    The (Psychological) Problems of Streaming

    I've never really bought into the idea that people who aren't directly involved in something/have no experience of something shouldn't be allowed to give their opinions and/or take part in discussions on that subject. Sometimes an outside perspective can be useful in a variety of ways, people...

    Simulwatch VIII - Ping Pong the Animation [episode 10]

    Episode 9 So it turns out that the pace is slowing down for this, with at least two matches still to go in the next episode (or two). It mostly worked but, I have to admit, a few of the matches with "lesser" opponents did feel a little repetitive. I think it probably doesn't help to see the...

    [Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

    I wonder if they'll do SAVE releases over here at some point. I'd imagine not but you never know. At least if the show is region B compatible then it might be possible to import a SAVE edition if they do one in the future.

    Autumn 2016 Legal Anime Streaming Thread: The Sequel Season

    It'd be a shame if Crunchyroll don't have the new season of Natsume Yuujin Chou, they do have the rest. I'm interested in seeing what Bungo Stray Dogs does with it's second season (though I get the feeling that it's probably not going to go the way I'd hope). It should also be interesting to...

    [Overseas] Anime News & Announcements

    Seiyu's Life seems like something I might have watched if it was on Crunchyroll (and I suppose it maybe will be, depending on how this new partnership goes). Since I haven't seen it I don't know if it'd be worth watching but I suppose I maybe shouldn't think about it too much if it's going to...

    UK Anime Distributor Anime Limited Discussion Thread

    Presumably the delay meant that they have only just gotten their stock more recently. They did post an unboxing on their site so hopefully that's a good sign and that it was just recently is probably another indicator that stock has only just come in.

    The (Psychological) Problems of Streaming

    I think it's dangerous to get into the idea that you're responsible for funding the anime that you enjoy. Anime needs to be funded but it's not really down to individuals to get that done. People will have their own circumstances and we can't all contribute as much financially. Still, even if...

    Simulwatch VIII - Ping Pong the Animation [episode 10]

    Episode 8 They got back into the competition stuff pretty quickly, I suppose it makes sense that there'd be something afterwards since the actual matches and winners are probably only going to be part of the story. That is, unless the competition is going to last for the next three episodes...

    Simulwatch VIII - Ping Pong the Animation [episode 10]

    Episode 7 I have to wonder if Yurie is going to make it to the end of the show with driving like that. That's at least two ways that Kazama could lose her being established in this episode. It's possible that the threat of losing her could make him rethink his priorities but it's a risky...

    What Games Are You Playing?

    On an unrelated note, I'm looking forward to XCOM 2 on the PS4 soon... I should probably try to finish Deus Ex: Mankind Divided at least once first though. I haven't made much progress recently but I've been trying the Breach mode a little. It's an interesting kind of challenge mode, I don't...

    Simulwatch VIII - Ping Pong the Animation [episode 10]

    Episode 6 I think I enjoyed this episode the most so far, maybe it was all the Yuri... Actually, it was probably the singing. That whole segment was pretty much non-stop brilliant (including the build up to it). In a few scenes they managed to pretty much summarise all of the character arcs...

    The Official HdE Does Anime Thread

    Ooh, it's got music and everything. I don't know if you can call it a trailer if it doesn't spoil the best bits and make you feel like you've seen everything already.

    Rate the last anime you watched out of 10

    Oddly enough, I think I generally found the slower paced stuff to be more enjoyable overall. The first half tends to have more episodes where they're not really on an adventure so much as just getting used to the situation and I feel I generally preferred those episodes. I thought the "down...

    Everybody Loves Jerome

    I think people might just generally have a tendency to overinterpret the way that others communicate. If you tend to be blunt yourself then you might assume that people avoiding being blunt are really just hiding their true feelings, if you tend to speak more politely then blunt people can...

    It's been a while since I've seen it, so I could be sketchy on the details, but I think it was along these lines: At the end of the day, while the economic stuff can be kind of interesting, I think the character aspects are generally more important. I do think that first story might be one of...

    Simulwatch VIII - Ping Pong the Animation [episode 10]

    Episode 5 This episode brought to you by Pepsi. I wondered if I'd missed something to begin with but it's just that some time is skipped and we're gradually filled in as the episode goes along (unless I really did miss something). It's difficult to be too sympathetic towards Sakuma when he...

    Simulwatch VIII - Ping Pong the Animation [episode 10]

    "Akuma" does actually seem to be Sakuma's nickname, I think Smile briefly mentioned it when they first saw him. Regarding Kazama's statement, I was going to comment on that but wondered if I'd misunderstood. He says something about there only being one strong player but I wasn't sure if he...

    Everybody Loves Jerome

    That's true but it's reasonable enough for people to judge a company based on how well it's serving their preferences and be hesitant when certain releases might have issues that'd put them off of buying the product. Understanding the reasons behind the output of the company might make it...

    I'm further behind on posting than I am on watching but I'm still quite behind on simulcasts. I'm hoping to make an effort to catch up over the next week. Amanchu! Episodes 5-6. I'm more up to date on a couple of other shows but, at the moment, I'm considering Amanchu to be my favourite of...

    Simulwatch VIII - Ping Pong the Animation [episode 10]

    Episode 4 I guess we had the most blatant confirmation that the show is interested in the characters and their lives as more than just part of a sport in this episode. It's funny how common this seems to be in "sports" anime and it's a shame that some people miss out on these stories because...
