That has been going on for several seasons lately. Missions aborted early and such.
While this is comparing apples to oranges (no not tomatoes Corvy Kun) Pacific Rim is a TON of fun. Its one of the most fun movies Ive ever seen. I enjoyed it on a level I havent enjoyed an action movie in a long long time.
The entire show is based around this gif:
The show goes to ridiculous lengths to build up certain plot points only to make the end result amazingly anti-climatic. The whole Elena and Truth subplot don't amount to jackshit and were a waste of both the story's time and the audience's.

Can't think of many people that find EVA 'fun' per say.

Quick Reply > Thread Updater.
Thread updater breaks multiquote.
Therefore; it isn't an option.

Not on the wall of shame this time.
Aww yeah, i'm slowly on my way to normalcy.
But that means less AWESOMEBEAR in this thread
I just noticed that Pixiv just started a Revolutionary Girl Utena art contest, with the winning entries getting displayed at an exhibition and the winners getting a high-quality print of their illustrations autographed by Ikuhara, manga artist Chiho Saito, or character designer Shinya Hasegawa.

If ever there is a way to feel inferior as an artist lol.
Such a lovely gallery though.
Utena was one of the first anime characters I ever tried to draw. What that says about me I dont know.
But that means less AWESOMEBEAR in this thread
That is pretty tragic.
(Also, 50ppp Default Theme vanillaGAF is the one true path)

The only subplots that have any significance to the end are established in episode fucking 2, and everything with Generation Blue, Elena, Truth, the Secrets, the Quartz, the Japan/Okinawa/USA geopolitics, and everything else were completely meaningless, and most of them have barely any significance to whatever the larger "message" of the ending was.
The show feels like the writers were just making shit up episode by episode, and didn't give any thought whatsoever to how to end things until the post-22 hiatus. And even then they had no clue what they were doing.

Yay new thread. Didn't make the wall of shame for the last one so I guess I've got my work cut out for me this time...
I just noticed. The last few threads were created when I was asleep. :lol
I generally don't multiquote, and when I'm doing it it's normally before I turn on the updater, so I don't have any issues. It would be rad if they got fixed to work together tho (can they?)
Not even quick reply? smh

These all seem pretty legit to me.
(DISCLAIMER: I haven't actually seen any of the movies on the right hand side of the equations.)

Romanes Eunt Domus
Sanctioned lynch mobs.
I missed the changeover cause I was watching Pacific rim. I figure thats a pretty good excuse heehee.
As for SAO, sorry but thats a show Ill only finish when my entire other backlog has been watched. i.e. never.
Since K-On became so successful, KyoAni has stuck a little too close to those designs for everything, with mixed results.

It's true.
Only if you built updater into the quick-reply script. (or vice-versa)
The skirts are real. It's the pantsu that's fake.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
The only way to win with pantsu is with no pantsu.
I find avatars with Isabelle from Animal Crossing creepier for some reason. [/shrugs]
This is so overused by now but its still kinda hilarious.
Normally thats how new threads start off. Very very fast.
There were a couple of cuts in Tamako that were extremely exaggerated about this. I don't generally mind it otherwise.
Also what did you think about episode 9?
AO is a perfect example on how not to tell a story. Instead of providing emotionally resonant storylines or answers, all the mysteries were answered with more mysteries. As I noted when watching, the execution feels like Lindelof. The show is just treading water for most of its run and has no clear end goal in mind or even theme. It throws in a lot of concepts such as politics but doesn't do a good job fleshing out those concepts and so it leaves a bunch of half assed things that only serve to waste time.
At least the show was nice enough to retcon itself out of existence.
Past your actual birthday or not, I'll wish for you a happy day anyway... you, the cutie kayos90!
One thing they at least changed is that 'LA FOLLETTE REVOLUTIONNAIRE' subtitle.
Regulus Tera
Romanes Eunt Domus
Follette sounds slightly sexy...
Doesn't seem to stop people from reading/watching Attack on Titan.

The S2 episode 7 is even better than this one, with even less pantsu.

All of the above is true.
I'm really skinny looking. not anorexic though, although people often wonder.
(I do not starve myself at all whatsoever)
Episode 2 takes a bit of a step back but episode 3 brings the goods again.

Not just an elementary school girl but a loli elementary school girl!

What show is this?
Arent those redundant terms? a loli is a young girl. so a loli elementary school girl would be a young elementary school girl.

It's the manga I just posted.
Joshi Shougakusei Hajimemashita, or A Game of Panties if you follow ManGAF codenames.
But you can have a 9000 year old loli demonlord.
It is necessary.
See above!
"loli" carries connotations of being sexually-portrayed and attractive, so technically it's not entirely redundant.
...Either way, I think I may have to check this manga out.
I thought that was the show Colorful? Well colorful did that sorta thing first.
Anko is cute. Overall neither this episode nor the whole anime is my favourite. Enjoyable, funny and cute, but others are better. Before TM I watched Girls und Panzer, and the latter is quite a pleasure.
I liked that little part where Anko yells into the cup phone thing. Her facial expression was the best. Dunno why I remember that specific part lol.
I would say the most offensive... actually... second most offensive thing AO did was make
POINTLESS
Truth out to be the bad guy the entire show. The entire cast was fighting desperately to defeat him only for him to turn into some pointless villain with no aspiration, motivation, etc but to be nothing and eventually he ended up being some stupid ally AI in the end. That was fucking stupid and made the previous episodes completely pointless.
