What does 'DTL' mean? Google tells me "does the look" but that doesn't seem to fit. Is it a reference to one of the GAF users here that someone abbreviated to DTL iirc? Anyways, explanations folks!

I'm liking his voice in Japanese so much, now I kinda wanna hear what Rider sounds like in English also. I'm gonna stick with the sub for the anime though.

DTL is a user here. To keep it simple
DTL: Yaoi
SDBurton: Yuri
Theonik: Butts
Cnet: lolis
Zach: gross monster girls
Woofdawg: everything awesome
He voiced by Batou's VA so of course he sound badass as hell.

Well that's not good.
So like 200's, 300's ? That's not good at all.
Blubeard's master is Ryuunosuke Uryuu. (Does Bluebeard even have a beard in this show ? )
Well despite lack of saguka I thought some early battles were pretty well done like Arlong Park and Alabasta but if you still don't like the series after Arlong Park it probaly isn't for you. Personally I think OP is easily the best of big three by far.

Lu Bu> Batou.
We all are secretly.
exaggerating what?
that was yesterday's issue, today it's about that one scene and her claim of Saber being told at all is sexism in itself and I think that's invalid entirely.
in response she's pretty much calling me sexist instead, ridiculous.

You forgot cajun, firehawk and secretbase (although the last is not a user)
And yet can't even put the colon on the correct side.

Cajun: everything moe
Firehawk I have no idea what his is. Is it ranting about a good show he's nitpicking before he goes to watch some crappy one and not say anything?

BGBW: having shit taste in anime like puchimas.
I wasn't doing the tags just explaining the names lol.
The talk about don't want to see her at real life, maybe I'm just fail to see the sensitive context there, I'm sorry then if so.

Monster girls are amazing, you take that back!
Hot Pantsu Action
Poor firehawk. No longer is he wistful at the ephemeral and bittersweet nature of things that must come to an end.
(weirdly, thus making him a literal embodiment of mono no aware and thus, in himself, :firehawk)
Since there's going to be confusion of misinformation here is the correct list:
:chet = life, particularly large ones. The more :chet the better.
:thonik = hometown
:dtl = yaoi
:sdburton: yuri
:cajun = hnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng
:firehawk = mono no aware
:wonzo = QUALITY
:duckroll = false hype (not to be confused with duckroll future which is CG)
:cnet = [post=81717473]Oh dear oh dear oh dear[/post]
:kayos = a state of confusion that is unique to the member kayos90

They are, but maybe he does like only gross monster girls. You know, gross monster girls in contrast to regular monster girls.
i want one, what antics do i need to put on to do this
Hamatora 2
I didn't notice this before, but what's with the coloring? I didn't mind it early on, but now I'm seeing light blotches of red just about everywhere that isn't a character's face and some articles of clothing. It took a while to get that my TV didn't suddenly break.

I love how some people would need a translator to understand this list.
Make one of post that quoted at OT. rip cnet.

There's no translator that can properly translate quality in caps. A term unique to the anime community.
Speaking of, I can't remember the last time I've seen a QUALITY show.

Does the show change anything or do anything different? I'm up to episode 6 and the only thing it has going for it is the superb animation. I dunno the show is just really slow and boring, the mysteries they've encountered so far are really dull and only serve to bring Oreki and Chitanda closer to each other which is weird because if i recall this show is not a romance right?
I'm gonna give it a few more eps but if it doesn't improve I might drop it

There's no confusion on how awesome :woofdawg is. Y-you missed that one. Don't worry about it I'm sure it's hidden in an email code.
F/Z end spoilers
Yup, that troll ending for him hit me hard.
Yeah, Arlong arc is probably going to be the sink or swim point for me. I managed to get into HxH only after like 37 episodes so maybe it will happen here as well.

I also skipped :cuilan which is an irc exclusive.

Everything is bad in large contents. Even water. The essence of beauty.
To be fair, they're not really used much any more. Had to pick my brains to remember some of them.

Magical Sisters Yoyo & Nene (Majokko)
This movie was great. One of the best things I've watched all year, probably the most impressive, confident work ufotable have put out yet.
It's no surprise since Takayuki Hirao is the director, and he shows what he can do when freed of the Nasu-shackles that left a sour spot in his Kara no Kyoukai film.
The most striking feature of that film was its rhytmical, snappy editing that felt almost avant-garde in its extremity yet it was what gave the whole film its form and structure. With Majokko, there's not such a fundamental connection between the two aspects, but the lyrical editing is as assured as ever. For the first half of the film, it's hard not to be overwhelmed as every shot flows organically into each other with a rhythm that sets the entire tone by itself. It's snappy, it's whimsical, and it's a joy to watch. There's a point where the editing gets so extreme that the movie just bursts into a dance number that feels entirely part of the flow and organic. That's how well-made it is.
As the movie closes its second act and starts getting ready for the climax, it gradually adopts more standard forms and starts feeling more like a traditional adventure blockbuster, similarly to how KnK 5 dropped its shenanigans once the jig was up. Whereas in KnK that gave room for the awful script and world to overtake what was up until that point a flawless film, Majokko isn't dragged back by those hindrances and remains free to keep up not just in spectacle, but in theme as well.
It was interesting watching this back to back with Patema Inverted, because by the end I was thinking that the complaints I had with the latter could also be elevated to Majokko, but my reaction to both films couldn't be more different. It probably has to do not only with how much more gorgeous and breathtaking the set-pieces are here, but also to how much more confident the film feels in itself. It touches upon some interesting subjects, but it doesn't dwell in them. It trusts the viewer to glean what is important directly from the events, instead of grinding to a halt to have them catch-up, and its characterization is much more evenly-handed than in Patema, being distributed across the runtime and serving its place on the whole package of the film, as opposed to being what everything hinges on.
Maybe the only real issue I had with the film is that there was no reason to
this is as minor as it could be, obviously.
Lastly, there's really no emphasizing just how good this looks. Not just the animation, which is excellent on all fronts- character acting, effects, moving backgrounds, use of 3D space-, but the art and more specifically the colour direction are very well-realized.

turn Yoyo into a teen as she crossed worlds, lol. I guess there's a place for marketing as well, but they could just as easily have her be in the 'teen version' from the beginning with no real issue.

Samurai Jam-Bakumatsu Rock Episode 1
Compared to UtaPri, I like Utapri better, could get into all the characters instantly and the music was simply amazing with the light plot stuff. The plot here is chuckle inducing at times (everyone massively obsessed with Okita-sama (best) or even Hijikata-sama, enough to beg to be arrested so they could meet him), but some of it is dull.
Definitely want to hear Okita sing much more

This is a rather meaningless statement.
