Second page now.

I've pretty much done all I can think of without a better idea of what I should put in the Biography section.

[superBlast]

((Um. Not to be rude, but Madoka wasn't exactly a fanservice-oriented show. It was, however, about the greatest drink ever made. Though if your only exposure has been through doujins...))

((Well... I was just trying to be funny... didn't really mean much by it. Though I really was asking that question out of curiosity.))

((I'm not sure if I remember any specific mention in canon of why they were all-female, but I do remember that in that verse a shitload of famous historical figures were magical girls. If I had to guess a real-world reason, it would be because the show was a deconstruction of Magical Girl tropes, and male magical girls is already something of a deconstruction. Sort of like how having a purely human conflict loaded with War is Hell themes in Evangelion would have been redundant.))

We have our winners! I'll post everything that's relevant to them, then the rest of you guys at the bottom.

Diane Gounaris (Harry Baldman)
Power Level: 4
-1 DEX, -1 INT, -1 WIL, 34 max SP, +2 exp required per level

Gretchen W. Gardener (GreatWyrmGold)
Power Level: 5
-1 DEX, -1 WIL, 36 max SP, +1 exp required per level
Her bio is a little lacking, but I understand I was vague. In addition to the next part of the submission, give more details on her school and home life.

I chose these two because I thought they'd make the most interesting duo. We had a lot of downtrodden girls, and I didn't want to pick two of them. Now you two have a little more work to do before you're done signing up.

It's been 4-5 months since you guys contracted. You both made your wish within the same week, and Kyubey led you guys into each other. He says you'll have a better chance of surviving together.

I would like it if you guys didn't become best friends instantly. I picked you cause I thought you two wouldn't get along together super well, but your situation forces you together. That said, I also think it would be pretty dumb for you to hate each other. I'm sure there are a variety of interesting options between those two.

You two should cooperate to make your biographies work together as well as possible. This is due at the very end of the character creation process, so you guys have the longest time to think through this. Make use of it.

The Original Pair - Part 2
got changed, updated one is here

Other Submission Critiques

Spoiler: Wwolin (click to show/hide)

You got really unlucky. If I was just picking two in a vacuum, I'd have picked you and Harry Baldman, but I was picking for the pair as a whole. This could quite easily make it in for the next round with minimal editing.

Spoiler: scapheap (click to show/hide)

This is a good start, but it needs fleshed out. Tone down the gang thing, making it 10-12 members at most. These are sad little girls, not crime lords. And put in a few more sentences. Maybe about her life growing up in the church, her life at school (say, the events leading up to her forming the gang), or how she came to like some of her interests.

Clair's (you really like that name, don't you?) situation stands out from the rest, and with some fleshing out I can see her making a unique addition to the party.

Spoiler: Flying Dice (click to show/hide)

It's very well written, but pretty unremarkable. If you want to maximize your chances of getting picked, make her more than just a shy girl. I don't see much significant development here for her. If you can work that in, she'll be a great character.

Spoiler: superBlast (click to show/hide)

I know we're in Anime New York, but "as loli as loli can be" is giving me weird vibes. I mean, looking young for her age is fine. Just... put it differently.

That said, it seems her character is more focused around looking like a little girl who can kick your ass than an actual roleplaying personality. You've got a detailed appearance down, just add more about her now than her hobbies.

And now I'm opening the next round of signups, for the next two girls. Don't tailor your characters to what I was looking for in the original pair. I'm looking for very different things here. For instance, I definitely won't want contrast between the two quite as much.

Do not edit your previous post if you're resubmitting. Make a new one after this post. I'm only going to look at stuff after this post for submissions, and I'd like to keep the previous drafts of any resubmissions just because I find that interesting.
The Friends (0/2)
Name:
Age: 13-15 only for these two
Physical Appearance:
Family:
Interests:
Biography up to before you met the other one: Specification - At the time the game starts, you two are going to be close friends. You've known each other for 1-3 years. But since you don't know who the other girl will be, don't write any of that yet.

[superBlast]

((Alright I'll change a lot of it up.))

