    So what is considered better? I've heard of Jiro for years. Way before the docu was made. Anthony Bourdain used to talk about that place all the time. I know of another place that's right next to the huge fish market in Tokyo. Supposed to be the freshest Sushi you can ever eat. The only...

    I really wanted to hit up Jiro this time, but I think I'm going to have to pass on it yet again due to the price. I should be able to swing it my next trip.

    Summer 2014 Anime Thread

    There's a new annoying girl in SAO II. She acts a lot like Kirito's sister, but she's just a needy chick that killed some dude when she was younger. We'll see if she develops further.

    Kingdom Hearts III

    Here's yet another trailer for Kingdom Hearts 2.5 HD. This shows a lot of the changes over the previous KH2 game that was available in the US. It finally comes out on December 2nd. I can't wait.

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    I just saw this. No idea how true it is (the guy is speculating based off rumors), but it's more info than I've heard previously. Delays on Shonen Jump Manga Chapters | Daily Anime Art

    This can be yours for $1.5k. Ouch. I can't make out any yen prices on the picture you linked. I'm sure if it's one of those things where "if you have to ask, it's too much."

    Oh man, he was so fat at the beginning of the last season. It was almost like he was a different guy.

    Well, I'll be there in September. But we come home on the 19th, so that kills the Tokyo Game Show idea. Oh well. And yeah, I'm totally down for whatever that beef is. I've never had it before, but it looks interesting enough. Is it just like a steak or something else entirely?

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Hmm. I don't know how true that link is. Yes, there is something in place now, but it's been in place for a month now. I have heard that this week's issue of Jump has been delayed due to copyright issues. We'll see what happens.

    Recommend a dating site

    Bert Kreischer is an awesome comedian. He says he's not homophobic, but homochondriac. He's afraid that he's going to like it so much, that he'll swap teams. I only brought this up because I was listening to him on Joe Rogan Experience yesterday, and he had that conversation.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    All of my previous girlfriends have been that way. My wife, on the other hand, has never been. Oh, and let me elaborate on my previous post yet again. I'm not complaining that she hasn't initiated during her period. It was a shock that I even got surprise head. I'm just wondering how...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I'm not refusing to initiate myself. I just haven't in the last couple of days. She's on her period and typically becomes asexual during that time. I'm just letting her be.

    Summer 2014 Anime Thread

    If I'm not mistaken, aren't the Manga and Anime's for Sword Art Online the exact same stories? IE - the Anime is a page for page adaption of the Manga? If that's the case, then the Anime is being completely accurate. It's just that this season, the reference material (Manga) doesn't translate...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Final Fantasy VII for the PS1. Later released for the PC. If you're talking about the next chapter of Naruto, I guess it hasn't been translated yet.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    It was a basic burger. You could customize it with pretty much everything you could think of. I checked off a bunch of things just to throw shit at a wall and see what sticks. This burger was glorious. I wasn't able to finish it, but the flavor combination was so damn good. Everything was...

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    Guys, I know full well that Times Square is a shit hole. A friend of mine lives in Manhattan and suggested The Counter to me, as a good place for a burger. I was blown away. It was definitely more expensive than normal, but not unbelievably so. My burger was right around $12, which is pretty...

    Summer 2014 Anime Thread

    Tell me about it. I actually cared about the characters. SOA II (the new series) gets a little strange, but it's still entertaining. It just doesn't have the same momentum of the first series.

    Wii U

    Well, Tomadachi Collection was a Japanese game (only released in Japan) and it played fine on her US 3DS. While we're over there though, we'll stop by a game store to see if a used copy will play on her system. The worst we could do is try. If that fails, we'll just buy the US version and be...

    Khane, being that you're in NYC a lot, you HAVE to visit "The Counter" in Times Square. It's one of those build it yourself burger joints. I went there about a month ago and had the BEST hamburger I've ever tasted. Holy shit... I want to go back into the city again just for that burger, but...

    So we're leaving for Japan on Monday morning. I still don't know my exact schedule, except there's going to be a few days in Kyoto, a lot of days between Niigata and Yamagata, and a few days in Tokyo. As far as Tokyo goes, it's just going to be my wife's brother and I. He lives in the...

    Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

    There was another film that had ridiculously good 3D. Sanctum. It was from James Cameron as well, but it had to do with SCUBA diving. Well, cave diving. It's Horror/Thriller, but decent. Cameron made this right after Avatar and used the same 3D technology. This was a beautiful film. I...

    The Big Bad Console Thread - Sway your Station with an Xboner !

    I have Destiny Beta. Had Alpha also. Haven't played it a single time. I will definitely pass on owning it because I just don't care enough. I'm not saying it's a bad game.. it's probably great. I just haven't had a compelling reason to play it.

    Sin City: A Dame To Kill For

    The only reason I end up seeing this shit in 3D is because I want to watch the films in Imax, and that's the only format available on the "big big" screen.

    Marriage and the Power of Divorce

    I had an interesting discussion with my wife about a week ago, and I've noticed things getting better as a result. We don't have the best sexual relationship. It's easy for us to go a few weeks at a time between, and she has never once initiated. We've talked about this in the past, but she's...

    Finally got a chance to see this tonight. I thought it was a decent movie. Yes, it was a feel good film, but it was entertaining none the less. That food though... holy shit, I wanted to try everything. I remember when they were filming it and people were tweeting seeing the actual truck. I...

    [Manga] Naruto (warning: spoilers up to current chapter)

    Cloud having unlimited Omnislash against Sephiroth was fun. Or maybe it wasn't unlimited.. maybe it was just during the final fight where Sephiroth only has 1 hit left, you automatically are given Omnislash. I don't remember exactly.

    The underwear thread.

    Today is my birthday, and before going into work this morning, my wife handed me 3 new SAXX boxes. It's strange as you get older (33 now) how little things like underwear make you happy.

    Good Anime Movies

    Last Exile was awesome, but it's an Anime (26 episdooes?) as opposed to a Movie. I don't really know what would work for you. Maybe if you wanted to do some old shit, Robotech would be up your alley. They had a few movies and a few anime series as well.

    Suits

    I enjoyed it a lot. Only thing was how his face shook (in anger?) when he said Litt at the very very end. That's the only thing I didn't really like. The rest was good.
