crying tears of joy right now

flashbacks to swordz9 and I talking on AIM while watching anime at like 2 in the morning in 2012

Haha yeah those were good times.

Some surprise Ep1 anime impressions

Holmes of Kyoto - I called this boring and boy did I nail it. The start is weird too because it just randomly flashes back 2 weeks the second she meets the male lead before going right back to the present. There was another flashback not too long after that to continue the story of how she met Holmes. It wasnt really offensive, but it wasnt very interesting or anything either.

Chios School Road - Chio would look better without glasses. Some of the walking animation was kinda rough looking too, but this was funny and definitely something Ill watch more of.

All I know about Apocalypse is that people say the final dungeon is one of the worst final dungeons ever. I didnt really love the first game enough to bother getting Apocalypse because I had a lot of issues with it. A lot of the extra stuff can just be so tedious to even try to do and the map isnt good either

So basically youd consider it a seinen series instead of shounen. Thats fair. The line between the two is pretty thin for some series and a lot could just as easily be targeted to either age group though.

What makes you say Kill La Kill isnt shounen so easily? There are many shounen elements in it, like way more than there are of anything else you could label it

I dunno why I didnt think of it until now, but Kill La Kill is actually the best battle shounen for women. The strongest characters are basically all women and theyre actually good characters. I mean they get sexualized too, but thats just how it goes

The team I won with was

1 dupe Gogeta
0 dupe UI Goku
0 dupe SSB Vegeta
Rainbow LR Piccolo
Genie Bulma Dokkan Awakening from DB Saga INT Bulma
Chiaotzu
Friend Gogeta with as much potential investment as I could find

Do you happen to have SR INT Chiaotzu? Lots of people bring him for 1 free stun per fight despite the fact he hits like paper and gets hit even harder. His stun is that valuable in SBR

There are girls who voice young boys in English dubs too, but not always. FMA is a good example of that where Edward is voiced by a woman in Japanese, but a man in English because he looks old enough where a girl voicing him would be weird. Id say the HxH characters couldve been like dub Edward too because while theyre young they dont look too childish like Kid Goku or something

My Super PHY team beat SBR while I wasnt even paying attention. That makes 3 total SBRs I have beaten! I dont think my TEQ team can win because no SS3 Goku or SS4 Gogeta and my AGL cant win without Super Vegito or SS4 Vegeta :(

I mean the real reason is probably that otaku care more about girl VAs which is why theyre used for a lot of male characters. You rarely ever see the opposite where a guy voices a girl character in anime even if shes acting, dressing and talking like a guy

For 2D if a guy looks like a girl and is voiced by a girl he might as well have just been made a girl character. I mean why wouldnt you have a guy voice the character instead? Making it a girl just makes people think the character is even more feminine

Because anime's sexist in general? There aren't many series out there with equal representation for men and women. As far as shounen action goes, I can't really think of any solid examples other than Soul Eater?

Fairy Tail is pretty good about it compared to most other shounen action series.

I should probably grind some QP too before 1/2 AP is gone. Is Summer stuff starting immediately after?

How do people level up CEs efficiently anyways? I barely level them unless we get those exp CEs

Feed your garbage CEs from friend point draws into low level 3* CEs you don't want to save the accumulated EXP for later. That's really the only cute trick you can do that isn't 100% intuitive (it costs less QP to level up low level CEs and you get 100% transfer of accumulated EXP if you feed a leveled CE into another one)

Other than that there isn't much of a trick other than praying for great successes. I guess buying Event CEs you don't necessarily want for EXP is a thing you can do too.

Huh I never thought to do this. I usually just burn every non-event CE I pull from Friend Points >_>

Speaking of Artoria I got all my Saberfaces to max level now including Lily who isnt very good. Also got Serenity to max level, but I probably said that already and just forgot

Oh did that manga finish? I remember liking the anime. On that note its kinda annoying when a manga gets an anime and then the manga ends a bit after the anime is done and the rest is never animated.

I wouldnt really get much use out of it so Im good. Thanks for the offer though. You guys ever feel like you need to rewatch S1-2 of an anime because its been so long since S3 or just been a long time since you last watched a season? I never got to Durarara S2 yet and I feel like Id need to rewatch the first series to really remember whats going on and get into S2.

Crunchy wants an app to watch too...literally why wont any of these fucking places let you watch without downloading their app.

Oh right Crunchy free makes people wait for ep2s before they can watch episode 1s dont they?...uh might have to put that plan on hold for a couple more days

Just watched Aggretsuko ep1. Was honestly kinda boring even for a short. Not sure if Ill watch episode 2, but hey I watched something anime again for the first time in a while so thats something

watch something from summer

I dare you

Oh shit I guess I gotta now. I might check out some episode 1s for old times sake since the shows I know I want to watch this season Id rather marathon (like Titan)

Yeah, I tried using the site and whenever I try to play any video it just says to download the app. Doesnt seem to be any option of just watching through the site itself

Is it impossible to watch Netflix on my phone without downloading the app? It sure seems like it which is fucking dumb. I dont have the space to add a single thing on this phone before anybody says I should just download it.

