I'd rather just give them a buck through alternate means and acquire the mp3 through alternate means, as well. I dislike iTunes enough I don't even want to contribute to its download count, in all honesty. Fucker was about as bad as McAfee the last time I dealt with it, and my hatred of it is subsequently that of a thousand burning suns.

Ah yes. Gumi.

Not nearly enough guitar riffs.

Gundam builders try episode 2 Woo!

SD GUNDAM FORCE AHHH!!!

Dang it Gunpla!

Ehh I am not willing to be mad yet. I understand that really the reason why SD gundams are used for the female characters a lot is because demographics wise I assume that SD gundam was very popular in the female demographic so that combination makes sense.

So all I need to see is a single male character using a SD gundam and I'll be fine.

Also DANG I just realized how common the "Brown thick and long pig tails and glasses" character in anime was... when I saw her I suddenly found myself saying "Hi person from a lot of other anime"... I couldn't tell if she was a cameo or a new character.

Also I don't get the Drama either... So the modeling club absorbs the fighting club... They didn't even establish that this would eliminate the fighting aspect. HECK if anything "I" think it would improve the club as it would allow specialists of both types (modeling and fighting) to get together under one club. Why is this such a big deal?

[Frumple]

*deadly, SRW-aligned stare*

Then there's the almost-RotK (?) SD gundam series. And basically every SD-styled gundam game. I think in making your assumption you're ignoring a huge amount of existent data points, Neo.

Like. Almost all of them? If the SD stuff has been marketed to females, it... would appear that the attempt is entirely hidden from any actual produced products related to it. At least any that I've seen.

And we've only seen... what, three, four? SD gundams in build fighters. Total. I'd probably say it's too early to note a strong gender bias in their assignation. If we get another dozen and they're all female piloted, then... maybe.

[Neonivek]

No I mean I am guessing that the reason why women always get the SD gundams is possibly because they are popular with women.

either that or sexism.

Sexism or demographics those are the only two choices

Or... coincidence

Basically I am bending over backwards just to not give the show a sexism label.

Thought I'd give Prisma Illya a try again, maybe it got better. I'm pretty bored, so why not. Less than a minute in, 10 year old girl's panties occupy most of the screen. Wow, that escalated quickly. I'm forced to agree that this show is probably specifically marketed at pedophiles. I'm out. This is unwatchably creepy for me.

What, you didn't even make it to this scene? Mind you, that's from the second season.

[Gentlefish]

Uh...


Hwat the fuck?

[USEC_OFFICER]

I'm... going to need a lot of context for that scene. Because holy crap that is a incredibly bizarre and creepy scene. I don't even know where to begin. _{I'd probably throw out the words 'loli', 'elf', 'rape', and 'fetish' out a lot though, because goddamn that scene. Was Prisma Illya based on the creepiest H-game ever or something? Because that'd explain so much...}

[Orange Wizard]

Kiss of rapey death? Holy hell that was weird.

It wasn't based on the creepiest H-game ever, but it was based on Fate/Stay Night. And that was, y'know, a pornographic VN in its original incarnation, even if the porn was really only there because that's what's expected of a doujin VN. Thus, the setting decrees that bodily fluids contain mana and transferring them from one person to another also transfers said mana. So the brown girl wasn't just molesting Miyu, she was also draining her of mana. Apparently she doesn't generate her own mana and will die if she runs out, so she drains it from others.

The real reason is, of course, to provide fanservice to the people who like watching that stuff.

_{Or wait, was it prana? I don't remember the terminology exactly.}

[BadLemonsXI]

Judging from peoples reactions and the fact that I'm in a place with lots of people around I'm not going to click that link.

[Orange Wizard]

You're missing out, really.

[Frumple]

_{Or wait, was it prana? I don't remember the terminology exactly.}

Probably prana. Unless it was od, but... probably prana.

And yeah, for all that FS/N has provided a lot of awesome stuff, it is a setting that had a threesome as a fairly major plot point, and the original Illya was one of those "actually 500 18 years old" things. Or somewhere thereabouts -- base Illya's usually older than Shirou, who's... 16, 17 at base? Just arrested (physical) growth due to that whole uh. Spoiler redacted thing. Somewhere in those ranges, anyway. Which does make the base form assimilation into prisma (with the notably downshifted ages) understandably unsettling for those unsettled by such.
