Big Anime Fan Here posted:Please reveal to me how many people in this thread haven't watched Kids on the Slope but have watched the really bad shows everyone is posting about I watched Kids on the Slope this year and it was pretty good. If I could put it on my list I would, even if it did have a really stupid and offensive god drat plot point that it used twice. Hurr Durr I am afraid of commitment and am confused by all my teenage emotions so I am going to act like I'm going to rape you to drive you away. I wonder if that poo poo happened all the time in 60's Japan jazz culture?

The kind girl loved them both. And in the end, she loved them enough to accept that they wanted to gently caress asses and play jazz standards forever, even if at times they did not realize this themselves.

One of the gay boys became a priest. The other one became a doctor and looked at penises medically. They both reunited at the church and played a song

Yes, clearly everyone should watch a long, detailed, niche space opera. Anyone who doesn't want to deal with that is just uncultured and not worthy of anime.

I'm pretty sure that it hasn't, and Funimation is doing it anyway. Not questioning it is the right plan.

Discotek does a lot of sub-only releases but they're wizards that make money with the weirdest decisions. Lots of shows get them actually, like half of what Sentai Filmworks puts out and most of NIS America. Funimation just doesn't, and the one exception just kind of proves that rule because they haven't since. Sub-only home video releases are more of thing now than they were back when Tatami came out, but I'm still pretty sure that if it wasn't in Funimation's hands it would have gotten a release. loving Flowers of Evil got one. devtesla fucked around with this message at 19:37 on Dec 28, 2014 |

I'm very stupid, but yea The Wire is actually very easy to appreciate when compared to a deliberately niche and indulgent show like LOGH. I actually do think the show is super cool, but the recommend LOGH constantly thing is best when it's kind of a joke.

I actually do think the show is super cool, but the recommend LOGH constantly thing is best when it's kind of a joke. Like there's a dude in GBS who just got into anime recently and just started on LotGH, and he's falling in love with it right off the bat. It's really not a stretch to say Legend of the Galactic Heroes is one of the best TV shows of all time, and calling it "niche" is disingenuous. The only reason it's not been localized in the US is because the holding company for the rights wants an INSANE amount of money for it, not because nobody has tried to localize it. Unless you're saying "all anime is niche", in which case...not really? What I'm saying is you have to be literal human trash to not like Legend of the Galactic Heroes, the above anecdote is proof, you see Captain Invictus fucked around with this message at 21:25 on Dec 28, 2014 |
