Sweet, thanks.
Spoiler:
Ideally wouldn't you save your all pots until the last day to try and place high in the rankings? Well I'm pretty sure the paywall mob will stop you from getting the LR card regardless.
EDIT: Also congrats on getting Asagi Kaimax, would trade for Oboro any day.

Here some preview info about the upcoming manga. TVTropes is already listing a new batch of characters from it, I won't spoil stuff but, as I told artcellrox before, let's pray it won't be a Prototype 2 scenario (where Kaneki is the bad guy).
Re:Tokyo Ghoul YES YES YESSSSS! Sui Ishida(the mangaka) is also running a side story called Tokyo Ghoul: Jack where Arima's past is the focus, some of the characters from there carry on to Re:Tokyo Ghoul apparently.
Spoiler:
Although the mangaka commented on the series saying "The legend has a beginning. If you bear witness to this beginning, it will be a moment you will never forget as long as you live!!" Meaning that this is a prequel? Or just saying that the original Tokyo Ghoul was leading up for this series?
Spoiler:
So the party on the 17th is probably just going to be about the anime then, because the guests there are mostly people related to the anime adaptation.

On a side note, minutes ago I killed a big ass centipede crawling on my bedroom wall. Bad omen...? :yYou should stuff it in a briefcase.

Spoiler:
He feels very similar to Makishima. Makishima knew he was in a state of such overwhelming power that when he uses it, he does it in an articulate manner to purposefully flaunt how hopeless opposing him is and typically chats with his victims in a self-reflective manner before executing them.
Spoiler:
It remains to be seen if he can prove himself, though I would like something different rather than another Makishima so he doesn't just end up standing in his shadow.
They're making Mika do her speal because they want a contrast to how Akane was and is now, I've no doubts Akane or an Enforcer going to give her a one on one talk eventually. Still doesn't change the fact that Mika is boring though.

It's like 4-6AM which is veery early in the morning but I'm not entirely familiar with when Japan decides to air very mature shows. On Anichart it's rated 17+ for violence and profanity but it's debatable how firm that rating is. Things like Seikon no Qwaser were rated R+ so possibly a tit slip is asking for too much. Something more in context like Hentainize said would be fine.
Does it really look like I know Fate that well? I don't know half of what is going sometimes.
Spoiler:
Well now that you've said her servant class I have to spoil it.
EDIT: Someone post. New Episode. Saber gasms. THIS ISN'T EVEN HER ROUTE DAMMIT.

Maybe western countries only?Well I know that there are several other western players on this forum so if they are having the same problem it's safe to assume so. However I tried using my VPN and it still wouldn't let me connect.
EDIT: Now it's working
I remember seeing pictures of the manga and being interested in the concept, though I never actually gave it a go. I should.

I can still play it without any VPNs.Yeah I don't know what's going on I have the same screen as Kuroi Mato but the picture isn't even appearing.

Hell, they can be flexible and mix the two so that everyone can be happy.They contradict each other though. It would take some serious finagling for them to work together.
NSFW

I'm actually not sure how much of this might be shown in the TV version. There is a possiblity that we won't get anything but an implication for the TV version while there will be a sex scene in the BluRay release. This might be just a guess, but I heard that the BD version of episode 0 will have bonus scenes (apparently the episode 0 that was shown at the screening event at Sunday before last week was a few minutes longer that what aired on TV last week).Blu-ray sex scene....it sounds unlikely but it's more probable than a sex scene being aired on live television in daylight hours. If anything it'll be a hint or even better a strong confirmation that they had sex without showing it, because optimally the scene should show how much Tohsaka is willing to put on the line for Shirou(because mana transfer has more risks associated with it than losing your virginity) and how dishonest she is with her affection toward him.
I'm not really sure what else they could add to the prologue in the BD besides more of Tohsaka's daily life mixed with Sorcerer duties, which isn't really that interesting. It could have been the opening for UBW.

As for your spoiler:Spoiler:
Mostly just for fan-service but behind that is a much crueler truth.
Spoiler:
I went off on a tangent there, but Medea's tale is a really good one.

I pretty much agree with everything she says, but if I had to say almost every AAA title these days feels incomplete and having it sold in parts is incredibly gross business tactics. I feel abused as a consumer for paying for a full price game and only getting half of it in return, then being expected to pay for the rest as they trickle out in varying quality over the years.

Anyone know if the English translations for these are gonna be released anytime soon? Don't think I can learn Japanese atm :\Fandiscs like the Majikoi A# series are really unpopular for translation groups because they are usually lower quality than the main series. So probably not going to get translated.
Use machine translations. Not very difficult.

I need to start on Fate/stay night though. .-.Set about a month in advance and plan for the days for when you play it, especially if you are going blind. You'll need a pen and paper to keep track of what choices are dead ends. It's kind of like a commitment to play that game..
I just love how much Danganronpa makes you absolutely fall in love with a character then does a little "upupupupupupu" before splattering her insides all over your shirt while she's saying "it's going to be alright". Good lord this game is fun.

