I just use google, though in the case of Japanese Yen, I can pretty much make the conversion in my head by now since I've been doing a bit too much importing in the past two years lol.

Dark Souls 2 is quite addictive. It's always when you want to quit that you can't stop because you just HAVE to retrieve those souls. lol Otherwise my knight build is going well, but I'm still having trouble against large enemies.

7000 Yen = 68 USD

Saber Lily came in this week. Now all that 's left is Tharja and that should be it for a while. She's beautiful, I cannot stress how amazing the details are. Definitely the new gem of my collection. :3 I'm now almost tempted to get the regular Saber from the same sculptor. For some reason the hair and golden parts come out as a lot more yellow on my pictures than they are in reality. Also, Mandarake currently has that Misaka Mikoto in maid uniform for 7000 Yen : http://ekizo.mandarake.co.jp/shop/en/item_s-738247.html

I my first anime was Astro Boy when I was really young, but what got me into anime much later was probably Akira and the Studio Ghibli movies, followed by Evangelion some time later. My first manga I think was I''s, which I read online scanslations of when I was in high school.(that's over 10 years ago!) I also remember reading Love Hina and Yu Yu Hakusho around the same time so I'm not 100% sure which one came first. The manga I've been collecting for the longest time though, and am still buying today, is Berserk.(French edition.)

Surprisingly, Saber Alter ended up getting here before the Saber Lily that was in the same order as the artbook I got yesterday. She's smoking hot, the details are very impressive, my crappy pics do her no justice.

I picked up Dark Souls 2 for the ps3 earlier today. Played about an hour and a half after coming home with it. Looking good so far. Battle, while indeed tough, hasn't been as hard as online comments had lead me to believe, most of my deaths so far were the result of me accidently jumping of cliffs a bunch of times. I started off as a Knight since I thought a slower and sturdier character might be better suited to my play style.(and I like two-handed swords.) On the portable side I'm mostly focusing on Ace Attorney Dual Destinies, with a little Mother 3 on the side.

Finishing up the UBW route in F/SN. Looking forward to Heaven's Feel since I've been told several times that this was the best route.

Someone just posted a comparison between the two most recent ones and I thought it might interest you : http://myfigurecollection.net/blog/13480 From what I've read, Kotobukiya might be the one, though GSC's is pretty good as well. My Saber Lily figure should be coming in soon, since I just received the Type Moon 10th Anniversary Phantasm artbook that was part of the same order.(That they split in two.)

I rarely do this, but I've watched Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt for like the third time in two months. This has quickly become one of my favorite shows, I often end up watching this when feeling bored. I usualy prefer subbed anime, but the dub on this one is great and actualy contributes to my liking of the series I think. I particularly like the animation, and I can't seem to get tired of the raunchy humor.

I think people who get offended by that kind of thing should learn to stay out of these kinds of topic, otherwise they're just asking for it. (I've seen plenty of shows I liked mentionned already and still haven't called out anyone on their choices.) To stay on topic : Even though I really liked the original Dragonball series, I thought Dragonball Z was pretty bad. The new "Kai" series is a bit better, but I still can't stick with it past a certain point. All the charging up and the seemingly endless fights, it's just too boring for me.

I finished Shin Megami Tensei IV yesterday. I ended up going chaos route. My main dude was level 72 by the end of the game. Overall I'd say it was pretty good, I really enjoyed it, though I couldn't be bothered to complete all the challenge quests. (Which I learned afterwards is a requirement for the Neutral ending.) Since then I've been playing some Ace Attorney - Dual Destinies, though I've been thinking of going back to Etrian Odyssey Untold, and I still have to play my copy of Mother 3 on GBA.

Legend of the Crystals: Final Fantasy . As a big FF fan, it was one of the first anime I downloaded back during the days of 56k modems. Even for a teenager that loved FF and hadn't watched a lot of anime yet, my friend and I both thought it was awful on just about every level. Kyoukai no Kanata : Even though it had it's moments, I'd still rate it as a stinker in KyoAni's library. The ending was especialy awful, I kinda just want to forget about it. Otherwise I tend to drop and forget shows pretty quickly when it seems obvious I won't enjoy it.

It's one of my favorites this season. :3 If you like the animation in previous shows animated by Shaft and also enjoy comedy and don't mind the high school setting(with a yakuza twist), I'd say go for it. Just don't expect too much from the romance aspect of the show. It's only been getting better with each episode for me at least. Also, can't wait for the next Log Horizon.

I watch a lot of sitcoms, I'll only list shows that are still running, whether currently airing or not. Community How I Met Your Mother 2 Broke Girls The Big Bang Theory (pretty much "junk food" type television, but I still get a good laugh out of it.) Bob's Burgers The Simpsons American Dad Family Guy Archer South Park A Game of Thrones Need to catch up on the latest seasons of : The League, It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia, Dexter, Hero Corp(French) I also like some French and French Canadian TV shows, but I'm not really watching any specific one at the moment. Last French show I really enjoyed from the top of my head is Eric Judor's Platane, which I found both hilarious and rather original.

I recently rewatched Gurren Lagann after getting my hands on the old Anime Legend dvd set. It was still a blast to watch, I now remember why I liked it so much all those years ago. The last episode was even more intense than I remembered. This show feels like it just keeps escalating until it reached the point of near absurdity. I now started watching Kara no Kyoukai, I just finished the first movie/ova/whatever. It was pretty good, looking forward to the rest of it. I had kind of been putting this off for a long time.

I missed a bunch of matches lately, oh well.

I haven't been reading VNs much in the past few months, but I've been trying to get back to it and finish some of those I had started. I went back to my old game of Fate/Stay Night this week, currently up to day 10 of UBW. There's also Rin's route in Katawa Shoujo that I've been trying to finish since it's the last one I've got remaining. Surprisingly good so far, considering she was my least favorite before that.

I'll skip the OP most of the time, sometimes without even watching it once, except in a few cases where I watch it almost every time.(Like Kill La Kill and Hozuki this season.) For the ED I'll usualy fastforward to the next ep preview. I'll watch both OP/ED at least once if the animation sequence is interesting or if the song doesn't get on my nerves.

Finished Bravely Default yesterday. After over 90 hours of game time, I'd say I got my money's worth. The last boss was more challenging than I expected, though I still got it on my first try. The last few optional fights were really something else though. Great game overall, I really enjoyed it and got pretty much what I expected. The bonus Bravely Second preview was pretty cool too, I'm psyched for the sequel already.

Still struggling with the last optional battles in chapter 8 of Bravely Default. Shit gets real when even a level 99 party can get wiped out in one turn if unprepared. (I'm actualy level 89, but I've seen people with level 99 parties screaming for help on Gamefaqs lol.) Even when prepared it's pretty damn hard actualy. I'll probably squash the main game bosses like bugs after that. I've also been replaying a bit of FF9 on PS1.

I haven't had much time to post lately, but earlier this week I received the Momo I had ordered. At a scale of 1/6 she is pretty big compared to the other figures I have, and she's by far the sexiest figure I got. I also ordered Gift's amazingly detailed Saber Lily by Satoshi Toda, along with the Type Moon 10th Anniversary Phantasm artbook.

I'm 75 hours into Bravely Default, optional boss fights are getting pretty challenging! Great game, it's rare nowadays for me to still have this much fun after spending this long on one game. I particularly like how the sidequests tie in to the main scenario and are not just fetch quests and the like.
