Actually, Mermaid Forest is season two of Rumiko Takahashi Anthology. I assumed Bamboo meant that. EDIT: Either my spelling or my typing sucks today... |

In my experience, So Deep is hard if you're moving way too much. The few candlesteps the song has are nearly nullified by the fact that there's more than 1/16th of a beat separating them. Ideally you want to not be lifting your feet more than a 1/2 inch off the pad (this holds true for basically every song), and you should be able to glide in a very smooth and consistent rhythm. I guess it depends on whether you still play or not, or if you do to what extent you play. I'm nowhere near the highest eschelon of players of ITG or PIU (I hardly play DDR anymore) but I've still at least AA'd all but 3 songs on 8th Mix. Nowadays folks like BlueMystic and Dukamok are pushing the bounds of difficulty farther than most would've guessed even a year ago. |

True, but I'd like to see them do it without the bar. Everything's harder without the bar, because you don't have the balance, and the weight distribution is completely different. |

I didn't think the Tactics anime was *quite* RC Cola bad, although, as someone who has enjoyed the manga alot so far, I will admit it was something of a disappointment. In my opinion, it's the lack of humour in the anime that disappointed me, compared with the manga. On top of that, the pointlessness of the anime-only Suzu Edogawa annoys me to no end. Her existence alone was enough to make me want to hate the anime. |

I guess it's safe to assume you haven't played in an awfully long while then. All the best bar players are also the best no-bar players. The only thing folks care about is score and tournaments (especially for ITG), and this coming from a primarily no-bar player. If I no-bar a 99% on Hardcore of the North in a tournament (yeah right), no one's going to care about that if Damien or Mike show up and bar even a 99.03%. The best I could hope for is for someone to say "he's pretty good for a no-bar player," but most people would follow up with "but he still doesn't win tournaments." |

Having seen in whole both Speed Grapher and KonoMini, I have to agree with these ratings. The first couple episodes of KonoMini are spoiler[before dropped plot points cover the floor and before it falls apart - that ending made no sense whatsoever]
The sex and drugs early in Speed Grapher are there for shock value I think. They make it clear just how depraved the members of this secret club are. It turns them from The Elks into Thugee, or something analagous. It makes them bad, instead of simply misguided. It gives the series antagonists early on. |

Hmmm... the 2 I was looking at curiously was Speed Grapher and This Ugly Yet Beautiful World, but based on both the reviews, user opinions, and ratings on this site, both of these titles are going to get a Netflix rental or two before I decide whether or not I want to invest money in them. The concept of Speed Grapher sounds ridiculous to me (things blowing up by taking a picture of them, this power given to the guy by kissing some girl) and Ugly/Beautiful seems like a cross between FLCL and Elfen Lied based on the first episode (it's on Anime Network On Demand, that's where I saw it), but the vast mixed opinions of both these titles calls for a rental of the two. I've already mistakenly spent money on a very disappointing series (Avenger) so I am very careful with my anime purchases.

As some others said, I got a very negative feeling after watching the first episode of TUYBW.
There are some shows I like that I wouldn't want people to judge by the first episode, but I couldn't help but feel that this show is otaku fodder (not the American meaning of otaku, the creepy Japanese one...). |

Normally I would skip a series like this but since I am partly intrigue I will probably add it to netflix. BTW netflix is really cool, I have seen a lot of titles that normally I would never think about dropping a dime on. Best $15 dollars I spent every month. Till next time, Delta Kiral |

Geez, no love for TUYBW.
This is a title that you have to think about because Gainax didn't hit you over the head with the obvious stuff and get past the fanservice element. I thought that the ending made sense. It wasn't what I wanted though. People should probably netflix this one first if you're unsure about it since it's not your usual anime title. The first volume is a setup volume with little hints of things to come. The last cast member is introduced in the next volume. This is not a title for those who like simple discussions. |

I have a feeling that Bamboo will treat Kono Minikuku the same way she treated Yumeria - she'll most likely make the final volume a rental. I asked this on the TUYBW review thread a couple of weeks ago, but I didn't receive an answer so I'll post it here: If Foster directed the dub for Gantz and/or Elfen Lied, would he asked those actors to use pseudonyms as well, given the content of those two series? I don't believe anything contained in Kono Minikuku that Foster believes is "over-the-top" can compare to all of the graphic violence and nudity in Gantz and EL. So I would say that just like he did in Kono Minikuku, Foster probably would have asked the actors in those two series if they wanted to use pseudonyms had he been the ADR director to either or both series. Just a thought...
