do we get to talk about j-dramas here or do i have to go to TVIV for that?

either way i just watched hanzawa naoki and it's basically the most anime live-action thing i've ever seen, it was great. watch hanzawa naoki.

I'm all for jdrama chat, but the only ones I've seen are both GTOs and legal high, all of which are good, and the GTOs I consider better than the anime. I've watched a bunch of kdramas too but the only Manhua based one I've seen was Goong which I wanna say was good, but it's also the first kdrama I ever watched so there's bias there.

Oh right, that's on my to-watch list sitting in my hard drive. Forgot about it due to being preoccupied with a bunch of anime. Both seasons of yoshihiko were good too.

I promise you won't get any bad games until the steam summer sale.

My PSN is littleorv29 if anyone wants to add me there too.

Apparently we have always been friends, since you were already on my friend list.

Well, I'm always up for more Steam friends. I haven't been playing anything on Steam lately though due to my laptop being about 5 years old.

I have more than 200 games on steam so someone would have to do a lot of scrolling to see anything embarrassing.

Same. I bought more deals than sense and I've barely touched a fraction of them. Shame since there are a couple that I would like to play, but either my laptop can't run it, or I don't feel like investing that much time into it. I say this despite investing so many hours into Dynasty Warriors.

Also just finished watching Expelled from Paradise. It was a pretty fun movie, had a cool robot, and a decent mecha fight at the end. Not a big fan of the CG animation style, though it fit the DEVA portions of the movie. I'm getting the impression Urobuchi has a bone to pick with society and its rules, based off this and his last couple works.

Expelled from Paradise is probably the most optimistic and humanist thing I've seen Urobuchi do.

I feel like he's always been optimistic. It's just his earlier stuff tends to put his characters through the wringer. But yeah, I just meant Expelled from Paradise continues from the themes he had with Psychopass and Gargantia.

The only space games I've ever really played was Descent and Wing Commander IV. At some point, someone just installed Descent on all the school computers so that was the game to play majority of the time.

The people who were initially excited (or at least around here) were fans of Urobuchi, so they were being coy about it even before the first episode despite having a p good idea that it wasn't gonna be like that.

He had only done fate/zero and saya no uta at that point right?

I don't know much about VN stuff but I wanna say he had a few other things under his belt?

Regardless the latter seemed to be the main reason why people were hyping it, if I'm remembering right.

I only found out about Madoka after the fact so was curious how many people actually knew about Urobuchi, given what he had done was pretty niche. Then again, we did have a visual novel thread at that point.

I actually played through Macross Frontier's soundtrack in the first Audiosurf, tempted to dig that up and try that again. Nyan Nyan Service Melody is practically a boss song since it's 12 minutes long.

It's been so long since I watched CB I forgot what happened between Spike and Vicious. I remember Spike was in the syndicate and was double crossed but that's it.

Love triangle with Julia. Spike and Julia planned to leave the Syndicate, which pissed Vicious off. Spike faked his death, but Julia never showed up to the rendezvous point.

All of this was only really told in snippets across the series, plus the credits so it's easy to not get the full story.
