Don't get me wrong, I'm excited, but I have my doubts about the program I'm going to study; I just don't know if it's 'me', you know? And I was looking forward to a new environment and new people...although hopefully I'll have greater chances of studying abroad now that I'm a student of this particular university.

You said yourself you were excited and you might have a greater chance of studying abroad with this particularly prestigious University.
Might not be your ideal but somewhere down the line you must have applied for it and as far as plan B's go it sounds like a pretty nice one.

Please do not let the name of the page confuse you, it has nothing to do with sexual images or similar. It compares the American Anime to the original Japanese Anime, remarking on all the cuts, edits, changed dialogue and similar.
Okay, first off. I have nothing against making fun of something I love or criticizing it. I'm known for making fun of stuff I like, it's because I like it that I can make fun of it. But this review of Sailor Moon was downright mean and disgusting to watch. I absolutely nitpick at the problems he's listed and I will list them here, too, because it bothered me.
The girls are all 14 years old and sexualized. Would you guess that they are 14 years old?
Okay, for one, it isn't uncommon for a 14 year old to have breasts. They vary from size to size, but breasts are generally there when a girl reaches the age of 14, so nothing to be surprised there. For another, I have seen 12 year olds with breasts that count as B or almost C cups.
In the transformations, the girls are nude. Yes. So? The anime in general has scenes where the girls are nude. But this does not automatically sexualize them. It's a cultural difference. In Japan, showing somebody - regardless how young they may be - naked is not a way to sexualize them. Nudity in Japan, or Japanese Anime, symbolizes purity and innocence. If you look at paintings done in the 17th or 18th century or even earlier, you will see a ton of paintings that have young children or babies depicted nude, showing their tiny genitals or asses to the public or just a skimpy piece of clothing that barely covers anything. Are we supposed to see those kids as sexy? No! It's a way to show their innocence.
That Moon Pen she has that lets her "turn into anything she wants". Why doesn't she just transform into Godzilla?
This is a problem that the dub had. They changed the names of things that never had any real connection to their powers as Senshi. For example, Rei/Sailor Mars is a shinto priestess and uses Ofuda to get rid of evil spirits. She uses those frequently, yelling "Akuryo Taisan!" (Evil Spirits, Begone!) which is a power she has a priestess and not a Senshi. The Dub called it Mars Fireballs Charge although that had nothing to do with her powers as Mars and nothing to do with Fireballs, there are no Fireballs with that thing! The Pen in question that Usagi uses in the early episodes is called a Disguise Pen. As we can see from its name, it allows her to disguise herself in various forms. It has nothing to do with her powers as Sailor Moon. The pen allows her to disguise herself, but gives her no special powers. It's basically a make over.
Overall, I found the review to be disgusting! I would've much preferred it, had he made a comparison of the Japanese Anime and the American Anime. He admits himself, he sort of stopped watching Sailor Moon around Season 3, shortly after Haruk and Michiru were introduced as lesbian cousins, where as they were simply lesbians in the Japanese Anime. I wouldn't have minded if he had focused on only those seasons to compare.
It's such a disgusting review, it's just him being a dick about the show. I really hope he was just hamming it up for the sake of the review, because the idea that he was literally this dumb and mean towards the anime just boils my blood!
If he didn't feel like reviewing it and only did because other fans have asked him for years to do it, why didn't he just bring another video out, stating that he wasn't gonna review it? That would've been much better than this hate-fest!

As to the review - I don't know, are you familiar with the Nostalgia Critic, or have you only just discovered him? (Honest question.)
Because the Nostalgia Critic is sort of a douchy character, that's part of his role.
Also, Doug Walker himself is not that much into anime, so he's not an expert on the subject and shouldn't be mistaken for one.
It's basically a show featuring an easily pissed off guy who throws temper tantrums over forgettable little thiungs, sort of like the angry video game nerd, but with movies/occasionally TV content. So don't take it too seriously or personally.
He also got quite a bit nastier since his comeback because of negative fan responses, so yeah. Not the kind of guy you should expect a calm and reasonable review from.
I hope you feel better soon. Things like that shouldn't ruin anybody's day.

