Every normal human being on this meaningless floating rock in space is against incest on principle, and for good fucking reason too.

I would treat it like a cake and then say HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO THE GROUND
Sailor Moon Act 4
So they actually burnt her tiara and gave her a new one, which gave her a new attack? Neat.

I wish. Would be better than both of them breaking up, leaving Kyosuke with no one like what we got. Gotta commit to a route.
We've been over this. Incest is only hot for the people that aren't involved.

In anime culture, being normal is stupid, or something.
Seriously though, yeah. Just about every even vaguely normal human being on this planet is against incest on principle for a long list of very good reasons. The idea that it should be anything other than awful and incredibly, incredibly rare is beyond bizarre, and that is why it almost never shows up outside of anime culture: it shouldn't.
Seriously, the idea that being against incest is "silly"... :lol Oh anime culture, you can be so brain-hurtingly stupid sometimes.

What about 500 episodes of a bad show?
Do I want to bang your sister, though?
You're probably me.
This is the worst news of my life.

Actually decided to watch this now. Not exactly something I wanted to wake up to watch. Or something...
So yeah, it's primarily Shararu, whose like Mana (gasp), and Mana's getting greedy with the waifus already. I guess it's kinda neat they used an enemy that requires you to hit it from both sides in one shot. Lance and Racquel being underutilized is a reminder of how underutilized their partners are. I feel bad thinking Lovely Force Arrow was Mana's attack, but it was a group attack. Bleh.
But hay, since we feel in love with our fairies (hopefully not to the extent of Yes 5), we can do one last test! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 2 weeks from now.

I guess I should ask, because I don't think I've seen an answer to this yet... but is there any real/good reason why
they get together, to the point where the guy individually turns down every girl in Japan in order to end up with his sister?

More Sailor Moon Manga stuff
Shit's a bit groosome.
Shit's a bit groosome.
First massive change... well, Jadiete's death was pretty different, but Nephrite's is a lot more considering he gets killed by Jupiter upon transformation. No romance subplot that makes him a slightly better person, nope. Once a douchebag always a douchebag.
But wait, there's more!
Seems like fujoushis love that.

I will say, even when HBO does incest, it's considered "wrong". lol

Last bit of Sailor Moon Mangoes
Pretty tired but this is Act 6 and 7
Nice to see Makoto keep her waifu traits at least. We can see the pieces of personality established, on top of Ami having girl wood for Motoki.
If there's one good thing about the brisk pacing of the manga, it's that Usagi is much less annoying. Although... I wonder... they said the new anime will focus first on the OG arc right? I mean in a way, they could totally do the entire thing in one fell swoop at this pacing, but.... In some way... I wouldn't mind if it had aspects of the anime... its advantage in regards to characters and their relationships.

Zoisite's death is fucking gruesome. Venus CUT HIM UP! Holy fuck, Artemis fucking stabbed him in the hand too!
And Tuxedo Mask revealed his identity to Usagi much faster since he already figured out who she was. They were also at his house after a battle. Backstory for Mamoru is the same, but the circumstances are very different. The relationship for Zoisite and Kunzite seems nonexistent here, but maybe it'll get shown later on?
Usagi sure keeps secrets to herself. Other changes, it seems to be using more awareness in regards to the situation, the enemies practically letting themselves be known in order to brainwash people to locate the silver crystal. This... really is different.

even if it's yuri incest?
I think it exists only to promote sales of the relatively successful manga. Certainly very little effort went into producing a good anime adaptation!
Rather than Juuni Kokki, which is a far more sophisticated take on the well worn "travel to another world" theme, you can trace the show's origins to Yuu Warsaw's previous, immensely successful series Fushigi Yuugi. Fushigi Yuugi is more romantic in virtually every aspect and plays more on emotional drama as a shoujo series, whereas Arata is ostensibly shounen despite the plethora of angsty bishounen.
I'm not really comparing the two. Juuni Kokki is actually really good, although unfinished to this day.
I think I've seen Fushigi Yuugi, and it was structured differently, as far as I remember, it was romantic anime, yes.

