Knowing that something is terrible and still wanting it.

My local Anime Store has a box set. It is of the series Maburaho. ANN trashed the fuck out of it. And I know that it's generic harem bullcrap with uninteresting characters and fanservice. But I still want some T&A dammit

    Yeah surely you acquire T&A from the internet for free?

    Abyss: I'd prefer not to be a leeching cancer on anime fandom, thank you very much.

    Also, I like to own things in real life. Fuck digital ownership, that's just a bunch of ones and zeroes. I'd like to hold my purchase in my hands, thank you.
  • RedEyedAbyssRedEyedAbyss

    But surely there are other sources of T&A that don't involve giving up money. Even animated T&A.

    I don't know, they all look the same to me.

    If it's as terrible as you think it is, why do you think that it's deserving of your money?

    The people who spend money on things they admit are crap have a far worse effect on the industry.

    Also the data on a DVD is every bit as digital as the data of a video file on your hard drive.

    Spend your money on something more worthwhile. It can even be porn, but at least it should be well-made porn, rather than terrible porn. Otherwise, you're basically cheating yourself out of a whole other dimension of entertainment, as well as enforcing the unfortunate stereotype that certain anime fans will buy anything for fanservice.

    You don't want to be that guy.

    Have to agree. Why buy a shitty series just for fanservice? Just buy porn. If you have anime stores, then there are definitely porn stores. I think porn stores stock hentai, if that's what you want.

    "The people who spend money on things they admit are crap have a far worse effect on the industry."

    This is a show licensed by ADV in like, 2004. My hypothetical purchase would have no effect on the decisions of licensors.

    "Also the data on a DVD is every bit as digital as the data of a video file on your hard drive."

    It's still a physical distinct object I can hold, which cannot be said for the digital file.

    " Just buy porn. If you have anime stores, then there are definitely porn stores. I think porn stores stock hentai, if that's what you want."

    I'm 16....

    And fuck porn. I hate it so much.

    ^You can take a file and burn it on a disc if it's that important.

    How much is this costing you anyway?
  • ChagenChagen
    [tɕagɛn]
    34 bucks.

    I'm probably not gonna buy it anyway. Maybe if I'm bored and me and my bro (non-relational) need some shit to watch

    Yeeeeah, that's too much for a bad series or even a mediocre series. Especially for something like wanting a physical product in your hands.
  • gentlemanorcusgentlemanorcus
    34 bucks? Really? I would't spend that much money on good series, much less on a bad series with tits and ass.

    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.
    Plus, you can always go on Danbooru or something for anime T&A.  That's not a great thing to spend money on.

    Save it for something halfway decent.

    "Fuck porn, I hate it so much."


    "I want some T & A."


    That is a contradiction, resolvable only by finding an IRL girlfriend. I wouldn't tell her your primary interest is her body however, unless you like being slapped.

    Some Random Comments:

    1) Why would anyone choose to buy porn, there's like, tons of it, for free.

    2) I still don't understand why someone would want to watch cartoon porn, I mean, do whatever floats your boat it doesn't really concern me. But you know there's tons of real girls out there, with proper bodies and everything. Some of them even let you touch them.

    3) Why waste your money on something you don't think you'll like? Especially when there are tons of it for free.

    4) Where the hell do you get all your money Chagen? Do you have a job or something?

    My inner armchair psychologist/Captain Obvious tells me people fap to fanservicey crap precisely because of its generic meritless self-insert protagonist and its borderline raciness. It retains a flimsy layer of romance while creating enough porn-premise situations to fantasize about, and thus somehow feels less pervy and debasing for the people who need to get over themselves.

  • captainbrasscaptainbrass

    ^ Well, remember, Chagen's apartment block has a vending machine in the lobby.


    I mean, the streets must be paved with gold round there. If I ever find out the location, I'm emigrating.

    Having a vending machine in the lobby suddenly means its high class?
  • captainbrasscaptainbrass

    Well, I've never had one in any block of flats I've lived in. Round here it would be a prime target for theft.


    A few weeks after I moved into this neighbourhood, someone stole all the lead from the church roof (it was the third attempt). Shortly after that, there was a riot. We dream of vending machines in our lobbies.

    Anime women are hotter and I'm terribpe at real-life interaction

    "3) Why waste your money on something you don't think you'll like? Especially when there are tons of it for free."

    Because I'm bored

    "4) Where the hell do you get all your money Chagen? Do you have a job or something?"

    Having a dad who makes $82,000 a year as a lawyer

    "That is a contradiction"

    Not really there's something about hardcore porn I hate

    I hated that time when our high school increased the number of vending machines around the campus.

    In other words, because cartoons do not react.
