to calm down, Yuzuki silently nodded to express her agreement.
  20. Today, I learned that to avoid a pit full of spikes, one must blend into the crowd.

  21. Alright. Thanks. I just wanted to make sure. Sorry again if I came off as a bit pushy.
