Apparently; because those fanboys love it when miserable office guys get guns and fists shoved into their heads. Thereby becoming more miserable.
Oh, and by the way: Cute and dutiful robots (”WALL*E”) have handed the a$$ back to a$$-kicking a$$a$ins (”Wanted”). Seems that not everybody in the US enjoys masochism. :P

this is shitty news
July 19th, 2008 at 5:22 pm
I DON’T WATCH shitty shows.
I’m one of those people who can spot shitty shows 3 miles away and can already tell that it’s going to suck. The last GOOD harem show worth its salt was El Hazard.
(I heard that the animu fandom doesn’t like when the “shitty” plot gets in the way of their beloved delicious body parts and fanservice. Thank you oh so much, Aika Sumeragi.)

Wit: I might have, but not anymore.
Really though. Grow up.
July 19th, 2008 at 11:07 pm
good stuff, can’t wait. can’t wait for my school rumble 3. and holic season two is way too short, needs a season 3.
July 20th, 2008 at 7:52 am
Thanks for reading my blog, Wit.
Also: People are suffering in Zimbabwe under Ugabe.
And. Here’s a question for you: If someone points a live gun to your head, would you crap in your pants? Or would you act like a tough guy before parts of your body get blasted off you. (This is important, now. The way you answer it will put your own credibility on the line.)
Finally: Sheeple.

Aw. It was getting good, he had Tyrenol backed up in a corner. Which, uh, isn’t HARD, but.
July 20th, 2008 at 9:20 am
Uh oh. The “Canned Dog” shows its fangs. I’ll shut up now.
July 20th, 2008 at 6:21 pm
No, don’t shut up. The fun has already started!
July 20th, 2008 at 6:30 pm
Wow, there are some angry people responding.
I’m just happy to hear this is getting a third season.
July 20th, 2008 at 8:50 pm
surprised to see how fucked up your tastes are
Go back to your pedobear sickos
July 21st, 2008 at 10:09 am
Perhaps, we should leave the memes on the board you fucking gaiafags.
July 22nd, 2008 at 4:34 pm
YAY!!
I was waiting for a third season =) thx

I find it sad whenever people claim that their inability to appreciate certain things is an advantage or some sort of superior character quality. They often say that they “have high standards,” but usually they’re just covering up a weakness. Being unable to digest common lowly potatoes is a physical weakness, likewise being unable to appreciate common lowbrow entertainment is a psychological weakness.
The healthiest, strongest minds are those that can derive positive mental effects from as many different things as possible. They have an active predatory mentality towards media; they can and do thrive on anything, both the highbrow and lowbrow. Their memetic world is a endless feast.
The weakest, frailest minds are those that are easily disgusted and disturbed by common things. They are stuck in a reactionary prey mentality, constantly fleeing from perceived threats and scrabbling desperately for the rare scraps that won’t upset their delicate fragile egos. Their memetic world is a crushing famine.
The strong, superior mind can appreciate every kind of media, from the unbridled bawdiness of Agent Aika, to the sheer cinematic virtuosity of Kenneth Branagh’s masterful 19th-century adaptation of Hamlet. To be unable to appreciate the lowbrow is a weakness, no different than the inability to appreciate the highbrow.

Tyrenol doesn’t actually have high standards, it just has to be ruthlessly misogynistic.
July 23rd, 2008 at 11:47 am
Wow, pkick. Just wow. I mean… High standards.
Hey, I have a better idea: Why don’t we all live like cockroaches.
Let’s all get fat and ugly, no sort of personal hygiene ever. Let’s all drain money from our parents and the blatant adds we put on our webpages. Let’s all live in some dingy, smelly, unclean part of someone else’s house; promote “delicious body parts” of the latest pro-moe, pro-otaku animu; and lash out, with reverse logic, anyone who dares try to rain down on their happy little cockroach world.
All whilst the mind and body slowly decays; or some great catastrophe happens and you’re instantly killed due to the inability to move fast enough.
I have high standards. I eat french fries. I thought everything after Agent Aika was overkill (yet I consider “Lingeries,” created by the same creators, was pure gold). I believe that the only good pedophile is one used for target practice. Yet I think Strike Witches is a passing show. You can call me a hypocrite if you wanna insult me.
But to say that people shouldn’t have high standards is like saying that animu fans should not have animu. It sounds more like idiocy passing off as actual intelligence; two terms of one current US President, one successful terrorist attack, one destroyed city in Southern US, and $4-$5 per gallon gas.
Wow, though. The real world and the world on the web is just an extreme polar opposite of each other. What a scary aftertaste.

