I've only ever used 3D when I go to the Barracks in Fire Emblem. Otherwise it's off all the time.

I use it quite a while myself. It's just some games get no 3D time because it doesn't look good.
I was mostly sayin' all that to help Cajun know who the great Snake is.

While technically possible, actually understanding it would certainly make the fetish much less likely, and that was my point.
Only a tiny fraction of a single percentage point of people would ever think this.
The "ambivalence" was there to draw in people like you or cosmic who were willing to fool yourselves into thinking that the show might be something it wasn't... but no, the series always was there to be about incest. Season two may have made that more overt, but that was the main theme of the series from the beginning.
Those hard-coded mental blocks exist for lots of very good reasons, of course.
Katanagatari is a very good series, one of my favorites of that year. If you haven't watched it before though, I'll be interested to see what you think of the last episode and a half...
I stopped even reading the anime threads for like a season and a half in part because of how annoying it was to have to read through (or try to skip over) all of the people talking about that disaster of a series... that wasn't the only reason, but it was one of them. So yeah, I at least hate it in concept, and the writing and story are atrocious as well, going by people who have watched more of it (it starts out as people-dying drama, but eventually turns into harem antics...).
Ugh, don't remind me.
No, watch the first season first, then watch the movies. The first movie in particular would make very little sense if you don't watch the show first; it was a decently good movie, but it didn't do a great job of explaining itself to people who haven't watched the show. Plus the first season was pretty good!
I really liked the first couple of episodes of season two, but then the next couple weren't that great and I stopped watching... I wonder if it gets better again or not.
Hah, don't expect THAT to ever go anywhere. In terms of romance, Slayers is shonen through and through.
try the 3DS XL first before giving the other one away to avoid any buyer's remorse
Super Robot Wars UX Special Edition!! Who cares if the game is shit, the system looks pretty!

A bit late but E3 hype scrambled my brain
Attack on Titan 10
Armin grows a pair and beings to realize his niche in team main characters. Next weeks episode should be pretty exciting.
Gargantia 10
Dat speech by Chamber, dat reveal at the end. This show just gets better and better

Japan got the best special edition 3DS versions.
Since I found out the ending for Oreimo, I don't think I want to watch the rest of the episodes.

Gundam Seed HD Remaster 41
Easily the best two of the three. In episode, I think Shani is the best of them all, his personality, and voice when he gets all into battle there is really intense and adds a whole additional layer of fun to the fight. I kind of wish them for some success as I do want them to stay around. Otherwise, Im really liking all thats going on and how everything is falling into place to converge at this one colony here.
. Good. I kind of really want more Seed if this keeps up, I hope Destiny is comparable.

Natarle v Ramius Dominion v Archangel was rather interesting and quite intense as it just feels a lot is on the line. Friends against Friends unwilling to surrender now waging war through these difficult times, Natarle trying to prove that she is a good captain and what not and actually win with her excellent tactics to prove herself to and shut Azrael up, and then now Yzak/Dearka action going on too, while Kira/Athrun face off against Forbidden Gundam--It just seems so many of one of my favorite types of setups is going on at once that I just am enjoying it much. One thing that was odd was who was the genius that decided to board and send out the Kusanagi? What role does it even have, they should have just boarded the other vessels present instead of getting caught in that trap. And speaking of traps, the scene when Dominion appeared right behind Archangel and Ramius hair was flying behind her and she was so in shock was priceless

I consider myself a Gundam fan, Destiny is garbage.
I probably won't buy a 3ds until they find a way to bypass region lock.

11/10. better than the main series
Who HASN'T done this? At least once?
Garbage is being a bit too kind, isn't it?
I really liked the
Archangel vs. Dominion fights. Some of the best parts of SEED for me.
When you're too mean about Gundam series, people get pissy with you. I learned this.
Godannar 15
Poor, poor Anna. Girl's in over her head here. For starters she should've left her damn cats at home. That said, the most painful part of this entire experience has been watching Goh's brother trying to white knight Anna the whole. damn. time.
Oh, and the Godannar's red form is super sweet. Freaking fire hair is always a cool thing.
High School of the Dead 10
At least now we know why Takagi is such a bitch. Also, bringing a zombie into the compound seems like a hilariously bad idea. And while I agree that electricity is only running because of that stuff, getting clean water onto the compound isn't going to be that hard, really. Not with the numbers they've got here. Food is the real question.
That said, I don't know that I think its a good idea for the group to head out yet. In fact it seems like a baaaad idea. Apparently, firing a rifle atop waterbed breasts causes them to hurt a lot later.
Kinda glad the show brings up that Japanese swords wouldn't be that great for hewing people in twain, but also glad that they bothered to handwave it in favor of awesome.

