Remember, Drago: if you're frightened about jinxing your run toward full membership, the one way to get out of junior member status early is to do something so outrageous that it gets you tagged. Give it your best shot!


I think this is what happened to me. I came aboard, mentioned that I only watched the dub of Utena and preferred it that way, and found myself with a shiny new tag!

It's hard to disappoint me since I have a wide variety of tastes and I thoroughly enjoyed the first episode, so if you say it gets better... I'm on board.


There weren't many characters introduced, but he certainly seemed to be the one with the most personality and pizazz.



I'm prepared for the worst but judging from the praise it got and all of these replies, I should probably prepare for the best.


That's one way to put it!


To be fair, I think we'd all rather the fabulousness over the slime. But both are exhilarating!

You guys got me excited to watch episode 2 so I hope you're all happy!

I like you junior. You even have a nekomimi girl in your avatar. We can be friends.

For anybody here who's a gundam fan, would you recommend that I watch the entire first series or just the movies that kind of summarize everything?

Didn't duckroll have a penguin avatar for a while?

Surely Ultimadrago harbors an opinion so outrageous that it would do the trick. He just has to wager whether or not making it to full member is worth the eternal shame.

It'd have to be at truly obscene opinion to stand out here.

Hoo boy,...I think I have too many, yet nothing too obscurely great. Plus, now it'll look like deliberate fishing which wouldn't get me anywhere. Oh what to do!

Can't I just set myself on fire like Jintor!

Just watch the original movies - the pacing is much better than the television series, and it makes a few minor story changes that are considered canonical in the UC time-line.

For First Gundam, watch the movies, the TV show shows its age and is only really interesting for historical nitpicking.

If you like them, move on to Zeta--the TV show's the better option there, it holds up a lot better. After that, Char's Counterattack.

then come back to us so we can have the once-a-thread flamewar about which UC OVAs are the best.

Everything is tsundere to me
You can't understand this show unless you were fat, had little sisters, and were in a band.
Actually, I'm not fat! I'm just commenting on the MC, everything else might

get good in games -> chicks and lolis all over yo dick
Well, this certainly will make the show more interesting...
I'm interested more in the main character than the rest of the cast and how they react to him.

Of course I haven't watched S2, but from what I've heard, a part of what's wrong with the second season is exactly that it IS more like the manga, given that S1 of the anime is generally regarded as being better than the manga ever was...
It really depends on what you mean by "better". They're... different. They're trying to do slightly different things at different times, and yes, the narrative sometimes loses focus, but I wouldn't put one over the other because each uses the strengths of their individual medium in different ways.

Better eternal shame than eternal junior.

That's the spirit.

Yeah, cajun had it pretty easy if all it took was for him to say that he prefers Utena in English. It's become an incredibly crowded field for shocking opinions since his rookie days here.

I still believe that Ultimadrago can do it if he just puts his mind to it.

OreImo is the the best anime ever since it weaves a moving, believable story about the many facets and intricacies of a deep, emotional bond between siblings and their struggles to be accepted in the judgemental Japanese society towards otakus?

Hmm...that isn't really obscene though...

That tag is different from cajun's current one now right?

and Ultimadrago, ganbatte!

Yes he was part of a trifecta of Pengus along with nonoriri and...somebody else.

I wasn't even trying to be outrageous. I was raised on the Utena dub and grew to love it :(

THE MY BIG SISTER CAN'T BE THIS SHOUNENBRO SAGA: NIGHT ONE

I think you all have the mistaken impression that she's the Kirino in this relationship (minus the incest). I'm the one hiding my filthy anime habit from a family who doesn't understand--she thinks I only like Bleach and DBZ, just like her!
watch utena then!

Try harder. Something that would make people on MAL or Animesuki gasp in horror.

though those kind of opinions tend to be the ones that gain you acceptance here, so be creative!

watch utena then!

I'm actually considering it, and I won't give a damn how uncomfortable it makes her.

Come to the "spewing angry rants about nisioisin" side , we've had animal crackers since before they were cool.

Key anime are just sappy melodramas with heroines that are fundamentally flawed one way or another.

Angel Beats is horrible and should be killed with fire.

This is too hard

I don't think there's anything that can stirred up animesuki nor MAL.

Saying something bad about AnoHana would probably do it pretty easily, but that falls under "things that just make you a normal AnimeGAF member". You're right, it might be an impossible feat.

One day you will wake up to find that your bear has turned into a kuma, and there is nothing you can do to stop it.

Translator's note:

......no, I can't do it.

Steins;Gate 20

Woah.Woah.Woah.Woah.What?

People who've watched Gate, were there prior hints behind this
Braun being F.B.
?

Whisper of the Heart...no, I can't lose Femmeworth!

Panty & Stocking is the best comedy of the last ten years! (...okay, that one was a terrible lie)

The Blood C film will be better than Paprika! (Too easy...)

It's too haaaard!

I was pretty shocked myself.

Azumanga Daioh is a bad show! (My debut post in AnimeGaf!)

WHAT? My heart just broke ;_;

It's like you're trolling me today, ultimadrago.

oh god..NO!

Anime finds a way, it always finds a way.

Ano Natsu de Cat Planet Cuties Onegai Furry 1-2

I think this will stay on my radar. Funimation just put up the dub of the first two episodes of Cat Planet Cuties and those episodes went by fast. A good chunk happened and the humor has its strengths in the dialogue and its delivery (particularly for the uncle). As for the dub, the two leads are solid as well as the uncle and the supporting cast is hit or miss but I'd say more hit than miss. Interesting that Aaron Dismuke (Al from the original FMA) is the lead character this time.
 
One Piece Marineford Arc


FINALLY finished. The pace was glacier at places and more than once did I poke at my player thinking the video froze when it was really just a pan of a still image of battle >.>"

Still... all the new folks were all interesting and will probably pop up again in the next 500 eps/chapters. And I was surprised how I didn't mind how some attacks took AN ENTIRE EPISODE (maybe I should go watch dbz again someday ;P).

I'm fitting in!

Mawaru Penguindrum Episode 2
C5gDP.jpg

That Survival Strategy happened way earlier than I expected. Overall, I got a few laughs out of the episode but I think I enjoyed Episode 1 a tiny bit more. It was nice to see #1 and #2 get a lot of screentime. But let's get serious here,
they introduce a character who "probably" has the Penguin Drum, who at first seemed like the courageous and mysterious chick that usually shows up in media. But then during the same episode she's introduced, it turns out she stalks Kanba and Shoma's homeroom teacher and is totally creepy?

I can already tell I'm going all the way to the end with this.