Name: Gale Flagg
Age: 15
Physical Appearance: Short and tends to be mistaken to be a lot younger then she actually is. Long white hair, Orange eyes, nothing else of particular interest.
Family: Grandparents(mother's side)(in the apartment next door), mother(Nurse), father (he's dead though), older brother (lives on his own but nearby, visits the family every once in a while. Goes to college).
Interests: Video games, and martial arts.
Biography up to before contract: Gale is a pretty hardcore gamer that plays all sorts of games and is quite good at most of them. She also practices martial arts at the karate dojo that a few blocks from where she lives where she recently got her black belt. Gale quite well known throughout her school, not because she's popular, but because she almost looks like a kid and stands out because of it. Much to Gale's dismay since while every girl her age and can pass themselves off as being 18 or so, or at the very least being a high schooler, she's stuck being treated like a kid. Even by people that knows she's not.

She tends to be a loner but not by choice but rather she tends to not be very good at talking and thus not good at making friends. Which is another thing she dislikes about herself since she actually likes talking. In fact once she is able to, she'll talk forever. Though that rarely happens. She's just glad to have at least one close friend now despite her loner tendencies. (Has even had a few years where she didn't have any friends at all and just had a few acquaintance.) Though she does take pride in being a good at video games and being able to defend herself if the need ever arises. Sometimes she even boasts about it. She also rather enjoys winning over new people in the dojo she goes to who don't her seriously (especially when they treat her as a kid).

She also tends to be pretty lazy about anything that doesn't interest her, which puts her grades quite low for never doing her homework. Though once she finds something that does interest her (usually but not always it's a video game) she'll pursue it actively until she finally get's bored some time later. The only thing that she hasn't lost her interest in is karate.

((Is this any better?))

Alrighty then, Willamina Woodson round II

Spoiler: Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Willamina Woodson
Age: 14
Physical Appearance: A girl with a thin build, roughly 5' 7", wearing a pair of cargo pants and a black T-shirt, along with a grey fleece-lined coat. Her medium length hair is light brown, with a few grey hairs if you look closely, no doubt brought on by the stress of having to deal with her younger siblings all the time. Her brown eyes have an almost hypnotic quality to them, and she almost always has dark rings around them from lack of sleep. Her skin is currently ever so slightly brown, although she tans so easily that she could nearly pass as Hispanic after a trip to the beach (if she could only get that accent right), and be an almost sickly shade of pale a few weeks later.
Family: Mother, younger brother, younger stepbrother, younger stepsister, stepfather
Interests: All varieties of art, but especially interested and talented in music. Also has a love of physics and learning how the world works.
Biography up to before contract: Willamina's life has been somewhat of an adventure, even back to her conception. Her biological father was staggeringly drunk one night, and through several feats of sheer stupidity (perhaps the most famous of which was wrestling a bear), managed to catch the eye of Willamina's mother, a young woman from the city who had never gone to college, for fear that her family wouldn't be able to do without her. Any old fool can guess what happened next, and nine months later, Willamina was born in a hospital owned by the local university. It's a fortunate thing that she was born in a hospital instead of at home like her father wanted, for a slight birth defect caused her esophagus to be attached to her left lung rather than her stomach. The surgical procedure to correct this wasn't anything major, but it left Willamina with weak lungs and a long curved scar across her back, which later became the subject of many locker-room conversations. Upon seeing the hospital bill for this, her father left without ever marrying her mother, leaving Willamina a legal bastard, a fact that she takes a strange sort of pride in.

Growing up was surprisingly easy for Willamina. She was a smart girl, reading chapter books at age four, and her grandmother carried her around and doted on her so frequently that her feet almost never touched the ground. Her father even came back for a time, but only long enough to impregnate her mother with another child, this one a boy. Osmond, as her brother was called, wasn't treated to the same first-baby splendor as Willamina, but he leeched just enough attention away from everyone to make Willamina jealous. The two often fought, and at one point Osmond was hit so hard that it left a permanent scar on the back of his head. But Willamina soon grew fond of her brother, and the two were soon inseparable, always getting into some sort of trouble.

Elementary school for Willamina was dull. She could already read better than some of the teachers, and understood most math problems at a glance. She made a few friends, but wasn't what you would call popular or unpopular. She was just there, more part of the scenery than part of the conversation, always having her nose buried in some scientific book. She was never a fan of fantasy, claiming that if something couldn't happen to you, then it wasn't worth reading about. Near the end of fifth grade, her mother started dating a man named Fred, who also had two kids, a boy and a girl, named Harold and Francisca, both of whom were slightly younger than Osmond. Fred and her mother soon married, and Willimina found that Fred was really more of a zany older brother than a father figure.

