It's taking every ounce of willpower to stop myself from buying this:
Because I know if I buy that, I have to get the hatchy egg special edition:
And of course, if I have one, I'll HAVE to buy the whole Godhand as they are released.
All for the low, low price of 80 bucks Canadian (115 for the eggy version).

Shit, Gatchaman has gotten WAY more hardcore the last time I watched it apparently!It's taking every ounce of willpower to stop myself from buying this:

Get ready for awkward use of CGI! Heh-heh, I'm jaded.
Does Ironblooded Orphans suck as much as I think it does? I just saw a dumb ass scene about a guy's harem and it did not bode confidence, and I thought the name was stupid enough.
It was just kinda boring, I found. That seems to be the general issue in Gundam, either it's fantastic and you're 100% in, or it's boring and plods along until you get bored and find something else to watch.
Here's a short trailer for that Patlabor reboot:
no Noa?
WELL-the CGI isn't TOO terrible looking, plus there's still that hilarious property damage we've come to know and love from this series.
But yeah seriously, where the fuck is Noa? Is pony-tail lady Noa? Why Noa have a pony-tail? WHY MUST THEY RUIN MY MEMORIES?! AH-whatevs.
Well noa is a labor pilot and her handler is the son of the ceo of the patlabors manufacturer -_-
AH-so she's still a pilot? Okay then.
Oh...you killed like 100 people. But you are a cute girl with a troubled past? all is forgiven.
I also hate how anime protagonist keep on trying to reform their enemy in the middle of fights. And it always leaves them open and they get their asses kicked. What a cheap way to try to produce tension.

Will it be WORSE than the later seasons, or just as stupid and schmaltzy, TAKING ALL BETS!
Oooooooooooooh they should, they should have, stopped at season one part 2-YEAH! Or season 1 part one, I'm good with either really.
Ehh... I liked Season 2 Part 1. Shifting from a Sword and Sorcery MMO to a shooter was interesting.
Part of me wants to say yes...but immediately after they went into some stupid bullcrap where the BIG CONSEQUENCE was making sure their video game didn't delete itself, no real world murder no nothing. AND THEN-the Asuna fan pandering story, which dammit just felt too little too late and I stopped giving a shit.
ALSO-should we be assumed that the Laughing Coffin people-DIDN'T-go to jail for what they did?! WHAT THE HELL?! WHO WAS IN CHARGE OF HANDLING THIS DEBACLE?!
What evidence did the Laughing Coffin people have that ANYONE they killed in-game was actually dead until they left the game? All they knew is they couldn't leave and the guy who trapped them there claimed they would die if they died in-game, but he might have just been saying that to keep them trapped in the game. More to the point, killing other players for their items was a good way to ensure your own personal survival if it WAS true.
I'd also wager that the authorities didn't have a master list of player names and accounts because the game was deleted when the creator was defeated. Without one, you couldn't prove anyone was involved.
Its in the freakin' future, how the hell COULDN'T future hackers find a master list of who did what? Asuna's terrible not-boyfriend got the data from that game to make a weird almost sequel to SAO, they couldn't find a list of player killers to bring in for...something? Like, telling them that they all ACTUALLY killed people and told them what's what?
Even IF there was a technical legal loop-hole there should've been some massive psychological treatment for them.

Crocodile's weakness in one piece doesn't jive for so many reasons. For one, Luffy's hands are just about as wet as they would be sweaty, and surely in a hot desert someone sweaty has hit Crocodile before. Not to mention the whole dehydration of his enemies bit. Where'd the water go? Presumably into Crocodile's sand, which is his weakness.

Honestly I just tried to watch SAO again, and it is still just painful to watch. Everything about it is so god damned cliched it is just a constant cringe-fest.
The new Berserk series is pretty decent. Can't believe that they chose to do this horrendous CGI nonsense, but that aside it's pretty fun.

He can absorb moisture solely through his hand, his body however just gets all sloppy. My theory is that using the dehydration part of it takes a lot of concentration and can only focus it through his hand.
Why do people use that kind of crap CGI with not-robots or drift racing, IT DOESN'T WORK!

Okay, I mentioned I was watching One Piece. (I should mention I watched it before through Fishman island, so this is a rewatch, and I skipped boring arcs this time). I don't get how we're supposed to take a couple of Zoans as a serious threat after Enel. I mean all of a sudden zoans are practically killing guys who barely broke a sweat fighting a loggia that even Oda called "especially powerful".
In manga news, Bleach finally ended this week.
According to most long-time readers, it's a horrible final chapter and tons of plot threads were left hanging. I stopped reading it years ago but after skimming the final chapter I can kind of see why they'd be upset.

In Enel's defense, Luffy was his natural enemy as well as a combat genius. As for the Zoans, its not just their ability but the adaptive combat experience that allows them to utilize it better.

Bleach had the same problem that the Rumiko Takahashi (Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha) mangas/animes had... these stories were not designed to actually end or ever wrap up any plot threads, merely to always escalate to keep more and more readers/viewers hooked and invested for as long as possible. Ranma fooled me from start to (lack of) finish, It took me until Season 6 of Inuyasha to realize it (and then they had to go and make "The Final Act" just to deconstruct it), but I recognized the same thing from bleach by the beginning of the Hueco Mundo arc - although I found the Soul Society arc to be pretty freakin tedious to tell you the truth. The "Substitute" arc (the first season) I thought was interesting and really set the series up for some good potential, and then they went to the soul society and everything got retarded.
The thing is, the Substitute arc had a COMPLETELY different feel to it than the Soul Society and everything after. It's like they realized it was popular and instead of writing a definitive end, they just made everything after exactly the same for... what, 7 seasons?

Yeah, that's why I liked the substitute arc and then wasted the next six seasons waiting for it to get good again before I gave up.[DOUBLEPOST=1471540039,1471539892][/DOUBLEPOST]I've learned my lesson. I don't watch animes that are still in progress anymore, nor any Anime that runs longer than 3 seasons, unless I have heard from several sources that they're extraordinary to epic proportions (IE: One Punch Man). I want my stories to have a beginning, a middle, and an END.
What gets me is that Karakura Town obviously has no Department of Family Services. A bunch of teenagers routinely go missing for months to train their supernatural powers, and no one bats a fucking eye. "Oh, you're back now, with a thousand yard stare and weird sword scars. Well, time for math."
Also it was annoying to have some of those character designs in a PG series.

I've been reading it, and I'd agree with this. But at this point, I just wanted to see it done.
Where as I am still reading One Piece, and still enjoy the adventure! Although...I will admit the show slows it down needlessly, not the filler stories I LOVE the filler stories, but the actual plot.
