I remember my school had someone come in and talk about drugs. He acted like it was a big deal that he smoked weed once.

We also had the D.A.R.E program here. It was fine I guess.

anime crap really isn't that expensive here. most figures are in the 10-30 bucks range with the very elaborate ones being the exception (ie ougi was 80). i've seen blu ray sets (so the whole show) go from 20-100 bucks which i think is like buying shows in the west? idk since i've bought 1 blu ray set in my life and it was more expensive than that

also every store is packed and you got to shuffle past people constantlu

American cigarette advertising is loving mental. It's not legal to advertise that in good ol' Canada.

In sweden it is legally required for each cigarette package to have "SMOKING KILLS" written on it.

Edit: in swedish that is, i'm translating for your convenience.

Wow, NNB and GochiUsa are more expensive than regular manga. They're going for KRW 6,000 or 7,000 whereas most manga are generally around KRW 5,000 or 4,000. That means they cost about the same as light novels.

Meanwhile, Jitsu wa got an anime adaptation but that apparently wasn't enough to get Korean publishers to translate it, which is a shock since more manga / light novels that get adaptations are brought over.

Just another way the anime has disappointed me.

Naw, i'm just joking because it's super freakin short. It is a good little fantasy comedy though, so more people should watch it!


They also added something called Lily C.A.T.

quote:

2264 A.D.: The Starship Saldes is sent into deep space to explore a newly discovered planet. The journey will take twenty years. The Saldes' crew of thirteen, mixing experienced space jockeys with eager but naive scientists, are prepared for anything -- except an unseen alien invader with an insatiable appetite. Along with the ominous force that takes over the ship's controls. The voyage becomes a grim struggle for survival in a vessel which has become a coffin orbiting the paradise world which was to be its destination.

There's a tone to the terrible anime-lite games I've been recommended like Ghost Trick and Ace Attorney that seems like it's going for whimsical and just comes across as flat, unrealistic, unfunny and childish in a really insufferable way.

It's embarrassing because someone seeing me watching this poo poo would think I'm a mental adolescent who believes humans interact that way. It's kind of like listening to Beastie Boys in your car. poo poo's just embarrassing.

Bad things that happen to the girls in Symphogear only make them stronger in the end. Chris probably can't even be killed at this point.
