01:02:03 [nathanbp]Mahouka still hasn't come out so I don't have to watch it yet >_>
01:02:16 [Cassian]Lol <_,
01:06:40 [nathanbp]I think fff must be using a showing that's later in the week...
01:15:26 [nathanbp]I clicked on a youtube link the ED for Sakurasou and it took me right back to my feelings on watching the anime >_>;
01:15:35 [Cassian]Opps
01:15:55 [nathanbp]Yen Press needs a survey so I can tell them what light novels to liscense

01:16:40 [nathanbp]oh hey, hummingbird has a new profile page (I think?)
01:16:52 [Cassian]Oh they do?
01:17:12 [nathanbp]http://hummingbird.me/users/thebp looks different than it used to?
01:17:14 [Sacchi]Hummingbird
01:17:33 [Cassian]Huh
01:18:26 [nathanbp]hummingbird, why can I rate things from my library page but not mark as favorites? >_>
01:26:15 [Cassian]That makes too sense
01:27:02 [nathanbp]hmm apparently I can only have 6 favorites show up on the profile page...
01:27:23 [Pipian-Work]-!- Pipian-Work has left #Cochineal [Quit: Quit: Pipian-Work]
01:29:13 [nathanbp]also apparently the order editing thingy doesn't work very well...
01:29:25 [Cassian]Figures
01:29:50 [nathanbp]or maybe it doesn't work at all?
01:30:37 [nathanbp]also there's apparently no way to unfavorite things?
01:30:44 [Cassian]Wow....
01:31:22 [nathanbp]I guess I'm stuck >_>
01:32:22 [Cassian]God damn it I wish I could mark this series as complete but Hummingbird doesn't have the final episode count
01:33:35 [nathanbp]you can just mark it as complete anyways I think?
01:34:10 [Cassian]Oh you can, good
01:34:20 [nathanbp]You could also go post on their forum topic for database fixes >_>
01:34:23 [nathanbp]but that's effort >_>
01:34:29 [Cassian]Yeah....
01:34:51 [nathanbp]I did for a series they were missing
01:35:01 [nathanbp](Onee-chan ga kita OVA) >_>;;
01:35:05 [Cassian]<_<
01:35:14 [nathanbp]byrnhildr time
02:00:26 [nathanbp]I guess I'm too used to American censorship rules, but I'm surprised at how much violence they censored >_>
02:00:35 [Cassian]Lol
02:00:46 [Cassian]Censorship fog
02:01:35 [nathanbp]also censorship shadows, and censorship lens flare
02:01:54 [Cassian]Oh god, that was the show with the censorship lens flare?
02:02:35 [nathanbp]this was the only ep so far with a lot of censorship
02:02:42 [Cassian]Huh
02:03:05 [nathanbp]it had a lens flare covering someone's whole body melting away >_<
02:03:13 [Cassian]Wow, what
02:04:17 [nathanbp]when a witch's harness is removed she dies by her whole body liquefying
02:04:25 [Cassian]Wow
02:05:01 [nathanbp]which actually I can't say I'm too upset with them censoring >_>
02:05:15 [Cassian]Lol
02:06:41 [nathanbp]they also censored a knife sticking out of someone's chest and a bunch of fanservice >_>
02:06:49 [Cassian]Oh
02:09:50 [nathanbp]oh, hmm, the manga is by the same author as Elfen Lied, this does not surprise me that much...

02:35:33 [nathanbp]My library has New Watch in their system but has no copies still so I can't place a hold :(
02:35:39 [Cassian]Nooooo
02:37:02 [nathanbp]oh boy I should go through and mark every Redwall book as read on goodreads >_>
02:37:35 [Cassian]I never read any of those <_<;
02:43:56 [nathanbp]I thought they were great when I was like 12 >_>
02:44:06 [Cassian]Lol
02:45:41 [nathanbp]along the same lines I should rate every star wars book published up to at least 2004 >_>
02:45:53 [Cassian]Hahahaha
02:46:15 [Cassian]My friend has been sharing some of the EU stuff with me lately, wow that sure is a thing
02:46:49 [nathanbp]some of the EU novels are pretty good
02:46:54 [nathanbp]some of them are very special...
02:47:36 [Cassian]I think there was one with Han Solo and an otter...
02:47:53 [nathanbp]Quite possibly...
02:48:24 [nathanbp]There's a great entry on TV Tropes somewhere showing how different EU authors backstabbed each other with small mentions in books
02:48:40 [nathanbp]Mostly in relation to Luke's love interest
02:49:53 [Cassian]LOL REALLY?
