Re: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt..... (NSFW)
The industry's reliance on otaku who live and breathe moeblobbery is one reason. Hence the downslide in quantity of shows that can appeal to mainstream audiences in favor of more K-On or Endless Eight.

Yeah, take Le Chevalier D'Eon -- a kick-ass series, blending historical fiction with mysticism and Christian elements. But over here, there's no way in hell it would have ever gone off the ground.

Indeed, in the case of the Cross of Saint Peter it is actually more sacred then the right side up version of the cross. And for anyone claiming that the satanists use an upside down crucifix, what do you think the Cross of Saint Peter is? You see Peter was executed by crucifixion but insisted they he be hung upside down so he wouldn't be executed the same as Jesus was(had the advantage of dying faster too).Swindle1984 wrote:To paraphrase Inigo Montoya: "I do not think that means what you think it means."Zixinus wrote:Well, for one, the Japenese really need to be told: an upside-down cross represents satanism!
It's the Cross of St. Peter and has been for centuries. If satanists adopted it as some sort of anti-cross, then that's just more hilarious ignorance than they already typically display.
Satanists are indeed hacks who made many of there supposed symbols not understanding what many of them actually mean.

Re: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt..... (NSFW)
The cross predates Christianity by ages, so that means all Christians are hacks, who made many of their supposed symbols not understanding what many of them "actually mean". Of course, I love the idea that symbols apparently now have some innate meaning and are not merely a shared interpretation of a given squiggle.Isolder74 wrote:Indeed, in the case of the Cross of Saint Peter it is actually more sacred then the right side up version of the cross.

So. Episode 3. Wow. The second half was basically one drawn out semen joke; I'm pretty sure that was a Watchmen reference I spotted, too.

What I find actually more disturbing is that Garterbelt seemed so eager to take Geek Boy away...

The only Gainax production I found entertaining after the whole Eva thing was Gurren Lagann, FLCL was just too pointless random for my taste...

Just saw the first part of the fourth episode. It was hilarious. Seriously, I don't think I saw something as stomach-convulsing as this since Flying Circus.

Quick question: Panty was whining about foreskin and how Brief must have it, he must be such a loser. Erm, why? How did Japan get into the whole fetish of cutting boy's penis's off?
Oh, and Garterbelt is getting more scary every time he goes near boys...

To my knowledge Japan's tradition of circumcision is independent of the west's, and they do not practice routine infant circumcision, instead usually having it done in adolescence or adulthood.

Re: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt..... (NSFW)
The exact quote is "foreskin still attached", which I had assumed was just a way of saying "hasn't finished puberty". That said, it could mean "still has the foreskin"; from what I've read, circumcision in Japan is rare (<1%) but is recently fashionable to have it done to yourself in the late teen years.Zixinus wrote:Quick question: Panty was whining about foreskin and how Brief must have it, he must be such a loser.

This episode actually managed to top over the weirdness, especially with the change of art stlyle. It was pretty glaring too.

Re: Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt..... (NSFW)
Am I the only one that actually found them to be a bit more likable than the two main characters? After all, aside the business in the basement (and the "loser class" thing, although I suspect that may not be their doing) all they did is to get everyone uniforms and make people eat healthy stuff. When challenged, their request was a non-violent confrontation.
Still, at least we see the story progressing.
