Look, I know this is hard for you guys to figure out, but you don't have to watch something if you don't like it. That way, you save yourself time that you can use to do something more productive, and let those who actually want to enjoy a show to do so.

I watch it in hopes that there will be a fight scene. If I watched it and I didn't like it, I believe I have the right to express that.

 

[FO-totality]

Isn't Rooster Teeth the same crew that did Red vs. Blue way back when? I guess they had to move onto something else eventually.

Well considering they also got into the Let's Play/Achievement Hunter nonsense and basically rode that out of a while, I think this is them trying to go "SHIT we need to go back to what we we're doing...but different!"

or not, I have no idea.

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

So ANN did an interview with Vic Mignogna and it got weird when Zac decided to ask him about his Christianity. In fact, it became a twenty minute "thing", for lack of a better term.

Not totally awkward or combative, but still a but ranty and martyr-ey.

Why you would even ask is something else entirely though, because the answers are completely predictable.

Did they also ask about him having underage fangirls in his hotel room while drunk?

 

[Shard]

I haven't seen this week's episode, but this was foreshadowed a while ago. I expect a face turn by the end of the series though.

Spoiler

The thing is, it isn't a heel turn, this isn't a "turn to the darkside" type deal, this is a fundamental difference is personal philosophy. Sonora is the only one who really gets where Yura is coming from now, having seeing basically the same thing happen with Rin and that is Yura does not know how to wind back and relax and have fun with the game. Conversely, and the rest of the club need to called out on this, they do not understand her, they do not understand her drive, they don't not understand that cheating to win has left her with no honor and might as was worse to her then a loss and they churlishly dismiss all of that. Moreover, the reason, the biggest reason is Yura feels accomplished at C3, indeed she now feels that C3 is holding her back and wishes to be on Team Rin because she sees that Rin holds herself to a higher standard and discipline which she also desires. The point I am going for her is her defection to Team Rin feels like such a natural and logical piece of her chracter development and the rift between her and the rest of C3 is only going to grow now, that I would say that any sort of rejoining the team without proper reconciliation would be very cheap and lazy, and I do not put it past them to do something like that.

From what I understand, its mostly done by a different group within Rooster Teeth. So its not like the same guys doing everything in the building.

when was this...inquiring minds want to know.

I heard Saban was also in the room.

This came up in IRC and no. lol
So much drama in the VA world... it's almost as bad as that Haruhi girl and her sex scandal!

Well, the reason that it's a heel turn is precisely because we all know that she is wrong. Win at all costs vs playing for fun. It's not that hard to see which is the right way to look at sports.

Hell, it's basically the plot of every single Mighty Ducks movie. lol

That said, I prefer this sport story to the one in Free! at least.

I don't want to watch WataMote but I must make sure my hatred is continued to be vindicated since so many people bang on about how "good" it is.

There is a definite lack of moralizing going on here, also, the C3 Club isn't in the right either.

So you watch it to yell at people that disagree with your opinion?

Fuck you all, I'm going off for the night. Maybe watching some stuff tomorrow will help me feel better.

People have a right to watch whatever the like and praise.criticise it as much as they want. Please don't try and guilt people into not criticising something just because it hurts your feelings.

 

[Shard]

You are really surprised at this? Yes, I do it for accuracy and to not fall into the trap of complaining about shows I do not watch.

Besides, telling people not to do something is basically the best way to get them to do it.

is that a tsundere comment ?

Are you tsundere for the watamote anime ?

"it's not like i'm watching this anime because i like it or something ...don't get the wrong idea !"

 

[firehawk12]

Again, I haven't watched it yet, but I find it hard that the evil team isn't evil and the Sawashiro team isn't good.

That said, I would actually be surprised/impressed if the show didn't take a position or actually said that winning is more important than having fun. Because no one does that. lol

 

[Joe Molotov]

4 day weekend, starting tomorrow.

