  1. Detective Pikachu - still got one illusive General Pika Prompt that has alluded me for at least three playthroughs, I thought I'd have another got at obtaining it, Gotta Detect'em All; Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu - was wondering whether to change out of the Grunt uniform that the Super Spy masquerading as a female grunt gave me before taking on Erika, but as Kaede, her childhood friend in "How I Became A Pokemon Card" manga is in Team Rocket, I think I'll stick with it; Pokemon Let's Go Eevee - loaded it up when I thought that the mother's ethnicity changed based on what you picked for the player, but turns out I was wrong, she's just naturally tanned, like how she is in SMUSUM, although this incorrect revelation made me want to see if it happens in SwSh; Pokemon Shield - loaded it up to see if the mother's ethnicity changed based on what you picked for the player, and... it does, now I have to wonder if this feature is carried over into DP remakes given trainer customisation is still in, but Dawn and Johanna are sort of established characters (in the anime) - I thought this might be why trainer customisation wasn't present in ORAS, as May was an established character, but it could also be due to the fact we see both of her parents in the game, and may be the technology wasn't there to have the mother's ethnicity change based on what you picked for the player; Pokemon Sword - loaded it up to "trade" a couple of Pokemon to Shield with HOME... surely this is the anti-thesis of Satoshi Tajiri's dream, the ability to "trade" Pokemon between games using ONE console only, that said, when you "trade" this way, any Pokemon that would evolve by trading doesn't... I don't think, so conventional trading is still required... some of the time.
  2. Pokemon the First Movie, Pokemon the Movie 2000, Pokemon the Movie 3, Pokemon 4Ever, Pokemon Heroes, Pokemon Destiny Deoxys, Pokemon - Lucario and the Mystery of Mew, and Pokemon - Genesect and the Legend Awakened. First five bought as I only originally had them on video, so hunted down the original-extra-chocked copies, not the newer-no-extras copies... well except Heroes, that's the extraless version, as it came in a boxset... will have to hunt down the extra-full version; awaiting Pokemon Ranger and the Temple of the Sea and Diancie and the Cocoon of Destruction to arrive, then that's my collection complete (though wish Paramount hadn't changed the cover for Jirachi Wishmaker, as I always have to resist the urge to import the American copy for the cover), well... I could have bought Mewtwo Strikes Back - Evolution, but thought I'd give the UK distributor a chance to release it, rather than just resort to import, though it's tempting.
  3. Current re-watches: Persona -trinity soul-: was speaking to someone on another forum, and mentioned my idea of "what if trinity soul was added back into the main universe" (with P4 and spin-offs, it became non-canon), so in order to look at what content was available, I re-watched the series; Pokemon movie 20 - I Choose You: simple, so I could put a review on the "What Are You Watching Today?" thread ;); Digimon Appli Monsters: stalled watching this series (not because I wasn't enjoying it, far from it, actually preferred it to what I saw of Adventure -tri-, just I didn't find the time to watch it), so as I believe I didn't get that far, thought I'd resume from the start again! Other reasons for re-watches include; "because the series is that good" and "in preparation for a sequel"! Actually a re-watch of Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha and A's (possibly StrikerS), might be on the cards for me, as I did watch Reflection recently, and I think I might re-watch Working!, as there's the continuations I haven't watched, and I've not watched Working! in a while!
  4. Closest I could think of were Aishiteru ze Baby and Beelzebub, but I don't think it's either of those, however using those on an anime database, you might find a similar anime that is the correct one, perhaps!
  5. I was thinking it could be Real Drive too, although not sure I'm comfortable with knowing if it is, as it's on my watchlist, and "he finally regains his youth and the girl who was taking care of him ends up getting together with him" is a bit of a strange outcome! If I find time, I could make it one of the next series I watch, especially as I (re)found out the original concept of Real Drive is by Masamune Shirow!! - currently resumed watching Digimon Appli Monsters!
