ones i have noted when speaking to Americans:

what is the deal with that? back when pokevision worked it always started out in santa monica and it was rare i didnt see a ton of dratini, gyrados and all other manner of absurdly rare stuff thats never shown up anywhere near here. bugs i can understand but giving one location a massive advantage over the rest of the…

i dont think this was ever meant to be for children, why start off including only the original 151 (ok not the full 151 but close) it was always aimed at those who played the originals i think. and i wouldnt say its a bad game just a broken one

what the fuck is going on with that gobag? a knife, condoms, gloves, things for treating wounds, its like a kidnap and rape kit or something! seriously, while youre out at 2am catching a pigdgy in some back alley (because its always a fucking pidgy isnt it?) explain yourself to the nice police officer, why youre in a…

i thought it was common knowledge too

well its not the real thing but kawasaki warehouse sure felt very GiTS (an arcade in tokyo recreated to appear like kowloon walled city even using some recovered parts from the original place)

damn, at first sight i almost thought that was a season 2 announcement, who hasnt watched season 1 by now anyway? (if youre reading this and you havent seen it, for shame, drop everything you are doing and go and watch it right now)

i also found the CG very off putting

i understand what you mean but japanese culture is still very much consumed by the chinese too, there are certainly enough chinese anime fansub teams out there so there must be plenty of people willing to watch it regardless of their possible prejudices, thats just my assumption though, ive spent the grand total of…

you are absolutely right though, the story is rooted incredibly heavily in japanese culture, and save the biker bit lets face it Chronicle was enough of a westernized akira tribute for anyone too lazy to watch the original movie or read the books

if i was having a really good day and feeling really positive i could kind of forgive the GiTS whitewashing, or at least the majors as shes a full cybernetic body i can suspend my disbelief and say she didnt have to choose an asian shell despite being of asian descent, but 30 something white guys as 15 year old…

this is great artwork for something that overall makes me go pale with horror, are they seriously casting 30 something white men as 15 year old japanese kids, no, stop, im not going on a rant, let it be known that i stuffed that one down

the tiniest damn thing sets me off, that uni qlo logo alone is enough to bring memories of tokyo flooding back, man i need to go back there soon, its more addictive than any drug

the tiniest damn thing sets me off, that uni qlo logo alone is enough to bring memories of tokyo flooding back, man…

i actually had the originals as a kid, bet theyd be worth a fortune now had they not got lost or smashed up, ah well

personally i think its one of the best shows currently running, its one of the few things i look forward to every week

ive done that experiment too, come the end of day 3 shit starts getting real strange

i tried but arriving at 10.30am i was told disdainfully “its all gone” but then the guy at our local comic shop makes comic book guy from the simpsons look like the most warm and helpful human being on earth

this really does do a great job of capturing tokyo, makes me want to go back even more (well if thats even possible. if anyone wants to trade any lightly used organs for a house and japanese citizenship you know where i am)

the thing is the major is a fully synthetic body, shes not necessarily any nationality anymore
