Top Gun

If they're still acquiring Gundam series, cost/benefit suggests they have to be satisfied with the numbers they're seeing. I kind of thought it was an accepted fact by now that trying to interpret Nielsen nonsense is an exercise in futility.

80%. Not bad for having seen exactly zero of them.

Unicorn was fantastic, albeit reliant on at least a passing knowledge of Universal Century Gundam. Tokyo Ghoul is...what it is, but there is an audience for it. But really this is the old "I don't like shows X and Y so therefore no one will watch them" argument that I was hoping could be left in the fetid grave of the ASMB. So much for that.

Yeah man playing shows people want is such a bitch.

I know nothing about finances, but I'd qualify McDonald's, Burger King, and Wendy's as the main trio just by virtue of being the default nationwide burger joints. Most other burger chains seem to be more regional.

Yeah I'm calling bullshit on that. He looked like he was about 7.

Wendy's is easily the best of the big three.

I like having a beard, but neckbeard can go straight to hell and die.

Or hey maybe it's that, and hold on because I know this is a wild concept, having dedicated folders for topics a substantial chunk of your userbase wants to discuss is how forums have operated since they were first conceived.

HORRY SHEEEEET!

Ugh, I wouldn't go nearly that far. Death Note was at the very least watchable, but it wasn't remotely the sort of intellectual fare that so many of its fans hold it up to be. All it really did was replace the standard sort of shounen power-up posturing with the equivalent overly-verbose dialogue posturing. I remember that one episode where Light and L were playing tennis against each other, and their inner monologues were literally that meme image of "Now it is I who am behind you!" It was completely insufferable writing. Then there was the fact that the authors disposed of one of the best elements of the story at the halfway point and had absolutely nothing of consequence to replace them with, which just smacks of narrative incompetence. But what frustrates me the most is that the series never made any pretenses at making any sort of judgement, whether positive or negative, on Light's actions. The authors have admitted as much too. If you're going to create a character like Light, at least have the balls to make some sort of statement about him. Let's call a spade a spade: Death Note was a mostly standard shounen with unique window dressing and an insufferable twat of a protagonist that managed to squander the very real potential it had. Now if you want a truly-good cat-and-mouse game that actually dwells on the nature of evil, go watch/read yourself some Monster.

Also "puberty."

Dude, like 300 people watch that stream. Do you think it will have even the remotest effect on the marathon?

Honestly Death Note was pretty terrible taken as a whole, so I can't see how they can make it worse. The Dafoe casting was brilliant.

yeah man basic social standards suck balls don't they

How can you say you love her if you won't eat her poop?!

Eh, I love cranberry ginger ale. Canada Dry did this limited-time blackberry ginger ale a year or two back that was amazing.

I think people just see the splash screen when the server's down and think RAWR CLOUDFLARE without actually realizing they're not the host.

because you touch yourself at night

So basically it's fucking terrible then?

He spams the same bullshit in every thread, much of which involves acting like an ephebophile. That's not being a contrarian, that's being a creepy asshole.

Hell, I imported the Australian DVD release of Sym-bionic Titan, but I don't think even they got all of Megas.

Honest question for Viper though: I think Luuv already posts plenty around here, but just why is it a requirement that he's constantly buddy-buddy all over the place with everyone? Does it make him less of an admin if he's not? I have known multiple site admins over the years who were mostly hands-off with day-to-day interactions, but still did a fine job of hosting a community. That's honestly all I want out of an admin, and anything beyond that as a bonus. Hell, I have pretty fundamental disagreements with Luuv re: moderation philosophy, but I'm still fine with being here.

Still catching up and finding more gems... I feel like most of us would rather communicate via carrier pigeons than join any sort of site founded on this idiocy. Unless we do it to munch popcorn at the inevitable train wreck.
