You mean the series that I've already been watching for quite awhile, even when it was still a manga? Yes I've watched it, and yes it was brutally awesome as a drama. I've already put it up with my Ghibli collection of movies for best anime movie.

as a drama? you mean the original wasn't dramatic in any way?

Well of course it's a drama, I only meant that the movie was placed with other movies in the list. Though the manga was pretty heart wrenching at times, it isn't the best out there.

On a side note; the 13th is my birthday, and guess who's invited.

well fuck... now I gotta figure out and buy/make a present...

Nah it's cool, I have so much stuff that I could literally swim in all of it if I wanted to. Adding clutter to the clutter monster would be a bad idea. In fact I can't even think of anything that I'd want, let alone need. But I was thinking that maybe we could just hang or something.

Yes, but you've literally given me a few hundred dollars worth of stuff in just the past few months. Kinda makes me feel bad that there isn't much I can do in return...

Well, there is a saying out there that giving a gift is a gift in it's own right. Besides, I look at it this way: When someone is in a position to help someone out, then they should. Most of that stuff I wasn't going to use anyways, and you could easily use them. But if you really want to give me something, then hand me the finished copy of that resume! And if that fails, then some booze would do just fine.

Oh yeah, you're turning 19 aren't you? ... I might be able to get you some vodka spritz...

Yay Booze!

Nah, I'm not into board games, and if I tired my hand at some of the video games I'd feel like a total noob. Besides, I have some things I need to do today, like picking up some parts for my computer and going to my martial arts lesson. But I am going to Tsukino-con

I see. On a side note: SHUT UP AND SIGN THIS PETITION FOR THE GREAT GODDESS MADOKA!!! www.change.org/petitions/international-astronomical-union-change-the-official-name-of-nebula-ngc-6357-to-the-madokami-nebula

No, that looks like a Dragon guarding a fire diamond . So, no. On a side note, is you're pike ready for some bloody mayhem? Because my Cross Bow is telling me to kill a king or two.

You only say that because you haven't watched Madoka yet.

I've been busy watching Baccano. Just finished... Unfortunately it's as I feared: it seems all the hype I heard for it may have ruined the experience for me. I actually liked Durarara more. I'll still read the Light novels... eventually. My favorite characters were Claire Stanfield, Graham Specter, Jacuzzi Splot (No idea why, I just like him... even if he is a whiny bitch), Czeslaw Meyer, and Isaac Dian.

Yeah, Isaac and Miria are my favorites along with Ladd Russo, Vino (Claire), and Graham Specter. The light novels are like most, they exceed the anime by far. Also, the light novels are still going. And if you went into it with the hype, then I can understand. When I first watched it, it was on a whim since I just skimmed over the bio on Anime News Network a few years back, and saw that there were Immortals in it. That, and I love any kind of historical novel/game/anime/movie/ect. So I also enjoyed it for the 1930's era about it.

All the hype may have been one of the reasons why I was avoiding watching it... I can't even count how many times I've been told "Watch Baccano, It's amazing! It's the best anime ever! You'll love it!"... the worst one that probably ruined the series for me was "You would fit right in as one of the characters!", which gave me a very unique expectation for this series... nontheless, i saw where he was coming from, but it was still disappointing...

You're looking at this totally the wrong way. If you watched it because of what the others said, expected it to be like that without clearing you're perspective first, and judging it before you started will of course ruin the show for you. Same thing goes for just about anything really. And when you compare it to the majority of anime, then it stands out, not because of what others say about it, but for what it is. And sometimes it takes more than one time to watch to get everything, since the show goes back and forth between five different years. Kind of like Pulp Fiction (not an anime, but still you should watch it!). So the next time that you see it, try not to go in with a preconceived notion of what its all about.

I watched all the latest episodes of Maoyuu Maou Yuusha, and even got around to watching all the current episodes of Hellsing: The Dawn. Saasami-san@ganbaranai seems like something to be prepared for (it seems too fast paced for my tastes, kind of like Nisemonotagari), and Ore no Kanojo to Osananajimi ga Shuraba Sugiru is a harem so I won't watch that one.

