  1. I do not use cloud storage too much, since I want to have offline access to my stuff, but I do utilize it a bit for my manuscripts.
  2. I just recently upgraded from a Samsung s5 to the s8+. It has been a pretty decent phone and more portable that other options (no need to use wireless headphones, which means I can travel easier).
  3. Kind of surprised that you did not notice that, since like me, you said you followed the manga more than the anime. Then again, I was not too sure where you were exactly in the series, since not all countries are up to date with the series, and I am pretty much caught up with Japan, as a fellow Detective Conan noted after reading one of my reviews.
  4. Baka-Updates Manga really help me in these kinds of situations, when I do reviews, and it really depends on where you left off. This page for the series on that site should be able to help you, regardless of which season you last watched.
  5. It looks to be somewhat interesting. I remember that the series had me laughing quite a bit.
  6. That is kind of true, and I do notice that trend, but it does not really change my guess that much of it reaching its end soon. I doubt it will be the much hype chapter 1000, but Gosho skipped pretty much every rank, including third sting, to get to second-in-command. All I can say is that I hope the ride will be more enjoyable than what volume 62 was like.
  7. As much as I hate to admit it, since many of the people doing YouTube and video podcasts do not seem to take advantage of the video medium, instead doing something that could be have been easily expressed via text or audio alone, I agree that the author should look into focusing on podcasts and YouTube videos would be better.
  8. There are rumors saying that Gosho planned to have be short, but it is going on for a while longer. I think that is will end soon though, since Kudo and the gang are trying to uncover the identity of the second in command.
  9. Finally finished reviewing the books I got, and taking a break.

  10. I actually follow this series, and write up reviews on a quarterly basis, since that is Viz Media's release schedule. The mysteries are sometimes good, but Gosho Aoyama fails to impress me quite a bit.
  11. That makes me a bit more hopeful, but no theater near me will get it, so I have to wait for Blu Ray release (FUNimation is not posting new content on iTunes and not all of their movies are streamable).
  12. Not many anime tend to bore me to death or earn my hate, but I did not enjoy Attack on Titan, which many people seem to think is one of the best anime out there. If you want to see what I hated about it, you can check out the review of it that I just linked to, but the only other thing that I hated, which I did not mention on the linked page, is how people think that some basic questions that are only meant to create intrigue in the series are somehow deep and meaningful. Honestly, deep questions are like "What is truth?" or "What is a miracle?", not motivations behind what characters are doing.
  13. I most likely will not see it. I saw one of the creator's other works and felt really dissatisfied with it, enough so that I did not get why it was given a pedestal like Clannad's or even a Miyazaki film.
  14. Plex will help you in those situation (unless you plan to use it away from home, you do not need Internet). Anyway, welcome, Mars.
  15. No, FUNimation is on episode 9, but, looking at MAL, you have seen all there is, so if you are wondering about more content, you'll need to read the manga.
  16. I am currently watching Golden Time over on Crunchyroll and Kobayashi's Dragon Child, Trickster, Chaos Child, and Masamune's revenge on FUNimation.
  17. I was more of referring to regular books, since standalone manga is not all that common, but I have no problems with it, so I will allow it.
  18. I just looked it up on Amazon, and the summary and blurbs alone seem to be as irritatingly disgusting as you make it seem to be. People think that anime/manga fans are perverts, but that seemed worse than anything I saw in the manga I have read or anime I seen.
  19. Welcome to the board, Bunk. I hope you enjoy your time here.
  20. I only read the first three volumes. I have been meaning to read volumes 4-6, but because of a huge expenditure last month, I could not get them until now. I have been reviewing the light novels on my blog though, so you can always see where I am at, though I am trying to get only 3-4 volumes at a time
  21. All I have to say is that you are fairly lucky then. I do not have the money to spend on more bookshelves. As for general book recommendations, you could start a thread yourself if you wanted. Also, other than reviewing manga and anime, the former of which I have been doing more often, I have been reviewing so-called normal books, and most of the patrons I have on Patreon are subscribed to the tier that allows them to request me to review a book or manga of their choice, so you can see what I have talked about there.
  22. It might have received good praise from fans, since the sequel ends around the part people thought that the anime should end, but it was not as satisfying to me as the first 25 episodes of the show. There was nothing you needed to apologize for, so everything is okay.

    Narration

    Ookami's narrator is obvious. The narrator there just will not let me pick up on details myself, and explains everything. Come on! I want to enjoy the anime. If you watched Black Critic Guy's review of the show, what he did to the narrator in his video is what I want to do with Ookami's narrator. That should answer things fully for you. Some narrators are okay, but I just feel like I can immerse myself better without one.

    Narration

    Really depends on the show. For example, the narrator for Ookami really distracts me, but Haruhi's is okay. I prefer little to no narration.
  25. How you do with the space issue? My own bookshelf has almost no room at all.
