For the record, they are meant to be the extreme versions of the most unscrupulous, selfish people that we all have encountered. The mantras of the show were "a show about nothing" and "no hugging, no learning". The humour stems from them taking issue with the idiosyncrasies that exist within the daily routine of life…

Show some respect to the most feared videogame warrior in the territory who probably heard that multivideo support makes videogames fast and cool and DOS games like Flight Simulator.

Also, once we've all finished rockin' the desktop, let's all get crazy by going to themes on Microsoft Plus and clicking 60's USA...it's…

But you must like George Constanza and Kramer right?...Right?! *twitches nervously*

It's just that sometimes you just want to go where everybody knows your name. And they're always glad you came.

False. Seinfeld does help everyone. When you don't feel like taking a break from all your troubles at a bar that is.

I can see how that would annoy you: I admit that I wanted Tai and the first Digidestined to play a greater role in the Emperor story arc of season 2, but after a while I didn't mind so much and quite liked the armoured Digimon. By series 3 I'd just accepted it, but the complete lack of Digidestined that I knew…

I think Digimon might the rare case where I preferred the English voice-acting over the Japanese. The characters have more personality.

That would actually be an interesting angle; I agree that targeting a more mature audience would be beneficial (perhaps a 10 and above range), because even when I was five I thought the darker aspects were the most exciting aspects: there were actual stakes. If you are talking about an even older age group that could…

That is definitely the problem and I think that they need a new tact for approaching any kind of game. Personally, I would focus on creating another great anime (Digimon had a far superior anime in terms of a plot that was darker and edgier) and creating poseable action figures with a tie-in Skylanders-style game that…

Be that as it may, it doesn't necessarily mean that there isn't legitimate criticism that can be levied against the book. Treating anything in absolute terms is bound to have detractors and naysayers, as well as supporters, but just by virtue of saying something absolute, while too broad to capture the nuances of the…

Or a legitimate dislike for a poor writer who is touted as something grander than she ought to be. For what it's worth, it's not the philosophy that I take issue with so much as the style of writing; I felt that she tried to fit every metaphor or simile that she could think of into each passage so that it no longer…

The anime was fantastic and I was so excited when War-Greymon first appeared. My dad once bought me a giant inflatable Agumon from Japan while on a business trip; it blew my five-year old mind. I wish that there was a way for them to reintroduce it, because most attempts have failed. Favourite Digimon series? I…

There's an awfully dull passage in the book where (I can't remember who) someone is described as "a steel man" and then a hell of a lot of metallurgy metaphors. Obviously the actual Terminator doesn't show up, but if he had, the book might have been better.

It's a mistake when a third of your book is just on-the-nose…

Yeah I don't think it'll ever reach the dizzying heights of Pokemon either. It might turn out like Digimon: pretty popular for a few years, peters out and never manages to properly re-enter the cultural zeitgeist outside of Japan. I personally don't like the character designs that I've seen. The difference is that…

I can't stand Ayn Rand: her writing is pretty atrocious and Atlus Shrugged is only good if you see as a comedy where random shit happens and a man that is described as if he is the Terminator shows up.

I did address these points in my post. Perhaps your reluctance to read is why you are struggling to comprehend that the issue is not that children have to define themselves as gay or straight and that they will be "confused" as to their own sexuality (you are right, most young children don't even seriously care about…

Yeah if you are looking for something light-hearted and soothing, then Madoka isn't the best call right now. Go for Sailor Moon.

Evabridged is pretty hilarious.

In light of Sailor Moon being re-released, I decided to rewatch a few Digimon episodes as as a trip down nostalgia lane. I'd forgotten how enthralling and dark it was.

Actually to tie into Richard's article, surely the Digimon/ Pokemon situation was one of the first major accusations of "this is a total ripoff" in…

I am laughing far too hard at this...
