You know amazon Canada offers Prime video now right? We even have the great passage.
Shame we still don't have the console app tho...Watching on PC isn't as fun.
Also I survived my exam!! Time to watch some anime.

It is pretty lame that they started doing simulcast, but then screwed that it seems too.

Yeah, those are the concepts I want to see more of. Plus, this was a much more "mature" anime than what I've been accustoned to watching, so it was much appreciated.
You can just download the app from your US app store of choice (assuming you aren't using platforms that Amazon is boycotting like AppleTV, Chromecast or AndroidTV). Thats certainly what I've done.

I have none of these and amazon seems to have the ps4 app unavailable for Canada, since I searched everywhere for it. So unless there is a wii u app, I'm out of options for now.
Edit:I guess I could create a US account...

Because I hate myself and have too much time on my hands, I finally made a MAL.

60.5% anime affinity with 216 shared, if nothing else MAL is good for tracking (mostly for manga on my end since dealing with 1000 series that range from 1-1000 chapters is a bit tiresome if done all mentally.)
MGS2 is pretty fantastic.

MGS2 is like half of that. MGS2 is more about creating your own bubble reality via confirmation bias and subtle selections made for you, meaning Kojima is actually a genius and MGS2 was prescient in the best way-

You gotta hold onto those 10's.
And watch less bad anime!
A fine approach to take. I basically scored everything in a very arbitrary fashion because I was in a rush to get it finished.
Also, MAL lacks the ability for me to score Mad Bull 34 properly e.g. 3/10 for the actual quality of the series, 10/10 for the entertainment.

Hmm, Jexhius just reminded me that I have a MAL account....
Fuck updating that thing tho. It would take a degree of introspection on my part, and that might kill me this year.

That's why I update things as I go.
Ashame all the streaming apps don't integrate so it could automatically happen like it does with plex/kodi and Trakt.tv

I'm pretty content with everything I've given a 10 so far
LoGH will probably end up a 10, and maybe Diamond is Unbreakable so that'll be 18?
On the flip side I've only got 3 finished manga at 10. Two of them are JoJo...
Heh. My mean is like 5.72. My grading is super bell like though. No 10, no ones and maybe a handful of 2s. Its mostly all 5s and 6s.

most series I drop end up at 4-6 and a lot of series i finish end up at 6.
Its also a lot of context for me, like Eva 3.33 is a 3/10 on my list but its not nearly as bad as some other stuff I've giving a 3/10, but its so disappointing to me I score it lower

4.43 mean.... I made it a vow last year to stop watching less crap lets see how that turned out.
2015 mean: 4.28
2016 mean: 4.15
Still better then 2011's 3.95 (with 75 things started/watched).

I don't rate any anime series I drop, and if I'm inclined to rate something a 6 or below I'm likely to drop it, so my MAL mean is probably higher than a lot of others.
Wait, isn't this like the plot of one of the routes of I/O.
Manga Shared: 1 lol

Actually doing a U.C. Gundam Era Watchathon with my dad. I've seen most of them before, but it's fun seeing what he thinks of them all. Just got to Zeta Gundam after the myriad of 0079/80 stories. That first episode was super rough, he nearly wanted to just drop the whole thing and watch the 90 minute compilation movies instead. I don't blame him really, it's a pretty meh episode. He's warmed up over the last five episodes though.

Maybe as of this month? Also I have tried going in since I'm prime but for some reason it won't work. Wonder if it's because I'm a student.
54.4% affinity, 87 shared. Damn.

I'm a student too and it works.

Speaking of MAL mean score mine is 7.87, it's probaly high since I don't rate show I drop early on.

SIGH. I forgot I only signed up for the student account recently, I am on trial until April. That explains a lot.
Mine hasn't changed the past two years its 5.7. One thing I wonder about if it ignores non scored items or does it count all them as 0's or something.

Non-scored items don't get added into the mean's formula, it just ignores them.
I give 10's that do something special beside being excellent.
So Mob makes the cut, but DIU didn't.

The vast majority of media comfortably sits at around a 6 or 7 out of 10 for me.

Kuromukuro 2 (Rewatch)
Watching this again, I'm struck by how inspired by martial arts the mecha action choreography is. I really like seeing weighty robots that are (mostly) bound by gravity, dodging, weaving, and thrusting as two swordsmen would. The CG in itself is probably about the same level as Sunrise's CG in Gundam the Origin, but the choreography on display here is much better than what I saw in the most recent Origin episode.
I also like how Yukina is immediately made useful as a co-pilot to Kennosuke, despite her freakout at this unexpected situation into which she's been thrown. Her observations of the enemies on the radar and warning Kennosuke of attacks from behind and above end up being key to both of them not getting skewered. It's a good way to sell the dual pilot concept up-front, as well as making Yukina a believably strong character.

Weve ratee numerous anime exactly the same how fitting (fmabrohood, log horizon 2, f/z, jjba for example)
This episode also gives a good sense of timing of events - when Kennosuke wakes up from a nightmare, we later see what Yukina was doing at the time, that was interesting. Also, when the alien mech gets carried away as Kennosuke charges towards it, they don't cut back to Ken monologuing about it but just show him charging towards it and eventually missing, giving the impression that there was no time to do such observational exposition.
Ah yes, the humor in that episode took me in by surprise for a bit. I get where you're coming from but I don't think there's anything wrong with an old man being silly. I get the need to be serious because Rei was under a moral pressure but reality is indifferent to all our troubles. The old man might be about to retire from something he liked but he was ultimately doing it out of his own volition and not because of he had no choice. He realized only later that he could still continue playing after talking to Rei. No matter how silly his reasons were from what he said, there's no denying he liked Shogi.
