5. Tomoya's Revelation On the Train (Clannad: After Story)
"Nagisa, I finally found it, a precious treasure that only I can protect. It was here, right in front of me, all along.."
In episode 18 of Clannad: After Story, Tomoya spent an entire day with his daughter, someone he never even got to raise because of his depression due to his wife, Nagisa's, death. When he finally spent a lot of time with his daughter, Ushio, and learned a little more about his father on their little trip, who loved Tomoya very much, he then realizes that he's been missing something that was right in front of him all along, a piece of Nagisa that was left behind, his own daughter. Someone he can love and protect. I haven't cried so hard at an anime before this show, and specifically this scene hit me the hardest. When he was telling Ushio about how he met Nagisa and what she was like, he started stuttering, like he couldn't get any more words out. At that moment, I realized that it was all the thinking he was doing, about Nagisa, that he just lost it and starting bawling, and I was bawling right there with him. The English dub did particularly well here, especially the way he said "Nagisa.." right before bawling. David Matranga's voice acting = 10/10.
4. Menma's Goodbye (AnoHana)
"Super Peace Busters are Friends Forever"
The entirety of AnoHana was pretty great, but the ending scene is what got me the most. Menma finally fulfilled her wish, and now she can pass on, but she can't do that without saying goodbye first. Nobody can see her, not even Jintan anymore, so she gets her notebook and writes a short letter for each of her friends before she disappears. While her friends are in search of her in the forest, she leaves her letters in a little circle, where her friends can find them. Each of them pick up their letters and read them, each saying something Menma loved about them, except for Jintan's. Jintan's had a different message, one that said how much she loved him. And after they read these letters, Menma is visible to all of them, as she leans against a tree. Throughout the show, only Jintan was the one who could see her, and none of the other friends in the gang could, nor would they believe him when he told them he could see her (but they eventually believed him). When this scene happened, I felt that it was a grand way to end everything, letting all the friends finally see Menma for themselves before she passes on. "Goodbyes aren't one-sided, ya know" Poppo tells Menma, after all of them returned goodbyes by saying they loved her, too. This scene will most likely forever be on my Top 5.
3. Suzuha's Letter (Steins;Gate)
"Okabe Rintarou, it's me, Amane Suzuha. It may have only been a few hours to you, but right now, it's June 13th, 2000. I'll get straight to the point... I failed."
The most astonishingly disheartening letter you'd ever read. Episode 16 of Steins;Gate has got to be one of the most depressing episodes I've seen. The scene where Okabe and co. read the letter aloud, finding out that Suzuha's time travel back in time, to get the IBN 5100 for Okabe, was futile, because her memories were erased due to going back in time with a half-fixed, faulty time machine. She only remembered herself a year before her death (suicide). This scene impacted me hard. I couldn't stop crying when the episode ended. Tears were definitely shed. After that episode, Suzuha became my favorite character (even though there were hints of favoring her for me beforehand). Every time I rewatch that episode, it still hits me the same, every time.
2. The Zero Requiem's Completion (Code Geass)
"The only ones who should kill, are those who are prepared to be killed."
Throughout the second half of the second season, everything kept going to hell, and Lelouch and Suzaku seemed like they were becoming more and more evil, hungry for power. It felt so wrong, Lelouch assuming the position of Emperor, after having killed his father, and I didn't know which side to root for anymore, Schneizel or Lelouch. They both were chaotic evils combating each other. Heck, even the Black Knights and UFN teamed up with Schneizel and stood up against Lelouch; that's how evil he seemed, that even his once loyal comrades turned against him.
The Zero Requiem was a master plan devised by Suzaku and Lelouch, after learning the truth behind Lelouch and Nunnally's mother's death and learning what Lelouch's parents were trying to do to the world, in the World of C (aka C's World). What Lelouch and Suzaku planned was the ultimate sacrifice, in order to bring world peace. They planned for Lelouch to accumulate the whole world's hatred, to be hated by everyone, uniting the world under a common enemy, by becoming a tyrannical dictator and controlling the will of others by force, even so far as to lie to -- and use Geass on -- Nunnally, and taking her as Lelouch's slave, the one person he was doing all of this for, in the first place, to create a better world for. And, when they finally beat Schneizel, and captured the leading members of the Black Knights and UFN, as those two parties were on their way to be publicly executed, Suzaku was supposed to dress up as Zero, show up at the execution site during the broadcasting, and murder Emperor Lelouch vi Britannia, in front of the entire world, letting all the hatred targeted towards him to die with him, as well. It went all according to his plan, to make the world unite for once, due to their mutual hatred for him, and realize that war is meaningless, and that we should focus on more important things in life, to make the world a better place, and avoid tyranny like this again. Lelouch went out with a bang, and did the best thing he knew how to do; lie. He put on an act to make the world realize the futility and disgracefulness of war.
Lelouch will go down in history as a war criminal, and a disgusting tyrannical dictator, and almost no one will know of his sacrifice.. no one will know what he did for the world. He did not only lose his life, but his reputation as well. He considered this punishment for all he's done as Zero, but, even Suzaku has sins, and Lelouch told him that this is a form of punishment for him, too. He will forever have to play the part of Zero, always wearing that mask, serving as a knight of justice, as the world reconstructs, never to go back to his old life as Suzaku Kururugi. No one will know of his sacrifice either, since people thought Suzaku died during the battle with Schneizel, protecting Lelouch, the dictator everyone loathed. Another punishment for him in all this is that he had to go against his principle and take a life, something he was always against doing, and it was his best friend's, no less. But, after all, he isn't Suzaku Kururugi anymore. He is Zero.
I'm honestly really glad Kallen realized what was going on. She realized the plan Lelouch made, just as it was occurring. That made me happy. She still clung to trust in Lelouch, she knew he had some sort of plan up his sleeve, that he wasn't doing all this for the sake of controlling the world, there had to be a catch, and she realized it. She even started yelling at Suzaku to stop, struggling in her binds, so Lelouch wouldn't die, since she knows he's not a bad person, that everything he's done was for the world, and yet, he was supposed to die, or the plan wouldn't be complete. Suzaku can't stop. But, what made me even happier is that his sister found out, too. As Lelouch's bleeding body falls and slides down the float, over to Nunnally, she's in complete confusion, but, then she sees something. She sees her dying brother smiling. When she notices this, she touches his hand, and in doing so, she gets visions of her brother and Suzaku forming this plan, and learns all about it, realizing Lelouch's sacrifice, all for his sister.. all for her to live in a better world. As the realization sets in, she starts to cry and scream at Lelouch as she clutches him, saying that she loves him and telling him not to leave her, saying that all she ever cared about was to be with her big brother, that she'd be happy for just that, implying that he didn't need to do all this to make her happy, and that she couldn't look forward to a future, without him. But, he did it anyway, and he's content with that, knowing that he's created a new world, a better world, for Nunnally to live the rest of her life in.. While no one will know of his sacrifice, Nunnally will, and.. maybe that's all that matters.
