It was more a returning character that warmed me up to the game. I was also pretty disappointed just how little the 400 days episode had on the story. As a whole, I still loved season 2, especially with the ending I got. It was beautiful.

Today's OP/ED is Mayo Chiki! I know I watched this in its entirety with the missus and I know she liked it but I CANNOT FOR THE LIFE OF ME REMEMBER A SINGLE DAMN THING ABOUT IT. Even the OP isn't ringing any bells! Anybody else have an anime they know they watched but can't remember anything about?

AKA “Your Name.” This is an amazing film. I highly recommend it. If you haven’t seen “Summer Wars” yet pastanick I highly recommend you give it a shot since you liked this one.

I had a lot of trouble getting into this one because I hated the group Clem ends up with after what happened in the first episode. It got better as it went along though.

I LOVED Black and White. Everything after that just hasn’t hit quite right for me. I completed X/Y but didn’t get into them as much. I started Sun/Moon but didn’t get very far.

Day 2: Least Favourite Pokémon. Motherfucking Delibird. This is mostly thanks to Pokémon Channel on the GameCube. The wife was playing it to get us Jirachi and we didn’t realise you could go to the back door to get items from him. Every few moments: *Glass tapping* “Deli?” Wife: “WTF IS THAT NOISE?”

Today's OP/ED is Jujutsu Kaisen ED2! Currently re watching JJK for the first time since watching the Shibuya Incident Arc and noticed that the ED song is named "Give it Back" and it had some very longing tones so looked up the lyrics. Oh. This doesn't feel as happy as it did last time.

Today's OP/ED is Shangri-la Frontier OP1! I'm starting to think I've become too picky because this is yet ANOTHER popular anime that I just cannot get into. I think it's because I've played a lot of MMO's and anything that's not Log Horizon doesn't seem to know a thing about them! OP is fire though!

Today's OP/ED is Ranking of Kings OP 2! I have only gotten about 5 episodes into this but it is certainly not what expected! It's definitely an anime that likes to remind you to not judge others just on what you see. The animation and music is just amazing too! youtu.be/bQyo7RwJCzU?...

Today's OP/ED is Jobless Reincarnation! There's not really a set opening to season 1 but that same phenomenal music plays each time. As for the anime, I found it just interesting enough for a while but I HATED the MC. Eventually I just dropped this mainly because of him.

I always loved this one. His initial reaction to seeing the female bot being one of interest going so quickly to annoyance and pure unbridled hatred is such good commentary of judging by looks and also makes me laugh every damn time!

Had a rough day so doing something a bit different today. Instead of a OP/ED I'm posting an anime music video! Almost 5 years old, Pokemon Gotcha is an AMAZING love letter to what came before as well as showcasing the upcoming Sword/Shield generation. A beautiful song to a beautiful animation.

Xenogears. It’s second disk is mostly the characters narrating what happened as you are whisked from one fight to the next. The story is brilliant and deserves to be fleshed out properly. This is a perfect example of a remake being able to improve the original and it would SELL if done right.

Research has shown that most gamers AREN’T playing new games but instead playing older ones. Micro transactions, Bloat, lack of creativity/focus are some of the sited reasons. Check out www.stopkillinggames.com for more information.

Companies have realized their OWN games are preventing people from buying their new ones because their new ones aren't very good. Their solution isn't to make better games but to destroy accessibility to the older ones so they can sell you their new slop or remade versions of the old games forever.

Honestly, having the means to help somebody and doing it feels good. We are social creatures wired to help each other. Ironically this is what has allowed us to be the dominant species on this planet. Our inbuilt desire to help each other is our “survival of the fittest” trait.
