The pen name might be misleading, but Gamô Hiroshi is male.

I thought it was never revealed who Ohba really was.

 

[Geneijin]

I thought it was a given that Iroha was not a perverted show on the whole, though. You'd have to be crazy to think so.

Am I going to need to spell everything out from now on?

It is a given, but your statement as I bolded could be read as such a statement saying HanaIro was one, which is why I wanted to highlight why you got the reactions you did over your statement.

 

[Articalys]

I thought it was never revealed who Ohba really was.

It's the most likely scenario given the circumstantial evidence involving Tottemo! Luckyman.

 

[Erigu]

Are you being facetious here or are your implying this is what I think?

No, just something I often see when it comes to stuff like this...
(not sure what's "Engrish" about "Holo" though... or "Horo" for that matter)

I thought it was never revealed who Ohba really was.

Not officially (i.e. by the Shûeisha), but considering the evidence, there's no reason to doubt anymore... Ôba/Gamô doesn't even try to hide it.

 

[Geneijin]

Pfft. Claiming that I would post it once in every new anime season thread? If that's work I want a job in that.

Oh, you meant work as in working? Of course not. I simply meant work as you exerted effort to get that tag.

Don't know what other reason gave you that tag, but it seems like that was the reason.

 

[zeroshiki]

This is like Ashirogi Muto!

Which btw is a terrible name.

 

[Izayoi]

It is a given, but your statement as I bolded could be read as such a statement saying HanaIro was one, which is why I wanted to highlight why you got the reactions you did over your statement.

Fair enough, but I wish people would at least take the time to ask what I really meant if there was any confusion instead of immediately grabbing the torches and pitchforks.

No, just something I often see when it comes to stuff like this...
(not sure what's "Engrish" about "Holo" though... or "Horo" for that matter)

Anywhere that interchangeable "r" or "l" shows up Engrish comes into play, especially with names that are not supposed to be Japanese. Horo sounds more natural and "Japanese" to me than Holo does, which comes across as forced and awkward. It's a matter of preference more than anything. I get that they want the name to sound foreign, but that doesn't mean they have to make it sound stupid.

Oh, you meant work as in working? Of course not. I simply meant work as you exerted effort to get that tag.

Don't know what other reason gave you that tag, but it seems like that was the reason.

That's what I'm saying. I exerted zero effort in obtaining my tag. My merely having an opinion and stating that I would repeat my opinion at some point down the line I acquired a tag. I've seen elaborate joke threads and all kinds of crazy stuff in efforts to get tags, whereas I did virtually nothing in comparison.

ASHIROGI MUTO
GAMOU HIROSHI

One letter short of an anagram.

:O It all makes sense now! There's the Obata connection too.

 

[Articalys]

And finally, I shall link the whole discussion back to the current season of anime (even though it kind of already was, but whatever) like so:

Ami Koshimizu ftw

Spoiler

now to go and actually watch Spice and Wolf

 

[Geneijin]

Fair enough, but I wish people would at least take the time to ask what I really meant if there was any confusion instead of immediately grabbing the torches and pitchforks.

True, but, to be fairer (just wanted to say that), how often will people do that? People will seldom ask that initially unless something prompts someone to ask "joke post?" or the alike.

I've seen elaborate joke threads and all kinds of crazy stuff in efforts to get tags, whereas I did virtually nothing in comparison.

Then you must have missed the other efforts where people did almost nothing to gain their tags e.g. tag fishing threads. There's someone who got his tag for never posting in the related thread (I forget who).

Besides, you're working to maintain your tag right now by holding onto your opinion. I hope it isn't a horrific defeat or a hollow victory

Spoiler

Yeah, it's bad! Leave me be.

 

[Crash Station]

Toriko 5

Coco is awesome.

I wonder up to what capture level the 4 kings can take on. Even a level 21 doesn't seem to be a huge problem.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Yeah, it's an open secret. Lot's of 'wink wink, nudge nudge'.

 

[Solune]

Fair enough, but I wish people would at least take the time to ask what I really meant if there was any confusion instead of immediately grabbing the torches and pitchforks.

To be fair though when the episode with "fanservice" first showed up alot of posters already expressed their distaste, you're just lttp and there are more defenders of the show around now.

Me, I just laugh since it had no effect on me.

hurr hurr.


At least it wasn't anything shipping related....

 

[Joule]

Dog Days 5: Not bad but I was hoping for some more full length fights considering how they set 3 separate battles in the last episode. Insert song~ At least Horie can sing pretty good. Nothing I really wanted to gif this episode either. : (

Hidan no Aria 3: I wonder how many more Speed bomb situations they'll go through before the season is over. Jeez.

People are still watching this?

 

[Joule]

People are still watching this?

I do something of a mst3k with some people once in awhile. And these JC Staff shows make for some terribly good choices.

 

[Infinite Justice]

People are still watching this?

I thought it was only doomed1 tbh.

 

[zeroshiki]

A couple of guys finished Infinite Stratos last season and this one has a Kugiloli. You better believe people are watching it.

 

[Geneijin]

Maybe those watching haven't bothered to post about it or updated their progress on it here.

 

[DrForester]

Holo would be the greatest troll ever if not for the fact that Lawrence is actually smart enough to troll her a few times too (never nearly as well though)

 

[zeroshiki]

Because of the shame?

 

[Infinite Justice]

At least he's improving.

Maybe

Its just i don't remember the fans of Rei on here saying anything else about it but hey.

 

[hellclerk]

Maybe

I don't even watch it for Rie. I watch it because it's fucking hilarious, awesome, and badass. I was expecting bad tsunderes and gun porn going in, and by God I got it! What I didn't expect was what a deliciously brilliant camp the plot turned out to be. It's one of those So-Bad-It's-Good blood pumping action shows. Not quite as good with the style as stuff like Shoot 'Em Up, but this is a serial television show. I think they're doing a great job with their material and format.

 

[zeroshiki]

Its a terrible show with crappy production values and a non-sensical story.

 

[DrForester]

At least he's improving.

He is one of the smartest male leads in Anime like Spice and Wolf. He holds his ground, and isn't the bubbling fanboy most male's in anime become.

Well i did already single you out as watching it (since you posted that you dug it) so you don't have to defend yourself.

Its just the other's zeroshiki implied that i'm wondering about.


I'll possibly check it out eventually.

 

[Data West]

Man... between Gokaiger, Tiger & Bunny and Toriko, Japan's back to having some awesome programming for me

 

[Geneijin]

Because of the shame?

That, and not enough people to talk to about it.

Infinite Stratos was so special.

Its just the other's zeroshiki implied that i'm wondering about.

I'm up to Episode 3.

 

[zeroshiki]

He is one of the smartest male leads in Anime like Spice and Wolf. He holds his ground, and isn't the bubbling fanboy most male's in anime become.

He also isn't useless and celibate and takes as much as Holo gives.

Geneijin has some kind of death pact with crappy anime this season.

I'm up to Episode 3.

See.

True but he can be really "one-track minded" at times due to his trade but at least he realizes that fault also.

Season 3 plz since the novels are done now

That, and not enough people to talk to about it.

Infinite Stratos was so special.


I'm up to Episode 3.

Lol but i could see that as a reason since IS had Dresden, ABF, macodin, etc chatting.

 

[hellclerk]

Its a terrible show with crappy production values and a non-sensical story.

Actually no, it's production values are pretty damned good, hilari-bad CG aside (and even that adds to the charm). I mean, I don't disagree that it's a terrible show, but that's sort of why I like it: It's so bad, it's AWESOME. I just enjoy it for what it is.

 

[Izayoi]

Well, if it says something, Shana is

Spoiler

my waifu

and I could not stomach watching HnA. I'll give it one more episode, but the production values are some of the worst this season, and with stuff like Ore-tachi, that's saying something. JCStaff is a blight upon this world. Just like how they started Merry awesome but then flew straight into the fucking ground for the last half.

