A good counter example to this is ADR. His moveset is almost definitively about working the arms and hes a better wrestler to watch for it.

Gotta be diverse to throw your opponent off. Getting too predictable is a recipe for being countered. I just think of the other submission specialists like Bret and Flair and Benoit and all of their movesets did a lot more to wear down the opponent, including "lesser" submissions and more focused attack. Bryan kicks dudes in the shins and in the head. It doesnt feel like it sets up the LeBell Lock really, which hampers the psychology with his matches. Why not just go for the LeBell lock at every opportunity if youre not going to set it up really. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

I just watched the ep 1s of 5 shows to get caught up and here we go
Campione: This was alright. The personalities seem pretty vibrant and interesting for the three major characters already introduced, the magic fights look like they'll look cool and the way magic works combined with Ericas personality should be pretty fun. 6 or 7 /10 so far, but I can see it getting better too. Chitose Get You: Its only 3 minutes long and I laughed at the introduction but I didnt think the main joke was funny. I'll give it another chance because its so short though.5/10 Tari Tari: Ok so, I really liked this one. It was sweet, the art was good, and I like how despite having the same premise as K-ON it seems to be playing the premise more straight and has a coming of age feel to it ( i like coming of age stories sue me). The main 2 girls are promising and the plot with her brother looks promising. 9/10 Jinrui: This ones plot looks less promising but on the other hand the fairys are cute and the thing with the fairy company and the bread cracked me up. Definitely one to watch. 8/10 Uta Koi: The first two stories were good if disjointed. This wont be bad if they keep it under control but if it really goes 50 episodes I think the format and content are going to wear VERY thin by the end. 7/10 Yuru Yuri 2: It was funny. Didnt see the Akarin focus coming and it was by far the best part. 7/10. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

I wish dragon were less kicky and more like Dean Malenko to be honest.

I believe what killed Miz and Swagger's careers was creative going "nah, these guys ain't main eventers" and pushing them down the ladder. Winning MitB is only the kiss of death if creative MAKES it the kiss of death. If the guys like Ziggler, and he wins MitB, then he'll be fine. Plenty of guys have won MitB and had fine careers. It CEMENTED Miz as one of their top merch movers. Hes only out of the spotlight temporarily. Swaggers push came out of NOWHERE and then dissipated because it was undeserved. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

Can't say I agree with this, to be honest. Wing is good but not great. Episode 30-40 is BRUTAL to get through. Treize is a top tier character, but Zechs is a pretty forgettable Char Clone. There are definitely better AUs, most notable of which is Turn A (though opinion IS divided on it. I'll be the first to admit that while it is an amazing show, it's not a very good GUNDAM show. Watch it and you'll understand what I mean by that). 00 is pretty interesting as well since it has a very distinct post-9/11 feel to it. And honestly, I've been enjoying AGE a lot. Really, the only AU I can't recommend is Seed and Seed Destiny. For some reason its the most popular Gundam series in Japan, but man they're pretty bad. Its a modern take on Gundam. In a world where the majority of wars have a major guerilla component, WING has a more relevant structure than earlier gundams in terms of HOW its war is fought. And yeah AGE has been trending upwards on my Gundam list, currently just behind the original, F91, Unicorn, Zeta, and 0083. Just ahead of Wing. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

Well, Only the UC stuff needs to be watched in order.
Its arguable whether watching the side-stuff in order is necessary but for the sake of completeness here goes a complete chronological listing: All are TV series unless stated otherwise 0079- Mobile Suit Gundam (TV series or Movie Trilogy, both are good, but cover the same plot) -Side-stuff Mobile Suit Gundam 0080 War in the Pocket (OVA) Mobile Suit Gundam 08th MS Team (OVA)(has a side story one hour movie) Mobile Suite Gundam IGLOO and IGLOO2 (OVA)(skippable) Mobile Suite Gundam 0083 (OVA) (has a significantly less interesting compilation movie) -/end sidestuff Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam (TV Series, dont watch the movies) Mobile Suit Zeta Zeta Gundam Char's Counter-Attack Mobile Suit Unicorn Gundam (still airing, 1 hour OVAs) *gap* Mobile Suit F91 Gundam (Movie) (This has a sequel manga series if you like it a lot called Mobile Suit Crossbones Gundam) *gap* Mobile Suit Victory Gundam The other series, in roughly order of release: Mobile Suit Gundam Wing (with Endless Waltz OVAs and Movies which have a different plot with the same premise) Mobile Fighter G Gundam After War Gundam X Mobile Suit Gundam 00 (2 seasons) Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Mobile Suit Gundam SEED Destiny Turn A Gundam Mobile Suit Gundam AGE (currently airing) I may have missed one or two and I didnt include the SD stuff, but thats roughly it. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

