No surprises, only cynicism and incompetence.

If you get this, you are a colossal nerd.

Woah, that goes beyond Nerd status there. That's straight up Weeaboo, no chance of parole. That way lies loneliness forever.

I got H!

And that was it.

I am so glad that I could identify less than ten of them.

Brentai · « **Reply #345 on:** November 16, 2010, 10:01:41 PM »

I.. most of those are not that obscure, okay?

Mongrel · « **Reply #346 on:** November 17, 2010, 06:13:35 AM »

I think I got six though I recognized two or three more without knowing what character they were.

~~Come on, any of you guys who says they've never heard of Sailor Moon, EVA, or Harahui is a liar. Maybe somewhere else, sure, but on THIS board? Really?~~

Methinks the brontos doth protest too much.

I feel like I could "do better" if I sat down and went through systematically instead of letting the melange obscure everything... but down that path lies madness.

I am a little sad that they didn't keep the symbol for Ununbium intact.

The brontoforums has an encyclopedic knowledge of D&D, 80's cartoons, old video games, World of Warcraft, bands nobody's heard of and who knows whatall else that the average person doesn't give a crispy about, but anime? Oh no way man that's for nerrrrrrrds.

Oh come now, you know why we really object to anime.

Büge · « **Reply #350 on:** November 17, 2010, 12:45:00 PM »

do tell

Classic · « **Reply #351 on:** November 17, 2010, 01:37:02 PM »

Fuck! I was hoping to trick him into telling us. I've got no clue!

My best guess is that it got popular and we're tremendously elitist and/or pretentious.

That, and the backlog of creative product has been mostly drained and our tolerance for repetition in static media has been dramatically reduced.

We get excited for, and are entertained by, perhaps one production every year. This is very different from the rabid enthusiasm I had for Japanese media a decade and a half ago and looking back on that it's a little embarrassing.

EDIT:
Now that I think about it, I think I stole the bold part verbatim from someone else on the old boards.

Anime is like drugs. If you can enjoy it in a reasonable amount on your own time and have it not effect your life good for you. More often than not though it turns you into a rambling moron that forgets how to discuss anything but that topic, forgets to bathe and is generally not someone you want around.

At least that's why I'm not open about my use of ~~drugs~~ anime.

I just remember at LEAST half the longtime membership being terrible weeaboos when I first joined pyo-

At least I didn't recognise more than fifty.

Hm.
I wonder if I've said any of those before.

Classic · « **Reply #357 on:** November 18, 2010, 07:34:19 PM »

Oooh. I'm already in shit. On page 2, I've said "BET is racist" non-ironically. But... I meant it was racist against black people. Maybe that mitigates the shallowness of the comment?

OK, I got to page 9, and today at the bottom is this gem...
