Watching the new HxH, mostly to see how much they'll censor, and it seems it'll be a fair amount going by the third episode. Otherwise, the adaptation is pretty solid so far. It's odd seeing the series not being drawn with a bunch of squibbles. I'm also watching Fate/Zero. It's really good so far, but this is my first dive into the Fate universe, so I don't know everything that's going to happen. Maybe that's a good thing, even if it means I'll miss a lot of inside stuff type-moon veterans would pick up on. Have at it.

You can then see the dozens and dozens of references easier in Fate Zero. But you shouldn't have too much trouble. I don't know the full ongoings of what happened in the Zero novels but some might be spoilers for Stay Night later on. But the Fate Stay Night visual novel is always the best narrative rather than the Fate Stay Night anime I reckon. The narrative and complex magical explanations there are amazing that sometimes you feel like the sex scenes are out of place; which the Fate universe really grew out from in the anime adaptations and the family friendly PS2 Reality Nua versions omitted and softified Edited by SonicSP, Oct 21 2011, 10:35 AM.

The world needs only one Small Boss! Posts: 943 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Oct 20, 2011	Right now I'm watching Ika Musume S2. So far it's been a blast, and it's one of those rare times when the 2nd season might just beat it's 1st season. Horizon in the middle of Nowhere. I'm enjoying it, but the fact that it has so much material yet it's only getting a 12 episode run is a huge let down. Hell, it skipped the entire 1st series from what I hear. It's also disappointing the the best character/the main character only gets like 5 minutes of screen time every episode. The cast is just way too big. Guilty Crown: Only 2 episode are out so it's hard to make an opinion yet. They've also not really explained exactly what the political situation is in the world all too well. The 1st episode appealed to me though so I'm going to stick with it. Ben-To!: One of those surprise series this seasons that showed up out of nowhere on my list. Gintama': Show of the season, all seasons!....Because it never goes away. >.> Persona 4: I never really got too far into the game, I stopped at maybe the 10% mark, it it's nice to finally see things play out. Also lol that it's instantly taken over the blu ray/DVD sales charts. Mawaru Penguindrum: Carrying over from last season. I was surprised that it's actually going a full 25 episodes. Pretty rare in this day and age to get over 12. Suite Precure:......Runs

Oh, there will be huge spoilers for F/SN later on. I'm not really watching anything currently. There is stuff that interests me (Fate/Zero, Ika Musume, etc) but I'm finding it hard to work up the effort to actually do so.

Some moments in SN won't be as surprising if you watch Zero first, thus it's better to watch SN first. I guess it's one of those things designed for people who've watched SN. I really suggest marathoning the TV series which follows the Fate route and after that the movie which follows the alternate (and in my opinion, cooler) Unlimited Blade Works route. And I guess if you ever fall deeply in love with FSN anime, get the game and the English fan translation patch. Not to be missed for any FSN fan I assure you.

Having the knowledge just amplifies the experience of Fate/Zero. ...which, by the way, the fourth episode blew me away, it was so awesome. Guilty Crown seems to have gotten off to a pretty good start. It has great potential, methinks. Mirai Nikki is also pretty interesting. Also, anyone checked out C³? First episode is, admittedly, off-putting, but the show does a 180 in the second half of episode 2 and turns...well, you'll have to see XD Edited by ShadowTheGreat, Oct 22 2011, 11:10 PM.

The world needs only one Small Boss! Posts: 943 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Oct 20, 2011	Recently started Last Exile: Fam, the Silver Wing. Overall I already loved it with the 1st episode alone. It looks great, but unlike the original that took a while, this series started off right away. Also Guilty Crown 3 was alright, but nothing really major aside from using the void ability as a gag power. Though even the director himself said that it's not really going to get good until episode 4-6+. (it's 26 total so they're getting introductions out of the way 1st) Mawaru Penguindrum still seems to be awkward as hell, but still entertaining none the less. Horizon in the middle of Nowhere. Ep.1 was amusing, 2 was so so, and 3 was meh. But holy hell ep.4 was awesome. As the plot finally started moving. The Doll vs the Testament mech was awesome as well. I just wish they'd speed things up a bit. 1st episode: Toori: DERP! TOMORROW I'M GOING TO ASK HER OUT!!! Episode 4: Still not that damn day

The world needs only one Small Boss! Posts: 943 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Oct 20, 2011	I was actually surprised that it's even 26 episodes since everything and it's mother these past 5 years or so have just been 12-13 episodes. Especially anything based on a light novel that's not Index. Also randomly, I hate this new 10 bit or 10 whatever encoding method some people are using now. My 8+ year old machine pretty much dies and lags like all hell when using it, and after a while the audio and video are entirely out of sync. =/ Still need to watch the Frontier movies to boot. Heard the 2nd was just awesome, and also ODST EX-Gear troopers or something. But.....;__; http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/40/1319861750311.jpg/ Why do they always take the innocent????

