No, but it does make me disappointed in you.

Well I bet you like things that disappoint me!

It's really apparent how high-tier Kyoani animation is :T

Now make an original mech show you bastards

I don't like japanese mechs. They're so fast! I want slow, plodding machines

 

[Femmeworth]

I don't like japanese mechs. They're so fast! I want slow, plodding machines

*adds that to list* Not all Japanese mecha are slow, just look at Front Mission.

Set it during WWII- wait, no, forget I said anything.

Is that the SRPG? I've been very very very very slowly making my way through Ring of Red which is a cool early PS2 mech SRPG.

Yes.

you can't consider lagann a character if you don't consider anti-spiral one.

Did Lagann suddenly gain consciousness in the movies or something?

Better yet, don't spoil me.

He has some fantastic character development. *gasp* I've said too much.

 

[Emitan]

Yes.

I should check them out after I clear my backlog.

*checks backlog*

Well I'm sure theyre great but I'll never know!

Backlog empathy? Backlog empathy.

Parasiting off bigger robots != character development

 

[Emitan]

Backlog empathy? Backlog empathy.

I wish all of my backlog games would turn out to be wonderful surprises like Nier, but some of them I just give up on to take them off.

 

[Femmeworth]

You're right. It's symbolism!

Good thing you liked Nier, or else we could never date.

It still makes him a better character than forehead boy.

Perfect excuse to Akio up K-ON!GAF.

Why are their faces so looooooong

 

[Femmeworth]

Why are their faces so looooooong

Why is yours so short?

 

[Regulus Tera]

Why are their faces so looooooong

Welcome to the nineties. Anime was better back then.

 

[Jintor]

Different. We use the term 'different' around here.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Mugi is different than all the other girls.

 

[Emitan]

Why is yours so short?

I'm a moe blob

 

[Chet Rippo]

Then I guess it's ok for me to post some Golden Boy.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Utena didn't revolutionise the world after all.

The thing about symbolism is that it has to use symbols. (I really need to watch that.)

I said short, not round. Then again, they do go together.

I want to work there! I can program!

Is that the show about lesbians? Someone was telling me about it today.

 

[Femmeworth]

Utena is not about lesbians. Don't listen to the lies. ;_;

 

[Regulus Tera]

There are lesbians in Utena, yes.

 

[Chet Rippo]

No, you're thinking of K-ON!

 

[Dr.Palutena]

There are lesbians in Utena, yes.

Hmmmm.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Hmmmm.

There are lesbians but it's not really about lesbians. It's a coming of age story and an analysis piece about the traditional gender roles and stereotypes.

 

[Femmeworth]

Hmmmm.

Those statements are not mutually exclusive.

 

[Emitan]

Well someone was like HEY YOURE A LESBIAN SO WATCHED UTENA RIGHT? so thats what i thought it was about

 

[Dr.Palutena]

Those statements are not mutually exclusive.

yes I knew that, but together they still filled me with foreboding.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Well someone was like HEY YOURE A LESBIAN SO WATCHED UTENA RIGHT? so thats what i thought it was about

Does this mean I'm a lesbian?

 

[Emitan]

Does this mean I'm a lesbian?

Do you like girls?

 

[Femmeworth]

There isn't really a de facto lesbian anime, yet. :\ The closest thing is Aoi Hana.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Do you like girls?

I love them, but they don't love me back anymore.

Utena is as mandatory as it gets.

 

[Femmeworth]

Utena is as mandatory as it gets.

From what I understand, that really only applies to the movie.

The themes regarding sexuality and gender identity are just as strong in the series, even if they are not played as blatantly. See

Unless what you want is just straight up girls kissing and fondling each other. Which is a respectable demand, mind you!

That's not a lesbian anime, that's a lesbian hentai.

That's what Manyuu Hikenchou is for. Lots of boob groping in that.

And tit slicing.

I still need to watch the rest of Utena. I just want a quality show exploring the relationship between two lesbians. Is that so much to ask? ;_;

Considering the current anime market? Yes.

It shouldn't be

I blame Japanese boys. All the girls want their "boys love" mangas but are guys reading stories about lesbians? NOPE.

(i have no idea im just guessing)

What do you think K-ON! is?

 

[Emitan]

What do you think K-ON! is?

Only one, er, three of them are lesbians! That's only slightly more than half!

Generalising here, but a story about lesbians would surely entail concepts like feminine independence? The thing about otaku is that they like their waifus fragile and "protectable".

I'm telling you, the manga is going to end in one massive orgy. Just you wait.
