I crunched some numbers earlier  Apparently each When They Cry game averages to about 151,000 words and since I've played all 16 (well half of the 16th one) that would come to a total of 2,416,000 words.

That's over double the total length of the Harry Potter series.  Now I feel a little impressed by my reading.
Hence the extreme capacity to repeatedly keep you up too late.  I'm pretty sure I read several of the endings with birds singing outside.

Yeah it's 6:46am right now.  :\

EDIT:
"A TV anime series animated by Asread will premiere in fall 2011."  Woah woah what Mirai Nikki is getting an anime?!  Why not Hoshi no Samidare or something why Mirai Nikki?!  Argh.

I made a post about it a few pages back. Judging from the staff list, it will probably be pretty good.

Anyway with that finishing of the series I am animeless once more (yes I finished all the episodes in 2 days)

Though it sort of makes me want to watch the original Saint Seiya.

Nevermind there are more episodes... not sure how they can stretch it out. They already hit the end game.

Ok so the second REALLY stupid episode was 20...

I read two volumes of Elfen Lied and I can't consider this the best thing ever.  It has some maybe okay parts at best, but the rest is weak and I don't like it.  Maybe it'll get better but I might be saying that through the whole series.

So, after watching a Detective Conan episode and musing about the fact that you can do anything if you just have enough string (comon, six pieces??  These tricks are getting crazier) I started thinking about what Neonivek was saying a while ago about detectives causing crimes and why they're always on the scene.  Actually... there are some cases where they do actually canonically cause the crime, and others where their prescence at the crime scene isn't coincidental.  In essence, the reasons that seem to get used include

The detective actually caused the crime
- The fact that they're there causes tension among a group of criminals, and drives one of them to commit murder
- The detective somehow ignites some old tension, perhaps through a naive question, that leads to a murder
- The detective somehow forces the hand of the culprit (ie they were planning to do the crime later but for some reason the detective's prescence makes them put it forwards)

The detective was intentionally called to the crime
- The culprit is trying to use the detective as a witness to give them a supposedly rock solid alibi
- The culprit is trying to use the detective to verify the discovery of a corpse (and possibly a closed room)
- The culprit has mixed feelings about the crime and is using the detective as a sort of test (since they kindof want to be stopped or something)

So I guess that detectives only use their magical murder causing power in some cases.  Like the ones where they just randomly stop by a house where a bunch of murders happen.

Elfen Lied is generally considered really overrated nowadays.

"It was good years ago when we were 14 and thought it was deep."

Goodness it is about time.

Sure took a while though...

You're never the same as you were after a lot of things.

That reminds me. Keep watching Code Geass. >=D

Damn straight.

I'm like some fucking mutilated freak with toaster-testicles and light bulbs for eyes, and motor oil for tears.

I blame Japan.

Possibly as soon as someone realizes the ears and possible tail aren't costume accessories. :p

This is fighting hard with Darvi's anvil comment for my new sig. Why do you people have to all be silly at once?
