I honestly never thought that I'd hear "keep reading or I'll shoot the other testicle" in an anime.
That's from the Abridgement though.
Keeps reminding me I need to check those out, it was just a sort of reflex to not trust anything but dbz abridged and not knowing that hellsing was the same folks at first, though the evangelion one was pretty damn funny.

"...AND THE PROMS TOMORROW!"

I hear you on not trusting other Abridged Series, but I recently took a chance on Something Witty Entertainment's Sword Art Online Abridged. The writers are actually pretty funny (especially as the series goes on), the main voice actors are solid, and the character interactions are great. They play up this amazingly dysfunctional dynamic between Asuna and Kirito, which makes the plot 100% more palatable and way more entertaining. Definitely superior to the source material, IMO.

Quote from:  SAO Abridged, Episode 05
Asuna: Okay, what the hell is wrong with you? You're way too... mellow.
Kirito: Well, I had some time to kill before the raid, so I figured I'd powerlevel my Alchemy a bit by eatin' some weird plants. And now everything's just great.

That is a pretty funny quote, granted, but I got a lot of stuff on the list before I get down to checking out anything remotely related to SAO, abridged or not.

Hellsing Ultimate Abridged is arguably of equal merit when compared to the base work, probably better in some respects. I mention that to give some sense of weight when I say that SAO Abridged turns SAO into a good show. Despite transforming the characters into (different) one-tone caricatures, it makes them more complex and nuanced than they were in canon.

Totes agreed.

Hopefully using totes unironically doesn't undermine my credibility as a person with good taste.

Nah. Taste can be chill some days, too.

Spoiler: Toradora Episode 22-23 (click to show/hide)

Next episode is the last one and no doubt the big confession scene or the part where everything goes Mosquitobites up. So we're going to do a full log, if that's alright with you guys.

Given enough support, I might actually make a thread for these. But I want to know there's enough people who enjoy it that it won't just clog Toady's servers with our circlejerk. So I'll ask you guys; Yes? No? What do you think?

A full log would be great. A dedicated thread sounds pretty good, too.

So after Fate/Zero and UBW the missus and I are watching Kaleid Liner, and I find myself worried to giggle about the first thought I saw at the end of uh, ep 9 I think? When the big guy comes back up and grabs Sapphire before she can get back over to Miyu.

All fanfics are heresy, each and every one, especially the shipping ones. Those are by far the worst.

It's a weird ecchi tropefest alterna-setting for the Fate universe, to sorta balance out the shit that happens to Ilya most of the time.

It's a magical girl spinoff that panders to pedophiles.

Which is a shame, because the core concept of "Zelretch takes apprentices and decides to fuck with them by making them act like magical girls" is hilarious.

This is why I started watching it actually, the yuri makeout stuff you can get by just watching any of the billion .gifs floating around the internet if that's what you're after, but the way 3rei unfolds looks great.
