Gundam 00 (first season) : Starts up painfully slow, with too much exposition via the narrator and too little exposition via actually animated sequences. The first 10 or so episodes' battles are awful (or the series creators were really intent on showing how all of earth military were woefully inep...

Fate Zero: Well, that was depressing. But not the most depressing and darkest anime I've watched (that still goes to Vampire Princess Miyu, which manages to outdo this one in bleakness with less gore to boot). I found some characters annoying, but grew to appreciate some of them (Waver Velvet &...

Repost,but had to... https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/648390386921897984/766327717644861460/T2DIi.png I I lived in Japan, I would so totally buy that. *thinks there are too few toilet seats and garbage cans that look like the are a big mouth waiting to engulf something that comes near* :D

It's a shame almost everyone seems to agree that 2202 is inferior to 2199. I adored the original, and on a recent re watch I liked it even more, so hearing this concerns me a bit. Doesn't help that a lot of staff changed. I'm still determined to buy the blu ray and watch it that way once I can, I j...

Space Battleship Yamato 2202 : Quite nice, but suffers from a single major problem: The plot and its pacing. The series is, in a certain sense, much more Japanese than 2199, as the concept of Yamato (the meaning of the word) is made central to the plot, in a rather ham-fisted way that feels like th...

Puella Magi Madoka Magica Rebellion : Well, I now understand where all of the fanart painting Homura as being creepily obsessed with Madoka comes from. :bigeyes: There are the regular yanderes in anime, that simply murder/bludgeon/otherwise violently take out the competition, and there is this : ba...

Puella Magi Madoka Magica movie #2 : Again, not much new stuff compared to the second half of the TV series. It adds some new scenes and an epilogue/preview to connect it better to Rebellion (movie #3). Canaan: The Les Yay is strong in this one (no outright nudity or too blatant fanservice). Also, ...

Were the socks found at the same shops?

His DIN 910 is routinely supplied with door knobs to adjust for different door thicknesses. I've also got a couple of his DIN 905. The following are all possible in specialist applications: 877, 879, 881, 882 (although usually the section between the double countersinking is filled up), 884, 885, 8...

Just when things were finally starting to look up: https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/burton-c-bell-officially-quits-fear-factory-i-cannot-align-myself-with-someone-whom-i-do-not-trust-nor-respect/ You'd think he would have had that insight when he was suing his bandmates... :facepalm: :uhh: :???:

Recently watched: Puella Magi Madoka Magica . I had somehow expected this to be psychologically darker and more gory (more akin to what Narutaru is to the mons genre), but it's still a fairly upbeat story with pretty visuals despite being a deconstruction of the magical girl genre. I'm not really a ...

Moments that make me pause: Getting myself perma-banned on another forum for pointing out that you can add trolls to your ignore list without missing anything important, to which apparently a mod took exception and decided I could also be missed (no warning whatsoever) :???: I guess it wasn't very s...

You mean things like Unrated Batman v Superman, Snyder Cut Justice League, Suicide Squad, Birds of Prey, Joker, and (checks notes) possibly the upcoming The Batman movie? I mean, these were all works based on children’s entertainment and reworked to entertain an adult audience that never grew out o...

Hereby I'd like to flame companies that provide "GDPR-compliant" advertisement setting cookies that simply won't take "No" for an answer to their very complicated and long lists of advertisement scumbag companies. I disable all the options, and keep getting confronted with the sa...

to be fair, going by that description it might not be for children, but it's something a child would enjoy, but a well-adjusted adult would find ridiculous. which is why I'd put it into the otaku niche - an audience of perpetual children failed to mature. It's just that in that particular genre Tri...

The new Osakan Angel is terrifying:



More info:

The word-filter functionality in the forum software is geared towards removing the seven words you couldn't say on TV or the modern-day equivalent thereof, and doesn't handle the case where the deprecated slang is applied as an affix. At best it would locate just the affixed words and replace them ...

Honest question with regards to a recently closed thread that was closed after the original author was repeatedly told to stop using a certain word : If the word in question is banned, why don't you just add it to the list of banned words that will show up as asterisks in people's posts? AFAIK, most...

I felt the direction and actual content of the story went in completely different directions. Visuals were great, but they were also convinced this was Evangelion when it was a pretty simple children's show. The action scenes were great throughout, and the best episode is the one featuring the best...

Well, they were okay neighbours in general (of course, considering the utter clusterfuck that Psycho Neighbour was at my previous apartment building, about anyone who isn't batshit crazy is going to be a "okay neighbour"...), which is why a comment like that out of the blue was rather shoc...
