What Was the Last Song You Listened To?

Thrrroooooooooowwwbaaaaackk!! (well, not really but I haven't heard this song since it was first released) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o0c-kC8xZ-I -

Just joking. @machine: Pandora's cool too, I just prefer Spotify over it, is all.

Ah geez, I thought he was a girl too, so when I realized he was a guy my heart was kinda left in limbo, haha. Some of the other students were developed in an episode or two. I know the baseball guy, some of the thuggier looking dudes, the pretty girl with long black hair, and a couple other characters had their brief time to shine. I wouldn't really mind it if the series continued to focus on Nagisa (he's cute after all) and Karma and the teachers though. I might get bored of them soon, in the same way I feel like I'm starting to get bored of Nisekoi's cast, but I guess we'll see if it comes to that. Aww well, to each his own.

Ah, I see. Well then, I'm not the best at giving advice like this, because I'm a bumbling fool myself, so the most I can do is wish you luck. Just hope you two share some common interests or something, and maybe you'll hit it off when the stars align. Ooooorrrr, you could just find a new senpai.

You're asking for a fight now aren'tchya?

Naw, I knew what you meant, I was just making a joke, haha. The only Titan that makes sense in the context of sunsets would be the moon, naturally.

(Unless you talk to him first! Hopefully the weather's been either really good or really bad...)

Found out machine still uses Pandora. (Convert to Spotify, you know you want to...)

Why don't you jump in one and find out? Though I'd venture to guess you wouldn't get much of a view.

I think most fans agree that ufotable will either give HF the Kara no Kyoukai treatment, with 7-ish movies spanning the course of over two and a half years, or split it into two 2.5 hour movies with a major cliffhanger in the middle (I haven't played the visual novels, so I'm not too sure what this cliffhanger is) and a lot of the slice of life scenes cut out. They realize the 2010 UBW movie was a bad idea, so I doubt they'd be silly enough to shoot themselves in the foot with a lazy one-movie adaptation. And I hate to break it to you, but in an interview ufotable said there were no plans to adapt Fate. They said they "respected" Studio Deen's 2006 loose adaptation, which is a load of bs considering they gave away the Fate route for free on mobile devices or something after they announced they would be adapting UBW about a year back. After people watch UBW and Heaven's Feel, Fate wouldn't feel right at the end, especially since it was originally intended to be played first. The only way Fate would get an adaptation is if they incorporated a ton of anime original scenes and changed up some aspects, even more so than the current UBW is doing. At least, that's what people are saying. Also, didn't Nasu confirm in an interview somewhere that there is no "true" route? He said that they're all alternate universes of each other, each of them equally as legitimate and real as the others. He said no route should be singled out as the "true" events of Fate/stay night. I wish I could provide you links to these interview, but that's what I gathered from stalking the threads on MyAnimeList and the Fate/stay night subreddit these past few months when I finally got around to diving into the franchise. W-we were getting along so well... I'm sorry, but I don't think we can be friends anymore... I'm just joshing. I only prefer Onodera because I have this huge bias for Kana Hanazawa's voice.

Prelude 12/21 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZfeyRj4ePT8 -
You're awesome Kenzi, thanks for delivering, haha! Shakespeare in Love Only watched the first few minutes of this, because I guess my Lit teacher just felt like not showing us the rest. Can't really say much from this little preview, but it's an interesting comedic take on how Shakespeare came to be as popular as he did, I think. Nothing amazing, but in theory it probably would have been a pretty solid movie. Didn't intrigue me enough to finish it on my own time though. Emma Why are all of Jane Austen's works the same? Seriously, there were so many parallel between Emma and Pride and Prejudice, I thought she was ripping off herself. Bit of an aged movie and not directly quite as dramatically or stylistically as P&P, but then again I don't think the course material was probably all that great either. Interstellar Only worthwhile thing we did in physics this entire year was watch this movie. And even then I ended up watching most of it at home because I wasn't patient enough to wait for the weekend to end. I've been curious about this movie ever since I've heard pretty solid things about it. I must say, I was impressed. The directing was great, and while there are some flaws with character personalities and actions it did enough right to tip it in my favor. I was impressed by the rather unique and "realistic" take on the relativity aspects, though the philosophical parts did feel a tad bit heavy-handed. Even small flaws like the earsplitting music swells and the inconsistent aspect ratio didn't bother me. This was a good movie, and it's worth your time if you're looking for a change of pace from the standard Hollywood fare. I'm still watching movies in Lit class, because my teacher is super chill like that. Just started watching Clueless, and modern-day loosely-based version of Emma, and I can't say I particularly like it so far. The humor hasn't aged very well and the lead character is obnoxious. I know it's supposed to be a parody of sorts, but jeez... It still rubs me the wrong way. Man, I haven't watched this many movies since winter break. Too bad I still don't have time to get around to what I really want.