Another thing I love is, Zero is back, shown to be a knight of justice to the people again, and his name unsoiled now, because of the event. This symbol of justice for the people will continue to live on because of this. And what's even better is that Nunnally will inherit the title of Empress and rule Britannia, so we all know it's in good hands. The world can now stop focusing on war and focus more on fixing poverty and hunger around the world, and Nunnally will make sure of this. His sacrifice and hatred he accumulated towards him even made Euphy's genocidal event seem small in comparison, so Euphy won't be looked down upon as much anymore. So many problems were solved by this master plan of Lelouch's. He died by his own creation. A creation to rid the world of injustice, and that's what Zero did in the end.
This whole entire scene had me crying my eyes out. It had so much meaning, and fixed so many problems in the world. I sobbed so hard I almost couldn't breathe, while tears poured down my face. xD This scene topped even Clannad: After Story and Steins;Gate, in terms of sadness and impact, to me. I felt that it was a perfect end to this series, wholeheartedly, because of the meaning behind it all. It was a powerful end to the series, and it deserves every right to be on my Top 5 list, and will probably stay on the #2 spot for a long while, if not forever. xD
In the aftermath, the Black Knights were disbanded, Ohgi became Prime Minister of Japan, and war became obsolete. Negotiations around tables with other nations became a better method, and everyone focused on feeding the hungry and helping stop poverty. But, while the aftermath is great and all, one thing left me feeling a little sad at first; C.C. was left alone because of this, and never got her wish to die granted by Lelouch. However, I then remembered that her wish to die wasn't her true wish. Her real wish was to be loved. Lelouch realized that in the World of C, before Charles could take her life and code from her. In her past, she had a geass that made anyone who looked into her eyes love and adore her, but, it was never real love, it wasn't their choice, it was just the geass. She forgot what actual love felt like, but, I believe Lelouch gave it to her. She felt like she really felt love again, and even wanted to continue to try truly living again because of Lelouch. She realized this during the battle with Schneizel. Lelouch may have died, but he left a mark, and she will live, in his place. For if she died, she wouldn't be able to remember Lelouch. Those fond memories they shared would disappear forever.
There is speculation that Lelouch didn't die, however. That he inadvertently received his father's code of immortality in the World of C when his father grabbed his neck with the hand that had V.V.'s code symbol on it, before disappearing, and Lelouch merely needed to die to activate it, like C.C. and former Emperor Charles did to activate their codes. He has his father's code, which is probably why Nunnally saw those visions when she touched his hand, just like when Lelouch touched C.C. and saw visions of her past. There is an alternate ending that is up for debate in terms of legitimacy, but, it shows Lelouch as the carriage driver, at the end, chuckling when C.C. asks him a rhetorical question that the geass power doesn't necessarily leave someone living in solitude. Although there are some inconsistencies with the appearance of the carriage driver and the still-frame of Lelouch at the end of it, creating questionable credibility. But, if that alternate ending is legitimate, that would mean C.C. and Lelouch can now live together forever, immortal. Some people say it would also explain the name of the anime itself; Code Geass, the word "code" in the title might represent what Lelouch achieves in the end, as well as the term R2. "R2" is similar to how C.C.'s name is pronounced; "C2". R2 might mean R.R., and if you look at that in Japanese terms, it's actually L.L., since they pronounce L's like R's in that language. L.L. may stand for Lelouch Lamperouge, and only people with immortality codes get branded with such names. Some of that seems like a stretch, though. However, I figured something else that seems pretty reasonable to assume, C.C. was branded as "Code-R" by the Britannian experimenters, and so perhaps Lelouch, being connected to C.C., would be considered Code-R2, if he had a code, but, that would make more sense if he had her code, not his father's/V.V.'s, because that seems more like a brand for a successor, and if he has V.V.'s code, he succeeded him, not C.C. Or, for all we know, "R2" could just simply stand for "Rebellion Two", and we're all just pulling stuff out of our ass. In the end, though, I wouldn't totally mind it if him gaining a code and being the carriage driver was actually the canon ending. Although, I feel like it meant more that he actually died, atoning for his past misdeeds, being hated and sacrificing himself like that, for his sister, and the world. If he knew he'd continue living after the event, wouldn't that feel less like a sacrifice? xD But, to each their own, of course.
I do, however, hear a lot of people say the director of the anime confirmed that Lelouch dies, so, I'll just stick with that one for now, but, that doesn't mean the evidence to the contrary isn't a little compelling to me. But, I do think a lot of the "he's alive" speculations arose only because a lot of people prefer happy endings, and can't deal with such a bitter conclusion, so they cling to the possibility that it's not what it seems, to cope with it. They all may just be grasping at straws, with confirmation bias, to try to convince themselves of something that isn't true, so they can be content with the ending in some way. A decent counterargument to Nunnally's visions of Lelouch's plan being devised could be explained by the mere fact that Lelouch was in the World of C for so long, which could have an unknown effect like that. That's probably why Lelouch was able to see C.C.'s past when touching her, because she's connected to the World of C; the Consciousness, maybe it had nothing to do with her code, specifically, for all we know. And another thing, why did Suzaku cry while stabbing Lelouch, if he wasn't going to die? You think Lelouch would've told him he'd have a code and be immortal. But, hypothetically, let's say Lelouch having a code was true. If it were, it would be neat if Lelouch didn't even know he was immortal before his sacrifice. I actually wouldn't be against it, if that were the case. It would mean that he truly did sacrifice himself, and didn't know he'd come back to life. His selflessness with such a sacrifice was truly for the betterment of the world, and for his sister. If he knew he'd come back, it would sort of defeat the purpose of a "selfless" sacrifice to atone for his sins. As bright and strategic as he may be, he should at least have one more unexpected situation thrown in his face. And it would be a pleasant surprise for him, so that he may continue living, in a peaceful immortal life with C.C. forever. After all he's been through, he deserves it, and so does C.C., considering she has lived a lonely immortal life, until she met Lelouch. That said, even if he's truly dead, that's actually my preferred interpretation, because it's just so meaningfully depressing, and I love my bittersweet conclusions. But, I'm content either way.
P.S. The meaning behind this scene is reminiscent of how the video game Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater ended, which probably gave this scene even more sentimental impact to me, personally. If you've played that game, you'd know why. ;~;7 This anime and Metal Gear are similar in that they are both anti-war messages to their respective audiences, both with a unique take on the mecha and military genres, merging them into an interesting combination. I'm a sucker for anti-war narratives, especially how well Code Geass executed theirs. It was a brilliant story, and I will never forget it.
1. John Smith/Kyon's Choice (The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya)
Yes, there are two scenes in the #1 spot on this Top 5. I just couldn't choose between the two. This movie was chock full of great scenes, and these two stood out the most for me, so, they're both #1. But hey, at least they're both from the same movie, so it counts, right? Haha. xD
[John Smith] "How do you know all about me, who have you been talking to?! A North High uniform? Just who are you?!"
"John.. Smith!"
