I didn't know about the latter and had to go through pages of stuff, and sometimes could still not find it. EDIT: I started Chaos;Head and the music is super-ominous (the title screen too, the mood is like half-life). How scary is this game? And what does Lingerie Conversion System do? | ||

because of how fucking bad it was. I skipped through the majority of the episode and only stopped to watch Dai-sensei because she's awesome. All the hype, and Yuu's voice is not even that good. =/ Anyway, on the plus side, this means the next episode will be mostly gags. ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/67JP2.jpg) WTF is this shit? ![[image loading]](http://imgur.com/kY8oZ.jpg) This face looks pretty funny out of context. Edit: And what does Lingerie Conversion System do? lol. It's pretty self-explanatory, no? Basically all the sprites wear lingerie. | ||

Yeah the anime version heads really suck, but then again I bought them because they had the realistic heads in the set too . If it were only the anime heads I wouldn't have bothered with these figures and probably would have ordered the other 2 I linked(but that would have cost me double, probably...). Although I got to say Saber Alter is really well done. She's done a fair bit better than Saber vanilla. The only thing I can't decide upon, is should I take SA's visor off or keep it on? Her face is really nice underneath. Done as well as Saber's, but more pale and with different colored eyes. Saber's breastplate can be taken off while SA's cant be, but in contrast SA's armor from the waist down is articulated, while Saber's is not.I was thinking about that pose you posted Spazer, or making her draw Caliburn from it's sheath (I prefer Caliburn to Excalibur just because it's sheath is so beautiful xD). I might put a few more pics up tomorrow with all 4 things mentioned above (the 2 poses and SA's visor off and Saber's breastplate off). I got to play with them some more and I quickly grew accustomed to them. They aren't as fragile as they seem but of course, you can't be brutal with them. The funny thing is, the hardest part is balancing them out. Their knees bend quickly and smoothly and it's hard to make them stand lol! I really hate seeing Saber stand on 1 foot while having the other in the air xD. About BL: Well I think maybe they could have gotten a mission in the first few episodes, where they were double crossed, set up, lost the trail of the package or beaten to it by an enigmatic other party or something. Eventually they'd find clues around or maybe even on the other missions and step into deep shit they weren't supposed to find out about etc. etc. etc. I would have liked that better than just episodic arcs with almost no connection to one another. I'm not talking about a really complex long arc every episode, but maybe a taste of an arc, then some clues or more about that 1 arc every 3 or 4 episodes or so, with some grand finale next season sometime. Just so the show would have something to follow except for the explosions. | ||

I cannot think of a single anime show (not movie), or even regular American TV show that is more bleak. You seem to be implying that I'm using the wrong measuring stick to evaluate the show. I don't know what metric you are using, but any reasonable one that I can think of would classify Texhnolyze as a pretty depressing show. I'm not totally sure what you mean by this. Texhnolyze certainly has more realistic characters than most anime, which is laudatory, but I'm not sure what movies you think it is similar to (nor do I understand what you mean by consciousness in this sentence). I don't think that you can establish the type of mood Texhnolyze does in only a 2 hour film (at least, it would be very difficult to do well). I don't really think I "dismissed" it. I just said it wasn't my type of show. And Texhnolyze is slow and depressing. I don't think that can be argued. If I don't like slow, depressing shows (well, actually I don't really mind slow) that seems like a valid reason to not be a fan of a slow depressing show. I prefer lots of different anime :p You seem to be upset that I dislike aspects of the show that you do like. But that's not really an argument. At best, you can say I have bad taste because the only reason I don't like a bleak, dreary show which is the third-best show ABe has done is that I don't like bleak, dreary shows in general :/ It might be depressing for you, but I think the 'dystopia', lack of dialogue and lack of a general happiness is refreshing and can be compared to a real society more than any anime. While the desperate struggling could be seen as bleak and hopeless, it could also be seen as a warming strength for humans to adapt to every condition. I think it's refreshing in part because it's up to the viewer to interpret the general mood and motives of the characters, which is generally laid out too obvious in anime (as explained beforehand). That's why I compared it to (artistic) movies, where also actual consciousness can be found in minimalism. I'm not saying it's necessarily very deep or requires intelligence to watch. The anime is merely one of very few ones that can capture the viewer without calculating audience types, archetype characterization, comforting predictability, slapstick jokes, tearjerkers and various overworked manipulation methods present in almost all anime. I think it's a bit sad that the audience is so damaged by these storytelling mechanisms (I'm not sure this is the right word) that they can not accept something different. | ||

I finished Dragon Crisis! ... ... ... those sad motherfuckers. They robbed me of the only thing I was looking forward to. A real fight with the black dragon and then they pull this shit. "The power of love" w00000 a fully grown black dragon the size of a motherfucking jambo jet 747 disappears because pink hearts started to flat around him?! Sick bastards. They didn't only destroy the only hope I had for that anime, they destroyed it in the utmost cheesy style ever. EVER. I felt like I was robbed. Duped. Deceived. To the jokers that made DC! : I want my life back. I want you to give me back 12x25 minutes of my life I will never get back. I want every last goddamn second of it. Every. Last. One. PoS anime. Zombie 11. Please someone stop them from taking acid... or give them more of it. I have no idea which would be better actually. Talking chainsaws, vampire ninjas dressed in maid outfits forming an orchestra, zombies cross-dressing and becoming cuter by the minute. I swear I'm gonna DL this in HD and smoke weed and rewatch this shit then. It will be like a trip within a trip O_0 Also: Necro voice so cuuuuuuuute. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + Show was average at best. They wasted first 8-9episodes on some plot that wasn't the real plot and then switched gears really fast to some BS at the end. It was entertaining enough I suppose, but it was by no means a great show. However, Yuu has an adorable voice. | ||

Although I also did the same to Madoka, and now I'm looking forward to the ending as much as anyone else. 1 for 2 isn't bad. | ||

All day I've been like "Where's blagoonga and Spazer to rage with me that TWGOK 137 isn't scanlated yet ;_;" Now I'm not gonna be able to sleep, because I'm gonna be wondering how Kami-nii-sama is gonna be a badass and save everyone. | ||
