    This is me being bitchy.

    bitching about aoi no hana spoilers
    so people are talking about how it's obviously lesbians and look at the OP! duh pika! but no, they're showing the achan as someone interested at boys but hey I already know what's going to happen since everyone said duh of course they're lesbians because we read the manga and duh look at the OP

    What are you talking about? I recall that the spoiler you objected to had to do with Fumi and didn't concern A-chan at all. Your point about A-chan still doesn't affect that since from the very first episode
    we learn that Fumi may harbor feelings toward A-chan. The attraction is there and is part of the premise of the show. Whether that is enough to overcome A-chan's default heterosexuality is up to the author to develop.
    Are you really complaining that the Aoi Hana OP, the being clearly in the yuri genre, and the show's premise of slice-of-life lesbianism is misleading because not all the characters are lesbians and therefore the sexuality of one character affects what I said about the sexuality or behavior of the main character?

    I really don't understand why you took so much pride in being completely ignorant about the basic premise of a show. I certainly like to avoid shows that involve: mecha, harem, shounen, fanservice, and all sorts of things I don't like watching. Additionally there are certain genres and plots that I gravitate towards and I certainly would like to find out what those shows are. You can't be so indiscriminate in your viewing habits that you'll swallow down anything recommended for you.

    Moreover my alleged spoiler is really only a spoiler if you had knowledge of the basic premise of the show. On it's own the phrase "Fumi is very very gay" can either be a comment on her sexuality or simply a description of her behaviour (it was both). Using Strike-Witches as an example, "Miyafuji is very very gay," of course refers to
    her penchant for fondling breasts
    rather than a comment on her sexuality.

    Edit: Taco, not whoever you guys are talking about
    And I was being ironical, I mean she literally loves tacos. She's also the most hetero female.

    I think a lot of people can't get past the rampant fan service of the first episode (and the fact that it has a cliche "club doesn't have enough members" plot). It just gets crazier and funnier as it goes along.

    I'm not sure how the main character can hang any more after some of this stuff they've come up with. Her "special ability" was pretty interesting in the first few episodes, but now it seems positively mundane.

    Is Red Garden any good? It's on sale at Best Buy, but I hated Gantz.

    Mediocre with some strange choices in execution but in my opinion better than Gantz. It goes more for psychological horror than gratuitous gore. A few scenes featuring the girls' desperation and fear are very well done and are quite intense. Then it all falls to shit when they introduce the big bad corporate cult conspiracy like anime often does and fails miserably at doing. It's quirky, which I liked, but not enough to save the show from mediocrity. Features: an amusing approximation of "America"; fashionable clothing; skinny anorexics; interesting noses; and a tendency for the characters to burst into song.

    Song?

    IS IT A MUSICAL?

    No, they just like sing this song randomly. Note that the voice actresses aren't the best singers and the song is actually quite bad. It works kind of like "All along the Watchtowers" does in Battlestar Galactica, except it's not used in Red Garden to very great effect at all.

    Didn't something like that happen in one episode of a show about a guy with an evil arm taking care of a little girl?

    Your previous post is like the "Bad" category, saying "poor [name]" right next to the tag is contradicting the fourth example, and saying who is what sexual orientation is a contradiction of the third example.

    Caught up with Saki, one thing:
    Man it sucks to be Kyoutaro, the token dude. They tell him straight up he's completely untalented and of no use, the team is entered in an all female tournament, all he does is fetch stuff and ask dumb questions for exposition, and he's hot for someone who he has NO shot with, on top of being stranded in the estrogen ocean of heavily implied lesbians, and the only play he could possibly get is from the literal taco muncher, in an ironic twist.

    I hope he gets more to do besides carry heavy things. God, it sucks to be him.
    Well, he is quite shit. I mean, it's true. Even Tacos can kick his ass. Tacos.

    At least he gets lots of eye-candy, even if none of it is interested in him except for, once again, Tacos.
