Goddamn Blast of Tempest is good. I feel like an idiot for not starting it sooner. Looked kind of generic so I skipped over it at first, but then there was a drought of titles at the end of the season and I decided to check it out. Wow. It is anything but generic. Still in the middle of the first season but I have no idea how what is going to happen. This show constantly keeps you on your toes.
This is probably the best show of last season. I can't believe I almost missed it...
Edit: Aaaand, just finished watching the second half of the first season in one sitting. I guess I'm sort of glad I waiting before starting this show, because though it takes a couple eps to get going, once you're into it every single episode ends on a friggin cliffhanger. It's extremely addictive, the kind of show you really do want to watch all at once.
But holy crap, the cliffhanger at the end of season 1 means I can't wait for season 2...
But seriously, why is it that I haven't heard any buzz about this show? Forget being my favorite show of the season, it might be my favorite show of the year. And yet nobody is talking about it...
I should probably give it a try. I read a few chapters of the manga years ago. It's by the author who did "Spiral: the bonds of reasoning" and "record of fallen vampire" so I'm a bit wary of it. Used to be a huge spiral fan but then it got crappy and had an absolutely horrible ending (I have never felt so betrayed). |

I'm not big on remakes but if there's a game that could really use one I'd say it's Xenogears. Mainly because
1) gameplay needs tweaking. you should be able to skip or speed up text speed, battles, etc. it's too slow and I think some speed up or skip options would make the game much better. this is the main thing keeping me from doing a 2nd play
2) disk 2 should be fixed. this would require a ton of new content like new towns/dungeons and stuff though.

The thing about Dark Souls boss fights is that it depends on your build and equipment a bit too much IMO. If you don't have the right equipment it makes some of the bosses absurdly hard. For example, using a heavy melee build (solo) on ornstein and smough is pretty bullshit, but if you have some decent pyromancy the fight is way easier. The start of the Capra demon fight is indeed pretty dumb.

The battle system is really good I thought. It's not especially innovative but it takes some things from other games and uses them well together to make for an enjoyable combat system. I didn't like the last dungeon because it was very generic and boring looking and didn't really have cool gimmicks or enemies either.

I just re-read Angel Densetsu; god that was good.
Although the whole cast is a giant mishmash, every character is adorable/funny/cool in a way.
I read it for the first time recently and it's really good. have you read Kyou Kara Ore Wa or Ocha Nigosu? I read the entire Kyou Kara. I know they made VHS OVAs of that one but I haven't seen those (must be hard to find them too =/) I think I'm about midway in Ocha Nigosu, but I'm not really sure what's the latest volume of that one. I've seen the first KKOW OVA and it's decent. At the time only the first episode had subs but I think the first few do now. I haven't read Ocha Nigosu in a long time cause the scanlation is so irregular and slow. I'm probably somewhere in the middle as well. I figured it's not that long of a series so I'll just wait for the rest to finish before bothering with it again. also penis monsters lol. claymore is great i've got volume 21 on it's way from amazon |

I liked the first half less the more I watched of it and I stopped watching it after episode 14 cause I figured it would get worse. Can't stand the two main characters' awful romance crap.
