Your review of Gunslinger Girl was exceptional. Never have I read something so articulate. I look forward to reading more of your work.

Not sure if you mind this comment or not, but congrats on completing over 300 manga series. That is quite a lot of manga even though some may be one-shots. ^^

Ooooh. This is what happens when you spend more time watching than reading. I must find that book again and read-read it. But, I think, that quote is form Skinner but the other one is from Watson... Confusing. People shouldn't say the same stuffs.
Thanks for the tips. I thought that the parenthesis kinda sucked and also that I used "I" so much. Apparently that's bad.
And, no problem. I don't know why, but I don't want people on the Internet wasting time reading my ramblings. Could be watching animu/reading manga, haha!

Haven't seen "the professional" yet, but it's been on my plan to watch for a while.
Actually (sadly) I've not really seen any cyborg or little girl as killer shows with real films. I just imagine they might be better--If they did it really well. I mean, I've seen like Robocop and Machine Girl. But I don't think I could really make a comparison to those...completely different purpose there.

Hey. Sorry for the annoyance.
I read your gunslinger girl review and liked it a lot. You kind of touched on what I was thinking a little. It's a unique-ish show I liked a lot but in a different way. So, I've finished it finally and I wrote something up (pretty quickly so it might be "wrong" some places).
Do you think it touches on stuff you didn't? If not, I'll remove it as I don't see the point in similar statement things. And are there parts that suck about it? I don't really care about writing anymore but I would want to fix that one if I could.

Ooh, I must ask; Where did you get that lovely picture of Shiro-san from?
It's not in any of the current scanlated chapter is it?

Hi there,
The "Kira on MAL" strip really accurately comments any internet voting system. For example, there's a guy on MAL (don't remember his nickname though) who watched all Dragonballs, Naruto, and other similar shows, including all accompanying films, and then he rated all of them as "1 - unwatchable" and explained himself: "those were mistakes of the youth".
I think there can always be a reason to vote "1", but overusing it to mess with average scores is simply trolling. Nothing will ever change though, people as an anonymous internet crowd are true pinnacle of stupidity.

Based on what you brought up on the many 'No' votes of Gunslinger Girl, do you think there should be more club members discussing about series/characters so we can possibly understand where their objections come from? ^^

TBH, i have no idea myself. But one thing's for sure and that quote is definitely true.
It would be better to ask ZinnKid himself since he's the one spreading that quote around..

Oh, that's perfectly understandable; you simply made some comments on the matter, so I thought perhaps you had a position or some decision you wanted to enforce.

If you dislike e-pissing contests and superfluous bullshit as much as I do, why not do something, since you're now an admin at C&C?

Eh yeah. Pedophiles are like pop culture stuff. Lots of people go to that conclusion a lot easier now. Even moreso on internet. Like NAMBLA is hilarious. Never even knew about that when I was younger and wouldn't have thought about it.
LOL @ penguin thing. Actually I lied. I don't think about sex that much anymore but you know, not ashamed of it.

Haha, I was thinking the same thing when I was writing it :|
But forget him. He doesn't know.
I think about sex a lot. This is normal. What else is there? Keeping it as a pet, adopting her as a sister? More abnormal, somewhat creepy and I doubt it - otherwise they wouldn't have stated that the girl is Eighteen twice when they introduced her (not a Japan expert but I'm pretty sure dating or whatever is legal). They didn't say any of the ages for anyone else.
(Anyway I'm not even that morally inclined or something. Not: "I hate pedos because it's immoral." Have different reasons. But she's like autistic or some kind of savant, right? I don't know if you've seen it but she's kind of a retard, she barely speaks and has like shit social skills. She can make sculptures/art well though. Yeah she's Rain Man.
I think most would agree sex with mentally immature people is about as immoral as pedophilia. So even if she is 18. She doesn't act it or look it. That's why I thought Pedo(s).)
I'm just going to leave my response incomplete and unorganized as I cba right now. I actually like Freud's theories ;\ so I didn't go with the fuck him approach D:. I think you can see where I'm going anyway though? I'm hungry. I'll finish it later. I'm not projecting. I hate children and I like breasts. And umm not reaction forming or whatever either ;3.
Watch a few episodes and tell me if you don't agree. I'm still going to watch it anyhow.

