Talk about an optical illusion. If you're confused, the guy's shirt is too big and gets to his pelvis, which is why his legs seem to come out of nowhere. Given he's leaning down to hug her our brain assumes he's bigger and therefore carrying her, but that's where clever use of po...

About Quiet's nature being stupid; it is, but between Gay Fox and The Boss giving birth on literal D-day it more or less fits on the MGS franchise. Hell it's not even the first time a character is subjected to nudity if you consider MGS2 (although the undertones were different). I ha...

This was not to be, of course, as EGF gradually mutated beyond recognition, into an environment that I consider hostile and undesirable. The people largely responsible for sustaining this atmosphere are not going anywhere fast, as well. Add onto that the fact that most of my old posse are either go...

You have probably read these points multiple times before but anyways: Honestly, the Eva dub is like someone took the Genji Monogatari and it was "translated" and '''''''localized''''' by the same people who did the Romeo and Juliet emojis bo...

Aren't performers more or less expected to appear publicly as beacons of morality (for younger people?) over in Asia? It is pretty shocking and more than a little disagreeable, but it is another culture. As such, i try not to judge them until having a pretty decent grasp of it from vario...

I don't know, i'm on the rather thin-skinned side and i can read /pol/ and tumblr just fine. I don't particularly enjoy the places, but that has probably more to do with severely introverted nature and lack of interest than being unable to stand the toxicity (or whatever). The id...

Yeah, Joe Hisaishi is amazing.

The soundtracks for Gunbuster and Nadia were really astounding as well.

I always adored the romanticistic/"emotion before (almost) anything" sensibilities in anime. Also, my great love for both Japanese culture/aesthetic and animation in general predisposes me to it greatly.

Besides, what other medium has created something like K-On! or the SoL genre?

[url]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b0su39y7QOM A documentary on the Rothschild family, focusing on the main British heir Sir Jacob de Rothschild. As an aside, i must say that i *love* British documentaries. There's just something about them, the narration, the soundtrack, the "feel",...

I played it when i was a kid and then again around last year, it was fun. It was also cool how different levels had you doing different things although i kinda wish there had been more straight-up fighting. As was said the ending differs with Shinji taking on the MPE and Instrumentality is, IIRC, av...

Yeah, Love Live is pretty popular and given how huge the idol fanbase is (not 100% fat men unlike what "true" anime fans would like you to think) it's no surprise they beat even a household name like Eva. Films satisfying "baser" impulses are always going to be more p...

Posting just to say thank you OP, some really interesting stuff here. And thanks to the other members for the links, as well.

Shinji is a huge Moonman fan. Gendo however is more of a Kazuhira "Emptying my nine at the welfare line" Miller kind of guy.

Anno's secret dig at doujinshi circles?

Not sure if related, but i thought it was a pretty cute doujin.

I still don't quite get why everyone is so crazy about Fury Road. Good film for sure but just befuddled as to how it acquired the "Savior of Hollywood" status it has.

Good to see people are enjoying it at least.

It would be the equivalent of an Italian saying that the generation that grew up under Mussolini were really manly men, not like these sissy boys today. I'm not familiar with Italian history, but there actually is a huge topic/debate/whatever about Japan's recent history and relationship wi...

Lupin III: A Woman Named Fujiko Mine (First Impressions) lol, you couldn't have gotten a worse entry to the franchise if you tried. Haven't seen Cagliostro yet so i can't recommend it, but my own introduction to Lupin has been the First Series (Green jacket) and every ep...

All this Persona posting makes me sad i don't have a PS2. I've been playing Borderlands last couple of weeks. The balancing can be frustrating (the game's just too easy) but ever since i started it i have been amazed at how such a simple concept in it's base can be so addicti...

This avatar is part of one of my studies when i used to give it my all in art practice (sigh...), the feeling of melancholy and yearning i sensed from it struck quite a bit. That and the fact that, in my opinion, it had a nice draftmanship/looks good made me choose it as my avatar in that ar...
