I thought Soul Eater Not was an interesting spin on things and I liked that the original characters were in it. It was kind of funny to see what was essentially your typical slice-of-life anime except set in Soul Eater canon. XD Though I admit I haven't remained up-to-date on it.

Obviously it doesn't compare to the original Soul Eater, though. But I don't think it needs to.

Well I like it. I do have a short attention span though so it's hard for me to watch it because I have to read subtitles. I just don't like it because it throws out the gothic style that I enjoyed SO much.

Then this is not a problem with Soul Eater Not. This is a problem you have with subbed anime.

And speaking as someone with ADD (and also someone who will choose subs over dubs just about any day), I can tell you that reading subtitles is hardly tiresome and really doesn't require that much sustained focus once you get used to it.

Edit: I apologize if that sounded condescending in any way. I fully admit to being a "sub snob".

[Rithas]

Subs over Dubs, But that's just because I can read fast, also the voices are annoying

I like doing other stuff while watching it. Which is my biggest problem. I said I have a short attention span because I do. It's hard for me to focus on stuff. Which is why I save my math homework that we had over the weekend until last night when it's due today before class starts.

o.o I wasn't doubting that you had a short attention span...

I, um.

I'll stop talking about my ADD now.

Seems that rarely goes good places.

Forget I said anything.

Hopefully I'll be able to get a post for the other group up before the end of the day. (No promises, however. >.< )

I damn well hope that cat can drive.

[Neobullseye]

That cat is amazing. Not as amazing as the Great Fat One (AKA Rollo from Tales of Xillia 2) though, but amazing nonetheless.

On a sidenote, the Dalek Girl made me smile :P

I was hoping people would like MK. ^^

Good to know you're keeping up on the IC, too.

One of the most adorable scenes in the movie. <3 It's even better hearing her say "Exterminate!" in her cute little girl voice as she pokes people with the plunger.

[Kaga]

In fact, here, have some more of her! <3



I decided the entire gif set wouldn't work too well squeezed into my sig but ya know. <3

[Rithas]

I suppose because (here in the States at least) I only ever saw it advertised on BBC America as the 50th anniversary special was approaching, and it seems like most (American) Doctor Who fans I know don't even watch the show on BBC America except to catch new episodes as they air. If catching up or watching for the first time, they'll usually only watch it on Netflix or something similar. So for the 50th, I guess most people just tuned into BBC America to watch the special (and some people (myself included) didn't even do that, instead choosing to watch it in theaters, as some US cities had that privilege), and Day of the Doctor aired without commercials, so... unless you'd been watching the week-long Doctor Who marathon on BBCA leading up to the 50th, you probably wouldn't have seen any of the advertising for it.

Oh yeah, and then there's the whole fact that it aired on the day of the 50th anniversary in the first place, thus leaving it extremely overshadowed by that other thing that aired that day... I mean I see how this movie kind of only existed as part of the 50th anniversary celebration and it makes sense to show it on that day, but if there's already something else that's getting so much more attention and hype, it probably would've made more sense for them to air An Adventure in Space and Time, like, a week in advance or something... it would probably get more attention that way. Because, I didn't see An Adventure get any attention or hype. All fan chatter was focused on Day of the Doctor, exclusively.

And probably the saddest part is that, when advertised, it was built up as a sort of "one-night event". And I mean a lot of times TV networks say that sort of thing and don't actually mean it but, in this case, I know I haven't seen it on TV since then. :/ Couldn't (legally) watch it till it came out on DVD...

I mean, I say that, but it hasn't even been a full year since it came out. I'm really hoping that this turns into a sort of thing that they air every year on November 23rd. ...Sadly, it'll probably just be Day of the Doctor that fills this role, since it is currently the only anniversary special that the new show has. Still, given the fact that it holds such an important place in the show's overall continuity, I'm hoping they'll realize that it doesn't work so well as a yearly special to look forward to, and they'll decide that An Adventure is a lot more timely.

D: I feel you, man.

[Rithas]

I have the normal BBC (Well, the irish one but that's literally just the normal BBC)...So I have no idea how I didn't see that....but then again, I don't watch BBC that much aside from Top gear and Great British bake off (yummy cakes)...But, Whatever...I'll find it somewhere
