Shirou never mans up and accepts the truth, or the consequences of his actions. And when shit don't go his way, he cries and whines. Furthermore, he forces his beliefs on others, ala religious zealot. He's worse than Shinji, just most people don't realize it because it's cleverly disguised. | ||

& omg Freezing is bad. Can't think of ever seeing anything worse than that. If the manhwa isn't any better than the anime I think I've lost faith in the whole industry. If only my LoGH was more than 47% done I wouldn't need to plow through all the crap to find something worthwhile.( I assume it's pretty good.) | ||

If only my LoGH was more than 47% done I wouldn't need to plow through all the crap to find something worthwhile.( I assume it's pretty good.) Freezing manga is good so far. The anime turned Freezing into pure fanservice. In the manga you still get the occasional panty-shot but there's actual gore and fighting. The story basically feels like a Sci-Fi version of Claymore (someone made a comparasion a few pages back) but I don't think that that is necessarily bad. Afterall, Claymore is a good popular manga. I personally hate how the anime Pandora mode is just a reskin, and I prefer the "robot" suit that the manga has. The drama behind/with Satellizer is getting a bit stale, but it seems like she's graduating from it bit by it. On the other hand, the boy (whatshisname) is still a complete pussy which is irritating. Gah, lately I've been so pissed off with the male leads everywhere I look. Fucking stereotype. It's even gotten into seinen lately. Pussy + no spine + crybaby + man child + moralfag + completely average/not standing out + friendship = ideal fucking main lead. FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU At times like these it makes me appreciate the oddballs like Lelouch, Yagami Light, Guts etc. even more...

Seems that Tsukihime which many were talking about isn't done yet and will probably be released this summer. Well "must play" is very broad in my opinion. When I first started out on the VN path, people like Southlight and everyone else I'm forgetting because I can't spell your names from memory told me to play: Chaos;Head (psychological/mystery/drama/SF) Saya no Uta (psychological/horror) Clannad (drama/slice of life) Fate/Stay Night (fantasy/action) Yume Miru Kusuri /"A drug that makes you dream" (drama/ecchi/school life) Narcissu (drama) Planetarian (drama/SF) and you might toss in: "My Girlfriend is the President" or knowns as "Osananajimi wa Daitouryou" (ecchi/SF) Also, 3 lists: + Show Spoiler + ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/P9u6N.png) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/By0Cl.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/Ciwuy.jpg) | ||

Clannad Swan Song are all really good and thanks for posting that site with the OreImo summaries was a really good read  + Show Spoiler [OreImo] + but I have to admit that after reading that Kirino basically told him that she likes him, he still starts going out with Ruri that took me by surprise. Though of course they are brother and sister. | ||

I mean I hope that's how things are, because if it is just stupid tsundere getting in the way then I am going to ignore the rest of that series and read only parts that have Ayase. I only retained a general interest in the series because of how Kirino still has potential to not just be another tsundere imouto, if that's what she is then meh. It could just mean that I am expecting too much from this series though, can't keep track of the amount of times that Kuroneko and such make the point that Kirino loves Kyosuke in a romantic way. They can't have been that right that whole time and this series can't be as shallow as that. I hope. | ||

