My favorite thing about the eye of argon is how infrequently people actually say things People shriek, whisper, mutter and bustily query things, but they do not say things

Testekill posted:Urgh, I got a full body cringe from this review. Not with the review itself but the subject matter isn't even an entertaining kind of shlock. You can have good shlock but Eiken is loving gross and revolves around tits. There isn't even any clever jokes or innuendo You know as bad as Eiken was at the time, I'm pretty sure lots of anime made since then beat it without even trying. Hell even at the time I think Ikkitousen was way worse. Eiken was only two episodes, Ikkitousen had multiple seasons. Asuron fucked around with this message at 01:57 on Apr 29, 2016 |

I think its the fact that Eiken never actually goes whole hog that disgusts me the most about it. Like keeping all the tits covered somehow makes it more acceptable.

The Porco Rosso one is especially obnoxious because "When pigs fly" is not exactly an expression that only the Japanese use or anything like that. Porco is also a self-proclaimed womaniser or a bit of a pig if you will. edit: I get really annoyed when people just do not get Ghibli films. I understand stuff being us for interpretation but you should just not be able to get the "when pigs fly" thing. Testekill fucked around with this message at 06:05 on Apr 29, 2016 |

I dunno, I seriously dislike the message that Grave of the Fireflies tries to convey, but then I'm not a delinquent teen in 1980s Japan, so perhaps I'm not supposed to get it.

If they did wouldn't it be like illegal because I could swear I heard in Sage's video they said they were all in Jr High. So at best 14. That's really really hosed up. Yet some goons upon being linked Sage's review just didn't get why I might have more than your usual ARRRG ANIMEEEEEE irritation with this. Also someone send this and one of the Channel Awesome movies and make Red Letter Media do a Best of the Worst on it. Maybe that lovely looking Dragonlance cartoon movie too.

I'm pretty sure Eiken is, or was at some point, intended to be an over the top parody of bad high school fanservice anime. Hence the grotesquely oversized breasts, all the sexual imagery, and so on. I'm not sure if the people responsible were any good at it, though.

They most likely funded the game by scamming Andrew Hussie (the Homestuck guy) out of kickstarter money.

To go into more detail, if I remember right, Hussie was collaborating with them on the Homestuck game, but there was a sudden massive delay in development for no public reason and with no announcement, during which time the new Kings Quest came out. Later, one of the people involved in the game said on Tumblr that the developer had used the Kickstarter funds from the Homestuck game to fund the Kings Quest game instead, but the post was quickly deleted. And rather than denying it, Hussie just said not to talk about it, leading most to think that there was some kind of legal settlement with a nondisclosure clause behind the scenes.

For all the poo poo people give Randy Pitchford hardly anyone knows one of his shittiest things.   That's right. Criticizing Borderlands 2, even as a big fan, is akin to domestic abuse. Go gently caress yourself.

Seriously. I'm not going to lose any sleep if a Homestuck game is never released, but swiping funds raised from the public for one project to fund another is a lovely and underhanded thing to do.

I mean, yeah, I'm sure that money working at the big names is better but a lot of the people drawing Starfire as an obvious example just should take commissions for nerds on porn sites basically. I'm not saying you were. It's more my issues of WHY Eiken seems more hosed up than say that anime where the dude gets a corn cob up his butt in spite of technically showing less. The whole age thing is just.... hosed in the head. Some adult comic book characters being drawn skeevy all the time is just sad especially since this is the internet age and all. But at least they are adults so it's just eye rolling. Also kind of makes it hard to actually do anything sexy with them male or female when their usual attire seems like stripper outfits or fetish wear. I think this is why anime gets ( rightfully ) poo poo on a lot more than western comics. It's almost always underaged characters being horribly sexualized and usually without any actual characterization or agency. Mostly just written and drawn to fit an appeal type on some near sex offender's ideal checklist. It's been there to some degree pretty much the second Dirty Uncle Go Nagai did some manga in the early 70s but it seems that's about ALL anime and manga wants to do now. Like it's not just hosed up fandoms doing whatever they do to ruin good things. The creators themselves do it from the outset. Like yes looking back on Chris Claremont's X Men stuff there are many many eyebrow raising things. But the anime and manga go so far beyond and so loving blatant. Maybe it's because I am older now and have always been a goody goody but.. It's hosed up and shouldn't be, ya know?