  6. That's another series I need to get round to watching! As for what I'm actually watching, still Persona -Trinity Soul-, however coming near to the end (again), however I might watch it again, after I've finished it; discussing with someone on another forum how you would go about "turning" this anime into a game, so the actual mechanics might require another watch, to figure it all out!
  7. Need to get round to picking up Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? again, Tomonori *ahem* Yuki is just so cute! That's on my watch list to start at somepoint, that and Fate/Grand Order: First Order, but might wait for the UK DVD release on that one! I was going to say I'm not watching anything at the moment, as that was the case when I last started writing a post for this thread, but I current AM watching something: Persona -Trinity Soul- Set in a now alternate universe (as of Persona 4), the story picks up ten years on from the events that happened on Tatsumi Island (Persona 3); brothers Shin and Jun return to their family home, after being in the care of their aunt for certain number of years; whilst in their hometown they meet friends in form of Kanaru, Megumi and Takuro, and are dragged in the mysterious world of Persona! What I originally was going to post about was the anime event I went to recently, Akibapass Festival in Germany, and Occultic;Nine, and I will do so now, in a spoiler tag below:
  8. Same on both regards; last movie watched, and great film! I have no problems with The Last Jedi, or rather minor problems; the first time I watched it, I wasn't sure of it, but maybe it didn't have my full attention that time, but when I watched it for a second time, it had my full attention, and I was like "Chewie, we're home" ;)!
  9. Played all Devil May Cry games, but have yet to complete Devil May Cry 2 and Devil May Cry 3; favourite girl is Kyrie from Devil May Cry 4! Bayonetta is a similar game to Devil May Cry, actually by the guy behind the first DMC!
  10. Sorry, I'm being old school, and not posting a video; it would mean seeing if it is on YouTube :D! Not really listening to a song, but listening to Fate/Extra Sound Drama! Earlier today was listening to Tsubasa Chronicle Soundscape III, which I picked up at an anime event in Germany recently, and Persona 4: Dancing All Night Soundtrack Disc 2, which I've had for a while!
  11. Flew out to Germany to watch this on the big screen; could have also gone to France or Italy, but the German dates were confirmed first, plus Italy made quick work of things, already producing a dub!! It was fantastic, and everyone clapped when it finished, although for some reason Sakura "Best Girl" Matou didn't even get third billing on the German programme for her own movie; instead these honours went to Rin "OPM" Tohsaka, Kirei "Fake Priest" Kotomine, and Shirou "People Die when they're killed" Emiya! That said, Kirei did have some great double entendres regarding Ayako, so I can see why he got second spot ;)! Heaven's Feel was great, as there are more differences at the start than with the previous routes; Shinji's unchanged expression after Rider had been defeated was hilarious (slow to catch on), and the divergence from the Gandr Shot, was great too, where Rin's about to express how much of an idiot Shirou is walking around without his servant, before he cuts her off - I believe these are supposed to be the same scene (just on different routes)! Missed out on the figure of Sakura in her white dress from this figure; expected it to be quite expensive, but when looking online now, apparently its going for only £15.00; not sure I can believe that, plus, would probably have a 100% mark up at the event, as I found out paid double for the figure of Shielder, I got, but such is things in Love and War ComiCon type events! If the next movie is on at Akibapass next year, I'd probably consider flying out to Germany again; dispite not knowing German, and my knowledge of Japanese is from anime, I feel I did quite well following the movie :D!
  12. It stands for Original Animation DVD, the successor to Original Animation Video/Original Video Animation, that said maybe it's Original Animation Disc, as there's not been an abbreviation that recognises the move to blu-ray yet! OADs can be one episode or more, quite often of higher animation quality compared to an anime series, possibly a "retelling" of events from the series, and in Japan, usually bundled with a volume of the manga or light novel series! The OAD for D-Frag! revolved around a Water Festival; Kazama and the others battle for first place in a race to obtain coverted water from the festival!