What's this Deen thing everyone is talking about, it sounds like something I should set low expectations for.

Just wanted to throw in this image of Sakura getting raped by dick worms from Ufotable's production of Fate/Zero.
Spoiler:
We'll know what happens to Tohsaka when it happens.
Well at least I can get this
Spoiler:
Do want, would be the second or third merch I've bought from Fakku and the first through online transaction.

Why is it that the best treats are the kiddie ones...
Finished Super DanganRonpa2: Despairing at killing your Waifu. Wacky, unique and memorable murder detective game that is a must have for any Vita owner. It also has three sub games built into it that are almost games by their own right, so it's well worth the price.
I felt like most of the puzzles were completely reflex based and poorly designed. For example, one of the segments with a split-second time limit had three questions with one word misspelled in them as the trick. A preschooler would've defeated the Ultimate Despair for god's sake. I would be lying if they weren't fun though, they retain that wacky, frantic charm that the original Danganronpa had in spades during investigation.
Every single time I broke my bank over romancing a character to finally get him to tell me the heartbreaking story of his life next time we meet..he dies immediately the next day. Granted it's not the game's fault but good lord I wanted to at least tap her once before her Pepto-bismal blood got splattered all over the walls...okay you can't actually tap them but you get their underwear after maxing their affection...even if it's a guy...I'm still keeping it.
I liked this quite a bit, I'm not sure if this is a definitive end to the Danganronpa series but if this is: They hit it off at the top of their stride.

Wished that the combat sequence would be longer, but that's definitely good enough for me.Berserker is one of few "bosses" in a VN that gave me chills, high expectations for OP A+ stats all around next episode.

the impression of objectified beauty it describes Saber as to the moonIt's like the company is named after the moon or something.
Yeah Nasu really loves the moon(as do I) for it's symbolization of a nigh unapproachable beauty. There's almost always moonlight whenever Emiya is watching the heroines.
People complaining about UBW and yet "begrudgingly watch it". Be glad it even exists guys, this is like a warm welcome after the train crash that was the UBW movie. Or at least I'm hoping it's a warm welcome.
To me UBW is simply the lesser of three already great routes.
You have not addressed the fact that F/K stands for many things wrong with the industry. That is fairly negative impact on F/K.
Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Second chance for everyone and actually canon, all you need to do is put effort into a machine translation and play the VN. Not hard.
Like I said it's for a specific demographic, meaning some people won't get anything out of it and I've acknowledged the fact that I'm not their ideal viewer. However that doesn't change the fact that even for someone outside of the demographic, I can see it's low quality. The fight scenes are pretty lights, a literal cut-paste of everything that animators recently have decided to slack off with beauty in form and impact. Cowboy Bebop and Fate/Zero knew their stuff, even Hitsugi no Chaika hit manageable. Under the Dog's had to hit Kickstarter to get funded, and even before that with barely any money or reputation to their name they made a thirteen minute trailer with mindbogglingly beautiful fight clips. F/K has a massive budget and manages below average fight scenes, even with the dilution of funds they had a considerable amount of money.
F/K plays at getting dark. The moeblobness that drew in it's initial viewers keeps stopping it from carrying momentum in dark scenes like Illya's wistfulness on the rooftop only to interrupted by "lol yuri". Even then those dark scenes are pathetic, if you look at the show from the beginning of the series to now these tragic events are insignificant in long term, they literally just brush off everything and continue their "lol yurism" unabated because that's the main focus of the show. In fact the idea of making this series dark confuses me, the writer is clearly not capable at it and the fans who prefer "lol yuri" will get less of what they want.
It's my firm recommendation, no my hope that you will please reassess that statement after you've experienced some form of the main Fate/Stay Night material, because I am sure you will get something out of it and it's a chance to uphold that open mindedness that you told J4ck about. It doesn't' hurt to try it since your opinion that F/K being enough to satisfy can still hold after you've tried the rest and you can get a better idea of the series as a whole.
I respect your right to stand by the choice to adore F/K, likewise every time F/K is brought up I will always(unless someone makes a very convincing rebuttal) stand against it.

I'm just still baffled on what WideEyedMan mentioned about the execution part. Since this is a mahÅ shÅjo show, then it should be all girly and magical and pretty and pink? Is that what is it supposed to be? Sorry about that but I may be over-thinking again but personally, I like my mahÅ shÅjo series to be violent and dark; or perhaps I'm just watching the wrong genre at all.Like I said it's for a specific demographic, meaning some people won't get anything out of it and I've acknowledged the fact that I'm not their ideal viewer.

And no, I have not played or watched the original media yet but even if I will not have the opportunity to do that, it is alright; this spin-off is already plenty for me.