Before the movie The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya, there was an episode in The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya called Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody. In that episode, Kyon went to the past with Time Traveler Mikuru Asahina. They went back three years, for "classified" reasons. When he went to that time period, he met a young version of Haruhi, and helped her draw a glyph on the school grounds. The very same one from the rumors. The glyph was obviously signaling to possible 'aliens' that would see it. Then, the young Haruhi noticed his North High uniform and was curious of who he was, so she asked Kyon what his name was. He replied, jokingly, "John Smith." Let's fast-forward to the events of the movie, now. The moment Kyon was trying to talk to the altered world version of Haruhi, she wouldn't even listen, thinking he was just some random guy "trying to pick up chicks." So he did the only thing he could in that situation, yell something at her that only she and him would know. "Tanabata, three years ago!" He proceeded to tell her about the glyph she wrote on the ground when she broke into a school those few years ago. He yelled to her, explaining that she wasn't the only one at the school that night, there was a boy with her from North High, carrying a girl (Mikuru), who helped her draw the glyph, and he yelled to her what the glyph said, "I am right here." She stopped in place, looked back at him, confused, and headbutted him, asking how he knew all of this, and then asking what his name was after looking at his North High uniform. He told her the name he gave himself three years ago, when she asked him then, "John Smith." Haruhi proceeds to fall to her knees, flustered by the event before her, while Kyon feels content that he finally got her to listen to him. To me, this scene was phenomenal and flawless. I immensely wanted him to say that as his answer. I was like "Come on, Kyon! Say 'John Smith'! DO IT!" And he did just that. It was so satisfying, it gave me goosebumps.
P.S. - Funfact: In the first episode of the entire series, Haruhi recognizes Kyon, and asks him if they've ever met somewhere in the past, giving a foreshadowing homage to Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody, the episode where he goes 3 years into the past and meets her younger self. I found that humorously and cleverly placed. Of course, the Kyon then wasn't the same Kyon that went back in time, so, he merely said "I don't think so."
[Kyon's Choice] "Don't you think Haruhi, and all the weird things she made happen, were just a little bit fun? Spit it out!"
"Of course it was fun, and I loved every minute of it! How could I not find any of that fun, huh? Don't go asking me stupid questions that are so.. obvious! You'd have to be crazy to think it wasn't fun. Only the biggest idiot in the world would say it wasn't fun if they were asked. They'd be thirty times more dense than Haruhi. Aliens, Time-travelers and Espers, man?! One's enough... but no! I got to hang out with all three... And then there's Haruhi, who's got the craziest power of them all. Ask me as many times as you want, and my answer won't change... of course I do."
And then there's this scene. I get chills and goosebumps, as well as teary-eyed, every time I see this scene. There's not a single time I don't, when I watch this again, and again, while that lovely orchestral soundtrack "Ready?" plays in the background. It's the moment Kyon finally realizes something. He realizes that all the crap he had to deal with in the original world, with Haruhi's antics, Mikuru's time traveling, Itsuki's esper powers and Yuki's amazing alien finesse, they were all the funnest he's ever had in life. All of those things made life more interesting for him, there was never a dull moment, and he wouldn't ever want to throw that away. You never know what you have until it's gone, and Kyon found that out the hard way. He also realized something else; that Yuki developed feelings, emotions. It's the reason she altered the world in the first place. It wasn't "error data", as she put it. She was tired. She'd had enough of Haruhi's nonsense, getting dragged all over the place. She was tired of protecting Kyon, and she was tired of whatever else she had to do. Stuff Kyon and the others didn't even know about. I believe the Endless Eight story arc foreshadowed this, having to deal with over 15,000 time loops because of Haruhi. The fatigue from all those things just kept building up. And in all of that time, she developed inner emotions that couldn't be expressed externally. Nobody knew how she felt, and Kyon always relied on her to fix things. "Oh well, Nagato can fix this, she can do anything." But, that's a lie. She couldn't scream or shout, "I've had enough!" Which is why she went so screwy that she tried to change the world, to make it normal, to get herself the ability to express emotions for once, and she gave Kyon the choice, whether to keep it in this normal world without the supernatural, something Kyon always inadvertently complained about wanting, or, the choice to change it back to what it used to be, with Haruhi and the others together, in the SOS Brigade, surrounded by the supernatural. Yuki trusted Kyon to make the right choice, but he refused the offer, because, deep down, he truly did love Haruhi and everyone, he loved the weirdness and eccentricities, it made life more interesting, which was Haruhi's goal in life, all along. This scene was also flawless, with such impacting meaningfulness behind it. This movie truly was a masterpiece, and the scenes 'John Smith' & 'Kyon's Choice' definitely contributed to that. I just can't get enough of these scenes, which is why these both take the spotlight as my #1 favorite scene in anime.
Finally finished Steins;Gate after all this time. Lol It was pretty great. Thank you for the recommendation. It only took me 3 or so years to watch it.
Sorry for the massively late reply! MAL never emailed me about your response; could've sworn I had email notifications on, but apparently not...
Anyway, no problem, of course! It's what friends are for. Yeah, they are, but I actually only remembered because I watch you on DA, and they show the birthdays of people you watch in your message center. My usage of MAL is pretty sporadic, so I probably wouldn't have remembered yours if I didn't frequent DA daily. I hold nothing against ya. :P
I would love for us to talk more often, honestly. I know you don't use Steam or Skype, but perhaps you use Discord? Most likely not, but it doesn't hurt to ask, yeah?
it's fine, it's fine. we're both busy after all. Besides, we're like pen pals right? Only online. And our messages are sent late to the other... like pen pals! lol. Well, at least you guys have a car. That's nice. Who cares if it's a bit old? At least you guys can roam aound on that thing.
Well, lol. I used to be a procrastinator too, back in the day where my subjects were... normal. If it weren't for the level of difficulty these new subjects became and the ridiculously stressful two weeks/subject format, I'd still be procrastinating by now. In a normal term, in this third week of school, I'd probably haven't even touched my books yet XD. But well it's not like that anymore. We just had a final exam for a subject last Saturday, and a new subject starts tonight. And the final exam for that new subject... TWO SATURDAYS FROM NOW! YAY.... not. I missed being chill. It was a relief when I slept full 12 hours on Saturday night after the exam just to catch up on sleep. For our homework, it depends on the professor. There are some who answers our handouts during class, while there is this one guy who wants our homework answered before class (and for the record, 99% of the stuff of those hws aren't taught yet). But still, imagine the three inch book I told you. Half of that thing for two weeks, and that's just for the theories. There's another three inch thick book for the practice problems, and another seven parts of seven paged problem handouts... all in two weeks!
Lol, sorry for the rant.