Well, there's a difference then.
I mean, I know Critic is not really the way Doug Walker is, the Critic is basically an exaggeration of things, but there's a difference between doing a decent, criticizing review of something you may not know or like very much and then being outright mean and an asshat about that.
And if Critic never wanted to review this thing, he shouldn't have done so!
Or at least admitted outright, he didn't watch the Anime very well, he didn't care very much.
I mean, I want to do video reviews and I know I won't be able to do reviews about things I don't care much about because... I just don't care very much about them. I know I wouldn't be able to give a very good review on it.
I don't want to sound like Douchey again, but I do almost feel like saying, "Don't review it if you didn't watch it seriously!"
And perhaps a comparison would've been better.
Then he could've said, maybe, "the Original explains things better than the American version" or heck, maybe even say that he liked the American Opening better than the Japanese Opening, although the former is just a slightly more upbeat version of the Japanese one.
I don't think Critic's review ruined my day... mostly the manga pages I had to typeset just now. Oh God, too many Soundeffects! I know they are important for a manga, but do we really need so many of them and have random stuff being yelled in the background as well? How can I focus on the story if my eyes are going from one bubble to the next and the background, just to see what the hell is going on everywhere?
Then again, I'm the type who would prefer if scanlation teams wouldn't translate SFX. Either by removing and putting translated ones there or just giving me a note on what the SFX means. And this has nothing to do with knowing Japanese. I mean, the context of the panel generally tells me what is going on, so I can see a kid twirling and thinking, "Ah, that SFX must mean something like 'twirl' or 'furururururu' in terms of sound-speak"

I'm probably biting my tongue here, and I have nothing against your points as I feel they are very valid, but I do want to address the one issue as to why I felt he reviewed the American version.
He is called the NOSTALGIA Critic. It caters towards Nostalgia. As he was born and raised in America, along with what I'm sure is most of his audience as well, he's going to cater to more of their nostalgia than those from outside the country. That being said, it makes more sense that reviews the terrible Americanized version of Sailor Moon rather than the original Japanese version as that's what people grew up on. Honestly, it wouldn't make sense if he started to touch heavily on the comparisons between the two versions as I don't believe that's the aim of his show. It's basically to show movies or tv shows that the American kid grew up with, mostly around the 80s/90s, point out the flaws and exaggerate on them. I know there are much better people to review Sailor Moon than the NC, I don't believe it's his job to review SM subjectively, that's not what he does nor will that ever change. I can say as an American who grew up on junk like this, it clicked with me because I saw this as a child. Yeah, I know NOW that Sailor Moon is pretty different in Japan, but I didn't know this growing up, this was all I had to go off of and I feel that's the kind of target he was trying to reach. Not those who were familiar with the original source material, but those who experienced the show growing up, unaware of what was really going on other than what was being put in front of their face.
I know this is a rant topic and you're entitled to every bit of your opinion, but I just thought I'd point out what I felt was the reason that he did what he did. It doesn't have to be agreed with, but I can understand why he did it. That's all I'm going to say, feel free to take it with a grain of salt.

Although I will admit, having her called Sailor MOON and looking for the MOON Princess kind of never made sense that it was supposed to be a surprise, even if the manga originally had Venus be a decoy-Princess until Usagi actually awakened.
And yes, it's about Nostalgia. But what about his Nostalgia?
Again, the Critic admits it: He's not a fan of Anime (I personally do not count Avatar as 'Anime' as it did not originate from Japan, it's an American made one, like W.I.T.C.H.) and says that he never paid that much attention to Sailor Moon back then or now, because it never interested him.
Why would someone then make a review of it? It's bound to turn out badly.
It's like if I suddenly decided to review... Devil May Cry or Halo, two game series that I never played, have no interest in playing and in general I don't care about. It would be foreordained to fail because I don't know a proper thing about them and, again, caring is a big deal in representing something properly.
If it's because fans asked for it... look, it's nice if he cares about his fans, but he needs to put his foot down. He should never have started that review, unless he even felt like he could do a good review on it. (And this is another instance where the newly added people originally from Demo Reel did not help with good jokes... thankfully, they weren't that present, either.)

