What the fuckkkkkkkkkkkkk long post incoming, also spoilers below you've been warned don't be a dumdum Whenever I watch an anime, I WATCH it. I sit in my room, turn out the lights, and come out a few days later. I lose interest in watching Anime really fast if I don't do this, so if I want to watch it I have to binge. And every time I come out of it, I have nothing else on my mind for the next two or three days, and it means that almost every anime I've ever seen has a big impact on me. So I have a lot about it on my mind and I need to expel it. Firstly, the main character. GOD he sucked so badly. He constantly needed character building episodes that distracted from the intriguing plotline, and then he'd usually just abandon all the development anyways. Nearing the last few episodes he started to be interesting and notably not a bitch, but haha jk he goes insane, kills his friends, and then literally the next episode it's like it never happened. He never even feels guilty that he just shot them in cold blood wtf. Oh yeah he's consistently pretty dumb. And can't decide anything. Like when he tells Yuno to go to hell I was like "yes, now maybe he might keep that up and be interesting" but NOPE once again the NEXT EPISODE he reverts to this crying bitch who makes her fight for him. And in the end, Yuki has practically no redeeming qualities, but over all of these people he becomes God. This is a guy who doesn't really even feel remorse for killing basically everyone who cares about him ('cept Yuno who kills herself, but hey) and then he gets a happy ending. So do all of the other characters kinda, but that's in a different dimension, and the distinction is already made that these are different people and it doesn't matter. Yuno was gud, Yandere is fun. o/ I guess in the end she becomes not crazy...? It's a little weird but I buy it easily enough. Episodes 24 and 25 she just kinda stops loving Yuki for awhile, I don't think that's how her insanity works and it seemed a little too convenient, but again she was a good character who basically carried the show through the first like 60% of it. Terrorist Lady, after her first appearance, never actually seemed like a terrorist. I'm all for reformed criminal plotlines, but honestly I didn't think her's was done very smoothly. Taking one of Yuki's many pointless character development episodes and giving to her would have been really interesting, instead they just hamstrung it in right before she "died." Also becomes omnipotent, that was really weird but honestly at that point there was so much crazy shit going on I just went with it. I liked the creepy demon child guy, too bad he was only for one episode. It was like a fun version of Chuckie the Killer Doll Akise was a really cool character, and basically had good chemistry with every other character, and the way he died was awesome as well. He really carried a lot of episodes and interactions with other characters made those other characters more interesting for having interacted with him. While Yuno was carried by her being a well-written Yandere, Akise was carried by his really good dialogue (and later on, the fact that he's not really a human, but he is). Also, is silver hair just the universal harbinger of a good character? Gin Tama, Toshiiro Hitsugaya, seriously. On that note, why is handing someone a soda the end-all sign of a good person who's very kind and has only the purest intentions? Literally every Anime has at some point a character handing a depressed character a soda to cheer them up, and it becomes a big connection for them. If the character had any respect he'd at least bring something more healthy. Overall it was very enjoyable, but there were a lot of weak points. The characters and the last few episodes being actually well-written carried all of the vulnerabilities, such as the main character sucking, inconsistent plot, characters making really dumb mistakes, universally horrible character development, and an ending that I feel didn't do justice to the right people. Also thugdere still the true dere. Yandere is nothing compared to its perfectness. IM SORRY I GOT BORED | ||

No, people only post here while working, that's why post counts go down during weekends. I'm wide awake, after having to wake up at like 6am during this weekend >.< | ||

Which he played 1. That's how i designed the deck. Ideally, I hit the combo mirror each time against that deck and don't have to worry about it. The later that game goes the better my deck gets. | ||

I tend to like the more unorthodox decks. I understand the basic premise behind card games - I just haven't played very much (cuz starting out with only mage is super lame) and haven't learned the cards and all that jazz. | ||

Well, for Hearthstone, the opponent can't interrupt or react to anything you're doing on your turn. The combo priest was really about getting guys with high health, then using Inner Fire (to make its attack equal to its health), and then swinging in for loads of damage (preferably lethal) | ||

Since there are no interactions from your opponent out side Secrets, its very easy to see the hunter deck kill someone on turn 5-8 from 20-30 life. | ||

I've always understood it to be just combo of cards played that exponentially increases your power, to deal tons of damage (and in hunter's combo deck, usually 1 hit k-o) | ||

In HS, you get to mulligan any number of your starting hand, so I think it's a bit easier to set up. Also, your deck is only 30 cards (although only a max of 2 copies of each card are allowed). | ||
