AWKWARD ZOMBIE

Like a bloody storm
Burn up like a bloody stone
Carved into the grim lineage of destiny
Floating and indelible, bonds of pride~

I really like no game no life

I'm almost caught up with the jjba anime. Now, do I read the manga from Stardust Crusaders on, or do I wait for the show? That is the choice…

Now that I've finally finished it, Gundam X was pretty good. UC is pretty much entirely driven by Newtypes so I thought it was really interesting to see that same concept put in an AU and taken in a different direction. Plus, Garrod was a pretty cool MC and the best girl actually won for once. Not to mention the Double X is probably one of my favorite Gundam units.

Read the manga unless you want to wait several months to see the end of part III. And then probably a year to see the start of part IV. The anime's been pretty good so far though. It gets pretty 'enemy of the week' for a while so I hope they don't skip over some of the less important guys to save time. I really want to see the fight against The Sun.

My favorite in the original anime and the manga wasOsiris.

Yeah. I think it's the best part of Stardust Crusaders, along with the last stretch, Bast and High Priestess.

I'm really liking No game No life. I hope it keeps this up, it might be a new favorite.

I have been converted to Kakyoin-ism by loli, this was a good idea

No Game No Life is so good. I love that these protagonists aren't the typical heroes trying to get home.

Also that they decide to conquer the world not to save Imanity, but because it just so happens to be the pre-requisite for them to challenge Tet, the god of Disboard, and take his throne.

I love it because you know that's how things should go.
Stay in a shitty inn, move up to dating royalty, become king, and then rule the world as a god. It's the only proper thing to do.

Anime is saved.

still waiting for sailor moon

Yeeeeeeeeesss X is super rad. I honestly liked how it felt like an actual alternate universe of UC, ie "what if the OYW ended TERRIBLY?" I also liked how even with all of the UC cues, it still managed to establish its own identity well instead of just rehashing tons of stuff from the original. Other little plot things I liked were how the main villian wasn't some high and mighty "I'm doing this for the earth's/spacnoids' good" type but instead just a pair of dudes who were SERIOUSLY BUTTHURT, and how the show basically said "hey we should really just treat newtypes as people instead of trying to use them as weapons all the time."

Also Garrod was a rad as hell MC and he and Tiffa were adorable as hell. Jamil was also rad and the Frieden crew were also pretty cool. Out of curiousity, what did you think of Carris?


And totally unrelated, but I'm gonna start watching Gunbuster during finals study breaks. Time to aim for the top.

I liked that too. Especially since the high and mighty Earth and Spacenoid leaders were still there and doing their thing trying to beat the other guy, but the Frost brothers could care less and just kill them both.
Why don't we take a cyber Newtype, give him all the usual suffering, and then don't tragically kill him off? He was pretty alright, though after his arc he just disappears and even when he shows up for the final few episodes he's not exactly super relevant. I thought his MS was pretty neat. Funnels and curves like the Qubeley, but still had a different look so it wasn't just a blatant copy.

Finished stardust crusaders


Don't talk to me about Kakyoin and Abdul unless you want a very long sobbing ramble of how "THEY THOUGHT THEY WERE THE ONLY ONES BUT THEY FOUND FRIENDS AND THEY WERENT LONELY ANYMORE" abloobloobloo
