You're giving my kokoro doki dokis. . . . Seriously though, no homo, right?

I only like Caesar salads with chicken and a lot of ranch. Other salads are kinda bleh, but in general meals > salads.

Eh, it's the last day of winter break, but I somehow managed a smile.

Woah, are you done with Fate/Zero already? (and I assume you mean ufotable's new Unlimited Blade Works route adaptation)

"Staring at the New World" -- Rei Kagaya

Yeah, for a while I thought we'd never find something we'd disagree on, so I was taken aback by my lack of response to Nichijou's humor. I'll keep Steins;Gate in mind though, since it's so popular yet something I never got around to watching. I won't be watching it any time soon only because I have a bunch of other things on my list that take priority.

Same, my head is shaped weird and for some reason so whenever I put on glasses, whether they be sunglasses or lab glasses, my head starts to hurt.

Wat.

Aw, thanks for the sentiment. Ricola is awesome, but I don't have any in stock at the moment. Ugh, going to sleep now, need some rest anyway...

^There, that should work. Sure, the body proportions are a bit off, but they're attractive enough. Unless you only prefer 3D guys, or something...

Yeah, it's bad enough to give me a headache and feel constantly sleepy. I've had the taste of medicine in my mouth for the entire day, so I tried sucking on honey-lemon cough drops because those aren't so bad, but now my mouth feels all sweetly sticky and I hate it and yeah, I don't think I'll be in the mood for school on Monday. Speaking of which, just chewed up the last bits of my fourth cough drop a moment ago.

I actually like Clamp's unique style. And their designs were just pure eye candy for both guys and gals. Girls get their while guys get their

Crap, you just reminded me of my own AP Clac homework. Sigh, guess I'll get started tomorrow morning.

Siding with Kudo12XX on this one: SnK>CG I felt that SnK was more revolutionary and revitalized the anime industry in a way Code Geass couldn't. It broke new ground and will forever be the defining anime of the year 2013 no matter how hard Free and Kill la Kill fans try to say otherwise. Code Geass was just really well done fan-service (thank you based Clamp for your exceptional portrayal of attractive men and women) with a solid last episode.

Cure meh cold.

Nah, most animation studios work on things by the week. If they show a preview, that's usually about all they've already animated. When episodes are made, they aren't made from beginning to end. Every scene is worked on simultaneously, or as simultaneously as possible, akin to the way torrents are downloaded. Because episodes are pretty much made in the course of one week, you can sometimes tell where a lot of the time and budget goes. In some anime you can watch a terribly animated 6th episode only to watch a gorgeous 7th episode a week later because all the skilled animators were ordered to spend 2 weeks to work on one episode, perhaps for an action-packed or climactic scene, and let the less skilled people work on episode 6, which maybe consisted mostly of stills and/or talking scenes. Neon Genesis Evangelion is notorious for it's horribly animated last episode or two, because the animation studio admitted to having had run short of funds. And of course there are studios like KyoAni who have sold their souls to the devil for a bottomless pit of animation money in exchange for having nearly all of their anime characters, regardless of series affiliation, look like blood-relatives ever since K-On. A bit of a mess, the anime industry is. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Well, I got around to watching Nichijou which is something I've been considering for a while now. Regrettably, I didn't find it as entertaining as Kenzi found it. While it was objectively a very good show, the humor never resonated with me. I chuckled a couple of times and smiled a bit, but for the most part I didn't really find it that funny. Maybe it's because I have a bad sense of humor or something. I don't mind slice of life, and I usually like it a lot, but there weren't many times I thought to myself "oh man, I know exactly how [insert character here] feels". The randomness didn't bother me either. Random silliness can be really great if done well, but it wasn't in this case. My biggest gripe is probably with the characters. I didn't find a single one of the six main characters according to MAL likable (except for perhaps Sakamoto). The one that I especially disliked, almost hated, was Hakase. Everything from her design to her personality irked me. Sigh, maybe I'm just not very good with children, but God damn that kid really ruined what I could have considered to be a decent show and made it average at best. However, I must say I adored the supporting characters and cast. If more scenes and gags focused on them, I probably would have liked the show more and even have forgiven Hakase. Ah, it's too bad, I really wanted to like Nichijou, too.

From what I can tell, the roster is unbelievably balanced. Even characters I had previously felt were kind of loose and hard to play as, notably Ness, Wario, Peach, Donkey Kong, and Mr. Game and Watch, feel sharp, crisp, and powerful. Honestly, so many characters feel so good in my hands it'll be a long while before I settle on a go-to main. And I guess Mario Kart DS was kind of easy, considering how quickly I managed to pick it up. I never played Mario Kart Wii, but Mario Kart 8 doesn't seem to be that hard. It's definitely harder than MKDS, but I've mastered 100cc and fare rather well in 150cc. It's actually a ton easier to get three stars for every Grand Prix, unlike in MKDS, since all you need to do is get first place in all four races instead of whatever ambiguous measurement was used for the DS version. I've actually decided to run through Diamond with that Silcoon. I traded it over to my Pearl version to EV train and it's a hefty Beautifly now. It won't be as easy to run through with as the Slack Off/Nasty Plot Infernape I had originally planned on, but it's holding up really well so far. It has terrible IVs though (single digits for everything except for 18 in speed) and it's Hidden Power is useless Grass type. I'm running a Bug Buzz/Psychic set and it would have been great coverage to have a Hidden Power Ground, or at the very least Fire, Fighting, or Water. Ah well, it'll make the solo run a bit challenging at the very least. Ah, I've been to Key West before. It was a long time go, but we took a cruise down there. I can't remember much of it, but I don't think I disliked it. The cruise, of course, was a ton of fun. I think vacationing by cruise boat is the best way to travel. By car would be second, since road trips can be a lot of fun, and I suppose to cap things off plane trips that provide free movies are great. Ehem, geez, I need to stop myself from straying off topic like this. If you ever feel the need to talk about your trip in more detail and have the time for it, PM me. I would definitely be interesting in hearing about it, haha. My parents used to be rather against Japanese stuff too, but they've somewhat warmed up to anime (as long as it's dubbed in either English or Mandarin). Wait, so then are you Chinese, too? I suppose you could also be either Filipino or Korean, considering those countries have been affected by Japanese war crimes back in the day as well. Well, now that winter break is practically over my parents have taken away my Wii U until college decisions are in, I guess. Ah well, I don't mind much. Though when the Ike and Sheik amiibos that I pre-ordered are delivered I won't be able to start training them immediately. I also plan on getting a Marth amiibo (when it's restocked, hopefully) and Lucina, Dark Pit, Ganondorf, and Palutena amiibos (when they're released). I guess I'll be investing most of my time in the Diamond run through, and maybe a bit in Y if my parents haven't relocated the 3DS. Oh shoot, sorry Kenzi, I never got around to playing either Super Meat Boy or Cave Story. Gah, I actually didn't have as much free time as I thought. I didn't realize so much stuff had built up over the months waiting for the break from school. I'll try to play them both as soon as I can though. (Um, I may need to seriously start spoiling everything I post here, because I wrote too much again...)

I was about to recommend the Music Awareness Thread, but it looks like you've hit that one up already. "Running Through the Stars" -- Rei Kagaya

Ah, cool cool, let me know what you think of it once you're done.

Medicine ^I'm sure that's counted as food in some places

You posted this in the wrong section. However, the drawings are not too bad for a 7 year old.

Did you already finish Fate/Zero or was my advice ignored?
