Absolute garbage. It is just religious posturing using a modern reprint.

Maybe because it's just a Japanese thing to eat the skin? I've seen plenty of instances where people do peel the skin, so it's probably just personal preference I assume. And there's nothing wrong with eating the skin, it won't kill ya. It'll probably add to your overall fat consumption (which doesn't matter in the long run because it IS a potato, not something slimming like a carrot

), but that's about it.

And yum yum, Japanese sweet potatoes are so good. <3 The really nummy ones are sweet enough on their own to eat as is. :3 I love it when my mom buys them. I've made daigaku imo with several different kinds of sweet potatoes, and none of them were quite as tasty as the times I used actual Japanese sweet potatoes!

Short and quick:
Should I first watch Chaos;Head or Guilty Crown? :P

I'm slow and lazy with my anime watching. I want to watch the more exciting one first.

Haak · 2012-02-14, 08:31

I haven't watched it but I've heard that Chaos;Head is a very bad adaptation which is evident even to non VN players (in contrast to Steins;Gate) but I am watching Guilty Crown and I can say that it's only worth watching for it's impressive production values and little else. It is exciting if you turn your brain off a bit but it hasn't finished airing so it'll be a while if you still want to watch Chaos;Head. I'd go with Chaos;Head first.

RWBladewing · 2012-02-14, 12:06

I actually just watched Chaos;Head a week ago and will definitely agree completely with the above that it is a bad adaptation and this is clear to someone who has not played the VN. There's some pretty huge plot points left totally unexplained and development for many of the characters is seriously rushed. (The stories for some of the girls were so poorly resolved that I think they'd have been better off not even including them at all. I also ended up really hating the female lead and I get the feeling that I wasn't supposed to because there was more to her story that they either didn't tell or got wrong.)

I know nothing about Guilty Crown but I don't think Chaos;Head should be a high priority.

can i use any type of packaging to ship via USPS? i have an extra UPS express pad pack and don't want to look awkward or get rejected using another carriers packaging when waiting in line.

Paranoid Android · 2012-02-14, 13:00

Thanks for the responses Haak and RWBladewing.

I'm gonna watch Guilty Crown, then if I can get my hands on the VN for Chaos;Head (unlikely), I'll watch the anime first, and then the VN. But if not, I might just not watch it at all.

I'm sad that it's not close to par with Steins;Gate, which anime review sites also show a significant rating difference.

USPS does end-destination delivery for UPS, so I don't imagine that they'd mind UPS packaging. Even if it weren't UPS packing, as far as I know they don't care about the packaging type - just make sure that there are no bar codes or address labels from previous shipments.

If you're really worried about it and it's possible for you to do so, you could always swing by your post office or stop your mailman/woman and ask them. Otherwise, I'd just go ahead and ship it that way.

I mean COMPLETE list, not POPULAR ANTICIPATED list. That includes VNs and semi-announced ones like Tokitowa.

You should have said so, then. You only mentioned JRPGs, not VNs.

Even so those are all all anticipated titles which I have already known. Japan releases much more than that I believe.

That is one hell of a heaven. Thanks!

What about JRPGs?

grylsyjaeger · 2012-02-19, 07:21

Alright I've got another question regarding Japanese.

Again a question from Muv-Luv.

There's a scene during the Yokohama base incident where Tskuyomi orders her subordinates to ready their swords and to charge.

She says something along the lines of "A-Shotai, war cry!! Charge!"

But the word she used for charge has me puzzled. It sounded like "tsuzuke", would this be right? I thought she should have said something like "kougeki kaishi" or just "ike!"

DarkyPwnz · 2012-02-19, 14:18

I've seen some drawings of human characters with huge heads and proportionally very small bodies. What is that called and why do I hate it without knowing what it really is?

Haak · 2012-02-19, 14:28

I remember hearing once that it has its roots in the concept of the sensory homunculus.

That's all I know...

Dhomochevsky · 2012-02-19, 15:01

<-- chibi ?

Haak · 2012-02-19, 15:18

Oh lol, for some reason I saw "huge hands" as well.

Yeah it sounds like chibi.
