If the Family TV Council or whatever organized some kind of protest against Saint Niisan ala the shit they pull on South Park, it will tank Kodansha or Vertical or whatever the publisher is. Saint Niisan can only ever survive in a niche and if it hypothetically gets unwanted attention in America (which has lotsa religious nutsos) it won't survive.

Of course, most of those groups don't pay any attention at all to manga publishing. It's such a niche series that I have a hard time seeing it ever getting any real attention from the groups that would care.

As a responsible Catholic I have decided to seek the permission of our new Pope before partaking in Saint Young Men. I shall send a letter to Pope Francis about the matter.
I'm pretty sure there weren't any gays adopting kids or euthanasia in it so I'm sure he'll be down with it.

Of course. I have no doubt if it gets published in the US, it would sell to the niche fanbase and be just that. I was just responding to a hypothetical scenario of that happening since Saint Young Men got compared to South Park.

That there is even a discussion regarding this is kinda sad though.

I have been slacking. Its NFL free agency period and that has kept me entertained all day seeing what players go where. But its time to get serious and marathon some Precure. Priorities and all that!

Heartcatch Precure 5

Rapeseed, for when you want that cheerful supportive feel...
Magical fairy food fresh from the bosom.
and of course Miura ramen, when you absolutely have to have your noodles named after a Lamborghini.
Meanwhile Cobraja tries to outfabulous Kumojacky. This has potential.
In this episode Erika and Tsubomi have to fight a monster formed from the negative feelings of a little boy whose father has a ramen restaurant. He feels like he is being neglected in favor of the business. Its up to the Precures to save the day and show him that he is still important! Can they do it? Its episode 5 silly! Of course they do that!

March and April are terrible times to buy hardware. Always wait until E3.

There is no Etrian Odyssey IV or Fire Emblem in that list. You are making a terrible mistake! Stop!

In that case you should wait or your 3DS will gather dust and you'll feel bad about that, though I understand there is a bundle you're after?

Yes. This one.

I've gone back and forth in getting this over and over.
 
Robotics;Notes 21

Thankfully, there is a doujin for that. Predictable turnout for which OTP the anime would go with so I guess those fans were happy. But I was mainly more concerned with how awesome Kai looked when he walked in and how they used some of the best songs on the ost to build up the big moments and get us pumped up for the final episode. I think it and Blast of Tempest ost are my most listened to ones for the anime of last season, oh and Psycho Pass too.
Kai suffering from the seizure thing from the device was a bit hard to bear, really hope he pulls through somehow. Some reason I cant help shake the feeling that we might lose another cast member after our loss of Sister Centipede. She was an integral member and went out with a really good scene and helping them one final time I think. Super Gun Pro 1 looks amazing and clap hands for everyones hard work and teamwork in getting it together, moving fast towards the horizon in that wondrous scene.
 
Robotics;Notes 21
And so we've seen the Aki route reach his end . ( with a little of airi side stuffled in )

NO it's time for the finale and the inévitable epilogue.

Of course not ..it's not like this is a VN ... oh wait ..

Robotics;notes works better as a game than in a anime that's for sure...

Still i would take a OAV for Nae & frau route any day of the week.

Why oh why oh WHY did they let Yui hold the card during the graduation ceremony?

Poor Azunyan. She's sad cause they're all graduating and the Light Music Club will be no more. Well, at least unless Azunyan gets new members, but even then it won't be the same. The point is, she's sad and emotional. Maybe Extellore can cheer her up oh god I can't believe I just typed that.

Couldn't have ended worse though. I was all like "Yes, one more performance of Light and Fluffy Time", but then they fucking went out just as the song was starting! WHY MUST A MAN BE LEFT BEREFT OF HIS LIGHT AND FLUFFY TIME?!

Watch the movie.
 
So I just got back form part 1 of the Madoka Magica movies. If was really well done. a few subtle little changes here and there, but it was mostly what you would expect from a recap of the series.

But I do have a question, something I was pondering in the series too,
what are the chairs supposed to symbolize?

They were kind of empty symbolism to me, like
Miki's watch
in Utena. Granted, that actually has an explanation but it has nothing to do with story, plot or theme.

I think common theories when I was watching were
dead characters, iterations of the universe, or other races of aliens
. I prefer the former explanation, personally.

Maybe you could check the wiki, heh.

should I watch PP's last episode or it's more talk talk? if it's more talk I'd rather save it to watch along with last episode and save myself from the suffering somewhat :|

Yay, you came back to it! You're almost done now! A pretty sad episode, but I got more of an emotional response out of that one scene in episode 20. Not to say this episode was bad or anything, in fact it's quite good.
Watch the movie.

He still has three more episodes to go.

Haganai Next 10:

Yozora's not catching a break of late. Good. Rika completely calls out Kodaka. Good. But depending on how everything plays out it may not mean much.
 
There are still a few extra episodes left, aren't there?

After those though...I think I'm gonna be done with the "girls being cute" genre for a while.
But you definitely should see the movie. A great way to end the series.
I was commenting on his complaints about the ending. The 3 extras don't really address anything about the ending but the movie does.
Oh yeah, in that case you're completely right.

So they are turning Kodaka's dense bullshit into a legit storyline, I guess you can only go so far with the main character apparently not understanding anything around him.
A pretty neat turn.

Haganai NEXT 10


Uh huh.

As much as I would actually want resolution from all of this, I expect to get nothing especially since Vol.9 was 'delayed indefinitely' recently, so Rika end plz.
So... is this like Infinite Stratos then? lol

I know Rowan Atkinson from the show Blackadder as well actually. Then there are those couple more recent James Bond like films named Johnny English. I don't remember if I've seen any of the first one though, I'm just more aware that they exist.
He's Blackadder first!

I don't even know what's wrong with the ending...

Legit like Pet Girl?

You know what's weird? Maybe it's because Haganai was terrible and Kotoura was more obvious than an episode of CSI: Miami, but fuck... Vividred 10 was actually good.

Take the Fringe-esque meta-story reveal, the whole bonds of friendship thing, and then essentially break the formula of the show on purpose to support the bigger story? I was actually impressed. Between the swagger in episode 8 and the decent writing in episode 10, I might actually consider Vividred to be a good show. (Episode 9? What episode 9?).

Oh yeah, because of the Joshiraku OVA, I laughed when I saw the emphasis lines in this shot. Joshiraku, please stay with us forever.
