I can't imagine that was a coincidence, personally. I don't think Terasawa ever said anything about that though.
(For what it's worth, a Japanese translation of Dick's story had been published in the December 1972 issue of SF Magazine, back when Terasawa was 18.)

Well, that seems pretty likely.

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal 17

Yawn, so the band of terrible friends gets captured and protag decides that he's too cool to rely on his imaginary friend and duels to save them. I thought it was established that he's a crappy duelist.

 

[Crash Station]

Well, for anyone that watched Maken-Ki... you're getting a bit more of it.

I guess this is the "new anime adaptation" that they teased a while ago.

Meh, if they aren't doing the only good arc, then I don't care.

An anime about anthropomorphized blood types? Uh, okay.

Ketsuekigata-kun, the manga about anthropomorphized blood types, is inspiring a television anime that will premiere on April 7. In Japan, some people believe that blood types are linked to personalities; to them, people with Type A blood are reliable, Type B blood signifies passionate people, Type O blood indicates those with an independent streak, and Type AB people are capricious.

A creator who goes by the pen name "Real Crazy Man" has been drawing manga that takes these blood-type personalities and turn them into characters. Popular voice actors Jun Fukuyama, Yūichi Nakamura, Akira Ishida, and Tetsuya Kakihara will play Types A, B, O, and AB, respectively, in the anime.

Yoshihisa Oyama (director of photography on Aku no Hana, Say "I love you".) is helming the anime at the studios Assez Finaud Fabric. and feel. Kenichi Yamashita (Ishida and Asakura, Yumeiro Pâtissière) is writing the scripts, and Dax Production is charge of sound. Earth Star Entertainment published three manga volumes by "Real Crazy Man" since last July.

Anyway, will watch for Nakamura, Ishida, and FukuJun.

Will watch if eps are 3 mins or less.

Fresh survived Chiffon, which was another baby mascot that forced the characters into a nurturing role, but this thing is just so creepily humanoid. Who the fuck allowed this thing into the show?!



please tell me that this is just some kind of passive-aggressive spite and not what you actually believe ._.

dude I actually searched ebay for a Porun plushie.
I want one so badly.

 

[dakkumauji]

An anime about anthropomorphized blood types? Uh, okay.

Well at least I'll probably understand all about blood types. That voice cast is pretty stellar too.

 

[kayos90]

? Something wrong?

 

[Narag]

Beaten to the blood type anime news by a minute.

Two terrible Japanese traditions for the price of one? sign me up

 

[cajunator]

Two terrible Japanese traditions for the price of one? sign me up

you dont know where perchance I might find a Porun plushie outside of ebay do you?

 

[madp]

So do we tell him that an 8 from Famitsu is like a 3 from another reviewer, or does he already know, and, uhh...

 

[kayos90]

I'm wondering how good the game actually is. I'm sort of intrigued honestly.

 

[Narag]

Maybe the game doesn't suck!

 

[Jex]

Look at you, being the news guy.

 

[dakkumauji]

Maybe the game doesn't suck!

But it does by the Famitsu scale.

 

[Narag]

But it does by the Famitsu scale.

I thought that just meant the checks didn't clear and wasn't an actual indicator of quality.

Now if they can just work the incest angle in there.

 

[madp]

what did I do to hurt you so deeply? ._.

One of the reviewers was probably just on one of the losing waifu teams and wanted some revenge.

will this do the job

Oh Dickson!

Where is your Dickson avatar anyways?

 

[ZachDeKoromaru]

"My platelets are moving on their own!"

Rampant moe anthropomorphization specifically, but that works too!

Yu-Gi-Oh! ZeXal 18

So to win the duel, the protag and his imaginary friend literally created a new card that could save the day. I get top decking and I dunno, skill I guess, but this is flat out cheating here people.

 

[CorvoSol]

Let's just hope we don't find the Travis to your Old Yeller then.

Old Yeller nothin'. Somebody get Atticus Finch. It's the only way.

How could you like Gundam 00 enough to pay 16 bucks to see any part of it in theaters? I loved Gundam Wing but I still wouldn't've paid to see Endless Waltz.

 

[Hitokage]

The joke was deliberately avoiding anthropomorphization as a "terrible tradition".

He's seriously too good at this.

Honoka and Porun and Kiriya are the main reasons I enjoyed Futari Wa Precure as much as I did.
especially when Porun does the awesome little super saiyan thing.

nah, don't get me wrong. I don't have anything against anthros, I just like to poke fun at the determination of otaku to turn anything and everything into a cute girl. Furries (wait, that word's not derogatory, is it?) aren't beholden to otaku culture, there's nothing to mock there!

Haha, sure. The fault there is a lack of imagination!

 

[cajunator]

everything SHOULD be represented as a cute girl.

Yuno already represents heart failure.

Since when is he roping people into being his carrier pigeons? Are you fine with just being someone else's mouthpiece, kayos?

I didn't rope anyone in for anything! Kayos has gone rogue!

Poor guy was pushed a little too far and now he's threatening fine upstanding posters like madpierrot in duckroll's name.

Professor Tomoe is a hard man to match, but I meant that post was amusing with the avatar next to it.

yes she certainly does.
well the whole cast represents various heart ailments.

Tag quote probably works here too. Double owned

Now that I've found out that kayos secretly feels threatened by me for whatever reason I don't know how to react I think our beleaguered mascot is just projecting his guilt over failing to get us to Okeanos in yet another season onto other people.

Don't worry, it's coo' with me.

I intended to help get to OT4 before work crushed me. On the bright side, I feel like I better understand cajunator now since when one overworks themselves, lighter fare is preferable to unwind with rather than trying to force yourself to watch something that demands attention while exhausted.
