Please help me find anime for my sister for Christmas!
leinwandname replied to Godot11's topic in Anime Discussion
So for films in general, I think, the anime christmas movie is Satoshi Kon's Tokyo Godfathers! So if you wont to include a movie, definitely this one, IMO. There's Itsudatte My Santa - a two parter - but I can't remember how it was, (seen it a long time ago) but I think it's pretty decent and on the funny side. Maybe not necessarily a christmas anime but a winter love story is Winter Sonata. It's an amazing story, but also very mature one and if you want something lighthearted, don't go for this one. Also, it was originally in Korean with Jap. subs - I don't know if a japanese audio exists but since you probably go for english subs, the dub language doesn't matter either way. Another amazing movie (and my personal favorite anime movie!) is Ame and Yuki. Its funny, wholesome at times, but also features dramatic scenes with well written characters and a fitting OST. If she likes SAO, she probably has seen the movie?- otherwise include the SAO Ordinal Scale movie. Can´t say much about since I'm not a SAO fan, but fans apparently like it. For episodes: I remember that Hetalia Axis Powers hat a funny chirstmas special (ep 31). Hetalia in general is a funny comedy anime which just plays of stereotypes of countries and their people Toradora ep 19 and K-On ep 7 are the only other two that I remember. Oh, and there is the Love on the Ski Slope on Christmas Eve special for Detective Conan, (or rather the Magic Kaito specials) Sorry, I dont know that many special episodes from series, or at east don't remember many... But definitely go for Tokyo Godfathers and I definitely recommend Ame and Yuki and Love on the Ski Slope. -
Cold, dry and snowing.

Hana, from Ookami Kodomo no Ame to Yuki seems to be a great mother to her children. Just look at the things she does for her children throughout the movie - and all of these alone! Kouhei Inuzuka seems to be a good husbando, considering that he tries his best to raise his daughter just shortly after his wife died to the best of his abilities and trying to make things fun for his daughter.

Just finished Devilman Crybaby - and I can't say what I think of it. I liked the first half somewhat but the last three episodes were just a mess, IMO. Overall, everything felt rushed --not fast paced but rushed-- the characters felt bland which destroyed the emotional moments... But I liked the artstyle and music. Now watching Stein:Gate 0. I'm looking forward to it, since I like the first anime, but I did hear some criticism for it...

Wow ... I binged through Megalo Box and Black Lagoon Roberta's Blood Trail in more or less a night (plus the evening before) Considering that I have two exams next week, this might not have been a smart decision (Srsly, I just wanted to watch the first two eps of MB after a few days of nothing but studying, and then...)... but I guess you could say I liked both >.< Anyways, Devil Man Crybaby next - but I won't start watching it until next week-end just to be safe...

Netflix to create live-action Cowboy Bebop series
leinwandname replied to Ohayotaku's topic in Anime Discussion
Well, that counts for almost everything, doesn't it? If you expect nothing, you won't be let down - unless you're dewey... :'D I haven't yet watched a live adaptation of anything Anime or Manga related except the movie Azumi (from an amazing Manga) so I can't say much about the decision to adapt CB, but from what I've heard, Netflix adaption tend to be a let down? (I don't have Netflix to begin with, so....) But I might check out this one - Cowboy Bebop seems to be an anime that could be considerably faithfully. For example what made, Death Note, the anime, pretty good was how they used the fact that it was animated to emphasize certain themes or emotions- soemthing that you really can't do with a live adaption. But as I said, I don't know much about this matte but I'll keep an eye on it. -
Just finished Durarara!!x2 Ten - basically watched all three seasons of Durarara!! consecutively and I like them. The first season was my favorite --the series got a bit weaker IMO afte it-- and I wasn't much a fan of the ending but overall, it was a great show! The story-telling had something Baccano!!-esque at first and the cast was diverse and interesting though some lacked depth. Now continuing with Megalo Box - heard lots of great things of it when it aired. And I think it's might first boxer anime,

My Monogatari Box Set finally arrived (yesterday)! Ordered it about one month ago on amazon when the price dropped one month before its release - I sold my older monogatari books to a friend and decided that's worth the money to buy a limited box set (if 5000 can be called limited - technically yes, but...) of my favorite anime franchise. At least the post card is limited, they might release just the box once all the sets are sold. Anyways, now I oficially have anime merch in my home!