I still feel christian is the mega-obvious winner of the SD MitB. Cody doesnt NEED the briefcase when hes been making such solid gains naturally and poking through too early could set him back big long-term.
Christian on the other hand, there is an interesting character dilemma this presents. Sheamus is the current Randy Orton. Can he really continue being a good guy when presented with his chance to get that title he once coveted so much is RIGHT THERE for the taking. I think its potentially the most interesting winner plot they can run for either match so far. Ziggler is interesting as a winner as well considering the recent trajectory of his push, where it feels like hes SO CLOSE and just needs that little something to push him over the top and this could be that thing. Cody on the other hand....eh. Im not feeling it as an extension of his current character. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

Don't forget that it's kayfabe though. It doesn't matter the card placement. Successful defenses against Styles, Hardy, Storm, Bully, RVD, Sting, and Anderson vs. successful defenses against Cena, Miz, Del Rio, Dolph, Jericho, Bryan, Henry, Kane, and an Elimination Chamber. That's an edge to Punk. I'm saying i take issue with the assertion that he was the most relevant in the last year. He was really relevant for a month and has been the like 3rd or so most relevant guy in his own company. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

Okay so I'm gonna back off my Aries prediction too. Except in 1997 when they went with Malenko #1 as an experiment, and in 2002 when RVD got #1 by demolishing the midcard when the WWE main event scene was in constant flux and no competition existed (literally it hit the perfect timeframe between the death of WCW and birth of TNA), no one has sniffed that close to #1 without at least holding the top title in their company. Here are my revised predictions for the Top Nine Wrestlers from American feds. History shows that there's always at least one Japanese guy (or Mexican in the case of Mistico) somewhere in the Top Ten (but no more than two!), so I'm leaving that spot open for people with more knowledge of that subject than me. #1: CM Punk Most days as a World Champ, most relevant wrestler of the last year, defended the title at Wrestlemania #2: Bobby Roode Longest World Title reign of the year, won BFG Series, Main Evented BFG #3: Sheamus Won World Title at Wrestlemania, won Royal Rumble, Can count losses on one hand #4: Daniel Bryan Won MitB Briefcase, Lengthy reign as Champion, poor first half of period #5: Austin Aries Longest X-Division Champion ever, status grew continuously throughout period, Can count losses on one hand #6: Kurt Angle Defended World Title in Main Event of Bound For Glory, 2 Tag Title wins, Lost feud with Storm #7: Mark Henry Dominated Randy Orton to win and retain Title, Hall of Pain became more than a marketing gimmick, Disappeared in Final Half #8: Davey Richards Longest title reign of any kind during the year, Carried company during corporate changeover, sparse amount of defenses for most of reign #9: John Cena 3 quick stints as World Champ during the period, Main Evented Wrestlemania (and most PPVs in which he appeared), More losses than usual for him in a year This looks ABOUT right, but I CANT take Punk over Roode. His reign just is too irrelevent to make it mean more than Roode's no matter WHAT the math is. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

The only reason I'm gonna let you guys win this vote without a fight is because Heat lasted 10 years and ECW didn't even make it to 4. I still disagree, but not so vehemently that I want to die on this hill. So then we have Raw SD Championship Wrestling Superstars (original) Heat NOW can we put ECW at #6, or am I gonna have to win a fight against Shotgun Saturday Night? Uhhhhh. I know this conversation is long over but what about the 1985-1992 version of Saturday Night's Main Event?

