I know it's just winter season, but how can so many people watch Bake/Nisemonogatari or anything with such obnoxious characters?

U gay or something?

A LN was written to sell BDs? How does that even work?

>>40837
The LN was ever supposed to be published, it was Nisioisin fanwanking his own character for his own amusement.
Shaft took that 'plot' and made it visual, so we have a show that exists purely of all the female character whoring themselves around and generally throwing their scantily-clad selves at the protag.
This show was not produced to tell a great story, it's the anime equivalent of a high-budget French erotica film.

I wonder if the second volume will sell even more?

I always thought Shizuha feels more like a little sister.

These are some pretty unconventional teams.

Team Fluffy tail:
Ran, Momiji, Mamizou

Nekomimi Mode:
Chen, Orin

Diablo 3 is pretty good. I like the new skill system. It seems rather elegant. I miss my necro though. I've got some guest pass thingies if anybody's curious.

Anyone else excited about Lollipop Chainsaw? After I found out that you can unlock all the costumes but three by just playing the game I decided to get it as quickly as possible. However, I hope it's going to be sold at a lower price than usual ($100), because I really don't want to spend all that money on it. I almost never buy games new nowadays.

Put in my £5 deposit for Lollipop today, and the cute girl behind the counter told me that I will get stuff for free. Hurray for Gaystop?

Also, they had a used Vita for £200 with (probably) no games. I want it. But I shouldn't. I really shouldn't. But I want it. But I have a PSP. And so many games yet to play.

I have applied your tips and got awesome results. Thanks a lot.

Some Very Nice Online Business Tips To Help You Get Started

Have you decided to produce a house business enterprise? It's a wonderful thing to do because you'll have the capacity to do something you like and not have to worry about planning to a workplace. Always bear in mind that it's a genuine business, though. You can keep your home-based business enterprise stress-free, by preparing yourself to run it right.

Save gas receipts and document mileage if your home-based business involves any driving while you are working. Any organization related travel expenses could be claimed at tax time. You'll have to be able to prove which it was required to drive to the business to thrive.

You should visit any limit when you find yourself trying to make your customers satisfied. Always use the extra step. Include freebies making use of their order. Alternatively, include a letter thanking them for his or her business. A couple of things that customers like are appreciation and free things. Suggest to them that you'll go far above to keep them happy.

One reaction you can have to create money from your own home would be to give people lessons about the things you're able to perform. A lot of people love to take private lessons as an alternative to going to a school which costs more and possesses strict schedules. It is possible to teach piano or guitar. Alternatively, hobbies like knitting. Perhaps you are a sharp photographer. Teaching will make you money.

There's not enough anything to warrant a second season considering it sold 600 BDs.

Thank god.

Only good thing about the show is Mei.
It is a terrible show.
There are better show out there if all I want to see is just people dying.

>>40258
Ano Natsu made me set my suspension of disbelief pretty high pretty early on so I can't say I found any of the later developments "cringe-worthy." They were fun. I grinned like a mother fucker when the MIB showed up.

>There are better show out there if all I want to see is just people dying.
Are you sure about that? Another did the "people dying in hilarious ways" thing quite well.

I don't fully understand the concept of favorite bishoujo. Do you guys imagine and project yourselves interacting with them? I mean, I have a favorite 2d girl too, but I don't insert myself into any fantasies regarding her or anything like that. That just seems... silly, somehow.

>>39692
I'd love to become a little girl and have a chat over a cup of tea with my favourite 2D girls.

Wait, did posts here get deleted?
I think deleting posts is harmful to a community unless said posts are spam or harmful themselves!

>>39703
They weren't discussing favorite bishoujos, so they went home.

I'm surprised that so many like these touhou fighters. I wanted to learn how to play it once, but these "cards" were pretty annoying.
Instead i'm a huge fan of the photo games now.

i try to play it again, but between jagged alliance : BIA, and my japanese lesson i don't have the time to play it

>>39530
Currently trying to 1CC UFO. But I'm not really enthusiastic about it. Playing like one run every other day.

>>39581
Yeah Im kinda like that, as in just do a run or 2 then stop. Im not that great at just playing it over and over.

