People’s resilience and ability to not be physically harmed by words is not a reason to perpetuate demeaning and hateful expressions, even if they’ve lost some of that ugliness over time. I get what you’re saying here (they’re only words, right?), but this concept of “people just shouldn’t take it the wrong way” is…

I feel like this show wants to have its cake and eat it too. It wants to be some great metaphor about puberty and sex, but then it also wants to (literally) objectify its very young female cast.

“You watch zombie shows! Violence is bad! Why aren’t you more accepting of the fact that I want to jerk off to teenagers!”

Take a seat, bud.

As someone who has a history both with personal childhood sexual trauma and objectification, and as someone who works with numerous youth that have history and backgrounds with that, it’s a bit much to see a work that seems to be almost glorifying the sexualization of either minors or people who are portrayed as such.…

Yep, this is why I checked out of watching 95% of anime. It’s two parts “I’m too old for this preteen appeal” demographic and one part “cringe”. My ex roommate watches one about a billion year old dragon/demon/ghost in the body of like a 10 year girl, and over ps4 chat whenever he watches it, it always sounds like a…

How dare this person have an opinion which different from your own? Doesn’t he/she understand this is *anime* AND *Japan*?!?!?!

I have a hard time getting interested in anime anymore. I’m not against the art form but it’s hard to find reviews and suggestions of any particular anime as an art form and not through the lens of an anime lover.

That would explain why I feel like a 50-year old man whenever I check lists of popular anime. I always get this sense of “Really?”

You just explained 90% of modern day anime from Japan.

Hold on there sonnyjim! Please show me a collection of your best comments before you’re allowed to criticize other comments. They’ll have to be top-notch I’m afraid.

This is a common misconception. Zelda is the scientist. You’re thinking of Zelda’s Monster.

Yes, he is.

Also, the main character in Metroid is named Metroid, right?

“Somehow, a new player-created holiday became a story about conflict, betrayal and the disappearance of an entire civilization.”

So, they invented Thanksgiving?

Also good ass-art.

Probably Lee Marvin.

I am incredibly curious as to how they’re going to make this work. So much of the humor revolves around tricking the mind into trying to paint a mental picture of something that’s either literally indescribable or that turns out to be different than described. I mean, if nothing else, the entire camera crew is going…

“Notice: there is no digital, static-y hum coming from the Dog Park, Mayor Pamela Winchell announced today. The mayor stressed repeatedly in her 90 second impromptu press conference that there is no unbearable, soul-tearing sound that rips at the sinews of your very being coming from the Dog Park. Mayor Winchell…

“And now a brief public service announcement. Alligators: can they kill your children? Yes.”

I wonder who they’re going to cast as John Peters. You know—the farmer?
