She's completely insane and her mom hates her...Then she hears voices in her head, church music plays, and she kills big white bird mechs. :D Then she gets eaten. :D:D

Seriously, I have to ask. . .

What is even SLIGHTLY likable about Asuka as a character?
I can see where you're coming from. Tsunderes are hit or miss for me, but in Asuka's case I just really liked her. I don't know. Kaname Chidori is another tsundere I really like. :p

She just seemed like a raging thunder<unt to me, I hate characters like that.
Sae from Peach Girl is the same way, another female character that just made me absolutely livid, although I doubt any of you have seen that xD
Though, Haruhi Suzumiya is the same way, but she's extremely lovable :3

on an unrelated note:

far cry 2 is soooo good, if you liked the first one you'll love this one, if you didn't play the first one don't bother this one is so much better!!

everyone get it now haha
I like being off topic. Is it as good as I've heard then? People have told me that the only noticeable flaw in the game is the storyline. I did like the original, so I want to know what they've done with the AI, weapons, combat system, etc. Also, is the game actually a free-roam style FPS now? I know the original boasted freedom of movement but in the end you had to go to the same place and couldn't backtrack once you got there.

Xenogears is amazing even though it took me SEVEN years to beat it XD. When I got to the final duegeon the 2nd disc somehow got damaged to the point where it wouldn't work anymore ;_;. I was finally able to beat it when I got swap magic for the ps2 which allows me to transfer memory card data from the ps2 to the pc(Thank god for emulators >.<).

And a big LOL at whoever said this game has a bad battle system.

asuka is cool cause she has nice b00bzzzz

seriously though evangelion is a great anime and having played xenogears and watching the eva anime/movies i can say that eva has a better plot imo

i really just like the characters and can appreciate the way the story evolves from a simple mech anime to a postmodern fantasy dealing with each of the characters and their attempts to define reality for themselves.

Have you gotten past the title screen? because that would be too much.

Yes you should.

Everyone in the world and their mothers and their brothers and their brother's sister's friend's family dog should play Xenogears.

Gankutsuou is another great anime you guys should watch.

I haven't watched any anime in months. Last thing I saw was uh... Hellsing Ultimate IV. I still need to watch GaoGaiGar and I'll probably get to watching Black Lagoon season 2.

Watch G Gundam. Grow chest hairs.
I've been tempted to do this

mostly because of how hilarious everything is.


Horse gundam, piloted by... a horse? When the gundams themselves can fly? Awesome
Over the top/redundant/nonsensical attack summons
Super saiyan gundams


I only ever saw bits and pieces when it was on cartoon network years ago.

G Gundam is so manly! It's really the first Gundam that I actually got into watching (I never got into any of the other ones, although I'm considering watching some of them sometime in the future, except for SEED. I thought that was awful and I don't even wanna watch SEED Destiny).