Well I suppose that's fine. Better than losing all those files. lol that reminds me of diskettes for some reason Ahh, the short-tempered type. It's always those guys, lol. But he reminds me of my grandpa. THough I never met him at all, your story reminds me of my mom's story on how he always treats his kids. BUt yeah you have no choice but to bear with him until you find something new. Yeah, dealing with kid-tempered adults is a hard job lol.Yeah the good thing about emulators s that you can play stuff for free, and as is it's a trial version, you can buy the real thing if you really liked the game. Also, yes the saves were convenient and the speed boost is a time saver. And when you don't feel like being serious at all, the cheat codes are always there XD. Yeah, that's why I never borrowed anything at all now in college. I rather find a free ebook for some stuff or pdfs for academic stuff online. At least they'll be mine, the soft copies at least. No just books though. I always fear it when my mom insists of doing a general cleaning in our house. Aside from my dust allergies, she always wants to find stuff that she'll throw away. When she gets ahold of something with a sentimental value for me, may it be a little booklet or just a piece of paper, I always snatch it from her immediately before she throws them away. Before, she always gave one of my old school bags to a random niece of mine, I always get depressed. Those bags are mine, damn it XD. But yeah, repurchasing games you sold is a good idea. Regardless if you'll play them after the reacquisition or not, at least they'll stay by your collection.
As I told you before, my mom scolds me especially on school nights when I'm on any media for a prolonged time XD. Yeah the temptation to sneak out is always there, lol. Well you can get to the other girls' endings regardless when you're locked in to Mayuri or Kurisu's ending for the last chapter anyway. Suzuha's the first one you'd get, so at least your anticipation will be worth it. Yes. I really hope there's news soon for the 0 anime, but I fear that it won't be released this year at all :( Suzuha's my 1.5th best S;G girl, so I know what you mean XD. She's the "I didn't deserve this shit" type, and honestly I really want to see her happy without the WW3/dystopia problems. Ugh I really want a slice of life spin-off for the series in the Steins Gate world line XD. I just can't get enough, haha. Yeah those bastards, cash over convenience HAHA. I really hope that our Trump doesn't go all crazy when he's finally seated as president and I hope hell add our poor internet in his priorities. Yeah I remember the dial up days, god no way I'll ever want that back lol. I always tripped by the wire that connects to the phone and I can get conscious sometimes whenever I pass the floor where the wire used to be before, even now. lol.
Some people need to watch/read more stuff to get a better understanding of the stuff around them, tbh. Yeah, good thing you guys live in one roof now. Well, yeah. I don't have the slight idea why they even got married in the first place. All I have is this one picture of them together in some party wearing white. I thought it was the reception since they were only wed in court, but honestly I really don't know. I'm scared to ask them. Yeah life is unfair. Sometimes it feels like a drag just to live on, and sometimes you feel that you don't wanna die just yet. Human beings are strange. Yeah that's why I wanna graduate fast already and get a decent job that pays well. My mom always goes overtime just for work and I want her to retire already. Well, it's always NBA, and sometimes other stuff like the local league and some soccer too. Yeah, what you said.
I don't know, really. I can watch it right now this instant, but there are other shows that I want to go around first. There should be a certin level of ecchi that makes it get tagged as ecchi. There are some series i the ecchi tag that don't deserve it and some without the tag that do. I remember Toradora being tagged as ecchi in Kissanime. lol it makes no sense. Oh god Re: Zero. I just watched the latest episode and it delivers again. I want to see Rem smile now :'(. Also when Subaru made Ram swear that she'll not get mad at him, and then after she throws her at her twin lol. But that cliffhanger as usual, damn. Just right after I assume Subaru hitting Rem's horn. Aaaah I want more. I want to see the twins' backstory too. Why doesn't Ram have a horn? Why are the two allowed to live, despite being twins and despised? Subaru learns not to throw his life away, and yet he's using himself as bait TT_TT
Yeah, I'll wait for the pc version, which is the most affordable option atm lol. But imagining playing a VN on a console feels weird, alright. Hmm, that's a strange way to get invested on consoles, but it's not a bad idea, those trophy thing. Are they convertible to cash? lol jk. But yeah dont go too far just to get all of them, they might not be worth it in the long run.
Yeah. When you're honest all the time, bonds we formed with others are bound to break. That just proves that most of the people in my class are Candors, lol.
Well, maybe you didn't but the passage of time probably did. But that procedures you keep doing just for the files feels like a hassle >_>. Well maybe it is best for you to not piss them off, at least for now. But what till you do for a long term fix? You can't just rely on them forever. Yeah it sucks borrowing stuff for a long period of time. I remember borrowing a cousin's gameboy to play Firered and I actually got to the third gym, but I never got to continue anymore, well because it's not mine :/ I had no choice to emulate it years later, but still the experience is different compared to playing it on the real thing (this was before I got to play Emerald btw). I also feel like that with books I borrow from the library. I remember borrowing books and always found a loophole for me not to pay the overdue fee lol. The max I've hoarded a book was for 3 months lol but I got off with it even without them knowing lol sneaky elementary days. Yeah, returning something you considered yours at least a bit after borrowing it feels the worst.
(It's not? thank goodness. It's really crazy how much one subject can suck my brain cells out in two weeks. You know that feeling of the weeks before finals week where deadlines suddenly stomp you all over? That's the feeling, every single day. I wanna sleep for 24 hours straight already, god. But yeah, the length of my replies is inversely proportional to the amount of homework I have to finish every single night, i'm sorry.)
Yeah, the VN was just sooo good I was almost tempted to do an all nighter if we weren't planning to start our thesis on tht week XD. Well, that's probably the case since I already have an attachment with the series, and that helps my addiction lol. It's easier to get into something when you know what you're going into, it's like starting a new anime series. Oh, I see. You're playing without the walkthroughs the first time around, right? If so, that route will probably lead you to Mayuri or Kurisu's ending. The true (anime) ending is really hard to get without the walkthrough, trust me. Lol now that can't be just a coincidence right? haha. You should probably know it, since there is no such thing as a Moeka ending, it won't make any difference when you time leap or not, you'll eventually time leap to reach the next chapter, anyway, so yeah halt it when you sense it. Yes, but thankfully the anime still did the series justice. About the episode, it's around the part where it's time to undo Moeka's d-mail. I won't tell you the specific part, but you'll probably get the hint. Yeah, aside from the True end, I wouldn't mind the Suzuha end at all. Yeah it's annoying how games like Pokemon can't get multiple save files. It,s as if they really want us to buy another copy just to create another game. As if we have all the money we need lol. Yes, I agree. It just gets boring when life suddenly feels repetitive. So I have to suffer my faster net for a 1 mbps net and become unlimited? ugh equivalent exchange lol
Twins are unseparable since birth. Don't they get that? lol. Oh, sorry to hear that. good thing that their divorce at least didn't separate you two. Honestly, I think that maybe that's why I'm an only child is because something, aka my potential siblings and my lack of social skills, was sacrificed for my parents to be together. They used to fight a lot, they still do sometimes, but not as much as back then. It's like I'm the only reason that they're still staying together. They were really never anything romantic when I'm around, even now when I'm older. So I'm really thankful, blessed, grateful, the stuff. It's an equivalent exchange for me, I'm fine with that. But still, why can't families just be happy? even more so, why can't people choose wisely about their better half? You know the trend in our local dramas, where the large families are poor, but they're together, and the small family, rick yet separated. It's the same irl, and it's really unfair. Yeah, just checking the scores after a game is enough. No need to watch it, tbh, unless you have a valid reason why you're cheering for them. It's really annoying that my Facebook is filled with people posting about NBA every single day, especially recently. It's getting annoying.
