SoTa, I am buying this game this November, and you are too.

We shall play each other on PS3, since I don't have a vita....

I've known about this game for years. I have been so excitingly waiting for it.

I am going to master every single character. And be known as a god with Taiga. :3

I am really sad that they don't have Hei from DTB.

Oh well, Rentarou it is.

EDIT: The supports are hilarious.

Freaking Mao from the Devil is a Part Timer is on there

You know Aldnoah definitely hit a rough spot in that stretch between episodes 4-7 but I can't deny that the development of the last few episodes has been quite entertaining. Looking forward to seeing how this one wraps up next week. Gotta wait until January for part 2 of the series to air though.



I wish those supports had replaced some of their choices for actual playable characters. I would have loved to have used Mao or Holo the Wise Wolf (Spice & Wolf assist) or Celty over generic shounen protagonist #1-3. Dude from Durarara, Basketball loli, Taiga, and the chick from Railgun are all good picks in my book though.

So, after tons of request, I tried Fairy Tail again, but this time skipping the first few episodes of fluff. The way Fairy Tale introduces the series is done poorly for me, it doesn't interest mature viewers at all, completely aiming at the pre-teen demographics, which is how most anime are.

And most anime continue to be that way, but FT takes this tried and true method of anime story telling and adds depths, many depths, and it's found in every character, even side characters.

By the first season alone you'll of gotten to know everyone through trial and error before you get to know them through there history, and this builds familiarity between characters and viewer - We got to know who they are, then find out why. Sometimes we don't even know there's anything to find out, you'll of felt like you got to know a character already, then bam, you find a new side of them.

It's as if the writer wrote the story from the moment they were born and continued to write until we're at where we are now. All the complexity of a lasting relationship and the budding/losing of interest and common themes with others, it's just great to behold.

Where Naruto and One Piece rely on intense action and drama to drive literally everything, Fairy Tail has other tricks up it sleeves to entertain a wider variety of audiences then other mainstream anime have accomplished.

I am only 1 season in, and this is my opinion thus far. I'll let you guys know if anything changes. :3

Summary: FT has a rocky start, coming off as a naruto clone feeding off of peoples need for flashy colors that collide but the show quickly catches pace 5 episodes in and begins unfolding the characters rather then story - ultimately making an action/drama show have slice of life and romance qualities, creating a unique watching experience.

So far - the show is 8/10 for me, if they put anymore focus on Romance that is there and is developing between the characters it'll be bumped up in score.

There was a point where I really wanted a Fairy Tail tattoo.

Show's great. I'm also caught up to everything but the season that just aired. Might start that arc while waiting for F/SN

See I actually think that Fairy Tail's opening arcs are probably its strongest and that sometime after they met the Metal Dragonslayer (in fact immediately after) the quality of the manga went downhill. How many times did they "power of friendship" their way through the battle with the death dragon thing on that random island? How many times were they beaten down senselessly only to get back up with willpower in a single battle? I think at that point I was seriously considering dropping but I was interested to see where the author was going to take the story after the time skip.

And then instead of dealing with the consequences of Fairy Tail being totally outclassed by new guilds they instead throw a DBZ Plot Guru in our way and "unlock the potential" of our heroes and heroines. I noped my way out the door and never looked back.

You cannot watch a show like Fairy Tail and not expect 'unlocked' powers. And I can tell it isn't really a problem for you, since you enjoyed the Iron Dragon, pinky gets powered up by red head before he engaged that 'revealed his hidden potential' revealing a fire dragon surrounding him. If the enemies get tougher, the good guys need to get tougher too.

And it's the ark right after Iron Dragon I fell for - Leo's short story was very enjoyable, watching him open up and Lucy share the companionship the other instilled in her from the Iron Dragon ark was wonderful. The story itself, if that's your focus, is completely cliche. I have seen these stories before a million times already, even the island village. *Black Star Naru anyone?*

But let's be real - anime stories completely rely on characters rather then plot to build interest and move a story along. And Fairy Tails characters all shine. I can't name any that annoy. And I felt true emotion for so many of the characters in the Dragon Iron Ark I was surprised. Everyone from the card girl to the guy with the smokes - all of them opened up and cried there own tears for there own reasons loving those around them in there own way that doesn't feel like it's there to fit a cliche personality.

I don't accept that we should compromise between having enjoyable characters or having a plot that actually attempts to make sense. Especially when there are so many examples of shows/manga that know how to handle both ends of the spectrum without crippling themselves in the process.

It's not that there's a compromise, more so then this is how these industries have chosen to appeal to there audiences.

Hollywood just can't sell a character like anime can, and so anime puts more focus on that character, giving us what we want. Often times this is what leads to directors ultimately changing the plot away from the original manga.

Anime simply don't do plots well, if you want a strong plot, read the manga, anime corrupts it to appeal to it's target audience.

By the way, anyone watch RWBY?

what is that

what is that

Dont be dissing my girl Cana Alberona or Gildarts will kick your ass. Not to mention she has big boobs and likes to drink.

A show that has voices that sound like the girls from Bratz.

That alone is stopping me from watching it.

On crunchyroll, it's kinda different. Have not watched more than the first episode, yet.
