Came in today. Funimation really put stickers on the art box and it got a little messed up due to peeling it off.

I need to get my hands on Shiki before its unavailable.
As for Ranma, I have a gigantic collection on DVD but converting it down to a few blurays might be an excellent idea and just selling off my DVDs. Would make a ton of room for more other anime.

I can't pass people on the left for a good twenty minutes because I killed a rabbit.

Nope nevermind, in these last few minutes I'll do it FOR THE TEAM!

Lame.

And WTF is with everyone and their weird ass tongues?

its a silly romcom but later on it envelops into a surprisingly touching story. Very sweet and cute.

I remember seeing his box sets or something and the art style wasn't my deal. Ill have to look at it later seeing how my taste has changed drastically in the last few years.

Yeah it's Set #1. Here is some pics. It has a nice foil cover.

Yeah i just ordered it off of Amazon. Thanks for the pics, it looks better from your screens than Amazon did it justice.

One day I realized that sadness is just another word for not enough coffee.
Wh-wh-whaaaaaa?

You're right, there's no way a 4-panel gag comic would hold itself to such slack standards.

They must've been practicing their butts off in between chapters.

They even rent out a studio to practice in!

Besides, watching anime people pretend to practice instruments is as terrible as watching anime people pretend to play sportsball.
I love watching training montages and training scenes. Just look how much for example real Idolshows show that the people have actual train to be fit for their stuff.

Ping Pong says otherwise.

I'd trot out the .webms again but I'm kind of tired and I want to eat.

It has bothered me for some time that there is a growing presence of lewdness in this community. That doesn't surprise anyone probably, given the nature of anime culture in Japan. For a time I have done very little because well, unless it's really NSFW, it's not really against ToS, and I don't want to control a community thread so much. That time is over. I have received feedback from enough people in this community about the increasing unease they with the shifting culture within.

I read the exchange the other day about cnet expressing his "preferences" with regards to NGNL and the cameltoe shit. And this is my reaction:

So here's what I have to say. Community threads are not "protected" from how the forum is moderated everywhere else. If people are feeling uncomfortable because someone is expressing views which are generally considered to be problematic in a larger social context, those elements will be removed. No one wants to hear about it, we don't want to bother with discussions defending "unpopular" preferences of characters, we don't want waifu wars, we just want to talk about anime without all the garbage.

If people want to talk about their preference of young girls drawn or otherwise, they can talk about it somewhere which is not NeoGAF. If someone wants to post sexy pictures or lewd stuff like panties, bust sizes, or "dat ass" or whatever, they can do so somewhere else which is not NeoGAF. Off-Topic no longer has "Hot Women" or "Hot Men" threads. Image spam for the purpose of self stimulation aid is discouraged throughout the forum. This will be no different. If you want to discuss your sexual fantasies, your fetishes, and what sexual gratification you get from drawn cartoons, you are not welcome to discuss it here.

If you're not happy with this, please find another community on the internet. I recommend 4chan, Reddit, or Animesuki for starters. If you want to complain, don't bother because this is my response:

THE LINE MUST BE DRAWN HERE. THIS FAR, NO FURTHER.

Do people really want K-ON to be umpteen hours of the girls practicing scales and such on their instruments?
Apparently Haly does. lol



Ping Pong says otherwise.

I bet some nerd has already compared the running time of sports in Ping Pong to Haikyuu and Baby Steps... and I'm sure it's like 1 minute in Pong Pong to 5 minutes in the other two. lol

Yeah, but they never actually rehearse their songs. Or write their songs. Or do any real choreography. :p

Who do you mean? The K-On girls? If so, yes that's my problem. If you mean Love live or Idolmaster: they do.
If you really want to see people practicing, go hang out at the practice rooms at your local university. See how long you last.
I'm not talking real time here. But well, I dropped K-On, and watch anime that I like more, all is well.

[TNG nerd] Excuse me, but that line is in reference to the fact that Picard has become obsessed with the Borg to the detriment of his crew. It's why he is called Captain Ahab right after he says that line! [/TNG nerd]

I don't remember idolmaster, but Love Live doesn't show any of that stuff. lol

Yes but he still won in the end and the Borg were defeated. The ends justify the means. If we want a safer world, we just have to go all in.

Yes, but he wins because he tries to save Data, whereas earlier in the movie he just shot the redshirt in the head. lol

I don't know how many people will have to be banned before the message sticks. Might want to give it a while first!
Actual question though -- for people who aren't repeat offenders, if we accidentally go just a bit too far past the new boundaries, are we at least going to get just a deleted post + warning before the first bans start getting handed out?
