No, this is what anime does to people:

HOLY...lol

 

[Novid]

Male heterosexual moe fans are frequently made fun of. Being called manchildren, basement dwellers, etc. It seems any anime journalist that gets paid actual money for their content have a negative view of heterosexual moe fans but have gone on the record of saying they support homosexual marriage (and have homosexual friends).

So there is this kind of weird morality they have where heterosexual moe fans are sexist and misogynistic (or at least of supporting such content), so their is a disapproval of moe fans for adhering to traditional sex roles, while the same person who disapproves of moe fans for that embraces homosexual relationships (either actually or by way of approval for their friends and others to do so).

And People say my posts make no sense.

Not enough Spinzaku.

Am surprised at how the one piece dvds are like 300 episodes behind the tv, I wonder how many ep they contain.

As for The Terminator discussion earlier, it's been so long since I've seen the films but one thing I've wondered is why doesn't Skynet just

Spoiler

send back a nuclear bomb? If it knows which city, then instead of running around trying to find the correct Sarah or John Conner, why not just blow up the whole city and just get it over with quickly?

I suppose you could use the arguement that you wouldn't even have a film in the first place then.

It's the same reason that Terminators show up naked and weaponless. Unless it's covered in organic material, it won't survive the time travel process.

Then again, the Kyle Reese police station interrogation in T1 sort of lampshades the whole thing.

Probably a matter of energy usage too.

Shit. No. I forgot. Brb while I read the premise.

EDIT: Uh... not really interested.... Sorry. Anything else?

The time machine was about to get blown up, so they couldn't make something new like a flesh-coated nuke.

Am surprised at how the one piece dvds are like 300 episodes behind the tv, I wonder how many ep they contain.

The Log Collections all seem to have about 20 episodes or so on them, but these are rereleases rather than the main DVD release. The show's only about a year behind (50-60 episodes?) on general DVD release - episodes 500 to 503 were released on DVD last week.

If I recall the K set is really nice, selling quite a bit with still nary an episode to air. All my others are doing so well.

 

[Razgriz-Specter]

Yeah. I watched the first 4 episodes. I didn't like it all that much...

You should try to finish it, it isn't too long and the ending is worth it imo.

Can someone explain the point of the Crunchyroll free trial to me?
on the PS3 app just navigating menus I keep getting popups telling me to get a full access membership.

Naruto SD 19

Perhaps the best episode yet, the second skit was hilarious, and that Tales of Graces F attachment in it (watermelon on heads). Naruto nii-chan and Konohamaru always bring such great comedy to the series that it makes it so refresching and hilarious, even better two skits on the beaches. Several moments with them in the beach survival had me laughing alot.

My wish was finally granted

Spoiler

Sasuke!!!! just remove Sakura but still

 

[Unknown Soldier]

If you haven't watched Kara no Kyoukai and you're watching Tsukihime, well, I'm not sure what to tell you. Except stop.

Not surprising,show is slow and boring not to mention it drags out.

Phi Brain 2 - 18

The entire discussion around who would eat who was hilarious, especially, Kaito eating Ana, surprised they didnt do my favorite Kaito eating Gammon.

The actual puzzle concept was pretty interesting and kind of cool. Herbert Muller sama actually has good ideas

Spoiler

shame it looks like he and Kaito may have met a really unfortunate fate, I hope he manages to stay around and can be saved as he'd be a really competant Giver against Kaito

.

Yoshio-kun is as good as Okabe-san (s1)

 

[Hellsing321]

I think the more fitting and voncoluted analogy would be that you're walking naked across the country as a van follows you and out the windows are two men with waterguns squirting warm syrup on your back and as night falls they light lamps so that bugs crawl all over you as you struggle to get to your destination.

This is correct but that that makes getting to the destination so much more rewarding because then those two assholes get their ass beat by your posse once you arrive.

The Phi Brain s2 OP is really detailed I noticed with the scrolling words.

What exactly is this eyepatch-moe show about?

Basically, it's about kids who have delusions of grandeur. Kid A has mostly gotten over it, and he's dating Kid B who still has them, and then Kid C decides to join the fray, being the most afflicted. It sounds dumb as hell.

I don't think Kid C will appear because apparently she doesn't appear until the second novel, which isn't being covered by the adaptation. Personally, I've seen anime with worse premises that have ended up fun to watch. I've also seen anime with worse premises that have ended up awful though, I guess.

Also, eyepatch moe is moe.

I don't know about you, but I'm only watching classy shows in fall, like TLRD and I'm her brother, but as long as we're in love it shouldn't matter.
