Maybe I should get regular too we can both be bad at it. Actually, I kinda suck at all fighting games, period. Still like to play them though!

-The 19th, yes, and it was addicting! I couldn't stop myself from playing it!
-I don't really remember any memorable moments on the stream, so I can't say much about it. I just completely tune out smash, I only watched some SFxT and a little Marvel.
I didn't like the demo (That I played way back with Z.O.E.). Will the full game change my mind?

I was just making my peace with it.
And I might have to see how that Kanna image translates to an avatar. I haven't caught up with Tamako Market yet, and haven't had the chance to take in all that Kanna has to offer.
I did good work

What's Tamako market even about? All I know is that there's a chicken and some girls.
I dunno, why didn't you like it?
You've perfectly described it.

I don't really know either.

It's about relationships! Or more importantly, it's a nice slice of life with a cute cast. The cast chemistry isn't as strong as in K-On, unfortunately.

Which is kinda hard when you have a giant cast of characters. None of them get enough time to shine.

Oh my god... that avatar... so good. Keep this one.
I think that's a big part of it. The interactions just don't feel as natural as they do in K-On. Don't get me wrong; I love Tamako Market and I really like the interactions in it. I just think K-On feels so natural because I really feel like it captures the feeling of a bunch of friends hanging out and having fun. I've never done any of the things in K-On with my friends though, lol.
Lol, usually it takes me 10-20 minutes to comb through the episode again and pick a nice shot. This one took me 2 minutes to pick and crop. It's just so great. But I'm committing to an avatar an episode. ;_;
Maybe if there aren't any shots as good as this one, I'll keep it next week.
Hmm... I recognize this avatar, I think I've seen you around other threads I lurk. Welcome!
But this one is so good.

K-ON! is like a small group of close friends. Tamako is like a big group of friends of a friend that happens to have a talking bird.
Yeah, I really like it too
. It'll probably be like the glasses Tamako avatar, where I won't want to replace it next week unless something really good appears.This is the glasses Tamako avatar, by the way. I think it's my favorite so far, maybe tied with this current one.
Lol, that's a good way to describe it. I think that closeness definitely describes something I feel like Tamako Market is missing. Everyone in K-On felt really close to each other. All of their personalities bounced off of each other in a lot of fun ways during conversations, and I feel like the characters' personalities really shone through. In Tamako Market, the interactions feel a lot more general to me. They don't have the same sense of closeness.

Yeah, the girls in K-ON! really compliment each other really well. Like how Ritsu and Mio's personalities really drive some scenes, but Ritsu also has some crazy antics with Yui and Mio with Azusa, and so on.
The Tamako characters don't really have that. Kanna's antics would have been a perfect fit in the K-ON! world, but she has no one to bounce off with in Tamako. Tamako herself is just too clueless and Midori is too busy having the hots for Tamako.

Awesome, now to see those K-ON! figures out on display! That would be lovely.
Should I wait to get all 5 first or just unbox them as I get them?
Chet Rippo
Member
If I were in your position, I would have unboxed them right away, but you're not me, so I couldn't tell you.
I checked prices on ebay again and to get a NEW Mio or Azusa is going to cost me close to 200 each. Less if Im extremely lucky.
Chet Rippo
Member
Yeah, those are probably going to cost you the most no matter where you look.
I never played X2 either (I would get it if PS3 actually played PS2 games). But I did play the Sailor Moon games for Saturn and Genesis.
Haha maybe, I feel you. I'm no pro, but I do enjoy playing the games.
Chet Rippo

I never did get a Sega Saturn.

Why do you require a NEW one? I followed Chet's advice and watched for a used one and it popped up one day on AmiAmi. The condition was rated 'A' and basically it looked like it had never been opened when I received it, even the box was in mint condition.
Because I love that new figure smell (eww)
Seriously though, I just like having never touched merchandise that hasnt been tampered with. The only time I will make an exception is if it is otherwise impossible to find or several hundreds of dollars.
Neither did I actually, the SM game is the only game I played for it.
I do want to get a Saturn in the future, or hope SEGA releases a Saturn Collection for PS3.
Chet Rippo

I do enjoy that smell.

Demand for K-ON merch reflects who the best characters are. No surprise there.
Ritsu and Mugi were the most expensive because of the large instruments. Mio and Azusa next followed by Yui.
Anyway, the deed is done. I work two extra days next week anyway and that will easily cover both of them. Now just waiting.
I hate waiting
I just realized that this small fraction of all those images is probably worth more than what I've spent on all the anime-related products I've ever bought in my entire lifetime. Or at least damn near close to it.
The price I pay for hnnng these days.
Its like a drug habit, except constructive.
Also, there are two full bookshelves of anime I did not take photos of because there are no figurines around them.
I didnt just start collecting all this yesterday though. It has been over years and years. Since 1999 at least.

Azunyan is always worth the wait.

Asks questions so Ezalc doesn't have to
Since 1999? Damn, I only recently started watching anime outside of shonens.
