Haha, I actually thought he was some ordinary otaku that turned into a badass vigilante and merely copying some move from his video game. He jumped straight into the fray and took down the assailant with his own knife zero hesitation. I recall feeling that if something like that were to happen that is so me, no more MC that is surprised or freaking out when something outwordly happens, goes straight in and neutralizes anyone, be it a dragon or the guy riding it.
Of course finding out that he's a trained soldier soured that feeling very slightly, still, I loved it all.

Sure but you can't just copy that and use it in a life or death situation, it must be a part of you. I know the feeling of reacting to danger but that's rather extreme
Makes me wonder how I'd have reacted in that situation, a charging opponent out of nowhere can be unnerving. I was actually thinking about it when on guard duty, what would I do if someone sneaked behind me and ran at me with a knife? Not out of paranoia, people have actually died on guard duty even if a rare occurence. Due to some.. oversights (can you say hole on the fence and poorly lit surroundings?) someone could theoretically attack me from behind and have 10 meters to reach me. Not a lot of time to get your bearings and react - and definitely not with a weapon that is not loaded.

I love how one punch man makes fun of all those anime cliches.

Finished:
- 5 Centimeters per second (A short 1hourish movie about childhood love, sad.....).
- Anohana - I don't want to talk about it.
- Shingetsutan Tsukihime - god awful dub (not as bad as Shakugan no Shana which had a Mexican best girl VO, nothing against Latin people, but pisspoor performance) I watch most animes in sub anyway unless they have my favs in it. Overall it was alright, nothing spectacular, soundtrack was fantastic tho.
Devil Survivor 2: Same deal, nothing spectacular, ok story.
Owari no Seraph: Absolutely love it in both dub and sub (I friggin love Shinoa's dub jibes and VO, sub is almost as good, everything else is better in sub tho). Nicely done loved every ep <3. I mean seriously who can't wub her :
Nisekoi: Teheehe, idk I watched so many highschool fliks and they manage to have a unique take on it with similar themses, fair/festival etc. Still I liked it (kinda have a thing against harems tho).

Owari no Seraph, huh. Well what the heck, got nothing else better to watch anyway. TWGOK first season was decent but not quite. Nothing I'd really wanna watch again. Gonna leave the other seasons on the to-do list just in case I'm missing out on something interesting.
Feeling kinda spacey in regards to anime lately. It just appears like there's nothing worthwhile. Maybe I'm too hungry for quality similar to Shingeki no Kyojin or Stein's Gate. Good thing both of these get new seasons in 2016, so I guess I just gotta settle for One Punch Man for now. Man, what a drag...

Yeah I pigged out on the Shingeki no Kyojin manga, and holy crap, they still don't have enough for the second season yet, I'm so pumped so much happens it's unbelievable.
As for TWGOK, still waitin on S4, not got the time atm to read the manga, been too busy with reading SnK and Berserk, and next one is Akame ga Kill cause you can clearly see the point where they go off source material and you see a downward spiral in the anime.
My current to watch list is:
Sunday without God
Ergo Proxy
Kemeko Deluxe!
Kokoro Connect
Monster
Mondaiji-tachi ga Isekai kara Kuru Sou Desu yo?

Geeeeez, this Owari no Seraph is pretty mediocre stuff too. Managed to pull myself through the first 6 episodes but never once felt that "just one more episode" sensation. Maybe I've become way too picky for my own good.....
Edit: Okay, the all out war definitely improved something. I finished the first season and I gotta say the feel that I'm getting is that the plot itself is pretty good but its enacting is kinda weak. If I were to compare it with something, it would be FMA Brotherhood, but in the broader sense. There you have a military conflict surrounding a power struggle, sudden deaths and homunclus experiments. But FMA got some 64 episodes in which all that detailed action unfolded while this got 12. And you'd think they'd concentrate the essential instead of taking their time to go through all that cheesy school and initiation bullcrap. Truly a waste of screen time. Whatever, think I lost it a little along the way anyway, to compare this to FMA... Okay I'm done rambling.

Idk man, the music at the start of battle (like almost every combat engagement, like a drum beating once then shizz) gets me pumped, it has its downsides, but I just can't help lovin it cause of the Hiragi chick everything she does makes me warm and fuzzy. The MC is like a poof version of Eren Yaeger.
Currently watching "the melancholy of haruhi suzumiya", normally I watch like the first ep in dub to test it, I kept stopping after almost every character's intro cause I recognize their voices from somewhere, turns out a bunch of the voices are that the same as Fate/Zero <3. God I love Kirei (much less dull than in F/Z but that's his character in that anime so can't fault him for that ).

Nozoki Ana. Probably the best light hentai I've ever seen. If you like Kiss x Sis and other ecchi teasers like that then you should give this one a try, it's only 1 hour long.

O' my god....8 of the episodes are almost identical.... why...oh god why.... Steins gate did it perfectly, each of the repetitions were unique and drove the point home perfectly (ull know what it is) the MC remembered thus you could relate to his pain, when the MC can't remember and it's just a total repetition it stagnates everything, character development and the story.
Good ****ing god, I'd castrate the writer with a a rusty spoon if I ever get the chance, way to totally destroy my good mood.

I laughed my ass of after seeing "puri-puri Prisoner". The bleep the author is taking to come up with such things?

What has it been now, four years?! Read the entirety of the manga 3 times now.
Woah there've been a few chapter releases pretty tight as well, not read any since Rickert slapped Griff in 337.
