[Chet Rippo]

How do you know she has no range and isn't just typecasted into her roles?

 

[duckroll]

I feel the urge to defend Omigawa, but then I realize that I used to hate her too, and if I defend her, it would mean Branduil wins yet again. I can't accept this...

Truly a situation where every move leads to some loss.

 

[cajunator]

I don't think Omigawa is bad. I just fucking hate Elena.

I lurve Elena.
I guess I feel the same way about Asuna as you do about Elena.

Sounds like quite the quandary.

 

[kayos90]

I lurve Elena.

*shrug

No. I'm pretty sure you don't hate Asuna. You just dislike her. I hate Elena's entire character because she contributes literally nothing to the show other than some stupid mediocre comedy or bring up questions that really don't need to be asked. It's fucking stupid. I can understand why people dislike Asuna. That I'm fine with. Elena on the other hand. My gosh...

How do you know she has no range and isn't just typecasted into her roles?

If she had either vocal or acting range, she probably would find better roles?

 

[Narag]

No. I'm pretty sure you don't hate Asuna. You just dislike her.

Didn't he call her "used goods" earlier?

 

[madp]

No. I'm pretty sure you don't hate Asuna. You just dislike her.

It's fucking stupid. I can understand why people dislike Asuna. That I'm fine with. Elena on the other hand. My gosh...

You know, I had my doubts but I think we're going to get along.

 

[duckroll]

Now if someone was going to criticize Miyuki Sawashiro, then I'd have a problem.

She makes a shitty Fujiko. And I'm not just talking about the crappy recent series! Sorry!

 

[Chet Rippo]

Oh right, Girls und Panzer is also a show I'm gonna watch this fall. I'll probably end up watching the show about the painter girl too.

 

[kayos90]

Didn't he call her "used goods" earlier?

That doesn't mean hate. There's a difference between dislike and hate. I'm pretty sure cajunator is not capable of hating anything really. Unless I'm wrong then I'm sorry cajun. There's a difference between strong dislike and hate as well.

You know, I had my doubts but I think we're going to get along.

??? How so? Did I miss something?

 

[Dresden]

No. I'm pretty sure you don't hate Asuna. You just dislike her. I hate Elena's entire character because she contributes literally nothing to the show other than some stupid mediocre comedy or bring up questions that really don't need to be asked. It's fucking stupid. I can understand why people dislike Asuna. That I'm fine with. Elena on the other hand. My gosh...

Elena hasn't been that bad since the buttplug tail.

 

[trejo]

Elena hasn't been that bad since the buttplug tail.

Clearly I should stop my eyes from glazing over any time she's on screen because I don't remember this at all.

 

[Narag]

I'm pretty sure he hates Fridays, Texas, and the Carolina Panthers too!

 

[chickdigger802]

What are y'all even arguing about?

 

[dimb]

YuruYuri S2 11

This show has sort of been a drag lately. Mostly in that I rarely feel like it delivers on what I want, and the characters it focuses on tend to be the ones I would rather shy away from. But this episode was like a return to form, in that it outpaced my expectations and kept me entertained while returning to its meta roots. It was even kind of sad and emotional too for just a little bit.

JoJo

I'm not very familiar with JoJo's, but I'm going to give this a go as well.
(Can I, cosmic? Can I?)

You know, I had my doubts but I think we're going to get along.

He definitely seems to have his heart in the right place.

 

[trejo]

What are y'all even arguing about?

Important stuff, as always.

 

[Chet Rippo]

I'm pretty sure he hates Fridays, Texas, and the Carolina Panthers too!

Who doesn't?

AT-X??!?!?!?!? .... ;______; Tokyo MX only. This world... THIS WORLD IS NOT RIGHT. I will watch with the promise of smiling and hype inducement.

I lurve Elena.
I guess I feel the same way about Asuna as you do about Elena.
*shrug

I am with you on this.

*ehem*

Glorious Miyako returns, Mr. Kuma!

I respectfully respect your taste, good sir, as all the Hidamaris are great.

*ehem*
I'm not very familiar with JoJo's, but I'm going to give this a go as well.
(Can I, cosmic? Can I?)

The concept itself seems fun enough, and it's clear the franchise itself has lots of fans. I'm interested.

 

[kayos90]

What are y'all even arguing about?

Something fucking stupid.

 

[madp]

Clearly I should stop my eyes from glazing over any time she's on screen because I don't remember this at all.

No, actually; you should be extremely thankful for this oversight.

[yn-neko hates a cat]

Not really. I didn't say that one was better than the other because it was older or more influential. I just that one was qualitatively better, which it is.

