Late again. >_<

It took me some time to get into it at first, but once things get rolling it's quite fun, fast paced action. Having played most of the other Ys games that are out in english (haven't finished Origin and Ark of Napishtim) I expected no less.

A little disapointed Kanade didn't win, but she's cool too I guess.

The shows I'm going to stick with this season so far : Kyoukai no Kanata, Kill la Kill, Little Busters! Refrain. Shows I've already dropped : Nagi no Asukara, Coppelion. Shows I've grabbed but have yet to watch : Golden Time, Log Horizon, Higurashi Outbreak OVA(that's from this season right?), Walkure Romanze, Gingitsune. Kyoukai no Kanata is probably the one I'm most interested in at the moment, though Kill la Kill and Refrain look just as good. Glasses girl is pretty darn cute, and I find her clumsy side just adorable. Refrain has been pretty obvious with the hints, for those who've already read the VN, I'm looking forward to see how it'll turn out. One of my friends from a forum I used to visit over ten years ago has written an interesting analysis of the first episode of Kill la Kill. http://snubpollard.tumblr.com/post/63335089547/kill-la-kill-ep-1-i-suppose-the-first-and-most edit : I enjoyed the first episode of Log Horizon, so I'm going to continue watching for now.

Finished Ys I, starting Ys II now. Yay! It was quite fun and some of the boss fights were pretty challenging. (PSP version)

ARENA 01: Gokō Ruri (Kuroneko) [Tachibana Kanade] ARENA 02: Eucliwood Hellscythe [Misaka Mikoto] ARENA 03: [shiina Mashiro] Aragaki Ayase ARENA 04: Nakano Azusa [Yūki Asuna] ARENA 05: [Takanashi Rikka] Kuroyukihime ARENA 06: [Aisaka Taiga] Hasegawa Kobato ARENA 07: Leticia Draculair [Abstained] Black Rabbit ARENA 08: Itsuka Kotori [Abstained] Tokisaki Kurumi ARENA 09: Usami Akihiko [Abstained] Niizuma Eiji ARENA 10: [Kiba] Wolfram von Bielefeld I like Kuroneko, but Kanade seemed like the obvious choice.

I've been playing Ys I & II Chronicles on PSP. That bat boss, OMG, what the hell? He's kicking my ass so hard I've barely scratched him twice in all my attempts! edit : Yay! I finaly did it, what an annoying boss.

I watched the finale of both Shingeki no Kyojin and Railgun S. Both series were pretty good, and in both cases I hope it continues! I finished watching both season of Chihayafuru. So freakin' good, I just want MORE. I fell in love with this show from the first episode. It kinda reminded me of Hikaru no Go (loved the manga, haven't watched the anime), only with more feels.(josei manga vs shounen manga I guess) Also Chihaya is so pretty. I started Shinsekai Yori, but have only watched the first 3 episodes so far. Looks good though. I really like the visual style, the music felt great, and the storyline looks like it could be interesting. From this season's new shows, I've only watched Kyoukai no Kanata and Kill la Kill. Both looked pretty interesting and look like shows that I probably won't drop. I also checked out Nagi no Asukara, but it didn't really seem very interesting and I didn't finish the episode. I also have Coppelion and Golden Time that I plan to check out sometime soon.

I'm a bit late, but I'll at least try, count me in!

I finished Psycho-Pass before going to work today. It was better than I expected.(Why I ever doubted this I don't know, I'm usualy a fan of Philip K. Dick and this kind of sci-fi.) It's not really a crying show, but I did shed a tear when Akane has also proved she has more "balls" than I expected her. I'm still DLing Shinseikai Yori (I had to plug my portable HD somewhere else for a bit) and I remembered after finishing PP that I've been wanting to watch Chihayafuru for a while now, so I started that. It's pretty good so far, it lives up to the good comments I heard about it. I feel like this could become a favorite! (Also looking forward to watching Shinsekai Yori though, glad to see jaxter also likes it!) I also need to catch up on Attack on Titan soon, otherwise I feel one of my IRL friends might spoil me.

I finaly caught up with Railgun S yesterday. So good indeed, can't wait for 24. I'm now watching the Railgun OVAs that I had skipped. I'm now up to episode 14 of Psycho-Pass. It's pretty good so far, I ended up watching 3 to 14 almost non-stop. Akane is a more likable heroine than I expected her to be. I'm eager to see how this'll turn out. I also watched Hoshi no Koe. I shed a few tears, it was better than the begining led me to believe! Also, looking at shcboomer's MAL got me interested in Shinsekai Yori, so DLing now.

