BritGAF |OT6| Dark Souls? More like Arse Holes

Aha! I haven't! Been meaning to catch up, didn't watch them when they were on for various personal stuff but a very good call for some iPlayer fun. I presume the new ones are good as usual?

The transgender kids one is interesting but not entirely comfortable viewing.

The two episodes about the criminally insane are also very good and make for more entertaining, if less informative, television.

Some of the things these schizophrenics say, god damn. Because of the differences between each individual case it can be at turns hilarious and really quite harrowing.

I've watched three episodes of Kill la Kill as well and I think I'll probably stop now because it seems to be one of those fucking stupid animes in which tits and ass are way more important than story. Is there really nothing else as good as Attack on Titan?

Attack on Titan is good but so much of it can be described as YELLING MY THOUGHT PROCESSES AND INNER CONFLICTS REALLY FUCKING LOUD!!!!

If you value story and characterization over "tits and ass":

Watch Legend of the Galactic Heroes. It's the most philosophically engaging anime I've seen. So stop what you are doing right now and watch it now, there's like a hundred fucking episodes and it's a slow burner to start but it's really fucking good so watch it you fucking fuck cunt fuck.
 
I found the transgender one pretty dull watching. There weren't any "characters". Some of the stuff from the rehab place said was morbidly hilarious. I mean, awful, but hard not to laugh out (like the guy describing his altercation with the policeman and the metal rod...)

I tend to agree. Theroux is good at being the straight man, which doesn't work as well when dealing with 'issues', where the presenter needs to exert more authority.

The gift that keeps on giving
Exactly, leave him the fuck alone. It's bordering on bullying and ostracisation at this point.

If the mods haven't intervened, then again, leave him the fuck alone. You're not doing much to dissuade the 'clique' mindset this thread is increasingly becoming known for.

Which one?

Also, can we stop with the paedophilia stuff again? Take it to the police or take it fucking somewhere else. You're shitting up the thread.

I have no qualms with either of you guys, but this dude who you are defending is a fucking piece of work. I can't go to the police because he said that the idea of four minors in a tent masturbating had him with his cock in his hand. But by god I'll fucking let him know that I loathe him and that he is a disgusting individual.

Infact I don't care if I get banned for saying that CyanideStrike, I hope you top yourself for fucks sake. You're a shit father, a watered down human being and a paedo cunt. Peace.

I nearly bailed out of the first episode because of this. I didn't notice it happening too much beyond that, or at least it didn't jump out as absurd like the first one did anyway.

I'm just sick of hearing about it. I know a bunch of people have a problem with him, that's what "ignore" is for. Constantly bringing it up in this thread is just tiresome and there is absolutely no need for it.

Yeah, I think you've hit the nail there. That's why it works so well when he's talking to self deluded morons like that KKK who went on the "foreign visit" to Mexico and had got hammered in a bar wearing a novelty hat whilst his agent banged a prostitute. Louis just gives them the rope to hang themselves.

holy shit this page is fucking weak.

my new shoes hurt my feet. i appear to have bought the dark souls of shoes.

I also wish to post on GAFumblr. I rode my bike again today, first time since winter. My arse feels devastated. :(

Also new shoes suck, especially formal. Jesus H Christ on a bike. Fuck that noise.

I'm just concerned all the drama is going to turn away new posters.

Like that Wadium Spaladium guy.

WHERE IS HE NOW?

If he had turned up like ten pages ago he'd have seen me being great and gone "wow, what a great thread, I sure can't wait to get to know this swell bunch of fellas." But no. He probably thinks I'm great but has been put off the thread by all the drama and tension and what not.

Forgive us Wadium Paladium, we hardly knew ye

Yeah that is my concern too. We shouldn't rise to the bait.

This statement cannot be serious. If it is, on your bike.

I don't like Anime and I had the same reaction.

I mean Cowboy Bebop, one of the best things in any visual medium? Anything by Miyazaki/Ghibli or Satoshi Kon? Full Metal Alchemist? Samurai Champloo?

Maturity, bitches.
I'm fully aware I tend to post shows that would be the equivalent of recommending Hollyoaks as good television but there's no way one can say AoT is the best of Japanese animation with a straight face. I watched The Tale of Princess Kaguya the other day at the cinema and that blasts AoT out of the water. People still recommend Cowboy Bebop because it's such a good show. I doubt people will be saying the same of AoT in as many years.

If I were to recommend something that would have broad appeal but is very much something you'd only expect from Japanese animation, Big O would be a fairly safe bet. Same animation studio that helped with the Batman animated series so the style should appeal to those who liked that.

Titan is shit. The story goes nowhere and the characters are lame. I gave up when Eren got abducted by the other titans. The hairy Titan looked cool but it was just questions questions questions. No bloody answers

Anime snob is an oxymoron.
PUH-FA! These anime fans have no taste or true understanding in the medium of animation. If you want to truly open your mind, you must experience animation from the continent of Europe. Our Watership Downs, Plague Dogs, and La Planete Sauvages vastly outshine the mistake that is modern day anime (sips chianti).

I actually don't know all that much about anime in its current form...nor do I wish to.
 
Is there really nothing else as good as Attack on Titan?

I don't say this as a question of AoT's quality (though I thought it was really fucking good) but more that it was refreshing to watch an anime whose primary focus isn't upskirt shots.

I was told Gurren Lagann was great, and I was told Kill la Kill was great, and they're both unwatchable.

So yeah, it was nice to find a new series whose production was a bit more mature, and it'd be nice to find another one!

Is it just me or has telly got shit in the last few weeks? Har har har it's always shit, sure, but there's been a few more thing on recently that I've bothered to watch. This week? Nope.
I don't want that much telly anymore but Masterchef has been back on, Louis Theroux has new shows out, Better Call Saul is excellent and Game of Thrones starts on Monday.

That's plenty to keep me entertained.
Digimon Adventure tri will be too, once it eventually starts. Namcooooo
Isn't that those kids toys? There is a TV show?

*googles synopsis*

"Taichi Yagami is now 17 and attending high school, when he and his friends, the Chosen Children group who saved the Digital World in August 1999, reunite with their Digimon partners to once more protect the Digital World from evil."

Wow, that's original.

Well, yeah, it's an advert for kids toys made by a studio that specialises in making cheap things with as little effort as humanly possible. It never aimed to be original, at the very least it might have one surprisingly well directed episode or so.

Yeah, a show doesn't need to be original to be enjoyable I guess, but I knew it would be a Japanese animation and said to myself before looking, "let me guess, a group of unassuming high school misfits come together to battle the forces of evil".

It's like these shows are created via a template.

Masterchef is legit.

Why wade through shit looking for a gold coated peanut when there's bullion right next to it?

What season are you on?
Not that it matters, I don't think there's a disappointing one in the whole run

Season 3, loving it.

Have you watched Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt yet?

Yeah I watched that before I got into 30 Rock actually. It's good but it turns into a live action cartoon towards the end on the season. The characters become too unbelievable. Some good jokes still though.

They are. Though to be fair it's more like a reunion episode where you can't help but think they're a little too old for it now.
 
i agree with unbreakable hitting flanderisation really, really early on, especially in comparison to 30 rock. i think tina fey just enjoys very cartoonish characters, plus the absurd nature of the humor lends itself to over the top performances.

30 Rock is a live action Muppet Show, so it makes sense.

is when Unbreakable falls down somewhat. It just gets too ridiculous.