The main character was changed..Evidence below. Pokemon STYLE.. WHO'S THAT GUNDAM
Shinn's Impulse Gundam Aerial Force Mode
Kira's Strike Freedom Gundam, even Kira could save the show with his coordinator ability.
Birdy the Mighty: Decode - 1
To start, I love the characters their design and their personalities seem very likable. Birdy especially. I started with the dub (given the option, i'll opt to hear my own language if it's good) and I'm liking the casting a lot so far. The production quality seems consistent enough. The animation has a refreshing wealth of energy. Characters are hardly ever moving in a generic and predictable way and that stands out. The action scenes were impressive, and admittedly, were the reason I gave this show a chance in the first place. Not only are they great to look at, but from a standpoint of choreography, they're unconventional, and unique as a result. Some of the backgrounds were a bit harsh on the eyes. Perhaps it was the shading or lack thereof. It didn't bring down the work, but it was jarring at times. The CG in the very beginning, while short, was ugly. Hopefully that's gone.
Not sure what to think of the story so far, but it has potential. Seems a bit like a Men in Black type of scenario. I hope it takes a distinct approach.
Lots of good stuff!

About as good as most other episodes, plus it had Shaoran learning that he
. This was also an episode that kept strongly foreshadowing what I'm sure is the endgame of the show, which is certainly far off if that's in fact what it is.

loves the Sakura in THAT sort of way, which makes this the only normal relationship in this series!

Intense Rock Paper Scissors fight continue using the power of theories and the blind spots behind the theories, as Kaiji finally turned the tables to get his stars back. But that leaves me to wonder what exactly are they going to do now.

No question about it ..
Destiny has an "ok" start , the most impressive nonsense as a middle , a third part where there is the most pathetic fight in the gundam seed universe and the most WTF ending ever.
While it's possible that one might enjoy Destiny , Seed is the superior product and destiny should be thought as nothing but a bad fanfic with pacing issues.

This is the part in every good shounen where it exits the category of "just amusing" and "has potential" and enters the category of "legitimately worth watching/reading". The part where it hits its first stride, where mentioning anything prior will lead people to say "just wait until ____".
Thankfully, it had some superb animation and choreography to accompany this dramatic increase in quality and scale. Really fast-paced episode with some great developments, great action, and greatness all around.
If the rest of the show can keep up this quality, this could very well be in my top 10 for the year, despite the generic start.

Here's hopingMeltdowner isn't dead when this thing is over. I wanna see her in the next swimsuit episode.
This series won't kill a character before adding them to Touma or some character's harem.

You can't even put it in quotes. Kira is always right. Indisputably. If you have a legitimate point at which Kira was wrong, you're wrong, because Kira is never, ever wrong. He's goddamn Jesus Yamato, and he slept with Lacus for your Mecha sins.
Kira is the Son of the God of Mecha. I saw this in a vision. The God of Mecha also looks like Master Asia, but his right hand is all Gundams, and his left is the entire Macross franchise.
Now join me in saying the Yamato's Prayer:
Our Kira, Who Art in Lacus' Pants,
Hallowed Be Thy Newtype Skills

Oh man it's the Arbalest!!
The backgrounds are weird in the first season and all use that cheap-looking filter. They improve in the second season.
You just reminded me that Kira is also some kind of a Newtype :lolololol
Sunrise basically made Kira the most imbalanced character ever.
Why would I have buyers remorse? Is there something different about 3ds xl?
Damn straight! Love how it ties into the OVA.
However OVA Yomiko >>>>> Tv Yomiko.
Well, yeah. Not only does Kira pilot the Freedom with its nuclear reactor and infinite energy supply, as well as its ridiculously OP arsenal that they somehow manage to upgrade for the Strike Freedom, but he is a SEED bearer,
The Ultimate Coordinator
four if you count Ray, even though he is a clone of Rau who is a clone of Mu's father.
And if all of this wasn't enough, he's wrong-proof and has sex with both of his best friends' girlfriends. Both of whom fall into True Love with him.
Kira Yamato is beyond the scope of you mere mortals.

How it feels, how well you can use it, 3D effect, Image quality and whatnot.
Using one sorta dismayed me for a bit, so it led to me leaning more towards a Vita since I already have a 3DS.
