[MartAnimE]

Spoiler: Episode 8 • show

[MartAnimE] Report here~!
[AlexShadow] I think it's called Finale because it's the end of the first act
[MartAnimE] Tiro Finale~!
[Noirlax] Finale Finale Finalesu~!
[AlexShadow] "tiro finale" What the hell does that mean, like what's a "tiro"
[AlexShadow] Shut up Sayaka
[MartAnimE] :smile:
[MartAnimE] Magical Girls with Guns :V
[AlexShadow] that I'd like to see
[MartAnimE] Mami and Homura qualify
[Noirlax] Mireille isn't enthused by the idea XD
[MartAnimE] she's not magical :frowning:
[Noirlax] She can be with Kiri-dust
[MartAnimE] but it's fine, we still love you, Mireille :V
[Noirlax] I was imagining her agent I have a new role for you :smile:
[BeyondTime] Cazzy was the magical girl on girl show. :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] girls with guns not girls on girls :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] Margaret Burton is the magical girl with guns
[Noirlax] for me :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] ready btw
[MartAnimE] yeah Madlax and Margaret are kinda magical
[Noirlax] Margaret even has a magical maid to protect her :v
[MartAnimE] I think Elenore is not magical but she's awesome nonetheless :smile:
[BeyondTime] I think you are combining magical Kari with maid Elenore in this case. :stuck_out_tongue:
[Noirlax] lol
[Noirlax] One day it's going to be BTF magical girls with guns :v
[MartAnimE] sure, I know one or two card tricks :V
[Noirlax] Like Ellis? :smile:
[MartAnimE] Ellis knows real magic XD
[Noirlax] I believe you have magical girl powers, you just need the Panda hat :panda_face:
[MartAnimE] Panda Power~!
[MartAnimE] :star: :star: :star:
[MartAnimE] activate~!
[MartAnimE] :panda_face: :panda_face: :panda_face:
[MartAnimE] everyone there now?
[AlexShadow] I'm here
[Noirlax] I'm here
[BeyondTime] same
[AlexShadow] just like the FJY song
[forlornhope] here
[Noirlax] Laetitia appears
[MartAnimE] ready?
[AlexShadow] maybe a little less moody
[AlexShadow] ready
[BeyondTime] ready
[Noirlax] ready
[forlornhope] ready
[AlexShadow] go
[BeyondTime] go
[MartAnimE] go~!
[Noirlax] go~!
[forlornhope] go
[Noirlax] Kuroda series composition - the same Madlax Kuroda?
[AlexShadow] yes the same
[Noirlax] wow
[MartAnimE] yup
[AlexShadow] also Spider Riders
[MartAnimE] passport!
[AlexShadow] Your Name is also Zweis favorite movie!
[MartAnimE] XD
[Noirlax] passport reminds me of Kirika shooting those soldiers. Lol Alex
[MartAnimE] Claudia touched his butt :V
[Noirlax] I wouldn't complain XD
[MartAnimE] this is really uncomfortable XD
[AlexShadow] join me Zwei and we'll take down Inferno together
[AlexShadow] and make our own organization
[Noirlax] Touching your butt wasn't enough let's touch your crotch too :v
[MartAnimE] actually she made sure to mention he would still be her subordinate :V
[MartAnimE] working together but not as equals
[MartAnimE] she's just as bad as Scythe -_-
[Noirlax] she's manipulative in a different way
[MartAnimE] yeah
[MartAnimE] creepy
[MartAnimE] I like this BGM
[AlexShadow] "struggle for zero"
[AlexShadow] it always reminds me of John Williams score from Munich
[MartAnimE] never watched that
[MartAnimE] you should take off and leave Reiji
[MartAnimE] while you still have the chance
[MartAnimE] Lizzie got Ein :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] calling to Japan from a payphone would be expensive
[Noirlax] aww
[AlexShadow] woman on the line sounds way to frantic in the dub
[MartAnimE] yeah makes you think that maybe Reiji's mother hasn't given up on finding him yet
[MartAnimE] McGuire being weird again
[Noirlax] McGuire being weird?
[MartAnimE] the weird vampire guy
[Noirlax] I mean what was weird?
[MartAnimE] always lying around in the dark
[Noirlax] ah
[AlexShadow] take her to a vet
[MartAnimE] I wonder if Phantoms get medical training
[MartAnimE] removing bullets seems vital in their line of work
[MartAnimE] see what I mean about being weird XD
[Noirlax] I see
[Noirlax] and prawn symbolism XD
[BeyondTime] I don't think that's medical training. That's a western barber removing a bullet after a gunfight.
[MartAnimE] yeah it didn't seem like he knew what he was doing
[BeyondTime] Because the hipocratic oath forbad actual doctors from doing surgery.
[MartAnimE] just improvising
[BeyondTime] I prefer Aya as Kero-chan.
[MartAnimE] that's kinda sweet, even though she's not listening  :V
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] he got too attached to Ein to go back to his old life
[MartAnimE] and he's not willing to remain loyal to Inferno on his own either
[MartAnimE] his strongest bond is with Ein
[Okoa] Oh I didn't know this was happening today lol
[MartAnimE] lol hello Kapenguin
[MartAnimE] hurry home :V
[BeyondTime] Just for the record I'm not calling you Kapenguin...
[AlexShadow] just Pen Pen
[MartAnimE] :penguin:
[Noirlax] Aww Reiji
