The Anime and Manga Thread v.3: Read the 1st post for FAQ, tips and chatroom details!

Well, when I was 8 I knew how to do all those things.
Ok, I admit the blackmailing technique was a little too advanced, It took me a lot of tries before I actually got some money out it.

I agree that a lot of anime is trash, but anime is generally intended for kids. Calling out Sesame Street for having plot-holes, or bitching about a Veggietales movie skimping on titties.

If you don’t like it, don’t watch it, because it probably wasn’t intended for you in the first place.

Try seinin instead of shonen, and don’t complain when you watch Princess Lover and get exactly what you’d expect.

Wow, seriously not worth the time in indulging this argument. We’ve gone through this like 10 times over with various other trolls. Is it really necessary to go through this again? Regardless, of how either of us phrase our arguments neither side is going to see the “error” in their ways. No sense in dragging out an argument that’s been done to death.

Got a fine damn point there. I just wish more people would realize this and admit it.

Lol @ all the troll comments.

They do realize it, and I’m sure they would admit it. But they don’t have to begin every post with “I’m watching a kid’s show!”-- a man can like anything they want.

I know I’m an anime fan at heart because [media=youtube]cqfnfIG8AoI[/media] is the only intro song I can sing in its entirety.

I could probably do Sailor Moon lyrics if I heard the song again.

Man, infact is pisses me off when someone says that Head Cha-La is a better song than Rock the Dragon. You have to be out of your fucking mind.

Manly men only.

Yeah, the people who’ve been hanging out here all along discussing their interest, they’re the trolls. And you, the new guy who enter the group by starting an argument saying 99% of one of those interests are trash, are not. Great.

This.

Let’s switch the subject…

  1. I admit to not having seen Lain, but I’ve been feeling an increasing urge to do so. Does it live up to the hype?

  2. Loveless was great. I realize it might be a bit too gay for some, but I really think that was one of the best anime of that year. Did anyone else dare watch it? :rofl:
    Also, fantastic ED song.

Loveless was alright. I mean there were a lot of plotholes and unexplained stuff and I’ll admit I watched it after seeing a screenshot of the big breasted cat-girl. Best anime of that year? I don’t know, that’s pushing it. Mind you, it’s been so long since I’ve seen it.

It is true :tup:

Also, nice jab @ my friends list. I bet you have a lot of e-friends to make up for your non-existent IRL ones.

Lain… was a classic show. I remember seeing it as a kid, and sort of liking it, but it was also pretty slow-paced.

Lain as a character doesn’t do much but stand around and ask slow questions. It was a series that probably could have been done as just a movie, and still have been slow.

No comment on Loveless. I’d use violence to get out of watching that.

Prepare to shit bricks of pure rage. Haruhi is ANOTHER repeat.

Don’t bother downloading Haruhi.

Maybe, I might just have been missing some good shows that year too.

But I really liked the mood and pacing of it. And the thing about losing your cat ears after losing your virginity was pretty interesting, the effect something like that would have. The teacher who still have her ears, and the one of the Zero girls who wears fake ears…
Nice battles too.
Overall solid, except for the ending which was kinda weird. I think the manga was not done, the usual.
I hear Ritsukas brother turns out to be quite the psychopath in the manga later (obviously he’s not dead, though who was burning in the school chair I have no idea), thinking of reading it.

To pass of opinion as fact is pretty arrogant.
It was just a joke, grow up.

Edit: For clarification, I wasn’t pointing out that you have no friends on that list, that would be silly. I was using it to illustrate that you’re doing a bad job at entering this “group” of people.

Now then, how about Umineko ep 4?

Umineko 4

Spoiler

Aww so my guess this week wasn’t spot on the fact that George might be killed next; all the servants died this week. Also, looks like Kinzo’s fate was to be burned alive. Ouch.

Maria looked twice as creepy before, especially with those widened eyes and that song she sang after Battler and co. found the rest of the servants dead.

The mystery gets even more complex as Beatrice might make her appearance soon enough. Can’t wait.

Please don’t quote bubonicplague, it makes the ignore function usless.

lol this is why I don’t even bother with this thread anymore, don’t wanna be pedo by association. Damn, anime is shit now so now everyone starts just clinging to the show that will appeal to their more barbaric and putrid desires, how else can you explain shit like Queens Blade or that one with the little girls flying around showing their camel toes. Shit makes me wanna vomit that this is what passes for entertainment. I remember when we had Ranma back in the day, and their was nudity and all that, but it wasn’t the focus, it was just their. I am starting to think that the real reason why japanese anime is turning to mush is because of the influence of american culture. That and german porn…

what was I talking about again

So how many Endless Eights will he have now? 7?
This “arc” is running longer than any DBZ fight could shake a stick at.

Lol

I think its just that there are a lot of people like Kromo up there in Japan & the American otaku community who are into that shit. Supply and demand I guess :razz:

What was that sound just now? I don’t think it was the wind.

Hmmmmm?

I see it as an addict and a pusher.

Umineko is too damn good.

So, why do you people even post in here again?

It’s like me going into the baseball thread and saying baseball is for pussies.
