So last week's session was simply lovely. You guys free and pumped for another Sunday session? What would you like? Themed or free-for-all again?

Recently tried the first episode of both Tales of Zestiria The X and Log Horizon since I thought they were complimentary. Too bad the RPG genre of anime just... fail. The world building is nonexistent, the progression is appalling, especially in the Tales one but I can't say I was expecting much since it's a game adaption and one of which I'm not too enamored with anyway. Kiznaiver was another recent one we've tried (me and @CAT5). I ADORE the designer. Shirow Miwa has her own manga I love, and has done other art involving Fire Emblem and supercell. She's one of my favourites, so of course the whole look of Kiznaiver caught my attention instantly even if I didn't realize straight away. Too bad the show itself is, yet again.. not too interesting. Only in the last minutes of the first episode did it get rather gripping, and then the ending came up. I doubt we'll continue it due to hearing it doesn't go anywhere, and the worst part: character development makes no sense. .-. I just can't with Shokugeki any more though. This one food battle/contest moment has been going on for far too long. I miss when the characters would interact with one another and not a constant making a meal segment with similar judges making the same reactions. Sure, it's funny, but none of the winners/losers have been unexpected, and I'm just no longer enjoying it with its pace now. Dropped all this lot. In more positive news, I'm really enjoying the 2016's Berserk. Sure the CGI isn't what Berserk deserves (can't believe Tales of got THAT animation and poor Berserk... ;-;), but I'm glad it's gotten a second chance of an adaption at least! This is really making me impatient in getting to reading the manga. It's so exciting to see at least the most important parts of the manga animated. I can forgive them skipping some parts, and the CGI, for those reasons. It's Berserk, how could you not love!? There's also ReLIFE we're enjoying, and my personal, greatly anticipated Orange adaption. I found this manga out when it first came about, and fell in love with the mangaka. Due to serialization problems because of the mangaka, I fell out of keeping up with it because it was either always late, or always changing its publishing. I now see that it had indeed concluded last year, so I'm ever so thrilled to have rediscovered and gotten back into it now of all times with its adaption. While I'm not too taken with the music choices, and the animation can look way TOO perfect with awkward movement, I'm just so thrilled it's an anime. I always thought it deserved it even when I didn't know what the conclusion was. It's so bittersweet and beautiful. One of my top Shojo pieces, COME AT ME.

I've heard and read news it's now been released in the UK! I'll have another go at it at some point. Every time I've been trying it, I have connection issues. I doubt I'll be into it much, but who knows? I'd like for it to work though, even if I can only get a starter. AT LEAST LET ME GET MY BULBA-CHAN!

omg, ANOTHER Ichigo form? X'D Did we even see the one he was when he got down Aizen again? And he brings out a "new" one? Bah. I like how we started this discussion and just recently it was announced Bleach is ending. XDD I've heard it's obvious how rushed it is in its pacing now? With how it sure has been taking its sweet sweet time, I bet it's a sudden jump.

I don't usually like Western RPGs, especially those such as Skyrim, the open world ones. However, I've been really addicted to Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning. I've always been interested in similar games like Fable, so I was happy to have got this for a really good price with how much you can do with it. Honestly, it's overwhelming, but still so worth all your time! Gotta love being a female carrying around a huge ass Greatsword/Claymore. /O/ So many choices and customization, yet the story and battle system is still so complimentary! I pretty much only got a load of RPGs for my birthday in which I've played bits here and there of them all. Reckoning got most of my attention, almost all of it really, aha. Most of my loving has gone towards Natural Doctirine (in which surprised me because I hated how the whole tactics look appeared on the PS3. It's my one dislike in which I can only ignore with Disgaea, but I'm getting used to it having played it three times now) and Tactics Ogre: Let Us Cling Together. I loved how both looked, but ND wasn't what I was expecting and I can't explain why, and Tactics Ogre looks, sounds and feels gorgeous in its aesthetics, but having played it a good few hours too, I need a break. Mana Khemia: Student Alliance looks so promising (instant new fav character: Flay. Mah man), while Lord of Arcana was so much fun for the first playthrough, until I realized how similar it is to the Monster Hunter mechanics, which I never even liked, and I have three games of it. >.> I still love your character customization. And while your weapon handling is a lot more of a chore, and repetitive even, I can still play this in short bursts. I'm now excited in getting in more time in Breath of Fire III and Blazing Souls Accelerate (that main guy, Zelos, man. Fact that Troy Baker voices him too. *fans self*).