Very good lol. Well that's alright. Keep your pace. I've considered NetoYome in the beginning of the season, but from what I've heard, the mc is the very least interesting, the bland self-insert type. Also it's ecchi tagged, So i'm kinda hesitating. Oh god, Re:Zero has been godly recently. Rem's such a badass, and Subaru.... just.... omg, man.
YES OH GOD YES. Though I want to wait for the PC release. Also, since PS3 games aren't compatible to PS4 (I assume), I really have no choice, even if I'm finally allowed to buy one of those. I want to get the original Steins;Gate too. I hope they'll release a promo here with the two games for PC sold together for less.
Well yeah, that,s what I considered too. There are lies that have to be said to protect people. But still, I was confused when we were grouped through our answers ad our class was equally divided. Before I ought that the answer was obvious. *shrug* Ehhhh. Gen 3 > Gen 6 remakes included. pff.
everyone's getting problems now god why lol. I get scary with stuff like that, when the computer backfires. Did you do anything weird? Or maybe it's updating itself without permission to Windows 10 and it got all loco jk. Same. The feel of privacy and (forgot the word, was at the tip of my tongue already ugh) is just different compared to others' pcs. It also feels liie invading their privacy, unless it's a public computer.
(Also, pardon me if my words seem jelly because my mind's still jelly from all the lessons lol. Also this seems shorter than usual. My mind's fried :/)
Who made the first visual novel though? it's just amazing how they managed to put together a storybook with different endings in a gameplatform that makes it more entertaining and lively. Yeah, it was the last entry that made in my summer bucket list and I really wanted to finish it lol. I have to redo everything from Chapter 2 to get Mayuri's ending though, but I don't have the time. It was non-stop ish that I had to force myself to sleep after XD. Btw, how's your progress? Hmm? I never heard of a female Chris irl though. You'd be really surprised when Nae gets in the picture. But you might skip it without noticing it. So when theres an option for you to time leap just after Nae's ********* appearance (keeping this vague), don't time leap. Trust me, lol. That part of hers just made it's anime episode obsolete for me tbh, it was written better than the anime, and the character motives are real. For the others, yeah there are slight anime differences. The episodes when Okabe tries to undo the d-mails are longer. But as for the routes, aside from Kurisu's, I found Suzuha's to be the best. Yeah, I saved at the choices that seems to be obvious that there's a different route possible. Thankful for save files slots, tbh. But I used a walkthrough for the messages that will get me to Kurisu's ending. I also kept a different save file per chapter, just for the heck of it, and just in case. It's really nice to see evolution and revolution in the works, especially for stuff like those games, and even anime. Yep, lol. Well there is an option to remove that limit. We just have to downgrade our plan and pay cheaper and get cheaper internet for a cheap price and a cheaper 1MB speed yeah I rather leech.
Ohh, you guys didn't have the same classes in your earlier days? interesting :o. was different from the set of twins in my old high school. Identical or fraternal, they're inseparable back then. Wow, that's such a unique feeling. You did share the same womb at the same time, after all. Sometimes I'm jealous of those. But I just think back, I still have both my parents and we're living together ever since. I'm grateful for that already. Oh, okay. Yeah, the stuff you'd able to discuss in sports is "Ohh xxx shoots the ball" "ooh a three pointer" and rinse and repeat lol.
Yeah, and wait till you see her in more detail in the VN and her VN route. Get the tissues. lol. Okay, just tell me when you do :)
Haha. With that population, it's like their last resort or something. Yeah, I would choose the latter too. What's amazing there is that our class was equally divided when we answered the question. IT just really proves how each person has different priorities, while some would prefer the welfare of the country, the others prefer their integrity as a teacher. Though yeah the possible war is horrible lol. Yeah it wasn't in ORAS. It was the one I wanted the most for the remake and they replace it with someting already in XY. hmph.
(Class starts tomorrow, expect slower replies :/)
Yeah, that's the only regret. Well I don't mind a voiceless novel. I mean, some of the Youtube Let's Plays of VNs mute the priginal voices and just dub with themselves. It's the same, just more immersed. Very interesting, that game. It's amazing how people come up with out of this world plots that would stll feel hearty. Thesis time aside, I just managed to finish the Steins;Gate VN with all endings except Mayuri's, it's hard to get hers while I was focused on getting to the True Ending. I had a walkthrough guide me for the messages because I wanted to see the True Ending right off the bat, while my summer lasted. And it paid off. It's still strange how other text still says "Kurisu" aside from that "Chris-chan." I kinda felt turned off at the beginning with that, snce Chris is a guys name after all, but it didn't mind as the story progresses. I don't know if you've heard of it, but Nae gets a surprising role in the VN ommited from the anime. It caught me off guard, haha. But overall, that 20 hours of playing was glorious. Man, the gamingverse is really more diverse than meets the eye. It's really good that indie devs are motivated in creating those games. And with game creating courses now appearing in universities here. It's good how the community acknowledges their work. Lol that's another reason why I never tried playing online games at home. Aside from the slow internet, the 50 GB limit is annoying. The only good thing about class starting again is that I can finally leech from the university wifi again for my anime lol. Faster internet can be accessible here, tbh, but there's not much of a difference from our current speed and i's expensive af.
IT's kinda cool, tbh. You get to become part of something unique while being a part of the general society. At least you two are inseparable. I remember the twins in my batch when they first entered our school in 4th or 5th grade. The two got separated classes, and eventually got into the same class because the young one kept crying in our class. The teachers allowed her to join the other class. Now they're sill inseparable, though taking up different degrees, it's still amazing, that unique bond. I can't really say, as an only child, but I'm sure every twin feels that way, bombarded with general questions and whatnot. Passerby-wives, huh? interesting term you got there. Have you met them recently? Yeah, sports is sickening. The local counterpart of the NBA here gets like three seasons per year, and people watch the same thing over and over and over, don't they get sick of it? Even anime gets tiring once in a while. haha.
Yeah, execution is key. It's always sad seeing the non-time revealing characters lose memories on what the protagonist experienced so far. Alright, enjoy :) also here's to hoping that Re:Zero doesn't get delayed because of stupid tennis
Got that on Tumblr lol. China thinks they're baws or something, but they're not. Btw, I remember a professor asking us "As a ethics teacher, would you rather fail your student who happens to be China's presidential son and spark a possible war or fake his grades and pass him and even receive the disputed islands in return?" What would you choose? lol i'm curious. Well I gave up after that. I discovered the world of emulating lol. So I downloaded it instead, I really wanted the battle frontier there. Sad that it wasn't in ORAS. Lol wtf is wrong with people moeifying everything? haha not that it's bad or anything but man, crazy ideas are crazy. Will try though hahaha.
(Well, a little. lol.)
