So while the Winner is doing the anime equivalent of popping out three kids while holding hands in the backseat of a car, the Loser can't even bear the thought of doing something similar. Clear proof that it's all in the mind.
Seriously this shit ain't even fair, yo. One million hits on Google!!!!

I know I'm late here, but I hope with some time to step back a bit and take a break you will feel better. I really appreciate all of your thoughts and insights and hope that you will be back soon.

WTF is this lol. I tried to find this show a while back, but maybe they use an English name or something. This scene is just crazy.

I'll keep watching for the Asuna lulz. Pretty sure I've come too far to just drop the show now anyway.

It's okay cause she's been a victim and that lets Kirito be Jesus Christ superstar.
Waifus aren't really about the characters themselves, but what the audience can imagine themselves as.

There's somebody doing that? Granted, I did like Asuna early on but I managed to learn the error of my ways.

I think you posted enough reasons why she is the perfect waifu.
Blank slate.

bad gameplay lol
Not anime, but I just watched the first episode of Unofficial Sentai Akibaranger. Oh god this show. This is the funniest shit. :lol I'd recommend it even if you aren't a Sentai fan.

[Letter to Momo]
Hiroyuki Okiura really likes shots of people's eyes.
While this film is good, it certainly wasn't worth 7 years of production time. As with Steamboy and Redline all that time has led to a visually arresting film the likes of which one doesn't witness, but you have to wonder if the creators got too close to their creation and could no longer see the flaws.

From this week's Media Create sales thread:
12./00. [3DS] Aikatsu! Cinderella Lesson <ETC> (Bandai Namco Games) {2012.11.15} (¥5.040) - 8.725 / NEW
I didn't even know they'd made a 3DS game for the series.

It did but we all keep watching anyway.

Like a bunch of snuff film snobs, we get off on anime's putrefaction.
I'm not sure if I think that's a fair comparison, mostly because I think Momo is significantly better than either of those films (and nowhere near as visually arresting, either). Do you think Momo's main flaws are in its narrative or its visuals?

But then what would Ao be referring to in that line, when they first entered the world with Truth as his archetype. Truth seemed to be searching for it or at least the idea that captured it and Ao has been led by that concept for several episodes too.
I've been trying my best to wipe that episode from my memory.
I'm thankful that the show at least had a character like Juri. She was amazing in every way. If only her and Utena had gotten involved instead of
that douchebag sister fucking Akio

I'm not sure if I should complain about the spoilers or thank you for unintentionally warning me about what this show has in store for me.

I don't think Momo has any main flaws, unless you count being kind of predictable as a flaw (and I don't). I simply compare it to those two other works because it was clearly a passion product that a director and team strived to complete no matter how long it took them.
I'll have some more pointed criticism ready shortly.

I wasn't aware that it was okay to openly discuss stuff like that without spoiler tags. That and stuff like the punching gif from My Little Monster some pages back make this place real unique when it comes to spoilers.
I love coming here, but the culture feels really different from the rest of GAF in that sense. Makes it like a fun minefield of sorts.
Edit: Also, I think I stopped watching around episode 19 so I could blast through the final episodes.
Well it's a preview so there isn't any spoiler or shit got real in it. But that punching gif from Tonari no Kaibutsu kun crosses that line and ruin it for me.I wasn't aware that it was okay to openly discuss stuff like that without spoiler tags.

Like posting the punch line of a joke with no build-up whatsoever.
You clearly haven't watched Legend of the Galactic Heroes. The previews spoil everything.
Fair enough - I look forward to your articulate criticism as always
But this brings us back to what we were talking about at the weekend. We have a very strict policy on written spoilers that you can't spoil anything from anything, but it's very difficult to make rules on what constitutes a visual spoiler. Images from previews will always spoil a show for someone who's not up to date in watching it.

Im kinda sad that I think I know were that gif is from
its porn
yeah, I think Desert Storm had the last good tank battles.
though tanks are better than ever.
Really? It has to be story based right
Awesome. I really want that sugoroku game. Also the hanafuda cards that was in the DX set of the PSP game. >_>

Baka and Test - Summon the Beasts 7 - 9
I hope there are even more Akihisa and Yuji scenes, they never get old, then that one with Yuji only wearing the apron and cooking. Do feel bad for Kubo as he's just always left out while Yuji takes his Akihisa.
All three episodes were hilarious, and Eva/Geass references in episode 8. Funniest moment
I hope second season has better OP and ED, I just cant get into either one here.

Akihisa in 9 studying so intensely for getting a good grade on the midterm only to put Alexanger the great on the number line and then every answer on the test being off a space by one, How silly (though its always been a fear of mind in test taking, where I skip something to come back to later and then realize I never skipped and put the answers in the wrong bubble :/ but fixed in time
I hope second season has better OP and ED, I just cant get into either one here.

Or the previews from VOTOMS which explain everything but are cool anyway.
I just don't get how that turns people on. It looks like she got stuck when she dove.

Ha, perhaps I'll consider it. They do look neat lined up together like that!
They really are! KyoAni does a really great job designing all of their series TRUMPs.
It's on my list.
Heh. Meanwhile, I'm wondering if I'll ever find out how to play it!
Whaa? I didn't know about those. Thanks for bringing it up.

Haha! Just noticed that I ended the post on "and I'm...".
I finally finished the sentence.
I thought Ao was laughing at the irony of it all.
Truth pretty explicitly says what he's seeking before he takes a Quartz Gun to the face. He claims the world is wrong, and his version of a "correct" world is one without Scub in it. In other words, the world we live in now. This is all in Johannsen's book. By the end of the series, he never gets his wish.
In the world of Episode 24, Truth exists only as an AI assisting a pilot. He has never sought any kind of truth, because he has a simple purpose, as expressed before the line you quote. "We Archetypes wish to help LFO pilots that need us." He's fine with this. This new world isn't wrong to Truth, but that's not to say he succeeded. He's satisfied now only because his previous incarnation's insistence that the old world was wrong was misguided. There's no "wrong" or "right" world.
I think you'll agree that the "friendship" he has with Ao at the end of the series is more important than whatever aim he held before, right? That's the point.

Definitely!
So... without anything previous to say you just came here with that barrage of opinionated and inflammatory (while quite derivative) text using another person's own conflicts and moment of confusion to justify everything you said in there... utilizing the feelings of someone in such a way, isn't it?
O.K., O.K., I got it... that seems the way to go for you, I guess, but this is on a whole new level that I find difficult to tolerate.
I disagree. This is Mr. Tsurumaki through-and-through, and if FLCL was a love letter from him dedicated to Mr. Anno, Aim for the Top 2! Diebuster was a letter of love to all of GAiNAX (remember, 20th anniversary project), but the parallelisms it draws and the whole team still present on it make this in my opinion closer to a continuation of FLCL's OVA training project than to anything else.
That said, comparisons between an original OVA and its homage are futile, one doesn't works without the other anyway.
