I have no idea what you mean!
Car x Road or Road x Car? The debate begins.

Oh my.
Car: I don't want to go this way.
Road: You go where I say you do, bitch!
Hm, now the car could be M and the road could be S. The possibilities!
This is an affront to Goddess Hnngzawa! D:
All this S and M stuff reminds me of a scene from Liar Game
"What is S & M?"
"What is S & M?"
Not everyone can turn into a car these days.

Oh no, what am I getting myself into?
Kanon (2006) - 1
This is going to be another one of THOSE shows isn't it? The kind of show that's going to consistently try to kick me in the feels?
So what I saw here was basically the plot to every anime high-school visual novel (in fact that's even where this came from). The kind of plot that will include about 6 females and two guys.
I'm calling it, this is the kind of anime you need to watch with a friend. Only so you can play "Guess who the main character's going to get with at the end!" Also so you can play a good drinking game with this anime. You know when to take a shot.

In what way? Just because you have some horndog pretty boy hounding over an effeminate male trying to put it in from behind 24/7? Shit is shallow as fuck, which totally makes sense why fanfiction websites are plagued with this garbage.

I'll just post what I posted in the Attack on Titan thread. YMMV obviously.
Chihayafuru 2 12:
I'm slowly catching up on this, but I just have to remark that I can't remember the last time that Chihaya took the first card in a match and I'm incredibly frustrated that every single match seems to be taking the same damned pattern of "Chihaya loses the first few cards and is SHOCKU at her opponent's karuta power level -> Chihaya slowly deduces the opponent's play style through an intricate synthesis of MEMORIES, FEELINGS, incredibly minute observations about her opponent, and CSI Karuta psychological profiling -> Chihaya has a moment of self-realization about her own KARUTA SENSE and perfectly counters her opponent's style for a (mostly offscreen) comeback victory". My patience for the actual karuta matches is at an all-time low and this show is lucky that it's so amazing at producing wave after wave of eccentric and endearing minor characters because otherwise it's horribly stagnant at this point.

Females have more skinship, males are all about bromance.
The only problem I have with your typical male pairings is that one usually looks so effeminate it all but looks like a hetero pair.

I agree, especially all the canonical moments included in most series and then how various events even plot related add additional layers of complexity to their relationships, and the way they gaze at each other too. Probably the best aspect to most action and shonen action series, imo.
This is why I wish that it was still possible to get tagged in AnimeGAF.
Which can only be stretched so far, much like the crack pairings fans come up with.

He hasn't even got to the good stuff, and most of the episodes look far better than that in either set of OVA's.
That's like taking a single frame out of David Production's version and basing your opinion of the entire series from that image.

Was going to watch it either way.
It only needs to stretch as far as it needs to fit that pairing.
eeeeeehhhhhhh That sounds like rivalry bromance more than anything. Like Garp and Gol D Roger for example.
Except Naruto, that's just straight up BL.

That's not a very interesting game; the main heroine of Kanon is obvious.

You should post the clip with that "gay kiss dare" thing that they used to do every time one of the character's brothers showed up.
Ah here it is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F3tjVGm58M8
"Gay chicken".
As opposed to classy the stupid lesbian antics where it's just girls mashing their parts against each other? lol
I will say, the "good" yuri is more relationship focused than the "good" yaoi, which is more seme/uke focused. But that's because...
... it is visual coding for the semu/uke relationship, which is what women looking for yaoi are looking for. It's why bara is almost a separate and distinct genre of Japanese gay fiction (well, when it isn't used for comedic effect in your typically homophobic way).

Nothing in Valvrave is a coincidence. It was all planned that way from the beginining!
Ah scrubs, you were such a treasure trove of moments.
I never expected to come out of this little exchange learning something new.

It's also generally better and more interesting.
Though like with all of these, there are good ones and bad ones.

Nice episode, I kinda missed K-ON! Shame that all I have left now is the second set of Ura-ON specials. RIP

It's common knowledge that Yayoi is secretly a fujoshi. Can't be helped!

That's one of the major advantages of having Mellowlink as a protagonist, he has no interest in discussions or arguments. Kind of like Chirico from Votoms.

Don't forget to fund Zach Braff's next movie.
It's no surprise that gay men have different (sexual) desires than straight women with a particular fetish.
It's also harder to find. Other than the yaoi that gets animated and turned into real anime, most of it is just porn of some sort or another. And hey, I watched both versions of Queer as Folk, so I don't have a problem with sex, but the porny nature of yaoi means that there's pretty much no story beyond the Japanese equivalent of a pizza boy showing up and accepting sex from the lonely housewife in lieu of a tip.

you and dakku's dislike of kawaii shotas...
Pizza boy with his dick in the pizza is a classic
Adult females > loli's.
Might as well say water is wet or I don't want to go to jail.
It's no surprise, but i thought there was enough overlap to not create their own genre of sorts lol.

Well, I look at it this way - the men in bear culture is pretty much the antithesis of what most women find (or are taught to find) attractive.
Which is why Kevin Smith likes to joke about how his bear friend went from being rejected by women over and over again to find a new guy to hook up with once he came out. lol
Naw, look at the yaoi today. The female-created stuff is still super thin pretty boys gently going down on each other and such.
That said, I have no idea what the bear culture is like in Japan or in Asia, since Asians seem to be both muscle and fat phobic, so who knows. If real world men in ni-chome actually look like manga/anime yaoi protagonists, I think I would be massively disappointed anyway. lol
If you're honestly trying to rag on girls tribing and saying that guys putting it in each other's asses is better then holy shit. :lol
