Looking for something to keep me busy for a week.

I agree, try Code Geass, that wont let you go.

:D Bad Apple! I LOVE THAT VIDEO SO MUCH. Seriously. Best AMV concept ever. I love the way it's done. 

For those curious what I speak of, that avatar is from an AMV with very ... spaciously conscious but strange animation:

The music itself is pretty great too.

If anime isn't interesting EmotionalSloth, I suggest learning something. Anything really. Something you've always wanted to focus on and learn. For me, that'd be Japanese (for obvious reasons).

You could learning coding, optimizing computers (for whatever task), install a VM and start toying with other OS' (Linux based usually), and things like that. Just make a goal and shoot for it. 

What I did for a week once (along with work), was build an Ubuntu OS with tons of emulators on it, so that my nephew could play retro games while I did other things on my computer. Emulators aren't hardware intensive (the old ones anyway), and they don't need a good monitor (I have a CRT for him to use), so yeah. 

Options.

You are first person I met on the internet that recognized my avatar. :) Cheers!

Watch some anime.  Your week will be gone before you know it.

+1 

 

Which ones? The only ones I have tried are Death Note and Mushi-shi

Ok... Ive got a list ill bold my favourites and those you should definetely see:

 

Action:

Sword arts online -  classic MUST.

Accel World - same author as SAO

Gantz - Gore and fun

Shingeki no kyojin  (Attack on Titans) - EPIC.

Darker than black - Nice S1, it looses something in S2.

Guilty Crown-  Another MUST

Log Horizon - MMORPG excellent and ongoing.

Btooooom - nice.

Blue Exorcist - Another classic

Full Metal Alchemist - another must.

Mirai Nikki - quite good.

Deadman Wonderland - Gore, fun and entertaining. 

 

Random/love/funny/ecchi:

 

Fury Kury - too random. no comments are allowed.

Sakurasou no Pet na Kanojo - Cute

Love Hina - Can't describe it.... Giant robot turtles?

Tonari no seki-kun - Cute little short episodes of a kid playing during class =).

To love ru (+ darkness, continuation) - Best Ecchi avaliable.

Kazo no Kanojo X -Cute and naive =) one of my favourite mangas.

 

Serious- 

 

Steins gate  - One of my favourites.

Neon Genesis Evangelion - you either LOVE it or HATE it. i hate it.

Shin Sekai Yori - Lots of deep meaning in this series. 

 

I can only come up with those right now O.o. I mean, if you feel like it, you can watch the 600+ chapters of One piece, the 400 of inuyasha (very long and very good) and the ∞ (infinite) chapters of Pokemon.

Planning on trying StarCitizen (Highly recommended)? STAR-NR5P-CJFR is my referal link

So next week I don't have school and for the first time in a while I am not traveling during a vacation, and it seems like literally all of my friends are out of town. Becuase of this, I need a TV Show, a game, or really anything to keep me busy during this week with almost nothing to do. Suggestions?

Try Don't Starve on Steam. 

My n00Build http://pcpartpicker.com/user/NameOfNoInterest/saved/ 


Do you really expect me to know things? 


$25.67/$~2500 (Price changes hourly..) I'm 1/100th of the way there!

I'll be honest with you, I don't think much of Sword Art Online. I've heard it's second season was meh as it went the usual Shounen route while I stopped watching during the first season because I was bored with it. 

So, personally, I wouldn't call it a classic. Classics, to me, are things that defined quality anime when it wasn't defined. Examples are some of the ones I suggested. Like Trigun or Cowboy Bebop. Beautiful animation. Exceptional or deep (there are other descriptors that fit) stories (back stories included). Great music (where applicable). Like that. 

Disclaimer: I am very picky about anime.

I agree with FMA, but watch Brotherhood. It's a much higher quality remake that is more true to the real story. The old one makes up it's own story, which is far worse in comparison.

The thing about SAO is that it was extremely innovative in 2008 (although the anime eis from 2012) , first of a kind, and that makes it a masterpiece in my opinion ^^.

I agree there. Doing Matrix stuff in anime. 

I think AoT is similar in that regard (innovative/first of it's kind). But I am a story guy. Doesn't matter how cool the concepts are if there is little story to care about to back it. And from my understanding that all fell through (the quality decreased) as the series went on in the anime. 

I have a feeling stories like AoT and SAO are going to be coming out more as those two anime have gotten so popular. Anime where the good guys don't always win. Anime that lacks the "feel-good" nature that most anime have. 

Where massive quantities of people die (me not saying who dies prevents it from being a real spoiler).

Yeah, I just refer to it as it's English name. My bad. I forget most of the internet calls it by it's Japanese name.

I am leaving country for a whole month, no internet, a laptop that has a e-450 (CPU) that scored 400-500points in CPU Passmark.

To love is to risk not being loved in return. To hope is to risk pain. To try is to risk failure, but risk must be taken because the greatest hazard in life is to risk nothing.
