Why even preordered if you don't get anything special? I preorder physical special editions or games I see a launch day benefit from, like a large player pool for matchmaking.

 

Exactly what I was thinking, though honestly I now generally wait for a game to be a little cheaper. Same content, just a little later. I mean, like you pointed out, getting a game at its release will lend a larger player pool, but that only matters for me in fighting or shooting games, neither of which I buy many of each year.

 

well with that the breaking bad binge is over. sundays just became exponentially less meaningful.
lets do another

arrow season 3 - excited for so many reasons (ras and awesome looking arsenal. like holy **** i can't even deal with that)
the flash - one of the most significant superhero shows in the past decade. looks like everything i ever wanted minus a good costume.
gotham - sucks but will hopefully get better
shield - not a huge fan but cool nonetheless
constantine - will check out
g-reco - new gundam show that looks good for a change. and mmmm that 80s style.
gbf try - TWO GUNDAM SHOWS AT ONCE WTFF
and some other animes i'm trying.
we are being so spoiled with entertainment this fall. somewhere in space some stars aligned or something i dont know.

guysguysguys I'm about to finish the Soul Eater manga, and to anyone who only watched the anime and was disappointed, please, PLEASE read the manga. It gets so crazy and so fun, I can't stand to not be reading it right now. Without giving anything away, if you like Gurren Lagann and how absurd things got by the end, you need to read this. It's so much fun. Also, I don't think people give SE enough credit for how surprisingly well it's done. It's a pretty solid story with interesting ideas and not-so-disappointing character arcs that you could miss if you did not read the whole thing or only watched the show (I don't know, haven't seen it.). I posted something when I started last week saying how it felt weird, like it was a rough draft or something else I couldn't articulate, but I now realize that there's a progression happening and that it's a more intimate story than other manga I've read that try to do too many things or not focus on an actual story. All of the story arcs in Soul Eater are building to a place with things seeded in each arc, while the stakes get increasingly more insane (pfft) as it goes. It's great stuff that I was not even kinda expecting given SE's reputation. I'm not saying that it's like a masterpiece or that it's this thought-provoking intellectual story or something, the things I mentioned are things that should be in any long-form story, but I do think it's underrated and if you like GL you should try reading the manga.

 

I've only seen the anime, but my boyfriend has read the entire manga and also thought the manga was by far superior to the anime. I have plans to read it eventually, I just haven't gotten around to it. He has explained a lot of what happens in it though, so I already know most [ if not all ] of the major plot points that aren't covered in the anime or that are done differently.

Glad you enjoyed it. I really like Soul Eater.