So my modified 3DS finally arrived. Thus, I am now in a position to record footage from DS and 3DS games. Unfortunately, my copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening is something I downloaded onto my 3DS from the e-Shop, so it's on my SD card rather than an easy-to-transfer cartridge. No problem, right? Just switch the modified 3DS's SD card with the one that has Awakening on it, right? Apparently not; the modified 3DS doesn't appear to realize there's data from Fire Emblem: Awakening on the card. So now, if I want to go through with my planned Let's Play, I now have to buy a new copy of the game and DLC. [through gritted teeth] Altogether, I've now poured about $500 (about £320 or €375) into this LP. It had better be worth it...
Couldn't you mod it yourself? Or do you actually have take apart the 3DS and sodderize parts on the board? You're lucky you got it modded now, though. Nintendo is starting to seriously crack down on this kind of thing. I've hacked my Wii and now I can play imports, run emulators, and watch any media file.

I think Playstation tried that with the PS2. What happened? People focused more on Swap Magic. Companies will not win against fans, they will always find a way around things, be it region lock or no export.

As much as I love Nintendo, they've lost a lot of money with the Wii U. It's a great console, but it's been selling really poorly. Hopefully we'll see a bunch of games next year. E3 certainly showed a lot of great titles.

....ad revenue is hardly a great sin for a corporation...considering the General had suggested they could have pulled LP videos down at all I would hardly call putting ads on videos (especially as to my understanding youtubers opt in to have ads on their videos) the most heinous of crimes.
Still General just think of the investment that 3DS will pay off in the long run as it'll make capturing so many other games simple beyond fire emblem.

My main problem with it is that it costs too much. I like gaming, but the most I'm willing to shell out for a console is 200€ and that's a reason why I get most of my stuff used. But also because the WiiU has not a single game on it right now that I want. No reason for me to buy any Mario games cause I'm sick and tired of rescuing Miss Mushroom over and over. And while I was told that Luigi U is difficult, the footage I saw was KWing just failing to do simple stuff, so the game is not actually difficult.

No what?! That Logic still makes no sense, you basically rephrased me...except I was saying it didn't make sense...and your rephrase still means it doesn't make sense.
It's possible he's just not great at that game rather than the game not being difficult.
Follow this logic.
Even most difficult games have some learning curve.
If someone fails at the simplest things he won't get far in the game and therefore he will stay on the low unimpressive end of the difficulty scale.
Compare early game here at about 4 minutes with here at the end of the main game.
Raining fire traps, periodically disappearing instant-death floors compared to enemies that actually drop level 2 power ups for Luigi.
Also to my understanding Nabbit isn't there to 'beat the game' he's there to practice speed runs and explore sort of an easy mode like that weird golden raccoon suit from NSMB2.

Whatever at this point I'm just sick of your arrogance towards seemingly everything if you are judging things without trying them yourself. There's a difference between thinking something is easy and performing it. It's how people sit at home on the couch watching gameshows and wonder how people can fluff it so bad. Nerves, attention resources, slight jitters of the hand, all numbers of factors add up to make the actual experience more difficult. It's part of the reason I don't like showing friends difficult games (like God Hand) on youtube because everyone uploading videos of them on there is too proficient to make the difficulty of the game apparent.
Still it is meant to be a difficult Mario game, not something on the wavelength of God Hand, if you want your super challenging platforming I hear Super Meat Boy is good for that, or maybe Cloudberry Kingdom I think.

And I generally do not judge games without playing them. I say Blade Dancer is a terrible game, even if I played it for about 4 hours in total. Maybe the game does get better later on? I have no incentive to find out because it was already a fight to just get to those four hours.
And talking to people who did play the game, even they say the game is not hard.
(Even some of the questions were weird, ranging on stupid... How do I defeat this boss? Well, gee, could it be by jumping on their heads, like in every other Mario/Luigi game made since the series first started?)