I haven't played a Touhou game in several months now. Dunno why, they just don't give me the same satisfaction as before. Maybe it's because of what the OP said, it gets dull after awhile.

>>39573
Yeah, me too. Those were the only ones I actually enjoyed playing right before I stopped playing altogether.

I hope this is on-topic.

Is it in any way a good idea to buy musical instruments online? Specifically, I'm thinking of buying a new guitar and amp, but due to... circumstances, I wish to avoid going to the store if possible.

So is it a good idea to make a purchase online without first having a feel for the wood and material, checking the tone, sustain, etc? Will reading online reviews alone be a good enough basis to make an informed decision?

>>39003

I buy all my instruments online and have never had a problem. Usually I'll just check out a few youtube videos of the product I'm interested in, and look up a couple of forum threads to see if there are any outstanding quality control issues.

I'm usually very happy with my purchases, but then again I'm not particularly picky about my instruments. In a couple of years' time I plan to order myself a custom-made bass guitar and that'll be online-only as well.

>>39003
If possible, I would suggest on trying out the instrument at a local store before ordering it online.

It is very important to be able to try an instrument before deciding on a purchase. Buying online is fine but only if there is a flexible return policy.

I'm guessing Zun sheds a tear each time he sees a shitty western Touhou cosplayer.

Sounds sweet, where can I join?

I actually agreed with your points a few weeks ago, but after re-watching the series in anticipation for the finale, I've since changed my mind. The whole progression of the show in a fairy tale like sense puts the weird pacing into perspective imo. And far from "overstaying her welcome", there are only 4 really important characters in the show and Ringo is one of them. Understanding her, and her interactions with the Takakuras is pretty important to understanding the message of the show.

As for the point on symbolism, I am not going defend it and say "Well that's just how Ikuhara is". However I really don't think it was all that overblown. People can read into the show as much as they want and probably find evidence of anything. But with the exception of a few episodes, the presentation was very straightforward, and the symbolism wasn't terribly important, at least not until the end.

Anyway, I haven't slept for quite a while now and I'm just rambling, so if any of this sounds off to you please forgive (｀・ω・´)

>>38389
Because autism.

So, I finally finished Pingdrum. I think it's my favourite show that's aired since Tatami Galaxy. As some have pointed out, the symbolism got a little overwhelming at times, but it's all good. I enjoy tearing up shows and poke about the inside. And it's more fun to find too much than nothing at all. Other than that the 90's throwback style was pretty cool, it had excellent scene composition and art and also something close to flawless foreshadowing.

Im@s was alright I guess. A little disappointed the last episode was just a giant sakuga-splurge. But kudos for well-executed drama in a slice-of-life. In retrospective, I wish the series had been darker. Oh well.

I wanted more symbolism in Penguindrum. Something like Utena.

Bet I am gonna get flamed for it but I wasn't impressed with penguindrum. I actually love the first part of it when we were slowly given their tiny backstory bits by bits with flashback. Especiallynthe episode about sergeant frog.
The second part, not so much. Too magical for my taste. Symbolism for the sake of symbolism when he should have just kept it simple.
It was still a solid 6/10 though.

>>38295
I know it's not Shakespeare or anything, but I don't think you're giving the story enough credit. I was highly sceptical of the whole 'story-driven' angle they were going for, but have been surprised by how well it works. It really feels like you're playing a new KOTOR game rather than some generic WoW-clone; little things like how all of the KILL X MOBS quests are now bonus missions rather than NPC-given quests, the way they've handled companions and the implementation of the dialogue wheel make the game feel far less like an MMO than I thought possible.

>>38298
I'm not saying it is bad or anything, don't get me wrong, I am enjoying it. But I mean, WoW is a 7 year old game, maybe I'm being naive, but I was hoping for a little more evolution on the genre.

>>38309
MMOs evolve in the same way as genres such as fighters, racers, VNs and sports games. That is to say, they don't.

>>38309
If you want evolution, hold out for GW2. In the meantime, TERA might come out so we can all be elin lolis with uguu baraka.

>>38312
MMORPGs have devolved so that every casual can have fun without putting in the effort of an actual person.

>>38321
I must be pretty casual then, because I'm loving the shit out of TOR.