02:57:25 [nathanbp]http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/FixFic search for Timothy Zahn if you're curious
02:57:31 [Sacchi]Main/Fix Fic - Television Tropes & Idioms
02:58:01 [nathanbp]err, second instance of Timothy Zahn (the first is about fan fic not "canon" EU)
02:58:24 [Cassian]Wow
02:58:45 [nathanbp]see also: http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/DependingOnTheWriter (search for star wars)
02:58:48 [Sacchi]Main/Depending on the Writer - Television Tropes & Idioms
03:00:03 [Cassian]Jesus @_@
03:00:47 [nathanbp]Having read almost all of those books, it's pretty amazing
03:01:01 [Cassian]I bet
03:01:26 [nathanbp]Stackpole's I, Jedi retcons/fixes for the AMAZINGLY terrible Jedi Academy Trilogy were amazing...
03:03:27 [nathanbp]now I want to reread a bunch of EU books >_>;;
03:56:19 [Cassian]Nathan no
03:57:36 [nathanbp]They're almost all at my parents' house so I can't anyways
03:57:42 [nathanbp]I hope you didn't spend the last hour lost on tv tropes? >_>
03:57:49 [Cassian]No
03:58:21 [Cassian]There are some things I'm better off not knowing
03:59:01 [nathanbp]Yep all I have here are the 5 Zahn books, and I can probably recite them from memory so I don't really need to read them again >_>
03:59:15 [Cassian]<_<
04:18:33 [nathanbp]The Zahn books are actually pretty good
04:19:21 [Cassian]I don't know anything about Star Wars aside from the first prequel movie
04:31:09 [nathanbp]I'm not sure I can really recommend much (although you should probably see the original 3 movies :P )
04:34:06 [nathanbp]time for sleep
04:50:09 [nathanbp]ugh my library book smells like cigarette smoke :(
04:50:18 [Cassian]:(
04:50:21 [Cassian]Good night

22:19:41 [nathanbp|surface]art books
22:19:47 [nathanbp|surface]my greatest weekness
22:19:57 [Cassian]RIP Nathan's wallet
22:20:11 [nathanbp|surface]really $250 wtf?!
22:20:31 [Cassian]http://www.rightstuf.com/rssite/action/store/item/Item?ItemName=813633013831
22:20:31 [Sacchi]Cardcaptor Sakura Blu-ray Complete Series (Hyb) Premium Edition
22:20:39 [nathanbp|surface]I was just going to look for that
22:20:48 [nathanbp|surface]oh hey only $179
22:20:48 [Cassian]It is 70 episodes long...
22:20:59 [nathanbp|surface]I just ordered stuff from right stuf too...
22:21:05 [Cassian]Lol
22:21:36 [nathanbp|surface]I guess soon I'll have two copies of the CCS anime to go along with my two copies of the CCS manga...
22:21:42 [Cassian]Lololol
22:22:19 [Cassian]I think I'm good with just the manga
22:22:32 [Cassian]Even though the show is great too
22:23:14 [nathanbp|surface]but art book? >_>
22:23:28 [Cassian]I don't have that weakness <_<
22:23:41 [Cassian]Plus car insurance payment coming up -_-
22:23:50 [nathanbp|surface]probably for the better that you don't >_>
22:23:56 [Cassian]Yeah
22:24:21 [Cassian]I'm still missing the last set I really want from them so I'd rather save for that before the LE goes OOP
22:24:47 [nathanbp|surface]which last set?
22:25:01 [Cassian]Natsume Season 4
22:25:10 [nathanbp|surface]ah
22:25:15 [nathanbp|surface]what's in the LE?
22:25:39 [Cassian]Artbook with an interview with one of the staff I think
22:25:49 [Cassian]And its my favorite of the four seasons <_<;
22:26:46 [nathanbp|surface]ah, cool
22:27:10 [nathanbp|surface]I've just been reading the manga for that, I should probably watch the anime at some point...
22:27:27 [Cassian]It's pretty good
22:29:36 [Cassian]It only goes up to volume 12 though and the stories aren't in the same order as the manga
22:30:24 [nathanbp|surface]I probably don't remember the stories in the manga super well at this point anyways
22:30:56 [nathanbp|surface]hmm I wonder if there's anything else I should order from right stuf while I'm killing my wallet
22:31:04 [Cassian]LOL
22:32:27 [nathanbp|surface]lol, Emily points out that's it's cheaper than $1000 for the Japanese Blurays
22:32:42 [Cassian]It is, lololol
22:33:01 [nathanbp|surface]so buying them is really like saving $800
22:33:03 [nathanbp|surface]>_>;;;;;;
22:33:20 [Cassian]Considering they charge about $52 after RS discount for 13 episodes also...
22:33:29 [Cassian]For NISA I mean
22:34:10 [nathanbp|surface]They do include artbooks with almost everything though?
