Pfffft, no need to worry about amount of things you've seen, feel free to post here whenever.

I also remember seeing that there is a DGN about MGS2 from Snake's perspective.

Good or bad?

While the MGS story is good, I would only want to watch it in a proper MGS video game.

The story is nothing when disconnected from its stealthy video game goodness.

Well, that makes sense. It must be like Half-Life without the gameplay or something, It wouldn't immerse you into the story I guess.

It's not and likely never will be, which is a shame, because it's amazing.

I'm also curious about the new series. Macross Frontier, wondering if that's good or not...

I had high hopes at first, now they're all but gone.

You should check and see if they have Buddha.

I doubt they would if most of their stuff is as weak as she'd mentioned.

If only for the massive over-the-top final antagonist match.

Washizu is best final boss ever.

Well i tried akagi, its pretty good, but the only downside is i don't know the rules to whatever game they are playing, so it kinda leaves me lost, i don't know if they are making a bold move, doing something wierd, something stupid, etc.

The translation notes get pretty in-depth as it goes on, and a lot of the observing characters tend to provide commentary on the game.

But yeah, the first few episodes (and the last arc) are totally lost on you unless you know a bit about Mahjong.

God to know it gets less confusing. Anybody watched any of the mainstream animes? E.g. naruto or anything on [AdultSwim].

You know this isn't a role playing club, right?

That is the case.

I think there might have used to have been some roleplaying, though.

You could always just pick your favourite anime character and put '_____ of the Anime Club' in your signature, like so many others.

I'm Edward Wong Hau Pepelu Tivrusky IV in that regard.

So I found Lupin III--Albatross, Wings of Death on VHS in this used video store. For $3.

Hooray!

And picked up more manga today. Place I went to was charging $67.99 for first semester of GTO.

FUCK YOU, GOLDEN AGE.

Since it was a Saturday, i thought there would be a shit-storm of little kids, guess i was wrong, thanks for suggesting akagi, it really kicks ass.

I decided to watch Nadia: The secret of Blue Water again (subtitled) because I remember that I watched it years ago and never got to finish it properly.

What I didn't like was the Island and the Africa episodes, fillers, except for a very few scenes.
They had relayed the animation to another studio instead of Gainax, so they could focus on the main story. Weak excuse and a very bad move.

Nonetheless, it was good, brought nostalgic thoughts on.
But the difference was that I had seen it in german then, so I watched it in in that language too.

While the germans voice actors are very good at, well, voice acting it does get rather monotonous after a while, seeing that the mid-aged male voices sound rather alike.

Enough of that though, I've read that they released a movie of Nadia.

According to 80% of critics it is an utter waste of time. Too many reused scenes from the series and too many cardboard cutouts. Supposedly very clichéd.

<SPOILERS SPOILERS SCROLL DOWN>

But the main problem is that it has a complete different setup than the ending of the series gives, one of the biggest being that Jean and Nadia have moved apart and that the Grandis Gang even attacks them later on even though they established a friendship in the series. Even two main characters are written out, Marie and King.
That's probably because the production team was not the original one.

<END OF SPOILERS END OF SPOILERS>

Having read all the negative sides about it though I'm still going to watch it, just because.
And I want my own opinion on it. Hope it doesn't turn out to be the predicted shitstorm.

Bought moar manga (moar Golgo 13, now I only missing 10, Nana, Maison Ikkoku, and Berserk), and found (to my dad's happiness) volume 3 of Black Lagoon and War in the Pocket, on Mendou's recommendation.

So now I got like, 11 volumes of manga to chug through, as well as my library book I have to finish in 4 days (200/600 pages, yay!), as well as finishing off Sailor Moon R, as well as the other Lupin movies, as well as Black Jack OVAs, as well as Black Lagoon and Berserk.

*head asplodes*

And I'm thinking about applying to the anime/manga store because they're hiring, and I can demand to get my Black Jack DVDs.

And uh, bitchslap those who buy unacceptable anime. >_>

Finishing up Berserk now. What a great series. Not the best, but you have tto watch this show. NOW WHERE IS THE SECOND SEASON LOL!!!

Seriously though, great show.

Black Lagoon is awesomesauce. The rest of them are also pure awesome.

I finally got myself the Cowboy Bebop complete series box set. And I got a copy of Tekkon Kinkreet.

I've been forgetting about GTO lately. It's been a while since I watched an episode.

I don't. Perhaps you're thinking of hentai. I don't get off on that either, though.
