i went to a burger king in the mall and they had those star wars toys...
and it said "Collect 17 all new Super-D Star Wars toys!" super-d? as in super deformed? they did look super deformed, but i am curious whether that would was spawned from the anime community and is now used outside of it? (or possibly influenced from it) or is super deformed a word outside of anime? or am i just jumping to conclusions about "super-D?" due to over exposure to anime vocabulary? http://www.starwars.com/episode-iii/release/promo/news20050908.html <-- pictures of these toys |

Guess you didn't realise what was said in the very first post...she or he wanted know if the word was spawned from anime community. |

Looking at the context, I think it probably means "Super-Destiny." I'll withhold the other thoughts I have on the subject.

Although this thread is off topic, I must say Burger King has the WORST cheeseburgers... If you really want fast food, which is terrible for you, get something from In-n-Out or The Habit.
Of course they don't have any Star Wars collectors items, but at least their food is good. |

The concept of "super deformed" characters is pretty much permanently regarded as a distinctly "anime-styled" trait, basically. |

BK's burgers ARE good. Maybe you just had a stuffy nose when you ate them... or something. Plus, I'd rather get a burger at BK or McDonald's instead of some place with a name like In-n-Out. |

Is there some sort of relation between "super deformed" and chibi??? Those star was characters look awfully chibi to me...
OT-- All of BK's burgers suck except the rodeo burger. 1$ = f#@$ing awesome. |

In And Out Rules! Their fries are not that bad if you add salt.
Butt back to the topic, they do look Chibi-ish. But then again they look like "little people" with giant heads and I think in order to be classified as Chibi, they need to have a child looking head as well. Are there any rules to Chibi? Those toys look Meh. R2-D2 is the only one that looks normal. The watches look cheaper than their dollar menu. |

They don't look like that anime style SD, but they do look creepy.
If you dn't know what an anime SD should look like; watch shows like: Dragon Half, Mahoujin Guru Guru, GetBackers (has occasional SD's), lots of 90's anime. I think 70% of the animation in Dragon Half is SD. Fullmetal Alchemist has a few SD scenes though I see a dying tendency of SD's in post 2000 anime. Seems like it's gotten out of style. Sad cuse it's funny if it's used right. |

IN AND OUT IS THE BEST!
i only like the onion rings... well anyways, i was wondering if this was a sing of the anime culture sinking in subtly into non-anime american pop culture? |
