You're being negligent Gaidai! You haven't been on in two years! :p

~Mr. Panda

Having recieved the following "Club messaging has been disabled for now. This will likely return in the future." every time I try to message all club members. And after spending about an hour trying to find out if they even have an ETA on the return, I decided I have to do this the old fashioned way.

Time to nominate your favorite anime!

Rules are simple, nominate a single anime or second one that someone else has nominated.

You may nominate something you have nominated before, but not a previous winner.

Any finished anime series, movie, or finished OAV is eligible. Any anime series currently airing is not.

Please include a url link to the anime that you are nominating as occasionally the name is repeated, but the series are completely different (i.e. Macross).

This thread will remain open until 3 June 2012 and is located here.

Hoping you had a wonderful holiday, and may we look forward to making 2012 better than 2011.

Ah, yes that is true. It's always fun watching her being forced to show how she feels. The only bad thing (to me) is that there is more Zero than Toradora, given they can do so much more with Zero given it's fantasy but..I miss my toradora -_-

Well I wouldn't mind, if they brought out more seasons for the shows other than the ones they show on tv..i mean..seriously. I can't really give examples at the moment but it's like 3:30 here right now.

Haha. No there isn't that much of her..

I love Taiga!! I do like Louise a lot, she deals out a lot more punishment with magic, while Taiga has the pyhsical abuse.

I don't know how well it did over here. Maybe not a lot people knew about it..I mean they didn't bring over Toradora either..I mean it was some no name company that finally heard the fans and brought it over. It just seems like they like the more action flicks rather than harem titles. I mean..I'm waiting for Hyate the combat butler (*coughtaiga'svoiceactresscough*) but it doesn't seem like it's coming out over here.

I didn't even know Zero had a light novel..but it does and of course they don't bring it out here. I would love to have the Durarara light novel out over here..but that isn't going to stand a snowballs chance in hell to be released here.

There are those who understand the nerdy business (comics, games, and cards) and those who don't. You usually have to have a large place to get things going. If your store is just tables so you can play games..there is no reason to start the business. It starts from getting things customers want..I mean if I started a store..I'd have no choice but to sell yuigoh because that crap sells. I hate it..but I would be doing a lot more than just cards.

I just wish some of these would understand and bring some things out over here.

ps. I'd win the fight for louise ;P

Did you know there is a fourth season of Zero coming out! I get to see my Louise again!! I can't wait for it.

The only thing I have kinda against seeing a new season coming out is that it brings it back up about the anime industry over here. I mean, Geaon brought over the first season of Zero but it went under and Funimation took most if not all of the titles that the company had, but it hasn't brought out the second season of Zero or third..so I have reason to believe that they're not bring it out..and it makes me upset that they do something like that.

No gaidai. I'm saying that as a species we don't put enough emphasis on how precious life is by overloading the planet with people and then not taking caring of them. In China they kill thousand of babies that have been born illegally, how is that respect for life? They don;t do it because they want to they do it because they have to.

The world is at overpopulation, We are as a species, or global family trying to run a house hold that can only cope for 3 children, but we have 7. You have 2 children? Well how about you have 10, then lets see you struggle to pay the bills. Then no matter how much you love these kids, you wife turns to you and says, LETS HAVE ANOTHER! No you scream god dammit we can barely take care of the ones we have, we are already failing at that, and then...she says, so what, lets have another, and so you do, and you love that child as much as the others, but you cant even afford to put food on it's plate or clothes on its back.

No gaidai, theres a point people need to realize having children needs to stop.



That anime, was overrated.

I'm not talking about people on welfare, i'm talking about people who have nothing.

Gah, I'm not accusing you of doing something wrong by creating a good life for your children, I'm just saying that you had to make new ones, instead of looking after some that really need it. I'm am definitely NOT equating having children to selfish desire of having sex, I'm equating it to the selfish desire of wanting kids. Theres a big difference. I'm not even saying you are selfish, in fact i'm not talking about you at all. I'm talking Generally. If having kids is the method of giving your life self worth, then that speaks volumes to me, that you as an individual are very incomplete, if you need children to relive, or make something of your life.

and no god dammit, I did not imply at any point that people were a polluted waste, you totally don't understand what I'm saying at all. if you see any part of life as being worthless, then you don't understand life. That means the shit is just as important as the rose itself and to simply blind yourself to anything but the rose is just, silly.If you seriously don't understand the cycle of life and death, and how life becomes life, then we are at a severe impasse logic wise.

There was a kid in my class when I was in senior shcool, he was awesome we will call him kid A, there was another kid in my class, he was not we will call him Kid B.

Now Kid B always used what he had, and made the best of it, example of this was in art class, he has one piece of art to do, but every time he got something wrong he would throw the paper away and by the end of the class he was sitting in a pile of crumpled up paper. Kid A on the other hand would use ONE piece of paper, and make his picture, no matter what mistakes he made, he just persevered until it was as he wanted it to be.

I am simply saying, That in this life, in the world, beyond the borders of america and the states, the rest of the world is suffering on level you cannot possibly imagine, or can. I'm not suggesting you drop your life and run off to Africa, I'm not saying don't have children, I'm not EVEN suggesting you change your opinion in anyway. What I am saying is that, we don't NEED more children, we NEED to look after the ones we have, we NEED to give them better lives, we NEED to work with what we've got, like Kid A,rather than just like just like Kid B keep creating more and more and more and hope our knowledge we pass on is good.

