Metaler

Oh man, how could I have forgotten about Minami-ke? I haven't watched the previous two seasons because they seemed pretty bad, but this one reminds me a lot of the first one, but with actually good animation!

Unfortunetely, I don't... Not yet at least! But you may have seen me on vndb once or twice... Or many times. I used to post there a lot, but I kinda got tired of it. Too much undudeness, you could say. >: Thanks for the welcome!

My favorites are Kirara and Megu. Ahh, so nice and humble~

GJ-bu and Tamako Market are the best SoLs of the season. GJ-bu especially was a pleasant surprise. Excellent comedy. Sasami-san's also high on my list... It's absolutely insane, and I love shows like this. Whatever it is that Shinbou is smoking or taking, I want some of that. Also, I've been watching Sakurasou, like most of the people here... But I dunno, I haven't been liking the series so much after the second half. Too much melodrama for me. =/ And lastly, I picked up Zetsuen no Tempest this weekend. Awesome show. The story's epic, though I'm still in the 8th episode.

Currently playing through Rio's route in Dracu-Riot and Kotori's route in Rewrite.

This thread... You guys are going to kill me someday. But man... There are so many cute images I like it'd take a looong time to list them all, but here's some from me: Arararagi-san. From Sono Hanabira. From the new Sono Hanabira. This one is dangerous. Runa's harem... Again from Sonohana. Azusa, badass adorable. Her gun looks like it came straight out of Trigun or Hellsing. The Sora no Otoshimono girls want to know... Nymph~ DESS Metal.

Matanza - Whiskey Para Um Condenado http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6zUDF9I2vw I've been listening to mostly chill music lately, but this is the exception. lol

Man, you guys are all a really friendly bunch! Thanks for the welcome, y'all! Opa! É nóis, rapaz! Haha well, it DOES take a lot of effort... Although lately I haven't been really "studying", just reading untranslated VNs with a texthooker + Mecab/Jparser, hoping that'll take me somewhere... I would've made a whole lot more progress if I actually studied more, haha. orz Man, Robotech... I have to confess, I'm not too familiar with it, or any old anime other than the ones I mentioned. And yeah, you could say I was a Little... Buster. Also, that quote on your sig... Righteous! I consider the Remake to be the Duke Nukem Forever of VNs... Except, of course, it'll be awesome when it comes out. (And well... I say this, but I still liked DNF... One of the few people who did, I guess. ;A; ) Sure did, and yeah, I love the new character designs. Arc looks so much better! <3 Unfortunetely, I'm not... Even if I wanted to, my Japanese is just not good enough. lol I'm... not using it. orz Though I heard about it and it seems like it works for many people! Don't give up on trying. There'll be many times when you feel like you're not making a lot of progress, but baby steps are key, I think. Just enjoy the ride, it'll be worth it later!

Hey guys, name's Metaler. Or just Mets, Meta, or what have you! I've been registered in these forums for a while now, but I never managed to post anything, much less write an introduction! So yeah, I'm your average guy, studying linguistics in college and generally just lazying around, haha. I've been interested in anime and manga ever since I was a little brat, when I watched DBZ, Pokemon and Digimon. Around my first year of high school, I discovered visual novels after the Tsukihime anime was dubbed here, and I found out it was based on one. I had already heard that the anime was terribad, so I decided to try out the VN and I was hooked. Loved it to death, and it's a memorable classic to me. Afterwards, I tried out Yume Miru Kusuri, and shiiiiit son, that turned out to be one of my personal favorites. I still remember Aeka's route like it was yesterday. Later, I tried out some other classics like Fate/Stay Night and Sharin no Kuni, most of which I still have very fond memories of. Lately, I've been trying to expand to trying out VNs in Japanese, so about a year and a half ago, I started studying Japanese after finding Tae Kim's guide and Aaeru's blog post. Ever since then, I gotta say my Japanese improved a lot... At least in terms of reading, haha. I finished all of the Sono Hanabira games, having understood most of what was writter, and I'm currently playing through Dracu-Riot. I also tried out Rui wa Tomo wo Yobu, but damn, that's too hard for me. But I'll read it someday! I ain't gonna leave that adorable Rui waiting forever. Apart from that, I just generally try to take it easy as much as possible. I'm pretty lazy, but at least I don't let it get to me, haha. I love reading, and I generally enjoy pretty much any kind of story. I don't have many preferences, even within the realm of eroge... I just stay away from rape games and I have very little interest in nukige, mostly (though I did try out Bishoujo Mangekyou...) I'm also interested in philosophy, and I've been pretty interested in Taoism lately. Good vibes, dude. I love easy-going and peaceful thoughts. Aaaand, well, that's it, I suppose. I'm sure we'll get to know each other better with time. Aw hell, I'm just blathering about like crazy. Cheers, and take it easy!
