[QUOTE=Doneeh;48216396]Hello, quick question for all you Japan experts.
I don't watch anime, but I was watching some anime about a biker turned teacher and over the course of a few episodes, I noticed there was some real emphasis on the importance of food. I don't know if it's just some self-inflicted stereotype of Japanese people or some shit, but they were making a fucking big ass deal about different types of tuna and their fatty parts and how one is more expensive than the other due to certain traits. I can't recall the examples entirely, but it definitely seemed different than western culture.
Also, I noticed the phrase "please eat a lot" being used a shit ton. I understand that's a gesture of hospitality, but damn, they say it way too fucking much.
Anyway, ideas? This is intriguing cultural research.[/QUOTE]
Basically the way I was told food is fairly expensive in japan(given the population vs farm land), so eating is generally looked forward to.
But yeah GTO owns. Golden boy? If I wanted to see a horny genius I'd watch myself masturbate in a mirror.

Anyone read a manga called Mahou shoujo site?
Picked it up and its pretty good. A different kind of mahou shoujo.
Brutal and dark, but good. Hooks you in from the first chapter.

you've got sloth-man with moldy hair back there and you're amazed by red hair that's a fuller shade of red than normal[/QUOTE]
This is a show where the entire premise falls apart if Shirayuki decided that her hair was more trouble than it's worth and bought some hair dye. Logic isn't its forte.
[QUOTE=RejectedPost;48209018]For anybody who cares, they just had a press conference debuting the new Gundam series.
[video=youtube;x4bzZX8iC_g]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x4bzZX8iC_g[/video]
Director is Nagai Tatsuyuki who seems to have done... not much at all. Toradora apparently?[/QUOTE]
Apparently I'm expected to go on at length about this. The designs look cool, there might be lots of mecha skating which is cool, it has flamenco which is cool, the character designs are interesting, the staff makes me cautious. That's pretty much all I have to say on the matter. I'm only a Gundam fanboy for the UC timeline, everything else I'm going to just treat like any other mecha show besides the fact that it has model kits attached.
I got back to Utena and finished it. Well, it definitely engaged me and everything but ultimately I'm not sure if I actually liked it or not. It was certainly interesting and it was engaging, so I'm not sure how I feel about it seeing as I marathon binged it.
What I [I]did[/I] like however, was The Tatami Galaxy, which was fucking brilliant, particularly the final two episodes which focus on something I've been wanting for ages.
Noticed a lot of people being disappointed with Yahari season 2. I actually liked it a lot more than season 1 which made me come out with a distinctly "eh whatever" feeling for the most part. Season 2 felt like it was moving and developing a lot more than the somewhat slower and by comparision more static first season.
Oh and Trunk got banned I guess. I'm not combing through those posts again just so I can reply to that post.

How do I fix this?

Well first you start by thumbing your images.
[editline]16th July 2015[/editline]
Secondly we might require more information. It could be fixed by switching to default subs and be a font problem, or the sub group might have just fucked up and it's unfixable without editing the subs.
You don't fix it, because that is Daisuki quality.

It's just that I've never seen a show where a character being in SD style, particularly when they clash with everybody else drawn in normal proportions, has made anything funnier. Often it detracts from the jokes.
"the author is a lazy piece of shit" mostly comes from way back when I was first getting into manga and getting really tired of running into switch-to-SD-for-comedy that was usually very obviously the artist cutting corners. Obviously it's not the artist being lazy if the entire material is built around it but I highly doubt that the SD would do anything but get on my nerves.

I'm kinda sick of this routine already though. The concept of shit taste is really stupid, I like using way too much hyperbole in my posts but I hope I'm not being actually being taken seriously at all. Anybody who genuinely whines about what other people like or don't like and believes that their opinion is somehow worth more than anybody else's is retarded. "i don't like thing that much" just tends to come out as "thing is fucking awful it's the worst if you like it i hope you get die". I can only tell people that they're stupid for liking something before I start worrying that people think I'm being even slightly serious. Who fucking cares if you like SD or idols or whatever.
It's kind of depressing to come back after a month and the first thing I establish is that I hate everything.
The point is that weetbix tastes horrible, I don't know how anybody can eat that stuff.
