+ Show Spoiler [Hayate 349] + pretty boring chapter and focuses too much on what's her name. At least Hina got some nice screen time. and YES putting an egg in after boiling packaged ramen then eating it straight from the pot! More so because I'm lazy and don't want to wash more dishes but at least Hina understands me  | ||

Edit: Horizon's got a similar issue, it's "ending" at ep 13 and we have no idea when the second half (or more) will be. I suppose most people who watch horizon without knowing the source material have problems understanding it anyway. | ||

Yeah, I'm not sure about some of them, but there's plenty of places out there where it's popped up. Robin Williams has gone on record saying his favorite series is NGE, Daniel Radcliffe liking Hajime no Ippo is from an interview, Keanu is a big driving force behind the live action Cowboy Bebop, and Christian Bale voiced Howl in Howl's Moving Castle. I'm sure some quick Google magic can pick up some of the other ones. Edit: It also doesn't surprise me when actors/celebrities are avid gamers or anime/manga/comic fans. When they play roles such as wizards, superheroes, ghosts, angels, and stuff like that, how odd is it to look past the medium and enjoy a story? | ||

When they play roles such as wizards, superheroes, ghosts, angels, and stuff like that, how odd is it to look past the medium and enjoy a story? That's very true and people watching anime isn't really anything special anyway nowadays. If you ask a college student if (s)he has seen any Miyazaki movie (and enjoyed it) the chance is quite big you will get a yes, and from my experience it is not uncommon that they've seen something else as well. So unless you try to defend watching large amounts of the more "geeky" anime you should be safe unless you are around people I prefer to avoid. And I'm not sure that picture helps if you want to defend a more in-depth interest. | ||

I don't really care about having a social stigma, but it occasionally does make things easier if you don't seem too weird | ||

Everytime I play a new ep of Chihayafuru I dont have any expectations. Because of this, I find myself constantly blown away by the sheer amazingness that this anime has to offer. I teared up a little during this episode, it really hit home, it was so well done. The way they touch base with all the characters you cant but help feel sympathetic for all of them. Very few animes Ive watched were able to capitalize on that. I am certainly happy that this anime will have a full season. What I am praying for is that it wont end up like Hanasaku Iroha: start off strong the first half, then have the gap filled with filler/background characters, then finish off a bit lackluster. Heres for hoping... | ||

Maybe I'll write it about how TLADT forms a team and we become a group of inseparable friends and end up winning....some team tournament in BW or something. | ||

However, is it just me, or would other people actually play some of these? Bid poker sounds pretty fun. Odd to not see Akiyama jump at the mock game. I'm sure he already has a plan, though. Negima + Show Spoiler + This really should have ended a long time ago. If it lasts too much longer... I'll probably still be reading, but I'll be mad as hell. Liar Game + Show Spoiler + Well, Liar Game just came back from a hiatus so these chapters aren't all that unusual. MSN! + Show Spoiler + This is probably the last story arc, but it's going to be a long one. | ||
