If I were to start it and it sucks I would be disappoint.

Being 100 episodes behind on stuff you watch just because you have to complete it is stupid. I'd rather watch Dexter, Breaking Bad, Doctor Who, The Walking Dead, and Game of Thrones if I were that behind.

Or rather, not have a schedule and watch when you can.

I should see if I can get my new laptop to stream. I'll play the kind of shows that Hei would like but doesn't watch. :lol:

The shows I'm behind on I do like, the vast majority of them, so it's not just completionism there.

I have a schedule system as it allows me to go at a better pace as I suck at marathoning. Failed attempts at marathoning is one of the reasons why my on-hold list is as large as it is.

FUNimation didn't really license rescue it. When Geneon went under, FUNimation merely distributed some stuff on behalf of Geneon while not having the actual license.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2008-07-03/funimation-agrees-to-distribute-select-geneon-titles

To name a few, The Familiar of Zero, Black Lagoon, Ergo Proxy, Shakugan no Shana, When They Cry, The Law of Ueki. The only ones out of those they ended up holding the license to themselves after the Geneon license expired were Black Lagoon, Shakugan no Shana, and Ergo Proxy.

Took a while for them to get those out because of the Geneon Universal merger in 2010 that screwed everything over for them.

Fate/Stay Night is another big one of these too. My boxset is all Geneon but game with Funimation stuff in the box as well. There aren't any on eBay right now but last time I looked the set was selling for about $350.
 
It was, and it recently got rescued by Sentai. The BD is coming out next month IIRC.

I was always under the impression the guitar bit was made to stutter by digital editing... guess I was wrong.

Watch Oreimo, DK. It's awesome. You should know who that character is.

There's something wrong with you. You're not even watching Bakuman at least?

No, but I should be. I'll catch up soon. I'll download all the new episodes at my dad's place.

That's the one show that you are watching that you should keep up with.

I'm aware. I'm ashamed. The episodes keep piling up and I don't feel compelled to watch them.

You see Seph? Unknown show, not a single Magic Knight in sight, and they were a big deal back in the day. Hell, Saint Tail, but no Rayearth. That should tell all.

I still can't freaking believe you guys got me to watch Oreimo. I can't freaking believe I liked it so much, which is worse. Watch it DK, specially if you have brothers/sisters.
 
Just Watched -> (rewatched?) Rayearth ep.2, Oreimo ep.6, Nichijou ep.11, Nyarako-san ep.1, Bakemono ep.2, Moyashimon 2 ep.2.

Currently Watching -> Squid Girl ep.5.

^ I would think the reason is that Rayearth like PPG (original & Z), Pretty Cure series, Wish Upon the Pleiades, & My-Hime/Otome series are more on a Team-Based Mahou-Shoujo from the start. (I don't know much about A-Ko, Cutie-Honey, and others.)

-> Usagi from Sailor Moon started her quests alone at first, same goes with Saint Tail, and latetly Madoka wasn't even 'part' of the team; she basically fought solo in the real time/world/dimention/etc. I even wonder why Chacha (of Akazukin Chacha) wasn't included... :confused:

^ I have a younger sibling which who is my sister. She isn't as subliminal as Kirino, but she was a cosplayer and an anime fan of a different genre compared to mine. So I can really relate to Oreimo so well, in fact sometimes its creepy... :indiff:

BT -> I usually don't watch Naruto, but I can relate the reason for this image:

Ah, very good point there, had not considered it.

Also, stop staring at your sister like that, wtf.
 
^ Nah, it doesn't affect me now... ;)