Also here's a list of manga/anime that you should watch: Pumpkin Scissors (The manga has started up again, not sure if the anime will follow), Centaur no Nayami (its essentially a school for cenatuars, cupids, demons, angels, and other mythological creatures in a slice of life sort of way), and Kyoukai Senjou no Rinbo (About the life of a Human/Elf hybrid outcast that moves to a city full of hybrids, another slice of life.)

Pumpkin scissors is queued on my list, no need to keep reminding me. When I say I'm gonna watch or read something, I'm gonna watch/read them... unlike someone.
I've already Centaur no Nayami. "I was confessed to: hurry and look at my crotch to see if I'm strange!" XD
Kyoukai Senjou no Rinbo I may have read already, but I'm not sure. If not, it's now on my list.

The first 2 episodes of Ore no Kanojo don't have any harem aspects, but do have plenty of troll.

*many

You just don't get it do you. When I see one guy and 3< girls, I feel an intense anger. This isn't jealousy or anything like that, more like, I feel that they're scum. And it doesn't help that they've started to corrupt series that I would normally love: An anime about comedy and daily life, Slap some titties and eechi scenes in there! An adventure to save the world from utter destruction: make it a harem! Zombie Apocalypse done right: Make it so that we see more cleavage than zombie heads exploding! I'm mad at anything like this.

There's only 2 girls so far (and only 1 of them is actually interested in the main character), and there aren't any ecchi scenes so far. One commando skirt-lift that you don't see anything: and that's it.

Give it time.

Oh I know there are gonna be more girls, they are in the OP. but they aren't in the first 3 episodes, and the first 2 episodes just plain don't have much (if any) romance. Just trolling and hilarity.

Well, on a side note, I'm gathering my parts for my Tsukino-con cosplay. I'm going at this little fella right here. I have the boots, gloves, and the shemagh. I've located other parts like the vest, pants, and knee guards.

nice. I guess I should try finding the missing pieces of my cosplay as well...

You could go as the Undertake from Kuroshitsuji.

That was the plan. what I wore at halloween was the incomplete prototype.

Yeah, you need to acquire roughly 20% more swagger.

An Alien Brain Hemorrhage should handle that nicely. XD

Well, here's to getting pissed drunk.

Drunk, in cosplay, at a convention, surrounded by girls in cosplay, playing D&D, and singing Ringo Biyori at the top of my lungs. Sounds like a damn good party to me.

Sounds just like any other Tuesday night to me.

Traps don't count, even if they may be slightly better. and I know you don't play D&D.

True enough, we play TF2 on Tuesdays, we call them TFTuesdays. D&D are on Fridays.

The day that PC games can keep up with my current dreams, I will have far surpassed the limits of every void ever to not exist.

Bah, PC games are limited by petty things such as "Physics Engines", "Controls", "Logic", "Laws", "Programming", "File Size", and much more. Meanwhile in Tabletop RPGs, I raped a goddess who appeared before me to give me her divine blessing, broke her mind, and kept her as an overpowered familiar/pet for the rest of the game. I then proceeded to usurp her power, and break reality thusly. Let's see any PC games do that without it being scripted into the game! Tabletop RPGs are infinitely variable, computer games are not.

True enough, games can't do that...yet. But give it time and we will exceed you're wildest dreams! (Note:That might take awhile considering that you're dreams might not be compatible with Human understanding or comprehension)

Getting me all excited like that, here I thought you finally joined the Tabletop RPG Master Race. I was hoping I finally found a new D&D group to play with.

PC master Race. You peasant table tops can cower in our glorious superiority!

Wait... do you ACTUALLY play D&D on Fridays?

No.

Yeah, they ruined it. There was never any ecchi in any of the manga, and it ether was ether comedy, or economics and bad assed fights.

Well, we can't tell quite yet. Boobs jiggling aren't so much Ecchi as much as a habit for ARMS anime. We'll be able to tell in the later episodes...

I will guarantee you that there will be more scenes like the one in the gif. That's just how most anime are rolling these days.

I will be tempted to kill the entirety of ARMS if they go further than just jiggling.

