manga: I thought there was one early on (remember you can’t use mages so no really long range attacks) but you might be able to get away with a high jump stat. Anyway, the same “prinny only” challenge can be tried in Disgaea 2 as well.

Martin: We’re not the only ones, it’s just that the fans are more vocal…

So I’m not the only on who’s watched some Lucky Star, found it to be mildly entertaining but nothing outstanding? I checked it out for ‘research purposes’ too but I still feel like I’m missing something…why does everyone except me think it’s great? I think I’ll give it a couple more episodes and see how it pans out before giving up.

ah, then it´s hard. But are there stages which you can´t complete without lifting and throwing? I know of one such stage in Disgaea 2, but in Disgaea? I don´t think so.

And yet another, ah, that explains everything about Shining Tears X Wind :) You should watch the second last episode though, good of screencapin goodness for you :p

manga: You have to start from the very beginning, no New Game+…the real challenge is to just use prinnies for every stage except ones where it’s impossible to win without lifting and throwing. My brother made 23 prinnies to try this but in the end I gave in and let him have human generics.
I’m not even watching Shining Tears X Wind; Necromancer sent me those screencaps weeks ago.

Ravage: I bet some gamer out there has tried it…

Kryptfo: I used to be like that, but now for anime I just have to listen to the dub version (in my memory the Bebop, Outlaw Star and Big O dubs are good though). For games I will usually start with the dub, though, even if some of the voices are annoying- probably because the onscreen text is effectively a dubtitle anyway.

On the subject of subs and dubs… If possible, I prefer sampling both, then making my decision on a case-by-case basis. Most often that means sticking to the original language, but there are some dubs out there that I actually prefer over the originals (Ghost in the Shell S.A.C, Kazemakase Tsukikage Ran). One thing English-language dubs usually excel at is the voices of the more annoying and high-pitched female characters, which are a lot less annoying and high-pitched than their Japanese counterparts. Overall, I preferred the Japanese voices in Dynasty Warriors 4, but the way they made the female characters sound forced me to stick with the English voices.

Legend of Dragoon, good times, good times…
Pretty much impossible challenge though, yeah. ;)

Lucky Star is never bad :p
Best show I´ve watched for a long time.

challange is hard. Espacially in Disgaea where you often don´t have enough characters if you only use the story characters.
Or does a newgame count? if so I´ve already done it using only Laharl :)

FFVIII without junction is hard though, not upgrading your weapon doesn´t make the game harder, it just takes more time. I had Squalls first sword untill I could get Lion Heart basically at the end stages.

Regarding Shining Tears X Wind, wait untill the second EP from the end… you´ll be either really happy or very irritated.
