I wonder how many times that .gif has been posted in this thread...
How many times have you posted it? Hm.

Probably over 90% of the time it was me.
DUDE! DUDE! DUDE! DUDE! DUDE! I've missed you soooo much! Look at the anime I watch now!

haha same here man, how have you been?
From One Piece to K-on!, nice! Sadly, I havent been watching much anime though :/ (think the last series I (re)watched was Robotech in the summer) Too busy with school, work, and other things. I don't even play videogames as much anymore (although, I keep buying games lol). Come save me!
So what have I been missing?

The K-ON! movie from the sounds of it.

Sweet, will check that out.
I've been good, so far not much happening on the "you know what" front. Been feeling somewhat well lately, so fingers crossed on that one! Everything else is going pretty smoothly.
I know, right? I decided to just check it out one day since it was so popular and, well... the results speak for themselves. I still watch One Piece, but I decided to give things beyond shounen-like anime a chance.
There is no saving you from that, I do the exact same thing. "Hey, look, this game is on sale for cheap, I should pick it up and play it!" Then I end up friggin' playing more DMC4 or NG2. Still big into fighters, but those basically have infinite replay value.
Recently airing? Well, JoJo's has been kicking ass so far. There's also Chuunibyou, Oniai, and the hilarious Girls und Panzer.
I can see what you've been missing K-On!-wise was covered nicely by Chet. The movie is almost two hours long, so make yourself something nice before you start watching it.

Mine's actually already out there on my Twitter. It's been the same pic for a couple years now, just too lazy to change it. Don't really care if my face is out there or not, especially if it can get me a date or something
.Oh yeah, I'm not quite dead yet, just recovering from having all my neurons fried last week at training. Finally have something resembling a normal schedule for this coming week
. I did manage to finish my rewatch of K-ON!! and the movie. Just gets better the more I watch, but I'm always sad when I'm done .Chet Rippo

I'm glad I could help!
Sundays for me aren't a whole lot different from Saturdays.Sunday is such a boring day
Good to hear you're not dead!Mine's actually already out there on my Twitter. It's been the same pic for a couple years now, just too lazy to change it. Don't really care if my face is out there or not, especially if it can get me a date or something

Recently I've been watching K-ON!! again too thanks to Uraizen's gift. So far it's basically the same thing as it was in the first season, though I haven't gotten to the episode where they talk shit about English. Still looking forward to what they do with that.
I do not look forward to getting old.
Same, but that happens to me all the time...

I spent the morning watching the movie, just finished it.
I think I have something in my eye. Pardon me...
I'm glad they included a song from the HTT II album during the classroom concert session. Using more of them like Tokimeki Sugar or Honey Sweet Tea Time probably would have felt contrived or forced if they dotted them across the performances throughout the movie, so I guess that's why they didn't go further than popping in the one song as a cameo of sorts. That's about the only "grievance" that I had with the movie (if you could even call it that), everything was awesome.

It would have been pretty cool.
Yeah, that's probably why I like Saturdays more.

Yup, I have already seen two of K-On GAF thanks to twitter.
I want to rewatch the first season sometime. I don't know if I could rewatch the second. Some of the episodes in season two were boring!
This is why nobody likes Sundays.
I think I like the slower pace in S2 more. I watched some of the episodes again and I really enjoyed all of them. I honestly can't imagine watching S1 again because I feel like it'd be really fast-paced in comparison.
I guess that's why I liked S1 more, I felt the pacing in S2 was too slow at times for my taste.
Ah well, I can understand that. I like slower anime in general and I always feel like I would like shows to take things a bit slower, but most people have your view, I think.
I really need to watch K-On S1 again and see if it's really faster. It might just be because it's 13 episodes that I feel this way.

Season 2 has Jun, therefore it's better.
Chet Rippo

Then you'd love the manga.
Well, I guess I have been putting off Haibane Renmei for too long anyway. Time to watch it.
Koi Kaze was good too, but the subject matter is touchy.
Chet Rippo
Member
You're crazy. Season 2 is love.
Maybe it's just me, but Mio as Homura seems kinda out of place amongst the rest of them.
I usually prefer the manga version of anything.
Yes, yes, I know. Unpopular Opinions™
Episode 12's second half is still amazing. If it weren't for the song they made Azusa, that moment alone would have been better than the entirety of season two.

Hey, the K-On anime had the songs, so that's not one of those cases.
Chet Rippo

I was just thinking of in terms of the overall theme of the show compared to the other shows represented, like Oreimo. But I guess it makes sense when you phrase it like you did.

Yes! <3
I was gonna read the other 2 volumes of the manga, but I got sidetracked
Started playing Dwarf Fortress again, and before I knew it, 6 hours had passed.

Heh X( Well, I have the morning off tomorrow, so I'll probably power through them then. I really like the covers of the manga.
But, but...

Replace Dwarf Fortress with any fighter I enjoy and you have perfectly described me. "Sure, I'll play with you for 30 min," then all of a sudden 3 hours have passed.

That's good to hear! btw, I peeked into the GGT a few weeks ago to see what everyone was up to...and immediately left once I saw that someone posted that Thanksgiving song -__________-
distgfx going mainstream confirmed! xD
Its the Newegg sales and codes that are getting me haha.
lol Chuunibyou. My friend has been getting on my case about not watching that show.
Sounds like pizza time
Add me to the bunch of haters for Sunday. Spending the day writing essays ._.
All you guys are making want to get into GNF mode and just go on a K-on! marathon.

I'm not to hot on the art for the first 2 volumes, but I really like the art on the third and fouth ones. I also really like the way Kakifly colors them.
melichrous
Member
Yeah, the colour pages are real nice
The only thing about the art I found weird, was that Ritsu looks a little strange. It's probably cause I watched the anime first. I don't really know how to explain it, she just looks a little.. off..?Edit:Just checked to see what those pics in your quote were, and they look good
They special edition covers or something? Cause mine arent like that They don't talk about stuff I like anymore, so I rarely post. The majority of the old members have basically become a Skype group anyway. "Uraaaaaizen, play One Piece with me! I want to get the trophies." "Rairai, play playstation all stars with us!" "Uraaaaaizen, play P4A with me." Good times.
Which still happen quite often.
I thought watching shounen already made me mainstream.
Go for it, go nuts.
Yeah, the colour pages are real nice
Nodoka is the one that looks off to me.

Hmm, didn't really notice that. Her face seems way more rounded. Not sure though, she wasn't really in the first 2 volumes that much that I noticed, so I can't really comment on it yet

I think as the series got more popular, there were a bunch of custom dust cover jackets or whatever they're called for the manga's later volume releases in Japan. It was between the magazine it came in (Manga Time Kirara) or retailer exclusives like Melonbooks, hence why you see a bunch of designs for a single volume alone.
As a Ritsu fan, there was one scene from the manga that I wish was adapted into the second season:
When they test a couple different hairstyles on Ritsu, and THEY ALL LOOK GOOD ON HER