Same, Japanese dubbed feels right for the light novel. I'm just finished Suzuha's arc and ending, and so far, it's really good. The only thing bugging me is when Mayuri or anyone mentions "Kurisu-chan" it shows up as "Chris-chan". wth? Yeah, Miyano is awesome, voicing the most famous guys like Light and Okabe (not to mention their maniacal laugh), that's why he's in my faves too XD. Yeah, I just found out about it recently when I was searching on Anohana merch. That's really amazing, it just proves how you don't have to be official or anything to achieve good stuff. All right, all right, timezones aren't a problem anymore haha. I've heard of those types of games before the LOL days, it's what people play in computer shops before. Well MAL is fine. It's basically made for anime fans to talk, so let's use the priviledge lol.
That's amazing, though I get the complaints you two have when others try to theorize you once in a while. People were like that too to the identical twins in our high school batch. They're female compared to you guys. Well, yeah sometimes. It's just me and my parents here. Occassionally some cousins visit or even stay over for a while, but those days are gone. Yeah ofc I have a cousin lol I can't have a cosplaying niece if I don't have a cousin right? lol. Well yeah there was one cousin I was close to before, and I'd like her to be my sibling, but she feels like my second mom. She lived at our place before she got married and moved to Malaysia. That's why I wanted to go there every other year at least, to visit her. Well yeah, of all my rivals it's the youngest sibling of the sforementioned cousin lol. She's older than me by months and lives in a province, but she comes and goes. honestly, these nieces, I told them to call me a sister instead of an aunt. I told myself that it's because I don't want to be assumed old, but maybe it's also because I wanted someone young to be a sibling, as I mentioned. Well the only one who has the TV all the time here is my dad haha. He's always hanging around the only cable TV here, good thing he doesn't use the internet as much lol. Wow you stayed up at that age? No one nagging you to sleep early? must have felt good, huh. Finally. I just don't get why it's so appealing or anything. And why are guys all over it, especially the NBA. It's the thing guys talk about first thing in the morning, my father included. sigh.
Lol it's hard to think that you never even noticed XD. Yeah, just the fact thst he has to die to time leap, thst's already something. Yeah it's also good that it's not only Subaru that gets development, but also the girls as well. Haha, it's obvious that the feels will be there (it already is ) but we still have less than 20 episodes to go, more feels to go, lol. Yeah the fantasy world is not a game, but another world entirely. Well he was given a choice of reincarnating or going to that world, after all. Yeah, watch it soon, esp. since season 2 is confirmed.
(lol i'm sorry XD. It's just I also pasted the reply to a different person by accident I thought I haven't sent it to you)
Yeah, Hollywood has its share. Yep, 2D>3D LOL. Yeah, there are more important things than military :/ Here, you might have heard of China hoaring for themselves the Scarborough shoal and the islands near it due to its oil supply. They even invented something like a 9-dash line boundary based on nothing, but these same islands are in our Philippine territory. So yeah territory problems. the problem here is that our government doesn,t know how to deal with such stuff. I think the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer is the same everywhere, tbh. But honestly the change is within the person himself. Well some people go for quantity rather than quality here. The Pokemon Emerald game was a fake because the cart wasn't made by Nintendo. Sure, the game inside is correct, but the doubt started growing when the cart deleted my saved file and no matter how many times I create and save a new file, it just doesn't save. I looked it up in Youtube vids where they compare the genuine one and the fakes and that's when I noticed that it's fake. Years too late though.
(You call your reply toned down? it's even more than last time haha)
The torrent link is here. I think it's from the official US distributor, so the translations are fine. It says that it's by JAST USA, and according to Google, it's a US Distributor. The voices are still in Japanese, but I don't mind. Everything is in English. I should have found this earlier in my summer break, it's too late now, but I'll try finishing it halfway, at least. 6 hours in game and I'm still in the part where Luka-kun becomes Luka-chan. this is gonna take a while *sigh* lol. On that note, I hope the Anohana VN gets translated as well, but it's only for the PSP. About that game, I probably heard of it somewhere but I can't remember. The description seems unique though, and it's made by non-Japs? that's amazing. I might download it next month. With the 2GB+ I already consumed for the Steins;Gate VN, I might not have room for other stuff I need on the internet this month. It's cool how they made it that famous and with that quality despite being non-profit. Well sure, we can play when I get my PS3 in the unknown future, but what about timezones? lel. So it's like SAO or something? Alright. Hang out? Sure. I just keep seeing memes that are anti-Facebook and most of them are from Americans. I'll think about adding you as a friend for a while. My account used to be full of anime pics a well, but it became a bit personal now. I'm okay for sites like Twitter or Tumblr though.
Ohh. You should really search it, that registration due date. It's gonna be worth it. I saw on Facebook some schoolmates who missed voting joined the manual counting of the votes just to be involved. So don't waste it. Ehh, such a waste. Ohh a twin. I assume Identical? That's okay, i've met 5 identical twins in my life so far, they're easy to dofferentiate when you know their unique thing. It amuses me to hear sibling stories, tbh. My mom is almost in the age limit of childbirth before I was born, so I never really expected siblings anymore. Sometimes I'm happy that I receive the undivided attention of my parents with being the only child, but sometimes I wonder how it's like to have a sibling. I've liked an younger brother. We could have traded Pokemon and play against each other as well, but as he grows up he learns to defeat me, lol. Stuff like those. Sadly I never had anyone to play with when I'm at home, so I always looked forward to school. Moving out? that's nice. Yeah finally a guy that somehow hates sports! lol. Yeah I also hated sports, so I aimed for the clubs with PE excemptions XD. Only in highschool though. In our sportsfests before, we're all required to be in at least one game, so I joined the relay. Lol, no yearbook. Three years after graduating and theres still no news about it.
Nice defense lol. Well kissanime vids have their five second "kissanime.me" logo in every video. Add the unnecessary funimation, kadokawa, universal and other intros, it gets annoying as much as taking up 30 seconds of the vid :p Yeah, gotta hate the sites that don't allow adblocks. Told you Re: Zero is amazing. It's even your time travel type XD. Yeah, it's sad seeing Subaru losing it, but it's inevitable. Academia is my second. Dunno about third, though. Yeah, it was great seeing Beatrice going far to protect Subaru, and the revelation of Ram and Rem staying by Subaru's side as he gets nightmares, just, woah. Indeed it does feel like the witch, Satella probably, bring Subaru to the fantasy world. I wonder if the real world is gonna get involved if that's the case, the witch knowing about another world, but maybe I'm just thinking too much. Well, Konosuba was alright. It's like SAO without the generic MC, without the obvious harem candidates, and with more comedy. The male MC has more character in him than Kirito, heck, he even dies in a ridiculous way before reaching the fantasy world. The girls will initially fool you of how great they are, but there will be the equal corresponding negative character trait to counter their positives, and how the show handles those negatives in a comedy is great. Well fansevice is still inevitable to it though. One main girl doesn't seem to wear panties, the boobs tend to jiggle weirdly and episode 9 is full blown fanservice. It's up to you when you'll like it or not. I say it's enjoyable.
