How is having a cat as a character a problem ?

And GW models have been getting bigger for Years- just compare the original terminators (that fit nicely on 25mm bases) with the new ones

The wave of dwarf releases were eagerly anticipated and the iron breakers and slayer character are easily some of the best stuff GW has ever put out

It's not. "The character is half snake" isn't actually a problem either. Neither is "it's anime". In general, good shows are good and bad shows are bad, and these qualities are based on plot, character and direction far more than they're based on the way it got animated or whether or not a character has cat ears.

Men should not be trained to believe that they have some innate right to sexual access to females without putting in any work to make themselves attractive mates!

They should because it creates the fedora lords, which are funny, and also makes people with a moderate grasp on grooming look much better in the dating pool.

When I was dating, I found out that being funny, able to carry a conversation, and being like a 5/10 put me in the top quartile of single 20-somethings

A lot of how people react to things is in how that thing is presented. Presentation, choice of actors, Art style, filming practices, sets, locations, costume design, animation quality and complexity, physical acting, voice acting, subtitles, translation, all of this has an effect and will change the way you receive a story. Small changes can effect what part of the good vs bad spectrum the production falls upon for you. The Wire as an Anime is not The Wire, it may be independently good, but it isn't the same thing.

OK, I was watching Round Vernian Vifam on youtube. But the dude only uploaded the first three episodes. The rest is there, but in a lovely picture in picture thing that some people do to try to fool the Youtube copyright machines. Which is not a fun way to watch anything.

Vifam has never been available in America, nobody owns the rights to release it in America. Even in Japan, the Vifam DVDs are well out of print. Is it OK for me to post a link to a torrent of it? I know it's ok to post links to downloads of dead games in this forum, would Vifam fall under that rule too?

That's BS, don't conflate the two.The Monster Girl fad came up organically. Okayado made those single page comics, put them up on Pixiv, and it grew from there. And there's a lot of good monster girl mangas. T-Rex Girlfriend is great. The Rokurokubi manga is really sweet, Bird Cafe is hilarious.

Boat girls were designed from day 1 to be a corporate money making scheme, and it's produced nothing of value

Battlefoam. They are the guys that sue everyone in different places about laser cut foam. Like all over the place so that small shops are inconvenienced by traveling all over the states.

The good case is KR Multicase.

KR Multicase or Feldherr both seem like great choices. Feldherr's cases are designed to fit (old?) GW foam and vice-versa, which might matter for you. Overall, your choice probably will depend on who has a better selection of foam for the guys you wanna store. Feldherr also has an Amazon store (with a limited selection) so you can get Prime shipping.

I like Feldherr, though annoyingly they don't do double size cases. The regular card cases are poo poo, the big 4x card cases and the fabric cases are the bomb.

Do you mean these are the good card cases? I was going to pick up some Feldherr stuff (mainly their half-size fabric cases for skirmish games) and was considering transferring my old 40k minis to some card cases that I could just shove into a corner of my closet.

It's from Battletech I think, but I recall reading about a mercenary company that were loyal for the duration of the contract, plus the next contract, and no further, ie they would not immediately turn around and hire themselves out to your enemy. Meant a safe exit, because the employer never had to get paranoid about them doing a sneak attack from the inside as soon as they were done.

I actually really like this and may have to steal it for future use.

Deeply agree. Robot anime seems far too wed to the old Hollywood catastrophe/invasion movie formula, where you have to establish external familial ties to make the threat a threat against an imagined society as a whole, to properly embrace a Jojo dramatology.

Go Nagai, the creator of Mazinger Z, is the co-creator of Getter Robo. So they're cut from the same cloth. Super robots piloted by hosed up dudes fighting a crazy army of giant monster robots over the fate of the Earth. Specifically, Getter Robo Go has a much larger scope and a much more apocalyptic feel than Shin Mazinger Z Impact!, though. The whole world is fighting the evil monsters, so there's an international team of crazy robots piloted by bad people.