Unless i read the article wrong, looking forward to hearing haruto and ledo. Good character designs.
TruBL is the best, twincest even please. So few manga leaves us with unfulfilled desires.
Thini it was made to boost manga and what not especially with that final episode tease of all the characters. Wish it was picked up for western release.
You really didnt like the inspirational arata and the kadowaki obsession with his friend that was essentially love going on?
*sigh* When I say I think being against incest on principle is silly, I obviously don't mean that people should start treating it as a TOTALLY NORMAL THING that EVERYONE SHOULD BE DOING YOU GAIS. On account of not being an oblivious idiot, I'm perfectly aware that there are biological issues with the offspring of such relationships, and I think inherent biological tendencies (as well as social norms on top of that) are more than enough to ensure that such relationships are always going to be an incredibly rare occurrence.
I just think that in the unlikely event that they do occur, it's silly to treat such relationships as horrible and offensive on a personal level. Unless the couple in question are planning to have children (and I'd like to think most people are sane enough to not go down that route), there's really nothing fundamentally wrong with it if that's what both parties want.
To bring up an awkward analogy (because doesn't everybody just love those), you could even say that hating on incest is essentially the same as homophobia. Both are a case of dismissing the validity of a relationship because it's a) not in line with most people's inherent sexual preferences (most people aren't attracted to the same sex/close relatives), and b) biologically illogical because it's not going to produce viable offspring.

Summer 2013 Anime |OT2| Where the waifus are made up and the points don't matter
Not sure are you being sarcastic or not.
Is it possible to like the duo?
It's overplayed so much, overdramatized so much, not believable one bit. May be I'm just not into hate-love relationships, who knows? (><)
good question, no point was seen into vicinity!
Preparation for the the crossing over of the second and third dimensions.
I thought that was Digimon.

Clean versions of the Space Dandy main character designs: http://moca-news.net/article/20130819/201308191336a/01/
Watanabe and the Space Dandy staff will also be producing a full animated music video for Yasuyuki Okamura's "Viva Namida" (which is also the Space Dandy theme song):

Love is a very complicated thing but there's a big difference in portraying it realistically and glorifying it like OreImo does. Also, I think you're vastly underestimating people's ability to overcome such basic biological urges as wanting to have a baby.
…
What the fuck.

I don't know what's going on any more. After you witness a girl force her index fingers in another girl's bum during a dramatic battle montage while a (admittedly not very good) rendition of Beethoven's "O Freunde nicht diese Töne" plays, it is hard to argue against this episode. Pretty much made up for all the awful the actual series subjected us to. :chet was also abundant if that's your thing but more importantly...
It featured a respectable amount of buts.
I REGRET NOTHING
Holy :SDBurton Batman. That was... Actually... Good? Is that even the right word?
I did no verify whether she actually voiced that thing.

The incest in Oreimo fails to serve as a backdrop for good character drama (à la Koi Kaze) and isn't funny or entertaining (outside of the
). I don't dislike it because of some principle. It was just creepy, but in a way that conflicted with how the show was presenting it.

The night of a moon.
Also in Oreimo he claims he's never touched a boob but didn't he do just that in the fourth episode?

Thanks a lot for sharing your perpective. It helped me become slightly more happy about the ending too. And yeah, this really should've been two seasons...
We allow people who are retarded and have genetic diseases to have kids, so why not siblings? Their kids have way better odds.
Then post that list, please. I'll be waiting.

There's a difference between denying someone with a genetic disease or disability the right to reproduce completely and telling a perfectly healthy person not to have a baby with their sibling.

Kämpfer für die Liebe 02 Ende
MC still annoying as hell, like harem protags are.
I guess that's about all there is to see now. (I also just watched the omakes but there really isn't much to talk about there, an :SDBurton dressing room scene, a shower scene, and a groping scene, comprised mostly of stills lasting 1 minute for each episode.
Substantially less good good compared to the previous episode but it delivered on the lewd and :sdburton so honestly I can't hate on it.
:SDBurton levels were critical on this episode also

The difference being, of course, that gay sex never results in offspring, whreas incest can - there's no particular evolutionary deterrent to gay sex (because of course you can always sleep with someone of the opposite gender) unlike incest.
I am no zoologist, but Wikipedia also suggests that many animals display an aversion to incestuous relationships, although I guess that can't be easy to measure in animals where we don't have some level of social understanding.
I think, essentially, once again you've reminded us that you're an only child
