Not quite. Check out the Katawa Shoujo thread if you want to see what that really looks like.

This statement is only possible if the person speaking it is not familiar with Sports-GAF.
There hasn't been the requisite ceremonial bloodshed yet. I say we each eat a piece of Ultimadrago's heart because he was the last junior to become active in the thread before the move.
We don't call it "shipping" here so much, but use terms like "yuri goggles".

Only half? We obviously aren't working hard enough if only half of GAF thinks this! But how will we ever reach the other half now, buried alive as we are in Community?!
I'll expand my vocabulary to a suitable level yet.

I've never once set foot in a sports thread, but we're pretty clearly much farther down on the GAF social hierarchy than they are!

I'd suggest eating heart Firemind's heart, but seeing as how he was unaffected by Eiken, it's clearly made of stone.

Zetman 1
Okay, wow, this is like super SUPER condensed. I fear there really wasn't enough time to flesh out the old man
There's also A LOT that got cut out, some vital stuff, some not so vital stuff. Kind of miffed Jin's first act of "heroism" got cut out because it was awesome. Same regarding the
They also changed
I would say it was much better in the manga since it was more intense and really made you care about Akemi.
They also made Jin and Kouga acquaintances, something that didn't happen in the manga while they were kids; something that may cause... complications later on provided there aren't some drastic changes.
Anyway, what they did adapt was still very good. Fights were well animated and they had the atmosphere down. I think I would have rather they take 2 episodes to cover the childhood arc faithfully instead because they could clearly pull it off considering the manga's pacing, but this isn't bad either. Definitely watching to the end even if they decide to completely ignore the source material. Though at this point, I would still say the manga is exponentially better.

before he died. Makes it a bit harder to care.
Player that killed the old man, because Jin was present during that and even fought the guy for a bit.

Akemi's assailant from a common robber to the Player that killed the old guy.

Fate/Stay Night 20:
I would root for
more if, you know, Shirou wasn't so baka. And drawn so ugly. Whoever designed Shirou's anime character appearance needs to be beaten severely about the head and neck. Really, Saber and Rin and Ilya and Sakura are all too good for baka Shirou, which makes him pretty much the ideal harem lead.
Anyways, time for shit to get real.
I would root for
Shirou x Saber

We'll just bleed him out on an altar for the hell of it after we're done with Ultimadrago.

Let's just all take a bite out of cajunator's heart. There is definitely a lot of heart there. And it's nice and tender after being marinated by cuteness for many moons.

With the way things are going, I half expect you to have an Ayu 2002 avatar.
The best fan interpretation of this is that Yayoi is drawing R-18 doujins right there at school.
Always.
Makes perfect sense.
I always wish I was talented in art. I would be drawing doujins 24/7
Hey man we're a pretty dignified community.
You're just jealous of our superior waifus.
Did you hear the one where the real-life Rudy was a jerk who defrauded investors in his sports drink line?

Yo guys, Zetman thread.
It's truly unjust that this thread was locked.
Sean Astin would never do such a thing.

It is...you just have to link to things instead of inlining them!
I like your F/Z avatar. We should all pick a F/Z avatar! I've got Ilya covered, and you've got Rider. All the other important characters need a representative!
Fate/Stay Night 21:
Oh hey, I know why Saber has the ahoge on her head now.
Only an idiot would choose someone like Shirou!
All right, in all seriousness, it's fairly obvious what's really going on now. Just 3 episodes left to hash the whole thing out, I guess.
At a guess, the way the VN works is:
Fate route is Saber route, Unlimited Blade Works route is Rin route, and Heaven's Feel route is Sakura route. This route, the only one covered in the show, is the Fate route. A few little seasonings from the other routes are thrown in, like the whole deal with Rin and Sakura and Dark Sakura get a passing appearance from Heaven's Feel. I wonder if the Shirou you play as in the VN isn't quite so retarded, or if he's only retarded in the Fate route and un-retardifies once you unlock the UBW and HF routes.
Broken blade is great, mahoromatic is gainax hnnnng and sekirei is the least good one.
man... this thread is too tainted.
someone gotta come and blow all this taint away!
I approve of this message.

They rejected dresden's proposal! lol
Arata > Taichi after all.
Black Rock Shooter.
Wonzo's penchant for misshapen, off-model art helps me to recognize him.
I do miss his crying, hunchbacked penguin, though.
Saint Seyia Omega 01
This show carries itself with a lot of confidence. Part of that is because of the history it has, part of it is just that the show seems to believe in itself. I liked all of the galactic imagery, dunno if I'd get tired of it after seeing it all the time but it wove itself into this episode really well at the very least. Music was a little inconsistent, kicked in too late in some spots and I wish it felt more "spacey" or something at times to help carry the cosmic setting, but some of the themes like the OP and the song during the transformation sequence were really strong.
Not really something I was expecting to like but I'm interested and wanting to watch more.

Saint Seiya Omega 1
Honestly, I'd rather just keep watching Lost Canvas. I tried to be cool with the designs but no Pandora's boxes and the way the cloth literally transforms from a pegasus into the spandex and stockings made me cringe. I thought I could manage but even though I liked Heartcatch I see now that I really don't want it in my Saint Seiya.
At least the OP sounds nice.

I think wonzo should have a Kirino avatar to signify Manami's loss.

I don't get it. New threads for new news, single topic threads are okay etc.
