Hello there! Welcome to DCW!

Could somebody post in the seasonal anime discussion thread by this Friday evening? I want to post my thoughts on the winter anime before I start watching spring shows.

Three introduction posts in one day!? Is this the real life?? I seriously don't think we've had activity like this in literally years. Today must be DCW's lucky day. And welcome to this site, BlackLabel! Post around and have fun! try not to do anything too illegal

Another new member, nice. Welcome to DCW! I hope you have fun here!

Hello there! Hope you enjoy your stay here at DCW! Post around and have fun!

(I'll be posting a full winter season recap on Friday evening, most likely, so you'll hear my final thoughts on ERASED, Dimension W, Ajin, Shouwa Genroku Rakugo Shinjuu, and the other shows I watched when that time comes. I've been pretty busy recently, but I didn't want to completely ignore your post so...) I'm only saying this because I'm biased and played all the games, but I'd recommend the games over the anime. Anime adaptations of video games are usually more miss than hit, and from the CMs I've seen so far it looks like it's only going to be mediocre. The notable lack of arrangements of the original video game soundtrack (which have helped make AA as famous as it is) as well as the serviceable but far from impressive animation have me on the doubtful side. Of course, if you have no intent on playing the games because you either can't afford to buy them and aren't comfortable playing them on an emulator, or because you aren't quite sold on the premise of the story to invest your time in an extensive series like AA, then obviously it doesn't hurt to watch either the beginning of the anime (or even the entirety of it) before playing the games. However, I do recommend you give the games a chance some time in the future, since the anime will most certainly skip some cases, leave out some jokes, and condense the characterization of some characters. If you know for a fact that you definitely will play the games in the future and don't need the anime to convince you of that fact, then my recommendation would be to not watch the anime until after playing the games. The anime is only confirmed to cover the events of the first two games but will most likely have a sequel that adapts at the very least the last installment of the original trilogy, so playing the first three games before watching the anime would be my suggestion. As I stated above, the anime doesn't look like it will be a terribly amazing adaption, so watching it will ultimately end up spoiling you the plot twists you would have enjoyed more playing the games. I heard about that, too. FLCL was pretty fun, but I don't know enough about this new series to really judge it just yet. I'll most likely watch it regardless of what it is, just for the heck of it.

Welcome to DCW! Hope to see you around the forums!

Uhhh, no...? What you had blatantly posted (in all caps nonetheless) was a plot twist. No one playing the game for the first time should have expected that to happen. No matter how early a plot twist occurs in a story, be it 10 minutes in or 10 hours in, it deserves to at least be spoiler tagged. And comparing it to Harry being a wizard is just a shoddy argument. That's common knowledge because it's blatantly advertised by the creators themselves in order to establish a premise, much like Phoenix Wright being a defense attorney.

... How is that not a spoiler?

DO NOT READ THE POST ABOVE MINE, MAJOR ACE ATTORNEY SPOILERS Please remove your spoiler. Edit: That's much better It hasn't been; some uninformed blogger just made up that news. There hasn't been any updates on when the second season will air. This promo trailer for the series, which was posted in January of this year, still has the anime listed for a 2016 release. My guess is, we're getting it this fall. -- OMM1: The first Zero Time Dillema trailer came out yesterday and ohhhhh myyyyy gahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhddddddd June 28th can't come early enough (though I need to finish Fates before then) OMM2: Speaking of Wit Studio, Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress is looking better and better with each passing trailer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NljBw9RtOx4

It's all cool man, I'm just glad I finally got the chance to donate to this site! Thanks for everything you do!

Looks like the forums and wiki are at the very least in good working order now. And by the way, Maurice-senpai, please notice me. I sent you a PM a while back stating my interest to donate to this site, but I'm beginning to think you don't want my money. EDIT: !!!!!!!!!!! MAURICE JUST LOGGED ON! THIS IS MY CHANCE! I'm sending a PM your way, boss! EDIT2: He logged back out.....................

Wow, checking DCW the past few days was like taking a trip to Glitch City...

