S-cry-ed 24-26 (end)

Overall a glorious ending and 26 was litrally like a dream come true even
Just basically Ryuho and Kazu-kun fighting and it was great
. I love these type of anime where characters get self enhancing external superpowers and abilities to do cool things, strike cool poses, say cool lines (especially when two characters are saying the same line or completing one another, which they did a lot), and just plain, at the end of the day be super cool. There was never a dull moment, the plot was intense with a nice mix of emotion and drama. Kazuma was great, Tachibana and his balls, Ryuho and Zetsway, and even Kimishima. (sp). Lots of the minor cast were fun and a pleasure to see continually. I wish there were more or something as it was good. Drastic my Soul indeed, 10/10.

There are people out there who will try and argue that Scryed has a shit ending.

Fucking lunatics

Meh, i thought the last two episodes were anticlimactic and felt stretched out as fuck.
But then again, i didn't like Scryed very much, the second half just keep dragging on and on.

Horizon s2 9

It sure does suck when characters you feel bad for end up on the villain's side. Oh well, cool airship battles!

Looks like the match ups have been set once again, so the next few episodes should be crazy.

Yeah, it was pretty cool seeing fleet battles done Horizon style. Seeing them flank the Musashi and using that rolling wheel formation was an interesting tactic and reminded me of the earlier conversation where different people in the thread were talking about how air or space battles often don't take advantage of the 3D space.

Musashino must be one heck of a driver to drift the ship like that. It's got the gravity lines but it's still about 7km long! Speaking of that, I really like the sense of scale with the other ships. Musashino mentioned they were about the size of small fishing vessels and they certainly looked like little specks compared to the Musashi.

Also looking forward to the next set of battles. I think I'm personally most looking forward to round 2 of Nate vs F. Walsingham. I do wonder how the season will end and if there will be any more. Sales for season one at least have been really good and I think there are currently eleven novels out and season two only covers up to the first four or five I think. That leaves enough room for at least another couple of seasons.

It's a fairly well produced show with excellent animation. I wasn't big on it myself, not being interested by the characters or the more serious overarching narrative it tried to introduce, but episodes 8 and 9 were hilarious and I would wholeheartedly recommend those.

Have you seen episode 26 of The Idolm@ster yet? It's another fun one made up of different short segments, such as mock movie trailers and some of the girls at a karaoke bar and stuff like that. I personally really enjoyed it and it sounds like it might be more of the type of episode you'd be interested in maybe.

Now he'll have to do it all over again with upcoming The Idolm@ster: Shiny Festa.

Sometimes I don't mind harem antics type stuff but personally I thought this scene was really unnecessary. It's true he wronged Katsuie. :(

[quote="Chet Rippo, post: 41830482"]I liked it, but I suck at it. haha[/quote]

I don't own an Xbox and borrowed someone else's I know so I wasn't very good at the one's I own. They were really fun though and you can really see yourself getting better.

I never really considered myself a masochist with games but some of my favorite genres or titles are considered the hardest of all time. [B]Ninja Gaiden Black[/B] is one of my favorite games ever and [B]F-Zero GX[/B] is one of my favorite racing games.

[quote=Chet Rippo]Awesome, so do I. She has such a lovely voice.
Listening to [B]Listen!![/B] as we speak![/QUOTE]

This doesn't have to do with [B]Yoko Hikasa[/B] and I'd imagine the answer will probably be "yes" but just in case, has the K-On! Gaf thread been exposed to the [url="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smN6sEImkug&feature=related"]Jakka Jyan Cat[/url] yet? Personally I love the ending haha.

[quote="Mad Pierrot, post: 41831726"]Huh, I forgot about the existence of the various Sakura Taisen anime. I suppose that dulls the sting somewhat of the fact that I'll never be able to play past entries after loving 5 when it came over a couple of years ago.[/QUOTE]

While probably not your most ideal play method the first two games came together in one package for the PSP which is region free. While the game is still in Japanese there's a FAQ or guide out there where someone translated the game into English. It's text based and I'm not exactly sure how well done the translation is but at least that way you can still play at least the first two games and pretty much know what's going on story wise.

[quote="firehawk12, post: 41836834"]Well, we all know its an excuse to make Beauty Ice Skates to sell to girls either way. lol[/quote]

Yeah, probably haha.

[quote=firehawk12]Yeah, that limitation Happy has is just so Sunny can come in and save her with her own power. I think the same happens to each of the Precures up until Beauty.[/quote]

Yeah, I guess that's probably all it was. Oh well, the shows still pretty fun to watch. :)

[quote=firehawk12]And I've only seen the third movie, since it actually includes characters that I "know" well enough to get anything out of the fanservice. It's going to be weird seeing the Smile Precures being turned into deus ex machina in the next movie though. lol[/quote]

Ah, okay. Yeah I think I'm going to go back and watch some of the earlier series like Heartcatch sometime.

[quote="duckroll, post: 41837598"]I [B]hear[/B] you guys like cute girls...

I only did it because either [B]Mandoric[/B] is slacking, not here right now or doesn't want to be your editor anymore.

Man, F-Zero GX was so aggravating. I have no idea why I even bothered trying the story mode.

I actually don't think so. Unless it was a long time ago and I just don't remember it.
I love it.

Hey, those were the stylistic choices of the person that I commissioned the sig from!

...although it did receive my absolute approval and I displayed it proudly for months, thinking it was the purtiest thing ever.

Digging into my oldest image folder, the me of seven years ago begins to emerge. It's far from an attractive sight. Looking back on the image I supplied for use by my undoubtedly traumatized photoshop monkey, I come to realize that obsession is an ugly, ugly thing.

Destroy the folder and never look back.

I'm so glad that I've lost all but the most recent of my computer stuff. My shame is largely confined to notebooks inside of drawers that I never open.
