  1. I believe in life after love.
  2. Sweet, getting to the good part.
  3. Huh, I had no idea. I don't think I've heard anyone mention it in a solid decade.
  4. People remember Gantz?
  5. Poke, I know you didn't mean anything negative by it, but maybe try to avoid putting opinions into other people's mouths in the future. My thoughts on series are my own, and I don't align them with anyone else's just for the sake of doing so. If I've had a lot of the same opinions over the years as someone else, maybe it's because we've both seen enough anime to recognize the massive writing and character development issues that most of the series you mentioned share. I don't think it's hard to see how multiple people would reach the same conclusions about them. And I have never once said anything about Food Wars implying that it's "great." What I've said is that it is utterly hilarious, because it commits so hard to its over-the-top nature and never once lets up, and it's a blast to watch because of that. It's a series that knows exactly what it wants to be and does it very well.
  6. That is literally how they plug you into the Matrix.
  7. One of those podcasts is not like the others...
  8. Tell me one thing Black Clover does that hasn't been done much better by at least a dozen other past shounen series. Give me more than two or three characters who aren't solely defined by one single hideously-annoying personality quirk that's repeated ad nauseam every single time they're on-screen. (Any time the Black Bulls are gathered together I want to murder everything.) Show me one example of the series trying to take itself seriously that hasn't been crippled by ham-fisted writing. About the only thing I'll give Black Clover is that its animation team has managed to produce some jaw-dropping set pieces during big climactic battles. But everything else is derivative paint-by-numbers mediocre shounen with an eminently-punchable cast. And what are you even on about Poke.
  9. ANNCast was fantastic for a very long time. RIP Zac.
  10. The US pays more than twice per capita for healthcare than the vast majority of western countries yet ranks somewhere in the high-teens to mid-20s in most tangible metrics of healthcare outcomes. Try again Jingo.
  11. I've forced myself through the whole thing so far and it's still utterly mediocre at best and a raging dumpster fire at worst.
  12. I've been ordering from RightStuf for something like 13 years now. Their packaging is fantastic, and the few times I've had to deal with their customer service, I've been happy with the result.
  13. ...it's had one for three months.
  14. Just the thought of that crossover makes me throw up a bit in my mouth.
  15. Now I remember why I haven't had anything to do with [as] outside of Saturday nights for the better part of a decade. Because they fucking suck.
  16. I have done my level best to forget having to sit through that on SyFy, yes.
  17. Fairy Tail is what happens when someone really really wants to be Oda but then realizes he can't write for shit and just throws boobs all over the place.
  18. Goddammit you made me hungry.
  19. He wants to fuck his little sister.
  20. Announcing a literal block of wood as the voice of Ryo!
  21. "Here are all the characters I don't play anymore because of decades of sexual harassment!"
  22. I hate most kinds of socializing and even I'm starting to miss people.
  23. I get your point, but at the same time there's a two-decade-old tradition of Toonami making videos about serious subjects which incorporate show clips. I don't think the intent is to belittle the severity of these issues by comparing them to the struggles of a cartoon character, but instead to say, "We air a lot of shows about people overcoming huge odds and fighting for what they believe in, but this is something real that requires you to actually fight for it."
  24. The only reward Vic deserves is a cellmate named Bubba.
  25. Lazzo is absolutely a complete piece of shit.
