I like the cut of your jib!

I said fite me though! D:

[Jester Joe]

I said fite me though! D:

I cannot fight!

Especially since I have no idea of what anime to even start insulting!

Well, guess that's what I get for trying to start a fight with a mod..

Also, just checking, but you don't have any power outside of Gen OT and Hearthstone?

[Temp name]

I stopped watching on ep5. The main dude reminds me to much of the arrogant boy I once was am

Fixed that for you

[Jester Joe]

Nope, I do not!

I stopped watching on ep5. The main dude reminds me to much of the arrogant boy I once was. Among other issues

Keep watching. You're getting close to the good part. Around 12 is where it start escalating.

[Temp name]

Nope, I do not!

Well, fuck..

[Jester Joe]

Wait til ep 12 of 27...jajajajajaja

Watch 60 more episodes Seany, plsss do itttt

:P

Seriously though, episode 8 is where it gets real. And then it gets better and better. Skip episode 16 though unless you like recaps.

[Jester Joe]

The difference is he liked Ippo as of ep 1. He just to lazy to finish 60eps because he rather binge 7

If you don't like Gurren Lagann, then I'm sorry, but your taste is...inadequate.

But seriously, episode 8. I didn't really get sucked in until then.

[Jester Joe]

My taste is fine, rather this seems like a coming of age for Simon. An over the top animation an blaring masculinity checks aren't enough to hold attention

Psh, yet DBZ did? Episode 8, do it. DO IT.

Also it's really more of a battle for humanity story, which just happens to include tons of development for Simon, which you'll see start at about EPISODE 8 COME ON THEY'RE ONLY 24 MINUTES.

And you liked DBZ? That was/is literally all just masculinity checks with excessive screaming

[icedwarrior]

Watch 60 more episodes Seany, plsss do itttt

But...I'm Seany... Upon further reading, I now get what you were saying. Derp.

Seriously though, episode 8 is where it gets real. And then it gets better and better. Skip episode 16 though unless you like recaps.

Exponentially worse, you mean.

[Temp name]

Dbz isn't a masculinity checks. Vegeta is. But Dbz isn't

Goku is too.. And basically any villain they fight (Except Beerus)

[Jester Joe]

An Yoko triggers me greatly
Dbz isn't a masculinity checks. Vegeta is. But Dbz isn't

Hence keep watching, Yoko drops off from the spotlight. She's still an important character, but you'll see.

Also DBZ literally boils down to who can beat the other person up more. That's uh...pretty much "masculinity" checks, Gurren Lagann just makes your willpower literally your fighting power.

But...I'm Seany... Upon further reading, I now get what you were typing. Derp.

Exponentially worse, you mean.

Yeah, making fun of him

And worse as in "This is tragic", sure, but great story!

The strive for perfection isn't a masculinity check

Wanting goku dead isn't a masculinity check

Trying to conquer the universe isn't a masculinity check

See, you didn't even scratch the surface of Gurren Lagann. Since two of those are very much a major plot element too, you just haven't seen it yet. You're basing too much of the story off of Kamina. Trust me, keep going.

[icedwarrior]

And worse as in "This is tragic", sure, but great story!

I feel like we're polar opposites in regards to anime (minus Steins;Gate, but I feel like that's impossible not to love)...

[Temp name]

The strive for perfection isn't a masculinity check

Wanting goku dead isn't a masculinity check

Trying to conquer the universe isn't a masculinity check

Screaming for 7 episodes and punching each other is.

Goku doesn't strive for perfection, he strives to be the best at fighting.
The villains don't strive to kill Goku, they strive to kill shit

[Jester Joe]

I feel like we're polar opposites in regards to anime (minus Steins;Gate, but I feel like that's impossible not to love)...

Oh dear, don't become like my girlfriend's mom.

"What, Joe doesn't like bacon or steak? What does he eat then?!"

Oh, I don't know, literally anything else.

[Jester Joe]

crazy how you tell me this about Gurren when i've proven you only touched the surface of dbz an won't speak to me about it! but im supposed to trust you an finished through. </3

Except I've read all of DBZ, and your "surface" of DBZ is subjective.

Even Iced will tell you you haven't reached the actual plot yet, and he apparently doesn't even like Gurren Lagann past that point.

You summed up the story as a "Coming of Age" story. You're not horribly off, except it's still not true. That's like saying DB is a coming of age story for Goku. Sure, he matures a bit during the story, but it's just a singular part.

[Temp name]

Who kknew danes could be so hyperbolic
Cell was obsessed with perfection
Andriods wants goku dead
freiza domination
piccolo domination

Saiyans wanted to kill things and blow things up (For either shits and giggles or money)
Buu wanted to eat (and also kill things)
The Frieza we meet doesn't do a lot of Dominating, he just kills things
Piccolo isn't a bad guy in Z

Can't remember cell or Androids, they were just rather dull, unmemorable and forgettable imo.

And you didn't try to deny that the entire show is literally about Goku getting stronger so he can beat more shit up. That's the entire premise of the show.

Cell was pretty much just "I want to beat everyone up", which is his form of "perfection" since he was made from the DNA of the Z Fighters.

Basically all fighting in DBZ boils down as "For a power flex" in a way, or to exhibit displays of strength.

Gurren Lagann goes the opposite way with it, but SOMEONE won't get that far </3

You could literally say that Cell wanted to be a drag queen and I'd half believe you. I really remember nothing about him.

I haven't watched Gurren Lagann. It's been on my list for YEARS and I just never got around to it..

Also, what's everyones opinion on the Monogatari series? I started and got a couple episodes in before dropping it. It's fine but.. Nothing stands out in the first 5 or so episodes.
