The thing with anime though, there are a lot of different reasons to watch different ones. For example, a pitiful reason for liking Elfen Lied? It has nudity, or even just watching it for the violence. That assumes you pay no attention to the story, and what it makes you think about at times. The thing with it though, saying you dislike the artistic style in which anime is presented, well, that's a stupid reason. Different people have different styles. I'll bring up Death Note, everything seems to be in proper proportion. Surely there is no problem with that, and considering the characters look more realistic than the ones from say, The Simpsons, well, you can hardly argue there. Hell, I'll even go into the realm of manga, and there is a noticeable difference in the style of the authors of say D. Gray-Man, Dragon Ball and Death Note (I hate brining this up always, but I just finished the series, except for ones the site was missing). So really, bringing up the artistic style is a very bad excuse, since different people have different styles. There is at least 1 anime series out there for everyone, they just haven't gave it a fair chance, or found it. Saying that you hate all anime is a bit stupid too, since you haven't seen every anime series, and are judging it on one or two series, and judging from where Skully lives, that is likely DBZ, Naruto, Shaman King or One Piece, hell or perhaps even Pokemon. Really, a great reason for liking it, is the same as any other T.V. show, it has a good plot, and/or it entertains you.

Damn, lost my post, I'll try again. Regarding how they look, some anime is designed to look weirder, if it is not to be taken seriously. Some offenders? Dragon Ball (and all in that franchise), K-ON! (they look a bit unrealistic I.E. too thin and such), and Lucky Star (dunno what to say). However, those that are more plot driven generally look more realistic in the proportions. Such as Death Note, Clannad (well, mostly, though parts of it are designed for humour) and Elfen Lied (except to seperate the Di from Humans, in the hair colour, and the fact they have friggin' horns). Gallade, in mentioning those, took it to deal more with the target audiences that we (I) are bringing up. Which appears to be teenagers. The Simpsons looks unrealistic with yellow skin. Family Guy? Well, it has a baby that is bisexual and wants to kill his mother, and well, a goddamn talking dog. Tell me how western cartoons designed for roughly the same target audiences (age-wise) can differ so much from some anime. I agree with Gallade on CAD, I kind of gave up on trying to read the thread when he posted often, since it was a load of bull.

The names are hardly weird, really, the thing was made in bloody Japan, do you want English names for the character when they were born in Japan, are Japanese, and live in Japan? Plus, regarding the comment about how they look. What animes have you seen? Because they certainly don't look as weird as half the damn characters that are/were on Cartoon Network when I watched it up to about 5 years ago or something.

So when was he born? 2001? :S Or he is an impossibility. Though really, it is only seen through stupid manipulations of timezones, meaning he would be born on both New Year's Eve and New Year's Day, if you get me.

-.- :shock: :lol: I was going to make a smart remark, but your actually right. I'll do it. With that remark, we can pretty much assume God is male. And like all males, he clearly doesn't mind girl on girl.

Yes we know you hate Japanese things. Get over it. And if you think anime is "sad, annoying, and childish", wait till you see the crap that Cartoon Network spits out nowadays. Go to 4chan. I'd rather watch Cartoon Network tbh. Why? You don't get the plots and character developments of animes such as Death Note, Elfen Lied (to an extent, though the manga is vastly superior) and Clannad, and those are just the ones I have watched.

Coke (the drink, since some smart-[wagon] will probably make a comment) Music (Metal and Rock mainly, though the only Rap I really like is stuff by Eminem, I don't mind others, but I wouldn't obtain them) Video Games (JRPGs in particular) Final Fantasy series (Yes, I needed to add this in it's own because of the movies, but I didn't care much for XII) Anime Manga All that comes to mind at the moment.

Hmm, maybe. But honestly, accidental contact was probably the first for many of us. It'd be hard for it not to be.

Again, crowded public schools, not uncommon.

Megaton, related quests Remember people, The Vault, for all your Fallout Questions.

:lol: Damn, they are so twisted. I think it gave some pretty good messages. 1) /b/ is not your personal army 2) If you provide /b/ with a way to get your information, you will get paid back for attempting to make them your personal army.

You bastard! You beat the button mashing of (circle on PS3, dunno the rest) on your first attempt? I don't even have a 100% success rate no matter what difficulty. Though it seems about the same speed on all of them. Infact, even on the hardest, the game is piss easy. Except during the final boss battle when you jump prematurely and get owned by laser, or when he fires it off when you are that near him, you can't dodge. I'm guessing he survived because he was slowed down in the way he took it out. And you know, he's [bleep]ing immortal.

See what I mean Riku? The way he acts. Kid, learn to [bleep]ing compromise. You have two choices, move the damn computer, or give her the privacy without complaining. You seem incapable of neither. You spoilt little brat. I'm surprised she can put up with you. Even through the way you come across here, I want to beat some common sense of you. Compromise means sacrifices must be made, you only need to make a relatively small one. EDIT: I have to share a room with my brother. He is 4 years younger than me. I could use the moronic arguement of "I was born first" to try and get my way, it is similar to what you put forth. However, I don't mind putting DvDs on my PS3 for him, or turning off the music when he wants to sleep.