The world needs only one Small Boss! Posts: 943 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Oct 20, 2011	Watched it. Overall it was enjoyable more than the series was, and action was a lot better. And some how Ranka is no longer as annoying. She has a lot more song now though that aren't just re recordings of everyone elses. Not sure how I felt about Brera and a certain Snipers death changed. I guess it's all right since I liked Klan and she gets a happier ending. (Didn't one of her squad also get killed in the series?). That is assuming that it ended up having some change to it all with him coming to terms with her being a loli her they pull something out of left field curing her genetic defect. (Which I'm pretty sure genetics can't be "Cure". >.> With a few more episodes from each so, so far my current standings for each show (not counting comedy shows)is basically Tied for 1st: Last Exile, Fam the Silver Wing. and Horizon in the middle of Nowhere. Exile just took me by surprise. I liked the 1st, but that one took a while for me to enjoy it. Fam just started off awesome. Also Dio, etc. Horizon, well it took a while, but as mentioned DAT Doll vs Testament. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGyrCvPOu2I 3rd: Gundam AGE: So far I'm not THAT amazed by it....At least I wasn't till Episode 4. Woolf just single handedly saved the entire show for me. Emily on the other hand I'm disliking more and more as it goes on. She doesn't seem to view these things from Flit's POV. 4: Guilty Crown: I loving the art style, but they really need start talking more about the plot and background on what's happening. At least they talked about the power, though it turned into a gag. Also the main character ruins it a lot for me. Especially when the Scooge from Lost Christmas is already looking to be a much better lead. 5: Mirai Nikki 6: Fate//Zero Comedy wise 1: Ika Musume S2 2:Mawaru Penguindrum 3: iDOLM@STER Problem with IM is that there's usually only 2-3 of the characters that you actually care for, and the rest just take up screen time.

The world needs only one Small Boss! Posts: 943 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Oct 20, 2011	Goddamn tabs. Posted in the Flit thread. Frontier Brera wasn't actually that bad in his movie form. He was more of a soldier than a complete and total douche bag. Here he was mainly about 40% douche bag. Plus there was some great scene for the 27, and the 25 which did horrible in the same scene in comparison. Though it's hard to say if that's due to pilots or the difference in machines themselves. The Special OPs EX-Gear soldiers were also awesome. Also the only reason I can even think that they spared Michail was for the sole reason of needing someone for that fire bomber sketch. He pretty much does nothing for most of it aside from random cut ins during fights and stuff.

