General Anime

Any good anime recommendations? So yeah. Looking for some anime recommendations again since I have like nothing to do over the summer until I go travel :/ I'm mainly looking for good drama titles a la 5 centimeters per second or even Shigofumi; science fiction titles such as Legend of the Galactic Heroes or Macross also works. Outside of those two, I suppose a good fantasy title would be neat, too (Guin Saga or Slayers or Legend of the Legendary Heroes-esque). Don't recommend any of what's current airing, either, I'm already watching most of it. [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/FanOfKOTOKO&show=0&order=4]Other than that, I suppose titles similar to the top 20~30-ish of the completed titles is good, too[/url]

Some anime recommendations? So I'm kind of looking for anime to watch here and there, got any recommendations? Genre-wise, I prefer drama titles as well as space opera mech(mostly real-robot, but certain super robot titles such as GGG is also welcome) and fantasy-adventure a la Slayers. [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/FanOfKOTOKO&show=0&order=4]MAL list for reference[/url] I'm watching a good amount of what's airing on TV currently, and I'm not really looking around to rewatching anything I've already watched or potentially dropped, either. I understand that my specifications might be slightly restrictive, but have you guys got anything neat to share? (:

Just a little help with deckbuilding And before anyone asks, I suppose I'll take advantage of the preview line and say this is about MTG. Lands (21): 2x Isolated Chapel 3x Plains 16x Swamp Creatures (21): 3x Tormented Soul 2x Child of Night 2x Bloodrage Vampire 4x Porcelain Legionaire 4x Vampire Outcasts 4x Bloodline Keeper 1x Grave Titan 1x Sheoldred Spells (18): 4x Dismember 2x Go for the Throat 2x Doom Blade 3x Consume Spirit 3x Diabolic Tutor 2x Stave Off 2x Safe Passage Total: 60 So I guess the main problem for me is should I replace Porcelain Legionnaire with something like Markov Patrician (or maybe another 3 drop?)? Or even more, replace the extra white with extra Doom Blades and two Sengir Vampires to make it monoblack?

Some anime recommendations So I'm kind of looking for some anime titles to watch. Right now, I'm watching most of what the current season has to offer, so I don't think there's a need to recommend me anything that's still on-going. [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/FanOfKOTOKO&show=0&order=4]Here's my MAL,[/url] recommendations similar to what the top 20/30-ish completed titles are would be great :) [b]EDIT2[/b] [b][i]Just to clarify, I'm not looking for series to re-watch or to finish the ones I dropped for whatever reason, but for (already completed; though if it's a series with only like 2~3 seasons out of 4 or something is available, that's fine, too) titles I've not yet watched that are similar to the top titles on my list.

To AMD, or not to AMD; that is the question. I would take the time to do a full emulation of the soliloquy but I'm at work so I'll just cut to the chase. I'm planning to build a rig [i]very[/i] soon. And as such, I'm a tad torn between getting the i7 2600/k or the FX8110 for the CPU. I'm also a tad torn between the HD6950/70 and the GTX570 (though I feel like I'm leaning heavily towards NVidia atm because of CUDA) So all-in-all, do you guys think it (realistically) be better to just wait for Bulldozer or should I just get an i7 now for a rig? Purpose for this rig would be for media(mostly video) creation as well as gaming on the side (pre-ordering BF3 once it's available on Steam :D). K, back to waiting tables.
