Yeah, I'll check if I can get it. A few websites are off limits for me too though, but I've bought from Mnet before without a problem Edit: I checked and I can get it through Mnet. I'll do it one of these days if that's ok with you?

I'm in Korea right now, so I might be able to help. What is it that you're looking for?

I guess they're both great in their own right? But yeah, they have a 6-7 year difference in experience. Then again, Hiro's had a headstart because he's had his brother to look up to (and most likely professional links/relationships/advantages, which if I were him I'd use too). Comparing 20 year old Taka (Kanjou Effect) with 20 year old Hiro (right now) shows Taka had a better skill at that age, but at the same time I think Hiro's doing really great as well. He's improved loads in the past two years and I can only imagine what he's going to grow up being. In terms of music, I think I prefer MFS, despite having been an OOR fan for so long. OOR is absolutely great live, but I think I prefer the liveliness of MFS' music over the mainstream side of OOR? Both are great though. Also don't forget OOR's pretty much always been backed by A-sketch/Amuse. MFS is just on a small indie label. Both brothers combine English and Japanese and I think Hiro's the one who even uses more in English than Taka does. Also, are you sure you mean Hiro's voice isn't as annoying? They sound very similar to me, but even then Taka's voice is a lot more controlled than Hiro's is.

To me it goes along their Final Fantasy fanboy-ness because all I see is a FFXIII's Pulse knock-off

There's lots of great ones but I guess some of my faves should be Death Note I'll Nabari no Ou Spiral: Suiri no Kizuna Dogs Bullets Carnage Considering this one is still ongoing, I'll keep it away from my main list but I've come to really love Tokyo Ghoul. Started Deadman Wonderland and Ajin recently and they seem really promising too.

I'm not here to delve into my own private life but yeah, I've had enough situations in which I'm the levelheaded one. Why can't you just get it some people are just like that? Well, guess I'm just unnatural then too? As Saku already mentioned, his friend died near the end. There's still time for him to mourn over that loss. But would you rather have had him screaming it out and breaking down in the middle of the place? No, then you'd say the main character is weak, and you wouldn't understand why he's the main either. He is obviously just levelheaded (or in a state of shock), knowing that freaking out won't change the outcome of what has already happened (I might not have had a friend killed in front of my eyes, but I've been through the whole thing of seeing someone almost die, and freaking out on such moments is a big no-no. Everyone freaking out isn't going to help the person in trouble). Rather put that energy and sense of seeing his friend die into a way to save all those others than give up on the spot. You also mentioned that a traumatic past should have been revealed in the first episode? Whatfor? If you get to know a person in real life, do you know all of their secrets right away? No, you grow along with them. You get to know them. And you learn. The reason why Inaho is how he is will surely show up sooner or later. Why rush that? Ah, we all have opinions, and I understand that you wouldn't like him. Your reasons are just a little superficial and maybe even ridiculous to me. From a "robot" to "retarded" just because he's not a crybaby or isn't showing any emotions? Come on... "Sure some people like that exist in the real world but, real world =/= fictional storytelling" As far as I know fictional storytelling is still writing characters in whatever way the people writing want them to be. If they want an apathetic kid with a lack of emotional reactions (as there are people in the world) then that's their choice. Or do we all need to be the same?

The manga is pretty great. Glad to see you like it as much as I do I'll continue the anime most likely. If only to see the awesome scenes with Shuu, Ayato, Suzuya, and Nishiki.

Just to tell you, that kid wasn't telling the audience that "missiles are coming" he was informing his friends who were busy talking. He's usually seen to be looking around, taking in his surroundings, rather than partaking in the conversations of the people around him. So obviously he'd notice things faster than others. There's people like him in real life. Kids who don't act emotionally to stuff. Kids who just look around and "people watch." I'd even daresay I'm one of those. Cars might crash only a short distance away from me but I would remain totally calm. I've been in stuff where everyone's freaking out, and I'm the only one with a clear mind. It's actually interesting to me. I'd like to know why he's like that and how him growing up got him to become like that. Don't immediately write it off as a bad character. Unless they don't work it out (which I doubt will happen this time around) there's no reason why an apathetic kid like him couldn't make an interesting lead. (Being as "unnaturally emotional" as you say he is, makes for no "OMFG JUST GO ALREADY AND DO IT" moments because he has no reason no to. He'd just do the things regular mecha are usually full of.) Either way, this is also just my point of view on it. And we can't say for sure what direction they'll both go in anyway. If there's no character development for either at all, I'll be sure to admit my wrong, but for now both Inaho and Slain have my attention. Started Akame ga Kill for no good reason but I was amused by the first episode. Was kind of underwhelmed by Re:Hamatora. Hope they change it around a bit and it'll be better for the next episodes.

