Wedgy

I don't think they're mentioned enough. I think people forget about them because they were overshadowed by some of the more popular animes of their time ie Fullmetal Alchemist, Inuyasha, Cowboy Bebop, Bleach etc. Not that it's anything new. But they are sadly easy to be forgotten about over time, and it's hard to find anywhere to stream those two especially. I own them both on disc thankfully.

I think the only anime series I have watched more than once in its entirety has been Wolf's Rain, Mongolian Chop Squad, and more recently Madoka Magica. If we venture outside anime the list would get much longer (don't ask me how many times I've read Harry Potter.) Beyond that I'll sometimes rewatch a certain episode I liked, but most often the reason I don't care to rewatch anime series is because of all the episodes I didn't care so much for. I would skip them.

YES that is so me. You understand me. If you haven't yet, see if you can watch a series called Over the Garden Wall. I recently remembered it was a thing since it was Halloween and I'd forgotten just how fricking cute it was. It's a very easy sit-down; ten episodes about 11 minutes long, may as well watch it like a feature film. Just be ready for, like you said, that feeling of wanting more. And thank you so muchly for the well wishes. It made me feel so squishy and warm inside. It's been a goal of mine this year and I've been trying for months and months and that feeling of success is just something I can't accurately describe. But you no doubt understand.

Nice to meet you @Persona (•¯ ∀ ¯•) I'm Wedgy, or Grace if you prefer names. I think we have a lot in common. I'm mid-twenties with my own bun in the oven and I adore cute things myself. What I watch often shifts with my mood, but I prefer short series with good stories. I think you're right that our tastes change with age. There are a lot of series I used to watch in my teens I probably wouldn't have given any thought to had I learned of them now. Anyway, you seem like a cool and pleasant person so I hope I get to see you around more. (>^_^)><(^_^<) Ta for now!

I feel the same way. I watched FMA around 2003 which was well before FMAB was a thing (outside of course its source material,) and loved it then. As such it was my first exposure to the story and naturally it's what I envision when somebody mentions it. I actually didn't even know that FMAB was a thing until about 2012 or so, and didn't even take the time to watch it until this year. Both of them have different plots going for them and they have extraordinary differences the farther in the series you go. So it wouldn't really be fair to compare them I think. They're distinctly different animes to me as far as I'm concerned and I enjoyed both.

I'm just over here imagining all of the dissociative disorders that will no doubt surface with this kind of technology. It's great and cool, yes, but we as animals were not wired to work that way and not all of us will be entirely 'compatible' so to speak. That all said I don't think mental health will stop it from happening one day. Who knows, maybe some good can come of it. There could be more uses for VR technology than just entertainment. Although I would hate to see something like live shows (music) somehow being replaced by VR. I guess I'm a little on the fence about the whole thing.

That could be a lot of titles lol

I suppose it depends upon customisation options. Since a lot of games these days make the sex of your character mostly independent of the rest of the games' content (bar for examples sake, Jill/Chris from Resident Evil affecting the gameplay,) then the only matter for me to discuss with myself is what I want to spend the whole game looking at. I have to agree a lot of the time females generally wear their gear better if that's an option. Oftentimes the voice acting is executed differently and that might drive my choice. But the truth of it is I'm in the same boat as Morioka in Net-juu. I more dominantly play male characters. In an online setting, it's not because I want to pretend I'm a guy. I probably just found them more satisfying to play as for one reason or another. But regardless of that, I'm also not someone who tells everyone I meet that I'm a woman, either. I find it a little obnoxious frankly. So I just roll with it and sometimes people refer to me as "him" and I often can't find the energy to correct them. I don't think it matters much. I just like to let the truth come out on its own, and that's assuming it does. Usually, this happens when it comes time to VC, and often by that point, it's a little funny when they find out that way.

I can't remember which version it was, but was there not a system sort of like that already? It was a bit contrived but I vaguely remember there being a place you could customise each fighter and add a few stats. Though I agree a proper skill tree might be nice to have. A lot of competitive games have that working for them now, so I can put some faith in it working for Smash.

Now that I have a Switch I can finally pay attention to this. I haven't had a smash game since Melee, and brief matches on friend's consoles in Brawl. Played sooooooo much of it on the N64, though, it was my brother and I's favourite game. I will happily play it offline as I'm not a fan of Nintendo's subscription practices. But I will likely be picking it up. Admittedly I haven't looked into the details of SBU much yet. * That they added Chrom to the roster makes me very, very happy by the way.

SIP dropped a new album today ^-^
