Back in Georgia, which is a massive disappointment compared to California. Had fun, got smashed, laid and stoned. Fun was had by all. Expect a full writeup in the coming days, if that's your thing.
Alright. So it has the same sort of thing going on as Bleach, but its delivery is pretty solid.
A likeable protagonist, decent fight sequences.
Only thing I find a little irritating, (and it might just be me), is that it is visually, a little too dark. (Again probably my TV)
I struggle to keep up sometimes, because everything looked almost black.
What I did see was good. Some pretty nice animation. Doesn't abuse CGI. (Man I hate anime with dodgy CGI models everywhere. It just removes that suspension of disbelief and slaps you back to the observant layer)
I hope once I finish watching them all, I can still say good things, but it looks pretty optimistic.
EDIT: Maybe that should be a good little project to do. Watch a bunch of anime, then provide a reviews of them. From a more casual perspective.
Lets be honest here, you have to take reviews on anime with a grain of salt, since people tend to have favourites and most reviewers are really skin deep in that culture.
Being a relative outsider, people may find my perspective interesting.
Plus it wouldn't require loads of effort. I can just sit down and watch stuff. ITS PERFECT!! XD

And now this conversation has gotten extremely creepy and I sound like a some sort of stalking pervert stalker who stalks pervertedly. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just as I planned!

Also, I'm now craving this shit:
My gods, so delicious! I had so many of these Chinese boba tea things in Berkeley. They must be made of crack, because they're hella addictive.

We were in church, Mommy and me. Daddy told us that he would come find us. Daddy had to go do something. We had to wait for him in church.
Everybody was there. They all had stuff. They had cereal, and water, and and juice, and sleeping bags and flashlights and... (She mimes a rifle.) Mrs. Randolph had one. She wasn’t supposed to. They were dangerous. She told me they were dangerous. She was Ashley’s mommy. Ashley was my friend. I asked her where was Ashley. She started to cry. Mommy told me not to ask her about Ashley and told Mrs. Randolph that she was sorry. Mrs. Randolph was dirty, she had red and brown on her dress. She was fat. She had big, soft arms.

Except that Taiwan is a part of China. The disagreement seems to hinge on whether China is Nationalist or Communist. No matter which government is in charge, it seems obvious to me that Taiwan belongs to either the Republic of China or the People's Republic of China.
So yes, it is Chinese.
That being said, I don't think anyone can dispute how delicious it is, regardless of politics.
Yes, in the sense that both China and Mongolia is Taiwan. However, it is its own country with their own government and its own cultural identity. Saying it's all just the same as China is like saying WELL TECHNICALLY WORLD WAR II DIDN'T END UNTL THE 90s.
Taiwanese is its own specific cultural identity and government that is pretty different from the Mainland or Mongolia.
also the taiwanese have this street drink that's similar except it's whole milk with brown sugar and tapioca. it's pretty diggity dang good.

Well, the Nationalists still officially claim Mongolia and the Mainland, don't they?
Anyway, plenty of other regions in China have their own specific cultural identities. Guangzhou is different from Beijing, which is different from Xi'an, which is different from Lhasa, which is waaaay different from Taibei. China is a country of many different cultures.

The nationalists are a dying and older breed nowadays. Most people in Taiwan don't really give a rats ass and consider themselves to be just Taiwan. People in Taiwan don't refer to themselves as Chinese. They refer to themselves as Taiwanese.

That's unfortunate. I really don't see the Republic of China holding together very well without the Guomindang. Without the Guomindang's special relationship with the United States government, there really isn't much keeping the People's Republic out of Taiwan. As much as I'd love to see reunification, I'd hate to see it come of bloodshed. Perhaps it's because I'm not Taiwanese, but I really think their best option is to become a Special Administrative Region.
My wife and I are trying to buy a house. It's all very annoying, and it's making me mad.
The realtor doesn't show up when he says he will; and when I ask a question that's difficult for him to readily answer, he tells me it's not important. Then the loan officer I'm working with keeps jerking me around; taking forever to get things done; isn't available half the time I call; doesn't do things (like sending me a pre-approval letter) by the time he promised he would; and then when he does send me a pre-approval letter, it says it's for a 15-year term at a floating rate rather than a 30-year term at a fixed rate.
The dumb thing is that my Dad is co-signing the note, so credit shouldn't be an issue (especially since my Dad could just buy the house with cash)... and yet the bank is still jerking us around.
House hunting might be fun, but actually buying one is a real pain in the butt.

I think its pretty good.

...by your fiancée, I hope?!
You think D. Gray is bad with this? Try watching Ergo Proxy and get back to me.
Of course! Do I look like some sort of uncouth, debased trog to you?
Well, in any case, I don't do cheating.
As Fawflo said, this is indeed praiseworthy. Congrats!
You forgot the best part: I was there!
I pushed you up a hill! Well, a third of a hill.
*Imagines comrade being slowly pulled up a steep hill, then pushed back down again with a gentle poke*
Pfft... AHAHAHAHAAAA!!! X'D
Sorry, sorry I shouldn't be so mean. (Its my childish imagination acting up again!)
We do miss the restaurant photos though.
You were there! You were shorter than I expected.
Sorry. Trolling mood. Trying to stay out of the TWD forums as much as possible.
Well... I was in the next room.
And now this conversation has gotten extremely creepy and I sound like a some sort of stalking pervert stalker who stalks pervertedly. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just as I planned!
Yes... Sound like...
Psh. Amateur hour.
Shh! I need to fool people!
You'd fail anyway.
That's pretty accurate, actually.

Undoing damage, altering outcomes to minimise risk, aging your enemies, temporarily stopping them?
The strategic capabilites are almost endless.
What.
WHAAAAAA
How did I go from a miserable paranoid distrustful sexist miser to a loving happy paranoid engaged dude.
Beats me. Guess you just had to find the right person. Congratulations!
Now you get to figure out how a wedding works. Or just leave it to your fiance's mother (that's generally what happens anyways, regardless).
Eh. Good luck to yas anyway!

I ask myself the same question every single day. Confrabulations, Fawflu. You deserve it.

Still haven't had a chance to sit donw and play PAA 3. Might doo that tonight.
