Japan in general just seems to have such better respect for nature over Western society. Probably helps it's something Shinto pushes quite a bit.

While neat a wild animal being so willing to be around me would probably raise some rabies flags to me.

I know nothing about those first 2 games but ToR's models weren't that great unless you liked having the same model for every single race.

It's not the IP so much as it is code from other sources that the game company has no legal rights to that's in the games source.

Often times it's less since the game companies don't want to and more because they legally can't. A lot of the stuff in a game for a engine may not be owned by them and legally they cannot give out that code.

I'm pretty sure Shinto is Japans major religion.

I found the amount of heroes when first getting into kinda daunting as well. A lot heroes is neat but over 100 is yeaaaa...

Kinda ironic having any Gawker site talk about spelling and grammar. :p

Think my main issue is that I hear so many of the same voices for each anime when it comes to dubs. Sure a lot of VA's do work for multiple anime in Japan but it never seems as glaringly obvious as me hearing Ichigo in every single anime dub.

The media isn't known for their factual reporting. :p

Or when people talk about how 'pretty' a baby is. All babies look the same unless there's something wrong with them and in that case you probably are then lying through your teeth.

I like the music and art style.

Big thing with the 'holes' in the story is that its a story that isn't complete yet. You basically got a quarter of the story so far in that anime with an entire arc that has occurred since then in the manga and at least another year or 2 of the manga to go. It's always best to look st the source material and see if…

Not too surprising considering how much better Amazons customer service is.

Also a somewhat wrong comparison point as Log Horizon's novel came out before SAO's.

Log Horizon

Usually young woman don't have saggy boobs.

I think you'll enjoy the history aspects far more in games like CK2 and EU4. Civ 5 is great in a more actiony type way though while CK2 is more political intrigue and far more historical.

There's a few good map mods that fix the whole 'countries starting in silly areas' thing. If I recall with the one mod I had 26 countries all donig their own thing from their historic start points.
