Ruki, have you watched Lain?

And fuck y'all, Jupiter was the best Sailor Scout. I'd bang her.

[stokeriño]

Lain has such an Evangelion vibe about it. I think it's all the long still shots of power cables.

[Ruki]

Does it end like Evengalion? ANd these shorts are entertaining...but makes me sad. NEW SERIES NOW

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

They appear to be comedy shorts, 'officially' made but just released online for the heck of it.

Never woulda figured that out on my own.

They should make a proper new series already. :@

I've heard they might be re-making the first season, without Haruhi, as the second season, then proceeding with the third season. Apparently, this makes perfect sense to people who know the story of the novels.

[GoGo Yubari]

I remember the episode where Mercury was playing a chess game....OF DEATH. Something about how every time she lost a piece, a part of her would become frozen.

Oh man, that episode was awesome.

... carry on, as you were.

I was helping out the other readers who may not have clicked on the links yet.

I don't know where these are from, or why they exist, but, they're slightly amusing.

In the second one, is Nagato looking at porn?

[Ruki]

And the 4th one.

[StevenRichardsRules]

WTF?

[Fanku Kaibutsu]

Not just porn! Porn video games!

[StevenRichardsRules]

...why?

[stokeriño]

Why is she playing them, or why do they exist?

Two very different questions.

[VinnyT]

So.....Anyone read this Pet Shop of Horrors? I thought it'd be a little juvenile when I saw the cover, but there's some good stuff so far. I guess what I found was a sequel manga that is only on it's third book officially in America.

I'm outraged and horrified, yet intrigued.

[Ruki]

The only thing horrifying is the CD cover.

[GoGo Yubari]

Sigh, Soul Eater, I knew you had to decline in quality eventually as you started wrapping things up but it's still sad to watch.

[VinnyT]

I've JUST been able to find a site that has Soul Eater again. Now I don't want to watch....

[The Mask of Norro]

Haven't seen latest episode yet. Going to watch tonight probably if subs are out, but... honestly, people, it's an episode. Yes it's a later one, but they've still got several more to go until the end of the series. I would hardly call it an ending killer.

Then again, I actually didn't mind all the filler episodes before, so I'm probably not the greatest of judges of these things

I'll come back in here with my review of the episode later, just to see if I agree with you fine folks or not >_>

Oh and Vinny try http://souleaterepisodes.com/ if you aren't already. That website has the episodes being subbed and going up every week just fine.

EDIT:

You guys didn't enjoy that episode? Bah, I loved it, it doesn't stand alone well as it's own episode but when you look at it, what it does do is hype up and prepare the viewer for the final episodes of the series. Everything is set to come together with the end of this episode, and it looks like the next one is going to pick up strong where this one left off.

I dunno, I liked it. It's basically a hype episode. Not filler or pointless... it just serves to hype up the upcoming episodes more than anything else, and it did a good job for me at least

I was referring to episode 45, for the record.

[The Mask of Norro]

I'm assuming you refer to it because

Spoiler: Click here to view

Medusa dies for real this time, Stein's sanity is restored, Marie has redemption powers previously untalked about, Maka can now pull the Demon Slayer off in a regular chain resonance despite doubting moments before she does it if she actually can, Crona dies but oh wait not really, all in a single episode?

'cause I could understand being unhappy with that. I would have liked things a little more spread out there myself, though to be honest as it stands I love that episode BECAUSE of how much is packed into it, and because in a way it indicates that the final episodes are going to be massive in comparison to it. But, again, that's just me

or because of something else?
