whenever I built up a backlog of airing anime I used to roll dice to see what I would watch next, but instead of rolling by the number of series I rolled by the number of episodes. that way, a series with more episodes built up in the backlog was more likely to be chosen at random! helped me get through the stuff I didn't want to watch as much without letting it overwhelm me.

It's kind of the other way around, since the poems are all from actual historical figures in the same place in the same period of time. <_<

Oh, I wasn't aware. That's cool!

somehow Uta Koi continues to impress. I like that they're focusing on the same general area of characters while spreading out slowly. At first I thought they were going to be doing random characters each week (like Sengoku Collection) but it's actually more like they're building up a canon around the characters they introduced first

upload it anyway. it can be, like, keyuri meets alan chang boy genius

ehhh. . . if anything maybe I'll just do another one. it's not like it was a great pic anyway!

also Statue should be fine to stay in Upper, since this means she will actually conceivably have a match against Lizard!

I actually wanted to make Giant Robot around Ideon sized (100m) but I had forgotten the exact size at the time I did the write-up. also that thing takes like 3 people minimum to pilot and even though Alan Chang is a genius I think if he had to pilot three control stations at once it wouldn't leave him any free time to actually work in the portable lab, so this level is probably for the better.

also I did a sketch of Keyuri not too long ago and I was going to upload it, except I ended up drawing chemistry notes all over it whoops

Yuruyuri ep 3 was pretty funny. the opening with the aliens cracked me up and all the stupid games they played at lunch. watching them have another valentines day despite I'm pretty sure still being in the same grade was something alright. the episode itself was consistently funny as the series has been so there's not much to say about it.

Uta Koi ep 3 was about as awesome as the first two eps. I love the tone and feel of this show. literally incest route. depressing/bad end. that guy seriously got screwed. what is it with historical tales and always having terrible/depressing endings? oh wait, it's because real life sucks most of the time. guess sometimes we forget that from watching too much wish fulfillment anime where everything turns out perfectly in the end lmao

Keyuri likes small terrains like the Isometric Arena or any indoors arena since she has a huge advantage fighting opponents when separated by multiple floors.

Alan Chang Boy Genius loves huge open areas and cities since the more room SUPER ROBOT has, the better for him. His favorite terrain is Genius City of course.

Roman probably likes any area that's big enough to field an army. Ironically the Isometric Arena is pretty much terrible for her.

Lizard favors mid-sized or larger arenas where there are objects to use for stealth and plenty of room for him to make use of his mach 2 flight speed. Cities and his own home Terrain the Harvard Magic School are ideal for this I'd think.

I see. I'm about 2 hours into it and it's pretty cool so far. I have played a bit of Ys I (a while back) and uhh. . . whichever one was for the SNES I played pretty extensively when I was younger. although since I'm not really one of those people who obsesses about having to play all the games in a series or in order it doesn't make a difference to me at all really.

Alright having watched SAO 2

why was this hyped

I mean it's not awful (I'd say like a 4/10 so far) but I dunno. It just feels so bland and has felt like a generic fantasy anime with MMO elements shoehorned in. Granted, they apparently covered an entire novel in this one episode but still. The pacing isn't really even the issue. There just doesn't seem to be anything at all to set it apart from any given shounen. It feels kinda soulless as well but that could be the adaptation.

CALLED IT

Lizard [Final]

Born as Cyluth de Prata, Lizard was a student at the esteemed Harvard Magical College earning his Master's Degree in Magical Physics when an unfortunate accident befell him. One week before he was supposed to graduate, a Witch who had a crush on him came to him with her confession. Cyluth turned her down. She promptly turned him into a lizard. Because Cyluth came from rather humble beginnings, in order to pay for his education he was forced to take a job as a Professor's Assistant and was always doing odd jobs on the side to help fund his lifestyle. Even though he always seemed to be busy with work, his practical experience in the various fields of magic that stemmed from these tasks made him a very successful student.

The complicated Hex that befell him does not seem to have any obvious cure, and as such Cyluth is stuck in the body of a lizard. He has since learned a spell to communicate with his peers and although he's not allowed to graduate he has remained on campus as a library assistant. The girl who hexed him has been expelled until such a time she can devise a cure for the condition she afflicted him with.

Lizard is a master in Magical Physics, understanding the workings of the universal forces referred to as "Magic" on a fundamental level far beyond that of most who even use Magic. He can understand and break down the processes behind any spell that he witnesses; Many magics that have 'simple' objectives can be mimicked after watching how they are done a single time. Most magic users only care about what a spell can do for them; Cyluth understands why a spell does what it does. As such, he is very adept at both learning spells and devising counterspells on the fly.

Spell Mimicry - Cyluth can normally copy any spell that he witnesses, as well as replicating the effects of magical artifacts if he has time to watch these effects triggered. Spells of destructive nature are the easiest to copy since they are essentially just the brute force of the magical world. Spells with extra conditions or complicated effects may be harder to copy. Cyluth can also use the ideas he gains from a spell he copies and come up with a 'better' version of the spell if needed.

Counterspell - In combat Cyluth loves to flaunt his intellect, and his preferred method of combat is to let foes launch spells at him. He devises and casts counterspells with astounding speed and reaction time - often being able to react to a spell, devise a counter spell, and fire it off after being targeted and before the spell hits him the first time he sees a spell. Cyluth is highly familiar with the laws of magic and can easily come up with new and inventive ways to counter his opponents attacks that are faster and/or more mana efficient.

Since he's a lizard, Cyluth is somewhat difficult to spot unless you're faily close or have great eyesight. He has incorporated an element of stealth into his combat style when needed. Generally, Cyluth views battles between other casters as a game. He will attempt to meet them in an open field and make an absolute joke out of them by flaunting his Harvard superiority and breaking down every spell they attempt to fire at him until they are totally worn down. If he senses someone has the power to seriously harm him, he'd do the same but while also pressing with offensive of his own; initiating a game of Magical Chess against his opponent where the first one to kill the opposing 'King' comes out the victor. However, if Cyluth feels his life is in danger he will incorporate elements of stealth and higher strategy into his combat style.

Lizard's favorite spell is Flight; which allows him to move around at Mach 2 speeds and fly through the air. He hates being forced to move around slowly on the battlefield and being restricted by his size. His favorite type of magic is transmutation. He's not so good with curses and hexes.

Harvard Magic Campus

It's basically Harvard meets Harry Potter except if Harry Potter was in college and more grounded in reality. Harvard Magic College was built in 1994 on the Harvard Campus to accommodate the higher education of witches, wizards, warlocks, summoners, and other magical researchers. The three main departments (Magical Physics, Magical Biology, and Occult) each have their own building, and there are two dorm buildings as well. The Magical Physics and Magical Biology buildings could easily be mistaken for a normal college campus, but the Occult building tends to deal with things that defy explanation and the students are often much more eccentric.

There are two main parking lots that each have a shuttle bus route which makes the rounds both to the main school campus and to each of the main buildings on the Magic Campus. Additionally, there are Broom Racks stationed outside of most of the buildings for any students who wish to fly to class.

Of the two dorms one is a coed dorm for general student population, while the other is exclusive to witches. The witches dorm is generally considered much more dangerous a place due to misfired hexes and random explosions from failed experiments.

If two characters were battling on campus, it would be considered an empty terrain. That is, all of the faculty, staff, and students would be cleared out before the fight starts so there's no outside interference.
