Finished Kyoukai no Kanata / Beyond the Boundary this morning.

Pretty good anime. Absolutely amazing animation thanks to KyoAni, and I got pretty attached to Kuriyama Mirai and the rest of the cast. Some really confusing events that don't get explained in the end, not exactly intellectual in writing, and some arcs occur at lightning speed, but all in all very enjoyable.

Now to wait for the sequel movie to come out on Blu-ray.

 

fairy tail zero was pretty alright. i wish we got more stuff like this in ft where mashima actually... tries. everything post magic games has been painfully generic or bad.

 

I recommend checking out the Indoctrination Theory! I don't have strong feelings for or against it, but I think it at the very least raises interesting points regarding

Spoiler: ME3 Ending

Starchild as an unreliable source of information -- because choosing an ending hinges on believing everything he says exactly as he says it, but because we don't know who created him, it's very possible they had some sort of agenda and programmed Starchild with that in mind. I mean, Starchild is clearly linked to the Reapers somrhow, and therefore wouldn't want you to select Destroy -- therefore, he'd create reasons to dissuade you from it (I personally like to think enough Geth and EDI tech remained to allow rebuilding). The Control ending seems like a trick, because Shep disintegrates like immediately after jumping into the beam, and Synthesis is just weird.

Overall it's pretty conspiracy & reaching but still an interesting view imo. Creates some food for thought at least. Starchild is an awful, lazy plot device in an otherwise decent game (ME3 has its faults, like Kai Leng and the lack of meaningful squad/Shep interaction, but it doesn't truly go belly up imo until the very end).

Also if you want to know more about the Reapers, check out the Leviathan DLC! Even if you just watch a playthrough on YouTube or something (ME DLC is ****ing expensive). It goes to a lot of lore surrounding Indoctrination and the origins of the Reapers.

 

I really really want the DLC but EA never discounts any of it...

 

Oh god, the ME DLC is incredible and I absolutely don't regret getting any of it.

I'm Commander Shepard and Citadel is my favorite DLC on the Citadel

 

It's just ridiculous that one piece of DLC costs as much or more than the TRILOGY cost me.

 

I was lucky in that the trilogy came with the majority of ME2 DLC (I think everything but Arrival, which I'm told is pretty weak compared to the others). The trilogy was also a gift someone bought me so i didn't mind paying a little for DLC seeing as the game was free. All the DLC I've played for ME is top quality, honestly some of my favorite missions in the series, but you're right that they could seriously use a price reduction given how cheap the actual games are now. It's a big reason I want a trilogy collection to release on the current gen because I'd hope they would bundle the DLC. It'd make suggesting the games to friends way easier for me, because I don't have to tell them "yeah the games are like $20 max but be prepared to buy $80 worth of DLC."

 

♛ Exhibiting hardcore withdrawls since Raff/Mangalator went down 5 days ago. I miss all of my immediate updates and cannot wait for proper translation releases on MangaHere. // wheezes //

 

On PC, there isn't inclusion of Lair of the Shadow Broker.

YOU KNOW, THE BEST DLC FOR MASS EFFECT 2.

For shame, EA.

 

Not that I know of. I think it's finished.

 

i use mangareader. its pretty cool.

im at that point of being sick of traveling where i look at other cars and stuff and imagine what they would transform into in a desperate effort to keep sane

 

Shame and EA kind of go hand in hand.

 

Nah, for me, that belongs to Konami and WB more than ever.

Like, EA isn't even trying to be scum these days. It feels accidental if anything.

 

Accidental scum is still scum tho. I can appreciate effort, but at the end of the day it's the quality of the product that matters.

 

Which is why I don't find much hate for EA anymore. At least their PC ports are good. At least they didn't kill off my favorite horror series of all time and prevent the development of what could have been a dream game for me and YEAH MY BIAS IS POURING OUT

 

I have no problems with someone being biased.

 

Watched the rematch Death Battle of Goku and Superman.

And once again called the result.

People still complained. Called that too.

Sigh I'm so tired of this debate.

Great new character models though for ScrewAttack.

 

I didn't even need to read the comments to know what they were going to be:


People just can't accept that Superman far outclasses Goku.

 

I love these pages.

"Wise words from a former cellmate of mine."
I see what you did there, Dr. Valek. I'm going to murder you in your sleep for that one.

All it does it imply that Eichen House moved Peter to a different cell. And I know Ian Bohen was directing The Tow when these were filmed.

And I am actually enjoying Valek but the third eye in the middle of his forehead is still distracting. I think it's the accent.

ETA:
...
Wow, that was quick. Start to like the guy and then he may or may not be dead. Right.
