Speaking of Crystal maiden I've mostly been going tranquils into mek into bkb on her, followed by aghs if I find the spare money. Should I be doing something else item wise?
That build seems very greedy
Mek is especially bad on CM because her mana pool is already very small early game and Mek makes it even smaller
Brown Boots - Urn - Wand - Force/Euls - Glimmer Cape/BKB (depending on how the game is going) - Blink - Sheep/Shivas
The more aggressively you roam the better. At level 3 CM can easily gank any lane.
Anime is stupid but not as stupid as the people who like it.
There are some good anime that are short (less than 30 eps) and worth watching
Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann
Trigun (English dub is good)
Coyboy Beebop (English dub is good)
Samurai Champloo
Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex
