I almost got hit by buses so many times, and I always marveled at the people who could put their whole family on a bike without a single helmet.

Oh hey, question: Is marmitex any better where you live? Because when I had it, I don't know what it was about those aluminum foil containers, but it just always seemed to ruin the flavor of a good meal.

Almost crashed into buses several times because the bus drivers are usually assholes here. And yes it truly is a fascinating skill isn't it.

Hmm, I don't know if I can answer this accurately. I've always been a picky eater so marmitex was never something I was ever keen on eating. From the times I did eat it, it wasn't all that bad but it wasn't exactly great either.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
It'll be funny if this gets out and people start wearing kamina glasses again like it's 1999 2007.

This is true. Maybe someday I'll have my own youtube show where I can act like that all the time!

Is the Corpse Party OAV better suited for an OT or a Gaming thread? I assume the former.

New OVA? I saw one a little while ago that was pretty much just a brief introduction/sidestory before any of the really crazy shit happened.

Ah, well, I dunno. I just found the way Marmitex ruined a meal perfectly depressing.

But what I wouldn't give for some churrasco. Been so long. A girl I worked with when we were down there works at a churrascaria here, now. Some days I am rather envious of her.

Also, do any of you guys in your twenties and up feel weird watching anime about teens now that you're as old as you are? Specifically shows about high school etc?

Went to two parties this past weekend. One was a friend's birthday the other was a family gathering to see the finals of the Confederations Cup. Both had churrasco, and both were absolutely amazing.

What you doing in the US Corvo, come to your true homeland man. Guarana is waiting for you.

Nah, Corvo just gets hung up on pet interpretations and doesn't let additional information have any say afterward. I still have hope for ep 39, though.

I've been split in half for years, now. I love Brasil, but I can't just leave the mountains and forests of my home, either, haha. If I were rich I'd probably live half a year in both.

Utena 38

Five minutes in and I want all of you to know that I just threw up.
Anthy's eyes rolling into the back of her head was animated in some fucking creepy way. Like, I thought she was just rolling them and then oh fuck no eyes oh fuck no Anthy.

Fucking cold feeling in the pit of my stomach.

Ah, feels good bringing folks back to the past. To watch the non-shitty shows that didn't suck ass.

I was so wrapped up rebooting KaminaGAF I missed this:

4kids Special Magical DoReMi

So I picked episode 3 and 10 just to randomly check out (but not to the fullest)

As soon as 10 started with the opening, I wanted to stab my ears out, it's so awful, it was kryptonite to my lovely ears.

Of course there's also name changes up and about, only this time, they spread of Do, Re, and Mi between the main cast members instead of it solely being about Doremi.

Ai's voice....

Ai's voice..........

AI'S VOICE! THE FUCK IS THIS!? It's like someone gagged on something and it damaged their voice for life! I can't survive episodes with a voice this awful.

Takoyaki = Doodles..... Well I guess it makes more sense than calling them donuts like the Futari wa Pretty Cure dub.

Yep yep yep, this was the worst thing I've done so far in this thread.

What has been seen cannot be unseen. You hurt yourself more with this than you did the thread. Ai's English voice will never leave your mind now.

Summer Wars (Dub Rewatch)

I bought this on DVD a few years ago and watched it with the Japanese language, but never got around to the dub until now. Since it's officially summer, and we're in the summer thread, what better time to watch Summer Wars?

It holds up. In fact, I might have enjoyed it even more because I could keep track of the extended family better by associating them with VAs I recognize. (The Japanese dub was, I believe, somewhat notorious for casting mostly unknowns.)

Great characters and development, beautiful backgrounds, almost perfect pacing (it's a just a bit slow to start in the beginning), and martial arts sakuga on par with anything else you could care to name.

Plus, Natsuki's foxgirl avatar is so cute. :hosodapocalypse

Nah. If it's good, it's good. I obviously would like to see a bigger range in general for settings, but that extends further than identifying with a plot or it's characters.

Not really, but I guess that's mostly because I feel like my mental age isn't much different from a typical high schooler, even if I've done so much more. I guess it doesn't help that I feel just as directionless in life as I did back then, even though that isn't really true.

I would like to see more shows with main characters in my age bracket, though (particularly about people similar to me so I can feel better about myself).

I know that the joke is that so many anime take place in high school settings because those are the best years of your life and everything afterward is just progressively shittier, but this is proving to actually be the case to me so far. Watching kids be stupid is preferable to watching well-adjusted adults ._.

Not really. I mean, having been at that age at one point, I can still identify with the characters. Obviously not as well as I can with characters in my current age group, but still.

Maybe that's what it is for me, i want to see shows about people my age, but i guess shows about working stiffs aren't as interesting.