Tasogare Otome x Amnesia a.k.a Dusk Maiden of Amnesia
 The creme de la creme of the Girlfriend trio, mostly by way of its devotion to its own concept and because it wasnt centered around a drool fetish. I like to pretend the finale ended a few seconds before it did because i like that better. At its surface it has the most typical characters of the 3....well aside from Oyonogi who is amazing from the get-go. The background behind our ghost girl was pretty entertaining and interesting and...the decision of our protag to continue dating the ghost after that was...intriguing to say the least. Felt pretty satisfying though, which is more than I can say for Sankarea..... 7: Kore-wa Zombie Desu ka OF THE DEAD a.k.a Is it a Zombie? OF THE DEAD  Mo Zombies Mo Problems. This was again the best Zombie-themed of the season. Lots of fanservice, more magical girl shenanigans and of course more vampires than you can shake a stick at. It was funny, aesthetically pleasing and the action scenes were solid. That said it lacked a certain charm S1 had. 6: Jormungand a.k.a Jormungand  Her name is koko she is loco i say OH NO. Ok so that little ditty is literally the best part of the show. I really wanted to like this one because its so different from your ordinary fare but it was so segmented and episodic that it really felt like nothing happened. The 2 parter that ended the show was great, but it was a little too little too late to raise my opinion of this one too far. Koko was eccentric but by this point eccentric characters are common enough that she was eccentric in a cliched way. Yikes. 4: Sankarea a.k.a. WHY THE HELL DIDNT I DROP THIS  GOD this show was terrible. It does all of the things anime shouldnt do. Sudden and unprovoked tone shifts? check. Starts off looking interesting and fades to bland as time goes on? check Far superior girl not being the main girl? check. Literal pedophilia? Check. Left the anime hanging with 0 resolution as it is clear the manga is still ongoing? check Literal rape scenes and the odd insertion of fetishes at weird times? check. God maybe I should go back and lower this score more. The concept here was interesting and the first couple episodes always left me hoping this thing would rebound as it headed inexorably into a pit of anti-quality.I hope the fans of this series are given a pre-frontal lobotomy, because it will leave them with the same taste they already possess. -- The Kinda Real Deal MILLIONS OF POSTS, MILLIONS OF POSTS The Primetime Posting Hours Players MILLIONS OF POSTS |

EDWARDSDV ANIME REVIEWS:
THE CRAP I JUST FINISHED 10s: I gave out two tens so far this season, making it just a wonderful season in my eyes Sakamichi no Apollon a.k.a Kids on the Slope  This was just a beautiful work of fiction. It had great serious story, with great romance AND bromance and was just touching. It hit all of my josei sweet spots with the painful twisting romance moments and the ever-sweet coming of age stuff. The music scenes were incredibly well-done, easily justifying the decision to watch the anime over the manga original. It also managed to do a full adaptation in a single season the only flaw in my mind is that there was a lot of time and energy devoted to the Junichi sideplot and lets face it no one cared. Still, I find myself wanting to look up the manga and read this and I just finished watching it and I dont read manga. That's a sure sign of a ten if ever i saw one. Natsuiro Kiseki a.k.a The Summer-Colored Miracle  Now HOLD ON, yes this is literally a show starring 4 middle school girls who at some point go to a beach, a hot spring, and school. But let's set all of that aside. That's not what this show is about. It appears to have all the trappings of your typical Slice of Life show, but it is in reality a very well constructed coming of age show (with the final episode being a nearly perfect metaphor for that). The individual "miracles" were all very well done and almost without fail served to explore the relationships between the four girls and how this group of best friends, Saki, Natsumi, Rin, and Yuka, deals with one of them moving away after this, their final summer together. The group has this girlhood dream of becoming idols which got set on the backburner as they got older, but now suddenly, knowing they are out of time, make a real push for. It is a sweet story, with some of the most actualized characters a show like this has ever gotten and in the end I laughed, I cried, I wished for more. 9: Kimi to Boku 2 aka You and Me 2  The bros were back. And they were better than ever. There's not much to say here except that it was in every way a great continuation of the original and in many ways was a simple extension of the ongoing plotlines from that anime. The only reason I gave it a 9 instead of a 10 was the inordinate focus FREAKING MARY got. 8: Medaka Box  Man its a literal shounen. Straight from WSJ. And its nowhere near done and may in fact be better as a manga. I have begun reading it from where it left off. It is fun because Medaka is a good lead, a total inversion of the Mary Sue archetype. The ridiculous parodyesque fight scenes towards the end was incredible and I actually like the main 4 and the ridiculous Medaka fanservice. Tsuritama  I was hooked from the OP alone, and know the dance off by heart now. It had a few pretty slow episodes but it gave a pretty awesome finale and of course had the best 4way bromance this side of the first 3 episodes of You and Me. The fishing scenes with both instructive and ridiculous (ENOSHIMA BOWL) and of course the dark secret between DUCK Curry was much the same. Pretty satisfying best noitamina block weve had in around a year.

Also, Jakyl I seem to remember you being somewhat upset at the cutting of Joey Ryan. How do you feel now knowing it (and the entire gut check segment) is definitely a work? Do you like its reality era stylings?
