What anime is this from?

I'm pretty sure there was an anime where the MC falls in love with a girl and it turns out it's really another guy, but i cant remember the name so hoping this is the one.

Love Stage!!, and that's a fairly accurate description of the plot. :yes:

On another note, I'm saddened that I've missed one of your 'identify the anime' threads. Although, it's tempting me to make one myself. Perhaps another video one...

Please do, if you get the chance. It's no fun always having to be quiz master, and never getting to take part myself. :no:

Is it a bit nerdy that I want to work out the numbers by using physics to determine how strong a character really is? Like their speed, acceleration, energy and such.

Nerdy, undoubtedly, but that's the type of thing we like to encourage around here. :giggle:

Do share those stats if you get around to doing so. :p:

can someone explain why people like jojos bizarre adventure diamonds are unbreakable (or most jojos for that matter)? the fights seem good but its story is lame

I'm finding Diamond is Unbreakable lacking in any real story or direction, probably because there's been no 'main villain' for this part; I personally loved the first three parts though. The plots are always simple, but the crazy characters that the JoJos meet and beat along the way to the Big Bad ensured it was never boring. But yeah, not the best franchise if you're looking for depth or complexity. :p:

Define weird. :dontknow:

It's set in the real world at least, and nothing physically impossible happens, so quite normal by anime standards (and even BL standards).

Well, it's produced by David Production. They're not the biggest budget anime studio out there. :dontknow:

The JoJo franchise has to be their biggest hit, and I'd say the quality is improving. :yes:

Part 3 (Stardust Crusaders + Battle in Egypt) would be my favourite by a long shot. Best main characters, some of the best villains, and a clear end-goal unlike in Part 4. The first two parts were very good, but quite rushed and fast-paced due to the lower episode count.

Just found out one of the character's wakizashi can expand up to 13 km at the speed of 171,600 metres per second. It can retract at that speed too. It was just a simple multiplication to find it out. But 171,600 metres per second is scary...

So now that (I think) I've caught up with all the posts, an update on how my weekend went:

...my tablet died on Day 1. I managed to watch 16 episodes out of a target of 70 - 80 over the long weekend.

:moon:

The one series I was able to watch in its entirety was the 3 episode .hack//Quantum. Pretty much exactly the same storyline as .hack//SIGN, but with less standing around and talking. :giggle:

The one thing that did stand out was the animation, considering it's far more recent than the other shows I've watched from the same franchise. Great action, but forgettable, under-developed characters.

Aside from that, I watched six episodes of You're Under Arrest! S2 (better when it's focusing on comedy, not drama/romance as most of these episodes did), three of After War Gundam X (my third attempt at watching this series - bet that's why my tablet decided to give up on life), two episodes of Those Who Hunt Elves II (this was quite bad), one of Jubei-chan 2 (great fun, considering I'd forgotten everything about the first series) and one of Ginga Densetsu Weed (good start).

Fortunately, I had my Kindle to fall back on; though I'm a slow reader so only managed 11 volumes: Aoharu x Kikanjuu v.4, Yu Yu Hakusho v.9-11, Welcome to the NHK v.1-3, Mei no Naisho v.3-4 (end), Otomen v.15 and IS v.11.

Picked up Maiden Rose to replace Mei no Naisho... but as happens every now and then with purchases from emanga, the file for the second volume is corrupt. :grumble:

They've always sorted out any problems I've had in the past after a quick email though, so hopefully I'll have a working copy soon.

Also bought the first volumes of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso and Noragami in paperback at a car boot sale for £1 each - I don't have any real plans to continue with them, as I don't have the shelf space, but I needed a 'Plan C' in case my Kindle also packed up. :p:

Hanamura.. was featued in the Dragons short. Not a map Im fond of, find it narrow with that first choke point, but its pretty. :giggle:

The character I player the most is Mei so I love Hanamura :laugh:

. Those small doors means she kind of dominates/infuriates the other team.

The anime is supposed to follow the game quite faithfully. Watched the series which I did like but hadnt played the game. I guess its kind of spoiled for me now? :tongue:

Possibly and the anime for me :laugh:

. But Danganronpa 2 is on Steam at least which has some good reviews. I think I may buckle and get it this week.

Yeah the anime fellows it pretty closely :yes:

it even has pink blood. Which is quite annoying when watching it makes it less dramatic imo.

That is bizarre with the blood but it does keep in with the styling at least. But if it is very faithful I may hold off for a bit then. As I might lose attention with the story being fresh in my head.

I was a member of committee for Aberanime for two years (translator & secretary), and a regular member for two more. :yes:

And unless they've written me out of their constitution (which wouldn't surprise me, as I don't know any of the current members), I may still hold the rank of 'Eternal President'. :mmm:
