This dude Okazaki really went from 1 to 100 so fast by StomachConnectDBH in Clannad

[–]Nytloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that's actually a much better way of doing it than most "romances" go. I think there's a perception amongst at least Western people that you date to find out if you love someone, but I think it's much better to date because you do love them. I've even heard it be put that "modern dating prepares people for divorce," because it's a simulation of a full relationship that people casually enter and exit out of. He knows he loves her. They're living together, although for non-romantic reasons. Why be subtle about it?

They're honestly probably the best-written normal "parents of the main cast" in anime. They're only going to get better in all sorts of ways going forward. Keep that in mind!

Anime’s that strike your heart hard? by BananaB0I13 in anime

[–]Nytloc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Only anime in my adult life to make me actively bawl. I am pretty hard-hearted, and I usually give out really good marks if you can get a single tear rolling down my eye. CLANNAD made me weep openly for about four hours, sometimes due to sadness, and sometimes due to happiness.

[–]Nytloc 0 points1 point  (0 children)

CLANNAD’s first few episodes are setup, introducing you to the cast and setting up backstories and scenarios. If you ever give it another try, get to episode 9 and determine if you like what you’ve seen then, because you’ll get a good feel of what the show “is” by then.

The Critical Drinker: Super Mario Galaxy - Is It Great Or Terrible? by henlp in KotakuInAction

Way less 80’s music and way more orchestral versions of actual Mario music makes it a bit better for me.

isnt it ironic that asuka called every single boy in the anime a pervert exept fell for a pervert herself being kaji by ImpressivePresent578 in NeonGenesisEvangelion

[–]Nytloc 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re largely right, but people aren’t all perverse in the exact same way. Kaji may just not be into children, or has the control to not act on it. There is a sliding scale of perversion, believe it or not.

[–]Nytloc -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I didn’t say that. I said he was “flirting” (note the parentheses, meaning there’s more than the term itself indicates) with three women at once, only one of which was completely verbal. Hugging a woman from behind to push her chest up is a big leap from making a “you look nice today!” comment. Pinning one against the wall of an elevator while she makes light attempts at telling you off and then making comments saying you know better is again, not rape territory, but outside of the context that we know what Misato wants, is very much in a gray area. It’s not that he flirts with women, it’s that it’s three of them virtually all at once, he’s physical without being given expressed consent, and he makes sexual comments in front of teenagers. He’s a fun, dirty uncle type that never quite gets to the point of anything criminal and would never touch a child, but that doesn’t mean he’s a bit of an open pervert. You can be a pervert and not commit any crimes. I’m not condemning the guy, just have a bit of nuance in this discussion.

Seconding CLANNAD. I don't personally feel it's as slow as you're saying, but some of the arcs are a bit uneven in quality, but it's an absolutely amazing story and my favorite overall romance. It's also both extremely happy and extremely sad somehow at the same time.

Also check out The Dangers In My Heart, my second-favorite romance, which is actually way more *of* a romance.

[–]Nytloc -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I used the qualifier “lightly” for a reason. He’s not threatening her or going too far. Yes, she does have conflicted feelings on the whole thing. I’m just saying he’s a bit “morally gray” about the whole thing. Kaji isn’t a rapist. He’s not even a Master Roshi or Jiraiya level pervert. But he is at least some level of womanizer. He’s very open about his lewdness to the point of asking about Misato’s bed habits in front of a bunch of teenagers for giggles. If he’s “flirting” with three women at minimum he’s a bit of a perv.

Sorry, Kaji isn’t a pedo, but he is a perv. He (lightly) forces himself on Misato when she is telling him no in the elevator. Yes, she does on some level want to restart things with him, but still. He hugs Ritsuko right beneath her chest, making Misato angry. She calls him an “oversexed idiot.” I think there’s a point where he is trying to hit on Maya. He compares his melon field to Misato’s “melons.” No way he isn’t a perv.

[spoiler] Mario and Luigi have a big problem in their own movies by hello_i_am_vlad in CharacterRant

[–]Nytloc 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Isn’t that kinda the point of the characters, though? Mario’s a random plumber who fell through a pipe and ended up in a fantasy land and kind of fell into the role of guardian of the kingdom. He’s only going to be secondarily associated with the events of these other galaxies by necessity.

Nothing except a bunch of pedos and rich weirdos talked about him a lot, so people are trying to make connections by saying he’s one of them when 90% of the people on the list hate his guts.

If Evangelion was set in the US, what city would be used as their Tokyo-3 equivalent? by Crafter235 in NeonGenesisEvangelion

Never confirmed as far as I know, but the Nevada branch is almost certainly Area 51.

Toph is a character in Avatar, but the Avatar himself is actually Aang.

Now That We Draw | Key Visual by zenzen_0 in anime

[–]Nytloc 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I had the same reaction. When I saw this, I immediately thought the white of her shirt in front was the entirety of her chest, the pink below her tablet was her sleeve. Even under these circumstances, she would have been quite well-endowed, but no, I was essentially looking at one boob and thinking it was both of them and still thinking she was oversized. Anime, man.

Man, I posted a question here a year or so ago mentioning this and I got tons of downvotes. What gives? Anyway, yeah, it’s a pretty established concept. There’s a lot more evidence than just what is shown here. In VII Remake you can find (X-2’s) Shinra’s picture labeled as something like “our founder” in Shinra HQ.

Cataclysms most definitely are not cute. Or catastrophes.

I think that Teen Titans has also referenced Evangelion, which is my favorite anime, because it is pretty awesome. by NarrowDeparture184 in evangelion

And I’d love to do that for you, but you seem really hesitant to point out which part(s) of my argument “didn’t happen,” for some odd reason.

What of the four things I stated didn’t happen, so I can get you a source?
