I'm glad anime continues to justify peoples stereotypical belief in it.
broar listen
you see this post and you want to defend Keijo. I looked it up and it is about an anime where women try to knock each other off gladiator pedastals with their tits and/or ass. Don't.
Its funny cause its played 100% straight, its parody of Sports anime which is a genre I like very much.

That does sound absolutely indefensible.
It cannot be defended that a real gameshow has not been made of it yet.
Huh, apparently my two storage drives were both 7200 and my new double size one is 5400. Just for storage of movies and photos and shit though so should be fine. SSD for gaming.
Now to move 1tb of data from the dying one (I hope it's the right one oh god) to the new one yay

I accidentally spoiled the ending to Inglourious Basterds to a work friend.
is that the anime about women hitting each other with their butts?
hey come on now
sometimes they hit each other with their tits
I cannot tell if this is a joke or not.
Nope
The series is set in an alternate reality where a new, women-only, gambling sport known as "keijo", quickly becomes a fad in Japan since its introduction in the dawn of the 21st century. Keijo matches are held atop floating platforms, referred to as a "Land", in large water-filled stadiums where swimsuit-clad players fight to incapacitate their opponents or push them out to the water, but they can only hit each other using their breasts or buttocks.
This is getting into math shit but how much would say 2 1 pint containers of Ice Cream be melted if I walked 20 minutes from grocery store to home in like 70 degree heat?

Look at the photo on the previous page. You know your answer.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.
you created an anime so shamelessly pervy even you wouldn't watch it
life's a game that you're bound to lose / like using a hammer to pound in screws
fuck up once and you break your thumb / if you're happy at all then you're god damn dumb
that's right we're on a fucked up cruise / God is dead but at least we have booze
bad things happen, no one knows why / the sun burns out and everyone dies

Both kind of, like its played as a 100% straight shounen anime, its not a gag anime.
Is it silly and cheesy yeah, but it never comes off as exploitative imo.

@Havelock2.0 I found this from this morning and I was meaning to address it
But then I read about all the twists, twists that would make M Night Shyamalan blow his load and
I can't guys
I just can't
So like okay, here's the thing: you...don't have to?
Comics are, to some extent, a monthly magazine business. they have the advantages and disadvantages that come with that: they can be topical and relevant with relatively little turnaround time (I mean, six weeks is an eternity in internet time now but it's not actually that long in real-life terms and still way faster than movies, games etc) but they also suffer the pressure of deadlines and having to create a lot of content quickly and that content isn't always as polished or well-thought-out as it could be in an ideal world. Creators get sick and books run late, or people quit or are fired so stories are left hanging unresolved. There are real-world pressures to juice up sales with big event stories and ~shocking twists~.
The end result is that there are a lot of stories of varying quality. Some terrific, some indifferent, and some terrible. But this stuff isn't, like...it doesn't matter the way people (particularly hardcore nerds from other mediums) expect it to matter. CANON is not some iron god. The good stuff will get picked up by other creative people and riffed on and then sometimes their work will be taken back by the source material and recontextualized in turn. (Did you know that like half the details of Superman's origin, including the names of his parents, were invented, not in the comic books, but in the daily newspaper comic strip and the radio show? The radio writers, more experienced than the two teenaged Jewish kids from Cleveland who came up with Superman, realized that people might wonder about what his planet was like and what kind of people his biological parents were. So it goes.)
The indifferent and bad stuff will fade away - or, excitngly, someone will see value in it that nobody else did and end up doing something fantastic with the basic idea. In the mid-1990s, there was a six-month period in the Superman comics where Superman had, because of some kind of accident, been turned into a being of pure energy, so he had a different costume (with blue skin) and different, energy-based powers. The stories were uninspired but at the same time this was happening, the great writer Grant Morrison was doing the monthly Justice League comic. If left to his own devices he probably wouldn't have done a blue electric Superman, but he had to keep pace with what was going on in the rest of his company's magazines, so one month Superman in the JLA comic is suddenly blue. And Morrison did fantastic things with him. While the regular Superman comics were telling a dull soap opera about oh NO my skin is BLUE Morrison figured out a bunch of cool things you could do if you could control light and electricity and it led to some of the very best moments in his comic! He took that straw and spun it into gold.
(This, incidentally, reinforces something I firmly believe, which is that the "quality" of an idea is waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay less important than the execution, which is something that it's easy to forget if you're just letting the Internet - noted bastion of reasonableness and accuracy - sum things up for you. "Captain America is a secret Nazi," the story that this conversation was originally happening in the context of, could potentially be an interesting story - the problem is just that it's not, and also apparently the writer is apparently a chodelord.)
This is all a long-winded way of saying that superhero comics are an enterprise composed of an ongoing creative conversation between the artists and writers of today and the artists and writers of yesterday who influenced them. People come up with ideas, try them out, remix them, discard them, and so forth.
But the upshot for you as a reader is that you aren't required to engage with any of that! You can just read the good shit! It's fine! I don't know where this idea comes from that getting into, say, Batman comics means that you must personally take on the mantle of understanding, with Talmudic detail, every single Batman story in every medium in the 75-year history of Batman. You can just find a list of good Batman stories and you'll have literally enough material to keep you occupied for months without ever needing to be aware of, I don't know, Detective Comics #621 from September 1994. If it super bothers you that there was a dumb story about a character one time - I dunno. You do you, ultimately, but I see it as, like, there are shitty covers of songs I like out there in the world, but they don't meaningfully detract from what I enjoy.
