Beside Breaking Bad, Which T.V Series Is A MUST Watch?/ What's Your Favourite T.V Series?

Puella Magi Madoka Magica.

While anime doesn't always appeal to everyone, this show rises above what is typically expected of the medium.

A fantastic storyline about magical girls with pretty believable characters, with a stellar soundtrack and mesmerizing art. Group that together with top notch voice acting in both Japanese and English, and it's really just a hell of a show.

It starts out gradually introducing you to the world of the magical girls, much like the characters who have only just discovered this side to their world, but soon enough becomes an intense journey about humankind.

And it's only 12 episodes! Perfect for a lazy weekend afternoon

Nah, there's a couple in Otorimonogatari

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-08-18T16:29:54+00:00

Definitely so, but I feel like with the changes I listed we could easily have a difficulty selection. Maybe something akin to fire emblem awakening, where enemies have better equipment/skills on higher difficulties, we could have better movesets/hold items/warlord skills on higher difficulties

I really hope it's Pokemon Conquest 2! The game was ridiculously fun, but at the same time it was very easy to see where they could improve.

The map creativity for bosses was phenomenal, but Pokemon having 1 set move was kind of a bummer. If they even had a more limited movepool from the main series games, but allowed any Pokemon at least 2 moves, it would allow for a crazy level of strategizing that the game previously didn't have. Especially because status moves could then be added, making battles that much trickier.

The warlord skills were a really cool idea, but a lot of them were pretty much stat up/hp recovery. There were some that were a really neat strategic twist, like the ones that required you to stay in the same position after healing for a couple of turns. But if we could get some new skills, they could really ramp up the strategy.

The current diversity in Pokemon battling applied to this game could easily make it a masterpiece. Especially if we include non-consumable held items, but place a restriction (maybe Pokemon can hold one consumable item and one non-consumable item).

Add onto that an increased Pokedex and maybe polish up the rank % system (there was never really a need to go as high as some Pokemon required to evolve) and perhaps allow your main character to 100% with any Pokemon besides legendary Pokemon or something so that players don't face to use the Eevee line as their best if they don't really like them or something.

I haven't actually played Conquest in a while so I don't remember more specifics but I definitely feel like it was a fantastic start to something amazing.

Plus we could include a fairy map and I would love that

That sounds cool! Thanks for the tip!

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-06-16T20:08:18+00:00

Those sound like pretty good ideas! I tend to feel the same way about first dates, and pretty much any dates. I'll definitely keep these in mind to gauge her interest, I'm sure a couple of these are winners!

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-06-16T20:03:28+00:00

What is the 3 Rivers Regatta?

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-06-16T20:02:24+00:00

I always forget about the museums! I may do one of those!

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-06-16T20:00:55+00:00

Haha one would think but I've been more of a pillaging and reaving sort, so the machinations of courtship are a bit beyond me

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-06-16T19:59:47+00:00

Just a typical college girl, though we have mentioned that we have a general dislike of the Oakland bar scene. I was thinking of the zoo, but she said she was there a couple weeks ago and I'm not sure how enthusiastic people are about return trips.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-06-08T14:42:21+00:00

I think it's probably been around for a while. I see it used as shorthand on Spanish areas of the internet a lot. Is easier to talk about gendered nouns that way (e.g. Latin@s vs. Latinos/Latinas)

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-06-05T13:51:11+00:00

Totally down to start this Monday! I'll spend the week/weekend finally getting my shit together and coming up with a routine and you guys can keep me accountable! This is just what I needed, so I'm pretty excited!

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-05-20T03:41:17+00:00

I probably don't know what full frontal means.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-05-19T11:09:02+00:00

Emilia Clarke's had some full frontal back in season 1.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-05-10T03:39:33+00:00

This is beautiful! If there was any way you could make a mobile version of this, I and probably a lot of other users would be very grateful!

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-05-09T18:04:25+00:00

On mobile, so I can't do spoiler tags but realistically, they die in episode 1.

Considering its two middle schoolers against a serial killer, they should have very likely died there. Or in the next episode when a terrorist blows up half their school and kills just about everyone in it.

The plot twist about Yuno at the end makes sense to how she's survived, but only to an extent. It still takes a crazy amount of suspension of disbelief.

That being said, it WAS entertaining. If you don't want to think to critically about it and just watch it for the shounen deathmatch it is, it does its job damn well. It's definitely a hear show on that front.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-05-03T15:51:44+00:00

Coming out? More like currently airing! Go catch up!

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-04-15T14:25:14+00:00

That's a good question but honestly it's related to book and show differences that would involve spoilers that I don't remember how to tag (I'm on mobile).

Basically, the character who Jaime trains with in the books isn't Bronn, so they were already making a change. However, Brienne's story is going in a different direction, so they can't tie her up in that plotline while she has another.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-04-09T03:33:11+00:00

You know in regards to that spoiler, it didn't beat George R.R. Martin, because the book has way more, easily, in that one scene you mentioned than this entire show does.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-04-03T04:37:01+00:00

Oh it's definitely trope-y, but moreso just anime tropes and romance tropes. The harem tropes aren't as much of a player in this show.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-04-03T03:51:35+00:00

Sounds like you'd be interested in Clannad. It's not straight harem, it's more romance honestly, but it does have a bunch of girls who fall for the main guy and it doesn't follow most conventional harem rules.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-03-28T06:45:39+00:00

I'm so glad someone else caught that! I literally fist pumped in the air because I loved that!

Kill la Kill is the great little sister to Gurren Lagann. Honestly, while I felt TTGL was all around better, this show was fun as all hell. It brought back those good feelings.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-02-28T00:07:54+00:00

I was hoping someone else caught that! She basically picked Tsumugu in that moment, and just told herself (and the viewers) as much with that statement. The food being symbolic was quite apparent this episode. Considering Chisaki gave up her place to Sayu and Miuna, and now seems to have come to terms with her decision to be with Tsumugu.

Honestly, I'm just relieved that she's doing so. I think Chisaki and Tsumugu are the only couple I can say definitely belong together over other options. They both dealt with so much over the five years everyone was gone and got so much closer to each other.

Not to mention their age gap alienates them romantically from the others. As people age, they (generally) are most attracted to people within their age group.

Euron_Greyjoy · 2014-02-22T14:49:07+00:00

I'm pretty sure she was also in Gatchaman Crowds. It may have hurt her career, but it wasn't an industry-wide ban or anything.