I've already finished GOTY Saints Row IV, so it's time to anime up this bitch! On the agenda:

Lupin III (Series I) - I'm on Episode 5

Dirty Pair - I'm on Episode 17

Paradise Kiss - I'm on Episode 4

I may start something new this weekend as well, we'll see how it goes. I'm open to suggestions.

Spoiler

The winning is more important then having fun angle is explored in great detail at the beginning and to Yura, the answer is the third option. Winning was more important then having fun, wining without honor was worse then losing.

I don't think I have ever really expounded upon any sort of positive on Watamote, I guess I can say it isn't dull, most of the time. That Summer episode was really fucking dull though.

Free! is so weird as a sport story. Like...most of the time the series just seems super disinterested in the act of swimming itself.

Yami looks so sad and empty when she's not trying to kill people. I guess it's just how she approaches life.

It's only # episodes long. How bad can it be?

The only thing I don't like about Hyouka is that it's almost too good.

It has Miyukichi in it, how bad can it be?

I take the third as the same as the first though.

Well, it gets much less interesting when sports dorama happens anyway.

fat mayaka > drunk chitanda

recorder and randoseru mi 8

hahah i get it he's a paedophile!!111

Senyuu 22

The gang's finally back and the shows much better off for it too.

Ojamajo Doremi #25

Meanwhile the plot line of Lets Kidnap Hana continues, we gain Akatsuki, a wizard who falls in love with the Battle Rangers.

And he's an infiltrator, much like certain Precure villains. Anyway Doremi might score with him! Onpu certainly doesn't think so though

Spoiler

She wants Doremi for herself

Also more Merchandising, new cell phones! Now we don't need to be with each other!

 

[Branduil]

The jokes in that recorder and randalls show sure seem varied and original.

 

[Articalys]

It's going to be somewhat disappointing if FREEing never makes a Free! figure. Though they have made Freezing figures.

 

[Branduil]

Don't talk about the secret best pairing.

That works but the problem is that Satoshi/Chitanda is just too weird to think about.

 

[Articalys]

Daisuke Sakaguchi and Satomi Satou hosted the Hyouka radio show together, though. I think. Hell, they even sang a theme song together for it.

edit: I swear, why do I bother to look this stuff up if no one gives a shit...

 

[Shard]

I take the third as the same as the first though.

It is not that simple, which is why this was a really good episode.

 

[cajunator]

Eh, it's no Last of Us.

Thank god its not. That was a terrible movie.

But i loved that anime.. full of suffering , cries and a whole bunch of Cg

I bet Mayaka is the dominant one in bed heck do Oreki even have energy to do it?

 

[KuwabaraTheMan]

Don't talk about the secret best pairing.

It's not even a secret. Kind of the obvious best pairing.

 

[Soma]

Houtarou X Irisu was a better pairing.

No need for symmetry, Chitanda gets an arranged marriage and Satoshi dies alone.

I'm not sure which of them is getting the worse deal in that.

I got around to writing up an extended review of Jewelpet Kira Deco, in case people here haven't had enough of me mentioning it.

 

[Defuser]

It's a shame Hyouka won't get a sequel never or in looooooong time. Meanwhile Chunnibyou gets 2 seasons and a movie.

 

[Dresden]

It's not even a secret. Kind of the obvious best pairing.

But the obvious best pairing is . . .

Houtarou X Irisu was a better pairing.

That said, my preferred outcome, romance-wise, for the cast would be for them to go their own ways in the end. No need to marry your highschool hookups.

Nisemonogatari 5

Some of this stuff is getting a bit too weird. The towel wipedown for his sister and then he was about to kiss her...I know what he's trying to do and this is mostly benign (well, relatively speaking), but still...yucky.

But yeah, this Kaiki guy is pretty damn evil. And Karen actually has a bit of a point when she said she couldn't tell herself "Hey here's this bad person doing evil things but I'm not strong enough yet so I won't do anything". I didn't really get her whole deal with fighting for justice and shit beforehand, but now I kinda understand how she feels. Still, walking into the dude's office to say "I'm going to punch you" was still stupid.
