Temple of Kraden News: Welcome to the Temple of Kraden! ------ All worshipers may enter the Most Holy Place in single file, reflecting on the bountiful blessing Kraden hath provided unto him or herself since their last visit. Head coverings are not necessary, as true penitence and humility are found within. The Priests and Priestesses of Kraden endeavor to remind all that fresh orange juice is heavily preferred; only whores use frozen.
Greetings, heathen. Perhaps some fortuitous blessing of Kraden's grace hath led you to our humble Temple, or perhaps you are simply curious about this strange and wonderful cult. Should you be willing - and dare to hope - to achieve enlightenment, the door opens before you. Lo! Leave your old life behind! For once you step through, you become something more than just yourself.

You become a Kradenette.

Are you willing to make the rapturous plunge? Do you have what it takes?



One of us! One of us! One of us!

Speaking of things I haven't seen, I've heard Eva described as 2deep4u with unnecessary symbolism and a bunch of Christianity motifs just because they look cool, so that sounds disgustingly Saturos/10. Enjoy being a mainstream fuzzy little man-peachgot.
If you -only- take the opinions of people in a skype chat who hate the show, then yes this is an accurate description of Evangelion.

Well I also go on /a/, where (like most other places it seems) there's more blind praise than blind hate.

I can spin all of that to sound positive if you want but it doesn't change the message.

If I do like it, I'm tempted to use Shinji in Rumble.

Also, I think Peo likes Your Lie in April, so it can't be thaat bad. At least, he's using a couple of their characters in Rumble.
Peo's free to offer his opinion, but so far it is that bad. I'm only halfway, and Simple said in his post that it does get better after the half so we'll see but just a few things that I don't like so far:

-Manufactured drama that I can't find realistic at all and often doesn't even make sense to me.
-Some of the twists I believe are happening later are painfully obvious. (This may be down to knowing what emotion people generally associate with the show going in)
YLIA spoilers

-Flashbacks that amount to the same thing just over and over and over again. (Like 3 or 4 times an episode)

don't forget the 14 year old anime girl boobies and glorious Freudian psychology(which often go hand in hand).

Yeah, I'm not sure if YLIA will be my thing even though it's about music, but I suppose the only way to find out is to watch more.

I like how it sounds like you've studied at the International University of Anime. Because we all know /a/ is the pinnacle of anime and manga discussion. :eyebrow:

YLIA update; feels like I'm watching Kids on the Slope with the drama dial turned way up, which is impressive because Kids on the Slope already turned the drama up to 11.

Second half's plot feels somewhat more natural and better paced, but I still find most of the characters and conflicts relatively unnatural.

No, that was exactly my point

I'm saying that I've seen every biased opinion on both sides.

Finished YLIA, as far as romantic dramas with a music focus go I'd pick Kids on the Slope over this. The last episode did a lot to undo what the second half worked to build in regards to my opinion of the show.

I'm actually pretty hype for Fall season, there's a lot of shows I'm interested in.

Here's the list so far, went over things with Silvy and picked out some stuff to try

Comet Lucifer - TV -/-
Da Yu Hai Tang - Movie -/1
Digimon Adventure tri. 1: Saikai - Movie -/1
One Punch Man
Owarimonogatari - TV -/-
Shisha no Teikoku- Movie -/1

I have varying expectations, but yeah.
Concrete Revolutio: Choujin Gensou also looks pretty hilarious, and it has Bones's wonderfully colourful/80s style.

YONA! I can't wait! Doesn't look like it'll be my favorite part of the series getting animated but oh well. More Yona is good. (One of my favorite arcs is right after the anime ends pretty much)

Also more Sound Euphonium, yay! ^_^

Pedo.

I'll be watching One-Punch Man, Gundam, and Garo. Not sure what else; probably nothing considering how I've been about anime lately.