The main guy in the hot springs show looks like he belongs in some other series. He just looks weird. Also I think Index S3 is supposed to be coming in Fall. It has been such a long time so Im excited. Hope we get a Railgun S3 announcement soon after

Too bad we cant just skip to Fall anime.

Oh I thought it aired yesterday

It aired 2 days ago which isnt really as long as LtMs post would make you think

I got curious what the last good PA Works series I saw was and it was Tari Tari from 2012. Action is kinda rare for them I guess, but werewolves vs vampires isnt anything new and Im not sure its ever been good to begin with. I can think of a couple things that have done it before and none were really that good

Im not sure Id be excited about Tenrou anyways. There isnt really any part of it that sounds good

I care that theyre on Netflix

. I think endings like Hitman Reborn might possibly be the worst though. Its like it literally went back to chapter 1 for everybody.

*meme about guy walking with his girlfriend CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT but looking back at hot chick STATUS QUO*

Pretty much. Watching Tsuna go through everything to basically go back to acting like a pussy again was awful. I mean hes got amazing powers and he just wants to be a wuss? What the fuck :(

I wont even give Boruto a chance. I just cant ever see myself caring to have any sort of interest in that world again after it shit all over itself multiple times. Toriko ended ok, but also sorta felt like it rushed and didnt go as big as it could have. I think endings like Hitman Reborn might possibly be the worst though. Its like it literally went back to chapter 1 for everybody. I cant think of a single fighting shounen series that ends well even for ones I really loved.

As long as it was stretched to include lots of characters and resolutions I wouldnt mind. Maybe he couldve gone back to do literally anything with Tatsuki or given Kon a real purpose after reintroducing him for the first time in years. Also maybe he could fix that shitty final chapter that seemingly nobody liked because it made no sense. I mean Id take more Bleach over literally Boruto. OP is gonna last decades more at this rate too

I remember Kubo saying he almost ended Bleach after the war arc, but he kept going. I dont really remember hearing or seeing anything after that so I just sorta assumed he finished it naturally and just didnt really care to go back and cover loose ends. In the end well probably never know just how much he wanted to do and what he mightve been told to cut by editors/Jump staff. If only they told others to wrap their series up more of them might not have ended so boring or terribly :(

Oh were on a new topic already. Didnt even notice until now. As for the Halibel question it was never shown I believe. She was last seen held prisoner after being defeated by the final villain and I dont think it ever went back to her. There were a lot of unresolved things in the end that he just never got back to for whatever reason.

...this alt is already better than my main at this point. Got a 2nd LR Gogeta and 3rd STR Gogeta

Janemba is the worst designed event in the game. Hes not hard at all, but he dodges so damn much its annoying. I literally once went 16 attacks before I hit him due to him dodging

Some anime figures look cool, but theyre expensive too. Not that it matters when you dont have money anyways, but still a lot of them are more expensive than consoles and thats just crazy to me

Oh wow Im gonna need a lot of chains to max her skills. Gonna focus on exp farming for now though and mats

He still got me down to a single Servant again. I had horrendous charm luck though so that didnt help. Both skills and 2 NPs failed to charm. Only 1 fight left now, but I am switching to chain grinding. Its going well (got 4 of them in like 3-4 plays) and I only need a couple more to get this dumb mask off Serenity

I beat all of them. They used to be pretty hard for me until the TEQ VB/STR Rose banners. I got a lot of good cards on those and breezes through the 2 newest Boss Rushes. Before that I had to beat the latest one with a Mono TEQ team and rely entirely on a rainbow SS3 Angel Goku to win lol

Oh so a coin toss chance? Luck be with me. So Im down to the last fight before the Camelot boss now. Im not sure what to use though. That 30% damage reduction is ridiculously good.....gonna give it a shot, but I get the feeling I will lose even with a type advantage team

Thanks, Im gonna need it. My worst fear is getting multiple Marthas or Maries and no Artoria or having a gold archer card be Arjuna or something. Ive got like 60 tickets and 300 quartz or somewhere around there so thats like a 20% chance maybe I dunno. Maybe this will be the one time where saving pays off since literally all the other time I did resulted in mega failure

Hopefully my horrendous Dokkan summon luck means Ill get Archer Artoria in one or two multis. Luck has gotta swing the other way eventually. Almost done with Camelot now, but Im a bit worried I might need my Command Seal continues for the last two characters I need to beat and I already used them the other day >_>

Meanwhile on my ALT got SS4 Gogeta dupe and my first LR Gogeta

50% SA increase my ass. Still got 4 levels to go with Tapion and I couldve SA10d the PHY 5 times at least. Got nothing else to do aside from raise Tapions SA either
