Tokyo Crazy Paradise and Red River are my favorite manga of all time. Glass Mask is probably one of the best anime.

It's actually a rather good fighting game from Arc System Works, but the plot is just so stupid.Don, I've heard the name BlazBlue before regarding an anime, and it has always been associated with the term "shit" somehow.I don't even know what it's about, but I don't think I'm about to watch it, given what I've heard of it.
I have watched some of Haibane. I should definitely finish that up soon, and I'll check out Ergo Proxy too. Have you seen Kuuchuu Buranko? It probably has the strangest art style I've ever seen and it is really great.Pedantic, I take it you've seen Haibane Renmei? It's an original by Mr. ABe; from the writing, to the drawing. One of my favorite animes of all time. I assume you're looking for something more cerebral and intense than that though, based on what you mentioned. I'd give Ergo Proxy a shot.
Over the weekend my friend invited me to his house, said he was going to watch a movie. I get over there and the movie is Akira. I'd never seen it before but had read many things about it so I thought this should be good. It was beyond good, it was amazing. Visually brilliant, mind ....ing and creepy and just an amazing film overall. Haven't stopped thinking about ever since.
And it simultaneously fulfills my need for thisI'd watch a SOL about a middle aged mom for some reason. MILF wars.
I've only ever played Touhou 6, but I kept getting stuck on Patchy(and that was on easy mode). I've never heard of Castle of Shikigami, but it sounds right down my ally. Unfortunately, I don't have a TV to play my Wii on right nowIt's odd how I've known about the Touhou games for the longest time, but I've never played one. I also really suck at those kinds of games. When I first got my Wii when I was about 16-17, I bought it as part of a deal that included three games: two were chosen by the dealer, and the other I could choose. I chose Super Mario Galaxy, and the two other games were a Monopoly game and none other than Castle of Shikigami III. At the time I had no idea - I didn't even know where the hell that game had come from - but, in retrospect, I understand why I have a kind of phobia towards those kinds of games; CoS III is f*cking IMPOSSIBLE and it frustrated me enough to rage-quit it forever, and Touhou is like 10x worse.Great music and character design though, that's for sure.
Give NGNL a chance. I was hesitant about it in the beginning, too. It eventually clicks though.
Oh god this forum is finally back lol
New SAO!!!!!!!!!!!! Can't watch until I'm home tonight though![]()
4.5/5"What a delightfully gruesome way to start a series! I was looking forward to this one based solely on the trailers (I am not familiar with its source material), and it was better than I was expecting. Very straight-to-the-point first episode. It didn't meander through the story with unnecessary plot points/devices, yet it was slow and thoughtful enough to let the viewer take in every plot detail and to make every emotion it wanted to convey sink in deep into the psyche.
I particularly liked the waythey portrayed Kaneki's terror of finding that he's been half-turned into this abominable human-eating monster. It somewhat reminded me of how well Attack on Titan conveyed the horror of the situation during the first few episodes.
If there was one thing I didn't like was how they held back on showing the details of that one fight scene near the end (by doing the typical move of having two characters approach each other at full speed, clash with a bang, and then the delayed wounds and blood out of thin air), and how some of the more gory stuff was sort of left out of frame or shaded black. I'm not sure if it's just censorship that might be removed in future DVD/Bluray releases or if it's meant to be that way. In either case, it was quite a minor drawback during this first episode, and I didn't even consciously think about it until after the episode ended. Nothing to worry about here for now.
Can't wait for more!"
