@truthtellah: So the real question here is: When or how are we getting all of them to watch Accel World/Sword Art Online? ;)

ha. Uh, they would need to ease into things. Not sure either of those would ever be on the agenda, but I guess there's always the chance.

Alright so on a more serious note, what would you start with? JP track assumed, no Jojo/Fist of the North Star ect. Released within lets say the last four or five years.

Angel Beats? Fate/Zero?

"monkey features"

uuuuuuhhhhhhhh......

Not to defend the OP, as they seem like the type of person(spambot?) who make a potentially heated thread and just split for some weird reason, but...

They were saying that the features of those robots in Transformers 2 were monkey-like, similar to racist caricatures of black people, not of black people themselves.

Ah ok, I haven't watched the movies since T1. If that's the case then it's a bit more understandable. It just seemed like a weirdly detached comment in an otherwise kind of thought-out post lol.

They have a lot of premium podcasts if you are into wrestling, Formula 1 and movies. Otherwise it's not worth it if the video side of thing is just background noise.

Giant Bomb should really get a premium Anime podcast. Just them sharing their thoughts on the latest series.

Except for the part where not a single person on the site actually respects what anime is, and the person who is exposed to the most of it (Patrick) actively resents it's more risque elements. So what, you want a podcast where they spend a half-hour shitting on anime?

I don't think they'd just ridicule it. They'd fumble around a bit while Jason tells em how it is. And judging by Patrick's past with being exposed more to something he doesn't quite understand, I think he'd come around to appreciating anime. I was mostly joking with the suggestion, but it could still be quite interesting and fun if they did it. :)

Every time an anime game gets put in front of them they ridicule it, much the same way they ridicule sports games. Jeff actually makes sense in his disdain for it (and his possible obsession with Miku), considering he's color blind and I can perfectly understand how that might be irritating, when the medium makes use of a much wider color palette then video games (which are either brown or gray) or even real life (which is kind of dull). I can't imagine watching something like No Game, No Life while being color blind, that'd be the worst lol.

Like I said before, I don't think Patrick would ever come around to animes more risque elements, you have to enjoy or at the very least be able to understand/put up with/embrace that stuff, or you just kind of wind up in this weird spot where you hate 80% of anime because it has "too much fanservice", which Patrick was already kind of bitching about Danganronpa. With him being heavily SJW and feminist oriented, he's likely to just write it off as a lot of misogyny or whatever.

Also has Jason actually been in a quicklook yet? I've been very touchy about the quicklooks I watch lately since I ignore most of the ones that don't come out of Beast since a lot of them lately have had Dan in them, and I just feel like once Dan is in a quicklook it's not worth watching because I don't find Dan's specific brand of commentary (humor? Does he actually try to be funny?) appealing.

I wasn't sure about Dan at first, but he has grown on me as I've gotten to see more of him. Some great moments lately thanks to him. And as far as Patrick, I don't believe that represents Patrick at all.

All I know is, he used to be down on many Japanese games due to preconceptions, but he gave them more of a shot and ended up getting into games like Dark Souls, Monster Hunter, and Fire Emblem. I think a similar change of heart may come if he gave anime a chance. There are plenty of anime which don't have a ton of fanservice, and there are even some which use fanservice as a meaningful part of the story. With the right suggestions, he could easily enjoy a great deal of anime, from movies to whole series.

Patrick isn't even likely to be on such a hypothetical podcast anyway, but if he was, I think he'd bring a cool angle to it. Jeff, Brad, Jason, Dan, and maybe even Rorie could probably have a good time with it.

I guess it's possible if you got Patrick into the right stuff.

Also I figured since this was purely hypothetical may as well include the whole crew as possibilities for the hell of it lol.

I honestly don't know enough about Dan to say one way or the other, and I know actually nothing about Jason, is he actually into anime beyond western animation like Avatar and Kora?

Jeff I still say wouldn't go for it, Brad maybe,and Rorie I think could actually be pretty amused by it. And like I said, hypothetical, so whole crew: Vinny yes, Alex maybe. Alex likes movies, and anime are just a longer form of mature story telling, so I think he could see the value in it.

the back catalog is great, you should check it out if you get premium. And it seems there are new features in the way. So well worth the investment.

Yeah I got a membership. Im happy with purchase already.

Also I understand you were joking, I just have/had nothing better to do then think about this while typing it out in my head, I'm not trying to argue with you or anything, just turned it into more of a though process/conversation lol.

Hmm well over the next few months my intended buying is:

  1. Sword Art Online Hollow Fragment
  2. Hotaru no Nikki
  3. The Sims 4
  4. Grand Theft Auto V PC (I already own the PS3 version).

That is a 400% increase on the amount of games I've bought the entire rest of the year so far (not Including Mugen Souls Z which I basically got for free).

Meh, I find the art on the cards of games like this and Magic super ugly and boring. I'd give it a shot if they looked like Wixoss or Sword Girls or something.
