Why do you post such painful statements. s-CRY-ed was awesome. The character designs were so good.
Did they have the same writers? That would probably explain why I disliked both so much.
weekday toonamigaf is a bit insane tbh

Rewatched s-cry-ed recently and it was duller than I remembered, especially during the entire amnesia arc.

S-cry-Ed was just a thoroughly mediocre show about dudes punching other dudes for little to no reason and also the receipent of the hotly competitive "Most Early 2000's Sunrise Show". I watchbetted a friend who I know has good taste and he made me watch this when I could have watched ANYTHING.
There was a dude called STRAIGHT COUGAR which is the best Tomino name from a show not by Tomino.
Calling it a trainwreck is confusing though since not much happens at all (besides punching) and there's no elaborate or crazy twists.
The name is also fucking terrible, how do you even say that?

I s-CRY-ed evry tiem we have holiday marathons.
Ya know, I think this is the best way to describe it. I guess I wouldn't mind a rewatch if it's with you guys, but I also really have no desire to revisit it because I feel like I wouldn't have much to say, similar to rewatching AoT.
Hate to say it, but at least rewatching something like SAO would trigger a reaction aside from "mmmeeehhh".
Scryed is another show that isn't "good" but I enjoyed. GREAT Opening & Closing themes and great OST too. It was basically "Dudes punching Dudes: The Anime" but at least it never pretended to be anything else. Also Straight Cougar was like the best character in the show, nobody should be hating on him. It also had that early 2000s "we just started using digital animation techniques and we have no idea what we are doing" look to it.
Not sure I get the Code Geass comparison. CG was filled with fuckery but also had legit good elements to it too. Scryed was basically fuckery free and didn't have much ambition.
I just read the latest MHA chapter. It was really good and redeemed a lot of the gripes I had about the last chapter.
Is that a topic of conversation more to your liking?

There's a real word called scrying, so I guess you say it as one word, Scryed. Even the eye-catch says it as "SCRAIDO"
The show was pretty fun just punching harder and mustering more strength to PUNCH HARDER!
We'll be watching it on Toonami one day. Hopefully a good adaptation.I just read the latest MHA chapter. It was really good and redeemed a lot of the gripes I had about the last chapter.

if people complained about Jotaro winning by punching harder in Stardust Crusaders then whats his face in S-Cry-Ed is like that x100
Although Hibiki from Symphogear probably beats them both

...I actually really like Cherami Leigh as a voice actor...
...and not just cause she was really cute when I met her in person.
...and not just cause she was really cute when I met her in person.
...is like a PTSD of sorts because it reminds you of SAO 1's second half?
Oh yeah, nothing against her (same with Papenbrook, I've said before his performance in DR2 is easily his best & amazing), but it's just weird how SAO VAs keep appearing in Danganronpa, especially as the leads/major characters.
Leigh also voiced Lucy in Fairy Tail, Kneesocks in Panty & Stocking, and Patty from Soul Eater.
Aniplex hires good VAs. So does NISA. I don't like a lot of their games but have never had a problem with their dubs.

Wait is that actually Bryce in that gif?
No, but there is a video of a panel he did about MMA. At least it wasn't a run of the mill anime con panel.
I'm really close to getting 120 stars in SMG 1. I put in SMG 2 because I was at 119 stars in it, but I could never beat the Boss Throwback Speedrun star. Now I remember why. FUCK BOULDERGEIST. He always sucks up a minute and a half of your time, and even if you get past him you usually die to Fiery Dino Piranha anyway.
I know this, but god damn fuck Bouldergeist. Almost entirely luck based for how fast you can beat him.

Remember that time a bunch of unique animators re-animated an episode from Sailor Moon?
Now it's happening to Dragon Ball.

I started reading Tokyo Ghoul, so that's a thing. I'm really disappointed that the main character's change was jumpsarted by a single event rather than a gradual transformation occurring across multiple ordeals.
Interesting that they're doing original Dragon Ball and not Z.

Git gud
You can shoot the non ghost rocks with star bits to get rid of them, then just make sure you grab the ghost when the hands are up. Enjoy your win
That's why the two compilation movies exist as a superior alternative. It all gets right to the point of Scryed. Which is angry dudes screaming and punching with random crazy powers.
It's nothing smart, to be honest, but I think the series was good at exactly what it wanted to be: hot-blooded shounen fighting with all the over-the-top manliness and stubbornness that usually implies when taken to the extreme. Nothing more, nothing less. Things worked out about as well as you could reasonably expect. The last fight was rather badass too. That said, I would say both GunXSword and Code Geass are better though, in terms of sheer entertainment value as well as overall quality.
No, Scryed was actually written by the same person who had scripted Infinite Ryvius and later wrote Gundam 00 as well as Gundam Build Fighters. Bet you weren't expecting that.
