I'm actually going to strongly disagree with this. I prefer the anime over the manga.

ESPECIALLY due to manga's...strange ending.

The manga's ending was kind of weird, but the anime ending was a complete asspull.

[collapse="Soul Eater spoilers"]Maka punches Asura and he explodes. After Asura had curb stomped them? But, hey, cheesy speeches about courage and bravery make your punches so strong, they can kill gods!

Not to mention the anime left some unanswered plot points. The manga provides backstory on Asura, among other things.[/collapse]

I'm lazy, so I'll just be taking that one. Especially since it includes stuff from Cave Story.

I hope I'm not the only one that liked this intro song much better than the one used for the later episodes.

Are you kidding? The first intro song is legendary! In fact, there have been so damn many remixes and parodies of it. I'll just leave this here...



And that's not even the end of the list

That's honestly something really underwhelming in terms of hype for this game, music.

For Brawl it was one of the biggest features for updates and hype. Like Sakurai really really really went out of his way to hype up the music for Brawl. Nothing feels like it's going to be surprising in that department, no newsposts of "So I was talking with Koji Kondo with how I was going to have this stage and all these songs from this series, and he said 'you know what, I'll do a special rendition just for this!' and you can post it on your website *laughs*" that I'm sure were pretty common during the brawl days (I can't recall what songs Sakurai ended up 'releasing' during daily posts, but IIRC the Ocarina of Time Waltz, FD's main theme, etc etc, were all given dedicated posts).

Could so easily give us so many hype PotD's with music.

I feel like the negative responses Sakurai had from Brawl really jaded him in so many ways, the whole exclusion of a story mode (something he poured extensive resources into, no matter how lame it was) and no "celebration of Nintendo" spark that Brawl had by really going in depth with the tiny particularities of things in the game in terms of visuals, audio and "feel". All PotD's are basically "reveals", but it just hasn't been the same weaving of a story.

You have a point there, but I'm perfectly content with what I've heard from the demos and trailers. ID: Purpose and the train theme from Spirit Tracks have never sounded better.

It wasn't so much the punch that killed him, but the power and strong belief of the courage within her she decided to bet on. Fear powered him up and drove others to madness, so naturally, courage would be the counter to that.

Well that's what they were going for anyway.

I'm fine with it because we get awesome stuff like this thanks to it.

I kinda like having the music a surprise. Playing a random stage for the first time and getting that "Oh no way! I love this song!" feeling is one of my favourite parts.

Oh and personal theme songs?
Well this song has definitely been a favourite to motion to *too embarrassed hipster to say dance/headbop to* for quite a while :)

I hope it's only due to being a demo, because I don't want to hear a cut version of Id (Purpose).

The new Gerudo Valley remix, though, is of excellent quality. Preserves the same music style and, while they took some liberties, they worked well.

And of course, Kid Icarus: Uprising music is always epic. Dark Pit's Theme and Boss Fight 1 fit Smash really well.

I knew what they were going with that and the message they wanted to send, but the execution was poor, in my opinion.

If Maka had done the same thing, but instead of punching Asura, she wielded Soul to achieve a powerful move to finish him off, it would have been a much more satisfying ending. A big theme of the series was the team work between meisters and weapons, after all.

I remember when everyone went crazy when Ashley's song was revealed. Good times...

Anyways, got to watching Death Note. Don't spoil it; I'm watching it right now.

Didn't the anime ending end on the theme of friendship or something? I can't remember, but watching that ending a while ago didn't feel satisfying back then.

Saying that, waiting for the manga chapters to come out monthly was agonising, to the point I kept forgetting what happened in the previous chapter. I might have to re-read the manga and digest everything in one go.

In the end, I always like to come back to Soul Eater for the art/animation. It's probably the most memorable thing about the show, though the decent plot kept me coming back.

Holy crap.
It's perfect. Now to splice this intro into my totally not pirated copies of the actual anime.
I probably should legally obtain it at some point seeing as how I'm actually making money now...

My theme song... I can't decide.

Not that I'm rather tubby or blubby, but it just feels right.

I never understood why translators do that crap. It doesn't make sense at all.

Japanese may have terms that are untranslatable, all languages do, but it's not like it's a complete enigma.

I may be ignorant of me to say, but Death Note started (or at least came to the forefront of it) the fansubber meme of "T/L Note: tons of crap" for mundane reasons. I think it was a jab on the proliferation of -chans and all that **** always having a T/L note or a lot of publications overusing T/L notes for no good reason. It was pretty successful in killing it through comedy. Doesn't stop some groups from still doing it for the lelz, but yeah, all older anime still has it in it's droves.

Or stuff subbed by bad groups, but you wouldn't download stuff from bad groups would you Frostwraith.... right?

Yet again, another game was announced today that I want for Vita, but will never be brought state-side:


Honestly, Danganronpa is the purpose of my Vita at this point, until I get SAO from the PSN.


I have two theme songs.



Because I'm fluffy on the inside and smoky on the outside

So I ran into another fake leak, but I have to say that:

Game Boy from Nintendo. Has arms and legs, plus LCD face. Uses Game Boy Camera, Link Cable, and various Game Boy Game-inspired attacks.

sounds interesting. It almost makes me want it to be real.

Personal theme?




Either version works. C'mon, guys. You should have seen this coming.

...but if I had to pick an instrumental theme?



Between those two. Solemn, sober, and a little more than thoughtful. I can be a pretty funny and carefree guy at times, but it took a lot of work to get to where I'm at now. I feel these two tracks kinda reconcile the most polarizing elements in my life, past and present.


Oh, and bonus track:


This singular track probably redefined my way of looking at the whole world. Sure, it's not some sweeping orchestral epic or even rivetingly written in composition and lyrics, but the message behind this song shaped my core. Evolve, adapt. There is no singular way of looking at the world. There are truisms, but no absolute truths.

inb4 @ Shaya Shaya and @ Frostwraith Frostwraith lambast me with science!1!
