What episode are we on, I'm on 8 (Later, Buddy).

by iclim4 Mon Dec 22, 2008 8:40 pm

Where's the comradery?
The "Together we stand, divided we fall"?
The "no man gets left behind"?
You watched 2 episodes in advance traitor!
Haha, that's the eps we're gonna be watching this friday.
Though, will you still be joining us this friday Ken?
Maybe you might want to rewatch it with us, just in case you missed some subtleties?
The more the merrier as you already know.

Yes I'll try to stop by but I'll be at my parents with very crappy unstable internet.

Hmm, to join y'all I need to watch the 3 episodes I'm behind...I don't promise much, I also have to watch the Heroes episode I have recorded. I dunno if I'll be there, I'll try to watch ep4, if it's not good, I think I won't come

by Luinil Tue Dec 23, 2008 9:56 am

sissy...

jk

In any case, to update where we are, we are watching eps 7-8 this FRIDAY, and 9-10 Next Thursday (like usual).

by iclim4 Wed Dec 24, 2008 12:37 pm

@Zex
Well that sucks, we talked about how awful episode 4 is a few days ago, and if that's the episode you're gonna base the whole series on to either sink or swim, then it's surely going to sink.
Though for what its worth it does get better.

@Ken
Good to have you on board. ^_^

by zex Fri Dec 26, 2008 10:53 am

I know Ep 4 is supposedly to be awful (guess what, it was for me, I even was fast-forwarding some parts because I was so bored), but I can't take this series anymore, for me the story is plain dull, the characters are annoying and overally it's not funny. I'm sorry, everyone, but this is as far as I go.

See y'all in Tylor.

By the way, when I finish Persona 4 I'm planning to start Code Geass, skeez fully recommended it, any thoughts on the anime from anyone?

by iclim4 Fri Dec 26, 2008 11:49 am

Well the story hasn't really started yet, and the show goes much deeper than just humor. But being annoyed by the characters is a fatal complaint. And I know where you're coming from because I have the same trouble empathizing with Tylor. I can't find him likable for the life of me, and every turn I want him to fail, the same way I want Jerry to fail in "Tom and Jerry". And seeing him win while not deserving to win pisses me off. I'd honestly classify it more as a weakness of the viewer rather than a weakness in the show though since it's not a widespread case. Anyway, it's your choice.

Code Geass? I'd call it an entertaining trainwreck.
It starts out truly exceptional from ep 1 to ep 8 but then it starts going downhill for me. Plot twists come out left and right, and some of them don't even make sense anymore. Also, it is good at evoking emotions. I'd say it's an above average show.

by B4L Fri Dec 26, 2008 1:23 pm

^^^ Damn you sure get into your animes lol ....

I enjoyed code geass it was fresh and diff to me. The Plot twist like iclim was what really made it great. Even the weird ones. But you might not like it since you don't seem to like Mech animes ......

Probably won't watch Gurren with yall tonight Mario Kart league races sorry , i'll catch up.

Dude... I'm asian... Just living up to the stereotype. =P

Seriously though, It's how I learn my english B.
Along with a bunch of other cartoons.
I also try to figure out why I like or don't like something, instead of just a "I like it, show is full of win, awesome". I Like picking parts apart till it's down to it's basic components. I can't really explain it that well... and thus you see the extent of my english.

Plus I had a LOT of free time before college started, I recall us playing SSBB and talking about it in VGC all day for months. haha good times. Tao is into anime we should ask him to join us in the club.

Oh and priorities B, Anime comes first before MKWii. I'm disappointed. *tsk* *tsk* *tsk*
