NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO now my Sailor Moon impressions are gonna be disjointed

 

[Ultimadrago]

I hope we can abandon that bullshit in locked thread.

Try not to burst a vessel.

Also what you posted back there was completely unnecessary, inappropriate and childish.

 

[Theonik]

WHY YOU DO THIS ;__;

People shouldn't talk about anime in here.

Sorry, I'll post impressions for my J-Dorama instead.

 

[Dresden]

Having a Precure OT would be nice for people who don't want to post here. Look at the K-ON thread--that's a thriving, sustained community of its own.

It's not like individual posts about Precure would be banned here. But having a thread of its own to acknowledge its growing fanbase isn't a bad idea.

I'll be siding with Ultima on this issue.

Like I said in the locked thread, I really don't mind people posting impressions of a show from a particular franchise, and I don't really know many people who are bothered the existence of said posts either. At least they're actually focused on a particular title rather than just complete fluff!

 

[Hitokage]

It wasn't the fact that she was kissing the hedgehog, no that was the last straw. What bothered people was the entire relationship between her and Sonic, and that she kissed him is what sent the fan base into a spiraling mess of rage and hatred.

I still don't see the problem.

I certainly agree with that. It is time!

I still don't see the problem.

Some people don't understand true love.

I pissed because somebody feel have right to people want to discuss, I'm sorry but that what I feel. Hope mod delete that later.

not really

unjustified (Precure discussion has been around since 7Th) histrionics that only serve to make the thread uncomfortable, kinda lame

I guess we weren't ready for summer?

Or Summer wasn't ready for us!

Well this feels heavily disjointed. A lot happened since I was asleep.

History aside it was pretty harsh and unnecessarily confrontational.

In reality, I'm never ready for summer. :[

I'm watching the English Dub -- It's Hynden Walch voicing Nia.

I see what you mean, though I still like it. I was kind of expecting from the beginning that it would end up going where it has. Predictable, yes, but hopefully even then the execution will be good.

 

[Regulus Tera]

The only time watching the English Dub is justified is when watching something from The List.

My post was the one that started the whole tangent so I feel like I have to step up, lol.
To clarify, Precure posts here don't bother me at all. I wasn't talking shit about it or complaining about its traffic in the thread, it was really just an innocent response to cnet.
I don't think I've seen anyone actually complain about Precure posts, there's no reason to!

 

[Articalys]

It's over, just deal with it. It's monumentally stupid to start the Summer thread when a ton of Spring shows still have two episodes left, but since when has this community made wise decisions?

I'm sure this thread will get locked once one of the mods is paying attention anyway.

Pleasantly surprised to see I was wrong about this. Sanity prevails for once.

There's no way we're pumping 6000 more posts into this thread now

We can do it!

I think I've seen it twice, but it wasn't as dramatic as the splinter topic. But it was like a blip on a radar and it was back to normal otherwise.

I haven't quite hit firehawk12's level of disappointment with the series which would end with me throwing my hands in the air and saying "fuck this" but I am genuinely disappointed that it ended up going down this very particular route. However, I still like the show as a whole. My position is basically that, I didn't want the show to end up like this but at least they've done it pretty well.

,

And this expresses what fertygo was saying without being a dick about it, really (and I give fertygo a pass because of ESL).

As Arti's polls always revealed, lots of people post in and read the thread for different reasons. Everyone gets something different out of following this thread. No-one cares about random films I've watched, and I don't care about smut gifs, and yet the two types of post coexist relatively happily in here.

If there's call for a Precure community, then someone can start it any time they like. In the meantime, it's not as if the discussion is particularly off topic or totally drowning out the thread. And MadP, it's not as if other people are going to stop posting about it if you do, so why not continue to join in the discussion? It's not like anyone holds you personally responsible if other people happen to be interested in what you have to say.

I keep up with the thread every day. Most of what's posted I have nothing to contribute to, and sometimes I find it offensive, or offputting, or just not interesting. But as long as it's within the forums rules... Who gives a toss what someone else thinks? Post away!

Cross-quoting from the other OT.

Peaceiscloser chose Nia over Yoko, guys.

I don't think I can be friends with him anymore.

Also wall of shame moves by too fast and I can't read anything other than Cajunator on it.

