[quote name='phoenix529']1) What exactly are Shmups?
and
2) Should I watch the first 4 episodes of Bleach that have been sitting unwatched in my yard sale finds box?[/QUOTE]
Oops, I'm sorry I didn't field this question. If you start with Ikaruga you may get frustrated so much you'll never want to play another shmup again. It really is an amazing game if you put time and effort into it. Ikaruga is the thinking man's shmup. I've been rocking a lot of Megadrive shmups lately. After playing nearly every one on the system I'm kind of embarassed to say my favorite is still Battle Mania, (Trouble Shooter)
It's so easy but so fun. Another small luxury I'm giving myself for Christmas is having acustom reproduction cart of the english translated Battle Mania 2 rom. I can't wait to get it but can't pay for it yet until after lowball. S'only 27 buck but money is super tight right now.
About Bleach, I was really into it a few years back but haven't watched it or read it in ages. The only anime/manga I'm still into is the Berserk manga. (Hence where my username comes from, my favorite Berserk character.) I'm also trying to finish up Monster after about three years, another goodie. The Bleach anime really left a bad taste, especially the Bounto arc, it was dumb. Read the manga, if you ever want to cut a deal for the first 20-something volumes, I'd be willing to let them go, need shelf room.
[quote name='Vulgarism']Shit yeah! I've actually been trying to finish up making custom DVD art for each disc so I can present them proudly in my collection (although I did see a CAG is selling a legit copy of Lost Memories for like $35 shipped I believe..)[/QUOTE]
If you don't buy a legit copy of Lost Memories for 35 bucks, I'm buying another one. That's a great deal, don't pass it up! If you ever see the Art and Music of Silent Hill DVD for that cheap please LMK. It's one of the few important SH items I'm missing. Who's selling it?
