Next episode appears to feature Goemon.

My expectations will be tempered accordingly.

It's saving you from Goemon being boring at you.

Goemon was barely in this one so consequently I enjoyed it quite a bit.

Alternate universe Che Castro's a pretty chill guy.

Legend of the Galactic Heroes is a good show. What a surprise.

I burnt out on LOGH about episode 40-something. It was good but just so long, I have trouble watching anything with more than 20 episodes, let alone more than 100.

Burning though 400 episodes of One Piece trying to catch up before the first Pirate Warriors came out ruined me for watching long series.

LOGH is technically comprised of four smaller seasons if that helps to processes it, so you've at least three opportunities for a pit stop before the end.

Turns out the villain is just Jeff Gerstmann wearing his owl head from Persona 4.

also the problem with the ADTRW top 10 is that it just counts votes.

So for instance, if there's one kind of good anime that everyone watched, and then 3 really good anime that are niche, the one kind of good anime is gonna win.

that's pretty much what happened with part timer. it was a solid comedy that a lot of people watched and voted for. only a couple of people had it as BEST ANIME OF THE YEAR, most everyone had it like '3' or '4.'

I am not smart enough to do weighted voting for the worst anime thread, but mahouka got about twice as many votes as the second place one

1. Since when were the Italians interested in any anime?
2. Why the hell do they get first dibs on a real anime BEFORE Japan!?

A fairly simple way to weight votes would be: 1st place, 5 points; 2nd, 4; down to 5th, 1 point. If an unranked list is given, 3 points each. Throw out votes for more than 5 anims.

Are there comicons in the major cities? Are there otakus waltzing through the streets? Do good voters compare Bersculoni to PM Mori? Are there any Italian SHAFT/Madhouse fans?

Mostly Theatre of Magic and Creature from the Black Lagoon. I cannot for the life of me shoot the loving snackbar. I should probably clarify that I was playing Pinball Arcade and not physical pinball machines

I only have a few pinball arcade machines, the poo poo for that game is so damned expensive

Pinball FX 2 is still good though, and I would like to one day learn how to make my own pinball machine.

Unrelated, but i forgot how amazing the music in beyblade was

Does japan do a lot of pinball machines or is it mostly just pachinko machines there

# ? Jul 22, 2015 08:57

Sakurazuka: Jan 24, 2004; NANI?

Just pachinko I think, but that's more the equivalent of slot machines than anything.

Thanks for the recommendations, thread! Going from living alone to living with two other people in less than two years was kinda disorienting at first. The constant beard-shaming also got depressing.
