Sorry I haven't posted in a bit, as I've been feverishly editing the entire Week of Ninja Turtles, starting this Monday, as well as the 1 hr 39 min finale of Superfriends! Hope you guys enjoy it! I'll be fine in Cuba, going with my gf to a 4 star resort, and Cuba loves Canadians. Thanks for the concern though!

I saw that comment about someone's wife not digging it when Pat yells alot. I just saw a comment on the DC Scribblenauts of a few people complaining about when I yell. This is a slippy slope, because you want to be hype and not appear like you're just going through the motions or bored. Do I yell too much? What is a good balance?

Not sure if I'll even have decent internet access where I am, so you might not see me again for a bit, but I'll try to be around more once I'm back!

1hr and 39 minutes of Superman 64?!? You're stronger men than I and I own the game. Also "It'll be fine, I hear they LOVE Canadians" will be great words on your tombstone next to "The grave have started to move"


Also don't worry about yelling. The best part of the Nuzlocke stream was when Pat got there and was getting dumb excited for crits and getting hype and poo poo. The best part of the Nintendo E3 video besides your faces when they reveal what NU-ZELDA looks like is when you're all yucking it up when Iwata and Reggie fight. Just be your dumb dorky selves and we'll keep watching. Have a good time and do absolutely 0 loving work.


Also read All Star Superman you shitbox.

I just want to piggy back onto this point because I really think it's a great post and an important point. What I find most charming about the super best friends is how the boys are 100% real in all of their videos- there is absolutely no pandering, no irony, no disingenuous bullshit whatsoever and it's refreshing now that we live in an age where everyone is on eggshells to not offend someone and have to apologize later.

I made a point a month or two ago that even though I'm no big fan of Anime I'm really sick and tired of most people on this forum and elsewhere going out of their way to point out how much they hate all anime if it's ever mentioned to the point where it's just white noise to me now. I respect the gently caress out of Liam that he doesn't buy into that given the cultural fad and continues to like what he likes. Just like what you loving like! I respect people that don't give a gently caress and don't bother breaking their backs qualifying/apologizing for poo poo that they enjoy :)

Yeah, I can't stand anime in general outside of a few shows, but I respect Liam's love for it, and I respect that he approaches the topic and talks passionately about it with the same candor and enthusiasm that everyone in the group has for their own things. That energy and earnest enthusiasm is what makes the SBF unique and really the main reason I enjoy tuning in so much, even when it's 3 hours of podcast about topics I couldn't give less of a poo poo about. They're just a fun group to listen to.

SBF is one of the few that understands liking or not liking anime is the same thing as saying not liking movies or books. I never see anyone compare Dora the Explorer with King of the Hill just because they're both drawn. It's just dumb to put it all under the same umbrella.

I've posted my critical thoughts on Liam before but I'm definitely going to be more reserved about it going forward as it'll feel super dirty and awkward trash talking a dude as his irl friend posts in our thread, haha.

I have hope for Liam, though. As he grows older eventually the bitter taste of the world will crush and twist the life out of his being until all that's left of him is Pat.

Liam sucks not because of anime but because of his insistence of playing devil's advocate for the most inane poo poo. And if he gets backed into a corner by the argument, he tends to go with "well that's my opinion" or similar copouts instead of admitting he might be wrong.

Also I will never forget how he unironically brought up Rapelay in conversation(mostly because of Pat's flabbergasted reaction).

Anime as a genre tag does what a good genre tag does: it's a label specific enough that you know pretty well what a person is talking about when they mention it without the label being so specific that it becomes jargon or priggishness borne of nerd gerrymandering

Except all it means is "animation from Japan" which is stupid. It's like saying British film is a genre.

That... is a genre, though? There are different sub-genres that are created by the contents of the anime in question, sure, but 'anime' is the qualifier for it. Like, you can't include 'bishounen' without saying 'bishounen anime' outside of Japan because Western culture is entirely different and if you say the former people won't have any point of reference for what you're talking about.

What I think you're calling stupid is that people will just use anime to mean "animation from Japan" because that's what it's a foreshortening of, but nobody who has any knowledge on the subject does that.

The only time you hear people sum up the entire genre is when they say "I don't like anime" in a huffy voice, and by that point you already know they're an idiot and not worth talking to. They're like the people who sum up their music taste as "I listen to anything except for rap and country".

It's this exact behavior that I'm complaining about though?

Comedy is a genre, action is a genre, romance is a genre, so are horror, scifi, and historical fiction. Any and all of these can be represented in anime/manga. Because as Pat said in the podcast, those aren't genres, they are mediums. All they words mean is animation/comics from a specific country, just like "manwha" refers to Korean comics. Yes there are weird subgenres that you will probably only see coming out of various different countries but that doesn't mean you can declare equivalency between those subgenres and the country's whole output.

Oh. I figured you were just complaining about people calling eastern animation "anime", sub-genre qualifier or not, which people do gripe about sometimes. There are some people out there that really just don't like the term 'anime' because they are overly anal about their subcultures or whatever.

Oh no I use it myself constantly, it's simple shorthand. It does cause a problem if you're trying to recommend a series to someone who isn't too familiar because the moment you call something "anime" they'll just probably think of DBZ or something. But then again, 90% of the time all I'm suggesting is Baccano, where the problem is easily solved by saying "it's about 30s mobsters, but they know kung fu."

Yeah the Wii U is basically the unsung hero of this console gen for me. Wonderful 101 is loving batshit crazy awesome, and a lot of the other exclusive titles for it are great too. I don't regret picking one up instead of a Bone or PS4.

Yeah, right now the Wii U looks more interesting to me than the PS4. I'll probably pick it up when Smash Bros comes out, along with Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta. Hell, even Hyrule Warriors looks like stupid fun.