Well at least that's because games are interactive, despite their genre, and is more accessible than anime, at least here. The merch and other stuff are somewhat easy to obtain too. American fans, I mean fans of Hollywood, yep, their artists, and the song artits, the tv series, those stuff. Yeah, Hollywood films are actually more preferred than local films, unless the famous people/couple from soaps ae featured. Yeah, we have it rough. we mostly have to import stuff, ut we export some too, mostly agriculture stuff. Our military is even weak, and sometimes useless. some officials wanted some of your military to be based here. I just learned it recently. The most popular anime merch chain here mostly sells either bootlegs or low quaity stuff. I was searching on nendos, and I found out about the fact. Sad thing. It's probably because the malls don't even check some of the quality of whatever they allow to be franchised in them. Even some games they sell are bootlegs, not sure about them now, but I remember getting a fake Pokemon Emerald before. Maybe that's just because GBA games are easy to fake, yeah, but it seems impossible that the mall sells them bootlegs. Yeah, aside from DBZ, that's it. Some channels rerun old seasons of the famous shounens, but that's just to fill missing air time. I don't think a lot of people watch them.
(Yeah, and you're the same person who told me to tone down our convo :P lol. School is less than a week, I might not catch up on your replies in a week at this rate. I'll start toning down mine.)
Alright, alright. Yeserday, I found a nice Steins;Gate PC torrent, so I tried it, and it works so far. I'm hooked despite knowing the story lol. I can settle with that for now. Wow, too much information there. But, yeah, that world has to wait. Oh, isn't there a English PS3 version of the Steins;Gate VN? Is it the same one as the Japanese one? I happend to find it while searching in the torrents, then I searched the Datablitz site and they had it. I haven't played that yet... I haven't played visual novels yet, tbh. Well, whatever. I might be your liability fr that multiplayer XD. Yeah, mobile games are prominent here too, since it's easily accessible to kids and adults. It's convenient, as almos everyone has a phone and buying a console or a handheld can be expensive. Not everyone can afford them, especially in a country like ours. Console gaming isn't big for everyone here, but for those who can afford it, it is. I see few Facebook groups of gaming circles and stuff. On a random note, I remember a viral pic where someone bought a PS3 and a TV to play in the campus. I don't know what happened after that though, they either got confiscated or was just ignored overall XD Well I guess every country has their own mainstream store. I meant, that the store sells a higher % for their profit. Compared to other stores, the SM I mentioned can get expensive, but it's not the most expensive. Well there are those type of people who doesn't want a Facebook account for whatever reason. I know they're mostly Americans, but there are some here as well. I was surprised when you first mentioned that you use Facebook, lol.
You live in the middle of nowhere, oh. No public transport there or anything? But still, you have to exercise your right. Some schoolmates of mine regretted not registering for the election, and you might feel the same. But why did your brother spoil that? so unnecessary -_- ohh you have siblings? How many? Yeah, I really need to find that envelope, and exchange it with the bank since the old bill can't be used for normal transactions anymore. Well our old school has been getting low admissions rates when I was in high school. Heck, when the neighboring schoolshave like 7-8 sections for them, ours have only 3-4, with our batch being the fewest, only 2 sections for the chinese batch. Lol we're only allowed to cut class when we have to rehearse haha, but yeah we can cut our PE class without the grade being jeopardized. Good old days. Ohh, a yearbook. We never had those, no, more like our yearbook is eternally delayed XD Oh you're an admin before too? that's nice. Yeah admining pages became a chore to me as well when I quit my pages before. It was fun while it lasted though. Ugh everytime I hear the name Miyazaki I immediately think of Ghibli so I had myself staring at the name there, and realized late that it's a different Miyazaki lol.
Well, we have our opinions. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I just don't want him joining the Villains society or whatever its called, haha. I want him independent, at least. Yep, he's in the specials. The specials focus on Saitama ofc, Genos, Sonic, Bang, the psychic sisters (mostly Fubuki) and the last one will probably have all of them. Kissanime and KaT?lolwut? jk. Yeah, the reason I like it too is the easy 480p access. The first five seconds of their videos are pretty annoying at times though XD. Nice, you've started Re:Zero! Yeah, I wouldn't describe it as repetitive anymore though, after seeing the last episode. It's just sad for Subaru to die countless time to save the character/s of the arc. But that's how time travel plots are, alright. Yeah, Emilia does feel like a toned down Tsundere, even less than Kurisu, i think. Yeah, I like unique tsunderes as well, those that don't go ~you baka~ every five minutes. But yeah, his death in the past two episodes is really impactful. ;_; It's just really curious how he smells of he witch scent and how he is not allowed to tell others his secret. I can't wait for the witch to appear. I can't watch KnK this week, but I might watch it near the end of the season, same with what I did with Konosuba last season.
Well at least that's because games are interactive, despite their genre, and is more accessible than anime, at least here. The merch and other stuff are somewhat easy to obtain too.

Yeah, I wouldn't describe it as repetitive anymore though, after seeing the last episode. It's just sad for Subaru to die countless time to save the character/s of the arc. But that's how time travel plots are, alright. Yeah, Emilia does feel like a toned down Tsundere, even less than Kurisu, i think. Yeah, I like unique tsunderes as well, those that don't go ~you baka~ every five minutes. But yeah, his death in the past two episodes is really impactful. ;_; It's just really curious how he smells of he witch scent and how he is not allowed to tell others his secret. I can't wait for the witch to appear. I can't watch KnK this week, but I might watch it near the end of the season, same with what I did with Konosuba last season.
(I actually had this reply in progress on my notes but I didn't notice that I deleted it for some reason, so I had to do it all again. I feel stupid lol)
That's probably why people grow tired out of anime venture to other mediums. Well, at least that's how I see it. Yeah, Crunchy is the only one here. There aren't much anime fans as there are local drama fans, K-pop/drama fans, or general American fans. It's hard being an anime fan in a third world country lol. There aren't much authentic anime stores, most of the stuff they sell in malls are bootlegs. For mangas, it's also limited. The last time where I bought my Noragami volumes is in Malaysia. Anime discs are also a rare find. Thats why we have no choice to resort to pirates, like in torrents or the st. $1/ anime series DVDs. And the last anime that boomed here was freaking
DBZ, that was a long time ago.
(Lol writers ahve a hard time to conceal their writing eagerness)
Like I said, I'd like to venture the gaming world if I had enough money, time, money, time, and money. It's really amazing how people can go those lengths just for their passion. For now, the thing I really like to have most is the Steins;Gate VN lol. I don't think my parents will allow me to get a console yet, so that has to wait, but yeah I'd really get a PS3. Lol you really want to play against a female beginner? Smells unfair, jk. But sadly, you have to wait. Yeah, the console shops I knew closed already. Aside from the one I mentioned before near my old school, the one near my university closed up as well. But maybe that's also because it's hard to maintain and all, and because computers are the most accessible thing ever. I don't know, but that's my hypothesis. Especially now Clash of Clans is on the loose here as well. Well, there is a toned down version of Gamestop here, named Datablitz. Sadly, there are only a few branches, and there's none near the malls near home. I haven't heard of BestBuy here, and there's this called Waltermart but I don't know if it's any related to Walmart. The biggest mall chain here is SM. They sell games too, but only limited, and they always sell a % higher than the selling price. Tbh females are either mainstream and sociable or not. And I'm more of the latter lol. I'd like to contact her, but I don't know how, and even if I do, it's hard to catch up with her. Her family is leagues more richer than ours lol.
