Touch his penis.

Wait, I'm being sexist towards my own sex. That's not any good.

To assume that guys are that single minded that the only thing they care about is sex. Geez. What was I thinking, being so inconsiderate?

Obviously guys are deeper beings than that.

That said, everyone loves a good penis touch.

It's the greatest anime ever. It set so many standards in storytelling and character development. It was the anime you all should've watched before all that Yugi-Oh and Naruto came out.

Dragon Ball Z set absolutely no standards in storytelling.

People like Osamu Tezuka were making far deeper manga long before Dragon Ball Z was even conceived of (see: Buddha).

And that's not even considering the fact that the original Dragon Ball is much better

It set the bar for epic in all things and created a protagonist who is universally recognized as stronger than Superman.

It's really not difficult to create a protagonist that is recognised as 'stronger than Superman'.

I could write a story right now that created a protagonist stronger than superman.

Once upon a time, there was a man. This man was totally strong. His muscles were, like, the size of bowling balls or some shit like this. Anyway, this guy had the power to lift entire galaxies, because he was so strong.

One day, this guy (his name was Totally Strong Guy) rocket zapped up to space. He then decided to test his strength so he lifted not one, but two galaxies above his head. And he did this like a million times.

And then he flew back to Earth and killed Goku and Superman because he was so strong that he was much stronger than those two.

The end.

It has everything from a kickass protagonist to sexually ambiguous villains. Everything DBZ accomplished all other shounen have merely mimiced.

Great. It set the standard for shit clones. That's brilliant.

I always judge a show by how many terrible shows it influenced.

You all fail hard for promoting your pretentious shit anime and forgetting the masterpiece, the Mona Lisa of anime.

The Mona Lisa of anime? What the fuck?

That statement is wrong in several ways:

First of all, you're assuming that the Mona Lisa is the greatest piece of art, which is ridiculous considering how subjective art is.

And, more importantly, you're giving the series way too much praise.

This is a series that dragged out its episodes so long, it didn't seem out of place where a battle that took an in-universe five minutes, actually took up somewhere around five episodes.

This is a series that cut corners so much that by the end of it, every battle was either fought using laser beams, or by having the characters 'move so fast you can't see them' (and also, move so fast that the animators don't have to animate them).

This is a series that is just generally lazy, drawn out, and generally unimpressive.

The prequel series is better. The original manga is better. There are dozens upon dozens of shows that are better.

And you seem to think that the series had some sort of revolutionary storytelling, which it certainly didn't. It seems like an insult to the medium to think that a series like Dragon Ball Z could be the pinnacle of its success.

I mean, don't get me wrong; I watched the show as a child. But even then I recognised how ridiculously conspicuous all its problems got as the series went on.

I prefer my anime to be short and sweet. Little time for them to go off the rails in terms of quality like Dragon Ball Z did (alongside many other longer series).

Finished Dragon Age: Origins last night.

Fuck the ending of Dragon Age: Origins.

Sounds like the genre you're looking for is 'ambient music'.

Level 11 done.

I wouldn't even bother trying another level 11, because this level 11 is the fucking shit.

I suggest you do something like that. People like to know exactly what they're walking into.

Over here, I've never heard the word 'otaku' used in speech (outside of a Japanese class, when talking about Japanese culture). I'm guessing the vast majority of the country's teenagers have no idea what it means.

I'd never even heard of the word before I went to Japan.

It seems like, if I were so inclined, labelling myself as an 'otaku' would just add time explaining, rather than saving time by using speech-based shorthand.

You shouldn't be labelling yourself anyway.

Labels are for chumps.

Valkyria Chronicles.

Okay, maybe not the BEST storyline, but it's a great game with a solid story. You should play it.

I've got more important things to talk about.

I really don't know what your point is. I mean, I was using the modern meaning of the word 'otaku', not the 1980s meaning.

Yes. The reason I think it's an insult is because in Japanese the word is generally an insult.

Japanese has other words to describe fans of things. 'Otaku' is a word that is used to describe obsessive fans of things.

And the fact that, in English, you would describe your interests in Japanese media using a Japanese word just makes you sound like a ridiculous Japanophile.

I really don't think you understand economics.

The fact that people are saving money is actually bad for the economy, which requires spending to function.

Surprisingly enough, people usually don't mean it when they say they wish someone would die.

With teachers, people usually don't like them because they aren't easy teachers. People don't consider their teachers outside of the classroom, so all they're basing their hate on is the way they teach.

When a teacher dies, they seem more like a 'person' than just a 'teacher'. As such people evaluate them as a person instead. And in general, people don't deserve to die young. Especially not people who dedicate their life to helping others for low pay.

And besides, people have this thing about not disrespecting the dead.

People have a lot of conflicting emotions about death. When people die, it usually causes you to remember the good times clearer than the bad.

That episode of Futurama with Fry's dog had no effect on me.

For one, it's because I already knew the story of Hachiko, and noticed the similarities before finishing the episode. For two, it's because I didn't understand why that dog waited there. The dog knew where Fry was. The dog could have waited outside the freezer where he could clearly see Fry.

It was a stupid dog.

Hey man, I've been around Japanese teenagers.

I know what they use 'otaku' to describe.

There's a Video Game Forum for threads like these.

It's the only thing that I know.

Imagine: You're playing a game. Let's say it's a good game that you enjoy playing (let's not be too specific here). Everything's going great.

Only at some point you reach a part that you just can't get past. You try your hardest, but you just can't beat it. No matter how hard you try you just can't past this point in the game. It may be that there's a puzzle you can't solve, or you keep dying, or whatever. The question is:

How long will it take you before you give up?

Will there be a point where you decide to just look up a strategy guide?
Will you refuse to use a strategy guide no matter what, and keep on trucking until you beat it, no matter what?
Will there be a point where you just say "screw this" and stop playing the game?
Will you keep going, but get so angry that you throw your controller across the room, destroying it in the process?

How perseverant are you when playing video games?

As an aside, I'm asking this because I recently got my dad to start playing Valkyria Chronicles. He got up to the fourth chapter, and kept dying. He kept on repeating the level for around 12 hours straight, finishing it at 3am, refusing to accept my help, or look at a strategy guide, all the while laughing at how bad he was at the game every time he lost. It was some crazy shit.

I am of the opinion that absolutely every time anyone has felt the need to mark their sarcasm with some sort of punctuation, what they said was not worth saying in the first place.

The sort of people that punctuate their sarcasm are the sort of people that confuse sarcasm with simply lying.

Yes, but that wasn't what I was referring to.

I was referring to the fact that you (and others) made specific mention of the genocide of the Jews from WWII, but neglected to mention the millions of others that were... Genocided.

I don't care about the meaning of the holocaust, but it seems weird to me that people would only mention the Jews when talking about the mass atrocities committed by the Nazis.

I love how people are citing Elfen Lied as an example of an adult anime, considering how ridiculously puerile that show is.

Elfen Lied is the intellectual equivalent of a thirteen year old boy masturbating while quoting Nietzsche.