  13. I should really know, as I've gleamed at the raws, there's actually a good bit in the raws (probably the translated version too), but can't remember what it was now, I'll have to look through the raws again! That aside, Baka-Updates is a good site to remember if you're ever curious as to where the anime adaptation of a manga ends, in this case, Baka-Updates says it's Volume 4 Chapter 36! You watch the OAD as well as the series? Need to read the manga myself at somepoint, but just getting round to it!
  14. *oblivious to fight taking place, as too busy talking to Takao * Well the episode itself gave us the result, although quite possibly only because of an assist by Kazama, as Tama-chan-senpai had developed a counter measure to Roka's darkness attack, plus she has a height advantage!
  15. Oh!! That's quite true, she does evolve into Holy Dramon in the movie, but in the PSP game, she evolves into Orphanimon!
  16. The European version of Virtue's Last Reward was Japanese audio only (with dubtitles), that could be what happened with certain versions Dynasty Warriors 7, however perhaps not!
  17. Yeah, I believe you've mentioned it to me before SSJUP81, and they're not going to change the canon... well they could, although with Digimon, I don't think they would!

    Weird Words

    Concur (verb; a formal word) To concur means to agree. From Latin concurrere meaning "to run together". However, it has always sounded negative to me, although it could be just because there are other negative words starting with "con-", but "con-" is not a negative, it is the Latin for "together", or at least in this context! So what other words beginning with "con-" are there? I've grouped some together, and classed them as "negative" and "postive": [spoiler=Negative] Conceal - from Latin con- + celare meaning "to hide thoroughly"; Concede - from Latin concedere meaning "to yield"; Conceit - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Concussed - from Latin concussus meaning "violently shaken"; Condemn - from Latin condemnare, dictionary doesn't say anymore than that; Condescend - from Latin condecendere meaning "to show humility", ironic; Condition - from Latin condicere meaning "to discuss" or "to argee", quite a different meaning to these days; Confess - from Latin confiteri meaning "to admit"; Confine - from Latin con- meaning "with" and finis meaning "boundary",; Confiscate - from Latin confiscare meaning "to seize for the public treasury"; Conflagration - from Latin conflagurare meaning "to be burnt up"; Conflict - from Latin confligere meaning "to fight" or "to contend"; Conform - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Confront - from Latin confrontari meaning "to stand face to face with"; Confuse - from Latin confundere meaning "to pour together"; Congenital - from Latin congenitus meaning "born together with"; Congested - from Latin congestus meaning "pressed together"; Conjecture - from Latin conjicere meaning "to throw together"; Connive - from Latin connievere meaning "to blink", quite a different meaning to these days; Consequence - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, however Consequent is from Latin consequi meaning "to pursue"; Consign - from Latin consignare meaning "to put one's seal to", some link to today's meaning; Consolidate - from Latin consolidare meaning "to make firm"; Conspire - from Latin conspirare meaning "to plot"; Constrain - from Latin constringere meaning to "bind together" or "to restrain"; Constrict - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Contagious - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Contain - from Latin con- + tenere meaning "to hold together"; Contaminate - from Latin contaminare meaning "to defile"; Contempt - from Latin contemnere meaning "to condemn"; Contend - from Latin contendere meaning "to stretch" or "to strive"; Contort - from Latin contortus meaning "twisted"; Contract - from Latin contrahere meaning "to draw together"; Contradict - from Latin contra- + dicere meaning "to speak against"; Contrary - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Contrast - from Latin contra- + stare