[QUOTE=Empty_Shadow;47196824]Went to minotaur (shitty nerd store in the city) because I had to kill an hour innacity today.
Found a renge nendo, was super psyched because they're sold out on amiami
Checked the price tag
99 dollars
I literally just walked out.[/QUOTE]
is this the part where you tell us that figmas were actually cheaper than they were online, and the owner of the store is actually trying to save everybody
Anything worth looking for at PAX East?
Never been to pax but I really want some LoGH models, or lupin/Space dandy stuff.
Still can't believe LoGH blu rays are 2k+
[QUOTE=Reds;47196829]is this the part where you tell us that figmas were actually cheaper than they were online, and the owner of the store is actually trying to save everybody[/QUOTE]
I wasn't expecting cheap but 99 dollars is pretty much a 300% markup of it's normal price.
EDIT: Also I checked out another store because they had TF2 merch, they had the official figures which were kinda cool. They also had a plastic sandvich
[sp]it was also 99 dollars[/sp]
seriously fuck melbourne i quit
If we're doing recommendations, I might as well ask. One of my favourite things is anything that makes regular use of stuff like surreal situations and impossible architecture, particularly when you've got stuff that's less of a magical setting and more of a fantastical one, particularly when mixed with something otherwise normal. Stuff that tends to show up in dream sequences.
oh yeah now i remember why i haven't asked for this before, i suck at phrasing it this is dgg levels of unclear bullshit
To use an example, I'm not talking about something like Kill la Kill or Haruhi, but closer to Nananananananana Katamari Damacy's Buried Treasure, was really close to what I wanted until it made the unnecessary swerve. Or stuff like the Trial part of Brave Story. There are better examples than Brave Story but for some reason I can't think of them. This might be a "you mean like x" "yes, like x" situation if there are better examples that I could name.
That was probably incredibly unclear and probably didn't narrow down what I wanted at all. I should probably just get around to watching Paprika instead.

would be nice if i remembered what you're MAL is
but from what i can remember:
dead leaves
dennou coil (abstract suggestion (on second thought this only slightly fits so maybe ignore it??))
patema inverted (movie)
xxxHolic (has quite a few scenes like that but it's not the main thing if i remember correctly)
kaiba
I wish I knew of more anime where the MC isn't a spineless dickless idiot, and actually could get himself laid once in a while.
But I think I have seen all 5 of those shows.

Dead Leaves, Kuuchuu Buranko (though not so much for impossible architecture), Kaiba
I am sure I've seen other stuff but I can't fucking remember what it is

I only read manga on a plane like a sensible person
Sure the costs are high but that flight to Mexico was needed to catch up on One Punch Man
[QUOTE=Taggart;47196997] Kuuchuu Buranko

+1ing this. Great show. Episode 10 of Kuuchuu is one of my favorite episodes in anything.

well have fun not having those things you want then ヽ(´ー｀)ﾉ
Jfish is a bird man. He used to fly everywhere, but his wings were destroyed in a horrible blender accident. He has never gotten over the urge to soar and spends every possible moment in an airplane.

I travel a lot for work, anime is just easier to do on a plane than manga.

Hopefully we will get another anime like CA soon, that will keep me entertained
The planes you're on must have some crazy turbulence if you can't read on them.
[QUOTE=Reds;47197180]The planes you're on must have some crazy turbulence if you can't read on them.[/QUOTE]
I can, hell I read the subs(most of the time). But I dunno something about anime is easier than manga, and more enjoyable. At least to me.
Watching Anime and Reading Manga are the SAME THING. Except one has moving pictures and the other doesn't. Also one usually has more story than the other.
[editline]23rd February 2015[/editline]
I started using Manga Rock for my tablet to read an wow it's good. I love it. I use to use MangaGalaxy but since he got his banned form Google Play he stopped updating it.
It's just so nice to have manga chapters auto-download when it's released.

Your post is unclear because half of it is telling people that you think you're unclear instead of leaving it up to them to decide.
It's not that your request is unclear, but rather niche/specific instead.
Kaiba and Dead Leaves as has been recommended definitely hits that spot.
Cat Soup
Kyousogiga (sorta)
Mind Game (mostly)
Aoi Bungaku Series (at least one of the arcs, the Hell Screen og Spider's Thread one, can't remember, also just sorta)
Gankutsuou
Genius Party & Genius Party Beyond (collection of shorts, some apply)
Jinrui wa Suitai Shimashita (mildly and sorta)
Mawaru Penguindrum, Yuri Kuma Arashi and Revolutionary Girl Utena all sort of fit this, don't they?
Revolutionary Girl Utena (the movie)
Serial Experiments Lain, internet
Evangelion 3.0 :v:
Tatami Galaxy fucks with the architecture of life itself, that has to count, right?
[del]Hen Zemi[/del], no wait, that's impossible people, not architecture.

Did commie run over your cat? This seems like a non-issue to me but since some of you are heated about this I'm just gonna bounce.
