What's wrong with disassembling your gun on watch? Aren't you just verifying your service side arm is in top working condition? Wouldn't want it to jam or misfire right?

Plastic_Gargoyle posted:The historian part of me cringed, but the museum volunteer/member/etc part of me thinks "eh, you gotta make money for upkeep somehow, and if this'll do it..." I mean Americans love Transformers which is just walking talking cars and stuff; the anthropomorphization of various objects into living beings is kinda just the logical extension of Shinto beliefs of ascribing a living divine spirit to objects and creatures; and western media has plenty of it's own examples of walking talking things or animals. As you've noticed there are benefits such as driving interest through tangential learning which might not otherwise have existed. I say, more power to it, because I think the concept fundamentally satirizes militerism; attempts to convey melancholic "tragedy and heroism" notwithstanding, as we've seen it fundamentally fails. Vincent Van Goatse posted:Yeah, that was it. I discovered it a few years ago because I'm a naval historian who occasionally needs to search for pictures of ships and those searches kept turning up weird anime poo poo and I made the mistake of not ignoring that fact. IIRC this can *only* happen if google knows you watch anime or play anime styled games.

Stravag posted:Last i knew transformers didnt have their clothes come off the more damage they took This isn't specific to anime and I don't see how this is relevant. Plastic_Gargoyle didn't say "gently caress fanservice in anime", in which case I'd be in total agreement with as fanservice isn't integral to the medium in any sense, but saying "gently caress shipgirls" because I dunno, "My precious history!" I'm not sure which criticism to take more seriously when it seems identical to that Japanese director's complaint of a lack of "tragedy and heroism" just with a different coat of paint.
