Fairy Tail 192

Good thing CR's there for a backup. Very dialogue-light episode,
the dragons came through the portal, not from somewhere else. The gate was closed, but now there's a bunch of boss fights going on.
Not a bad episode, but it's times like this I remind myself that these kinds of shows can easily spend one episode establishing the stakes. The Zodiac scene was kinda cool, and also made me ship Lucy and Yukino a bit.

Meanwhile I kicked off my blankets in the middle of last night and woke up with a cold this morning. I am now awaiting my childhood friend to arrive and feed me soup.
You got it all wrong. It's childhood friend that gets sick and you cook for her porridge and offer to wipe the sweat off her body thoroughly.
 
Decided to look back a bit, and of course, with cleaning up powers of today, where history be damned, I only managed to understand that swimsuits are illegal.

Sort of feels weird to feel that we should treat that as "people wearing swimsuits is too shocking and different from the norm therefore it bothers me". But then again, I'm really missing a lot of context here.

There was a NFSW picture as a link... i guess we can't post NFSW content ( even as links now )

Unless that really was the swimsuits ? i was there yet i'm not even sure what happenned.

I don't know what it was.

But welp. No links, which makes things more optional and not out in the open (unless it's a YT video for people on mobile). welp
 
Rokujouma No Shinryakusha - 03

Alright episode where everyone is still backstabbing the other like crazy.
I can accept that.

Magical girl get her first friend, everything get shuffled in the room race and we get some delicious forshadowing for CLUB president.

Sanji always seemed like a total loser during all my One Piece exposure and not the good kind of loser. It wouldn't surprised me if he frequented pirate body building and PUA forums in his free time.
 
I gotta be honest. I was real stoked to come back and be an active member here again, but I'm just not digging the current environment... Don't get me wrong, I really really like the members here, and I'm all for a SFW community, but right now it feels far too restrictive. For that reason I won't likely be around much. I don't like thinking of creative or fun ways to say something and then having to censor myself before posting out of fear that I might be banned. It's just nonsense, with all due respect... it just is.

I'm ok with this as long as you still give me art advice.

But the thing is when something important happens he's there to help. He may seem perverted but he always helps people In need. He is the straw hats best cook. And there are times when he shines so he ain't a loser.

Sanji is a gentlemen and a great character, even if he carries perverted thoughts. Because he's a man who's been through hell for 2 years.

i hate perverted characters
who aren't moe girls
with a passion so he can die, also he can go to hell for abandoning Robin during the Davy Back arc

Sanji was tolerable in the pre-time skip. Sure, his gimmick was hot garbage, but he had some pretty good scenes (Mr. Prince, Enies Lobby, etc).

Oda took his gimmick to overdrive in the post-time skip and made him absolutely unbearable.

You got a problem with Sanji.

sanji is a one trick pony when it comes to jokes that the joke got old 5 min after he got on the screen :/
I was hoping that with the time jump the joke would go away but nope... first thing... LETS MULTIPLY THE CRAP JOKE BY 10... it's funny again then right... no.... bleed to death sanji the show would be better off without out you(same with chopper... chopper can go get sold and be a mascot for some other crew >.>)

Yeah I could see why he may seem unbearable in the post-time skip. But I couldn't blame him since he lived with the Okama for 2 years. And also his character has been great in the Dressrosa arc.

Sanji is like a lot of other One Piece characters in that half the time they are AWESOME and the other half of the time they are insufferable pieces of shit. OP is weird like that. Wish it could find a better balance more often.

Yeah but every character in the straw hat crew has a gimmick. And Oda has built upon that from the very beginning so it won't go away.

And also I could see someone disliking Sanji or even Ussop, but Chopper what. Like how could you hate on a innocent reindeer.

chopper was awesome when he was first introduced... and then he was regulated to mascot duty and has been a terrible character since shortly after the alabasta arc finished... he has small moments every now and then but 99% of the time when he is on screen it's just to be moe and annoying... aka... like most moe things... it needs fire... and lots of it :/

as for the gimmicks, I only really find sanji's annoying since it often causes a handicap to the crew, most of the other gimmicks tend to vanish during serious moments.

note: I like the rest of the cast... though I wish the women's breasts would go back to early one piece instead of constantly getting bigger and bigger.

Japanese colds are very dangerous you will DIE if you go outside without an umbrella on a rainy day.

Japan: Land of the incurable cough of death.

Air soft pellets bouncing off of them and them playing dead.

I'd totally pay extra for a no-imagination version bonus.

So would posting a picture of Yoko in her normal attire be considered a bannable offense now?

RIP ToonamiGAF.

I was aware that the guns fired air soft pellets. What I find odd is that they appear to be in some sort of model dystopian city arena like it's COD. Is that what the environment actually looks like, or is that part of their imagination too?

You know what? It doesn't matter. I better stop now before I make the mistake of further questioning the logic of an anime comedy.

Doesn't this basically include 95% of all TTGL posters and official art in general?

Yo he was great in the Water 7 and even the Punk Hazard Arc. Especially when he was dealing with the sick children.

This is getting so old, so fast.

Listen: It's obviously not a hard and fast rule of this much skin shown = ban. None of you actually believe that. There's something to be said about the framing and intent of a picture that should be exceedingly obvious, but I guess isn't. A wide angle picture of a woman in a swimsuit just standing there is probably not bannable. A picture of a woman wearing a swimsuit where the majority of the shot is her cunt and ass obviously is.

I like how cunt was used instead of vagina. I don't know why. Probably to prove a statement.

*sees the post SnQ got banned for* Hey, that actually violated a ToS that existed before this. Fair enough I guess!

he was fine in water 7...
I grew tired of him wining in punk hazard even if it was justified...
perhaps it wasn't so bad in the manga.... but it was way to drawn out in the anime.

I am not saying chopper and sanji don't have their moments, but hands down the show would be better without out them as you could focus on the more interesting characters.... as it is right now it's to fragmented and even the bits of the manga I read often feel like nothing gets done since they are trying to cover so many different things.

I like Murasaki. I like Peggy (that is such a 70s name.) I don't like Funi's player taking most of the day to start working.

Therein lies the problem.

The solution is simple: if the person in question could in any way be considered lewd don't post it.

Lets just say almost everything is better portrayed in the manga than the anime.