and I gave up on S&W pretty fast Southlight 2:23 pm lol Ecael 2:24 pm whereas OreImo has kind of held my interest to this point I refuse to believe that the awesome character of Ayase is completely accidental Southlight 2:24 pm lol you know what they say about starcraft: brood wars... Ecael 2:25 pm the balance thereof shhhhhh Ecael 2:25 pm well part of it is that in other things they use external circumstances to stop any confessions in OreImo, far as I can remember, every time it has been Kirino mucking up Southlight 2:26 pm lol Ecael 2:26 pm I hope that really isn't just coincidental and that the author just blows lol Southlight 2:27 pm 告白が しっぱいすることに 深い意味があるのやら？ (Can deep meaning be found in confessions that fail?) Ecael 2:28 pm imo an indication that Kirino is still struggling with her own feelings and completely unsure of what she wants, basically the only thing keeping her from being just another tsundere atm Southlight 2:29 pm (゜-゜; )ウーン (Umm) my friend came up with something she calls the 6 volume rule for any romance Ecael 2:29 pm ? Southlight 2:29 pm which actually works surprisingly well i don't remember if twas 6 specifically actually but somewhere in the vicinity in which any shoujo manga that goes past that point tends to suck, cuz of the overextended romance Ecael 2:30 pm ya Southlight 2:30 pm meanwhile shorter shoujo are often surprisingly good because they cut to the point i haven't read past like vol 1.5 of oreimo but i have trouble figuring out how a hinted@ kiri/kyou over like 8+ vols can be intriguing Southlight 2:30 pm it feels like something that's stepped past the 6 vol rule, so to speak Ecael 2:31 pm but that be romance a conflicting middle ground between romance and familial love has some potential Southlight 2:32 pm そうかなーっ 特にVNでよくある話だと思うべな。。。 (I dunno~ I think that happens a lot, especially in VNs...) Ecael 2:32 pm at the very least more room for character development =/ yeah~ Southlight 2:32 pm hah my problem with uhhh oreimo is that Southlight 2:33 pm i feel like it's locked into incest i mean i ahve nothing against the relationship in general as i tend to be pretty liberal about these things but it's like 先が見える (I can see the end coming) Ecael 2:33 pm ya Southlight 2:33 pm so it's kind of like hayate no gotoku in which you know he's locked onto one girl no matter what but she's really not that cool Ecael 2:34 pm goddamn Nagi there is hope Southlight 2:34 pm lol but i mean you get my point Ecael 2:34 pm Southlight 2:34 pm like oreimo is kinda like that, to me anyways Ecael 2:34 pm that's another QQ point too sir~ Southlight 2:34 pm and then it doesn't help that only ayase is any interesting but she's also the least likely to actually hook up with him IMO Ecael 2:34 pm yeah Southlight 2:34 pm in fact Ecael 2:34 pm she is interesting because of that Southlight 2:34 pm before i stopped watching/reading i was hoping for kiri x aya Ecael 2:35 pm that'd be hilarious but nah Ecael 2:35 pm well Southlight 2:35 pm イエス。百合重症です。 (Yes. I'm a heavily-diseased yuri maniac.) Ecael 2:35 pm Aya x Kiri =p Southlight 2:35 pm yea でも重症でも自重はしない！誤らない！ (But even if I'm heavily-afflicted I won't change! I won't mess up!*) Ecael 2:35 pm I think it is a problem that some of the most interesting things about OreImo to me Southlight 2:35 pm 謝らない＊ (*apologize <-- wrong kanji) Ecael 2:36 pm hinges on them being unable to resolve anything Southlight 2:36 pm lol Ecael 2:36 pm honestly both Kuroneko and Kirino end would just be... meh see it from a mile away Toradora kinda was good in keeping everything in question for quite a while Southlight 2:37 pm i dunno, the other problem i have with oreimo is that Southlight 2:37 pm i would categorize it, from a board perspective in the genre of "series that touch on the interaction between otaku and mainstream subcultures" which i felt it did a nice job of early on but kyousuke is just... he naturally slides into being an otaku Ecael 2:38 pm yeah Southlight 2:38 pm and it is awkward like wat i can totally understand adaptability Ecael 2:38 pm I think that interaction was never really focused upon Southlight 2:38 pm but he has no personality so it ends up being like a funky mash of a bunch ofs uper hardcore otaku and a bunch of "meh" except for ayase but she gets 丸める (mellowed) extremely early Ecael 2:39 pm in the game she is a better example than Kyosuke Southlight 2:39 pm she'd better be 汚い！気持ち悪い！ (Dirty! Disgusting!) Ecael 2:39 pm w Ecael 2:39 pm actually I find it a shame that Southlight 2:39 pm :-P her reaction at the start Ecael 2:39 pm the game and novels didn't use Ayase and Saori interacting more Saori is by far a better ambassdor than Kyosuke Southlight 2:40 pm lol Ecael 2:41 pm when Saori and Ayase draw more of my attention than everyone else (oh yeah and Kuroneko's sisters because they are hilarious) eep Ecael 2:41 pm when Kuroneko's sisters meet Kyosuke, the older one was like oh wow you really exist, thought you be either 2d or a figment of her imagination Southlight 2:42 pm lol 良い反応(￣▽￣)b グッ! (Good reaction!) | ||