meaning "to stand against"; Control - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Controversial - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Conundrum - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Convict - from Latin convictus meaning "convicted of crime"; Convoluted - from Latin convolutus meaning "rolled together"; Convulse - from Latin convellere meaning "to tear up"! Those that appear to be of the same root origin, I've put in bold! [spoiler=Positive]Concern - from Latin concernere meaning "to mingle together"; Confide - from Latin confidere meaning "to trust"; Confident - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Congenial - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Conjunction - from Latin conjunctus meaning "united"; Connect - from Latin connectere meaning "to bind together"; Conscience - from Latin conscire meaning "to know"; Conscious - from Latin conscius meaning "sharing knowledge"; Consider - from Latin considerare meaning "to inspect"; Consistent - no origins listed in my Collins School Dictionary, might update at a later time; Console - from Latin consolari meaning "to comfort"; Construct - from Latin construere meaning "to heap together" or "to build"; Consult - from Latin consultare meaning "to consider" or "to reflect"; Contact - from Latin contactus meaning "a touch"; Contemplate - from Latin contemplari meaning "to regard"; Content - from Latin continere meaning "to contain" or "to hold back"; Continue - from Latin continuare meaning "to join together"; Contribute - from Latin contribuere, dictionary doesn't say anymore than that; Convene - from Latin convenire meaning "to come together"; Convenience - from Latin conveniens meaning "appropriate"; Converge - from Latin con- + vergere meaning "to bend together"; Convince - from Latin convincere meaning "to demonstrate conclusively"! Same as other section, the words that appear to be linked by root, have been put in bold! Well that's all, I could have branched out into neutral, and also this positive and negative definition is my own opinion, so some people may see these words differently!
  19. I can see what Monox D. I-Fly is talking about, as quite often if something is released before something else, you assume there could be a link! Also, when I think of Rosemon in Savers (Yoshino's partner), I think how different the two versions of Rosemon are "portrayed"; the different voices of Yukana (Savers) and Mizowaki Shihomi (Adventures), and feel that Yukana's voice suits the character better, but could be "first" rule coming into play!
  20. That's true, although I was considering evolutions that went to Ultimate, Banchou Stingmon is apparently a Perfect Level Digimon, with currently no next evolution! Although I did do some "cheating" with evolution suggestions previously, so I'm sure I could do some here too, but would have to look into possible "evolutions" more!
  21. No English voices!? Interesting, so it used the original Japanese audio? If this is the case, was DW8 dual-audio, or did it revert back to dub only?
  22. True, but anything could happen in two (and a half - if same length as last movie) hours, I have a feeling that the start of the movie will probably mirror the start of the series; the partners evolving to save the chosen children from Kuwagamon!
  23. Hey Optic, not important, but just thought I'd show you some pictures of Nanoha overkill after StrikerS, put an image and some links on my original post in [url=https://animeforums.net/community/threads/experimental-ideas.3077/]Experimental Ideas[/url] thread!

    1. Optic

      Optic

      Nanoha is so adorable. Thanks... I think this will be the push I need to finally watch the TV series and StrikerS as I've only ever seen the two movies.

      Good to hear ;)! If adorable is your thing, then the series is the way to go; Nanoha's barrier jacket with the large red bow, and a giant kitten :D! Been meaning to make a review thread for MGLN, and call it "She whispers softly in your ear, and makes your days gentle", or whatever the series tagline is, but plan to re-watch the movies first, just not got round to it!

