verb the adjective noun

There's too much fundamentally wrong with anime for me to watch the "good stuff" - One Punch Man not included.

Though, I'd be more amenable if there were more super-high-quality shows with hyper violence. I feel like there's not a lot of that. I watched some of Attack on Titan, and THAT'S a show that could've used some extreme gore. Woulda fed right into the tone of the show.

But I'll be fine.
Anime is a medium, and is neither inherently bad nor inherently good. Having said that.

Hi, watch Jojo's.

What, the anime doesn't count as fanart? gently caress you, David are the biggest Jojo fans in the world. Fine.









oh wait not fanart again

man there's a ton of gay jojo fanart and not that much that accentuates the "holy poo poo this gets bloody and messed up" part of it

Also though, gotta say:

Jolyne was the best Jojo. Don't get me wrong all Jojo's are good, but she's the best one.

Also, could you dumb insecure nerds shut up about whether or not you think anime is bad or good? That would be wonderful.



Honstly muscular Bojack is way less realistic than freakishly bloated fat fetish porn Bojack.

Anime isn't a medium either. It's just a way to broadly categorize animation produced by Japan. Animation, however, is a medium.

2 questions:

1) Why does eveyone who draws "realistic" Pokemon just make them loving gross?

2) Did no one tell the artist that Tentacool and Tentacruel are jellyfish, not squid?

It reminds me of Monster Hunter. Re-emphasizing the "monster" part of the concept.

Well, yeah? It is a form of media, it does not have the capacity for thought or wants of any kind including lust! It does not require sustenance nor housing of any type, it is merely a form of entertainment, like videos of dads getting hit in the junk because they gave their children bats or clubs or non-lethal projectile items like nerf guns or such.

I'm kinda lost on why you wanted to point that out to me. :confused:
