Wooooo tsunderes and gun porn~! I know the plot is going to be mindless bullshit, but at least it looks that the main dude's APS isn't going to be overbearing, and also, tsunderes, gun porn, and hilariously short skirts that somehow manage to not show panties!Dresden said:
Eh, I tend to have to explain it, even to my own English profs... Sometimes they even have some trouble conceptualizing the modernist Grand Narrative. It's kinda funky. Anyway, I tend to use it in conjunction with Jungian archetypes. It can create some pretty interesting stuff like that. I wrote my theory term paper on moe based on that sort of literary understanding.Jexhius said:

To be fair, I've only read a number of detailed posts explaining it. I'm going to order "Otaku" when I have some spare cash.doomed1 said:
I actually meant to cut it down because it was turning into a bit of a rant. However the processing of editing it down actually generated new ideas. Maybe it'll be finished sometime this year, with nice sub-headings and everything.icarus-daedelus said:
Kaiji is always usually just an angry punk when he isn't in a gambling situation. But once he's placed into a serious business gamble his powers awaken.Instro said:

Ah, of course. Buy it, it's a great book, I was just disappointed that it was published stateside in 2009, but its original publishing date was like 2001. I DO sort of want to send my paper to the author to see if I can get any pointers though. I kind of expanded and added to his theory by adding another tier to the creation of small non-narratives from the Grand Non-Narrative.Jexhius said:

Kaiji S2
Aw man, they didn't show the shifting of the powers with Tonegawa's group. It was nice to know Kaiji dealt a major blow to those bastards and they omit it? Not only that, but his reintroduction was A LOT more badass in the manga.
Still can't wait to see how things play out. And what was the deal with that ED :lol

They'll probably highlight it more in the Pachinko arc where it'll be relevant, but yeah missing out on all that damage Kaiji did to certain parts of the organization blew.cosmicblizzard said:

Honestly, they should have skipped the recap and just animated the beginning proper. Then again it really isn't relevant to the current arc so I can understand glossing over it and changing that section.Hitokage said:

I'd have no problem with them omitting the damage Kaiji dealt to the group if the first season didn't end on such a downer. As it stands, they're portraying the dude as powerless when he's far from it. Hard to get motivated to continue when the audience thinks the guy is almost guaranteed to lose again.
Fortunately, they'd be very wrong.

I think I'm going to like Tiger & Bunny. Wish that one guy wasn't called Fire Emblem because I'll think of him when I play those games.

Very true, but they skipped Kaiji's Endou harassment. The bog will be glorious as fuck though I can't wait.Dresden said:
I guess I'm just a bit peeved since I thought it was a nice start to the arc. Certainly isn't make or break material though.Jexhius said:
Gintama Movie
I'm amazed I watched through all this, for one I generally hate going through something I've already seen which is why I watch through most shows once, and once only, and I didn't take to the One Piece Movie 8 (or 9 or both) very well because it basically did what the Gintama movie did turned an arc into a feature length movie, and just skipped them altogether, I must have really liked the Benizuka arc more than I realised.

Yeah, it's good stuff. I'd actually post my paper right here, but it's back on my tower. Maybe I'll post it later if people want to read my 2009 opinion on moe.firehawk12 said:
Oh, I don't really mind, I just think it's funny how they end up sexualizing it. Great use of the Zetai Ryoki for the holsters though. draw the eye that way.Geneijin said:

Well sure, and there was alot of that in K-On (probably in the gag comic too) and Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei (damn you Mr. Kumeta!). I'd honestly say it's more of a character and narrative choice than a "OHES NOES, WE CAN'T SHOW PANTIES" deal. Overbearing panty-shots would take away from the tsundere any any seriousness the show wanted to portray. Add to that, regular teasing of panty-shots would be a great running gag for a tsundere to deal with.Geneijin said:
BTW, is anyone but the thread snobs interested in my academic paper on moe?

Veggie Anime Thingy: Amazing. Sad to see these end, but it was money well spent (by the Japanese Government. Well, maybe).
Speaking of which, I'm done! I had an 11th hour breakthrough after scrapping my attempts to to lodge all my complaints into one unified theory. One complete reorganisation and re-draft later and I'm left with a relatively tidy 2477 words. Now it's just time to pull some pictures.icarus-daedelus said:

Top half of Class B and above from my rankings.
Right, well it took a bit of canoodling with google docs to get the two pictures I have in there (had to get rid of the captions), but go ahead and take a look. I'm pretty proud of it (I should be, I got a flying A+ on it), but I should really re-write a few of the parts to provide a better perspective on alternate interpretations. Keep in mind, my tag applies to this quite a bit (which is funny because my theory teacher was flamingly gay). Word count is about 2500. Enjoy~ (and comment if you like)

Why not do both?
