I might say something about how your fansubs are better than your forum posts, but I'm trying hard these days not to be an ass to people. Please, in your own best interests, avoid making more posts like this one. They're kind of embarrassing, and...

If you truely are from AEN then you shouldnt feed trolls, it will simply make us talk more shit about your crap.

Truth. Bonta-Kun, please, in your own best interests, never associate with people like Tallon again.

As for LK, its got nothing to do with 4chan, ive always talked that way and said those things, the only thing to do with 4chan thats done anything with the way i deal with people is ill sometimes use a meme or two (tl;dr, etc). Other than that, i was always pretty much an annoying asshole who flames people for the hell of it. Just like my blog, you're wrong, its not 'more 4chan nonsense' because i dont even GO there these days, i stopped awhile ago. Plus, ive ALWAYS been this way, which is why 4chan is a bit too boring for me to continue going to - its obvoiusly not, but it feels like a bunch of me running around.

It is my opinion that you don't need to actively go to a place to smell of it. I've never once been to /b/, but I know my fair share of things. My "Suddenly, 4chans" comment was caused by an overabundance of memes (or non-meme trends) showing through in your writing style. Lots of grammatical errors trademark of 4chan goers, some non-words I associate with 4chan, etc. Same goes for your blog post.

Point being in your case, i just felt like trolling and making you read, its not that i actually give a shit - rather that i dont give a shit so much i felt like annoying people who did. And it worked, dont know about in your case, but definitely some others. This is how a troll works, and that is what i am, nothing personal even though i did bring up your blog and all, its just part of the 'job' persay. Im bored and i like bothering people in one way or another, so i do it.

I'm afraid to admit the truth, but one of my New Year's resolutions was to be more honest with myself so here it is: you made my day with your post. Trolls are refreshing to me. You didn't annoy me one bit. And I enjoy reading. Most of the time. Just don't do this to me too often; my intelligence might drop if I read this level of writing on a daily basis.

And I don't think you really bothered anyone else, except for potentially some mod who looks at this thread and thinks to himself that we're hijacking it with our idiotic back-and-forth, and maybe folks at AEN.

oh wow, gb2/bed, not that i disagree but lulz @ fail trolls.

This man clearly does not frequent 'sites linked to Anonymous.'

While I admit that his "incredibly long and pointless things" are funny to me, I get a better feeling from perceiving myself as intelligent than I do from being flamed. So of course none of what I wrote was written for the sake of provoking anyone.

I just wanted to share my thoughts with the community, and once I'd done that, I felt the need to defend them under fire.

An intelligent person knows when to go away. You're not going to win because Tallon's one stubborn individual. This argument will go on and on until either you or him ceases to argue or someone forces you and him to stop.

Just don't debate anymore. It's spamming and wasting valuable forum space (lol).

I figured it was already taken care of via my personal blog and such, but i guess not.

Fyi, trying to make yourself look 'intelligent' on the internet is not only amazingly pathetic, but pointless as well. Plus, theres no one here to give a shit how intelligent you look on the internets. The simple fact that you think you're percieving yourself as intelligent would probably go more to show how much intelligence you lack.

As for chan, you reek just as bad of 4chan, so what? "no i dont" would be pointless to say, dont bother. You sound exactly like anyone on chan who tries to act smart in order to provoke the trolls further - which is exactly what your doing. So i dont think you need to bother mentioning that anymore seeing as how you're just as bad just in other ways.

Besides, i never much bothered with /b/, i typically only trolled in /a/ because there were too many people like you there killin mah lulz with their 'i wanna feel smart to the entire 2 people on the internets who are reading my replies'. And hell, the majority of this websites users are from 4chan or are little kids, so if its such a bad thing why the hell would you register on a site probably RUN by a /b/tard?

Telling me not to do it often will only make me want to go around and find every post you've made to bother you. Just leave me be, shut your mouth, and ill go on my way. Its not like i dont have other people to troll and random things to do, i dont exactly feel like coming back to this thread every now and then just to hear your typical responses. The amazingly normal and practically scripted replies of how to feed a troll while making it look like you arnt are lulzy, but its boring as well. I made my point, you made yours, i made mine again, you even went out of your little way to go to my blog and talk to me there and act like this was done with while coming back and sneaking in a little more bickering.

If you want to look so intelligent, you should just stfu already and leave it be. Intelligent people wouldnt purposefully drag an argument out for the lulz - a troll would. If you're trolling then stop hiding behind the mask of the good guy, its sort of faggy.

Same - there is no reason to sub shows that have already been subbed adequately. It'll only slow you guys down...and, other than that, serve no purpose and just waste space on my internetz. Ill be honest, its also very annoying to me when i see releases of shows that were done forever ago. Thats probably just in my case, but still another thing to watch out for - other people might also get annoyed and link it together with HnK.

