I see precious few arguments in favor of the existence of dorms and roommates that don't involve mindless blather, and oodles of counter-examples like yours just on Kotaku itself.

Ooh, they included this little guy.

Skimmed the list, did not find a mention of the animated feature that can be summed up as "Dracula mugs a guy and eats a hamburger." Wow, the ones on this list must be truly terrible.

Duluth? That's way too close for comfort.

More people need to witness the glory that is Mighty Orbots. Even now, I can hear the epic opening theme ringing in my ears.

Our local networks tormented me long after the show was canceled by airing ads for it. I'd tune in at the appropriate time only to see... professional bowling.

I need to catch up on my own playthrough, so I guess I won't be joining. :/

So which yokai is the one nobody wants to get stuck with?

It's... on a Tumblr, of all things. This one's not finished, either.

God, if I never hear "Go-Bots" again, it will be too soon. That goddamn Hasbro/Go-Bots lawsuit killed one of my favorite childhood cartoons, Mighty Orbots. Despite its flaws, Mighty Orbots is a far, far better show than Go-Bots could ever aspire to be.

Ciel noSurge came before, but it consisted of mostly episodic content, I believe. I don't remember if they were planning to package everything up and release a complete version in Japan, but in any case, we haven't gotten Ciel no Surge.

My excitement is slightly tempered by the fact that my copy of Ar noSurge hasn't shipped yet.

After rechecking the articles, there doesn't appear to be any confirmation that the other two are playable, let alone for the long term- my apologies for implying otherwise. I'm a bit concerned by the designs though - the other youngster could easily be slotted into the "defiant rival who strikes out on his own"…

This is what I'm referring to: http://www.siliconera.com/2014/09/15/bra…

It's not exactly what I want it to be unless it's crammed full of Magnolia, and the way these other characters were introduced seems to be moving away from that direction.

+1 for dropping a Parker Lewis reference.

Sandy Springs!! Now I'm kind of not so enthusiastic about maybe moving there.

I started skimming a fan translation of Danganronpa Zero, and I had to stop. It was totally insane. And the more I learn about Junko, the more I despise her. I'm going to need a long break before I go back.

I am now picturing two people (perhaps Iwata and Miyamoto) fighting over the controls of a giant computer that controls Nintendo's release strategy.
