Look, how am I supposed to defend when you are basically taking every comeback and saying "that's junk, I don't like it". Its obvious neither of our opinions are going to change, so shall we agree to disagree? I'll do what I like and you do what you like.
Frankly the concept of a version of PSG existing without rolling the Rs on RRRRRRRRRURRRRRRRRRUS is fundamentally offensive.

For me, bad TV exists to be "watched" when playing a game, but yeah, I understand your point.
Eh if it's bad TV I personally wouldn't consume it at all, unless it was of the 'special' kind.

Don't get me wrong, I don't dislike the Japanese Dub of PSG. I like both equally, and really, they excel because of different reasons. Japanese, because of the awkward english curses and hillariousness of the Rolling Rs, among other things. English, from the fun "balls-to-the-walls" take on the series and great choices for voice actors for each character.

I like dubs because I can just listen to anime while doing other important things. Helps me multitask. With subs I'm forced to watch the screen.

That's a reasonable argument for dubs. I find a more compelling argument to be that when a work is subtitles your eye is forced to look at the dub rather than whatever focus that the director originally intended for any particular shot.
 
Speaking of which, ios gaming is pretty... ok.

Well gaming sexism has been addressed.

Theonik is currently sporting my new favorite avatar of recent memory.

Thanks!

Did we listen Dio go MUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDAMUDA in the recent show? Cause I'm hyped for Stardust Crusaders if they keep the voice actor.
I hope the sequence is better in the new anime.
So far the game voices for this are best.

What spurred the avatar change theonik?
K-ON GAF I guess it sort of just happened.
Edit: And yeah there should be no need for a reason for butts.

Part of it is habit. I'm going to "watch" Community S5 even though I know it's going to be crud.
Maybe you should drop these self destructive habits.

I don't know I really can't see anything positive the English dub brought to the table to make up for what was lost in the transition.

I tend to prefer dubs. My main reason is I have a hard time enjoying a show if my eyes are glued to the bottom of the screen reading. I feel like I constantly have to fight between reading what's being said and watching what's going on. Are some dubs bad? No doubt, but I don't think that they're all far and away bad, and honestly its more comfortable for me to watch it that way. Subtitles are just a lot of times not conducive for me, but that's of course personal preference.

Exactly the point that needs to be gotten across. All this is about is personal preference and opinions. Nobody is wrong or right. What we should all do is the things we want to do, without worry of what others think of it.

After all, what's the old phrase? Opinions are like assholes: Everyone has one, and nobody likes when people go around showing their's off.

Everything that's needed to be said about "Dub vs Sub" happened over a decade ago in shout boxes and long abandoned Invision boards. It is a bit nostalgic though so carry on!

It seems like you missed Turn A Gundam!

Is that an AC Gundam? Because I've kind of stopped watching AC Gundams recently. Well, I mean, I'm watching G Gundam again because its dub wasn't so hot (except for like, Master Asia), but otherwise I don't know. Isn't Turn A the one where it looks more like a Zaku with a mustache?

If Hito were still an admin we'd all be sporting tags.
Butt alass

I shudder to think what kind of tag I'd have by now.

No. No. Absolutely not!

I'm resigned to the likelihood that I will never have a tag. But hey, I've been here like 4 months so... well, yeah.

Turn A does, indeed, feature a Gundam with a moustache, as well as a wide number of unusual designs. It also features actual Zaku's later on. It's a pretty great series with both the best Gundam protagonist and best Char-clone.

Which is gaming side in general these days.

It's just Gaming Side's Time of the Month where they make those threads. Much like Lina Inverse, it cripples their magical abilities for awhile.

I'll check it out when I finish G again. I kind of burned out on AC Gundam for awhile after watching AGE and 00 back to back.

This reminds me of when the conversation revolved around aspect ratios again and duckroll laid out some way of watching Hidamari in a ridiculous convoluted way using cinema projectors to get ultimate wideface. Wish I could find the quote.

Yuyushiki episode 11
One more episode? NOOOOO!!!
I seem to recall that the sales are bombing as well so say goodbye to a second series!

Unfortunately you'll find that SHAFT work on Valve time. Except that when Valve actually puts something out you know that it's going to be excellent.
I thought there was mention just recently that the film was hinted at a release for this year? Or is that a different -monogatari thing? I kinda get lost in all of them.


On unrelated news, Time of Eve kickstarter had a limited quantity of unique branded cup and coffee canister for a new $145 tier. I took the Cajun approach and increased my pledge. I'm such a sucker for limited edition tat.

It's meant to be set on its own time CC.
It's basically the conclusion of most Gundam timelines.

Well since Hito left the admin gig this ahs been one of the hardest comunities to be tagged in rather than when it was one of the easiest.

I suppose so though it's been going for a while and is unlikely to stop.

I remember that but I cba to dig it out.

the puns they're too much

unlikely me thinks anyways
Butt you need only have assked.

If you actually pay attention, Tuxedo Mask doesn't really do much of anything and bails out when things get serious.
In addition to getting his ass handed to him from the first season already having to be saved himself.
Tuxedo's rescues were always less of a "lol weak women" but an encouragement for the Sailor Soldiers to fight harder.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT

LOL, I guess I deserved that. I got through an entire episode of SAO without doing it once, though!

The morning after that happened I was surprised to wake up and find out I had not been banned/tagged. I was so sure that night I was getting banned/tagged.

Well, you're the one who suggested that I keep using purple anthro avs, and so I did for a time.

Feels like it's lacking something.
If someone can shop a face on it or Groucho Marx glasses I'd be grateful. Butt I really can't be arsed to do it myself.

Getting banned for that would be unlikely. Getting tagged however is pretty much impossible now I'm afraid!
