Well, the Haruhi one was probably an intentional, non-rippy-offy reference... but who knows, hey?

[Leafsnail]

It's an image edit.

[Darvi]

The resemblance is so striking it's not even funny anymore.

Wait, what metaphor was I going for again?

Also how do you read the books? The one place where I found them translated had them removed when I was midway through 9.

[ToonyMan]

During the Endless Eight arc the LN even references Higurashi, at least I think it does, which totally makes sense given the time it was written, the time the arc takes place, and what's happening during the arc...

In the LN they just do loop #15,498 and he gets out fine.

OH WELL NEVER MIND THEN

Ironically enough the second loop in the anime was loop 15498, I think. One must be wondering what KyoAni must've been thinking adding all the other episodes except maybe for "UMAD?"

PDF all the way man.  I read all of Fate/zero with a PDF reader because I'm cheap.  You can find downloads of translated versions on sites like Baka-Tsuki and BakaBT.  I like it a lot better than reading from a website they could EXPLODE or something.

Jan 20, 2010 - The English copyright holder Hachette Book Group has requested the removal of all licensed material. In compliance with their request, all infringing material has been deleted, and this project is now abandoned.

What I was talking about :<

Ah well. Shit happens.

[ToonyMan]

I guess I have to point out the obvious.

Yare yare

There's also EPUB but I'm unfamiliar with it.

[Boksi]

So on a whim, I watched all of Carnival Phantasm except the Castle Special, as well as the first four episodes of Fate Zero.

Must be pretty good to hold my attention for this long. Gotta sleep now, though.

So I finally finished Trials and Tribulations, and I have to say, that was the most bizarrely emotional and yet most thoroughly complete ending to a game I've seen in a long time.

I'm not sure if the next one in the series is Edgeworth: Investigations or Apollo Justice.

Though I might just pick up another series by the same people, entitled Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective.

[ToonyMan]

Apollo Justice would be next, then Investigations.

You'll have to wait for a translation of Investigations 2 though, with me.

Holy crap the 'G.' route in Melty Blood is amazing.

Spoiler: I'm not mad I got completely annihilated either (click to show/hide)

This music is amazing.  Somebody needs to make a gif of her special move here.

Spoiler: I love you G. route (click to show/hide)

THIS IS ILLOGICAL /me collapses on the floor

Jegus fuck G-Akiha is impossible how do I even do this

I HAVE DONE IT, ALL HAIL SHIKI-SAMA

Woah, I just tried Melty Blood ReACT, I don't think I ever want to go back to the old engine.  French Bread are amazing.  In ReACT it's like I'm tearing down the other guys throat.  Shiki vs. Nanaya fights are amazing.

CUTO CUTO CUTO CUTO CUTO CUTO CUTO CUTO

Yes I finished pretty much every route in Melty Blood, the very last one involves defeating G-Akiha again so I'll just stick with ReACT now. 

ReACT has the same exact routes as the original version but with this newer engine I should be able to annihilate everything.


Finished Shiki's arcade route in ReACT

Spoiler: then I... (click to show/hide)

fought Aoko in the grass field.

And now the Mahōtsukai no Yoru demo is out, perfect.  Beat them then play them I guess.

A watched all of X-Men: Evolution and it struck me how truly limited most western animation is.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

In the whole series wolverine never takes any visible damage, despite the fact that he can survive anything.

The animation often clearly shows wolverine going for a kill, and he misses every time. Not only does he miss, but they have to warp the animation and bend him in odd ways to get him to miss.

In the whole series, there are only 5 apparent "deaths", 4 by the ultimate bad guy and 1 (re-murder) by a troubled good gal. Its ok, because they all get better. You would think the "good guys" would have had something to say about one of their own pushing a helpless person off a cliff in a moment of rage. But I guess it is also possible the witnesses never told anyone given the circumstances.

I need to find Exo-squad on DVD somewhere, I heard they finally published it. That was a western cartoon that didn't hold anything back. Though I suspect nostalgia will not be kind to the old animation in that show.

FATE/ STAY NIGHT IS FINALLY FINISHED

193 hours played.  Goddaaaaaamn.  Well it's had a lots of ups and downs but the endings were good (with one exception).  And somehow the music got way better and suddenly introduced new tracks on the last day.  Argh it's like it ends in such a way that you just can't bring yourself to hate it at the end.  Anyway, time to announce the winner of the "dead/bad ends tally".

Spoiler: Kills analysis - Spoilers for all routes (click to show/hide)

In first place, with 6 kills/ whatever each are Ilya, Rider, Sakura and Saber (well, she kindof has 5.5 since one was a union attack.  It's worth noting that over half her kills are from when she isn't Dark Saber).  All from people who are supposedly my allies.  Thanks guys.

In the "Serious antagonists" category, Gilgamesh is the winner with 2 kills.  Seriously.  Both of those dead ends are caused by Shirou giving up.  True Assassin, Zouken and Kotomine are in second place in this category with 1 kill each.

So... keep your enemies far away, and your friends further away still?

[ToonyMan]

I don't think anybody could have a playtime lower than 150 hours, tops.  It's kind of ridiculous how long it is because some parts are horribly awful while others are pretty cool.