I'd say to give it a shot. Drifters isn't all that bad of a manga, and it's one of the few that I actually like. Though, I will say this: Don't hold your breath for it to come out soon, I waited several years for Hellsing Ultimate to come out, and that was after I saw a sneak preview like the one for Drifters.

P.S. How was the holidays?

Good I guess. I saw that you're going into welding? What spurred that idea?

I just need a career right now, and I'm pretty good with machinery. That, and most of my other plans fell apart.

Well, good luck to you. I actually know how to arc-weld and gas-weld pretty well. As long as you're generally patient and can pay attention, it's not hard.

I've already done four years of wood work, one year of art metal were I did welding, one year of basic mechanics, and one year of industrial design...I think I can handle this course.

Well That's good. I have a lot of random skills classes under my belt, and I still haven't got a clue what I wanna do...
1 semester Woodworking
2 semesters Metalworking
2 semesters Electronics
1 semester Metal fabrication/Art-metal (I did Art-metal as bonus in the same class because I was always a fair ways ahead of everyone else... and I still had extra time to try forging random shit: like my attempted knife...)
1 semester Mechanics/Auto
2 semesters Media Arts
2 semesters Art
1 semester Information Technology
0.5 semesters Teaching Information Technology (Mr. Poy practically handed the damn class over to me when I was his TA...)
2 semesters Computer Programming
2 semesters Foods
2 semesters French
3 semesters Japanese

Bullshit! That would have been 12 years worth! And even if you say that it had been in terms (1/4 of a year) where the hell are the English, math, science, and social studies.

I wasn't just talking Highschool... and you can have 4 classes a semester, so that actually adds up to ~ 3.25 years.

Bro, do you even math? By your reasoning that would still be six years. And my point of where the hell are the other courses that you actually need to graduate like English still stands. Also, this would be counting middle school.

Hold on, I'm tired. let me recount.

(24 (all the classes added up, counting the 0.5 as 1) / 4 (Classes per semester)) / 2 (semesters per year) = 3

I'm sorry, am I missing something here?

Yeah, you didn't do all this courses all in a row. And Vic high would only allow you to have a few electives per year. (e.g. 4 electives). You have just listed 24 electives. Now you may say that you could do seven electives in grade 12, but as you go back in grades you get less and less electives. Grade 9 only has one or 2 at most.

? That's odd...
1 semester Woodworking (Middle)
2 semesters Metalworking (Middle)
2 semesters Electronics (High)
1 semester Metal fabrication/Art-metal (High)
1 semester Mechanics/Auto (High)
2 semesters Media Arts (Middle)
2 semesters Art (Middle)
3 semester Information Technology (2 Middle, 1 High)
0.5 semesters Teaching Information Technology (High)
2 semesters Computer Programming (High)
2 semesters Foods (1 Middle, 1 High)
2 semesters French (Middle)
3 semesters Japanese (High)
that's how I remember which school the classes were taken in... maybe I'm remembering some classes twice? Now that I think of it, I think I may have only had 1 french class, and I switched out the 2nd one for another class after a week?

Fuck it, i don't feel like thinking all this shit through. So here is the list of the variety of classes I know for a fact I've taken, without any numbers:
Woodworking
Metalworking
Electronics
Metal fabrication/Art-metal
Mechanics/Auto
Media Arts
Art
Information Technology
Teaching Information Technology
Computer Programming
Foods
French
Japanese
English
Social Studies
Science
Chemistry
Math
Math Applications
Pre-Calculus
Planning
Career Prep

Dude, why are we even arguing about this in the first place? I just looked back up the list of comments, and it seems silly that we even got into this in the first place.

Thus is the result of use trying to talk normally while tired.

I should probably get some breakfast...

oops:
3 semesters Information Technology

Well, there is a way you can get that; You go to your bank, and order a Debit-Credit Card hybrid. It's essentially a debit card with a credit card number, so you can do stuff like ordering online while not having to worry about the hassles of a credit card since it works like a debit card.

