The facial expressions are still blowing my mind. I need more shows like this to watch.

That's interesting. He mentions some aspects of historical accuracy I may not have noticed, like the specific kinds of food. With so many much more obvious ones everywhere it is kind of interesting he chose to mention those, but maybe e thought some of the more obvious ones didn't even need mention?On that note, from the Roman Album: Samurai Champloo (PG. 46),
Q: While some areas are historically accurate, there is always something a little off....
A (Watanabe): You have to do the research if you want to lie with confidence [laughs]. There are times when you do research to make something interesting, but then you'd get so attached to the accuracy that it ends up binding you, and the end product isn't that interesting at all. I've done a lot of science-fiction work. Rules need to be followed.
But, that's why in Episode 1 we included the announcement, "Just shut up and watch." There will be lies, so don't complain [laughs]. One example would be food. We started out showing the Edo food as it really was, but we then wanted to show things like oko-nomiyaki, and just threw the research away[laughs].
Q: You never did hire a research staff.
A (Watanabe): I made a concious decision not to. If you hire an expert on history, they're not going to like it when libirties are taken. For instance, Episode 20 takes place close to Fukuoka, so we had no problem having them eat Hakata-style ramen. If we had asked an expert if it was okay to serve ramen to the characers during this time period, he would have blown his top[laughs]...
Ah, I see. But why would your avatar be a sign of that? Nichijou was last year's best anime, after all.Oh no, wasn't talking about you. I was speaking of the non-believers. lol
Comeawn mayne, look at my avatar!*which I only changed recently*
I'll probably try an episode or two of it at some point, anyway.I meant more green transformation screenshots. I have yet to check it out myself.
Magic girl has never been my style, but I also haven't watched one in a looong time. So I'm pretty open to putting one on my list now.
To prevent any more confusion, I'll just say the Usagi Drop manga goes in a direction that not everyone is receptive to. The problem is 90% of the people complaining about it haven't actually read it and only know what happens. Not to say they would change their opinion if they did read it, but it's something to keep in mind.
It's your choice whether to continue or not, but I'd advise against spoiling yourself either way.

No, the nature of what happens is such that it doesn't matter whether people have read it or not to know what they think about it. Your complaint doesn't matter.
Why is Anaheim Electronics staffed entirely by cute girls.
I disagree. I think it's executed in such a way that anyone that hadn't already decided they hated it would at least partially find its addressing of certain themes well done.

Confusing? Seems rather straightforward to me. Hot-blooded girl that works at a ramen shop gets into all kinds of trouble as a result of her personality and the crazy people that surround her. Wouldn't call that hard to understand.
Maybe I just have a higher threshold for this kind of thing?
I think we should have a rule that you're only allowed to talk about or acknowledge the existence of the Usagi Drop manga in the actual manga thread.

I second this. Even though I haven't directly read any spoilers, the intense implying that goes on is bad enough.I think we should have a rule that you're only allowed to talk about or acknowledge the existence of the Usagi Drop manga in the actual manga thread.

Its not even about the spoiling. Its the annoying *wink wink snicker snicker* that goes on whenever anyone wants to talk about the Usagi Drop anime.
Just like people snicker everytime someone starts watching School Days, right? Your blowing up over every mention of the manga is just as annoying, if not more so, really. It exists. It's going to get mentioned. I regret sparking it this time, but get over it.
Up to Jexhius's favorite scene already?And now he's getting gangraped.
There's a big difference between the School Days thing and this. The only reason people watch School Days is because of that snickering. OTOH going "MAN YOU SURE ARE ENJOYING THAT USAGI DROP ANIME, IT'D BE A SHAME IF SOMETHING HAPPENED IN A DIFFERENT VERSION OF IT THAT RUINED YOUR ENJOYMENT" is just being a huge dick.
It's just telling the truth. There's a difference.
... Being that rude in a post isn't nice, and I never would say it that way, but on the general point, it IS just telling the truth.
Of course there are cases of different versions of something having different endings -- Chrono Crusade, for example, has QUITE different endings between the anime and manga -- but still, it is worth mentioning in some way.
I only care about the movie franchise though.Its not even about the spoiling. Its the annoying *wink wink snicker snicker* that goes on whenever anyone wants to talk about the Usagi Drop anime.
i look forward to seeing just how much this show can "amaze" me.Don't worry, some of the later twists in the show are truly impossible to predict.
hmmmmmmmI only care about the movie franchise though.

I wonder what Gintoki would think of Darkness.Gintama 101
the moral of the story is to never use a sword cursed with the soul of an otaku

It's already been mentioned in a recent episode. He seems to like it... maybe.

Yeah, he's namedropped it a time or two. I don't know whether he's ever said he liked it or not, lol. He has proclaimed a love for Bleach though, earlier in the series.
Does he want glassesthat can look through clothes as well?!
w-what is this "shame" you speak of?!Have you ever found yourself moist with tears of shame?

No, it doesn't, certainly not the way people end up doing it anyway.It needs to be said, though.
Which person here was watching Texhnolyze? I've noticed that discussion has been absent as of late. Hopefully he's all right and hasn't fallen in to despair.

That's not the case here. If we were talking about the manga, then stuff relevant to the manga is what you're getting into. If we're talking about the anime, then anime stuff applies.As I said on the last page about Narutaru, I believe that it's right to know what you're getting into from the beginning.
Nichibros is suffering from a drastic drop in quality due to a lack of Karasawa and Student Council antics.