[BeyondTime] In anime terms that's almost as bad and being called Moon Moon.
[MartAnimE] I like that they're ditching both Scythe and Claudia
[MartAnimE] those two can go to hell
[MartAnimE] or Inferno XD
[MartAnimE] go to Inferno :V
[Noirlax] end of episode
[MartAnimE] end for me too
[Noirlax] I think Claudia is the more interesting of the two for Scythe and Claudia.
[MartAnimE] well sure, but less bad is still bad XD
[MartAnimE] I still kinda like Lizzie
[MartAnimE] she is a simple woman
[MartAnimE] but she's loyal
[BeyondTime] A lesser evil is still evil.
[MartAnimE] even if it's misdirected
[BeyondTime] Although she did imply that her own story isn't disimilar to Zwei's.
[Noirlax] With these I don't mind if you're bad too much as long as they are interesting or sympathetic.
[BeyondTime] Once a tool, but her will brought her to power.
[MartAnimE] yeah I think Claudia learned how to play the game and she now enjoys it too much
[BeyondTime] Scythe isn't sympathetic.
[MartAnimE] she can never go back after tasting power
[BeyondTime] Claudia could be, but my guess is it will be in the Altena sense of sympathetic.
[AlexShadow] scyth is more Friday than Altena
[Noirlax] sounds like working in any big organisation Marta XD
[MartAnimE] what bothers me about both of them is their willingness to manipulate others
[BeyondTime] I never saw Friday as a pervert.
[MartAnimE] and she might say it's for Reiji's benefit but it really isn't
[BeyondTime] He's an Artiste.
[AlexShadow] I mean in his cold sociopathic tendencies
[Noirlax] I think Friday is far better, he had a philosophy and principle to go with him
[Noirlax] even if it is twisted
[AlexShadow] then again Scythe has his artsy side too
[BeyondTime] I don't think FM is a sociopath. He's crazy, but it's something else.
[BeyondTime] More like a mania.
[MartAnimE] Scythe and Claudia are both perverts in their own way, but Scythe is more, he thinks of Ein more as an object, Claudia wants Reiji to be submissive but she still wants him to be a person
[AlexShadow] well it's from my vague understanding of psychology so don't take my word for it
[Noirlax] Scythe has more a sense of theatre in my opinion
[BeyondTime] Well I will say this. Film makers borrow from the DSM and from published medical case histories to make their characters.
[BeyondTime] So you can probably expect that any seriously vilanous character probably borrows elements from sociopathy and narciscism.
[BeyondTime] Just because they are probably an amalgam of different messed up people.
[Noirlax] Yeah probably
[Noirlax] I do like this episode, find Ein and Reiji more sympathetic from this episode, not M/K sympathetic but still good
[BeyondTime] Yeah I used probably three times. I'm a total hack writer. :stuck_out_tongue:
[AlexShadow] one might say .hack writer
[MartAnimE] yeah I think it makes us care more because they do seem to genuinely care about each other
[Noirlax] I didn't even notice James.
[Noirlax] Lol Alex
[MartAnimE] Reiji throws away his past to help Ein
[MartAnimE] And Ein was willing to go down alone, she wanted Reiji to go back to Inferno and live
[BeyondTime] I have more sympathy for them in a way because their memories were taken from them. Without an identity it's hard to make a moral choice when presented with the option to kill or be killed.
[MartAnimE] exactly
[BeyondTime] .hack lol
[MartAnimE] anyways ready for 9 when you all are
[Noirlax] yeah true Marta, wasn't really thinking about it just how I felt.
[Noirlax] just a minute
[BeyondTime] Kirika and Mireille are placed in a totally different environment too. You dont get the sense the people they work for are pure evil.
[AlexShadow] I'm ready with week old re-heated french fries :fries:
[BeyondTime] Here Inferno is clearly a monstrous thing.
[AlexShadow] Phantom is more gritty Noir is a bit more Bond?
[BeyondTime] Murder is wrong, but I have a hard time shedding a tear for a bunch of corrupt cops or a coup d'état coordinator.
[BeyondTime] Yeah it is a bit more bond.
[MartAnimE] yeah at least Mireille and Kirika had autonomy
[BeyondTime] Killing a small child is a pretty evil act though.
[MartAnimE] they could choose their own targets
[BeyondTime] And it seemed to turn Cladia on, which says something about Claudia.
[MartAnimE] she's bad news :V
[BeyondTime] Yeah she needs to be locked in a VR Sim with Aura for a few years. :smile:
[Noirlax] back and ready
[Noirlax] what turns Claudia on?
[BeyondTime] Not Aura.
[BeyondTime] Sorry I confused my .hack AIs.
[Noirlax] Morgana?
[BeyondTime] Yes Morgana
[BeyondTime] I'd say Sora, but that would be kind of mean to Sora.
[AlexShadow] Sora/Haseo
[MartAnimE] Sora is just a child
[MartAnimE] ready btw
[Noirlax] Alex, I think Phantom is more gritty, not sure about Noir being more James Bond probably but not sure.
[Noirlax] ready
[AlexShadow] ready
[BeyondTime] ready
[forlornhope] ready