Basically, just sub the new season and other stuff you guys might wanna do - but dont go back and sub stuff thats ALREADY been subbed, its a waste of a fansub group thats tolerable. Stick to new shows you're interested in instead.

Hmm it depends - if you guys release uber pwn DVD quality then it might be worth it. But else, I agree with Fuhrer and Tallon that older series would be obsolete since those already have been subbed - unless you don't want "dropped" and incomplete series in HnK's portfolio.

I'd say you better prioritize Origination, and newer series.

CN finally released their subs today so I finally got to see it and I gotta say, wonderful first episode. The Prima's really shined in this episode with their awesome carnival work and guidance of their kouhai's. And it was also great that they stuck Al, Akatsuki and Woody, in the episode somehow. Lastly, I am in love with the OP/ED. Fantastic stuff.

Are these group votes moderated at all? Now we have all three groups voted down at the same time... while a fourth group, that hasn't actually released anything as far as I can tell, has been added to the list, is mysteriously untouched.

Clear troll votes have no place here.

Can you check if the person who submitted the group is the one who trolled against the existing three groups?

I'd still like to know if there is a method of throwing out votes that are out of spite or malice rather than a representation of actual opinion...

As usual, the animation was wonderful - and the characters were great. Athena's faces were hilarious and Akira's save was awesome! President Aria, Akari, Aika, and Alice all seemed well and it was nice seeing Al and Akatsuki again :)
Great start - can't wait for the next episode~ :D

Pretty much this. But, I could only put it off for so long. Origination didn't disappoint with this first episode, of course. The characters are still some of the best out there in the anime world, the music is still ace, and the art is even better than it was before. Excellent scene at the end, btw.

Origination was my inspiration for starting the Aria series because it is rated so highly on MAL.
Hopefully it can live up to the hype!

I can feel it. I can feel the day when Akira, Aika, and Alice become a prima. I lost count on how many times prima was said in this episode so I guess they'll become prima in this season. Ogosh I can't wait for that. D:

Few things I loved in this episode were:
1. Alicia, Aika, and Alice yawned at the same time. Watching their senpai must be exhausting.
2. The pinch Aria got from the small crab. Omy I rewinded it 10 times just because Aria's punyu that time was so hilarious.
3. The techniques Alicia, Akira, and Athena used when they were doing work. For me, I think Akira's move was the coolest, lol.

I can't wait for them to become prima but it'll be lonely since the seniors might disappear when that happens. I hope they still show up in the Anime. :( Anyways, I can see why this Anime is rated high now. At first I was like nah this is boring, but then later on Aria's peace and calmness reach my heart. :D

this is NOT the first in order to watch...in the first 2 seasons you get to know the characters,and this doesn't look like before they known eachother,since they are inviting one another to dinner :)

start with the Animation,or you'll miss 40 amazing episodes

this episode was awesome,way to start the last season :-)
Athena's funny faces made me lmao xD,same for the crazy guy in akira's gondola...hey i proposed to akira,the water fairy yay xD

and the ending song is amazing :)

Aria,you rule!

Anime News Network said:
The theme of the third season is, as the name suggests, the beginning of the series.


Because ANN sux. Misleading in many ways. If the Origination came out later, there are obvious reasons why the animators did that way, and also, the manga has Origination at the last bit. Why would anyone start with Origination when the events happening after what happens in Animation (Akari joining ARIA COMPANY and making friends with Aika and Alice) and Natural (where Akari, Aika and Alice take invaluable lessons from their senpais as the dream of becoming Prima Undines).

Everyone failed big time whoever started with Origination.

The Anime is meant to be seen like they came out.

Animation
Natural
Arietta
Origination.

Anyways, a great episode yet again. As the episode tells yet again how Akari, Alice and Aika hold great respect and admiration for Alicia, Athena and Akira and the whole episode had a warm feel to it. it was kinda lonely when I remembered Arietta, when Akari and Alicia will have to part ways. The episode was brilliant. Also, I was surprised with the sponsor scenes in the beginning. The background song is taken from ~Arietta. The opening song has the calm and gentle Aria feel about it. But I have to say, I loved the ending song. Somehow, after knowing Origination will be the end of the entire series, which I came to love so much, the ending makes me nostalgic.

It is boring only if you are an action prick and didn't watch other seasons so you are missing characters connections with each other.

Besides it is a slice of life which is meant to relax you after hard day. It is not meant to excite. If you are in excited mood then yeh, you will get sleepy. But if you just want to take a break, it does miracles.
