When you said "Claims Adjusters" which was then followed in the next sentence by "A tree fell on my house", I cringed so loving hard I think I made my dogs upset.

I wouldn't wish tree law on absolutely nobody. Not even on Namtab, my mortal posting rival.

Yeah from what I heard IGLOO isn't really missing much. Thanks for reminding me about 0083, though. I'll put that in there.

Edit: re Thunderbolt fair but I love the designs so I want to watch it anyway.

Speaking as the Gundam IGLOO shoulder angel, IGLOO's not worth watching for reasons beyond 00s CG, including:

1) Dull characters!
2) Zeon Apologia!
3) And a complete waste of what could have been an entertaining premise!

Oh, we're allowed to do exchanges?


I'd like to exchange March Lion and NagiAsu for Gundam UC series up until Char's Counterattack. I've already watched the first two compilation movies of 0079 so that's:
- 3rd 0079 movie
- War in the Pocket
- 08th MS Team
- 1st Thunderbolt movie (will save the 2nd for when the 3rd comes out as advised)
- Zeta
- ZZ
- CCA
- 0083 somewhere in there

Might as well get a couple of quick ones out of the way.

0079 movie #3: Felt like it kinda sped past Lalah and her intro. Mirai's romances feels similarly rushed. Still, pretty cool to see the Zeong in action, and lol at every Zabi who died.

Thunderbolt movie #1: Fast but fun watch, great animation and soundtrack. Io Fleming keeping up the Gundam tradition of slapping women across the face. Pretty hosed up story though.

War in the Pocket next, I guess.

No such thing as a guarantee in this rotten year, but War in the Pocket is generally thought of as top tier Gundam. There's things that might not be your speed (kid protagonist who acts like a kid, fewer battles), but overall it's a really good short series with a strong conclusion.

If you're still wondering, 0083 goes right before Zeta.

War in the Pocket done. Wow, that was incredibly good but very depressing.

I'm sure that 08th MS Team will be a bucket of laughs :v:

If it was denied I'd have just taken the ban. To be honest my patience for this toxx is wearing thin and it's only my regard for the people who suggested stuff to me that's keeping me going. Don't be a fucker.

The fact that I can't travel to Japan this year after all has killed my motivation to get better at Japanese pretty hard, so I'm probably gonna fail my toxx.

Also I haven't even started Fate/Stay Night at all and keep mentally moving it behind Ever 17 in my VN backlog. I am moving into the 'acceptance' phase where i just try to find a new av for when I get inevitably banned.

In a just vision of the forums there'd be a 2020 escape clause for people overwhelmed by the pressures of this chaotic year. Unfortunately you apparently need a lawyer if you want to argue about your toxx because $10 is more important than actually enjoying this hobby

Unless Wark says otherwise, nobody's getting banned. it's understandable with the state of the world and this website why people might not be all in on these kinds of silly challenges. With that said, I'll probably just either ask y'all to make a donation to a non-profit or give you a really goofy and dumb Av. But given how much this thread has seemed to stress some people out, if someone decides to remake this thread next year I'll probably put up a no-stakes counterpart so people can set goals for themselves without stressing themselves out too much about them. This might also encourage them to be a bit more ambitious that they normally would .

There are way too many things out there that cause you stress. These challenges are to have some loving fun/try something silly.
