    This and a majority of the fanbase being either to young or too ignorant to understand the actual history to understand the hate towards the show.

    also those people in my American history class group in high school who said of the people being brought off the concentration camp trains:

    "...Like, why didn't they do something. There were, like, so many of them and only a few guards."

    or

    "If I was Sophie, I would have chosen real quick."

    I remember there actually being a debate at a con once as to whether or not wearing a Nazi/SS/Wehrmacht uniform was acceptable. And two arguments put forth as to why it was okay were: "Japan does it" and "That happened so long ago, get over it"

    The following year there was an uptick in Inglorious Bastards cosplay.

    Well to be fair, deep non-sexual friendships between men have existed since ancient times. David and Jonathan in the Old Testament is a famous example. I don't think there was really one word for it until someone invented "bromance", though.

    The funimation summaries for Baccano! episodes are also rather brilliant.

    If only because they are extremely cryptic and only make sense when you watch the episode.

    Tenchi's valiant efforts to scare the monster with his prepubescent voice and tiny ponytail somehow fail. Luckily, Tenchi's dad swears he will destroy the evil monster! His secret weapon is a tiny toy arrow reading "Traffic Safety." One shot on the forehead and the monster is destroyed. You think I'm joking, but I'm not. That's what really happened. I'm sorry. Dear God, I'm so sorry.

    I remembered it. Years ago, all of those Tenchi in Tokyo reviews from raam were compiled on a website, one that's since gone offline. But with the topic drifting back to descriptions of what happens in anime, I suddenly recalled those reviews, as well as one specific phrase from it, "smart in her brain!" So I did a Google Groups search on that and there it was.

    And the toy arrow defeating the monster was [vidurl=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7a3uWaANhak#t=7m30s]one of the particularly goofy moments[/vidurl] of a goofy episode.
