  1. I have both. The XBone I bought first. At the time I wanted to play GTAV online with 3 other friends. I also got the Halo collection for it to play them all. Great experience. Last year I got a PS4 mainly for the exclusives. Right now I'd say PS4 is best for it's superior exclusive titles already out and coming this year. Sony manages to hit my taste more often with what they release. Also, with Windows 10 the line between XBox and Windows games has become even blurrier. If a game comes out for Xbox and Windows 10 I play it on my PC rather than the console.

    Indeed, it is my favourite period. I wouldn't even pin it down the the turn of the millennium, but a few years earlier. Now and Then, Here and There, for instance, is a show that is very dear to me and is probably my top recommendation from that time, given that you can stomach it. Be warned, it's not pretty (although the expressiveness of its visuals are extraordinary).

     

    Another anime that stands out is Last Exile, a steampunk-inspired adventure story. It excels in a lot of ways: Its worldbuilding is convincing. Not revealing everything upfront, but showing you enough to avoid that "oh sooo mysterious"-pattern. The story is very engaging  and takes place in various types of sceneries, allowing the animators to show off a breadth of backgrounds and locations. It also features one of the most satisfying endings I've seen.

     

    Some more anime I'd mention are Haibane Renmei, a cryptic afterlife-drama by Yoshitoshi Abe, and Read or Die, specifically the TV series. While the premise, people bending paper to their will, seems zany, anyone who ever got a paper cut knows this is a serious power. Jokes aside, while the preceding OVA was indeed mostly an entertaining action flic, the series adopts a notably different tone with a fair mix of (bitter-)sweet and tragic elements. That time period was also when Makoto Shinkai made Voices of a Distant Star, one of my favourite short movies. It is not really representative of any of the other shows I've mentioned, or even of the era, but I found it to be very moving.

     

    I hope you'll find something among these that intrigues you.

     

    Nice write-up, man! I definitely look into your recommendations. Three new shows for me. Now and Then, Here and There i watched, great show. Haibane Renmei I have but not watched. The other three are new to me. Thanks for pointing them out.

    People complained about the text in my previous signature not having the right perspective (although it wasn't even my intention to match the perspective, but whatevs).

     

    I did not even notice that. I liked your previous one. And your current one.

    But I guess I did a fairly good job

     

    To my eye the loop is perfect and all else for that matter. I didn't go through the whole process of creating it, so I wouldn't notice any glitches.

    Well, the S is for Scyrous... don't know what else to say. I made it many years ago when I was messing around in After Effects.

     

    Oh and blue is my favorite color.

     

    Who makes your killer signatures? I guess you yourself.

    The real successor to GIF is APNG, which works pretty much the same way and is supported by just about every major browser.

     

    Thanks, I did not know APNG. 9_9

    Hi hi!

    Hope that there is no problem mentioning it here.

     

    Most of the time I was on AnimeA (when things were actually moving there). After that I guess that ... BakaBT? More on the upload part. And MAL more on the profile.

    (and not that active but I would say 90% of the 'big' manga scans groups + Mangaupdates, MangaTraders).

    BakaBT, that's where I've seen you. xD I hope we'll get more people on here to be active. I am under the impression people are lurking more often than actually participating.