[MartAnimE]

Spoiler: Episode 9 • show

[AlexShadow] go
[MartAnimE] Go~!
[Noirlax] go~!
[forlornhope] go
[BeyondTime] go
[Noirlax] Karma - yeah Phantom is like a bad Karma spiral into Inferno :open_mouth:
[AlexShadow] GENCO who actually gave a budget
[Noirlax] :up:
[AlexShadow] Mashimo Pan
[Noirlax] Self Serve
[AlexShadow] lol theme song on the radio
[MartAnimE] ah
[MartAnimE] they listen to KARMA  XD
[MartAnimE] that is weird
[AlexShadow] cool transition from the radio to playing it as a full insert
[AlexShadow] Cargo Air
[AlexShadow] they must ship Beer brand of Beer and Soda brand of Soda
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] Shiga is right
[MartAnimE] listen to him :V
[MartAnimE] when Reiji destroyed his passport
[MartAnimE] that was the most emotion we've ever seen from Ein :open_mouth:
[Noirlax] yeah that's good
[AlexShadow] we're not the assassins you're looking for
[forlornhope] lol
[MartAnimE] those poor thugs XD
[Noirlax] XD
[AlexShadow] Ein's theme has so many variations this one is very pretty
[Noirlax] It's soft
[MartAnimE] he should name her Kirika :V
[Noirlax] lol
[AlexShadow] wasn't it supposed to be Ellen
[MartAnimE] Eren?
[AlexShadow] Well Eren is cuter anyway
[MartAnimE] or is it Erin?
[Noirlax] Eren is my Engrish name
[forlornhope] boy toy :p
[AlexShadow] the subtitles still spell it Eren
[AlexShadow] it was like that in the original Simulcast as well
[MartAnimE] uh oh XD
[forlornhope] end of ep
[MartAnimE] they didn't get far :frowning:
[Noirlax] same
[MartAnimE] end aswell
[Noirlax] I guess in this anime hope  is given in small parts and then quickly taken away :p
[MartAnimE] yeah T_T
[AlexShadow] onto the series Fauxnale
[AlexShadow] yeah this show is dark like that
[Noirlax] Mark of the Urobutcher Alex?
[AlexShadow] that's the Urobutcher indeed
[Noirlax] :open_mouth:
[MartAnimE] but at least she got a name
[MartAnimE] ready for 10?
[Noirlax] yeah
[MartAnimE] brb feeding Roger :dog:
[Noirlax] They said Scythe was Claudia's dog, that's insulting to dogs :dog:
[BeyondTime] Those people are just insulting to people.
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] lol
[MartAnimE] back :dog2:
[MartAnimE] dog 1 and dog 2
[MartAnimE] Ein :dog:  and Zwei :dog2:
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] who wants a hotdog? :hotdog:
[Noirlax] me~!
[AlexShadow] I do
[MartAnimE] :hotdog::hotdog::hotdog::hotdog::hotdog:
[Noirlax] I like corndogs
[MartAnimE] me too
[AlexShadow] thoese are good
[MartAnimE] so American :smile:
[MartAnimE] tried it for the first time a couple of years ago when I moved here
[AlexShadow] You better believe it! In AMERICA
[Noirlax] Once a year treat for me XD
[AlexShadow] what is the best way to peel tape geez I can't ever get a perfect strand
[MartAnimE] what kind of tape?
[AlexShadow] white Scotch Tape the thick kind
[MartAnimE] is it attached to a cutter?
