Welcome to the world of kancho!

I remember when somebody first showed me this link. Hilarity unfolded many times.

Thanks a lot for the link, much better than the crap I have been reading.

Yeah other resources I've read on the topic weren't too well written or was a bit too sensationalist about things.

 

[firehawk12]

Wow, discussion about Simoun on here, never thought i would see this :lol


The ending for it was interesting an makes you wonder what really happened to those 2.

Simoun is an interesting show, but it definitely requires a certain mindset to get into (let alone the premise. On paper, it's a "classier" Strike Witches).

Probably shouldn't say too much more about the ending though - I just found it interesting is all I'll say. At least, that's what I can remember of it anyway.

Welcome to the world of kancho!

You know, after what was described on the last 8-4 podcast (a very special kind of "bush burning"), I don't think I should be surprised that any of this crazy shit is real. :lol

I remember when somebody first showed me this link. Hilarity unfolded many times.

Welcome to the world of kancho!

Is this for real? I can't stop laughing! I need to breathe. This is good stuff.

 

[DY_nasty]

Legend of Galactic Heroes is pretty good so far... (Ep 5). Another good recommendation. Thanks guys.

The Legend of Koizumi: Chairman Mao :lol

I should rewatch this... absolutely hilarious from beginning to end.

 

[Geneijin]

It's very much real. Never thought I'd see it again.

[Jex]

Oh god, giant ABF post that I'll have to reply too without writing an essay. Hmm.

...did you just include gender-bending in with incest and rape? No, really, did you?

And let's not forget, they made at least one good incest story, Koi Kaze!

 

[Crash Station]

Welcome to the world of kancho!

Kancho is nothing compared to the shit my neighbors would do when they were kids. They had this game called "7-10 split" which would just consist of each other slamming bowling balls into their junk until one of them passed out. The still conscious one would be the winner. The worst part of it all is right now they're more successful in life than I am

 

[mAcOdIn]

And you see what I mean? You claim to support freedom of speech, but then say that you wouldn't mind if speech was more restricted and some things that you dislike were effectively banned. That is not support for freedom of speech, there needs to be a very high test for things that should be banned ("shouting fire in a crowded theater", things that are illegal and should be like real child porn, what have you).

I mean, sure I wouldn't be too sad either if Kodomo no Jikan went away forever, the entire concept of that show is incredibly horrible. But despite that, I don't agree that it should be banned. You should never ban something just because you dislike it.

Of course there's not much we can do here, but that doesn't mean it's any less important to say how bad it is.

I cut the shit about Australia, anyways, um, I think you're being a bit hysterical about this and not giving me enough credit. There are many laws that I support that I personally disagree with or happen to negatively effect me and yet I support because I think they're beneficial towards society. And for the record I don't think I'm playing a moral superiority card, I think I'm one of the last people on the planet with the right to pull such a card. For instance, I support vigilante justice on a personal moral level yet support the fact it's illegal in my country. Why? because I think the law as a whole is beneficial to society even if there is a person every once in a while who unfortunately is sent to prison for killing someone that did something horrific to them or their family. I am capable of holding different views when an issue effects just me and then society as a whole. That's how societies work. I don't vote or elect a representative who's going to act in a way that just pleases me but hopefully does things that benefit the society as a whole.

So anyways back to this ban. I want to point out the fallacy in saying that

...because once things start getting banned for purely subjective reasons, eventually they ARE going to ban something you care about.

This is a load of bullshit. It's called out for it's stupidity whenever the slippery slope defense is trotted out here in the states as a reason against legalizing gay marriage and it's bullshit here as well. For reference, gay marriage, another issue that personally does not effect me, is unfortunately illegal here in the States and whenever you have one person exclaiming why it should be legal with valid points and shit the other side dives off into lunacy with "well then where does it end? Then we'll have people marrying cats, dogs or their sisters!" Idiotic right? Well it's just as idiotic when used as a defense against censorship. And Jexhius's example of Spice and Wolf was probably extremely off base, the only show I can think of that I liked that'd have been in danger of being censored or never budgeted is Higurashi, which I only liked to a point anyways before it devolved into stupidity. But Spice and Wolf? They're not teens, they're not in high school, no-one's having sex, no-one dies, just why would it be banned? Why? Nothing I think is actually good would be banned, what else do I think is actually good? Natsume Yuujinchou, Genshiken, Ghost in the Shell, Seirei no Moribito, yeah, I don't think those are in danger of being banned. So honestly, this bill never really would effect me, it really wouldn't. Unless we have some conspiracy theorists who think they want to eliminate all written word and animation, but that's silly. But that's not the point, the point is the fallacy which is the slippery slope. If any kind of censorship is a slippery slope then why isn't banning yelling "fire" in a theater a slippery slope? It was. But the real slippery slope was the concept of governments and laws in the first place, can I look forward to you calling for anarchy to defend our freedom of speech? I didn't think so. Because in a society individuals make compromises for other gains and stability. Which is exactly what I do when I personally despise the stuff they're targeting with this bill and have nothing to lose and only stand to gain and yet still oppose the bill on a legal ground.

That's not the point, the point is defending the freedom of expression...

Then what the hell do you want from me? I already stated I'm against the law from a legal standpoint, that should be the only standpoint that matters right? Whether I would vote or elect a representative that would vote for or against a measure should be all that matters to another individual and I have already stated I oppose it on that ground. So what if I personally agree with it if I'm going to oppose it in the end? What right does anyone have to expect or demand more from me? Do you understand how ludicrous this position is? It's not enough to oppose the bill but I have to also lament the loss of what I consider crap or celebrate it's production? That's i-n-s-a-n-e. Do you not see the madness here?

I'm the one being mature, not you. Ask yourself what kind of a man would oppose something he supports for his fellow citizen. I think the answer's a good man. And for any ladies reading I'm still single, like to cook, am good with my hands, love animals and don't still live with my parents but they're both nice people if you want to meet them. PM me!

So anyways, jokes aside, you have one man, who dislikes what some groups do or make and states it but defends their right to think and express that, myself, and then we have you, who claims to support freedom of expression and oppose censorship and yet you're trying to not only regulate what I support or do not support legally but also my private personal thoughts as well? Which among us is really for freedom then?

This whole exercise was silly, why do I need to not only legally support all this manga and anime but also for some inexplicable reason like it or wish it be made? Explain it to me.

...did you just include gender-bending in with incest and rape? No, really, did you?

As things I dislike not as things that are all equally disturbing to me, my apologies if anyone felt me mentioning them in the same breath meant I was calling them all equally offensive or disturbing. I don't have a problem with men dressing up as women or vice-versa I just don't want to read it, totally different than rape. I didn't mean for that to come off that way.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Anyways, now that that's done I'll have to get into Samurai Girls mode again.

 

[A Black Falcon]

Anyways, now that that's done I'll have to get into Samurai Girls mode again.

I'll respond to the rest of that later, but I almost missed your most recent Samurai Girls reply, so here it is...

It'll happen, even if she switches sides but doesn't officially become one of his haremites and she does it right before her death or some crap, but it'll happen, patience.

Yeah, most likely true. I'm still hoping not, though... it could not happen... maybe...

Wow, I wasn't expecting that level of reason from you I thought you were enjoying this more.

I started to lose interest somewhere around episode 9 or 10. It was never one of the better shows like this -- not competing with Koihime Musou, Kampfer, or even Daimao in quality -- and its generic mediocrity does get old after a while... (Note I said 'even' there only because I rank Daimao well below those other two, that's all; it's still way better than Samurai Girls.)

Also, Muneakira is so, so annoying, it's hard to like something when you hate the main character. I didn't hate the main character in those shows. Um, unless you count Ryuubi as the main character of the latter two seasons of Koihime Musou, which she only sort of is. And even though it took a long time, her "actually doing something cool" moment at the end of season 3 was actually cool, unlike Muneakira's painfully annoying "finally doing something" moment in ep. 11 of Samurai Girls.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and suggest there's an actual real reason besides just making some stupid reason for the idiot Jubei to not want to kiss Muneakira.

You think? I'm not so sure, I didn't even think of that until you mentioned the possibility. I hope you're right, though, because that would be better writing.

I hate having to do this because I think it's a terrible show and few things would give me more pleasure right now than claiming some kind of superiority over the creators by calling them hacks but I think they actually have a reason. Oh, I'm sure once it's revealed I'll still think the reason is stupid, can't be helped considering the premise of the show as a whole but I think there'll be a reason ever so deeper than "OMG drama at the last minute!"

You seem to have higher hopes for the series' storytelling quality than I do, then.

 

[Jex]

[Katanagatari]
Time to enter black bar town!

Spoiler

However, Katanagatari isn't really consistent with it. I guess the excuse is that she's weak, so she dies easily, but with absurdly strong people like Shichika normal rules don't apply? That's kind of dumb.

Spoiler

The rules apply to Shichika like they apply to everyone else. This hasn't been violated at any point, that I can remember.

Spoiler

Shichika is so ridiculously overpowered in that final set of fights against the 12 swords that it was boring, and he gets shot repeatedly without showing any real sign of injury.

Spoiler

Shichika is badly injured by the bullets. We see that quite clearly. However, one of the arts he no doubt has learnt presumably makes him tough and allows him to heal faster, like Penguin Ninja. We have no idea how long it takes for him to heal because the last scene could have taken point quite long after the castle attack.

Spoiler

If with Togame the writer was trying (successfully) to be different and defy convention, with Shichika's final attack on the tower they went straight for the convention and stuck to it like glue, with the one exception for that he doesn't punish the Princess for having Togame killed.

Spoiler

That's a pretty big exception. And Shichika explains that he isn't going their for the traditional reason e.g. revenge, he says he wants to die. His wish is not granted.

Spoiler

I find that odd, even considering everything Togame revealed at the end I'd think he'd want [t]o punish her killer, and the one who gave the orders to kill her is just as responsible than the one who carried it out.

Spoiler

That's not especially strange. Shichika knows that everyone was really being moved by Kiki Shikizaki, the master soothsayer and manipulator. He's the one at fault for Togame's death remotely, however he has already passed. The one who set up in this life was Yanari Shogunate, the man who ordered Togame on her task.

In Togame's case in specific though my problem would be as I said in my first ep. 12 reaction post, that

Spoiler

that concept that she must avenge her father by killing Shichika even though she doesn't even dislike him is one that while I can understand from a "their culture believes such things"

viewpoint, I completely disagree with and find disturbing.

Spoiler

I don't think you have to assume it's cultural. It's just human nature - forgiving someone who murdered your parents is asking a little bit too much for many people. Sure, he wasn't directly responsible but the desire for revenge still exists. Shichika doesn't follow down the same path when he let's Princess Hitei live.

It's quite frustrating for you to say "I disagree with you completely but won't tell you any reasons why", though. Makes me want to know what your reasons are.

I can answer any queries now!

The last words of the episode are are:

Spoiler

The story which offers a happy future for them [the many dead characters], filled with hopes and dreams, Katanagatari, quietly lowers its curtains here."

.... Yeah, considering the nature of the show, I can made absolutely no sense out of THAT line.

Spoiler

I'd have to imagine working pretty hard to misinterpret that scene. It's pretty clear the narrator is referring to the living characters, who still remember those who have passed away. Why would it mean anything else?

That also made me think of something else...

Spoiler

Um, unless Togame got herself killed off on purpose (she knew that guy would kill her but did nothing about it or something, even though it didn't really seem like that was what happened?), which I don't think happened, I can't agree with the concept it brings up that she died because of her own mistakes. What did she not do that caused her death? Or was that the idea that she was only killed because of her fight with the Princess, and if she had been more willing to change (like Shichika did) she wouldn't have gotten in that place, or something? I don't know, I can't figure it out.

Spoiler

Togame was out manoeuvred. Using guns is pretty hax, and something no-one would be able to prepare for, not even Shichika . Togame usually worked by observing the swords power and the devising a counter strategy, for guns that simply wasn't possible.

 

[zoku88]

Katanagatari spoilers

Spoiler

The thing about Togame was that she was the same as many of the other characters that wanted the swords and died. If, at any point of her journey, she just let go of the past and stop collecting swords, she wouldn't have died. They didn't even know who she was until she got the 11th sword, I think.

Her ambitions led her to ruin, I guess.

That's my interpretation, anyway.

[Haly]

I'd rather see Amano doing ludicrously detailed 2D drawings but I'm interested anyway.

 

[mAcOdIn]

What, you think there should be no middle ground, everything should be completely tame and relationship-free or a hentai movie or something?

What? There's no in-between where there's relationships but no sex or relationships but with sex off the screen? There's lots of middle ground to be had here beyond the two I just listed, I question constant tits ass and no sex, not the lack of sex as a whole or the appearance of tits and ass.