The world needs only one Small Boss! Posts: 943 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Oct 20, 2011	An interview that was made shortly before release. for space Cast Q&A that was done before the movie's release. 1. Who do you like better? Sheryl or Ranka? 2. Do you have any hopes or preferences for the upcoming movie? >Nakamura Yuuichi [Saotome Alto] 1. I like Characters with a strong personality, so it's Sheryl for me. Although Klan Klein's not bad either from another point of view! 2.Please give this "Galaxy Love Story" an ending! Or else I always get yelled at during recording. >Endo Aya [Sheryl Nome] 1. I'm all for Sheryl, the reason is.... You ask me why? Because I'm Endo Aya! 2. I want more lovey dovey scenes with Alto, and I want to know why Bobby's sexual preference is the way it is. >Kuwashima Houko [Nanase Matsuura; Canaria Berstein] 1.Because my role is Nanase, so of course I support Ranka-chan! 2. I had two roles in the TV series so I had plently of screen time. I would like to be more active in the movie! >Nakajima Megumi [Ranka Lee] 1. My favorite character is actually Mihael. Rather than supporting Klan, I imagine myself has her. (laugh) I have the same feelings for Mihael as Klan does? please take me too! (laugh) Every female character in MF has distinct strong personalities, so all of the girls are easy to relate to. If I had to pick...can I choose all? 2. In the last episode in the TV series, Ranka and Sheryl announced their rivalry officially. So I hope to see a 'powered up' version of both of them in the movie! I'm curious as to how their relationship with alto will be like on the big screen. Also, I'd like to see more of their duets and fights on stage. So we've had that Budoukan live, how about another live? Kawamori Director? (laugh) >Ookawa Tooru [Ship captain Jeffrey Wilder] 1.I choose Sheryl. How to say this... I'm defenseless against those kind of girls who stand up for themselves against all kinds of hardhip. 2. Even though it's impossible, I'd like to pilot a fighter! Captain Jeffery MUST have flown when he was younger, right? >Kobashi Sanae [Cathy Glass] 1. Klan Klein! Her micron version is just so cute when she blushes... 2.Please end the triangular! I also want to see more of Sheryl and Ranka's fight on stage! >Hoshi Souichiri [Brera Sterne] 1. I like Sheryl. My first impression of her as the Galaxy Fairy is just too amazing. 2. Please add Brera into the triangular too! (laugh) >Inoue Kikuko [Grace O'Conner] 1.Um... I'm backing down from this question! They all have such different charm points it's hard to choose. (laugh) 2. I want Grace to be even more of a btch! I want to challenge the most sadistic character in the history of Macross! >Kamiya Hiroshi [Mihael Blanc]* 1. I'm for Klan for a lot of reasons... Anyway, I just really like Klan! 2.I just hope Mihael can accept Klan's feelings and hope for a happy ending, even though it's almost impossible. No matter how it ends, I'll work hard as Mihael! >Sugita Tomokazu [Leon Mishima] 1. If the sad Klan joins the triangular too... Mihael will come back as a Vajra and get them all I suppose. (laugh) 2.I'll do my best and work seriously according to the script! If MF gets into Genesis of Aquarion, then that'll be great. >Miyake Kenta [Bobby Margot; Saotome Ranzou] 1.Hohoho, of course I support Ozma! 2. Please give Bobby more screen time! Let Bobby sing on the silver screen! >Konishi Katsuyuki [Ozma Lee] 1. Ranka of course! She's my sister! 2. Don't kill me if I say this, but please don't make me bake any more pine cakes. (laugh) >Fukuyama Jun [Luca Angeloni] 1. Of course it's Sheryl! I very much respect her strong will and high self-esteem! 2.Please give the VB-6 more chances! Staff Q&A STAFF'S ANSWER --Looks like everyone wants an end to the triangular. Director Kawamori: I want to give an answer too, but does everything have to fall on Alto's shoulders? It's an interesting problem... Co-director/storyboard Kikuchu: Well Kuwashima-san (Nanase) wants to get more action.. Script writer Yoshino: We could combine that with Fukuyama-san (Luca)'s wishes and let the VB-6 crush the AF. Kawamori: What if we add a powerful jet? Turn it into a heavy duty hit machine.(laugh( --Inoue Kukiko-san's really full of energy, isn't she? Kawamori: There are lots of sadistic type characters, which type to turn Grace into is an interesting question. Kikuchu: Didn't Sugita san's comment relate to the Genesis of Aquarion? Kawamori: Yea. Technically our triangular is the same as an Aquarion. [an Aquarion is a mecha combined from three seperate mecha] Perhaps if it passes through a temporal shift, our AF-25's can combine? Yoshino: Alto, Luca and Mihael combining... Nah. --Will Endo Aya-san's wishes come true? Yoshino: Compared to Ranka, Alto and Sheryl have alot more lovey dovey scenes right? Kawamori: I wish Endo Aya-san would specifically say what she wants them to do. (laugh) Kikuchi: We wouldn't be able to put THAT on screen. (laugh) Kawamori: Determining from age, Captain Jeffery could have fought in the first galaxy wars! Yoshino: He'd be able to ride the VF-1 then! The one in Mihoshi Gakuen! --Kitani-san's reply was really moving. Kawamori: I'd like to make Mihael and Klan happy too, but from my point of view it depends on if it will change history. TOYOGUCHI TALK [Klan's seiyuu] --Klan Klein's quite popular among the production staff, starting with Yoshino the writer, many other members of the staff want Klan to star in the movie. Toyoguchi: Klan first debuted in the fourth episode. Watching her become macronized and micronized I though she was a comic relief at first. (laugh) But she became very serious in the second half... I think Klan as alot of charm about her that has gone unnoticed, so I will work harder to show that! It's too much to have Klan star, but it's great to be liked by so many people. --Some even want Klan to sing? Toyoguchi: It's too pretentious to sing in front of May'n and Megumi-chan, but if this happens then I will try my best! Macro Klan or mico Klan. Can I even sing that well? (laugh) --What hopes do you have for the Movie? Toyoguchi: Much more screen time. (laugh) Just asking, which Klan does the audience like better? Macro or micro? It's weird asking, since it's one person. But I want to know which Klan the audience wants to see more of. --If Klan became the star of the movie, what kind of story would you like? Toyoguchi: A happy ending is the best of course! Even if it changes the history it's fine. As long as Mihael survives. Klan's a really stubborn girl and she really loves Mihael, I'd like more scenes showing that side of her... Let's give up on Macross F and Do Macross K! (laugh). Director Kawamori, Yoshino-san, I'm entrusting Klan to you guys! It's kind of ironic that so much of Klan made it into the interview, along with Mihael surviving. Since I decided to watch the 1st one and, In the entire 3-4 hours of both movies combined, there is almost no real relationship or interaction between them at all. Klan barely talked, and they had maybe 3 minutes worth of scenes together in both movies total. >Ookawa Tooru [Ship captain Jeffrey Wilder] 2. Even though it's impossible, I'd like to pilot a fighter! Captain Jeffery MUST have flown when he was younger, right? Kawamori: Determining from age, Captain Jeffery could have fought in the first galaxy wars! Yoshino: He'd be able to ride the VF-1 then! The one in Mihoshi Gakuen! OVA WHEN?

