The use of color is really gonna help with the same-face-syndrome this series suffers from. I can't tell Chinatsu and Hina apart at all without looking at their hair in the manga!

Normally horror manga doesn't translate super well to anime. There have even been some unfortunate instances of this with Junji Ito's work in the past. The art in this trailer looks really good though, so I've got some hope that this'll actually do the manga justice.

Redline proved to me that you don't necessarily need a good story to have an excellent movie. You just need a story that isn't bad, and then if you make everything cool as hell it'll work out.

JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure - characters look way more adult than they are

One of my favorite moments was in part 5 when

JJBA Part 5a character asks Giornio if he has a driver's license and he goes, "Nope! I'm 15!"

My favorites have been :

  • Bang Brave Bang Bravern - Big dumb gay robots
  • Mobile Fighter G Gundam - Big dumb straight robots
  • Redline - Just some fun racing action. Some of the best animation I've ever seen.
  • Wotakoi - Love story between nerdy office workers
  • Legend of the Galactic Heroes - The best space opera
  • One Punch Man - depressed superhero

Their support sucks though. I had one of their controllers die on me after only 8 months of moderate use and after a way-too-long back and forth they demanded $15 to send me a new controller. Eventually we settled on $5, which is still $5 more than it should have been.

Very cute! This monthly pacing is killing me, but I'm sure it'll be lots of fun to re-read this all at once someday when it's complete.

It refers to the Jappanese Language Proficiency Test, or JLPT. The easiest version of the test is N5, and the hardest is N1.

Oh! Well then, I guess I should be more specific; earlier I left off the end of the manga's name. It's actually よつばと!. Here's a good write-up about what makes it a great first manga for a Japanese learner.

In my experience it was a bit easier getting started with Manga than going straight to VNs, though admittedly I've only played through one VN so maybe others are easier than the one I've tried. If you find VNs overwhelming I definitely recommend giving something like Yotsuba a go. I know a lot of people recommend it so maybe you're tired of hearing about it, but that's only because it's both funny and (relatively) easy.

Every friend I still keep in contact with is someone I met in college, so this makes a lot of sense to me.

And that's assuming that all 17 million mormons the LDS church claims to have actually exist. It's kind of annoying to get deleted from their rolls, so a lot of people who leave don't bother. Also, many of those 17 million live in much poorer nations than the US.
