I've gotten complete volumes of manga from my local library. That's how I got to read through all of Nausicaa. They're just all placed squarely in the young teens section and when I venture into there I'm always afraid a Weeb Alert is gonna go off and I'll become the town pariah.

[Flying Dice]

Actually, that's how I got the idea to torture myself with Red River, my library has most of the volumes in ANF. Plenty of other random stuff too: JJBA, Barefoot Gen, &c. Teen section has more complete but it's mostly shonen and softer shoujo stuff.

Speaking of which, how's that particular set of barbs coming along?

Probably next week. Got a bunch of stuff I need done tomorrow night and more Sunday. Already procrastinating enough as it is.

DANG Boob Wars!

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Look can't women in anime just have an impartial observer, perhaps a eunuch, scientifically PROVE whose breasts are better using an agreed upon criteria? It would save so much time.

In fact how about we just have an anime where all women do is compare their boobs against other women in front of a panel of 3-5 judges... and the winner just wins the argument and gets whatever it is they are fighting over.

Now of course the boobs will have their own elemental affinities I mean... this IS anime and there are five essential category of boob sizes. So the videogame adaptation could switch to RPG battles with a team of up to 3 boob warriors fighting it out (or perhaps make it Pokémon where you collect girls using the power of your bland personality) using the enemy's boobmental weaknesses.

Now of course after you defeat your boobrivals you steal their panties which allows you to learn their attacks. The quality of the attack depends on the color with white being the weakest and string bikini being the strongest.

Ohh and levels are in reverse because they represent your age. You start off at age 21 and as you gain power you age backwards until you reach about 12 where you become a goddess.

The final boss of course should be your conscience because you bought this game.

Edit: I just created the game!

It has sold amazingly in Japan and has received scores of 10/10.

But apparently there is a lot of confusion because they think the game is an adaptation of some anime... but they aren't sure which anime it is.

---

Actual Edit: Actually lets put this in spoilers... No one needs to see my frustration over what seriously needs to DIE in all anime... Even if you like fanservice... NO! Even if it is a anime ABOUT fanservice NO! it is the most disruptive unbelievable thing I ever seen...

If you want women fighting over which one of them is the sexiest... then do it... Do not write the pillow fight equivalent.

Counterpoint: Keijo!!!!!

[Cruxador]

Honestly, that sounds like the kind of enjoyably terrible premise that could make a really fun series in the right hands. Kind of like Ore! Twintails ni Narimasu.

So the blokes who made Hellsing are making a new show. It's called Drifters. I'm less than minutes in and it is already clear that this is made by the guys that made Hellsing. Why?

Well, you can tell because of the EVERYTHING.

And it has Nazis in it again, too. The manga does, at least.

Kouta Hirano really has a massive boner for Nazis, doesn't he?

[Frumple]

The aesthetics, at the very least, yes. Which, I mean. They did have that pretty well down, all things considered. Plus they're generally on the antagonist's side and get shot up a lot. Not very many people don't have a fair appreciation of nazis getting shot up, quiaff?

WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE SO mUCH BLOOOOOOOOOD

[Flying Dice]

I mean if you're going to have stylish super-evil villains why not Nazis? They're iconic, tremendously stylish, and incredibly satisfying to kill. The true gift that Austria gave us was an enemy that will literally never stop being boring because every time you pause to think about how cartoonishly overblown their villainy is you remember that the real Nazis probably did something crazier and more absurd.

I do faintly recall a story about how they drafted up plans for an orbital magnifying glass to fry people from space, if that's even remotely true, then there's not much you can do to top that.

[Reelya]

IDK, I've read about some of the schemes the USA came up with during the cold war to use up all those h-bombs they were churning out. Frying people with a big magnifying glass is nothing.

I had this book a while ago, but someone stole it. It includes a lot of quotes and reports of different cold war schemes. One of the plans tossed around was the idea of exploding 1000's of H-bombs on one side of Mt Everest. The idea was that this would act like a lever, and tilt the Earth's rotation such that Moscow would end up on the North Pole.
