Hahaha, yeah, it is of a type.

Hahaha. I'll count myself warned. Being a type on itself is not a deal breaker, so I'd give it a go.

You make a good point. The impact of those episodes would be lessened if they composed more of the show. None the less I find the protagonist's "mundane" school friends to be wildly more interesting than anything the Soma family is doing.

I cannot speak to whether the original or the remake is a better choice, having only watched the remake. I'd kinda like to go back and watch the original when I get the chance

It'd be interesting if you end up seeing the older series too and see how it compares in your opinion, specially if the Soma family is not getting your attention here.

I'm thinking that LS updated his name and avatar.

Thinking I really ought to have gotten my day started over an hour ago, but I got caught up in doing this.

That seems like an unhealthy investment of ego into media.

That's it.

Whether is inflated or you are feeling so insecure, you can't accept people disagreeing without seeing it as a personal attack.

I don't know, but I feel that for a lot of media it is encouraged you have strong feelings. Like, if you don't adore this anime it MUST mean you hate it. It can't just be "okay".

Fruit Baskets (older version) had been on my list for so long. I heard the newer one is more faithful to the original so I am now more inclined to try that version first.

So I don't know about the episodes, but maybe the impact in those episodes work because they only make the 20% of the series and the rest is to zone you out of that mood. That being said, sounds like they coukd do with more interesting stories or varied themes tying the episodes together.

To be honest, I've avoided it because typically the same people that swore I'd love Ouran High School said this was a must too, so I was kind of wary it wasn't going to be up my alley.

Its the only series that had received this treatment.

Nintendo resisted for quite a bit with Majora's Mask, but I guess that is because it was not as favored by people ehen it came for the N64. Besides the HD, there are so many spin offs and collabs nowadays with The Legend of Zelda. I have yet to play Tingle's ones. And... Wasn't there a Sonic game where he could be dressed in SS Link tunic?

I'm not sure. Maybe Ash Ketchum from Pallet Town. XD

For me it was one of the 90's anime. I believe it was Ranma 1/2. Hahaha.

Back then I didn't know much if anime and manga, but walking home from school I recognized the characters in a magazine shop so I kept buying them from time to time.

I think it has something to do with my new moderator rank :D

I was confused at first and I thought it's a bug. Kindly ignore my previous post.

Oooh, that makes sense.

No worries, Clara.

No dont, amazon doesn't know anything

They had a placeholder for the 3rd book of a book series since like 2014. I have been waiting on that book since 2011.

I think that they are trying to build interest or preorders.

My thoughts are that they simply like money and the sooner people preorder with them, the more people will have been hooked and even if they have wait until the item is out, the shop is already set, even if some cancel most of them will carry through. X/

I know I would....Zelda is the only game series, that people buy every generation, though they already own it on the previous releases. It is a cash cow for Nintendo and they must be to proud to keep milking us.

I don't know if it is the only, but it is definitely one of Nintendo franchises with fiercely loyal fans ready to own every release in every format. As a big fan I know I can't resist the siren call when there's a Zelda game involved. If Nintendo got SS, TP, tWW, OoT and MM in their switch, I'm going to be getting themas soon as I'm able to afford them.

Back to Skyward Sword HD...

I know I'm in the minority but I wouldn't mind using the joycons for the sword motions again. Provided that they are well calibrated and the aiming is motion control rather than pointing to the screen.

I wish we were active again. Those were fun days. :p

In a community that has been as long as this one, its unavoidable that there will be those times we won't have back, those are so great memories..

That being said, it is exciting to think that we can always get the ball rolling and create new memories.

I see the mass email has been taken care of.

Quote from Savvy~

I recognize a few people here so I must have been asked to sign up but I don't remember exactly because it was a long time ago. What I do remember, however, is I got an email from the admin team about posting again and when I went to go check out the forum it really caught my eye, so I hope to be active here again.

Hi, Savvy~

I am glad the email picked your interest enough to check us out. It could have been a long time ago, it has been over a decade since this website came to be, haha. So don't worry too much if you don't recall what brought you to join in the first place.

Looking forward to see you around the community any time.

I'd like Skyward Sword mostly because that one is a console generation behind now that the others are on the WiiU, but I agree that it has been a missed opportunity. These games could help the wait while they progress enough with BotW 2 and show updates, they wouldn't be nearly as much effort as SS, and from the looks of it a lot of people would really welcome the possibility of having Twilight Princess and The Wind Waker on their switch!

No way!
People are entitled to their opinions and it is quite normal we all don't enjoy the same things in the same way. My experiences have led me to feel fond about some anime, but that doesn't mean everyone should love it.

All I really want is to be respected just like I will respect people's right to their own opinion. Haters that try to force you to adopt their views by intimidating, threatening you if I'd have a beef with them would be because their actions, not because they don't like something I like a lot.

I feel like I've experienced that before, but I am not sure I can name an anime in specific that was guilty of this. I just feel like there was an annoying character joking while very serious situations were going on that would detract from them and their jokes weren't funny.

Sometimes people will hate something simply because its become too popular, they'll focus on their flaws and downplay the elements the anime gets right. When we enjoy something we talk about it and what we say set the expectations of other people. Death Note, Naruto, One Piece are such kind of anime that people might have tried them with a distorted idea of what to expect due to all the praise, and the bitter disappointment can be a reason why they flip against it and the people liking them, as they can't understand why is it seen with such a high regard or if they see why, they still consider that the anime doesn't deserve it.

To be honest I haven't really scored anything in a long time. Back then I usually just graded according to my own system, so I think my scores tended to be lower than the average score. I was I was a bit more strict back then. Though maybe is the other way around and now I am more cynical.

...

Depends on the anime, but I admit that it affects me more than ten minutes, more like some days if it was truly memorable.
Then again I am the same with games. I tend to think a lot about the piece I just finished even if I am not a mess that doesn't want to leave the room, hahah.

As in people disagreeing with my scores and having an argument with me? If so... Nah, it has neverhappened. No one cares about my scores. Hahah.

Or if you mean having second thoughts a while after having rating something on MAL, then I can alwyas update that review and score to reflect those changes or at least explain that I'm conflicted and explain what in the manga/anime is making me feel torn about the score to give it..
