There's nothing about Love Chunibyo that would be inappropriate for a kid.


Though they probably won't appreciate what the show is actually about.

Agreed.  I listed Bear and Bofuri because they're age appropriate AND I think there's a very good chance a little kid would enjoy it.

They might enjoy Chunibyo, but I'd be less confident.  They'll definitely miss some of the humor.  

How the hell have I not run across panty and stocking with garter belt before? It is so funny, crude, silly and entertaining all at the  same time!! Repent motherfucker!!

I actually watched the first episode of the Bear anime and was thinking the main character was a Washu or something.
Nope.

wow that is surprisingly similar to (but not quite as good as) Humanity has Declined's ED

The ride is worth the most Gainax ending ever.

Washu from Tenchi Muyo.

Just watched the To Love Ru "All Quiet on the Sister Front" episode.



Rito got up in there. damn.

Agree, though the sub is also damn funny.

Any other shows getting the Shin Chan humor treatment, these days?  The world needs more of that.

Yeah, that's the only thing that came up in a google search for it, but then all I could find was:


Which didn't really tell me how the MC of Bear was a "Washu." Sorry, but you'll need to explain a bit more for me to get it.

The trial/quiz show episode was sheer brilliance, start to finish.

That's a blast from the past.  I recall watching that wacky series being akin to shocking oneself in the head with a car battery.

Such a weird concept how they kept reusing the same cast in different storylines.

Arrogant old mad scientist lady of incalculable power masquerading as a young girl for kicks, basically.

No clue how it relates to the other show.

Ah, gotcha. Because of the old voice the MC in Bear had despite being a 15 year old.  Now it makes sense.  Thanks.

Rito can’t fool me with that sleeping bullshit......... him and his savage fingers

Did I misunderstand or did I just watch them all sleep inside a running car in order to escape the cold?

Carbon monoxide poisoning anyone?

The club advisor teacher was certainly in no condition to drive - if that were in the US in most jurisdictions that would have been a DUI rap (but yes, I do know that there are many differences between US and Japanese alcohol-related laws and customs, for example I had a great time sharing a bottle of fresh, unpasteurized sake with my sister and her husband as we were sitting at a table in a Kyoto public children’s park one warm autumn evening - which the hotel concierge assured us was OK to do, but which would have been unthinkable in the US, on a number of levels).

You can sleep in a running vehicle, just don't sleep in a running vehicle in a confined, unventilated space.

With or without the vents pumping in air from the outside? I’ve read news stories of people being overcome in such situations...

I saw Tenchi Muyo GXP first. At the time I thought it was kind of WTF, but having gone back it's really not. Before I re-watched it I checked out the original OVA/show. I can see why the show is still popular. I did it all with subs, so the first time I heard the English voice actors was in their cameo episode in GPX. Holy shit, that was not what I was expecting those characters to sound like. Washu sounds kind of like a young Roseanne Barr. All the OG cast sound off. Some are down right terrible. Here is the ep in question. Washu shows up at 5:15.

Maybe if the car had rotten floor panels/exhaust leaks ..... I’ve slept in my car a fair bit and in winter it was always on and I didn’t even die once

How can we be sure of that?

Haven't we all seen enough examples of 'Return by Death' in action to cast some doubt on that assertion...

Safety would depend heavily on the condition of the vehicle, but my father (who was a truck driver) probably did it regularly in the winter.  People that got stranded on interstates in heavy snow have done it (requires making sure your exhaust pipe isn't covered by snow, if you're in something with an exhaust that is low to the ground).

Is it something that has some risk?  Yes.  Is it more risky than the hypothermia they were facing if they didn't do it?  No.  They were on a small peninsula extending out into a lake, so they were open to air movement around them, and if my understanding of the inspection requirements for registering a vehicle in Japan is correct, they weren't likely to have problems with the vehicle condition.

And I thought Pacino chewed scenery. If you liked kakegurui it's disturbingly accurate

The thing that makes Bofuri so much better than Kuma is that Yuma just does shit and everything goes her way, while Maple is the very personification of the law of unexpected consequences.

If it's outside and the car is correctly maintained, It's perfectly safe.

Maple is a combination of Forest Gump and Mr Magoo in loli form.

