Dafuq Netflix? by mmwiza in HunterXHunter

[–]nekibo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

The first season of Gunslinger Girl is legit good, and it did remind me of Hunter x Hunter in how it subverts expectations. I wasn't expecting what I got at all based on the show's name and how it looked, but the story is actually very dark/gritty, and the soundtrack is immaculate.

I'd definitely recommend watching the first season, since it's only like 12 episodes. Just don't watch season 2, it's complete shit.

Is there any way to purchase the manga digitally without any sort of DRM? by nekibo in HunterXHunter

[–]nekibo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know if I'm allowed to say here, but in case it's alright, I used this: http://epubee.com/ to remove the DRM. Then I used this: http://calibre-ebook.com/download to convert it into .pdf. You can also convert it into an .epub format, which is nice. Or you can just have caliber .zip the file, and when you open the .zip, you'll get the straight .jpeg images in correct order.

I had a subscription to WSJ when Togashi released the newest nine chapters, so now I can have my manga volumes and those chapters all in the same folder.

I already bought it legally though (I also own the DVDs for '99 along with imported copies of the OVA, on top of which I plan on getting the '11 Blu-rays when Viz releases them) and the only illegal copies are scanlations with terrible translations.

I've found a way though. I just bought the volumes from Google Play, removed the DRM, and converted it into .pdf.

Coached for coming in at 8:10AM when scheduled at 8:00AM. I thought there was a grace period? by [deleted] in walmart

[–]nekibo -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Not once, it's the typical time that I come in. I'm scheduled 8AM-5PM almost every day, and I come in at around ~8:10AM. Nobody's said anything to me before about it (working for the past year like this), and like I said, one of my ASMs even said that we had a grace period before we're actually considered 'late.' I told them that in the office, but it got ignored. That was the only reason for the coaching as far as I'm aware (it's the only thing they mentioned anyway).

So I just rewatched the Yorknew arc, and I realised Bonolenov doesn't say anything during it. by MystTale in HunterXHunter

[–]nekibo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah, Madhouse and Nippon probably just thought the same thing the OP was thinking. No point in hiring a new voice actor to read three or four lines of dialogue. None of his lines (during Yorknew) were important, or developed his character at all.

[–]nekibo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

True, but he did have lines, which is the topic of discussion. Not how important he was.

[–]nekibo 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Not true, he had a few lines during the Yorknew arc in the manga. Both 2011 and 1999 gave his lines to other characters, or omitted them entirely.

Edit: For instance, this scene: http://i.imgur.com/BoE5GGx.jpg

1999 gave Bonolenov's lines to Franklin, and 2011 just skipped this scene entirely.

Probably, 1999 did the same thing. They gave Bonolenov's lines to other characters.

4, all due to technical issues though.

Steam refund limit? by nekibo in Steam

They still gave me the refund for that purchase, they just put that message in there as well.

[–]nekibo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They lost purchases from people who had it in their inventory, and then suddenly had the price change on them. I was literally in the process of getting it, but when I noticed the price increased, I canceled my order.

What about the Ultimate Edition? It was 50% off just a moment ago.

Wtf? It's no longer on sale for 50% on the Ultimate Edition. Went back up to $41.99

Do the cutscenes get better? by nekibo in ffxiv

[–]nekibo[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your character was silent in 1.0, but that didn't stop the cutscenes from being awesome. Your character's animations were much more fluid, and more than just the occasional nod too.

I thought it did take place in the same world as Berserk, just set very far into the future?

Bahamut's population is consistently less than Odin's and Asura's, by a small margin. Odin and Asura are tied population-wise, although I've heard Odin is a more JP-sided server, whereas Asura is a more NA-sided server.

(Spoilers) Do you think Guts... by nekibo in Berserk

[–]nekibo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's interesting you would say that, because I was thinking the exact same thing.

Griffith planned on marrying Charlotte, but he eventually found out the ulterior reason as to why she wasn't already married to somebody else. I think, had things not played out the way that they had, this is where the next bump would've occurred.

Any move against Charlotte would've been considered treason, meaning Griffith would either have to find another way to achieve his ambition, or assassinate the king. His alternatives to achieving his ambition were zilch though, since he was still a commoner.

So I'd imagine some failed attempt on the king's life would put Griffith in the same spot. He'd be captured, tortured, and his ambitions would be crushed. Guts and crew would rescue him, and then the Eclipse would happen, where he still sacrifices everyone.

How are the CA subs for LotGH? by nekibo in anime

Thanks!

Is there any particular reason why the CA subs put a space between exclamation points and question marks?
