Ahh thanks.

So the first section are basically the fodder questions they give you to boost your score (I actually dislike tests without fodder questions with nothing but hard questions... It kind of gives you a misleading score.)

Not that I blame Serena, I stink with written languages... Though I seem to be able to pick it up phonetically much more easily.

Then again... I got exempted from secondary language requirements... Serena is just lazy (sort of... she is... but her later character suggests that she is more "in love with life" so to speak)

Also I find it odd how people complain about Sailormoon only using her sonic powers only once... Given that it was activated when she just lost it in a battle and started crying loudly. Something she really has only done once.

Yeah, tests with a gradient are better at giving a score which reflects the actual level you're at rather than "competent" vs "you suck" with nothing in the middle.

I found out yesterday my brother hasn't seen Spirited Away, so we watched it today.

I haven't seen the 2/3 most recent Ghibli films, I used to watch them as soon as they came out, I guess I've been slacking recently,

has anyone seen them? how are they?

I've seen all of them. I don't care for some of them, including Spirited Away (because I find the ghosts creepy, I can watch it but they make my skin crawl, such a cool movie), but I can totally appreciate them. They're all fantastic stories and have killer animation. I think my favorite is Porco Rosso. It's such an idyllic film with a really simple plot that I love.

You know what is odd? I remember liking spirited away, but not liking it for some reason... Though I can't seem to remember why... I think it had something to do with the plot.

Anyhow Spirited Away is a good movie. I do recommend it, but only if weirdness doesn't get in the way of you enjoying something. Which for someone like me who rarely finds things odd... doesn't.

In fact I like the fairy tale aspect of the whole thing.

Aldnoah Zero ep one has promise, let's hope it keeps up ep 1's interest levels.

didn't like Argevollen. well first half of the episode was ok until they brought out the "This is what the show is actaully about" stuff. Which I hated. It went from gritty to lame really fast.

Rail Wars looks fun, at least it's not set in highschool. Real-life shows where the characters actually have a job are rare.

Glasslip is the PA Works eye-candy slice of life show for the season, I'm kind 50/50 on this one though.

Barakamon - looking awesome, slice of life, male main character. Reminds of Silver Spoon, just slightly.

Gekkan Shoujo Nozaki-kun - I thought this was going to be a harem from the coverart, turns out it's more towards shoujo romcom, pretty funny so far.

Finished catching up on Claymore, what the hell, give me more.
I can't see this story going on for more than one more volume based on current plot points.

So, I've watched two episodes of Mahouka. And I have to say, it's pretty bad. It's not as bad as everyone says it is, but it's still really bad.

Mahouka's biggest problems become apparent the longer you watch. It's the repetition of lame plotlines, huge inconsistencies between the arcs, more and more unbelievable stuff piled up.

When I finish watching this, I will write up a drinking game. I will then invite my friends and we will marathon it while playing said drinking game.

We will probably die of alcohol poisoning.

Don't die from this anime, there's better things to die from.

I've watched more of Mahouka.

God, this is terrible. I have a new appreciation for Bleach. I mean, sure it dragged on, but at least it wasn't this.