Sure, in a show like this no sex will happen, but the subtext's still there. It's just a difference between subtext and hinting versus having it actually happen, one isn't necessarily better than the other.

Again, what subtext? There's no subtext in Samurai Girls, they're not having sex but he's getting his penis stuck between breasts, there's no implying anything, there's no subtext, there's no assuming, it's clearly spelled out what's going on and what isn't going on.

But as for why there is interest? Because not everyone agrees with your tastes, I would say. Not sure if there is much more to it than that.

Blasphemy!

In that scene you're right, but that's not all he did. He didn't just not resist or something, he defended her, let her be there despite what he knew she wanted to do to him, etc, if I'm remembering right (it has been a few weeks, I don't quite remember and don't want to rewatch the episode). He basically set everything up so she'd have a chance to do something like that, and then acted surprised when she did it...

Untrue, you can't place a flashback that happened after the scene as proof of him defending her when the whole "defense" happened prior. But so what, lets say he did know she'd come on to them, well that's how the fucking pact works for some ungodly reason, be kinda dumb to throw out a Master Samurai because she wants to make the pact with you.

Um, how is it so hard to understand the difference between the two? I agree, casual violence shouldn't be okay, but a lot of people don't think that way, including anime a lot of the time. Hitting her like that and taking away all of her powers seem pretty obviously different to me. And anyway, though I do agree that the first isn't okay either it's certainly not as bad.

They aren't the same at all.

Because in a fight damage accumulates, how do you make some shitty scale where you can beat up a friend and yet know when to stop so they have enough fight in them to still be the victor in a fight with the enemy? You can't. The fact he was willing to rough them up but not break the pact was idiotic.

Well of course he could, but then it wouldn't be following the standard harem-show playbook, and that would be terrible, think of the fans (who expect things to usually be the same)!

Fans should never be pandered to.

I would say the answer probably is that these shows are made for people who do want stories about those fantasies, not those who don't.

Well clearly.

Kampfer stuff.

I dunno, seems the story was soo bad they should have probably dropped it and just went with gender bender hijinks in my opinion.

Was Strike Witches the first successful one to have characters who wore underwear as outerwear, though? It's not just about showing panties, but having characters who are showing them at all times by not wearing skirts or pants. I don't remember even other mechamusume stuff having that as a standard design element, though I could be wrong...

I don't know!

Asking someone who might know answers waht the answers to those questions are? Anime doesn't do that, it prefers to drive the audience crazy by having people who know the answers to important questions be around people all the time who badly need to know the answers to those questions and then to never have them tell them. That's just how it works. I don't like it much either, a lot of the time, but they think the story demands it...

It's still stupid, I'm not going to give anime a pass because it's anime.

It's a pretty standard harem show in style. You can tolerate them or you can't, probably. You obviously can't.

Besides Kampfer this'll probably be the only other magical fighter type harem I'll ever finish. Of course, I'd love to say I'll never watch another harem show period but so much shit is a disguised harem show it'd be like not watching anime at all.

The characters are generic, but tolerable enough to not make me want to immediately stop watching. I hate Muneakira more than any of the female characters, actually... though main characters in anime are often among the less popular characters in the show, for some reason. In this case the reason why's pretty clear though.

The hammer girl is the worst character by far and she's number one, the world as I knew it is over. Muneakira is actually in the middle. Not that I'm sure how to rate the rest of the characters who are all terrible just not hammer girl or idiot Jubei level annoying, I bet Schmidt felt the same way when coming up with his "sting index."

Hasn't happened yet, so far she's still a villain. Could still happen though, we'll see.

I'm telling ya', it'll happen.

Also, Muneakira is so, so annoying, it's hard to like something when you hate the main character. I didn't hate the main character in those shows. Um, unless you count Ryuubi as the main character of the latter two seasons of Koihime Musou, which she only sort of is. And even though it took a long time, her "actually doing something cool" moment at the end of season 3 was actually cool, unlike Muneakira's painfully annoying "finally doing something" moment in ep. 11 of Samurai Girls.

His cool moment was incredibly lame.

You think? I'm not so sure, I didn't even think of that until you mentioned the possibility. I hope you're right, though, because that would be better writing.

You seem to have higher hopes for the series' storytelling quality than I do, then.