Came here just to post about this. x'D I've got 4 out of 6 of the endings. I decided to skip on the Axe ending since I thought it'd be too similar to the Knife ending I already got. I rushed through to get to the Safe Ending so I could unlock the True Ending, in which I'm in the middle of now. I'd say it can be called a Visual Novel/puzzle game, and I'm pretty sure it's mostly categorized as such. I can't believe it's taken me this long to get to now. Now I want to get the sequels, even though the latest, Zero Time Dilemma, looks EXTREMELY stiff and not as interesting as 999, or Virtue's Last Reward. I even spoiled quite a bit for myself on the later because of my excitement (also can we just take a moment to appreciate Sigma's everything. Wow. And I don't know whether that's weird or not depending on the big spoiler of the game... x'D). Another on the DS I recently got into was Ace Attorney. Yes, late again. I am really enjoying the interaction aspect of it just like the puzzle solving of 999. I took a pause on it because I was getting through it way too quick though. May need to get more games of it, but I'm definitely leaning more towards getting VLR first. I've just realized I really need to somehow play Dangarapan now, but it just has to be everything and on every console I don't have. x'D Also~ REGRET? HOW COULD YOU REGRET?!?!?!? X'D Still on topic, but I don't think you're interested if you regret, lol. But honestly, I don't get how it's so popular.. I enjoyed it though, but I refrain from ever touching it again. Not as amazing as so many people warrant it. I MUCH prefer the other BL games under the Nitro name. Sweet Pool and Lamento are the highest tier, like holy damn. Everything about those two VNs, from the music to the characters and story-line (progression), is breathtaking. Even Togainu no Chi was disappointing as I got to it just after playing both Dramatical Murder and its sequel. TnC is also pretty up there in BL VN regards. Maybe I had to high of expectations.

I'm jking ofc. We need to watch this for obvious reasons (and hopefully there's even more precious shipping moments to keep my appetite appeased). Dat theme song too. /o/

These guys have a damn good sound. Checked them out a bit recently due to their name. X'D

^ Count me in too!

Hey there, welcome back!! Good to have you again. Neat taste too! Instantly spotted Cocco and Aco on your new Last.fm, and even more on your first account (Even got Very High on it!) Now following you as well. Hope to keep seeing you around, enjoy!

Brilliant. Hopefully it'll be worthwhile. Will have to check it out!

I would say that Naruto is finished, the main series in which it was referring to. It's a spin off, the Boruto manga, and everything after it. That's just how I see it. It's still Naruto obviously... I'm in denial lol. Guess it will be out of date for sure what with the Bleach news though. But anyway, the pic is still hilarious, since that HiatusxHiatus has become such an unfortunate meme. I read just a few days ago that HxH is on hiatus yet again though. I've also seen a lot of varied reports on Bleach with its end finally coming. I no longer read the manga, but was this intended to be wrapped up at this time, or was Kubo pushed for it?

I adore Claymore. It's one of my favorites. I would always suggest starting from the end of where the anime left off (apart from the Clare vs Priscilla fight which isn't cannon). The manga is already wrapped up, and there's even a timeskip that occurs after the Battle of the North. I wish it was adapted fully, but reading the manga is still more than worth it instead. Also, there's so many more awesome Awakened Beings and the like to be seen in it. And I'll refrain from any spoilers.. but the ending of the manga is extremely satisfying.

How do you organize your music files? Poll suggested by @hiroki! To submit a poll for the MH POLL OF THE WEEK, P.M. @beniwith your poll question, choices, and state whether it's multiple choice or not.

The idol (don't be scared, they're not exactly high pitched or look like it lol) group 風男塾 (Fudanjuku) has a surprisingly neat sounding album out. Might be a grower.

Fangirling hard with GOMESS all of a sudden with "情景 -前篇-". Haven't been staying up to date with new music recently, but this is standing out as one of my favourites already.

When the little sister photobombs:
