New Poll - MangaUpdates Releases
(17 posts, 3036 views) Posted: over 2 years ago by gwkimmy in News
At least once a day. I have a pinned tab that I just refresh everyday with my reading list.
wow, it's crazy to know that you've dedicated so much of your life to this site, completely understandable that you would want a break. I can't believe more people don't work on upd...

New Poll - Racism in Manga
(34 posts, 2883 views) Posted: over 4 years ago by gwkimmy in News
I understand that Japan's (and other country's) relationship with race is entirely different than many countries in the west, especially the United States. I'm not really the type of person to promote banning at the smallest stereotype, but I will personally withhold my m...

Whether or not American fears of communism during the Cold War was warranted or not is almost irrelevant in this point in history, I believe that is what what HikaruYami is referring to.
What is important, and damning, is that what the United States did with that fear was ...

New Poll - Animation Quality Deal Breaker
(20 posts, 1526 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by gwkimmy in News
Most fujoshi aren't like me and don't care, they're just thirsty for a mainstream anime that will give them the MLM. Which is fine, I guess. There's a lot more BL anime coming out and I'm excited for like, maybe two of them.

(20 posts, 1526 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by gwkimmy in News
It sucks because I'm a fujoshi, so you'd think I'd be thrilled with it. Instead all we got was pure bait and bullshit cutaways so that no "real romance" is confirmed. Just make them a couple goddamnit! Stop stealing the precious animation budget with animating their angst...

I think it also depends on what the anime's focus is on, as well.
When I watched Yuri on Ice, I thought the story was okay enough (despite the baiting), but what really pissed me off was that they poured the animation budget into animating one or two characters and almost ...

I first voted "ends up with no one" but unfortunately later realized that the option includes those stupid storylines where the MC "just can't choose". should have voted that I hate harems....

New Poll - Rebooting the Classics
(33 posts, 2117 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by gwkimmy in News
It really depends. For me, a classic, good anime is a combination of a great director, great voice acting, great writing/script, and talented artists/animators. If an anime has all of those, no matter how "dated" it looks, then I think it needs no update at all. For what ...

New Poll - Mental Health
(21 posts, 1721 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by gwkimmy in News
dyslexia is more of a learning disability rather than a mental health condition. I don't know what the protocols are in your country but in the U.S you can definitely get diagnosed as an adult if you still need to do "school-ish" things (take exams, read things for work, ...

New Poll - Ecchi
(28 posts, 2077 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by gwkimmy in News
your post really has me thinking as to what the appropriate definition of "ecchi" should be. my definition is that it's male-targeted sexual titillation, which I don't care for and is often juvenile, so I voted for "ignore". The only thing I've enjoyed from this genre has...

New Poll - Deus ex machina
(10 posts, 804 views) Posted: over 5 years ago by gwkimmy in News
I've never, ever seen a deus ex machina used creatively. Even the ending to madoka felt like a deus ex for me and ruined the whole experience of the story.
I have seen them used in strictly comedy series, however, and those are great. bear out of nowhere? the best.

Quote from philip72
A few possible examples:

New Poll - Translating Dialects
(18 posts, 1172 views) Posted: over 6 years ago by gwkimmy in News
This is really tough. Normally I prefer a translation note and nothing else, but then often I forget that the character is talking in a different accent until there's a joke and I've missed the punchline.

I really hate the taste of alcohol, and I can definitely taste it in anything. my friends and family have made me try lots of things and I can taste it. I can even taste the alcohol in certain cakes like tiramisu and rum cake. It's just not my thing at all.

you're going to find skeletons in everyone's closet. you do you, but it's completely fine for people to have the ability to be able to divorce someone's work from the person. something can be learned from the works, even if that person no longer gets employed anywhere....