Also, there's a manga that you might like called RYUU WA TASOGARE NO YUME O MIRU, it's about this genetic experiment to bring back dragons with a sample of it's flesh frozen in permafrost and combined with a bit of human DNA. And at the same time, there's this race of beast-men that predate humans by several thousand years called Dicapay that hunt us.

I already know I can do that... but I need a bank account first...

and I'll check it out... eventually.

Look, it isn't hard to make an account, and it only takes maybe a few minutes. Then just put some money into it, even if it's ten dollars. Then you can make those orders. Plus, if you don't have a bank account you can't get a job, since you need a place to put it into.

fair enough.

Yeah, that series got axed. This happens in manga a lot, especially if the publishers don't think it can make enough money. You'd be lucky enough sometimes if they even tried to wrap everything up, but they rushed endings are never any good.

Whoa there Speedy Gonzales, how'd you reply so fast!?

I know right. I sometimes think that I reply too fast.

Oh, and have you heard about a manga called SHUUMATSU NO LAUGHTER? It's all about this demon trying to eat other demons, it's not all that bad. And Onepunch-man also had a little mini chapter.

I just read Shuumatsu no Laughter, not bad. I wasn't expecting the kid to be the demon.

I know, but it makes sense if you want to fool someone like in that fight. And I mean come on, who would believe that little kid was a demon that could literally devour the world?

True. Btw, I know you said you don't read manhwa much, but have you read "Geukji High" (aka: "Special Martial Arts Extreme Hell Private High School")? It is the most random thing you will ever read... no joke: the main character's "Killer Move" is called "Buddah's Nipples". and his main attack is a finger-gun that uses a horny cat humping the main character (again, no joke) as ammo/energy/amplifier/etc.

I have...it made me rethink what it means to be random. Also I've been playing Far Cry 3 a lot recently, and there's these lines of dialog that some of the bad guys say where they debate hentai tentacle porn. My sides cracked when i first herd this.

lol

No to both of those. This whole week end I've been watching Adventure Time and playing Planetside 2...that and I sleep half the day. But I have some news for you; Drifters has two new chapters, and you really need to watch this:
www.youtube.com/watch?v=yysbbPStfWw&feature=BFa&list=LLtG2ZeY96pgkkY-98XT8wgQ
It's the Bollywood Terminator!

I read both those chapters of drifters at least a few days ago. unless even more came out?

and I was laughing like crazy through that whole video. XD The director has some serious ADHD.

There are quite a few things wrong with that list.
-A motherboard comes WITH a CPU chip, and if you need to you can swap it out for better a one.
-A mother board also already comes with RAM cards.
-You only need speakers if you want them, you can just use the headphones you already have.
-You don't need Wi-Fi, you only need that if you can't connect to a internet cable.
-Most Power Supply's come with a built in Surge protector (if they don't, NEVER use it)
-A mother board already comes with USB ports, those other ones are extras.
-A network interface card again may not be needed depending on the mother board.
-Sound cards are an extra, most mother boards come with one installed, people just buy better ones if they use their computer for Music or Intense video gaming. Some headphones come with built in sound cards as well.
-ATX is also just a brand, any case will do, since what's most important in the case are the racks to place the parts and size.

alright, that's good to know. btw, have you ever made your own comp? if so, once I get all the parts together, I might need your help putting it together...

I wouldn't say that I've made my own computer, so much as the computer that I have right now has had it's parts exchanged and modified several times. This computer has been around for five years, and there isn't much from when I first got it.

Close enough.

I'm making a pic, and got distracted

Not bad for a cosplay I must say. But one thing, OH MY GOD YOU SHAVED?! I thought that you were going for the whole wizard beard thing? Anyway, I just finished watching Iron Sky, and for most of the movie I was laughing my ass off. But I'd say that ti's actually better than some of the movies that get churned our of Hollywood every year. And for Tsukino con, I was planning on going as the sniper from battlefield three with as much realism as I can.

Cosplay > Wizard Beard

I can grow a beard at any time, I have limited opportunities to cosplay. Plus, now I'm all shaved up for "No-Shave November".

Also you should listen to this.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=tqEVCTMkBnI&list=LLtG2ZeY96pgkkY-98XT8wgQ&feature=mh_lolz

I've known about that song for months...

