What kind of a show is that? Just looked on Mal, has an okay score but someone recommends NGE, if it is like NGE then I will pass.
This is why people put you on ignore. Kicking them when they're down
Sorry, but TWGOK is to me what SAO is to firehawk. It offends my essence.

It's about nihilism! So fun times.
Like Nisemonogatari.

I don't think that is too acceptable when working with a 10 point scale. At least with a 5 point scale it can be like:
- Hated it
- Disliked it
- Indifferent
- Liked it
- Loved it
My man! You have been very nice and I already said it... but this puts you on whole new level of cool!
You can also use maruman MNEMOSYNE notepads with a not very wet fountain pen (I habitually use one from WÖRTHER BADEN-BADEN with Rohrer & Klingner inks) for a smoother feel and maximum snob-ism. Sorry, I can't avoid loving something like that even on this era!
No one remembers them for works like Mr. Kobayashi's Natsu no Sora. And I precisely think that would be a series right down your alley, firehawk12!
Always reminds me of this video collection of pieces from such a genius animator:

Was all the first print mostly LEs or something, or are the fans that rabid?

I finally worked out a deal with my sister to share her Netflix with me so I could rent Revolutionary Girl Utena, and now I see it says "DVD availability date unknown." fml.
Is there a legal, inexpensive way of watching this series?

They shouldn't have even bothered printing the regular editions of the BD. lol
Having their memories get erased is pretty silly. It's like Amagami SS but somehow worse because of the fact that it's all one continuity.
If you're a nerd, you're going to buy BD and then buy the LE because it came with the giant book that contains storyboards for the entire movie.
Buying the boxsets?
- DIAF
- Haaaaaaaaaated it
- This is pretty bad no lie, but I'm going to watch another episode in case it gets good again
- Disliked it, not much else to say
- What makes a man neutral? Where they just born with a heart full of neutrality?
- Could care less but not much less
- Liked it, but not like liked it, you know?
- Definitely liked it, here's my number in case you want to meet up some time later
- Loved it, but not in love with it
- omg u so fine let me get at that, let me touch you

anime of the year! it deserves sales on the same level as Totoro.
That is stupid, but the thing that really offends me is that it teaches that you actually can learn how to interact with girls from video games. That and the premise makes no sense when the "real" girls act exactly like typical anime girls anyway.
140k first week is really impressive. I think that beats both Nanoha's and Haruhi's movies. I should look up Summer Wars's numbers for comparison's sake.

Read the manga.
That stops happening.
Once again, you're missing the point, but I guess other people failed at convincing you before, so I'm wasting my time.

The fact that girls he was "conquering"/"liberating" were also anime girls made me consider the possibility that this is all some kind of self-aware parody.
Maybe the manga will end and it'll turn out that the entire run of the manga was just an extremely long dating sim game about a guy who plays dating sim games.
Yeah, I know, but then with all the
goddess stuff

You mean that manhwa about the guy who knows how to fight people in real life due to his abilities in fighting games isn't true? I can't use my skills in fighting games to beat people up in real life?

The last panel is the mangaka looking up from his game and smiling at his many wives in cosplay as the girls from the game!

Not sure if serious, it falls apart around the midpoint of the scale. MAL's scale is better.

It's parody. You aren't supposed to take it so seriously. Not once is it telling people to go out and treat real girls like dating sim girls. This isn't some thought-provoking, message-filled series, it's a dynamic take on the harem genre that's just fun and sometimes has heartwarming moments.

Probably a manga thread thing, but didn't you find the conclusion to the goddess arc a cop-out?

Well, I'd probably put it above "Buy it" if it were really an option!
Parodies are supposed to make fun of their object, not just be them.
I was bored, so I compared MAL and ANN's ranking systems.
MAL is pretty straightforward:
10 - Masterpiece
9 - Great
8 - Very Good
7 - Good
6 - Fine
5 - Average
4 - Bad
3 - Very Bad
2 - Horrible
1 - Unwatchable
ANN is more interesting; the site code reveals that the scale technically goes from 1 to 11, and while on the show pages, it seems to just have simple descriptors for each ranking, when you're actually rating shows the descriptions are more... elegant:
11 - A Masterpiece, exquisite beyond words
10 - Excellent, should be in anyone's collection
9 - Very good, don't miss it
8 - Good, worth seeing
7 - Decent, I didn't lose my time
6 - So-so, it didn't really grab my attention
5 - Not really good, but not a total waste either
4 - Weak, I wish I'd done something better with my time
3 - Bad, really not recommended
2 - Awful, should be avoided at all costs
1 - Worst ever, maybe useful as sadistic torture device
