As usual, this thread is impossible to follow.

This is isn't as usual, this is the totally insane start of thread which can hit 1,200 posts in around a day.

 

[Hellsing321]

the best kind

Apparently. The Best Buy near me doesn't even carry Anime anymore.

 

[trejo]

The harsh truth.

You shut your mouth!

Oh great, and they were doing so well too... They're combining a poor understanding of conservation of energy with metaphysics to justify all this bullshit.

Well, it doesn't exactly justify it but I thought it was a pretty darn stupid explanations as well. It's fair to say you aren't alone on that point.

 

[InfiniteNine]

What kind of grocery store sells anime blu-rays?

HEB. I bought Mnemosyne there.

I've seen this movie before! I think Bill Murray was in it...

Billy Murrary can't pull off ZA WARUDO.

 

[trejo]

Jesus, I hadn't realized it's been just one day and we're already at 1300+ posts.

At this rate we'll easily cheese our way to 20000.

And for once you actually one of the top three posters in the thread! last time i checked anyway

Koi Kaze 1
Brilliant. It wasn't the actual plot, but it was the small things in the background, the look on Koshiro's boss's face as he struggled to give Nanoka the theme park tickets, and then the recurring bear mascot with colorful balloons. And then there's that co-worker with the glasses! Ha! He's a creepy lolicon! It's funny!

Um he's probably the worst part about the show to, and he's very out-of-place with the rest of the series.

It's not even really like this is the worst explanation I've seen, it's flat out just dumb. It would actually be brilliant if it was all an elaborate lie and the REAL reason they're doing this is because they just fucking feel like it.

Billy Murrary can't pull off ZA WARUDO.

SHUT YO WHORE MOUTH, YES HE CAN.

 

[Jex]

What, you guys never have feelings of protectiveness towards Kaiji?

Kaiji is incredibly moe.

your posts really give off that vibe though (more so than others), which is unfortunate.

You talk like being an elitist is a bad thing.

 

[hellclerk]

Um he's probably the worst part about the show to, and he's very out-of-place with the rest of the series.

Are you kidding me? He's right at home as a fantastic juxtaposition to HOW SQUICK THIS SHIT ACTUALLY IS.

Watching this guy SWEAT under how painfully "adorable" his sister is being is perhaps the most hilarious thing I've seen this week.

This is isn't as usual, this is the totally insane start of thread which can hit 1,200 posts in around a day.

The previous threads were also impossible to follow... I tried!

I guess everyone is waiting for the loli succubus stuff.

 

[Dresden]

Holy shit, five pages after I went out. I can't keep up with this thread.

Hopefully that show about thirty year old virgins getting their cocks sucked helps stem the tide.

 

[I Am Now]

Really? Best Buy is the only retail outlet around me that carries animu anymore. Unless you count Halo Legends and Ponyo being carried at Target, which I don't.

Where do you live? Do they have FYE's?

 

[InfiniteNine]

Kaiji is incredibly moe.

It's true.

 

[Jex]

Um he's probably the worst part about the show to, and he's very out-of-place with the rest of the series.

Well, if you removed him it'd certainly help. Then you'd have no stupid 2D characters in the show.

 

[I Am Now]

wat

 

[Jex]

Oh Good, cause I enjoyed K-ON

No no, elitists can wrangle and even greater enjoyment out of K-On!(!) than regular fans.

Didn't they talk/rant about this on AWO once or am I imagining it?

Yes, I believe they did, when Clarissa was discussing it,

 

[trejo]

Godammit, Infi.

 

[Hellsing321]

Really? Best Buy is the only retail outlet around me that carries animu anymore. Unless you count Halo Legends and Ponyo being carried at Target, which I don't.

They kept cutting down the section more an more until one day they just said fuck it and put everything they had left on clearance. I got All of Gundam Wing, Outlaw Star out of it anyway. Unfortunately I also got all of the ZOE anime.

Sweet, topping the list. It's hard work, but is it really work if you enjoy it?

 

[Branduil]

I think doomed's real problem with Madoka is the lack of a creepy 4th-wall-breaking otaku to pant over the girls.

 

[firehawk12]

As usual, this thread is impossible to follow.

Hmm... small question, anyone here ordered the Toradora DVDs and got the replacement for the first volume?

Yup. Got my DVDs through the mail. I don't know if it's still on though.

 

[Jex]

I think doomed's real problem with Madoka is the lack of a creepy 4th-wall-breaking otaku to pant over the girls.

Or the lack of creepy sisters-bending over shots.

This talk of Mushishi got me to check out Episode 7 again. It was always one of my most favorite episodes above the others even though Mushishi as a whole is superb. Not sure why it particular sticks out to me.

Anyone have any special favorites as well?

That would be like picking my favourite children.

The ones near the end, where the Mushi-shi's comes and tell their tales to the women.

If you start legitimately enjoying Kanon 2002 (you know, except for the art!) then you really know you're too far gone.

Then you know you've crossed that fine, fine line.

Oh wait, it's not that fine of a line.

 

[zeroshiki]

Jesus, I hadn't realized it's been just one day and we're already at 1300+ posts.

At this rate we'll easily cheese our way to 20000.

At this rate, we'll have 120k posts at the end of the season thus getting as locked and thrown out into the cold harsh world of GAF.

