Yessssssss.....

Awesome. Glad I could pass that along, then.

True enough. It's more...nihilistic, in a sense. The threat is on a society-level scale in addition to the personal losses suffered by the characters. I guess I can see that.

I agree. I actually haven't gotten around to reading the manga, having been introduced to the series through the TV show.

I kind of feel the same way about Berserk. I know the manga is there, and I don't have anything -against- reading it, but...I'd really rather see it animated.

(Part of that may be that I'm an…

I guess. The whole thing is basically one tragedy after another. That said, the despair is often overshadowed by the violence, and the anime series ends on a...well, not an upbeat note, exactly, but at least a less depressing one?

But yeah, it's still got nothing on, say, Bokurano, which is so bleak and depressing that…

Probably not in the near future, but I'd be pretty surprised if we don't see a second season at some point. The series is simply too popular, and the anime series has actually coincided with a spike in the manga's sales.

Right now, they're probably waiting for the manga to get a little bit further so they have enough…

Heh. Or anything by Mohiro Kitoh (Bokurano, Narutaru, etc.), or Elfen Lied, or Now and Then, Here and There...

...yeah, I kind of have a thing for really depressing stuff.

As others have said, Cowboy Bebop is just about perfect.

"Perfect" is a tricky term, though. I prefer to think of "perfect in terms of what it's trying to do" instead of trying to hold it up to some objective ideal of perfection.

By those criteria, Steins;Gate is pretty close to perfect. Now and Then, Here and There…

Given how well the series has been doing, I'd be shocked if they're not at least considering a second season.

I tend to prefer the PC version to console versions too, but...

I dunno, man. I despise Uplay. It's not just that it's an extra, unnecessary layer on top of things. And, look, I don't even care that much about achievements. But...if you're going to offer a game through Steam, having the achievements limited to your own…

I don't consider "So and so is going to talk to the police" to be a moral justification for murder.

Supposedly, the differences are mostly cosmetic: better water, smoke, foliage, lighting, etc. I wouldn't expect significant gameplay differences between the different versions.

It's always nice when art directors draw on inspirations other than the standard ones (realism, Blade Runner, Alien, etc.) In this case, the use of the impressionistic color palette and almost...hazy, gauze-filter look really sells it as being a different time and place.

Knowing what you're talking about before dismissing an entire group of people as delusional freaks?

That's just -crazy talk-.

Hm. Like what?

You...know there have been several instances where trans kids have attended school, right?