Yeah. As I said, I was spoiled by her death, but the hints are particularly easy to find if you're observant. Heck the government is the master of loopholes and whatever shit. They'll find a way. Ah, November? Not too far anymore. I also hope Trump doesn't become final. Heck even the most corrupt people in our government doesn't want him. I just really tend to compare series with the same genres if I watch them consecutively. Which do you like better though? I might not even start yet on a new series this week, because aside from finishing Toradora, I want to complete my Steins;Gate series rewatch, next up being Episode 25 and the movie, and also the Anohana movie after that. I want to finish Rick Riordan's new book this week too. Also since we're starting our thesis this week as well, my last week of summer is really booked, lol. Sakurasou has to wait. As I told you, I'm kinda thrifty, growing up in a Chinese community and all. Honestly, I should really find it within this year, because the bank note in that envelope is the old one, and our country announced that the old notes will be obsolete next year, so at least I have more of a reason to find it lol. Yeah, the clubs at my old school are kinda lame, especially in my senior year where they actually required us to join a chinese-themed club, and they're all pretty lame. Why require us to join a club we're barely interested in? ffs. But that's cool, gaming anime club. Yeah, the reason I joined that club because it's so peculiar. It's not something you see everyday. We even got to be excempted on our PE classes, and of course, cut classes when necessary lol. Yeah, the Disney renaissance days, miss it. Yeah, the fact that Lelouch took his quote too literally makes him even a better MC. :( Hah, the abuse of power is everywhere, even in a geeky place like this. I also have experiences with FB admins, lol, as a fan and even as a content contributor. I had my experience there before and some people are just too tyrannical. Just because you don't post on his page on one day you automatically get kicked out. Boo.
That's good. I don't want Sonic to join the Hero association tbh, he's fine as it is, the antagonist ninja guy that got punched in the nuts LOL. He gets his focus in the special too, it's a funny watch. The good ones getting delayed *cries* Yeah, it gets better at least when Kurumi finally does her thing. Kissanime is a straming site with direct download links. You assumed it as a torrent site? Hehe I'm sorry for that. It's really the best site for direct downloads, as I sometimes use direct downloads more than torrents. Just create an account, turn off your adblock, and you're free to go. And also I once said that I leech my uni's wifi, so I usually use my phone to download, and since torrents don't work on the school wifi, direct downloads it is. Start on Re:Zero if you get the time. Its episodes so far have the early Steins;Gate feel, but a bit repetitive like the episode with Okabe time leaping to save Mayuri, the MC repeating the loop and all. It's honestly better so far watched weekly than binged.

Anyway, no problem, of course! It's what friends are for. Yeah, they are, but I actually only remembered because I watch you on DA, and they show the birthdays of people you watch in your message center. My usage of MAL is pretty sporadic, so I probably wouldn't have remembered yours if I didn't frequent DA daily. I hold nothing against ya. :P
I would love for us to talk more often, honestly. I know you don't use Steam or Skype, but perhaps you use Discord? Most likely not, but it doesn't hurt to ask, yeah?
Well, lol. I used to be a procrastinator too, back in the day where my subjects were... normal. If it weren't for the level of difficulty these new subjects became and the ridiculously stressful two weeks/subject format, I'd still be procrastinating by now. In a normal term, in this third week of school, I'd probably haven't even touched my books yet XD. But well it's not like that anymore. We just had a final exam for a subject last Saturday, and a new subject starts tonight. And the final exam for that new subject... TWO SATURDAYS FROM NOW! YAY.... not. I missed being chill. It was a relief when I slept full 12 hours on Saturday night after the exam just to catch up on sleep. For our homework, it depends on the professor. There are some who answers our handouts during class, while there is this one guy who wants our homework answered before class (and for the record, 99% of the stuff of those hws aren't taught yet). But still, imagine the three inch book I told you. Half of that thing for two weeks, and that's just for the theories. There's another three inch thick book for the practice problems, and another seven parts of seven paged problem handouts... all in two weeks!
Lol, sorry for the rant.
Well, maybe you didn't but the passage of time probably did. But that procedures you keep doing just for the files feels like a hassle >_>. Well maybe it is best for you to not piss them off, at least for now. But what till you do for a long term fix? You can't just rely on them forever. Yeah it sucks borrowing stuff for a long period of time. I remember borrowing a cousin's gameboy to play Firered and I actually got to the third gym, but I never got to continue anymore, well because it's not mine :/ I had no choice to emulate it years later, but still the experience is different compared to playing it on the real thing (this was before I got to play Emerald btw). I also feel like that with books I borrow from the library. I remember borrowing books and always found a loophole for me not to pay the overdue fee lol. The max I've hoarded a book was for 3 months lol but I got off with it even without them knowing lol sneaky elementary days. Yeah, returning something you considered yours at least a bit after borrowing it feels the worst.
(It's not? thank goodness. It's really crazy how much one subject can suck my brain cells out in two weeks. You know that feeling of the weeks before finals week where deadlines suddenly stomp you all over? That's the feeling, every single day. I wanna sleep for 24 hours straight already, god. But yeah, the length of my replies is inversely proportional to the amount of homework I have to finish every single night, i'm sorry.)

everyone's getting problems now god why lol. I get scary with stuff like that, when the computer backfires. Did you do anything weird? Or maybe it's updating itself without permission to Windows 10 and it got all loco jk. Same. The feel of privacy and (forgot the word, was at the tip of my tongue already ugh) is just different compared to others' pcs. It also feels liie invading their privacy, unless it's a public computer.
(Also, pardon me if my words seem jelly because my mind's still jelly from all the lessons lol. Also this seems shorter than usual. My mind's fried :/)
(Class starts tomorrow, expect slower replies :/)
(Well, a little. lol.)
Yeah, Hollywood has its share. Yep, 2D>3D LOL. Yeah, there are more important things than military :/ Here, you might have heard of China hoaring for themselves the Scarborough shoal and the islands near it due to its oil supply. They even invented something like a 9-dash line boundary based on nothing, but these same islands are in our Philippine territory. So yeah territory problems. the problem here is that our government doesn,t know how to deal with such stuff. I think the rich gets richer and the poor gets poorer is the same everywhere, tbh. But honestly the change is within the person himself. Well some people go for quantity rather than quality here. The Pokemon Emerald game was a fake because the cart wasn't made by Nintendo. Sure, the game inside is correct, but the doubt started growing when the cart deleted my saved file and no matter how many times I create and save a new file, it just doesn't save. I looked it up in Youtube vids where they compare the genuine one and the fakes and that's when I noticed that it's fake. Years too late though.
(You call your reply toned down? it's even more than last time haha)
(Yeah, and you're the same person who told me to tone down our convo :P lol. School is less than a week, I might not catch up on your replies in a week at this rate. I'll start toning down mine.)