Willamina's family moved just before middle school started in order to make room for a larger family, and she left all of her old friends behind. Fortunately, she joined the school's band, and soon found that she was quite talented at the flute. She earned a good reputation within the band, and found that she could keep people entertained for hours on end with stories about her life. While she had several acquaintances because of this, she had very few true friends, although they did exist. Her grades dropped slightly, not because she wasn't smart, but because she couldn't find the time to do homework. She also developed an interest in several anime series around this time, always favoring the stoic wordless characters and prim and proper servants over the chatty protagonists, who she said were too naive to be realistic.

During the summer break before high school, Willamina attended band camp so that she could join the school marching band. It wasn't anything like some movies would lead one to believe, and she soon became fast friends with a pair of twins named Peter and Maria. The three of them spent most of their time together, and after camp ended, they could always be found at Willamina's house, working on crazy schemes to buy countries or start companies, none of which ever came to fruition. As the last few days of summer wound down, Willamina reluctantly worked to gather her school supplies, jog her memory, and even build up a bit of a tan to try and get a certain guy (much to Peter's chagrin) to notice her.

The bolded selection is kind of a vague reference to the other character. If they knew each other for a few years, then I figured it would be in middle school. If there's anything that needs changing, just tell me and I'll see what I can do.

I have a feeling that this thread will be very amusing to watch.

Spoiler:  Character Sheet (click to show/hide)

Name: Alice Irrisor
Age: 15
Physical Appearance: Average height, somewhat slim with long ultraviolet hair and bright blue eyes.
Family: Father, Mother, Elder Brother and Younger Sister.
Interests: Literature, Social interaction, Psychiatry
Biography: Alice's memories of her early childhood are rather hazy, though her recollections of this unremarkable phase of her life are quite clear from piecing together information from her friends and family. She was adopted as a baby by her family and had a stable upbringing. Though her parents initially tried to hide her past from her due to their silent, mutual trepidation that the truth would bring tumult and disassociation into her early childhood. These fears would soon prove to be unwarranted: sentimentalism was not a trait that Alice possessed. She didn't care that her family was not her own nor did she seek to find the identities of the parents she never truly met. Instead, upon the revelation of this fact, she thanked the people she considered to be her family for their concern. If the rest of her family life could be summed up in a single word, that word would be "idyllic", she had good relations with her sister and could converse with her brother surprisingly well despite the age difference (when he was at home that is, he tended to spend great lengths of time studying by himself in a nearby library where he could get some peace and quiet). She picked up various skills from both her mother and father and their respective careers though she didn't show any interest in a specific career path in that point in time.

She did relatively well in her education with marks slightly above average though she never stood out that much, at least not for that particular reason. She had a certain charismatic amicability that allowed her to gain several friends quickly. Alice's understanding for the subtle, capricious projections of emotion that allowed her to consistently actuate her serene aura unbeknownst to anyone at that time where the early symptoms that acted as harbingers for the turmoil that followed.

In hindsight, it had a certain farcical comedy to it. After all, she lived her life until then, unperturbed, releasing a kaleidoscope of ardor and yet this same kaleidoscope would soon be transmuted into a phantasmagoria.

At the age of 12, Alice was diagnosed with a mild case of psychopathy. It could've been worse, Alice's condition only resulted in slightly shallower emotions rather than anything that would be detrimental to her relations. Her friends stood by her in this difficult time yet the diagnosis had already sown the seeds of self-doubt. Alice began to reflect on everything she had ever done, everything she said and every facet of her past as she was caught inside an abyss of uncertainty. She recalled that she had always followed her heart yet she knew that it could have just been a lie. A lie so intricate that it convinced not only her peers but herself. Who was she? Was she a person or was she just a deluded facade to a cold, calculating persona? Agonizingly slowly, she began to withdraw from society, shutting herself away from everyone she knew. She found solace in literature; after all, she could never lie consciously or unconsciously to empty constructs of ink and paper. Perhaps she was similar to them: nothing more than an empty shell. Despite this all, she found that aspects of her nature continued to linger, even without the presence of anyone else she didn't change. Perhaps she wasn't a lie after all.

This spark of hope soon reignited her vitality. Slowly, she began to recover. Once again, she found happiness in the thoughts and emotions of others. She started to enjoy some of the compositions she read, especially Goethe's masterpiece, Faust.

