yeah, we should promote sakurai, he's the best, the pseudo Hentai Kamen

Well Yeah, but I like something Whacky yet Great like Sora no Otoshimono XD

Do you watch or read ero-guro? If you do, can you recommend? It's hard to find a good one without pussy maggots.

Okay.

Well, okay. I didn't mean that it was good and suddenly got worse (although I do think there was a drop in quality between R1 and R2). What I meant was, Code Geass tried to do a lot of things, and failed because it tried to do more than it was capable of doing.

It's no more a term to push an idea than any other statement of opinion.

That's not exactly what I meant by that phrase, but close enough. As long as we're clear that it was a statement of opinion, that's all that matters.

"No matter how bad a series is I will never call it shit. Someone enjoys that show for whatever reason and who am I to say it is so awful that it doesn't do something for them?"

But that isn't what you're saying. You're just saying that it's shit. Which is your opinion. What they think is completely irrelevant. You're still viewing this as a person vs. person thing, but interpersonal conflict is irrelevant - it's you vs. the show.

"Calling it shit will always seem as though you are trying to push your idea of it whether that is actually true or not."

Sometimes a pipe is just a pipe. Calling something "shit", by no part of its literal or figurative meaning, implies that any more than any other statement of opinion. If you think that's what they mean by it, you're projecting.

"You begun by saying in an offhanded statement while discussing another topic that code geass "Crashed and Burned". This in my opinion is the biggest reason this annoyed me. I understand if you dislike or hate a series, everyone does. However, To say that a series crashed and burned when no such thing ever happened is uncalled for. Code Geass was successful in every manner. The majority of people that watched the series gave it positive light. Whether you like the show or not it did not crash and burn. It did fine. So when I see you say that and I know it is false then I assume you are trying your damnedest to find anything wrong with it. That one statement makes it look as if you are trying to cause issues for a reason that does not even exist."

You really seem to be making some weird interpretations of words and phrases. "Crashed and burned" is a metaphor. It can mean a large number of things depending on context. You keep saying it HAS to mean that it failed commercially, or popularly, but that isn't what that phrase means. It CAN mean it, but it didn't this time. I've told you it didn't mean that already, but you keep insisting. I am using it to say the show is BAD, in pure terms of quality - popular opinion has nothing to do with it and neither do sales figures. My opinion is the only thing that has to do with it.

I'm using it as a metaphor for something Icarus-esque. Code Geass was a very ambitious show, and it is my opinion that its ambition resulted in its failure - like Icarus falling from the sky after flying too close to the sun. Hence, "crashed and burned".

"You do realize though that when you use words like that it makes you sound extremely aggressive towards a specific point."

Yes. That is the point. If I consider a show to be worse than what "bad" would imply, then a more extreme adjective is needed, hence "shit". No matter which word I used, your response was still uncalled for.

"You are right about popularity sometimes surrounding a bad show. However I am saying the show was a success in terms of how it was received in argument to your words 'The series crashed and burned"."

I don't really understand what your point is. Could you please rephrase?

"Lastly you talk negative about a show and when i say something I am now the one who attacked. If that is the case then fine. You said you didn't tell me anything until after I complained.

So when I see negative talk about a show and question it then I am the one to blame. Got it."

No, no, no. You don't seem to get it. You DIDN'T question it. Questioning it would be fine. I expected somebody to question it - Code Geass is a popular show, after all. If you had posted a message saying you disagreed with it, that would be fine. If you had asked where I was coming from, I would have explained it.

What you did was make a totally unfounded accusatory remark against me. I retaliated to that.

Thank you! Glad you liked it.

I changed it again. Like it even more?

I'll be honest, I've never actually played a VN! Though it's something I admit I kinda wanna get into - I've always liked 'choose your own adventure' kind of stuff.
Pardon me for my incompetency, but is it possible to play one on a Mac?