Remeber how I griped about aggressive Gisen just not kissing him and getting it over with and it then turned out because she was a bad guy? I didn't think they had a reason except lols then and turns out they had a reason, a contrived, stupid reason but a reason none the less. I have to make the unfortunate assumption that whoever is handling this show could tell a decent story if they had to but are just unfortunately stuck making crap.

There's a lot of fear in the Dragon Ball fandom that Kai will be canned after Toriko debuts in April (it's in the exact same timeslot Kai is in on FujiTV). I don't think Toei will do this (it'll either be moved to a different slot/channel, or put on hiatus), but if they do, it's probably not one of their smartest decisions. While Dragon Ball merchandise hasn't been as popular as it once was in Japan, the series appears to be in an upswing in foreign markets, and brings in more income via foreign dollars than One Piece does.

My problem is that I enjoy the manga chapters inbetwen each capture as much as I do the capture itself, the problem with the anime is that it's not translating those chapters well or they picked the wrong chapter to adapt and dragged it out horribly (like the bugged game).

A missed chance to show the creator's game nerd-ism.

Shouldn't it be ending around then anyway? It's not like they'll stop showing it overseas if it ends there. Does Japan even show reruns when it isn't a designated "rerun series"?

Kai would be at the end of the Cell saga if it were to finish there. That would leave the 71 Z episode Boo saga completey ignored. I'm not quite sure as to what you mean from the last question, as from what I know, the earlier Dragon Ball series are still aired on some of the more niche Japanese channels, but having Kai not adapt everything is leaving money on the table given DB's popularity.

 

[JKTrix]

The only thing that would even make the producers ponder if they stop Kai before the end is if Masako Nozawa died. They're probably just moving it to a different spot if the time thing is true.

DBKai is consistently one of the top 10 anime watched in Japan, so if anything they're probably going to use its viewership momentum to give Toriko a huge push.

I wouldn't be worried unless they actually say something about it. Like when people were getting excited over the Dragonball manga reboot.

I don't think Kai will get canned. Too much money on the line, but it does appear Toei's being very frugal with the series (although that's been Toei's aim for the project since the beginning). A bunch of voice actors said they weren't sure if they were going to do Kai due to their acting fees, some of the staff even unsure they'd reach Boo, not to forget that ever persistant "Kai will end in 100 episodes" rumor since day 1... Although this isn't the first time Kai's been in timeslot danger, speculation was that the series would've been moved for the newest Digimon series, it didn't, Digimon did (although I doubt Shueshia would publish an ad for the Toriko anime and have a mistake for it).

As for that manga reboot, odd thing is that we have no idea if DragonBall SD is continuing. The end of the first chapter hinted it was, but Shueshia hasn't said a word about it.

Other than it being a Shaft production, there is no reason to not believe Madoka will be good. It is, however, a Shaft production, so it's best to expect the worst.

It's going to combine Hidamari Sketch with "Awesome", so it should be okay?

As things I dislike not as things that are all equally disturbing to me, my apologies if anyone felt me mentioning them in the same breath meant I was calling them all equally offensive or disturbing. I don't have a problem with men dressing up as women or vice-versa I just don't want to read it, totally different than rape. I didn't mean for that to come off that way.

Okay; I appreciate your clearing that up.

Kuragehime 9: It's already well established how awesome this show is. Developer lady certainly helps a lot, as it means less time with the dull amars.

Shiki 20: Yeah, well, what did you expect?

Lol Ozaki, you're pretty much the last guy in the world who can criticise another persons behaviour.

If I was Shu's dad I would've went all card crusher sensei on landshark lady.

Uncle Prime Minister's silliness aura is so powerful that it drags Shu's dad into it XD

Tokyo ban -- Yeah, that's awful. Definitely a violation of any reasonable freedom of speech, but I don't know if they have that in Japan... I just hope the growing protests force them to back down on it eventually.



I know those animes of course, and the mangas based on those animes, but not most of those mangas... I'll have to look them up.

How can you guys forgot the manga that started all this craziness?

YUBISAKI MILK TEA

Its not the oldest crossdressing manga, but it is the most memorable because the plot is so mess up (tip its not gore, blood, or sex)..... It has everything you ever wanted in a manga -.- You been warned.

That whole sequence of events in the middle of the episode plus the conversation between Shu's dad and the Prime Minister was gold. Pure gold.

YUBISAKI MILK TEA

I have read about half of that manga and yeah it certainly goes places. I might look into finishing it just to know what it ends up as.