Reestablishing and reforging her former bonds, she returned to her initial social circumstances. Her interest in literature allowed her English marks to rise significantly and she soon discovered that she had an interest in psychiatry, through a combination of effort, independent research and reading, she began to study psychiatry outside of school. She is now once again content with her life, though admittedly part of her still wonders how brighter life could be without psychopathy filtering her emotions.

Name:Clair Razor
Age: 14
Physical Appearance:A rather small girl of 4 foot with snow white hair done in pig tails and red eyes. pale skin. Wears black clothes.
Family:Unknown, doorstep baby. Father Dark is the closest to a father figure she has.
Interests:Insects, bread making, running a gang and story writing.
Biography up to before you met the other one: Abandon on the doorstep of the John the baptist' church, Clair was raise by the priest there, father Gregory Dark, and is a quiet girl with a large imagination.

Dues to lack of funds, the church tends to be overrun with insects of all different types. Clair look after them because they are interesting and has grown so used to their presents she often turn up to school with three or four of them on her simply because she does not notice them. Her bread making came about as a coping method, kneading the dough is great for stress release and it hard to worried about anything with the smell of freshly baked bread.

 At the age of 10, she watched the local bully picking on other students(and herself leading to the bread making) and after going through several plans, she started a school gang called Black Bible to ruin the bully and discover she liked ruling over people.

Now 14, BB is still going strong, with eight members, mostly girls with one guy, with Clair at the top and she still hasn't told Father Dark about her hobby and some strange talking cat(the talking part was not strange, this is new york, half the animals have been mutated, evolve or are humans turn into animals) just gave her and a close friend a contact.

[Flying Dice]

Spoiler: Round 2 (click to show/hide)

Name: Elizabeth Evans
Age: 14
Physical Appearance: Elizabeth stands 4'10", and is rather willowy. Her hair, a dulled cornflower-blue, cascades loosely to just above her shoulder blades. Her face is narrow, with a strong chin and small nose. Elizabeth's skin is so pale as to be nearly translucent; the network of blood vessels in her arms and hands is clearly visible. Her coal-black eyes are close set, with a tendency to sparkle with repressed mirth. She dresses mostly in trousers and t-shirts, with well-worn shoes.
Family: Elizabeth lives with her father, William, and younger sister, Alicia, in a small flat. Her father is a detective, and Alicia is in primary school.
Interests: Literature, botany, swimming.
Biography up to before contract: Elizabeth and her family have lived in New York since before her mother died. Elizabeth spends much of her free time caring for her sister, as the nature of their father's job necessitates large amounts of time away from home while working cases. Because of this, Elizabeth has gradually become something of a shut-in, finding friends in paper and ink. This lead, tangentally, to her interest in botany, which was originally theoretical, but soon grew to encompass a number of window boxes, and, recently, a small grow-tray and light in her closet. The idea of nourishing something and watching it grow into something beautiful is the heart of her efforts here. By chance, she happened to stumble onto the topic while talking with a classmate in her school's library, creating a fledgling friendship through this shared passion. She usually can't remember her friend's name, but she will never forget the feeling of warmth and belonging when they're spending time together, not least because of how her friend reminds her of Mother. Friend is her only friend, not because she doesn't want friends, you see, but because something always seems to get in the way. It's nice to talk to Friend about things they both enjoy, and Friend is always kind enough to remind Elizabeth of her name.

She would perhaps be a good student if she payed attention, but the best that could be said about Elizabeth is that she does well on something she has already investigated on her own. On a trip to visit distant relatives in Washington state, Elizabeth found that she quite adored the water, though she has few chances to swim in New York. Her days in school are mostly spent skipping class to read in the library or visit parks, though she attends enough to keep her grades up, not that that's particularly difficult with the public school system.

At the start of this unfortunate chain of events, Elizabeth is a girl who, while somewhat alone, has distracted herself sufficiently to be content with that loneliness. She lives her life day by day, trying to keep her mind on what she loves, rather than what she does not have. Apart from her one friend and infrequent bits of time spent with her father, Elizabeth's primary personal interactions are with her sister, Alicia. Elizabeth has, in some ways, become as much of a parent to her sister as Mother or their father, William. Above all else she wishes to keep her sister happy and safe.