Religion and politic discussions are a different matter though in debates, because it is a lot easier for personal feelings and moral issues to get in the way. Once personal feelings get in the way, then sometimes a s**twar happens since the individual would usually bring up the 'I'm right and you are wrong' scenario. Anime/Manga is pretty much entertainment so it doesn't let personal feelings get in the way all that much even though sometimes debates can end up in s**twars as well which can be pretty silly.
When it comes to debates though, you always have to ask yourself on what is the best approach when debating with another. Sometimes making gains on understanding another is a plus because you want to understand on where the other person is coming from. ^^

I used to think that "debates" were amusing but I've gotten tired of all that stubbornness.
I somehow notice your post on the Open Discussion thread at C&C. I'm not so sure if it had anything to do with that debate with ShaolinRibiero and Archaeon earlier at C&C since they have been doing that a few times before. Then of course there was that rant with ShaolinRibiero and FreakyDeaky.
Also how was the Undercurrent manga, Yuunagi? ^^

This is a mass message to all my friends that I know fairly well in MAL:
Recently, I have been looking up a few long series besides LotGH during the time-off I had in Spring Break.
1) I have recently completed an anime series called Touch that has 101 episodes. Even though the anime is from the 1980's which makes the animation dated, it was still very nice to look up at. There has hardly been any scenes that threw me back in looking up animation. The biggest strengths Touch truly brought is its story and its characters.
From what the story brought, it provides great writing in its episodes that makes you realize that there never was a bad episode. It is for the most part a very well done sports/slice of life/romance story that provides great results along with a few unexpected surprises you cannot believe.
It is hard to believe that I find so many characters very well-developed in Touch, but ever since I finished it they truly were among that class. The story of Touch features three childhood friends growing up where an older brother (Tatsuya) wants to do nothing, an younger brother (Kazuya) who is a very talented pitcher in baseball, and the cute girl (Minami) who lives next door. I thought the developments of these characters were carried out very well throughout the story, especially with Tatsuya growing up and realizing that he has to overcome his younger brother's shadow. It is not just the main characters, some of the supporting characters brought alot towards making Touch even more enjoyable. Some characters would include Harada taking the role of supporting Tatsuya at times, Koutarou the catcher who somehow brings an important heart in supporting the baseball team, and the antagonist Kashiwaba Eijiro that seems to truly challenge the main characters in a agenda he hopes to gain.
-This is how I see it from Touch which certainly earns the title of classic and it is certainly no contest that I gave it a 10 along with putting it in my favorites list. The only main drawback is don't expect the series to be mostly baseball because the story provides so many other things that help make it very good to enjoy.
2) I have also recently caught up with the manga One Piece. The biggest reason on why I did that was I always wonder if One Piece was consider one of the very best Shounen series. When I have caught up to 538 chapters, giving it a 10 and putting it in my favorites list somehow made me realize that the hype from One Piece is a proven fact. It seems that every time I read a new arc in One Piece the manga can do no wrong but continue to get better in its results. In due honesty some of you are thinking, "Anime-Destiny, are you kidding me that One Piece is truly that great of a shounen series?" To you all, this is what I truly meant. For a shounen to continue bringing great arcs every time it makes me realize that the author Oda is truly a genius in his work. His work somehow does something that popular shounen series like Naruto or Bleach weren't able to accomplish and that is to continue bringing great story arcs one after another.
-The only drawbacks that you may have with One Piece and I can acknowledge them is that the artwork may take some time getting used to. However, I find the art style of Oda's work unique because it presents to you this different world compare to the real world. Also, the early arcs of One Piece will start out slow to you but once you get passed the Arlong arc I'm sure you will enjoy the fun and intense ride in what the arcs provide to you as an audience. ^^