Hehehehe... I disagree! Come at me bro!

Spoiler

Please don't come at me bro... I like Goldenboy more because I have fonder memories of it

 

[Jex]

No. I'm pretty sure you don't hate Asuna. You just dislike her. I hate Elena's entire character because she contributes literally nothing to the show other than some stupid mediocre comedy or bring up questions that really don't need to be asked. It's fucking stupid. I can understand why people dislike Asuna. That I'm fine with. Elena on the other hand. My gosh...

Eh, Elena now actually serves some story-purpose in Eureka Seven: Ao so I can't really agree with on that.

 

[Chet Rippo]

What are y'all even arguing about?

The same thing we argue about every night.

 

[dimb]

Elena was probably the only reason I watched as much of E7:AO as I did.

 

[Branduil]

This is wonderful.

 

[trejo]

Eh, Elena now actually serves some story-purpose in Eureka Seven: Ao so I can't really agree with on that.

I can!

 

[Jex]

Now, Naru on the other hand...Naru has less screentime than her own pet. For real.

 

[sleepykyo]

Watched Accel World 22. Poor Taku. That is all.

 

[kayos90]

Eh, Elena now actually serves some story-purpose in Eureka Seven: Ao so I can't really agree with on that.

Other than that one episode about identity her role hasn't changed at all. She's still that girl that came from the other world, an otaku, a pilot. That's it. Nothing has changed at all.

 

[Ultimadrago]

I respectfully respect your taste, good sir, as all the Hidamaris are great.

Hidamari bro and Nichijoubro? You're just the full package, Thoraxes!

What are y'all even arguing about?

 

[Crash Station]

The concept itself seems fun enough, and it's clear the franchise itself has lots of fans. I'm interested.

The biggest problem is most of the fanbase comes from the later parts, the most being from part 3. Part 1 is really nothing remarkable and acts like a prologue more than anything else. It's kind of still living in Fist of the North Star's shadow at that point.

That isn't to say part 1 is bad, but it's a pretty dull start to what becomes one of the best shounen series out there.

 

[trejo]

No, actually; you should be extremely thankful for this oversight.

Which of my bros should I trust?

I'm gonna need a screenshot or two of the subject in question in order to properly decide where to stand on this.

 

[Branduil]

http://www.japantoday.com/category/arts-culture/view/is-incest-japans-latest-literary-craze

I was hoping they would actually answer the question.

I guess it's the latest and greatest fad. I wonder if any of them realise the success of My Little Sister Can't be This Cute isn't solely down to the presence of a little sister in the storyline.

It isn't?

It's little sister + living the otaku lifestyle.

True, it doesn't limit its pandering to incest... it also panders to otaku's incessant need for navel-gazing.

 

[Dresden]

I am, as always, immensely, undoubtedly trustworthy.

Trust me.

 

[Uchip]

Elena Peoples is like a virus
It sneaks into your anime and makes it unwell, completely destroying any suspension of disbelief and pandering to mindless otaku.

some people enjoy sickness


actually it reminds me of the latter Family Guy episodes, in which they randomly reference shit that you may or may not know about.

 

[Jarmel]

Now, Naru on the other hand...Naru has less screentime than her own pet. For real.

Naru is a horrible character for reasons other than her screentime. She is far and away the worst character on the show.

Elena's stupidity is momentary while Naru's just continues and drags the whole show down.

 

[yn-neko hates a cat]

Mine still running like brand new after a quarter million miles says you're wrong.

Bro-fist! Toyota fo-sho!

 

[Branduil]

It's set in 2202. Moe culture has run rampant, and kanji are no longer in regular usage. Light novels have become the height of literary sophistication. That's why it's so amazing that a 16 year old girl can read kanji in said story.

Apparently there's some kind of time slip but I couldn't be bothered reading the summary any further than that. I guess it's probably hilariously ironic in Japanese.

So it's set in a dystopian future, right?

 

[Uchip]

She is far and away the worst character on the show.

Truth takes that title with ease
Naru and Truth might as well be one entity of stupid

 

[chickdigger802]

elena elena... who's that? smells like shit from GC or AO or something.

 

[Jarmel]

Truth takes that title with ease
Naru and Truth might as well be one entity of stupid

Truth is really high on the stupidity list as well but atleast they're trying with his character. Naru just floats around and comments at random times while seemingly doing jackshit.

Jesus Christ the writing in AO is bad. It wasn't bad enough to have one stupid god-like character, they needed two.

Great news about Bakemonogatari, easiest $150 I'll ever spend. Lots of respect to Aniplex, I never thought it would happen. That holy grail of anime translation.