[Noirlax] Helps to have fingernails
[AlexShadow] no just a roll
[MartAnimE] I recommend scisors or a sharp knife
[MartAnimE] a box cutter will do also
[BeyondTime] I think he means it splits apart.
[AlexShadow] yeah that's my issue most of the time
[Noirlax] I think it helps if you get the whole edge of the tape out before you pull the tape
[MartAnimE] well you gotta pell it to where there are no splits
[AlexShadow] think I got it now
[Noirlax] yeah true
[MartAnimE] yeah that's why it helps to have it attched to a cutter
[AlexShadow] well getting it off is easy with scissors making a clean peel is the hard part
[Noirlax] that helped with that banana peel. Yeah a cutter is much easier
[MartAnimE] http://www.clasohlson.com/medias/sys_master/8872796225566.jpg
[MartAnimE] always glue the end after using, so it's ready for the next time you need it
[MartAnimE] if you don't have one you could also just tape the end unto itself :V
[AlexShadow] masking tape that's what it is
[AlexShadow] not the clear kind in that pic
[MartAnimE] ah masking tape
[MartAnimE] are you painting :smile:
[BeyondTime] Oh that stuff tends to come apart.
[AlexShadow] it was the only tape I could find
[MartAnimE] you need Duck, Gorilla or T-Rex tape, if it's to close boxes
[AlexShadow] besides the thin kind anyway
[MartAnimE] the silver type won't tear easilly
[AlexShadow] yeah
[Noirlax] T-Rex Tape
[AlexShadow] I might need to go buy some tomorrow
[AlexShadow] unless we have somewhere
[BeyondTime] I think you mean Duct.
[MartAnimE] https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0118/2262/products/Shurtape_T-Rex_Duct_Tape_large.jpg?v=1456013130
[AlexShadow] Quack
[MartAnimE] no there's a brand called Duck tape XD
[BeyondTime] Oh I didn't know that.
[MartAnimE] https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91dv1qjM7-L._SL1500_.jpg
[AlexShadow] yeah it's true
[AlexShadow] there's a brand of Duct Tape called DUCK TAPE
[AlexShadow] it's brilliant
[MartAnimE] I like how these brands try to outmach each other by picking bigger meaner animals XD
[BeyondTime] Not wearing a tutu so not interested in this product. :stuck_out_tongue:
[MartAnimE] Duck < Gorilla < T-Rex
[AlexShadow] yeah it's not Duck's tape
[BeyondTime] Or ducks plum sauce.
[MartAnimE] what's next, God Tape :V
[AlexShadow] Universe Tape
[BeyondTime] No you have to do lucifer tape first.
[AlexShadow] Multiverse Tape
[Noirlax] Video Tape? XD
[AlexShadow] Madokami Tape
[AlexShadow] Homukami Tape
[BeyondTime] I thought it was Homucifer?
[Noirlax] Parta Tape!
[AlexShadow] yeah Homucifer works too
[MartAnimE] I'm ready for Phantom btw :ghost:
[AlexShadow] I like Homukami best ^^
[Noirlax] :ghost:
[BeyondTime] If the devil looked like Homura people would be lining up to get into hell.
[Noirlax] ready too
[AlexShadow] ready
[BeyondTime] ready
[MartAnimE] Brooke?
[forlornhope] ready

[MartAnimE]

