Report jdimaria3's Profile

I went to Philedelphia in May/early June to visit my sister and her family, as well as my older brothers and my oldest brother's family. It was for celebrating my nephew's birthday. It was pretty nice, but IT WAS SO HOT, and I had an ice-pick headache that went on and off for the past couple of days. Me and my second youngest brother went to see the Liberty Bell, and we mainly spent time just doing things with my sister and her family.

As for Captain America and Finding Dory, I loved both of them. That twist with Bucky was legitimately shocking, which is weird because I thought I saw a spoiler for it before seeing the movie in theaters. As for Finding Dory, I couldn't stop laughing over half the time! XD I heard that it was a "tear-jerker" from one of my younger brother's friends(we were co-workers at my summer job and we carpooled) which heard that from either one of his siblings or someone else he knew, and I really don't understand how they could have drawn that conclusion, because it ended up being happy and funny in the end despite that initial suggestion of Dory's parents being dead. ._.

Was X-Men Apocalypse any good? I've heard the quality of some X-Men movies were either hit-or-miss, so I want to know if it's closer to Days of Future Past or First class quality(which I've heard is good, as I haven't seen it myself) or Origins: Wolverine "quality"(again, haven't seen it, but I heard it's bad), as I may be interested in seeing it. And was Sausage Party any good? I haven't seen it and I heard it was hilarious, but I've seen photos of it and hearing it's a rated R movie focused on food with Dreamworks/Pixar-ish animation, a lot of swearing(including using F-bombs), gore(human and food), and sexual innuendos makes me feel a little more disturbed than anything...Then again I watch and love South Park, so I don't know whether I'd like it or not.

No worries. I totally understand.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Magi. It has heavy inspiration from The Arabian Nights, has some pretty great fights, especially in the dungeons, and I personally thought the characters, the conflicts within the show, and the motivation of the 2nd season's villain were the strongest parts of the show. I'd currently consider the Balbadd arc to be my favorite with Kingdom of Magic's Magnostadt arc being my 2nd favorite. However, I thought the 2nd season's first few episodes moved a bit slowly compared to the rest of it.

I had a pretty great summer! I was able to watch Pete's Dragon, Captain America: Civil War, and Finding Dory in theaters, I got a good paying summer job, I went on at least 2 trips with my family(one to visit my sister and her family, one for a family vacation), I was able to watch all of Fate/Zero, Patema Inverted, My Hero Academia, Eureka Seven, both seasons of Magi, and finally decided to start watching Toradora!

It was a bit of a lazy summer for a while, but I thoroughly enjoyed it. :)

Hey, jdimaria3! Have you ever heard of the anime Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic? I noticed it wasn't on your anime list, so I'm just curious. :P Also, how have you been? Done any especially fun things this summer?

nonono, Ill check it, just not now, I have no time at all, exams are coming soon, so you know...

Thanks for reading it and messaging - I'm glad you liked the review. :D And that I was able to convey what the anime meant to me. Sometimes I think I'm too verbose, but I'm glad that section got the right meaning across!

Hey.

Oh it's quite a wall of text lol. I'll check it someday, I have no time at all for now... Sorry

Hey, how have you been doing?
its been 100 years already xD

Good news! The SAO II dub is coming out March 28th! It will premiere on Toonami, and I'm pretty sure it's during the 1:00 A.M. block(I'm pretty sure it's after Gurren Lagann and Kill la Kill's block on Toonami).

School Days was terrible in my opinion! I guess I can hand it some points for pretty good music, and some character development in the form of character regression by the end, but a story about a sex addict cheating on his girlfriend just isn't that good for a story IMO, and most of the characters were unnecessarily cruel. The lack of backgrounds and the like also made it really hard to relate to the characters. :P

I plan on doing a full review of the series sometime, but I'll have to rewrite it since it was about 90% spoilers the last time I attempted a review of it.

Excellent job on your review of Gurren Lagann! I've only watched 6 episodes thus far, and this review makes me excited for the rest of it.

Honestly, I don't really have any constructive criticisms for this review. I guess mentioning that the solutions to their problems that seem impossible in the latter half are explained in a way that makes logical sense could have been one thing, but overall, you did a great job.

If you haven't yet, I'd recommend watching Kill la Kill. It's by Studio Trigger as well, it has insanely over-the-top action, and it also uses that "Throw logic out the window" thing that Gurren Lagann uses. There is A LOT of fan service though. If you don't mind that anime trope(since I know this trope is controversial), I'd recommend checking it out.

Merry Christmas!

I'm honoured.

You are welcome :P

That's awesome! Nice to meet you, I hope we can get along well xD

Yeah everything is in English. However, unfortunately there are no fan translations of Progressive series, reboot of Aincrad arc, story goes floor by floor (only first volume, and not full). But official translation also comes soon by Yen Press. If you need, I can put mine PDFs to Dropbox, or may ask Lastchapter, if torrent is not fine to you.

Here is link to chronological order for reading side stories if you are interested. It's up to you to read in releasing order or in chronological order. However, most SS were created later or even after 10 years or so, so by reading in chronological order you may find few minor discrepancies or lose minor development a little bit. Thus, You would be pretty much trading progressiveness over development (As some people may say, but I don't think that it's like that too much). However, I think it's no sense to go back to the first arc after already reading few arcs ahead. Personally, I prefer chronological order for better consistency. :P

I'm from EU, Lithuania, so probably I'll be shipping from Amazon, so it may cost... ^^

Hope that helps :P

That's happening not particularly with SAO reviews, it's like that with most things here, honestly speaking. Also, you know, there are much more SAO fans than haters, it's more like haters tend to show up more often. To think about that, in mostly places I've seen, SAO has honorable >8/10, that means it's pretty damn good. xD

there are already 2 SAO volumes released as official English translation in USA , and there are coming more soon. If you need, I have all 14 volumes pdfs (15 is still being translated, and there will be much more later on, like 25 or so) and some side stories (they are important also). 2 SAO seasons adapted only first 8 volumes. So if you need them, just ask.
I'm waiting myself for more volumes to be released and I will definitely buy them all at once to support author, cuz I love him. xD
Shipping is quite expensive here.

I enjoy most things I watch, to be honest. Ye sure, Clannad is really enjoyable show :P
I send you friend request, if you are OK with that, :P