Washu is super old but exists in a child's body because she wants to be cute.
I thought something similar was going on when I heard the bear dub.

Bofuri is better simply because it's not another "I was playing a video game and got Isekaied into it" anime.  I'm so burned out with that lame trope.

I will even say Bofuri is better than Dot Hack(hell SAO is better than Dot Hack but not for the reasons you may think).

I never liked .hack.

I never really watched .hack//Sign when it was airing. Whenever I saw an episode it felt like I was an outsider coming in on ep 127 of a 300 plus episode series. The one thing I do remember is there was a large breasted woman the characters would ram face first into. Looking into it for the picture the fans seem to call her Miss Collision. This is the only pic I could find.


What is the reason you like SAO better? I personally don't mind SAO, and think most of the hate is overblown.

Worth the price of admission for the engrish alone

On a related topic.

Having finished Motto To Love Ru... and before I start Darkness, I'm taking a break and watching Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?

[     ]

I'm not sure whether it's the kid or his mother who should be considered to be the MC in Do You Love Your Mom and Her Two-Hit Multi-Target Attacks?

She can be embarrassingly annoying at times - and maybe she comes close, but at least I don't remember her quite telling her kid in graphic detail what Subaru's mother told him...  (!)

The MC of .hack was totally unlikable, and yet everybody fell all over themselves to be his friend. Made no sense. I plowed through the first five or six episodes, if I remember correctly, and it just didn't jibe with me.

SAO is all 'round more enjoyable for me to watch. Kirito may seem overpowered for no reason, but they give sufficient clues as to why it's so, and nobody likes him in spite of who he is, but more because of who he is. I wanted to root for him, I wanted him to succeed. As opposed to the MC of .hack who I just didn't care about at all.

Did you watch it or just read ill-informed comments?

I watched it.  

Not that watching it is required to know.

Only Dale thinks that.

I'm inspired to do something. Something I think will be fun, but also something I think is right. It might be a violation of site rules, which is why I'm starting in this thread and not starting my own thread, but it's been making me pissy and I've been mulling over it for a while. If it is in violation, site staff delete my post and tell me I'm a poopy butt, fine, whatever. I'm tired of the communists winning though, which is why I now urge you to subscribe to Coco on youtube. Full disclosure. I'm not a super fan or even a regular fan, because I don't speak moon rune very good, however I do think some of her English content is funny. I otherwise haven't been subbed to her though until right now, for the purpose of this. Here is why I'm mad though. She posted a video a long time ago (six months I think) that showed her metrics, and in the process showed Taiwan as an independent country. For the last six months since then Chinese nationalists and the CCP have harrassed her, constantly. Her parent company, Covercorp has reprimanded her and she is afraid of being fired. As I'm writing this she, just got shadowbanned by youtube again and is about to shut her stream off, clearly on the precipice of a breakdown. A few days ago China harassed her so much that she broke down and her room mate had to chill her out, mid stream.



I'm tired of this. This shit is fucking gay. As an update to above, she is now shutting down her current stream, only 25 minutes in, because this harassment has allowed her channel to be termed yet again. This is god damn bullshit. English hololive members basically have impunity to most corporate rules (Calli is Demondice and you can find her face and identity if you want, and everybody knows. Other people have been fired in the first couple of weeks over that) because they're all so relatively successful by comparison and have brought in way more money since they started, that we have proven to Covercorp that China is asshoe and America is friend. I want to drive that point home though. We've got to help get her over a million subs. The more, the better. She's close, and I think it starts here, but if you all share it, it could grow exponentially. Simping would probably help drive it home, but I haven't at this point, and I'm not going to ask you to either. I am asking asking that you show support against the communist party and their bullshit country though, by at least subscribing. I don't have any stake in the company. My only thought here, besides moral arguments is that if we can show them that they'll make more money with the west, they'll cool off of courting the CHICOM regime. If they fold, other companies may look at that and fold, and right now the greatest destructor of our drawn cartoons (unfortunately, besides western retards), is China. I don't want them to gain anymore influence than they already have.

Pewdiepie got a ton of subs for a meme war. This is a real one, and I ask you, fellow weebs, can we please get that bread?