Free agency, baybay

 

[madp]

I'm sorry, everyone. I'm really unstable today and so I think that my inhibitions against saying really stupid shit are weaker than normal. It's horribly wrong of me to act like I have any say in whether or not people can freely discuss what they enjoy; I think I'm selfishly throwing something that I like under the bus because I have a perpetual fear of being singularly associated with it by others to the exclusion of everything else when it's just something that I like, no more and no less than any other thing that I like. I know that I'm not personally responsible for the increase in discussion, but I still feel an inordinate amount of guilt over it, and fertygo is right that it's an egotistical attitude.

I'm just going to go spend the next couple of days playing Animal Crossing and hopefully I'll feel better by then.

 

[Hitokage]

It's not even good, though. I have sympathy for people who are just completely sick of seeing it at this point. Having an enormous excess of discussion over a franchise that doesn't embody any of the thread's ideals doesn't really benefit anyone.

You know what is good, though? You know what show you can feel good about other people jumping on the bandwagon for?

Doremi.

What's the point in ascribing such power to yourself if you're not going to use it?

[Tenumi]

I just like watching Ponies Precure. If people didn't want others to post about it, I wouldn't. If there was a Precure OT, I'd post there.

Besides, where and who else will defend DokiDoki and Mana until the end of days?

 

[Theonik]

You know what is good, though? You know what show you can feel good about other people jumping on the bandwagon for?

Doremi.

Fine. You win. I'll cancel my Furry Children love spreading plans for tonight and watch more Doremi.

 

[BassForever]

So how does one know if a show is ending at 13 episodes or going to extend into a 26 or longer run?

Also what should I be interested in for Summer?

Blood Lad, Silverspoon, Highschool of the Dead DxD S2 (need to watch S1 first), and Not Popular all jump out at me as series I plan to read/watch mostly cause I've heard positive things from people in mangaf and have been looking for an excuse to jump start reading them.

Kami-sama no Inai Nichiyōbi, Danganronpa, Kara no Kyōkai, Senyu S2, and Gatchaman Crowds all seem interesting but I either have no idea what they're about and searching either leads me to spoils or uninformative wiki pages. Never seen a Gatchaman before and I'm not sure if this is a good starting spot or not.

Also will probably hate watch/read Rage Town just to see what the fuss is about.

Edit: Highschool of the reading comprehension is clearly the series I need to watch

 

[peaceiscloser]

Wait people have a problem with Precure?

Whaaaat

Also I didn't make the wall of shame ):

 

[Dedication Through Light]

People cant freely post about that which they enjoy and don't enjoy or something? Why feel guilty?

 

[BGBW]

We could of reached the end but E3 seriously damaged this thread.

I blame Animal Crossing personally.

Gargantia ended up being pretty much exactly what I expected it to be from the first 2 episodes. So I can't say I'm disappointed at all, since it wasn't a "bad" expectation either. I wanted it to go in that direction, and it did. Win for me I guess. Maybe people should have listened to what I was saying since it started!

Spoiler

From the first episode it seems rather obvious to me that his Commander who conveniently "sacrificed" himself right before Ledo himself got thrown into the wormhole would still be alive. No one introduces a character like that without having a plan for using him again later. The best outcome would be to have him spend time somewhere else on Earth and turn into some Heart of Darkness style dictator to contrast Ledo's experience of learning to live among peaceful folk.

I also expected there to be some stupid "gotcha" twist which makes the series suddenly seem weird and dark, only for the focus to turn away from it as the show moves towards the climax which would be some sort of large scale naval action setpiece where Ledo has to choose between his past as a soldier and his present as a friend of the people on the Gargantia.

Finally, I was always confident that the tone of the series would very much be about life on the ship fleets, and Ledo coming to terms with society on Earth. It would never return to stuff about the space battle at the start, nor will there be any sort of conclusion or resolution for that larger conflict. It simply no longer matters.

Do you mean Highschool DxD S2? 'Cause I haven't seen anything about a Highschool of the Dead S2.

First of all, I own the bus, please don't throw yourself under it. That's my call and you're not staying under there.

Now then, I don't see why you should blame yourself for exposing other people to something you like, and on top of that, gained more fans of something you liked. It's like a broadening horizons kinda thing. Sharing that with people is more fun than watching it by yourself am I correct? And part of this thread from my 2 OT record so far is showing others shows from the past for them to watch

Spoiler

for the right/wrong reasons

. What you did was basically the norm.

My AC town will be open at request.
