Top Gun

No, we haven't. Not high-tech products subject to both public and private regulatory groups. But please, cite me an example of personal electronics capable of delivering LETHAL DOSES OF RADIATION for absolutely no reason.

...$50 for an initial 13-episode release isn't even close to "outrageous." That's not even accounting for being smart and waiting for RightStuf or Sentai's frequent sales, which can knock about 50% off the MSRP.

That's because it's out-of-print. We're talking about currently-sold series. Really the only things that are absurdly expensive are those released by Aniplex of America and Pony Canyon, who can both fuck right the hell off.

Getting down to that ideal prison weight?

Or do like me and buy a ton of shit sight-unseen because lol who needs money amirite? (no I don't have a problem why are you looking at me like that)

Hell I lift the seat with my shoe. Works just fine.

The literal fuck.

If you want a legitimately awesome series based on augmented reality done right, check out Dennou (or Deh-noh) Coil.

...I'm not sure I've ever heard of a more navel-gazing specialization.

The old AD crew still used it regularly up until a few months ago, when we saw the writing on the wall and bailed to Discord. Thanks for the memories. *doorclose*

I live in southeast PA and have never heard of "mega fries" as a specific entity. My arteries are hardening just reading about them though.

SAO immediately falls to pieces in the first episode when you stop and ask yourself how a VR headset with a FUCKING MICROWAVE EMITTER made it anywhere near the market.

Guess I should be thankful that I'm using Schoology, though I don't have the kids submit too many assignments online in the first place. I utterly sympathize with the new levels of dumb they can manage to generate on a daily basis though.

No, he's absolutely that stupid.

I honestly always thought that his music sucked, but this is still shitty news to top off a horrifically shitty day.

It's fun watching human garbage self-immolate.

That is the singularly worst fucking headline I have ever seen. Just...fuck.

The Miller test is one of the worst pieces of case law in American history.

...and why don't they? The best works in any entertainment medium are frequently created to hold a mirror to real life. Numerous anime series have addressed actual political issues, even though Japan doesn't have quite the same tradition of overt political satire as much of the West does. By all accounts the scene in question was originally written to call out creepy exploitation of women; FUNi just punched the dialog up a bit, as they tend to do.

God forbid someone call out creepy fucks for being creepy fucks.

Every time I start feeling bad about myself, I remember that zeni exists and it brightens up my whole day.

Driving probability students batty for decades.

No, he really doesn't deserve better. He's been a jobber for decades.

Reading comprehension, ladies and gentlemen.

Thanks for the invites, but with all the watching stuff I'm already locked into every week I don't really have the time or will to get in on this. (Doesn't help that I've seen this part of the show at least twice previously.) I'm glad to see people making a weekly thing of it though.
