    They're somethin' else.

    Crimson Tears. Cyberpunk beat-em-up dungeon crawler that just couldn't hold a candle to Tobal 2 nor Ehrgeiz's Quest Modes.

    Definitely not gay.

    Let me tell you guys


    about FATAL

  • fourteenwingsfourteenwings
    There is love everywhere, I already know

    There was this series called Kiddy Girl-And...

  • DYREDYRE

    Incidentally, I actually kind of am interested in Shattered Angels (aka. Kyoushirou to Towa no Sora), because I want more Chikane and Himeko, but since it's a big crossover I feel like I should familiarize myself with most of the other series first...

    OOOooooOoOoOOoo, I'm a ghoOooOooOOOost!
    ^^^You do realize that's not the full title, right?

    @fourteenwings - I think that goes in the crappy title, crappy content bin.

  • fourteenwingsfourteenwings
    There is love everywhere, I already know

    The name kind of good...

  • DYREDYRE

    Durarara!! has a cool name (or rather, I think DRRR!! is a cool abbreviation), but frankly I don't have the slightest interest in watching it.


    Pretty much everything else I can think of right now that has a cool name does interest me in some way (even if, admittedly, it's mostly because of the name... >.>).

  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human

    I disagree.  First, "and" what?.  Second, it sounds a bit sketchy.


    The most reasonable possibility for reinterpretation I think is to read it as "Kiddy Girl Land", as in a world or territory ("Land") where young women ("Kiddy Girl") call the shots.

  • DYREDYRE

    Actually, the way it's written in katakana, I think it'd be closer to Kiddy Garland, which... would be silly, for sure.

    I dunno, it always seemed like a cute little name to me...


    Back on topic: Pretty Rhythm/Pretty Rhythm Aurora Dream, how are these not magical girl anime? I mean the idol genre is so overdone that the only good one running at the moment (AKB0048) had to be combined with Guerrilla warfare! Unless we count Natsuiro Kiseki, which still has magic+Slice of life more than Idol anyways.

  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey
    Creature - Florida Dragon Turtle Human

    How many idol series are there?


    I only know of two, The iDOLM@STER and AKB0048.

    Aren't there only like... two idol anime series running now anyway?


    ^ Tons, if you're counting things that finished airing.

  • glennmagusharveyglennmagusharvey

    I never knew it was a thing.  I was only introduced to the genre earlier this year.

  • fourteenwingsfourteenwings
    There is love everywhere, I already know

    ^^ Natsuiro doesn't count since it's only idol associated because it's a vehicle for a real world idol group and only one of the girls really wants to be an idol. Unless you mean something else.

  • DYREDYRE
    edited 2012-06-01 11:02:30

    Pretty Rhythm: Dear My Future, of course.


    ^^ Fair enough.  But it's been an established genre since forever (or at least since the 70s-80s)

    @DYRE:

    It just reads as DURRR HURRR to me.

  • DYREDYRE

    Sure does.  But I think it looks cool, as long as I don't try to actually read it... or something.

  • ForzareForzare
    Till shade is gone, till water is gone, into the Shadow with teeth bared, screaming defiance with the last breath, to spit in Sightblinder’s eye on the last Day.
    I think this is less annoying than stories that you really like that have shitty titles.
  • MalkavianMalkavian
    MORONS! I'VE GOT MORONS ON MY PAYROLL!

    ^Like Justice League Dark. >_>

    Midnight Sun, third book of the Twilight series.


    Highschool of the Dead. There are so many ways you could take that title besides an unintentionally creepy jiggle-show.

    @Iaculus:

    Midnight Sun, third book of the Twilight series.
    Actually, I think that's the name of the perspective-flip that never got released because Smeyer threw a hissy fit when part of it leaked. It's definitely not one of the actual books, which are Twilight, New Moon, Eclipse, and Breaking Dawn. (I WORK IN A HIGH SCHOOL LIBRARY OKAY.)

    Violence and creepy misplaced fanservice is the entire point of exploitation movies, so it really shouldn't be that much of a shock that that's what Highschool of the Dead is about.

    ^^ He's right. I've read all of the books because I like pain.


    ^ I think this actually extends to most fanservice based shows with interesting premises.

    I dunno, Highschool of the Dead sounds like a relatively nonthreatening harem show rather than MATRIX BOOBS. 


    ETA: I'd expect MATRIX BOOBS from a show called "University of the Dead", though. :P

  • fourteenwingsfourteenwings
    There is love everywhere, I already know
    nonthreatening harem

    Harem is threatening, you never know when to expect it. Sometimes it just happens in the middle of your cool serious show...

  • EelektrossEelektross

    I mean seriously, FATAL sounds like the title of a totally fucking cool game


    but it's full of RAPE RAPE RAPE RAPE

  • IaculusIaculus

    Violence and creepy misplaced fanservice is the entire point of exploitation movies, so it really shouldn't be that much of a shock that that's what Highschool of the Dead is about.


    We're talking about the title on its own without any context, though.


    Imagine it, it could have been a comedy about a school for the undead, a psychological horror about someone regaining consciousness in their ruined classroom when the Bomb goes off... any number of things.
