The airing was preempted by the World Swimming Championships.
Im pretty sure thats not the lowest it has gotten but its a good example of how low it can get.
Wait...you did that again? Dude if someone is immature enough to not want to take you seriously because of AN AVATAR then FUCK THAT PERSONS OPINIONS BECAUSE THEYRE WORTHLESS. Thats all there is to it. you dont need "advice" from people like that.
It's gonna get harder to find time to watch animes. (╥﹏╥
Oh god. I dealt with that kind of thing for over two years with working so many extra days work. No time to really enjoy anything. I wish you the best of luck.

LATIN, MATRIPEDICABUS, DO YOU SPEAK IT
I'm aware of the interchangeability of ota/wota but I wasn't aware if he really was talking about the wota used by idols and that's why I checked
Yeah, in the west the term seems to have stuck for idol fandom.
No argument here, MoMusu had been going downhill since 5th gen.

Where's my Fire Emblem Awakening anime?
I'm going to watch this regardless but I still have to ask.
So I was typing my username in the search bar to see who quoted me, but then I thought about leaving out the numbers since that's how people normally type it, and I come across this:
DSFKDFNFKFBDSA FCSAF AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!! How did I miss this!!!??? Thank you based Felix!!! Tomorrow is going to be a wonderful day! Must sleep now so night can go away!
Dat feel when you realize that the anime you are in love with actually has more to it.
These guys have the appearance of a young and very excited studio with a huge amount of enthusiasm and optimism for their success and future. this is what the industry needs right now.
Yeah Im a bit jelly of that. Although I can pretty much talk about most anime with my Mom anytime. Whether shes interested or not she likes my enthusiasm for it. My Dad...well hes not supportive of ANY cartoon and pretty much thinks of this kind of thing as something I shoulda dropped 20 years ago. I had to convince him that a new computer would not further ruin my life (despite this being my computer in a totally different household) and generally have to listen to "you should learn a trade and do something useful with your life instead of wasting your time and money with this shit. Its for babies. No wonder you're so messed up in the head"
Not exactly glowing praise for my hobbies is it?
The internet has brought forth a similar image years ago whose likeness probably was not intended but that nevertheless I will always associate with that pose. yall know the one. Im not even mentioning it. Cannot unsee.
I went to see Mononke twice in theaters. It was so worth it. Still one of my favorite dubs in an anime ever.
On a level of fundamentalist Baptist principles I cannot relate since my family is Catholic (well moms side) so they didnt really push the issue of certain entertainment things being inherently "of the devil" but more along the lines of what I stated above. I was never prevented for enjoying something because it wasnt "wholesome". I was at least allowed to explore, even if my Dad didnt approve.

kurita wins again
A sign of things to come.
I dabbled in a Pokemon TCG and Magic the Gathering. Neither of them really held my interest but literally everybody was playing one of these so I had to find out what it was about.
Thanks for this nostalgia bomb! I love stuff like this and makes me wish I hadnt given away my old nintendo Power magazines
It was a wonderful era the likes of which will never return.
Yes please do!
I was kinda opposed to this design when I saw it. Really didnt seem to fit the style of the rest of the hsow. He always felt like he belonged in a different show. Now I know why. Also I fully agree that the hate for Porun is silly and overblown.

It seems like any time something anime related (or even tangentally, as with TLoU) turns up on the gaming side it doesn't end well and my ignore list ends up that much longer.

At some point I'm expecting Shaoran to grab Eriol by the neck and start shaking him yelling "Who the fuck are you?!" Even Toya knows something's up with the dude. Also he had that one scene with Yukito that was good. He cares so much for him.
90% done with this series now.

I really gotta watch this. More Kurousagi is something I need in my life.
Why did this series have to be so fucking short?
Praise be to ahoges!

Is it possible that every episode will be better than the episode that came before it?? I guess we'll find out!

She really is one of the most adorable characters in all of anime.
I never put anyone on my ignore list. Think of all the gems you are missing out on!
Creative? Unique? Clever?

because asians have no hair up there, and a ton down there.

well if you are a swimmer you should be completely hairless anyhow.

I know. It's just baffling how he's fixated on that as a stylistic hallmark. But then Oonuma tends to make baffling direction choices.
On a related note, a certain gaffer in the figurines thread is working on this gem:

Im tempted to try sculpting myself. Making my own cute things would be fun!

Cajun is right.
If they stop at the avatar or username then they have no reason to be taken seriously themselves
Sculpting is hard.
Already tried but i suck at this. I cant even make a cube properly
It is ! Especially if youve read the books
No, just no, which is sort of the point I think. If anything she has too much cuteness the more I think about it. Been bugging me since episode one.

For what it's worth I still see a lot of it anyway when these people get quoted by other posters.
If only she was a less horrible person.

Sculpting is definitely tough. I might be able to do it because I have very good sense of 3d space and design, despite my eyes really quite sucking at depth perception. how does that work? who the fuck knows. I cant park a car properly.
Too much cuteness? no I dont think so. Shes a rather unconventional kind of cute. The angry self loathing sort. Its more the way her character carries herself than her appearance that makes me hnnngh. shes SO adorable!
Tomoko just wants to be loved.
And love her I do indeed!
That works too I suppose.
Actually it is and I have a real problem with that.

Heck, I just recently bought the Pikachu 3DS XL...no regrets whatsoever!
How so? Please explain.

Indeed and that is a problem, the generic anime cuteness is a problem when she is supposed to be rather plain if not downright unattractive, they seem to reserve that for special moments only.

Show it to me then.
Ive seen pics of the manga and shes pretty cute there also. Am I missing something?
It has been readily apparent from the first episode that she does most of this shit to herself and of of the recurrent themes is he denial of her situation to the point where she blames everybody but the self. Also the fact of the matter is that Tokomo is suffering from more then just a little social awkwardness, she is most likely suffering from one if not multiple undiagnosed metal disorders and really needs professional help. I do not find such things amusing, also, on a meta example the who social awkwardness thing reeks of cynical manipulation of otakus in a similar position. I have coem to hate Tokomo, hate everything about her, and that is what make Watamote enjoyable for me, her suffering, her torment.
http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/GenericCuteness This more or less, I am being told she is ugly or plain or whatever and it just becomes an informed trait because most anime refused to deal with the grotesque.

That should be a blurb for the boxart.
"Mentally disturbed person endures endless suffering and torment. The most enjoyable anime of the year! ~ANN"
We obviously see the show in entirely different ways. thats perfectly alright.
Theres no right or wrong reason to enjoy something.
Also you are talking to someone who thinks some grotesque things are actually cute.

So you have an aversion to cuteness?
