That's why they're not said that way.
So I caught up on Toonami stuff. Here's my jumbled thoughts:
Bleach - Ichigo isn't an AHNIME character!?!?! Actually in all seriousness it appears Bleach is starting to get good. The buildup has taken a few episodes but I'm excited to see what's to come now.
Blue Exorcist - She wore an itsy bitsy teeny weeny red bikini. Weird that we already have a new OP and ED. I feel like the show just started.
Black Lagoon - I need a moment to think..... Man this little piggie whent to shotgun market. Hearing this without beeps is unsettling. I need an adult. :< ED STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!
Attack on Titan -

People use "Newgate" to refer to him a bunch and NOBODY calls him "Edward." His name is in Japanese order.

Sometimes i feel weird for not being interested in seeing movies at all, at best i would go with a friend (but she's away in Canada) and/or I would go just to get popcorn, a hot dog, nachos, a pizza, a drink ...yea. I haven't seen a movie all year so far in theaters , mind you there are some i kinda would want to see, Godzilla, HTTYD 2 , uh ...that's it.
Well it's kind of getting into Engrish territory.
Don't worry I haven't seen any all year either.

Where can I purchase that piece of mechanical greatness?
That first bit fits in well with the "name your kids stealth anime names" discussion from earlier. Secretly anime, covertly acceptable by semi-normal people as fringe "normal" coolness.
And that theory... makes too much sense. My friend and I have had enough "by the way" conversations over the years as to how human women survive Saiyan sex. I'm sure Bulma could figure out a way to survive, but Goku would have to be ambushed, sedated, or tricked into it. Ultimately, it's always better not to think about it.
So I caught up on Toonami stuff. Here's my jumbled thoughts:

I've enjoyed Bleach these past few weeks, in a "hey, bit characters get to make fun of / out-relevance Ichigo for a while!" kinda way. And previously mentioned "Orihime is being autonomous!" comments.
Titan gifs make your realize titans aren't really too frightening, people can be just as disturbing in their reality. In a few hundred years, they'll all live side by side! ;-)
I WANT ONE! This reminds me of the time I saw a group Cosplay as a working Tachikoma with lights that, actually wheeled across the stage. Making suits to either sit in or wear is the best way for aging anime fans to be totally accepted without having to feel like the obvious perv cosplaying with anime age-appropriate girls of every element of the sailor fuku color spectrum, lol. That and the guys who dress up as Muten Roshi. "Oh, he's just REALLY into character!"
My friend I used to see movies with just moved 6 hours away from me. So I'm in as bad a predicament as you two, even though I wanted to see "The Wind Rises" in theaters, too. :/
Well that's to be expected considering your major.
Actually that's insane.
I've been cutting down this year, but I generally just write down every film I watch.
For example, here is my January of 2012 list:

005. Kagemusha [Akira Kurosawa, 1980] (1/6)
006. The Fly [David Cronenberg, 1986] (1/9)
007. Streets of Fire [Walter Hill, 1984] (1/10)

023. It Happened One Night [Frank Capra, 1934] (1/26)
024. Carlito's Way [Brian De Palma, 1993] (1/27)
025. Hook [Steven Spielberg, 1991] (1/28)
026. Sailor Moon R: The Promise of a Rose [Kunihiko Ikuhara, 1993] (1/29)
027. The Hunt For Red October [John McTiernan, 1990] (1/30)
028. Hammett [Wim Wenders, 1982] (1/31)
If I have a kid, I kinda do want to sneak Mamoru in the name. Perhaps a middle name?
Eh, anime characters dont have sex in my opinion. They simply ask the Stock, obviously.
I like the Fullbring Arc too, in fact I think Bleach is at its best when it focuses just on Ichigos main crew and is set in Ichigos hometown.
Now that Hirotaka Suzuoki (VA of Bright Noa) isn't around, there is no one to monitor Furuya. You know how in the Boondocks the pimp says "A Pimp Named Slickback, you have to say the whole thing?" I knew a guy who always said "Hirotaka Suzuoki, MANLY AS FUCK" whenever he came up in discussion. I love him as Kuno in Ranma 1/2.

I'll probably check out unblock US instead of whining, though i should get my finances in order a bit first.
If you can speak English and like newer released movies at all it's a no brainer. I mean just a quick glance at the Netflix thread and you can find hundreds of new and newish movies on Netflix in countries where streaming competition isn't as big so Netflix can easily secure first/second run rights. It's a crazy bargain.

It was so good, guys.
Don't. It isn't worth it.
How much do you hate yourself?
It makes a good hatewatch with friends but the show is shit in most respects. Avoid if you aren't in a group or sober
Depends on how you look at it. If you don't over-think it, and just accept it as an anime of the times, it's pretty decent. Occasional cool fights, nice animation at times, and some decent armor designs.
If you're going to analyze, rationalize, and break apart each piece, you'll find things to potentially hate. It has some off plot points, a hero that wins because he's the main hero quite often, and a bunch of stuff that'll make you just shake your head if you're fed up with particular anime tropes.
All in all, it's not a HUGE commitment of a series so far, and for something with it's notoriety, I'm kinda happy I'm in the know of it, rather than missing out on all the injokes and references.
And you'll be humming every-time you have coffee or Soda, Toffee, or Pasta. (I swear the Lego LOTR commercial uses this track too, ha.)
Log Horizon is vastly superior in every way, though! ;-)

The worst thing about SAO is just that it *isn't* god awful terrible *all* the time , and instead just mediocre, generic , wish fulfillment, by the numbers-ness most of the time.
I second this. Glad I got to go and see it tonight.
I lift for my friends.

Wanna know the sign of a really good name? If they have the word "The" in front of it.
You know, I don't think I was 'over thinking' it when it comes to how I initially reacted to SAO.
I actually look closer to Hector!

Jintor - Shhh, it's a general overview! But yeah, if one can identify certain elements and patterns from a mile away, it can be an instant turnoff.
But I think a lot of that can be strongly diminished, if one just takes it for what it is. I know I've looked at a lot of talkbacks where I've been very happy to not taint an entire series by generalizing too much of it.
I *bleep* my friends.
Andrex was clearly talking about X-Men movie.

You would think it was the worst thing in the history of the universe the way some people reacted. SAO has numerous flaws but I was able to find some enjoyment in every single episode except for the creepy tenticle rape one. I think the show is hilarious, although unintentionally.
Remember that crappy guild getting curb stomped by trolls? Or FASTER, I GOTTA GO FASTER!? What about 'LOL I forgot why I killed all these people'?
Good times.
