It does get much better later on! + Show Spoiler + That scene where he comes home and Kaede is stirring the pot that is completely empty. Sends chills down my spine every time I think about it. I think him leaving Kaede's house was one of the more depressing moments in Anime for me. I was rooting for her from the very start. Overall, I would say watch the whole Anime and do not just base it on the first few episodes! | ||

Also, the show had the unfortunate property of being slow without drawing me in. Some shows can be slow but suspenseful, which works, but in Texhnolyze the show is so overwhelmingly gloomy that I had no hope for a happy ending. I guess it just wasn't my type of show. That said, there are lots of people who love it, and I think it's Shauni's favorite show. Also, more people watching ABe stuff is always good. You don't like a show just cause it's depressing? That's like the only kinds of shows I watch lol >> But yes, I agree with it being agonizingly slow. That is a huge drawback. But to anyone who wants to start it, tough through it, it's definitely worth it. Happy endings are boring anyways. | ||

What I do mind is + Show Spoiler + when she's being an emo bitch. Such as when started growing more distant from Nitori after she found out about him and Anna. And then she decides to tell Chiba about them out of pure spite resulting in Chiba skipping school for a long time. That is just not cool.

I am still of the opinion that of the 24 episodes that comprise Shuffle, there are only 2-3 episodes worth watching near the end, and although they're awesome, they don't make up for the travesty that is the rest of the series. | ||

It was like "trafficking illicit material en mass over forign borders" or some BS along those lines. I don't think is was purely the loli he had? Don't take that as fact...just what I remember from the whole story. | ||

Don't take that as fact...just what I remember from the whole story. iirc it was the use of USPS in trafficking 'child pornography' over state border, think the key there was using USPS for it or something. Was really bizarre tbh. On March 25 2011 11:45 Ferrose wrote: I've been trying to use rikaichan to read the Japanese shit that Ecael and Southlight post.

I'm starting to get better with it. It's still a lot of work though to piece all the words together. But now I actually have a use for Twitter, so I'm committed. | ||

So what if Anime is a large portion of it? It is still your life. Code Geass was very good. Glad another person was able to enjoy it ^^ | ||
