First Shana ending is the only thing I still care about from the show (having dropped it early into season 2 out of sheer unequivocal rage). The hymn at the beginning and then the brilliant multi-singer soul intro is perfect. I usually stop listening at that point just so that the weird 80s techno doesn’t ruin my awesome soul intro.
YOU ARE YOU! SHOUJO *SOME OTHER MOON WORD*!

“how is the show so popular?”

You came up with four very well thought-out reasons (mainly that one about the dinosaurs. A brilliant deduction), but I think the rather obvious reason for Shana’s popularity is that people are terrible at recognizing when something is complete shit. Though I guess that’s being a bit harsh, as Shana does have some things going for it, but in the face of awful writing, bland characters, and poor animation, it doesn’t mean much.

And then there’s people like me who have no connection to the videogame/light novel industry in relation to anime. So maybe I can look at anime more “objectively”? Maybe I can

Oh, and that’s the ED? I thought that was the OP, I’m talking about the song, well at least I like “Hishoku no Sora” a lot. A lot a lot.

Baka-Raptor’s holy name has to be sent to the moon!

Some people at NASA are putting all the names that people insert there to a chip and placing it to some spacecraft thats going to collect some data to the moon. This is totally an unique opportunity to let the holy name of Baka-Raptor fly to the moon!

How dare you speak such blasphemy!! All… 2? 3? citizens of the Dominion of Baka Raptor (heretoforth referred to as DOBAR) would gladly ingest a lethal coctail of barbiturates, succinate, and potassium pills at the very whim of the overlord, should he so desire it!

I rather found your delving into journalistic territories refreshing and insightful. You shouldn’t be afraid of alienating people now and then for the sake of self-expression, especially when you don’t yet have a small legeion that would commit mass-suicide if you did, unlike Maddox.

Your ‘verbose philosophical bullshit’ was quite possibly the best part of this whole post. It was very educational and informative. I will no longer hesitate to brandish my revolver and shoot at random strangers while on the subway, ever again.

“The Harry Potter/Lord of the Rings assholes keep bitching about every subtle difference between the book and the movie.”

Aww, I’m one of them … but I don’t diss the Lord of the Rings because I think the movie is great — Well done Peter Jackson!

I haven’t read the entirety of the case (I’ve no intention of being a lawyer), but I think that was a good verdict towards Goetz. I’m sure that he has had a difficulty with having been robbed before, and so I believe it was perfectly justifiable that he did those things because he felt threatened. I’d feel threatened too.

Anyway, yeah, this totally sidetracked your post, but I was just surprised with the amount of awesome thought-provoking stuff you just wrote (notwithstanding the dinosaurs and lesbians).

Going back, I really thought I should have laughed at the succeeding paragraphs, but like a spectre the case percolated in my thoughts more than the actual post itself. I’m not saying that’s bad, mind you.
