So this occurred to me recently while looking through various web pages for a new pair of glasses (for various reasons). There are many ways to watch anime, play games and such but visuals alone don't provide everything we want. The sound, that's what gives the impact of the motions. But what is really the best way for us to receive this concoction of beeps and bangs? I often discuss this with a friend of mine (Yuuki_Rodasian) and we both have different views as i assume many others do. Personally I have found it best to watch using a pair of headphones, be it the cheap ones that you get with the purchase of a cellular-phone or a proper headset (I switch between the two) over watching while using the built in speakers. I am currently using the Sony Wireless 3.0 headset (build for gaming purposes). To me it feels like the headset provides more "oomph" and when they are not within my grasp and I am forced to use speakers I find it less enjoyable, almost as if watching with one eye closed or watching Dubbed series. I would like to hear what you guys think leave a comment below.

I really love that one...I'm surprised you thought you'd drop it tho.... how can anyone even think of dropping an anime with an adorable wolf girl? :3 Holo ftw!!! I thought of including that, too but I forgot later.... Although I don't mind fanservice, I did think of it as a mediocre passtime at first but ended up liking it quite a lot. I especially liked the last few episodes

Nobunaga Concerto: Due to the art style, I prejudged this before I watched it, but it really turned out to be amazing. Not only was the comedy really great, but it also helped that since it wasn't a harem anime, they actually decided to develop the characters in a unique way that other Nobunaga styled anime haven't done. Fate/Zero: Being as I tried to watch the first episode before Fate/Stay Night a while ago, and kinda just got bored of it, I wasn't expecting too much. However, after watching the original Fate/Stay Night, everything made much more since when I got around to Zero, and I thoroughly enjoyed this title. The Pet Girl of Sakurasou: Like Fate/Zero, this is another title I tried to watch a while ago, but with this one, the fanservice kinda turned me off originally. After going back to it a while later, I kinda learned that they turned down the fanservice after episode 4, so it was much more enjoyable than I thought it would be. Your Lie in April: I originally watched this when it first aired, so I really didn't know what I was getting into, but it ended up being one of my favorite shows in the process. Now that I'm writing this, I kinda want to rewatch this one now.

hmm... Spice and wolf i started the series with the "okay, i bet this is gonna be one of those which by the half time i`m gonna drop" impression. well i couldn`t be more wrong. i loved the whole thing, especially their conversation methods. and true tears judging by the first episodes i was sure this is not gonna be to my liking, but i dig the ending. it ALMOST had me reaching for tissues.

To this day, i still mix up Scary and Cute. Kawaii and Kowai.

Well, being as I'm on a desktop, I don't have built in speakers, but I do prefer having speakers over a headset. Mainly because my ears are very sensitive though, so having something like that would definitely hurt if I were to have it on even for a few hours or so. I'm using these speakers which seem to work pretty well for me. If it was for my laptop though, I would probably end up using my headphones over the built in speakers for better quality.

Hmmm let's see.... Ao Haru Ride/Ore Monogatari: Although I do watch quite a lot of shojo anime, I rarely expect them to be anything worth mentioning after I'm done with them, unless they include some sort of fantasy element (like Kamisama Hajimemashita for example). Unlike Tonari no Kaibutsu-kun, which I just knew it would be good from the start, I watched these two only to pass the time. They did, howerver, exceed my expectations by far, especially Ore Monogatari...... I guess I should explain in detail AHR seem like the usual clishe school romance at first, where the girl starts high school and wants to make friends and blah blah blah... That plot is so overused that, if I had a dollar every time I stumbled upon such an anime/manga, I'd be rich. The thing with AHR is that it has characters that can support this plot without being stupid or annoying. On top of that, the drama is real... It's not some sort of silly misunderstanding that causes s*it to happen (obviously something you couldn't do... *glares at Kimi ni Todoke* ) On the other hand, OM is more of a comedy. And when I say comedy, I mean the kind that makes your ribs ache from laughing too much. It is rather unconventional as well, because the one that gets the girl is not your typical good-looking, I'm-sexy-and-I-know-it guy (nothing wrong with those :3 but a change is good). I also really enjoyed the characters. Everyone was lovable. And what a great voice acting of Takeo!!! Takuya Eguchi (his voice actor) deserves so many cookies!!!! Kuroko no Basket: I started watching that one just because it was popular and infested with hotties :3 (SHAME ON ME, I KNOW!!!). Considering that I'm not the biggest fan of sports, I wasn't prepared for this masterpiece of an anime!!! Kudos to the creator for taking basketball to a whole new level!!! The games had me on edge, the characters were great and there was a good deal of comedy as well

Oh boy...

Drill, read the manga, it has a continuation of that.