*sigh* You’re jumping the gun in a moralistic rage. Again. Stop it. This is why I don’t bother reading your blog; you already vent your spleen enough right here.
Read over my message again, and try to reign in that short attention span of yours before firing off half-cocked. You’ll note that I wrote that weak people often use the excuse of high standards as a cover for their weakness. I never wrote anything about whether high standards were useless; that idea is your own feelings and issues being projected, not mine. Your completely unrelated socio-political ranting just confirms it.
But hey, go ahead and continue making blind baseless comments that just trumpet your own issues and insecurities. Continue to judge entire nations on the flimsy basis of their tiny cartoon subcultures. You’re good at that sort of bigoted foolishness, so why stop now?
/ facepalm
July 23rd, 2008 at 9:07 pm
You said that “people with high standards are weak,” pkick. And that, I should add, is some pretty harsh words.
Honestly… I don’t know a thing about “standards.”
I DO know that people will do the craziest things (like knocking on your door at 1:00 in the morning to sell you something) when they’re heroin addicts.
And I made some solemn promise never to become a drug addict, or someone who digs through garbage bins for recyclables.
Then I made a solemn promise to myself never let animu characters beat the crap out of me in effigy. But I don’t have enough power and resources. So I do what I can.
I can utilize the same idea everyone else is using and say; “Nobody’s forcing you to see my vented spleen.” But it’s there. And it annoys you. Just like Revy shoving her guns to Rock’s head; and just like Tomoyo 1000-burst-kicks Youhei. No amount of complaining can change anything.
But hey. I’m not the one doing the facepalming here.
July 24th, 2008 at 2:16 am
No, again you’re ignoring what I actually wrote, in favor of projecting your own ideas of what I wrote. If you need it pointed out for you, then it’s my first message, second sentence. I wrote that weak people often hide behind the excuse of high standards. Let me spell it out for you: there’s a huge difference between actually having high standards, and merely hiding behind them as an excuse to cover up weakness. It is quite telling that you don’t seem to be able tell the difference between the two, even after repeated readings.
And now out of the blue, you bring up drug addiction. Your ranting self-centered projective posts on this board were already starting to resemble textbook “dry drunk” behavior. Maybe you’re not an addict or in rehab, but actual substance abuse isn’t necessary to be as mental as one.
I mean, really. You wrote “solemn promise to myself never let animu characters beat the crap out of me in effigy?” Sheesh, talk about self-centered delusions of grandeur, so much ado about nothing. Anime isn’t heroin, it’s just cheap cartoons. Those Japanese animators aren’t out to get you. Rather, YOU are doing it to yourself. You are deciding to make it personal, then complaining about it. No amount of complaining can change anything, but you seem to enjoy it so much that you’ll think up of all sorts of fancy reasons to turn yourself into a victim, just so that you have an excuse to complain more.
/ You know, I really should be charging for this. Your free couch session ends here.

not a battle,struggle!

Black Lagoon 3: Serious otaku business.
July 24th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Alright, fine. Nevermind, then. I’ll just let you sheeple have your fun by continuing to soullessly belt out “me too” to stuff.
I got better things to do… I’ve atleast DONE better things… Than continue some lame battle over standards not many people here seem to have. Thank you very much and have a nice day.
July 24th, 2008 at 9:12 pm
You are all retards
July 25th, 2008 at 1:58 am
So Tyrenol, what DO you mean with “Alright, fine. Nevermind, then. I’ll just let you sheeple have your fun by continuing to soullessly belt out “me too” to stuff.”?
I don’t know what direction you take with this.
July 25th, 2008 at 3:23 pm
Frankly, I’d prefer any other direction that gets us away from psychoanalyzing one specific person’s issues. Things tend to get ugly when web topics focus too much on a single participant, and I probably didn’t help matters any. I’ll blather on instead about the general topic of standards then, emphasizing again that this is aimed at nobody in particular.
High standards are all well and good, but high standards don’t automatically mean good standards. It’s unfortunately very common in all kinds of fields to have high standards that are still wrong and/or useless. Religion, manufacturing, education, warfare, etc, all those things can be screwed up by incorrect high standards.
For example, the samurai had very high standards on what was needed to run an effective army (nobility, honor, swordsmanship), but in the end they were wrong (you need lots of commoners, rote drills, and mass-produced rifles). Religious extremists tend to have very high standards for morality, but their societies collapse and wither under the relentless oppression of impossibly strict moral codes. Expensive powerful gadgets that ignore usability end up getting outsold by cheap inferior gadgets that are accessible. Schools that focus on getting high test scores do a worse job compared to schools that just teach the basic three R’s.
Standards are like driving a car. Make damn sure it’s pointed in the right direction, because the wrong direction means that even the highest speeds will be useless. Even an old low-speed junker going slowly in the right direction is better than a high-speed sportscar that’s going quickly in the wrong direction.
/ Or we could just let this thread die. It’s already horrendously derailed; what the heck does this have to do with Black Lagoon anyway?
// Erm, or maybe we could talk about Black Lagoon? Uh… Levi’s ass sure is hot in those tight shorts…uh. You know, I don’t even particularly like Black Lagoon in the first place…
/// Yeah. TL, DR. I’ll just shut up now.
July 26th, 2008 at 12:45 pm
Haha, “sheeple”. That’s very clever. Intelligent discourse right here.
July 26th, 2008 at 7:01 pm
maybe we could relate standards to woman and go from there yeah?
like for example I like autistic white and Asian girls, and girls that are clean and nerdy

Black Lagoon 3 = me happy
On a vaguely related note, the reason why WALL*E kicked Wanted to the curbside isn’t because of content (i.e., masochism). It just that the former had a better story than the latter. WALL*E was endearing and struck you on a primal level. Wanted was interesting, but kind of shallow and predictable. Angelina Jolie does NOT automatically mean the movie is going to be good.
Plus, I hear tell that Wanted didn’t live up to its progenitor, the comic. Thus, lower sales. “Fanboys” are hard to please.
Oh, and I love Black Lagoon, and disliked Wanted. It’s unfair to generalize things into one category or another via content. You’d be happier if you didn’t take everything at face value.
Your opinion has been duly noted, however. It’s your right, after all.
Not everybody shares the same opinions, but that’s why life is so interesting to watch from the sidelines.

This has been a hilarious post. I hope more information about Black Lagoon is put up so people will do more FANTASTIC bitching. Seriously guys, it is so funny.