100 €, that's all.
One. Hundred. Euros.
...that's nothing! I get that part-time workers, even for a week, don't get paid the world, but I was expecting more than one hundred fucking euros! My work may have had mistakes or flaws in it, I won't deny that, I never worked full-time in an office and doing legal assistant things before. I was bound to make mistakes. But one hundred fucking euros!?
Woman, you lost yourself a good worker! And now you are paying me shit in return! Despite mistakes my work was good enough to warrant at least 150€! What the fuck am I supposed to do with 100€!? That barely pays for anything that I was gonna use that money on! Part of that is gonna go down the drain to get my fucking pill prescription filled!
And a cheque!? A cheque!? Who in this day and age - and in Germany - uses fucking cheques to pay people?! No no no, woman, we are in the day and age of online transfers. Safer and also faster than fucking cheques!
What the fuck!? I feel ripped off!
And the report she had the assistant write about my work isn't much better. Aside from the assistant spelling my name wrong - although I like to blame my mother for giving me a name that gets misspelled 99% when people hear it - it barely tells anything about how I worked. Basically boils down to, "Yeah she worked here. Oh and she did this stuff. Best regards..... PS: She was always on time."
What the fuck, I could write a better report, even if it wasn't objective. This isn't a report on my work it's just a stupid confirmation that I worked there. I can't show this to other potential employers, it tells them nothing about how I work except that I'm on time.
That doesn't help, I always tell them I prefer being early for something, rather than late. Being early is better than simply being "on time". I want that week of work given back to me!
Not to mention, the boss got the fucking dates wrong. I didn't work from 22nd to 25th, I also worked on the 26th, you old fashioned woman! What, fridays don't COUNT as workdays anymore?!

I mosey on down to the PEC room about 5 hours in and I examine a dot puzzle. It bizarrely crashes (note none of my 3DS games have ever crashed) but hey these things happen, I hadn't saved in a while so I mash my way through over an hour and a half of dialogue to get back to where I was. Taking precautions this time I save in the room. So I access the puzzle again and I can't solve it, figure I must be missing a clue or something so I leave the puzzle. I go back to the puzzle....and the game crashes again. Whatever I was prepared for it this time and at least I know it is possible for the puzzle to be accessed. I boot up the game again and load up the save and get....a black screen. Nothing it just doesn't load up and leaves me hanging. So I forcibly restart the console and try again....much the same.
I look online and find out there's a game breaking bug that occurs only if you save in the PEC room where your data is corrupted and you can't load the file again and have to start fresh.
Now I'm wondering if it's even worth playing this game...to sit through 5 hours of puzzle solving and unskippable dialogue I've already done just to get back there.

And a cheque!? A cheque!? Who in this day and age - and in Germany - uses fucking cheques to pay people?!
I know you probably weren't looking for a response but I find this very interesting-- is it highly uncommon to use cheques now in Germany? Here where I live in Canada that's the most popular way of paying people... Makes me wonder if we're really behind the times here.

Well, I learned that Americans tend to never have cash on them, they pay everything via credit cards and such. So I guess cheques may be a bit more common there as well. But not in Germany. We focus solely on online transfers these days.

I'm assuming you bought it off of eBay, right? First off, did you check the seller's feedback rating? Secondly, try getting in contact with him. It could simply have been a mistake on his part.

Yeah, that'd be my suggestion as well.
Immediately contact him and tell him that the game card itself isn't in there.
There is always the possibility that it was a mistake... one that shouldn't happen, but it can happen.

Well that's good... unlike that time I orderer a Video Capture Device and that fucker took my money and never sent it! Looked later and other people were also complaining about money being sent but not getting their end of the deal. The person eventually deleted their account it seems.
Fortunately it was only 5€, otherwise I would've made a huge stink about it...

It's a stupid move, it's not that great, being capable of doing it is not a proof of skill when playing Dead or Alive and having all his bonus missions in Dead or Alive 5 be "Do this variation of Izuna Drop now" is not great. Oooh, look, we created such a difficult move to pull off! Pat yourself on the back if you can pull it off!
The Raijin from Hayate in Dead or Alive 4 was much more difficult to accomplish than the fucking Izuna Drop. I still haven't managed to pull Raijin off. Hayabusa should be removed from Dead or Alive games, along with at least one other character I can think of.

We do not need Bruce Lee knockoffs in every fighting game!