Yeah, assuming the majority of TIF attends/has attended a public school, chances are, we've accidentally felt some boobs. It's not big confession.

First I read that and thought, what the hell? Then I read it again, and realised what was wrong. It is bloody Doctor Who, and secondly, I hate you now. He is called the Doctor, or just simply "Doctor". Damnit, learn it before you use! Either way, you can do that, then we send you out into the masses to test. I give you a 0.0001% survival chance, cause we'd be preparing to move on.

I suppose it depends on how you look at it. Of course, Bradon doesn't give us all the information, then the computers and things could have easily been bought at christmas/birthdays. Really, it's just how he acts that made me respond in such a manner. Let the woman talk to her damn family with privacy. And if it annoys you so much, request that a computer be moved out of that room and into another. I mean it is not rocket science, is it?

The plot is hardly what you go for though. You go to see CGI robots beating the [cabbage] out of each, and you get it. The plot comes in second (or third if you prefer Megan Fox to be second).

[hide=Quotes] No dude, he isn't doing anything wrong. I'm pretty sure if you were in his position where you're used to being able to use a computer whenever you like, you'd be pretty pissed if some randomer appeared out of nowhere and started running the place, not letting you use a computer that is yours just because she is talking to someone? Wow, all he wants to do is spend his free time doing something he enjoys, he's a kid/teenager, it's a need to do something recreational that you enjoy. I don't really understand the McDonald's part, so i'll pass on that one. You say that about him getting pissed because she has OCD, but I bet you've never lived with someone who has it. I expect you'd feel the same in his position. He's asking for help, not for you to be a jerk to him. About the computer, I'm pretty sure it's his dads computer considering the kid didn't buy it. I mean you can always just ask to move it anyways, it seems like his dad is being pretty supportive. Nah he said he and his brother both have their own computers also in that room. [/hide] We all still highly doubt they bought them themselves. More likely was the father bought them, and they each have a computer they use. Kind of like the one I use, I'll use like "Dad, something is wrong with my computer.", I know that it is technically still his (well, except the 160gb secondary harddrive, the moniter (Christmas present from parents) and the graphics card), however, I find it easier to say "my" because it refers to the one I use (and I'll probably end up owning it anyway when I get a place of my own, even if I do have to pay something for it, I wouldn't mind, my parents wouldn't overcharge and I don't have to buy a new one.) So yeah, until this kid goes and buys the computer, it is not his. I mean, I can say things like the T.V and PS3 are mine, but even then the money came from a policy my parents had on me and I got to keep the insurance (about £500-£600) and put the rest away, the T.V. pretty much came from money put into my bank by parents (even now, I still set a personal limit on what I can hit, though only recently got near it).

We can test that plan. Get some idiots to try moaning and walking like zombies, amongst zombies to see if it works. While we attempt our escape. Or we can always choose our meeting place to be a pub and have a pint while we work out the finer details.

I would sympathise with him, but his manner, and the fact he's had 5 years to get used to the fact his parents won't be together stop me from doing so. He would have adapted to not having his mother around all of the time, yet he should be mature enough to accept the fact that there can be other woman in his father's life.

But then you go and post them in the wrong thread completely.

Okay I don't mind a few people joking around but if you do post any pictures here i'll remove them. By ranting here you're effectively asking to be judged, and 5 weeks really isn't a long time to get to know someone. ...especially when you're not trying and have your mind made up already. So it's kind of clear that he's just a jealous little kid who doesn't like the idea of another mother figure? Seriously, that's something he should have mentioned at first. Listen Brandon, get to know her better! You're making no effort whatsoever, instead you are continually [bleeping] about "invasion of privacy" and [cabbage]. She's trying her best, you on the other hand are doing nothing. You sound like a spoiled little kid, and then have the nerve to call her a golddigger? You want a freaking Dune Buggy! Something you don't need! Sure, maybe she wants a car, but can't drive. That doesn't mean she can't learn! Again, grow up. Plus, if you post pictures of her here without her permission that is a major invasion of privacy, more extreme than "cleaning your room". Which, may I say, is moronic. She's making an effort, you are doing nothing but complain, finding faults in the most minor of things. The problem here is you not her.

Next time they call state: "I have requested that you no longer call this number. If you continue to do so, it is classed as harassment and I will get the [authorities involved/speak with my lawyer.]" That should work.

You need to talk to her, that is your solution. Just don't come out and say it, especially if you barely know her.

With some people however, you can tell. It wouldn't work for me to just put some deodorant on, considering the length of my hair, it is noticeable if I haven't washed. Would be the same case for others too. That and you'll actually feel a bit better being clean.
