Kenshin_sama

I learned the value of pacifism from Rurouni Kenshin.

Not only is it addicting, you get into a habit of scheduling everything around raid times. If you're in a proper raiding guild, you're gonna be expected to show up at particular times. My guild used the EPGP loot distribution method for boss drops, so I went out of my way to not miss a raid so that I could keep my priority.

Not including specials, OVAs, and movies. Sequels done by Madhouse: Chi's Sweet Home Chihayafuru Panyo Panyo Di Gi Charat Galaxy Angel x3 Kaiji Hajime no Ippo x2 Juubee-chan Saiunkoku Monogatari Stitch! Sequels done by White Fox: Gochuumon wa Usagi Desu ka? Jormungand Even if I were to include non-TV sequels, Madhouse would still win by a wider margin. Popularity doesn't always guarantee a sequel. I don't know how Hataraku Maou-sama holds up in Japan, but on MAL, it seems to be significantly more popular than GochiUsa and Jormungand, yet hasn't had an announcement for a sequel yet. It's been 2 years since the anime ended, and the LN is still publishing. Not saying you shouldn't have any hope for it at all, just to keep your expectations low. Like I said, there's really no easy to to predict whether an anime gets a TV sequel or not. Specials, OVAs, and movies are far more likely to happen.

Pretty much this. Although if you're only playing for the lore, you should be fine. Just don't get into endgame stuff and you'll be okay. I've actually been wanting to get into WoW's lore myself, but I never got around to it. I'm worried that I'll want to get into raiding again if I start playing it at all. For me, it's really not easy at all to avoid gaming addictions. D:

...I can't.

Hello, I'd like a lancer class servant please.

I'm still not entirely sure. Steins;Gate did get 2 proper sequels with the special and movie, but those don't require a TV slot for the initial airing. GochiUsa and Jormungand got TV sequels, but they were both 1-cour. White Fox has never done a TV sequel for anything longer than that. I'm not saying it won't happen, but it doesn't seem promising. At best, it'll get a movie or special/OVA.

Tsumiki is adorable. <3 9/10

That has given me a lot to think about. Ever since I started playing WoW, I've very much developed the kind of addiction you described. Granted, I actually did enjoy the WotLK expansion, but I only played Cataclysm for the PvE rankings. It didn't help at all that I was at the top of performance charts and meters in my guild, other guilds, and sometimes even worldwide (that's when the real obsession begins). Since then, I've put myself through misery in games like Runescape and Osu for the sole purpose of gaining ranks and feeding my ego. Granted, I did enjoy doing quests in Runescape, but I've finished them all and I'm kinda dreading the thought of putting hundreds of hours into grinding xp for ranks. Osu is pretty fun to play on certain beatmaps, but it's a ton of work to get decent at it and it's easy to fall into bad habits that can kill the game for you. I've also put a lot more strain on my tapping hand than I should have. I loved playing Osu at first, but it's been a couple years now and it feels more like I'm in it for the fame than for the fun. The one thing about playing games like these is that they make me feel like I'm actually good at something. I was raised in a low-income family, and because my parents were always away at work and I had too many responsibilities taking care of my siblings, doing chores, and never having a regular allowance to spend, I never had the chance to pick up a more productive hobby. A small handful of video games and basic cable were all I had for the longest time. As much as I loved playing enjoyable games that weren't competitive, I still felt like I was lacking something. With online games, I loved the idea of being acknowledged for my skills as a gamer because it gave me a certain sense of pride. Considering how average I am in everything else, this was refreshing in a way. Sadly, however, there are too many downsides to this. The biggest one is that even if I do feel accomplished, I'm still not happy. I get a brief moment of satisfaction whenever someone acknowledges my prowess, but it doesn't last long. Having to put time into something I don't like has made it more difficult for me to cope with depression. I can also get pretty anxious when I'm coming close to a major achievement that I could mess up on. Things like keeping my hardcore status (not dying) on Runescape during a tough boss fight or holding out for a full combo on Osu are pretty nerve-wracking. And because it takes up so much time, I have difficulty putting in the time I need to get my life together (losing weight, finding a job, preparing for college, etc), and that just drives me even further into depression. Pulling myself out of online games would free up a lot of my time, which I could spend doing things I actually enjoy. Thanks for posting this. Reading your article and typing about my experience helped me realize how much of a hole I've dug myself into with online games. I don't know if it'll last long (it probably will), but right now I'm convinced that I shouldn't be playing these anymore.

I didn't like Chinami either, and my opinion of her was still low even after her route, but I really liked the drama in her route. I'd actually consider it one of the better side routes in the game.

No!

I'm so sorry.

Large demand doesn't always equate with more product, so I wouldn't get your hopes up even if it is popular. The anime industry seems to be more focused on putting out new titles than in continuing popular ones. I've long since held the idea that the goal for newer shows is to advertise rather than to satisfy. I suppose it makes sense too; if the viewers are satisfied with the anime, they won't want to buy the source. I would hope that Re:Zero is an exception, but I'll keep my expectations low. I had to learn this the hard way with Accel World.

That's a pretty decent cup. I'd consider buying one. 7/10

Before it was fixed, you could even jump the barrier and get an early kill on the boss. Yeah, acrobatics did get abused to all hell (rip silt striders). I kinda miss it though.

They're pretty tame compared to LOGH fans. And see that's where I'm the opposite. In a lot of ways, One Punch Man is set up to be antithetical to standard shounen stories, and the parts where he gets trashed on despite his incredible feats is just another way to establish that. Sure, it's not for everybody, but I appreciate it. The comedy did tone down a little after a bit.

Oh, sorry about that. Honestly, there haven't been that many notable action series that are light on fanservice lately. Although now that I think about it, One Punch Man would be right up your alley. The focus is pretty evenly split between action and comedy, and they're both really well done. The tension is toned down a little bit by Saitama's capabilities, but the animation is great and the sequences leading up the end of the fights are peculiarly exciting. It's a unique anime.

Re:Cliffhanger. Seriously, when that episode ended, I thought it was the halfway break. That went by way too fast. o.O

Thanks. Morrowind best ES though.

I know the feel. Lately I've stopped watching and reading stuff that grab interest and only getting into what some of my friends recommend. I've actually been quite a bit happier doing that. Not only do they have great tastes, but I get the added bonus of being able to hype with them, lol. But right now, I'm still trying to clear my existing backlog, which roughly looks like this.

Confession: I almost panicked when Imgur told me my images were gone, but thankfully they appeared after refreshing the page. That was almost my entire collection of shitpost images right out the window. That line is so damn familiar, but I can't remember what it's from.

Everything's subjective. The melodrama annoyed me to no end, and I could not figure out the setting for the life of me. If it weren't for its length, I wouldn't have felt compelled to finish it. The action is pretty okay though.
