Dang, this week is small.  Also, I want to see a music video of Geekachu dancing to the GaoGaiGar theme song.  Throw in some green screen action and it will be the best music video ever.

@Oneesama: Y-yeah! Yeah! That's it! DID YOU EVER THINK ABOUT THAT, GIA?

 @Geekachu:
Welecome to the forums Geekachu. It's nice to see that you figured out how to make a profile.
 
I'm with Geekachu on Soul Eater > Dante's Inferno (Although if we are talking about the original first part of the Divine Comedy I'd give it to Inferno) 
 
Also a little bit of trivia, Jörmungandr is the name of a serpent that surrounds the earth biting down on his own tail in Norse mythology. When he lets go of the tail Ragnarök will begin, he is the son of the god Loki and the giantess Angrboða and is killed during Ragnarök by Thor but not before poisoning him and after walking nine paces Thor falls over and dies.

Geekachu's own profile? Bad-ass.
 
Soul Eater looks like something I may get into.

I'm seriously unsure about the Dante's Inferno game. Just seems like yet another in the long line of God of War clones. I rented Darksiders. That was a good game, because it did things different with Zelda-like questing.

Soul Eater really is a very good series. I've always enjoyed the relationship between Medusa and Stein.

Soul Eater looks great and GaoGaiGar is fun to watch.

Yay, a super robot recommendation that ain't Gurren Lagann, lol. Perhaps if enough people buy both seasons of   GaoGaiGar, then GGG Final may be licensed. Maybe.
