    Dated article and I've seen plenty just like it years back. All talk, no action. Even if they managed to shut down most of those listed sites, another will pop up. Can't stop the internet.

    Shigatsu (Your April is a Lie) ended up pretty much in the way I predicted. Visually, it was beautiful to watch however it didn't redeem the flaws over the course of the show. So glad it's over... *deletes* 5/10

    The only show I've been watching these days was Agent Carter. I was actually amazed how good it was. It started off much better than Agents of Shield. Considering how much of a slow burn Agents of Shield was, Carter gets right into the meat of the show with almost no filler. All the 1940s aesthetics is done well where you're actually watching a tv show that takes place during that time. One thing I loved about the show is how well written Carter is herself. In the Captain America movie, you see what she's capable of, and thankfully the writers fully utilizes her character in this show - keeping her strong. First season lasted 8 episodes and it'd be cruel not to have a 2nd season since there's still a few lingering plot unresolved.

    Even Lelouch himself was completely dumbstruck by that twist. XD

    Homeworld Remastered Collection It's hard as fuck but damn it's beautiful. This is remastered done right. Props to Gearbox for putting their heart & soul into this.

    I liked Code Geass tv series for what it was despite of having some glaring flaws, mainly because the main character Lelouch was charismatic, took unconventional roles like leading the followers instead of being a pilot, and caused the story's events rather than the character's actions being resulted by the events themselves. At the time, it was something that hasn't been done before in a mecha series, at least from what I remember. But the one thing from the franchise that I have to shit on is the OVA, Akito the Exiled. The continuity this takes place in makes no gah damn sense with the aesthetics presented here and most of the character are unlikeable. If the writers are supposed to make me root for Akito for the sociopath that he is, then the show has completely failed to do so.
  10. Homeworld Remastered is now pre-loading. :o

    Oh boy.... where do I begin? Shigatsu had a great start in the first 3 eps. I love the music placements and the overall visuals. It seemed like a promising show with a generic cast of characters if executed well. Unfortunately, it doesn't bring anything new to the table. It's another case of style over substance. The show took a nosedive for me when those bitches (Kaori & Tsubaki) forced Kousei to publicly humiliate himself. It doesn't matter if he's a piano genius, a musician needs to practice the score before performing. It's obvious Kousei isn't motivated to go back playing piano and yet these so called "friends" of his keep forcing him. That is like the worst way to develop your main protagonist. Putting music sheets literally everywhere he goes is downright borderline bullying and the show passes it off as something comedic which is completely unfunny. Speaking of that, the show is so consistent with its inconsistency of its tone. All these gags that comes outta nowhere really kills the serious moments. Kousei getting hit by something and bleeds as a result is NOT funny at all. And to add more WTF-ness to this problem, he accepts it as if it was no big deal to him. That's another problem with this show, Kousei as the main character is like a battered wife just accepting these things with no objections. The writing boggles my mind going from ass backwards scenarios to just downright emotionally manipulative. When the story pulled the slow death card on Kaori, I was facepalmed that they were pulling this cliche that's been used in so many asian dramas as a plot device to motivate the characters. I could on and on with the problems of this show but this is a brief overall thoughts so far. Reading this guy's blog helped me realize most of it. http://www.lostinanime.com/search/label/Shigatsu%20wa%20Kimi%20no%20Uso If I were to describe Shigatsu to someone, I would say it's like Beats headphones - A mediocre product wrapped around with beautiful packaging. I understand why people love this show, but it's not working for me. It's trying really hard to get back up on its feet with the current episodes. The struggle is real in this one.

    The past few episodes of Fafner Exodus has been absolutely incredible in the action department.

    I strongly disagree with Shigatsu but to each their own.

    I think he's talking more about the art style than the animation.

    I think LUNA SEA's KISS song fits the bill well. http://youtu.be/GTXqCWRXjlI
  18. That's not proof, that's fan speculation. Although it wouldn't be a least bit surprising if that really was the case.

    I've been replaying Hard Reset & Bastion for some achievement purposes. Typical "go to" games I play as usual are Titanfall and Black Ops 2. I do stream several times a week so if you're interested in watching (or joining me playing) feel free to visit. http://www.twitch.tv/cyberxspeed I've ordered my headset so therefor I'll be a little bit more social this time lol.