  24. If you've watched Strawberry Panic!, perhaps: Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru, very similar but only twelve episodes, plus an SD OVA (Tsunderella), that said, it's not quite yuri/shoujo-ai, for same reason as Maria+Holic, but it's Strawberry Panic! in its situation and characters; Maria-sama ga Miteru has some shoujo-ai in, apparently, or second series at least, according to wikipedia quote of Anime News Network; Aki Sora, technically it's main focus is incest, but features yuri with the sister of the titular characters (Aki and Sora), Nami and her friend Kana; Mai-Otome (Zwei, and S.ifr 0), if an Otome has a relationship with a man, they lose their super powers, so this opens the door for shoujo-ai, Eristin Ho is in love with Nina Wang; Mai-HiME, some shoujo-ai in that too, and fake shoujo-ai, with Chie hitting on Mai, but I don't think Chie swings that way, but been a while since I've watched it, need to watch it again at somepoint; Ikkitousen, or perhaps from Dragon Destiny, as I believe Kan'U is in love with Ryuubi, that said, again, another series not watched in a while; Airmaster, Maki a high school girl bored with gymnastics takes to street fighting, transferring into a local school she meets Yuu, Michiru and Renge, and Mina through them, who is in love with Maki! Let's see, what else: Kashimashi ~Girl meets Girl~, boy confesses to girl, girl reject him, boy climbs mountain, gets killed by spaceship, the aliens bring him back to life, but with one change... he's now a girl, and yet the girl that rejected him, is now interested in him... (so similar to Kampfer); Fight Ippatsu Juuden-chan, neither of the main charge ladies, Plug or Arrester are yuri, however, Kuran and Reika are, or at least I thought they were, Wikipedia apparently says "not"! More suggestions, some with explainations in the "disorganised" section: Revolutionary Girl Utena; Kannaduki no Miko; Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke; Otome wa Boku ni Koshiteru: Futari Elder; Maria+Holic Alive; Koihime+Musou - I think; Yawaraka Sangokushi Tsukisase!! Ryofuko-chan; Akikan!; Saint October; Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls; Ultimate Girls; Horizon in the Middle of Nowhere; Blue Drop; Valkyrie Drive; Seikon no Qwaser; Getsuyoubi no Tawawa; Chu-Bra!!; Devil Lady/Devilman Lady; Kanamemo! [spoiler=Disorganised] I believe there is some shoujo-ai/yuri to Revolutionary Girl Utena, but I've only watched the movie, which is quite trippy, and I think Kannaduki no Miko and Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke has shoujo-ai/yuri in too! Actually need to get round to watching Sono Hanabira ni Kuchizuke, although I technically need to watch Revolutionary Girl Utena and Kannaduki no Miko too, oh and Candy Boy, Otome wa Boku ni Koishiteru: Futari Elder! Maria+Holic Alive! EDIT1: As I've been putting the "+" on Maria+Holic, I'm now wondering if Koihime+Musou is shoujo-ai/yuri, and because of Koihime+Musou, Yawaraka Sangokushi Tsukisase!! Ryofuko-chan has sprung to mind - the minds of three figures from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms find themselves in the bodies of pre-schoolers, and they're still lusting after women, namely their teacher, Eri Matsuoka! My mind's now working its way through other series, thinking if there's any shoujo-ai/yuri: Akikan!, Yurika is in love with Najimi; Saint October, I think Natsuki is in love with Kotono, unless it's just admiration; Hyakka Ryouran Samurai Girls, Hanzo is in love with Senhime; Ultimate Girls, Vivenne is in love with Silk! I believe there's some shoujo-ai/yuri in Horizon Middle of Nowhere, and how did I forget Blue Drop!? EDIT2: Wait..., how did I forget Valkyrie Drive? I mean you've got main characters Mirei and Mamori, and Nimi and Noe, I believe, to name a few - not managed to get round to watching it yet! Oh, Seikon no Qwaser, that's another, kind of, don't think there's anything featuring main characters Tomo or Mafuyu, but think there's some featuring other characters! I misread the title of a video, but because of it, I found possibly another, Getsuyoubi no Tawawa, unless "Volley Bu-chan" was just playfully fondling "Ai-chan", looking at the series on anidb, seems there's quite theme with the female characters, which includes "Kouhai-chan" and "Trainer-san"! The video also reminded me, I've still to watch the Disappearance of Nagato Yuki! Yeah thought as much, in Chu-Bra!!, Haruka apparently has some romantic feelings for Nayu, but I think they're only pretty minor, however thought they were there, and that's what wikipedia says too! Actually, how did I forget Devil Lady/Devilman Lady, the love of Jun and Kasumi that bubbles away under the surface, along with Aoi and other characters also in love with Jun! Lastly there's also Kanamemo, which features Haruka and Yume, both listed as that way inclined on anidb! Right, that's everything I can think of at the moment
