The Lounge: Official Spamzone Community Thread

The BBC has urged everyone to avoid showing them off or spoiling, and so far anyone who's found them has kept them away from the public eye.

You can wait.​

But dude, Deep Breath is gonna be simulcast like the 50th and it's gonna be an extra long episode I AM SO EXCITED~

 

I am the biggest scumbag the only time I ever come in here is to plug the dumb shit I'm running

 

Joel Siegel said the first Pokemon movie was the worst movie of 1999. that's hilarious

and this is one of the hokiest/funniest things ever

two classy gents walking across town with friendly banter to go to the movies.
The one with Siegel is just as funny but I couldn't find it.

 

so is this last person to post 2.0 or

 

i think i want to make a makoto shinkai thread where i discuss all of his works
i know i said this about one piece and never made it but i havent given up im just lazy

I watched his first film [long title] and it's not that great; you can see where the potential lies and where there's room for improvement. I think it's far too ambitious in it's plotting and doesn't quite hit the mark on either the sci fi or the drama it wants to be because it balances the two poorly, plus there's an abundance of contrivances and conveniences and things unanswered. However, just like the rest of his works, it resonates emotionally with me so deeply that I can't help but have a certain degree of fondness for it. Makoto always captures some of the most relatable human emotions in his films in a longing for "early days" coupled with a dissatisfaction of a present, something that I can relate to on a profound level. You can see where he improved in his later films, specifically Children which, while I like Days more then Children (that fantasy feel just isn't my thing), is much more coherent in its narrative, albeit less emotionally-driven. I'm not complaining too much because I watch Makoto films expecting and wanting my emotions to be wrecked and to see breathtaking animation and he always delivers on those. I think by Garden he's struck the perfect balance of an emotionally-driven story with plotting and characters solid enough to not detract from the film (though Garden isn't as fanciful in it's concept as Days or Children), which is why it's my favorite anime.

 

so yeah, everyone is reminding me that i can't just sit at home all summer and chill and that, stressed or not, first year of college is coming and i have to do crap

i want to curl up in a ball and sit in front of my computer forever ;-;

 

All the more reasons why I need to get a job ASAP! Because my mom wants me to go to college if I don't have a job by the end of summer, and no later than the end of the year. I refuse to go to college.

 

yeah, well, i'm going either way

but then learning how to drive
ugh, i never want to leave the house

 

OKAY SO question.... is the Persona niche just seriously that there aren't many contemporary setting JRPGs? Because outside of Persona, I can't think of any. There's Persona and..... Earthbound?

No. Inherently different beats. This place is far more welcoming and doesn't lie about its existence. The intention was to create a more controller spamzone and it grew into something much more than that. It makes me happy every time I see a new post in this thread and I have in fact read them all.

Well, you get a lot more discussion than you thought. I've only ever heard of Garden, Centimeters, and that's it. I don't know jack about this guy. Feel free to educate me (don't just say GO WATCH AAAAH :P But seriously, don't. I can't watch anime for awhile :C)

 

Driving isn't that hard. You'll do fine. :)

 

Even though it isn't hard, I'm still out a vehicle because some crappy guy decided he needed to try and go around me while I was swerving instead of stopping.

 

I think you already posted about that, and I feel your pain. I haven't wrecked, but I've had numerous close calls. Idiot whackjobs don't know how to drive.

 

I mean there's not much to say. He only has 4 movies and a few shorts and miscellaneous things. Fans of his call him the "new Miyazaki" or something, a statement he finds to be an overestimation of his ability, and a statement I find to be a inaccurate assessment of his movies. I don't know much about him other than that. I kind of want to do some research on him to learn more because I like him so much, but there doesn't seem to be much to find.

 

and on a MUCH lighter note, this is one of the best covers of this song i've ever heard

 

I am having REALLY HARD TIME identifying between Makaze and Below right now, especially considering someone else has used that same avatar in the past, but the identity is escaping me.

 

Easy. Below is pink and Makaze is white.

 

that would be me

 

Would just like to aware y'all that Black Butler: Book of Circus starts airing in 2 days. Literally one of the manga's best arcs. HYPEHYPEHYPEHYPE.

 

hola, I'm new to this.
