Re: My YouTube rant

Yeah, living in Texas, I heard A LOT of "Oh, well, they're just getting what they deserved from God!" when the quake/tsunami hit. I seriously couldn't believe that. I rarely look at Youtube comments simply because most of the time it's bullcrap like that. :|

Re: The old-school anime DVD/BD news thread.

Nice!! I want to get all of those, eventually. I remember having pretty much all of that on VHS at some point. XD

Re: My YouTube rant

Yeah, I noticed that, too. It's really annoying. I keep getting really weird video recommendations all the time now and it's really off-putting. :/

Re: No-Name Anime Club Ending in 2013

They probably say that because even though everyone else knows what anime is, they judge by what's been popular for the past 8-10 years and assume it's all garbage. This is actually better than it was 14 or so years ago, when those who thought they knew what anime was assumed it was all lesbian sch...

Re: What are you Watching?

I think some doujinshi artists and fanfic writers still call pieces they make with adult content "lemons". I remember when that was a really common term, too, heh. Some older H series actually have really great animation. It's been a long time since I saw Urotsukidoji, but I remember likin...

Re: So my manga hoarding has finally paid off (sorta)

Yeah! I'm actually quite excited about that...I have the first (and only) tankobon of the series, and I kept the magazine originally because it had the "last" chapter (and it wasn't enough to warrant a second tankobon, obviously)...but now everyone will be able to have access to it, so I t...

Re: No-Name Anime Club Ending in 2013

Thank goodness technology caught up with us and we no longer have to treat Japanese cartoons like precious objects - they're mass market cartoons meant for broadcast, not secret cult transmissions for 'club members only'. To me, that's what made anime back then exciting, like discovering something ...

So my manga hoarding has finally paid off (sorta)

One of my friends follows the blog of "Miss Dream", a scanlation team that has taken it upon themselves to translate not only all of Naoko Takeuchi's Sailor Moon and Sailor V manga over the years, but anything Sailor Moon related--so they're basically trying to translate ALL of Naoko Takeu...

Re: live-action versions of anime

Someone brought a copy of the live action Paradise Kiss movie to one of my anime shows last year. Since I'd never read the manga or seen any of the anime, I had no reason to be disappointed by it. Yeah, if you've never read/watched the series, then it wouldn't be a big deal...but if you know the or...