22:34:21 [Cassian]Yeah
22:34:34 [Cassian]Even the Toaru movie has one
22:34:50 [Cassian]But it also has interviews with the staff in it too
22:35:19 [nathanbp|surface]that's pretty neat too
22:35:44 [nathanbp|surface]* nathanbp|surface looks at SAO Blurays
22:35:50 [nathanbp|surface]still no >_>;
22:35:50 [Cassian]No nathan
22:36:10 [Cassian]They're just gonna have to release another version with Extra Edition later on anyway
22:36:28 [nathanbp|surface]They added a "limited edition card" to 2, 3, and 4 to try to get more people to buy them?
22:36:42 [Cassian]I'm pretty sure they always had those
22:36:59 [Cassian]Most of the AoA sets come with free postcards
22:37:15 [Cassian]Or do you mean the Weiss Schwarz cards?
22:37:35 [nathanbp|surface]I dunno, the right stuf entry just says "+card"
22:37:43 [nathanbp|surface]which is besides the postcards
22:38:28 [Cassian]I guess those are the Weiss Scwarz cards
22:39:02 [Cassian]Not like many people care about those...
22:39:52 [nathanbp|surface]this is the first I'd heard of them >_>
22:40:02 [Cassian]Lol
22:40:29 [Cassian]They're a rare breed along with Cardfight Vanguard cosplayers
22:41:30 [nathanbp|surface]but Ed's tumblr told me there are tons of Cardfight Vanguard cosplayers >_>
22:45:19 [nathanbp|surface]I should probably also get a PS3 so I can actually watch blurays >_>;
22:46:12 [Cassian]Lol
22:46:26 [Cassian]Most of the Vanguard cosplayers are West Coast people
22:57:14 [nathanbp|surface]I'm sure I wouldn't recognize them even if they were at Otakon >_>
22:58:35 [Cassian]You probably wouldn't
22:58:58 [Cassian]Wixoss listed for two seasons...
22:59:33 [nathanbp|surface]really? how?! there's only 5 girls in OP
23:00:23 [nathanbp|surface]* nathanbp|surface places order for CCS on his phone
23:00:50 [nathanbp|surface]I feel like everything I order from right stuf is not eligible for any discounts...
23:01:25 [Cassian]That's generally the case....
23:02:10 [nathanbp|surface]doesn't make me very inclined to get a got anime membership >_>
23:02:45 [Cassian]It's only good if you constantly buy from their sales
23:03:17 [Cassian]Hey is Nagiasu (the last anime from that screenwriter) padded out to 26 I guess Wixoss can too <_<;
23:04:00 [nathanbp|surface]oh no now right stuf is going to e-mail once a month for 3 months telling me that they still haven't shipping my order that's not out yet
23:05:26 [nathanbp|surface]I don't think I even managed two episodes of Nagiasu...
23:27:16 [Cassian]Oh god, I hate those e-mails
23:27:27 [Cassian]I'm glad I can't buy anything right now
23:30:02 [nathanbp|surface]you wouldn't think it'd be hard to check that the item they're e-mailing about is a preorder >_>
23:30:12 [Cassian]So is Chaika (what you saw of it) was trying to be like Scrapped Princess
23:31:05 [nathanbp|surface]I could see that
23:31:37 [nathanbp|surface]I think I alt-f4ed the first episode before they explained the plot
23:31:50 [Cassian]LOL
23:32:01 [Cassian]I don't blame you. It seems really stupid
23:32:14 [nathanbp|surface]or actually they probably weren't going to explain anything until the second episode anyways
23:32:20 [Cassian]Yeah.....
23:32:52 [nathanbp|surface]It did seem likely to be fairly stupid
23:33:14 [nathanbp|surface]my main reason for dropping it was the main female character's super broken Japanese though
23:33:20 [nathanbp|surface]not sure why but it really annoyed me
23:33:24 [Cassian]Oh god, one of those
23:34:22 [nathanbp|surface]her sentences were all like "verb noun" with no particles
23:34:36 [Cassian]Uuuuggggggghhhhhh
23:42:05 [Cassian]I forgot the new Dresden book wasn't out yet...
23:42:37 [nathanbp|surface]ugh I'm not really looking forward to that >_>
23:42:46 [Cassian]Me neither
23:43:16 [nathanbp|surface]Do you think he has an actual ending in mind for the series or is it just going to go on forever? >_>
23:43:32 [Cassian]I don't know at this point
23:51:18 [nathanbp|surface]I should probably pick up my book at the library on the way home from work...
23:52:17 [nathanbp|surface]I got Ancillary Justice which is apparently on the shortlist for every award this year
23:53:08 [Cassian]Ah
23:53:21 [Cassian]I was gonna go today but its raining too hard