Oh, and for the record: I am working on Gretchen. It's just that I'm encountering writer's block. I'll submit at least a rough draft within a couple hours.
I suppose part of the problem is my lack of understanding about what's needed/expected, but I'm working on that by rereading/reading more thoroughly others' backstories and basically writing in anything that fits and makes sense to include.

[GreatWyrmGold]

We have our winners! I'll post everything that's relevant to them, then the rest of you guys at the bottom.

...

Gretchen W. Gardener (GreatWyrmGold)

Holy carp!

Name: Gretchen W. Gardener (hey, it's a nice acronym!)
Age: 15
Appearance: Gretchen has large, red eyes which draw most peoples' attention. Her dark black hair would be thick and wavy if she didn't cut it so short; it's maybe a centimeter, tops, possibly half that. She is pretty thin, especially at the waist. Gretchen wears blacks and blues, often both colors at once, as well as several bracelets (not all at once, but usually not only one or two at once either).
Family: Includes Mother, Father, Elder Brother (deceased), Younger Sister, Maternal Grandmother
Interests: Science Fiction, Entomology, Thrills, Literature
Personality: Secretive and tricky. Typically more likely to hide her strengths than show them off. Obfusticates clumsiness when not around anything important. Despite this, pretty kind. Generally speaks her mind when not lying.
Bio: Gretchen was born to a fairly well-off family. She always had too much free time, a lot of which was spent with her older brother. Dan wasn't a good influence. While Gretchen never got into the kind of trouble her brother did, she does enjoy causing mischief. Despite this, Gretchen is a kind girl when people or certain kinds of animals get involved, and she always tries to stop her mischief before people actually get hurt; these are due to the more gentle influence of her father, a Christian who tries to raise his children to be moral and disciplined, which was more successful with each child. In contrast, her mother was often at work or something, and when at home her standards were high; this, in turn, lead Gretchen to work hard at her studies.
At school, Gretchen mostly stuck to her own group of friends, including a few other girls who enjoyed her general sense of humor. Gretchen was typically the one who kept the group on the less dark side; the others were either more shy or more apathetic. Aside from this group, she hung out with some sort-of nerds; while she didn't initially like them much more than anyone else, she wasn't as good a student as she thought her mom would want her to be, and so studied with them. It was here that she picked up her enjoyment of science fiction and certain select sciences.
Not quite a year before the Contract, Daniel enlisted in the army*; this was an emotional time for Gretchen, due to her close relationship with her brother.
Yeah, this will probably need to be expanded more.

Description of the Situation of the Contract: The strange creature which granted her wish
Wish: After considering "I wish you would not grant this wish," "I wish I didn't have to be a magical girl," "I wish for omnipotence," and "I wish I could go to Hogwarts," Gretchen decided to think about it before actually making the wish. She got home and noticed her mother home early. It turns out, Daniel had been killed. Gretchen was glad she hadn't wasted her wish on any petty thing like messing around with the Powers-That-Be or Hogwarts, and promptly wished Daniel was alive again.
Life since: Well, evidently that wasn't as easy as it sounded...Gretchen was grief-stricken and wouldn't listen, so eventually the wish was granted as far as the creature could. Which wasn't far. Needless to say, this traumatized Gretchen, her family, and her brother's unit all the more. Understandably, Gretchen felt a bit...displeased about this situation. Specifically, she felt cheated...she wanted her brother back, but got nothing. Gretchen also doesn't understand the importance of her work. Hence, she's been doing everything she can to fulfill the letter of her agreement while violating the spirit, to get some petty vengeance. I suppose I'd need to know a bit about what my "partner" is writing up before I get into more detail.
Trust: Well, Diane may be a bit...off, but she's friendly. Gretchen feels a bit protective of Diane, in part because of her frankly terrible life so far, in part because of her slightly lesser magical power, and perhaps in part because something about her reminds Gretchen of Jane. Again, more on this when I see how Diane trusts Gretchen.

Magical Weapon: A blue hand crossbow. It has a blue crystal resembling Gretchen's soul gem at the base of the grip. It has a spidery design of black lines running across the main part and the bow part is jointed like arthropod legs. The bolts are simple wooden ones, made from sticks by Gretchen when no one's looking. When fired, the bolts can turn into a wide variety of things, from fire to centipedes.
Magical Outfit: When Gretchen is on magical girl business, she wears a navy blue...shirt, I guess?...and a matching skirt. Under this is a pair of baby blue leggings, over which are some black shoes. Enveloping this whole ensemble is a hooded cloak as black as her hair, which grows almost long enough to reach the floor during transformations. (Not that it shrinks afterwards; she carries some good hair-cutting clippers in her normal clothes.) She wears several large, elaborate bracelets on the outside of her sleeves, most with stones the same size, shape, and color of her Soul Gem (a dark sapphire), but her actual Soul Gem is on the back inside of her hood.

