I mean I think the meaning of fanservice is clear enough most of the time to not be problematic. I think its a lot of other words/terms that are issues. Just because "that's the way things have always been" doesn't mean we have to roll over and take it. I'm not saying we need to take ques from the French in this regard but we still can be a little more careful with the words we use. Personal responsibility and all that.

I personally try very hard to not misuse words! If I find I've been using a word wrong, I stop using it incorrectly. Nonetheless, I'm not about to go around complaining at people when the meanings change with context and time.

I didn't accuse you of anything. Nothing I've said was aimed directly at you. This whole time I've been talking in the general sense because I see that exact phrase used all the time. That argument really is just a pet peeve of mine.

Fair enough. I was thrown off because your phrasing implied grouping together people who use that argument and people who use words incorrectly.

It might be an annoying argument, but it is an entirely valid one. A pet peeve of mine is when people repeatedly complain about words having a new meaning, despite that meaning being more than widely accepted by the community who uses it.

It's just dumb in a lot of ways.

It's also not even we are talking about a real semantic change but just silly anime community lingo.

"Fanservice" in reference to sexed up women (and men!) is a pretty commonly accepted meaning even outside of anime, despite your objections.

Fucking cliffhangers man. Lol at Mumei just casually asking for blood too.

Ren is a lady killer at heart. Hibiki is the best part of this show.

What interests me most is how relatively nice everyone online is. The guildmaster gave Rusian a fair description of what what was expected of the members and offered to give him advice if he needed it. Rusian himself helps others and didn't hold anything against Nekohime. Even Nekohime's guards just let him and Ako go without too much fuss. Master's gambling habits are going to rub off on the others. Sette is obviously Nanako. What is interesting is that she immediately clinged to Rusian, which has some interesting real world implications. Ako continues to yandere away.

No, you're the fusion between Kamina and Jotaro.

That's not how fanservice is used outside of anime.

But whatever makes you happy.

Search the word "fanservice" in a DS3 thread and you'll see what it means. Certainly not what you say.

Yeah, my first thought as well. Yandere Ako is gonna go nuts when she finds out.

Here's a theory: Nanako really just wants to hook up with the blond, not Rusian, lol.

This was less boring than I expected.

Tanaka is clearly affected by Narcolepsy though, why doesn't anyone comment on that? What are the teachers doing? Doesn't anyone notice Ohta is clearly in love with him?


Food for thoughts.

Right, this is one of those time to be backing away slowly then.

 

[Just T]

You're impatient because there's nothing going on in this show. At least IMO, no one has any real goals except for the MC and the show hasn't explained why we should care about the kizuna system or how it relates to any of the characters' goals.

Do hope they go more in depth with the Kizuna system soon and set a compelling purpose for the long run.

Damn that was much better than the first episode. I hope it continues more along this line. Lost my shit when he got "possessed". So dumb. I love it.

Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress: 3

Good episode. Got some backstory and it was nice to see Mumei unwind a bit before the demeanor switch lol. Also was surprised Ayame stepped up like that.

i bet they feed the dead pregnant lady to mumei and whatever the main characters name is.

Doubt they'll do it willingly but Mumei gonna do whatever she wants so it don't matter.

 

[Rushersauce]

Shiiiit, so the stone is actually relevant! SHOCKING!

 

[TUSR]

the stone is the key to the basement

 

[TheFlow]

Its pretty samey for the Exorcists storyline field, but it is really enjoyable. I like it.

will give it a watch

 

[Cornbread78]

Kabaneri ep.3
Now that escalated quickly. Still has the high production value, but not as much action this time around. What's up with the cliffhanger? That's it, ruins the experience, dropped like a sack of flour....

If I've learned anything, don't talk about your family when in conflict. Don't talk about how much you like living either.

No matter what you do, never mention that you are only 2 days away from retirement.

 

[pbayne]

Death flags are generally signs of bad writing to me. Its a clear sign of "we didn't actually spend time developing these characters to a point that people are emotionally invested in them so lets shoehorn in some cheap attempts at sympathy in the last few moments." Its pretty cheap and lazy imo.

Though its not inclusive to anime.

 

[TheFlow]

Just finished season 1 of jojo. So fucking good

 

[Cornbread78]

So here's a rec request from my buddy I work with in a genre I know nothing about, lol.

He's looking for a Mecha anime to watch. He's seen all the Gundam's and various othersincluding Cross Ange on my dime, lol. He actually liked it so there, lol. He doesn't mind harem/ecchi crap, and he hates really highbrow philosophical crap. Any good ideas out there?

 

[Crocodile]

Attack on Train 3

• Dat sweet, sweet Araki melodrama <3
• Mumei is like the anti-Mikasa and I love her for that <3 The girl will fight anything that moves.
• I'm hoping the Ayame and Ikoma relationship doesn't take a turn south after things went so well for most of the episode.
• It's still not clear to me how the "virus" works or spreads. I hope they give a sensical answer at some point.
• Please Stuio WIT, don't drop the ball like you always do. This show is good so far, keep it that way!

I gotta say, between "Attack on Train", Jojo, Kivianzer (which is way more interesting and enjoyable than I thought it would be), MHA, CR, Luluco and Dragon Ball Super actually getting good this has been a pretty good season so far. I am pleased

 

[Admiral Woofington]

you know for once I would like for a show/movie to not fucking plant dealth flags up the wazoo.

The way to live in a movie is to never talk about retiring.

Hey look, it's the old people from the original Gundam series wanting to put everyone at risk because they want to fulfill their selfish desires! Except instead of Zeon controlled territory it's superzombie controlled territory..

How the hell did I forget about TTGL... It's like the second anime I ever watched, lol.


He doesn't think he's seen it yet and I believe it's on Hulu, so he'll try that one.

What is that one mecha anime where the highschooler dies and comes back to life able to control his mech

 

[hosannainexcelsis]

You're probably thinking of Valvrave.

A few others that might match the criteria:

• Broken Blade
• Gun X Sword
• Star Driver

Doesn't this happen in Zegapain too?

That, and if you're a nameless faceless mook, never fight a hero near a ledge.

Don't do it.

Attack on Kabane 03

"Give me blood" wat

Also they really needed Mumei to be good with kids before killing the pregnant woman, huh

Still enjoying his, hopefully getting to wherever they're going moves the plot forward because we're 3 episodes in and we don't know what the main story is going to be. Is this going to be 2-cour?
