I don't know if any one noticed, but SAO will premiere on Toonami next week. It's going to be so much fun reading the hate while also hate watching it.

The only anime that I ever watched with my dad was Nausicaa, and he threw a violent fit because he thought that Nausicaa's flesh-colored leggings were her bare ass.



Southern Ohio is basically Mississippi culturally. The list of cartoons that I wasn't allowed to watch as a kid because of "violence" or "satanic themes" is enormous.

I still remember the time Mom and Dad came home while I was watching Kiki's Delivery Service and were all "You're watching something with a witch in it?"

They've loosened up as I got older though.

Damn. My dad hates the fuck out of what I like but they never tried to stop me from it. I was allowed to play m rated games or watch r rated movies because I could handle them just fine.
My mom is catholic but she doesnt care if we watched stuff with witches or magic. While my dad disapproves of things hs knows he cant prevent me from liking them and he has never tried.
as for guns, I grew up in a house with dozens of them. People take them out to show to other people and its just normal to see a gun laying around.
ive never seen the big deal about it. I feel comfortable with them around.

There is only swag in this dojo.

Damned right!

Damn, i really took growing up with non-religious parents for granted reading what some of you guys put up with. My grandma was one of those witch herp derps, but she didn't have much say.

ToonamiGAF's reaction to SAO will be more interesting by default since it won't be just post-episode impressions, but a steady stream of liveblogging content each week.

I live in a heavily catholic (about 90%) area. Its not nearly as strict as bible belt areas. People are religious but not keen to cram it down your throat.

Another shark jumpy premise shift (now with more cynical gender norm marketing!), but hopefully it still manages to deliver in spite of everything. It almost feels like Hasbro shouting down orders to the MLP crew, except here the staff is actually good.

Oh yeah...

This whole scene had me rolling. Doremi continues to serve as the comedic foundation of the show.

I live in the most religious part of Oregon (that's still basically un-religious though) Most people say they're christian, but they'll still look at you weird if you proselytize or something.

Gatchaman Crowds 2
Hajime is truly the best lead character of the season. I do love her approach to the Gatchaman philosophy.

I'm still having a problem with the way the scenes are presented. They feel rushed, with quick cuts, too fast to take in and absorb. I don't know if it's just that way due to Hajime, but I have yet to see any slow scenes in the anime so far.

The hate won't come until 14 and then the dam will burst.

Episode 14 was the end of the first half right?

Yeah I think I bailed on that one after I was hit over the head with the constant deluge of
ridiculous plot armor and deus ex machina
. And the show apparently gets worse after that? Godspeed, ToonamiGAF.

I live in a land of political corruption, drive thru daiquiris, and loose gun laws. This place gives quite the leeway.

Hajime is cuuuuuuuuute.
shes the happiest genkiest character of the season.
im happy and genki so I can relate to her.
 
Sailor Moon 35


Kidnapping a dude, lovely. Also all that BL driving girls wild.

I think the real REAL names for Sailor Moon and Tuxedo Mask made me realize the basic premise behind their dub names considering it's pretty close to their
past identities. On top of everyone else apparently being with her back then. Earthlings they be still.

Sailor Moon has fears due to everything happening to Tuxedo Mask but gains courage when her back is at the wall. We're getting super plot now in the final stretch of this season.

The good thing is I was able to get my rebellious stage out on relatively harmless things like watching cartoons and playing video games instead of drugs or something like that.

I do wonder if I would be as big into those hobbies today if they hadn't been forbidden to me as a preteen.

hah. I'm being accused of being a "late bloomer" going through a "rebellious phase" because I never had one as an adolescent, just because I'm actually beginning to defend myself against family criticism of my hobbies.

I'm almost certain that my fixation on mahou shoujo partially has something to do with it being the forbidden fruit when I was a kid.

Probably overthinking it but Shergal mentioned how she's portrayed as a savant that gets things faster than everyone else. Sometimes I think the show is like that too as the viewer is playing catchup to Hajime who is always just a step or two ahead.
 
Sailor Ass 36


Awwwwww to the yeeeeeeeah. Cure White's split frame underskirt shots have nothing on this.

People are still moping with reason, even Usagi isn't perky, so lets get her hair did.

OH NOW YOU WANT HER IDENTITY BERYL! YOU COULD'vE HAD THAT A WHILE AGO BUT YOU KILLED OFF YOUR HENCHMEN DESPITE HIM TELLING YOU SO.

Also Tuxedo Mask is branwashed. Why don't they just ask him for Moon's identity?

dad just wishes I would get more into amateur radio and other hobbies similar. Problem is the allure of those hobbies is diminished by current technology.
when you can skype with people around the world, radio seems so ridgid and tedious. Although it still has use durinv emergencies.

That seems like an oddly specific hobby to pressure one's child into adopting.

Words words words. The love story in this show is so god damn stupid I can't help but laugh. Tamaki continues to be the best girl because she doesn't give a fuck about anything except actually trying to give a fuck. The
alien cast
is also pretty zzz except for the boss brother who also continues to not give a fuck except when actually giving a fuck.

Also lunch lady needs to be in every episode.

This show is terrible. I hate myself for enjoying it.

So Day One of Roadtrippin' with Felix. So far we've learned that:

1. Deserts are hot.
2. My dad doesn't seem to mind my music choices that rotate through prog metal, pop punk and NPR.
3. Casinos are fucking weird and full of bizarre people. Oh well, off to play blackjack.

Should really have posted this ages ago since it's from the ED, but what the hell, the truth must be known.

Yes, more of that please, thank you.

My anime "power level" is hidden by listening to metal music and no one except a few of my friends expecting it of me, though it's not like anyone in my family is familiar with that sort of popular culture anyway so keeping it hidden is beyond me.

are you me?

But I was told that there wasn't a single woman that didn't like gays!

Yuri Seijin OVA (2010)

That's was very hilarious and entertaining. I really love the artstyle and character designs. Very nice and fluid animation. Satomi Arai is so perfect for the Yuri Alien role.
The second image made laugh more than I should xD

Haha, at one point later on the group sits in a class with a teacher that's more like Hazuki's mom, and they are less than impressed.

I could definitely see that

Shame the longer OVA felt off. I think it worked well in the short format like that as much longer proved to be too much in maintaining the energy.

This show remains the best non-sequel show of the season for me. I don't know if it's weird to ship a Tanuki and a Human, but fuck it; This is America baby. I ship who I want.
