Top Gun

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.

I could completely understand people having a problem with the random okama in the series, since despite being portrayed as good guys they do pile on that particular stereotype incredibly heavily, but for my money Ivankov is a downright progressive character. They (I feel justified going with gender-neutrals here) don't really give a damn about gender in the least, switching between both at a whim, and gives an equal lack of shits about how anyone views them. They're all about absolute personal freedom. I really don't get this mentality. How does someone being an insufferable git about a certain piece of entertainment affect your own enjoyment of it in any way? Just ignore them and watch what you want.

God I hope someone gets video.

Well that took less time than expected.

The Straw Hats thinking someone was dead does not imply they were actually dead. And no one in the Navy ever said that character was killed.

The first season wasn't made by them either.

Neither of those characters were killed in the first place, especially not the latter. I have no idea where you're getting that from. I mean, literally the first rule of shounen is "Nobody's dead until you see the body."

...fucking hell I can't goddamn stand it when companies do that. "So you bought this a few months ago? Lol sorey, here's brand-new shit we didn't have before! Enjoy giving us more money!" Wait, no...I'm holding the BD set in my hands right now, and it has the exact same extras listed as this release, including an OVA. It's literally the same thing.

It's already been available on Blu-ray for several years. This is just FUNi putting out a new release with DVDs included as well.

I'd be interested in hearing how you found that Rabbit site to work in practice, as I hadn't heard of it before now. The old AD animu-watching group we still have plodding along has everyone queue up the episodes and countdown to start playing. The one benefit we've found over the years is that, when someone's connection was flaky (especially when we were still using AIM, dear lord), so long as everyone was connected when we started, everyone could still stay on-pace with the episode through any disconnects.

Just play BioShock instead. You get all of the same Objectivist nonsense, plus you get to hit freakish genetic mutants with a wrench!

This thread is the best entertainment I've had in weeks.
