Australia is a good example. We have 624 KFCs, 301 Pizza Huts, 1229 Subways, 869 McDonalds, and 300 Burger Kings (though under another name), serving a total population of 22 million. And yet Taco Bell failed here, and completely closed down after trying to get a foothold in the Australian market for 35 years. So, it's not like we're not partial to American fast food, and hey tacos are plenty popular in themselves, just not that franchise's version.

One of the few times I've agreed with you; Taco Bell is pretty terrible :P

Taco Bell is pretty much the lowest of the low. It's just that other countries, Taco Bell has too compete with the local street foods which is both better and cheaper than Taco Bell.

I am again reminded that I am literally the only person I know that likes Taco Bell.

Fast food is fast food, I dunno what makes Taco Bell so awful in comparison to a lukewarm smooshed burger from McDonalds or something.

Pizza the Hutt is the closest thing to a winner in that list.

Noticeable Bone bits in the meat... something you only usually get in Dog Food.

The fact that they don't really cook their meat they squeeze the meat sauce from a tube.

They add the cheese ontop the lettuce.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

So I finished the first arc of Knights of Sidonia. I feel like my best explanation for it is "a cross between Attack on Titan and a harem anime, set in space with giant mecha."

It wouldn't be a harem anime if less than everyone wanted to get it on with the MC.

They did win the food wars though, didn't they?

Heh, my best explanation for KoS is: This is why animu characters have wild and colorful hair.

I'unno about you AC, but when the freakish alien thing is crafting meat dresses, I'm going to act like it's amazing so I don't end up as material for the next one. Positive encouragement means they're less likely to eat you and wear your arse as a hat. Hopefully.

The only thing to mention when Knights of Sidonia is stated to be like a twist on Attack on Titan is that KoS is a few years older as a series. Just mentioning that so we don't get the idea that it's some sort of clone.

My money is on Macross Frontier as an influence on KoS, what with a deep-space colony ship attacked by mysterious bio-mechanical aliens and the humans experimenting on the aliens to make bio-weapons. Frontier aired the year before Sidonia started serializing so the dates work out.