I hope scapheap gets in soon; I just noticed Clair's interest in insects. I think that the two of them would get along pretty well...
Anyways. An hour earlier than guessed, give or take several minutes. Critiques and lore help?

EDIT: And I hope Harry's girl is a lot more cheerful and not-crappy than mine after the wish.
LATER EDIT: Well...a little.

[penguinofhonor]

This is my biggest uncertainty. In case you haven't gathered, I don't know much about Puella Magi whatever-you-call-it, or any other Magical Girl shows, and TV Tropes doesn't help either. I'm not even sure what is making the contracts.

Oooohhhhhh. Somehow I didn't recognize this as a possibility. Well, I'm going to spoil everything about the anime for you so I hope you don't mind. this is Kyubey. He's an alien, from a race with no emotions, also known as an Incubator.

His race was looking for ways to battle the heat death of the universe (i.e. when all the energy in the universe drains into the empty space and the universe just sits there for eternity), and somehow they happened upon Earth, where they discovered that the emotions of young girls carried tremendous power that could be harvested. So they started making them into magical girls to optimize the process.

The contract starts out with a wish. The girl accepts it and gets whatever she wants via Kyubey's so-advanced-it's-basically-magic alien technology, but in exchange she has to fight witches (Kyubey doesn't phrase it like a contract requirement typically, more like you have a duty/obligation to fight against evil). Kyubey then harvests the energy from the happiness her wish brings her. Unfortunately, though, there's some rule that states all changes in happiness must have an equivalent amount of unhappiness. This usually results in the girl's wish getting turned on its head. Kyubey does not tell the girl this will happen, as he's a master of lies through omission.

In becoming a magical girl, the girl's soul is placed into her soul gem. This allows Kyubey to repair damage to her body that would normally be lethal, as her life is not contained to it. Unfortunately, if the soul gem gets further than about 50m from the body, the girl cannot control it and her body dies. She's pretty much forced to have it on her for the rest of her life. Her soul gem is drained over time through living and fighting, and can only be recharged through the use of grief seeds, which are left behind by defeated witches. Kyubey eats emptied grief seeds through a compartment in his back.

The combination of sad crap and stress that magical girls go through often sends them into despair and inevitably drains their soul gems. When empty, her soul gem turns into a grief seed and she becomes a witch. Witches are great for Kyubey, as they cause a lot of sadness through their general destruction and trickery, giving him even more emotion to harvest for energy. But witches left unchecked would probably do horrible things to Earth's population, so magical girls are sent to kill them. This makes an endless cycle.

Your character would not know all of this. Kyubey lies through omission pretty much constantly. He has no emotions - in his race, they're seen as a weakness or sickness - and therefore isn't opposed to sending a girl off to her death if it benefits him, which it usually does. Your character, depending on how inquisitive she is, might know that she'll die if she stops fighting witches, that magical girls exist to save the universe, or that her body exists independent of her soul, but he'll typically only tell you information you need to know or any information that might make you continue fighting witches instead of giving up.

The Attribute Points...that should be the six from starting out, plus one per level past first, so a total of 10 from levels rather than 2, right?

Six from starting out, plus one from each even level. Did I say differently in the OP?

[GreatWyrmGold]

Don't say I didn't try to warn you...

all I know about magical girls comes from TV Tropes.

I should be able to do this better now, though.

-----

I missed the "even." So...I get a total of 8 points to spend, correct?

[penguinofhonor]

Yep!

Also I'm rewatching the series now, just to iron out any details I may have missed or gotten wrong. I plan on finishing it before I start the campaign. Things in general are subject to change before then.

[superBlast]

I've decided to watch the anime since this thread made me wonder why I dropped it after episode 1 even though a lot of people like it and now I remember why... but I'm ended up watching past it anyways just to see if it got any more interesting to me. I just watched the end of episode 3... my first reaction was to laugh my ass off at it lol. As fucked up as it to laugh at that... I just couldn't help it lol. Now I'm off finish up the rest of the show before this RTD starts up.