Spoiler: Episode 10 • show

[MartAnimE] Go~!
[BeyondTime] go
[AlexShadow] go
[forlornhope] go
[BeyondTime] He's off posting a Doon line I bet.
[Noirlax] go~!
[Noirlax] Only the best puns for you James
[MartAnimE] aww just a dream
[Noirlax] aww
[AlexShadow] he's not naked in that chair? Claudia should take tips from Rosenberg
[Noirlax] lol
[MartAnimE] stupid Scythe :V
[Noirlax] Lizzie ok I listen to you clau grr
[MartAnimE] poor Lizzie XD
[MartAnimE] Scythe needs to die :angry:
[Noirlax] poor Ein
[MartAnimE] yeah :frowning:
[BeyondTime] I wonder if that was a .44 automag.
[BeyondTime] It's finicky about repeated firings.
[MartAnimE] yeah odd choice
[MartAnimE] considering Ein will be alone against everyone at Inferno
[BeyondTime] Yup it's a .44 auto mag
[MartAnimE] Reiji wasting bullets :gun:
[BeyondTime] You have to handmake the cartridges for that.
[BeyondTime] It's a trimmed down rifle shell with a .44 pistol bullet.
[MartAnimE] poor Ein, she's still healing from that gunshot
[Noirlax] Interesting dilemma for Eren/Ein
[MartAnimE] lol Lizzie were you even aiming XD
[AlexShadow] "he's still not dead"  Well he could have been if you just shot him, lizzie
[MartAnimE] I guess that's why she's just a thug and Phantom are the top assassins in the organization :V
[Noirlax] yup
[Noirlax] she's a top thug
[Noirlax] though
[AlexShadow] that was  nice instrumental version of ecstasy of killing
[forlornhope] lol oops
[MartAnimE] yeah run you jerk :V
[MartAnimE] Reiji gone bonkers XD
[Noirlax] ah the irony
[forlornhope] that laugh XD
[MartAnimE] oh crap :open_mouth:
[forlornhope] he's not worth taking a bullet for :v
[MartAnimE] why Eren T_T
[MartAnimE] sleeping with the fish :fish:
[MartAnimE] Reiji took a lot of bullets also
[MartAnimE] it doesn't look good
[forlornhope] empty apartment :frowning:
[MartAnimE] he somehow didn't bleed to death? ^^;
[forlornhope] or drown :p
[AlexShadow] you know I almost think they should have trimmed this show to 13 episodes and made that the finale
[MartAnimE] it's nice having main character immunity :V
[Noirlax] That was good though it was kind of overdramatic. That could have worked Alex but I like the other arc there.
[MartAnimE] yeah lots of good stuff coming up
[AlexShadow] actually next episode is a recap iirc
[MartAnimE] next episode is kinda recappy
[forlornhope] yeah
[MartAnimE] it has a few new scenes
[Noirlax] maybe for the next rewatch
[MartAnimE] but mostly recap
[MartAnimE] oh yeah we're done for today
[MartAnimE] we're right on schedule
[forlornhope] well it'll be at least 3 weeks before we can have a rewatch so I don't mind the recap
[Noirlax] sounds good to me
[MartAnimE] yeah good timing for recap
[Noirlax] I remember it took awhile for the subs to come out back then too
[BeyondTime] When do you leave Ricky?
[Noirlax] Late October
[Noirlax] we probably have to finish this series after I come back
[MartAnimE] I don't mind
[AlexShadow] that's cool
[BeyondTime] I'm in no rush.
[MartAnimE] maybe we can start planning the next rewatch already
[AlexShadow] how long you going to be gone again
[Noirlax] we can time it to the 2nd recap episode for that :smile:
[Noirlax] 4 weeks
[AlexShadow] nice
[Noirlax] probably more like 5 or 6 between rewatch periods
[forlornhope] there you go :smile:
[Noirlax] perfect :smile:
[forlornhope] which ep is the second recap tho?
[AlexShadow] I think 19
[forlornhope] ah ok. that could work
[MartAnimE] that will fall on rewatch 6
[MartAnimE] end of DVD 3
[Noirlax] even if we miss that it's ok
[Noirlax] no biggie
[MartAnimE] so yeah we can do two more rewatches before Riki leaves
[forlornhope] probably could get in 2 more
[MartAnimE] sounds pretty good
[MartAnimE] anymore discussion?
[Noirlax] Yeah these 3 eps are pretty good
[AlexShadow] forgot how good the cinematography is in this show
[Noirlax] The fauxnale is pretty good though it nearly was over the top for me. Yeah the cinematography is first rate Alex
[MartAnimE] yeah and very heavily centered on Reiji/Eren relationship
[MartAnimE] and their identity outside of being Phantom
[Noirlax] I felt that was worth exploring
[forlornhope] some interesting story devolopments
[forlornhope] don't remember the next part as well
