There are some problems with yaoi, yes, however, you just gotta search for the good ones. This is why I usually read manga, as there's very little good yaoi anime (my fave one is probably a parody BL anime, can you believe it). I don't pay much attention to yuri anime, but I'm taking a guess that there's far more variety out there than yaoi. I could go into why I think some yaoi go into the stereotypical gender roles, but I'll probably bore you and I'll ramble on. Keep in mind that most of this stuff come from Japan, and their idealistic man might be and look different from ours. I mean, have you ever seen Japanese men in host clubs?

But yeah, I've search hard and I've found some BL manga that's fairly realistic and don't really play up in the stereotypical gender roles (not a huge fan of seme & uke :( We need more realistic relationships). I'll list some if ya like. ;) I'm not sure on the bara. Some stuff is just PWP and a whole bunch of hypermasculinity (but I'm probably generalizing here -- yaoi could be the same. I've just come across one-shots and doujins. Hey man, if you know a bara manga with a good plot and character development, tell me!). But if it's made [usually] by men, for gay men, then they're must be doing something right if they're making a profit.

I had a hard time clicking with the other ladies at the time. You know? I could perfectly place them with other great guys, but they didn't really fit me. And then I met her. I was so determined to rescue Nowi, but it was so hard moving in the sand, you couldn't see anything. She died 4 times until I finally saved her and kept the rest of my group safe. Then I found out she was over a thousand years old, and I was like. Hey, that's cool, and paired her up with myself to be friends. Then I used a second seal on her, oh and boy did she blossom. She was so powerful with me I couldn't resist. We had a swift engagement, and we eventually had 2 lovely girls, Morgan, and Nah. They fought very well like their parents. Myself and Nowi one shotted pretty much anything that came into our path. Oh, the memories.

I know what you mean though haha, I just generally dislike overly sexualized stuff, so I just stray off Yaoi/Yuri/Het/Etc

Of good/realistic BL manga? Okay, keep in mind I'm not a huge fan on sex (this goes for hetero romances as well), so the BL manga I've read has very little "you-know-what" scenes. Brb going to quickly check MAL.

In the meantime, keep talking Smash! =P

Aw man, though, on my second playthrough. I married My Unit to Lucina, just for the lolz of marrying my best friends daughter. Hehe. But I have really become attached to that ship. I really hope the next fire emblem game still has shipping.....

ooooohhhh....I really disagree with this.

They do not sound the same or sound like the game at all. Not even close.

I need to tell why: The sound design and so, the whole conventions used in most of the tracks from TTYD and SPM, have a little something that makes them very unique: sounds.

Yeah, you pretty much have to listen the original console output OR, a ripped wav OST (which I have) to hear everything you should hear. Because if you listen to them, you will notice some sounds that are completely "out of there" in itself. There's several examples of it, but most of the track are based on those sounds that basically enhance the audio experience.

Take "Hey, don't move!" for example you can hear multiple time what sounds to be a "scream?". I don't have any idea what the heck it is, but hearing this sounds gives the funny aspect of it by being silly in how awkward the atmosphere is.

Shadow queen final battle is impressing in the uses of sounds. At one point, you hear the main melody mixed with a track that is so much intense and so hidden by being in the background that it really get most of your attention instantly. I could write a whole page for the whole track, but it gives you the mix between the usual dramatic boss battle effect with darkness and evil.

I could also take "Anwer the question!" where the preogressive sounds adds a pression feel mixed with the main track that sets the "question" feel.
Normally, I mostly discern a main track that is mixed with complementary sounds and goes well each other, but in this case, the sounds only amplify the effect while TTYD music enhance the music. This makes the music more diverse in what atmosphere they try to do since it's more precise.

Kirby soundtrack mostly has a main track while the background just follows. What is unique in kirby ost that I found is the good use of orchestral instruments like violin or flute (I think it's a flute?). That makes the style of the ost, but TTYD was so much different in my eyes that I never found anything I could call similar in the design and everytime I hear a TTYD track, I know it ONLY COMES from TTYD because it just feels like it.

SPM is basically TTYD, but with even more sounds (ultimate show is really a fest of those and it clearly is very far from orchestral instruments).

Such intruments are some time used in TTYD (like tittle screen and glitszville), but they most of the time never take over sounds.

PM64 however, doesn't do it that much despite the ost being very good.

That's why I don't understand why a remix of Green Green sounds like a TTYD or SPM music because the sound design is way too different.

I can pass you the Wav ost if you have 240 mb free on your hard drive, this is the best quality you can have as this wav was ripped from the original hardware file.

And yes, I have that much to say about vgm.

Melodically, the Green Greens version 2 arrangement sounds like it could be in a Paper Mario game. Ignoring the instruments used and stylistic differences. Completely based on the arrangement of the melody and accompaniment . To me. It sounds like it could fit in a Paper Mario game that featured Kirby(which is what I intended to be the meaning of my original post). The songs I specifically have in mind are the Super Paper Mario ending credits theme and the Paper Mario Thousand Year Door title screen. Not the entire soundtrack.

All three of those songs give off that fanciful and strange feeling.

(I was going to go into song structure like ABA crap but I don't really feel like its necessary to prove my opinion)

My second playthrough I went with Lissa, because damn it Owain is the best, Although I don't like blonde Morgan too much.

I don't get the fandom's love for that ship, marrying your best friend's daughter is just too awkward for me, or marrying any kid really.

@R.O.B You forgot to put the spoiler in the first bracket.

Edit: And you fixed it.

Don't talk about how good Attack on Titan is until you've seen Clannad.

Clannad is much better than Attack on Titan.

One of the best animes to exist.

Attack on Titan is good but its not even as good as Endless Eight.

Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but it's my understanding that Ace Attorney's crossover with Prof Layton came out today. Do you plan on getting it?

I need money before I can think about buying things.


If I had a job I would in a heartbeat, but I have priorities, I'm waiting until smash comes out in october.

I wouldn't mind sacrificing Dr. Mario just to have Paper Mario in the game instead. We all know that the Paper Mario games are WAY more superior than the boring and repetitive Dr. Mario games. :troll:
