I came here a few days ago and got a recommendation for a drama, and you guys gave me school days. I was watching this on a long car ride across the country when my friend sitting next to me in the car saw that I was watching an anime, and she said that she liked anime and asked if she could watch it with me, not knowing what happen in the end I let her watch. It was going great she like the story she teared up a little at the sad parts, and it was going really well...UNTIL THE LAST EPISODE!!! If I knew that was going to happen I never would of let her watch it. Now she is scared shitless of anime and is mad at me for watching it! Seems like such a stupid reason for her to be mad at you, since you too had no idea that would happen. If she's important to you, maybe try to explain that not all animes are like that? Maybe show her something nice like Clannad so she regains trust at animes?  And I know it's mean, but your post made me laugh quite a bit. Thanks for that. | ||

Even if have bad taste atm will it a experience to remember compare to another random harem anime. I remember that had to stop watching it when just had ended airing and got spoiled how it would end. There where even a lot of rumors how it would end as the game had many ending including 3 bad. Another story. A year a go was I visiting my towns libery and I did see a anime on one of the public computers, "Hmm what is this, rare to see a anime in Sweden. Yeah it's school days. But it a small girl maybe 7-10 year don't watching. Does she know English/Japanese enough to get something out if this. But still is this not a bit extreme for small child." I as watched a round a bit but didn't see someone would be parent. In the end did walk out without telling. But by knowing what will happen later in, Is this one would have allow my child to watch. Hope she didn't was able to see the complete serie. | ||

Amazing episode, even better than usual. I don't even know who my favorite character is anymore; they're almost all so awesome. Music was really good this episode too, as expected from Yuki Kajiura. I was so sad when Kirei stabbed Iri, good thing she has Avalon. Really enjoying the Saber-Lancer relationship. | ||

I did recommend Gundam Unicorn and Legend of Galactic Heroes to you, just saying. You even said you wanted a sci-fi/action anime too...I even warned you about School Days. The thing is though, that my friends who ridicule me for watching Madoka, read and watch worse stuff. Worse as in H-everywhere and super-gore... | ||

And I'm not talking about those friends you're hanging out with frequently. Almost all my friends know that im into anime and that I have a definite passion for it. Just 10 minutes ago I was browsing SankakuComplex and just went crazy when I saw the Morishima Nedoroid and posted that link on my facebook for everyone to see, saying: "OH MY EFFING GOD! PRE-ORDERED!!!" Almost half my friends watch anime and we all try to keep up with the current ones. I try hard to convince them to watch the ones Im totally into: Ano Hana, Hanasaku Iroha, Bakemonogatari, Amagami etc. And Im prolly only have succesfull =/ Heck, even my ex gf of 3 years knows that Im into anime and shes totally fine with it. I let her know that I LOVE IKA MUSUME!!! And she just goes with it and teases me "enjoy your squid girl =D". Just stuff like that, and they're all very accepting of it. No shame, be proud, its you. I love anime. Edit for clarification: My facebook friends consists of people from my classes, work, etc, even friends of friends who I dont know that added me. | ||

Maybe next time you will click the recommendation chart at the top of the page like you are supposed to do when coming here for recommendations, so we won't have to troll you. Because if you don't click the link for the recommendation chart, THIS might as well be what the recommendation chart is for you. | ||

I'm not trying to brag here, just coming here for advice. I'm sorry if I upset you though. It's just that I'm not really a social guy and am trying to break out of my shell and trying to reestablish friendships with people are stopped talking too, and she's one of them. Sincerely, I don't care if I'm friend-zoned, as a long as I have good friends I'm fine. On November 20 2011 13:54 Sentenal wrote: As one of the people who recommended you School Days, LOL.

No one admits to watching hentai (they act disgusted by it) but I'm certain most of them are faking it. So, so fake. | ||

And if your girlfriend can't accept your anime otaku-ish side... then that's a bit of a control freak and there may be future compromising issues. You have your hobbies, she has hers. It's whatevers. | ||

 Usually answer is like "I watched DBZ and it's rediculous, anime = shit". Then I suggest some deep anime like Petite Cossette, hah! Also not hiding your anime/manga windows (on computer) when on(in?) public, may get you some new friends who are interested in anime. "Oh you are reading that! That's pretty good." e: also even when my friend on class hates anime and he knew me as otaku person first (i'm not otaku) we instantly became friendly to each other. Aka people, atleast teenagers here, don't hate/judge others here for strange hobbies or activetets. Even runescape is OK even when others despise it. | ||

Anyway, I've been out of this thread for about a week since Skyrim came out. I can't be arsed to catch up >.< + Show Spoiler [Fate/Zero - 8] + Absolutely stunning. I really enjoyed it when Iri stood up to fight against Kirei (but then ended up getting destroyed). Saber's relationship with Kiritsugu is interesting to see play out. I'm expecting more internal sabotage. Also, Kayneth is a nub. + Show Spoiler [Shana - 7] + Yuji's face looks reeeally weird for about half the episode. I love it when Hecate talks. She seems much less like a tool as portrayed in the second season. Go Hecate :3 + Show Spoiler [Guilty Crown - 6] + Inori is so overpowered. Nerf Inori, please. That's all I have to say. I still haven't caught up on Ben-To, Mirai Nikki, or Horizon. C^3 isn't until after MLG D: | ||

And so I asked them what animes they like, but they only like really mainstream stuff -_- my thoughts were "I should shutup about what I really like :x" On November 20 2011 02:48 Retgery wrote: Angry rant about "School Days" + Show Spoiler + You guys are assholes.
