"I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings." - The Fox, from Antoine de Saint-Exupery's The Little Prince

I don't know how I missed this thread. My votes are on Gin, Akai, and Bourbon. Oh heck, a young Korn would be awesome too.

Um, you seem new here. The watch section has been down for a while. I think you might be misinterpreting the news (how'd you dig this up anyway?) as it only means the watch section on this site is dysfunctional and will not return, as it has been for over 4 and a half years. The rest of the Internet is not affected. (... well, there was that anti-piracy campaign by the Japanese government that spawned a website riddled with Engrish and an ad consisting 95% of "arigatou"s...)

Unfortunately, I usually struggle with ongoing anime (sounds hypocritical because I like DC, but I just haven't had the time recently because of school unlike when I had originally gotten into DC years ago). I watch a bunch of new anime each season, and it definitely gets tough when I try to balance more anime per week than there are days in one. I'm watching 8 right now, but only because it's summer break for me. As for the end date, unfortunately it's been confirmed to end then. It was planned to end this fall (in a couple of weeks), but was extended by 26 episodes. If I'm not mistaken the total episode count will be up to 75 when it ends in March.

Locke That was one helluva underappreciated movie.

Well, if you want to be technical here, the 5 basic tastes are sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and umami. Spicy is under the pungency category, which is a sensation (key word) the tongue feels but is not considered a taste. At least, that's what Wikipedia says... Looks like Junichi Masuda didn't do his research when he made Ruby and Sapphire, haha. As for my favorite taste, I guess I don't really have one. Sweet and salty are high on my list though.

Winter all the way. No, not really... Fall can get pretty nice, and spring has its charms. Summer's at the bottom of my list and though I've had quite a few awesome summer memories, none of them directly relate to the season being summer. As for why winter is my favorite, I guess I just love the snow and stargazing at night after snowfall is my all time favorite hobby.

You're going to have to watch fansubs if you want to catch yourself up on the anime, or read the manga if you want to save yourself some time. As much as I like to support my interests legally, it's rather difficult with a series like Detective Conan. I have a few Conan figurines that I got for dirt cheap in China, but that probably translates to something like $0.009 in Gosho Aoyama's pocket.

Ah, I was wondering what your name meant. I was thinking something like "kangaroos need purple colored eggs"? Naw, that can't be right. I'm glad I wasn't.

Oh, good luck with that one. It won't be ending until March of next year. I still remember when it started airing nearly a year ago and thought I'd give it shot if it ended up being one-cour. Haha, how wrong I was. Thank God I stopped watching after after episode one b/c GPA.

Unless Gosho takes some APTX to give himself a few more years.

Re-watched 12 Angry Men for old time's sake (hang on, how old am I again?) last week and finally got around to watching Pacific Rim yesterday.

I'm 17 and started watching... .... I can't remember, but it was quite a while ago. I've been one this site for nearly 4 years, if that means anything, so I'd venture a guess and say I've been watching for about 5 years.

Not to mention, OVAs aren't canon, so anything that happens in them don't really have much bearing on the plot. Left-handed people don't always do everything with their dominant hands. I myself was born a southpaw but grew up right-handed, hence why I grip my pencil weird when I write and I can beat any true righty at arm wrestling with my left hand. Handedness is kind of an anomalous thing, even of there are generalizations. Everyone has their tendencies.

Pft, completely lost track of the date and didn't realize the ending has already aired. Well, not really, because it was a remastered episode and the ending just used scenes from the old case (a case I only remembered because of Conan's bathing scene with Ran). Anyhow, it looks like the theme song veteran Mai Kuraki still has some spunk left in her. The song is decent, but definitely not her best. I swear though, her and B'z are going so strong it's almost not even human. Hope they stick it out until the anime finishes! Here it is (the actual ending will be linked eventually): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVRhoksE3BM

Ah, the main character sounds like my type of girl. *ahem* Realistically, it's pretty darn hard to get published. It'll probably be better if you just post your stories on a blog or something, to attract attention and get feedback. Getting your story paper-bound is something that takes a lot of work and talent, as almost every genre ever conceived as been done to death. Of course, if you're doing this for fun and getting published is an afterthought, that's a different story (woah, unintended pun). I'm terrible at titles, and they usually come to me after I've finished writing whatever I'm working on. Therefore, I can't really help you out on this one. Make sure it's nothing too long-winded or it will sound corny and forced. One word to three word titles general roll off the tongue better, so try to keep it as short as you can. If I knew the entire plot of your story I might be able to think of one, but I can imagine you'd want to avoid spoiling. Anyhow, good luck with your endeavor!

Huh, let's see, I'm reading a bunch of "How-to" books on college essays and apps. Some of them are solid pieces of writing, and I'm actually not being sarcastic. Ah, looks like I broke in during a Hunger Games convo...

All the canon ships in Detective Conan are pretty solid, so it's hard to pick a favorite non-couple pair. Voted for ConAi and GiVod(?), mostly for lolz for the latter.

Oh my gosh, I can't even--

It's terrible what happened. I've always had a place in my heart for Robin William movies, and he seemed like such a fun guy to hang around with. I hope his family is coping and my thoughts and prayers are with them. Rest well Robin; I hope you're in a better place now.

Don't feel so bad! I'm a sucker for shinies, so I spend way too much time soft-resetting/chaining/breeding for them. The best ones are the random ones though. Speaking of which, I unluckily ran into a shiny Skorupi while Bianca was tagging along with me in White 2, and she OHKO'd it with a Psychic. I died a little lot when that happened. Shinies aren't all fun and games I guess. I would have offered to give you a shiny, but they're all on my Pearl version and I think WiFi support for that game was shut down a while ago unfortunately. I haven't had the chance to transfer them to my Y version or anything.