ARENA 01: Aoyama Nanami [Misaka Mikoto] ARENA 02: [Takanashi Rikka] Aragaki Ayase ARENA 03: [Kuroyukihime] Aisaka Taiga ARENA 04: Yuzuriha Inori [Tachibana Kanade] ARENA 05: Rita Ainsworth Amatsuka Mao [Ayase Chihaya] ARENA 06: [Abstained] Tsukuyomi Sasami Ruki Maō ARENA 07: [Abstained] Tokisaki Kurumi Ichii Yui Miyakawa Hikage ARENA 08: [Abstained] Yukinoshita Yukino Tsukumo Mushanokōji Iwai ARENA 09: [Haruhara Haruko] Nono Kazami Mizuho ARENA 10: [Abstained] Hasebe Kaoru Takanashi Kozue Yukinoshita Haruno Nanami vs Misaka was tough one, but I guess marathoning Railgun S to catch up in the past few days might have influenced my choice.

I finaly did it! I finished 7th Dragon 2020! That last boss was one of the toughest I fought in a while, I don't know how many tries it took me, and I barely got him with last minute EX Skills. I might import the sequel eventualy, but it's a bit too expensive for my budget right now, and who knows if they might do a cheaper reprint like with this one. Anyway, I really enjoyed it. It was one of my first import video games, which I bought last year, and I'm very satisfied with what I got out of it.

Dagnabbit! The final boss in 7th Dragon 2020 is being a real pain in the ass. After trying to beat him 6 times in a row with my level 60 party that was annihilating pretty much anything up to this point I decided to reload and go complete the few remaining sidequests that I have. I can take a pretty good chunk of his health, but he has a very annoying skill that gives him an extra turn whenever he kills one of my characters, and once he starts it's pretty much the end for me. Also, an aquaintance from the web wanted me to visit his Animal Crossing town, so I'm redownloading that to my 3DS if anybody is also interested in a visit! I only played for the first 2 or 3 weeks though, so my town is not very advanced.

I watched a few shows since I last posted in this topic : I finished Index II and watched the movie as well. Index II was rather disapointing IMO, much less interesting than Index season 1 and Railgun, but I rather enjoyed the movie.(despite a little too much singing to my liking) I'm now up to episode 15 of Railgun S and enjoying it a lot more than the three other series/seasons. I also finished Ano Hana. It was pretty good, but I guess I was too hyped about it as it didn't hit me nearly as much as I thought it would. Still a great show though. I'm not sure if I posted about finishing Nichijou, but I finished that too. I absolutely loved it, it went straight to my top 5 as I finished it. Great comedy, lovable characters, amazing animation. It might even dethrone Chuu2 as my favorite KyoAni show. (next up to watch is Lucky Star, I know I'm late) I started a few shows on Netflix, but the only one I've finished so far is Eden of the East and its first movie. The series was pretty good, the movie on the other hand bored me to death so I don't think I'll be watching the second one. Next up on my list to watch are probably Psycho-Pass and Lucky Star, once I finish catching up on Railgun S and maybe Shingeki no Kyokin(I'm still only up to ep 16). Oh and Hoshi no Koe and 5 Centimeters Per Second somewhere in there too.

<3 Ryu Umemoto and chiptune! I kinda want to try out Desire now. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1pYBCJpZ3Lk

I've been playing Rose Guns Days season 1, which I actualy bought a few months ago but hadn't gotten around to playing it much. I'm really enjoying it so far, the action scenes aren't bad either. Other than that I've been procrastinating on all the VNs I've got started. I felt like trying Kamidori Alchemy Meister recently though and I've been enjoying it more than I expected.

Still playing Tales of Xilla, a little more than 30 hours in. I'm finding the lillium orb leveling system to be one of the more interesting aspects of the game so far, I like it better than Graces f's Title system. The battle system feels a little less intuitive and not quite the fast-paced fireworks chaos that was Graces f, but I like it better than Vesperia's and Abyss', though I've only been using Milla since the begining. (except for the mandatory Jude parts) Most of the characters are likable, though Ivar is not only one of the most annoying characters ever, I just wanted him to die a painful death at a certain point. The story seemed predictable at first, but it has taken a turn I didn't expect, so we'll see how this turns out later on. Also, I'm almost done with the main game in 7th Dragon 2020! Currently fighting Human Dragon Mizuchi in Chapter X. I think I only have the dragon god left to beat after that and I'll have finished the game! We'll see how difficult the bonus dungeon is after that.

Congrats Nayleen and thanks for all your hard work! I'm glad this place is back.
