I'm currently reading the light novels for Toaru Majutsu no Index (A Certain Magical Index; the parent series of Railgun). I've read 29 out of the 31 light novels, and I'm planning on watching the anime once I'm all caught up with them. Is anyone here a fan of the series?
I've made my way through a good amount of the series (to about where Acqua is defeated), but I can't take too much of the light novels because (whether due to translation or not) the writing in them can be pretty mediocre.
On the other hand, there's nun punching and that makes up for a lot of it.

So I just finished reading Narutaru. It's well written, but I'm not going to suggest it without a huge warning:
This manga gets really, really dark after a while. I'm just going to leave it at that because the content of some of the last volumes is probably against TiF rules to even mention. If you like grim-dark stuff and are overexposed enough to handle it you'll probably love Narutaru, but if you're not then please stay away from it. I mean I enjoy dark themes a lot and I was really put off by some of the stuff in this.
Test tubes
Also the anime version sucked so bad
Don't even bring up the [bleep]ing test tubes. And then Norio....
And I tried to watch the anime several months ago and had to drop it at the fifth episode.
Also I've finally stopped streaming anime and am now downloading it like some kind of professional.

^It seems like it's almost an unspoken rule that an anime must change OP's when a new season starts. And when you manage an almost perfect first OP your chances of matching it are really low.

On a lighter note I decided to pick up Stella Jogakuin Koutou-ka C3 because I've been following too many dark shows lately and needed to recharge. It's actually not half bad, and for being a show about the airsoft gun fighting club in an all-girls school it has a surprisingly small amount of fanservice so that's nice.

RIP giroux, you died a noble death.
I honestly can't wait until the next college semester starts. Not so much due to anticipation for any particular courses (I mean I'll be taking some I like but the jury is still out on the professors) as just being able to be busy again. As much as I enjoy complaining about being overloaded with work and activities during the semester I vastly prefer it to all of the idle time I have during summer.

^Was it a really a joke or just a brain fart?
We may never know.

I've been burning through anime at an absurd pace lately....
I've recently finished:
-Another: It's a decent horror anime but nothing amazing. The buildup was really well done but once
people started dying in improbable ways it started to lose a lot of the atmosphere in my opinion.
-Bakemonogatari: Home to the best ahoge in all of anime.
Also it's refreshing to see an anime have a love story that isn't agonized over (and doesn't get in the way of the rest of the plot), and to see two characters start dating early on with no complications
-Valvrave: Vampiric highschoolers pilot mechas in space to save their school which is now a country. It's insane, but fun.
-Durarara: This show was too much fun.
-Cowboy Bebop (well, I picked it back up after procrastinating the last 5 episodes for a while)
I'm also starting Serial Experiments Lain and it seems really promising. The first few episodes were hard to get through but now I'm really curious as to what's going on.
So, what anime do you guys think you'll be following next season? I'm guessing Free! is a guaranteed yes, right?

I stabbed myself in the hand with a scraper a few days ago while scraping paint off my porch.
I was bleeding a lot, so I went inside to wrap it up. I then decided to clean up the blood before I dealt with it because I'd bled all over the floor, however this backfired when my mom walked in on me covered in blood and surrounded with blood stains and bloody paper towels.
A combination of blood loss, shock, and her screaming in my ear caused me to briefly pass out. It was a pretty embarassing sequence of events, honestly.
Oh and the day before that a bird crapped on me, but it hit one lens of my glasses without hitting my hair, face, or clothes at all. So I'm not sure whether to call that lucky or unlucky.

Suisei is rapidly transitioning from SoL to existential horror, so it's good if you like that and are patient.
I've recently (well, in the past several months) completed:
-The Higurashi series
-The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya and The Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya
-Code Geass
And holy double Atche Eee double hockeysticks the Haruhi Suzumiya movie was beautiful.

I finally stopped procrastinating posting here.I honestly don't know why I was putting off visiting OT, though.
In other news my laptop somehow uninstalled League of Legends on its own accord. Apparently it running out of batteries and shutting off in the middle of a match I was playing with friends triggered some incredibly destructive glitch, although it certainly led to an interesting Skype conversation when I said I'd rejoin the game in 6 hours.

^And remember that counselors generally choose their job because they want to try to help people and be there for people. They're not going to look at what you wrote and judge you based on how much you wrote or what you said, they're just going to be grateful you told them and want to help.

This season of Railgun is turning out amazing. I mean I already know exactly how it ends and I'm still finishing each episode completely hyped for the next.

Well, the trick to that is to try not to have terrible points. Why would you want people to listen to you if you had nothing to say?

^However a smart dressing person does far better in first impressions than a sloppily dressed one, and if you do poorly in the first impression people often won't bother to hand around for a second.
In the same way, making sure your posts are easy to read is a way of maximizing the chances that people will actually read them.

You have no idea how bad it looks on you when you purport to have a degree in English/Writing but still use should of.
You should say "should've", right?
OT: If I don't have any time limit for typing something (aka a forum or a chat) I try to use my best grammar and spelling. Now, if it's a FPS or something I'm going to want to tell you that a man is about to knife you to death a quickly as possible and thus grammar, capitalization, and accurate keystrokes go out the window.

Finishing up my 5 day long studying spree for my Art History final.
I'd just like to say that making your final a short answer test with 50 potential works of art on it (10 of which will actually be on it, and we'll need to know the title, artist, art movement, date, and place of each along with enough knowledge of what it meant/ BS skills to write a paragraph about why it was important) for a Freshman level course than the majority of students take to get their art credits before moving on with their major and never looking back is incredibly cruel and unnecessary. I've been studying for an average of 5 hours a day for just this exam and I'm just barely going to have everything memorized in time.
...Thank god it's freshman year and my other finals were jokes.

^Funfact: If you mixed your Nichijou clips appropriately you could easily fool a person into believing it was the most hardcore anime in all existence.
...And now I'm sad again because I just realized we'll never get more Nichijou....

I like shingeki no kyojin, reminds me gantz. Suisei no gargantia is oookay, but really slice of life-y so far. Is it even a shounen?
I'm expecting everything to go to hell somehow, just because the Urobutcher was part of the project and I don't ever recall him being involved in a happy piece. He might surprise us, though.
I've almost finished Code Geass R2, and boy are these last few episodes full of twists.

Earlier today was wrestling with the dog as I do a few times each day. To stop, all I do is rub her chest and say, "OK, all done". Well, I did that and she went in to the kitchen to get a drink. I took off my shirt and tossed it at her as I went to wash the slober off my arms and face. I come out of the washroom and the cheeky shit is pissing on my shirt.
Well played.
I missed the dog part and thought you were talking about a human for a bit there. It made for a good read.

Just toss your Pokeballs at her for long enough and the Krabbys will all disappear.
I like how you guys assumed I'm well-behaved and mature enough to only have one warning point. I've got 5 for reasons including:
-Counter-trolling boyzloveme (absolutely worth it) ...actually it may have been someone with "cat" in their name but they were definitely a troll either way
-Making my avatar, name, and signature Jesus-themed and making posts pretending to be Jesus for reasons I can't actually remember (it seemed like a good idea at the time)
-Flaming back when I was young and stupid(er)
-And a few general warning posts for not quite towing the line
And anyone who's REALLY curious about what I mentioned earlier can message me about it, but it's a bit of a TMI so don't say I didn't warn you.

The same ones. I guess it's mainly a matter of taste- the heavy use of onomatopoeia and caps lock tends to bug me.
