I'll have a cup of coffee & some Mtn. Dew (either Baja Blast or Gamer Fuel) ready to keep me awake, along with my friend who's used to night shifts.

.....just hope I can actually get some sleep once it ends.

Was at work talking to a customer about a deal on a console and TV and he brings up anime to me, out of nowhere tbh, and I gave him the toonami test of what is on the block and what appealed to him


My dude literally said he thought Gurren Lagann was too slow and that black lagoon was too slow and didnt like that there were so many chicks that knew how to hold there own in a shootout.

I just smiled and said yea its not for everyone....lol

Not for the faint of heart.

Man this night is going to be rough. No Bleach. No Naruto UNCUT. At least Dandy is always there.

Lots and lots of Wall Sina though. I guess its time is now.

I heard all it takes to take out wall sina are 16 german suplexes. Thats just rumors tho.

I recognize these words, but they don't make sense in that order.

I don't understand his opinion at all. Are chicks not allowed to be badass?

TTGL being a bit slow...is actually something of a valid complaint! It slows down often in between moments of complete awesome and hyper activity.

EDIT: The dude he was talking to has obvious issues with women. Could be any number of things but yeah.

The guy was a idiot Htown, remember that story I told blackgaf with the idiot wanting to get a cod ps4 bundle but couldn't get it done because we were told it was discontinued? This was the sAme guy lol. He came back upset. Over GS not bundling it also

Its funny I had a 2nd customer bring up black lagoon today she was up there in age. Shit threw me off. Talked to me about revy for 4 mins straight

I'd be happy to run into anyone who can talk about anime at length. The only people I know who do are a small group of friends.

I don't mind it at times as well. Im not hugely knowledgeable or geek out over it alot to people at work but its cool customers feel cool enough to have a conversation about it

Kills time for me

So like.........was the guy wanting more females like K-On? How is "a ton of chicks are strong and awesome and can stand their ground" a BAD thing?

& really, Gurren Lagann SLOW? The show (and Black Lagoon, as well) is the opposite of that most of the time. ESPECIALLY in comparison to other shows like AoT. I'd throw in Naruto & Bleach, but that wouldn't really be fair due to those being so much longer.

Keep in mind I view Eureka Seven as a gruelingly bad show that has been overrated to the hilt.

You did make the titular character cry.

I myself find it to be one of the best "Gundam" shows of recent memory and an all time classic.

Oh, while I'd prefer a Samurai Jack marathon to AoT I guarantee I'd stay awake longer watching Titan. I don't think I could make it past the pilot movie in Jack.

He prolly likes anime where he can self insert himself, and some people cant self insert into other genders.

His favorite show is prolly SAO

What about dat Epiduo commercial marathon
 
I haven't seen Aldnoah Zero but I'm calling bs here. It can't possibly be that bad

Without posting MASSIVE spoilers, the biggest problem with Aldnoah Zero is that it's just god damn boring and stars the most freaking dull main character ever. Take Batman and make him even smarter, give him no back story, give him no cool gear, and give him no personality. Then remember you're supposed to be rooting for and connecting with this character. Also add a harem because this is anime and you have the perfect ingredients for a main character that will probably be voiced by Bryce Papenbrook in a year or two.
