| It's not scary. Well, not really. But it is... Weird. The random scenes are the most bizzare thing about it. |
| Watching Welcome to the NHK's English dub. The English VA for Satou hits this one out of the park, which makes the lightweight performance of Misaki's VA all that more disappointing. Yamazaki's VA is okay, and I haven't heard enough of Hitomi's to decide either way. This is still a really great series, though, and surprisingly thoughtful and heavy. One of my favorites. I owe a kind of personal debt to it in fact, since letting one of my friends watch it who was in a rut similar to Satou's inspired him to do something better with his life. |

| So. Episode 9. |

Yeah, Welcome to the NHK has that effect on people. After reading the manga, I went out and did some stuff that I've been procrastinating on. So Irond Will is setting his sights on a new target: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?p=14447738#post14447738 But I guess since they aren't 'weaboos' they get a warning: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?p=14447509#post14447509 Also, http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?p=14447690#post14447690 I'm sure it's the former, plus the fact that we're all mature individuals here. |

Slicer said: Even if you disagree with Will's assessment of the anime thread, surely you can see the difference between what he says the anime thread was doing (NSFW stuff and general creepy talk) vs what he says the Star Wars thread was doing (people being jerks to each other), no? They seem pretty different enough to me, at least! Hah, the comparison isn't meant to be exact, but apparently being huge jerks over 90 pages is acceptable and only warnable behavior, whereas having anime avatars means that we get instantly hammered down! There really was no "general creepy talk" when even anime avatars are considered creepy, and the title of the threads were changed by Will to read "PEDOPHILES UNITE". Perhaps one or two posts here and there were a little upsetting, at worst. Don't worry about it, though. This isn't meant to be argument-worthy criticism, but just some poking fun at things that appear absurd, like what the Daily Show does. My order for Nanoha A's was cancelled by Rightstuf. Apparently I ordered the reprint, and the publisher decided not to release it. Doesn't bode well for a localized StrikerS release. Endd up ordering it off of Amazon. Only two copies left at $25.99. I'll probably watch Nanoha/A's and Simoun next. |

Yeah, there's fanservice, but it tells a very interesting story if you're paying attention. |

| Okay, Hitler. |

Fixed, because all along 4chan somehow got projected onto us for no discernable reason: http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?p=14447919#post14447919 At least Will had honest things to say...A MONTH AGO. http://forums.penny-arcade.com/showthread.php?p=13862031#post13862031 And if you look further down, folks who like Golden Boy are absolute degenerates. Doesn't matter how hilarious that show is or that he's never seen it, you are a terrible person for liking it. |
| "Because ten billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral... it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness." |
| Ironically, the weaboo hate is much more 4chan than the anime thread ever was. Olivaw could be a typical [a/ troll. |
| So, this was an interesting idea I heard floating around. What if we ask for the thread to come back put in GV? Comic books and manga are pretty close together, not too big a jump from manga to anime. It'd get us under a different mod, at least. |
| My experience has been that american comic fans hate anime. On the internet at least. |
| To me, the whole ordeal makes Iron just look like a big dumbass. Or a troll. Probably a troll. |
Juicy_Juice said: My experience has been that american comic fans hate anime. On the internet at least. See, this weirds me out since over here, anyone who likes US comics is also a reader of at least one or two manga series as well. It's almost like there's no distinction between the two, probably because they became popular here around the same time. They're both sold in the same shelves in bookstores. |
|
| I know a lot of comic guys who like manga. Conversly, my other friends who like manga also love comics. |
| That's why I added "on the internet." I have a theory that nerds compensate in this way. "At least I'm not as bad as them." |
| Yeah, I don't doubt it. I mean, you have to keep your e-peen nice and big. |
| Looks good, though I hope you included the location otherwise Geebs will think we want thread to exist only in his PM box. "Dear god!" :P |
| Maybe it could work. "Maybe maybe." |
Slicer said: I PM'd Will and he said that in about a month the thread can come back. It turns out that writing a reasonable PM was the best way to get a reply! That's strange because all our other reasonable PMs were ignored with no response. Still, going back to D&D doesn't seem fathomable, given the disdain that D&D Culture has for whatever they perceive as 'weaboo'. Unless you want to stick to talking only about Ghost in the Shell, Akira, and Cowboy Bebop, I think this Graphic Violence idea has merit. It seems like a waste to have a whole board dedicated to only comic books when animation and other print media would fit in there just fine. |
| "Because ten billion years' time is so fragile, so ephemeral... it arouses such a bittersweet, almost heartbreaking fondness." |
| While I think some posts in our anime thread were kinda...questionable, it was few and far between and we didn't deserve to get shitcanned for it. There's no reason we shouldn't be able to talk about stuff that's new and different, even if some of it may be somewhat controversial. I'd say Graphic Violence would have less of a problem with us. That western animation thread they have is a trainwreck. There's little talk about new stuff, and they only seem to wanna discuss shit from like ten or twenty years ago. Speaking of which, have you heard of this Batman TAS program? It's so amazing! |
| No need to antagonize, fellas. I'm sure it'll work out in a week or two. In the meantime, you can watch Cross Game or whatever makes you relax and in good spirits. |
| Just a note, I was checking the PA EVE Online corporation website today and they added an anime forum. So everyone's dealing with this in their own way :P |
| Truthfully, it's not entirely unpredictable that the season with a show called B Gata H Kei with people posting screencaps found the thread locked. |

Well whatever lies in store for the anime thread (whether it's Slicer's behind the scene dealings or the nomadic movement into other subforums), I'm with Chen on just chilling out for a bit. |
| I actually like it here. Except the damn forum software forgets when I've already read a thread and bolds it anyway. |

So everyone's dealing with this in their own way :P I'm actually the mod for that subforum :3 It began after some random crazy jabber conversation about nothing in paticular that ended up being about anime, and then one of the other guys jokingly suggested making an anime subforum with me as the mod. And then someone did. |
Juicy_Juice said: I actually like it here. Except the damn forum software forgets when I've already read a thread and bolds it anyway. Yeah that's really annoying. I'm like oh new post. Wait. |
| So who is the most "weaboo"? I just assumed it was pika. |
| Going to give this a go. I've set up #paweeaboo on SlashNET in case anyone wants to talk faster than on just here; I'll give Spec and Beel and/or Zand ops (administrative rights) when they log on in a bit so it's just not some new girl in there. If you're not familiar with IRC, just click on this link for a web client; give it a nickname and it'll put you in the channel automatically. |
