He beat the Bible!Is there anything HG Wells didn't do first though? He beat reality, he beat Half Life, why wouldn't he beat some random Japanese scifi novel?
Too bad all the adaptations of Time Machine rip out the moral complications and allegory of the novella anyway.
The joke would have been on you since Britain is a mixing pot of the world's cuisine so insulting British food is insulting food on a global scale. HA HA HA.
And as for SAO questions I should probably re read my old posts for all the questions I came up with, but I guess the most important one is this:
What happened to pizza-kun?
It's too bad Ikuni never capitalized on the opportunity for penguin homoeroticism with MPD given the lightning storm of controversy surrounding a children's book about 2 gay penguin dads a few years ago.
Last night there was a minor discussion about an Italian psychiatrist who warned parents that watching Sailor Moon would turn kids gay. So...maybe Ikuhara just likes to create his own controversies? Even stupid and ridiculous ones.
I'm pretty sure just went camping.

It's not left hanging at all.
As mentioned in episode 17 or so, they ran DNA tests on the remains that Yakomaru brought to the village - they were definitely Maria and Mamoru's. They're definitely dead, and it's not just Yakomaru who says that.
Well, it was somewhat grey in that regard and that feeling is definitely reflected in Saki's statement of "I don't know what's right anymore." I think we were all left thinking that what Yakomaru wanted wasn't wrong but the way he went about it was and a lot of his justifications were wrong.
On the flip side, you talk about Yakomaru exhibiting a lot of human qualities and a lot of his argument is hurt because of it with the viewer. He wished to end the slavery of the queerats, but in turn he enslaved a human to do it. I guess it does reinforce the human characteristics, but I think had they won and wiped out all humans, then their new tool, their Messiah, would have easily been thrown away. That's even more painful by the fact the Fiend saw the queerats as her own kind. It really just show he was falling into a all too human vicious circle. I think that was shown by both sides by the end.
I thought it was an interesting series for the most part, but the last playing of "From the New World", the memories, the scroll on the wall, and the laughing at the end really got to me.

NicoNico pre airs.
Yes, if you want a 280p version.
I actually still love this guy.
Question for SAO dude:
How is it that no one in anime, manga or light novels can actually write a regular relationship successfully. Is is because they all have zero actual relationship experience and are overcompensating with their creations?

More likely catering to a specific audience, though I'm sure it's a mix of all sorts of factors.
from the new world/shin sekai yori - 25
I think back to what I said back after watching episode nine or so--that I was glad a show like this was being made--and after finishing the show, my mind is unchanged; I'm glad this was made; I'm glad someone took the challenge, and the financial risk, to do this; I'm glad I was present as this came to a close.
Think I'm going to avoid talking about specific details in hopes for keeping this brief. Just that, despite the doubt about the direction taken in episode 21, in the end, after a few stumbles, it wrapped up in a commendable fashion. Thematic resolution done with bittersweet clarity and a fair share of irony--the very people who suffered so from the implements of their society, helping raise it anew--more than raising questions, SSY isn't afraid to answer them, and it's in the answering where the challenge lies. The full moral dilemma of their society is brought to its inevitable conclusion. The issues raised by
is reflected then in the final revelation. I guess just why this final episode works so well is due to how the show is written, really--the 'big' ideas overtake the small; as Abraham Lincoln once said, dat backstory.
So yeah. Good 'syfy' as firehawk is so fond of saying. For all its faults, loved it.

Is this from an OVA Yamauchi episode? It looks like something he would draw.

Well there's the episode in the first season where Mugi gets a part time job at the McDonald's knockoff restaurant.
There was also the time they get a part time gig at that maid cafe, but I suppose that's not really something that normally happens. lol I'm not even sure if they got paid for that, not that it was their goal anyways.
Whatever. Yamauchi haters are going to eat it when his new . . . Gonzo . . . harem romcom . . . ragetown . . . anime starts airing.

The only way to improve StrikerS would be to cut every single thing out and start over from scratch.
Dammit. I had blocked out the fact that Yamauchi was getting wasted on that shit, and now you reminded me.

Red Data Girl 2
Huge step up from the first episode that largely felt boring. Anime still feels as if its some adaptation of some otome to me, or at least thats the impression it gives off, not that that is bad. The environments seem well and really pretty or detailed and realistic at times, certainly memorable, and the whole feeling of suspense and growing intensity the episode really paid off in making this a lasting experience. Will definitely follow and hope its picked up in the western world, definitely would buy on disc.
Miyuki easily the star character and going through it all, love his personality. Wayami too

Though cant shake the feeling that there is definitely more to him. Will he be a protagonists aligned with good? And what are the shadows after Izumiko? Hopefully Miyuki can fend them off and protect her as she still tries to awaken.
For the love of god that 'Yuri' better be in that title for a reason.

I was filled with anger when I realized who this is supposed to be, but as I kept starting at the picture, it started to grow on me.

I just wanted to make sure you knew I drew one of those.

Not to worry man I know your style.
Superior to the original.
no just no.
Dokidoki Precure! 08
- Starting off strong with Mana and MakoP idol culture. I get the feeling this one is unsinkable already.
- That trailer in the opening must be for New Stage 2, but all I saw was dokis. Looks like they're going even further into the Super Sentai style crossovers than last time.
- (Commercials) The Wii dancing game will soon be mine. Soon.
- Screw knocking! Mana busts into houses of men she doesn't know the name of, and she does so proudly.
- IT'S HERE. I was trying to forget. We didn't even make it to the title card before the end appeared... Oh no, it's crying and they're feeding it... the flashbacks...
- And now the classy villains in their classy hideout. I can't take this tonal (and quality) whiplash much longer.
- (Commercials) They should totally have these bubble swords and bubble guns in the real series. I guess that's what you get when the Cures don't have their phallic wands or powerup accessories to sell you yet.
- If I ever found myself holding a famous young idol's hand and assuring her "young girls are all princesses", it's all over.
- Hey. Stop breaking my perfect Mana, baby-monster. I'm sure she'd be a lovely singer if you weren't warping the plot for "comedy". I said stop it. Mana is wearing a ribbon. Those give status resistance.
Verdict: Whew. Not ruined... Yet. That baby-monster is certainly trying its damnedest, though. Mana and dokis are just too strong, for now. The next episode preview fills me with dread again.
EDIT - images get. Also came across this one - Dokidoki is the new Sailor Moon project confirmed.

Hei is slowly but surely being developed more and is thankfully showing up more often. The relation between the syndicates, organizations, etc. are starting to come together and I can only assume the major antagonists have been introduced. What we really need though is more Yin, as she's adorable.

Tolkien is spinning in his grave.
Also Bilbo is 50, that's twice the acceptable age of female characters for otaku.
