I had to watch it.

I don't regret it more than watching InuYasha.

Seriously though, it was a pretty good review. I can't believe I didn't pick up on how unhealthy the main character's relationship was. Made me literally cringe and instantly regret wasting all that time watching it. In my defense, I dropped it about halfway through. Bennett's appraisal of the series is pretty apt. The anime ended with no resolution. It was literally a "read the manga" ending. I can't imagine what it must have felt to anime only watchers who have never even heard of manga. Too perfect.

I was going to make a joke about how this thread's opinion of Bob would flip as soon as it was mentioned that GGer(s?) had said anything disparaging about him. I didn't make it because I felt it was too inflammatory and unnecessary.

I wish I made that joke.

Sorry for continuing the derail, but the scientists weren't making them. They were studying them to get rid of them. There was some long speech about the horned girls being a natural species and "the next evolution of humanity" or something. They were a wierd kinda parasite that infected human women to only produce more of themselves. Hence saying they're all rapists, because that's exactly what it is. It's condemning someone to carry a child that isn't even their species, and whose birth will likely kill them. The handicapped girl does this casually to women passing in the street. Our "hero" is a rapist serial killer. With Boondock Saints you at least have the thin justification of the badguys being mobsters. Here you're supposed to cheer a character on the same moral level as Alex DeLarge.

Holy poo poo I didn't even remember that aspect of the show. With every girl pissing on the stairs and just not caring, and getting abused, and chopping limbs off, I guess something had to slip between the cracks. Didn't the anime end on a cliff hanger? Better than the manga's ending. I really like that opening though.

Jesus Christ, I just thought of the implications of the manga ending. Gross. Excuse me, going to marathon Jojo to scrub my brain with a good show.

Please don't stop posting, Jay O. Your post are actually interesting and, at the very least, relevant as you are an 'Internet Critic'.

I want to say that SEED and SEED Destiny killed any chance of Gundam being popular in the West. It was that bad, IMO. drat it had some nice plastic model toys though.

It had nothing to do with the show quality, it was because Toonami kept moving SEED in time slots without telling anyone. It was prime time, then late night, then super late night, then at one point was airing at 5 in the morning. It's how FOX killed their shows unofficially by moving them to Friday nights.

It's really laughable that you think quality in any medium, whether anime or not, ultimately determines popularity compared to how much marketing power it gets.

I don't know. Maybe it was moved out of prime time because is was that bad.

Seriously though, when it originally aired, we didn't get Cartoon Network in Canada, so it stayed in the same block when it aired here.

Don't really take anything I say seriously. I just really hate SEED and Destiny.

The Amazing Atheist was also in my recommendations. However, it was recommending his daily videos about Justin Bieber at the time. I guess Anita is now his favored whipping boy. I think this guy has a serious problem with obsession. Or he's just producing click bait for MRAs/pre-teens.

Speaking of people tangentially effected by Angry Joe, Errant Signal put up a new video on the indie game Sunset. Twice.

The first time he put it up, he included a couple of seconds of a Let's Play of the game by Bro Team Pill, the same assclown who threw a DMCA notice at Angry Joe for associating him with Gamergate. The Sunset video wasn't up a half hour before BTP made a threat of DMCA notices on Twitter, which he claimed afterwards was just a joke, but considering BTP's behavior with Joe, Errant Signal still took down the video and reedited it.

Sometimes the internet feels like one long Tristram Shandy novel.

I would not think one could file a DMCA for LP footage. If I owned the rights to Sunset and they had actually filed it, I would have filled one against them as well. Only them though.

Your DMCA takedown doesn't actually need to be legitimate for YouTube to go through with it. It's just a lot faster for Joe to recut the video and reupload it than wait on YouTube to process his dispute; and in a situation like this, it's just better PR to not fight it.

I know. It's just with all the problems with LPs, especially with Nintendo, I would think they wouldn't want to poke the bear, so to speak. The Sunset devs must be indie for them to even think of pulling this off.

I don't think it's that bad. The melody is upbeat and nice. As for the lyrics, it's not like she's speaking for all women. It's more like she telling us about one of her fantasies which she should have kept to herself. The 'kiss' line is probably the worst of it but bad lyrics are par for the course in today's pop music. Basically, if it comes on the radio, I can safely ignore it. It's all I can ask of bad pop music.
