Fuck that demon cat bastard, I'll never be able to see that emoticon again without gritting my teeth.

Why do humans always get so emotional about things? :3

[MagmaMcFry]

Found out about Sasami-San@Ganbaranai today, and holy shit is it fun to watch.

Uhhh. Let's all stop watching after Episode 9.

What happened? You can use spoilertags and tell me.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's basically just plot- and brainless filler fanservice, with futa. Ruins everyone's character. Let's not talk about it. Oh, the last episode tries to be plot again, but it's basic filler-type tripe that doesn't resolve or advance anything except itself. Trust me, you really really don't want to watch it because it just completely ruins your perception of the show.

But hey, the first nine episodes were incredible.

Huh. I kinda had very low expectations of it from the summary - expected it to be basic fanservice high-school sis/brocon clone tripe - and I dunno if I feel anything upon learning that I was correct. If anything, the first nine episodes being good is a pleasant surprise.

On an unrelated topic, why doesn't Motoko Kusanagi wear pants? It's clearly a personal style choice on her part, since she wears a uniform/bodysuit in combat situations. It seems that nobody addresses this, but then it doesn't seem like that sort of thing is normal in the world of GitS - she seems to be about the only one to do it. It seems pretty strange when the cast is gathered in Aramaki's office getting their briefings, and it's a load of serious-looking dudes in heavy clothing, and the Major in all her pants-less glory. It doesn't feel like it's a purely fanservice reason like MGSV's Quiet to me, either.

Note: I'm pretty new to GitS - I've gotten to about the middle of GitS:SAC, plus some scattered bits of the OVAs here and there when they were on TV - and if it's ever explained in-universe, just tell me to wait for it, I don't wanna be spoiled.

I think they just ported the outfit over from the manga which is a lot more fanservicey.

Huh. I'll admit to being a little disappointed. GitS:SAC Motoko doesn't come off as a very fanservicey type of character to me. I mean sure, her outfit is fanservicey, and the camera sure likes its waist-height perspectives, but her behavior is so cool that it feels like she'd totally have her own inscrutable reason for dressing like that and then not giving a crap about what everybody else thought about it. I was kinda looking forward to seeing how that reason would be revealed.

Oh well, back to it, I guess.

geddit

back to it

because ass shots

[Leafsnail]

I do agree, I think GitS (both the original movie and SAC) is a good example of radical changes in adaptation being a good thing.

I think the conflict between Ichigo and Ginjo could've been avoided. All Ginjo had to do was leave Ichigo a little bit of his power. It didn't have to be a lot, it just had to be more than what Ichigo started out with before they met. Ichigo would've then been able to train what remained of his power back to full strength in just a few weeks. They'd both have profited from each other and wouldn't have any further need to be hostile to one another.

[Neonivek]

How many fanservice characters have fanservice personalities? Heck the common trope is the fanservice character is AGAINST fanservice but keeps being put in that predicament unknowingly or unwittingly.

First off, I would like to say, to the new convert to the cult of ONE: welcome brother, it's been long enough out there in the cold, but you're home now, and you've got a whole manga and webcomic to catch up on.

Come inside and have a nice glass of PUNCH!

On an unrelated topic, why doesn't Motoko Kusanagi wear pants? It's clearly a personal style choice on her part, since she wears a uniform/bodysuit in combat situations.

She has a mix of exhibitionist urges, combined with the knowledge that yes, guys will stop in the middle of a firefight to watch some bouncing girlmeat.

Later she goes over it a bit more, and rather hilariously, with Batou.

If you went from being stuck in the off-the-rack meatship you're piloting now to a flawlessly maintained and ultra high performance racecar, do you think you could see yourself having a bit of fun with it?

Me, I want one of the bodies like Kuze has.

MAN, the way he just says "aight, my work is done, peace!" and jumps straight through the ceiling is great. "I need to be out there, there is a roof in the way... welp, needs must" *crunch* *boing*

Well RIP GAINAX it looks like

[Flying Dice]

Eh, Anno's running the other studio and they're heavily interrelated, so chances are that Gainax will be absorbed in some form, same people operating under a different name.

That's if you're talking about just OPM. There's also Mob Psycho 100, which has an anime and an almost complete manga, and Old Man of the Underworld, which is a webcomic, and also couple oneshot manga or two.

Gainax died in 2011 when their best talent went off and formed Trigger.

So er, I'm currently hashing out a system for a Dragonball game down in FG&RP. The game that comes out is gonna be set in Universe 6, the one from the tournament in Super.
Problem is, I haven't watched Super (BFEL is spoiled Dub princess) so everything I know about U6 is from TVtropes.
I know that Saiyans are Good Guy Gregs with no tails whose planet Salad is still around, and I know some spoilers about the Emperor, but not sure if some canon setting details about Earth or Namek or etc. have been hashed out without me knowing.

Which is important cuz the game is planned to take place on Earth and have Namekians as a playable race. MAYBE Majins too, but not sure about that. Frost Demons will also be a thing, but this is intended to take place BEFORE the Multiverse Tournament so if Majinn Buu is even a thing he's probably still locked away not having blob babies.

Anything you guys think I've missed? Might as well just text dump everything you can think of if you want (in spoiler tags obviously)
