I like the animation a whole lot, which is why I get tricked into watching animes from time to time and then I remember that the slavish devotion to form, the standard and ubiquitous stock character types, the lengthy and irritating melodramatic monologues and the antrocious pacing is the reason I cannot stand loving anime.

for me it's that 99% of anime women are sexualized to the point of caricature

like even ghost in the shell is about a super soldier spy lady who is the best in the world but she's also a closet lesbo who likes hanging out at home with her future tits out in a future negligee

Do we think Obama will be more or less visible in his post-presidential life than W currently is?

He's going to be 55 when he leaves office, which should give us at least ~30 solid years of trollbama to endure/bask in.

There's always opportunities for former presidents to make public appearances in favor of their party, just look at the stuff Carter was doing on the daily show.

I agree whole heartedly with the first part, but I too hang out at home in my most comfortable underpants (if that) when alone. That show was pretty solid in comparison to most.

The chicken just posted the real kicker that'll probably get a few of y'all pissed.

A judge encouraged it as a way to raise revenue.

Also Justice Obama has a nice ring to it.

When people talk about running government as a business, I don't know what other scenario people have in mind. If it's about profit maximization and nontax revenue instead of about providing crucial infrastructure and services, all of us who aren't filthy rich are hosed.

Wasn't there an actual anime series that was about the Nazis during ww2 that was pro-fascist. I remember reading about it on sa somewhere. Y'all get into some weird poo poo as long as it's animated by pervy Japanese dudes.

It's all good (so far), but I think we all can acknowledge that the first movie, with Mamoru Oshii, hot off of Patlabor and his live-action stuff, is some drat beautiful work.

Hmm, on the other hand, Kusanagi is deliberately very distant from humanity and human behavior, unlike Batou.
