That's why I trust him! He's mingles with all walks of life in search for quality!

Indeed! No smoke and mirrors about him, he goes where the quality is, no more no less.

To scared to rank the mods I see....

Hito used to be in rank S, but he doesn't post as much anymore. Duck would probably be between B and C. Shouta doesn't post enough to know.

Miri said:
And I don't even make the list... :( I don't know whether I should feel bad, or better, about that.

Missed a few people. You're in C.

Halycon said:

But he isn't a jerk about it. Therefore he is worthy of the mustache club.

as for your post not a big fan of placing all media in that "academic" limelight as it makes it way too critical imo. I'm in it to be entertained first, everything else can come after.

Anime is escapism.
also I find it hilarious that he continuously flaunts being an "intellectual" in such a snide way as if to say his opinion is all that matters.

yet he likes ore no imouto because he has little sisters? lmao
yeah im done

In all fairness there is no real way to articulate something from an intellectual perspective without sounding snide. It just comes with the territory.

Has Kino avatar, likes OreImo, thinks Madoka is meh.

He's like the second coming of firehawk, except firehawk never left.

Eh, it's like pringles, once you pop, you just can't stop. I am physically incapable of NOT looking at a work of media academically. However, that's not to say that I can't enjoy a piece of media even if my academic assessment says it's shit. That's what guilty pleasures are for, like Fallout Boy's "Dance Dance".

Also, I wish I was #9, cause then I'd be strongest >:D

Shit I was hoping this thread would stave off Touhou for just a bit longer, that's a whole nother can o worms right there.

Miri said:
You can't be an elitist and enjoy K-ON.

That's a unique case. We all know K-On sucks, but a person's elitism directly depends on how one goes about flaunting their love of a clearly terrible show like that.

Also for those interested in the K-ON! BDs:

Hello Jessica,

Hope all is well. In regards to your question we are no longer doing a K-ON! Volume 1 LE.

Thank you very much for your support and have a wonderful day.


Best,

OreImo 13

I did not know they are making more, anyone know how many more episode they are making? Does that mean there are no season 2?

Kuroneko <3! Yaoi girl appearance is the funniest moment in the entire show.

Is this good or bad for me? I mean... I'm right next to ABF. This is worrying. I don't want to start making 12 chain quotes!

Err no, the touhou fanbase is one of the worst in existence, we should be glad that our thread is mostly free of them.>_> unless we have a few hidden fans here..

Ew, Touhou. Everyone knows Cave games are better in every way.

Shmumpmf elitism!
Speaking of Cave games, Deathsmiles came in the mail this week! Once I get done with Rorona and Neptunia, it's loli time.

So you study literature?

Seriously, I think you are out of your mind juxtaposing anime to reality.

I also study media design. My roots are in literature so I just tend to classify media in general as literature in some regard. And I'll juxtapose anime to whatever I feel is relevant thank you. Y'see, ultimately, anime is a form of storytelling, and likewise comes from human experience. I can relate my personal experiences as an eldest sibling and my experiences with a rock band in high school to OreImo and K-ON respectively. If you can't, too bad. That means your experience is that much different from mine or I have a different perspective on it. You wanna talk about elitism? You're being worse than I am, and for what? a disagreement on tastes? Please, that's Subjectivity 101.

What are we supposed to talk about man, Spring Anime?

Oh god, the image flirting is back! Abandon ship!
Considering it's going be weeks before we even get to see the stand-out spring show, the craziness will probably persist for a number of days + weeks.

Speaking of Cave games, Deathsmiles came in the mail this week! Once I get done with Rorona and Neptunia, it's loli time.
Nice coincidence the only games I've been playing lately (besides crysis 2) is deathsmiles + mushihime-sama futari.,

I've tried to get into Touhou games but I just couldn't. The levels are just too long and they end up being boring.

Also, I find the music really annoying and end up turning it off. The Touhou music fanbase is something that really boggles my mind.



Anyways...so how bout them spring animes