I'm hoping JCStaff loses the license to Shana and Ufotable announces that they're doing S3 with all of the old voice cast or something.

Actually, I'll take anyone but JCStaff. Please, someone, anyone. ;_;

 

[Data West]

Also does anyone know when that Sengoku Basara movie is due out on DVD in Japan?

 

[jman2050]

Gonzo

 

[Infinite Justice]

June 4th should be the release date but im not sure if thats the theatrical release only.

 

[7Th]

Also does anyone know when that Sengoku Basara movie is due out on DVD in Japan?

It isn't even out in theaters, man!

June 4th should be the release date i think

That's the theatrical release date.

 

[Data West]

It isn't even out in theaters, man!



That's the theatrical release date.

They sure are taking their sweet time then

 

[zeroshiki]

Gonzo

I will laugh maniacally if what Izayoi asks actually happens and its DEEN.

Hey, they did FSN, right?

 

[Infinite Justice]

It isn't even out in theaters, man!



That's the theatrical release date.

So it was that, thanks for the clarification

They sure are taking their sweet time then

give it about 5-6 months imo

Except that Shakagana no Shana is NOTHING like Hidan no Aria. The former is a relatively sane (if kind of inane) Tsundere magical girl meets MacGuffin boy. While Hidan no Aria is pretty much the same in terms of plot basis, it's totally insane. It does such over-the-top things with a stupid grin on its face with no apologies while back-flipping over explosions shooting two high caliber handguns with pinpoint accuracy. It is in no way realistic, smart, sane, inane, or good. But fuck me sideways if it isn't totally AWESOME. SnS by its tone, pacing, more muted character writing, and predominance of character drama told me to take it seriously. Aria has none of what SnS had. Aria has Hollywood Action Movie pacing, the tone of a show staring Jon Claud Van Damm, Wesley Snipes, Vin Diesel, AND Steven Seagal, extremes of character, and enough explosions to make Michael Bay blush.

Hidan no Aria is just plain dumb fun.

 

[Jex]

Hopefully completely deleted and sent to internet-hell, where it belongs. It was disturbing.

But the scars will last a lifetime.

 

[Geneijin]

Geneijin has some kind of death pact with crappy anime this season.

It's anything but a death pact. I don't believe I've admitted to any of the sort!

Lol but i could see that as a reason since IS had Dresden, ABF, macodin, etc chatting.

Don't forget the anime thread is a long look through and this is GAF where OTs like TWGOK, Gosick, Legend of Legendary Heroes, etc - died.

Doesn't explain OreImo though :lol

Hidan no Aria is just plain dumb fun.

I don't know about plain dumb fun, but I do agree the lack of a serious tone (mostly) makes it easier to accept things happening and follow without as much of a discriminating eye if one finds joy in those sort of animes.

I will laugh maniacally if what Izayoi asks actually happens and its DEEN.

Hey, they did FSN, right?

Yep, and UBW, which needs to disappear. I've been scarred by that face.

 

[Jex]

Well said.

Apart from the actual advert for pepsi they did!

 

[zeroshiki]

DEEN basically had a license to print money and (I assume) a huge budget for FSN and UBW and they still fucked it up. That's not easy to do.

 

[Jex]

I'm not in either Holo or Horo faction.

So you start one war, but now you're in team neutral?

On the contrary, "Holo" comes across as horrendously Engrish to me. Say it out loud. It's awkward and does not roll off the tongue very well. "Horo" is much more natural.

I see this issue isn't very important, at all!

 

[DrForester]

What turns a man neutral? Lust for power? Gold? Or is he just born with a heart full of neutrality?

 

[Jex]

Iroha is nothing like Aria. It's a slice of life starring three young girls, that's the only similarity. Iroha is perverted and has real conflict, things which are not present in Aria.

Hey now. It's a classy show!

 

[Geneijin]

Apart from the actual advert for pepsi they did!

You're just saying that because you're a Sky High fan.

So you start one war, but now you're in team neutral?

It's something that doesn't concern me. Of course I'm neutral.
