I scanned through it to see if they wrote anything about Hisoka. Got excited when I saw the name, than got real sad when it was the wrong one. That would be a fascinating character to try and dissect.

Well now it sounds like she's just making stuff up.

From some of the pieces I looked over there is actually some interesting stuff in here, but shockingly enough is filled with irrelevant information and awkward inferences. Ultimately just another thesis.pdf.
Hey man, if that got her a doctorate then the onus of shame is on us for not thinking of it first!

How else are you going to get to 400 pages?

Mobile Fighter G Gundam 15

Could somebody please explain to me how this isn't the best Gundam show of all time? Because this is pretty much the best Gundam show of all time. I mean, no whining about war, no annoying or useless side character, a proswagonist who never wastes his time saying incredibly pointless things about war, God, or life in general, a likeable female lead, a larger-than-life villain who is a respectable, emotional threat, and DAT MUSIC.

How isn't this the best Gundam?

Man, those PhD dissertation titles really drive home the fact that, under all that education, PhD students are as boring and poorly humored as most of the rest of us.

Some of them are just fantastic, I mean.

"When 'No, No!' Means 'Oh God, Yes!' – Boys Loving Boys" and "The Beast That Shouted 'Love' At the Heart of the World – Sex and Dysfunction in Evangelion" and oh boy, "Single, Desperate and Lonely – Building a Harem".

All of those sound like really terrible essay titles that high schoolers would come up with if prompted to write on the subject.

It's really unfair to the other series to even consider it a Gundam show. it's in a completely different genre.

I have to BS and use a bunch of filler to get 10 pages. I can't imagine writing 400.

Who claimed it wasn't?

Now that I've said it, I'm sure somebody will.

It's really unfair to the other series to even consider it a Gundam show. it's in a completely different genre.

I dunno, it seems to have a number of important Gundam elements, including problematic Space Colonies, evil siblings, crazy superhuman powers brought out by piloting a giant robot, and I'm sure we'll see a Char clone before this is through.

And frankly, being in another genre could only improve some of these crappier neophyte Gundams, like 00 and AGE.

I don't see any of you guys holding PhDs in Japanese Culture so I'm gonna have to defer to Dr. loli on this one.

I like to imagine her complete purpose in getting this PhD was to win dumb anime arguments. I mean "I have a PhD in Japanese culture" is pretty hard to counter.

Christy Gibbs just shot herself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Japanese culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in America where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Japan, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the japanese public, after hearing about this thesis, is not going to want to hire her for any job, nor will they purchase any of her future publications. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Gibbs has alienated an entire market with this move.

Gibbs, publicly apologize and delete your thesis or you can kiss your business goodbye.

On GAF she'd just get laughed off of the site for it!


...wait, are we sure that Christy Gibbs isn't actually HolyBaikal?

Love Live! 10:

Waste of an episode so close to the finale. Needed some fireworks at the end and it would have been the grand tour of every dead horse beach episode trope ever. zzzzzzzzzzzzz

I want to see your diploma and your 400 page thesis on Circumcision debates and the gulf they create in the community.

The ideal GAF thesis would probably about getting dumped by a girl because you went into the wrong bathroom and forgot to leave a tip and got circumsized. Or something.

Looks like we're getting into endgame with the last arc and I gotta say it's pretty interesting. I think I'm slowly piecing together all the little details and I can't wait for the show to explain it all to me.