Have all the babies you want, heck have 20 if you want, do whatever you like, It's your life. But I won't ever add to the mess we are already in.

Darwin was used as an example of the fact that despite being a strict christian, when he saw reality for what it was he could not deny the fact, that is not pessimism no matter how much you want to believe it is. It's just reality for him, and for me. His daughter dying was also a reason why he had to face that reality.

Let's please not get into region as well, I already feel like we're rubbing each other the wrong way and I don't like it.

Theres way to much miss-communication.

7 billion people, 7 billion people, at some point, just like China did with it's population control you have to face the fact that having more kids, IS the wrong thing to do. So me not having them, is the only right choice to make.

I wish you all the happiness, and love in the world, but I wish that for everyone else as well. I hope you have a long life with your family and live happy. I can see why that life is so appealing to you, I can see why it's something you want. It's just a shame you can;t understand what I'm saying.

I'm not lecturing you, or at least I didn't want it to come off like that. But Of course we should be cordial, I respect your Opinion and belief. I just feel that me doing something about it is not contributing to the problem by adding to to it. surely you can see that point.

I think it's great you plan on teaching your kids these things, I just think it's a shame that instead of teaching other kids, or giving kids who need homes, a home, you're creating more. What makes your children more valuable over another child life? Please don't take that as some antagonistic attack on you, it's not, but from my perceptive you see, your children, and the one that are in need are exactly the same, it's just the ones in need were here first, by to my mind, o bypassed them to create more. It's just senseless to me.

i know it might stike you as pesimistic, but it's not, it is extreme, but it's based in realism. I'm lucky, I am one of the lucky ones in this world, and as much as I smell the roses, I smell the shit just as much - more so today after having the garden gone, geez my dog can poop - So there's two sides, you can focus on the rose as much as you want, and say it's good, but that rose lives in shit, it feeds off it, and all the animals that rely on it, from bee to human are caught within a cycles of shit, with the glimpse of a perfect and beautiful smelling world. That's good as well, because it shows that from shit beautiful things can blossom, but never forget what that roses roots are in, the blood and subjugation of billions and billions, for one rose, that will eventually die anyway and join the shit.

This is just reality, not just to me, but as Darwin saw it, as Plato saw it, and as I see it neither one of them was wrong. In fact, little known is that the church never did oppose Darwins theory of evolution, they opposed his stark reality that behind the beauty of the world lies a ruthless cycles of survival and suffering, from bird to bee to mammal, every day is a struggle to survive, THAT is what the church in their wisdom could not accept as being part of gods plan, because that would mean God, is a malevolent being, and not one that is all loving.

But, I was just thinking that perhaps this is a bit too deep of a topic to get into, and I don't want to carry on if it makes you uncomfortable, so we agree to disagree ^_^

<3

We have 7 billion people and the most advanced technology known to history. We wont die out any time soon. We could stand to lose half the population, it would make the world a better place to live in, not that we lack resources anyway, it's just they horde resources.

I'm not in despair, I laugh and smile, I have a lot to laugh and smile about, I wonder if the 4 billion starving homeless and poor can say the same.

If you can't care for your fellow man, then THAT is the real cause of humanity downfall, not not having babies because of some wired twisted logic about the extinction of the species.

when a child outside your house is starving and dying, but you'd rather care for one you made yourself, THAT, is a world not worth bringing life into.

We might disagree, But I do believe that life is worth something, it's just that in honesty when you look at reality, the worth of human life is actually less that the cost of your car, or internet for a month. I know you are an optimist about this, that's fine, but i'm a realist, not a pessimist, I just tend to opt for seeing the reality, rather than an extreme of optimism or pessimism, just the facts.

the fact is, people care more about themselves than they do others, and this world has more suffering than not, and to blind yourself to it, is simply ignorant IMO.


Think about this, in the film final destination, he has a vision of the plane crashing. Why then after knowing that would he then just walk blindly onto the plane anyway, knowing what was going to happen. No he ran, anyone would run.

Lets feed the world, and fix the economy before anyone else thinks about having kids. That's what I say. I'd put a lock on the cookie jar so to speak, tell the world to do their fucking chores and clean this shit up before you get to have the right to create more life.

And if you think that life after life experience accumulates and knowledge grows, then just think for a second as to why I might after perhaps hundreds of life times of see the same cycle repeat over and over think that perhaps, something needs to be done differently.

when I was into the whole re-incarnation spiritual thing, a person once described me as being an ''old soul'' well you know what this old soul has to say to the world, shape the fuck up you spoiled little shits.

I don't see it as a cop out, I see it as not adding to the problem.

But you sound a lot like me when I was a kid, I was very into the whole spiritual souls, and re-incarnation, and meeting up in other lives. I believed it vehemently, part of me still does to be honest.

However, I didn't chose to be born, no one really is, that choice is made for you. After seeing 30 odd years of human suffering, on many levels, I think you might have to be a special kind of twisted to bring a new soul into this world, knowing that a life time of suffering awaits them.

It's hard to find an apt analogy, but essentially the way I think about it is like, being in prison, and dragging someone else into prison because you need the company.

As far as the rich poor divide go, that shit, but with 7 billion people on the earth, I ask myself, if we can't even feed the children we have, why make more? why is something your body makes more important than the others suffering around you. If we as a people can't even care for the children around us unless they came from our own bodies, then whatever altruistic desires people might THINk they have about the world are essentially meaningless and shallow. Because they aren't thinking of others, they are only thinking for themselves, and what they created, but fuck everyone else.

It just doesn't fit right for me.
