Flame-X

Stuff I'm watching season.... Akame ga Kill! It's been very faithful to its source. The violence was slightly toned down a bit but not to an irritating degree. Can't wait to see more. Aldnoah.Zero Pretty good start so far. I do have one major problem though, the main character. He's stoic like a robot, reacts completely unnatural to situations that requires emotions, and takes on this expositional stance where he tells the audience what's happening. "Missiles are coming", no shit son, we were shown that 10 seconds ago. Here's how to do a story, you SHOW us, NOT tell us. Don't insult the viewer's intelligence. If the plot twist of the main guy happens to be a robot, that would make sense. In all honesty though, I find Slaine to be the most interesting out of everyone introduced by far. His struggles are real and I would've preferred him as the main protagonist instead. He's like a better execuation of Kira Yamato from Gundam SEED. I swear if they ship that princess girl and the stoic guy, I'm gonna flip the table. Seeing this is only 12 eps, I am worried about it being rushed near the end. Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun Biggest surprise and best show I've seen of the season. I've skimmed through the manga a year back but was never committed. Watching this now has me hooked. It's a nice mix of shojo art style in shonen-like show. If you like Bakumen, give this a chance. Also, Chiyo is sooooo fucking adorable. *_* Argevollen Eh, typical mecha formula. The 2nd ep's pacing was so awful that I couldn't keep my eyes open. I'll still be watching this though. Tokyo ESP Interesting first ep. I know the manga begins as an origin story, so I'm guess the 2nd ep will take us back to the past Gungrave style? I hope I'm not the only guy who thinks this is Japan's take on Xmen. Persona 4G New Anime+ anyone?

The word "blue" has been abused a lot in Japanese entertainment in general.

Lynch without a doubt. They're more streamlined and catchier overall. I can't tolerate deathgaze's vocals, too nasal-y.

First Iron Man movie was awful? What kind of standards do you have for an origin superhero movie? o_O;

I need to get another shelf.

Transformers Age of Extinction My gosh, the pacing was awful and tedious. A movie that forces me to look at the clock more than 3 times is a sign that these scenes need to get a move on. Way too much time was spent on the intro with the human protagonists which I care sooooo less for. Pacing issues aside, I thought the movie would be much better than Goof Labeouf ones by having a mature adult character who's actually useful. While Marky Mark certainly plays a more useful role, the stereotypes of an overprotective father is unavoidable as well as other annoying stereotypical side characters. The daughter was useless most of the time even though she's pretty damn hot. Her boyfriend didn't act like a boyfriend half the times, so something tells me it was either bad acting or just lusted for her. Some action scenes were nice, others were hilarious and nonsensical as it rehashes the same sequences from the previous films but ultimately, too long near the end. The random explosions happening one after another made me burst out on laughter. How does a transformer crashing into a truck cargo full of wooden blocks explode or when Optimus Prime breaks out of the barn exploding his way out when there's nothing explodable? Oh Michael Bay... Another amusing moment was when Chicago gets attacked AGAIN. The attack in Chicago from the previous movie was like a 9/11 remembrance in this one. Getting into the plot, it was understandable why the government dislikes having transformers on earth but when CIA agents are trying to kill off other humans who's assisting autobots in order to "protect humanity", it became such an illogical mess that I stopped caring. So much time was focused on the humans that I wondered if I was really watching a Transformers movie or some generic action movie. After all this time, why did they make Bumblebee unable to talk again? The ending of the movie is a rinse and repeat of ALL the previous ones with its narrative, "My name is Optimus Prime, and we autobots blah blah blah." Overall, it's below average. Better than Transformers 2, slightly less enjoyable than 3.

It would help if you put the names/titles in english rather than kanji so I can actually read or know what it is.

One of my personal friends does one. Check out his channel if you can. He's been doing this for less than a year but the presentation is actually good, and that's coming from a cynical critic like me. XD https://www.youtube.com/user/HantokiGaming I'm not into Pewdiepie as well, and just as OriginalSaku said, I can't deal with his whiny commentaries but kudos to his achievements.

Anything from Kisaski's company or single/album CD types A, B, C, D, E, F, G or whatever alphabet version number decimal to the square root power with 1 different song on each.

I can never get enough of this.

For my summer season watches... http://erosgrante.wordpress.com/2014/06/23/summer-anime-season-2014/

Playing Payday 2, Borderlands 2 DLCs, and soon Bioshock Infinite DLCs. Ah.... so much to play, damn you steam for robbing my wallet.

A bunch of steam games.

Oh my... lol. Hmm, try these? Renketsu Houshiki Mezzo Forte Stringendo+Accelerando Ultimatum Sera Love Selection: The Animation Fella Pure: Mitarashi-san Chi no Jijou - The Animation Koikishi Purely☆Kiss: The Animation Aneki... My Sweet Elder Sister: The Animation I haven't seen a couple of these but based on the descriptions and recommendations, it fits your hardcore needs.

^ Any specifics you're into? I only watch romance/vanilla types. @OriginalSaku Not really a fan, I mostly just get the raws cuz it's fairly easy for me to understand what's going on.

All I've been watching the past week was hentai. Love the vanilla stuff. Eroge! H mo Game mo Kaihatsu Zanmai Tennen Koi-iro Alcohol Chichiiro Toiki Furueru Kuchibiru Oshaburi Announcer Nee Summer! Maki-chan to Nau Tropical Kiss

I guess this thread isn't limited to Japanese music? Anyways, the above song isn't something I'm into but the riffs well played.