[Noirlax] yeah the use of the camera :up: and the story/character development as well
[Noirlax] I remember the next arc kind of
[MartAnimE] next part reminds me of The Professional
[Noirlax] ah that makes sense. I've never seen that movie, what do you think of it?
[BeyondTime] Wow so it hit 108 today in my area.
[MartAnimE] it's one of my favorite movies actually ^^
[BeyondTime] Someone moved the sun closer I think.
[forlornhope] that's too hot :v
[AlexShadow] feeling like a fried egg :egg:
[BeyondTime] Actually I boiled eggs. Want to make deviled eggs.
[MartAnimE] Noir also borrowed from it
[MartAnimE] I think both Noir and Phantom pay homage to it
[BeyondTime] It borrowed part of the concept and the plant from that film.
[BeyondTime] Although Noir had a happier ending.
[Noirlax] I know Noir borrowed from it but I'm not sure how the dynamics and cinematography is in that one so I'll have to check it out.
[MartAnimE] yeah it borrows elements but each one has its own identity
[Noirlax] I'm partly drawn by that Mashimo style
[Noirlax] Phantom is more modern in terms of directing and pacing, I feel like as if Noir had pacing and directing closer to Hitchock or Sergio Leone from the 60s.
[BeyondTime] Leon is a good deal less depressing than Phantom.
[MartAnimE] I should get going, we're gonna watch Dragon Ball and gotta shower later.
[AlexShadow] Phantom is hardly rapid edited
[BeyondTime] Later Marta
[MartAnimE] you all keep at it and type the end when finished ^^
[MartAnimE] bai bai :dog:
[Noirlax] no but it's more mainstream I guess
[Noirlax] bai bai Marta
[AlexShadow] it's still quite paced and methodical
[MartAnimE] :ghost: :ghost: :ghost:
[Noirlax] :dog:
[Noirlax] ***
[MartAnimE] ***
[AlexShadow] it did have a mainstream appeal but I think part of that is because it's based on a visual novel
[AlexShadow] it's like compare .hack//SIGN to SAO it's a near apples to oranges comparison despite the very similar premises
[AlexShadow] but it's kind of the same thing I think what you're getting at
[forlornhope] night marta
[Noirlax] yeah that's possible, I notice the cuts are quicker and the pans are shorter when I made that statement.
[forlornhope] brb taking farah out  to go potty
[Noirlax] ok
[AlexShadow] well more animation budget helps
[Noirlax] yeah that's true
[Noirlax] Noir/Phantom Apples/Oranges, .hack//Sign to SAO like apples to cheese
[AlexShadow] lol
[Noirlax] XD
[BeyondTime] I've never seen SAO.
[BeyondTime] Asuna is cute though.
[Noirlax] I'm much more satisfied after these eps.
[AlexShadow] I like the design of Asuna
[AlexShadow] too bad her character is as interesting as a plank of wood
[BeyondTime] I hate this show even more now. XD
[Noirlax] I saw the first ep it's pretty bland imo
[Noirlax] It's pretty but bland.
[AlexShadow] I wouldn't even say it's that pretty
[AlexShadow] it's not horrid looking but it's not exceptionally animated
[AlexShadow] it's no KyoAni show
[AlexShadow] it's just average
[Noirlax] Yeah
[Noirlax] I'm still a last decade anime watcher so my visuals standard might be a bit lower XD
[AlexShadow] the days when celuloid was king and 8MM ruled the scene
[Noirlax] not that far back XD
[BeyondTime] I don't think I have watched anything new in a long time.
[BeyondTime] In terms of anime I mean.
[Noirlax] Sorry I go to go to lunch now. Good rewatch, I feel the chemistry between Reiji/Elen has finally lifted off and that lifts the series.
[AlexShadow] so long
[Noirlax] be back in chat later
[Noirlax] Seeya
[Noirlax] :dog:
[BeyondTime] Later Ricky.
[Noirlax] ***
[BeyondTime] I don't really have anything to add.
[BeyondTime] The End?
[AlexShadow] THE END

[MartAnimE]

Due to unforeseen delays, today's rewatch has been postponed until further notice.

[Forlorn Hope]

How about October 1st or October 7th?

[noirlax]

I can do both dates. Since it's October that means there is daylight saving, so US times will be pushed earlier by an hour compared to my time.

[AlexShadow]

The 7th would work best for me

[MartAnimE]

I can't on the 1st, but 7th will do.

[MartAnimE]

Next Rewatch: Saturday October 7/Sunday October 8 at 5 PM MDT /  7 PM EDT / 10 AM AEST

[noirlax]

Last chance for rewatch before my trip will be Sunday 22nd October. Anyone interested?

[Forlorn Hope]

I'd be down for that