The last thing I have to do is going to the toilet. I can't got to bed without doing this before. Like, I went to the toilet, and then realized I didn't set my alarms so I set it. Then I had to go to the toilet again even though I just went two minutes before. I don't remember going to sleep without doing this as the very last thing. It's not like I'd wet myself or something like that (I'd never even had a problem with that when I was very little) if I didn't but I simply feel restless and uneasy.... And sometimes, for whatever reason, when I'm listening to music with earphones I whistle. Not whistling to the tune but just one notes - I think I'd otherwise fear that I'd lost my hearing to the outside world and that I'm only capable of listening to music anymore. >_>

Mostly grand-strategy games (the Paradox games, Total War, etc. ...) and RPGs (the older TES games, and CRPGs), sometimes some VNs and building games (I user the Stronghold games to create maps and castles, and sometimes play some Sim City 2000/4), and I used to play a lot of JRPGs but not so much anymore. (well - I haven't played much lately in general.) I sometimes play a few rounds Magic the Gathering, and rarely some chess, with a friend. I've never been a fan of MMOs, nor shooters --I usually play single player games-- and the only online shooters I've played excessively were Verdun and Tannenberg, both games from the WW1 1914-1918 series.

One day - one day when I'm not some poor student (and if I were more inclined to reach deeper into my pockets) I'll buy all the box sets there is in the world But seriously, the Flip Flappers and Made in Abyss box sets look really nice and its probably considerably cheap to a not so stingy person >.>

Almost finished Durarara!!2x Shou and will then proceed with Durarara!!2x Ten - watched Durarara!! long time but never saw the other two season.

Hmm.... can't decide what my favorite game is but there are some in no particular order: Europa Universalis 4 - or most Paradox games like Crusader Kings 2, Victoria 2 and hearts of Iron 3/4 Final Fantasy 6 - my favourite FF game followed by FF VI, FF X and FF IX Morrowind - or TES in general, in the order Morrowind, Oblivion, Daggerfall, Skyrim, Arena Baldur's Gate 2 Kerbal Space Program (Happy to see that someone else also like to play it! Total War Shogun 2 - while it isn't, IMO, the best TW game, by far not and I wouldn't touch it without mods, it's still the one that's the most fun to me, followed by Empire and M2TW

So, does a "collection of x" count? I mean, I could say a collection of books, a collection of (some kind of) tools, a collection of elecronical devises plus solar powered chargers... For the sake of the game, and i think its the point of the game, I'll say I can't choose a "collection of x" or a "set of x" unless it's one object like a toolbox,. 1.) An E-Book-reader reader with thousands of books including books with instructons on how to build basic things like a shelter, fire, sandals, weapons, ect. .. 2.) A solar powered charger for said reader. 3.) A loaded gun just in case I want to die quickly. Initially I wanted to limit my options so I'd have think more about what I'd take with me, especially in terms of entertainment (mainly what book would I take with me since I can't choose a collection of books or an entire library. I'd have chosen the LotR book) but then again, the existence of readers and a solar powered charger makes this easier. So yeah.... the first part was kind unnecessary

Live with my parents right now, but intend to move next summer. Having your (social) entire life due to uni and friends from the uni in the city while you live in some dump 40 mins away (with the train from the city - not counting the time it takes from the train station to somewhere in the city) is a bit annoying... But first I'd have to get a job during summer and a job I can do while studying so that I'm not broke after half a year...

Used to play Flute as a child, now playing the Violin since I was 9 - although, I haven't played much the last 6 months ... was a lazy summer and didn't have the time before (just like now). Really, the feeling of playing it just satisfying, the smell of rosin on your bow and the feeling just getting the sound right after you've practised a hard piece for some time is what I like the most. Ofc, the sound too, but I like the sound of a piano more, honestly, but playing the piano felt kinda weird when I tried it once....

Do you watch the same anime series more then once?
leinwandname replied to Geano's topic in Anime Discussion
I haven`t rewatched any newer series recently, the "newest" was Cowboy Bebop during the summer, if my memory serves well. XD -
Hmmm - I usually read or listen to music but if I had to chose a game it'd either be EU4 or Morrowind. Probably Morrowind - nothing's better than being the Nerevarine when you're sad

University student. I usually work during summer for a month. mostly measuring something in a circuit and wiriting down the numbers because everyone who works there is too lazy to do that (and it's not really the most intriguing job, but it looks good in your CV when you say that you regularely worked for a tech company). Sometimes, I'm even allowed to do some programming - although, coding might me more correct...

leinwandname replied to Geano's topic in Anime Discussion
Ah, I meant that I would take some eps, let's say 4-10 (DC often has two to three eps per case)and watch them - rewatching the entire thing is kinda .... time consuming <.< I mostly rewatch the important eps, which were important for character development (like when they were in London, or Ai`s first appearance) and often skip the fillers, even when I watch the new episodes. (Unless I have nothing to do on a day, then I might watch the fillers) -

leinwandname replied to Geano's topic in Anime Discussion
Sometimes, but like the pic above says: Too much anime.... If I rewatch an anime, its usually some short series with 6-12 eps, very rarely a longer one and only if I really, really like that show like FMA:B or the likes. I do however sometimes take one of the long running series like Detective conan and watch some older eps for nostalgia's sake or catch up on some new ones (doesn't count as rewatching though)
