The Anime Society Thread 6

Yeah, time certainly flies, especially when you're working full time. I can't believe it's been nearly a decade since I signed up to TSR and started posting...

I'm thinking of trying Overwatch, likely next weekend once I get a hold of a laptop that can actually run it.

Admittedly, I haven't even played a MOBA game, so I'm not really qualified to say whether I like or dislike them. What I can say is that one of the main reasons I like Quake 3/Live is that every player has the same thing. The only thing that distinguishes a player from another is their aim, movement and decision making. This simplicity is what makes sport so popular. The moment you start adding special abilities and classes, the game starts to dictate what you can and cannot do. But hey, this is just coming from someone who has never played LOL or Dota 2, so maybe I'm completely wrong, and these features actually enhance the game play. I guess I'll find out with Overwatch.

I remember you mentioning Awesomenauts in the past. The name is hilarious.

Haha, I have no doubt.

Well, the last two companies I've been at have been much larger, which made it a lot harder to post on here.



Tim Willits, the creative director and co-founder of iD, stresses that they want to make sure it's still a Quake game, first and foremost, and that fans of the franchise should not fret, despite the introduction of classes. He's even made a point of saying that it's not a MOBA game.



Yeah, Rapha also has a team, I believe. In Europe, I know Stermy is playing, but I don't think he's doing it professionally. I think Cypher is playing it too. However, from what I understand, pro players from TF2 are transitioning better than those from CS GO and Quake, but I might be wrong about that.



Yeah, Quake duel is something else when it comes to intensity. I still have the YouTube videos of you dueling

Overwatch seems pretty quick. As I said to James, I might try it next weekend.

The only map I know from Overwatch from watching streams is that Japanese one with the cherry blossom trees. It looks pretty nice.

I also finished Danganronpa (the game) and damn was it amazing. So now I need to watch the anime . Out of interest does anyone know if there are many differences between the two? Mainly out of interest as I have found anime adaptions of games always have some differences from the game. Which is fair as some game elements/ aspects don't translate to well to a show format.

Did someone inject a strong concentration of caffeine in this thread recently?

Lol this thread been dead for months now. So it's good to see the thread lively again

I suspect as we get closer to school term, we should start getting new posters

That would be an irony, because wouldn't they be busy with homework and studying?

Can anyone think of an anime(or manga) that focuses on compensation dating? I'm doing an essay about how pop culture has influenced japan and wanted to write a paragraph or so about enjo kosai/ how entertainment encourages this. I remember reading things that contained a lot of it but can't think of what the mangas were called.

Some students may be on holiday over the summer, hence the lack of posting here.

Once school term starts they should start watching anime again. Some will join the anime society at uni, and may start looking for recommendations and stuff

We'll just wait and see what happens

Are there really anime societies. Ill join that

Did something ive been meaning to do for a hell of a long time. I started watching Outlaw star. Seems cool, so deliciously 90s with the hair and futuristic setting. Been hearing that OP at anime events for a long time.

Can I say I'm incredibly happy for you! It was the first anime I saw as a kid all those years ago! Still not sure it was appropriate for a kid my age, despite all the censorship on toonami! That said the other main animes on at the time was tenchi, tenchi universe and Gundam Wing.... so yeah, pretty adult for a 10 year old

Anyway Outlaw star is great! But like cowboy bebop I hate how it only lasted a single series, there were rumours of a second series for roughly 10 years after the original aired but I think we can all give up now.... it was almost like a browncoat community for a while, refusing to admit it was over

OMG I've been trying to remember the name of this anime for a while! Also the first anime I watched on toonami, also not appropriate for my age at the time . Btw the opening on Outlaw Star is still the best theme song of any anime imo.

On another note, just finished Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso and the feels are definitely real.
