Why would u need to read the sources to bash?
Because putting me down makes Ecael feel better about himself and makes him feel valid. And because Ecael likes to read series that he "hates."
And Blasty, don't entertain Sentenal. He doesn't understand C^3, and is too dumb to realize that people can actually like it for the story.
Honestly, C^3 isn't terrible. The story is decently coherent and actually makes sense in the universe itself. Like, even if someone doesn't like the plot, you have to give C^3 credit for being able to make sense.
Shana, on the other hand, doesn't make a lick of sense with a bunch of random names that we don't care about and a bunch of powers that we haven't heard about before, regardless if it's good or not.

Whats there to understand? You yourself admitted you only watch it for the loli. The only thing people who watch it ever talk about is the loli and various perverted things that happen with her in each episode.

so he can bash as intelligently as possible
You just have to read what people say in spoilers about C^3 to bash it effectively. Like, here are some things that people have said about the most recent episode: "That bondage scene went a bit further than one would think it would go." "The same moe slapstick comedy to float and then the bondage shit." "So like are the straps on her a constant masturbation tool?"
And then we get Ferrose: "Actually the plot is getting deeper in every episode." into "C^3 has Fear-chan so it's k." He watches C^3 for the PLOT. Not fooling anyone lol
Well he was refering to me as well in that post. If people were going to bash me, i prefer them to do it in the most intelligent and elegant manner as possible, one that defeats me utterly so I can see the errors of my ways
Is it just me or does that kid look like Kokutou Mikiya?
He does, but Mikiya kinda just looks like a generic glasses wearing male with that kind of hair style
Which brings me to think Kokutou Azaka vs Tousaka Rin, who would win?
Power-wise Rin would win pretty easily I think. But I'd still be rooting for Azaka =3 Anyone got any ideas for anime similar to 5cm/s? Kinda looking for anime that make you stop and think about life for a second.
Also read some manga during the weekend Kimi Iru Machi + Show Spoiler +
Pretty nice as far as romance goes. Honestly I didn't want Eba back :< but since it followed the typical love story it was fated to happen. I also think the author is pushing it a bit too far. Could have ended it already, instead of adding more new twists and drama. But I guess that's the charm of it.
TBH I was more interested in the rivalry of the 2 running guys. Too bad the manga never really developed that fully. It rushed the romance plot and then it ended. I guess that's what I get for looking for non-love rivalry in a romance manga. Also the flow of the story was predictable. The twists were pretty easy to foresee and not really a surprise. But I guess for a romance manga it was good.

Which brings me to think Kokutou Azaka vs Tousaka Rin, who would win? of course 1 v 1 Rin can't use Archer =P + Show Spoiler +
Let's see: a genius level magus with a family crest spanning generations of research who is also backed by Zelretch vs a no-name who can't even control her magic that well without an amplifying glove. How is this even a contest? -_-
She did pretty well against the faeries and her master is Toko so I think It won't be that easy
Because Rin is on par a fairy right. And Azaka's not even a magus. She has a total of one ability, which isn't even that good to begin with. Having Touko as a master basically doesn't matter at all. Rin is one of the most talented mages in existence. It's like comparing a peashooter to a nuke.
But don't you remember how flashy her fight was in KnK?!!?11!?!
But yeah, Rin would stomp her. Proto-Akiha is a no-name compared to Rin lol.
I dunno why he's even picked Azaka in the first place lol. As far as power levels go, hers is one of the lowest in the entire Nasuverse. If he was gonna compare random tsunderes, he should've picked Akiha since any fight with her basically boils down to trigger speed.
Honestly I think Akiha would stomp Rin. When she went Vermillion in the VN, it just made her sound so crazy, like she shot eye lasers and crapped out lightning bolts
Even if you like the plot, that episode was pure service. There was one scene of plot development and the realization/cliffhanger into the next episode at the end, but the episode was dominated by the bondage scene, which if anything, should be disappointing if it's the plot that you care about and not the gratuitous service.

Spoilers please. I haven't watched it yet.
skip to the last 2 mins thats the meaningful part. I shit you not.
is what i'd like to say but then I got bored after 1 route and DL'ed the CG pack save then read the synopsis for the rest.
well not like you can miss much in an otome game but I am curious what the CGs with the maids are about. Some yuri or are they traps? Or just nothing of that sort?

Meh..finally got around to watch Unicorn. First episode was pretty meh. I can see the big budget but the usual pretend-grandiose bits are still everywhere. Shit just happens so shit can happen leads to other shit happening. So I guess very gundam like, turning off brain just enjoy the robots flying around I suppose.

...Wah? What do you mean "pretend-grandiose"? "Shit just happens so shit can happen leads to other shit happening"? Congratulations, you just described every anime ever that has a plot. I don't even understand how you could say that Unicorn is a show where you turn your brain off and watch.

Definitely knew that you would be the first to reply to his post, Sentenal the Sentenal of Mecha. see what I did there?
Unicorn is actually pretty good. The animations are close to perfect, the plot mostly makes sense, and you kind of do need to think. Not sure why you're talking about turning your brain off. I can't wait for the next couple of episodes whenever they come out.
So, the power level of mech just fluctuates because...it's about 'show this one for 3 sec because that's enough to sell the 50k bandai's going to produce' and show that other one doing stupid maneuvers for 20 min because it will sell 2 million? Cool beans Kshatriya uses funnels, and uses it every now and then until it decides to do some light saber action with a frigging grunt. The equivalent in B grade TV is when Hercules would decides to do a 360 then 180 degree spin and blocks the incoming blow, that was full frontal, with his back against the attacker. Yep. The point is the fights has zero suspense because the mechs just there going through motions (Char's counter attack does this WAY better), you'll bet Kshatriya will blow up not because it is outmatched but because the director says it's time to advance the plot. Had a laugh with the airbags though. They are 5-star crash rated!
Is Gundam also some elitist propaganda or what? Every character is some princess/offspring of some family because you know, to show worlds colliding you need these big-shots-from-birth to symbolize the fractions. Pretend-grandoise - starts with a speech within the first 5 min, ends with a long speech about nothingness. I guess part of the new-type ability is to be at the right place at the right time with everything handed on a platter.
