I wonder why they don't even have shows about Japanese people in Seattle at least.  Washington is apparently a favorite place for Japan to send their exchange students to learn English.  Something about how Washingtonians having a "neutral" accent.  At least, I like to think an anime that compares American Seattle culture to Japanese culture would be interesting 

The problem is that currently Japanese people are too tabuu at the moment if what I can gather is correct.

There just isn't any angle you can tackle them from that doesn't seem offensive to other people but not in a way where people laugh (Like blackspoitation).

Just watch Norbit (or Norbert... whatever that Eddy Murphy movie was called) and just see the unfunny.

For people outraged at anything Asian just read anything on Avatar controvercy (the good Avatar... not the one that sparkles)

Almost done with Act 2 of Fate/Zero.  The chapter names are just weird.  They're like a countdown of days or something insane.

Started volume three of Gunslinger Girl.  I'm on chapter 16.  The Pinocchio arc was pretty badass.  My favorite so far.

BLAM NO SYMPATHY

The best place for bodies.  Especially when you expect guests.

I'm liking this plot progression.  All the character development, all of it.  Clearly all the pages I bother to upload and hide behind a spoiler tag are there because they're either awesome/funny/emotional in or out of context.

[Neonivek]

Wow that comic confused me... especially since I read it in the wrong order.

Which oddly made it even cooler >_>

[Hawkfrost]

Finished Angel Beats!.
I liked it rather a lot, but the ending was pretty sad.

LONG LIVE PASTA

Holy shit this chapter in Fate/Zero.

Spoiler: I just found the Dexter of this world (click to show/hide)

"People say murder is a crime. But let's think about it. Aren't there 5 billions of humans crowding on this Earth? Ryūnosuke knows well how outrageous a number that is. Because he counted the gravels in the park when he was a kid. Of course he got discouraged after ten thousand, but he didn't forget the frustration he felt that time. There are five hundred thousand times that many humans. Furthermore, it is said that the number of births and deaths everyday can be counted by the tens of thousands. What weight can Ryūnosuke have by becoming a murderer? Beside, by killing people one by one, Ryūnosuke can perfect each of their death thoroughly. Occasionally, he enjoys making sure the "process of death" takes up to half a day. With this incentive and experience, the information volume brought by one death can be much more important compared to what you can get by living a too short life. From Uryū Ryūnosuke's reasoning, can't you say that homicide is a more productive action?"

You are one homicidal maniac Ryuunosuke.

How many new characters will there be?!  This is cool.

EDIT:

Spoiler: It keeps getting worse (click to show/hide)

His first kill was his sister and he has just been leaving her in the shed of his parent's house or something, hidden I'm guessing.  That's so messed up.  Unlike Dexter this guy kills indiscriminately.

Episode 24 was a great conclusion to Steins;Gate, a good end to one of the best series of the year.

I wonder if the movie will be animated or live action. I can't see them packing all of it into 3 hours either way, really.

[ToonyMan]

I'll be sure to play the VN and die horrible horrible deaths when it's fully translated.  They're like half done or around there.

EDIT:
On Act 3 of Volume 1 in Fate/zero.

There is no lie in her words. Her azure eyes are perfectly serene.

Saber has green eyes, not blue.  >:O  It's official.  Different character is different.  Everything is a lie.  Satoko died with her Aunt in 1982, the end.

Spoiler: I guess I'll give some context here (click to show/hide)

EDITX2:

Spoiler: Fate/Zero (click to show/hide)

Certainly, Rider insisted that the book was "preparation for war". But how on Earth can a book that isn't even about war strategy be helpful on the battlefield? 

"Rider... Why, did you, bring this book?" 

At Waver's bitter question, the Heroic Spirit answered with a grave expression. 

"The Iliad is very profound. At the height of battle, I would suddenly get the urge to read a verse of poetry. At a time like that, I feel bad when I can't reread something immediately." 

"..." 

He feels like his interlocutor just gave him a bullshit answer, but fear stops him from arguing back. 

"At a time like that, you mean... In battle?" 

"Yes." 

Rider nods nonchalantly as if his reply was perfectly normal. 

"... But how?" 

"With my left hand, when I hold my sword in my right hand. If I need to hold the bridle with my left hand, I get a page to read it aloud." 

"..." 

Waver felt at loss for words at the unimaginable answer. 

"It isn't that surprising. The warriors of my era all lived a life of battle. Battling while drinking and eating, embracing women while battling, battling even while sleeping. Anyone can do that." 

Just ask him and he won't stop. This man does seem like he could do all that, but... 

"You're kidding, right?" 

"Of course. You fool." 

He sniggered and gave an exploding flinch on Waver's forehead. 

"Gyaa---h!!"

Waver and Rider best Master&Servant pair or best Master&Servant pair?  Mind you the two are on top of a bridge.  And I'm talking on the arch on top of the bridge.  Awesome.

Man the anime is gonna be good.  I'm starting to like Fate/Zero more than Fate/stay because it's just a lot more cooler and less stupid.  Shirou is a naive idiot who dies a lot besides the single one moments where he is able to not die and that in itself is impressive (for him).  The cast of characters are more older as well.  My only complaint is that it won't be possible for Shinji to have an active role in this.

Hmm... 19/26 for GitS, and Batou is officially my favorite character (well, humanoid character.  I'm not counting the Tachikoma right now).  Kind of strange!  He's completely outside my usual preferences.

[Roundabout Lout]

I've only seen the occasional episode of GitS on Adult Swim, and sometimes can't make heads or tails of what they're talking about, but I'm partial to Togusa because he's the only "natural" human on the team, and seems to feel out of place sometimes.

So apparently there will be Last Exile 2 after all!

FUCK YEAH

I saw that, I'm super super super super super excited. Last Exile is one of my favorite anime series. I'll have to tell my dad, too, he loves it as well, pretty sure.

EDIT: And then I found out it's set in a different world with different characters. Where's the awesomeness of Last Exile if

Spoiler: Minor spoiler (click to show/hide)

The world is no longer hourglass shaped? (I loved guessing at how the world worked with going up somehow changing gravity and everything..)
 
And without that alien guy and his 'Immelman' awesomeness. Because he's one of the main reasons I liked the story.

Spoiler: Major Spoiler related to above (click to show/hide)

Why are authors so horrible sometimes? Don't make my favorite characters go suicidal! That last scene with Dio was so depressing

Anyways, I'm about to watch Gurren Lagann for the fourth time, and I am not the sort of person who watches something even twice typically. I don't know what keeps me coming back, but...it's just pure awesome, I guess? Still need to go watch the movies sometime though, maybe I'll do that instead.

[ToonyMan]

Fate/Zero is looking great as always.  Playing some Ever17 right now
