The Steins;Gate dub is the best dub of the year.
Well, there's only like a single clip out but it is so neeeeeeeeerdyyyy...
^^ Pretty much.
^ Huh?
It's entertainment, wasting time is the point of it.
No, the point is to be entertained, which typically doesn't happen if you're forcing yourself to watch something you don't like.
Forcing oneself to watch a show you don't like? I've never done that.
That's what "Also, I make a point of not dropping anything" implies.
Unless you somehow manage to enjoy every single show you watch.
That's really it. I usually watching shows that I think have good stories or premises, some can turn mediocre or even just godawful, but even from bad shows we learn, and I like learning. To build an understading of any subject is really fun for me.
So the last Persona 4 BD came out apparently, including a Directors Cut version of the last episode and the True Ending, I guess I have to get back to that now.
We got a replacement copy of Spirited Away recently after losing the disc about two years ago. Which is good, because it's one of the few things that my sister and I can agree is great.
I have never seen Spirited Away.
And, really, I don't have any plans to. I've never had any real interest in watching any Ghibli movies. Though Howl's Moving Castle was really good.
Wait what?
I... just don't have any desire to watch it?
I mean, I wouldn't be opposed to watching it if, like, I was with my friends and they wanted to watch it or something, but it's pretty unlikely that I'll end up watching it on my own any time soon.
I saw Spirited Away!
Well, I was ten and I was also playing some GBA thing at the same time. I've seen some Ghibli movies though. Whisper of the Heart, Grave Of The Fireflies, Porco Rosso and The Secret World Of Arriety (that was cause I wanted to see Voice Acting Bridgit Mendler, it was good though) but it's not like I'll ever get excited about a new Ghibli movie (Or I want to see any of the others).
Princess Mononoke is pretty much the best movie ever.
So I saw that episode of Sword Art Online.
Things I liked:
Things I didn't like:
The best part was that you could see the exact frame her heart got torn to pieces. I mean, the worst, part, sure.
For some reason I dreamed that I somehow got myself the Magic Knight Rayearth manga for US$15 and a box set of Kiddy Grade for US$10. (Even though I know the latter is about US$30.)

It was like:
Lizbeth:(I am gonna tell him I like him now)
Kirito is approach by Asuna
Both share smiles to one another.
Lizbeth: You guys...know each other -Insert heartwrenching realization here-
I noticed Lizbeth shows up in the OP, so I might as well just pick this up (It's entertaining if nothing else, and the 'STAY AWAY MEN PLAYING BIG BOY GAMES' misogyny is really funny).
Is that an Aura expy I see in the last 'LOOK! It's a Harem!' shot?
Original web version of the story that became Episode 7, hahahahahahaha that is really creepy.
I didn't like Princess Mononoke all that much.
^ Also, that wouldn't be the first time a girl Kirito just met randomly decides to sleep in the same bed as him.
Princess Mononoke was all right, but not enough so that I could stay awake watching it at 12:00 at night.
Was just at an anime club meeting for the place I'm going to now.
It's...different from the anime club at the last place I went to. Well, granted, the semester hasn't started yet, and this was just, like, an "interest" meeting, with no agenda or anything. So most of the time was actually spent watching whatever on Youtube or looking up whatever on the web on a big screen and with speakers. There was some anime watching in there, and a while was spent looking at figurines. Or rather, pictures of them. (Apparently, several of these people collect figurines, or at least have an interest in doing so.)
Of that "whatever" that was shown, there was definitely more male-oriented fanservice than female-oriented fanservice.
I noticed that there were far more guys than girls. This is in contrast to the club at my previous school, which was about evenly split between the two.
Maybe it was the fact that this is the "anime and gaming" club that helped cause that. There was a point when the room had (before it really started filling) more game design/technology people than people doing/studying something else, and we all know how male-skewed the game industry is...
Then again, the approximately four of us (at the last place I was at) who huddled over the computer long after club meetings ended are all male, but we spent our time looking up Vocaloid music. Then again, that's partly because one of us was familiar with and interested in that stuff. And I enjoyed it more since I like music.
Anyway, observations:
1. Guys ogling over attractive female characters in figurines and fanart doesn't seem much different from guys ogling over net-downloaded or calendar or poster pictures of bikini girls.
2. People don't have the illusion that body pillows are anything like real-life relationships. On the other hand, they function as a convenient "mark of humiliation" that people use in a way that's similar to pretty much any social activity that involves people doing embarrassing or foolhardy things.
The really important question, though, is...
how shitty was everyone's taste?
Well, the anime they randomly decided to watch bits of included:
* Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei (sp? whatever "Goodbye, Mr. Despair" is)
* Nichijou (or however that's spelled)
* Magical Pokaan
* Cromartie High School
Yeah, definitely of the "crazy shit happens for comedy" persuasion (at least that's the case for all but Pokaan, which I don't know)...which is definitely not my taste. I'm a drama person who likes taking shows seriously; I have yet to figure out how my sense of humor works and so far it only clicks on a few odd things like Look Around You (the mock edutainment show).
At least it wasn't Dog Days or Highschool DxD, right? And the first two are really good shows.
I really should start on Tari Tari, I haven't even seen a single episode!
The only show I hadn't heard of is Magical Pokaan.
But Dog Days is actually alright, even if the whole series is just an excuse for the creator to write about even more animal-eared people than he could in his other works.
As for Highschool DxD idunno.
I think I got bored of that show so I dropped it. I'm not sure though. I might have just dropped it for no reason.
I've heard of it!
Not that that means anything, since I haven't seen it. Or most of the other shows GMH listed. Except for Nichijou.
I missed it when they showed it, so...isn't that the one with...the vampire, the werewolf, the witch, and the robot?
Yes.
You would also get faster answers if you just looked it up yourself.
