The world of Saint Seiya is a terrifying place, you can't go one day without some god awakening and trying to blot out the sun or cover the earth in plants or something

If the MegaTen franchise has taught me anything is that Gods are assholes and want to kill, subjugate and gently caress us over constantly, so beating the poo poo out of them is perfectly acceptable.

29-year-old programmer Suzuki Ichirou finds himself transported into a fantasy RPG with video game mecahnics. Within the game, he is a 15-year-old named Satou. Immediately after his arrival, he uses a unique power to destroy an army of lizardmen and becomes the most powerful human in the world as the army gave him tons of XP. He then saves the daughter of a noble from a monster, starts building a harem by saving several demi-human slave girls from abuse, defeats a powerful demon in one hit to become the city's saviour and in the process obtains two more slave girls to add to his harem.

This is the story of a 29 year old in the body of a 15 year old using his high stats and powers to build a harem in a fantasy RPG world with video game mechanics.

Aren't Reincarnation / Trapped in Another World novels like the "Little Sister" fad that was all the rage when Oreimo was popular?

Komachi Hikigaya

Neither were exactly the main focus of their works, but both were awesome. Especially Komachi. Aoi Yuuki is generally awesome as hell. :3:

Yeah, I read that Clamp kinda wanted to end it where the first series left off but because their readers were so young they felt like they had to continue it.

I didn't really like the second series (never got far in the anime) so I just assume the end of the first one is what's canon.

Yeah, I recall reading that interview too. The one thing I remember is that, when they return from Cephiro for the first time, the girls are basically shell-shocked. All I keep thinking is "How the gently caress did CLAMP thought this would be an okay place to stop?". Like, now that I've read multiple Clamp works, I know that those ladies can have a nasty streak, but holy poo poo.

I recently rewatched the series and, while it does show its age, the first season still feels like it has overall good pacing. The second season has a bunch of problems, most of all in fact that it's longer but it feels like it should've been shorter, but at the very least the ending is (mostly) okay.

If I remember correctly, the English subtitles for Rayearth translated "-chan" into "-ster", which resulted in Hikaru calling the others Umi-ster and Fuu-ster.

I'm glad that after all the poo poo that happened in the 2nd half of our year, my girlfriend wants to get back "on the horse" and play songs live.

She's debating whether playing a Deftones tribute:

Or an Isis (the band) tribute:

Would be more fitting. I honestly just feel very lucky that she's doing a heckuva lot better after going through that poo poo-shower.

I am glad things are looking up :)

But I am sad to report that I cannot understand either of those songs and I can't give an opinion :(

Thanks!

With Deftones, it's almost always pretty simple: Although he never usually comes out and states it plainly (the fact that Chino doesn't spell anything out for people tends to help), most of the topics singer and occasional second guitar player Chino sings about are:
  • Sex (if you think that a song is talking about sex, you're going to be right like 90% of the time)
  • Drugs
  • Inner Struggles
  • Fake-rear end people and how they need to get over themselves
They have some other topics, but again, unless Chino says something very specific like "I hate all of my friends, they all lack taste sometimes", just assume it's about any of those 4 topics.

Isis' song is about a really dysfunctional relationship between brother and sister that plunges the main character of that record's narrative into depression.

You know, talking about these songs, I kinda understand why I started liking these bands back when I was a dumb teenager and I can't help but feel a bit silly for continuing to support these artists' endeavors. :negative:

I think my girlfriend has a crush on a fictional character. I mean yeah, it's Rin, so duh, but still a slight cause of concern.

Also, I told her that the "boring blondie lady knight" is voiced by the same lady that voice Nodame, and I think that made her a bit sad. (Nodame Cantabile was her gateway series into anime).

some day when i'm not watching 20 shows i'll pick hxh back up

have fun with yorknew tab, it's probably my favorite arc in any shonen thing

Hunter x Hunter kinda keeps on baffling both me and my girlfriend. According to her (I also strongly agree), almost every arc feels like it could be a standalone anime/TV show on its own, kinda like a "JoJo Part". She said the only one that didn't feel like that was the Killua Rescue arc. Also, breaking news:
  • She could care less about Saber (Rin is still best girl, because DUH)
  • Hisoka made her flip her poo poo. Hard.
I mean, Hisoka IS a great character and all, but how the gently caress did the guys at Shueisha look at that creepy motherfucker and didn't go "Sorry Togashi, but... a guy dressed like a clown who's all but stalking two 13-year old kids? Come on, man". In other news: My girlfriend got bit by the manga bug and it's currently collecting One Week Friends. Having to go around town and hunt the issues down (currently publication here in México is at Volume 4) is kinda fun, but a bit tiring. The reason why she doesn't just go to Amazon or whatever and use my credit card to buy whatever's available that way continues to evade me.

"Blue" Saber, the one from the 2006 Anime, Fate/Zero and UBW (and Carnival Phantasm, I guess), the "original recipe", so to speak (the rest of them being extra crispy because stay with me here) is a really basic character. Sure, she has her motivations and all which make her a bit more interesting once you know who she is, but she's still incredibly boring. I'm sure if I go and re-play F/SN again, maybe I can see a more interesting side of her, but I only get my commute time (around 80 minutes a day in 2 trips, all in all) to play Vidja Games, so that's a no go.

Like, I'm sure Total Eclipse and Schwarzesmarken would be way more interesting if I'd just bite the bullet and play the VN's, but no. I'm good. Muv-Luv Unlimited and Alternative were okay and I'm satisfied with that. NEXT

KonoSuba is high quality fluff.

Showa Genroku Rakugo isn't, and just had like the most heartbreaking twist I've seen in a mostly slice-of-life anime in a long time, and a rare twist I didn't see coming at all.

There's plenty of jobs in the sea, don't worry.
KonoSuba is the weirdest thing: I was sick and tired of Isekai/Trapped in another world/Reincarnation fantasy anime/manga/novels, and now I know that there's a guy out there who basically said "Holy poo poo, they're dumb AF". So then he proceeded to say "Hey, me too!". And it's so dumb, it wraps around to being hi-drat-larious. So yeah, KonoSuba is extremely my bag.

I don't want to think about Rakugo in a good while, despite the fact that I LOVED the first season. Thanks, NoWon.

Poser gets the point across much better.