As people on other sites have been saying, I think classifying ERASED as a mystery would be a bit misleading. It more closely resembles a "thriller" as opposed to a cut and dry mystery, which is why the reveal was still really well done despite the fact that the audience could see it coming.

Damn, I only just realized I never responded to your questions, oops. Let's see, some chapters are really easy and quick to beat, especially the ones with exploitable goals like "defeat the boss" while the "rout the enemy" maps usually take a little more time. On average though, as long as you don't accidentally get someone killed and reset, one chapter usually takes around half an hour. I believe each route probably has between 20-30 chapters, if the length is anything like Awakening's, with the addition of a little less than 20 paralogue chapters (technically optional, but most people complete them since they usually result in the recruitment of a character). And the third route, Revelations, was just released today if I'm not mistaken. You can download it digitally if you don't have the Special Edition, and if you have the Special Edition it's already part of your cartridge and just needs to be unlocked, I believe. It's the path that results from refusing to choose either Hoshido or Nohr, and is meant to be played after both Birthright and Conquest. -- OMM1: I got my first quadruple kill in Splatoon yesterday. Did I git gud yet? OMM2: Literally spent hours yesterday and today rerolling the three School Uniform pieces of gear in Splatoon so they'd have three matching sub abilities. Never again.

What a gorgeous train wreck. This is the first of three Project Itoh movies, all of which I've been anticipating for quite some time. Unfortunately, my hopes for these films have been all but dashed. Genocidal Organ has been on hold since Manglobe filed for bankruptcy, and The Empire of Corpses was a disappointment. If I keep my expectations low for Harmony, it may not be so bad. The Empire of Corpses is a film animated by Wit Studio and an adaptation of the late Project Itoh's (yes, he's a person) book of the same name. As I mentioned earlier, the movie is beautiful. It features amazingly detailed, dreamlike landscapes as well as crisply choreographed action scenes. The music is fantastic and the voice actors did a decent job with their roles as well. As much as I hate to say this though, that's where the merits of this movie stop. The plot started off fine enough, stumbled a bit, got better, and then completely crashed and burned by the grand finale. The fansubs I used weren't all that great, but even if I watched the movie with better subtitles I doubt it would make the story any less understandable or well-structured. The characters, intriguingly based off of literary and historical figures from the 19th century, ended up being rather generic and bland. This is something only worth watching for the animation and music, and even then I'm not sure it's worth the time investment. If anything, this movie has given me even more reassurance that Wit Studio will make the second season of Attack on Titian look even better than the first.

Dimension W is getting kinda ehhh as you say, just because the pacing is a mess and the animation quality took a nosedive. Definitely check out Ajin though; I'm loving it and feel it's the dark horse of this season because so many people were initially turned off by the CGI. Things really start picking up at around episode 5, and since then it's been one heck of a show. Phantom World is that boob limbo anime, right? It looks like really pretty fanservice since it's done by KyoAni but not much else apart from that. And I'm not sure if you started with the first season of Gate or accidentally jumped into the second season, but either way you're not missing much by dropping it since it kinda sucks a lot.

tfw you really want to look up Fates's OST to identify an amazing song by name but you haven't finished the game yet

Can confirm; seems like Chrome-senpai has a beef with DCW again.

The country is still too young to appreciate the appeal of an albino loli. This is what my e-mail said: So I guess keyword was "some." I didn't have time to watch the streams, which really sucked because I didn't realize they had chat enabled! Twitch chats give me life, to be honest. -- OMM: Swiggity swooty~~

Here, you dropped this: /s

OMM1: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZHxo5EAMn3c I'd seriously watch hundreds of episodes of Twitch Watches Pokemon and not get bored. OMM2: It's Super Tuesday, and do you know what that means? ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ ILLYA TAKE MY ENERGY ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Are you going to get Red, Blue, or Yellow for your 3DS? All the glitches, from Missingno to Mew to moves not calculating the way they're listed on official guides, were ported right along with the game. Given that you'll even be able to transfer Pokemon from those games to Sun and Moon, it seems pretty interesting. I don't have the time or money to spend on them, but I know a lot of people who grew up with those games are having a lot of fun experiencing Kanto again.