Currently testing out Unicorn OST 2. Track 3, "More..." is one i've been wanting since the very 1st OVA. It's the violin/piano version of Unicorn that played when Cardias registered Banana-G as the pilot. Track 4: "Mad-NUG" is easily the best track of all. (The one that played in the end fight after Deguza got killed in 3) Can't say I really cared for the rest since they were all pretty meh or just remixes of the older BGMs.

It's got stellar production values. This. The show's been great fun so far; hell, it certainly moved its plot forward faster than Fate/Stay Night ever did. The only real complaints I've had so far are how you really need to play/watch F/SN before this; Zero explains a lot about itself but not really everything essential, and it mercilessly spoils major plot points for F/SN. Also I pretty much know how this show is going since I spoiled myself silly on the novels, but I only have myself to blame. Oh, and little Rin did not need a whole episode to herself, though the Kariya scene was a nice touch. As a Tsukihime fan myself, I'm not sure what there'd be to be bitter about. Shiki can totally kill Servants after all. </troll mode>

Even if Ledouche is still there for some reason. But ALL FIVE Madoka girls? Really japan? Homerun I can understand, in fact I CAN'T understand why she's not 1. And Madoka is believable as well. http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/1382/1323503705265.jpg Kyokou and the headless horsemen with her 10 minutes of screen time are arguable, But Sayaka of all people? She was bitch queen of whore island. Hell, did they even bring her back in the new world?

Rin's needless episode aside I've really enjoyed it, particularly episode 11 and the Gate of Booze. The show's loving attention to detail in the particularly gruesome sequences is somewhat....worrisome, however. I would like to see more of Berserker though; he and his primary Noble Phantasm are my favorite of the bunch and I'm eager to see the animated versions of his later scenes.

But so far I've not started F0 since I'm barely starting the original F/SN VN thanks to Cyborg. How long does it usually take to clear the game?

(Just not internal monologues and when they're talking to themselves) As long as it's not Clannad long. Last I heard that things reaches almost 300 hours to do all routs.

The world needs only one Small Boss! Posts: 943 Group: Members Member #19 Joined: Oct 20, 2011	I like what little they've shown of the new main mech. (I'll assume it's another Nirvash type). Though the colors remind me of Tiger from Tiger and Bunny. Also wondering what direction they're going with since the last Nirvash never really had any weapons, (aside from magical ass pulling) and the whole thing with it/Renton/Eureka was more of a pacifist route. This one flat out has beam rifle. Also in that as far as I could tell, Trapper essentially no longer existed on the planet since it reverted back to earth, so I'm also wondering how they'll handle the reffing stuff. Also thought that the kid there was one of Renton and Eureka's kids they showed on the final DVD cover that takes place post series, but he doesn't match either. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l139/Zerouette/Mecha/Eureka%20seveN/dvd13.jpg Though he's still clearly a male Eureka.

The Thread Killer Posts: 113 Group: Members Member #10 Joined: Oct 15, 2011	So, just finished off Gundam ZZ. (Spoilers ahead?) Admittedly, during the first bit I was thinking it was as bad as everyone made it out to be (altough I had also heard it got better later on). Ugh, I just wanted to throw something at the characters. I believe the "turn for the better" point might occur for most people when they land on Earth/the OP song changes, but I think for me it was when Elpeo Puru (or Ple, whatever) first showed up. >.> Either way, I was satisfied with the final half of the series. As I said earlier, it got much better after a point, but I really got into it after the colony drop (hell, I marathoned the last seven episodes today, because I'm a loser who is alone on Christmas lol). But, factoring in the first dozen episodes... I'd give it overall a 7/10. After I clean some series out of my backlog (Cowboy Bebop/Noir/Rosario+Vampire), I'll be getting started on Victory. ...perhaps I should say "wish me luck" in watching it and getting through it?
