Valvrave is still the best show this season.

I was expecting Valvrave to be a worse Aquarion Evol, one robot, many forms. Instead its gonna be a super robot sentai show. I am ok with this.

I definitely get where you're coming from, and I agree. Out of the entire staff, the bulk of the editorial staff all have a "I give no shits about games outside my personal comfort zone" attitude that is clearly visible. While they are able to draw people in despite that rather toxic attitude due to the sheer magnetism of their personalities, it's been increasingly hard to ignore when placed along side Patrick's, shall we say, far more adventurous spirit.

20% off with voucher code GMG20-GGN5D-FC3NA

You mean $4!

*edit* Also if you jumped on a buddy trial (The 21 day trial) you are not eligible for activation via starter pack. You will have to pay the $15 + $5 activation fee. It's shitty, I know!

*edit II* Actually I need further verification on this. I read somewhere, in an official capacity, that starter packs cannot be used on 21-day trial accounts, but now I'm reading that it just makes the recruiter ineligible for the PLEX reward. If anyone has an answer for this, let me know!

Not true. I used one with my 21-day trial.

@hailinel:

I actually looked it up, and it turns out yea, it sort of is part of a larger series. Not having played this or Riviera, I'm not sure if the connections mean anything.

On the PSP version, getting the "True Ending" causes the final boss of Riviera to make a cameo, and implies that Yggdra Union is a prequel to the latter.

I demand a recount.

I rule that Fire Emblem is the better game, despite never having played Yggdra Union. (Also, isn't it part of a larger series, or am I thinking of something else?)

Not that I know of. Yggdra Union did receive a PSP remake, though.

There is a DS spin off game. Never came out in the west though iirc.

Having played and beaten both, Fire Emblem wins. Only one of these two games have stages with obnoxious invincible enemies that were Not Fun (TM).

If I want to get into Ghost in the Shell where should I start? Should I start with the original movies or with the Stand Alone Complex? or does it even matter?

Context: relatively new to anime, I watched all of berserk few months a go and have caught up with the magna and enjoyed it a lot, watched Fullmetal Alchemist and Brotherhood recently which was awesome, now watching Black Lagoon. Would appreciate any other suggestion based on what I have watched.

Go with Stand Alone Complex. While the original movie still holds up fairly well, the high minded philosophical debate can overwhelm those simply looking for a cyberpunk action flick.

@turambar: Sounds pretty awesome actually...

It was, until I found out what it was. Kind of like my first time having frog legs, but frogs aren't bugs.