Really now...I was under the impression that it only came out a few days ago.

I watched it the day it came out on escapistmagazine.com, that's why. What you watched was a remake (the same song, but an updated video showcasing some mods).

But "No-shave November" is every month for me...and I still don't have nay real hair...

That's not bad at all, it's actually pretty good compared to your old connection. And here's a haunted bowling ball as a gift, may it's evil spirits guide you.

Also, since it's your Birthday tomorrow, what where you planning on doing?

I'm going out to dinner with the rest of the family today, and I'm not planning on doing much tomorrow (except check out a sword-shop downtown, but I can do that at any time really)... why?

Nah, I was just wondering if you wanted to hang out. I mean, it IS your birthday after all.

Depends on what you're thinking of doing.

Also, you have some epic timing there, I JUST got home from dinner.

I'm part psychic. And you just said that you would like to go and look at some swords, so we could do that. Or we could just get some pie.

Oh, and have you watched "My Little Monster/ Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun" It's pretty good.

you aren't replying to the IMs even though FJ says you're online... anyway, we forgot to make actual plans for tomorrow, and now it's time for bed...

Yeah, I'm busy until 2:00pm with school. But we can meet up after that. And my Karate lesson starts at 6:00pm. So we can hang out in between then.

Are you taking classes at SJ Willis? I vaguely remember you saying something like that, but I can't find where... If you are taking classes there, we might be able to meet up there since it's close. or, we could meet downtown if that isn't the right school (or you didn't have time to reply to this before 2)... If we're gonna meet downtown, let's meet around 3 in front of Shoppers Drug Mart downtown.

All right, see you then.

Downtown I'm assuming?

Sure, that works.

kk, see you then.

I've been reading the manga for a while now.

And we shall feast upon the pie of true men: Sword Pie with Iron-sand crust.

Well, I never heard of this happening...but then again, I rarely ever leave my home.

Me neither. I randomly heard of it on the radio... Not as many people showed up as I thought there would. It was shown on CTV... you could barely see me way in the back for about 3 seconds in a black hoody... >.< Well, that's my fault for staying near the bench I was sitting at, rather than going up to the stage.

By the way, there's two interesting things going on in the world that you might want to see. I'll give you the links.

I'm not going to college right now, I need to bump up my English for that, which I will do. Also, to turn this around, y u no go on steam?

only steam game I have is Portal, didn't feel like playing it... though, now that you're back: this is a good opportunity to finish up the co-op. Wanna try doing it tomorrow around noon-ish?

Nah, I have a dentist appointment. Maybe later in the afternoon though, then we can make some science!

alright. Would around 2-3 be fine then?

I don't know...I'll have to consult my busy schedule to see if there is a space...hang on a sec...I think I might be able to fit you in between my teeth being pulled, and absolutely fuck all nothing. And good new! It's at exactly from 2 on words.

You're getting your teeth pulled? Why?

No I was just joking, it was just a check up.

There goes my toothless-bald guy jokes... Well, you have lost enough hair to afford keeping a few teeth. XD

since you're on here, does that mean your appointment's already done? or has it not happened yet?

Yeah it's done, oh, and another thing. I don't really want to have these chats on my fj profile. It kind of clogs it up with non fj stuff. Instead we should use the steam chat.

I'm usually on my mac, not my mom's laptop: that's why. This comp can't handle steam.

Wait...I thought that steam was Mac friendly? And even if it was an old clunker, you don't have to play any kind of games on the Mac, we could just use ti for the chat. And before you say it, yes I know that FJ has a chat feature, but it sucks. Maybe you can get Skype on it instead?

Steam is mac friendly, but it's not PPC friendly. Due to my mac having a PPC G5 Processor chip, programs like Steam don't work on it. I can't even update flashplayer on this damn thing, let alone steam.

Yeah, I'm back. Oh and before I forget, I got you that Zulu shield that you wanted.

nice. Though, i had no idea what a Zulu Shield even was until you said you were gonna get one as a souvenir... they look pretty sweet though!

Damn, and here I brought my shotty for nothing... well, time to give up and go home, the sign told me not to.
