Top Gun

I have a cabal? Fucking sweet. Hey cabal, assemble!

There is no God.

Every time the mass media appends another goddamn prefix to a perfectly-normal event I die a little more inside.

Ben you realize that far more people are interested in his posts than any of your drooling bullshit, right?

Call Brock.

Y'all don't know what you're talking about, candy corn kicks ass. But only legit Brach's. Budget candy corn is vile.

Fantastic show, and easily one of the very best dubs of all time.

ITT ben complains that HxH explains too much while simultaneously complaining about the world-building it does via showing instead of telling.

Yeah, the 2011 adaptation didn't really nail things until Yorknew City, or maybe Heaven's Arena. The Hunter Exam as a whole was far better in the 1999 series.

I don't think there's a snowball's chance in hell Oda ever works on anything else substantial. This is his magnum opus. Then again he's probably a robot, soooo.

I kind of want to pat most of you on the head and say "There, there..."

120-ish is probably a far safer bet.

I like how Ben is still salty that his own beloved shounen got put down early because of its incompetent writing while Togashi can trickle out a single volume per year and still pull off huge sales because readers actually enjoy his world-building.

That Opening Ceremony should go off with a bang, then?

The best kind of boob.

Oh yeah, that's clearly right out. Totally.

All of this is exactly why I was never able to suspend my disbelief from the get-go. People piloting giant robots fueled by manly spirit, people eating magical fruits that turn them into rubber or smoke or fire, people able to shoot beams out of their hands that can blow up a planet, those things I have no problem with. They're set in the realm of pure fantasy, so I can accept them implicitly. Even something like Ghost in the Shell that describes a 2030 very detached from the reality we will most likely see in another decade is completely forgivable, since it was written in the late 80s and joins a long, proud tradition of sci-fi that's a bit too over- or under-ambitious about what the future will bring. But if you're going to set your story just a handful of years in the future, based largely on technology that already exists, and you make a ridiculously-implausible setup with logic holes one could fly a 747 through, you deserve to be ripped for it.

Plus that tentacle plant that licked the loli waifu.

I don't really give a shit whether the picks are obvious or obscure, as long as they're enjoyable.

Glad to know the franchise continues to be irredeemable garbage.

*sees like 20 Ben posts in a row* *nope.avi* Oh good, I see he's doing the whole "I have a massive IQ yet can't read basic social cues and have no ability to analyze a text" thing.

I hope you literally choke on your rage.
