    Yeah i got issues with that. :bang:

    I had like 3-4 expensive rigs within 2 years, few notebooks, it got way out of hand...

    The moment my salary arrives it's always gone within minutes.

    I never pay my bills i spend on electronics etc.

    But i'm seeing someone for help so, and i'll never be able to buy stuff ever again though without paying first.

    Ouch, thats bad. As for the 580's, well in my opinion they still do pretty well but don't expect to stick bucket loads of AA on in games. For what i play (Heroes of the Storm, Diablo 3, FFXIV, SC2, XCOM, CS:GO, Borderlands and an assortment of stuff on Steam) it's fine at 1080p with very few issues putting setting to veryhigh/ultra. They're only problem with today's world is that they have but only 1.5gb of VRAM which can be eaten through in some games.

    One of the reasons i never upgraded these is because I've not really been playing any taxing games recently. Only FFXIV I could say is the most strenuous game going on my PC, and these 580's run it very well considering they were released in Nov 2010.

    So I've been watching Cross Ange lately on Viewster (just waiting for the last couple of episodes to be released) and it's been quite interesting. It has the obligatory fan service which you can get past as lets face it, it's common place but it's essentially Mech's Vs Dragons with some magic thrown in. Worth checking out if that sort of thing floats your boat. I certainly won't say it's on the intellectual side of Anime, more the action orientated flavour with a dash of story :D.

    So far i've watched: Gurren Lagann (EPIC!!), Puella Magi Madoka (some mindf*ck anime) and currently watching Kirino Mosaic.

    I really don't like English dubs, but what I hate more are Japanese trying to speak English. Because a small part of Kirino is taking place in the UK, they are certainly trying. Making my ears bleed every time. :)

    Waiting on the english dub of that to come out before watching.

    Interesting premise, but the ridiculous harem of women that started happening midway through sao1 was grating.

    Code Geass was excellent and I only watched on the rep around the net. Heard a lot of Steins Gate being good but honestly know nothing about it.

    The movie was done before this series but it is based on the ULBW arc.

    I read an article about that a couple of months ago if i recall (although i can't remember where, perhaps Kotaku UK) and the guy wasn't impressed with the film after having read the manga and seen the Anime for it. Not that one guy's opinion really matters too much :p.

    Oh and speaking of Live action film, the trailer for Attack on Titan is out and I have to say it doesn't look bad at all. Might have to check it out :nerd:

    Okay, completely uninformed in anime person here. So what's the appeal for you guys in anime? I mean I've seen like some anime a bit and I have utter respect for the artists who do the backgrounds because in some animes they are utterly fantastic, same goes for things(cars etc.), but the faces always bug me. I don't get the appeal of the big eyes, to me it's just weird and imo, the artists are really talented but I don't understand why they chose that path for characters. I guess it's just my weird little bug or whatchu-wanna-call-it. How about you guys, is it the same for you? Do you watch anime for the story, or boobs? Also what anime would you recommend, kinda looking for something new to watch, so fire away!

    Watched it till end in hope that main character dies... what a disappointment.

    If you want some fighting/carnage then there is:
    Fate Zero -> Quite good background story which drives escalating clash for power.
    Wolf's Rain -> No comments needed after EP1.
    Samurai Deeper Kyo -> OK, Hard to not spoil story by hints...
    Darker Than Black -> While most of people there knows nothing about their consequences (Like Doom 1 ~ 3 experiments), they do them. And then there are few with destiny.
    Zetsuen no Tempest -> Magic, Fate of the world. Very good story, but not many will like it.
    Texhnolize -> future, robotics, ... If you live through 2nd episode which is weakest, then you can watch it till end. But it keeps steady quality from episode 7 till end.
    Berserk / Claymore -> Medieval, not deep story.
    Ninja Scroll/Basilisk -> Clan Extermination, no story, just character interaction.

    Then there is Manga, while I think mostly manga is better than anime adaptation of same story, many may get bored from details.
    Abara -> Mutation, Carnage par excellance, End of everything...
    The Breaker / The Breaker: New waves -> While main character is quite boring, he evolves and is acceptable later. Good Back Story too. (still ongoing, but a lot of episodes)
    Psyren -> Not much story, good enough plot. OK characters, a lot of death.
    Junk Record -> Sci-Fi armors
    Gantz -> Scf-Fi, Re-dead. I would not write it to anime, since manga is much better in this case.

    And don't expect any of them end up well.

    I like their pick of characters, they are very similar to manga. But those blades... Well, nothing is perfect.

    So I had to share this because it's true, awesome, and funny! Was reading around about Dragon Ball Super, and saw some comments about Gohan and what he's become.