Hotarobi and Kenshin I've already watched. I started Ergo Proxy and Texhnolyze years ago. Totally forgot about those. I should finish them. Thanks! I have yet to finish Phantom, and strangely enough I've only watched NGE from this line-up. Started watching the Kara no Kyoukai movies a while back so I have yet to finish all of them. I watch pretty much any genre, as long as it can drag me in I'm good. I have a weakness for mecha though for some reason. Anyway, thanks! I know what to do during the moments I'm not watching new season stuff

Any "moody" stuff to recommend? I'm all up for that tbh.

I'm going to need that Aldnoah OST. Wow.

Yeah, I heard about that as well, and I have a bit of a background of Persona. But for people who know nothing about Persona at all, this pace his totally confusing and too quick. I don't get how this will be only half as long as the other P4 series though.

Sebastian is back! Zankyou was pretty nice for a first episode. Can't wait for the next weeks. Persona is already a mess. Why did it even need a remake in the first place?

So far I'm still okay with the anime, but the manga is way superior.

Free continues to be Free. Bakumatsu Rock is still ridiculous. Waiting for the next Tokyo Ghoul and the first Zankyou no Terror episode to be honest.

Oh... my bad... Must have seen some wrong info somewhere then because I initially thought it was Sawano too. Went to check after the first episode and I saw Kajiura everywhere. (Or maybe I was just tired) Either way, OST is pretty awesome so far!

Kajiura Yuki does the OST. She's incredible. She's done Pandora Hearts and such too.

There should be Zankyou no Terror this Friday. Looking forward to that one. Ping Pong was pretty "arthouse" but you need to care at least a bit for the sport I guess. I found in strangely good.

He's not really like that though. Kid's pretty useless for a good load of the manga chapters. I don't really think he uses his "new power" go protect humanity either. Well, not as far as the manga's translated. Love it though. Hope they won't mess up the anime.

I have yet to watch the last episode but I'm sure a possible second season and the fact it's adapted from still ongoing novels has something to do with that. Also... plotholes... This season was going too well and most series ruined themselves with their last few episodes. Sad. Edit: So I did finish Black Bullet now and I must say that if they'd taken that second half of the episode as an after credits, and had said it was months later, I would have believed it. Now it was just ridiculous. Way to end an otherwise pretty good anime. Also watched Tokyo Ghoul and loved it. Hope they continue like this and don't mess up any of the characters. Bakumatsu Rock was a ridiculous mess and that's about all I have to say about it. Randomly started Glasslip too and I wasn't disappointed. Kind of want to know what's up with the kid so I'll be watching that one next week too. Free is just as ridiculous as always, but somehow I'm up for another season of Haru being Haru.

I looooove God's Quiz. Main guy is my favorite Korean actor. I'm really sad he doesn't really get any big roles though. He's so good.

True at the animation and the death flags. I think I can understand that AOT feel, even though I don't agree (and I didn't enjoy AOT myself). Either way, the whole thing was really great in the end and put together wonderfully in my opinion. Can't wait for the next season, even though it won't be out till 2015. (Also using AOT here because SNK might be confusing considering Sidonia No Kishi has the same abbreviation.)

Too many series... But I guess I'm mainly here for Tokyo Ghoul, Zankyou no Terror, and the new Hamatora season. Glad you liked it. I hardly know anyone who's watched it... Most people are taken aback by the 3D animation :/

Finished both Break Blade and Sidonia no Kishi today. Break Blade was a very entertaining series and I really liked quite a few of its characters. Sidonia, on the other hand, is easily the best series I've watched this season. I was surprised with the announcement of a second season, but I'm sure happy about it. Hope it's at least as great as this one was.

Gokukoku no Brynhildr just ruined itself, and the ending of Hitsugi no Chaika was the opposite. The latter was a really amusing watch and I loved how the characters were somewhat "human". They got frustrated, annoyed, pissed off... kicked things because of it, and never went on long monologues while fighting, they just fought. It was somehow refreshing? I don't know, I really enjoyed it. Can't wait for the new season. Still not sure what M3 is trying to be or going to end up being, but they're doing the dark/emotions type of mecha decently enough.
