Dude, some of us have been pushing it hard for a while. Glad you're picking it up now.
I love the fan art little gag of Paras and her. XD It's great.
Thanks.
Nice avatar.

Composers for Mega Man games usually get changed up with every sequel. It's why usually the best tracks of the entire series are usually found within specific games. IE that's why X1's OST shits all over X2 and X3's OST.

The best part of the look of the look of Nozaki-kun is the joke eyes. Every time I see them I get a little bit more happy.
That as well, truth of the matter, they probably really shouldn't have went for that design in the first place. I wouldn't have mind them being actually...you know, more insect based or something.

I think they wanted the horror of finding giant humanoid cockroaches to be as scary as possible. So the best solutions these Japanese guys had was to make them... look like black guys with really exaggerated features.
Because that's what they find scary.
Woof.
Just type in Terra Formers on google images and they pop up.

Just google terra formars cockroaches and you'll understand.
Wow.. Huh.. They.. Look like slightly disproportionate people.. I can see what the argument is now... I thought they looked more monsterous...
This is actually well put together, fantastic work!
Thanks. It's still missing some things to make it better.. Like background audio track of the snake eater whisper and some people haven't been put in yet.
That's the big problem, if they actually looked like monster it would be fine, you know like you would assume giant cockroaches to be. But those are just unsettling, it really turns me off from looking at the series.
It is a pretty big problem. I thought everyone was talking about a giant cockroach that looked somewhat human.. Not a human that looked somewhat cockroach like..
I'll probably still read it.
I'm going to pass out now. Good night Frienders.

It's an entertaining read with a really dark cloud hanging over it. I'm looking forward to checking out the Blu-Ray releases
Beautiful, just have to get in front of a pc now.

Man, Call of Cthulu fucking sucks. Like the worst aspects of survival horror. I'm so glad they end the LP prematurely.
Amazing, it actually sounds Great!
I don't even recognise myself in it
I still can't believe that I did this whole singing thing,we should do it again sometime. Good job BestGaf!

It was a good LP, but the game looks super archaic and it wasn't very fun to actually watch them play. In my opinion.

I guess the writer wanted to go for some early colonial analogy, it's just executed extremely poorly. It's also easy for us to spot it's faults because that story has been done better before, but might not be all that common in Japan (what with shutting themselves off to the rest of the world for so long).
But hey, watching a bunch of totally-not-black bug people brutally murderize a bunch of other people along with some Attack on Titan level super cereal drama is fun at least, if the casual racism doesn't bother you too much.
From what I gathered the game became worse further on, so not much was lost even though it looked like it would be fun.

I did enjoy it a lot.
Evangelion is quite a trip. Glad you seemed to enjoy it.
I tried to subtly ask a girl out by asking her to watch the rebuilds with me when she ever visits our town since she moved to a different state. since she loves Eva, bit this failed since she said she may not come back which made me sad for 2 reasons.
I might as well watch the rebuilds by myself

Oh man...just got back home after an unexpected drunken night with friends. First thing I did was watch Woolie in Japan. I know I give him shit but it's so cool to see him enjoy Japan and have fun.

I recommend watching the entire series and EoE a second time before the Rebuild. I know that sounds crazy, but watching the series a second time is like watching a different show, because so much shit stands out and you'll piece everything together, realizing how much was foreshadowed. The Rebuilds have a theory around them that they're a continuation of the series in a rewound timeloop, so watching the series a second time will get you more familiar with everything and you'll be able to enjoy more of the subtle stuff, especially 3.0, which I liked for the amount of crazy stuff that I noticed that a lot of people seemed not to.
This is obviously not necessary and I understand people 1. not being insane and 2. not wanting to watch the same thing again right afterwards, but it's still really fun a second time around, so even if it's not immediately, I do recommend a second viewing down the road at some point.
And the inevitable question; series ending or EoE ending?

I said movie, Dok got pissed.
And if I do go through a second time, maybe in a few months, what should I be looking for?
also that song at the EoE...woof

Certain things will stand out to you naturally, things that might have stood out the first time that you just didn't have the information available, but primarily any conversation Gendo has at any point is super interesting the second time. Specifically the episode where Asuka shows up has some cool shit you probably didn't notice the first time.
And yeah, Komm Susser Tod is fucking great, so perfect for that scene. The N64 game has a super cool version of it. Bonus N64 Cruel Angel's Thesis.

I kept thinking about Pathologic a few times during the LP while they still didn't have weapons. From what I've seen, Pathologic is all that, except more open, timed, and doesn't devolve into a full shooter.
Pathologic is a game where there's a chance you'll go "I'll give you all my money, trade you all my bullets and my gun, JUST GIVE ME THAT MOLDY PIECE OF BREAD!"
Man seeing you guys talk about Eva makes me want to get back into the anime racket once again, I think the last good series I watched was Steins;Gate and the only thing I had been keeping up on was JoJo
Really should rewatch Eva, it's been too long, still haven't seen 3.0 either, still patiently waiting for that blu ray release

Monthly Girls' Nozaki-kun. Love Live School Idol Project. Kill la Kill. Samurai Flamenco.
Those are some good shows from this year that are easy to watch if you're interested in watching some animu.

Not gonna lie, that sounds awesome.
I've heard good things about all of those, I did watch the first few KLK episodes but never continued, also did the same with Space Dandy even though I did really want to watch it, really wanna watch the new Gundam series because those MS designs are ace

Maybe you should check your local Anime Store....

I think we're too far down the rabbit
Woolie
Local Anime Store is getting a big push recently. Hell in a Cell is only a few weeks away, must be why.
It's too late now to go back! Never back down! We're too deep in, might as well go for it !
This holydays are killing me, I need normal human interaction >.>
Yeah man it's not out in the UK anywhere, local anime store? Those are a thing?