Zombie Fella 11

Crazy with a healthy dose of awesome, just the way I like it.

Zombie Lad 12

Meh.

Well I guess that's that.

I think doomed's real problem with Madoka is the lack of a creepy 4th-wall-breaking otaku to pant over the girls.

Ah, the truth comes to surface.

 

[Jex]

Are they actually going to wrap things up, or does nothing end up changing anyway? If I'm going to invest my time in 6 more hours of this I want closure, dammit!

Man, people complain a lot about anime! It's not about the plot, it's about the mono no aware.

Anyways...so how bout them spring animes

They make anime in the spring? We should make a thread about that one day.

Writing essays about anything will put you high up there. ABF would be higher if anyone read his.

It's a cold kind of logic, that's for sure.

Totally wrong thread.
Umm.. K-On sucks

I assumed that was valid for all threads.

 

[Lain]

If you're planning on skipping the races then there is absolutely nothing else there. The races are cool, but the characters are shitty and paper thin and the plot is incredibly basic.

Completely agree. The races (with the eurobeat ost going) are the only reason to watch Initial D.
I have to admit that the OST sort of brainwashed me.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Godammit, Infi.

Awww, have a starfish!

 

[Jex]

Man, this looks like a goddam flash game.

Don't underestimate the power of flash-technology!

Hells yeah, Umasou! Time to throw it on the movies-to-watch pile with Gauche the Cellist, Dog of Flanders, Nobita's Dinosaur 06

Spoiler

and Clannad the Movie.

You can't hide your descent into madness!

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

I think doomed's real problem with Madoka is the lack of a creepy 4th-wall-breaking otaku to pant over the girls.

Ah, we've hit on the heart of the matter right here.

I am okay with this. 19~21 is the classy slot for classy people.

 

[Jex]

I9 will ask Hito to go back in time to stop him from becoming a GAF member.

TIME-PARADOX

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous. I love K-ON but not $120 for a two year old 13 episode series love.

Blu-ray singles. Ouch. I thought anime distrbutors had stopped that by now. Bandai, sigh. :-/

They're truly the master of trying to sell to as few people as possible.

 

[Nonoriri]

I am okay with this. 19~21 is the classy slot for classy people.

The only good spot on there is #3.

 

[trejo]

Awww, have a starfish!

Sure, why not.

 

[Jex]

But Eva isn't mecha!

(and away we gooooooooo!)

I don't think anyone but crazy mecha fans care about that distinction, in all honesty.

Considering the roster of "watchable" shows this season (and certain new, uh, posters), I think this level of activity might be maintainable.

A decline is inevitable, and expected, regardless of content. Also, the better shows may well get their own threads, syphoning of the strength of the main trunk.

Haha, I can't see how that would change. Now it's boring, but in English!

K-On! is pretty good, but it's certainly no K-On!!.

Utena or Bebop? You decide!

(Slam Dunk will never happen... sigh. ).

You haven't finished Bebop? Or started it?

I shouldn't really be surprised, you've been too busy with Samurai Girls and Infinite Stratos.

 

[trejo]

The only good spot on there is #3.

Actually it used to be the 11th but it was decided to change it to the 12th.

 

[tafer]

Yup. Got my DVDs through the mail. I don't know if it's still on though.

Hmm... did it took long?

The replace form is up, there is hope!

 

[kiunchbb]

Probably still the best English adaptation of an anime song.

False!

I still love this song.

 

[flawfuls]

Completely agree. The races (with the eurobeat ost going) are the only reason to watch Initial D.
I have to admit that the OST sort of brainwashed me.

Yeah the music was pretty good. Of course the best thing about Initial D was that it inspired the greatest doujinshi ever made:

Someone needs to translate the rest of this.

 

[Nonoriri]

I don't think anyone but crazy mecha fans care about that distinction, in all honesty.

It’s that tominoesque thing, saying it’s Gundam, but basically, it’s giant robot anime, right?

I don’t know what you’re talking about!

Categorizing totally inconsequential mecha things is best left to /m/.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Actually it used to be the 11th but it was decided to change it to the 12th.

19th, actually.

I have a better chance of winning this argument since there are multiple people in that spot.

 

[Jex]

This guy knows what's up.

Spoiler

They have souls. They're not robots!

Man, you're saying robots have no souls? Why? You so some kind of robo-racist?

Does he also skip the sex scenes in hentai?

But where's the theme?

 

[Infinite Justice]

Kaiji is incredibly moe.

You talk like being an elitist is a bad thing.

its not so great.

 

[trejo]

K-On! is pretty good, but it's certainly no K-On!!.

It's like I don't know you anymore.

 

[iavi]

Yeah the music was pretty good. Of course the best thing about Initial D was that it inspired the greatest doujinshi ever made:

Ah, the good ol "multi-track drifting" page, ranks right up there with "obama" in Air Gear, and the Ground shaking bitch slap from Aku no Hana.

Its' hardly like I'm praising Legend of the Overfiend, or something!

Whether or not it's the best, singular, I can't think of a single series I would place clearly above it.

You and a whole lot of other people!

It's the best anime ever!

The most entertaining

its that ranking man.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

False!

I still love this song.

This is the only correct answer. Yu Yu Hakusho's dub is just awesome all around.
