Exactly! The music stuck out to me the first time I heard it. The main theme’s reprise as well as the background music to many situations. I pictured seeing the good old Ascadian Isles region with its massive mushroom trees and the Kwama mines dotting the landscape; finding the city of Vivec for the first time. It hit home for me with its difficulty and less than friendly atmosphere as well, brought me back to when you had to get your face grinded to a wall before you got great at the game. I do see your point in the sharper features, as do I see the elegance. Dunmer are cursed which does explain the roughness; as well as Boethiah saying they are her people. I too, am an avid Dunmer fan. I do like your point about the females looking more beautiful, as one dark elf in the Thieve’s guild missions who is a Nightingale stuck out to me instantly as a beautiful character.
And yes, I no life-d it for about 2 weeks, and due to the level scaling i did all the normal missions, and then did the daedric missions in my next 4 days of leveling up to do so. This is without expansions of course, since when I got them finally I spent countless hours in the Shivering Isles in Oblivion

Oh, I know. I was just stating that the original was good, I started it. I probably won’t watch the Alternate World. Nevertheless, the original so far is actually really well done, I wouldnt think I would like the artstyle that it used (Tenchi in Tokyo’s) but it actually fit it rather well "For the curse of life is the curse of want.

For me(this isn’t a choice of the two games) I am a VERY avid fan of Morrowind in the Elder Scrolls franchise, and it shall remain my favorite above all the others. However, if it comes to a decision between Oblivion and Skyrim, it is very hard to pick out which of the two is superior. On one hand we have Oblivion. I beat it in about a week(save the expansions) and did almost every mission. It had a level-scaling from hell; causing things to be your level no matter what you do. In other words, you can beat everything at level 1 and effectively get all the rare artifacts that aren’t Daedric. The catch though, is that the gear itself is your level too. So if you level up after you’ve aquired said rare gear, it will be the lowest quality, protection, and enchantments.
The game did have a great graphics system though, and its expansion The Shivering Isles really made up for some of the original game problems.
Skyrim has a way of pulling you in with immersive combat, a bigger world, and a LOT more in terms of quest and radiant story. Also things aren’t level scaled which means if you walk into the wrong area at the wrong time, prepare for death. The graphics are a lot more textured but that turns out to be a curse as well as a blessing. The graphics were made so well for characters that they literally turned out super ugly. Dark elves are my favorite race, and they really butchered how they looked. The Main quest is a lot more… of a drag out fetch quest sequence in my opinion but then again it makes up for it with the extensive crafting system.
It is honestly a hard choice between the two for me. However Skyrim automatically wins my vote mainly because it got back to its Morrowind roots and need of skill, as well as its soundtrack.

I definitely will be watching Yamato and El Hazard. As for Black Blood Brothers I will see how it roles to see if I want to keep watching it. Gungrave I do want to see at least the good parts. And Who, I did like the review you did; the rage review ^^. It probably saved me watching a flat story that I wouldve looked past the ecchi to only find a lackluster gem of a story. As far as Vandread, I will watch through it as I can and let you know if it gets better, although as Nobuyuki said, it tends to muddle its point.
Another anime I have to add to the list is Ergo Proxy. I am in current watching of Black Lagoon however ^^

The funny thing is that I was a fan of Outlaw Star first, then I became a fan of Cowboy Bebop and then Trigun. I agree in what chuck said; that they are the perfect space western/non western style shows. Outlaw Star remains my favorite out of the three while Trigun is my second. Gene Starwind will forever be the my partner in crime
Also, I was a big Aisha fan in that show as well xD

Nobuyuki is a great character and a good laugh. I must admit though, I am a full out Team Ryoko person myself. She’s the character that got me back into the series itself last year. :Tenchismile: "For the curse of life is the curse of want. And so, you peer...

Placing an order myself soon ^^ but yes i agree, we should at least pitch in as well to support her. Ive heard of the Concept of Camelot and Vineand I definitely found it interesting. I also have heard positive reviews so not only is it written by a voice actress we’ve come to love but also it has great work and effort put into it. I will definitely be ordering it as I do need a new book, and also if you start a thread about it Who; you can bet I will post in it ^^