Thought you were doing one of those haikus again, and began counting syllables. I was going to give you a 7.8/10 because your first and second lines were too short, and then I realized my mistake. Eheh, my bad, that quote is 10/10. "Do not go gentle into that good night, Old age should burn and rage at close of day; Rage, rage against the dying of the light."

I wish someone would seriously bump the movie thread. Because AP tests are done, I've watched a few things in school, and not being able to post about them without double posting is bothering me to no end.

Miles Edgeworth ~ Objection! 2011 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p-sPwGfE3CQ It's a crying shame this game wasn't officially localized, because a ton of fans are missing out on the second best Ace Attorney game and one of the best (if not the best) OSTs of the franchise. -
I don't hate fantasy and mahou shoujou anime specifically, but very very few of the new ones that are coming out are even remotely creative. Especially if they come from light novels. Honestly, just Google "light novel covers" and you'll find that nearly everything looks identical. Just a bunch of rainbow-haired moe girls in skirts living a high school life and/or saving the world from imminent destruction. One of the reasons I started watching anime was because I thought Hollywood was bad, but the anime industry isn't exactly the greatest either, especially nowadays. I want there to be a Utsuro no Hako to Zero no Maria anime adaptation so bad though. The light novel intrigues me and as much as I'd like to start reading it I just don't have the time. An anime would be a godsend.

True, it just feels like Hachiman's personality isn't being expressed in the same way as it was before. I know right?? I wish we could just have a release date for the movie(s), because being left with only a preview trailer and a promo poster is getting me super anxious. For now, UBW is keeping me satiated, and when summer comes around I'll get to the Kara no Kyoukai movies, which I've been saving. I just hope ufotable's other project, God Eater, doesn't delay Heaven's Feel too much. Regardless, I'm still super hyped for it! Let us just be thankful it's even going to be a thing (RIP Fate route). Anything would be better than Chitoge, honestly.

Call me crazy, but I preferred season one's art style even though season two's animation, detail, and consistency is significantly improved. You should definitely check them out, so I'm glad you're considering them. Well, I'll give you that, Tsugumi's pretty good, too. I only put Onodera ahead of her because of my bias for Kana Hanazawa's voice, haha. The "vampire" aspect of the show is very very minimal, so I really don't think it'll prove to be a problem at all. Nothing at all like Owari no Seraph, rest assured. It's a quick watch, so either pick it up now and catch up with the airing episodes or just wait for it to finish. It's good you're also interested in it though; it's an anime that definitely deserves more attention. If you end up liking it, be sure to spread the word! And you're also watching Ansatsu Kyoushitsu, right? I think it's alright, some episodes are hit, others are miss, but overall it's pretty fun. I'm only not ragging on it too much because Nagisa Shiota is an awesome character and he's kinda cute (no homo, I swear). It looks like a second season as already been confirmed, so I guess it won't hurt to check it out.

I honestly don't know which kinds of characters get on my nerves more: the lame dudes with harems or the pretentiously "badass" dudes... with harems. High school, fantasy, mahou shoujou, moe light novel adaptations are killing anime, I swear...

Fairly certain that's the case for every MV, save for, like, OK Go's. Id (Purpose) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bio99hoZVYI Favorite part is when the older FE theme starts kicking in at 2:46. -
Ohhh mhmhm, I get it now, haha. Well, you learn new things every day. And no problem!
