If there was ever a character made with me in mind, it would be Jean Otus from ACCA.  Everything from his demeanor, forgetfulness, and intelligence are all relatable to me.  There are plenty of other characters in shows I can relate to, just not on the same level as Jean.

Going to finally be relaxing this weekend (will probably be watching some anime and playing Atelier Sophie/FE Awakening).  Just replaced my car (as the alternator went out and other work needed to be done on it).  Haven't gotten a chance to take a picture, but this is what I got (2007 Chevy Cobalt, 90k miles)

Easily, no questions asked.  I'd probably choose...

I'd enter the world of Tayutama 2 with @drill in a heartbeat. No hesitation whatsoever.

You beat me to it Ryu xP

Atelier Sophie (PS4)

Just finding/crafting the highest level stuff I can and registering at the duplication shop so I can buy as many as I want xP  It does take a few ingame days for them to get back in stock though.  This is a really relaxing game overall.

Fire Emblem Awakening (3DS)

Playing this for like my 20th time at least (have 350 hours on just this 3ds, and based on other games, activity log didn't transfer over.... so yeah).  Don't really know why I'm playing this other than I'm almost done with FE Echoes and just wanted something to replace it.  On chapter 7ish of the main story.

Except that I didn't watch it when it aired

Ah, you're right, went back and checked, and it was @Optic who watched it at the same time as me. xP

Plastic Memories is fantastic. I don't remember if I cried or not..it's been awhile since I watched it. I do remember it being an emotional roller-coaster. 

Pretty much this since we both watched it back when it aired.  Probably did cry though xP

Only one of those I have seen, and to be honest I was thoroughly impressed with it. The Irregular at Magic High School. I really enjoyed that anime. And I’m sad there hasn’t been anymore. I would like to read the manga though. But those sound like good recommendations though. Why is The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, underwhelming? What’s it about so far?

Yeah, there should be more of it.  My only real complaint is how overloaded the MC is, if they kinda spread out his awesomeness a bit between several of the MCs, it would have helped me enjoy it more (or even perhaps having a prequel showing him going through things to gain all the skills he does have).  As for Haruhi, it really just hasn't hooked me on its show yet, like I just don't have a huge desire to keep watching the next episode like with other shows (Irregular at Magic High School even does this for me).  It's about a crazy chuunibyou girl who doesn't like talking to much of anyone, and forms a club looking for aliens and such.  There are some major plot twists and stuff later down the road, but overall, it just wasn't the kind of story I was into.  I already dropped the novel for the same reason, I was only really trying the anime to see if it might be more enjoyable that way.

Same here! Death Note is so damn good  I love SAO funnily enough SAO was also the first Anime i watched. That's fair enough yeah Tokyo Ghoul and Attack on Titan are pretty much Bloody, You need to watch HIHSCHOOL DXD it's about Angels, Demons, and Devils i will say that it has some Ecchi parts, but the story line is very interesting  and Oh that's what avi means i didn't know sorry bout that, But thanks for the compliment though i do love my Avatar!  

Doesn't appear that it's on Crunchyroll, so probably won't be getting around to it soon unfortunately.  I'll keep it in mind if it ever does get on there though.  Btw, do you happen to read any manga?  If so, how do you like it usually in comparison to anime?

I'm currently watching:

1. Steins;Gate 0 - pretty good, but not as intense as the original
2. SAO Alternative: GGO - the removal of kirito is all this series really needed
3. Gabriel Dropout - amazing comedy show
4. Magic Kaito 1412 (rewatch) - rather entertaining, but unfortunately isn't that deep with their characters
5. Slow Start - great SoL/cute girls doing cute things show
6. Code Geass (rewatch) - like my 4th rewatch of the show, i usually get bored of rewatching shows by this point, but not this one
7. The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - kinda underwhelming.  Might end up dropping
8. The Irregular at Magic High School (rewatch) - needed a generic magic school show.  This one ended up being a bit better when I can actually binge it rather than waiting each week

hey! Yeeeay i love people that also loves Anime!!  Fantastic welcome to my friends list  I love Death Note as you can see on my profile haha, But i also love Tokyo Ghoul, HIGHSCHOOL DXD, Attack on Titan, Sword Art Online Etc.  and what avi? 

Death Note is really high up there for me too, and SAO was the first anime I ever watched knowingly.  Can't say I've seen the rest of those though (know at least a few of them are a bit too bloody for my taste).  And 'avi' is short for 'avatar'.

Hey Pierre!  I love anime too, and would totally be up for being friends with you ^^

What are your favorite anime? (i assume death note is up there just from seeing your profile)

Also, love your avi btw ^^

The first season was pretty good, but would only watch a season 3 if studio deen stays away from the series this time (since they took over for season 2).  They seem pretty good at ruining shows I'd otherwise enjoy.

Welcome to AF, Wicked!  Hope you've been doing well ^^

Wish I even had time to play them.  Will be remembering to play Superdimension Neptune VS Sega Hard Girls and Hyperdevotion Noire: Goddess Black Heart at some point eventually though.

@brycec I haven't read the whole thing yet, but definitely really good from what I have read.  It starts out pretty slow, but when it picks up it does so really fast.  Also, not nearly as convoluted as the original for entering routes.  From what I've experienced so far, these aren't romantic routes like the original either.

@Optic there are alternate endings, just not romantic in nature from what I've experienced.  Don't know if that would be a make or break deal for you.

The minigame was great...just really hard on some of the songs.

You mean like all of them xP

Only problem with this VN was the sound mini games which you can at least turn on auto though.  Everything else was amazing

I'd highly recommend playing one route of the VN before starting this as you really don't get to know any of the characters nearly as well, and the whole thing with WW3 is covered a lot better.  Regardless, still enjoying this anime quite a bit, and look forward to the rest of it.

Tower of Druaga: The Sword of Uruk

One of my favorite RTS games is on sale on steam.  Really fun game I've put over 300 hours into.  Feels like it has a bit more depth than Age of Empires II imo as well.

https://store.steampowered.com/app/204880/Sins_of_a_Solar_Empire_Rebellion/

It changes over the years.  Right now its Persona 5.  Last gen, Infinite Space DS was still at that #1 spot though.  I'd say for a game to get that high it has to be a game that is really fun/exciting, entertaining story, and that it consumes my thoughts even when not playing it.  One of the biggest thing that kills a game imo is when the developers expect the mid to late game to carry itself with putting noticeably decreased effort in that area.
