It's hosed up that only a few anime and manga fans care about the old shows

Especially because just by rule of How poo poo Works you're gonna end up finding more good stuff unless you are like literally looking through a catalog of all old anime.

Could also be because it's hard to discuss because sometimes people just have vague memories of what went down in that show years ago.

Well, yes I suppose if you wanted a show to tackle the serious question of 'should a guy in his 20's gently caress his teenaged sister' then Koi Kaze would be it.

I didn't know there was a show that went over the science behind incest, the long history of cultural taboos, the evolutionary biological reasoning behind the natural human disgust response to the event, the psychology behind age differences and their interactions with dating, and all the ethics behind it all. That might be interesting.

I suppose all of that manpower could have just been devoted to a big blocked out "NO" on the screen, though.

hosed up opinion: the tails/eggman stages aren't bad

Even more hosed up opinion, Knuckles and Rouge stages aren't bad.

Like I know that entire game is full of design flaws, but man I played that game so much as a kid (even doing versus battles in every mode with my sister hundreds of times) that I can't help but love every part of it.

I'd be fine with those stages if they didn't make one dumb change.

In SA1 you would detect if you got close to any of the 3 emeralds, but for some stupid reason in SA2 it would only detect the first one, then the second, then the third. It's annoying!

Sounds like somebody failed at sensing it in his feet.

From experience though, the whole hunting game is a lot more fun (especially in versus mode) when you already have an idea for every emerald location and the entire game is narrowing down where they are. The hint system even helped that along with it being a double edged sword (also telling the other person where it is).

Basically, the game can get fun after it starts tedious if you ever play it again.

You're gonna learn very quickly that a core theme in Sidonia is transhumanism. Bearmom is an excellent example of a person who's better than a normal in every way, including being a bear.

Not shoujo.

I'll be damned, I usually associate seinen with poo poo that's much more exploitative. Never got a hang of these Japanese genre things. It's a goddamn romance story.

To be clear because somehow you misconstrued my post before, I'm not saying that The Big Bang is good at all, but somehow these metrics based on popularity or cultural problems don't entirely fit and it looks like poo poo just ends up mad inconsistent.

Which sounds about right if you have a somewhat arbitrary banning process.
